School board learns about graduation rates By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – Recently released numbers for Powhatan High School’s graduation rates and advanced classes show the students and staff are hard at work. Figures released during the Powhatan County School Board workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 13, showed that while there is always room for improvement, the efforts of the high school staff and students are paying dividends in the graduation rates and college readiness measures. Sandy Lynch, assistant superintendent for instruction, Tracie Omohundro, principal, and John Ringstaff, assistant principal, spoke to the board about the school’s PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND graduation rates, Advanced Placement Sandy Lynch talks to the school enhancements and SAT results. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, com- board about graduation rates.

mended the high school team for their hard work, including the administration, teachers, counselors and the people who prepare the students before they get to high school. “I fully anticipate given the results we have just seen with AP that we will make the AP Honor Roll again,” he said after the presentation. “If you remember last year we were one of six districts in the state that (were) named to that and to see even higher scores and higher participation this year is really incredible work by that team and by the teachers and the students.” Valarie Ayers, who represents District 3, praised the “amazing things” staff are doing to help students. “It is a team. That is what our whole school system is and you guys are doing a great job,” she said. Rick Cole, District 1, also praised the

high school’s numbers and Sammy Frame, District 4, lauded the staff’s common sense approach in many ways.

Graduation rates In looking at graduation rates, one measure is the Graduation/Completion Index (GCI), which uses a weighted point system and is linked to state accreditation, Lynch said. The school receives different points depending on whether a student receives a diploma or GED, is still enrolled, has a certificate of completion or drops out. The benchmark for full state accreditation is a score of 85, but Powhatan County Public Schools in 2015 achieved a score of 95, which was an increase of three points, she said. “A lot of good work went into that,” see SCHOOL page 2A

Mission trip changes heart of Powhatan teen By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Kneeling at the feet of African orphans is like no other experience Victoria Hughes could have imagined. The tiny feet were dirty and marked with cuts. As she washed them and tended to the wounds, very few of the children said anything. As she slid socks and shoes onto their feet – some of them experiencing the feeling for the first time – their eyes held wonder. And when she finished and they would stand and hug her, their simple “thank you” meant the world to her. “It definitely was more of an emotional thing than I thought it was going to be, just because you see these kids that have nothing,” said Hughes of Powhatan. “Something as simple as washing their feet and giving them shoes, they are so grateful. You think about how much you take for granted.”

The life-changing moment of giving shoes to African orphans who had none is part of what Hughes, a senior at Powhatan High School, experienced this summer when she traveled to Zambia as part of a month-long Teen Missions International trip. The program’s main goal of instilling a passion for missions in teenagers worked for Hughes. She said she wasn’t ready to come back to the United States and felt as though she was leaving part of her heart in Africa at the end of the 28-day trip. She already wants to return next summer, hopefully as an assistant leader with the program. She also plans to attend a leadership seminar in November in Florida related to the program and is holding a shoe drive to collect shoes that will be taken on similar trips by others.

Bennett vies for supervisor seat Hymel seeks re-election to board By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – Charlie Bennett has announced he is running for the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors District 5 seat. Bennett is running as a libertarian and acts as the secretary for the Libertarian Party of Powhatan County. Bennett, 24, is a lifelong resident of Powhatan County and owns a house on Bell Road. “Living in Powhatan all my life shows my heart and soul is invested in Powhatan,” he said. While working fulltime at his father’s business, Bennett and Barden Funeral Home, he also volunteers around the community to make a difference, he said. Bennett said his plan for economic growth will make Powhatan business-friendly. Business obstacles are

tougher at the county level than they are on the commonwealth level, so he said he wants to make starting a business in Powhatan an easier and more efficient process. Currently, Powhatan citizens spend much of

Bennett their money outside the county. As a supervisor, Bennett said he will prioritize finding ways to keep money within the county to cause an increase in revenue. When Bennett’s plan is successful, he said he plans to lower property taxes in Powhatan so the citizens will have more

money to spend on local businesses within the county. Bennett’s responsible budgeting plan will promote transparency and ensure no last-minute decisions occur, he said. When the public is unaware of last-minute changes, it causes an unhealthy relationship between the board of supervisors and the citizens of Powhatan. “It is unfortunate that a last-minute decision was the reality of the last fiscal year 2016 budget meeting,” Bennett said. “I will ensure the public has reasonable and adequate time to acknowledge and understand any decision beneficial or detrimental to their taxes.” Bennett will be on the campaign trail gaining support throughout Powhatan’s 5th District.

OWHATAN – Kim Hymel has announced she is running for re-election for the Powhatan County School Board District 5 seat. Hymel and her husband have two children in Powhatan County schools and their education is the family’s top priority, she said. She has been a board member since February 2014 and has a degree in education. Although retired now, Hymel was an elementary school teacher for more than 20 years, making her “uniquely qualified to serve this community and its schools.” Hymel said her steadfast goals are educating every student to maximize their potential within the county’s budgetary limitations. “For the past 19 months, I stood for financial transparency in

Hymel Powhatan.” Hymel said she will continue to visit every facility and meet personally with every administrator and teacher to help understand from the inside out what’s happening in the school system. “I believe this enables me to make better financial, program, and

administrative decisions,” she said. Hymel said she has consistently stood for face-to-face meetings with the board of supervisors to deal with the difficulties encountered over the last few years. “I care passionately and believe in our school system and its potential to dramatically make our children’s future all that it can be. I also look forward to working with Jessica Gray, who is running in District 3 and Joe Walters, District 4,” she said. As a small community of caring and concerned parents, citizens, taxpayers, and excellent teaching staff working together on solutions, Powhatan can have the best school district in Virginia working toward state of the art technology and facilities, Hymel said.

She pointed to the other committees with members up “My understanding is that the advisory committees

are formally named and are standing committees that meet every year, and there are working committees that may meet on a specific topic,” he said. Jones said the staff put the committee in because it was the board’s desire to know who was on the committee and approve those people “because it is a very important topic.” Hymel agreed this wasn’t a continuing committee but one where as people from the community want to give input, that should be welcomed. Hymel stringently opposed limiting the number of people from District 5 since they were willing to help and said that if there are more people wanting to be on the committee from other districts they should also be welcomed. She said that if the other board members have someone from their districts they want to offer, they should do so. She added that either all of the advisory committees should be held to the same rules and have district numbers counted or none of them. Otherwise it looks “very discriminatory.” Cole said he would be fine with staff coming up with discussion points that committee members rate, but that he would be concerned having everyone come from one district. The discussion went on for several minutes with the

School

‘why don’t I challenge myself in this area?’ ” The high school saw a 16.9 percent increase in new students taking AP classes, Ringstaff said. Minorities make up 8.1 percent of students enrolled in AP classes and 7.8 percent in dual enrollment classes. One fact that should really stand out to people is that as the high school has increased the participation of students enrolling in AP courses, it has increased the number of students who earned qualifying scores of 3, 4, and 5. “So we upped our numbers and at the same time we got kids to make 3s, 4s, and 5s, which are those scores we want to see translate into college success,” he said. Further opportunities for growth include the AP Academy for students new to those courses, AP boot camps prior to the tests and summer AP prep days for enrolled students. The high school is also investigating new opportunities in AP art, music, and economics, he said.

she said. Lynch also talked about the on-time graduation rate, which takes into account six different types of diplomas – advanced, standard, international baccalaureate, modified standard, special, and general achievement diploma. The average on-time graduation rate for the state is 90.5 percent, while Powhatan had a rate of 92.6 percent, Lynch said. This was an increase of 5.7 percent. In looking a little deeper, Lynch showed the board how Powhatan High School ranked overall in a comparison of 16 central Virginia schools and did the same thing for some of its subgroups. Some of the districts it was compared to were in Amelia, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, Louisa, and Prince George counties and Richmond City. The school district’s overall on-time graduation rate in that comparison ranked in fifth place. The rate among females (94.6 percent) was higher than males (90.7 percent), but the rankings in those groups were fifth and fourth, respectively. The rate for white students (93.1 percent) ranked fourth in the comparison while the rate for black students (84.4 percent) was in 11th place. Lynch pointed out that while the on-time graduation rate for black students was the only one to see a decrease, that is more pronounced when

there are a smaller number of students. “When this went down 10.4 percent, we are talking about three to four students that caused that. It is a much smaller subgroup than 300 students that graduated altogether,” she said, adding there were 32 black students in the previous school year. The rate for students with disabilities (88 percent) ranked seventh while the one for economically disadvantaged (79.5 percent) was in 13th place. Jones said that the graduation rate evaluations can be affected by issues such as students moving to another school system, leaving and not enrolling somewhere else or leaving school for another reason and the school staff is unable to track them. “Remember this is a four-year graduation rate, so if a student takes longer, they are counted as not graduating on time. Even though our goal is to make sure they graduate, if they take a little more time then we certainly facilitate that,” he said. Lynch also pointed out that tracking a graduating class, called a cohort, starts at the ninth grade and so the rate can be affected by events throughout a fouryear period of high school. Of the 340 students in the Class of 2015, 197 graduated with an advanced studies diploma, 112 with a standard diploma, 12 dropped out and the rest fell in other categories. The advanced diploma rate of 57.9 percent was up

by 7.2 percent despite the fact that the number of credits required for that honor went up from 24 to 26 standard credits. “That is wonderful. We made great, great progress there,” Lynch said.

Increasing on-time graduation rates There were a number of strategies that school staff worked on to increase its graduation rates and all of them were part of a team effort, Omohundro said. Some of the efforts in English and math included creating algebra functions data analysis (AFDA) and English 12 classes for students without a math or English verified credit; conducting algebra remediation during Indian time, and moving the writing SOL test to the 10th grade to give additional time for retesting. A strategy in cohort monitoring included establishing a Green Team, which is a collaboration between school counselors and administrators, Omohundro said. The move has created a sense of teamwork in those two departments. “The green is the green light for graduation. The point is that we all want everyone to go for graduation,” she said. Other efforts include identifying rising freshmen who are at risk by meeting with the Powhatan Junior High School staff during the summer. The high school revised its school-based promotion policy, which previ-

ously said students were in whatever grade level that matched their English class level, she said. However, school staff found it wasn’t an accurate reflection and could be misleading to parents and students. “We revised the promotion policy so we could accurately reflect whether or not kids are progressing properly toward graduation,” she said. The school also is implementing an advisory style Indian time where students are put with targeted teachers they already have a connection with to support those who are more at risk, she said.

Advanced Placement program The amount of students taking Advanced Placement (AP) classes and the number of tests being taken have seen a big increase in the last four years, Ringstaff said. AP course enrollment has steadily grown from 169 students in the 20112012 school year to 305 in the 2014-2015 school year, he said. At the same time, the number of AP exams administered steadily rose from 275 in 2011-2012 to 445 in the most recent school year. Dual enrollment courses taken saw more fluctuation through the years, starting with 63 in 20112012 and going on to 56, 79 and 54 in the following three years, he said. He said to keep in mind that when more AP classes are added, “kids naturally say,

see BOARD page 4A

SAT results After this year, discussions about the SATs will change as the format is being changed, Omohundro said. The current SAT format was adopted in 2006. The overall trend lines have increased in the reading, writing and math scores, although the scores tend to fluctuate from year to year, she said. The school saw a seven-point increase in math scores in the 2014-2015 school year

among the 200 test takers. It saw dips in reading (down 10 points) and writing (down 5 points). “Over the course of this 10-year span, our biggest success was in reading. We saw significant gains, almost 30 points in reading,” she said. The combined scores of all three categories for Powhatan seniors exceeded the national average by five points, she added. Strategies to help the students in the old testing system included PSATs and boot camps. With the new test format, the school conducted a parent training on back-toschool night, is doing faculty training in November, is offering a PSAT analysis night for parents, and will have in-class incorporation of test questions. The new test still has reading, writing and math components, but now the essay is separate and they are going to provide a combined score for reading and math reminiscent of an older format, she said. There are eight major changes to the test, including having no penalty for wrong answers, taking an approach in reading and writing more like what students see in the classroom, and reduced geometry questions and increased emphasis on algebra in the math component. The first time the new SAT will be administered is in March. Juniors may choose to take the old SAT test earlier than that, but school staff is encouraging them to wait and take the new test, Omohundro said.

what is necessary to conduct a criminal trial and anticipate the needs of both the prosecutor and defendant, Cox said. That allows for trials to be conducted in an efficient and fair manner ensuring justice is served.

Richmond Realtors PAC endorses three supervisors Contributed Report

he Richmond REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has endorsed supervisors Bill Melton, Larry Nordvig, and Carson Tucker for re-election to the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors. Melton, Nordvig, and Tucker all have demonstrated their commitment to a fiscally responsible county government that operates efficiently to meet the needs of its constituents, according to the group. The three men’s dedication to the protection of private property rights was factored into the RPAC Trustees’ decision. It is clear that the three supervisors also know that the rural character of Paid Political Advertisement

Powhatan is what makes it attractive to homebuyers, the group said. They strive to make sure that character is maintained, while simultaneously leading efforts to foster a diverse housing plan that meets the needs of all Powhatan’s residents. “The RPAC trustees are pleased to endorse Mr. Melton, Mr. Nordvig, and Mr. Tucker,” Mary K. McDonald, chair of the RPAC trustees, said. “Preserving the county’s rural character is important to Realtors; any kind of growth in the county should be done intelligently and with the utmost care. We feel that these supervisors reflect our values.” The Richmond Association of Realtors represents more than 4,000 members who live and work in the Richmond metropolitan area.

I am a long time resident of Powhatan County, and raised three children here. I am a U.S. Navy Veteran, with a College Degree in Protective Services with a major in Administration of Justice, and 31 years Experience and Leadership as a Police Officer and Lieutenant. The decision to run for Sheriff was made after meeting with citizens, hearing their concerns about the Sheriff’s Department, and taking into consideration the Crime Trends, and Crime Clearance Rates. I concede that there are many areas needing positive change, such as management and leadership within the department. A department should be pro-active, and not just re-active. I plan to maintain the employees of the department, and to work with all the employees. When job openings come up, I plan to hire more female and minority Deputies. I know that with positive changes in leadership, the department will become one that all the citizens will be proud of. The citizens of Powhatan will see positive changes in the Sheriff’s Department when Dan is elected. I plan to review the budget and look for cost saving areas. During the reorganization of the Department I will address the need for Community Friendly Deputies, while being professional in the execution of their duties. My plan is to divide the county into Patrol Districts, and assign Deputies to specific areas of patrol. This will allow citizens to get to know the Deputies and work with them. Remember, this November you can vote for positive change in the Sheriff’s Department, not the continuing of the leadership of the past. I ask for your support and your vote. 229044-01

Contributed Report Carol M. Brydge, clerk of the Augusta County Circuit Court, has announced she has given her full endorsement to Teresa Hash Dobbins as Powhatan Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clerk of Circuit Court. Brydge said she has been associated with Dobbins for a number of years through the Virginia Circuit Court Clerksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association. There are varying sizes of circuit court clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices throughout Virginia, she said. A number of those offices are supported by a large population base that provide funding for an abundance of staff. In some of those offices the clerk acts in the capacity of CEO only. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, in the middle and smaller populated jurisdictions throughout Virginia, such as your beautiful county of Powhatan, the clerk is a working clerk. Not only does the clerk act in the capacity of CEO, she also works in the trenches with her employees, assuring the public are served promptly and efficiently,â&#x20AC;? Brydge said. Dobbins brings to the clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office of Powhatan County 19 months of experience as the clerk of court, an additional six years as a civil, criminal, probate and land recording deputy clerk and over 11 years

have shoes for you is the most heartbreaking thing in the world,” she said. The drop off point for new or used shoes in good condition is Sweet Shop Donuts in Powhatan, where Hughes works. The drive runs through Monday, Nov. 2. For more information on the shoe drive, One Sole at a Time, contact Hughes at onesoleatatime@ yahoo.com. Pat Storey, head female leader on the trip, said she was impressed with Hughes’ passion in Africa and by the fact it has continued with the shoe drive at home and with the teen’s plans to go back as a leader. “I think she would be very good at it. She adjusted well and she was so happy to do what she was doing. She would be a good leader for other teens. She was a good example as a member of our team,” Storey said.

will ruin them and get them dirty. It is an adjustment for them to have shoes on their feet.” The footwashing team traveled to three AIDS orphan rescue units, where they also evangelized and played games with the children, Hughes said. The centers, each manned by two people, are not orphanages. They provide a place where the orphans can go and get a meal and ask for help. Many of the orphans live with only a slightly older sibling to care for them. Spending a week at each of the

“By the time we left we were all in tears because we had to go. You just love those little guys, you wish you could scoop them all up because you don’t want to leave them there,” Storey said. “That goes for everybody on the team, teenagers and leaders alike. We all felt the same way.” Hughes recalled seeing television commercials about children in Africa but said the reality of being there and seeing it firsthand was completely different. The experience didn’t get any easier, but the teens became more com-

came a Christian, travel was always about having fun. After a trip to Europe that summer, she decided what she really wanted to do was go on a missions trip. Choosing the Zambia trip was a last-minute decision, and Hughes said she is not quite sure why she made it. But after going on the trip this summer, she realized it was the right call. After two weeks of orientation in Florida, Hughes traveled with 18 other teenagers and four leaders on June 23 to the country in southern Africa. The team’s main purpose in Africa was washing the feet of orphans, treating the wounds caused by walking around barefoot and slipping shoes on their feet, Storey said. In all they gave out more than 700 pairs of shoes. “They are very proud of their new shoes. I saw one little boy dancing around his guardians after he got his,” Storey said. “At times you will see them wear them a little bit and take them off because they are afraid they

centers, the group always started with the feet washing, which took about two days, she said. Then they would spend several days putting on dramas, singing with the children and telling them about God. If she thought the feet washing was humbling, Hughes said she couldn’t imagine the feeling of leading 98 children in the salvation prayer during the trip. In all, more than 250 children said the prayer, she said. “I knew about how Jesus washed the feet of his disciples to show them love. I knew when we were doing that we were showing them God’s love,” she said. “It was a cool way to break every wall. The language barrier didn’t matter. It was clear that we were loving them, so it didn’t matter that we couldn’t really talk to them.” The first center was a shock for the teenagers as it was generally their first time seeing people living in such poverty, Storey said. However, they adjusted and showered love on the children.

fortable approaching the children, she said. The children at the second rescue center were a little older, so the teens could talk to them more and form closer relationships. The third center had a large number of toddlers and children who were ill, she said. “They had bellies that would pop out. We were told that was a sign of a disease that eventually kills them,” Hughes said. “That was really hard. We were playing with these kids knowing that they probably wouldn’t live much longer and there was nothing we could do about it.” Despite the abject poverty she saw, Hughes said she was amazed how much joy was there, too. “They rely on God for everything. There is a quote that says, ‘If God is all you have then you have all you need,’ and they really live by that,” she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Halloween safety needs to be a priority By Laura McFarland News Editor

o you ever have those instances where someone is telling you something you are positive you already know and you just want to tune them out? Frequent flyers know this feeling. There are only so many times you can listen to a flight attendant go over the safety instructions before you want to say “I know how to buckle a seatbelt!” Or imagine the look on a child’s face when his mother tells him – for the 20th time – to put on his helmet before going bike riding with his friends. Yes, absolutely it can be annoying. But in those instances and many others, the point of the repetition is to make sure safety is on your mind. Take Halloween. On Saturday, Oct. 31, it is a given that there are going to be lots of little people out and about on or around roads. Some people spend extensive amounts of time planning and executing costumes and working out routes for the best run of candy. It is a night of fun, frivolity and sugar rushes. It also is, on average, the one night of the year where children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed, according to Safe Kids Worldwide, a global organization dedicated to preventing injuries in children. Knowing what can happen – but thankfully hasn’t here – the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office takes Halloween safety seriously, 1st Sgt. Scott Lane said.

In addition to the regular patrol on duty, the sheriff’s office will have four additional deputies patrolling neighborhoods to make sure people stay safe. This is something the department has done annually for years. It isn’t even an added burden for the county to do it since the sheriff’s office pays for the deputies’ time using grants from the Department of Motor Vehicles, he said. That said, there is only so much they can do across a county this size. There are some steps people need to be responsible for before heading out for some Halloween fun: If you are a driver going through a neighborhood or entering or exiting a driveway, don’t take anything for granted. Assume a little goblin or princess could run out into the road at any moment in their quest for more candy and drive accordingly. Key trick-or-treating hours are usually from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. with higher concentrations of people definitely out by 6:30 p.m. On the flip side, parents can’t assume that every driver will follow through with this. It’s a Saturday night and a holiday. People are excited and heading to parties and other events, some of them in a hurry. Make sure your child knows road safety such as crossing at corners, crosswalks and traffic lights, looking both ways and walking, not running across. Darth Vader and ninja costumes are great, but they also are dark. It might not exactly fit the image they want, but decorate the costumes and trick-ortreat bags with reflective tape or stickers to increase their visibility. Glow sticks are a fun way to add an

eye-catching element. Children under the age of 12 should not be out alone at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, have a conversation with them about staying in familiar areas that are well lit and trick or treating in groups. Have fun with costumes, but make sure they fit. Length is especially important as you don’t want long robes, dresses and capes causing trips and falls. Making sure a child can see properly also is vital. Face paint is a better option to masks, helmets or other items covering their heads and eyes. Flashlights also are a must to help light their way. Put the phone down. Take a few photos with your smart phone to put on Facebook later and then put it away. If you are incessantly talking on your phone, texting or looking up stuff on the Internet, your eyes are not on your children and making sure nothing bad is happening to them. Know where to go. Tell children not to cross lawns as there could be things on the ground that might trip them. If the light is off, move to the next house. Powhatan County has been fortunate to not have a major issue of a child being hurt by a car on Halloween, Lane said. Some records don’t need to be broken. Have fun, but make safety a priority. Happy trick or treating! Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Tucker proven to be man of character, dignity, decency Dear Editor, The Powhatan County District 5 residents should be proud of the leadership we have had under supervisor Carson Tucker. He has proven to be a man of great character. During his tenure in office, his salary has been allocated to helping Powhatan’s senior population. If the County of Powhatan wants to continue to grow for the betterment of all, District 5 citizens should vote for Carson Tucker, a man with budgeting and management skills. He is a man of dignity and decency. Vernell and Herbert Straughter Powhatan County

Dobbins a natural born leader dedicated to service Dear Editor It has been my honor and privilege to know Teresa Hash Dobbins for most of her life. She and my daughter Kelly were inseparable. Over the years I have watched her grow into a vibrant, energetic, and thoughtful woman. As a student in the Powhatan school system, she participated in several clubs, was active in class leadership serving as SCA (student council association) president and as junior class president. She worked hard in academics as well as played hard in sports. Teresa has always loved serving others and helping people that were in need. She and my daughter Kelly, decided to become “candy striper” volunteers at Chippenham Hospital. They would give up their free time on Saturdays and during the summer to offer help and comfort to hospital patients. Now, I am proud to see that strong work ethic and quest for learning continue as a very hard working clerk of the court. It is quite an honor that she is the first Circuit Court Clerk in Virginia to become a certified court manager. This puts Teresa among a very small group (less than 140) of people who have chosen to continue their education in a field they know and love. She has taken, completed and even qualified to teach her fellow clerks all of the six required courses to become a certified court manager. Teresa continues to serve others by training fellow clerks and deputy clerks so that they too can obtain their certification. Teresa is a natural born leader. She has extensive management experience and personifies customer service. She

has staffed her office with like minded people that enjoy serving their fellow Powhatan County citizens. She has taken her experience as the secretary/treasurer from her family’s construction company and used that knowledge to improve the clerk’s office in such areas as grants, technology, continuous training of staff, excellent customer service and efficiency. As a long-time resident of Powhatan, I would like to invite all citizens to vote for Teresa as we need her strong work ethic, energy and commitment to excellence. Vote Teresa Hash Dobbins on Nov. 3. Pauline Dufficy Powhatan County

Ayers puts students first, brings experience to office Dear Editor, Valarie Ayers, an experienced candidate, is running for re-election for the Powhatan County School Board in District 3. Valarie has shown her genuine spirit through her actions and service. She served six years as a volunteer at Powhatan Elementary School and for the past 20 years has served on the school board. What we love about Valarie is that her decisions and votes are based on thorough research and are very transparent. What’s most important is that these decisions are made by putting the students first, which makes us very proud to support her! We feel that Valarie’s hard work and devotion is a testimony to the superior school system that Powhatan County is so proud of! Jo Ann and James Woodson Powhatan County

History of service shows caring character of supervisor Dear Editor, My family and I moved to Powhatan County in 1990 and I was somewhat hesitant in voting in any of the elections for supervisor for District 5. None of them expressed to me to be for the good of Powhatan, nor for the good of the people. When I met Carson Tucker about eight years ago, I knew I had finally met a person who I could trust and depend upon for the good of the community. I say this

because one day he walked into the Powhatan Fair building, introduced himself and asked me what he could do to help. In 2007, I started an outreach program called the Hope Supper Table, a program to serve a hot meal to the elderly people and those in need and to deliver meals to the sick and shut-ins every third Saturday. From that day on, Carson has helped serve every third Saturday unless pressing business did not allow him to come, which was very seldom. I not only find him to be an intelligent and caring man but a humble man who is willing to serve the people wherever he can. You don’t generally find these traits in a politician. He not only talks the talk, but he actually walks the walk. He has truly shown this from his years of being on the board. He’s a strong man who stands for and what a politician should be – willing to serve the people. We need to vote for someone who we have known for many years and who has done an exemplary job, as opposed to someone we don’t know. My vote goes to Carson Tucker, whom I have come to know very well.

Political dealings have no place in local office level Dear Editor, Like so many Americans, I am tired and a little frustrated by all the political dealings on the federal level – possible shutdowns and maneuvers that only seem to hurt regular middle class Americans. The one time no one should have to deal with these kinds of shenanigans is in local government. Our supervisors are members of our community and should simply be concerned with running the county to meet the needs of the community. One example of a supervisor who follows this principal is Carson Tucker. Mr. Tucker is a traditional man with conservative values who has the strength of character to stand on his own two feet and simply choose what is best based on the merits of the proposition. Being an independent candidate allows him to be free of political ties to any party or obligations to anyone but the people he represents. He is a man who does not make a lot of easy promises but always keeps the ones he makes. Whenever there is an election, there will always be the candidates who will promise to lower your taxes.

Approving an architectural and engineering contract for the design of the joint transportation/maintenance facility. Negotiations with BCWH Architects have been ongoing to finalize the contract for basic service fees and additional services. The architectural and engineering contract to get the county to bid in January 2016 would require a total of $233,718.

most a tradition. Most people know that is not really going to happen. Four years ago, there were those who made the same promises. Yet for most, real estate taxes did not go down more than a few dollars and for many taxes actually increased. The increase in the local license tax on each car offset the savings some had and the real estate rate went up twice. This all happened when the republicans had a majority on our board of supervisors. The truth is local taxes are not about being democrat or republican or even libertarian. Local taxes are about providing services to the citizens that they either need or want. Powhatan has an excellent credit rating because it is already reasonably well run, so when real estate assessments went down, the rate had to go up. Now that real estate values are increasing, after our next assessment, the tax rate should go down regardless of who has the majority vote on the board of supervisors. So as we work our way toward Election Day and the political rhetoric builds, think about what you really want in a candidate and ultimately a supervisor. An independent candidate like Carson Tucker is not expected to follow any agenda. He understands that as our county grows, we must

ing to kinship care. The school district recently had a request for admission for school admission from an out-of-state caregiver to enroll their grandchild in Powhatan County Public Schools, Jones said. Because of the difficulty the family had to go through to enroll the student, the school district became aware its policy was more stringent than dictated by Virginia Code. Current Powhatan policy asks for approval from the department of social services in both the receiving district and the district where the child is coming from, he said. “After researching it, we found out the Virginia Code says ‘or’ – it can be one or the other,” he said. Jones said kinship care cases are rare in Powhatan but that he recommended going with state code. Cole said he could understand

allowing approval from only one social services department, but he preferred the school district always try to get approval from both. Hymel said she thought the school district needs to make it so the process isn’t so difficult and “help out grandparents that are residents here that want to help their families.” No vote was taken on the issue. The less stringent policy will come back for approval at the board’s meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 27. Recognizing two groups. The school board recognized the Powhatan High School FFA chapter for attending the Virginia FFA Convention in June and having three of the teams win their respective contests. The school board recognized National School Bus Safety Week and had many of its trans-

attract quality small and medium sized businesses to keep taxes from overburdening our citizens. As a person who often attends the supervisors’ meetings, I have watched Mr. Tucker thoughtfully consider and question many proposals. His concern is always for the people. His only consideration is the best course of action for the majority of the people of Powhatan, no strings attached. Isn’t that the way it should be? Joanne S. Fico Powhatan County

Record of supervisor shows integrity, willingness to listen

Dear Editor, It is time for Powhatan County to know the candidates for the board of supervisors. Our country’s political atmosphere has moved from ethical and moral rightness to mudslinging and character diminishment. Therefore we have nothing to base decisions upon other than looking at a candidate’s proven record. Mr. Carson Tucker, District 5 representative, is unique in his commitment not only to his constitutes but to all the people of Powhatan County. Mr. Tucker has served the Powhatan community for 31 years. Mr. Tucker’s record: Instrumental in stopping a third prison in the county. Active leadership in preventing a Richmond City landfill. Leadership in organizing and preventing the State Police firing range. Founded and continues to organize litter clean-up of 5 miles on Old River Trail for 31 years. Participates in yearly James River clean-up. Instrumental in the budgeting of state funds for safety improvement for the state park entrance on Route Jeff Cochran Ins Agcy Inc 522.

ernance and civic life. I am writing to attest to the significant contributions made by Carson Tucker to both. Carson is not a “come’ere”; he built his home in Powhatan more than 40 years ago. He has witnessed much change as the county has grown and prospered. But this continuing growth and prosperity requires commitment, dedication, and guidance, and Carson has given of himself, his skills, and compassion, in many ways. Early on, he led in the creation of the Michaux-St. James Foundation to preserve the St. James Chapel, maintain Michaux Grant Cemetery, and to insure the vitality of the Pineville area community. He has chaired the Deep Meadow Correctional Center Community Advisory Board. For the past eight years he has organized and managed the toys collection for children visiting inmates at Deep Meadow. As a life member and board member of the Powhatan County Historical Society, Carson implemented an archival system to record items placed in the society’s collections. On the planning commission, Carson exercised due diligence in supporting the needs and growth of the community within county regulation requirements. As chair of the Powhatan County Board of Equalization, Carson fairly evaluated requests for reductions or changes to county owners’ properties. When the Virginia State Police proposed the installation of a large rifle range in the county, Carson was in the forefront of citizens protesting the range, both for noise and safety standards. On the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors, Carson Tucker’s knowledge and expertise are vital for good decisions regarding the school system, county services, and community life.

Election could move county forward, get it stuck in mud

Dear Editor, Laurie and I have been lucky enough to call Powhatan home for the last 25 years. We built our last home a few years back, and our next move will be across the street into the cemetery. So we care deeply about Powhatan and the folks who live here. This election coming up has us a bit worried because the outcome could do one of two things – move us forward or get us stuck in the mud, like what’s happening up north in Washington. Over the years we have tried to vote for candidates who think about issues and then decide, not the people overly influenced by party politics. We think that is especially important at the local level and particularly in this election. Powhatan’s future is on the line in November, and we want to do everything we can to make sure we move in a direction that benefits the majority of our residents. They’re our neighbors and they deserve competent, caring representation. That’s why we’re voting for Bill Melton in District 4. He understands the challenges the county faces right now and will make good, thoughtful decisions to move us in the right direction. There are other candidates that we cannot vote for but would if we could, like Carson Tucker, Larry Nordvig and Angie Cabell. These three are also thinking people who will study the issues and make informed, independent decisions. That’s what Powhatan needs right now ,and our sincere hope is that these four will represent us all come November. Dear Editor, Terry and Laurie Paquette As a former resident of Powhatan County, I continue Powhatan County to maintain a keen interest in and observance of its gov-

Forbes, former sheriﬀs give support to Nunnally Contributed Report

owhatan County sheriff candidate Brad Nunnally said he was honored and humbled to receive the encouragement and support of Congressman Randy Forbes this month. Forbes praised Nunnally’s character to be sheriff, saying his devotion to civic responsibility and willingness to serve is well-represented by his time spent working with many community

organizations and law enforcement offices. “Brad’s servant-leader style of leadership, integrity, commitment to fiscal responsibility, and extensive law enforcement experience are incredibly valuable to the communities of Powhatan,” Forbes said. This support bolsters the continued backing and endorsements from two of Powhatan County’s former sheriffs, Lynn Woodcock and Nelson Batterson. Woodcock said he is impressed with

Nunnally’s work and service ethics. “Brad Nunnally’s strong work ethic and dedication to service to all of the people of Powhatan always stood out to me when I was his sheriff. Brad always understood my vision for Powhatan, ‘Together we Can Make a Difference.’ He will be a working sheriff dedicated to serving all of Powhatan’s citizens equally and respectfully,” Woodcock said. Batterson cited Nunnally’s qualifications and leadership and said he sup-

ported his run for sheriff because of “his immense qualifications to fulfill this position. I speak from the perspective of being the former sheriff of Powhatan and understand the leadership skills required for this position. As a constitutional officer it is necessary to not only have the respect of the citizens but to also be respectful of our citizens.” All three men stressed Nunnally’s respect for and dedication to service to the citizens of Powhatan County.

Arrest Continued from page 5A

Sheriff’s Office and the Virginia State Police responded to a home in the 1400 block of Palmore Road on a domestic violence call, DeHart said. The call came in at 1:53 p.m. Officers arrived at the scene and spoke to Chambers and the victim, but Chambers became agitated and went into the house, DeHart said. When law enforcement officers were notified Chambers had a possible military background and a firearm in the house, the county’s Special Response Team was

called and officers surrounded the house, DeHart said. Traffic was also cut off to the street. A state trooper established contact with Chambers, and after about an hour of talking, Chambers willingly exited the house and was arrested, DeHart said. He did not display any firearms. Chambers was arraigned on Wednesday, Oct. 14 in Powhatan County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court on the three charges and given an attorney advisement date of Wednesday, Oct. 28. He is currently being held without bond at Piedmont Regional Jail. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Let’s Rebuild The Junior High School At last week’s School Board meeting, a concerned resident asked point-blank whether the County was going to proceed with the rebuilding of the Junior High School (see Powhatan Today, 9-23-15). I hope the concerned citizen asks the same question of us on the Board of Supervisors. We as a community have known for over a decade that our present Junior High is substandard. School Boards and School Administrations have said so. Our professional school facilities staff has documented its shortcomings. Parents have weighed in. Outside consultants have studied and confirmed. Those of us on the Board of Supervisors who have toured the facility under two Superintendents have witnessed the building’s failings first-hand. The school was built in the early seventies when open classrooms were the educational idea du jour. Open classrooms didn’t work. It was also the time of the OPEC oil crisis, so much of the building is windowless and ceilings are low to save heating costs. These two design features create a gray and depressing learning environment. Add to all this the age of the building and its escalating yearly (monthly?) maintenance and repair costs. These will continue to escalate. It seems the right time to seriously address this poor building. Past Boards of Supervisors have chosen not to address the issue, not because they disagreed with the various assessments, but because of financial constraints and important competing capital projects (such as public safety needs). As a community, we chose to punt and hope to eke out a few more useful years from the building. Now, any major project such as this has to be looked at from three points-of-view. One, what is the legitimate need? Does the project fit into the mission of government? How does it stand in priority to all other needs? Two, what is the community’s ability and willingness to pay? Can we afford it? Three, what constituency is being served? Does this project substantively help us provide quality education to help create mature, educated, capable, successful, and happy residents, citizens, workers?

O B I T UA R I E S

If we dispassionately answer these questions, we will be closer to being able to make a balanced decision on a path forward.

VICKY LACROIX

It is hard to argue against questions 1 and 3. Of course such a project fulfills parts of the core mission of government (#1); and of course we have an obligation and desire to provide a quality education to our young folks (#3). So we’re down to #2: our ability to pay. There’s good news here. The economy is turning. Revenues are up; debt is down. There is an admittedly slow but definite improvement in our financial situation. Retiring bond debt and refinancing other bond debt provides us with the ability to do what we all know needs to be done: rebuild the Junior High. LACROIX

FRANCES TAYLOR Mrs. Frances M. Taylor, 85, of Powhatan passed away on Monday, October 12, 2015, at the Amelia Nursing Home. She is survived by her son, Sylvester B. Woolridge Jr.; three grandchildren, Lynice Mitchell, Alexis Woolridge and devoted, Katina Woolridge; three great-grandchildren, Demetrius Haden, Tishone Williams and Marcel Providence; one sister, Ruby Andrews; one devoted brother-in-law, Geroy Taylor (Linda); and a host of other relatives and friends. Remains rested at Mimms Funeral Home, Midlothian, where the family received friends from 6 to 7 p.m. on Friday, October 16, and where funeral services were held at noon on Saturday, October 17. The Rev. Charles Kirby officiated. Interment in TAYLOR Mt. Calvary Baptist Church Cemetery, Powhatan County.

Our County Administrator and her professional staff (with input from the Superintendent and the schools’ professional staffs) have figured out how to do this project WITHOUT A TAX INCREASE. (Let us not forget that a prime reason for hiring the county administrator was her depth of knowledge and skill in the financial aspects of local government. Our charge to her was to roll up her sleeves and guide us through the Recession and then create an even more robust financial plan for Powhatan. She has delivered.) It is true that such an undertaking is expensive. No one is eager to spend taxpayers’ money. By the same token, most of us don’t want to mortgage kids’ development. If the Board of Supervisors, of which I am part, doesn’t want to bite this bullet, I will propose going to referendum and let the people decide. But I hope, rather, they will elect to say, “Let’s do this.”

Defense stands tall in Homecoming thriller By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

t was fourth-and-seven for the visiting Charlottesville Black Knights, the ball resting on Powhatan’s 12 yard line with under a minute to go in the game on Oct. 16. Backup quarterback Samuel Neale snapped the ball, and rolled to his right. The Powhatan defense did its job, as Neale started to scramble and look for any open receiver. He eventually found Travis Houchens, but Powhatan defender Gabe Satterwhite was right there, jumping on Houchens’ back to bring him to the ground. The officials called for a measurement. The chains tightened and the Black Knights were short. The Homecoming crowd stadium erupted in cheers. Powhatan’s defense had held on for a Homecoming 20-15 win over Charlottesville. “The guys had to dig in. It was a difficult situation,” Indians coach Jim Woodson said. “A lot of those guys were going both ways. They somehow pulled it together and gathered enough energy, will, heart and all of the above to come together and get that one more play.” The sequence of events leading up to the fourth down stand were intricate and, at times, controversial. Powhatan had a 17-0 lead, fueled by two Johnathan Caporale touchdown runs and a Wesley Livermon field goal. Charlottesville (3-4) scored in the third quarter on a Rashad Brach 65-yard touchdown run. Neale, who replaced Rakeem Davis in the second quarter after Davis was hurt, ran it in for a two-point conversion to make it 17-8. Then, in the fourth, Lorenzo Louderback punched it in from 6-yards out to pull the Black Knights within two. On its ensuing drive, Powhatan (34) went three-and-out, but the punt was muffed by Charlottesville and Julius Edwards recovered for the Indians.

Johnathan Capole (38) was a two-way difference maker for the Indians on Oct. 16. He had 20 rushes for 79 yards and two touchdowns on offense and was a key contributor on defense as well, knocking a would-be touchdown pass out of the air on a crucial third down play when Charlottesville was on the doorstep of the end zone late in the game.

Deep in Charlottesville territory after a facemask call on Charlottesville, Edwards himself fumbled and the Black Knights recovered. The Indians argued that Edwards was down, but the fumble stood. Charlottesville took over, but shot themselves in the foot repeatedly, including a bad pitch from Neale to Louderback, an issue that was present most

of the game after Neale came in. Lamont Henderson sacked Neale on third down to end the threat and set up Powhatan’s final scoring drive. Jacob Oglesby came in at quarterback and ran the ball three out of the next four plays for the Indians and put them in the red zone. He hit Satterwhite in the end zone on third down, and Satterwhite appeared to get his foot

down, but the referees disagreed. A false start on a fourth-and-six attempt forced a field goal try from Livermon, which was good. As the Black Knights drove, the Indians defense stiffened up. Caporale made a heads up play on the Black Knights third down deep in Powhatan see DEFENSE page 2A

C&F BANK’S ATHLETE of the WEEK VOLLEYBALL ALL-STARS WHO: Brie Burgio and Danielle Bigham WHAT THEY DID: Junior forward

206699-01

Brie Burgio had a stellar week for the Powhatan Indians field hockey team. She scored two goals in the Indians 3-0 win

over Orange on Oct. 8. She followed that up with one goal against Conference 20 opponent Monacan on Oct. 9, also a 3-0 final. Freshman forward Danielle Bigham recorded a hat trick in an 8-0 rout of Louisa on Oct. 12. Powhatan’s field hockey team is having what Burgio described as “the best season in Powhatan field hockey

history.” The offense has been aggressive, with Burgio a main part of their attack. The defense has been solid all season as well. With just a handful of games left before the season ends, Burgio, Bigham and the Indians have the postseason in sight.

Powhatan ﬁeld hockey hits historic mark By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

A new bar has been set by Powhatan field hockey. On Oct. 15, the Indians showed up aggressive, hungry and ready to score against Monticello, a team with which Powhatan battled in overtime before securing a one-goal win. The game Thursday against the Mustangs was a 2-0 tilt in favor of Powhatan, earning the club its 10th win of the season. “That’s like big time for us,” Powhatan coach Steph Brooks. “The last few years I know we haven’t won more than that. Last year, I think we won seven games. Double-digits, that’s pretty exciting for me.” Once again, the Indians were strong out of the gate, scoring on the Mustangs

within the first five minutes of the game off the stick of Kayla Hathaway. That pressure continued through much of the first half, with Monticello rarely getting into the Powhatan defensive zone. When the Mustangs did manage to get into the defensive zone, the ball was quickly escorted out by the Powhatan defenders, led by Magen Palmore. “She was awesome on defense,” Brooks said. “She was able to just run it up the middle past everybody.” Powhatan was able to put the ball in front of the goal, mostly off corner attempts, several times throughout the first half, but were unable to come away from the scramble with a goal. That changed just before halftime when Calie Rehme and Danielle Bigham were battling with the Mustangs’ defense right in front of the goal and

Rehme was able to put it in the net. Brooks said she was happy with the win, but said that the team didn’t play as crisply against Monticello as she would have liked. “It was a little sloppy, probably not our best game ever,” she said. “Some people stepped up that don’t usually step up for us. Danielle (Bigham) came in and gave us good minutes. Kayla Hathaway took a lot of great shots. She just seems to be getting better as the season has gone on. It was not my favorite game because we didn’t as well as I think we should be playing this time of year, but we got the win.” The future continues to look bright for the field hockey program, as the 10 win season is another milestone for Brooks and her club. She said that going forward, she hopes to establish a JV team at Powhatan, which she admitted is

not a well-known area for field hockey. “We had a lot of girls come to tryouts this year. We had to cut a lot of people, which I hated,” she said. “We got some girls that are super athletic. I just hope the more they play, field hockey will just come because they are super athletic. We did a camp this past summer, really just trying to raise awareness. There are no leagues in Powhatan, and you don’t really play until you come to high school. I think the word is starting to get around that this is a fun team and a great group of girls.” Powhatan has an away game at L.C. Bird and two home matches against Albemarle and Louisa left before the post season. Billy Fellin may be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.

Running helps Ransone keep even keel By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

unning is a cathartic exercise for many. It clears the head, allows one to compete in a battle over fatigue. “It’s a treat being a runner, out in the world by yourself with not a soul to make you bad-tempered or tell you what to do,” Alan Sillitoe said about running. All of that applies to Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Anna Ransone. Ransone, a senior member of three different athletic teams at BSH, said that running is how she keeps everything in check in her life. Going on a run, for her, is incredibly important. “Running is my main stress reliever,” she said. In the fall, Ransone is one of three captains for the volleyball team. She’s the setter, which means that her role is to put the ball in prime position for the hitters to swing freely for kills on the defense. But, she said that she and the other captains also have a more important role on the floor. “Not only my job, but (other captains Liza Moore and Ann Marie Kemp) jobs as well, is to keep the team up,” she said. “Even if we are winning, we have to keep the team up, and keep the energy up. We always want to be talking and try to get a good attitude within the team.” Ransone started playing volleyball when she was in sixth grade, advanced to the JV team her ninth grade year and then moved up to varsity and has been playing on the top Knights team ever since. This season, she has accumulated 119 assists, 38 aces, and 11 kills for the squad.

territory, covering ground to break up a pass that would have been a touchdown for Charlottesville, setting up Satterwhite’s fourth down heroics. “(Caporale) did a nice job for us. He had ran some in the past for us,” Woodson said. “He did an excellent job. He picked up some big first downs for us. It was a battle of will out there. “ The Black Knights’ “flexbone” of-

She also swims in the winter for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, and gets to play her main sport, tennis, in the spring. “Tennis is my favorite because I’ve been playing it the longest,” she said. “I also play summer league for tennis. I have a passion for tennis.” But, Ransone said that skills sets for one sport translate to the other two. And her running, of course, pays dividends across the board. “We have (volleyball) practice every day from 3:30-5, sometimes after,” she said. “When I get home, I run. That helps me with my agility for volleyball. With tennis and swimming, you have to have a positive attitude. Running helps with all three sports, so agility is important as well.” Ransone said that she is “really competitive,” so while volleyball is not the sport she has a “passion” for, she wants to win every time she steps on the court. Off the court is just as busy for Ransone as on the court chasing down kill attempts and setting up for a BSH kill can be. She said she is in the Drama Club, Science Club, National Honor Society, the National Spanish Honor Society (her “favorite”) as well as SGA. She also said she is a finalist for the Lexus of Richmond Scholarship. What school might she use that scholarship toward attending? “I want to go to UVA, that’s my dream, for the nursing school,” she said. “I’m also looking at Tennessee’s nursing school, JMU, Longwood nursing, Clemson, South Carolina.” The common theme among all of those is nursing, a passion that Ransone said she’s had since she was growing up. She wants to focus specifically on pedi-

fense, similar to the option or wildcat offense was effective, but also prone to mistakes after Neale replaced Davis. The Indians recovered two fumbles. “(Their offense) was a real test for our defense,” Woodson said. “It’s assignment football. Everybody has to take a certain part. We were very disciplined and hats off to Coach Henderson, our defensive coordinator, had a tremendous game plan. The guys did a hell of a job executing. I’m really proud of them.” Powhatan’s win could not have come at a better time. In addition to be-

atrics, and volunteers at a local hospital. “I’ve been volunteering at St. Francis Hospital in the emergency department, so that’s really exposed me to healthcare and exposed me to the nurses,” she said. “They provide compassion, and that’s what I want to do.” The Knights are 6-5 this season and will look to make waves in the VCC tournament. While her time as a member of the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot volleyball team is in its final season, Ransone said that she still has one goal

ing Homecoming, Powhatan had lost two in a row, so getting back on the winning track is huge for the team that has been ravaged by injuries. “It’s going to be helpful. Especially the way we won it,” Woodson said. “It wasn’t one guy that stood out. It was a bunch of guys just playing their hearts out. Everyone made contributions.” The Indians head to Albemarle on Oct. 23 for their next contest. Billy Fellin may be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.

left to complete. “I think we’ve accomplished a lot of goals already, because we’ve won more games this year than in years past,” she said. “But, my goal would be to win against Kenston Forest on senior night. We lost against them at Kenston and I know we can beat them and I really want to beat them on senior night, since it’s my last chance to.” Billy Fellin may be reached at wfellin@ powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @ BillyFellin.

Indians ﬁre on all cylinders for Think Pink game By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

October is breast cancer awareness month, with pink everything being showcased around athletics to raise awareness for the disease. The Powhatan girls volleyball was not omitted from the teams showing support for the cause, as they went all out with pink uniforms, custom designed t-shirts that the athletic department wore, pink balloons and a pink student section. Even the volleyball and some of the Gatorades the players were drinking were pink. “We designed the shirts everyone is wearing tonight,” volleyball coach Amber Ortolano said. “I think it really motivates them. We had a large, large crowd here to-

night, larger than we’re used to. So, I think that also helps fuel the fire.” That fire was raging from the start for the Indians, as they took Monticello down in three sets, 25-15, 25-8, 25-19. Powhatan jumped out on a 5-0 run to start the first set, and Julia Goodman was responsible for most of those first five points. She was a force on the outside that the Mustangs didn’t have an answer for. She had 13 kills on the night, and was a welcome return to the Indians lineup after battling shin splints. “She got going early,” Ortolano said. “We were on the road the past two games and I could only play her for one set and then have to take her off because of the shin splints. I think she’s coming out rejuvenated and ready to roll.”

Julia Goodman came out on fire for the Indians offense. Coming back rejuvinated from a bout with shin splints, Goodman was a force on the outside for Powhatan and the Mustangs had no answers. Goodman finished the match with 13 kills.

Abby Nee added six digs, five aces and four kills, while Kelli Nee had 26 assists, four kills and two aces. The whole team seemed to be running on all cylinders against Monticello, rolling out to a big lead in set two, which included a 10-1 run at one point. The Mustangs made some moves in set three, leading by four points at one point in time, but the Indians were able to rally and get the momentum back on their side and take the three-set win. Thursday’s win was a big response to being swept in three sets against Western Albemarle on Oct. 13. The loss broke a three-game winning streak after the Indians dropped a game against Albemarle on Oct. 1. “They did a great job tonight, especially after the loss to Western,” Ortolano said. “It was a hard loss. But, they learned their lesson and came back and fought hard tonight. I mean, earlier in the season Monti-

In the second frame, the Vikings seemed to find their footing. Tanner Dobrucky was able to score early in the quarter with a phenomenal run, but it was called back due to a hold. The Vikings were able to capitalize with a six play, 75-yard touchdown drive that ended in a successful two-point conversion. Midway through the quarter, the score was now 17-8. Almost immediately following the Vikings’ score, Dobrucky was able to score again on a long run, but again it was called back because of a hold.

Our serve-receive tonight was awesome and we had a lot of hits for kills. ” Four games remain on the Indians’ schedule, including a rematch with Albemarle, before the conference tournament begins and the team knows that there isn’t any ground to be given once the playoffs begin. “I told them it’s getting to the end of the season and their mentality needs to be how that they need to start a game and they need to know how to finish strong,” Ortolano said. “There’s going to be more teams like Western, we’re going to see Albemarle again. And, once we get into conference play, there’s going to be teams that aren’t going to let us go point-for-point with them. They’re going to get a lead and go with it.” Billy Fellin may be reached at wfellin@ powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @ BillyFellin.

half, the Knights needed to answer to reclaim momentum. They did just that, this time with a touchdown in the form of a screen pass from Noah Dowdy to Tanner Dobrucky. The Knights took a 24-14 lead into halftime. The second half was all BSH. After a few drives back and forth, Noah Dowdy was able to make his way into the end zone on a quarterback keeper midway through the third quarter. The next four BSH drives were all scores, including two more Dobrucky touchdown runs. When all was said and done, the Knights had turned a 24-14 lead at halftime into a 55-14 victory. When asked about the stark difference between the first and second half, Coach Ron Gundry pointed to the increased focus

of the Knights after halftime. He alluded to the excitement because of Homecoming serving as somewhat of a distraction during the first half, but was happy with how his team settled down in the second half. Coach Gundry was also pleased with how his team, especially quarterback Noah Dowdy, seemed to be grasping the option-style offense and making better decisions. The offense was obviously a factor in the Knights’ homecoming rout of the Vikings. However, standout defensive performances by David Hall, Matt Schiefer, Colby Johnson, Tanner Dobrucky, Christian Strauss, and Jacob Dowdy proved key in the victory. BSH (3-3) will look to carry their new found momentum to Isle of Wight Academy next week for a bitter rivalry game against the Chargers.

Optical scanners biggest change for election By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – The 2015 general election has been an experience in highs and lows for Powhatan County. A diverse field of 35 candidates are vying for the 19 state and local races that will be on the ballot on Nov. 3, the most the county has seen in a general election in recent years, Karen Alexander, director of elections, said. Of those 19 races, 10 of them have two or more people running for office and some as many as four candidates, she said. Given those kind of numbers, Alexander said she is surprised interest from voters hasn’t been higher and hopes it will pick up before Election Day. Since absentee voting began on Sept. 18, the county has only had 66 people cast an absentee vote in person and another 67 request absentee ballots, she said. “That is much less than we expected at this point. It has been slow,” she said. Based on past elections, voter turnout in Powhatan County is expected to be between 50 and 60 percent, although it would be good if it was higher because of all the candidates, she said. Numbers notwithstanding, Alexander said the election ahead is set to run smoothly and that her office is working to make it as easy as possible for voters. The biggest change for

Optical scanners, like the one used at Powhatan Community Church in the Feb. 10 special election, will now be used at all Powhatan polling stations. Voters will fill out a paper ballot and feed it into the optical scanner to be counted. many people in this election will be the use of paper ballots and optical scanners at all voting precincts, she said. A decision by the State Board of Elections in April to ban the use of WINVote touchscreen voting machines across Virginia meant that Powhatan County was forced to replace the majority of its equipment. The decision meant that 45 touch screen voting machines used by Powhatan County in 10 out of its 13 voting precincts were no longer usable and had to be replaced in time for the June 9 primary, she said. The democratic primary was a trial run for the coun-

ty with the new machines, although several of the precincts had been using them for years, she said. The experience went smoothly. The paper ballots are expected to make the process run quicker because people can take their time filling out their ballots without feeling rushed since they are not taking up a machine, she said. “There are going to be multiple people voting on paper ballots at once. We are hoping the process is going to run smoother and cut down on waiting in line,” she said. While there are plenty of candidates to choose from,

people always have the writein option, she said. However, people wishing to do this need to mark the oval next to the name they wrote in if they want it to count. One great feature of the paper ballots is that if people mess up, they can request another up until the moment it is fed into the scanner, Alexander said. “But once you slide it in the scanner, it counts, whether it is a mess up or not. So it is important to let a poll worker know if you goof up as soon as possible,” she said. Every precinct also has special ADA accessible machines

for sight impaired individuals who want to vote without help, she said. Thus far, the requirement that people have a photo ID to vote has not been a problem in Powhatan, Alexander said. However, she is still able to issue IDs for people who don’t have a photo ID. People who need one can come to the voter registrar’s office in the Village Building, 3910 Old Buckingham Road. Because of the date, the weather can sometimes be a consideration on Election Day, Alexander said. The polling stations will be open regardless of wind, rain, snow or hail.

Absentee voting will also be open two Saturdays, Oct. 24 and 31, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The first Saturday coincides with the Festival of the Grape, but parking spots at the Village Building have been reserved for voters. “Voters could have a difficult time getting to our office because streets are blocked for the wine festival,” she said. “Anyone needing to vote needs to let the officers know they are allowed to enter because they are here to vote.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Acceptable forms of photo ID include: Valid Virginia driver’s license DMV-issued photo identification card Valid United States passport Valid employee photo identification card Other government-issued photo identification card Valid college, university or high school student photo identification card (issuer must be a recognized institution of education located in Virginia)

Each voter in Powhatan County will be given a paper ballot on which to cast their votes. Each of the 10 offices to be voted on will be listed on the front of one 8 ½ X 11 paper ballot. Each of the five voting districts will have individualized ballots. You will need to completely fill in the oval beside the candidate(s) you are voting for (do not “√” or “x” through the oval). You do not have to vote in every race if you do not want to. If you make a mistake, ask the nearest poll worker to get you another ballot before you cast the incorrect ballot. Once you place your ballot into the optical scanner machine, the vote is officially cast and cannot be repealed.

Call the Powhatan County registrar’s office at 804-598-5604 as soon as possible if you have questions about your registration status, polling precinct location, or Voter ID Law requirements. The busiest time for voting is first thing in the morning between 6 and 9 a.m. If at all possible, avoid voting during these times. If you must vote during that time, anticipate a potential wait in line and bring your patience with you to the polls.

What if I do not understand how to vote? You are entitled to a demonstration of the voting equipment. There is a demonstration officer at your polling place who is there to help you with the machines. Feel free to ask him or her for assistance.

Can my child watch me vote? Your minor child, 15 years or younger, may go with you into the voting booth.

Do I have to vote for every question on the ballot? No, you do not have to vote for every question on the ballot.

Your vote for the school board member will still be counted.

You may request an “audio ballot.” You will be given a set of headphones and the ballot will be read aloud to you. Audio ballots are available at all polling places. If you are blind, you may have anyone assist you with your ballot. If you are not blind but need assistance with your ballot, you may have anyone assist you EXCEPT your employer or union representative.

What if I make a mistake on my ballot? If you made a mistake on your ballot, you must change your vote BEFORE your ballot is cast. If you are using a paper ballot and have not placed your ballot in an official ballot container, ask an election official to void your spoiled ballot and for a new ballot. Once your ballot is cast, it CANNOT be changed, even if you made a mistake.

What if I have a disability or Is it possible to over vote? mobility issue? Yes. An overvote occurs when you All elections are required to be accessible to persons with disabilities. This includes accessibility to the polling place and devices to make the voting machine accessible. You may want to consider voting absentee by mail or in person before election day to avoid standing in lines. If you have a disability, you can help assure your right to vote by contacting your registrar before Election Day to discuss your particular needs. Anyone who assists you in voting must do so according to your instructions, without trying to influence your vote. Your assistant is strictly prohibited from in any way telling others how you voted. You may vote from your car. All polling places are required to offer “curbside voting” to anyone who has a physical disability or is 65 years or older. You may need to send someone inside the polling place to request curbside voting unless your precinct has a lookout or other mechanism in place to alert the officers

cast more votes than are allowed for the office or issue. For example, if you vote for two people for sheriff instead of one, neither vote will count. However, if you are allowed to vote for two soil and water conservation directors, and you vote for two people, that is not an over vote. Read over your ballot carefully to ensure you do not over vote. An optical scanner will reject your ballot if you over vote, and an election official will offer you a new paper ballot.

Is my vote secure?

A voting machine can only record your vote, not your name or any identifying features. No one can tell how you voted based on your submitted ballot.

2015 ELECTION GUIDE

Research candidates for upcoming elections Presidential elections may grab the national headlines, but local elections also have a big impact on voters’ daily lives. Locally elected officials are typically much more accessible to voters, whose participation in local elections can bring about real change. With that in mind, here are some tips to prepare for Election Day, whether you are selecting state, county, town, provincial, labor union, or school officials. Solidify your stance. The first step to casting your vote is deciding how you feel about key issues and candidates. Some voters back a particular political party, while others spend more time moving across party lines and standing with politicians who have like-minded goals and ideas. Make a list of the issues that you find most important and want addressed in this election. Then research the stance each candidate takes on the issues that most resonate with you. Research the candidates. Conduct some preliminary research into each candidate running for office. Chances are

their websites provide background information regarding their qualifications as well as their stances on certain issues. Many times newspapers will offer their own round-up on local candidates so you can get to know them further. Such information can save you the time and effort of looking into candidates on your own. Delve further when needed to see if the facts are correct. Examine public records for policies candidates supported to confirm if their ideals are similar to your own. Ignore the polls. If you strongly support a candidate and his or her agenda, then stick with your preferences rather than relying on the polls. Polls may be used to sway indecisive voters. However, even though the polls may be indicating one thing, the real test of a candidate’s mettle is the end result come Election Day. Attend a town hall meeting. Many local candidates interact with voters at informal town hall meetings. This is a great chance to assess a candidate, and provides voters

Prepare now for Election Day Elections decide the leadership that guides legislation and enforcement of regulations. The right to vote is something many people take for granted, but elsewhere in the world many people have no say with regard to their political leaders, which only emphasizes the importance of participating in the election process whenever you’re afforded the opportunity to do so. The first step to prepare for Election Day is to confirm your eligibility. Age, legal residency

and citizenship status are just a few of the factors that may affect your eligibility to vote. County clerks, municipal offices as well as the Division of Motor Vehicles should have voter registration forms, and additional information is available online. Canadians can register or check voter registration status at www.elections.ca. Voter registration may have to be filed several weeks to a month in advance of Election Day in order for you to be eligible. In the United

A Special Supplement of Powhatan Today October 21, 2015

States, when voter eligibility is in question at the time of an election, a person typically may cast a provisional vote, which will then be considered after other ballots are counted. Once your eligibility has been verified, it is important to know the dates of key elections. Local newspapers often print schedules and this information can be found online as well. Various local and federal elections occur each year, and November is when national elections

take place in the United States. Before voting, voters should research the respective candidates for each election. To better understand candidates’ platforms, visit their websites as well as those of nonpartisan political organizations, such as The League of Women Voters. Deciding who to vote for requires more than just siding with a particular political party.

Newspapers remain a valuable resource Newspapers have been in circulation for centuries. Ancient Romans produced government announcements and posted them in prominent locations around the city. In ancient China, news sheets were circulated among court officials to share government news. However, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until use of the printing press became widespread that the new media of newsprint became available to the general public. The 17th century was the first time much of Europe and other areas around the world began to produce something similar to what we now know as newspapers. Nowadays, many newspapers are still being Paid Political Advertisement

printed on a daily or weekly basis, but publishers also understand the benefits of digital content. That is why newspapers are now supplementing their print copy with digital and interactive versions online. Should a person desire to read a printed version, he or she can do so. Others can access content online, which is typically updated regularly as newsworthy items become available. Newspapers have frequently been the first source people turn to for information on various subjects, including current events and sports. Even now, despite the prevalence of television news, people still look to the newspapers for

in-depth coverage of hot topics. Additionally, some newspaper content is mirrored online or offered in some other complementary form. For example, fans of comics in the newspaper may not realize theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a major source of syndication revenue. In an effort to snag a bigger chunk of key demographics, comics not only are being run in the newspaper, but also are being adapted into â&#x20AC;&#x153;appsâ&#x20AC;? that can be viewed on tablets, computers and smartphones to further their visibility. The Internet may be creating a dramatic shift in the business model and the products offered by newspapers, but that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a bad

thing, presenting new opportunities for newspapers to expand on their offerings in unique ways. Many papers now enable readers to express their comments about news stories online, which fosters a global discussion that can bring people from various parts of the world together. Newspapers also are shifting the mix of stories they offer to provide a stronger balance of entertainment, lifestyle and other subjects that are more relevant to peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily lives than politics and international affairs may be.

Our county is growing and needs a proven leader: • 20 years Ukrop's, Corporate office • Ukrop’s Procurement/Buying Department, annual sales; $500-600 million

What I’ve Given … What my opponent offers

• Developed & managed budgets in excess of $100 million annually • 30 years of Customer Service

A Proven Manager:

More with Less:

Someone who can do more with less • Balanced weekly budget • Negotiated with vendors and brokers • Planned, purchased, and set Ad pricing for Ukrop's • Generated, invoiced, and collected fees • Inventory accountability

• We don’t need to raise fees to add staffing. We need to be more effective and efficient with the staffing we have. In every role I’ve had over the past 30 years , I have leveraged technology to improve services and lower costs. I will do the same if elected as Clerk. My current role as Accounting Manager, I have reorganized, improved, and transformed my current position from two full time positions into one.
