School board debates salary issues By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A week before the Powhatan County School Board was set to approve its budget, a question of what to do with unexpected extra state funds led to a heated discussion on the board’s entire philosophy on how to address salary inequality. A last-minute workshop on Wednesday, March 16 that started with a discussion on an additional $68,813 allocation in state funds soon turned into a debate on how pay raises for teachers and other staff should be tackled. The General Assembly approved a 2 percent pay raise for teachers. While the board did eventually come to a consensus that all employees should receive a minimum 2 percent increase, where their views started to differ was on how to address targeted pay raises to certain groups

POWHATAN – The Powhatan Lions Club this month marked 40 years of service and fellowship in a gathering that celebrated the old as it looked forward to the new. The local chapter of the worldwide charitable society marked its special milestone with a celebratory dinner on Wednesday, March 2, four decades to the day since it was chartered on March 2, 1976. President Jim Washburn, one of the charter members, said the Lions Club has been the greatest opportunity he has ever had to serve the community and the fact that the local chapter has lasted so long is a testament to that purpose. “We serve. That is our motto. It is a group of people that have gotten together

and used their talents to help the blind and deaf in Powhatan County as well as throughout the world,” he said. Dozens of current and former members and guests gathered at the anniversary dinner on March 2 at The County Seat to commemorate the special day. Washburn said the international organization usually recognizes clubs that reach 50 years, but joked that since he wasn’t sure if he would still be around then, Powhatan’s group would mark the 40th, too. Washburn said he is one of four remaining founding members, a group that also included Elwood Yates, Jim Blandford and Larry Lyons. The charter group had 25 members, and today the club has about 50 members. The keynote speaker for the evening was Lee Winder, district governor, who

started off by reminding guests of the original mission statement of the Lions Club International when it was organized in 1917: to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding through Lions Clubs. “I think that is very descriptive of the services that this club brings us,” he said of the Powhatan group. This club is a foundation and a block to Powhatan with all of the services it renders, Winder said. He pointed especially to the hundreds who the club has provided with eye exams and eyeglasses. “Where would some of those people be and what quality of life would they have if this club hadn’t stepped forward and helped see LIONS page 2A

It is important to recognize all of those services the club has provided and the good it has done for 40 years, he said. Winder said he was honored to be the one to install the club’s newest member, Teresa Hash Dobbins, inducting her into a club with 1.4 million members in 210 countries. Powhatan County Board of Supervisors chairman Bill Melton also attended and read a proclamation in honor of the club passed at the board’s meeting on Feb. 22. In the proclamation, the club was praised for many of the services Winder mentioned in his speech but also for being instrumental in helping to establish Powhatan Habitat for Humanity with sizable donations, serving on the board, volunteering with home construction, and providing manpower and materials to build handicap ramps and make minor home repairs for qualifying homes.

The evening also brought back three past presidents to be recognized: Bob Wood, Dave Norsworth and Boll Dodd. Another special moment of the evening was the awarding of a Melvin Jones Fellowship to Washburn. The club can offer the award to a member of its choosing because of a donation of $1,000 to Lions Club International. Washburn said it “stands with the top awards I’ve ever received in my life.” Mike Jones, immediate past president, said it was a great anniversary celebration and showed that the club is “vibrant, strong and has a commitment to continue to serve the community.” The reason I joined was that I had never given anything back to the community. I looked around at some of the service organizations and they seemed to be the most vibrant and the most active,” Jones said. “That is why I joined and that is why I stay there – the feeling of doing something for the community.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

He also talked about the Powhatan chapter’s good works, including supporting organizations that provide service dogs; funding Christmas Mothers; offering visual screening to Powhatan schools; supporting local volunteer and rescue squads; donating to local charitable organizations; providing scholarships to public and private school students, collecting used eyeglasses and hearing aids for recycling, and cleaning up roads. He praised the group’s role in two major Powhatan events – as organizers of the Powhatan Labor Day parade and shuttle drivers at the Festival of the Grape.

Case against Tucker continued to September By Laura McFarland News Editor

A Powhatan General District Court last week approved a continuance until Sept.9 in the case of assault and sexual assault charges against Powhatan County supervisor Carson Tucker. Chief 11th District Judge Mayo Gravatt approved a joint motion submitted by special prosecutor Frank LaRuffa and Tucker’s attorney, Anthony Troy to have the trial date, which was previously to take place on Friday, March 11, moved to Sept. 9. The motion, which was filed on Friday, March 4, stated “the parties are in agreement that additional time is required in order to properly prepare for, and further explore, the issues in this case.” The joint agreement simply is regarding a continuance, and beyond that, everything is the same, Troy said. Other than confirming there is was an agreed order put before the

judge to continue the case, LaRuffa, who is a deputy commonwealth’s attorney for Chesterfield County, said the case is still pending so he can’t comment on specifics. A special prosecutor was appointed after Richard Cox, Powhatan County’s commonwealth’s attorney, recused himself. The motion continues two different charges brought against Tucker. In December 2015, Michelle Whitehurst of Powhatan filed a criminal complaint for sexual battery in the Powhatan County General District Court that alleged Tucker touched her on “the back, buttocks and legs on the right side” in two incidents that happened within a few minutes of each other. The incidents are alleged to have occurred at a Christmas party held on Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2014, at Belmead Mansion in Powhatan. Another warrant was executed on Jan. 20 by a Virginia State Trooper that alleged Tucker assaulted Whitehurst on Feb. 8, 2015.

for a good chunk of the day were many regulars who, when told what to do on a project, “they do it, no complaints.” The fact that the organization could help with the food pantry, which will touch so many lives, is absolutely wonderful, he said. “Like building a house, it is a wonderful cause, but it will serve 300 plus families a month,” he said. Currently, Habitat doesn’t have any homes under construction, so coming out to help with the food pantry allowed volunteers to get involved during a typically quiet time, Russ Melroy, president of Habitat’s board, said. But besides the serious work of the building work at hand, the volunteers were having a good time while getting a chance to help others. “I had no problems getting volunteers,” he said of the March 12 workday. “I sent out an email and got responses back right away. “ Jimmy Sowers, who is supervising the food

pantry building project, said seeing a group like Habitat, which is made up of volunteers from across the community and different churches, working on the project was fitting. “That is the whole idea. Habitat, by bringing the churches to work out here, is doing a great service to the community,” Sowers said. The business community has responded as well by donating many of the materials for the building to help keep costs down, he said. This has helped the project move at a good pace. Last week, the roof was put on and the cupola enclosed, Sowers said. Enclosing it allows for work to be done on mechanicals such as electrical and heating and other interior features. People driving by can already see the basic design of the building, which was made from the same plans used for the Plainview Office Center, which is his development. “We wanted to do

something that wasn’t just a metal building – something that looked nice for the church and the community. We wanted them to be proud of the building,” he said. The 2,000-squarefoot building is expected to be finished in a few months, depending on the weather, and have a final price tag of about $125,000, Lewis said. So far, organizers have raised about $110,000. However, this does not include the cost of outfitting the inside, he said. The higher price items will be having a walk-in refrigerator and a walk-in freezer, shelving and a large scale to weigh donations from major grocers. But when those challenges have been met and the food pantry opens its doors for the first time, staffed by volunteers of different faiths who only want to help, the true work will begin, Lewis said.

JOHN PRENDERGAST John Joseph Prendergast of Powhatan, passed away on Saturday, February 6, 2016, surrounded by family and close friends. He was born October 7, 1934, in Mt. Kisco, New York, to Patrick and Patricia Hegarty Prendergast, who originally were from County Cork, Ireland. He was educated at Archbishop Stepinac High School, Fairfield University and Georgetown University Law School. He was a proud Marine 1st Lieutenant, serving in Japan and the Philippines. He practiced law in Alexandria, from 1962

until 1995, when he retired in order to pursue other adventures. He and his wife, Ellen, moved to Watkins Glen, New York, where he became a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hobbyâ&#x20AC;? farmer and also served the community in a number of capacities. John and Ellen moved â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? to Powhatan in 2006 in order to be close to many of their wonderful grandchildren. He was a member of Powhatan United Methodist Church, member of the Powhatan Lions Club, the Ma- PRENDERGAST rine Corps League, and Joint Leadership Council for Veterans Affairs. John is survived by his wife, Ellen; five children and two stepdaughters, JF Prendergast (Heather), Mary Prendergast, Katie P. Willis (Preston), Patrick Prendergast, Ellen P. Kennedy (David), Catherine Fierro (Joseph) and Linda Hensley (Darrell). This clan has produced 14 grandchildren, who were a great joy to him: Kenleigh, Larkin, Declan, Haidyn, Courtney, Sean, Killian, Preston III, Cullen, Miles, Joseph, Paul, Charlotte and Garrett. He was also the great-grandfather of Brooke. John was the somewhat curmudgeonly patriarch of the family and will always be remembered by us for his humor, character, courage, generosity and love. A memorial service was held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 19 at Powhatan United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of your choice in his memory would be appreciated. MARJORIE SCOTT Marjorie Orear Scott, of Midlothian, died on Sunday, March 6, 2016. She was a native of Kansas City, Missouri, a member of Salisbury Presbyterian Church and Salisbury Country Club, where for many years she was an active member of the Nine Hole Golf Group. She is survived by her daughter, Margaret Sue Peek and husband, William, of Midlothian; daughter, Patricia Anne Mulherin and husband, Stephen, of Powhatan; son, Harold Hersman Scott III and wife, Mary, of Clarksville, Maryland; six grandchildren, Christopher and Kevin Peek, Caitlyn and Connor Mulherin, Chloe and Samuel Catlett Scott; and two step granddaughters, Sara and Elizabeth Parr. Her husband, Harold Hersman Scott Jr.; and her brother, John Catlett Orear, preceded her in death. She also leaves two sisters-in-law, Mary Virginia Baker and Shirley Payne of Fulton, Missouri.

SYLVIA PAXTON Sylvia Louise Margaret Paxton, 12, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 11, 2016 at her home in Powhatan after a long struggle with cancer. Born May 18, 2003 in Kettering, Ohio, she was the daughter of Eric Paxton and Elisabeth Furman Paxton. Sylvia was a seventh grade student at Powhatan Junior High School. She loved art, reading, and writing and had a highly expressive vocabulary. Sylvia loved animals, especially her golden rePAXTON triever Harley, and planned to be a veterinary assistant when she grew up. Her fierce determination to maintain a positive attitude, unwavering and constantly deepening faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love and prayers of family, friends, and many supporters carried her through four years of life with cancer after her initial diagnosis in 2011. Even throughout her own struggle, she sought to help others who were also affected by the disease by conducting multiple fundraisers in support of cancer research. Sylvia was an inspiration to many who will miss having her as part of their lives but will rejoice that she is free of her disease and celebrating her victory in heaven. Sylvia is survived by her loving parents, Eric and Elisabeth Paxton of Powhatan; brother, William Paxton; maternal grandfather, Joel Furman of Sunbury, Pennsylvania; paternal grandmother, Sylvia Paxton of St. Albans, West Virginia; aunts, Anne Furman Lamb of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Heather Furman Palladino of Philadelphia, and Jennie Paxton Henthorn of St, Albans; uncle, Reid Furman of Arlington, and cousins, Isabella and Nicholas Palladino, Margaret and Reid Furman, and Andrew Henthorn. Visiting hours were held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 19 at Bennett and Barden Funeral Home, 3215 Anderson Highway, Powhatan. A memorial service was held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 20 at Old Powhatan Baptist Church. As an alternative to flowers, donations may be made to: Old Powhatan Baptist Church, 2202 Old Church Road, Powhatan, VA 23139 for Youth Missions Scholarship Fund or Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heroes Foundation at www.connorsheroes.org/donate/support-connorsheroes.

Lack of public involvement in budget, CIP continues By Laura McFarland

on how many of their constituents feel a certain way, they may be influenced by a number of people calling with the same complaint. But what about the rest of the representatives on those boards? Do all five supervisors know how you feel about the renovation of Powhatan Junior High School? How about the county potentially taking out $57.7 million in bonds? How about the proposed budget, which currently sits at almost $56.8 million? Do the supervisors know how you feel about the tax rate? Did you realize that on Monday, March 21, they committed to vote on what rate to advertise, which is setting the maximum rate they could possibly approve? Did you realize that options on the table include 85 cents, which would equate to the taxes you were paying before, something a few cents lower or even as much as 90 cents, a rate discussed that would allow the county to address capital needs? I’ve been to enough of these meetings to know they are not well attended. A meeting with some recognitions or a band performance might start out with a filled auditorium at the Village Building, but – as soon as those are taken care of – the room goes back to its usual sea of mostly vacant chairs. On Monday, Feb. 22, the board of supervisors gave the green light for plans to move ahead on the renovation and rebuilding of the junior high school into a new middle school and the construction of a water tower for fire suppression. It was a vote worth $35.4 million in bonds. Although a few people spoke in the public comment period, not a single person spoke during the public hearing. Carson Tucker, District 5, summed up my reaction best when it was obvious no one was walking toward the microphone. “Please, we are talking about $35 million. Somebody say something,” he said. The really daunting fact is, while the vote only turned out to be giving tacit agreement to moving forward on a $35.4 million project, it was advertised as a public hearing to discuss the entire CIP and listed at $71 million. And, if they had been so inclined, giving the green light to $71 million worth of proj-

o you ever sit in a meeting, movie (insert situation), and something happens that makes you want to look around and say, “Really, that’s OK with everybody

here?” With all of the meetings this writer attends, especially during Powhatan County’s spring budget season, it’s happened a few times. Sometimes that feeling is directed at the men and women leading those meetings. But this year, more than a little bit has been directed at the citizens of Powhatan. Let’s get something out of the way. As the newspaper of record for the county, it is the news editor’s job to attend important meetings that have the potential to impact a large number of or even all Powhatan citizens. So, if between the board of supervisors and the school board, they schedule meetings on three out of five weeknights, it’s almost a given that I will attend all of them. Some of the meetings are interesting. Some are not. Whether it is zoning ordinances or budgets, sometimes the facts and figures are just what they are. But, whatever the issue, it can be very important because of the implications it has for Powhatan residents. With that in mind, it has been really interesting to watch during the last few weeks the almost complete lack of public involvement, at least at the meeting level, in the process of hammering out the county’s fiscal year 2017 operating budget and deciding what projects should move forward on the five-year capital improvement program (CIP). Granted, supervisors and board members have alluded to phone calls they are receiving from citizens about different issues. That is awesome. Keep it up. Keep asking those questions and weighing in. But don’t forget to come to the meetings and let all of the supervisors know how you feel. Your district’s supervisor is one vote of five. Your district’s school board member is one vote of five. Depending

ects was one of the board’s options. No one said a word. The board of supervisors held off its decision to decide on an advertised real estate tax rate until March 21 for the express purpose of getting more information to make an informed vote. That event happened after this column was written and the newspaper went to press. So, as I write this, I don’t know what they decided to do or if there was a sudden influx of public opinion willing to step up to the podium and give their two cents on the issue. What I do know is that while the county staff’s reports on revenue projections and presentations on bond interest rates are really important, so too is the opinion of Powhatan County taxpayers. The really important times to speak are still to come. At the board of supervisors’ meeting on April 18, there will be public hearings on the budget, the revenue rate increases, the CIP, the bond issue and budgeting and appropriating the bond and CIP projects. Then, on May 2, the board holds another public hearing on the real estate tax rate; adopts the budget, the real estate tax rate, the revenue fee schedule, and the capital improvement program (CIP); and authorizes the bonds and budgets and appropriates the bond projects and the FY 2017 CIP projects. Both of those meetings begin at 6 p.m. at the Village Building. Come say something that shows the residents of this county aren’t just voting once every four years to put candidates in office and then giving them carte blanche to spend taxpayer dollars without any input. These men and women have taken on a heavy responsibility to carry when they are deciding how to spend millions of taxpayer dollars. Take some of the load off by giving them the piece of information they aren’t going to find on a spreadsheet or PowerPoint presentation: your voice saying how you want them to proceed.

LET THE SUN SHINE IN By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

n 2002, a group of Florida editors organized Sunshine Sunday to combat and expose a glaring number of restrictions to open government initiated by the state’s lawmakers. Their efforts didn’t go unnoticed, and – thanks to increased public awareness and citizen’s pressure on legislators – the trend changed. The Florida Society of Newspaper Editors estimate they have defeated more than 300 attempts to limit open government in the three years that followed, each one highlighted with a Sunshine Sunday. In 2005, the American Society of News Editors launched its expanded version called Sunshine Week, designed to highlight threats to your right to open government. Most newspaper employees are well aware this is national Sunshine Week – a date designed to coincide with James Madison’s birthday on March 16. Since its inception, Sunshine Week has attracted numerous supporters involved in the public’s right to know. In 2011, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press joined with ASNE in the program’s sponsorship. It’s easy to understand why journalists appreciate any and all efforts to preserve their right to conduct business in an open and transparent atmosphere, absent of the smoke-filled rooms of yesteryear. As Sunshine Week gains more support and attention each year, the project is embraced by many government officials and everyday citizens who

take responsible pride in their right to know. Like other Americans, Virginians have benefited from Freedom of Information laws, and information once hidden is now part of the open record and open to investigation. Journalists routinely depend on FOIA to get to the bottom of complicated issues or validate suspicions. The laws also are open to citizens, and many have filed requests in the past decade. Many have led to eye-opening investigations where government sought to hide information or bury incriminating information. The recent crisis in Flint, Michigan, is a perfect example of highlighting the critical role that FOIA rules provide. Michigan state officials were less than forthcoming when the problem first surfaced more than a year ago. Through persistent and legal avenues, facts gathered through FOIA requests have at least provided the tip of a massive iceberg comprised of secrecy, deceit and government that is not open and transparent. We have a right to know, but, more than that, we have a responsibility to know. The founding fathers realized that democracy does not flourish without sunshine. They appreciated and recognized the important role of the press in keeping a government fraught with human frailty honest. Transparency ensures that we all get a fair shot in a system that often overlooks some, and rewards others. Keeping FOIA laws strong and unburdened with countless exemptions is vital not only in maintaining high standards for journalists, but are necessary to ensure the integrity of our system … for each and every citizen.

RESPONSE On March 9, 2016, the Question of the week was “If you have followed the ‘MOU issue’ at all, what do you feel is the correct action to take?” The county should have respected the wishes of the constitutional officers, and the courage of the clerk of the court office, and her employees, and not forced signatures. The county should not have met with any constitutional officer separately to negotiate. Any negotiations should only be with all officers present. I still do not understand what the county stands to gain by forcing these signatures to the county handbook. I believe any problems that may occur because of not signing could be dealt with individually and directly, without causing such distrust. I do appreciate those who spent time trying to explain the reasons to me. Response from Laura Graham, Powhatan County

Chamber Continued from page 1A

latest session when they spoke at a recent Powhatan Chamber of Commerce lunch. Guest speakers Sen. Glen Sturtevant Jr., R-10, and Del. Lee Ware, R-65, filled more than 65 local business people in on the challenges and triumphs of the 60-day session in an informal tag team style presentation at the luncheon on Thursday, March 17 at the County Seat. The meeting featuring the state representatives is always the most well attended, Angie Cabell, the chamber’s executive director, said. In addition to talking about the actions taken in the state government, Ware presented Sturtevant’s predecessor, John Watkins, with a resolution from the House of Representatives honoring his service. Ware said that the tag team style he used with Watkins in addressing chamber members each year worked well with Sturtevant as well. Throughout the roughly 30 minute talk and then question and answer, the two men addressed a variety of issues.

State budget The long session is when the General Assembly considers the two-year biennial budget, which is probably the “biggest single item we consider,” Ware said. For the second day in a row, they finished a day early and had a “very businesslike” and “fairly low key” session. “We will return April 20 to consider the governor’s vetoes, but given the speed with which we considered legislation this time, he’s got a lot less to plow through and consider for amendments and vetoes,” Ware said, referring to Gov. Terry McAuliffe. The budget does not include increases in fees or taxes, and the revenues are rising modestly, which is a good sign, Ware said.

“When tax revenues are rising for us, it means that the economy of Virginia is percolating along and doing at least as well if not better than it has been in the previous year collectively,” he said. “There are some positive signs among what continues to be what I would call a feeble recovery. But the positive ones allowed us to do several things that I think are pretty significant in the budget.” Ware said that for him, the structural items are the most important and restoring structural balance that was lost during the recession. He pointed to the decision in 2010 to defer putting money into the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) but putting an IOU there for that payment plus interest. This year the General Assembly was able to accelerate by six years complete repayment and in this budget cycle will be able to repay the money with interest, Ware said. He also talked about action taken on the accelerated sales tax, which was a “gimmick” used to get through the recession by having retailers pay their anticipate July sales tax a month early. It was a “great one-time shot in the arm” when the state really needed the money, “but it really put a crimp on retailers.” That accelerated sales tax has been unwound steadily and slowly, he said. In his first session in the General Assembly, Sturtevant said he sees what has come out as a “sound, fiscally conservative” budget that allowed the state to do some things it hadn’t been able to in awhile. He gave examples of a 2 percent pay raise for school teachers and a 3 percent pay raise for state employees and troopers. “There are some good things in there to help lift us out of the doldrums of the economic malaise that we’ve been experiencing for many years,” Sturtevant said. One of the big wins for many people regardless of what side of the aisle they are on came around

I am honored to take this journey

with my students at Flat Rock Elementary,” EamesJames, an avid reader, said. As a member of the advisory board, Eames-James will have the opportunity to influence various aspects

of the Scholastic Reading Club, including product selection, pricing, monthly promotions and special offers. Eames-James will utilize her 29 years of experience in the classroom to work with teachers across the country to help Scholastic stay abreast of the current trends in education. “The importance of reading cannot be stressed enough. I applaud my colleague in her relentless efforts to promote the gift and love of reading to our young learners,” Tanja Atkins-Nelson, principal of Flat Rock Elementary School, said.

gun legislation, he said. In December, attorney general Mark Herring “essentially undid all of the conceal carry reciprocity agreements that we had with about 25 or 26 states, which means if you were traveling outside of Virginia those states would not recognize your conceal carry permit from Virginia.” In a bipartisan compromise, McAuliffe and the Republican legislature came together to find a pathway forward to get back that reciprocity and to extend it to even more states. At the same time if somebody is subject to a protective order for domestic violence, they are not going to be able to have a gun in their household, he said. State police will also be at gun shows to provide voluntary background checks, Sturtevant said. “Both sides of the issue didn’t get everything they wanted, and the way things work you rarely do. But it was a way to have everybody kind of come together and get some things they were looking for,” Sturtevant said.

“We did not get wind of this in any significant way until budget discussions were well under way and it was sort of a budget amendment rather than something stated straight out in legislation,” he said. They have been in touch with Andy Block, director of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice, who has promised to both meet with county leadership and hold a public meeting. Ware said he wants to keep an eye on that because there are a number of questions raised for him in closing a high level security facility. A wireless broadband study committee has been set up to look at 5G wireless provision in the commonwealth, Ware said. He said he will be chairing the committee and the first meeting is April 18. “There are a lot of technical questions to be answered but it is a significant initiative and I am really looking forward to it because I’ve heard from a lot of folks about that need for their business,” he said.

A great deal of effort was spent to try to reform that system, but it “was a credit to the lobbying core that they were effectively able to kill that legislation, unfortunately,” he said. “So we were not able to get reform of that this year, although I am hopeful we will be able to come back next January and try to find some reform to help inject a little bit more competition into the health care sector to help make health care affordable for more folks.” On a more positive note, legislation to allow direct primary care agreements will help smaller businesses that want to provide health care benefits but can’t afford to go into the market with the large companies. Business owners can sign an agreement with a primary physician in their area to provide care. “That was lobbied against pretty hard by the insurance companies but we were able to get it through and hopefully it will get passed. It is another way to help open up health insurance to more people,” Sturtevant said.

Local issues

Health care

Answering questions

Ware said he has been trying to get a study resolution for industrial sludge, an application that is used on farmlands across Virginia and notably many places in the 65th District. He said he has had a great deal of keen interest from citizens and boards of supervisors about that. It is a new application that is cost effective for farmers, but there are concerns about what is in it, Ware said. The Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission will do a study of that and of what is in that industrial sludge that is being land applied across the commonwealth. Closer to home, Ware said he and Sturtevant learned very late in the process about the closing of Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center. The governor’s administration planned to reconfigure juvenile holding facilities like Beaumont for young male inmates.

There were a number of health care related issues this session, the biggest of which was reform or repeal of certificate of public need, Sturtevant said. Presently, to open an ambulatory care center, MRI imaging center or a hospital of some sort, in most cases the applicant has to go to downtown Richmond and get approval from a bureaucracy that has the ability to say yes or no. As part of that process, the hospitals that the applicants would be competing with “get to come in and weigh in on whether or not they want to have the competition,” he said. “So as you might imagine, that makes it much more difficult to have that sort of competition, which I think in my view helps keep costs down, drives down prices, and with health care that is something we sorely need,” Sturtevant said.

The two state representatives also set aside time to answer questions from the luncheon attendees. One attendee pointed out that when the session started, the governor put a bill out with a very aggressive package for state parks, but as the session went on “the legislature was lukewarm to that project.” He wondered why. Ware pointed out Virginia has 36 state parks and the governor in his proposed $2.4 billion bond package wanted to add two more to that and accelerate the upgrade on several of them. Ware said the legislature ended up with a $2.1 billion bond package and it does have funding for the next phase of improvements at Powhatan State Park, including cabins. “I think it’s a question of priorities. I don’t think the legislasee CHAMBER page 9A

ture had the taste for the same level of borrowing as the governor. I think that was one part of it. And I think a governor, by virtue of having one term to do things is going to tend to want to be in a hurry to accomplish things,” Ware said. “We just took a different view; I like to think maybe a longer view, both on borrowing generally and what are the comparative needs for say education funding or other priorities that we had.” Someone asked if there was any news on Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission’s studies on corporate income tax, BPOL and more. Sturtevant said he had a couple of tax cut bills he put in to lower the personal income tax rate and also a small business tax, and “you have never seen bills killed so quickly.” It is something he said he would keep pushing for. Ware said the governor proposed a reduction of corporate income tax from 6 percent to 5.75 percent, but it did not seem to people who reviewed it that the move would have much effect on the bottom line of most businesses in the commonwealth, so it wasn’t accepted either.

Salary Continued from page 1A

ing for support so they didn’t have to pay so much out of pocket. Based on the projections school staff worked on with lacrosse last year, when it was added as an unfunded varsity sport, with the contribution, the lacrosse association that runs the program should only be prepared to pay a little over $2,000 next year. The suggestion would more than meet the association halfway, he added. “It provides us another year of shared responsibility for the success of the program. What I would recommend asking as part of the updated (memorandum of understanding), which will include the financial commitments, is that we also ask that the Powhatan lacrosse organization not pass any of those costs onto the students, as they are currently asking for any of the participants to pay $200 to play,” Jones said. Staff recommended that the board put the remaining $53,602 into further decompressing the teacher salary scale. The district had compiled a 2015-2016 salary study comparison to look at how Powhatan County Public Schools salaries in a broad range of positions compared to how those same positions are paid in other localities. Each job has a list of salaries based on experience, and the study has been updated each year to reflect salary increases in all of the localities. In many of the job positions, Powhatan’s compensation ranks well below the median in the comparison, in several cases even ranking at the very bottom. The board has been trying to address compression and how to bring those highly underpaid positions up to closer to the median in their categories while also accepting that the project is a moving target. This is because even as Powhatan is giving a pay raise, other localities might be as well.

Proposed budget In the budget proposed by Jones and his staff, all teachers would receive a minimum 2 percent raise and then there would be targeted raises above that amount to bring some of those below the median in their categories up to it. The price tag put on this endeavor was $467,875 and includes the extra state funds he brought up at the beginning of the meeting. All other staff would also receive a 2 percent minimum raise with targeted adjustments made in some categories over that amount to get them closer to the median but not going more than a 5 percent total increase. The staff recommended allocating $385,969 to this endeavor. Chairman James Kunka, who represents District 2, started a discussion from there asking if that was the approach the board wanted to take. “Speaking for myself, my goal is to have fair compensation for all salary scales, as referenced by our peers … across the board. That is my ultimate goal,” he said. He pointed out that during the last budget cycle, the school board tried to target specific groups that are severely underpaid in comparison to other localities. They ended up capping how much those salaries were adjusted in an effort to put

The BPOL ought to be phased out because it is discouraging to business, Ware said, but also pointed out Powhatan County does not have such a tax. A woman asked about limiting the influence of lobbyists on the state law. Last year, there were fairly extensive ethics requirements that were put in place to effectively limit some of the socializing that occurs with lobbyists, which can lead to chumminess developing over time, Ware said. He pointed to the benefit of legislators like John Watkins, who had been around long enough that they have learned whose word can be relied upon and whose institutional memory can bring understanding of different perspectives they have come across, Ware said. “When it comes to specifics, I would say the ethics revisions that were done last year are the single most significant,” he said. Government was set up to have lots of competing interests and different factions all competing, “and that is how the cream rises to the top of what is a good idea and what is a bad idea,” Sturtevant said. “But I think at the end of the day, it is important to elect people who will not be influenced by folks who are down there lobbying on behalf of a particular industry or business.”

Honoring John Watkins

more than $200,000 in a capital project to address some of the district’s many capital needs. However, that meant the school board wasn’t able to achieve the level of correction members originally anticipated. Kunka got the discussion started by asking if the board was comfortable with the staff recommendation or wanted to try again to address those severely underpaid positions. Jones clarified that at one of the school board’s first budget meetings with staff, he felt there was a clear consensus that the district “needed to address all employees this time and that we needed to broaden the compensation that we were giving.” Valarie Ayers, District 3, said she supported the staff recommendation because she felt it did continue to address the disparities in pay for those particular groups. “I really think that is what we are doing this year. I think that maybe on an ongoing basis that is what we are going to have to continue to do,” she said. The conversation over the next hour included several members pointing out that in the future, they need to meet and decide as a board how to address salary

Hymel’s approach because it excluded so many other positions and ignored the people who are well below their median rates.

At the beginning of the luncheon, Ware surprised Watkins with a resolution that was passed in the House of Delegates to honor his years of service. It was House Resolution No. 183. Before Ware read part of the resolution, Sturtevant said it was an honor to follow in Watkins’ footsteps as a state senator and that he has talked to many people who miss him. Some of the accomplishments the resolution pointed out while Watkins had represented citizens of the 10th Senatorial District since 1998 included: the “introduction of some of the first legislation to establish the Virginia Geographic Information Network; reform of the Virginia Retirement System; improvement of the quality of water, particularly with regard to state funding for municipal wastewater treatment plants and, separately, legislation to establish a nutrient trading system for improvement of the quality of water in Virginia’s rivers and Chesapeake Bay; creation of the Virginia-North Carolina High Speed Rail Compact; a proposed plan for transportation improvements, without tax increases, that persuaded other leaders to produce an alternative proposal; authorship of legislation for farm wineries and farm breweries and funding

More ideas James Kunka talked about a system that didn’t increase salaries by percentages but by dollar amounts, always working to get everyone toward their median but setting caps they wouldn’t go over. The system could be compared to everyone sitting around a table and parceling out cards until they were all gone, but once individuals reached a certain cap, they would stop receiving cards. He said everyone would still get their 2 percent wages before the parceling out started. Other board members pointed out his would involve individually calculating all of the employees’ salaries, which would be time intensive and labor intensive for staff. They also agreed there would not be enough time to implement that kind of system before the budget needed to be approved. Jones said he had the concern that a one person staff in the finance department,

disparity issues system wide. In the meantime, they needed to make a decision about what to do about the coming year’s budget. Kim Hymel, District 5, pointed out the problems in getting and keeping bus drivers and that teachers are “in the trenches” and need to be compensated for all of their hard work. She recommended after all employees receive a 2 percent increase, the remaining amount be used for targeted pay raises for bus drivers and teachers. “I just think the two things you have brought to us all the time is the hard time getting bus drivers and the hard time getting teachers,” Hymel said. She clarified she thought other jobs in the school district are important but felt the bus drivers’ jobs of transporting students to school and the teachers’ job of educating them are the foundation. She suggested as much as a whole extra percent for all of the teachers, but it was pointed out that there weren’t enough funds to do that. She also mentioned pay for substitute teachers, but Jones said the school district had already made an adjustment to the pay rate for substitutes for next year and added Powhatan is “very competitive now with our surrounding districts in terms of what we’re paying substitutes.” Other board members raised issue with

Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations, and the human resources department could not handle such a time sensitive task. Kunka also talked about setting a higher cap for some of those underpaid positions to get them farther up their scales. “My reason for asking the questions was I personally felt that we didn’t achieve what we set out to do. Granted it wasn’t completely our control,” he said. “There was pressure to do what we did in moving that money into another category. I feel a sense a lack of accomplishment from that that is carrying into this year for me. Jones said he understands Kunka’s frustration and that “part of the issue is we are so far behind in so many categories that I don’t know that we can attack a small segment of our population of our staff and raise them up to the median. Because that is going to take several years with the funds that we have just to do a few groups. At that point you are then leaving behind the rest of your staff.”

Administrator conundrum Rick Cole, District 1, said he has had administrators coming to him and complaining they don’t want to be left out again with a scenario like that. For several years, school administrators have been re-

for the marketing of wines produced in Virginia; enactment of the first Digital Identity Law among all the States of the Union; legislation to authorize Transportation Network companies; legislation to remove the prohibition on uranium mining in the Commonwealth; and numerous bills advancing economic development and enterprise zones and improving services for the unemployed.” The resolution also pointed out that upon his retirement at the conclusion of 2015, Watkins was chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce and Labor and a ranking member of the chamber’s Committees on Finance, Rules, Transportation, and Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources. The resolution ends by saying Watkins will be “forever deserving of the sobriquet long ascribed to him by his fellow legislators of Virginia—The Gentleman from Powhatan.” Watkins said he was truly honored to receive the resolution and that it has been a privilege to serve the community. He said he doesn’t miss it being a senator but does miss the people. “I don’t miss the arguing part but I do miss the camaraderie and the mental stimulation you get,” he said.

peatedly cut out except for the 2 percent raise last year, he said. The staff’s proposed budget would rectify that. Cole handed out a salary comparison spreadsheet he put together comparing certainadministrative positions from Powhatan and other counties at the 10 years of experience mark. The scale showed monetarily why the Powhatan people in many of those job categories are at the bottom or almost bottom of the rankings in comparison to other localities. For example, an elementary school principal at 10 years experience would make $73,317 in Powhatan schools. Other comparable districts pay much higher, including Goochland, $88,483; Cumberland, $89,647; Fuvanna, $84,721; Louisa, $87,216, and Chesterfield, $94,381. The differences in salary range from a low of $11,404 to a high of $21,064. “I would like to get everybody up to the median, but if we are going to talk about salaries, we need to talk about this salary scale entirely because it is out just out of whack with what everybody in the region is doing,” Cole said. He went on to point out that bus drivers and teachers are important, but “leadership is critical and we are underpaying our leadership to the point where it is almost a crime.” Hymel and Cole debated this issue, with Hymel, a former teacher, taking that side and Cole, a former principal and current teacher, standing firm that he believes administration shouldn’t be left out. Joe Walters, District 4, pointed out addressing those administrator salaries, because they are higher, means dollar amount increases that are substantially higher than what teachers would receive. “Frankly, I don’t know that I disagree with it, to be honest with you, because I understand that they have a different type of responsibility. I just think that’s something that we ought to at least acknowledge that that’s what we are getting ready to do,” Walters said. “Because I don’t know about you, but that has been presented to me in the public before, that equity issue.” That is inherent in the distance they are from their targeted median and they are going to have to get those kind of raises somehow or they will never get there, Kunka said. Jones reiterated the importance of keeping good leadership in the schools and pointed out that “every teacher will be at the median and most of our teachers will be above the median as a result of the money that we currently have in the budget as part of this original plan.” He said he has worked with schools that didn’t have good leadership and people “could not imagine how much work it is and the pain that it causes a school community.” “I think we have to have good leadership in our buildings or we are shooting ourselves in the foot. We are going to have people leaving, one way or another, if we don’t at least show a commitment to starting to address this gap,” Jones said. A straw poll of the board had at least three members saying they would support the staff recommended proposed budget approach to salary scale adjustments.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot honored longtime Huguenot Academy coach Gary Brock with a ceremony at Parker Gym on Saturday. The Knights retired Brock’s No. 26 and he will be added to the planned Hall of Fame for Huguenot Academy.

Brock’s number retired by BSH By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

tories and memories were the theme of the day at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot on Saturday. Current Blessed Sacrament Huguenot baseball coach James Poore recalled a particularly strong mem-

ory he has of legendary coach Gary Brock during a phone interview on Sunday. Poore spoke of how his grandfather, with whom Poore was particularly close, passed away prior to getting the chance to see him play baseball at Hampden-Sydney College. “I remember I was really upset and really down,”

Poore said. “I remember they had a special thing at my grandmother and grandfather’s house after the service for people to come and pay respects to the family. One of the first people to show up at the front door was Coach Brock. It meant a lot to me. His relationships go far beyond the field. For all of those guys that were there

yesterday, he’s still a huge part of our lives.” That’s who Gary Brock is and what he meant to his players and it was very evident on Saturday at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, when Brock was honored by the alumni and the school for his contributions to the athletic programs. “He’s a great mentor,” Poore said. “He’s been in-

volved in special occasions with all of our families.” Brock was a coach at the school when it was known as Huguenot Academy from 1982-1996 as the head baseball coach. While baseball was his main sport, he also was a football coach as well. While a doubleheader against Alliance Christian was to be part of the fes-

tivities, the game was cancelled early on Saturday. The event went on as planned in the Parker Gym at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot and many alumni and their families were in attendance to honor their longtime coach. Yearbooks, newspaper clippings and photos served see BROCK page 2B

Indians win debut By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s Reagan Thomas (19) led the Indians with four goals in the program’s inaugural game against Fuqua.

Powhatan’s long wait for a VHSL high school sanctioned girls lacrosse team has come to an end. And, it came to an end in the best way. Powered by four goals from Reagan Thomas, the Indians won their first-ever regular season game as a high school team with a 15-11 win over Fuqua. “I think it was just my teammates knowing what was going on and being where they were supposed to be and having good ball

control,” she said of her four goals. “It’s mostly them, not me.” Fuqua got the first goal of the game just a minute in, but Powhatan’s Brooke Ford scored the first ever Powhatan girls lacrosse regular season goal to tie it at 1-1 with 21:47 remaining in the half. Faith Lawhorne scored three minutes later to make it 2-1 Indians. Fuqua answered at the 15 minute mark to tie it at 2. Hannah Raynor then scored for Powhatan to make it 3-2 before the Falcons went on a two-goal

run to take a one-goal lead. Thomas scored her first of the game with 10:57 remaining to tie it at 4, followed by Ashley Van Buskirk scoring to put the Indians ahead by one. Raynor got her second of the game after she shot and then it bounced off the back of the Fuqua goalie’s head and into the net to give the Indians a two-goal edge. “I think it was more of the aggressiveness,” Raynor said. “We didn’t see INDIANS page 7B

Robinson named BSH football coach By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

hen Charles Robinson heard about the opening for head football coach at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, he did what he’s done countless times when analyzing opposing defenses and evaluating talent on the field. He did his research. “I became very interested and intrigued by what I saw,” he said. What he saw was three things in particular that piqued his interest in the school. “One was definitely the people,” he said. “I think Blessed Sacrament has an administration, faculty, and staff that truly care about every student. To me, that’s really important. Two is that they’re a program looking to rebuild and get back to the success

as points of interest for the families prior to the ceremony. Memories and stories were swapped freely before Poore took to the microphone next to a large sign with Brock in block letters above the number 26, which will be retired and never worn again by anyone at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. The sign will hang on the left field wall at the Knights’ field and Brock will be the first inductee of a Huguenot Academy Hall of Fame that is being planned. “I thought the turnout was really good,” Poore said. “It was really special for all the guys that were there that had the opportunity to play for Coach Brock. I think it’s a great thing for the whole school. When I think of athletics of Huguenot Academy, the first person I think of is Coach Brock as far as coaching.” During the ceremony, Poore presented Brock with a sample of dirt in a jar from the baseball field, which Poore said was always in great shape when Brock was at the helm. Then, Brock took to the

that they’ve had. The third thing is the kids around campus, and I talked to some of the kids, they really care about each other and want to get their football program back to where it was. Anytime you have the chance to go to a place where kids care, where it’s an organic part of the school, that’s an opportunity you really want to be a part of.” Robinson’s interest and intrigue led to him applying for the position and, on March 18, he was named head football coach for the Knights from the 20 applicants considered for the position. “My initial reaction was a sigh of relief,” Robinson said about when he heard the news that he was selected. “My second reaction was an urgency to get the ball rolling. I think when a new coach comes in, there’s always a momentum surge. We’re start-

ing to see some of that on campus. I want to continue that. As a school, they’re doing some great things right now, so there’s already some momentum there and I’m just excited to be a part of that.” Part of keeping that momentum going is Robinson has already started getting ready for the fall season. “We’ve been getting to work,” he said. “We’ve been calling, emailing, watching film and everything else that it takes to get ready for the upcoming season. So, I would say we’re already rolling.” Robinson brings a diverse background of coaching experience to the Knights. He served as Offensive Coordinator/Associate Head Coach for St. Christopher’s. He was also the Athletics Coordinator for the Saints. Robinson also was a position coach at Lenoir-

microphone and spoke for almost 10 minutes to his former players. “I’m humbled and thankful,” he said. “I see so many great faces out there. It’s fantastic seeing you, it really is. I appreciate it so much.” Brock mentioned numerous times how much fun he had as coach. “I guess for all the fun we had, something must have come of it,” he said during this speech. “We had some great teams and some great kids and opportunities for young men who might have gotten lost in the shuffle somewhere else. But, they made a mark here. And we had fun doing it.” He talked about how he could stand at the podium “all day.” One story he brought up was about how one player one day went after a foul ball in the woods and came running back up the hill, screaming, after an encounter with a snake. “As we get older, as you all know, the stories tend to grow a little bit,” Brock said during his speech. “That catch you jumped for gets a little higher. When you ran down that fly ball, maybe you had five-two speed, but suddenly you ran a four-five.”

But, overall, Brock came back to how much fun he had during his time as coach. “It was a great time,” he said. “It was so much fun. I thoroughly thank each and every one of you. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot is just fantastic. This is where my roots are. I couldn’t think of doing it any other way.” Brock then thanked his family for their support before ending his speech and every alumni coming up to their coach and asking for another photo and swapping more stories. Those stories will carry on forever, just as Brock’s number will watch over PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN the Knights diamond as BSH coach James Poore presented Brock with dirt from the baseball field. long as it stands.

Rhyne University, a Division-II school in North Carolina. He played at RandolphMacon and has a B.A. in Sociology from RandolphMacon College and earned his Master’s of Science in Sports Leadership from Virginia Commonwealth University. He will also be a part of the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot staff as Associate Director of Athletics and Alumni Relations. Robinson replaces coach Ron Gundry, who has taken another coaching position at another school. The 2015 Knights had a rough season, fighting injuries, inexperience and lack of depth throughout the season. Robinson said that he’s all about discipline, organization, and physical and mental toughness are the key tenants of his football teams that he’ll bring to

Blessed Sacrament. One of those tenants is something that he said is already well represented in the program. “We have some tough kids,” he said. “They truly care about the program. They’ve had some turnover at the head coach position, so it’s a team that relies on each other. That was wonderful already, so it’s about shaping that.” The community of Blessed Sacrament is something that Robinson is eager to become a part of. “Coming from St. Christopher’s, community is really important,” he said. “When I looked at Blessed Sacrament, I saw a similar thing. They’re all about increasing that community feel and football is a key part of that, of not only the athletic community, but the community as a whole. We have a chance to play Friday night games

and those games should be one of the marquee events for the school community. That’s where you want to be. It’s a key tenant of the community, as sports so often are.” In a press release, head of school Paula Ledbetter said that she was grateful to the Blessed Sacrament community for their patience during the process. “The search committee and I were committed to finding the right person for this position,” she said in the release, “who will also contribute to the continuing growth of our overall athletics program. Coach Robinson’s professional experience, high level of professionalism, and enthusiasm for this opportunity will contribute to the long-term success and growth of our athletics programs and the BSH community as a whole.” Robinson will start his new role on July 1.

Indians girls soccer oďŹ&#x20AC; to rough start By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN

Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kylie Donnelly battles for control of the ball with Monacanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alyssa Faison at Powhatan High School on March 14. Monacan won 6-2.

owhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls soccer team started their season with two games this week, both at home. Unfortunately for the Indians, both games ended in losses. On Monday, the Indians took on Monacan at home to get both teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seasons underway. Monacan scored in the first half to make it 1-0, but Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense was able to hold the Chiefs at bay throughout the remainder of the first half. Then, soon after the second half began, Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Magen Palmore scored the first goal of the 2016 season with a rocket into the net, tying the game 1-1. However, after Palmoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep run into the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense, the Indians were unable to get any offense pressure going at all. Monacan was able to get that pressure going, and scored goals in the 44th and 48th minutes for a two-goal lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough in the first half,â&#x20AC;? Indians girls soccer coach Julie Posten said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hung with them right up until that defensive breakdown and they started popping goals in. I think they played really well.â&#x20AC;? Powhatan had a huge chance in the 64th minute when Monacanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie Melanie Hopkins misplayed a ball in the offensive zone and the Indians jumped on the chance. Powhatan was unable to capitalize on the loose ball as the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense was able to hold off the Indians and Hopkins corralled the ball in. Four minutes later, freshman Kaila Cook was able to get some pressure in on the Monacan defense, but no goal came of it. A free kick for Powhatan gave another shot in the arm of pressure in the Monacan end, but the Indians couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capitalize on the opportunity. Two more goals for Monacan made it a 5-1 lead for the Chiefs before Palmore got loose late in the match and scored her second goal of the game, a low line drive into the left corner. Posten said that both goals for Palmore were great for the Indians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The first goal) was

awesome,â&#x20AC;? Posten said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that second one was great when she topped it.â&#x20AC;? One goal just before the horn sounded for Monacan put the game to its final score of 6-2. It was a good early test for Powhatan, however, as Monacan is not only a conference foe, but one of the tougher teams that the Indians will face this season, according to Posten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m real proud of them. We have a lot to work on,â&#x20AC;? Posten said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we can see what we got. Now we know we are up against and hopefully we can see them again later in the year.â&#x20AC;? Communication and keeping the defense together were two things that Posten said the team needs to work on moving forward. On Thursday, Powhatan hosted district foe Monticello and fell 3-0. The Indians continued their season on the road against Dinwiddie on Monday, then hit the road for two more on Thursday at Western Albemarle and April 7 against Fluvanna.

Lacrosse asks school board for funding By Laura McFarland News Editor

Players, parents and coaches with Powhatan High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse program came out in force at the March 8 Powhatan County School Board meeting to seek school funding for their program. Several parents and students spoke to the board during set comment periods asking that as the members consider the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2016-2017 school budget, they consider adding funding for the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacrosse program. The program was added as a varsity sport this year on the condition that it was parent funded to see how it could do. However, with about $30,000 needed annually to fund both a varsity program for boys and girls teams, organizers knew they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until they were in the middle of their second year to wait to ask for funding to go into the next budget cycle, said Steve Somerville, one of the parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to raise (about) $30,000 which was estimated to fund both the boys and girls. We expect to accomplish that this year. However, to continue to do that year after year is going to be a burden to say the least, if not impossible,â&#x20AC;? he said. In larger school districts that also use the parentfunded model, it is easier to raise those kinds of funds, but in a county as rural and economically diverse as Powhatan, it is a real struggle, Sommerville

cording to Evans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working with them for three years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First year, we had a clinic. Two years ago we ran a middle school team. Like a junior JV squad. Some of these girls are still playing here today, which is great. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to recruit a lot now because we are VHSL. Our recreation program has exploded. Our high school level now has 20 girls on the roster, last year I only had 17 rostered. We have a lot of brand new players. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very thankful for what they have done.â&#x20AC;? That growth is impres-

meant a lot to Muss and the lacrosse family at Powhatan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of parents here, as you can see, that have been supporting us for three years as a club team, going to board meeting, petitioning the board, and we wanted to stick and stay. We want to see it grow even more to a JV and a varsity team next year.â&#x20AC;? The club team from last year lost nine starters. The 2016 team is led by juniors Parker Massengill on the attack, as well as Jalen Bouldin and Reid Johnson on defense. Juniors Sammuel Dennis

said. Somerville and other speakers thanked the school board for giving the lacrosse program a chance this first year but said they felt it would be a matter of inequality to not have it funded like other varsity sports moving forward. Girls varsity player Nailah Chambers said she and her team members have to fund more than $200 out of pocket to participate for what is now a school varsity sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since it is listed as a varsity sport, I feel that we should get the same opportunities and benefits as other varsity sports that are at the school,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will really help because Powhatan is ranked as one of the top schools. I think having the girls lacrosse team school funded would complete a circle of sports that we have at the school. Boys varsity player Dominic Stage said that being allowed to play on a team that loves what they do so much is amazing and to receive the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support would be even more so. He questioned being compared unfavorably with other varsity sports with established programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is almost like saying why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you go out and get a job that pays $80,000. It is a much more difficult process than that,â&#x20AC;? he said. Stage added he understands the board might be uneasy â&#x20AC;&#x153;throwing money into something when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it could be successful or not.â&#x20AC;? He pointed to the large crowd of lacrosse supporters,

many of them players, and said they came of their own free will, not at a coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about coming out here to support us and what we love because we want this to go as far as we can take it. And we are ready,â&#x20AC;? he said. School board members addressed the lacrosse issue during their own comment period at the end of the meeting and expressed a variety of views. Valarie Ayers, who represents District 3, said that while she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to come out and say to fully fund the lacrosse program, based on the success of their first year, she thought the issue warranted more discussion. Kim Hymel, District 5, reiterated her stance that the school board should â&#x20AC;&#x153;find the money somewhereâ&#x20AC;? to fund the lacrosse program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very discriminatory to not fund every sport. I feel very strongly,â&#x20AC;? she said. Rick Cole, District 1, said he understands that the lacrosse players feel they are not being treated fairly but their position is not the only one to consider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also hear oftentimes from the public who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any kids in school and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any students involved with any activities. They talk about fairness to them,â&#x20AC;? Cole said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it fair for the taxpayers of Powhatan to support one more sport, to support one more activity?â&#x20AC;? If money was not an is-

sive and Evans doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the sport is done growing in the county, which would have a direct impact on the high school team as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the sport in Powhatan is just going to take off. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown leaps and bounds. For the girls program, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to grow even more. I think that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have a JV and a varsity team within two years.â&#x20AC;? The 2016 Indians team will be led by Lawhorne, a senior, on the attack. Sophomore Reagan Thomas also will join Lawhorne on the attack. Juniors Brie Burgio and Hannah Raynor, as well as freshman Ashley Van Buskirk will take up the midfield. Alexis Evans will be the anchor of the

defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jaida Williams, our goalie, is brand new in the cage and she had a lot of good stops (against Monacan),â&#x20AC;? Evans said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alexis on defense will be able to get some ground balls and cause turnovers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be really effective. Our team working together will be key. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of girls that are new to the program. As they start to jive in our program, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see a lot of great things.â&#x20AC;? Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls lacrosse team begins their inaugural VHSL campaign on Thursday at home against Fuqua at 5 p.m. Billy Fellin can be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.

and Grayson Ledlie join sophomores Jeffrey Hoyt and Jacob Marshall in the midfield. Freshmen Jared Somerville and Corey Palmore will bring some youth and energy to the attack position for the Indians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually pretty young,â&#x20AC;? Muss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We graduated 12 seniors total from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. We have everything from freshman and sophomores to juniors and two seniors. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a young team. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to some strong leadership from my juniors.â&#x20AC;? After the game, Dominic Stage took the opportunity to savor the history of the moment by climbing up on a bench and taking a selfie with the entire

team. While the team is in its first season of VHSL eligibility, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that Muss and his coaches and players have anything less than high expectations for his team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? he said. Powhatan begins their first season of VHSL competition on March 21 at home against Midlothian at 6 p.m. The second game will be March 23 at home against Benedictine at 5 p.m. A big test for the young program will be against an established private school program at the Steward School on Apr. 14.

The Indians lacrosse program needs continued funding to be able to continue after this season.

sue and the school board had unlimited funds, he said, he would support funding them right then. Joe Walters, District 4, also agreed there is an equity issue when a parent who has children who participate in varsity baseball or football without paying anything out of pocket but then have to cover all the costs for lacrosse. Although he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the school board when lacrosse was accepted as a sport at the high school, he felt they started down a path and now parents â&#x20AC;&#x153;have an expectation that the board will move forward with some sort of support as we progress.â&#x20AC;? Chairman Jim Kunka,

District 2, said he sees both sides of the issue and would love to fund the lacrosse program, but he feels the same about many other programs where students have to put out money and fundraise, such as band. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent praised the lacrosse organizers for being accommodating throughout the process of working with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have, I believe, upheld that commitment, moving forward and starting a program really two years before we probably should have if we were going to implement it in a fashion that was sustainable, which is why we went with a parent funded

model, which is something that every other lacrosse program in central Virginia has done,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. He said his staff would work up some figures about what it would mean to add lacrosse funding to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget and bring it back to the school board. A few days after the meeting, lacrosse parent Jason Davis called and informed the Powhatan Today that the players planned to spend a good portion of Saturday making the fields where they practice at Powhatan Junior High School look nicer.

Part-time jobs for retirees - sports, crafts, consulting to name a few pon retiring, many newly minted retirees find themselves looking for ways to fill their free time. Hobbies may not take up too much time, and travel can stretch retireesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; budgets. One way that retirees can make great use of their free time and make a little extra money is to find part-time employment. Part-time jobs can help retirees maintain their connections with their communities, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their professional community or the community in which they live, while also providing a sense of purpose. Retirees interesting in finding part-time work may want to consider the following jobs. Consulting work: Many retirees have long resumes, and that experience is still valuable even after retirement. Consulting firms often hire experienced businesspeople on a project or contract basis, which can be great opportunities for retirees to fill their time and make sizable amounts of money without having to commit to long-term employment. Teaching: Retirees can also put their professional experience to work in the classroom. Inquire about teaching opportunities at a nearby university or even the local high school. Such opportunities may only be available on a volunteer basis, but

some might pay part-time salaries or small stipends. Either way, many retirees find that working with young people helps them stay young, and

passing on lessons learned to younger generations can provide a strong sense of purpose. Seasonal work: Seasonal work is another

great way for retirees to fill their time and make a little extra money along the way. Come the holiday season, retirees should have no trouble finding seasonal retail work at their local malls or shopping centers. In warmer months, retirees may find seasonal employment at area beaches, golf courses or parks. Sports teams: Retirees who live in cities with professional sports teams may be able to find work with their favorite franchise. Professional sports franchises often rely on retirees to staff in-game positions like ushers and concessions employees, and some may even hire retirees to greet fans. While the pay might not be great, such positions are ideal for retirees who happen to be big sports fans. Crafts: Retirees with a love of crafting can turn their hobby into income. For example, Etsy. com makes it easy for creative entrepreneurs to post their creations and sell them to buyers all over the globe. Sellers often dictate how quickly they can make and ship products, so retirees need not feel worried about being rushed. Many retirees still work even after calling it a career, and opportunities abound for men and women looking to fill their time and make a little extra money along the way. Metro Creative

Reasons to shop at small businesses ig box retailers may offer certain conveniences, but shopping at a small business near you can be more satisfying -- from the personal service received to the unique items you may find, not to mention that shopping on Main Street benefits the local economy. Here are some retail trends and other things to consider as you shop at your favorite small businesses.

The Local Economy By supporting small businesses, you are supporting local job creation. In fact, small firms accounted for over threefifths of the new jobs created between 1993 and mid-2013, according to government statistics. Spending your shopping budget locally strengthens Main Street and can help

your communityâ€™s economy thrive.

New Technologies A common stereotype of mom and pop stores are that they are antiquated and overpriced, but many small businesses are adopting new technologies to streamline their operations; which can be an important consideration for shoppers in a hurry or on a budget. New Android based point of sale terminals, such as the ergonomically designed V-R7000 and V-R7100 from Casio have widescreen LCD touch panels, and an intuitive, high-resolution interface for faster sales and fewer transactional snafus. For example, these terminals come equipped with a battery to protect memory data in the event of a power failure, and offer efficient store operations by

A Special Supplement to The Powhatan Today

eliminating common hardware problems experienced with PC based hardware. These information terminals can transform retail management and offer small businesses a chance to compete against their big box counterparts.

Exclusive Items From the gift shop with handmade crafts made by neighborhood artisans, to the bookshop selling the works of local authors, shopping at small businesses means encountering items on sale that you wonâ€™t find elsewhere. Whether youâ€™re redecorating your home or revamping your wardrobe, going local can help you get inspired. The next time you’re on a shopping spree, consider making a point of supporting your small, local businesses. StatePoint

Organize your home office and workspace hether you work full-time from home, or you simply have a space dedicated to paying bills and keeping your life in order, a home office should inspire productivity and happiness. After all, you’ll do your best work if you actually want to spend time in your workspace. Here, four business bloggers share their tips for home office success.

Invest a Few Dollars “The easiest way to start feeling more like a professional and less like an imposter is to invest in your home office,” says Cassie Boorn, guest blogger for Handmade Success, and the woman behind Maker Mentors, a free community designed to help creative entrepreneurs build business. “But there’s no need to spend thousands of dollars to create a great workspace. It can be as simple as a quick trip to Staples and done with a budget as small as twenty-five dollars.”

Evolve As your business evolves and grows, be will-

ing to make changes to your workspace. “The way I’ve been running my ‘business’ is from the perspective of a hustling freelancer. I was working a lot but there was no method to the madness. I had no structure,” says Vicky Ayala, brand strategist. She recommends creating a workspace both at home and on-the-go that complements what you want your business to be, paying attention to details. In her case, she equipped herself with supplies that fit the way she works -- a binding machine for customer handouts, a tablet and a briefcase that converts into a backpack. “Sometimes it’s the small things that help remind us of the bigger picture.”

Keep Goals in Focus “Have your plan in plain sight for constant review and reminders. Without it, it’s too easy to fall back into old routines and unproductive habits,” says Lisa Jacobs, a marketing consultant to small businesses and the blogger behind Marketing Creativity. Jacobs sets and tracks goals religiously by keeping a wall planner mounted in her home office. She used the copy and print services at Staples to bring her own planner calendar

design into reality.

The Brass Tacks “One thing that I have learned about myself over the years is that I perform at my best when I have an environment free of clutter. That means no extra stuff on my desk, on my walls or in my office,” says Andreea Ayers, the entrepreneur behind Launch Grow Joy, a business that helps entrepreneurs elevate sales. To beat the clutter, Ayers advises sticking to your essentials and thinking about multipurpose equipment that saves space. Her short list includes a stackable desk tray to sort and contain files, and a laser printer/scanner/copier that can do it all. For ideas for making your home office more productive, and for time and moneysaving business tips, visit www.Staples.com and follow the #MakeMoreHappen hashtag on social media. If you are creating a home workspace for the first time or revamping your current office, you can craft your own success by focusing on the details. -StatePoint

Job hunting? Careers and skills are in greatest demand this year nderstanding the evolving job market can help you focus your energy productively and land a coveted new job. The recently released 2016 Hot Jobs List, published by Randstad US, one of the largest HR services and staffing companies in the United States, sheds light on important trends and predicts the jobs in greatest demand for the coming year. Some hot areas include information technology, human resources, finance and accounting, office and administration, engineering, and manufacturing and logistics. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news -- experts say that across the board, job candidates can raise their expectations. So what are the most in-demand jobs and skills needed to secure employment in these fields? Consider the following insights and predictions from the Randstad 2016 Hot Jobs study: Engineers will be highly sought after this year to support innovative technologies, especially in sectors that have not typically required engineering talent in the past, such as healthcare and entertainment. Technology will continue to transform finance and accounting, presenting a tremen-

dous opportunity to elevate these types of roles. The key will be helping to shape company strategy through a comprehensive data approach.

succession and compensation planning and workforce engagement.

There continues to be a lack of skilled information technology talent, particularly in industries that deal with the increasingly complex issues related to cyber risk and business compliance. Companies will continue to seek those with soft skills, like strong writing and communication abilities. As the economy continues to improve, manufacturing companies are expanding their businesses. This will require an increase in highly-skilled talent. With industry workforce shortages, employers will need to consider different ways to attract and retain talent. The administrative role continues to evolve, particularly as new technologies are introduced into workflows. Additionally, many organizations are coping with baby boomers retiring at a rapid pace by advancing current employees into more senior roles, rather than replacing the positions outright. These trends create great opportunity for administrative talent. For full study results, including HR insights and salary projections, visit randstadusa.com/ workforce360.

t may not sound romantic, but couples planning a life together should develop an ongoing dialogue about money. However, not every couple takes this step before taking their relationship to the next level. Indeed, only about half of Americans feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know their significant otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit score before commingling finances, according to a 2015 Wells Fargo study. Yet, financial experts say that discussing how to handle joint finances is one of the best ways lovebirds can set themselves up for happily ever after. The experts at Wells Fargo offer these five important tips to keep in mind when thinking about money and your relationship:

Combining Accounts? A simple question requiring a joint decision based on your financial needs. Separate accounts let individuals maintain independence. Joint accounts can help unite goals. In either case, ensure your accounts combine to create an effective investment plan.

Realistic Budgeting Some say the key to financial success is spending what you have after saving, rather than saving whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left after spending. Many couples find themselves in the latter position because they lack a budget to control expenses. Couples should sit down and list combined monthly income and expenses; short and long-term goals, and strategies for sticking with the program.

Joint Credit A common misconception about credit is that when you get married, your partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit score may lower yours. While this is not true, it can affect your ability to access credit if you are seeking it jointly. Additionally, good credit is the foundation for a coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound financial future, and can help when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re applying for a mortgage or car loan, and, in some cases, a job. Maintain an open, ongoing dialogue: your credit score can change rapidly, and even missing a single payment can have an impact.

Making Purchases You may always apply for loan as an individual, but couples looking to do so together will find that most

lenders look at the credit history of both applicants and consider the average of both credit scores when approving a loan and setting an interest rate.

Ground Rules By sharing your individual financial goals with each other, you can get motivated to create a financial plan together, as well as ground rules to help you save and plan for emergencies. More financial tips and resources can be found at www.WellsFargo.com. Love and credit may not sound like a match made in heaven. In fact, talking about money can feel awkward. But when planning for a future together, these conversations lay the groundwork for happily reaching financial goals.-StatePoint

Tips to save money on paying debt ver extending oneself on highinterest rate revolving debt purchases is not uncommon. Indeed, U.S. households who use credit cards have an average of $15,799 in credit card debt, according to the non-profit Consolidated Credit Counseling. “If you’re not strategic about the way you make repayments, you could end up spending more paying down your debt, and at rates that may increase over time,” says Stephanie Cutler, vice president of Wells Fargo`s Personal Lines and Loans. If your high-interest rate revolving debt seems overwhelming or stressful, Cutler says to consider the following:

Consolidate Debt Juggling multiple high-interest rate debts can be costly and confusing. With a personal loan, which often comes with a lower interest rate than what credit cards offer, consumers can take funds from the loan and pay off highinterest rate revolving debt, maintaining one monthly payment at a potentially lower interest rate. Additionally, some personal loans are offered with no origination or prepayment fees, which can help save money in the nearand long-term. Personal loans from Wells Fargo, for example, require no collateral to qualify and credit decisions can be made quickly. The bank can even pay off creditors directly, giving customers an opportunity to begin paying down debt on better terms right away. With loan amounts from $3,000 to $100,000, customers can customize the loan based on the amount needed, and loan terms up to five years. “Rolling your debt into a single loan won’t immediately reduce your debt, but it does offer a single predictable monthly payment,” says Cutler. “Plus, having just one bill can make tracking and payments easier.” With what you may potentially save on monthly interest payments over time, you can increase your cash flow, savings, or pay down more of the loan’s principal balance to see your debt shrink even faster. (Incidentally, personal loans are also a way to finance a major purchase, unexpected expenses like home or automotive repairs, or even medical

Track Spending While consolidating debt, don’t forget to adopt and maintain savvy spending habits. Be sure to keep track of where your money is and how you’re spending it. Use budgeting tools online to display deposits and spending by category. This information can help you spend smarter and increase what’s left at the end of each month to direct toward payments on your loan principal. “Even a little extra can go a long way to paying down debt sooner and less expensively,” says Cutler. “Consider setting up online automatic payments from your checking account to make the process simple and stress-free.” To pay down credit card debt, consider all your alternatives with your lender and your personal spending habits. - StatePoint

Show administrative professionals they are appreciated usiness owners and bosses and high-level executives may have their names on placards or monogrammed stationery, but the most successful businesses tend to be those in which the entire staff, from the company president to administrative professionals and so on, works together. Administrative professionals, sometimes referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;admins,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; handle everything from spreadsheet generation to PowerPoint presentations to preparing schedules. Admins are often the unsung heroes of the workplace, and while they may not receive much fanfare, without the continued efforts of admins, businesses may grind to a halt. In recognition of the roles they play, administrative professionals have been honored during a special week each April for the past 60 years. Called Secretaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day upon its inception in 1952, the holiday was later expanded and the name changed to incorporate all of the employees who play pivotal administrative rolls in companies big and small. Managers and business owners may choose their employees, but the following ideas can breathe fresh life into festivities and help boost employee morale even further. Spring for coffee. Many employees require a caffeine buzz to get them through their busy days. The old pot in the break room may not deliver the best brews these days, and you can give employees another coffee fix to help them perk up. Check to see if independent coffee chains or even franchised businesses have to-go carafes. If not, consider purchasing a coffeehouse-inspired

Metro

coffee maker, complete with the capabilities to make cappuccino and lattes. Give the gift of time. What worker couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use a few extra days off? Show gratitude by renegotiating vacation and personal time schedules with administrative professionals. Be open-minded to alternate work scheduled if they may keep employees happy and better able to serve the company. Show your appreciation through letters or certificates. Professional-looking certificates are easy to come by because they can be produced right in the office with some desktop publishing software. Some office-supply stores also may carry preprinted certificates. A heartfelt thank-you letter also is something that admins may appreciate, as it shows employees their efforts are not being overlooked. Present tickets to a game or a show. Many supervisors are given perks, such as free tickets to popular sporting events or other sources of entertainment at nearby venues. Pass on these free tickets to special employees who may not be able to afford box seats or front-row tickets to local theater productions. Time pay raises to coincide with Administrative Professionals Week. Use this week as an opportunity to give bonuses or raises, rather than doing so at the beginning or end of the year. Administrative professionals do a lot to keep companies afloat and operating smoothly. Supervisors, managers and other higherups can take every opportunity to show their appreciation to these hard, yet often unsung, workers. -Metro Creative

Retirement saving for late bloomers oday’s young professionals hear about the importance of saving for retirement seemingly from the moment they are hired. In addition to discussions with human resources personnel about employersponsored retirement plans, young professionals are learning about the importance of saving for retirement thanks to the abundance of financialplanning advertisements on television, the radio and the Internet. Older workers may not have been so lucky, and many may find themselves trying to play catch up as retirement age draws closer. While it’s important to begin saving for retirement as early as possible, late bloomers whose retirement dates are nearing can still take steps to secure their financial futures. Pay down debts. Eliminating debt is good for men and women of all ages, but especially so for those nearing retirement. Substantial debt may delay your retirement and can greatly reduce your quality of life during retirement. If you still have substantial debt, eliminate that debt before you start saving additional money for retirement. Once your debt slate has been wiped clean, you can then increase your retirement contributions. Eliminate unnecessary expenses. If your retirement savings are low (many financial advisors now advise men and women that they will need at least 60 percent of their preretirement income each year they are retired), start cutting back on unnecessary expenses and reallocate that money

toward retirement saving. Cutting out luxury items, such as vacations to exotic locales or country club memberships, is one way to save money. But don’t overlook the simpler ways to save, such as canceling your cable subscription or dining at home more often. Downsize your home. Many empty nesters downsize their homes as retirement nears, and doing so can help you save a substantial amount of money. If the kids no longer live at home or if you simply have more space than you will need after retirement, downsize to a smaller, less expensive home. Monitor the real estate market before you decide to downsize so you can be sure to get the best deal on your current home. Downsizing saves on monthly utility bills, property taxes and a host of additional expenses. Downsizing also means less maintenance, which gives you more time to pursue your hobbies upon retiring.

Take on some additional work. While you may have long felt you would slowly wind down in the years immediately preceding retirement, taking on some additional work outside of your current job is a great way to save more for retirement and perhaps even lay the foundation for a post-retirement career. Workers over the age of 50 can be invaluable resources to startups or other businesses looking for executives who have been there, done that. Look for parttime jobs that seek such experience. Even if the initial jobs don’t bowl you over financially, part-time consultant work in retirement can make up for lost retirement savings and may even make your retirement years more fulfilling. Men and women on the verge of retirement can take many steps to grow their retirement savings and make their golden years that much more enjoyable. -Metro Creative

How to avoid unhealthy habits at the office ccording to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, working professionals spend an average of 8.5 hours per day at work. Many professionals spend much of their time at work sitting down in front of a computer, which can be detrimental to long-term health. Staying sedentary for long periods of time can contribute to a host of health ailments, including being overweight and obese. But professionals who work in offices can take various steps to ensure all that time at work is not having an adverse affect on their overall health. Get out of your seat. Modern workplaces are built around sitting, so workers must find some time to stand up and stretch. Sitting too long can compromise posture and lead to craning of the neck for looking at the computer screen. Get out of your chair, walk around the office and get the blood moving in your body. Pack your lunch. Bringing lunch to work puts you in greater control over the foods you are eating. You can pack a healthy and diverse selection of foods. DonĂ&#x2022;t forget to also bring some snacks that offer a healthy mix of protein

and carbohydrates to keep your energy levels up. Otherwise, you may succumb to the temptation of the lunchroom snack machine. Take frequent breaks. Stale air inside an

office environment can make you feel fatigued and less productive. Also, spending too much time behind your desk may contribute to feelings of stress and tension. Use every opportunity

possible to get up and leave your office. Instead of sending an instant message or making a phone call to a coworker, visit him or her in person. Use your lunch hour to get outside instead of eating at your desk. Plan a brief, mid-afternoon walk outside of your office to clear your mind and get some fresh air. Disinfect surfaces often. Oftentimes, when one person at the office gets sick, many others soon follow. Colds and the flu can spread rapidly in close quarters. Keep your desk drawer stocked with some alcohol swabs or disinfecting spray and routinely clean your keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, and desk surfaces. You also can wipe off door handles and knobs around the office if you want to be proactive. Rest your eyes. Close your eyes and look away from the computer monitor every 20 minutes. Focusing on objects of varying distances can help keep the eyes strong and reduce fatigue. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not difficult to remain healthy at work. Breaks, exercise and watching what you eat can help. -Metro Creative

Supporting a charity can benefit small businesses mall businesses are continually seeking ways to compete in ever-competitive markets. While they often fill a niche not easily met by larger corporations, small businesses sometimes find it difficult to gain traction in a community and fully showcase all they have to offer. Getting more involved in their communities, including working collaboratively with nonprofit organizations, can provide the boost small businesses need to connect with their communities. Many large companies boast programs that promote social responsibility and community involvement, and it can be a smart move for small businesses as well. There are plenty of ways small businesses can get involved with local charities. Find a good match. Consider working with a charity that has a connection to your business so that there is a common purpose. For example, a pet groomer may want to work with an animal welfare organization. Service-related businesses, such as law firms or accounting firms, can assist groups that offer services and business counseling to needy families. Landscapers may find a good fit with an environmental protection charity.

A highly visible way to support a charity is to host or support a fundraising activity. Small businesses can offer to collect donations at their offices or

stores. Warehouse spaces can be used to store supplies, while other venues may be ideal spots for dances, walks or charity dinners. Businesses can ask that the charity mention the sponsorship in event advertisements and marketing. Financial donations can make sense. Giving to charity is a way to increase tax deductions and reduce ansnual tax bills. Small businesses can work with their financial officers or accountants to develop a budget for charitable giving. Obtain meaningful exposure to influential people. Working with established nonprofits can help provide a connection to influential people in the community and beyond. The more exposure a business can get, the more access it has to networking opportunities. In addition, more contacts in the community can increase word-of-mouth marketing that increases your customer base and improves your standing in the community. Supporting local charities can benefit small businesses in various ways. Small business owners can explore the various charitable opportunities at their disposal in an effort to connect with their communities and grow their businesses. -Metro Creative

The hidden boost from buying local

Saving and spending tips for millennials

hough consumers no doubt understand how buying from local merchants can benefit those merchants, few may grasp just how beneficial buying local can be to their entire communities. In 2012, Civic Economics, an economic analysis and strategic planning firm, analyzed data from 15 independent retailers and seven independent restaurants, all located in Salt Lake City, comparing those businessesÕ local economic impact with four national retailer chains and three national restaurant chains. The study found that the local retailers returned 52 percent of their revenue to the local economy, a figure that dwarfed the revenue returned by the national chains, which returned just 14 percent of revenue to the local economy. Restaurants provided an even bigger boost to local economies, returning 79 percent of their revenue compared to just 30 percent for the national chain restaurants. The reasons for these disparities include local businesses spending more on local labor and relying more heavily on local service providers. So while buying local may be more convenient and ecofriendly, it also can greatly benefit local economies. Metro Creative

early half of Americans describe themselves as “good savers,” according to the TD Bank Saving and Spending Survey, and Millennials are leading the charge. Fifty-six percent of Millennials report they are good savers, compared with 43 percent of Gen Xers and 48 percent of Baby Boomers. Although encouraging, there is always room for improvement. Ryan Bailey, Head of Deposit Products, Payments and Non-Real Estate Lending at TD Bank, recommends the following smart saving tips for Millennials: Nearly seven in 10 Millennials admit to indulging on impulse purchases. Create a budget to help curtail impulse spending to ensure you have money for your rainy day fund. Use banking and financial apps to track and control spending, as well as to manage savings at home or on-the-go. Take advantage of company retirement savings plans, contributing up to your company’s matching policy. Remember, even small contributions could make a big difference down the line. View salary increases as an opportunity to boost savings. Allocate a portion of raises to savings, setting up a direct deposit into savings accounts. Saving for the future may seem like a distant issue for young professionals already saddled with high costs of living and student loans. But by establishing good saving habits today, Millennials can ensure a lifetime of financial health. -StatePoint

Whether itÕs lost keys, cramped cabinets or misplaced documents, minor yet inconvenient situations can be mitigated if not eliminated if men and women simply commit to being more organized. Men and women who struggle with organization may be surprised to learn just how much time and productivity they lose to disorganization. For example, a survey from Ikea found that men and women routinely spend six minutes just looking for their keys. When added up, that’s a substantial amount of time that can be put to better use. Becoming more organized is a popular resolution come New Year’s Day, and many people benefit from hiring professional organizers to make their resolutions a reality.

Graduates who stay disciplined and pay a little extra each month can repay their student loans long before the loans reach maturity.

3 ways to quickly pay down college debt tudent loan debt is a big concern for today’s newly minted college graduates. According to an analysis of government data by Edvisors.com, a website that provides financial information about college to students and parents, the average student in the class of 2015 will graduate with more than $35,000 in student debt. That figure is roughly $2,000 more than the class of 2014 graduates faced upon receiving their degrees. With such substantial debts, it’s no wonder many college graduates find themselves looking for ways to pay down that debt as quickly as possible once they leave campus life behind. Paying down college debt may seem daunting at first, but the following are some ways for recent grads to get out from under that debt sooner rather than later.

1. Pay more than you owe. The best way to reduce the principal on student loans quickly is to pay more than you owe each month. Once the repayment grace period ends, grads will see what their monthly student loan payment is. Paying more than that amount each month can drastically reduce your repayment period, and you will pay considerably less in interest over the life of the loan. For example, a graduate who owes $25,000 and pays 6 percent interest annually for 10 years will pay roughly $278 per month to eliminate that loan in exactly 120 months. Over those 120 months, grads will have paid more than $8,300 in interest in addition to their $25,000 principal. However, grads who pay an additional $50 per month will pay their loans off nearly two years earlier and pay nearly $2,000 less in interest over the life of the

repayment.

2. Arrange for automatic deposits into a repayment fund.

Accounting Thanks to ever-changing financial policies and greater scrutiny placed on lending practices and bookkeeping, accounting jobs remain solid career choices. Jobs in accounting can range from entry-level to more advanced (and more lucrative) positions requiring certification or a secondary education.

Medicine

One of the more difficult parts of repaying stuFinancial health does not safeguard people dent loans for recent grads is setting aside enough against illness, and health services are needed money to pay them off. Upon landing their first professional jobs, new grads are often making more money than they’ve ever earned in the past, and many have no idea how to manage their newfound financial windfalls. In addition to making your monthly payments via your everyday checking account, arrange for automatic deposits into a savings account you will exclusively use to repay your student loans so you are not tempted to spend that money on more frivolous pursuits. You won’t miss the money if you never get used to having it, and you will celebrate the day the balance in your student loan savings account matches the payoff amount on your student loan balance.

regardless of the state of the economy. That makes medical careers some of the most coveted and stable around. Healthcare professions can be lucrative, and careers in medicine are not restricted to doctors or nurses. Clinicians, medical imaging personnel and medical laboratory technicians also are needed. The United States Department of Labor lists services for the elderly and persons with disabilities, home healthcare services and other health practitioner positions among the fastest-growing career opportunities.

Computer Systems Computer systems analysts and programming experts are highly coveted in todayÕs digital world. Many company operations are completely overseen by relatively autonomous computer systems. As technology keeps changing, employees who are able to stay abreast of the changes will only grow more valuable.

Builders With more money injected into the economy, homes and businesses can once again resume growth. Laborers with skills in construction, masonry and residential building, and structure contractors can count on steady employment. -Metro Creative

3. Make plans. Failure to make a plan is one way to miss the opportunity to pay off your college debt as quickly as possible. Make specific financial goals, such as owning your own home in ÔX’ amount of years or saving money for postgraduate tuition. Having specific goals and plans in place can provide the motivation you need to pay down college debt sooner rather than later. Student loan debt intimidates many recent graduates. But those who stay disciplined can repay their loans quickly and regain some financial freedom as a result. -Metro Creative

When to begin saving for retirement fter finishing school and landing their first jobs, the furthest thing on many young professionals’ minds is retirement. Although the day young workers will cash their last paychecks and bid farewell to the workplace may be decades down the road, it’s never too early to begin saving for retirement. The sooner a person begins saving for retirement, the more time his or her money will have to grow. As more deposits are made and interest is compounded, retirement investments can grow considerably. Ideally, workers should begin saving as soon as possible. Compounding interest produces a better return for professionals who start saving when they are young than for those who delay their retirement savings. Unfortunately, many of today’s new workers are not prioritizing retirement. According to a study from Hewitt Associates, just 31 percent of Generation Y employees (individuals born after 1978) who are able to deposit money into a 401(k) retirement plan actually do so. The easiest way to save for retirement is to make the process entirely automatic. One can achieve this by signing up for an employer-sponsored 401(k) or another retirement plan. When opening a 401(k), workers will have a predetermined portion of their earnings deducted from their paychecks and deposited into the retirement account. Such contributions are made prior to being taxed, adding even more incentive to begin saving as soon

as possible. Money deposited into a 401(k) will then be available for withdrawal when the employee reaches retirement age. If the employer has a matching program, even better, as that means the company will match employee contributions up to a certain percentage. A person may also want to establish an IRA (individual retirement account). IRAs, which are available as traditional IRAs or Roth IRAs, are typically offered through financial establishments and provide tax-friendly ways to save for retirement. There are differences between traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, and these differences are related to taxes and may depend on when contributions are made as well as when withdrawals are made. Speak with a financial planner to help you determine the IRA best suited to your personal needs. Young professionals may want to keep more of their retirement funds in stocks and aggressive accounts to earn more. As one gets older and closer to retirement, a conservative approach is more prudent. Advisors may suggest older professionals then begin investing in bonds and other less volatile opportunities. Professionals of all ages can speak with a financial planner for more information regarding retirement savings. In addition, options to invest through an employer can be discussed with human resources personnel. -Metro Creative

Employment: The next step after graduation raduation is an exciting time in the lives of students. After years in the classroom preparing for life after school, graduation marks a time when students are finally ready to enter the ‘real world’ and land their first professional job. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics advises that earning a college degree can greatly improve a person’s chance of landing a job. The more education a person receives, the lower his or her prospects of being unemployed become. The BLS said that, as of 2014, individuals with a bachelor’s degree could earn on average $1,101 per week, compared to $668 for persons with high school diplomas. Those with bachelor’s degrees had a 3.5 percent unemployment rate compared to 6 percent for those with only high school diplomas. The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that roughly two million students earn bachelor’s degrees each year. Many others will go on to earn master’s or doctorates before entering the workforce. As the economy continues to improve, job prospects follow suit. According to a job outlook from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, employers had plans to hire 8.3 percent more new college graduates in 2015 than in 2014. The growth of businesses and the rising rate of retiring Baby Boomers has spurred employment prospects. Landing a job post-graduation requires diligence on the part of new grads, and the following are a handful of ways

to make those pursuits more successful. Hit the ground running. It’s tempting for recent grads to take the summer off and have a lax approach to job hunting after all of the hard work they put into their education. But recent grads can get a head start on their competition by beginning their searches immediately after earning their degrees. Create a list of a few target companies you have your eye on, and then tap into your network to find a contact at each company and reach out

people who work at the companies you’re investigating. Don’t be afraid to shake some hands and introduce yourself to others. Think about what you can offer to prospective employers. Narrow down your specific skills and customize your resumes or cover letters to the specific talents you can offer each potential employer. Use examples that illustrate these skills from past school courses, volunteerism or parttime jobs. Your ‘quirks,’ like being the most punctual per-

to that contact directly. Focus on a career path. Prospective employers prefer that applicants have some certainty regarding the types of jobs they are looking for. Take a career assessment test or work with a career counselor to narrow down the fields and positions that speak to you. Avoid the ‘I’m willing to do or learn anything’ approach to job applications. Employers may see that as desperation. Don’t rely entirely on the Internet. Oftentimes, landing a good job requires reaching out to people in person. In a MonsterCollege survey, 78 percent of job-seekers said networking was a factor in their job searches. Standing out from the crowd may involve physically standing out. Attend conferences or speeches from

son in your group of friends, may turn out to be the skill an employer admires the most. Consider developing a career portfolio that highlights your past achievements. Do your homework before an interview or networking opportunity. Always be prepared before an interview or when meeting with someone you are soliciting for job help. Research the company and know its background so you have an idea of how the company runs. Keep a list of questions at the ready. A knowledge of the company can help you stand out from other applicants. The next step for many after graduation is to find a job that fits with graduates’ career goals. -Metro Creative
