2018 full of potential growth for county By Laura McFarland News Editor
P
OWHATAN – While plans are far from set in stone yet, Powhatan County potentially has some big changes in store for its commercial growth in 2018. Several big construction projects and a number of business expansions are potentially starting or taking place in 2018, demonstrating that interest in development in the county has not slowed down, said Bret Schardein, di-
rector of community development for the county. In the winter, the county often sees a break or slow down in inquiries and projects with commercial development, but that isn’t happening now, he said. Similarly, whereas the county often sees that same lull in the residential permits, they have actually continued pretty steadily. “I think 2018 will continue to be pretty busy as far as new residential and commercial construction and new projects being proposed that the plan-
ning commission and board will consider,” he said. Some of the larger projects have already garnered a great deal of attention because of their potential impact on the county. But there are also several businesses that are also a potential for growth because of their plans for expansion, he said.
Apartment building A recently proposed project that has garnered a good bit of attention in
recent months is a plan to locate an apartment complex, known as The Reserve at South Creek, on about 26 acres of land at the crossroad of Old Church Road and Carter Gallier Boulevard. The project includes plans for 228 units of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments built in two phases. It also proposes 30,000 square feet in commercial/office space, making it a mixed use development. A neighborhood meeting held on Nov. 28, 2017, drew about 70 people, see DEVELOPMENT, pg. 8 }

Youth-enrichment troops focus on faith By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Two new faith faith-based youth enrichment organizations are flourishing several months after chartering in Powhatan County. American Heritage Girls Troop VA-0356 and Trail Life USA Troop VA-0356 were formed at Red Lane Baptist Church in Sep-
tember by Chris and Stephanie Mullikin, who liked the faithbased programs for their children but were tired of driving to Midlothian to get it. The organizations’ respective websites describe American Heritage Girls as a national character development organization for girls ages 5 to 18 that embraces Christian values and encourages family involvement and Trail Life USA as
a Christ-centered outdoor adventure, leadership, and character development ministry for boys 5 to 17. The two national groups, which entered into a formal alliance in 2015, offer alternative programs to Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of the United States. American Heritage Girls program emphasizes life skill en-

Richmond Symphony returns to Powhatan for third concert By Laura McFarland
DELIVER TO: Postal Patron Powhatan, VA 23139
News Editor
POWHATAN – The Richmond Symphony Orchestra is returning to Powhatan and it is bringing with it a concert that has a little something for the whole family, including a big nod to the silver screen. For its third straight year performing a concert benefiting the Powhatan Education Foundation (PEF), the symphony will sport a new matinee time and highlight music with a broad range of appeal, including a nice selection of songs featured in classic and more recent movie favorites. The earlier time and cinematic influence are meant to stimulate the multigenerational draw of the concert, said Cindy Harris, one of the local coordinators. The concert will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 28 at Powhatan High School, 1800 Judes Ferry Road. General admission tickets are $25. A $50 VIP ticket includes preferred reserved seating and a pre-concert reception in the PHS Library starting at 1:30 p.m. with refreshments, performances by PHS musicians and an opportunity to mingle with RSO musicians. The symphony concert saw increased success in its second year by including music from “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Frozen,” and organizers want to build on that success, Harris said. So when she heard the symphony was performing a concert in February featuring music from “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” she mentioned tying it in and David Fisk, the symphony’s administrative director, suggested doing a “teaser.” This year’s program highlights will include music from classical to Hollywood, said Chia-Hsuan Lin, associate conductor

Democratic committee to hold reorganization meeting Contributed R eport The Powhatan County Democratic Committee will dissolve and reorganize per the Democratic Party of Virginia guidelines at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 20 at Powhatan County Public Library, 2270 Mann Road. The dissolution and reorganization is in line with the guidelines, per Section 8.1, which says that “Every two years, as required by the Party Plan, new City and County committees are elected or reorganized … of even numbered years. This is an opportunity for you and your committee to broaden your base and to include new members. Those of you who have been involved in local committees for a long time know that reorganization sounds much worse than it really is. Put simply, reorganization is a caucus held for the purpose of electing members to the Democratic committee.” What does that mean for Powhatan democrats? This is one of the most important processes the committee will undertake this year. It is an opportunity to have your democratic voice heard and help set the direction of the Powhatan County Democratic Committee for the next two years. Everyone in attendance at the caucus must fill out a form stating that they are democrats and are registered voters in Powhatan County. Members who have completed an application, online or at the caucus on Jan. 20 will then
be voted into the committee and can then vote for its officers. Doors will close at 3 p.m. Anyone interested in a leadership role on the committee must fill out an application for candidacy form for the position of chair, vice chair, secretary, treasurer and District 7 representative. Candidates for these positions can apply online and fill out a brief bio introducing themselves to the membership. This application process will close at midnight on Saturday, Jan. 13. At the caucus all candidates will have three to five minutes to introduce themselves and explain their vision of how their leadership will contribute to the future of our committee. The application form also allows you to indicate your desire to work on various subcommittees and teams. While the caucus is open to all democrats in Powhatan County, only members of the Powhatan County Democratic Committee will be permitted to vote for officers. Detailed explanations of the process and schedule, as well as all information and applications will be posted to the group’s website, www.powhatandemocrats.org/reorganization. Your involvement is essential! Members want their committee to reflect the wishes of its democratic members, but they can only do this with the input of Powhatan Democrats.

Light snow still causes closings, delays in Powhatan By Laura McFarland N ew s Editor
P
OWHATAN – Powhatan was on the outer edge of a nor’easter that ravaged the East Coast last week, but a relatively light snow fall combined with frigid weather and icy conditions were still enough to cause closures and delays into the start of this week. Curt Nellis, emergency management coordinator, said things had been reasonably quiet for emergency services later in the week after the Jan. 4 snowfall, with mostly minor accidents nts and a structure fire on Three Bridge Road. The official weather report for Powhatan an was 1 inch of snow, he said. However, people le in various parts of the county reporting their ir final count on Facebook said they got anyywhere from ¼ inch to 1.5 inches, depending g on where they live in Powhatan. “The December snow was a lot worse. The snow is different this time. This is a very dry powdery snow. It didn’t stick to trees and power lines like the one in December did. We have had no reports of power outages with Dominion or Southside Electric,” Nellis said. “With the exception of some slick ick conditions on the road, this has been a pretty etty easy situation to deal with.” Nellis said that from 6 p.m. on Jan. 3 through 6 p.m. on Jan. 4, emergency services responded to five disabled vehicles, 12 motor vehicle accidents, one motor vehicle accident with a deer and one motor vehicle accident with injuries. These numbers of incidents were not excessive for a winter event and did not stress the system, he added. Emergency services was able to meet all of its calls for service. “People heeded the warning and stayed in their houses unless they had to go out. We have had a few incidents of people going into ditches but it has been relatively quiet overnight,” he said. After the initial snow day on Jan. 4, one big concern was the refreezing of any snow that had melted causing icy conditions, which is its own hazard as people get a sense of security and think it is safer than it really is to go out, Nellis said. “Refreezing occurred as expected but it has not caused additional calls for service beyond our normal daily call volume,” he said on Jan. 5. By Jan. 5, neighborhood streets were still snow and ice packed, secondary roads were in good shape, and main roads are clear and dry, Nellis said. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) reported early on Jan. 5 that crews had cleared most of the snow and ice off of the interstates and primary routes (those numbered 1-599) following the Jan. 4 storm. Focus had shifted to secondary routes (numbered 600 and above), where crews worked on snow removal operations, including plowing where possible and treating snow and ice pack with salt and sand. Ice pack persisted, especially on secondary roads and neighborhood streets, over the weekend as temperatures did not rise above freezing. The snow and icy conditions saw Powhatan County Public Schools closing on Jan. 4 and 5 because of snow and subsequent icy conditions and starting off the week closed for students on Jan. 8 and 12-month employees coming in on a two-hour delay. County offices were closed Jan. 4 but had a delayed opening on Jan. 5. Conditions worsened the farther east you looked. On Jan. 4 and the first eight hours of Jan. 5, State Police Troopers assigned to Chesapeake and Richmond Divisions responded to 437 traffic crashes and aided 592 drivers with disabled/stuck vehicles, according to a release from the state police.

Pack/Troop 1823 hold Christmas dinner and Court of Honor

Contributed Report
O
n Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2017, Troop 1823 and Pack 1823 of Powhatan United Methodist Church held their annual holiday celebrations for Scouts, their families, and special guests. This year’s event was slightly different and special for a couple of reasons, the first being the Pack and Troop Committees decided to combine their holiday activities into one event, a celebration Christmas dinner and Court of Honor. The Court of Honor is an event where the Boy Scouts are honored with awards and recognized for their completion of activities and services. This particular Court of Honor was a bit more special as Troop 1823 Scoutmaster Mike Sobczak recognized Boy Scout Cole VanDerwerker for earning the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest rank a Scout can achieve. As Cubmaster for Pack 1823, Chip Wyatt said he thought it was terrific for the young Cub Scouts (kindergarten to fifth grade) to see this recognition as it shows that even within their small scouting family great things can be achieved through dedication and working toward their goals. There were multiple special guests in attendance at the Christ-

mas Dinner and Court of Honor. Pat Breedlove Collins was, and is always, invited to many of the activities of Pack and Troop 1823. She is regularly found at holiday celebrations, the Blue and Gold Banquet (anniversary celebration of Boy Scouts), and also the annual Pinewood Derby. Her presence is very special as her husband Bucky and she spent many years on the forefront of Scouting in Powhatan, as together they started Pack 823 (now 1823) in 1975. The Sullivan family of Powhatan, Sean, Melissa, and their children, also were invited and attended. Throughout the fall there was an ongoing message for all fundraising efforts for Pack and Troop 1823. In September at the very first committee meetings held, it was suggested, discussed, and approved by both Pack and Troop Committees that a percentage of all fundraising efforts would be donated to the Sullivan family, whose son had been injured over the summer in an at-home accident and was in need of multiple medical procedures. However, it wouldn’t be until the day before the event that a connection with the family was finally able to be made and they were going to be able to attend. That was surely a relief as there were other plans being set into motion that the

group’s final and late arriving special guests were bringing. Over the course of the evening it was great to see the interactions of the Sullivan children playing with the Cub Scouts during free time and great conversation was had with Sean Sullivan regarding his experiences, including being heavily involved in scouting as a youth and having become an Eagle Scout himself. The big jolly guy himself Mr. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus were the final special guests to appear late in the evening, bringing with them joy and cheer to spread for all, as well as some special gifts for the Cub Scouts and the Sullivan family children. Everyone young and old alike were able to spend time with Mr. and Mrs. Claus listening to a story, singing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, and taking photos. Pinewood Derby cars were gifted, and for the Sullivan family that meant one more surprise. Another invitation was extended for the Sullivan family to attend the Pack/Troop 1823 Pinewood Derby so they could race against the Scouts, siblings, and leaders participating. It was a great event and really sent forth the scouting families with the holiday spirit to return home for a joyous and giving holiday season; and now with Pinewood Derby cars to build, too!

SYMPHONY Continued from pg. 1
Lin was the composer for the symphony’s 2017 concert in Powhatan and said she was overwhelmed not only by the warmth and encouragement from the audience but by the clear love of music from student ensembles, which were performing in the hall and library. “We walk in and there are students playing and they are so excited to share their music with colleagues,” she said. “I was so touched and impressed with the talent there and so touched with the community. That is just a little setup, but it just shows how much they care about music, and for me that is really precious and touching.” Lin added that she is really excited to come back to Powhatan this year. It may only be her second concert here but she said that she already feels like the symphony has to be there to share that precious moment and bring this music. “We always try to create more opportunities to share music. Music is not a privilege; it is something that we all share
and we all enjoy doing,” Lin said. “To and music education programs. share that possibility, to share that opporPartnering with the symphony for the tunity with the community, for us, is very concerts the last two years has been eximportant.

hancement, social development, girl leadership, developing teamwork and building confidence, spiritual development and character development. They have the opportunity to earn badges from six “frontiers,” which are aimed at offering a well-rounded program: heritage, personal well-being, family living, the arts, science and technology and outdoor skills. Trail Life USA similarly has six program emphases: wisdom, heritage, teamwork, leadership, character, and faith. It also has its own badge system that allows boys to move up in the ranks with age and experience. The local troops meet simultaneously on Tuesday nights at Red Lane, which allows them to
share certain resources, such as childcare for younger siblings so parents can be involved with the troops. They are also both divided up into different age groups to work on age-appropriate tasks and activities.
Learning curve The first few months of chartering the new troops in Powhatan involved a big learning curve, especially since more families than expected wanted to join the groups, said Chris Mullikin, charter organization representative for Trail Life. Currently, there are 28 girls in American Heritage Girls and 27 boys in Trail Life, which is a few less than the two troops started with in September. “We definitely had a calendar of events lead-
Help Feed Hungry Kids in Powhatan
“Powhatan County Public Schools has a number of important community partners, but none are more important than Backpacks of Love. By providing food on the weekends for our students in need, Backpacks of Love is meeting a basic need that is a precursor for effective learning. Without their support, hundreds of students would not get enough to eat on weekends and would show up to school on Monday hungry and unable to focus on their educational needs.” —Dr. Eric Jones, Superintendent, Powhatan County Schools

Backpacks of Love is a local nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger for children in Powhatan, Va. The organization works with school staff to identify children in need and discretely places a bag of food in their backpack for the weekend.
ing into September through December, but there is so much work in getting an organization started and off the ground. To be quite up front, we weren’t prepared to have as many as we did, which is a blessing in and of itself,” Chris Mullikin said. His wife Stephanie Mullikin, who is the local American Heritage Girls troop coordinator, said the organizers have learned a great deal in the last few months. Prior to starting the Powhatan troops, she served as an American Heritage Girls unit leader when her daughter, Cassie, who is now 7, joined. The Mullikins’ 5-year-old son Evan is now also a member of Trail Life. Being on the board setting up the troops is more about planning, trying to recruit volunteers and make sure paperwork is together, so it is a much different pace, she said. “I think the difference between September and now is we kind of have our act together a little more than we did then. I think next year compared to this year will be a breeze. It’s a lot of work,” she said. “When we first started out, I was probably working on stuff for 20 to 30 hours a week trying to get everything together. Now it is a bit more relaxed and a bit more fun because I can focus more on going around and helping where needed instead of do we have enough volunteers.” The two troops consist mainly of families from Powhatan, Cumberland and Amelia counties, many of whom were grateful to have a trooper closer than Midlothian they could join, she said.
Matching convictions James Taylor, senior
pastor of Red Lane Baptist Church, said the Mullikins approached him last spring about starting the troops and he and the elders of the church made the decision to move in that direction. “Some of the families were actually involved in Trail Life or American Heritage Girls but there are only a few charters in the Richmond metro area so they were driving 45 minutes to Mechanicsville,” Taylor said. “We are able to provide a venue for them that is much closer and much more conducive to family life.” Taylor said they recognized there were many families interested in scouting but they wanted an organization that matched their convictions and values as Christians. Red Lane formerly hosted Cub Scout Pack 1838 and Boy Scout Troop 1838, but the church voted in November 2013 to sever ties with the Boy Scouts of America and subsequently the local troops following a decision that summer by national BSA leaders to admit openly gay youth as members. The local troops moved to Powhatan Community Church after a reportedly amicable split. Trail Life USA was announced in 2013 after BSA’s announcement and officially started in 2014.
The right fit Taylor, who is the chaplain for Trail Life, said his two daughters, Hailey, 8, and Hannah, 5, are in American Heritage Girls. He added they are having a good time with activities like the meetings, camping and service projects such as participating in Wreaths Across Ameri-
ca, where they put wreaths on graves at the Virginia Veterans Cemetery at Amelia. Stephanie Mullikin said that when Cassie first started in American Heritage Girls, they were a new homeschooling family looking for something that would allow her to be around children her own age. Having her daughter participate in regular service projects was actually a big draw for her. “That doesn’t come naturally, wanting to help other people. That is definitely something that needs to be taught,” she said. “I think that is something I love the most about it is getting those opportunities to go out and serve others and have her learn it is good to help other people and it makes you feel good.” The service projects often combine the efforts of both local troops, Chris Mullikin said. Recently, the troop members packed 99 boxes for Operation Christmas Child and did a nursing home visit for Christmas. Both troops were in the Powhatan Labor Day Parade and had also planned to participate in the Christmas Parade before it was snowed out. Each group also provides a wide variety of activities just aimed at letting the children have fun and maybe learn some new skills, he said. Some of the activities Trail Life has done or plans to do are camping, fishing excursions, and derby races. Allison Herbert of Powhatan said her two oldest children, Katherine, 8, and Tommy, 6, loving being in American Heritage Girls and Trail Life, respectively, and she and her husband plan to have their younger two children join
when they are older. The couple wanted to have their children “develop friendships with other children in a Christian environment where they could learn skills and be challenged in a group setting that couldn’t be done at home.” Mother and daughter were involved in an American Heritage Girls troop in Midlothian last year but joined the Powhatan troop when it started to be closer to home. Her husband and son are new to the Trail life program this year. “This location is closer for me but I am taking on more responsibilities. In that regard it is more difficult but it is worth it. We have met people in Powhatan. We are developing friendships that we didn’t know before and getting involved in our own community, which is nice,” she said. Herbert said that forming the troops has taken many people needing to be willing to step up and help but that most people are really trying their best to help out. Stephanie Mullikin emphasized that neither of the troops are a child drop-off program. “We want the parents to be involved. We need the volunteers. We need all hands on deck. Many hands make light work,” she said. For more information on the national organizations, visit www.traillifeusa.com or www. americanheritagegirls. org.

2018 brings with it hope for a fresh start By Laura McFarland News Editor
I
am not going to lie – 2017 was hard. Not to be too cliché, but, like so many other people, the end of one year and the beginning of a new one does often bring out both the introspection and desire to do better for me. This year was no exception. We ran the top 10 stories of the year in Powhatan in the Dec. 27, 2017, edition of the Powhatan Today, but between vacations, holidays and working around those, I didn’t really have time to just stop and think about how 2017 was for me personally until I was in North Carolina to ring in the New Year with some friends. The two lovely women I spent the first moments of 2018 with are part of a core group of friends that talk regularly to offer support, feedback and all the other stuff that comes with good friends. We share our ups and downs, the silly moments, interesting stuff we see online, things in our life that frustrate us, etc. In talking with these two friends, the subject naturally turned to 2017 because, on whole, it was an ex-
New year, new Trump? A nice idea Richmond Suburban News
was the night before New Year’s and all through the house, not a person was stirring, not me or my spouse. The past year was ending, we weren’t upset, in fact it was one we would rather forget. There were natural disasters, and ones wrought by man, we’d suffered through #metoo and Trump’s travel ban. We had gone to bed hoping 2018 would bring calm, or at least Kim Jong Un wouldn’t resort to the bomb. We had finally dozed off, not a sound in the room, when suddenly from outside came a thunderous BOOM. What I saw in my yard to my throat brought a lump, ’twas a huge golden sleigh being driven by Trump. “Mr. President,” I said, “how’d you get through my gate?” “I crashed it,” he said, “but I’ll soon make it great.” He said he was there to bring jobs, growth and wealth, To make better our lives, and our schools and our health. I couldn’t quite argue — it all sounded good, though his sleigh knocked my mailbox clear into the woods. “Mr. President,” I said, “I am really quite mad, you’ve done some good things, but plenty of bad. “You offend people daily and whine like you’re three, your campaign looked like WWE. “Now I get that you wanted to help and all that, but you’ve squashed my azaleas and maybe my cat.” He agreed he’d been boorish and the tweeting was strange, and I have to admit my mind started to change. He seemed nicer in person, he helped find my cat, He insulted my husband but gave him a hat. He offered a tax cut I couldn’t refuse, I asked about Russia, he called it “fake news.” I decided that Trump was much worse on TV, but I can’t say we’re buddies — he’s just not for me. He said his goodbyes and he boarded his sleigh, then he touched up his hair and took off straight away. I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight, “Covfefe for all, and to all a good night!”
Solving problems that don’t exist a waste of money Disclaimer: I am a member of the Planning Commission and the sentiments expressed in this letter reflect my views and not necessarily those of my commission colleagues and certainly not some members of the board of supervisors. There has been much discussion about housing affordability in Powhatan and the need for “Workforce Housing” - whatever that means. The planning commission addressed the issue of housing affordability head on in the Comprehensive Plan update that they recently approved (12/2017) and sent to the board of supervisors. If you review the housing section of this document (on the county website) you will find real data not spin, not supposition. A review of home sales in Powhatan for years 2015 and 2016 reveals that 27.6 percent of the homes that were sold were less than $200,000. By any definition in the metro area this is an impressive stock of what is defined as affordable housing. Does this mean that everyone can afford a house – no, but that has never been the case. Those that would have you believe that housing is not affordable in our county quickly denigrate this 27.6 percent as old and somehow not fit to live in – an elitist point of view with nothing to support their conclusion. My first three houses were older (over 30 years old) and some needed more work than others. I loved them, was proud of them

and the “sweat equity” that made them better. So do you have to buy a house to live in Powhatan – no, 12.7 percent of our housing stock (+10,000 units) is rental (census data). We have affordable housing in Powhatan and there are ample rental options available. The second “talking point” of the housing affordability deniers focuses on the starting salary of a deputy sheriff ($37,044)* and a new teacher ($42,840)*. (*Source – McFarland Op/Ed 12/13/2017) Their point is that critical members of our community cannot afford to live in Powhatan. The reality of today’s life is that two party (or more) incomes are the norm and this significantly changes the income number. What about single individuals? They do what they have always done forever – they have roommates (multiple incomes). These salary numbers are just that - numbers- and do not tell you anything about housing affordability because they do not represent household incomes and the buying/renting power of multiple income households. The board of supervisors has decided that “Housing Diversity” is one of their priorities. So, let the discussion about apartments, subsidized apartments, clustered town houses go forward. But housing affordability is not a reason or an answer for these projects to go forward. This community has challenges, needs and finite resources spending time solving problems which do not exist is a serious waste of the county’s resources and our community’s tax dollars.

derfully when you fly and the sky is overcast. Sometimes you forget that just beyond the clouds the sun is shining.” Realistically, it’s only a hope that things will be better this year; there are obviously no guarantees in life. And while the start of a New Year did prompt me to set some personal goals aimed at taking steps toward changes I want to make, they were made with the understanding that there is always the possibility that unforeseen events could scuttle those plans. But I also know that if we let the possibility of unforeseen events dictate our lives, we will never move forward. I, for one, want to keep moving forward. So, while my friend Rachel does not have the years or experience of Archbishop Tutu, I am still going to end by echoing her thought on the start of 2018: “I am so done with 2017. It's finished. Today is fresh and there's a whole bright shiny new year waiting before us. And I for one am ready to march into it with determination. I have goals, I have dreams, and, most of all, I am going to be true to myself. So get ready for Crush It 2018.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Dear Editor,

tremely hard year for the group. The year included the deaths of close family members, major health problems either with us or major family members, divorce, almost homelessness, sick children and all that comes with that, money struggles, work struggles, and the stress of a massive hurricane and flooding endangering so many people I love. We talked about the arrival of 2018 not in terms of setting an obscure resolution to lose weight or be more assertive or reduce stress in our lives but as the absolute need to have some kind of fresh start or dividing line, if you will, between what we experienced in 2017 and what we hope for with the start of a new year. I would imagine some of our readers who experienced a similarly difficult year in 2017 may be feeling the same way, even if you have doubts about the part on having hopefulness for 2018. Several years ago, I read a New York Times Magazine interview with South African cleric and Nobel Peace Prize awardee Desmond Tutu where he said something that really spoke to how I want to approach this kind of situation: “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. You see it won-

Powhatan Today, January 10, 2018

DEVELOPMENT Continued from pg. 1
and everyone who spoke at the meeting either raised concerns or outright opposed the project. KCG Development is still going ahead with the plans, and Schardein said he tentatively expects the request to rezone the land in question from Heavy Industrial to Village Center Planned Development to be heard at the February meeting of the Powhatan County Planning Commission. However, that meeting has not been set yet and the developer’s application is still out for review with other agencies involved in the process, he added. Andrew Pompei, Planner II, said the main revision made from the developer’s previous presentation is in reference to the commercial space. Instead of one 30,000-square-foot commercial building on the corner of Carter Gallier Boulevard and Old Church Road, the developer proposed “four smaller buildings oriented around what they are calling the Village Green.” “I think that was an attempt to make it more of a village as opposed to a conventional, suburban style development. He didn’t change the number of units or the residential component very much,” Pompei said. Some of the potential uses for those spaces listed in the developer’s most recent application to the county are professional offices, nonprofit recreation facility, medical or dental clinic, conference or training center, arts, crafts, music, dance, photography or martial arts studio / school, farmer’s market or other retail establishment.
Stoneridge Although construction began in 2017 on the large commercial development at the intersection of Anderson Highway and Luck Stone Road known as Stoneridge, the project has a long way to go. Visible progress has been made on the first business to go into Stoneridge, a new building for New Horizon Bank that bank officials said last year they hoped to have open in April or May. County staff is officially reviewing plans for the next potential business to go into the development, a Burger King that would be located at the corner of Anderson Highway and Luck Stone Road. Schardein pointed out that the lot the bank and proposed fast food chain restau-
rant would sit on are zoned Residential Commercial, and both of those types of businesses are allowed as by right uses. Other parcels in Stoneridge are a mix of Residential Commercial (R-C), Mining (M) and Agricultural 10 (A-10) and the developer would most likely request a rezoning to Commerce Center (CC).

Progress has been made on New Horizon Bank’s new building at Stoneridge and now Burger King has applied to open a location there.
Hotel/motel The issue of whether a hotel or motel goes in near the corner of Anderson Highway (Route 60) and Maidens Road might not be as up in the air as people think. A request to rezone the land sitting next to Chubby’s Gas Station by Powhatan Business Inc. has been deferred by the applicant until the March planning commission, Schardein said. The applicants are seeking to rezone from General Commercial (C) to Commerce Center (CC). He said the applicants are seeking to rezone the property to Commerce Center “because that zone district has more relaxed side yard setbacks, so they would have a little more flexibility in pushing the building back, giving them more room in how they lay that building out.” However, hotels and motels are both considered allowable as principal uses by right in the General Commercial district, subject to compliance with any referenced use-specific standards and all other applicable regulations. So, if the applicant could work with the existing setbacks, a hotel or motel would only have to go through the normal site plan and building permit process, he said.

“With by right use through the site plan and building permit process, it would be reviewed by county staff for our zoning and building code requirements. It would be reviewed by agencies like (the Virginia Department of Transportation), the Department of Environmental Quality, the health department for their requirements. But assuming it meets all of those requirements, ordinances and statutes, it is something that would be automatically approved,” Schardein said.
Last summer, a consultant gave a detailed presentation to county staff and local business owners/employees about the need to focus its resources and attention on the retention and expansion of existing businesses in Powhatan County to see steady, healthy growth in the local economy. “In a study we have done of the county we agree that business retention and expansion and focusing more efforts on our existing business community is probably our greatest strength and where we will see the most increase as far as new construction, helping people grow, keeping people here in Powhatan,” Schardein said. Over the summer, county staff met with roughly the top 30 employers in the county and “just through that we uncovered a number of people with plans to potentially expand that otherwise we probably wouldn’t have been aware of. If we know about that we can potentially proactively help them and give them resources to do that,” he said. A number of local businesses are already making plans for expansion in 2018. A few are in the earlier stages of their plans but some of the ones with plans that are further along are: In June 2017, Blue and Gray Self Storage was approved for a conditional use permit (CUP) to permit an expansion of the existing self-storage facility. Work should begin on that project shortly, although Schardein said he doubted much of the work would be visible on Anderson Highway. Colony Construction, which offers asphalt road building and maintenance, currently has office space on Anderson Highway, an equipment shop on another property and an asphalt plant and shop on its 12-acre property on South Creek One, Schardein said. The company has applied to rezone 18 acres it recently acquired adjacent to its asphalt plant from General Commercial (C) to Heavy Industrial (I-2) for a few projects it has. “That will be some industrial development we haven’t seen much of here recently in the industrial park. That will go through the rezoning process. We are working with them right now to schedule a neighborhood meeting, but we don’t have a date for that yet,” Schardein said. Scott Claud, president of Colony Construction Inc., said the first phase of the project is to expand the shop where maintenance is done on the trucks. They are still deciding on size but it will have several more bays and hopefully will be done by the end of 2018. Looking further out, the second phase of acquiring the new property is to build a new office space and employee parking, which early projections put by mid 2020, he said. This will put most of their operation in one expanded location. Claud pointed out that when Colony Construction started out in March 2008,

it had 50 full-time employees. “This year we have 135 full-time employees. That is how much growth we have had through the recession, which we are all proud of because it was not a good time when we built the plant,” he said. Independence Golf Club, which is working to brand itself more as just Independence to show it is about more than golf, is both working on and actively looking for collaborations with other businesses and groups that will allow it to expand the offerings at the property in northeastern Powhatan County, Giff Breed, president, said. Independence sits on 260 acres, most of it in Powhatan with about 17 acres in Chesterfield, he said. Independence has already partnered with other businesses to bring offerings such as laser tag and paint ball, a music school and an art studio, all with their own designated spaces on the property. “We look at ourselves as an experiential entertainment center. We are constantly looking to add partners that can take advantage of what Powhatan County and this area has to offer,” he said. Some of the projects Independence is looking to bring to the property include a hotel or inn, condo units, commercial real estate space, a more formal dining restaurant, and other activities such as skeet shooting and batting cages. Breed said he wants to move fast on getting new projects in, but only if he can partner with people who have the expertise to help make them successful ventures. “The big take away from us is we want to try to have at least five projects in 2018 that we didn’t have in 2017 that are revenue generating for our business,” he said.
Repurposing In addition to new construction, Schardein pointed out the recent and upcoming cases the county has seen regarding using existing spaces. At the board of supervisors’ meeting on Nov. 27, 2017, the board members voted 4-1 in favor of approving a CUP for Ashley and Robert Welch to operate a conference or training center on their property along Anderson Highway they will call Lakeside at Welch Estate. At its Dec. 18, 2017, meeting, the board unanimously approved a CUP to permit Three Crosses Distilling Company LLC, a micro-distillery, to open inside the former location of the Complete Picture in the Village area. Hatcher’s Plantation, located on Goodwyn Road, recently submitted an application for a CUP to run a historical event venue for weddings/receptions on the property. The application is still under review by other agencies but Schardein said it could potentially be heard by the planning commission in February. Powhatan’s Economic Development Authority signed a lease with Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan to use the old fire station on Urbine Road as Habitat’s office and for the occasional sale of materials though a Re-Store. Habitat will be making substantial repairs and upgrades to the structure. The EDA has applied to rezone the property to Commerce Center (CC) to facilitate the use. A neighborhood meeting has been scheduled from 5 to 6 p.m. on Monday , Jan. 29 at the new Huguenot Volunteer Fire Dept on Urbine Road. The request will likely go before the planning commission in March for public hearing. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Overcoming child abuse inspires young adult fantasy book Contributed Report
A
victim of child abuse and domestic violence, Powhatan County resident Brian A. Griffen spent many frustrated nights as a boy asking God, “Are you there? Are you listening?� “I was trapped in that mobile home. I had no hope of escaping this cycle. All I could do is pray,� he said. At age 13, Griffen was finally able to escape his cycle of abuse. Soon after, he believes that he had a religious experience with God. He recalls, “I was a new person emotionally and spiritually but I harbored
so much hatred. That was when this force called ‘grace’ empowered me to forgive.� Griffen teaches religious studies at Trinity Episcopal School, an independent school in Richmond.

food drives in December. Powhatan Senior FFA brought the high school together for a fun school-wide competition providing doughnuts for canned food. They also collaborated with the special education department at PHS to collect cans at the end of each day. They delivered 767 pounds and 10 boxes of fruit to the pantry. Powhatan Junior FFA collected 270 nonperishable items through a “Big Buck Contest� during first block classes at the middle school. The entry fee for the contest was five canned foods per participant. Mrs. Fillman’s
first block class won with 49 items donated for the prize of Krispy Kreme donuts. In mid December, youth and adults helped collect the food from various sites in the county and then delivered them to the Powhatan Food Pantry. Since some of the folks who delivered food had never visited the new location, Jim Tubbs of the pantry gave them a tour of the facility and they stocked shelves with the items they brought. Timberlake added, “We thank the farmers who have been feeding us for hundreds of years and especially the community who donated at this very special time of the year.�

Benjamin gathers allies along the way like Othniel “Wayfarer,� a wily prophet skilled in ether (eh-ther) magic, and Ashira Keros, a feisty palace cook. Griffen says, “This story is a blend of my imagination, my convictions, and my struggle to overcome child abuse and domestic violence.� He hopes that the action and adventure within “Rise of the Remnant� will entertain readers, but he also hopes to inspire them in their own spiritual journeys to overcome the most
hopeless of circumstances. Griffen is one of several local authors who will participate in A Writers Roundup, which will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Jan. 27 at Powhatan County Public Library.

Powhatan’s J.D. McMillin grapples with his opponent from Kellam on Dec. 30 at Hanover High School during the Hawk Duals. McMillin would pin his opponent in the match and had a tough match against Atlee during a tri-meet with the Indians on Jan. 3.
Powhatan gains valuable mat time in tri-meet By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
P
owhatan’s wrestling team went against two teams on Jan. 3 well above the Indians classification. The Indians took on Atlee, a Class 5 school and Cosby, a Class 6, in a trimatch and had two solid matches. Powhatan defeated the Titans 42-32,
but fell to Atlee 36-33. “The meet went well,” Indians head coach Jonathan Tanaka said. “Cosby is always a solid team. It was good to get a win over there. We had some nice little matchups. It was a good tri-meet, we do it every year. They’re two very good teams to measure up against. It’s a fun little rivalry. Some of the Cosby kids came through Blackhawk and some of our kids train with the Atlee kids in the offseason.”
The matchups with Atlee were unusual, as each team had forfeits due to not having wrestlers for each weight class. “We had kids where they didn’t and they had kids where we didn’t,” Tanaka said. One key matchup that Powhatan really focused in on was J.D. McMillin taking on last season’s state runner-up in Group 5A, Evan Buchanan. McMillin wrestled up a weight class
to take on Buchanan. “He’s a good wrestler,” Tanaka said of Buchanan. “It really prepared J.D. for the state tournament. We were really glad to get that matchup in.” The Indians could have moved around the wrestlers in some weight classes so that they could have won the dual against the Raiders, but Tanaka said that wasn’t important to them. see WRESTLE, pg. 3B}
Rescheduling games due to weather not an easy feat By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s Kylee Maiolo (right) and Calie Rehme (left) and the rest of the Indians girls basketball team had their Jan. 5 game rescheduled.
As the snow descended upon the area on Jan. 3, the prospects of high school games being played on the ensuing days looked bleaker and bleaker. When school was closed on Jan. 4-5, the games scheduled to be played by Powhatan and Blessed Sacrament Huguenot disappeared as quickly as the grass underneath the fallen snow. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot rescheduled the games on Jan. 3 to Jan. 25 and canceled the games and meets scheduled for Jan. 4-5. Powhatan was able to get its girls basketball game against Clover Hill on Jan. 3 in, but the games after that were not as lucky. The rescheduling of the games following weather-related postponements
can be as tricky as predicting the weather itself. Indians athletic director Tim Llewellyn said that it is all a process of communicating with the athletic director of the school they were scheduled to play that night. In the case of the postponed girls basketball on Jan. 5, it was Charlottesville High School. “First thing, we try not to have more than three games in a week,” Llewellyn said. “I get with the athletic director and try to find a day that’s mutually beneficial as soon as we can. With Charlottesville, we play three games next week and Charlottesville had three games the week after that.” Powhatan’s girls basketball team will face the Black Knights on Jan. 24. The Indians swim team was scheduled see SNOW, pg. 4B}

The Blackhawk Gym youth wrestling team poses at the Bristol Brawl on Jan. 7. Blackhawk had seven wrestlers place in their division, with one wrestler earning his first two wins ever in his wrestling career.
Blackhawk has strong showing at Bristol Brawl By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
I
t’s almost a five-hour drive to Tennessee from Powhatan, but the Blackhawk Gym youth wrestling team hit the road for the Bristol Brawl on Jan. 6-7. The tournament featured around 550 wrestlers and Blackhawk brought 12 wrestlers to compete against the field. Of those 12 wrestlers, seven Blackhawk wrestlers finished among the top wrestlers in their bracket, with Gavin Utley winning a title in the Junior 80 class. “Things went well,” Blackhawk coach Zach Olsen said. “The kids wrestled nice and tough. It’s always good to get different competition as opposed to being in Virginia all the time. We had a good day and the kids fought well.” Utley began his championship run against Felix Duncan of Little Toppers and won that match by technical fall 16-1. Then, he defeated Parker Mould, also from Little Toppers, by a major decision 11-2. He followed that up by taking down Cooper Parlier of Alleghany Wrestling
Club in the semifinals by a 3-1 decision. In the championship match, he faced Vance Neal of the Beckley Jr. Eagles and won the title with a 4-2 decision. Ultey had some inspiration on his wrestling shoes as he included Mike Walter’s End of Watch date. Andrew Cheatham finished fourth in the Middle School 138 division and started off strong with a pin of Izaak Keith of Bears Wrestling in just 36 seconds. But, Cheatham fell by a 9-0 major decision in his next match and was sent down to the consolation bracket. Cheatham went on a roll after that, defeating Carson Deel of Grundy Wrestling Club by a 5-3 decision. Then, he pinned David Treece of Little Toppers in just 33 seconds. Cheatham followed that up with a pin in just 36 seconds of Jacob Scott of Renegade Wrestling Club. His run ended after that, falling in the thirdplace match by an 11-0 major decision. Utley and teammate Talon Harness each competed in the Middle School 80 division, with Harness defeating Utley in the
third-place match by sudden victory. Both wrestlers fell in the semifinals of the winner’s bracket before advancing to the thirdplace match. In the Tot 50 division, Jude Gilman finished second overall. He defeated Ian Blevins of Tribal Takedown in a 17-4 major decision and then won by injury over Sylar Ruefer. Landen Wilburn finished fourth in the Junior 132 division. He fell by pin in his first match, but rebounded with an 11-5 decision in his second match and a pin in 29 seconds in his third match. Tucker Utley finished fourth in the Midget 55 division, falling by pin in 1:55 in the third-place match. Britton Profitt fell in his second match of the consolation bracket in the Middle School 100 division by pin in 2:20. Brayden Dunning, Samuel Gilman, Justin Kerrick, Donovan Fields, Kiernan Hathaway, Michael Fox, Isaac Gilman and Luke Wilburn also wrestled for Blackhawk in the event. “All the kids were very similar,” Olsen said. “They all went, they fought hard. Moving their feet is ex-
tremely important, especially with how we do things at the club. They were mentally tough, sticking through tough matches, knowing it’s alright to win by one. That pulled out a lot of wins for us today, just being that mentally tough wrestler we needed to be.” Participating in tournaments such as the Bristol Brawl serves as an opportunity for Blackhawk to continue making its wrestlers better and more experienced. “Seeing different kids and having tougher matchups is how you get better in the sport of wrestling,” Olsen said. “It’s going to continue to create that tough culture in our club, with that expectation that we travel to these tough tournaments. It only gets better every time we travel.” Overall, Olsen said that Blackhawk has had a good season so far. “They’ve been wrestling extremely tough and we have a large influx of first-year wrestlers,” he said. “Even though they’re new, they’re catching on extremely quick. We had a first-year kid win this weekend and he got two wins. That automatically

makes it a good weekend. I feel like that first win is what gets them hooked.” Next up for Blackhawk is the North Chesterfield Duals on Jan. 14. “We’re going to have a good team built of both (elementary) school kids
and middle school kids,” Olsen said. “It’s a lot different tournament than the individual tournaments, where everyone is on their own. We get to bond more as a team and it creates a good environment.”
BSH swimming hoping for more consistent meets in 2018 By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
Thus far this season, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s swim team hasn’t had much consistency in attending meets. The weather has wrought havoc on the Knights swim schedule, so much so that the team has only attended one swim meet thus far this season. “Practice has a completely different atmosphere than swim meets,” Knights swim coach Margo Sheffler wrote in an email. “It is helpful when the swimmers are under more pressure, so that
they can see how well they can actually perform. We have enough meets on the schedule for the rest of the season that we should be able to make up (for the missing meets), though, so I am not discouraged. We already had our winter break, so hopefully with a more consistent schedule and some patience, the team will still produce the results that the individual swimmers desire and work toward our main goal of becoming better athletes in general.” While Blessed Sacrament Huguenot only has had the one meet thus far,
it was a productive one for the Knights. Katie Davoud, a senior, qualified for the VISAA state swim meet in the 100 backstroke. Sheffler said that some younger swimmers are also showing some promise this season. “Jenna Schwab is in seventh grade and shows great promise in her abilities,” she wrote. “She has an eagerness to compete in nearly every event. I can’t wait to see her improvement by the time she is a senior.” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot is scheduled to swim against Fuqua on

Jan. 10, followed by another meet at Woodberry Forest on Jan. 13. Then, the Knights will swim at Swim RVA on Jan. 19. Sheffler wrote that she hopes to see continued improvement from her swimmers as the season
progresses. “My main goal is to help these swimmers become even better athletes,” she wrote. “While Coach Joss and I give them every opportunity to grow in their abilities and techniques, it is even more important to me
that they learn good sportsmanship and remember that swimming is truly a team sport. I already see them helping each other out and cheering each other on, but my goal is continue to foster even more of that team unity and support.”

(L to R) Powhatan’s Lindsey Fanz, Brooke Dippold, Selina Sakrisson, Alexis Atkinson, John Cavedo, Brandon Eacho and Noah Allen competed at the Bulldog Invitational at Liberty University on Jan. 6.
Powhatan sends seven to Liberty Invitational By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
While the activity on campus at Powhatan High School ground to a halt due to the snow that hit the area on Jan. 4, some of the Indians were able to compete on Jan. 6. Seven members of the Powhatan indoor track team traveled to Liberty University and competed in the prestigious Bulldog Invitational. The invitational attracted 75 teams from around the state and it was the first time that the Indians had attended the event, which was held at a new facility
WRESTLE Continued from pg. 1
What was important was making sure the wrestlers had good matchups, such as McMillin’s. “In that situation, we sacrificed what would have been a team win with getting that matchup for J.D.,” Tanaka said. “We could have easily gotten a forfeit at 113. But, in that situation, we knew it was a tough kid and it was good things we would get on film and see what we needed to do to get better. That’s always our goal is to get better for the postseason. Wednesday was not different. We’d like to get the win, but if losing that dual means J.D. gets to where he wants to be, then it was worth it.” Powhatan was scheduled to dual against St. Christopher’s, a longtime power in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA), but the snow that hit the area changed those plans. As both the Indians and Saints have full schedules the rest of the season, Tanaka said that making up the match probably wouldn’t be happening.
for track and field at Liberty. “Liberty’s new Tolsma Indoor Track facility is very impressive to say the least,” Indians assistant track coach Paul Smartschan wrote in an email. “For our athletes to have the opportunity to compete at a prestigious, competitive meet like this helps build speed, strength and confidence. It puts Powhatan track and field on the map in great ways.” Lindsey Fanz was the top finisher among the Indians contingent at Liberty as she finished in fifth place out of 83 entries in
the 1000 meters with a time of 3:11.20. Fanz ran in the top heat and finished fourth in that heat. The time was a seasonbest time for Fanz and qualified her for the Class 4 state indoor track meet. She is the second Indians track team member to have qualified for the state meet thus far this season. The other is Ashley Trevillian in the high jump. Selina Sakrisson finished 26th in the shot put with a throw of 28 feet, 11 ½ inches. It was a season best throw for her. Brooke Dippold and Alexis Atkinson both competed in the 1600 meters.
“It’s a huge disappointment,” he said. “Our kids love that match. Their kids are disappointed as well. Collin (Gerardi) said he was texting some of their kids last night about if the match would happen. It’s a fun, friendly rivalry and we have a ton of respect for that program. It’s always a good matchup and we were looking forward to those individual matchups. With our schedules, it’s not likely to happen (this year.) It’s definitely disappointing.” The snow canceled the match with the Saints and also made extra practice or training time difficult for the Indians wrestlers. “It’s tough with the side roads being hard to navigate,” Tanaka said. “It’s hard for the kids to get a workout in. That’s the difficult part…we want them to get workouts in, but we also want them to stay safe and off the roads.” Luckily, for Powhatan’s next big matchup at the Virginia Duals in Hampton on Jan. 13-14, temperatures are forecasted to be in the high 40’s to low 50’s with little chance of precipitation. The Indians are no
strangers to the Virginia Duals, as they’ve gone to the prestigious event for the past few seasons. Powhatan will compete in the Black and Blue division, which features schools from all around the state. Along with Class 4, Region B rival Hanover, the Indians will compete against Amhert, Cox, Great Bridge, Grundy, Lafayette, Liberty, Ocean Lakes, Oscar Smith, Smithfield, Spotsylvania, Tabb, Tallwood, Warwick and York. “We’re hoping to perform better than we have in the last few years,” Tanaka said. “We’ve chipped and clawed away. We’ve kept working at it. We have kids working their way back and we’re hoping to debut our ‘final lineup’ down at the beach. There are a couple good teams out there and we’re in the conversation with those teams.” Several college teams will also be competing at the Virginia Duals, such as Virginia, Virginia Tech, Arizona State, Bucknell, Oklahoma and Old Dominion, just to name a few.
Dippold’s time was a personal best for her and she was first in her heat. Dippold finished 45th with a 6:17.48, while Atkinson was 67th with a 6:43.40. John Cavedo and Noah
Allen also ran for the Indians at Liberty. Both runners competed in the boys 1600 meters. Cavedo was 54th with a time of 5:10.16, a personal record for him. He was first in his heat.
Allen was 112th with a 5:56.97. Brandon Eacho ran in the 1000 meters. The Indians will next compete on Jan. 16 at Fork Union Military Academy.

Indians fly past Clover Hill in home opener By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
Powhatan sent Clover Hill’s Alyssa Simpson to the foul line early in the first quarter of the matchup between the two teams on Jan. 3. Simpson missed both shots, and with it, the only chance the Cavaliers would have to own a lead over the Indians. But, the Powhatan defense gave the Clover Hill offense a multitude of problems, and the Indians were on their game in a 5123 win over the Cavaliers. “We came out pretty strong,” said Indians coach Kristy Henderson. “We worked well as a team and moved the ball around pretty well as a team. We attacked the basket very well. It was a good game. Everyone got to play and it was a nice night.” Clover Hill couldn’t find any traction against Powhatan, especially in the first quarter, as the Indians shut out out the Cav-

to swim at Patrick Henry YMCA, but the meet was postponed with no rescheduled date as of publication time. The Indians wrestling team was set for a dual with St. Christopher’s on Jan. 4, but that match will likely be canceled all together as the rest of the season is full for both teams. Another rule that Llewellyn said he does his best to follow is not to have back-to-back travel days for his teams. Unfortunately for the Indians, they’ll make a trip out to Western Albemarle on Jan. 23, and then back out to Charlottesville the next night. “Originally, I tried to make the game on Thursday, but Charlottesville had another game that week,” Llewellyn said.
aliers in the frame. The smothering defense employed by Powhatan led to ill-timed shots for Clover Hill, and more often than not, ended up back in the Indians’ possession as Powhatan owned the defensive glass. Even when Clover Hill had a clear lane to the basket at the free throw line, they couldn’t convert, going 0-for-6 in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Powhatan went on a 12-0 run in the first quarter to gap the Cavaliers and set the tone for the rest of the game. In the second quarter, the Indians went on two separate 5-0 runs to continue to build its lead over the Cavaliers. Powhatan opened the second half with a 7-0 run and went on a 8-0 run in the middle of the fourth quarter to extinguish any chance of Clover Hill getting within striking distance. Charlotte Kramer and Kylee Maiolo each scored
15 points for the Indians, while Kramer grabbed 11 rebounds. Maggie Salomonsky scored 12 points. “Charlotte played great,” Henderson said. “She made some great post moves on the block for us, she rebounded the ball really well. It was a great game for her. She’s working on those post moves and offensive rebounds. We even had blocking dummies out to work against her. She wants to work hard and get better.” One advantage of the large lead that Powhatan was able to build was that Henderson was able to build the depth of her bench and got her players playing time in live-action competition. “It gives the kids who don’t have much playing time or much experience more playing time and more confidence,” Henderson said. The game against Clover Hill was the first home game for the Powhatan
Powhatan has faced this problem once before this basketball season, when snow fell on Dec. 8 and moved the Indians boys basketball game against Fluvanna to Jan. 11. In both cases, in December and on Jan. 3, the snow fell in the Richmond-area, but not in Fluvanna or Charlottesville. That presents another complication when trying to reschedule games postponed due to the weather. “All the Charlottesville schools played,” Llewellyn said. “Tonight’s game, Charlottesville is in school and everyone is playing their games except us and Charlottesville. That creates an issue, with us being an hour or an hourfifteen away from our district opponents. Same thing can happen if there’s weather in Char-
lottesville, but not here.” Allowing for practice times for the teams is also part of consideration when an athletic director needs to reschedule a game. “Say we only had two games next week,” he said. “I wouldn’t have (rescheduled) the game for Monday because there wouldn’t have been the opportunity for practice.” Playing on Saturdays, which Llewellyn said was not a consideration for the games that were postponed on Jan. 5, brings its own set of issues. “That might happen as you get toward the end of the season to make sure you get the games in,” he said. “If you play a Saturday, you have to think of if it’ll hurt your (ticket sales), if you can find game workers or officials.

girls basketball team and the start of a long homestand. Henderson said that it was quite nice to be the home team on their own court. “The kids were excited,” she said. “I thought we’d have some jitters, but we came out strong. The 10-0 was nice and things settled down after
that. As long as the defense is strong, I feel like we’re good.” The Indians were thwarted by the snow on Jan. 5, when they were scheduled to travel to Charlottesville, but were back on the court on Jan. 9 against Albemarle for the first of the Jefferson District portion of the schedule.
Henderson said that she hopes that her team can continue its strong start in district play. “I think we’re a Powhatan team that (the district) isn’t used to seeing,” she said. “They’re used to us from last year or the year before. They don’t know us this year. The district is going to be pretty intense.”
Sometimes the officials work Division 3 college games on Saturdays. We try to stay off Saturdays because of family time. You try to save the weekend if at all possible. You also have the safety of the kids in mind. Four games is too many. Three is the max. I’m not saying we won’t ever play four in a week, that might happen if we get more snow, but you really try not to have that happen.” When the master schedule is put together at the start of the season, make-up days for weather aren’t built into the schedule. For the Jefferson District, the Director of Student Activities at Western Albemarle puts the schedule together each season. A computer program puts together the district schedule and the schools fill-in the rest of
their schedule with nondistrict opponents. “We don’t save any time for snow days,” Llewellyn said. “District games play on Tuesday and Fridays. That’s predetermined. The way the Dominion District does it, they play on Wednesdays and Fridays for boys (basketball) and Tuesday and Thursday for girls (basketball.)” While snow is the main worry in January, it doesn’t get any less stressful when it comes to weather as the year goes on. Thunderstorms can wreck a spring sports day when multiple sports are scheduled to play at one complex. “You have these thunderstorms roll in and we’re so far away from our district opponents we look foolish sometimes calling games early,” Llewellyn said. “They have to get on the
bus a lot earlier than if we were playing a school like Midlothian or James River. We have to make a call so they don’t drive all the way here or there and have the game postponed.” Turf fields, which every member of the Jefferson District has except for Powhatan, Louisa and Orange, are most resilient to rainfall. Llewellyn brought up a scenario last season when a make-up game was played on one of those turf fields just so it could be played prior to the end of the season and sacrificed a home game for the Indians. While Mother Nature is sure to be as unpredictable as ever, the Indians and Knights can just prepare as best they can for possible weather when it comes to getting on the field or to the gym on a given day.
