Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center to close doors in 2017 News Editor

P

OWHATAN – Powhatan County is likely to lose its second prison in three years if plans to close Beaumont Juvenile Correction Center in 2017 move forward, leading to the relocation of its young offender population and the question of what to do with the facility’s 383 employees, elected officials confirmed Friday, Feb. 26.

Del. Lee Ware, R-65, said the news about the facility in northern Powhatan County closing was confirmed this week by Andrew K. Block Jr., director of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), af-

ter the release of the proposed budget for 2016-2018 by the State Senate.

Beaumont currently employees 383 employees, including 23 Powhatan residents, Ware said. He added that Block told him he expects a minimum of at least 200 employees will have placement opportunities with DJJ and the rest will have opportunities with other correctional departments.

In October 2014, it was announced that the Powhatan Main Correctional Center would close by the end of the year as part of Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s efforts to meet an $882 million shortfall in the state’s budget. At the time of the announcement, prison officials said they expected to close 329 positions.

However, by the time the main center closed on Dec. 9, 2014, through retirements and placements, the Virginia Department of Corrections only needed to lay off four Powhatan Correctional Center employees.

Consolidating two facilities Ware said Block explained to him that DJJ’s plan is to consolidate Beaumont into the Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Center in Chesterfield County over the next 12 to 18 months, which will allow the state to minimize job loss. see BEAUMONT page 9A

OWHATAN – The story of historic Belmead on the James in Powhatan County is a complicated one.

For almost 30 years from 1838 to 1865, the home and the land that surrounded it played a huge role in the subjugation of at least 127 enslaved black men, women and children.

But fast forward another three dePHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND cades and it is transformed into a place of empowerment where Ryan Heathcock moderated a Black black boys and girls could go to re- History Month event at Belmead on ceive an education and possibly a ca- the James that looked at the historic reer that would serve them the rest of property’s past and future. their lives. Between 1895 and 1972, St. Emma’s School for boys and St. Francis de Sales school for girls educated more than 10,000 students.

Today, the house and land have become a place where nature and history are uplifted, as they were during a Black History Month program held on Wednesday, Feb. 24 on the historic property.

The event was all about spreading knowledge of Belmead to people who aren’t familiar with its history and challenging them to see the importance of keeping and preserving history while looking to the future with hope and optimism, Sister Maureen Carroll, executive director of FrancisEmma Inc., said.

“People always love the story of Belmead. And it is unique. There is no place else that has this story,” she said.

About 30 people attended the event, which included an introduction by Ryan Heathcock, owner of Once Upon a Time. A few years ago, he created a “FrancisEmma: A Sustainable Future Built on a Storied Past,” a short documentary to highlight Belmead’s history and help fundraise for a new roof.

The documentary created by Once Upon a Time is called “FrancisEmma: A Sustainable Future Built on a Storied Past.” It can be found at https://vimeo. com/44733342 or by searching for the title on YouTube.

There were also three panelists who were invited to answer questions posed to them by Heathcock and the participants who attended. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, Kim Hymel, school board District5 representative, an John Rothert, president of the Powhatan Historical Society, were the panelists.

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors got its first look at the proposed fiscal year 2017 budget for the county last week, and county administrator Pat Weiler warned them from the beginning it wouldn’t meet all of their criteria.

During the board’s meeting on Monday, Feb. 22, Weiler presented the supervisors with the first draft they had seen of a total proposed FY 2017 County Operating Budget that is almost $56.8 million.

At the start of her presentation, Weiler made it clear how difficult it was to try to meet the board’s requests for increased spending balanced with a reduction in income.

“I find it conflicting the direction on reducing the taxes and then the things that the board wanted to fund. It made for a very challenging budget process for the staff,” Weiler said.

She gave the board an overview of what those guidelines were before actually crunching the numbers so the supervisors and the public would know see BOARD page 9A

Team lays out path to economic development

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Powhatan County recently got a good look at the strengths and weaknesses that will help or hurt its efforts for economic development and the immediate and future steps it can take to achieve its goals toward that end.

During its workshop on Monday, Feb. 22, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors heard a presentation from a team of people who have been working on an economic development plan for the county that covered what the group found and how the county can use that information to move forward.

Faith McClintic, principal for Spectrum Growth Solutions; Kathy Beard, project manager/tourism lead and president of CE&O Economic Development Services, and Spencer Francis, regional manager with Bowman Consulting Group, took turns addressing different aspects of the study and its findings during the workshop.

Spectrum signed a contract with the county in February 2015 for $45,000 to pay for a team of people to work on the project. Dominion Power awarded Powhatan a grant for $25,000 to be used for the economic development plan process.

McClintic said she hoped that after almost 12 months of evaluating Powhat-

an through research, comparisons and interviews with citizens, businesses, developers, public officials and county staff, the team was giving the county a road map to opportunities for economic development.

“I think you’ve got some really solid takeaways from this that you can use and implement to make Powhatan an even greater place than it is today,” she said.

Board chair Bill Melton, who represents District 4, thanked Dominion Power and the economic development team see TEAM page 3A

Carson Tucker and county administrator Pat Weiler also attended the event.

Heathcock said he saw last week’s event as a way to bring together the community of Powhatan to let them know there is a tremendous story at Belmead in its past, present and future.

“It was awe inspiring to know that people cared enough about the education of people of color back in a time period where there was Jim Crow segregation and, just a county away, public schools had shut down because they did not want to educate people of color,” he said. “It was just an enormous responsibility and I felt I was a caretaker of sorts in conveying the story to a new generation who would hear about the story for the first time.”

But as important as the history of Belmead is, a big focus of the event was on topics such as how to promote the property and what it offers; how to make teaching this local history more of a priority in the district’s public schools; how to influence the at-risk youth who seem to be on a path to jail or are already there, and how to use the location to positively impact people, especially ones who are at

risk.

Jones talked about the possibility of Powhatan students taking field trips to Belmead to learn about its history, which is Powhatan County history. He said every student who hasn’t seen Belmead should visit and tour both the grounds and the house to learn its history.

“If our students don’t know what is happening in their backyards that is probably where we should start,” he said. “So I do see an opportunity to expand that and bring some more students here.”

There are so many lessons that can be taught about cooperation and overcoming obstacles and a facilitation of a community coming together that are important for students to learn, Jones said.

Belmead is a living example of all of those, he added.

“When you can walk through the museum and see some of the pictures and you can realize the impact that this organization and this facility has had on generations of people and this community for generations, that makes it worthwhile and that makes it valuable and that makes it something that we need to devote ourselves to creating a legacy and remembering that,” Jones said.

Learning becomes more real for students

and of the school, Rothert said.

“We continue today the legacy that she began where she wanted to create a school for people who couldn’t go to good schools, because that’s the way it was in America,” he said. “She wanted to educate people so that the process of racial assimilation could begin. It took too long to happen, and it’s not finished yet, but she got a good start on it right here at this very, very historic place.”

When people think about what they can do to continue Drexel’s legacy and the legacy of Belmead, they have to remember the history of it, Rothert said.

“The history of Powhatan County of this place is the most special history in Powhatan County, and it is the most important racial connector in Powhatan County – what went on right here,” Rothert said.

Preserving that history is not only a matter of researching the people who once lived or visited Belmead but in preserving the house itself, Carroll said. The documentary that Heathcock created was aimed at helping raise funds to fix the roof, and it worked.

The roof was completed in December 2015 and the last payment on the almost $800,000 project will be made next month, Carroll said with glee. But the work doesn’t end, she said. Next is the windows, paint, stucco and an ongoing list that comes with big old homes.

The main hurdle to these projects is simply not having the money to do them, she said. Carroll said the sisters have raised an amazing amount of money in the last 10 years “and we spent it all on the kinds of improvements.”

“We need help. We need strong help. We need strong support. We need commitment to the mission and we need commitment to actual pony up,” she said.

Death considered suspicious probably unattended

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN - What was initially believed to be a suspicious death this weekend on Ridge Road now looks more like an unattended natural death after investigators with the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office had a better chance to examine the evidence.

On Sunday, Feb. 28, deputies were called to the scene of what was being considered a suspicious death in the

for their work and support. He said he is looking forward to the community rollout that McClintic mentioned would happen in March.

David Williams, who represents District 1, echoed that appreciation for the economic development team’s work and said there is a great deal of good in information in the study they produced that can be acted on by the board and county administration.

“I hope we are going to be able to get started on it right away because there are some really good things in here that I think is going to be beneficial for the county.

Strengths The Powhatan community has many strengths to be proud of, such as the availability of vacant land; excellent natural assets and recreational opportunities with the two rivers that border it and Powhatan State Park; good schools; proximity to the nearby Richmond metro area; steady population growth, and low crime Faith McClintic rates, McClintic.

Other strengths included having a visually appealing community; lovely neighborhoods; an average median workforce age that is fairly young; an active and involved chamber of commerce; a major roadway like Anderson Highway that traverses the county and provides good access to Route 288; a strong sense of community and family-oriented atmosphere, and limited, but unique, tourism assets.

“We’d like to help you find a way to make some money from those tourism assets,” she said.

Powhatan also has fairly well-educated and experienced residents; favorable land use taxation policies; notable existing businesses that offer some diversity, and two power providers, she said.

Not having a Professional Occupational License (BPOL) tax is definitely one of the county’s trademarks and something they should promote widely, McClintic continued.

Challenges Powhatan has several challenges but some of those have the chance to become opportunities for the county, McClintic said.

The county doesn’t have direct interstate access “but the route to get there is pretty and pretty easy,” she said. The county has a great development staff that

is not solutions-oriented and allows politics to hinder broad-based decisions, neither of which are unique to Powhatan, she added.

The county also has a lack of consistency in the application of rules and regulations; a level of services that is weak compared to the cost of taxes; proffers that are too high; lack of incentives; land that is more costly than other localities; utility constraints (water/wastewater/gas); real estate taxes higher than many other localities; and an arduous planning and zoning processes that can take 12 months or more.

Not having options for fast-track or expedited permitting processes is something that can be turned around by county leaders and staff working together and have a big impact, she said.

“That sometimes can be one of the biggest differentiating factors for someone making a decision. It’s about how quickly can we become operational,” McClintic said. “So the quicker you can do that, that may be the one thing you can offer. There aren’t cold hard cash dollars associated to doing an expedited permitting processes; it’s not like having to come up with money to fund a grant for a business.”

One of Powhatan’s biggest challenges, and one that is common in rural communities, is lack of broadband, she said.

“Whether it is a small business or a farm operation, broadband is actually very key to every single industry sector nowadays,” she said.

Powhatan needs strong revenue sources such as a meals and lodging tax, which is the only revenue stream not born solely by county residents; small business assistance and help for entrepreneurs; more retail and shopping options; more job opportunities to keep residents in the county during the day; lodging options for tourists and visitors; more options for affordable housing, and an industry or business visitation program.

warrant, Nunnally said. The search warrant came in around 11 p.m.

After examining the man’s home, investigators now believe his death will be ruled a natural, unattended death, according to Anne Reynolds, the department’s crime analyst.

However, the man’s body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, which is responsible for determining cause of death and if it was natural or not, Nunnally said late Sunday night.

Mixed-use developments with multifamily housing would help to address affordable housing concerns, she said. Senior housing and assisted living facilities are becoming a way of life for many.

The county could also make improvements to signage on its roads; create bike trail networks and leverage Powhatan State Park as an asset.

Threats The county does have situations that threaten its economic development potential and overall financial wellbeing, McClintic said.

Leaders and staff need to be aware of the continued imbalance of existing tax base leading to a reduction of county services and diminishing revenues; the loss of current companies to neighbors such as Amelia and Cumberland counties, which offer incentives and/or have access to tobacco funds; the aging population decreasing taking people out of the workforce, and limited entertainment options that could potentially entice younger people to the area and possibly into the future workforce.

The county should also be aware of continued retail leakage because people are going elsewhere to buy what they can’t get in Powhatan; the loss of farm and agricultural land to housing, and neighboring counties becoming more aggressive and/or mobilizing economic development efforts, she said.

Goals and objectives Kathy Beard laid out four goals the economic development team identified and objectives to help the county achieve them.

The first goal is to provide guidance

and leadership that provides for a healthy balance of commercial, industrial, and residential growth within the county, she said.

Objectives for this goal include cultivating positive relationships with government agencies, education partners, workforce development organizations, Powhatan Chamber of Commerce, local developers, real estate professionals, and key stakeholders who support the county’s economic development efforts.

It also suggests promoting Powhatan as an attractive business location through corresponding development and taxation policies.

The second goal is to develop and support programs, processes and activities that encourage the expansion and location of sustainable businesses in the county, she said.

Objectives include identifying and implementing ways to streamline and improve the county’s development review policies and procedures; providing staff assistance to guide businesses through county development processes and establishing a formal Business Visitation Program that considers staff resources, potential volunteers and/or outsourcing.

The third goal is to encourage the development of quality “product” and associated infrastructure that is attractive to business and industry, Beard said.

Objectives include creating and promoting programs and incentives to stimulate new development activities; exploring partnerships and sharing of infrastructure costs with area developers, and engaging fiber and telecommunication service providers to define see TEAM page 4A

Congratulations to our 2015 Top Producers

Opportunities The economic development team recommended that Powhatan make adjustments to some of its business-related tax structure and modifications to land use provisions; revise policy and processes to better facilitate development activities being done more quickly; have a form-based code that predefines guidelines and expectations of structures and properties in certain areas, and create technology zones and tourism zones that set ahead of time what the county can offer to a business operation in a defined geographic boundary, McClintic said.

The county could explore partnerships with other agencies such as Virginia State University, especially to build up its agricultural base; develop farming “incubator”; create a food hub and virtual hubs, and create and promote food-related festivals and farm to table events that can become revenue streams.

strategies that have been developed.

The strategies range in how quickly they can be implemented, starting with a quick fix, which is achievable in six months or less. The other strategies are Phase 1, achievable within six to 12 months; Phase 2, achievable within one to two years, and Phase 3, where the strategy can or should be implemented within two to five years.

“Of course we know that some of them are going to take some additional resources or board action, so we tried to define that for you as well,” McClintic said. “But certainly as you saw in the report itself, there are a tremendous number of opportunities for you all here for increasing and further diversifying your business sectors here, especially those pertinent to technology related and light manufacturing operations.”

Some of the strategies the team suggested for economic development were: Have staff target businesses in technology and light manufacturing industries by emphasizing the fact that Powhatan doesn’t have a BPOL tax, offering accelerated depreciation schedules for computer equipment, and establishing technology zones through policy changes with incentives for new businesses. Those technology zones and modifying the county’s tax structure can also help attract new companies in the manufacturing sector, particularly food and beverage producers that could complement potential growth in the county’s agribusiness industry.

More aggressively pursue activities associated with the recreational industry.

Have a staff member either on staff or contracted with the county who can coordinate essential functions of the county’s economic development

program.

Create and maintain an independent data-rich economic development website to aid interested companies and site location consultants in learning about Powhatan County.

She said the volume of data the team gathered and analyzed during the study are key site location and expansion factors for businesses and can go on that website.

Explore opportunities with willing landowners to secure control of strategic properties for future employment centers that will be a good place for job creation to occur.

Use the Economic Development Authority as a vehicle for the board to begin to affect additional economic development opportunities in the county.

Establish a formal business visitation program in order to identify business concerns, as well as company plans for expansion within or outside the county. The program can use volunteers to create a questionnaire to get ongoing feedback from area business to help identify shared issues that can threaten the county’s overall business base.

Beard offered some of the team’s suggested strategies for promoting tourism and agribusiness: Agribusiness and tourism recruitment and revenue-generating opportunities are best centered on agriculture, equine services, events, river and state park attributes.

Develop a marketing plan to include branding, brochures, and visitor guide for statewide distribution.

Have a designated tourism website for visitors who want to know what is going on in the county. Beard suggested acquiring the www.visitpowhatan.com domain name to promote activities, events, and other reasons to visit Powhatan. Upgrade

Use Powhatan State Park as a catalyst for additional trail and riverfront improvements across the county.

Consider promoting inter-parcel connectivity between developments to minimize driveway-turning movements along major streets Explore using smaller, community-based water and wastewater systems as a means of encouraging smart growth and avoiding costly extensions from other systems. Consider using the EDA to help with financing of communitybased systems in areas of the county where business, tourism, and agribusiness activities are desired.

Pursue grant programs available through the Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development to assist with feasibility studies for these alternative systems Francis also looked at suggested strategies for franchise utilities and improving the development process: Maintain dialogue with local power companies to plan service extensions and redundant power as business parks or other large-scale development opportunities are considered.

As development opportunities are identified, undertake a comprehensive study to determine how natural gas services can be obtained and at what cost, as the availability of natural gas will increase the County’s potential for manufacturing operations.

Engage Columbia Gas to develop planning for an extension of natural gas service westward along Route 60.

Lunch Buddies program still looks to grow

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – Kris Gwaltney loves the smile on her lunch buddy’s face when she enters the room at his school.

Even if she is a few minutes late, the Flat Rock Elementary School third-grader’s eyes seem to light up when Gwaltney walks through the door for their weekly lunch session. They will only be together for 30 minutes before she goes back to work and her buddy returns to his class.

But while some people might not think that small window of time would have a big impact through volunteering as a lunch buddy during the week, Gwaltney has observed that a visit can mean more than people can ever anticipate. “If you have 30 minutes once a week to spare, it could be a very powerful and well spent 30 minutes for you or for a child in the schools and you don’t know unless you try it,� said Gwaltney, director of transportation and disciplinary hearing officer with Powhatan County Public Schools (PCPS).

The Lunch Buddies mentoring program is now in its second year in Powhatan schools, but while it is going well and seems to be positively affecting the children involved, it could be even better, said Matt Gerard, Americorps Vista Mentoring program coordinator for PCPS and Lunch Buddy mentoring program coordinator.

The main problem is in the number of volunteers, he said. The school district currently has 19 mentors that are serving 24 students each week at the middle and three elementary schools. Organizers have a long list of students still waiting to be matched with an adult lunch buddy. “Our goal is to effectively double the number of mentors this year before next year,� he said, adding that with so much of the workforce population leaving the county during the week day that can be hard to accomplish.

The school district is actively recruiting Lunch Buddies volunteers because everyone recognized during the 20142015 school year the good that it could do, Katie Wojcicki, director of pupil personnel services and special education in-

struction, said.

Having an adult come every week and shower attention on them during that certain time, and knowing the same person will be back the following week, gives them more of a positive association with school, she said. Some students lack having an adult they can count on to follow through on their promises.

Organizers also sometimes see that the program helps improve attendance and grades and decrease discipline referrals, she said. “The mentors, the mentees, the teachers of the students, the administrators – everyone involved felt the students

really benefitted from it and were very excited about continuing this year,� she said. “We have a long list of students we would like to match with mentors as a result of what we saw last year.�

It’s not that the program is difficult. During the 30-minute time slot the mentor and mentee may talk, do a project together, play games, color or just eat, depending on what the little boy or girl feels like that day, she said.

But organizers do want a commitment that the mentors will be there every week so that the children don’t feel let down, Gerard said. That can be hard to get when the adults are being asked

to come to lunch at a school on a business day.

Ideally, if the mentor and mentee hit it off and both want to stay involved with Lunch Buddies, the pair can continue being matched up even as the child gets older, he said. The program currently extends from kindergarten through sixth grade. “For students who are matched with the same mentors they had last year, you can tell that those relationships are really connected. They have progressed a lot more than people who just started this year,�

Gerard said.

Gwaltney was thrilled when she learned she

would be paired with the same Lunch Buddy that she had last year. She said it has been find to extend the relationship and get to know the little boy better, which is the main reason she decided to participate in the program a second year. “I walk away with having enjoyed my time with this young person. I walk away hoping I made a difference in this young person’s life. My buddy is just a really neat kid,� she said.

Knowing that you can befriend a child who needs support and be a positive role model is very fulfilling, Gerard said. Ultimately, mentors help provide them with the skills or learning experiences they need to be where they want to be in the future. “It is a long term idea.

The goal is for it to be a relationship that doesn’t just stop,� he said.

People interested in becoming a Lunch Buddies mentor should contact Matt Gerard at 804598-5700 ext. 132 or matt.gerard@powhatan. k12.va.us. They will be asked to fill out an online application and have a criminal background check.

barred from talking publicly about the allegations or letters and have referred questions to Chief 11th District Judge Mayo Gravatt, who has repeatedly declined to comment. When asked last month if Beasley will continue sitting in the various courts in the 11th District, or whether that will be decided on a day-to-day basis, the judge said, “at a minimum, the answer is he will continue sitting.”

Gravatt added that neither he, nor any of the clerks, would provide any information on where Beasley would be sitting “on any given day” because of security concerns involving those who serve in the judiciary.

Black History Month event strikes a chord

By Laura McFarland News Editor

T

he longer this writer stays in Powhatan County and learns about the people, the history and the land, the more she realizes how much more there is to discover.

For me, what is fascinating about Powhatan County, as with any place, is discovering its layers.

You come to a place, try out some of its restaurants, engage in local entertainment and educational activities, make friends, and gradually sink into the rhythm of everyday life. For some people, that is enough.

But, if you want to go deeper – oh, my – what wonders there are to discover.

As you hopefully know, February is Black History Month. As a journalist who likes covering community events to show what is going on, I probably attend more of these activities than the average person.

When interviewing organizers of these events, the question always comes up, “What kind of lasting impact do you want to have on the people who attended?” Answers vary depending on the event, but at the core is always a desire to share knowledge.

As a participant in almost any event, my goal is to come away feeling richer in some way – shared knowledge, burgeoning friendships or new insights.

Last week, it happened twice.

In the early afternoon of Wednesday, Feb. 24, Belmead on the James hosted a Black History Month event that celebrated its rich history and highlighted its plans for the future. About 30 attendees watched a short documentary on Belmead created by organizer Ryan Heathcock, owner of Once Upon a Time, and then listened and engaged with a panel of local leaders.

There were too many topics to touch on them all here, especially when a front page story on the event does just that, so, instead, I will share the thing that struck me the most.

Sister Maureen Carroll, executive director of FrancisEmma Inc., talked about three distinct eras – of enslavement, empowerment and environment – in Belmead’s history.

From 1838 to 1856, Belmead was a place of subjugation, at least for the enslaved men, women and children in bondage there. And if life didn’t keep moving ever onwards, that could have been Belmead’s main legacy.

Then Saint Katharine Drexel, the founder of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and of the school, created St. Emma’s School for black boys and St. Francis de Sales School for black girls. Suddenly, a place that once stood for so much wrong was bringing hope for a brighter present and future to those who once would have been subjugated there.

This era of empowerment lasted from 1895 to 1972 and resulted in the education of more than 10,000 black students. What more satisfying revenge can you have on someone who wants you bent low than to stand tall?

I mentioned a second event. That one happened because of a simple turn of the head on Thursday, Feb. 26.

I am a frequent visitor to the Powhatan County Public Library and am a fan of its services. Walking into the library, it is always interesting to see what kind of special display will greet you.

In February, and now stretching into March, the library has been honoring Black History Month by remembering this county’s history.

With so many copies of old documents and black and white photographs, it is admittedly not the most

visually stunning display. But what it lacks in visual pizzazz it more than makes up for in substance and relevance to the local community.

The display, which was created by library clerk Sara Durrett, covers black history that spans from the early 1700s to today, and, in most cases, deals specifically with Powhatan County. She said she didn’t shy away from the unpalatable parts of the county’s history because “being reminded of what happened is important. If you shove it under the rug all the time, you will eventually trip over it.”

There are the petitions to enforce anti-Ku Klux Klan laws in Virginia; minutes from the school board meeting calling for the consolidation of Pocahontas and Powhatan high schools; a newspaper story about Margaret Manning becoming the first black board of supervisors member and serving from 1993 to 2004, and there is Napoleon Drew, the first black person deeded land after the Civil War. Normally, when I walk into the library, I am focused straight ahead. I might pause at the table in the front, but, after that, it is all business. On that particular day, I looked to the right. Then I took a step closer, and another. Before I knew it, I was standing next to the wall of black history information and soaking it up.

It is a good, solid display filled with a wide spectrum of information. At the time, they were simply documents to sign – deeds, registering to vote, signing a petition. Now they tell part of the story in Powhatan County of some of the black men and women who helped shape it into what it has become and what it will continue to evolve into moving forward.

It is a story well worth taking your time to read if you plan to visit the library soon.

THE SMALLEST THINGS

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

M

y first days in Little League baseball were spent behind the plate. In those days, the least enviable position fell to the chubbiest kid on the roster — and I

was it.

I didn’t mind it much and the anonymity the bulky equipment provided somehow removed some of the normal pressure of Little League sports.

It wasn’t long before coaches noticed that I threw the ball much better than I caught, and moved me to the mound. Patient coaches and dedicated volunteers worked with me until my skills improved.

I don’t recall much about those days, but the memories I do have involve seeing my Dad watching me play baseball.

He wasn’t one of those vocal parents who yelled and screamed with each pitch, but I could tell by the positioning of his eyebrows how I was doing.

I often glanced over at his regular spot in the bleachers to see his expression. And, once in a while, when that perfect fastball found the inside corner at just the right height, and the umpire yelled “Strike” … well, that was one of those moments in life that you relive hundreds of times.

Those good pitches were accompanied by a roar from those aforementioned parents who did live and die with each pitch.

But, it was the look on my Dad’s face that is forever burned in my memory — the sight of watching his son succeed and the look it produced provided an indescribable satisfaction for a small, chubby kid who needed every bit of confidence he could find.

I saw that same look when I won a spelling bee, or caught a pass, or earned a merit badge.

I suppose it’s the same feeling dads and moms get when their kids sink the game-winning shot, or when a child gets a scholarship, or any and all of the accomplishments we enjoy with our children.

Things were not going well with Jack’s power soccer team last week when I found my regular seat in the small gymnasium.

It’s a weekly ritual that allows young people with disabilities like Muscular Dystrophy to enjoy the camaraderie of sport, the lessons of teamwork, and the joy of cutting loose and having fun.

Sportable of Richmond provides the volunteers who work patiently with kids who have limited mobility so they can enjoy a friendly game of soccer.

Jack’s team was held scoreless until late in the contest when Jack broke free and rolled his way to a final goal. A hearty round of applause followed Jack’s sprint to the goal, and I found myself enjoying that same feeling of pride that most have been on my Dad’s mind as he sat in those old bleachers at Dumbarton School.

I quickly realized that feeling is not exclusively linked to sporting events or physical feats, and the pride we enjoy in our children’s accomplishments take many forms.

How do I know that? Because I got the same feeling the next morning as I watched him wheel down a long walk and wait patiently for a ramp to lower so he could do what every other kid takes for granted: Get on a school bus.

Like every other person on that gymnasium floor last week, Jack’s a fighter. These kids score the winning run, catch the game-winning pass every day of their lives as the persevere and thrive under the harshest of circumstances.

They take nothing for granted, and ask for little as they mount a daily struggle to live in a world with challenges we wouldn’t begin to understand.

And, they provide the moments of pride like the one I was blessed enough to enjoy last week.

I hope Jack saw the look on my face.

what parameters the staff had to operate inside.

Before Weiler started her presentation, chairman Bill Melton, who represents District 4, pointed out that this is by no means the final budget.

The board has budget workshops scheduled at 6 p.m. on March 7, 9, 14, 21 and 23. It has yet to be decided if the board will meet on March 28. A public hearing for the proposed budget will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 18 and the board may adopt the budget at 7 p.m. on Monday, May 2.

Budgeting guidelines The budget process for the board began on Jan. 4, when they held a discussion about budget guidelines, Weiler said.

When designing the proposed budget, Weiler said she understood the board was asking county staff to meet several guidelines: reduce the real estate tax rate to 85 cents or less; reduce the depreciation schedule for business personal property tax; reduce machinery and tools and business personal property tax rates from $3.60 to $1.80, and estimate sales tax at a 14 percent increase over FY 2016 estimated actual.

Additionally, the board set guidelines to fund Phase 2 of the Class and Compensation Plan, broadband, the capital improvement program (CIP), pay-

Block explained that the move also will allow DJJ to transition at a time when the population will be low enough to avoid dangerous overpopulation at Bon Air, Ware said. Once at Bon Air, the plan would be to operate the consolidated facility until a proposed smaller, more modern facility could be built in Chesapeake. The smaller facility and others like it that are proposed would incorporate a communitybased system that McAuliffe has said he believes would do a better job of keeping youths from returning to incarceration.

“DJJ is administered by the executive, that is, the governor, not the legislature; hence the agency had not informed us in the legislature of the proposal,” Ware said. “I have asked director Block to come to Powhatan to hold a public meeting about the matter, and he said he would be glad to do so sometime in the near future.”

After inquiries were made to the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice about the closing, public information officer Greg Davy said that “budget negotiations are ongoing, and we continue to be engaged in the discussion on the future of juvenile justice in Virginia. The governor is committed to the transformation of our juvenile justice system to ensure that it is working for our young people, our communities and for our taxpayers.”

At last count, there were 175 youth housed at Beaumont, Davy said.

Beaumont has a budgeted capacity of 284 males who go up to age 21, according to DJJ’s website. The Bon Air facility, which will hold the consolidated populations, is a 284-capacity facility serving a coed population

as-you-go capital, and economic development. Weiler also cited the wish expressed by Larry Nordvig, District 2, to “grow us into a lower taxes, not shrink us into lower taxes.”

At the board’s request, county staff designed a budget featuring a real estate tax rate of 85 cents, Weiler said. The current tax rate is 90 cents, but given the newly updated 5.8 percent increase in the county’s overall assessed value as of Jan. 1, 2016, a real estate tax rate of 85 cents would be needed to see no effective increase or decrease in the average taxpayer bill. This effective tax rate sees a change in the rate itself, but the taxpayer still ends up paying the same bill.

“I had told the board that I would report to you a budget with a real estate tax rate of 85 cents and I have done that,” Weiler said. “I’ll let you know things you cut if you wish to cut to go down below 85 cents but I will also point out some things that were not funded that you asked potentially to be funded because the real estate tax rate is at 85 cents.”

In addition to the budget guidelines, Weiler said she also put the budget together using best practices for governmental budgeting. Those included maintaining a fund balance at the board’s policy of 15 percent; present a balanced budget without using the fund balance, and not using one-time funding sources for operating expenditures.

of males age 14 to 18 and females age 11 to 20 who have been committed by the juvenile court.

The issue is that, over the last 15 or 20 years, the number of juveniles that have been going into these correctional facilities is on the decline, Sen. Glen Sturtevant Jr., R-10, said. A number of facilities have closed in recent years because of those declines.

“Over the last 10, 15, 20 years, the number of long-term incarcerations of juveniles has dropped dramatically across the state. The trend appears to be continuing in that direction,” Sturtevant said. “As we have fewer and fewer juveniles needing long-term incarceration, that means we need fewer places to incarcerate them, so there may ultimately be a silver lining here.”

With the new facilities also comes a change in philosophy about how to rehabilitate juveniles, moving more toward group homes and therapeutic treatments instead of the straight traditional corrections facility, he said. Data apparently shows that this new approach results in a lower recidivism rate, he added.

“At the end of the day it’s about punishment, deterrence, and rehabilitation,” Sturtevant said.

“If we can do things to better rehabilitate these juveniles, that really is what the correctional system is about.”

State budget proposed Sturtevant said that when the State Senate’s proposed budget was released earlier this week and he noticed the language wasn’t really specific regarding the Beaumont and Bon Air facilities, he started asking questions to make sure he fully understood the situation.

Additionally, the board had adopted Vision 2030, which had three year priorities, she said. Some of the items captured in those three-year priorities are coming forward in the proposed FY 2017 budget.

Those items are to implement the economic development plan; the EDA reconstitutions and business friendly practices and policies.

County staff also worked to meet Vision 2030 priorities regarding transferring emergency communications to the Fire and Rescue Department and relocate the E-911 center; capital improvements and maintenance; a public safety communications system, and implementing a county-wide broadband system.

Real estate assessments Before moving into the main numbers, Weiler had said she wanted to update the board on real estate values. Since the board first heard about the real estate re-assessment in November 2015, there have been changes.

In the November report to the board, the total assessed value of the county was $3,602,749,700, which was an increase of 212,411,500 from the last assessment that took effect in January 2014, she said.

The increase in value came from new construction in 2014 and 2015.

Weiler explained that the auditors made adjustments and reduced that increase in value

He said he spoke against this portion of the budget on Thursday, Feb. 25, on the Senate floor in the hopes of being able to stop the process of moving forward with “what will probably be the ultimate closure of Beaumont. But that was, unfortunately, not successful. I was not able to get enough votes to do that.”

While he couldn’t stop the closure, Sturtevant said he and Ware are committed to minimizing the impact of the closure as much as possible.

“Del. Ware and I are going to be working to get additional language added to that portion of the budget regarding the juvenile justice centers,” Sturtevant said. “Something along the lines that Beaumont will not be phased out in any shorter time period than 12 to 18 months and that any potential reductions in work force will be done through attrition.”

Beaumont employees will be transitioned into other juvenile facilities or have preferential opportunities to work for the Department of Corrections, Sturtevant said. He added there also will be other job training and transition assistance provided.

Effect on Powhatan County As far as the long-lasting effects on Powhatan County of the closing of Beaumont, that is an unknown factor right now, March Altman, deputy county administrator, said.

The closing of Beaumont certainly is a big deal because 23 county residents work there, he said. The facility does purchase products from businesses in the county, which means potential revenue loss in their futures.

Added to that are the possible dollars spent at

to $191,942,605. This made the total assessed value for the county $3,582,280,505.

“The assessors have an appeals process that ended Dec. 31, so these are the results of the assessors’ appeals process,” she said.

That means that instead of the county’s real estate increasing in value by 6.4 percent, it actually went up 5.8 percent.

The increase is still good news and didn’t really effect what the tax rate would need to be to see no effective increase or decrease, she said. However, that doesn’t mean the change had no effect.

“I know that is a very insignificant amount to everyone. It is still 85 cents. However in doing our revenue projections, one day in January we lost $170,000 in real estate tax revenues due to the assessment that came in,” she said.

The change also changed the value of 1 cent in the county’s real estate taxes, Weiler said.

Now instead of being worth $318,000, a 1 cent increase or decrease in the real estate tax rate would mean a change of $314,000 up or down.

People unhappy with their assessments may still file an appeal with the Board of Equalization until the end of March, so that potentially means an increase or a decrease for the rate once those findings are known.

Near the end of her presentation, Weiler pointed out the impact of a five cent difference on the real estate taxes of the

local businesses by employees who don’t live in Powhatan or friends and family visiting Beaumont residents and spend money while they stay, he said.

“We are a little disappointed, but I think at this point in time the focus needs to shift from the closure to what will the impact be and getting a better idea and understanding of that from the director of the Department of Juvenile Justice -- what that impact will be on Powhatan,” Altman said.

If Beaumont does close, then there will be the question of what happens to the buildings and property, Altman said.

There is a significant amount of land out there that can be utilized, and “certainly we would want the county to have a say in how that facility is reused,” he said.

Altman pointed that, while the James River Juvenile Detention Center is located on the same property as Beaumont, they are not run the same.

Beaumont and the land it sits on belong to the state.

The James River facility is owned and operated by Powhatan, Goochland and Henrico counties. It sits on the same property but James River is not closing, she added.

Right now county staff has a number of unanswered questions for the Department of Juvenile Justice, including wanting to know about the process for closure works; what their timelines are; what type of assistance will be offered to the Beaumont employees; and if the county can have a say on the possible reuse of the property.

If at a future date the state plans to declare the Beaumont land as surplus, hopefully locals can make a good case for rolling it into Powhatan see BEAUMONT page 10A

average taxpayer. The averaged assessed value for a residential property is $211,165. The tax at 90 cents would be $1,900 and at 85 cents would be $1,795, which is a difference of $105.

“So for every $100,000 of assessed value, the five cent difference in tax rate is $50,” she said.

She also pointed out that there are other counties that advertised their real estate tax rates before presenting their budgets or not taking into account lower assessments. She said Powhatan has lessons it can learn from counties that “fund economic development fully. You reap the benefits of funding economic development fully.”

County revenues The county has eight operating funds that it budgets for: general fund, social services fund, CSA fund, grants fund, fire and rescue fund, SRP fund, capital project fund, and utilities fund.

The total adopted FY 2016 County Operating Budget was almost $54.4 million, Weiler said. The total proposed FY 2017 County Operating Budget is almost $56.8 million, which represents a 4 percent increase or $2.4 million.

The bulk of the county’s operating funds are found in the general fund, which the proposed FY 2017 budget has at see BOARD page 10A

Powhatan Today, March 2, 2016

Board Continued from page 9A

almost $49.4 million, up almost $1.9 million from the prior year, Weiler said.

The increase is made up primarily from increases in its four main revenue sources over the FY 2016 budget: real estate from new construction ($557,000); personal property ($501,120); sales tax ($560,650), and motor vehicle ($116,000).

The county is estimated to receive $8.5 million in state and federal support, which is an increase of $313,979, Weiler said. That increase is seen in three of the county’s funds: general fund ($65,432); social services fund ($81,040), and CSA fund, ($169,996).

The utilities fund will total $2.7 million in revenues, which is up by $96,422 from the prior year, Weiler said. She added the county staff is recommending an increase in the water and sewer rates.

She pointed out that $2.3 million of the $2.7 million in the utilities fund is a transfer from the general fund. The board decided last year it didn’t want the general fund transfer to increase but unlike many other localities that have water and wastewater utilities that are fully self supporting, Powhatan does not. The proposed budget has a $61,000 increase in the amount coming from the general fund.

Weiler emphasized that the $2.3 million going to the utilities fund represents 7.2 cents of the real estate tax rate. “So when you start comparing Powhatan’s tax rate to another locality’s tax rate, keep in mind that 7.2 cents of the tax rate is supporting the water and sewer system,� she said.

County expenditures The above general fund’s expenditures is a proposed $49.4 million because the staff presented the board of

State Park, said Carson Tucker, who represents District 5 on the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors.

year.

The county also plans to use savings from fuel costs to pay for ammunition for the sheriff’s office, she said.

County staff recommended hiring a director of emergency communications ($82,000), who would oversee the radio system, the CAD system and the relocation center, Weiler said.

The proposed budget recommends several position changes, including a vacant planner position being turned into a director of community development; removing a part-time library clerk and adding a librarian to give sup-

port to Peggy Martin; removing two part-time seasonal maintenance worker positions and hiring four part-time maintenance workers in the summer only; hiring two recreation technicians to give support to recreation coordinator Mary Anne Woodel; hiring a director of emergency communications, and reclassifying the Community Action Program coordinator as a family services specialist.

The cost of the position changes add up to a combined increase of $225,815, Weiler said.

Weiler also talked about changes in the sheriff’s office position. She said $75,000 needed to be budgeted in the operating budget for two sheriff’s deputies hired as an amendment to the current budget. The county is going to be budgeting for compensatory and holiday leave so that needs to be increased.

The director of community development will be dedicated to economic development, which the board in the past had made a priority for the county, Weiler said. The person in the position will be responsible for creating businessfriendly policies and practices in building inspections and planning and zoning. “In this position, and this position only, we are asking you to approve this early so that we can begin work immediately. I heard many of you say, why can’t we start work now, now, now and start yesterday,� she said.

If the board wants to start on those things sooner, there are funds available in the current year to fund the position, she said. Approving it now means the board could have someone in the position and working by May or June as opposed to later in the summer if it is approved with the budget in May. Sheriff Brad Nunnally offered to use salary savings he came up with to help pay for the compensatory and holiday leave, Weiler said. Going forward, that salary savings will be built into the budget to pay for a new police car every

Adding the land from the Beaumont property to the state park’s acreage has some good benefits such as making the park more attractive to people and adding “more magnificent river frontage,� he said.

The addition also would address

the longstanding issue of the entrance problem that Powhatan has had and continues to have at the intersection of Old River Trail and 522, Tucker said. “We could make the entrance to the park the entrance to Beaumont, which

DJJ had stood against historically because of the mixing of people coming into a correctional facility with the people going to the state park,� he said.

supervisors with a balanced budget, Weiler said.

The increase of almost $1.9 million will primarily fund three things: setting aside money for future debt service ($612,000); county expenditures in capital, health and human services, debt, employee compensation and FY 2016 position changes (total of $689,815), and money going to Powhatan County Public School ($555,057) Weiler pointed out that the total increase reflected $260,000 that will no longer be going to the school district’s supplemental retirement program (SRP) and thus is returning to the schools because of an agreement made in 2015, Weiler said. With the last payment, the SRP was fully funded, although it is not totally gone as people are still being paid out.

David Williams, District 1, questioned why the $260,000 was automatically going back to the schools.

Weiler said it was her understanding that that was the agreement made between the school board and the board of supervisors, so if that is going to change, it is an item for further discussion.

Employee compensation, which crosses several of the eight funds, is seeing a 1.75 percent decrease in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rate, which is about $133,085. However, the other items she mentioned were all increases: health insurance, ($61,004); Group Life Insurance ($9078); Phase 2 of the Class and Compensation Plan ($75,000), and a 2 percent pay scale adjustment ($198,000). These numbers combined result in an overall increase of $209,997.

Position changes

Unfunded projects There were several things staff was not able to fund in this proposed budget because of the limitation posed by a proposed 85 cent tax rate, Weiler said.

There is no money in the current budget for trying to improve the countywide broadband situation, but staff has been working on that on an ongoing basis, Weiler said.

The proposed budget also does not include funds for debt service on new bonds; pay-as-you go capital; requests made by Powhatan County Volunteer Firefighters for paid firefighters at Company 1, help with volunteer fire and rescue retirement retention, honor guard and uniform requests.

Weiler pointed out that Chief Steven Singer has found a grant that, if the county received it, would pay for firefighters for two years. She said the grant, which was formerly more stringent, no longer requires the locality to pick up the cost of the firefighters if they do not want to keep them. “Then they are assuming that the county will pay for the firefighters after that, but it would buy you two years of not funding the firefighters,� Weiler said. “If we were not to get the grant, it would be our recommendation that you do fund these firefighters for Company 1.�

Weiler said that as the supervisors start going through the budget, they will see most of the department requests that were made were not funded.

Clover native and National Football League Hall of Famer Willie Lanier spoke in Parker Gymnasium at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot on Feb. 24 as part of the school’s Black History Month celebration. Lanier spoke for almost 25 minutes about a wide range of topics.

NFL Hall of Famer speaks at BSH

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The gym was silent, save for the rain on the gym’s roof at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot on Feb. 24.

But, even the rain would let up as if nature wanted to hear Willie Lanier speak too.

Lanier, a National Football League Hall of Fame member from the Kansas City Chiefs spoke to an assembled group of students and faculty in Parker Gymnasium at BSH about Black History Month.

“It’s always interesting for me when I’m asked to speak,” he said as he started

his speech. “It’s interesting for me during Black History Month, or any other time, to reflect on the journey I’ve lived in my life. That many other places I’ve been, where I’ve sat, where I’ve watched, where I’ve wondered …. all had the opportunity to unfold in a very positive way because of the

efforts that started many, many years ago.”

Lanier was born in 1943 in Clover and attended Maggie Walker High School in Richmond.

He attended Morgan State College where he excelled on the gridiron and in the classroom. Lanier was selected No. 2 overall by the

Chiefs in the 1967 draft.

Lanier was the first African-American to really shine at the middle linebacker position, and shine he did. According to his Hall of Fame bio, he was All-Pro, All-AFL or All-AFC every season from 1968-1975. He was a two-time American Football League All-Star

and was named to the first six AFC-NFC Pro Bowls.

In his career he had 27 interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns.

He also recovered 18 fumbles. He played in all 14 games through his playing years of 1967-1977 all but see LANIER page 2B

Knights fall in semis

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Brieanna Zimmerman attempts a field goal during the VCC semifinal game against Richmond Christian.

PETERSBURG—Richmond Christian did not throw anything new at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot on Feb. 25 on the campus of Richard Bland College.

No, the VCC semifinal between the Warriors and the Knights did not showcase any surprises or changes in scheme.

It came down to energy according to Knight’s coach Jenny Pruett.

“We started out in the first quarter and (Richmond Christian) had more energy

than they did last time,” she said. “I don’t think our girls were expecting that energy.”

The Warriors rode the wave of Morgan Batie’s 26 points en route to a 52-36 win over the Knights.

Richmond Christian jumped out to a six point lead early before Brieanna Zimmerman was able to get the first points of the game for the Knights. The Warriors were in a full-court press that frustrated the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot offense.

Zimmerman led the Knights with 14 points.

As the Knights would try

to advance the ball up the court, Richmond Christian pressed hard on every advance, often leading to turnovers which led to easy layups and a lead that grew and grew for the Warriors.

“They were getting frustrated with turnovers,” Pruett said. “One mistake led to another mistake and another and you look up and you’re down by ten and the girls just didn’t know how to respond. You sit them down and talk to them and tell them to relax and try to calm them down. It’s hard to face adversity when you haven’t see KNIGHTS page 2B

FROM THE SPORTS EDITOR:

Lanier’s speech echoed with all

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

When I left my apartment to head to Blessed Sacrament Huguenot on Feb. 24, I automatically reached for my usual New York Giants hat that many of you may have seen me wearing around at various Powhatan or BSH sporting events.

Then I remembered who I was speaking with that day.

I went with my Hartford Whalers hat instead.

That day, which also happened to be my birthday, found me among the audience that got to hear Pro Football Hall of Famer Willie Lanier speak to some students and faculty at BSH. As he had played for the Kansas City Chiefs, I didn’t want to get off on the wrong foot with a Hall of Famer because of my hat.

Throughout my educational experiences, I’ve been where many of those BSH students sat that day, listening to a speaker in elementary, middle and high school.

I’ve listened to many speakers on the campus at Christopher Newport University, and have even done the speaking a few times.

I’ve heard speakers in my time in the Boy Scouts of America and been to

more press conferences for NASCAR than I could ever count.

But, I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone who commanded a room like Willie Lanier.

The gym was quiet even before he took the stage, but, when he did take to the podium, it seemed barely anyone dared to move in fear of missing something that Lanier was saying.

That included me, which was unfortunate, since I needed photos.

Lanier was talking about Black History Month and the experiences he described with segregation and arriving at Morgan State College soon after Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream� Speech.

He also was the first African-American middle linebacker, which made for some eye-opening and powerful moments to many of the students in the gym.

Similar to my own hat collection, Lanier has worn many in his life since being born in Clover two years before the end of World War II. Football player. Super Bowl Champion. Businessman. Degree holder.

Committee member.

Speaker. Hall of Famer.

And many more.

All of those hats, those different roles were such a

huge message to the students, one that I hope they take to heart and remember as they continue down the road of education.

It was a simple one: Don’t let people paint you into one box. Expand and learn. “Being here this morning is one of acknowledging the history, and mine is driven by the athletic,� he said during his speech. “But, the reality is I’m here because the resume has a lot more expanse to it. The resume has the year I started pro football in 1967. It also has the year I started the MBA program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.�

Lanier spoke eloquently about his different and varied interests — from the gridiron to the classroom.

I was just as captivated as many in the room, including the faculty and administrators of BSH, many of whom commented on how strong a speaker Lanier was after the speech had ended.

His nickname in professional football was “Contact� due to the power and velocity behind the hits he delivered during his time with the Chiefs.

His powerful words delivered to the crowd at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot weren’t anything you wanted to get in the way of either.

faced it a lot. It’s hard to know how to fix it.�

The Knights faced an uphill climb in the second half, down by 23 points at the break. But, they were able to score the first four points of the second half and get some rhythm going.

Near the end of the fourth quarter, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot was able to cut the lead to 15 after a 10 point run, but time ran out for the Knights as well as any potential comeback.

Pruett said the second half was more along the lines of how the Knights

had performed in practice. “We knew exactly what they were going to play,� she said. “We just got flustered with the turnovers. I think that really got us down. Our energy was down, and our attitude was down. Once we started playing our game and our basketball, the girls started to settle in. We started to come back.�

While a good amount of support attending the midafternoon game at Richard Bland, the atmosphere was a stark contrast to the highintensity environment on the Knights’ home court on Feb. 22 against Brunswick Academy in the opening round of the VCC playoffs.

The Knights had built a 14-point lead over the Vi-

kings that was entirely erased with 50 seconds remaining in the game after Brunswick Academy had gone on a four-point run that was preceded by Corrinne Anderson’s personal four-point streak for the Knights.

But, Zimmerman went to the line with 31.8 seconds remaining after a blocking foul and sank one of her two shots to make it 34-33.

Brunswick Academy got the ball down court, but was unable to get any basket to drop before time ran out.

The Knights made the VISAA tournament as the No. 10 seed and played Roanoke Catholic on Tuesday.

twice.

He’s a Super Bowl Champion with the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV and was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in August of 1986.

He was also the first African-American to attend the Executive Program at the University of Virginia’s Darden School. “That’s as significant to me as being the first (African-American) middle linebacker in football,� Lanier said. “Because each one has a significant place in understanding what our country had been whatever we were and subsequently what we became. That becomes part of the Black History Month acknowledgement.�

During his speech at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, Lanier spoke on many different topics, all eloquently and with great detail.

When speaking about Black History Month, he recalled attending Maggie Walker during the segregation of Richmond, yet never

forgetting what his “inquisitiveness� and what he termed his “thirst� for learning. “The reason I stand here is there was a thirst that was embodied in me,� he said. “The thirst of wanting to be something called equal.

Equal meant that I had the equal chance to do whatever the Constitution allowed me to do. If that were to be the case, I needed the drive to continue.�

Throughout the speech, which lasted almost 25 minutes, Lanier was able to tie everything together that he was trying to get across to the students of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

Whether it was discussing concussions, health and being able to play football to being a successful businessman, Lanier delivered on every topic with a sharp memory and distinction. “I think what happens is that many of those of us who have had a more public career, especially when it is tied to Black History Month, it is relevant,� he said after the speech. “With everything going on in our country today, and all of the intersections in need of a

diverse race understanding, there are places constantly that offer to opportunity to do this. I think also when you tie in the academic standpoint with someone that is known from an athletic standpoint, and then they understand they are a whole person. It isn’t just someone that played a sport.�

While there was no doubt many students and staff were impressed with Lanier’s words, one aspect of what he saw in the students of BSH, and BSH itself, was something he was impressed with. “Many appreciate the moments,� he said. “In a private school setting, you dress, you present yourself in a way that you should.

That’s thrilling to me. I think more schools should have a little more of a dress code. It doesn’t have to be exactly here, but you want to help improve the future by certain standards that are beneficial. That first impression is still a first impression.�

Royals take down Finland, three others Submitted Report NASHVILLE, Tennessee – For the Richmond Royals Squirt ice hockey team playing in tournaments in cities as far away as Pittsburgh and Hershey, Penn. and Charlotte, N.C. is a regular season occurrence.

But this past President’s Day weekend games in Nashville, Tenn., was extra special since the schedule had the Royals playing its first European team from Helsinki, Finland.

The early Saturday afternoon game had the Fins up first in a four-game schedule, which also included playing two junior Predators teams from Nashville and a team from Atlanta.

In a fast-paced game, the Royals showed the team from Helsinki that while hockey is not as big of sport in Richmond as in their hometown, the nineand 10-year-olds from the greater Richmond area could play a great game of hockey and beat the Fins 3-1.

Starting right-winger

Tucker Eccleston of Moseley scored two goals and starting left-winger Sam Shevrin of Powhatan had one goal.

Goalie Casey Stapleton of Henrico got the win in net.

The Richmond Royals went on to win the next three games against two Squirt teams playing in the NHL Nashville Predators junior hockey program by a one goal margin in each game and dominated a team from Atlanta 12-0.

Nashville was the sixth away tournament for the Richmond Royals since last Columbus Day. The team has won four of the six tournaments and has two remaining ones; March 4 – 6 in Atlantic City, N.J., and the season finale at the Liberty Cup Spring Classic March 11 – 13 in Philadelphia.

“While the Squirt team played a team from Canada last year, and beat them as well, the experience playing the team from Finland will be a lasting memory for these youngsters,”

Royals head coach Brian Goudie of Mechanicsville said.

Goudie is a familiar name to Richmond pro hockey fans.

He coached and played for the Richmond Renegades and Richmond Riverdogs, and now coaches his son Maddox’s team.

After the game with Finland, the players congratulated each other and posed for a joint-team photo on the ice.

The Helsinki players presented a hometown puck to each of the Royals players.

“It was awesome playing a team from so far away,” 10-year-old Nate Boeckle of Glen Allen said. “They had some good skaters but we outplayed them.”

Tucker Eccleston, who wears No. 9 on his purple and black Royals jersey and moved to Richmond two years ago from the metro New York area added, “it was cool playing the Finland team and scoring two goals on them made it extra sweet.”

Powhatan’s boys soccer team took a unique approach to practice on Friday by playing ultimate frisbee at the start of the practice session.

The activity not only allows the team to work on its teamwork and communication, but is a good simulator for soccer movements and builds endurance. Baseball, softball and outdoor track also took the opportunity to practice outside on Friday after rain had kept all the spring sports indoors. Stay tuned next week for spring sports previews as well as schedules for the spring sports in Powhatan County.

Powhatan students recognized for making a difference Contributed Report

R

aleigh Willis of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School and James Liam Cooke of Powhatan High School were recently recognized by the Interfaith Council of Greater Richmond.

Both young men were named by their school counselors and teachers as students who have made a difference in the school and community through their efforts to foster healthy human relationships and intergroup understanding.

They were honored at the 49th Annual Brotherhood Sisterhood Youth Award Ceremony held on Thursday, Feb. 11 at River Road Church Baptist.

Willis is the son of Sarah Willis of Powhatan and serves as his senior class president.

As president, Willis has established a diverse cabinet of advisors which has resulted in students traversing many social divides.

He has mediated converging inter-

ests to successfully plan homecoming and organized a Big Brothers/Big Sisters event.

Members of the senior class include a student with autism. Willis is aware of this individual’s struggle in social situations and organized a tacky lights tour for the senior class. He actively

encouraged this student to attend, sat with him on the bus and at the meal prior to the event.

Willis also advocated for a student with autism struggling with socialization by riding the activity bus and aiding him in class.

Cook is the son of Melissa Cook of

Powhatan. He takes his role in Powhatan High School’s Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) seriously, keeping fellow cadets in line and maintaining discipline and respect for fellow members and the leadership.

Cook also helps out cadets who have special needs, ensuring their success. He is active in community service events, and is so loved by the students he assists that they ask for him by name.

The Powhatan High School JROTC has five exceptional education students.

“Mr. Cook always takes extra time with them to assist with their uniforms or to ensure they have notes written down to take home to their parents. On a monthly basis, he takes a young man with physical limitations bowling and out to eat at one of the local restaurants,” Cook’s JROTC instructor said.

Cook participated in the JROTC Saber and Drill teams as well as the JROTC Color Guard. He also works part time outside school.

Organizers at the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA are struggling to find volunteers to staff one of the largest and most important programs it offers every year.

Learn to Swim is one of the largest programs offered at the Powhatan YMCA, serving more than 300 children in the community with basic swimming and lifesaving water safety skills, according to Andrea Tobin, aquatics director.

In about three weeks, the YMCA will have 210 children from Pocahontas and Flat Rock Elementary schools combined coming through its doors for a six week time frame.

“The only way each child will be successful in learning these skills is with enough instructors and volunteers,” she said. “The staff at the Powhatan Y are still in search of several dedi-

cated volunteers. Currently learn to swim is extremely short staffed.”

Over these six weeks each child will learn to confidently put their face in the water, as well as the basics of free style and backstroke. They will also have an entire lesson dedicated to

not give these children the amount of attention they need to retain their skills, Tobin said.

“It is also extremely unsafe for this ratio to occur. Any swim lessons we offer must be kept at a 1:5 ratio to ensure safety and progression of the students,” she said.

teaching them about life jackets, boat safety and what to do if a friend is in trouble, Tobin said.

These are all extremely important lifesaving skills that every child needs, Tobin emphasized. If each child is going to learn these skills, and retain this knowledge they need the appropriate attention.

“Swimming is a repetitive, muscle memory skill. Without the right amount of attention children will not retain these skills,” she said.

The YMCA has 25 to 30 children coming in at one time and only two instructors to give the lessons. This instructor to child ratio of 1:15 will

Tobin is looking for community support in the form of volunteers who are willing to get in the water and help the children learn to swim, Tobin said.

“This is an amazing outreach program that I know none of us want to see become unsuccessful,” she said. “This program involves the lives and safety of the precious children in our community. Each child deserves the chance to learn these water safety skills and be given this opportunity.”

People who are interested in becoming a volunteer may call 804-5980250 and as for Andrea Tobin.
