Moslow receives Kathy Budner award

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The fact that Connie Moslow knew ahead of time she was going to be the recipient of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce’s Kathy Budner Award of Excellence didn’t take away in any way from her pride at the announcement.

Moslow admitted she was supposed to have left for Florida a few days before the chamber’s January social, where the award is typically announced, and someone had to

Moslow

clue her in as to why staying a few extra days was so important.

But as past recipient Dan Jones told the crowd present on Wednesday, Jan. 13 of the long list of contributions to the community that led to Moslow being chosen for an award named in recognition of the chamber’s first executive director, she said she was honored and pleased.

“If you think of the chamber, you think of the community. It is being part of the community,” Moslow said. “Powhatan is a great place, and I love being part of it. Being honored by my peers is very special.”

tax assistance service will begin preparing and electronically filing the federal and Virginia tax returns of low- and moderate-income taxpayers in Powhatan County in two weeks, and volunteers will be ready to go, Maureen Emerson, local coordinator, said.

POWHATAN – James Kunka was named chairman of the Powhatan County School Board for the secondstraight year at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 12.

Kunka, who represents District 2, was once again approved unanimously by his fellow board members in a vote taken at the board’s first 2016 Kunka meeting.

Rick Cole, District 1, who was chairman for two years before Kunka, was unanimously voted vice chairman for the coming year, a post held in 2015 by former memCole ber Sammy Frame.

The board reorganizes every January for the upcoming year.

Kunka said he was happy to serve as chair again and that he was pleased and honored that his fellow board members have the confidence that he can do a good job for them. He promised to do the best he can, as he did in 2015, and in the two years before that, when he was vice chairman under Cole.

“I think we have a lot of good goals and challenges and we have a lot of good support now, which we didn’t always have in the past. We’ve got support from the county with the new junior high school and the transportation facility. We were able to come together on building something that is best for the county not just for the needs of the school,” Kunka said. “I think it is going to be a very promising four years from what I can tell.”

Being chairman in 2015 took some adjustment as he got used to the protocol, Kunka said. Once he got used to it, it wasn’t too bad.

It is an important role, Kunka said, but first and foremost his responsibility is to represent the needs of District 2.

“The meetings are half of it. The other half is the constituency. When they have issues in the school system, you get calls from people in your dis-

enth local resident to receive the award, which was created after Budner retired as the executive director in 2008. She had served in the post since 1992, when she started running it out of her home for several years while it grew.

Previous award recipients were Larry Lyons, 2010; Dan Jones, 2011; Ruth Boatwright, 2012; Kathy Grasty, 2013, Susan Ash, 2014; and India Cox, 2015.

The past winners make up the committee that chooses the winner, a chamber member whose service and performance positively reflects excellence as demonstrated through their work ethic and contributions to the Powhatan community, Ash said.

“All the time she has given to this community. She formed the Free Clinic. She has given countless hours,” Ash said.

As the recipient, one of Moslow’s rewards was $1,000 from the chamber that she could donate to a nonprofit of her choice. She chose the Free Clinic, saying every little bit helps to reach the clinic’s $250,000 annual budget.

When introducing her, Jones let the people at the chamber event know just how involved Moslow has been since she and her husband moved to Powhatan County from Buffalo, New York 28 years ago.

“She started volunteering when she was 13 years old and has always volunteered since,” he said.

Moslow was Powhatan’s Christmas Mother in 2004; served on the Goochland-Powhatan Community Senior board for nine years; served on the Powhatan Social Services board for 10 years; served on the Deep Meadow Prison Community Advisory Board for 15 years; was a founding member of the Richmond Metropolitan Area Women and Children HIV Task Force, and served on the J. Sargeant Reynolds Foundation Board, where she helped raise $15 million during its capital campaign. One of crowning achievements was establishing the Free Clinic of Powhatan in 2007.

“My only regret was that Connie Moslow had not received this award before,” Jones said. “Not diminish-

ing what any of the other recipients have done, but Connie has done incredible work in the community.”

Jones said he gets emotional when he hears Moslow speak passionately about the Free Clinic, the good it does and the people it helps. He offered up a quote from Moslow about why she works so hard at the Free Clinic.

“I look at the lives of so many of the patients at the clinic and I marvel at how they get up each morning, facing their tremendous struggles with little or no money, pain and chronic illness, often physical and mental abuse, many of which are single mothers,” Jones quoted Moslow as saying. “These are the folks that I most admire in that they have the stamina, will, faith or whatever to get by each day with so little.”

Since the clinic was first opened, it has enrolled more than 1,000 patients, Moslow said. Annually, the clinic

sees about 275, most on a recurring basis, to help with free medical, dental and mental health issues they could not otherwise afford to receive. The clinic has three part-time and one full-time employee. Everybody else who helps there, including Moslow, are volunteers.

“Most of our patients have been ill for a long time and haven’t been able to go see a doctor,” Moslow said.

“They finally hear of the Free Clinic and come to us, and the clinic does a good job with them.”

The Free Clinic of Powhatan has been a good thing for Powhatan because it has saved lives, Moslow said.

“You look around Powhatan and it looks so idyllic, but down a lot of these roads people are really hurting and they need help,” she said.

their tax returns done instead of going out to a tax preparer who will charge by the page. Some of the returns we do are worth $400 on the market,” she said.

The Tax-Aide program, sponsored by the AARP Foundation and the IRS, began in 1968 in response to the need of senior citizens for free, quality assistance in filing their income tax returns.

Volunteers at the Powhat-

an library prepared about 500 tax returns for the 2014 tax year.

Although AARP is one of the sponsors, Tax-Aide is limited to seniors, Emerson said. People of a wide range of ages who meet the income qualifications and need the services the volunteers are qualified to do may take advantage of it.

However, when people call to make an appointment, they will be asked

questions to make sure volunteers are trained to handle any issues that would come up on their return, she said. For instance, the volunteers cannot do tax returns for rental property/depreciation, Schedule F-farm, casualty loss, or clergy.

Every return the volunteers complete is then quality reviewed before it is electronically filed, Emerson said.

“The quality reviewer

comes along looking for mistakes. It is a pretty good system because Powhatan had 100 percent correct returns in tax year 2014,” she said. “We really take it seriously when we do these returns.”

Emerson said this will be her 16th year been volunteering with Tax-Aide and she still loves it because of the people she gets to meet.

“When I started, I was with Jim Graham and we

were in the basement of the old library. We were doing paper returns and had practically no resources. It just has changed. You wouldn’t even recognize it anymore,” she said.

tion was held in District 2 for the vacated board seat.

He was re-elected in the November 2011 and 2015 general elections.

Kunka said he always tries to follow up with whoever those constituents need to contact and help them up the ladder if necessary.

“That is a rewarding part of the job that really no one sees. All of the

board members have that role for their district. That is the behind-the-scenes part of being a school board member,” he said.

Cole, who is starting his fifth year on the board, said he is glad Kunka was re-elected as chairman because he will do a great job. Cole added he was happy to serve as a support person as the vice chairman.

Looking ahead to the coming year and the fouryear term ahead, one of

the major goals is to hopefully start on the renovation and replacement of Powhatan Junior High School to create a new middle school, he said.

The school board will work with the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors to try to find the best way forward on that project, he said.

“I think it is critical for our students and for our citizens to replace the building there and the sooner we do that the bet-

ter off we are going to be,” Cole said. “I am real concerned that any delay is going to end up costing us more money in the long run. I want to move forward cautiously but I want to move forward with all due diligence to make sure we can get that started and get it completed.”

With a new board member on both governing bodies, Cole said he hopes the school board and board of supervisors can forge a pathway of looking at what is best for the community and agreeing on some common

goals as they move forward.

“Our goal is to make Powhatan a better community not only from the education point of view but for citizens overall. I am hoping that we will see a new spirit of cooperation. I know there are going to be differences, but I hope we can disagree respectfully and move on when we do have disagreements,” Cole said.

Prayer issue raised POWHATAN – A request by a member of the Powhatan County School Board member at the group’s December meeting sparked a reaction from several members of the public in January.

At the board’s meeting on Thursday, Dec. 3, Rick Cole, who represents District 1, had requested the board review its procedures regarding prayer at its meetings to make sure it is in good standing with recent court procedures. Cole reiterated the request at the board’s workshop on Tuesday, Jan. 12.

He said the issue was still something he would like to see reviewed and added as part of that the policies of other school divisions could be examined. He said he had attended a session on the subject at a recent Virginia School Board Association conference.

Ayers Continued from page 1A

Ayers made the decision to step down and not be re-appointed after five full terms as a commissioner. He was first appointed to represent District 3 on the commission in 1995 by then board of supervisors chair Bob Cosby. In 2011, he was asked by supervisor Carson Tucker to represent District 5 on the commission. Ayers lives in District 3.

Accolades from others Chair Karin Carmack, who represents District 1, started the meeting by recognizing Ayers’ last meeting and thanking him for his service. She said he has seen many changes in the county and worked with a variety of planning commissioners in the last two years, “but one thing has remained the same and that is his dedication to the job.�

Carmack said Ayers is one of the most fastidious and dedicated people she has worked with and that she will miss his help with rewriting ordinances, organizing meetings, and helping her know what she is supposed to be doing. “He served as the chairman for many years.

Powhatan will truly lose a great planning commissioner,� she said.

Vice chair David Van Gelder, District 3, said he echoed Carmack’s sentiments and wanted people to understand that serving five terms on the planning commission “is a really big deal.� “I’ve learned a lot from you, and your keen eye will be sorely missed. As a citizen of Powhatan, I really want to thank you,� he said.

Bill Cox, District 4, pointed out that the roughly 240 scheduled meetings that Ayers would have attended over a 20year period doesn’t account for workshops and special meetings. “We are talking about a gentleman that conservatively speaking has given 1,000 hours of his time to this community to try and make it better,� Cox said. “Richard, thank you so much.�

Owen Walker, District 2, said he was the only commissioner who was serving when Ayers was appointed and is still on the commission. He joked that Ayers will be used as a consultant.

Joe Walters, District 2, said if the issue of school prayer was going to be discussed he thought an attorney should be present to offer advice. “It is a very sensitive issue and very complicated,� he said.

Kim Hymel, District 5, said she agreed with Walters about having an attorney present for that meeting to “help us with following the law and our transparency issues.�

At the meeting that followed the workshop, three local residents spoke in favor of continuing to have a prayer open the meetings.

John Tuttle of Powhatan said that the Supreme Court has decided it is OK to have public prayer in government meetings. He read from a 2014 news article that discussed the issue.

When Tuttle tired, Ron Stewart of Powhatan finished reading the article for

In addition to comments from the commissioners, three others recognized Ayers for his years of service: supervisors Bill Melton and Carson Tucker and former supervisor Bob Cosby.

Melton, who is chair of the board of supervisors and represents District 4, said he served 12 years on the planning commission with Ayers, which taught him a great deal. Through the years, they worked together on issues such as stormwater management, wetland setbacks, low impact developments, private roads, cell towers, and ordinances.

In all of those meetings, Ayers always came prepared, Melton said. In the end, Ayers made Powhatan a better community, he said. “Your professionalism was something I always admired and you were a great mentor to me,�

Melton said. “Thank you for what you’ve done for the community and I hope you get to enjoy a lot of fishing.�

Tucker said that when he thinks about what Ayers has done for Powhatan County, the word that comes to mind is trust. “I trust your competence. I trust your encyclopedic mastery of the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the subdivision ordinance,� Tucker said. “I have trusted your preparation. I have trusted your perspective.

I’ve trusted your listening, your belief, your principles, your responsiveness, your calmness even under pressure.�

Most of all, he said he trusted that Ayers would always do what is right. “That’s why whenever I didn’t know what to do I would simply ask Richard, ‘What’s the right thing to do?’� Tucker said. “There’s no better thing for a man to be known for.�

Cosby said that Ayers fell in love with Powhatan when he came here 36 years ago and was a great citizen even before Cosby appointed him as a planning commissioner. Cosby said he was impressed

by Ayers’ deep interest in the county. “As a citizen now, I am grateful for your service.

You are to be commended and I wish you well in your endeavors from now on,� Cosby said.

see PRAYER page 4A have this job for 20 years.

He offered his thanks to county staff, past and present, who made it easier for him to do his job; to Cosby and Tucker for appointing him over a combined five terms, and to the planning commissioners, past and present, “who it’s been my pleasure to work with all those years.�

In a separate interview, Ayers recalled his time before becoming a planning commissioner. He said he had already been going to board of supervisors meetings for awhile because he was curious about county government and had served on a comprehensive plan writing committee around 1990.

When a vacancy occurred on the commission, he said asked Cosby if he would appoint him, and because Cosby was familiar with Ayers from the county, he did. “I enjoyed the challenge of trying to make sure that the product we sent to the board of supervisors was a good one,�

Ayers said. “The planning commissioners are supposed to review these applications for rezoning and drafts of new ordinances before they get to the board. That I always thought was a worthwhile endeavor.�

During two decades, Powhatan County has changed and the cases that have come before the planning commission have become more complex, Ayers said. But the commission simplified its role by giving more guidance to county staff on site plan review guidelines they could use as reasoning to accept or deny an applicant’s request.

The commission’s last four years spent working on the zoning ordinance and the subdivision ordinance also resulted in significant changes that hopefully will help Powhatan develop in the future, he said.

Ayers said he made his decision to step down several months ago, so he wasn’t overly emotional when it actually arrived.

Still, he said he was humbled by the response the audience gave him. “When Karin gave me the plaque, there was a standing ovation. Most of those people don’t even know me that were there for a public meeting. It was kind of surprise,� he said.

which eventually led to that being allowed during the 2015 winter break.

Smith said the directive to not allow prayer comes directly from VSBA, who are bullying the local school boards. He added that he is standing up for them.

“I don’t beat around the bush, Jesus Christ doesn’t beat around the bush and the people of Powhatan don’t beat around the bush,” he said. “Tell these foxes at the Virginia State School Board, take their Satanic thoughts and demands elsewhere and stop trying to spread fear and buying into this political agenda that is going on around our country.”

Smith said that people are not forced to pray when the school board does so; they have the option to sit down and not

“Personally I would like to speak to the fact the nation is founded on Christian principles. I would ask your consideration to maintain the ability to offer prayer before these meetings to represent those who that do believe this way,” he said.

Christopher Smith of Powhatan thanked the board for asking for discussion on the issue instead of jumping immediately to a ban. In 2014 and 2015, Smith had raised the issue of why the phrase “Merry Christmas” wasn’t allowed on Powhatan’s school marquees,

participate.

“It is the freedom to do so, whether you agree with it or not,” he said, going on to add that “freedom is worth fighting for, whether it is with your blood or your time.”

Smith closed his comments with a prayer.

All three men spoke again during the second comment period and thanked the school board for serving. At that time, Tuttle said another prayer.

Other business handled at the meeting included; Approving the school board’s Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for fiscal years 2017-2021.

The CIP is a five-year projection of capital funding needs that the school board approved unanimously so that it may be shared with the Powhatan County School Board.

The CIP the board approved included the replacement and renovation of Powhatan Junior High School (almost $33.9 million); a joint vehicle maintenance facility (almost $3.7 million); maintenance at Pocahontas Elementary School (almost $3.4 million); maintenance at Powhatan Elementary School (almost $6.3 million), and other projects where cost estimates are projected to exceed $25,000.

The board approved the CIP unanimously.

The CIP is updated every year and after approval by the school board it is forwarded to both the Powhatan Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. The update for this year only includes recurring items as no new projects were added.

Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, told the board that staff is still working through the specifics of the new middle school project. One of the challenges that has been mentioned a few times is water to meet new building codes in terms of fire suppression.

School staff received information shortly before the meeting about possible options and is working with the county government and civil engineers to determine the amount of water needed for the new school and a proposed joint transportation facility that will be shared by the county and school district.

“There is a strong possibility that there will be additional costs for this project,” Jones said. “What we don’t know at this point is how much it is going to cost or how much of these costs the original quote by the architects for the project was included or can be absorbed within that proj-

ect cost.”

He added that it has been clear from the beginning of the project that water could be an issue for the site, so staff is hoping most of the costs will be accounted for in that original estimate.

Jones said he hoped to have that information before a joint meeting of the school board and the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors, which was to be held today, Jan. 20.

Jones said school board members were being asked to approve the CIP and if there is a significant change to it they have the option of amending it.

The board discussed the purposes of the water and the possibilities of large reserve tanks and pressure pumps to boost water flow, especially to the second floor.

Approving the 20162017 Course Guide.

Each year the Course Planning Guide for grades six to 12 is updated with additional courses and course changes to provide the most relevant course offerings possible for Powhatan students, Sandy Lynch, assistant superintendent for instruction, said.

“We also try to make sure we are aware of what our students want and what the market has out there for us to choose from,” she said.

Some of the changes for the course guide include adding Advanced Placement (AP) options for computer science, music theory and microeconomics; art history dual enrollment; a women’s show choir; a class that accounts for the Child Watch program, and sports entertainment recreation marketing.

She pointed out that just because a class is in the course guide does not automatically mean it will happen. The classes have to have a minimum number of students to be scheduled.

The board, Lynch and Dr. Tracie Omohundro, principal of Powhatan High School, had a discussion on why the courses were chosen and the need to have both courses that lead toward college and starting a career or trade directly after graduating.

Jones also mentioned that the course guide was designed keeping in mind the possibility that the new middle school project would start, meaning grades six to eight would be housed at Pocahontas Middle School during the construction phase. They would be on the same schedule, which would result in an extra elective period for the sixth-graders.

The board approved the course guide unanimous-

ly.

Approving the 2016 school board meeting dates.

The board unanimously approved the schedule as presented on its agenda.

However, they did discuss the fact that currently the majority of the meetings are scheduled to be held at the Village Building because of a new capability that means workshops and meetings can be streamed live on the county’s website.

In the past, several of the meetings each year were held at the schools so the board has an opportunity to meet in the various facilities. The board discussed the benefit of having those meetings in the schools to connect with them versus giving people the capability to see the meetings live instead of listening to a recording at a later date.

The possibility was raised that for those meetings held at the schools, they will be video recorded so people can still watch them even if they can’t do so live.

Recognizing the recipients of grants from the Powhatan Education Foundation.

The Powhatan Education Foundation (PEF) awarded about $7,000 for Innovative Classroom Grants submitted by Powhatan County instructional staff members.

There are teachers who are doing every day what they are not getting paid for, Roger D. Richardson, PEF president, said.

“What we are trying to do with these grants is to give them the financial support they need to do that,” he said. “What they are doing is what teachers always do, which is go beyond the ordinary day and do the things that are necessary even if the funding is not there.”

The foundation received 22 grant submissions this year for their Innovative Classroom Grants Program and funded eight applications: “Taking it to the Next Level,” submitted by Molly Moss and Elizabeth Kirk, Flat Rock Elementary School, $1,000; “Powhatan County Video Histories,” submitted by Meredith Perry and Sandy Lynch, PCPS Instructional Department, $1,000; “Growing with STEM,” submitted by Tia Stout, Flat Rock Elementary, $986.77; “Handicapped Accessible Planting Beds for Students with Special Needs,” submitted by Martha Nichols and Michael Payne, Powhatan High School, $615.94; “STEM PD – Knowledge is Power,” submitted by see PRAYER page 10

Powhatan Junior High School World Languages and Spanish I students celebrated the traditional Hispanic Three Kings Day at El Cerro Azul.

Local restaurant, students celebrate Three Kings Day Contributed Report A Powhatan Restaurant helped a group of Powhatan Junior High School students celebrate Spanish culture and Three Kings Day this month.

PJHS World Languages and Spanish I students celebrated the traditional Hispanic “Día de los Reyes Magos,” or Three Kings Day, at El Cerro Azul in Powhatan on Wednesday, Jan. 6.

Every part of the world has holidays that celebrate special moments in history. Hispanic cultures celebrate holidays similar to ones recognized in the United States, however, there are different customs.

In Spain and Latin America, Día de los Reyes Magos (Three Kings Day), rather than Christmas, is an occasion for gift giving. Children all over Spain and Mexico as well as many Hispanic families in the United States, anxiously look forward to waking up on Jan. 6 to find toys and gifts.

A special treat served on this day is the Rosca de Reyes, a crown-shaped sweet bread decorated with jewel-like candied fruits. Usually a family feast ends up the celebration of this enjoyable festival day.

Jose Luis Reyes, World Languages teacher at PJHS, and Victor Fonseca,

manager of El Cerro Azul, Powhatan were excited about the idea of creating a common project of collaboration between the school and restaurant that would allow Powhatan students to participate in an authentic cultural activity and apply Spanish language skills and cultural knowledge in opportunities beyond the classroom.

The World Language teacher said that field trips open minds by giving the students educational experiences away from their regular school environment. Students visiting different educational facilities learn in a more hands-on and interactive manner than they do in school.

Through this field trip, PJHS students enhanced their learning by experiencing a bit of the Hispanic culture.

Inside El Cerro Azul, the class experienced a rewarding cultural opportunity by introducing them to the real cuisine of Mexico and its regions in a warm and charming atmosphere.

Dr. King’s life, legacy still hold power

By Laura McFarland News Editor

E

very generation has those moments that help define who they are as a generation.

They are part of the collective memory of people who are alive at the time. They are generally the moments that someone describes starting with, “I remember where I was when …”

Unfortunately, it is all too often bad news – the beginning and ending of wars, terrorist attacks, assassinations, mass shootings and stock market crashes. Fortunately, there also are great moments of defining speeches, scientific breakthroughs, and examples of heroism.

For the people who are alive and have the world around them rocked by these kinds of moments, the experience will always go deeper than someone could ever grasp from reading about the events in history books.

As I write this, I am looking ahead to Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, Jan. 18. As you read this, it has already been observed.

For as long as I can remember, Dr. King has been a man I deeply admired both for his life and legacy. History classes look at his defining moments in

Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, and Washington, D.C., during the Civil Rights Movement. His words are still remembered and quoted for their vision, power and humanity.

Dr. King was shot at 6:01 p.m. on April 4, 1968, as he stood on the second-floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

He died about an hour later at age 39.

It was a horrible moment in time that isn’t as often the focus of discussions centered on Dr. King, probably because what he accomplished in his life and his legacy were so profound that people refused to let that darkness overshadow his light.

Since I am in my early 30s, those first few hours when people across the nation were learning what had happened are obviously something I didn’t experience firsthand.

As I am sitting here looking forward to the MLK Jr. Youth Day Community Breakfast being held at Powhatan United Methodist Church in a few days, the

reason Dr. King’s death came to mind was because of a movie I recently watched called “Talk to Me.” The movie is based on the life of Petey Greene, a black radio talk show host whose career took off in the late 1960s. He was an ex-convict turned social activist who tackled hard subjects on his programs: race, poverty, power and politics.

I started watching the film one night earlier this month when I was flipping through the television channels and saw several actors in it whose work I have admired.

Before watching this movie, I had not heard of Mr. Metro Creative Greene, who died in 1984.

While it was a not documentary about him and can’t be taken as all historically accurate information, one pivotal moment depicted in the film is based on something that actually happened.

After being informed of King’s assassination, a shocked and grief-stricken Greene goes on-air to announce the

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Lives, words, elections matter, but God and telling the truth the most Dear Editor, As I started writing this letter an announcement came across the TV of the attack in Paris, France which was claimed by ISIS, I flashed back to all the news of today, prominent news personalities and political leaders who were either warning the public of the threat of imminent war or demonizing those who would warn us of this truth.

When the truth is traded for lies for any reason, there will be consequences.

Lies, whether by a person, a child, a company or for special interest in politics, will always bring consequences and not good ones!

When the truth is ignored in politics everyone will eventually suffer. Those who lie and put that lie into action to fool someone will eventually be shamed and those lied to will not be able to do the right thing either since they have been deceived. Yesterday, both democrats and conservatives were villainized for not being compassionate on immigration, when in reality, they want immigration done correctly for our protection.

The president said yesterday that ISIS was under control. He also said Isis was a JV Team. Those statements underestimate the enemy, and now he says the reason for terrorism is climate change. Words matter!

Not identifying the enemy has cost lives in this war with ISIS. They are an enemy of barbaric proportions and need to be dealt with appropriately.

We need to protect the laws that protect us. When we give up our rights, we give up our freedom, especially of First and Second Amendments!

The constitutional laws of America are based on the laws of God and need to be protected and honored by our leaders who have taken an oath to do so when they are sworn into office.

In our state and local politics there are leaders in charge who evidently have limited morals. They lie to advance their selfish agendas at the cost of their constituents. Some are new leaders and some are old leaders.

These leaders will be challenged in the days to

come, but Powhatan will suffer every time we are not told the truth by our leaders or truth is ignored to further an agenda. Should our God-given laws be ignored to get what we want? Please say no and obey God to advance our society.

In an article written by Lt. General Boykin, he wrote that moral courage was as important as battlefield courage in America and to stand for God’s given principles, especially our leaders and when they don’t we should hold them accountable. Should the means justify the end as a normal way to get elected into office? There is always a cost. Unprincipled actions to gain leadership are wrong. Don’t attach yourself to unprincipled leaders, especially if you are another leader, because voters who are principled will know and hold unprincipled actions accountable.

Sometimes one will even throw colleagues under the bus and will keep throwing more in the future. It doesn’t matter who you are to these types of people.

They will be your friend only to further their unprincipled agenda. As I end this letter several weeks later, America has now had a serious terrorist attack with lives lost. The president says it is a lack of gun control that is the problem, but many believe that that his agenda should be to protect the homeland and should be to increase the resources to fight ISIS. If we had stopped ISIS in Europe and secured our borders, they wouldn’t be here now.

The New York Daily news printed on the front page God can’t fix this. Please pickup your Bibles and read what God has to say about it in 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Lives matter, words matter and elections matters and God matters most.

news and, when riots start breaking out in the city, to try to calm the violence.

As these moments played out onscreen that night, I am not ashamed to say I sat on my living room floor and cried my eyes out for awhile as the characters dealt with this horrible new reality. Illogical as it may sound almost 50 years after the fact, it felt like I had just been told for the first time that Dr. King had been killed, and it was raw and gut-wrenching.

Then I began to think of the people who experienced that moment in 1968.

It was not only the loss of a man, a leader, and a pastor but of someone who had come to represent the fight and hope for a better future. It must have felt like the end of a dream for so many.

Thankfully it wasn’t. An assassin’s bullet stole his life, but it could not take away his impact on the world, which is still being felt today.

And while that moment in history will still never be part of the defining moments of my generation, I feel like I came away with a little more insight and another reminder of why Martin Luther King Jr. Day continues to be a day that needs to be remembered and recognized.

Chasing the big one

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Turns out the place to be on a Saturday night is waiting in line at the local convenience store to purchase a Powerball ticket. That’s especially true when the jackpot is close to a billion bucks.

On a strictly unrelated mission, that’s where I ended up as the furor mounted and minutes ticked away until the big drawing destined to change one or more individuals’ lives.

I quickly realized I had entered a reality-based field of dreams, and it was easy to politely overhear the conversations of the dozens who waited patiently to purchase their chance at financial immortality.

“They won’t be seeing me at work on Monday,” one man shouted.

“If I win, my wife won’t be seeing me tonight,” another retorted.

There was a sense of camaraderie in the diverse crowd that only a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow can produce, and the mood was lightspirited.

But the dreams were serious. Talks of new homes, new cars, paid mortgages and gifts for relatives filled the air as the line moved slowly toward the overworked cashier.

Some had organized folders with numbers clearly selected far in advance. The efficiency indicated these players were not first-timers, and they seemed annoyed at the unusual and inexperienced activity. Others filled out forms to select their lucky numbers, but most allowed the machine to select the numbers for them.

“I never pick the numbers and I never watch the drawing,” the man behind me explained to an interested lady.

His system was well thought out, and eliminated the responsibility of tracking down the winning numbers or even checking his computer-generated list of numbers.

“You go home and wait for the newscast that tells you the winning ticket was purchased at this store,” he continued. “Then, you know you are close, but you still don’t check the ticket. That’s bad luck.”

In summary, this player wanted his good luck to come as a surprise. In his mind, after several days of no winners coming forward from this specific location, he would check his ticket, collect his money and begin his dream, a vision he did not share with us.

In the interest of full disclosure, I don’t usually play the lottery, but the thought of a $900 million payday is hard to resist, even if the odds are astronomically remote.

By the time I reached the counter, I was a player and ordered two machine-generated tickets, which I stuck in my glove compartment unread.

I left the store with a renewed belief in dreams and how they somehow touch all of us. A nation that dreams is a place where hope remains, and, despite what often seems otherwise, wishes are more than meaningless and unrealistic visions.

The verdict is in and I didn’t win the lottery, but no one else did either.

The next drawing is already up to $1.3 billion, so, chances are, I might be back in that line sooner than I thought, because in the words of dozens of my newly formed and hopeful new friends, “If you don’t play, you can’t win.”

Stay tuned.

left a lot to be desired as a citizen of Powhatan County. One of the main issues of discussion was the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) put forth by the board for the county’s five constitutional officers. During the public comment period, all five constitutional officers made clear their disapproval of any attempt by the board to pass the MOUs. As a concerned citizen of Powhatan County, I agree with our county’s five elected constitutional officers in their stance against the MOUs. Signing the MOUs would do nothing but control and constrain what these elected officials can achieve. For example, our sheriff, Brad Nunnally, would be extremely hampered in his ability to give raises the way he sees fit to his own department. The county administrator should not be able to decide any dynamic of the constitutional officer’s allocated funds, including who gets a well-deserved raise. Constitutional officers must be separate entities from the board of supervisors and the county administrator for the sake of the separation of powers in Powhatan County.

The MOUs are nothing but a backdoor

attempt to undo the separation of powers in our county government.

The board of supervisors and the county administrator need to trust these elected officers with the duties of running their own offices. Having MOUs would do nothing but add unneeded tension between the officers and the board, which would hamper the flow of our local government. Another disheartening fact about the MOUs is that if they are passed by the board of supervisors, the constitutional officers will be intimidated into signing the MOUs for fear of losing valuable county funds for their offices from the board and the county administrator.

The voters made it clear on November 3 that they trust all five elected constitutional officers with their responsibilities to manage their own offices and funds. The board of supervisors should agree with the voters and trust the actions and leadership of these elected officers. The board decided to push back the discussion of the MOUs to a workshop on January 20 and the vote to January 25. I hope citizens come out to these meetings and support their constitutional officers in their stand against the MOUs. Stephen Barham Jr. Powhatan County

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot swimmer Katie Devoud (center) dives into the pool at the Collegiate Aquatic Center on Friday. Devoud has qualified for the state championship in a few different events, including the 200 free relay, the 200 medley relay, the 200 free and the 100 butterfly.

BSH swimming states-bound

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot swim team has many faces, all with a unique story.

Take senior Tara Riley.

She came to the Knights after attending Midlothian, where she was a sprinter and hurdler.

But, stress fractures hampered her ability to run

effectively. She ended up at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, which she started at just one day after she took a tour of the school, and was looking for new sports to try.

“I wanted a smaller school and community,” she said. “I was trying new sports and I was surprising myself by some of these new sports. I did cheerleading in the fall, and I had never done that before.

Now, I’m swimming.”

There’s Zack Dickerson, the lone male swimmer available to swim at the meet on Friday at the Collegiate School Aquatics Center in Chesterfield. One is a sixth grader and was under the seventh grade cap to compete and another was sick.

Besides being the only male swimmer for the Knights on Friday, it wasn’t

hard to miss him. When he wasn’t in the pool, he had a mini-megaphone and cowbell in hand and was cheering on his teammates.

Then there’s Meredith Murphy, a four-year member of the team who just loves being around water.

“I’ve been swimming since I was four years old,” she said. “I really love the adrenaline. I’ve always loved the water and a sport

that takes place in the water is just the best.”

These stories and more make up the Knights team, but they had a singular focus on Friday at the Collegiate School Aquatic Center—state qualifying times.

After the first meet of the season on Jan. 9 in Fredericksburg, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot already had some qualifiers even before anyone hit the water in

Chesterfield.

The 200 free relay team of Katie Devoud, Kathleen Malkerson, Murphy and Riley all locked in their state spot in that event. At Collegiate on Friday, the same four qualified for a spot in the state tournament in the 200 medley relay with a sixth place finish.

Devoud also qualified in see RECORD page 6B

Indians get senior night win over Trojans

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN

Powhatan senior wrester Hunter Honebein got a pin in 2:58 Midlothian’s Maxwell Davis during the wrestling match on Wednesday.

It was senior night for the Powhatan wrestling team on Wednesday against Conference 20 foe Midlothian.

And the Indians did not disappoint in front of a loud home crowd.

The Indians took down the Trojans 42-27, with the exclamation mark on the event delivered by senior Hunter Smith in the 285 weight class match.

Smith took on Canaan Thrift, someone that he’s certainly familiar with.

“It was pretty interesting.

I get to wrestle him once a

year,” Smith said. “It felt good to get the pin.”

He delivered the pin to Thrift in 1:35.

Powhatan took the first two weight class matches of the night. JD McMillin got a pin in 3:14 to take the 106 weight class match, followed by Elijah Jordan getting the technical fall by an 18-3 score.

The Indians’ Ian Oliver went up against Jason Funderburk next, and Funderburk edged Oliver by a decision 9-8.

“He’s a just that’s been scrapping for us,” Tanaka said of Oliver. “He’s only a second year wrestler, and he’s taken his lumps. But,

he’s done a good job of continuing to fight and keep battling. He’s one of those kids where you keep telling him if he keeps working, he’ll find his success. If he keeps working, good things are going to happen for him.

For a kid like that, I would have loved for him to get a win here. I know his time is coming though.”

The Trojans won the 126 by forfeit and then continued on a winning streak when Eric Hogge pinned Colby Cheatham in 3:23.

Knights roll past Bearcats

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Banner Christian’s James Dodd sunk a layup within the first minutes of the game to bring the Bearcats within a point of host Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

Thanks to a fiery Knights offense, that’s as close as Banner Christian would get throughout the game.

Boosted by an early 130 run after Dodd’s layup, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot ran past the Bearcats 67-52 on Friday.

“It was a good win,” Knights coach Luke Bobbitt said. “We had a tough loss on Tuesday on the road. We told the same thing to the guys, just because we won last Friday, doesn’t mean anything.

We have to carry it over.

We had a good couple days of practice and wanted to end the week on a positive note and we did.”

Daivon Edmonds continued his inspired play since his return to the lineup, scoring 12 of the first 16 Blessed Sacrament Huguenot points of the game.

Mason Livers and Noah PHOTO BY JOHN BEEBE Dowdy continued to estabBlessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Daivon Edmonds goes up into traffic from lish this three-headed monBanner Christian for a short jumper during the 67-52 win on Friday. ster offensive machine that

the Knights have started to put together, scoring 20 and 17 points respectively.

Edmonds, Livers and Dowdy are establishing themselves as the main parts of an offense that Bobbitt said he’s happy with.

“I think offensively, it’s been synced up really well,” Bobbitt said. “Guys are swinging the ball to the open man, they’re executing really well on offense.

We’re getting open threes, we’re getting layups.

We’re getting the shots that we want.”

Those shots were falling all night long against Banner Christian. The Bearcats’ defense could not stop the Knights offense, as Blessed Sacrament Huguenot led at halftime 41-14, and at one point in the third quarter led 50-25.

That happiness with how the offense is running right now comes with a caveat though.

“I keep telling the guys, keep working at it, don’t get satisfied living by the three and dying by the three,” Bobbitt said. “We got the basket in the second half too and kept moving through the offense. We’ve been pleased and we’re going to keep working at it

and get guys touches.”

Banner Christian did start to figure things out in the later stages of the game, with some help from foul trouble that the Knights found themselves in.

The Bearcats outscored the Knights 22-11 in the final quarter, but given the 24 point lead the Knights entered the fourth quarter with, the final outcome wasn’t in doubt.

Half-court defense is an area of the game where Bobbitt said improvement is needed.

“We’ve got to get better in the half-court,” he said.

“That bothers me. That just comes from effort and guys moving their feet. We stress that in the locker room.

That’s something we’ll keep working on. We’re trying to emphasize rotation helps defense. If someone takes a hard or contested shot, that’s good defense. We’re trying to get these guys to learn that. We’re still trying to find the right combination on defense.”

On Tuesday the Knights faced off against Kenston Forest, which was after deadline for this edition, and travel to Richmond Christian on Friday.

Blackhawks in the midst of an energetic season

Submitted report

The Powhatan Youth Wrestling Club Blackhawks have started this season determined and energetic.

They began their vigorous tournament schedule with the Powhatan Fall Classic held at the Home of the Blackhawks on Nov. 21.

The team came in second against some hefty competitors.

After dedicating three nights a week to upholding the wrestling code of conduct through character and dedication, the kids have continued to improve and prep for the upcoming wrestling events.

They are not afraid of a little competition and proved that by participating in the VAC Holiday Duals.

The VAC Holiday Duals is one of the toughest and best national tournaments in the country.

Powhatan collaborated with several teams to form the Central Region Elite Team in which seven Powhatan Middle School wrestlers competed: Sean Hall, Austin Walter, Liam Healy, Linwood Hill, Kieran Hathaway, Britton Proffitt and Gavin Utley.

The Powhatan Wrestling Club continues to prepare for the rest of the season with strong elementary and middle school-aged wrestlers competing and training.

The elementary team is led by RJ Fridley, Leland Adams, Ethan Elmore, Brayden Dunning, Gavin Proctor and Gavin Utley, as well as several strong new-

The team traveled to Bristol, Tennessee over the New Year to compete in an individual national tourna-

ment where wrestlers from over 20 states competed.

From there the wrestlers will make a strong push to get ready for the Virginia

Indians fall short after late run against Patriots

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The Powhatan Indians have been right there with its opponent in many games this season.

Against Western Albemarle on Wednesday the Indians, sickness and injury, hung with one of the top teams in Group 5A. Despite a charge late in the game, the Indians fell short in a 53-47 decision at Powhatan on Wednesday.

Powhatan was within three after Joseph Davis got a basket with 1:17 remaining.

But, the Patriots went to the foul line four times in the last minute of the game, and were 7 of 11 from the stripe.

Powhatan had only one basket, despite multiple attempts, during that run.

“I thought we showed a lot of fight,” Indians coach Steve Washburn said. “I think our team is starting understand what it needs to do to be successful. I thought we were getting close, and we’re getting even closer.”

Powhatan led after the end of the first quarter thanks to a John Davis 3pointer as part of a five point run for the Indians.

But, foul trouble put the Indians in a tough spot in the second quarter. Just a few minutes into the second quarter, the Patriots were already in the 1-and-1. Western Albemarle went 4-of-5 at the free throw line in the second quarter, while Powhatan only had seven points total in the quarter.

The Indians persevered through the third quarter and went to the fourth down 11.

But, spurred by Aarion Morris’ three-point run as part of a larger seven point string for the Indians, they put themselves right back in the game.

Then, the Indians went cold from the field and the Patriots were able to seal the game at the free throw line.

Washburn said that he was happy with how well the Indians played against a team that is at the top of the standings in their classification.

“They’re in the Top-10

in 5A and they made the plays they needed to down the stretch,” he said. “They showed why they’re the team that they are. I thought we showed a lot of determination.”

As Powhatan was short a few players, some others got to step up and gave the Indians quality minutes and production. Morris, Austin Washburn and Tyler Taylor were among the players that stepped up when the team needed them.

Austin Washburn had 11 points, Morris had 11 as well, and Taylor had five.

Washburn and Morris were the leading scorers.

“Those guys stepped up into roles and filled some valuable minutes for us,” Steve Washburn said. “It just shows guys are starting to figure it all out and find their niche in our team.”

Farmer in a 12-4 decision.

In the quickest match of the night, Michael Dunn of Midlothian pinned Jacob Marshall in 35 seconds for a 2115 Midlothian lead.

But, Powhatan mounted its comeback then, starting with the Indians’ Jake Martin defeating Loudon Hurt in the 152 class in a backand-forth match that ended in a 10-3 decision in Martin’s favor.

The 160 class went to Powhatan by forfeit, and then Hunter Honebein of Powhatan pinned Maxwell Davis in by pin in 2:58. “I feel like I did really well,� Honebein said. “I was really nervous coming in, but got over it and wrestled like I knew how to.�

Honebein is another senior on the team. “It’s a little heartbreaking,� he said. “It’s my last year and I don’t plan on doing it in college. I’m glad that I went out good on my

senior night.�

The 182 class also went to Powhatan by forfeit.

In the 195 class, Chase Van Horn pinned Jacob Andrews in 3:11 to bring the score to 3627, before Smith’s pin ended the match on a high note for the Indians. “We’re out a couple starters, but it’s always good to have senior night and have our guys get recognized,� coach Jonathan Tanaka said. “Our guys wrestled really well. They love wrestling at home and wrestling in front of their friends and family.�

The match against Midlothian not only was a conference match, but also part of an effort to build local rivalries.

The Trojans are only a 15 minute drive away from Powhatan. “We’re trying to build these local rivalries,� Tanaka said. “It’s something we’d like to keep every year. We’d like to have a rivalry with Midlothian, have a rivalry with Cosby, teams that are close by

by game’s end three key members of the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot team had fouled out of the game.

But, thanks to a lead

that was built in the second quarter, and Brieanna Zimmerman’s 18 points, the Knights came away with a 53-47 win over the Vikings. “It was a great team win,� Knights coach Jenny Pruett said. “We got to see what our bench could do in the heat of the game.

The people that came off the bench had enough confidence to do what they needed to do.�

The Knights were in foul trouble very early on, already at seven team fouls with 17 seconds remaining in the first quarter. The Vikings took advantage of their time at the line in the quarter, going 4-of-4 and had a five point lead before the combination of an Ann Marie Kemp 3-point shot and a hoop from Corinne Anderson tied the game.

A seven point run from Zimmerman quickly followed and the Knights ended the first half with a

six point lead.

Zimmerman has been on a roll for the Knights lately and that roll isn’t a surprise to Pruett. “She’s our constant player,� she said. “She’s a consistent player all the way around.�

That second quarter lead would end up holding the rest of the game.

Kemp had six points in the quarter and Zimmerman had five points.

Kemp had 14 points in total for the game and Corinne Anderson had 12.

The tide started to turn in the fourth quarter, however, as Abbi Sill fouled out. Zimmerman fouled out soon after Sill did, and the Vikings took advantage, trimming the lead from 10 when Zimmerman left the game to just five points.

After BSH’s Elizabeth Carter hit one of her two free throws to push the lead to six, Kemp fouled

out the next possession.

Carter was one of the Knights that provided valuable minutes off the bench, along with Anna Gestwick, Abby Timmons, Erin Claud and Kate Hatfield. “Even the people who only played a couple minutes, they came in and did really good stuff,� Pruett said. “They really grasped that without practicing it.

That was really good.�

Anderson knocked down two free throws with 10 seconds remaining to put the final touch on the game.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot is 2-1 over its past three games, falling to Millwood on Jan. 13.

The Knights traveled to Kenston Forest on Jan. 18 and will head to Richmond Christian on Friday.

The crowd in the stands for the lone home match of the season, minus the wrestling invitational, was impressive and loud throughout the night.

Powhatan track grabs more personal bests

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The Powhatan indoor track team had another successful Saturday at Fork Union, this time in the Fred Hardy Invitational track meet.

The highlight of the meet for the Indians was a new school record that was set by the girls

4x200 relay team.

Hannah Adams, Amy Adcock, Danielle Bigham and Mallory KeckWilson ran a 2:02.16, good for 16th overall in the meet, but setting a new school mark in the process.

J.R. Tucker’s relay team was tops in the event with a 1:51.01.

Keck-Wilson set a

personal record in the 300 meter dash. The freshman ran a 50.26 in the event, good for 27th overall.

Davina Lane of Sherando was the fastest at the event with a 42.87.

Adams finished 25th in the long jump with a 12-foot, five-inch leap and was 17th in the triple jump with a mark of 28-

feet, seven inches.

Another personal record fell in the 3200 meter run. Senior Chase Miffleton ran a 10:37.39, slotting in eighth overall in the event.

Among individual performances, Will Schwartz once again was tops of the Indians contingent with a third place finish in the shot

put, throwing 44-feet, seven-and-one-quarter inches.

Kaleb Bland of Kettle Run won the shot put with a 48-foot, sevenand-one-half inch throw, and Ben Bennington of Spotswood was second with a 45-foot, four-inch throw.

Freshman Ashley Trevillian was tied for

12th with a four-foot, six-inch jump and sophomore Cailegih Dintino ran a 6:11.69 in the 1600 meter run. Junior Alec Hillen ran a 5:36.94 in the boys 1600 meter, good for 37th.

The Indians will next compete at the St. Christopher’s Mini-Invite on Jan. 30.

Oliver latest Lexus Leadership Award nominee

Powhatan senior Alex Oliver got the chance to be interviewed on the radio on Wednesday morning.

Oliver, a golfer for the Indians, was selected as a nominee for the 21st An-

the 100 back, the 200

free with a third place finish and fourth in the 100 fly, also with a time that made states.

Malkerson won the 50 butterfly at Collegiate and finished sixth in the 200 IM with a state qualifying time.

She has also qualified for the state tournament in the 100 butterfly.

Malkerson, Devoud, Katie Hardman and Anna Ransone finished in fifth place in the 400 free relay, with a time that also qualified for the state tournament.

Riley finished sev-

nual Pursuit of Perfection Leadership Award.

The program is sponsored by Lexus of Richmond, News Radio 1140 WRVA, Fox Sports 910, Fleming’s Steakhouse and Fox Richmond.

As a weekly winner, Olive received a plaque

and was interviewed on WRVA, WRNL and appeared on the Fox Richmond Sports Report on Wednesday.

Also as a part of the program, Oliver is one of 30 weekly qualifiers that will be a candidate for the Lexus of Richmond Pur-

enth in the 50 freestyle, and eighth in the 100 freestyle. Murphy finished sixth in the 500 freestyle. Ransone had a seventh place finish in the 100 freestyle.

The Collegiate meet also gave a chance to two JV swimmers for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, Lillian Gentile and Ella Schuetzinger, to swim and they both had good showings.

The Knights are coached by Ron Gundry, who also coaches the Knights football team.

Both Murphy and Dickerson credited Gundry with making an impact his first season as coach.

“It’s all about push-

ing myself hard in practice,” Murphy said. “We practice hard. Gundry really pushes us.”

Dickerson, who finished fifth in the 100 breaststroke and eighth in the 50 freestyle, said that many of the Knights have cut down their times this season.

“We’ve definitely improved with Gundry as coach,” he said. “Especially since last year, I know I’ve dropped a lot of time. I think we’re a better team overall.”

The state championship meet will be in Christiansburg on Feb. 19 and 20.

suit of Perfection Leadership Award, which comes with a $10,000 scholarship.

Oliver is not the only Powhatan area student that has been nominated for the award. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Anna Ransone was a weekly nominee in

the fifth week of the competition.

Other schools that are represented through the 14 weeks thus far are St. Catherine’s, St. Christopher’s, Maggie Walker Governor’s School, Mills Godwin, Monacan, Collegiate and Douglas Free-

man as well as Blessed Sacrament and Powhatan.

Student-athletes are nominated for the program by school officials. The awards banquet for all weekly qualifiers and their parents and coaches will be in May.

Order ramps now for an early spring harvest

By Virginia McCown Special to the Powhatan Today

No matter where you stand on the fad or frenzy of ramp dining and festivals, these tiny wild onions have always been a welcome sign of spring.

Wild leeks or ramps are members of the lily family and resemble scallions. The entire plant is edible, bulb and all. Ramps (Allium tricocum), a native to eastern North American forests, emerge in moist, shady areas during March and April. The plants send up a circle of soft, broad leaves that die back as warm weather sets in.

Ramps grow naturally in hardwood forests of beech, birch, sugar maple and poplar but will also grow under canopies of hickory or oak. If planting in a wooded area isn’t available, a shade structure can be built over the garden bed. The site should be moist and high in organic matter. It’s important that moisture be maintained throughout the entire year. Late summer through early

fall is usually the best time to plant ramp seeds. If there is not an adequate period of warmth after sowing the seeds, they will not germinate in the spring but will germinate in the second spring or 18 months later.

This is why most growers prefer to start ramps from rhizomes. Ordering the rhizomes now for February or early March planting is recommended. Because ramps can take years to mature, over harvesting is forcing wild populations into decline. In recent years wild ramp harvesting has become illegal in several national parks in both the U.S. and Canada.

Current levels of ramp harvesting may not be sustainable, said Jim Chamberlain, a scientist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service’s Southern Research Station in Blacksburg.

If you want spring ramps, it might be more environmentally responsible to start growing them yourself.

In 2013, Chamberlain partnered with Virginia Tech and Cornell University to produce a six-part video series about farming ramps. The Ramps Forest Farming Video Series is available on You Tube and was created as a part of an extension project with support from Southern Research Station (SRS), the U.S. Department of Agriculture-National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA).

Have your scapes and eat them, too There are hundreds of named varieties of garlic, but all them fall under two major categories: soft-necked and hard-necked. If you grow your own garlic, you can enjoy the mature bulbs as well as their scapes. The garlic scape is the flower stem the garlic plant produces before the bulbs mature. “It is the flower stalk from hard neck garlic that is that is harvested while still tender and before the flower opens,� said Deby Bigdely, a Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardener and gourmet cook.

Scapes have a delicate garlic flavor and a tender, pliant texture. Be forewarned: soft neck garlic rarely produces a flower scape. If you want scapes in the spring, select a hard-necked garlic cultivar for planting.

Whether you plant soft-necked or hard-necked garlic, it’s still not too late to plant now for a spring harvest.

It’s easiest to start by setting out individual cloves. Garlic likes well drained and loamy soil with lots of organic material. The individual cloves should be planted about one to two inches deep and spaced four to six inches apart. “I tend to plant (the cloves) closer—about 2.5 inches apart,� says Bigdely. “In the spring when the garlic looks like nice healthy green onions, I thin them by harvesting the green garlic.�

She said she uses the green garlic in her kitchen. The remaining garlic Metro Creative left in the ground has space to develop its bulbs.

Garlic bulbs begin growing by sending out roots.

Once the roots establish, the stalk begins growing. The individual plants will resemble green onions throughout the winter. Green garlic is immature garlic that hasn’t ripened. It resembles a scallion. It is very tender and delicious, yet never overpowering.

Come spring, the plants begin sending up the scapes or flower stalks. Green garlic and garlic scapes are only available for a short time in May. Even if you choose to forgo this springtime delicacy sautĂŠed with a dash of sea salt and olive oil, scapes should be removed from hard neck garlic in the spring so as to encourage the plant to focus all its energy on growing bigger, healthier bulbs.

Hope springs eternal. With good planning – and planting – a spring crop of garlic or ramps is a surety.
