OWHATAN – A group of Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) employees recently got the opportunity to combine their hobby with work when they saved upwards of 120,000 honey bees in Powhatan and Amelia counties so they could live to pollinate another day. While removing leaning and dangerous trees in Powhatan, a VDOT crew found a honey bee hive in a roadside tree along Huguenot Trail. One of the contractors went

OWHATAN – The simplest moments in the large task that is being the Powhatan Christmas Mother can sometimes be the most memorable. For Marie Marie Hertzler, who

was Christmas Mother along with her husband Bob in 1990, the moment that stands out was witnessing the sheer pleasure of a woman who received a handmade quilt. Gayle Walter, 2015 Christmas Mother, can’t help but smile when she thinks about a luncheon she gave during her term for not only past Powhatan Christmas Mothers but

those from all around the region. Deanna Coffey, 1971 Christmas Mother, loved how happy seniors were when they received a gift from the Christmas Mother. And for 2017 Christmas Mother Josephine “Jo” Goodman, her favorite part of the role so far has been meeting so many new people in see MOTHER, pg. 6

Mason shares story of program’s first year By Laura McFarland

OWHATAN – Fifty years ago, Helen Mason said yes to being the first Powhatan County Christmas Mother before she even knew what it would mean. The wife and mother of four was called one day in the fall of 1967 by Sadie Johnson, a friend but also di-

rector of the Department of Public Welfare (DPW), now known as the Department of Social Services. “She said, ‘You know during Christmas time the people that we serve are in need. Not all of them are reached or have anybody to give them gifts or remember them. We were thinking about starting a Christmas Mother program,’ ” Mason said. Right then and there, Johnson asked Mason if she would be the

Christmas Mother. “I said, ‘Yes that would be fine. I don’t know what I would be doing,’” Mason recalled. “She said it would be the start of it. It would be very fledgling.” The Christmas Mother program wasn’t new to Virginia. Some localities had already been doing it for years or even decades. But it was new to Powhatan. At that time, there were very few see FIRST, pg. 8

out to remove the tree and was getting stung by bees, said Butch Sirry, VDOT team member. “They notified the inspector that they couldn’t take the tree down, it was full of bees and we should contact an exterminator, which has been a normal practice in the past,” he said. In years past, that is exactly how the situation would have played out. That was before VDOT Chesterfield Residency’s hobbyist beekeepers and Huguenot Beekeepers Association members Sirry, Bruce McFadden, and Melvin Morrison started getting involved. One of the operators called McFadden, a Chesterfield assistant residency administrator, who saw the bees could be extracted if the tree, which was coming down anyway, was cut down. With the homeowner’s permission, the tree was cut down and the bees safely removed. “Honey bees are vital to the environ-

Board takes initial look at comp plan By Laura McFarland

News Editor

POWHATAN – A review and update of the document that helps shape how the county develops took another step forward last week when the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors got its first look at the work that has been done. Karin Carmack, chair of the Powhatan County Planning Commission, spoke to the board at a meeting on Monday, Nov. 20, laying out some of the changes being recommended to the county’s 2017 Long-range Comprehensive Plan. She pointed out this is a process that has been more than a year in the making and most recently included two public workshops where residents had a chance to look at some of the pro-

posed changes and give their feedback. After a great deal of analysis, the planning commission decided to keep the comp plan much as it was in the 2010 version with some modifica-

tions, she said, before going through the recommended changes. She and the board also had a detailed discussion on the future land use map. One of the biggest decisions that came out of the up-

date was recommending the county keep the designation for three urban growth areas Carmack also referred to as development nodes. The three areas are identified as locations to capture the majority of residential and commercial growth in Powhatan County. They are close to services and offer the greatest opportunities for development. One special area, called Route 711 Village, focuses on the area around Route 288 and Huguenot Trail. The other two, Route 60 Corridor East and Courthouse Village, are both located around Anderson Highway. The planning commission had been looking at the possibility of combining the two growth areas along Anderson Highway into one without a rural break between them. see BOARD, pg. 2

Former golf club finance director pleads guilty to stealing identity By Frank Green Richmond Times-Dispatch

A Henrico County man pleaded guilty on Tuesday, Nov. 21 after taking the job of finance director at Independence Golf Club in Powhatan County using a false identity of a child who died decades ago. Shawn D. Gover, 46, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated identity theft in U.S. District Court. According to court documents, each count calls for a mandatory two-year prison term. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 23 by U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson. An affidavit from a task force officer with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said that Gover was convicted in California of felony grand theft in 2007 and sentenced to 16 months. In pleading guilty on Nov. 21, Gover admitted that in 2013 in California he changed his name to Aaron G. Roberts, who was born in Denton, Texas, in 1974, died as a young child, and who,

unlike Gover, did not have a felony record. In March 2016, using the name, date of birth and Social Security number of Roberts, Gover applied for and won the job of finance director for the golf club in Powhatan County. As finance director, he had control over financial records including the operating account checkbook and corporate credit card. From fall 2016 until this summer, while using the false identity, he misappropriated roughly $33,000 from the club by increasing his paycheck by $300 a month; wrote four company checks to himself totaling almost $10,000; and misused the credit card for personal purposes. He also admitted that on Nov. 13, 2016, he used the Roberts identity to buy a Sig Sauer Model 1911, a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun, falsely stating that he was not a convicted felon. The case is being prosecuted by David T. Maguire, an assistant U.S. attorney.

C R I M E R E P O RT Tuesday, Nov. 14 • A deputy responded to a larceny in the 2800 block of Anderson Highway.

Wednesday, Nov. 15 • A credit card fraud was reported at the sheriff’s office. • A deputy responded to a report of illegal dumping in the 4100 block of Old Buckingham Road.

“After looking at citizen comments, looking at the 2010 plan with all the work that went into it, there was really no reason to change that. So we kept that with some modifications to all three areas,” she said. Carmack also talked about changes to land use designation, including removing designations on some areas where the type of growth it is labeled with is not feasible, such as the Village Center designation. They also added new designations, Economic Opportunity and Industrial. The Economic Opportunity designation would be aimed at large chunks of land where the county would be looking for a landowner or developer to have a master plan that included a good deal of commercial and some residential development, Carmack said. Bret Schardein, director of community development, said there is a major lack of single large parcels to be developed. “If you have a high quality development project that came in, they don’t want to negotiate with 15 different property owners to piece these things together. They prefer to work with one or fewer property owners,” he said. “That is something we don’t have a lot of in the vicinity of (Route) 60 is large, single-owner parcels, so those are few and far between. Some of them may not be developed in the near future; it may be long-term, Schardein said. However, that means

She is survived by two daughters and their spouses, Ann Bentley Johnstone and Frank Johnstone of Powhatan BENTLEY and Marie Bentley Tesh and David Tesh of Midlothian; two grandchildren, Michael Tesh and his wife, Carrie Tesh, of Midlothian and Stephanie Johnstone and her boyfriend, Kyle Martin, of Richmond; and a greatgranddaughter, Riley Jean Tesh.

Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, noted the planning commission’s goal of trying to maintain flexibility while sending a message the uses they envision for those areas. Carmack pointed out the planning commission pushed the rural preservation, in some places returning the area to that designation where they thought the village center and village residential had gotten too far out. They also added verbage in the comp plan about preserving the median on Route 60 in the face of future development or road widening, which was a request from many people, she said. Carmack and the supervisors discussed several other aspects of the plan, such as the planning commission members wanting to have stronger architectural standards in the county and the need to look at the transportation part of the comp plan in more detail. This was only an initial introduction for the supervisors to allow them to start familiarizing themselves with the recommended changes. The planning commission will have a public hearing on the comprehensive plan at its meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 5 in the Village Building auditorium.

Newton shares colorful life story in new book News Editor

OWHATAN – From the wings of the stages of Vaudeville to juggling seeking an education as a young mother to teaching and advocating for Virginia’s children, Dr. Gail B. Newton of Powhatan has lived a roller coaster of a life. Her story wasn’t always pretty and definitely had its ups and downs, but even the things she looks back on and knows she shouldn’t have done carry their own meaning and impact, she said. The people, places and events she met and saw on that journey are the heart of Newton’s autobiography, “Born Crying,” which is one of two books she self-published this fall. The other is a children’s book called “Will in the Wood.” Newton will be selling and signing both books at a booth at the Mistletoe Market craft and vendor show being held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2 at Pocahontas Elementary School. “Born Crying” chronicles Newton’s life from her more tumultuous days as the stage door daughter of comedian Ray English and performer and songwriter Edith English to her own varied career in the education field and things she saw and did along the way. “If you have a story like that in you, I think you want to share it,” she said. So Newton did, chronicling her life in pieces for many years. And when a fire in her home destroyed the first

Newton was married at age 16 and a mother by the time she was 18, but she worked hard to go back to school and advance her education, eventually becoming a Doctor of Education. Newton was looking for a more settled life than what her parents

provided and she adored children, which is what led her to pursue a career in education. Her varied career included time as a teacher, a reading specialist, a school principal, a college instructor and a Head Start director. She also was an assistant superintendent and an acting superintendent in Powhatan County. “My whole point in life is that I want things to be good for children. I want children to love learning and I want them to feel good about themselves and the world and help make the world a better place,” she said. In addition to the significant moments in her life, Newton gives her perspective on critical moments in the nation’s history, including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the first man on the moon and the election of President Barack Obama. She also shares her own feelings about moving to the South and being shocked at the segregation she witnessed. Newton’s second recently released book, “Will in the Wood,” is a children’s book that emphasizes the importance of imagination and literacy. “The concept in this book is that reading can open up the door to the world and you can use your imagination by pulling on all of the things you read,” she said. The book is a family affair, featuring photographs taken by her daughter, Melissa Conner, and further illustrated by her granddaughter, Catherine Ann Conner. Also featured in the book is her grandson,

In a related save, a tree knocked over by a storm in Amelia County in the state right of way was also discovered to contain a hive of bees, said Morrison, VDOT supervisor in the Amelia area headquarters. In both cases, once the hives were removed, they were safely relocated to a property off of Cosby Road in Powhatan County. The beekeepers estimated the moves saved approximately 120,000 honey bees’ lives. “It was rewarding to use our hobby on the job to save bees’ lives,” Sirry said. “We were able to make the roadsides safer for the public, keep our workers safe and better the environment by rescu-

ing the honey bees.” For the three beekeepers, the broader picture in these incidents was keeping these bees not only alive but local, Sirry said. Bees are in decline and beekeepers are losing hives every year. And considering how vital bees are to pollinating everything from farms to orchards to wild flowers, that is a problem. “If we can find local bees, they are used to the environment in this area so they have a much higher survival rate. Any time we can come across a swarm of bees or bees that are in a bad location and we can re-

Powhatan Today, November 29, 2017

F I R S T B A P T I S T H O L D S T H A N K S G I V I N G S E RV I C E A N D M E A L Contributed Report Thanksgiving originated as a small fellowship of people coming together, the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians in 1621. In 1863, in the midst of a civil war, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a National Thanksgiving holiday. For centuries, families have gathered around the table to share in fellowship and blessings. As a pastor, Travis L. Keith, senior pastor of First Independent Baptist Church in Powhatan, said he always wants to incorporate the Lord Jesus Christ because that is from Whom our blessings come from.

On Sunday, Nov. 19, the church had a community Thanksgiving service and meal that was held in its Activity Center. Attendees enjoyed special music by groups, families, and the church choir, followed by a huge meal with all of the fixings. “Thanksgiving has sorta gotten lost since Christmas seems to start in the stores and malls right after or before Halloween. Thanksgiving is not about football or Black Friday shopping. It is about the first six letters – thanks – giving thanks,” Keith said. “We are a truly blessed people, nation, and country. We should not let ThanksgivCONTRIBUTED PHOTOS ing get lost in the spirit of Christmas but keep it set aside to stop First Independent Baptist Church in Powhatan holds a Thanksgiving service and meal on Nov. 19. and be thankful!”

was told that the role of the Christmas Mother was to be the face of the Christmas Committee and rattle the cup. It is so much more! I saw faces of neighbors asking for assistance so their children could enjoy Christmas – faces that were thankful for anything we could do to help, former students who were having a difficult time making ends meet, and much more. The Christmas Mother’s role is to embody the attitude of giving and helping others, and it’s a privilege.

he Christmas Mother’s role is to inspire volunteers, serve clients and be the face of the program for the year.

Karen Norsworthy 2001 Christmas Mother

Powhatan County. “I thought I knew everybody but I have met so many people. There has always been a warm reception everywhere I’ve gone to speak and the food has been most delicious,” she said with a grin. The role of Christmas Mother is always special, but since the program is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, it is even more so, she said. Goodman said it was such a blessing that Helen Mason was willing to become the first Powhatan Christmas Mother in 1967 and start the county on this journey that so many people have served. “It makes me feel great that I was chosen to serve in the 50th year to represent Powhatan County. I think that’s huge. And to follow in the footsteps of all of the Christmas Mothers, I am just trying to do the best job I can and make them proud of me,” she said. Goodman wasn’t sure what to expect when she agreed to take on the role, but almost three months into the job and she said she is definitely hooked. The role of not only the Christmas Mother but the Christmas Everyday Committee members that keep the program running every year are so amazing and can have such an impact on people, she said. “Now that I am the Christmas Mother and I am involved, I would like to remain involved for the rest of my life. I

think it is the greatest program ever,” she said. Carol Baltimore, who was Christmas Mother along with her husband Bob in 2011, remembers that feeling. She was in college when the program was started in Powhatan and totally unaware of its existence. Then she became involved and realized it was made up of a group of women who had the same interests and attitudes that she did. “I have served in many organizations but this is the one in which I have felt like I could make a difference. I guess I signed up for life,” she said. The program has weathered some major uncertainties. Karen Norsworthy was Christmas Mother when the terrorists attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, happened and she talked about how uncertain they all were about what was going to happen. “My first meeting was 9/11, which set the tone for the year. People were anxious to do all they could for everyone. At that time we had about eight on the committee, so I enlisted neighbors and friends to send letters, write shoe and food coupons, and come wrap,” she said. Several Christmas Mothers have been at the helm when the program had to watch the spaces that once housed them slip through their fingers. Pinckey Sowers, 2013 Christmas Mother, mentioned the challenge of losing the space the program was using at the War Memorial Building.

”

Fran Carleton, 2014 Christmas Mother, mentioned the same challenge of finding a new place that met some or all of the program’s needs and then moving. It is hard to think that after 50 years, the program still doesn’t have a place to call its own. “I see a re-occurring challenge for the Christmas Everyday Committee in finding a permanent space for us so we are not always packing up and moving,” she said. But even with the struggles, what has kept the program going for 50 years and makes the men and women who lead it so proud to be part of it are the memories they make and the people they meet. For Frances Broaddus-Crutchfield, 2010 Christmas Mother along with her husband George, it was both the people who worked on the Christmas Everyday Committee and the appreciative clients they served: “a lady who called me her Christmas angel; a man who came in threadbare clothes and peeled dollar bills from his wallet and said he was giving back because we’d been good to him; and a woman who shared her children’s outgrown clothes because she was thankful for things done for her.” For more information on the Powhatan Christmas Mother program, visit http://www.powhatanchristmasmother.org.

Keeping scammers occupied offers night of fun By Laura McFarland News Editor

rrrring. “Hello?” “Grandma, it’s me, your grandson. I’m in trouble and I need your help. I’ve been arrested and you have to send money to get me out.” Let’s hit the pause button right there. This is a scam. Law enforcement calls it the grandparents’ scam. Someone calls up pretending to be a grandchild out of state and in trouble. They desperately need you to rush to a store and buy gift cards to bail them out. I repeat: This is a scam! Some people would recognize this right away and just hang up the phone or share a few choice words with the scammer. That’s a good thing and definitely what the sheriff’s office encourages you to do. But then there are people like Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office’s crime analyst Anne Reynolds, who is simultaneously tough as nails, soft as pudding, and has a wicked sense of humor. So when she was home with her husband and visiting best friend one night recently and received one of those calls, she knew from the first word, Grandma, that it was a scam because that isn’t what her grandson calls her. But, like I said, she has a wicked sense of humor and decided to have some fun. What follows isn’t an exact transcript but the general gist of the night – which stretched over four hours and included eight or nine calls and a few margaritas – but which Anne described as “the best time I’ve had in a long damn time.” Back to the call.

It’s about 4:30 p.m. The man on the phone claiming to be her grandson says he has been in an accident and hurt his nose, which is why he sounds funny. She needs to send $1,500 to bail him out or he will be sent to jail. Anne readily agrees to help. Her “grandson” puts the “public defender” on the phone and he starts to give her instructions. Anne says she has to wait and talk to her husband because that’s a lot of money. He agrees and says he will call back in an hour. About an hour later, the man calls back and says the judge needs to know if she is going to help her grandson. The judge is losing patience. Anne assures him she just needs a little more time to get the money together. How long will that take? She needs another hour. The public defender calls back. The judge is still waiting. Anne says she’s still working on it. By this time, it’s approaching 7:30 p.m. How much time do you need? Sigh. Audible impatience. Thirty minutes later and another call later, Anne explains the best she can do is $1,100. The public defender offers to see if the judge will accept that. Surprise, surprise, the public defender calls back. The judge will accept $1,100. What a nice judge. Anne is told to go to Walmart and purchase 11 $100 gift certificates. He will call her back and she can read the numbers on the gift cards to him. Anne agrees. What a good grandma. After the time she said she would need to get there and back has passed, the public defender calls for the final time. She needs to read him the numbers on the gift cards.

PCC opens its doors for Thanksgiving feast

Anne tells him she can’t do that because she works for a law enforcement agency and knows for a fact he doesn’t have her grandson. “I felt like even though he took my time, it took time away from him scamming someone else,” Anne said. Plus, it was fun. “I had a guest and we laughed all night.” Anne’s story was hilarious and makes you want to give a little victory arm pump that she successfully wasted so much of that scammer’s time. The problem is, not everyone is as in the know as Anne, and, while the public is regularly reminded about this scam, it still works sometimes. It worked only two weeks ago on a Powhatan County resident who lost a great deal of money. So here it is again. Law enforcement, court systems, the IRS and any other legitimate government agency will NOT call you and tell you to pay bonds, back taxes, fines or fees using gift card numbers over the phone, wiring money through Western Union or other similar methods. NEVER. So if you get one of those calls, unless you want to have a little fun like Anne, just hang up. If you are truly in doubt, hang up and call your grandchild to check on their welfare or do a little research to find out the official number of the agency that supposedly called you and call and check. And, grandchildren, don’t forget to check in with your grandparents once in awhile to see how they are and let them know you are OK. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Dear Editor, In a letter to the Board of Supervisors and the School Board, the Christmas Everyday Committee (the Christmas Mother) has requested space at the current Pocahontas Middle School facility when it is vacated in 2018. This committee is not a seasonal effort as is often thought. We provide for the needs of Powhatan citizens at Christmas and continue to work through the Department of Social Services and others as needs arise throughout the year. We have not had a home base since we left the War Memorial Building in 2014. The Pocahontas Middle School space would fit our program well. For 50 years, we have worked out of peoples’ homes, offices, garages, storage spaces, churches, the War Memorial Building and schools – all of which have been greatly appreciated. Data collected since 2012 shows that we have served in excess of 1,500 Powhatan citizens in five years. Sixty three percent of our clients have income at or below the 100 percent Federal Poverty Guidelines. Through the generosity of the Powhatan community, the Christmas Everyday Committee has always been able to fund the needs of our clients. It is our belief that funds donated to the Christmas Mother program are given for these purposes. We do not choose to spend donations on renting a

space. Out of necessity, a storage unit is rented to store any surplus we have and collect merchandise for the next year. Practically speaking, the CEC is concerned with space, accessibility, safety and privacy. The Christmas Everyday Committee operates best with at least 3,800 square feet of space in which to work – shopping, organizing inventory, wrapping gifts, collecting merchandise and delivery of gifts. Since 2014, each year an average of 200 gift distribution boxes have been filled. This takes a lot of space. We need a more permanent home. With this information in perspective, the Christmas Everyday Committee is asking for support from the Board of Supervisors and the Powhatan County School Board in securing space at the current middle school location. It is our hope and belief that our services have benefitted many people in Powhatan for 50 years and with space to operate, we hope to continue to do so. Thank you, Powhatan, for your continued support of the Christmas Mother. We ask you, if you feel this is a worthy cause, to contact your county representatives and support our effort to find a space as we continue making Powhatan a better place to live for all citizens. Carol Baltimore Powhatan Christmas Everyday Committee

community services organizations in Powhatan like people see today, but it did have a number of home demonstration clubs, said Mason, who was a member of one of them. The clubs, which were under extension services, met monthly and had workshops on topics such as canning, gardening, home furnishings, clothing, crafts, meal preparation, health and nutrition, financial and legal matters, and home repair. There were about 30 people on the list of recipients; some were families with children but there were about eight or 10 senior citizens, whether it be one or a couple, Mason said. The only cash the program had was $60 given by the Welfare Department. Instead of relying only on that donation, the home demonstration clubs were asked to fix up gifts, espe-

Ginny Broughton Mary Frances Adair Connie Moslow Nancy Alexander Mary Midget Harrison Vernell Straughter Gail Timberlake Kay & Tommy Mann Frances & George Crutchfield Carol & Bob Baltimore Nancy Ayers Pinckey Sowers Fran Carleton Gayle Walter PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND Teresa A group of 14 past Powhatan Christmas Mothers joined Whitaker Josephine Goodman, center, the 2017 Christmas Mother, for Josephine a photo to help commemorate the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th Goodman anniversary and then shared a meal together.

cially for the children. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t extravagant, but it was meant to make sure they all knew someone was thinking of them, she said. The $60 in cash went to buy fresh fruit, nuts, candy and some canned goods for the recipients. The clubs met in the basement of May Memorial Baptist Church to fix up the bags for the families, Mason said. Coming full circle, May Memorial has once again offered room in its basement to wrap and hold gifts until they are picked up or delivered. About eight to 10 women spearheaded the program that first year, and they â&#x20AC;&#x153;were enthusiastic about getting the gifts, getting together, wrapping them and taking them,â&#x20AC;? Mason said. After the bags were ready, most were delivered by different women from the home demonstration clubs on Dec. 23 and 24, 1967. Mason delivered four of them and said the recipients were â&#x20AC;&#x153;appreciative and surprised.â&#x20AC;? It was a busy time, but it went by quickly, she said. The timeline from getting the names and dividing them up to delivering them only lasted for about a week or 10 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After it was over, that was the end of what we did. It is not like today when they serve them year round for something. It is big business now. But as I told Josephine (Goodman), you had to start somewhere. That basically was the start of the Powhatan Christmas Mother in 1967,â&#x20AC;? Mason said. Then and now, Mason said she felt honored to be the first Powhatan Christmas Mother. She would remain involved in the program for another 40 years by going in around Christmas time to wrap gifts.

Knowing what the program was like that first year, Mason said she was amazed, particularly these last 40 years, by how it has grown and how much time women and men of this community give to the Christmas Mother program. Mason was the wife of Leslie Mason, who at the time was a lawyer in Powhatan, and the mother of four children under the age of 10 when she was the Christmas Mother, but she only had to balance those roles for a few weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am happy to say I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I could do it, even at the same age, if it were something as big as it is now. I am glad I was the first,â&#x20AC;? said Mason, who turned 89 on Thanksgiving Day. Luckily, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to since Josephine â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joâ&#x20AC;? Goodman is the 2017 Christmas Mother for its 50th anniversary year. Mason said she met Goodman when their daughters played sports together and said she is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fine person.â&#x20AC;? Mason said the same thing that helped the Powhatan Christmas Mother program reach 50 years is what will help it carry on well into the future â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the spirit and the willingness of the people of Powhatan to just make sure that these good things keep happening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;New people who have come in, most of them have been such good people that are happy to be in Powhatan and they want to carry on traditions. But they also have so many good ideas â&#x20AC;Ś not only have them but work on them,â&#x20AC;? she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

The majority of all opioid misuse starts with people using medication that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prescribed to them. One way people get opioids is to steal them from a friend or relative. And, 90% of home break-ins in our community are done for the purpose of stealing prescriptions.

Powhatan completes final tune-up against Cavs By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

he Powhatan Indians had scrimmaged for four quarters against Clover Hill on Nov. 21 at Powhatan High School when the Indians were thrown into two very common and crucial situations. First, coach Steve Washburn told the Indians they were down by four points with

two minutes remaining in the game. After the Indians attempted to come back, but fell short, the script was flipped and Powhatan had to protect a late lead. The Indians were able to complete that goal, which put a bow on the pre-season slate and the page will turn over to the regular season opener. “I feel as though we are progressing toward the team that I was hoping we’d become,” Washburn said following the scrim-

mage against the Cavaliers. “We have some inconsistencies that we’re going through, but you expect that early in the year. That’s mainly showing up on the defensive end, more than anything. But, we’re going to be able to score and we’re going to be able to do a lot of good things on the offensive end.” Powhatan ended the 2016-17 season with a record of 7-15. The year ended on Feb. 13 in the Conference 20 tournament at

Dinwiddie in a 65-53 final. One thing the Indians are not lacking on the roster this season is experience and upperclassmen. Sophomore guard Kyle Williams is the only underclassman on the team. Powhatan has four seniors (Cody Johnson, Atticus Morgan, Joseph Santiago, Austin Washburn) and a whole host of juniors, led by Deven Van Natter. see INDIANS, pg. 3B

hile the rest of their classmates from Powhatan High School were probably sleeping in on the first day of the Thanksgiving break, that’s not what the Indians wrestling team had on their docket. Instead, most of the Indians wrestling team could be found at Blackhawk Gym on the mats in one of the wrestling rooms getting better and preparing for the season ahead. “We’re lucky to have this facility available to us,” coach Jonathan Tanaka said. “A lot of our guys are parts of both programs. That helps with the continuity of both programs. For our high school

guys, it’s good to get out of the high school every once in a while and mix it up. It’s the same thing we’d be doing at the high school, but just a different environment. Thanksgiving break is a different time for us. It’s cool for us to be together and get a good workout in.” The Indians are coming off a very successful 2016-17 campaign. Powhatan’s Collin Gerardi, who recently signed his National Letter of Intent to wrestling for Virginia Tech, won his third consecutive state championship, defeating Sean Crumbliss of Freedom-South Riding by pin. Gerardi was one of seven Powhatan wrestlers to qualify for the state championship tournament, but was the only one see WRESTLING, pg. 4B

Powhatan track reloads for promising indoor season By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

he athletic complex at Powhatan High School was quiet on the afternoon of Nov. 15. It was an overcast, windy day and a bit chilly, but while the stadium was quiet, it wasn’t void of activity. Powhatan’s indoor track team was practicing among all the different aspects of indoor track: the throwing sports, running as well as the jumping events. Last season, Powhatan sent three members of the team to the state meet at Roanoke College. Will Schwartz, now at Virginia Commonwealth University, was sixth in the discus, Ashley Trevillian finished eighth overall in the high jump and Lindsey Fanz was 10th in the 1000 meters. At the region meet last season, Powhatan sent six individual qualifiers as well as three relay teams. Coach Hedy Keller said that

she thinks that the performances from last season, as well as the outdoor track and cross country successes, have given the indoor team some momentum heading into the season. “I think we have a lot of talent that came back this year,” she said. “We have a lot of new talent and a lot of our new talent is interested in trying new events. So, I’m excited that we’re going to have several high jumpers, we might have a couple hurdlers this year and some more high jumpers.” One event Keller said that Indians are lacking is in the triple jump on the girls side, but she’s hopeful she can find one or two athletes who can compete in that event. The new talent won’t necessarily fill the shoes of the departed seniors from last season immediately, according to Keller, but their time is certainly coming. “I think with them starting this year, then if they do spring track and then indoor next year, I think they’ll be dynamos,” she said.

“I’m seeing some really good potential out here.” Keller said among the female athletes that several girls have stood out thus far in the practices. “Mallory Keck-Wilson has stood out,” she said. “Ashley Trevillian, of course. Katlyn Mayo has looked strong. Sami Pleasants is new to track, but she’s going to be working on the relays with us as well as the long jump and anything else I can convince her to do. We also have Ariana Moyer returning in hurdles and she’s been working really hard on her form and she’s determined to make it to states this year.” On the boys side, coach Ernie Henderson said the boys side of the team has a few returning athletes, but several new faces to the team. “In indoor track, there’s a lot of turnover,” he said. “But, it’s a good group of guys. We’ve been working hard so far. I think we’re going to make a lot of improvement.”

Some of those improvements Henderson has seen are in the jumping events. “We’ve got a couple hurdlers,” he said. “I think we’ll be vastly improved, which was our weakness the last couple years.” Schwartz was the lone member of the boys indoor track team to qualify for the state meet last season, with the boys 4x800 team finishing 12th at the region meet. Henderson said that the talent coming in for the Indians this season will be able to help fill the shoes of the graduated seniors. “We should be very competitive,” he said. Overall, Henderson said that improvement and “getting better” is what he is going to strive for this year. “We’ve taken small steps,” he said. “I want to get better to where we are consistently competitive at every meet we go to.” The season will start at Caroline on Dec. 2, followed by St. Christopher’s on Dec. 9

Keller believes the St. Christopher’s meet will be one to watch for the Indians. “That meet will give our new athletes a chance to see what the competition is all about,” she said. “For our returning athletes, it’s a beautiful track. It’s a 200 meter track, so when they’re running these distances, it’s not these really weird number of laps. It’s a great opportunity for them to compete. Since it’s an invitational, I think it’ll allow them to qualify for regionals.” Keller said the team has a clear-cut short-term goal for the indoor team this season. “It’s just getting their confidence up and their resilience up,” she said. “They haven’t competed or worked out in this capacity since June for outdoor track. They may have done a fall sport, but they need to get their confidence and resilience up.” Billy Fellin may be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.

BSH girls basketball seeking improvement this season By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s girls basketball team had no seniors on the roster last year. So, in terms of continuity and team chemistry, the Knights have a head start on most other teams coming into the 2017-18 season. “Everyone came back for us,” head coach Ethan Sill said. “I’m pretty excited about that.” Last season was the first as head coach of the girls basketball team for Sill, himself a Blessed Sacrament Huguenot alumnus. “I’m hoping to see movement (this year),” Sill said of the improvements he’d like to see in the sec-

ond year. “Both with and without the ball.” While the Knights struggled with depth issues and learning Sill’s system, there were some bright spots on the floor last year. One such game was in the opener against Tandem Friends, when the Knights erased a nine-point deficit to come back and win 38-29. This season, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot has four seniors on the roster in Corrinne Anderson, Erin Claud, Kate Hatfield and Anna Gestwick. Sill said that he’s looking to Anderson as the on-court leader coming into this season. “She’s been working really hard this summer,” he said. “Hopefully that will

pay off.” The Knights warmed up in the pre-season with scrimmages against Grove Christian and Cumberland. On Nov. 27, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot opened the season at The Steward School and then traveled to Millwood on Dec. 4. The home opener for the Knights will be against Veritas on Dec. 5. A game on Dec. 8 at Southampton will be the final game scheduled for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot until 2018. “This season, we just want to have some fun and win some games,” Sill said. “Hopefully we win more than one. Realistically, I’d like to win half and be at .500. We have 20 or 22

games on the schedule. We have some tough stretches on the schedule, but we’ll be ok.” The Knights have two three-game stretches, one in early-to-mid January and

another in late January, where the team won’t leave the friendly confines of Parker Gym. “It’s a good thing, especially since it is later in the season,” Sill said of the

way the schedule worked out. “We’ll go on the road a lot early, hopefully we’ll pull out some wins, and come home and we’ll take over with some more experience.”

Roundup: Indians ready for season opener on Nov. 29 By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatan’s girls basketball team got its final pre-season preparation in on Nov. 20 against West Point at Powhatan High School as the Indians turn their attention to the Goochland Bulldogs and the regular season opener on Nov. 29. “I think it went well,” coach Kristy Henderson said. “We saw some things against West Point that we didn’t see against Amelia. It was good practice for us. There were some things that we need to fine tune and tweak, but I think we’ll be ready for our opener at Goochland.” It was the second and final scrimmage of the preseason for the Indians, following one on the road against Amelia on Nov. 16. “That went pretty well,” Henderson said of the scrimmage against the Raiders. “For the first one, we really looked like a team. We’re still working on the turnovers. I was pleased with that scrimmage. (Against West Point), we had some lulls, but really showed some signs of it’s coming together.” The Indians and Pointers only kept score by quarter and not a running score, but Powhatan certainly showed that it has the players to put points on the scoreboard. While Kylee Maiolo was strong in transition and as a shooter, Maggie Salomonsky was exhibiting her range and ability to score from long range.

INDIANS Continued from pg. 1

Santiago, Washburn, Van Natter and junior guard Jaylen Hempfield are a few players who the Indians coach is pointing to as players to watch this season. “Jaylen and Deven are going to step in and be steady contributors,” Washburn said. “We’re really going to lean on those four to be our main scorers.” Washburn also said that players such as Henry Adkins and Norman Watson would be providing valuable contributions off the bench. “Those guys are starting

“The starting five looked pretty solid,” Henderson said. “That’s Kylee, Maggie, Kelsey (Mawyer), Katie (Henderson) and Ali Anderson. Three of those are seniors. We’ve got great senior leadership coming off the bench.” Perhaps even more importantly than the starters getting key reps in, the bench players also got plenty of time on the floor as well. During those sessions, junior guard Calie Rehme was draining shots from 3-point range practically at will as she ran the court. Sophomore guard Reese Vandell showed poise in transition and moving the ball up the floor as well. Building that depth is a very important aspect to the scrimmages in preparation for the upcoming season, Henderson said. “We were building team chemistry, too,” she said. “We were mixing up the combinations. We got in some foul trouble as well, if it was a real game. So, we had to sub and you see those looks and the girls did a nice job in those situations.” Henderson said that she hopes that the team will be better equipped to handle full-court pressure in time for the season opener. “We just need to be confident in making decisions,” she said. The Indians will face Goochland on Nov. 29, followed by Dinwiddie on Dec. 4, Fluvanna on Dec. 8 and Albemarle on Dec. 11. Of the first five games of the season for Powhatan, to understand their roles more and more,” Washburn said. The scrimmage against the Cavaliers was the second non-Class 4 team that the Indians have faced this pre-season. Prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, Powhatan traveled to Deep Run and saw action against the Wildcats. Seeing these different teams prepares the Indians for what they have coming up this season. “It shows us two different teams, two different styles and two teams who usually have some pretty deep talent,” Washburn said. “The more differences in style and tempos we can

just one, Fluvanna, will be played at home. After the game against the Flucos, Powhatan doesn’t play in its own gym until Jan. 3, 2018, against Clover Hill.

CROSS COUNTRY Powhatan had a lone athlete running at the Nike Cross Nationals Southeast Regional on Nov. 25 in Cary, North Carolina. Cooper Schardt, a freshman member of the Indians cross country team, certainly made his name known among 66 runners competing in the Rising Stars Division. Schardt finished the course in 17:17, five seconds behind ninth and five seconds ahead of 11th. The 17:17 that Schardt ran is a personal record, according to Indians crosscountry co-head coach Paul Smartschan. Schardt competed against runners from Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Smartschan wrote in an email that cross country runners from the Indians program have attended both the Nike meet and the Foot Locker National Regional Meet for the past seven years. “(The Nike and Foot Locker meets) are post-season events with some of the fastest runners on the East Coach,” Smartschan wrote. “Cooper was the only runsee, the better off we’ll be.” Powhatan’s schedule will be a test to say the least to open the season. The Indians traveled to Monacan on Nov. 27 and will travel to Dinwiddie on Nov. 29 before hosting Goochland on Dec. 1, Midlothian on Dec. 4 and Hanover on Dec. 5. “It hits early and often,” Washburn said of the schedule. “I really think our season is consistently one tough game after the next. I think our program is going to benefit from that. We’re going to find out more about ourselves early in the year and we’re going to be able to build upon that as the season goes on.”

Powhatan’s Lindsey Fanz, seen here with parents Jim and Lisa Fanz, announced that she has accepted an academic scholarship and will walk-on to the cross county team at the University of Louisville.

Fanz announces decision, will head to Louisville By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatan senior Lindsey Fanz has had success across several different disciplines for the Indians in her four years in orange and black. In cross country, Fanz qualified for the state meet in each of her four seasons. At the Class 4 state meet this season, Fanz finished 52nd overall in the state and was the 13th best runner from the Region B teams. For indoor track, Fanz has had success as well, such as finishing 10th in the 1000 meters last season. On the same weekend as the region indoor track meet last season, Fanz also competed in the Group 4A state swim meet in the inaugural season of Virginia High School League competition

to bring home a state title. Five wrestlers last season were All-State selections, which was a new Powhatan record. Sam Tomlinson and JD McMillin were both placed at states last season. Jeffrey Hoyt and Ian Oliver also qualified for states and Jacob Marshall and Jacob Moss were state alternates. As a team, the Indians finished fifth in the state. The Indians only lost two wrestlers from last season’s team in Elijah Jordan and John Reid, but both of those wrestlers were longtime contributors to the Indians team as well as the Powhatan wrestling community as a whole. Now, Tanaka said that seniors such as Gerardi, Tomlinson, Hoyt, Oliver and Marshall are taking a leadership role for the younger members of the Indians roster. “We’ve got a lot of new guys in the room, which is awesome,” Tanaka said. “That’s really re-energized our older

for the Indians swim team. Fanz advanced to the finals in the 100 and 200 freestyle, finishing third in the 200 free and fourth in the 100 free. Fanz also competes on the outdoor track team, where she has also success, such as finishing sixth overall in the state in June in the 800 meters. So, when it came to college, Fanz certainly had her choice of sports to participate in. But, running won out for the Indians senior and Fanz will head to the University of Louisville next season on an academic scholarship and will walk on to the running program for the Cardinals. Fanz had a small ceremony in the library at Powhatan High School on Nov. 20 to celebrate the accomplishment.

“It feels awesome,” Fanz said. “I’m so happy to be heading there next year.” Fanz said that a good engineering program was the top factor in finding the perfect place to spend her next four years. “There were definitely other schools I looked at,” she said. “I wanted a good engineering school and a strong running program. One of the other schools I looked at was Johns Hopkins, which is a smaller, Division 3 school, but they still have a very competitive running program.” The Fanz family and Louisville is not unchartered waters at all as Lindsey’s older sister Casey is on the Cardinals swim team. Lindsey said that her sister attending Louisville was certainly a factor in her decision, but wasn’t a defining factor.

guys, which is great too. Last year was an interesting situation, looking back on it. We didn’t really have a lot of depth, but we had a fortunate year where everyone was healthy and peaked at the right time.” Marshall is one wrestler who Tanaka is looking to for a breakout season, coming off a year when he wrestled up a few weight classes. “We’re really excited about Jacob Marshall,” he said. “Last year, he wrestled up at 160 and was seventh in the region. He’s back at 145 this year, his usual class, and looks really good.” Some new faces are wrestlers such as Sean Hall at 106 and Jarrett Tronge at 285, just to name a couple. “We’ve got a bunch of kids who are itching to make their names,” Tanaka said. “It’s been cool to see those guys progress. It’s been cool to see our seniors grow up and bring those kids along at a faster rate.” The Indians will open

their season at the Glen Allen Invitational on Dec. 2, a tournament that Powhatan finished third overall in last season. Tanaka said he hopes to get the season off on the right foot and earn the team title at Glen Allen. It is the first of several invitational tournaments that Powhatan will compete in this season. One invitational, the Big Blue Invitational at Christiansburg High School, is one that Tanaka is looking to as a good measuring stick for where his team is, as the Blue Demons are a perennial power in Class 3. “Our philosophy is to always be better than last year,” Tanaka said. “We’re looking to add some beef to our schedule, to see where we are. It’s going to be in January. So, that tournament, along with the Virginia Duals will be the two big watermarks to see where we’re at.” As with all the other teams, the Indians wrestling team will have to navigate the waters of the

“She was both a major factor and not,” she said. “She was the first reason I started looking at Louisville. She said ‘you have to come here, that’d be so amazing.’ But, I decided not based on where she was. She just became an added bonus.” Fanz admitted that choosing which sport she would participate in was a difficult one. “It was a hard decision I had to make as a sophomore,” she said. “It just came down to I couldn’t keep up with swimming and my academics at the same time. It was just the schedule. I just couldn’t imagine giving up running.” Powhatan co-head cross country coach Paul Smartschan wrote in an email that ever since Fanz participated as an eighth-grader with the cross country team, she’s

been a leader. “She always led by example with her dedication and hard work in practice,” he wrote. “She’s been learning mental and physical strategies that have helped her consistently compete on a high level and it’s been awesome to see her encourage and teach others the knowledge that she’s gained. Her leadership and hard work have really helped strengthen the program.” “It’s always exciting to see a runner like Lindsey continue their running careers at the collegiate level,” co-head coach Bucky Webb wrote in an email. “One of our big goals is to create lifelong runners and lovers of the sport. So, to see so many athletes continue running after high school, either on teams, clubs or just for fun, is awesome for sure.”

As Fanz comes up on the winter sports season, she said that qualifying for the state meet in cross country all four years meant a lot to her. “Starting as a freshman and going with the team was such an exciting experience,” she said. “I knew I wanted to end my high school cross country career in the same way.” Of course, Fanz has a few more sports to try and qualify for more state tournaments. “I really want to attend the indoor track state meet and place this year,” she said. “I was really close last year, so I’d love to do that. I’d love to place again at the outdoor track meet.” Billy Fellin may be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.

said. “Eastern View is one tough test for us. As a whole, the 4A landscape is the same. It changes how we get to states, but our end goal is always going to be the state tournament. Now we know we have these teams in our region, and we need to be in the top for to

make it to states. So, it’s looking at each of the kids individually and seeing what we need to do to get each kid to the state tournament. Once we get there, we’ll let the chips fall where they may.” Billy Fellin may be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com.
