Board advertises 90-cent tax rate By Laura McFarland

The board voted toward the end of its workshop on Monday, March 21 to advertise the proposed rate at 90 cents in time for a public hearing to be held during a 6 p.m. meeting on Monday, May 2 in the Village Building. This is the same night the board will approve the final rate. By advertising for 90 cents, the board is not committing to this rate. The board has to advertise the maximum rate that it

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors last week voted three-two in favor of advertising a proposed 2016-2017 real estate tax rate at 90 cents, giving the five board members room to decide on a course of action as they discuss and gather more information about the proposed county’s budget and capital

might approve. It may choose to approve a lower rate, but it cannot go over the advertised rate. Chairman Bill Melton, who represents District 4; Angie Cabell, District 3, and Carson Tucker, District 5, voted to approve 90 cents as the advertised tax rate. David Williams, District 1, and Larry Nordvig, District 2. Voted against it. The current tax rate is 90 cents, but given the increase in the county’s overall assessed value as of Jan. 1, 2016, a real

estate tax rate of 85 cents would be needed to see no effective increase or decrease in the average taxpayer bill. This effective tax rate sees a change in the rate itself, but the taxpayer still ends up paying the same bill. Cabell made the motion to advertise the real estate tax rate at 90 cents and Tucker seconded the motion. Neither spoke again on the subject. see BOARD page 9A

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board presented its almost $45.8 million proposed budget for the 2016-2017 school year to the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors last week a day after the members passed it unanimously with minimal dissension. The two boards met in a joint meeting

on Wednesday, March 23, with the bulk of the meeting focused on laying out the school district’s achievements, laying out the figures for the new school year and talking about where the extra money would be spent in the proposed budget. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, presented the budget and talked about the details of what school staff are proposing and the school board agreed to support at see BUDGET page 4A

POWHATAN – Behind all of the jubilation within Powhatan County Public Schools at getting the green light to move ahead with plans to renovate and rebuild the outdated Powhatan Junior High School, a great deal of hard work and some tough decisions have gone into making the change a reality. School district staff members have been working hard to balance the tasks involved in closing a school, redistribut-

ing teachers and students from being situated in six locations down to five, and undertaking the actual building project, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said. The county is in for an unusual time ahead, and there will be some real challenges that come with such a big change, he said. “There is going to be some uneasiness and discomfort, but it is going to be worth it.

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors has spent the past month learning the ins and outs that make up the proposed fiscal year 2017 operating budget that will soon be on the table for a vote. Since Feb. 29, the board has sat through a series of workshops outlining the budget requests by the county’s various departments and recommendations made by county administrator Pat Weiler on how and if they should be funded. The county administrator’s proposed budget totaled $56.7 million before the Powhatan County School Board presented its proposed $45.8 million budget on Wednesday, March 23. Department requests ranged from no addition funds to limited changes with price tags varyin from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars to significant requests of multiple thousands of dollars for items, services or salaries and benefits. The board had to consider which, if any, of those to fund as it moves closer to the date it is scheduled to vote on the adoption of the budget on Monday, May 2. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. The board was scheduled to vote on the budget amount it wished to advertise on Monday, March 28. The vote occurred after deadline for this story. The entire budget can be found on the county’s website at www.powhatanva. gov/424/Budget-CIP. To listen to and watch the budget meet-

ings, go to www.powhatanva.gov/agendacenter. Some of the more notable budget requests included: Chief Steven Singer pointed out that the county is looking at purchasing a new public safety radio system and computer aided dispatch system as well as moving emergency communications into a space or new facility that can house those expansions. Those projects are on the county’s capital improvements program (CIP) but what is not is a staff member who would be dedicated to dealing with those systems. He proposed that if the county is planning to go ahead with those projects, it needs to hire a director of emergency communications soon who can oversee the building and implementation of the

systems and then run them once they are finished in about 18 to 24 months. He said the director would need to be there to understand the systems the county is looking at purchasing and towers that might be built. The director is the project manager for the radio, CAD and relocation projects, plus maintaining the current radio system. The salary and benefits of the emergency communications direction position is proposed at $82,000. This is part of a recommended plan to move the emergency dispatch system from underneath the sheriff’s office, which Weiler said the board requested she do. She asked Singer how he would organize emergency management if it was under him, and that is the organizational syssee REQUESTS page 2A

tem he presented to the supervisors. However, the system is based on Weiler holding the top position in the organizational chart. Sheriff Brad Nunnally pointed out that taking emergency dispatch from under the sheriff, who is a constitutional officer, would mean losing about $150,000 in comp board funding. He also pointed out that since dispatchers greet visitors and monitor security cameras, removing them from his office will mean hiring new people to do their jobs. In the presentation for his department, Nunnally said he wanted to address what he saw as a longstanding issue regarding hiring new employees, but he is proposing changes that affect his entire staff. He said that while no county will ever be able to pay law enforcement what they are worth, localities need to strive for an adequate salary. When deputies and dispatchers are hired, they go to an academy and do extensive field training, Nunnally said. When they complete training and start work on their own, those employees should have their pay increased inside of the grade classification of their job description. That would mean the county would not be changing that grade level’s amount of pay only for the sheriff’s office but moving them up in pay within the same grade. Nunnally asked that when those employees finish their training, the county increase their salary to reflect the fact that they are now more valuable employees. To make it fair to existing employees in his department, he also requested the board increase their salaries by a flat $3,000 each, which would include the amount for a 2 percent increase Weiler is suggesting all county employees receive. The total additional cost to implement Nunnally’s plan would be $165,000. He also assured the board that his chief deputy, his captain and himself would not be affected by this increase. When asked if this would set a precedent, Weiler said she would only present a recommendation that represents all employees in the

county equally. She agreed with the sheriff that the county needs to play catch up when it comes to offering competitive salaries, but that need is across all county employees, not only the sheriff’s office, she said. Teresa Hash Dobbins, clerk of the Powhatan County Circuit Court, requested several items for her office that added up to a more significant amount. Her requests included $14,000 for key fobs for her office to tighten security; $2,000 for a safe for cash and valuables; $1,000 for postage for passports, and $3,500 for office supplies related to transferring microfiche to the office’s records management system. About $10,750 for a video arraignment records sound system would save the sheriff’s office about $19,440 because inmates can be arraigned without transporting them to the sheriff’s office, she said. Dobbins also requested salary and benefits increases for her employees, who will not be included in the Compensation and Classification Study and thus are not scheduled to receive the 2 percent pay raise recommended by the county administrator. The salary and benefits increase requests for the four employees add up to a total of $18,900. Weiler pointed out that these plus other smaller requests add up to $61,339 in increases, which she did not put in the proposed budget because the county could not afford all of those increases. However, at the end of the fiscal year, the county administrator brings a carryover list of items that are one-time expenses and can be funded by leftover money. Weiler pointed the board to a separate page that had her recommendations for the clerk’s office’s budget. Her total suggested personnel increase was $755 and operating increase was $1,200. The Department of Social Services’ budget shows an increase of $343,646. This figure includes $168,117 in personnel increase and $174,529 in operating expenses. However, Weiler told the board that she believes the county did not budget enough money in FY 2016 for operating expenditures. Compared to FY 2016’s adopted budget, the increase looks huge, Weiler said. But compared to the actual budget for FY 2015, which she

believes is more reflective of what the county can expect, the proposed numbers are not that far off, she said. The Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) is a program required to meet the needs of children that can’t be met in a regular school setting or have needs that haven’t been met, said Catherine Pemberton, director of social services. She proposed a budget increase of $57,000 for services. Pemberton shared the numbers of children the program has helped: 63 children in FY 2015, 51 in FY 2014, and 39 in FY 2013, she said. Library director Peggy Martin requested the board fund a new librarian for Powhatan County Public Library. The line item has a projected net total of $38,500, but the county is expecting to get $4,000 in state aid funding that could help offset the expense. Martin is currently the only professional on staff at the library, and for a community of Powhatan’s size, it should have 2.5 full time equivalent (FTE) positions, she said. “This has been requested since 2006, so we have been asking for this prior to even my arriving in the county,” she said. In addition to state standards, succession planning is a factor in the request, Martin said. Currently, as the only librarian, if she took a leave of absence or retired, the library would be in a precarious situation with no professional staff. March Altman, deputy county administrator, pointed out that the economic development budget included a $20,000 increase in the marketing line item. These are for professional services to help county staff design marketing materials and making them look attractive. County staff recommended creating a code enforcement budget and funding it at $15,000 as a placeholder since they do not know how much money will be needed. This fund would be used for situations such as demolishing derelict buildings. However, since the owner probably didn’t demolish the building because he or she couldn’t afford it, the county likely would not recoup its money in some situations unless the property sold. A combination of expenses in the registrar’s office added up to $10,105, according to Karen Alexander, director of elections. Some of the higher price items were $3,200 because presidential elections require double the staff; $2,800 to program the voting machines the county had to buy in 2015, and $6,000 for printing and binding related to the paper ballots. Weiler said that something that is not in Alexander’s budget but which she will ask for if there are carryover funds at year end, are special transport security cages for all of the election equipment, ballots and signage, the cages are about $1,000 each and the county would need 12 of them. However, they are a one-time expense and last a long time, she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Assembly challenges students to look deeper Contributed Report

owhatan High School students were asked to think about their past and future last month in an assembly called “Dear Me, I Have a Dream.” Two sessions of the assembly were held in the auditorium on Tuesday, March 15, and included a video and speaker In one video, students and staff were asked to contemplate their past and future. The students were asked to consider what they would say if they had been teleported to the future and had the

chance to talk to themselves in the future. The adult teachers were asked the reverse question: what would they say to their younger selves if they had been teleported to the past? Completely unguided and unscripted in their conversation, it was fascinating to see how the adults and students connected somewhere in the middle idea of cherishing the present. The entire video set to the tune, “Rise Up” by Andra Day was edited and filmed by student Dylan Flippin with support from teacher Chris-

performance, students received post cards to reflect on what they would tell their “future me” about lessons learned during the assembly.

its meeting on March 22. He began his presentation by saying it was much more positive than ones presented in recent years. “Beginning with the governor’s proposed budget, it was clear that the state was going to make a financial commitment to reinvesting in K-12 education,” Jones said. “With bipartisan support in the General Assembly, this approved state budget is a move toward easing the draconian cuts necessitated by the Great Recession – cuts that in Powhatan schools resulted in the elimination of over 105 positions, a 24 percent reduction in central office staffing and the shifting of $4.3 million in unfunded mandates to the local level.” Another positive from the budget season has been the increased feelings of shared responsibilities fostered by joint meetings between the two boards. “Both boards have been grappling with how to meet the needs of the county. While we still have operational challenges from

climbing out of the Great Recession crater, we know that our capital needs are significant,” he said. This awareness and understanding of the depth of needs led the school board to establish a capital improvement fund within its operating budget in the 2015-2016 year in hopes it would allow the district to address some needs before they appeared on a five year capital improvement program (CIP) list. “To my knowledge, this was the first time that operational funds had been earmarked to pay for capital improvements,” Jones said, adding it was a move the school board chose to continue in the proposed budget with an allocation of $219,460 from the operations and maintenance budget. The proposed 2016-2017 budget is a balanced budget that school administration feels “successfully meets the goals established in our six year plan as well as priorities established throughout the budget process.” Board of supervisors chairman Bill Melton praised the school staff for how much more understandable and readable

the school district’s budget it is compared to previous years. “To see it today, the budget as it is presented to me is much more, for lack of a better word, user friendly, and I applaud you for that,” he said. Melton and Carson Tucker, District 5, also pointed out that as the county moves forward on promoting economic development, a great deal of the information in the school’s presentation would be great to put out for people who are considering relocating to Powhatan.

Understanding the numbers The proposed budget for the 2016-2017 school year is $45,750,824, which is a total increase of $1,527,752 from the current year, Jones said. Of that total amount, $22,304,958 would come from county transfers, which would be an increase of $815,057 from the current year. The remaining sources of revenue for the school district’s budget would be $272,901 from other local sources (a decrease of $45,500); $21,858,187 from the state (increase of $825,308), and $1,314,778 of federal money (decrease of $67,114). State revenue has been updated based on the General Assembly’s adopted budget, but the governor still has to approve and sign the budget before it is final. The bulk of the $1,527,752 is slated for increases to expenditures related to payroll and benefits, Jones said. Virginia Retirement System (VRS) expenses will increase by $214,862 due to an increase in the professional rate. Health insurance premiums will increase 10 percent, to the tune of $293,450, which has been offset by additional fuel savings since the contract was renewed while rates were low, he said. Another $258,244 would be slated for two teachers who have been added to meet needs of increased enrollment at Powhatan High School; one SPED teacher and one instructional assistant that had been added at Flat Rock Elementary School; advocating for a change to make a school psychologist position full time because of increased demand; extending contracts for instructional coaches, and stipends for dual enrollment teachers, career and technical education (CTE) sponsors and varsity lacrosse coaches. After a proposed 2 percent salary increase for teachers passed by the General Assembly, the school board decided to do a 2 percent increase for all Powhatan school employees, Jones said. On top of that 2 percent for everybody, the school board voted to give targeted pay raises to various groups that are below the median salary in their job categories in a study comparison that looked at Powhatan’s compensation against surrounding locali-

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Board of Supervisors of Powhatan County will hold a public hearing for the purpose of public information and fiscal planning regarding the increase in property tax levies due to a general reassessment. The hearing will be held on Monday, May 2, 2016, at 7:00 P.M. in the Village Building Auditorium, 3910 Old Buckingham Road, Powhatan, Virginia. The public hearing is for the purpose of allowing the public to question and comment on the proposed real estate tax rate. All citizens are invited to attend and share their views on the proposed rate within such reasonable time limits as shall be determined by the Board of Supervisors. The County of Powhatan proposes to increase property tax levies. 1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property, excluding additional assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s total assessed value of real property by 5.8 percent. 2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate as last tax year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate with exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.85 per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate.” 3. Effective Rate Increase: The County of Powhatan proposes to adopt a tax rate of $.90 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be $.05 per $100, or six (6) percent. This difference will be known as the “effective tax rate increase.” Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage. 4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real property tax rate and changes in other revenues, the total budget of Powhatan County will exceed last year’s by 7 percent.

ties. The proposed raises for those employees is dependent on how far below their pay is from the median in their category, but all targeted raises would be capped at 5 percent, which includes the 2 percent increase for all employees. The proposed budget includes $497,875 in increases of teacher salaries and $385,969 in increases for other employee positions. The raises are part of an effort to make Powhatan schools competitive when it comes to both attracting new employees and keeping them, Jones said. He pointed out that despite the increases, some employees are still up to 70 percent below average compared to their peers. “The focus last year was on some of our lowest paid employees and moving them closer to the average. We weren’t able to accomplish it all last year,” Jones said in response to a question asked by Larry Nordvig, District 2 supervisor. “The 70 percent is for some of our highest paid employees; our administrators are up to 70 percent below. Then we have database technicians and some of our technology staff that are also in that category.” The issue of targeted pay raises and who should get them was a sticky point at a board workshop held a week before the school approved a budget to be sent to the supervisors. Before the vote was taken on March 23 by the school board at its meeting to approve the schools’ budget, Kim Hymel, who represents District 5 on the school board, said she wanted to reiterate her stance on how she believes targeted pay raises should be spent. She had proposed all employees receiving a 2 percent pay raise and then any extra money available for targeted pay raises to go to teachers and school bus drivers only. Despite this stance, she had still voted to support the proposed school budget as presented by the staff. In its preparation for going to five schools while Powhatan Junior High School is renovated and rebuilt, the school district expects payroll and benefit savings of $298,829. The school board has already pledged this money to the board of supervisors to use toward school bus leases. “Those funds were not slated to flow back to the county for another two years, but the school board made this unprecedented move to demonstrate its commitment to partner with the county in funding the prioritized projects on the CIP,” Jones said. After calculating increases and decreases in various areas, the total line items change amount is an increase of $176,181. When added to the increases related to payroll and benefits, the expenditures equal the total amount of increases in revenues, which is $1,527,752.

Republicans lose lawsuit against state board of elections News Editor

POWHATAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A federal court judge this month ruled against a group of Powhatan Republicans in their lawsuit against the Virginia State Board of Elections to have political parties of local candidates displayed on election ballots. Earlier this month, U. S. District Judge M. Hannah Lauck ruled against the Powhatan County Republican Committee and four men who ran as Republican candidates for the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors in the fall. The men were challenging a state code the plaintiffs say unconstitutionally prevents the political party affiliation of local candidates from being included on official

ballots next to candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names. Va. Code Â§ 24.2-613 requires party affiliations be listed â&#x20AC;&#x153;for elections for federal, statewide, and General Assembly offices only.â&#x20AC;? Pat McSweeney, chairman of the Powhatan Republican Committee, acted as the lawyer for the plaintiffs and Joshua Heslinga, assistant attorney general, represented the defendants, the board of elections. The two men argued their cases on Jan. 7. Lauck also presided over an injunction hearing in the fall in which the Republicans sought to stop ballots from being printed while the case was argued. She denied the injunction. The plaintiffs in the case are Robert G. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;?

Budget Continued from page 4A

Understanding the variables The projected enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year is 4,305 students, but Jones said he anticipated surpassing that number if current growth trends continue. To help the board of supervisors and the public understand how little of the school systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget is actually variable, Jones showed a pie chart that maps how the budget is spent. In the 2015-2016 budget, which was for $44,203,072, the main expenditure was for payroll, which accounted for 61.24 percent. Other costs were payroll benefits, 20.68 percent; fixed plant operations, 7.73 percent, and fixed instruction and vehicles, 4.68 percent. Variable costs only accounted for $2,504,074, or about 5.66 percent, he

In the previous four years, total mandated increases to the PCPS budget added up to almost $4.3 million which is 9.8 percent of the operating budget. The mandates for fiscal year 2017 were much less with only the VRS rate increase ($214,862), the group health insurance increase ($293,450) and staffing incentive money ($154,264). With the fifth grade students remaining at each elementary school beginning in the fall of 2016, school staff had the opportunity to restructure and adjust budget accounts, Jones said.

Williams was the only one elected on Nov. 3, 2015.

She quoted a 2008 case where the Supreme Court found the First Amendment does not give political parties the right to designate which candidate is theirs on a ballot. The reasoning given was that the purpose of a ballot is to elect candidates, not serve as a forum for political expression. She said the plaintiffs have not suffered a violation of their right to freedom of association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The statute at issue restricts only a local candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to designate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, consequently, a voterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to identify â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the local candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s party on the general election ballot,â&#x20AC;? she said.

said â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of that is just moving the money where the students are and making sure we capture that and that those teachers and staffs in those schools have the funding to meet the needs of those students.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the budget priorities Jones already went over, he said emphasis will be placed on priorities such as continuing to implement PBIS, a behavior modification system, at the elementary and middle school level; 21st century instruction centered on engagement and deeper learning; the development of anytime, anywhere learning for staff, and continuing to develop and enhance science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum pathways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ultimate goal is to provide a STEM pathway for students beginning in kindergarten all the way through 12th grade,â&#x20AC;?

Gannon vying for Committee chair McSweeney running top Republican Committee position for re-election Contributed Report

Contributed Report

Because the Powhatan Republican Committee needs a chairman who has been a consistent supporter of Congressman Dave Brat and a consistent opponent of excessive spending and borrowing at all levels of government, Patrick McSweeney has decided to seek re-election as chairman of the Committee. Earlier this year, a federal court moved Powhatan from the Fourth Congressional District to the Seventh. That meant that Dave Brat, who represents the Seventh District in the U.S. House of Representatives, became the county’s representative. McSweeney’s opponent is from the wing of the party that opposed Brat in his successful 2014 primary challenge to Eric Cantor. Since Brat became Powhatan’s representative, McSweeney’s opponent has voted against his requests while carrying a proxy on the Seventh District Congressional Committee. McSweeney has consistently supported Dave Brat. A majority of the board of supervisors has voted to advertise an effective tax increase of 5 cents. The county administrator is proposing additional borrowing that will saddle county taxpayers with debt of $203 million. Powhatan already has one of the highest real estate tax

Jean Gannon is running for chair of the Powhatan Republican Committee. The election is April 5 at Powhatan High School. Registration opens at 6 p.m. and closes at 7 p. m. Gannon pretty much wears her political heart on her sleeve. She’s an avid Second Amendment supporter, enjoys shooting, especially skeet, but doesn’t have much time for that these days. She is married to the most supportive husband, has two grown daughters, a wonderful son-in-law and a precious toddler granddaughter who is also her namesake. Family is everything, which is why she works so hard politically to preserve their liberty. Gannon has always been a Republican but was truly inspired toward grassroots activity in 2008, when Bob McDonnell spoke at her daughter’s graduation. She’s worked tirelessly on numerous campaigns and volunteered wherever she was needed. She supported the “McBollinelli” team, Congressman Randy Forbes, Senator/Governor George Allen, and Ed Gillespie, to name a few, and serves as campaign manager for Del. Lee Ware. Needless to

McSWEENEY rates in the commonwealth. The median outstanding debt among Powhatan’s peer counties is only 7.9 percent of annual expenditures, while Powhatan’s percentage is 10.9 percent. The county administrator proposes to increase Powhatan’s borrowing policy to 15 percent of annual expenditures. County taxpayers must oppose these proposals. The purpose of a political party is not simply to support its nominees out of blind allegiance but also to hold them accountable once they are elected. The problems that have led to broad public frustration and anger have arisen principally because parties have not held their representatives accountable. The Powhatan Republican Committee will. As chairman, McSweeney will continue to urge the committee to fight for fiscal discipline in Powhatan, Richmond and Washington, D.C. Patrick McSweeney submitted this message.

state must identify candidates on the ballot by party designation, not whether they appear there at all. “If anything, Section 24.2-613 merely prohibits candidates from expressing their chosen association through the general election ballot,” she said.

Equal protection The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment requires the court to determine whether a sufficient purpose justifies a government’s classification among people, Lauck said. A statute may not place unconstitutional burdens upon “suspect classes” of people (such as gender or race) or infringe upon a constitutional right that is deemed

fundamental. In the election context, fundamental would include the right to vote and the right to association. The Supreme Court has ruled that under traditional equal protection principles, legislatures are presumed to have acted constitutionally, which stands unless a case involves suspect classes or fundamental rights, Lauck said. She found that “candidates for local office are not a suspect class” and that the code section under review “does not unconstitutionally impinge upon a fundamental right.” She said the plaintiffs claim of violation of equal protection fails because “any discriminatory treatment experienced by plaintiffs is rationally related to legitimate government purpose.” Those legitimate government interests are that the statute: minimized partisanship at the local gov-

GANNON say, she lives, eats and breathes politics. She is a designated real estate appraiser, serving on the state board and is president of the Central Virginia Appraisal Institute chapter. Gannon’s run for chair of the Powhatan GOP is an extension of her willingness to bring civility and hospitality to the membership, to see the committee grow to be inclusive, productive and ultimately to win elections. She believes that Republicans can have varying opinions as long as we all have the same goal: to allow our fellow man to live the American Dream our forefathers and so many since have fought to preserve.

ernment level, including during elections; promotes impartial governance, and maximizes the number of citizens eligible to hold office under the Hatch Act, which limits the political activities of federal employees. Lauck said the commonwealth’s argument that local government, with its numerous “quasi-judicial positions and ‘nuts and bolts’ governing functions, stands to benefit from the absence of the divisiveness that can accompany partisan politics.” Impartial local governance can preserve or enhance public confidence with respect to local politics, she continued. By excluding party identification on local ballots, the challenged statute helps citizens such as federal see LAWSUIT page 9A

tions of Powhatan students to attend, and the short term pain we may experience will definitely be worth the long-term gain for the county as a whole,” he said. Jones said it was when the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted at their meeting on Monday, Feb. 22 to give the schools the green light for plans to move ahead on the project that it really sunk in the project was going to be a reality. The vote was to approve but not budget or appropriate $35.4 million for the new school and a $1.5 million water tank as part of the county’s 2017 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). “We had been doing a lot of behind the scenes planning for the past four or five months not knowing whether we were going to get approval to move forward this year or not,” Jones said. “So once the board of supervisors unanimously approved that resolution, we knew it was a reality on our end and that we needed to go ahead and start the wheels moving of publically announcing some of these changes and some of the planning we are going to be doing in a very quick time to get this project started.” As long as the board of supervisors budgets and appropriates the project and funding is secured in some way, the plan is to have everything moved out of Powhatan Junior High School by the end of June and begin demolition of the junior high school in July, Jones said. After the junior high staff is moved, the rest of the summer will be spent getting all of the other teachers and staff moved to their new homes, at least for the next two years.

Staffing changes and reductions The biggest challenge of the new school project and the resulting move has been making sure that the change is as minimal as it can be for the school district’s staff, Jones said. Every school except Powhatan High School is going to experience a major change of some kind, and even it might see a few staffing changes if teachers move in or out of it as a result of the move.

Teachers are going to be changing classrooms and even schools and possibly switching to new positions, and a great deal of effort is going into making that as seamless as possible, he said. “We’ve had a lot of personal conversations with individuals to make sure they understand where they are going to be next year and that we will support them as much as we can in that move so that they’re comfortable in their new position or their new location where they are going to be working,” he said. Because the district is going from six schools to five, some hard choices have to be made, Jones said. Administration is phasing in any necessary reductions in staff purposefully to reduce the number of affected employees, he added. For the next two school years, the grade configurations will be: Powhatan Elementary, kindergarten through fifth grade; Flat Rock Elementary, pre-K through fifth grade, Pocahontas Elementary, pre-K through sixth grade; Pocahontas Middle, sixth through eighth grade, and Powhatan High, ninth through 12th grade. Head Start, which is currently at Powhatan Elementary School, will be moved to Pocahontas Elementary School. Thus far, administration has only had to lay off one person – a school nurse whose position couldn’t be relocated – because of the move, Jones said. However, through retirements or being able to move people into new jobs because of attrition, the district has eliminated the positions of a reading coach, school nurse, school counselor and three clerical workers. Teacher numbers will stay pretty steady because there are still the same number of students to teach and the same number of classrooms, Jones said. There isn’t currently a plan to reduce teachers because of the move, but if there are enrollment changes, the district might reduce staff for that reason. “Throughout the process of building a new school we will be looking at staff and how they are assigned,” Jones said. “If we have additional openings that occur through retirement or resignations, we will look at those posisee CLOSING page 8A

Walking the halls of Powhatan schools in awe By Laura McFarland News Editor

egardless of the occasion, visiting Powhatan County schools is always a delight. You walk in the door and you are inundated with color, life, laughter and inspiration. It’s an incredibly uplifting experience. This writer tries to visit every school with every opportunity. It’s a mix of school board meetings being held at one of the schools or a principal, teacher or special guest emailing or calling up and saying, “We are having this cool event. Would you like to come out?” When possible, I try to go because the depth and breadth of experiences encountered during these visits is always fascinating. Take, for example, a visit last week to Pocahontas Middle School. If you look on the front page, you will see a story about the effects on the school system of tearing down and rebuilding a school and fitting everybody into less space in the two years of construction time. To illustrate this story, I visited the middle school because, outside of the soon-to-be-rubble junior high, it seems

like the school that will be the most impacted by the transition. Certainly once all the construction is finished, the middle school will be impacted greatly because it will no longer be used as one of the district’s schools. As I am walking around the halls of the school waiting for the students to come out of their classes so I can take some photos, my eyes are repeatedly drawn to the walls, where student work amazes you at every turn. Outside one classroom was a display of illustrated timelines of space travel

starting in the 1950s. While it was cool to be reminded of the amazing feats accomplished since the space program started, it was sad to see the dwindling number of milestones as you get past the 1990s. One display showed silhouettes of heads with writings about what the particular students’ minds are filled with at the time. Based on what I read, the students were asked to talk about concerns, ideas, dreams, feelings and hopes. Some of these students wrote incredibly insightful things you don’t think about a fifth- or

sixth-grader contemplating. Some I saw were “concern for our changing world,” “ideas about improving education in other countries,” “dreams of encouraging the young generation and researching medicine,” “dreams of one day becoming the president of the United States and to become friends with the enemy,” “concerns for the poor and sick,” “concerns for the lonely and sad,” and “feelings of courage and inspiration when others cheer me on.” There were beautiful drawings, paintings, clay sculptures and mixed media pieces. The detail and skill of these young artists is amazing and I feel privileged to have seen their work. And all of this was at one school. Having visited all of the other schools, this writer can attest to the fact that they are just as bright and lively about celebrating their students’ work. So bravo to our local school administration and teachers for making Powhatan County Public Schools a place that not only inspires the students in your charge but the people who come to visit and get treated to a front row view of our local students’ hard work and talents.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Gannon has made real effort for Republicans Dear Editor, In case you missed the signs at the county line, my friend, Jean Gannon, is running for the position of chair of the Powhatan Republican Committee. Jean has been out talking to folks about the upcoming elections and how important it is for our voices to be heard so we can turn this country around. If anyone can lead this county and carry the republican banner, it is Jean Gannon. She was talking to some folks the other day and a gentleman told her he wouldn’t support her because she “wasn’t his kind of republican.” This has really been troubling to Jean, so I thought I would publish why I think Jean is “Everyone’s kind of republican.” Jean first became active when Attorney General Bob McDonnell spoke at her daughter’s graduation. She was hooked and spent countless hours volunteering on the phones, door knocking, driving college republicans around town, doing everything she could to get Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling and Ken Cuccinelli elected that year. At the time, Jean didn’t know there was a committee in Powhatan, so she visited committee meetings in Chesterfield and Henrico. She officially joined the Powhatan Republican Committee in 2008. Since that time she has spent countless hours organizing and working republican campaigns. Some of the people she championed include our own 2011 slate of candidates for the Powhatan Board of Supervisors, David Wil-

liams, Jason Moore, Barry Hodge, and Tim Gresham, as well as Delegate Lee Ware. In 2012 Jean met Governor and Mrs. George Allen and not only volunteered but became an ambassador for Allen. She worked numerous gun shows to help collect 27,000 signatures to get him on the ballot. She organized teas and events showcasing George Allen to the citizens of Powhatan. She has also been a long time and fervent supporter of Congressman Randy Forbes. In 2013 Jean joined the Huguenot Republican Woman’s Club as there was no woman’s club here in Powhatan. In October 2014, Jean and I worked together to form a federated Woman’s Club right here in Mill Quarter. We just celebrated our first anniversary and we are going strong. If you’re interested, check out the Mill Quarter Republican Woman’s Club FaceBook page. This past year we had a “ground zero” seat open up when Senator John Watkins announced his retirement. Jean was approached by then candidate, Glen Sturtevant. She so believed in this man, she put her all into his race while working full time as a campaign manager for Delegate Lee Ware. In spite of her efforts to get committee members organized and working as a united force, the Powhatan Committee was going in several different directions as local races ran independent of each other, leaving no ground support for Sturtevant. At the 11th hour, Jean put a team together and organized 30 faithful volunteers to man the polls to create a presence for Glen Sturtevant on Election Day. When the numbers came in, Powhatan carried Glen Sturtevant over the line with a voter turn-out greater than anyone P.O.

thought possible. This is the kind of republican we need. Jean Gannon gives it her all. Did I mention she holds a fulltime job, serves on the State Real Estate Appraiser Board and holds the presidential leadership position of the Virginia Chapter of the Appraisal Institute? I can’t keep up with her. I believe that if Jean were to be elected CHAIR of the Powhatan Republican Committee, she would be a positive force for Republicans and the community at large. She’s my kind of republican! Come out and vote for Jean Gannon for chair of the Powhatan Republican Committee on April 5. Check out “Jean Gannon for Chair” FaceBook page for more information.

Powhatan needs conservative chair for committee Dear Editor, Powhatan conservatives should come out to support a strong leader for conservative values and the principled constitutional rights. There are issues that are arising in Powhatan that are going to affect the citizens of Powhatan. We are going to need a strong chairman of the Republican Party to help in such issues as leading in selecting good leadership for county, state, and U.S. Senate and Congress, like we have in our new congressmen, Dave Brat. Another issue will be this year’s proposed tax increase for Powhatan County. Constitutional issues, state and nationally, will always be front and center on the conservative agenda. Powhatan needs a proven principled conservative leader, especially in this day of political correctness and unprincipled leaders and those who are fooled by them. Pat McSweeney is the choice for this type of leader and will represent and help the people of Powhatan in the work of all of us to have a good community based on his proven leadership. Please attend the mass meeting to vote for Pat McSweeney to help keep Congressman Dave Brat in office and have a leader who helps steer the committee and our citizens to fight for conservative values. The election of the new chair will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5 in the auditorium of Powhatan High School. John Tuttle Powhatan County

RESPONSE On March 23, the Question of the week was “What do you think is the biggest hurdle to getting public involvement in local government? This week’s editorial was very good, but here is some food for thought for you that I would certainly like to see you address. What is the point of saying anything at these meetings, budget or otherwise? Many people spoke out against the forced signing by the COs of the county handbook. Nobody on the board listened, except Mr. Williams. Before that, many people spoke out against the takeover of the Rescue Squad by the Fire Chief. Nobody listened to them then either, except David Williams. Perhaps the budget is different, but I doubt it. The elections pretty much decided that limits on spending is not to be worried about anyway, as it appears to me that only one supervisor is a fiscal conservative. I do appreciate all the hard work our local government puts in to run our county. Response from Laura Graham, Powhatan County

tions and see if they are still necessary given the reconfiguration of the schools and determine if we want to keep that position or not.â&#x20AC;? For the moment, there is also still the need for each schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top administrative staff, Jones said. With three grade levels situated at Pocahontas Middle, with some overflow of sixth-graders into Pocahontas Elementary, there is still a need for all of the assistant principals. Per state stands of quality guidelines and safety and supervision needs, two

assistant principals will be needed for more than 1,000 students. The assistant principals at the middle and junior high schools will stay and be at the middle school, while assistant principal Martha Powers will be in charge of the sixth grade at Pocahontas Elementary, Jones said. As for the principals, although a school is closing down during construction, standards of quality funding would still be available for two principals, he added. Dr. Lynn Clayton-Prince will be in charge of the sixth grade and Jason Tibbs will still be principal over the seventh and eighth grades.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We checked with the state and given the circumstances of closing down the school, we can classify them as two separate schools during the construction phase,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding this will be an on-paper separation, not having two separate schools running at the middle school. However, after construction is finished, the school district will have to reduce down to having one principal, Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is one of those where I said we are trying to make sure everybody has a job and that some of these moves may take a couple years. That would be one of them,â&#x20AC;? he said. Although there will only be five cafeterias, all of them but the high school will now be serving more students, Jones said. He anticipates needing additional cafeteria staff at the other schools that will absorb some of the impact of closing one school.

When the school board started discussing the closing of a school and what options were available, Jones said that closing a school would recognize about $650,000 in savings. In budgeting for bonds and CIP needs, that $650,000 has been worked into future projections of what funds will be available starting in fiscal year 2019. About two-thirds is savings from staff changes and the rest is from operational reductions. However, because of reductions the school district is already seeing, it has pledged $298,829 to go back to the county to be used for capital needs starting in fiscal year 2017. Pat Weiler, county administrator, has already told the board of supervisors that the $298,829 will be put toward school bus leases to reduce that need in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CIP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After our joint meetings on the capital improvement plan and knowing the financial difficulties in accomplishing the priorities that the school board and the board of supervisors approved and are looking to make happen, the school board has been favorable to returning that $298,829 back to the county two years early to allow that money to be used to assist in accomplishing those capital projects,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. Janitorial services are outsources, so the school see CLOSING page 9A

Melton said he voted to advertise at that rate based on presentations and discussions the board recently had that they needed time to digest and understand. These projects would require funds over what the county administrator’s proposed fiscal year 2017 budget contains since the budget was built using the assumption of an 85 cent tax rate. Melton also pointed out that the supervisors voted on Monday, Feb. 22, to put their support behind the renovation and rebuilding of Powhatan Junior High School into a new middle school and the construction of a water tower for fire suppression. The board members did not budget or appropriate the $35.4 million that make up the two projects, but they did give the county administrator the green light to work on financing and the school district to make construction and moving plans with their approval. “I want to advertise the 90. We will listen to the public. We will roll our sleeves up. We will do the work,” Melton said. “We will continue to work together, as Mr. Nordvig has said, to do what the majority of the board will feel is the most frugal and the most prudent thing to do for the county.” The two board members who were most vocal on the vote were the ones who opposed it, Williams and Nordvig. Williams said he has made clear from the beginning that he believes the county can’t do all of its capital improvement program (CIP) projects in one year. He originally wanted to go less than an 85-cent real estate tax rate but is willing to stay at 85, he added. He said he would prefer to spread the projects out both because of the county’s debt capacity and not wanting Powhatan to be on the hook for massive debt repayment given the volatile financial market of recent years. If things go wrong, he said, the money is going to have to be made up on the real estate tax rate. “Doing everything in one year scares the heck out of me. I would like to say we live in the best of times, but we don’t. I think if you look at the financial world and the threats that we have, we could easily be looking at something akin to what we experienced in

district will realize some savings by having one less school contracted to be cleaned, Jones said. That is an operational savings that staff has as a line item in the district’s budget and that will now be put toward capital projects. School food services is a separate, self-supporting fund, so the district’s operational budget wouldn’t recognize any savings by reducing cafeteria staff, Jones said. However, since the operational budget does subsidize the school food services budget, if any savings were realized, that contribution could possibly decrease.

Teacher adjustments The biggest adjustment as far as the permanent ramifications of the renovation project will be for fifth grade teachers, Jones said. Currently, they are all together at the middle school, but with the move and in the years that follow, they will be split up between the three elementary schools. Jones assured the board of supervisors and school board at a joint meeting on Wednesday, March 23 that redistrict-

the past, back in 2008,” Williams said. All of the CIP projects need to be done, but priorities sometimes have to be set and choices made when faced with so many critical problems and not enough money to pay for them all without going into more debt, Williams continued. Unless the county puts a lid on spending, it will be too easy to keep spending and layer on debt rather than doing the hard thing, which is figuring out “how to manage and how to do more with less.” “You have to figure out how to look back inside yourself, re-engineer yourself, and do more with less. Because you are always going to have more needs than you’ve got tax revenues. That is just a fact,” he said. Also in favor of advertising at 85 cents was Nordvig, who said he is uncomfortable with going up toward a 15 percent debt service versus expenditures rate and “a tax and spend approach to the budget.” “What we criticize Washington, D.C. about a lot is that they don’t hesitate to tax and spend and they don’t hesitate to raise the debt ceiling or bust right through it. Run up some more debt,” Nordvig said. Over many years and many boards of supervisors, Powhatan has put the county’s substantial tax burden onto the shoulders of the residents, Nordvig said. Currently, the county’s revenue source is about “92 percent residential and 8 percent commercial.” “We should be somewhere around 70-30. We are not even close, and this trajectory takes us further away from 70-30. And that is my biggest objection,” he said. “It kind of comes down to, if not us, who? If not now, when? When are we going to bend this curve back down toward 70-30?” The county needs to be more aggressively going after “countryfriendly commercial growth” to bring new businesses into the county, he said. The board and county staff especially need to get started on initiatives laid out in a recent economic development study the county received. “I don’t want to put a damper on the whole thing. I am optimistic in general toward Powhatan’s future,” Nordvig said. “But it takes time to see that revenue come rolling in. I hope not too much time. During the time this

ing wasn’t necessary. Current fourth-graders will simply stay at their current school a year longer. But this will be a drastic change for the teachers, who were a team that was used to working together, he said. The fifth grade teachers were surveyed to determine at which of Powhatan’s three elementary schools they would like to work, and all of them got either their first or second choice, Sandy Lynch, assistant superintendent for instruction, said. Those teachers have already met with their new principals. “I think everybody had a heightened sense of anticipation. They were really waiting for an announcement so they could think about the space they would be moving into,” she said. “Just having eyes on the space relieved any tense feelings people had. Everybody knows there are a lot of things that need to be done and we are doing our best to support them.” The administration was able to keep some teams and pairs together at a new school if they wanted to continue working together, Jones said. There will also be opportunities to bring all of the fifth grade teachers to-

board is sitting. But it won’t happen between now and May.” Nordvig said he is basing his opinions on what he heard from his constituents when he knocked on doors during two campaigns in less than a year. Their opinions are “the most important to me,” he said. While advertising a higher real estate tax rate gives the board room to decide what to do and there is still a great deal of information to examine, Nordvig said he still was “not ready to roll the dice on 90 cents.” “I think you are sending a message when you say 90 cents is our advertised tax rate. I think the average citizen will think the board is putting our tax rate at 90 cents. I don’t think most people know that rule about being able to lower it,” he said. “I think we are sending a signal that says we are willing to tax and spend and raise the debt ceiling to just buy whatever shiny new projects we want to spend them on.” Nordvig said he is more comfortable holding a tax rate steady and dealing with changes on the debt side. Once you raise taxes, they very rarely ever come back down, he said. Instead, he favored managing the county’s debt and how much more it takes on. Managing debt can involve prepayments, refinancing and other recourses that can be addressed, he said. Relying on revenues that are not guaranteed and which the county has no control over to always be there is too risky. “We don’t know if two years from now we are going to be making any money at all. I am not going to go total doom and gloom here, but my point is we don’t control the revenue,” he said. “I don’t think we will lower taxes. If we just get in this habit, they are not going to come down.” He added that most of the scenarios presented to the board about bonding the full CIP make him “very uncomfortable.” Instead, the county needs to be focused on attracting solid countryfriendly commercial growth to begin working toward that 70-30 ratio of revenue. “Go get some more money coming into the county and then we can afford to do some of these things,” he said.

gether in person or virtually so they can continue to collaborate and bounce ideas off of each other. Some teachers will also be shifted to different rooms or hallways at each elementary school as administrators work to use the space the most efficiently, Jones said. “I think as with any big change it probably takes a little time for it to sink in and I don’t think it will be until next year when you have fifth-graders walking around the elementary school and sixth graders with seventh and eighth graders that it is going to hit everybody,” Jones said. “I am sure we will have to do some adjustments and some support for ours students and teachers as part of the transition and we are prepared to do that.” Just getting the schools to this point and finding space that fit the needs of the different teachers being moved around has taken a group effort, Lynch said. Several people did numerous school tours, walking around to evaluate the sizes and positions of classrooms to see how they best could be used. “It has been tedious and it has taken awhile, but we started in the fall doing that so we would be

ready once the board of supervisors approved the allocation of the funds,” she said. It is going to take some time to get everybody used to the changes, Jones said. Powhatan has had a configuration of kindergarten to fourth grade, fifth and sixth, and seventh and eighth separately for a number of years, so the staff will have to take some time and carefully support people through the change, he added. Many people were anxious to know where they were going to be and what they were going to be teaching, Lynch said. Whenever anybody’s jobs are being discussed, people always become tense. “Everyone was really waiting to see when they would find out what their assignment would be. That is an important thing to them. It is their income and affects them and their families. There was some anxiety about it because it affects people’s livelihood,” she said. Jones said staff has had personal conversations with most if not all of the teachers and “they’ve been fantastic.” “Change is difficult and some people have been working at one location or in one room for quite some time, but I’m

employees “whose political options are otherwise limited by the Hatch Act,” Lauck said. Instead, the statute broadens their eligibility to run for local office, thus increasing the pool of potential candidates, “which promotes opportunity for greater involvement in the democratic process.” Lauck also refuted the Republicans’ claims that if voters aren’t told about a particular candidate’s party on a ballot, they may become confused and that the statute “injures them” by giving state and federal candidates the right to use party identifiers. The statute denies the right to all local candidates equally, and any advantage gained by candidates running at a different level of government “does not affect candidates running for an unrelated position,” she said.

Reactions to decision McSweeney said the local Republican Committee and the individual plaintiffs plan to appeal Lauck’s decision on the principle basis that the court failed to acknowledge the decision of another federal court, New Alliance Party v. North Carolina State Board of Elections, which held that a North Carolina statute’s treatment of local candidates that was different from its treatment of state candidates was unconstitutional. “Her opinion also did not address several of our arguments, which will provide additional grounds for requesting that her decision be set aside and the case sent back to her for a decision consistent with the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals that we will seek and expect to receive,” McSweeney said. Marcellus said that the biggest disappointment for him, win or lose, was the state not fighting for transparency for the voters. Besides republicans and democrats, an independent cannot separate themselves from somebody who identifies with a party. “I support an appeal. Not only do we have the transparency issues, but there is still the fundamental issue of lack of fairness,” he said. “Why does one person get the party affiliation and not another? Because I didn’t get it, that was an impediment I had to overcome.” The issue was more sensitive for Marcellus than any of the other plaintiffs because his opponent in the 2015 general election was incumbent Larry Nordvig, who successfully ran for the District 2 supervisor seat as a republican in a special election on Feb. 10, 2015. However, on May 18, Nordvig publically split with the party. In arguments in the injunction hearing, McSweeney had said some voters might be confused as to who the republican in that race is if they were not aware of the split. “The injunction would have been helpful. We would have mitigated some voter confusion in the November election,” Marcellus said. “I am not necessarily certain it would have made a difference in my particular case, but if it was under 50 votes, I bet you it would have.” Michael Kelly, director of communications for the Office of Attorney General Mark Herring, said it did not have any additional comment on the judge’s decision at this time.

really proud of how everybody has accepted the challenge and is dealing with the change that we are going to have to work through for the next couple of years,” he said. One big adjustment is purely logistical, and that is regarding parking for staff and visitors, Jones said. Pocahontas Elementary and Middle Schools are each getting an additional grade level, and neither had an abundance of parking from the beginning. There are plans to do some staff parking in the middle of the bus loop that the two schools share, but parent pick up and drop off is going to be hectic at those two schools, Jones said. Parents will be encouraged to let their students ride the bus to and from school to help cut down on that congestion and delays.

Parent adjustments At this point, Jones said he doesn’t think parents have felt impacted yet. He said he hasn’t received any negative feedback about the coming change but has heard plenty of excitement about the new building and the younger students having a chance to go to a new school and not the junior

high as it is currently constructed. “I anticipate that the greatest parent concern will be from the sixth grade parents whose homerooms are at Pocahontas Elementary about having to move for their electives and lunch over into the middle school every day, especially on days where it is cold and rainy. I am sure there is going to be some concern about that and some angst about that,” Jones said. With most renovation projects like this, a school district would have a large number of trailers that are outside behind the school and students would be walking back and forth from outside to inside as part of that project, he said. Powhatan is lucky it doesn’t have trailers, just students moving between two permanent buildings, he said. Everybody involved basically feels staff has worked at this and this is the right time to be making these moves – while students all fit together in these buildings at the same time and several trailers don’t have to be added to accommodate overflow, Lynch said.

Powhatan catcher Logan Amiss his a 2-run home run in the bottom of the first inning that wrapped around the foul pole down the right field line. Amiss had a standout game for the Indians against Western Albemarle.

Two home runs power Powhatan By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

t the Powhatan baseball home opener on March 24, the Indians had two home runs of note. The first was just inside the foul pole. The second landed on the Powhatan softball field. Those home runs, hit by Logan Amiss and Cole Biringer respectively, accounted for five of the Indians’ six runs in a 6-3 win over Jefferson district foe Western Albe-

marle. “It was a good win,” Powhatan baseball coach Gregg Conner said. “We needed that one. We had two close games and we couldn’t quite get over the hump. Tonight, we played the way we were supposed to.” Powhatan’s Dillon Hall started on the mound and allowed a leadoff single, but a 6-4-3 double play and a routine groundball got him out of the first inning. In the bottom of the first, Ross Lewis had a leadoff double and Adam Seal moved him to third with some small ball on a sac-

rifice bunt. Two batters later that small ball mindset didn’t matter as Amiss hit his home run, a ball that Amiss himself didn’t initially believe would go fair. “I thought it was for sure foul,” he said. “It was in those trees over there. But, it felt good to get a good team win.” The ball did go fair though and the Indians had a 2-0 lead. Hall got the first two batters in the top of the second, but then lost command and threw 10 balls in a row and three walks in a

row total. But, he ended the inning with three strikes in a row to sit Matt Mandell down, leaving three runners on. The Warriors got a run back in the top of the third, when Chris Hughes scored on a Sam Hearns single. It wouldn’t be until the top of the fifth inning when the Warriors would strike again. Hearn had a double that brought in two runners and put Western Albemarle ahead 3-2. see HOMERS page 2B

Powhatan’s Parker Massengill (3) battles for space against Midlothian in the boys lacrosse team’s debut into VHSL competition.

The Powhatan boys lacrosse team had two very tough matchups in the first two regular season games in VHSL competition for the program. Seeing two established programs early in the program’s existence and exposing the young Indians players to what the lacrosse teams in the area are like can do nothing but help the Indians grow as the season moves forward. Right now, though, it can be a tough pill to swal-

low. “The ‘L’s kind of hurt,” Powhatan head coach Chris Muss said. “But, it’s all about gaining momentum. (Playing Midlothian and Benedictine) lets us know what our competition is about. The Richmond area is pretty stacked. It’s not an easy district to be in and not an easy district to win in.” On Wednesday, the Indians went up against a brick wall in the Benedictine defense, as well as a balanced offense which led to an 11-1 final. The game started as a

defensive battle, with four minutes elapsing before Benedictine found the goal for a 1-0 lead. Two more goals came in quick succession for the Cadets after the first one and it was a 3-0 hole the Indians were in the first quarter. Powhatan was able to get some offense going and pressure the Cadets’ keeper, but the Benedictine defense was able to deflect most Indians offensive attempts. The Indians had an acsee INDIANS page 3B

Fanz wins 50 free at NCSA meet By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Casey Fanz traveled to Orlando, Fla. last week from March 1719 for the NCSA Junior Nationals swim meet. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back to Virginia empty handed. Fanz, a member of the Poseidon Swim Team, swam a 25.72 in the 50 meter freestyle to take home the gold medal in the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went with a best time and broke my own state record in that,â&#x20AC;? Fanz said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, that was pretty cool.â&#x20AC;? Fanz said that the 50 free is such a high paced race that when she was swimming, she had no idea how well she was doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of a surprise,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a whole lot of time to figure out where you are. I touched the wall and saw my time and was like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oh my goodness.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of my better events, but it was a pleasant surprise that I won the whole thing.â&#x20AC;? Fanz also scored for Poseidon individually in the 100 free, where she

finished 12th, and the 100 back in which she finished 19th. She was also a part of the 200 free relay team which finished third and also set a new Virginia Swimming record time. Fanz finished ninth as part of the 800 free relay team, fifth on the 400 free relay team and the same finish as part of the 400 medley relay team. Poseidonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team finished seventh overall among 200 teams that competed from across the country at the NCSA

Junior Nationals. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team from Poseidon was 11th, while Poseidon as a program overall was sixth. But, Fanzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win was the first time she had won the 50 at NCSA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a first time win for me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really exciting. That was my last NCSAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever. So, it was really good to go out on top.â&#x20AC;? This NCSA meet was a target for Fanz and her training, as she said that she had been training all season for the races in Or-

lando. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my really big championship meet,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have performed that well was really great.â&#x20AC;? Next up for Fanz is a little meet in Omaha, Neb. at the end of Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the 2016 US Olympic Trials. She said that her performance at the NCSA is a bit of a preview of how she might perform come the start of the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still have two more months of training,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited with how I performed and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited for

the Olympic Trials.â&#x20AC;? Fanz said that being just 17-years-old and going to the meet means that she has no pressure on her at all. She can just go out and swim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to go and give it my best shot,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do some more specialized sprint training, so hopefully my sprints will get better.â&#x20AC;?

Knights grab two wins By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot played two games on the soccer pitch last week, and both games ended with the same result. Fortunately for the Knights, both results were 4-1 wins in favor of Blessed Sacrament. First, on Monday at home, Reed Hildebrand and Colby Johnson each scored two goals to power the Knights past Greenbrier Christian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game against Greenbrier was our first home game of the season and we started off very strong,â&#x20AC;? soccer coach Grayson Lovern wrote in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really pleased with the way we asserted ourselves in the first five minutes of the

game and took control.â&#x20AC;? Hildebrand scored both of his goals very quickly, both of which were the result of his speed being able to beat the Gatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense in one-on-one matchups. On Tuesday, four different Knights combined for the offensive production in a 4-1 win over Southampton Academy. Nathan Radossevich, Brian Lee, Nick Cheseldine and Michael Maranto scored the goals for the Knights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing back-to-back Monday and Tuesday was a challenge I think to which our players responded well,â&#x20AC;? Lovern wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was really glad we were able to carry the effort from Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game into Tuesday. Anytime we travel to Southampton Academy we know we are going to face

a challenge. They always have a talented, disciplined soccer team. I was really proud of our playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance in that game. I think it was the first time all season we put two really strong halves together and played a complete game. Being able to get our first conference win of the season at their place was huge.â&#x20AC;? The Knights had a setback on March 18 against Fuqua and Lovern said he was happy with his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to bounce back this past week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to get some good results against some of the better teams of the conference,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being able to travel to Isle of Wight Academy and Southampton and get out without a loss is no small feat.â&#x20AC;? Some new faces have

been able to make contributions this season so far for the Knights, specifically Nathan Radossevich and James Hawkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nathan flashed some last season for us, but so far he has really played

some good soccer,â&#x20AC;? Lovern wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;James is an eighth grader who plays goalie for the JV team. His number has been called a good bit to play in the defense for the varsity team and every time

he has stepped up to the challenge.â&#x20AC;? Andie Fowkes leads the Knights with three goals, while a few others have two. Matt Schiefer has a team-high five assists.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt good to string some hits together and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that I got a hit in a time of need,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt pretty good.â&#x20AC;? Just one Warriors runner would get on base the rest of the game, with Church coming on in a two-inning closer type role as part of a pitcher by committee. Church closed the game out with three strikeouts and just one hit. The Indians will spend their spring break in Myrtle Beach, SC for four days playing baseball against some high level competition. However, the trip to Myrtle Beach and the baseball is just part of the experience for the Indians.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a team building thing,â&#x20AC;? Conner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play four games and go out to dinner and go ride go-karts and all that kind of thing. Everyone will get to play. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little more laid back atmosphere, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my last chance to really get a great evaluation of everyone.â&#x20AC;? At the Mingo Bay Classic, Powhatan will be in the same division as Portsmouth Christian, a team from South Carolina and a team from West Virginia. The Indians will play at home on April 7 postbreak

Continued from page 1B

The Indians would have an immediate answer, though. Matthew Church started the inning with a single, and Lewis moved him to second with a sacrifice bunt. After Seal got on base as well, Biringer unloaded on a 2-1 pitch that landed very, very far away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The long ball never hurts,â&#x20AC;? Conner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a couple of real big hits tonight. (Biringerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home run) was a pretty good one.â&#x20AC;? Biringer said that it was his first ever high school home run.

Indians softball takes down Warriors By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s softball team bounced back from an early week loss to go into the break with a win. Harley Conner was 2 for 3 with a triple and 4 RBIs to lead the Indians past Western Albemarle 80 on March 24. Ali Celiberti was 2 for 3 with a double and 2 RBIs at the plate and also pitched five scoreless innings on the mound. Mason Basdikis, who pitched two shutout innings for the Indians, had a double and 2 RBIs for the Indians. The Indians fell to Dinwiddie 5-3 on Monday. Powhatan had a 2-0 lead before the Generals got to Celiberti on the mound in the top of the sixth with a five-run inning. The Indians got one run back in the bottom of the sixth, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complete the comeback. Celiberti and Basdikis each had doubles and Harley had a triple and a RBI. BOYS SOCCER Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boys soccer team had a 1-0 lead on the Western Albemarle Warriors in the first half. The Warriors came alive offensively and

robatic goal scored by Jared Somerville, who ran behind the goal, dove, and scored. But, the goal was waved off as Somerville was ruled to have been in the crease. The Cadets would score two more goals to close out the first quarter and three more in the second to lead 9-0 at the half. Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense had multiple opportunities in the second quarter, getting shots off on the Cadetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; keeper, but with 22 saves on the day, Alex Choate was difficult to beat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goalie just came

scored four unanswered goals to take down the Indians 4-1 on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The effort was definitely there,â&#x20AC;? coach Dustin Tracoma said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a midfield, we got really stretched out. Not necessarily anyone in the middle to really protect us. There was 30 yards of open space out there.â&#x20AC;? Senior Dalton Barr got the lone goal for the Indians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a fantastic goal,â&#x20AC;? Tracoma said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was outside the 18 and beat three players and put it in the right corner of the goal. Will Hayden had the assist. It was a clever turn, a chip over two defenders to get Dalton into space.â&#x20AC;? The Indians had a few offensive chances to try and get back into the game, but the attempts were off target. The Indians are still looking to gel on the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still trying to find that exact formation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make us lethal,â&#x20AC;? Tracoma said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done the running and endurance. Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing but technical stuff.â&#x20AC;? Tracoma said that he thinks the break will be good for his players, though those that will be around will practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be good for evoff a game where he was at 80 percent (save percentage,â&#x20AC;? Muss said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got 99 percent today. That goalie is on. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat a goalie that is on.â&#x20AC;? Parker Massengill was the one-percent that was able to beat Choate, however. Massengill, who was working in the trenches of the Benedictine defense throughout the game, got one past with 51.8 seconds remaining in the third quarter to make it a 10-1 game. Benedictine was able to answer 20 seconds later to make it 11-1, which would be the final. On Monday in Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut, Midlothian won 16-1. Jeffrey Hoyt scored the first goal for the Indians in the history

eryone,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be a good break for everyone and give them time to absorb everything that has happened. They should come back ready to go.â&#x20AC;? BASEBALL Coleman Smith was 2 for 3 with a home run as Blessed Sacrament Huguenot fell to Isle of Wight 15-6 on Monday. The Knights were able to get out to a 1-0 thanks to an RBI single in the bottom of the first. But, after the Chargers

were shut down in the first inning prior to the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; run, Isle of Wight scored at least two runs each inning from the second to the sixth. Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home run in the bottom of the third was a solo shot. The Knights tried to continue off the momentum from the solo homer with back-to-back singles, but a 5-4-3 double play ended the inning. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot would get three more runs in the bottom of

of the boys lacrosse program and the only of the game against the Trojans. Muss said that it is all about progress and learning forward as the team figures out how to navigate the waters of VHSL lacrosse competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming out of the first game, we had some shock and awe and nothing working with just 12 shots to doubling out shots today,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to control the time with our defense. Last week, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear the ball. This week, we cleared it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still making progress. Once we get our offense jiving, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see something in the back of the net.â&#x20AC;? After spring break, the Indians will travel to Man-

chester on April 4 before hosting Hanover on April 6. Muss said that getting the offense going is just a matter of getting the players communicating and on the same page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working hard,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be focused on. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep the defense limber, but really focus on offense. We might rewrite some things. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still some things that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t firing right, some confusion out there between attack and middies on what play weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at. But, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get it straight.â&#x20AC;? Billy Fellin can be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.

Powhatan native appointed general counsel Contributed report Powhatan native Keisha Dawn Bell was officially appointed general counsel of the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) recently by Secretary of Defense Ash Carter. Bell has served as the acting general counsel since early 2015 and as deputy general counsel since 2013, when she joined DCMA. In announcing her appointment, Air Force Lt. Gen. Wendy Masiello, the director of DCMA, noted that Bell â&#x20AC;&#x153;served with excellence as acting general counsel and will continue to lead the DCMA legal community to outstanding results and success.â&#x20AC;? Prior to joining DCMA, Bell served as the deputy general counsel of the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) for five years. Before her tenure with the MSPB, Bell served almost 14 years with the U.S. Department

of Justice in both the Civil Division and the Civil Rights Division as a trial attorney, senior litigation counsel and senior trial attorney. Immediately prior to joining the MSPB, Bell was deputy chief of the Housing and Civil Enforcement Section of the Civil Rights Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as general counsel of DCMA in the Richmond area, a place about an hour from Powhatan County where I grew up and where my journey to make a positive difference in the lives of others began so many years ago,â&#x20AC;? Bell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since joining DCMA, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the opportunity to work with so many amazing people who are dedicated public servants supporting our workforce across the globe. They are committed to making a positive difference and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve with them and be one of their leaders.â&#x20AC;? As the general counsel, Bell

will be responsible for supporting an agency with more than 1,000 locations around the world overseeing over 340,000 active contracts with a total val-

BELL ue of more than $6.5 trillion. The total DCMA workforce is comprised of more than 11,000 civilian and military acquisition professionals handling contracts for the Department of Defense, 14 federal agencies and NATO allies. Bell received her Bachelor of

Arts in economics/business from Randolph-Macon College where she was an honors program graduate and an All-American basketball player. She received her Juris Doctor from the T.C. Williams School of Law, University of Richmond, where she was a member of the Moot Court Board and recipient of the Bureau of National Affairs Law Student Award. She is also a graduate of the Federal Executive Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leadership for a Democratic Society Program. Bell credits her family with creating the foundation for her success in life. Bell said the trajectory of her life, her passion for the pursuit of justice and strong commitment to service can be traced back to her family and its roots in Powhatan County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you grow up in a family of trailblazers who are so committed to the pursuit of justice and equality and who believe so strongly in the im-

portance of service, your perspective on life is built upon the inextinguishable belief that you can â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and must â&#x20AC;&#x201D; make a positive difference in the lives of others,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents ensured that all five of their children understood the importance of faith, integrity and service. They instilled in each of us a passion for making a positive difference in the lives of others. Their example of courage and abiding resolve has always been a source of strength for me and my older siblings who boldly paved the way for me to discover my potential. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here today without my familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many efforts, sacrifices, love and support. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about my appointment as general counsel and I am looking forward to continuing my partnership with the other senior leaders of the agency, as well as the talented DCMA workforce, to accomplish great things and make a positive difference.â&#x20AC;?
