Public speaks up on county spending By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Public comments were pretty evenly split last week at the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors meeting between people who called for more fiscal responsibility and others who say the county has needs to be met. At the board’s meeting on Monday, April 18, a total of 18 people spoke during public hearings regarding the county’s fiscal year 2017 operating budget, proposed at $78.8 million without transfers; the FY 2017 Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP), proposed at $80.2 million for capital projects and other capital programs, and the potential issuance of $54.5 million in bonds to

fund capital improvement needs. Statements from the public ranged from saying the county shouldn’t be burdening taxpayers with more debt to a call to meet public safety, education and other needs despite the cost. Near the end of the same meeting, Larry Nordvig, who represents District 2, introduced an idea to redirect budget funds and cut CIP projects in an effort to save money, but holes in the plan were pointed out that made it apparent the concept PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND wouldn’t fly with most of his fellow board Karla Curtis of Powhatan speaks during a public hearing at the board of members. supervisors meeting while others wait their turn to voice their opinions.

OWHATAN – As Betty McCracken handed 8year-old Harry Strat a free rain gauge and told him about pollinators, he looked on with interest. When the Powhatan boy was asked what he learned from talking to McCracken about pollinators, he said simply, “they help plants grow.” For McCracken, chair of the Powhatan Earth Day Celebration committee, seeing Harry’s interest and excitement was a great start to the county’s annual recognition of Earth Day. Held on Wednesday, April 20 on the Powhatan County Courthouse Green, the event’s eighth year was marked by perfect weather and more vendors and people in attendance than in previous years, she said.

POWHATAN – With continued good weather in the coming months, work is on schedule to have Powhatan State Park’s new campgrounds and canoe/kayak slide open this fall, park officials say. The $3.9 million construction project should be completed in late summer and hopefully will be operational before the end of the camping season in November, Matthew O’Quinn, park manager, said. Construction, which was awarded to Kenbridge Construction, is on time at this point, he added. “The progress is weather dependant, but with a lot of sunny days ahead we hope the rain doesn’t cause a significant delay,” he said.

POWHATAN – The results of a recent study show that Powhatan County’s lack of access to broadband is probably worse that people thought and is a growing detriment and liability to the county. Caroline Stolle, PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND broadband program administrator for the Cen- Caroline Stolle speaks ter for Innovative Tech- about Powhatan’s nology (CIT), spoke to broadband situation. the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors during its meeting on Monday, April 18 about the results of a citizen broadband study. The study was conducted this winter with a goal of providing an in-depth look at the current broadband environment in the county, she said. This is part of an overall goal of expanding broadband throughout the county. CIT found that more than half of the residents in the study don’t have access to true broadband and aren’t likely to get it based on what is being offered by current providers. “Broadband affects everything. In this day and age, there is not really one part of the community’s life that doesn’t have some sort of impact in broadband,” Stolle said. “So when you are talking about the main issues that Powhatan is having, speed is definitely the biggest concern. When you have such slow speeds, they simply cannot support the larger applications. Especially moving into the future, that speed is just going to be useless.”

More than 99 percent of respondents in the study use a computer and have one at home, she said. Only 9 percent of those asked said they have no access to Internet at all at home, but 90 percent of them are in the age group likely to have children and all of them are within the workforce age group, Stolle said. When asked why they don’t have Internet access at home, 89 percent of those said it isn’t available, 6

Several vehicles were spotted in the area of the culde-sac, which is unusual for that time of night, he added. At about 3 a.m., the video showed that a white truck backed up to the business and the two men came out carrying the safe on the dolly. The men dropped the safe, got it back up and onto the truck, entered the truck and then start to drive away, Gregory said. At that point, the safe fell off the truck, he said. The suspects did not

POWAHTAN – The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a group of suspects who attempted to break into a local business but were ultimately foiled by a safe. In the early hours of Wednesday, April 6, two men broke into Murray Automotive in the 1700 block of Douthit Court and attempted to break into a safe at the business, according to Detective A.R. Gregory with the sheriff’s office. Security cameras register two men breaking into the business sometime between 2:20 and 2:40

attempt to pick it up again and left the scene. The safe was discovered outside by the owner, who called the sheriff’s office at 7:26 a.m., he said. “We are pretty confident they were trying to steal inspection stickers because they were secured in the safe,” Gregory said. The break-in remains under investigation. The suspects had not been apprehended at press time. The sheriff’s office is asking anyone with any information to contact Powhatan Crime Solvers at 804-403-4357 or the Powhatan Sheriff’s Office at 804-598-5656.

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with safe driving Contributed Report Cinco de Mayo approaches and with it parties and fun for many. However, for several years these festivities have brought with them a high price in death and injury due to the “buzzed” driver. Historically Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexico’s military victory over France during the Franco-Mexican War at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. The goal at the Powhatan Sheriff’s Office is to reduce and illuminate this cost. Nationally in 2014, 343 people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes during the Cinco de Mayo holiday weekend, and 34 percent of these deaths (116 people) involved drunk driving. Many of these drunk drivers were “buzzed” drivers and 17 percent (one in five) had a blood alcohol concentration of more than .15 grams per deciliter or higher. The sheriff’s office urges people to enjoy the holiday and make it stress free by having a designated driver or calling a cab or a friend. The key to this is planning. Plan your weekend before it begins and stick to the plan. Before you start drinking: Leave your keys at home. Know how you are getting home.

Have the phone numbers for taxi service or nondrinking friends saved in your phone. Go out with a group and have a designated driver. The NHTSA’s SaferRide is a free app you can download from iTunes, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ saferride/id950774008?mt=8, or Google Play, https:// play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nhtsa. SaferRide&hl=en. This app helps you to locate where you are so others can find you more easily. Remember, when you feel buzzed you have reached a blood alcohol where you cannot drive safely. The Powhatan Sheriff’s Office has extra DUI patrols out for Cinco de Mayo and all of the celebratory holidays. The consequences for being arrested for DUI continue to mount. The fines and license restrictions are stiff. Court costs, attorney fees add to that along with vehicle repairs, towing and storage and lost work and wages. The average cost of a DUI is now around $10,000. In certain circumstances there are mandatory jail sentences. Look out for your friends. Don’t let them get behind the wheel drunk.

The event will be held from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday, May 6 on the Barham-Sowers Field on the school grounds. The Beef and Music Festival is the most critical fundraiser for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, as well as a great way to introduce the Greater Richmond community to the spirit of BSH. Due to the fact that tuition only covers a portion of the true cost of operating BSH each year and educating its children, the school counts on the Beef and Music

Festival to close the funding gap. Traditionally this annual event draws a crowd of about 1,000 people from the Greater Richmond community to the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School campus to enjoy BBQ, great outdoor live music and a chance at an amazing raffle grand prize of $5,000, which comes with each raffle ticket. This year the event will feature the musical talents of the Jangling Reinharts. Meals of pork and beef barbeque, as well as chicken tenders for the children will be provided by PQ’s BBQ.

There will also be bounce houses, face painting and other activities for the kids. The adults can try their hand at the corn hole tournament while they enjoy the music. Tickets are available on the school website (www.bshknights.org) or by coming to the main office of the school located at 2501 Academy Road in Powhatan. Tickets purchased online can be picked up at “will call” on the day of the Festival or at the school during school hours (8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday).

Powhatan Today, April 27, 2016

Spending Continued from page 1A

Fiscal responsibility About half of the people who spoke during the public hearings urged the board to not raise taxes and focus on bringing businesses in first before signing on for new debt.

HOOVER Among several points Sam Epps of Powhatan made was that Powhatan County needs to build its infrastructure first and attract businesses to help support large scale projects for the schools and county. This needs to be done, he said, before the county starts “borrowing money and spending money that the taxpayer in the county just does not have.” John Hoover of Powhatan didn’t go into specific details about concerns and even acknowledged the difficult decisions the supervisors have to make. However, he reminded them that the county’s children and grandchildren will have to pay for Powhatan’s debt. “I know sitting up there it is tough when you have to spend money. I don’t want to throw anybody under the bus. I would just like to beg everyone here to be very cognizant of who is actually paying this debt,” he said. Several of the speakers brought up campaign prom-

SILBERBAUER ises made by the supervisors when they were running for office in fall 2015. Don Silberbauer of Powhatan pointed to individual statements made by Chairman Bill Melton, District 4, Angie Cabell, District 3, and Carson Tucker, District 5, during the campaign committing to not raise taxes. To do that, the supervisors need to put the real estate tax rate at 85 cents to keep an effective tax rate. When a county is reassessed and the tax rate is put at a rate that may be different but doesn’t cause an increase or decrease in people’s taxes on average, that is an effective tax rate. Silberbauer went on to point out some county residents want to keep Powhatan rural while others want state-of-the-art facilities, all of which take a great deal of money. “The problem is, you can’t be all things to all people,” he said. He also talked about Powhatan’s lack of “identity”; a real estate tax rate that is the ninth highest in the state; the fact that economic development takes years and needs to be underway now, and the fact that the housing market has seen assessments going up but not the price people can get for their homes or the demand for people wanting to live here. Tim Gresham of Powhatan said he wanted to

talk about three main topics – spending, taxes and character. He pointed out that while individuals are tightening their belts, the county is increasing its spending more and more. “When you increase spending like that, it leaves citizens like me with even less to live on in our homes because we are paying increased taxes,” he said. He also pointed to supervisors promising in the fall not to increase tax rates as part of their campaigns but now making moves that point to approving a tax increase. He said it is an issue of character if they vote for an increase after those promises. Gresham also said the “schemes that are being looked at now simply will add to the cost of taxpayers down the road.” He said there are residents barely getting by who look to the supervisors to spend their money wisely and not “to say yes to every spending opportunity that comes along.” Other subjects brought up by residents regarding fiscal responsibility include: the higher cost of maintaining new buildings over older buildings; the need to prioritize the CIP projects instead of doing them all at one time; suggesting saving for a few more years so the county doesn’t have to borrow as much money or pay so much interest; pointing out the fact that the county hasn’t even finished paying off Flat Rock Elementary and Powhatan High schools; the incongruity of reducing proffers paid by developers but wanting to increase taxes; a supposition that the supervisors are not listening to residents but doing what they want

The only way Powhatan can move away from 92 percent of the county’s revenue coming directly from residents is if the county focuses on economic development, she said. “Now is the time. We have a strategic plan for economic development. I really want you to keep in the budget all of the tactical items that need to be put in place so that we can have true economic development in this county.” Curtis’ comments especially focused on the need to bring broadband to the county and referenced a community meeting on the subject that drew a large crowd. The local business owner said that to attract more businesses, the county needs to implement its economic development plan. “It distresses me to hear someone question whether we need the funding for

CURTIS in the county who do not have coverage, he said. Karla Curtis of Powhatan said the focus of the board of supervisors in the last 10 years seems to have been on having the lowest possible tax rate to keep the county’s doors open, which was a short-term focus rather than a long-term focus on economic development.

broadband in this county,” she said. “I came to the community meeting when people came and talked about broadband and person after person stood here and said, ‘I will pay more taxes if I can have broadband.’ ” Lummie Jones of Powhatan said that while she appreciates previous supervisors keeping the county rural, as a realtor she knows people looking to move here want the kind of facilities and amenities up for proposal. “They’ve got to have broadband unless you want to just do away with growth. The growth has been limited in this county. The values on your houses are not going up … primarily because we do not have high speed internet,” she said. “That seems ridiculous in some ways, but the truth of the matter is times have changed. The truth is that people have to have that to make a living. They have to have that for their children to learn. And either we have to come into this time or not.” The county has an opportunity for growth by not reducing the real estate tax rate but keeping it at 90 cents, Jones said. Andrew Snead said that unlike many of his generation, he decided to buy a

off; put emphasis on education and public safety, and make Powhatan a place that attracts younger generations. “Can you put a price tag on our future? Can you put a price tag on the quality of life? It is worth it. It is worth the investment to ensure that we have a bright future not only for your generation but for my generation and the generation that will hold our children,” he said. Other subjects brought up by residents regarding meeting the county’s growing needs include: having the supervisors stand by their oaths not only to protect but increase the quality of life of residents; not letting a natural penchant to be comfortable keep the county from growing; recognizing that paying taxes is a responsibility and part of being a citizen; commending the board for not being too open with the county’s money; needing to talk to state and federal elected officials about many of the budget increases that are actually unfunded mandates that the county has no choice in fulfilling; the fact that delaying the projects doesn’t save money because the cost of the tasks go up over time; making sure as the county considers the various projects that they get the best deal for the money that will be paid for by the citizens, and recognizing that investing in the county’s children now is a wise investment and that schools today are training students for jobs that don’t even exist yet.

reduce early payments, deferring spending on about $15 million worth of big ticket CIP projects, and cutting items from the operating budget. The plan he offered suggested cutting from the CIP the public safety communications system ($9.2 million); sally port expansion on the Powhatan County Courthouse ($2.4 million), and the joint vehicle maintenance facility ($3.7 million). He said his priority was the renovation and rebuilding of Powhatan Junior High School into a new middle school. He proposed coupling those cuts to the CIP with cuts in the operating budget in areas such as a new librarian, animal control cages, reducing board of supervisors travel comp pay, a new director of emergency communications, and parking lots. “What I am looking for in this budget is to hit the right balance, a reasonable approach to being able to pay for services that we deem are absolutely necessary and then move down the priority list, and when we decide we have run out of money, stop buying stuff until we can afford it,” Nordvig said. He also wanted to go with a bond scenario that would involve interestonly payments for the first four years and suggested prepaying debt on certain other bonds as the county was able to realize more savings. Both Melton and Tucker commended Nordvig for the work he put into the scenario and the thoughtful discussion his plan sparked. However, Melton and Cabell expressed frustration that this discussion was not done months ago during budget workshops. Nordvig said he didn’t mean to cause frustration. He said he was trying to think outside the box to offer another approach to the issue. County administrator Pat Weiler said that bond

agreements usually do not allow the borrower to prepay on the principle for the first 10 to 15 years. While the county has older debts, most of them have been refinanced, which starts that clock over again on being able to prepay, she said. She also pointed out that six of the line items in the operating budget that Nordvig suggested cutting were being funded with capital maintenance reserve, not real estate taxes. Any changes made to those do not impact the operating budget, she said. That meant the total changes he proposed that would be effective only added up to $122,550 instead of the roughly $300,000 he was trying to achieve. An additional $390,000 for planning on the communications system and sally port that Nordvig asked about also could not be used for savings because those funds have already been spent, she said. Weiler said county staff and Davenport & Company LLC, the county’s investment firm, are still looking at options to try to save money. Nordvig asked Davenport to come up with figures that show what would happen if some of the CIP projects are staggered into the future and no additional real estate tax rate increase of two pennies would be needed for the projects. Weiler said she would but she also felt confident that when the county’s debt service drops off in four years, that is when the county can afford the extra projects if they were deferred. Tucker asked that inflation and bond issuance costs, which are charged each time a group of bonds are taken out, be taken into account.

The Pocahontas Middle School Student Council Association held a pet food drive for the Powhatan Animal Shelter. The students collected canned and dry food and blankets for the cats and dogs. The students also voted to donate $750 from the recent dance profits to the animal shelter.

There were plenty of opportunities for adults and children alike to learn and have fun. Cathy Howland, 4-H youth development extension agent with Powhatan Cooperative Extension, helped make seed pots out of old newspapers. Children created the pots out of the newspapers, which recycles it, and then filled it with soil and a plant to take home and nurture. “You put them in the ground and they decompose naturally. It is an environmentally friendly pot,” she said. Susan Smith and Tina Winfree with the Powhatan County Farm Bureau Women’s Committee gave out kits that let students create a bracelet while learning about how agriculture relates to what they eat. Each bead on the bracelet the children put together represents a different aspect of farmers

At other tables, attendees saw wild native animals such as an owl, turtle and squirrel; colored nature scenes to learn about the affects of light pollution; touched fibers that come from different farm animals, and made pinecone birdfeeders to put on a tree.

natural love of the outdoors would feed into the message of Earth Day and taking care of the environment. “I want them to have an appreciation for the environment and taking care of our planet,” she said. “The more you go to events like these, they learn more about why it is important.” While educating youth is important, engaging adults with different aspects of Earth Day was

Child abuse not something to ignore By Laura McFarland News Editor

child dies from abuse or neglect in Virginia every eight days. A child is abused or neglected in Virginia every 80 minutes. A child becomes homeless in Virginia every 28 minutes.* And if you think none of those statistics have anything to do with Powhatan County, you have your head in the sand. This week, I thought this column should start off in the same place it was going. For those who don’t know, April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. Personally, this writer thinks every moment of every day should be Child Abuse Awareness Minute, but then maybe people would become too desensitized to the message: The message being that children are dying. The message being that children are being hurt in unspeakable ways and people around them either don’t realize or don’t care. If it’s the former – we don’t realize – there is something that we as a community can do. We can educate ourselves about the signs of abuse, speak up when we think something is happening to a child, and not let someone’s public image fool us into thinking “There is no way she would hurt her child.” If it’s the latter – we don’t care – then we will continue to read stories about the bodies of little boys being found in septic tanks, toddlers dying from

abuse and neglect at the hands of the very people meant to protect them, and teens being subjected to years of sexual abuse that scars their hearts and minds for the rest of their lives. If it’s the latter, then we will forever be a society that sees a news story about another child dead in an unthinkable way, shakes our head and says “What is the world coming to?” and then forgets the child’s name minutes after reading the story. That is, if we even bothered to pay attention to the child’s name and not just how he or she died. We did something a little unusual this week by printing this column before it came out in print in this edition. The reason was we felt it was important to remind people that the second annual Powhatan’s Pinwheel Picnic was held on Saturday, April 23, on the front lawn of the Village Building at 3910 Old Buckingham Road. The event was a fun and family-friendly way for families to spend time together while receiving important and helpful resources from community partners on child abuse. They pointed out facts such as child abuse not being limited to physical harm. It also includes physical abuse, physical neglect, sexual abuse, and emotional/mental maltreatment. Or the facts that most child abuse and neglect is not a one-time event but usually occurs in a pattern over time, and that many children are subject to more than one form of abuse. Those resources also included education about how to help prevent child abuse – either by your own hands or the hands of those around you. Because you

need to disabuse yourself of the idea that all child abusers are bogeymen who are listed on some sex offender registry and if you hold your child’s hand in the grocery store no one will ever get them. You need to stop thinking that only children of a certain race or socioeconomic background are at risk from being abused by their parents. Sometimes abusers are otherwise normal people who struggle with stress, a painful childhood of their own, substance abuse, feelings of isolation, immaturity, inexperience with children or unmet emotional needs. Absolutely none of those reasons excuses abusing a child. It’s more that, through education and support, some of those situations can be turned around. But first, people have to realize there is a problem. Then they have to decide to do something about it, such as reporting it to the Powhatan County Department of Social Services at 804-598-5630 or the Child Protective Services Hotline at 800-552-7096. In emergency situations, call 911. This is not a call for a witch hunt to start looking at all of your neighbors with a gimlet eye and reporting them if they so much as raise their voice to their children. But it is a reminder that a society’s children are some of its most vulnerable citizens and therefore most in need of protection. *The statistics listed in the column are courtesy of the Virginia Coalition for Child Abuse Prevention.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Powhatan leaders need to plan for reducing debt Dear Editor, I confess that I do not follow Powhatan politics and government as I should. I also will claim my persuasion toward the conservative in cultural and political thought and proudly display my appropriately yellow Tea Party license plate as our modern day canary in the coal mine signaling the disaster that awaits our culture if change does not happen soon. So, you may appreciate how I read and was disappointed by the recent article in the Powhatan Today entitled “Understanding Powhatan’s Debt.” Search as I might through the many paragraphs defending the history and the current requests by agencies for funding, I could find no explanation of how this same governmental voice plans on repaying this debt. No economic plan for how the county might grow the tax base or tighten the spending belt or anything that remotely resembled the slightest concern for doing anything but spending the money. No balanced argument for how these expenditures will attract economic development or more taxpayers to share the burden of not just relying on the debt, but of actually retiring it. I personally find this both incredibly short-sighted and repulsive to the idea that our leadership is in the hands of intelligent representatives. At a time when our federal government is moment by moment increasing the debt burden on us all to the point that future generations cannot avoid being born with an indentured inheritance, I would hope that some sense of local perspective would prevail and offer a model of restraint. What I interpret from this article and the few people inside of our local government I have spoken with is that the Powhatan administration behaves like an infant child that cries loudly for more milk without the slightest concern for where it comes from or who pays for it. Not what I expect for the salaries and consulting fees our tax dollars pay for so-called professionals. With nothing more than a “spend and tax” attitude, it is predictable that Powhatan will soon become the model locality for just how expensive rural living can become and for any of us looking to the future this is a sure signal to consider selling out now before this news becomes common knowledge in the real estate market-

place. As families, we cannot in good conscience plan our own capital improvements without some plan of how they are to be paid for. When times demand, borrowing is most certainly the intelligent choice most of us make. But we also recognize that it cannot be a permanent condition and that provisions must be made for not just servicing the debt, but also for retiring it lest we become enslaved to it for our lives. Government would be well served by a similar approach to these decisions. Jim and Janet Tucker Powhatan County

Budget sounds complicated, but is actually really simple Dear Editor, The board of supervisors will soon be picking a budget that they believe best meets the needs of the county for the next year. This year, in addition to the annual budget, several bonds are being introduced. The budget is for fiscal year 2017 beginning effective July 1, but the bonds are for 20+ years. Payment to service the bonds are part of the budget and are made twice per year. Look at it as a mortgage payment. The total bond financing is called “debt obligation” that will last for the next 20+ years until the bond is paid off. Ms Weiler tried to explain the debt numbers in a previous week’s Powhatan Today article but it was confusing and misleading at best. It’s really simple: look at the county’s bond as a home mortgage. It’s made up of principle and interest. Ms. Weiler continually refers to the principle, which is only half of the story and makes our debt numbers look lower. The principle is the amount you need to buy your house. The interest is money the lender makes for lending you the principle. When you add these two together they become the “debt obligation.” Meaning, that is what you owe over the life of the loan. Now unless Aunt Tilly dies and leaves you a bunch of money to pay-off the “principle” early, you owe the mortgage amount payable in installments over the next 30 or so years. I would then ask the county managers, ”do we have an Aunt Tilly hiding

somewhere so we can pay off our bond early?” I doubt it! So the county is “on the hook” for the entire “debt obligation.” Now applying this idea to the county’s bonds, the “debt obligation” the county will pay out over the next 20+ years will be around $200 million. Why do I say “around”? Well there are six different versions of the bond funding in front of the board of supervisors for a final vote on May 2. Each one of the six bond scenarios has a slightly different borrowing technique and, as a result, each has a different “debt obligation,” all around $200 million over 20+ years. So again I say “around” to cover the different scenarios. Why are there six scenarios? Let’s look at a home mortgage once again. Monthly mortgage payments are split; some money goes toward interest and some toward principle. As time goes by principle is reduced until the principle is zero and the mortgage is paid. Because the annual bond payments are rather large (around $9 million/year) they have a significant impact on the county. So, to lower the budget impact, different scenarios have payments applied to interest only for a few years, thereby reducing the impact on the budget in early years. The problem with this approach is two-fold, the principle “balloons” after the initial years and more money must be borrowed to pay for the interest-only years. Why is this necessary? The county has approved new capital projects beyond our means to pay using normal “straight line” financing methods. A “debt obligation” of $200 million for a county the size of Powhatan is outrageous no matter how you carve up the payments. Let’s look at taxes and use an example: Our federal government has a spending problem and spends more than it collects in taxes, so the government has to borrow money to cover over-spending. Problem is, they have a borrowing limit. Every so often we hear in the news, our debt limit has been reached and Congress needs to raise the debt limit or there is a government shutdown. (Nothing big really shuts down and everyone still gets paid) but it’s called a shutdown. So Congress votes and the debt limit is raised. Now more can be borrowed from our friends. Powhatan has a similar problem, except we don’t borrow from friends. Our taxes go up and/or we borrow from a bank. Just an aside, Powhatan’s current real estate tax rate of $.90 is the ninth highest in all of see LETTERS page 10A

house 30 sites that can hold either tent campers or recreational vehicles (RVs) and a host site, Cameron Lipscomb, chief ranger, said. A new well house has been installed to supply water to the campground. The bathhouse features family and individual bathrooms and showers, several of which will be handicap accessible, he said. Construction crews are currently excavating the different camp sites, which will consist of 25-by-35-foot tent pad sites plus a driveway for cars or RVs, he said. “It’s been exciting for me because it’s a new resource for our park and it’s going to draw in a lot of guests that probably wouldn’t have come otherwise,” he said. “I’ve worked at bigger parks that had campgrounds and you kind of miss it.” The park worked out a deal with the contractors to have them install a parking lot and toilet for the campground and the park staff will finish the actual campsites, Lipscomb said. Boy Scout Troop 800 is planting the trees around the group campground and building the trail to the group campsites, which are located in a wooded area. Park staff will finish the campground with at least some help this summer from young volunteers with the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC). Having the youth work at the park is a boon for the park, he said. In 2015, a group of young girls worked on projects that included extending the River Trail. The new trail extension is about .7 miles long and is expected to be open to visitors in May. The group campground’s four 20-by20-foot tent pad sites will hold a combined 24 people, he said. The campground will be an excellent resource for Scouting troops, companies wanting to do team building trips, church retreats, and other groups. Workers have almost completed the park’s third canoe/kayak slide, although they still have to finish the parking lot and road that will service it, Lipscomb said. Having a third slide that is 2 miles downriver on the James River from the park’s first slide will open up new programming opportunities. It means not only having the chance to do shorter floats but also ones that don’t have to take participants to

percent said it is too expensive, and 5 percent gave other reasons. No one said they were not interested in having Internet, she added. The study also found that 100 percent of people 65 or older reported they do have Internet access at home. “The reason why this is interesting is typically we find this is our group that is most likely to not be adopting Internet. So the fact that not one citizen of 65 or older said they don’t have it is pretty impressive,” she said. What all these findings point to is there is a very high degree of interest in broadband in the county, Stolle said. Often when working with communities, one of the big hurdles is first tackling the ideas of awareness and proving to the citizens that it is worthwhile to subscribe to these technologies, but “that is simply not a problem in Powhatan County,” she added. The majority of the people who had Internet access at home (43 percent) had DSL with Verizon as the predominant provider, Stolle said. However, reporting speeds of 768 kilobytes per second (Kbps) to 1.3 megabytes per second (Mbps) are “incredibly slow,” she said. Those speeds don’t meet the lowest federally recognized definition of broadband, so “51 percent actually do not have access to what we consider true and sufficient broadband,” she said. Other types of connections

State park revenues that are generated through day use and overnight stays go back into the park system as a whole to operate the system.

The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation’s (DCR) mission is twofold, first the conservation aspect and then the recreation. “While we are committed to providing world class recreational opportunities to the citizens of Virginia, we are careful during any capital project to ensure our

people who responded to the survey had were a cable TV modem (27 percent), wireless connection (18 percent), cellular (6 percent), dial-up telephone line (2 percent), fiber optic (1 percent), and other (2 percent).

Connecting businesses Looking at the access businesses have to broadband was an important component since Powhatan is working on economic development. Of the people who participated in the survey, 16 percent reported owning a business and 95 percent of those say they utilize the Internet to support their business, Stolle said. Most considered themselves small business owners (89 percent), reporting zero to four employees, and a large portion of them described themselves as retail businesses, she said. Because slow Internet speeds put limits on them, 67 percent reported 0 to 10 percent of their sales are online sales. “They are really missing out on opportunities because of a lack of true broadband, because of their slow connection speeds,” Stolle said. Those businesses are using the same sources as citizens – DSL (37.84 percent), cable modem (21.62 percent), wireless (13.51 percent), dial up (12.16 percent), satellite or microwave (8.11 percent), T1/ T3/DS3 lines (5.4 percent) and other (1.35 percent). There was nothing that could support large business applications today, she said. The connection speeds the businesses reported were

noe/kayak slide open, there will be more areas to mow, clean, and maintain, so O’Quinn said he anticipates a significant increase in positions and jobs at the park. “The state park system has proven time and again to be an economic engine for Virginia’s economy by drawing tour-

alarmingly slow, with 65 percent saying they get 3 Mbps or less. About 28.4 percent of them reported having a connection of less than 200 kbps. “I can’t even picture how slow that is,” she said. To top it off, people are paying exorbitant amounts to get that subpar connection, she said. The national average for DSL cost is $8.89 per megabit. That means the 65 percent of businesses that reported getting 3 Mbps should be paying much less than they do, she said. Yet more than half of the businesses pay $50 or more for their services. “It is no surprise that when we asked why are you dissatisfied with your service, they said ‘the connection is too slow, price is too high, and service is unreliable,’” Stolle said. The fact that only 16 percent of the people surveyed reported that they own their own business in Powhatan might have broader implications. Stolle brought up the consideration that people who might be able to telecommute from home if they had a good Internet connection instead have to leave the county to work. “Would better broadband mean more businesses in the county and more telework opportunities, therefore reducing traffic and retaining your daytime expenditures,” she said.

Education and broadband As far as education, 44 percent of the survey takers said they have a child 18 years old or younger in the house. While 70 percent said their child

One issue regarding the campground opening that will continue to need to be looked at is the intersection at Maidens Road (Route 522) and Old River Trail (Route 617). The intersection has issues with sight visibility that are especially dangerous for longer vehicles such as horse trailers and RVS, which currently do not enter the park, O’Quinn said. A large widening project is scheduled for 2017. In preparation, the relocation of utilities – fiber optic cables and Virginia Dominion Power lines – at that intersection is expected to be finished sometime this summer, according to Lindsay LeGrand, spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). After the utility relocation is finished, VDOT is planning a temporary fix that will facilitate better access to the park until a larger solution can be completed, she said. “We plan on widening the pavement at that intersection so we can accommodate larger vehicles entering and exiting the park,” she said. “That project will be done by state forces and should only take a few weeks. We are thinking two to four weeks, depending on weather. That should be complete sometime this summer.” As planned, VDOT intends to advertise the road widening construction project in spring 2017 and to finish the project at the end of the year in 2017. At that intersection, Route 522 will shift about 10 to 12 feet to the east, which is away from the park, LeGrand said. The project also involves adding a turn lane on the northbound side of the road to turn from Route 522 onto Route 617 and a taper on the southbound side for turning.

needs access to complete homework assignments at least once a week, 12 percent reported not having any Internet access. For those that do have Internet access at home, because the survey has demonstrated how slow those connections are, “it is safe to assume that even for those folks completing those homework assignments is very difficult at home,” Stolle said. A high percentage of parents are using the internet to access their child’s school information, whether that be student-teacher portals or emailing the teachers, she said. Those who can’t use broadband to access these websites or email are missing out on opportunities to stay up to date with their child’s education.

Conclusions, solutions The issue is not that there is zero broadband in the county since 91 percent of people surveyed said they do have access to broadband. But 51 don’t have access to federally recognized broadband speeds, Stolle said. DSL is the most prevalent provider, and it is outdated and unlikely to be upgraded. Because of slow speeds, Powhatan is missing out on opportunities in businesses and education, as well as the county itself in its economic development plans, she said. Before offering a recommendation, Stolle pointed out that the Center for Innovative Technology does not receive money from any provider or provider type to recommend it. The organization firmly be-

lieves in whatever technology is going to better the community or county it is working with, which is why it is recommending fixed wireless as a possible solution for Powhatan, she said. There are issues with the alternatives that make them unlikely solutions, she said. Verizon, the major provider of DSL, is unlikely to be upgraded. It is difficult to make an argument to get Comcast to expand beyond an agreement already in place with the county. Satellite is extremely expensive, has limiting data caps and can be completely unreliable depending on the weather. Cellular is also too expensive and unreliable. “The dream of course for anybody is a fiber connection, although this is just going to be impossible in your more rural areas. It is way too expensive to community anchor institutions, let alone individual citizens within rural counties,” she said. On the other hand, fixed wireless is more cost effective, can deliver increasingly high speeds and can reach out to more rural parts of the county, Stolle said. Chairman Bill Melton, who represents District 4, thanked Stolle for CIT’s work on the survey. He said that one of the things that jumped out at him in the survey is that 90 percent of the people were being overcharged for poor service. Stolle pointed out that number relates to businesses but said individuals probably have similar numbers. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

A number of artists took the Mill at Fine Creek up on its offer to allow artists to come and paint the landscape at the mill during the week of April 10 to 15. The weather cooperated for most of the week, so plein air artists were able to set up in the sun and spend the days soaking in the scenery. Co-owner Mark Benusa said he was thrilled with the turnout throughout the week and the event will likely be repeated at a later date.

Powhatan Today in Amsterdam In March, Tracy and Valerie Spaur of Powhatan took along a copy of the Powhatan Today on their visit to the Netherlands. They posed with their Powhatan Today just outside Schiphol Airport. In Amsterdam, they visited the Tulip Museum, the Old Church built in the early 1300s , and the home of Corrie ten Boom, which is also known as The Hiding Place, where Jews were sheltered during World War II.

Virginia, including Northern Virginia. Why are taxes going up? Local government is growing despite county population slowing to a crawl. From 2000 to 2010 population grew 25 percent (Economic Development Strategic Plan 2015) but from 2010 to 2014 population growth slowed to 1.4 percent (U.S. Census Bureau) and from 2015 to 2016 population growth was zero (Long & Foster Realty analysis). Similar statistics come from the Board of Education. Student population is dropping: 2010 – 4,479, 2015 – 4,219. The housing market has been flat since 2008 and, according to Long & Foster Realty, the past 12 months for Powhatan are not looking good: single family home sales are down 15 percent, prices are down 24 percent, and length of time to sell is up 37 percent. Yet the board of supervisors is confident more single-family homes will raise more tax revenue. However, statistics show for every new home tax dollar collected, a municipality (county) spends $ 1.20 to $1.25 in facilities and services for that family. To make matters worse, Millenials (ages 25 to 40 years) who are the next generation home buyer, prefer renting or living with Mom and Dad, living in the city, short commutes and close-by shopping, entertainment and physical activity venues. Powhatan doesn’t seem to fit these preferences. We need to decide where Powhatan fits. County residents prefer maintaining the rural character of the county, requiring a lower tax burden, or we can cater to the next generation of home buyer requiring more amenities and services therefore higher spending and requisite taxes. We’ve tried catering to both and it’s not working. We can’t have it both ways. Don Silberbauer Powhatan County

Powhatan resident Garrett Manes, seen here driving his Arena Racing car, has agreed to a deal with Ray Black Jr. to race in a Pro Trucks race in Dec.

Manes lands Pro Trucks chance By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatan resident Garrett Manes got the unique opportunity to ride in the trucks around Richmond International Raceway on Sunday during driver introductions prior to the Toyota Owners 400 Sprint Cup race.

Pretty soon, Manes will be behind the wheel of a truck going around a racetrack. Manes will get the opportunity to race in a Pro Series truck owned by XFINITY Series driver Ray Black Jr. in Florida for a charity race in December. Black watched Manes behind the wheel of an Arena Racing car at the Richmond Coliseum on Friday night as

Black was in town for the ToyotaCare 250 race on Saturday. The show that Manes put on impressed Black on Friday, as Manes finished fourth in the Pro Series A race. On his Facebook page on Saturday morning, Black posted a video of him asking Manes to race in his truck. “I was going to ask you if you wanted to run a Pro Truck race in Florida in De-

cember,” Black asks Manes in the video. Manes immediately accepted the opportunity. “It feels amazing,” Manes said on Sunday at RIR. “I can’t wait, honestly. It’s a good thing I have some Legends racing to do this summer. Otherwise, I see MANES page 6B

Bobbitt leaving BSH By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

On the morning of April 18, an email went out to the entire Blessed Sacrament Huguenot community. The subject of that email was “announcement from Luke Bobbitt.” Inside the email was a surprising message for many. Bobbitt, the athletic director for the last three years for the Knights, would not be returning to the school next school year. Bobbitt will be taking the Athletic Director position at Holy Cross Regional Catholic School in Lynchburg. “I came across the (Holy Cross) opening and was interested to see what it was about,” Bobbitt said in an email. “I was more curious than anything.” That curiosity led to Bobbitt being imFILE PHOTO BY KENNY MOORE pressed with the leadership at Holy Cross. BSH boys basketball coach and AD Luke Bobbitt will leave his position at He wrote that he wanted to be full time in the end of the year for the same position at Holy Cross Regional Catholic. one location, as this year he was split be-

tween teaching in Richmond and his Athletic Director role at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. “That was tough on me personally and I felt it was tough to go above and beyond at both places,” Bobbitt wrote. “I also knew that Holy Cross had a rich history in athletics, but it seemed they were at a low point currently. I liked the idea of helping rebuilt those programs.” Bobbitt served many roles at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. He made a successful transition from girls basketball coach to the boys team for 2014-15 and brought a high-intensity style to the boys team. The Knights thrived in Bobbitt’s first season, upsetting Hampton Christian and making it to the state semifinals before falling to Christchurch. This season was up and down for the boys team, as inconsistency plagued the see BOBBITT page 7B

BSH soccer rolls past Southampton By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Matt Schiefer is one that likes to dish the ball out to his teammates around the field. He had over 30 assists last season for the Knights. But, he’s been known to put his foot behind the ball toward the goal as well and showcased that on April 20 with a hat trick in a 6-1 home win over Southampton Academy. The third goal was es-

pecially special, as he shot it from far out and hooked it into the top corner of the net, just over the goalie’s hands. “He ripped it. He’s definitely got the ability (to score goals),” Knights coach Grayson Lovern said. “I definitely encourage him to shoot more often than he does. He’s always looking to distribute, but anytime he can put a foot in it, go on goal, I try to get him to. He had a great shot.” Schiefer’s assist ability was on display as well, re-

cording two assists against Southampton Academy. Reed Hildebrand scored the first goal of the game and Schiefer assisted. Schiefer then got his first goal to make it 2-0 Knights. Brian Lee got the assist. As they continued their offensive against the Southampton defense, Schiefer got his second goal, assisted by Hildebrand. Hildebrand scored his second to make it 4-0 Knights, assisted by Schiefer. On a scramble in front

of the net in the second half off a well executed corner kick, Toni Villa was able to find the loose ball and knock it in to make it 5-0. Southampton scored shortly after that goal to make it a 5-1 game. But then Schiefer responded with his arcing shot to complete the game’s scoring. Lovern said that he felt the team played well against Southampton. “I was pleased,” he said. “There were a couple miscommunications I’d

like us to clean up. But, I thought we played pretty well. I was pleased with our effort.” Controlling tempo and leveraging their home field advantage was a big part of the game plan for the Knights and it worked to perfection. “We controlled the pace,” Lovern said. “We scored quick and took advantage of the situation. We always come out quick when we play (at home). Our kids like playing here and it’s a bigger field than our opponents are used

to.” The Knights are in their stretch run of games to complete their season. It started on Monday against Brunswick Academy and continues today against Kenston Forest. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will travel to Greenbrier Christian on Friday. “We’re hitting our stride,” Lovern said. “We’re playing some really good soccer and I’ve been pleased with our growth from the beginning of the season.”

Indians take down Hornets By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s girls soccer team had a singular mindset when they took the field against Orange on Thursday. Aggressiveness. The Indians had plenty of aggressive offense, and goals to go with them, in a 5-1 win over the Hornets. Kylie Donnelly led Powhatan with two goals on the night. “We needed that (win),” Powhatan coach Julie Posten said. “Orange surprised me. They were a little bit better than I thought they would be. (Powhatan) is playing a whole lot better as a team.” Starting very early on in the game, Powhatan was putting that aggressive mindset to work, and spent much of the first half in the Hornets’ zone. Donnelly had multiple

shots on net that were saved by the Orange keeper starting with just two minutes elapsed into the game. She had a golden chance seven minutes into the game on a clean-up attempt from teammate Gabby Criscione’s shot, but the shot went wide. Donnelly didn’t miss one minute later, on a pass from Kayla Hathaway, and beat the Hornets’ netminder for a 1-0 lead. The field remained tilted toward the Orange net as the Indians attack continued. Donnelly had another shot on net that went high in the 14th minute. “We’ve been working on the possession game,” Posten said. “It was great to see it finally come through tonight.” Magen Palmore in the 16th minute had a corner kick bounce off the side of the net. In the 26th minute, Pal-

more had a chance that went off the goalie’s hands and just over the crossbar. Palmore was able to contribute an assist two minutes later when she put a ball on net, which bounced off the keeper and right to Cynthia Ruiz who put it into the open net for a 2-0 lead. “Cynthia has been a huge leader for us,” Posten said. “She came through for us. It was great to see that.” Ruiz even had some time in net against the Hornets as an emergency keeper when goalie Kylie Maiolo, herself a backup, had to come out of the game after being down on the turf after a collision with a Hornets player. Posten said that Maiolo’s time on the turf scared her, but her backup goalie is doing a great job. “Kylie is incredible,” Posten said. “There was the game earlier where she

Powhatan’s Kylie Donnelly scored two goals, one in each half, to lead the Indians past Orange.

had over 20 saves. At Albemarle, we lost count at 30 saves. She’s incredible.” After halftime in the 52nd minute, Palmore’s persistence on the net finally paid off when she scored a goal to make it 30.

“She is very driven to succeed,” Posten said of Palmore. Orange was able to beat Maiolo later in the half to make it 3-1. Powhatan kept the attack on in the later stages of the half. Donnelly added her second of the game

and Criscione finished the scoring with one of her own to make it the final 51. The Indians faced a tough match at home on Monday against Western Albemarle before traveling to Monticello on Thursday.

Big inning boosts Knights By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

lessed SacramentHuguenot’s game against Tidewater Academy had a little bit of everything. It had runs galore, 23 total between the teams. It had errors, miscues, clutch hits and strategy. The game also had a seven run inning by the Knights that brought them back from the edge of the 10-run rule to having the lead. Knights coach James Poore wrote in an email that the game against the Warriors exemplified what is beautiful and strange about the game of baseball. “The team has accustomed to late inning heroics, which speaks to their fight,” he wrote. “In baseball, every out is precious

and you haven’t won until you get that last out. I think the team believes that they are never out of a game.” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot started the game out of fire at the plate. The Knights loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the first and a ground-rule double quickly scored two runs. But, Tidewater would quickly respond in the top of the second with three runs after some miscues on defense by the Knights. The Warriors would score two more runs before the Knights answered in the bottom of the third when a ball went through the infield, scoring one run to make it 6-3. Tidewater Academy opened the offensive flood gates in the top of the fourth inning, ending the inning with a 10-3 lead. The Knights got one

back to make it 10-4 in the bottom of the fourth inning before their big fifth inning. “We started to be more patient at the plate,” Poore wrote of the fifth inning. “Hitting is contagious and it seemed once we started to hit the ball, everyone joined in. We also have done a good job with our two-strike approach and putting the ball in play.” The win moved Blessed Sacrament to 5-1 in the VCC, in second place behind Southampton Academy. PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN Poore wrote that while Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Tanner Dobrucky rounds the bases and they can score runs, some would score on the play in the bottom of the first inning on April 19 plays on defense are still against Tidewater Academy. eluding his team. “We have struggled to make routine plays,” he wrote. “We need to work harder on defense. If we can make the routine plays, then I think we will continue to improve.”

Carl Edwards led 151 laps on Sunday at Richmond International Raceway and had to move his teammate for the win.

Edwards bumps Kyle Busch for RIR win By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

After 400 laps of racing at Richmond International Raceway in the Toyota Owners 400 on Sunday, it came down to two drivers of Toyotas to decide the finish. Carl Edwards drove hard down into Turn 4 and caught Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch, gave him a bump in the quarter panel, pushing Busch up out of the way and drove the final turn to take home the checkered flag for the second consecutive week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point in the season, we both have wins,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just sit there. If the roles were reversed, I would have expected him to bump me the same way. It was just hard racing.â&#x20AC;? The win was the second for Edwards at RIR. It was the first last lap pass for a victory at Richmond International Raceway in the .75-mile configuration. Busch had led since a late restart on Lap 362 and pulled away from the

field. Edwards was second on that restart and just bided his time and reeled in Busch throughout the run. He had put it into the corner hard going after his teammate a few laps prior to bumping Busch, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it stick. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until the final corner when he was able to get past his teammate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I turned really hard, and Kyleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tires went away,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I committed and I knew I was going to run the bottom. (Busch) really squared up the car and he knew I was going to bump him. I had to try something.â&#x20AC;? Edwards led a racehigh seven times for 151 laps, first taking the lead from Kevin Harvick on Lap 40. Jimmie Johnson had a strong car early on, and passed Edwards for the lead on Lap 63, and the two battled for three laps before Edwards was able to establish his lead early. Kyle Busch grabbed the lead in lapped traffic on Lap 158, before Edwards went to the point

once against on Lap 167. Busch and Edwards traded the lead back and forth in the mid-race, prior to Harvick taking the lead once again on Lap 230. Harvick led 41 laps before Brad Keselowski stayed out on a caution for debris and the two traded the lead on the restart. Kurt Buschâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car, which had been consistent in the race but not stout, came to life and took his turn having the dominant car. As Kurt Busch set sail, Brian Scott spun on Lap 359 and the leaders came to pit road. Kyle Busch won the race off pit road and Kurt had a bad pit stop, dropping him to fifth on what would be final restart. This daytime race, the first such scheduled since 1997, set a few track records as well. There were 23 lead changes overall, which was the most at RIR since 2007. There were 18 green flag passes for the lead, which was the most since 2010. Also, there were 2,083 green flag passes, the most since 2013.

Johnson finished third, Kasey Kahne was fourth and Harvick finished fifth. Chesterfield native Denny Hamlin finished sixth and Matt Kenseth was seventh as all four Joe Gibbs Racing cars finished in the top 10. Joey Logano finished eighth, Martin Truex Jr. was ninth and Kurt Busch rounded out the top-10. Tony Stewart finished 19th in his return to Sprint Cup competition after a back injury sidelined him for the first eight races this year. The bump-and-run Edwards executed against Busch was the talk of the post-race. Busch was asked about it twice in his post-race media availability and avoided the question both times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such a tough thing,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was such a great day overall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to have to race your teammate for the win. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to talk about it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re racing each other for wins, which is really good. Hopefully, things will work out fine.â&#x20AC;? JGR owner Joe Gibbs said that the bump-andrun tactic that Edwards used to get by Busch shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause any inhouse issues at Joe Gibbs

Racing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of my fear is always at the end when you got cars as good as we have, and drivers as good as we have, that you wind up with two of your teammates battling there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wish it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. I think Carl would say that, too. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work our way through.â&#x20AC;? Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crew chief Dave Rogers took a different viewpoint on the scuffle between teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we look at the big picture, today was a great day for NASCAR,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our fans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see teammate orders. They deserve good, hard racing. So I think today was a great day for the sport. It stinks that we had to move a teammate. But I think it would be very disappointing to our fans if Joe imposed a team order and told us, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, have a parade instead of a race.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be plenty of days that (Busch) is faster than us and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably get to our back bumper and move us. I just wanted to win. I wanted to be here and talk to you guys today.â&#x20AC;?

wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to bear it.â&#x20AC;? Garrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad Jason explained that Black will be flying Garrett down to Florida for testing prior to the race to get Garrett acclimated to racing the bigger vehicles. Not only will the vehicles be different, bigger than the ones Manes has experience with in Arena Racing and with the Legends cars that he is scheduled to run at Charlotte Motor Speedway over the summer, but it is a 200 lap event, much longer than Manes is used to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big step,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 200 lap race on a track where you are pretty much turning the whole time. There are straight-aways, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough horsepower where you are wheel-spinning the whole time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big workout for me.â&#x20AC;? Manes said he had hoped to meet up with Black prior to him running the Arena Racing race on Friday, but was still excited to meet up with the XFINITY Series driver post-race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty cool,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there (pre-race), but my dad said he was coming (post-race), that was pretty cool.â&#x20AC;? Jason said that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really exciting opportunity for Garrett to undertake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Garrett) uses his head and he races clean,â&#x20AC;? Jason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win them all, we got beat (Friday) night. We had a good night considering we blew a motor in the third practice. For that guy to come and see him one time, was huge. I think it shows potential. We definitely want to show people out there that, on the spectrum of autism, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge but find your strength. Once you find that strength, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better than other people in that particular field.â&#x20AC;? Jason also said that ZZAAM! Fresh Korean Grill has signed a threeyear deal to be Garrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsor. This deal came from good relations with Garrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former sponsor, Sweetfrog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Derek Cha is the one that owned Sweetfrog originally,â&#x20AC;? Jason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a lot of stuff for them and that gave (Garrett) his break in racing. From there, we met up with him about a month ago and we finalized everything. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re super excited.â&#x20AC;? With all the new announcements coming in Garrettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racing life, he feels that these are the stepping stones that are leading him to ascension in the racing ranks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a major step,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much like you go from arena cars to Legends to Pro Trucks to late models. You just go on up the chain. I feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get me accustomed to a bigger car and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get me ready for late models.â&#x20AC;? Manes also said he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until the day when he ends up like Chesterfield native Denny Hamlin, going from fan to racer at RIR.

Junior grabs ToyotaCare 250 win Saturday Richmond Suburban Newspapers

ENRICO – Dale Earnhardt Jr. slipped past a developing accident triggered by leader Justin Allgaier on lap 134 to regain the lead and win the 29th annual ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond International Raceway Saturday. It was Earnhardt’s fourth victory in six XFINITY Series races in Richmond, and his 24th overall XFINITY win. The race was cautionfree for the most part, until the first caution flag flew on lap 123 when Erik Jones ran into Mike Harmon on the backstretch. A messy pit stop during the caution cost Earnhardt the lead, putting Allgaier ahead until the final wreck that collected a number of cars and ended the day for Allgaier and Jones. Earnhardt said winning gives him a boost. “It does a little bit of something to your ego,” he said. “Ego and confidence is a bit of the same thing when you’re out there trying to get things done on the racetrack. Every time you kind of come close or you go a weekend without getting a win, it’s a bruise to your ego a little bit, maybe a little piece of your confidence chipped away. “Any time you can get back into victory lane, even if it’s in a truck or an XFINITY (race), it makes you feel like, ‘I know what I’m doing. Keep calm, things are working

team. While they showed flashes of greatness and the ability to play with anyone, especially on their home court, the team fell in the opening round of the VCC tournament. Bobbitt was a familiar sight around many different Knights’ athletic events, serving in his Athletic Director role. That role sometimes took the form of ticket taker, parking attendant, spotter in the press box for football, chasing down errant basketballs during warm-ups for the girls basketball team, and countless others. “During my three years as AD, we had drastically improved all of our athletic fields and facilities,” he wrote. “(We had) fair and balanced spending, had a resurgence in Booster Club participation, received numerous awards including coaches of the year and a state championship, had numerous student athletes reach their dreams of playing college, and plenty of recognition to all of our sports. “I alone did not make this all possible, so I thank all of the parents, guardians, alumni, coaches and supporters that have helped me along the way in their donations of time and money.” When Bobbitt took the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Athletic Director position, he was, and still is, one of the youngest in the position around the Richmond area. He wrote that he has learned quite a lot in the

well, we just need to stay the course. We’re going to make it happen.’ ” Earnhardt led 128 of the 149 total laps. After taking over the lead from Jones, who had won the pole in his preliminary heat, he led more than 100 consecutive laps before losing the lead to Allgaier on lap 123. Allgaier was able to take the lead from Earnhardt because of a messy pit attempt by Earnhardt during the caution triggered Jones bumped Harmon coming out of turn 2 and sent Harmon into the inner wall. When coming in to pit, Earnhardt nearly hit Jones, who was coming out of an adjacent stall. Earnhardt then had a slow exit, and Allgaier – who had been in second – took the lead. On the restart, Earnhardt, who had been on the second row behind Brennan Poole, dropped to the inside to slip around Poole and Allgaier in turn 1. As Earnhardt made his move, Allgaier, who had been on the outside, slipped in and he and Poole made contact. The chain reaction collected a number of cars, but Earnhardt slipped away unscathed. Allgaier was one of four drivers involved in the Dash 4 Cash, a race within the race featuring the top two XFINITY Series regulars from each preliminary heat. Allgaier finished second to Ty Dillon in the second heat, while Jones and Poole were the two qualifiers from the first past three years. He wrote that when he first took the job, it was tough sledding in the early going. “It was a little tough at first because I think a lot of people viewed my age as I was inexperienced or I didn’t know what I was doing,” he wrote. “I felt I had to prove myself over and over in some instances to gain that respect. Of course, along the way I have made mistakes and those have been the best lessons. I have learned from each and every one. I also know that I still have a lot to learn and I thoroughly love doing this job.” In the email that announced his departure, Bobbitt said that he will continue to serve in the Athletic Director role for the Knights through the end of this school year. He also said in that email that he will work with new football coach Chuck Robinson, who has athletic administration experience from his time at St. Christopher’s, to get the Knights in the best position possible for the 2016-17 school year from an athletic standpoint. Bobbitt said that the students of Blessed Sacrament will be what he misses most when he leaves for Holy Cross. “I developed a lot of positive relationships with (the students) over the past four year as a teacher, coach and AD,” he wrote. “I think I have been someone they can talk to as a mentor and as someone they can trust. I felt giving the students a voice was very important in doing my job. “I was there for them

heat. Dillon, who finished second to Earnhardt, won the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash prize by beating the other three. Poole finished 10th and was the highest finishing rookie, while Jones and Allgaier ended up finishing 34th and 35th, respectively. There will be two more Dash 4 Cash races this season. Jones won the first one, which was last weekend in Bristol, as well as the race last week. whenever they needed me, whether that was to get new equipment or to cheer them on.” Bobbitt said that some new blood at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will be a good thing in his departure. “I have enjoyed my time at BSH,” he wrote,”but at the same time, Holy Cross made me a very gracious offer.” His experience at Blessed Sacrament has prepared him for Holy Cross, he wrote. “There will be new challenges there that I have not dealt with here at BSH,” he wrote. “I am excited to have full control of their athletic program and with that control, the school and community are excited for change and the ideas that I am bringing with me.” Billy Fellin can be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.

If Jones or Dillon win a second one, they’ll qualify for the new XFINITY Series Chase format. Dillon seemed a little surprised at his success. “You’re sure we’re at Richmond, right?” he said. “This place has been tough on me and our team as a whole. To run the way we did all day was impressive for us.” Although Dillon beat his three Dash 4 Cash opponents, his first priority was winning the whole race. “It’s all about the W,”

he said. “I wasn’t really worried about anything but trying to win.” Dillon said he’ll put the Dash 4 Cash prize money towards a house. Earnhardt, who primarily races in the Sprint Cup Series, chose to drive in the ToyotaCare 250 because of his confidence and success at RIR. “I don’t run the XFINITY Series but a couple times a year, so the opportunities to win are few and far between,” Earnhardt noted. “I knew we had great cars at Richmond and this is why I

picked to run here. This is one of the races that I asked if I could run, and I was lucky enough to be able to drive our stuff here.” His win was the first for JR Motorsports, the team that he co-owns with his sister, Kelley Earnhardt Miller. Earnhardt Jr. finished 13th in Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400 after starting in the 16th position. Patrick Gordon is the newseditor for Henrico TD and The Chesterfield TC.
