MLK Jr. breakfast showcases local youth By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – Powhatan residents of all ages celebrated the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the young people who continue to carry on his message at the seventh annual MLK Jr. Youth Community Breakfast. Upwards of 400 people filled the cafeteria of Powhatan High School on Monday, Jan. 15 in a show of unity and celebration in honor of the late Civil Rights leader, said April Gray, co-chair of the event. The morning encompassed breakfast paired with a full program of music, dancing, and oration, and while adults were participating and doing the organizing, they made it clear that the youth were the focus. “People are amazed when they walk in the room that there are so many peo-

previous location at Powhatan United Methodist Church was a big step for the program this year, Gray said. The church’s hall served the program well for six years, but the ever-growing attendance really called for more space. “The new location was absolutely awesome. People felt that they had a little more breathing room and everyone just thought that the school was beautifully set up and decorated. We are happy that we made the move this year,” she said. In addition to providing a new venue, the school system participated through the talents of its students, especially the musical performances of the Powhatan High School Jazz Band and the Chorus, which each performed several pieces. As always, they joined performances from the Little Zion Baptist Church Youth singing the National Anthem, a praise dance by the Little Zion Baptist see MLK, pg. 5 }

POWHATAN – For more than eight years, Clint Arrington was Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center. As the founder and executive director of the nonprofit organization in Powhatan that put 2,192 veterans on horseback for free therapeutic rides, almost everything Arrington did came back to this cause that was so dear to his heart. He had many volunteers and a board of directors that were also dedicated to the program’s mission, but it was Arrington’s baby. But when he died on April 23, 2017, due to heart complications after a stay in the hospital, he did so carrying the promise of those he left behind that they would keep the program he sacrificed so much for going, said Sherry Newark, his life

Supervisors start process of reviewing Powhatan’s comprehensive plan with more workshops to come By Laura McFarland

DELIVER TO: Postal Patron Powhatan, VA 23139

News Editor

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors met last week for the first of many workshops that will review the document that provides a vision for how the community might grow in the future. The board had its first workshop specifically about reviewing the Powhatan County 2017 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan on Thursday, Jan. 18. The document, which the planning commission presented to the board last fall, is an update to the county’s previously-adopted plan from 2010. The board already has scheduled workshops at 6 p.m. on Jan. 30 and Feb. 13, 20 and 28 at the Village Building, as well as planning on a final review and setting a public hearing sometime in March. The workshop started in the auditorium, where supervisors heard public comments from a long line of residents, but then moved to the conference room to start actually reviewing the document. Chairman Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, started the discussion by reminding people that the comprehensive plan is an idea of how the board thinks citizens want the county to look and it is modifiable at any time. In fact, the board is supposed to look at it by law every five years. “It is a guideline but it doesn’t have any teeth. The teeth come when we change the zoning ordinance to enforce the comprehensive plan,” Tucker said. “The comprehensive plan is more of a vision – some people might call it a dream – of what the future might look like. It is our opportunity to put our best foot forward.”

The board of supervisors holds its first workshop on Jan. 18 on the comprehensive plan, which they will continue to review in the coming weeks.

Ted Voorhees, county administrator, also would later point out that the comprehensive plan is a vision, not an ordinance, and is subject to revision as circumstances change. “But it is an important guiding document. It should be a valid expression of the board’s intent and a tool that the planning staff can use in evaluating applications for projects and rezoning. So we want to make sure we get it right,” he said. Tucker asked each board member to give a brief vision statement of what they want the comprehensive plan to enable for Powhatan’s future. He added that the board will likely overlap in many of its goals, and the areas where they disagree are where more time will probably be spent arguing their different perspectives. After the supervisors’ statements, the board actually started reviewing the document, moving through chapters 1, 2, 3, 10 and 11. Discussions about the other six chapters have already been assigned

to the future workshops. Tucker and Voorhees also both acknowledged the amount of work already done on the plan by the planning commission and staff members. The comprehensive plan document can be downloaded on the county’s website at www. powhatanva.com/documentcenter/ view/3147.

Vision statements Angie Cabell, vice chairwoman and District 3 representative, said that the things that come to mind when she thinks about the Powhatan she wants to see are “50,000-foot view” or general items. She said she sees Powhatan’s strength as its sense of community and a main way to promote that is with opportunities to come together. She gave examples of events in churches, on county playing fields, while enjoying Fighting Creek Park, parades, movie nights, or library see BOS, pg. 10 }

Supervisors adopt guidelines to prioritize 2019 budget process By Laura McFarland N ew s Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently unanimously adopted the fiscal year (FY) 2019 Budget Guidelines, which give direction to the county administrator and staff in regard to budget preparation. During the board’s meeting on Monday, Jan. 8, all five members were present

as they briefly discussed the guidelines, which are meant to “aid the board and the county administrator in working collaboratively toward a budget process that meets the goals of the board and the community.” The board met in December to discuss the guidelines and give county staff direction on what items they should prioritize as they create the FY 2019 budget. According to the guidelines, the bud-

get must “promote economic development as a top priority; fund ‘quality of life’ services that protect the health and safety of our residents while improving access to recreation, lifelong learning and cultural amenities; seek housing choice in support of our business, workforce and families’ expectations; promote broadband deployment to the entire county; continue our investments in a quality public education; and sustain a safety net for those in need. This should be accomplished while respecting the unique sense of place that we call home.” Should the local, state or national economic forecast change significantly prior to budget submission, county administrator Ted Voorhees will update the board and the community “in a timely manner on potential financial impacts that should be considered in FY 2019 budget discussions.” The document laid out 19 factors or considerations Voorhees was directed to take into account when developing the budget. The 19 items range from presenting a balanced budget that assumes no increase in tax rates to addressing department needs, employee salaries and bene-

fits, the schools needs, enhancing public engagement, looking at options for a budgeting and performance management systems, and preserving the county’s bond rating. Several board members complimented Voorhees for the comprehensive list of guidelines and the way it captures what the board had previously discussed. David Williams, who represents District 1, agreed that the guidelines address concerns he had previously discussed with Voorhees going into the budget season. While Voorhees had told the board at the outside of the discussion they didn’t have to adopt them that night, Williams said he was comfortable with them “with the understanding that these are guidelines and they are not set in stone,” especially as more information becomes available, such as the state budget. “House and Senate versions of the budget will be reported on Feb. 18. Ted is going to be coming forward with his proposed budget on Feb. 21,” he said. “I am comfortable with what I see but I know we have the flexibility to include other see BOARD, pg. 8 }

Sheppard lauded for band honor

Student from Powhatan among those across the state chosen to serve during nine-week session Contributed Report The Senate of Virginia officially appointed 37 young Virginians as Senate Pages when the legislature convened on Wednesday, Jan. 10. Members of the Senate selected the class of 2018 from 190 applicants who sought admission to the Senate Page Leadership Program for the upcoming 60-day legislative session. Thirty-five schools throughout Virginia are represented in the incoming class. Reece Smith, a student at Pocahontas Middle School, is representing Powhatan as a page during the session. Reece, who has limited phone access, told her mom, Shelly Smith, that she is enjoying the program, particularly watching our government in action and meeting new people. “She says it's only been a week and she has already learned so much,” her mom said. The Senate Page Leadership Program is structured similar to a college preparatory program with components centered on developing future leaders. Students who receive admission to the program carry on the tradition of page service in the legislature while fulfilling requirements in a professional development track comprised of speakers, site visits and classroom-like instruction. The program has evolved into exceptional leadership training for students interested in history, civics, government and politics. The chief duty of Senate pages is to assist the senators during floor sessions and committee meetings. In addition to these responsibilities, Senate pages run errands, answer telephones, pull and file

School board approves transition guidelines By Laura McFarland

cific individual requests for a waiver to assigned school were sent to the superintendent. However, the school district recognizes that the disruption in learning environment in the final year of elementary school can be a hardship, so Jones recommended an opportunity to help that process. According to the new guideline, rising fifth-grade students (current fourth-graders) may remain at their current home school for the 20182019 school year as long as parents provide transportation. All other students will attend their assigned school, unless the waiver process and guidelines are met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did discuss and review and consider expanding beyond the current fourth-graders that may be given the capabil-

POWHATAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In light of the elementary school realignment that will soon be considered by the Powhatan County School Board, the members recently voted to approve transition guidelines that meant to make the move easier on some students. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, talked about the guidelines at the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 9, laying out how rezoning was handled with the opening of Flat Rock Elementary and how it would be handled in 2018. In the previous rezoning, when Flat Rock Elementary opened, all students were expected to attend their assigned schools, Jones said. Spe-

ity of staying at their current home school,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In discussions with staff, transportation and considering the fact that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow any students to stay the last time we redistricted when Flat Rock opened, we felt that fifth grade was the logical place to end this accommodation.â&#x20AC;? Jones cited three main concerns with having a more lax policy about allowing students to stay in their current schools: having enough staffing in the schools, particularly in the first year, with a larger number of students; increased parent pick up and drop off compounding what already can be troublesome backups, and the need for the schools to experience the benefits of the redistricting in the short term in terms of providing space. James Kunka, District 2, thanked Jones and the staff for looking into increasing the accommodations and pointed out that this is a process that is not going to sit well with everybody in the county but the numbers in the elementary schools need to be more balanced. Chairman Joe Walters, District, 4, and Rick Cole, District 1, echoed Kunkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments. Whenever there is change, there is discomfort, Cole said, but at the same time the school district has three very good elementary schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents that are affected, certainly let your feelings be know, but I hope that once we move forward you will move forward with enthusiasm and with support from that new school. Certainly, your child is going to be influenced by how you portray that move and how you react to that move,â&#x20AC;? he said. Valarie Ayers, District

3, said overcrowding conditions can be awful and extremely hard on students and staff, so she truly believes the school board will be doing what is best for the staff. Jones said the school board is likely to tackle the topic of realignment at its meetings in February. Other business handled at the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop and meeting on Jan. 9 included: The board unanimously approved the draft Capital Improvements Plan for Fiscal Years 2019 to 2023. This document is a five-year projection of capital funding needs. It includes items such as: construction or renovation of schools and other facilities; major repairs such as roofing and HVAC repairs and replacements; replacement of school buses and other support vehicles, and land acquisition. This year, the CIP also reflects renovation costs to repurpose a portion of Pocahontas Middle School ($749,000) as well as a placeholder for roof and HVAC replacement for the remainder of the facility ($1,610,000). The CIP is presented in three sections, the first two includes projects that are to be funded by the county and the third is smaller cost projects that are planned to be funded within the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available resources. During the public comment period, Joni Peck, Franklin Wood, and Amy Wood all spoke about the importance of music programs in schools and asked the board to fully fund it as they go into budget season. After the election of chairman and vice chairwoman, the board unanimously approved Larry

Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations, Dr. Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendent of instruction, and Dr. Cheryl Thomas, director of elementary education, as designees of the superintendent to attend school board meetings in his absence. The board also unanimously approved Michele Wilson as school board clerk and Dorothy Tribble and Donna Horne as school board deputies. During the workshop, Omohundro gave a presentation on the local plan for the Gifted SixYear Update 2018-2023. The Gifted Plan is formally updated every six years (with annual review and addendums as needed). Based on stakeholder feedback, the VDOE audit, as well as input from Gifted Resource Teachers and the Gifted Advisory Committee, Omohundro presented a draft for the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial review. The board will be asked for full approval in February. Within the plan update, some areas that were identified for review based on different sources of feedback were: additional professional development for classroom teachers; equitable representation of different student populations; re-testing students at grade level transitions; addressing the needs of transfer students, and service options at secondary programs. A PDF outlining all of the changes to the plan can be found on the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BoardDocs website. Omohundro also gave a presentation on new standards of accreditation. As a result of the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) in 2015, Virginia

has proposed new standards of accreditation (SOA) in compliance with the new federal legislation. The revised SOAs include quality indicators that will impact the 2018- 2019 accreditation for schools and divisions, as well as graduation requirements that will impact students who entered ninth grade in 2017. There are four components of accountability: school quality profiles; the accreditation process at the state level; the ESSA at the federal level â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make sure that our classrooms are effective and our instruction is effective, as well as making sure we are providing support and intervention for those students who need it; and the standards of quality focus on how a school functions as far as budgeting, staffing, etc. The expanded accountability goes beyond pass rates on Standards of Learning (SOL) tests and high school graduation and completion. Schools will receive credit for students who are making progress in English and/ or mathematics; be evaluated on success in narrowing achievement gaps in English and mathematics; and be evaluated on success in reducing absenteeism and lowering dropout rates. Additionally, high schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; effective in 2021-2022 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be expected to meet goals for increasing participation and achievement in advanced programs, career and technical education, and service learning. A full PDF breaking down the changes can be found on the school districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BoardDocs website. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Powhatan Today, January 24, 2018

Church Praise Dancers and songs from the MLK Youth Day Community Choir. Youth were also highlighted through the student mentees who spoke alongside their adult mentors, scholarship winners and speeches, such as the reading of King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech by Josh Rolth. The impact on students and long history of service to her country were the main reasons Gray said she tapped Lt. Col. Veronica Baker as the event’s keynote speaker. Baker talked about King’s legacy and the way each of us can be empowered to have “dreams for ourselves, our families, for our community, for our country, and for a better world.” “When dreaming, dream big don't be afraid of failure. Failure builds courage, and it could be the beginning of something great. Where there are no trials there are no rewards,” she said. “You hold the key to your own dream. It’s OK to fail; however, it is not OK to not at least try.” It had already been mentioned and showed up in the décor as a reminder that 2018 marks 50 years since King’s assassination. Baker said his death is a somber reminder for people that “it's time for us to wake up, step up, speak up, and rise up! Rise up as a community, as a state, as a country and not allow bigotry, prejudice, and hatefulness to spread any farther than it has already penetrated.” Other features of the program included recognition of visiting dignitaries, the reading of proclamations from the board of supervisors and school board, door prizes and community service rec-

Alicia Hardy of Chesterfield, who is also a native of Powhatan, said she has attended all but one MLK breakfast and loves that it is growing and more people continue to get involved, either in the program or just by attending. Hardy is the directress of the young adult choir at Little Zion and was over the dance team, who, along with the other youth, did an awesome job, she said. “It is about togetherness – us continuing to draw together, us continuing to grow together as a community – not just

The third winter storm off the h season hit Po Powhatan hatan on Jan. Jan 17 and dropped drop about 3 to 5 inches in most parts of the county. Whiles schools were closed for the rest of the week, Powhatan families found plenty to keep them busy and snapped a few photos of their land, their children and their animals enjoying the winter weather. Some also went out and captured scenes around the county. Because of the large number of photos received, more photos will run in the Jan. 31 edition.

Equal Rights Amendment is long overdue By Laura McFarland News Editor

n the mess than can become my desk sometimes is a little book that rarely gets cracked. Yet that insignificant little book contains the text to what is arguably one of the most important documents in our nation’s history. For me, it is second only to the Bible. You might recognize it – it starts, “We the people of the United States …” The Constitution of the United States of America, including the Bill of Rights, is the document that helped shape this country into the nation we have today. And maybe the fact that it remains incomplete is a good indicator of why we still have some of the problems that have been getting national attention regarding the rights and treatment of women in our nation. Yes, I said incomplete. Because, you see, the Bill of Rights is still missing one very key amendment: the Equal Rights Amendment. It’s an amendment that, among other things, simply says that “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” The amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed by Congress on March 22, 1972, and then sent to the states to ratify. And 35 states did ratify it. Virginia was not one

of them. When that fact recently was brought to my attention because of some Powhatan families that have become involved in the campaign to get it ratified, I was appalled that I hadn’t been aware of it. I was angry with myself for my lack of knowledge but also with whatever ignorance, bigotry, sexism, or misguided sense of “protecting women” that has kept this amendment from being passed not only by Virginia but by every state that dares to say it cares about the well-being of its citizens. I started reading articles online about what reasons people could possibly have about not wanting to pass this. Some arguments included: saying the ERA was not actually about women since it says “sex” instead of “women”; the deadline placed on the ratification process by Congress means the point is moot (didn’t stop Nevada from ratifying in March 2017); it forces women into combat (having a sister who proudly served in the U.S. Army, this one is personal); or it gives more power to the federal government. The last one I know is a real issue for people, but, the thing is, some protections need higher protections themselves. Freedom of speech is an amendment to the Constitution. The right to bear arms is an amendment to the Constitution. So too is protection from illegal search and seizure or cruel and unusual punishment, the aboli-

tion of slavery, defining citizenship rights, prohibiting discrimination based on race, setting presidential term limits or saying the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged “on account of sex.” Can you honestly say that the right of equal protection under the law of your wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, female neighbor, female co-worker or the stranger on the street doesn’t warrant the same level of safeguarding? Currently, the General Assembly has three resolutions that have been introduced for the 2018 session to have Virginia ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. House Joint Resolution 4, Senate Joint Resolution 4 and House Joint Resolution 2 all propose ratification and advocate “the position that the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment remains viable and may be ratified notwithstanding the expiration of the 10-year ratification period set out in the resolving clause, as amended, in the proposal adopted by Congress.” The fact that this issue has been killed in committee so many times in the last several years is appalling. It deserves an open and honest debate, and, I agree, a recorded vote that lets us know where our lawmakers truly stand on protecting all of their citizens.

Guest commentary

‘May we differ, but never demean’ Editor’s note: On Friday, Jan. 12, Del. Lee Ware, R-65, gave a speech on the floor of the Virginia House of Delegates and this publication has decided to reprint it.

By Del. Lee Ware Special to Powhatan

adies and Gentlemen of the House. We gather here today amid a great change in the constitution of this body. Nearly a quarter of the men and women who sat here on my side of the aisle just one year ago are gone – swept away at the polls by the sovereign voice of the people in their ballots on Nov. 7. Such change has become a constant in our lives in a now-continental society given to turbo-capitalism and the continual revolution of science. Still, some realities are impervious to the emotions agitated by the media or the ideologies by which our political parties contend for the right to govern. Still, our budget must be balanced. Still, we have problems to address that defy simple remedy. Still, we will have important issues to debate – and to decide. And, still we need to make our way to a discourse and decisions worthy of the complex Commonwealth we assemble today to serve. Two generations ago, in 1955, William F. Buckley Jr. defined a conservative as “someone who stands athwart history, yelling, ‘Stop,’ at a time when no one is inclined to do so.” Probably all 100 of us here today can agree on one thing at least, which is that history did not stop, and much of the social and political order of our parents’ generation has been swept away – largely by technologies and pharmaceuticals that may prove as destructive of human nature as they are alluring to human appetites. How can History be “stopped,” or even slowed, when science dissolves even whole societies’ let alone the individual’s ability to maintain traditional norms—or our fabled American sense of self-government, and independence

of judgment? A litany of thinkers has attempted to answer those questions, among the most notable being Aldous Huxley, author of “Brave New World”; C.S. Lewis, author of “The Abolition of Man”; George Orwell, with whose “1984” or “Animal Farm” many of us will be familiar. My own litany of prophetic voices about the fragility of ordered liberty and the sundry threats to human dignity begins with Plato, who well warns that democracies invariably tend – and end – in tyranny. The framers of our Constitution understood this, and so bequeathed us republican – emphatically small r – forms to channel democratic passions. More recently, Jacob Burckhardt forewarned in the 1890s that the challenges of modern cities and economies would tempt the masses to choose “terrible simplifiers” to impose a single, totalitarian remedy to the new problems of “modern life.” Ortega in 1932 warned of “the revolt of the masses” against all forms of superior achievement; Tocqueville a century earlier wondered if we Americans, in our preoccupation with equality, would at last subvert liberty through a “mass conformism” that would instantiate a “soft despotism” every bit – and more – tyrannical than the “hard” dictatorships of armed ideologies. And Christopher Lasch, who in 1979 suggested that the social changes Tocqueville, Burckhardt, and others noticed in the 19th Century led to “an historical period characterized by…[an increasing number of individuals] in a state of marked narcissism with all its pathological symptoms.” The reference is to our period…to us. It will come as no surprise to this audience that I define myself as a conservative. But what, I constantly ask myself, can the conservative hope to conserve – to do – when Constant Change is the dynamic engine of society, economy, and polity? My answer is, the conservative can bear witness to truths that have been 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

tested by time and transmitted by tradition. For example, no matter how high the federal debt becomes, one and one still equals two, and no people can thrive who spend beyond their means. The day may come when voters break entirely with such truths, but still one can bear witness. This approach is what Edmund Burke described as “the cake of custom.” Custom can be broken, or abandoned, but even then, there remains one creed – one fragment of custom, as it were – that is impervious and equal to all change. That custom is charity. Indulge a veteran of two decades in these chambers to invite all of us, amid the “sound and fury” that will invariably occur in coming weeks, to remember that, in the end, Shakespeare found it all to signify only “nothing.” “Nothing,” that is, compared to the principles and the experiences that endure. As an example of this, the oldest of all the traditions extolled by the conservative, I deeply regret that we will not any longer be practicing one of the most ancient of all customs of the House of Delegates. Of course I bow to the decision of our constituted authority, but in doing so I am compelled to bear witness to what I believe is the conservative’s obligatory response to the “Brave New World” upon which we are entered. And so, to Delegate Ken Plum of the 36th District I say, Sir, no matter how now I must address you in this chamber, and though we will continue to vote differently on a wide array of issues, you will remain for me The Gentleman from Fairfax. The same is true for everyone in every seat in this body, for each of you has been elected to represent the constituents of your district on the terms by which you campaigned for their votes. Congratulations, and welcome. May we differ, but never demean; may we listen as well as clamor; and may many of us emerge in mid-March – as Aristotle would have us do – in a kind of friendship that transcends solely partisan obligations and opens us to the cooperation required for us to serve together our common weal.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Keeping rural character valued by residents Dear Editor, Regarding Planning Commissioner Bill Cox’s letter in the January 17 issue of Powhatan Today, I respectfully disagree with his view that the county needs a “change in direction” on growth. In theory it is true that increased commercial development can result in a lowering of property taxes but at what true cost? Big commercial development will beget more growth, both residential and commercial, and set us on a course to become another Chesterfield. Chesterfield leaders have been singing this song for 40 years and look at the result. All the surveys that I have seen show that Powhatan residents love the rural character of their county more than anything else. Some things are worth paying for. Bob Nagel Powhatan County

an educator and an entrepreneur active in the Powhatan community but she also worked for almost a decade for the Central Waste Management Corporation in Florida. Bill Melton, District 4, said he felt Powhatan County was lucky to have somebody with Harris’ “level of expertise and knowledge sitting on that board for us to help bring us forward in our dealings with waste management.” Harris was approved unanimously. Agreeing to hold off on adopting a schedule for meetings on the proposed Comprehensive Plan until they had more

discussion on what their main concerns or thoughts were on what the planning commission had presented. The board set a meeting for Thursday, Jan. 18 to discuss the issue and set a schedule. During county administrator comments, Voorhees showed the board some recommended identity monikers or logos the Economic Development Authority (EDA) had considered as a way to move forward with the county’s new identity indicator. The EDA had selected a stylized county shape divided and shaded not based on district lines but by the major roads crossing the county.

Voorhees showed the board the option that the EDA plans to move forward with and said he was presenting it to the supervisors as a way to join in and “freshen our identity package for the whole county.” However, several board members had questions or concerns about the logo creating confusion with the districts. No decisions were made at the meeting. Billy Melton, District 4, suggested having more dialogue at the board’s Jan. 22 meeting after they had a plan to consider it. That meeting was after press time.

partner. The night before Arrington died, she said she was able to visit and honestly tell him that the board and volunteers had found a way to keep Lonesome Dove going. He smiled, she said, which was the only time he smiled that day. “That really made me feel good, that he knew, because this is his legacy. It really is. And he did so well with it. He was always thinking about how to improve Lonesome Dove and what we could do different and who else he could approach to support us. He worked it 247,” she said. Of course, filling Arrington’s cowboy boots hasn’t been easily. In fact, it has literally taken a small village of people coming together to make it happen. But it is happening because the right people came along to help, said Karen Ylimaki, secretary/treasurer of the board.

Finding the right people The nonprofit’s board of directors had already made the decision before Arrington’s death to keep Lonesome Dove alive, as Newark had told him. Ylimaki had also promised him they would find a way to carry on the last time she visited him in the hospital. But after Arrington’s death, the 7-acre property was put in a trust and had to be sold.

A new chapter With the new instructors in place as of the end of 2017, the sale of Lonesome Dove moved ahead and closed on Jan. 3, 2018, Gerber said. The property sold for $290,000 with Gerber leasing use of it back to the nonprofit for about $2,000 a month. All told, it takes a budget of about $65,000 a year to keep Lonesome Dove going when everything goes according to plan, Ylimaki said. That means the program still needs support from corporate and individual sponsors to keep going and provide the therapeutic rides at no cost to veterans. The program also continues to need volunteers to help with the sessions with veterans as a side walker or leader or with other chores around the place. Ylimaki said she isn’t that great with horses, but she knows how to organize and she can find things for people to do. “It is a lot of fun with the other people, too. We all have a good time and it’s all about the vets because Lord knows what they’ve been through,” she said Ylimaki recalled the first session with veterans after Arrington’s death. It was held in June and was “almost like a little celebration,” she said. “We expected Clint to

come around the corner any minute and start barking orders. It was just like we can do this, we have to do this, and we all just pitched in. It was a good time to be able to do this again,” she said. There were some tears on that bittersweet summer day from the people who knew Arrington, Newark said. Many of those volunteers have been with the nonprofit for years. “Everybody knew their job, everybody knew what to do and we had someone else to mount and dismount riders, which was Clint’s primary role. So it went well, it went very smoothly. I was pleased, but it was hard,” she said. The transition has been anything but easy and Newark and the board members have had to take a serious look at the duties they all handled so it wouldn’t overwhelm any one person. But at the end of the day, the fact that they are still pulling together to make it happen for the veterans Lonesome Dove helps means that Arrington’s legacy lives on, she said. “It’s wonderful because now we are in the new chapter. Lonesome Dove is continuing and that is the main thing. The veterans absolutely love it,” Newark said. “Some of them have come up to me and said, ‘I miss him so much.’ They miss his presence. But the program still continues and they are pleased with that.” For more information about Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center, visit www.ldequestrian.com.

She wants excellent public health and safety and strong schools as well as a community that is vibrant, welcoming to all, and has a dynamic business culture. The business culture â&#x20AC;&#x153;does not mean paving paradise and putting up a parking lot.â&#x20AC;? It means helping existing businesses grow, thrive, expand, and diversify; filling up some of the empty storefronts in the county, and maybe attracting new businesses, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but not at the cost of selling our soul.â&#x20AC;? Larry Nordvig, District 2, said his vision for the county doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter; it needs to be based on what residents want. He said many of those concerns and desires had been expressed earlier that night during the public comment period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government is of

the people, by the people, for the people. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sit here and invent who we want to be; our boss is telling us loud and clear what we should be. All weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do is create that,â&#x20AC;? he said. Nordvig said what he is hearing the public ask for is not to look like Chesterfield County, specifically saying the county â&#x20AC;&#x153;should not take our hands off the steering wheel and let the developers do whatever they want in the commercial district.â&#x20AC;? He continued that list, saying he has heard from residents saying they do not want high density housing such as low-income apartments and dramatic change. What residents say they do want is smart growth; keeping the rural feel of Powhatan; a tight-knit community by building planned development; commitment to public safety; not to make traffic worse, and to have more zoning related to having good architectural design in development.

Bill Melton, District 4, said he wants to have a vibrant, balanced community that maintains its rural character and provides and meets the needs for all segments of the population. The comprehensive plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;should support and facilitate difficult balance needed to provide for economic development/jobs/ revenues. This balance is needed to provide the services to all our citizens in areas of education, health, safety, and recreation in a physically sustained manner.â&#x20AC;?

Vision statements continued Tucker said he pictures the Powhatan of the future as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;green place where the concepts of a smaller rural community still prevail, where people still know each other and acknowledge each other on the road and in the stores, where people are friendly and helpful and tolerant and respectful of each other, of property, and of privacy.â&#x20AC;? He said the county is fiercely protective of its farmers, water, air, soil, history, view sheds, wildlife and night sky. People want to invest in education and see quick and competent responses to emergencies. In this vision, the community understands and confronts the â&#x20AC;&#x153;awkward tensionâ&#x20AC;? between rural quality of life and the need to widen the tax base and accepts the challenge to be fair to business landowners to develop their land while managing growth with long-range strategy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We reject the willy-

nilly, slapdash development of Route 60. We unequivocally adhere to our access management guidelines. We develop more densely designated intersection nodes on Route 60 using mixeduse, walkable community models,â&#x20AC;? he said. He went on to envision a discussion on these significant issues where people can â&#x20AC;&#x153;engage without rancor and believe in each other, that all of us are doing the best we can, honestly, with the greater good in mind.â&#x20AC;? David Williams, District 1, said he is interested in keeping Powhatan County rural as long as possible. Reality may be that there will be development, but the challenge is to develop in â&#x20AC;&#x153;a way that we are going to be proud of 50 years from now.â&#x20AC;? When he talks to people, he said they like the small town feel Powhatan has and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are not staying here because this board has a strong commitment to economic development. Nor are people coming here because this board has a strong commitment to economic development. People are coming here for the same reason we are living here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we like what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got and we are interested in keeping it just as long as we can,â&#x20AC;? he said. Powhatan is a place where people have a quality of life they want to pass on to their children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is worth fighting for,â&#x20AC;? he said. Williams also acknowledged the importance of Route 60 and how it is developed, and

the resulting trip generation will be a focus for him, he concluded. Tucker asked all of the board members to put their visions as a written statement and give them to Voorhees.

Reviewing chapters Bret Schardein, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of community development, walked the board through the chapters under review at the meeting. Chapter 1, Introduction, includes a condensed history of the county, demographics, projections for the future and talks about what is a comprehensive plan and how it is used. Updates from the previous plan were primarily updating statistics, removing repetitive language and removing references to urban development areas, he said. Chapter 2, Planning Background, gets into the themes and principles that guide the plan, which are to maintain character, provide services to current and future residents, maintain fiscal responsibility, and acknowledge and accommodate reasonable pressures for growth. It talks about some of the regional growth trends that the county has to figure out how to manage through the plan. Changes from the previous plan included updating figures and condensing or reducing the language, Schardein said. Melton quoted parts of the chapter referencing projected residential and commercial growth in Chesterfield County and suggested looking at Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land use map and

how much of that growth it will actually capture. This led to a brief discussion about potential growth and the competition brick and mortar businesses everywhere face with online businesses. However, the supervisors agreed the real discussion on this will come with later chapters. Chapter 3, Vision and Goals, addresses the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision statement as well as goals for the county, which are land use, economy, housing, transportation, infrastructure and community facilities, natural resources and open spaces, and cultural resources. Nordvig referenced a retreat in December 2017 where the board identified goals and asked for alignment between the documents and what the board said. Tucker agreed and asked Voorhees to make sure there were no gross contradictions between the goals in each document. Chapter 10, Action Prioritization, contains a single chart that indicates which efforts the county should undertake first and which efforts may be addressed over a longer timeframe regarding how the plan is carried out after it is adopted. Chapter 11, Implementation Tools, was a list of tools that may assist in the implementation of recommendations made in the comprehensive plan. The board had a discussion on a few items on the list but ultimately left it unchanged. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

Powhatan’s Kylee Maiolo runs upcourt after getting a steal with less than five seconds left in the game as she went and converted the would-be game-winning layup for the Indians in the 46-44 win.

Maiolo sinks game-winning layup at buzzer By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

t was the situation that every player in any sport would love to see. The ball in their hand, seconds ticking down in the game and a wide open lane for the winning score. That’s the situation that presented itself to Powhatan’s Kylee Maiolo on Jan.

16 at home against Monticello. The Mustangs had just missed backto-back free throws, but retained possession on the rebound with 16.3 seconds remaining in the game. After a timeout by Monticello, the Mustangs worked their offense, but Maiolo seized the perfect opportunity to grab a steal, with nothing but open court in front of her.

“I honestly wasn’t thinking anyone,” Maiolo said about when she gained control of the ball. “I just knew I had to get it in the hoop.” She ran down the court and sank the layup as the buzzer sounded, sending the Indians to a 46-44 come-from-behind win. The game did not start off as one that would come down to a buzzer-beating

shot. Monticello opened the game on a 16-0 run, including making four 3-point shots during the run. “They couldn’t miss,” Indians head coach Kristy Henderson said of the Mustangs. “We were giving them wide-open shots. There was a lack of intensity in the first quarter and a bit of shell shock after see INDIANS, pg. 4B}

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Colby Johnson (11) is one of three players that returned from injury and gave the Knights a much-needed boost.

The turn of new year has brought an uptick in fortunes for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s 2017-18 season. Along with picking up their first victory of the season on Jan. 11, the Knights have also had several key pieces return from injury. The Knights carried some momentum into their recent game against Kenston Forest, but ultimately could not pull out the win. The 55-51 defeat to the Kavaliers showed how far the Knights have come

since the season began, but also displayed their need to improve in critical situations in order to win consistently. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot started the game well in the first quarter, with its defensive improvement full display. One aspect of the defensive game plan that was effective was the decision to press, with two defenders often closing down the opposing ballhandler. “We didn’t know much about them. They had one guy returning from their roster last year. So I had to go by their size, and they had eight guys on their roster. So I was thinking that we could wear see KNIGHTS, pg. 3B}

Powhatan’s Austin Washburn (left) sinks one of his six 3-point shots against Fluvanna on Jan. 19 at Powhatan High School. Washburn was able to create open looks throughout the night and took advantage of that, scoring 22 points.

Washburn’s 22 points leads Indians past Fluvanna By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

s the old saying goes, when you’re hot, you’re hot. That was the case for Powhatan’s Austin Washburn on Jan. 19 against Fluvanna. Washburn drained 3-point shot after 3-point shot to lead the Indians past the Flucos at Powhatan High School in a 57-46 final. The Indians dropped a game on Jan. 16 at Monticello when the Mustangs drained a 3-point shot to win it as time expired. Coach Steve Washburn said that it was critical for his team to bounce back after that loss and he was glad the Indians responded. “We really needed this,” he said. “On Tuesday, we kind of came undone in the second half after a really good first half. I thought tonight was important to get our confidence level up to where it needed to be. This team has so much ability, sometimes we just unravel. I liked how we were able to compose ourselves in the second half. It was a low-scoring game. It was a grind it out type of game. We were able to pull it together and get some good possessions.” Fluvanna opened the game with a 3-point shot, but that would be just one of two shots that the Flucos

would drain in the quarter. After the Flucos went ahead 5-2, the Indians went on an 18-0 run, which went from the middle of the first quarter to the start of the second. Fluvanna responded with a 12-0 run of its own in the second quarter, but Washburn drained his first 3-point shot of the game to stop that rally. The Indians went to the break with a 23-16 lead. Powhatan opened the second half with an 8-0 run that featured 3-point shots from Washburn and Jaylen Hempfield. Washburn hit three more 3-point shots in the frame as the Indians scored 21 points and increased their lead. In the fourth, Powhatan kept the hammer down as Fluvanna attempted to cut into the lead, but were unable to do so. Deven Van Natter opened the quarter with a 3-point shot, which was followed by an 8-2 Flucos run. But, even with that run, Powhatan maintained a double-digit lead that they would hold until the end of the game. Washburn led the team with 22 points. “He really needed that as well,” coach Washburn said. “He’s drawn a lot of attention from other teams’ defenses and hasn’t enabled him to get the kind of looks that he got tonight. It’s very important for us

for him to get scoring rhythm back, which will open up opportunities for him and the rest of the team as well.” Powhatan’s win over Fluvanna also showcased the team’s ability to take a hold a lead, as well as stay out of foul trouble and not allow the other team to have a chance at getting back into the game. The Indians were 11-for-13 from the free throw line. “We talked about, it’s been difficult to get a rhythm together after having missed so much practice time,” Washburn said. “We haven’t had a lot of time to work on the smaller parts of the game. I thought it excellent by our guys to have executed some of the finer parts of the game that we haven’t had a lot of time to work on.” The recent snowy weather, and the cancellations and postponements have certainly taken their toll on the Indians. “It has had a lot of effect,” Washburn said. “Last week, we had those three road games in a row. It really effects you physically, but mentally too when you go on the road that much and against really good teams. This district is tightly packed together and the teams are only separated by a little bit. We’ve got this win under our belt, enjoy the weekend and finally get a practice in, which will do wonders for us.”

Longer season being considered for baseball, softball By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

he Virginia High School League is currently taking a proposal under considering that would extend the baseball and softball schedules from a maximum 20 game schedule to 30 games. The measure was included on the minutes from the Executive Committee meeting on Jan. 23 and will be brought to a vote by the VHSL in May. The legislation states that both baseball and softball teams would be limited to a 30 game season as opposed to the current 20 games. It also states that “ten of the 30 games must be played as a part of five doubleheaders (either five or seven innings) that may only be scheduled on Saturdays,” according to the minutes that were uploaded to the VHSL website. The extra games also would not count toward a team’s postseason rankings.

them down,” Knights coach Chris Hamner said. “I think it worked. Our length was a little bit of a problem for them, and I think the pressing aspect worked.” The Knights led Kenston Forest 14-6 at the end of the first quarter, an indication that the plan was indeed working early on. The Kavaliers’ offense found its groove in the second quarter, going on to score 19 points in the period. However, the Knights were able keep pace in their own right. Much of the offense came from sophomore Raymond Avery, who did much of his work around the basket by converting tough layups and threepoint plays at the free throw line. Avery led Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in scoring with 18 points and the game was tied at 25 at the half. The third quarter was a closely contested one, as

Along with the proposal, a chart was introduced showing that Virginia baseball and softball teams play the second fewest games when compared against neighboring states. Only Maryland (18 games) plays fewer. North Carolina has a 23 game limit, Tennessee is at 30 games, West Virginia is at 32 games and Kentucky has a maximum of 36 games. Powhatan baseball coach Gregg Conner said that he is in favor of this legislation. “It would be more representative of a college schedule,” he said. “I’d really like to see it happen.” Conner noted that it is a maximum limit of 30 games and said that the beauty of the proposal is the flexibility it allows. The proposal in the minutes noted the rationale for the change would be to “provide an opportunity for teams to develop pitchers,” something that Conner also agrees with. “There are not enough games for teams

the teams seemed to trade baskets for the entire eight minutes. The Knights’ newfound depth was a key factor in helping them stay in the game. Senior Colby Johnson, junior Riley Dickerson and freshman Robbie Kurtz all recently returned from injuries and have played important minutes in the rotation. “After the Christmas break we were able to get three guys back that were on the shelf to start the season,” Hamner said. “That helps us tremendously in keeping guys fresh from a minutes perspective.” Kenston Forest lead 42-41 heading into the fourth quarter. Just like the third quarter, the fourth quarter was a back-and-forth affair that went right down to the wire. Trailing with less than two minutes to play, the Knights generated a series of open looks that they couldn’t get to go down. “We actually got two

pretty good looks down at the end with about 1:10 and 45 seconds to go for one of our better shooters on the team, Robbie Kurtz,” Hamner said. “He is a freshman, but he got two open looks and just couldn’t get them to go down. It just wasn’t our night.” Kurtz showed his shooting prowess throughout the game, scoring 17 points on the night that include four three-pointers. A key factor in the loss was a handful of late turnovers by the Knights that led directly to points for Kenston Forest. “We have some young guys that just hand the other team the ball in key situations. We turn it over in really key points of the game, we just kind of say ‘here you go,’” Hamner said. However, Hamner was confident that team will continue to learn and improve: “It’s our youth and inexperience. Once we figure that out, we’re going to be able to win some close games.”

with big staffs,” he said. “It’d allow us to develop pitchers and put our kids in game situations. It’s a win-win.” On the softball side, Indians coach Marie Crump wrote in an email that, overall, she supports an increase in the number of games in the season. “Playing additional games could certainly enhance player development as well as prevent some practice ‘burn-out,’ particularly toward the end of the season,” she wrote. However, Crump noted that a 24 or 25 game limit might be more “realistic.” “With weather being such a factor in baseball and softball,” she wrote, “many schools struggle to complete the current 20-game limit, so increasing to 30 (is) too much.” Just last season, frequent rain near the end of the season forced several of the conferences to cancel the conference tournament entirely and moved the top two seeds to the region tournament. Powhatan baseball’s conference semi-

final against Dinwiddie was postponed several times and had to be moved to Cosby High School’s field in order to get the game in. Powhatan softball got the conference semifinal in last season against Midlothian, but the final against Dinwiddie was cancelled due to time running out prior to the region tournament. Powhatan athletic director Tim Llewellyn noted that the weather is one the thing that cautions him about the proposal. “I’m mixed about it,” he said. “We don’t ever get all 20 games in.” Llewellyn noted that he would prefer the doubleheaders be played as part of a Spring Break tournament as opposed to the mandatory Saturday games. If the proposal is adopted, he said he hopes teams would use those extra games to develop more pitchers. “It would get more kids used to pitching and if it is used to develop players, then it’s a positive,” he said. “But, how many will use the games that way?”

Powhatan’s indoor track team poses at Fork Union Miliary Academy during the Jerry Cutright Invitational. Both Ashley Trevillian and Cooper Schardt won events during the meet at FUMA.

Powhatan indoor track grabs two wins at FUMA By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

ust prior to the most recent round of snow that hit the area, the Powhatan indoor track team competed against Fluvanna, Fork Union, Louisa, Orange and Western Albemarle at the Jerry Cutright Invitational at Fork Union Military Academy. The Indians were able to grab two wins at the prestigious event, along with several top finishes. “This meet was good in the sense that it was the first indoor meet that all of the athletes could participate in,” coach Hedy Keller wrote in an email. “The last indoor meet was only attended by athletes whose parents could drive them because of the snow.” On the girls side, Powhatan’s Ashley Trevillian won another jump-off to take home first place in the high jump with a mark of 4-feet, 9-inches. Madelyn Turner was 11th in the same event with a jump of 4-feet, 2-inches. In the 1000 meters, Brooke Dippold was second with a time of 3:39.20. Alexis Atkinson was fourth with a 3:51.77, Alexis Elzey was sixth with a 3:56.23 and Gina Girgente was 12th with a 4:19.80. Lindsey Fanz finished second in the 1600 meters with a 5:51.54, while Caileigh Dintino was fifth with a 5:58.99. The 4x800 relay team also finished second with a time of 10:54.37, while the 4x200 relay team was

they drained those threes.” Maiolo stopped the run with a 3-point shot of her own, to which the Mustangs answered immediately with one of their own. It was a run of six scoring plays beyond the arc. Powhatan started its comeback with a 6-0 run to end the first quarter and then a

fifth with a 2:05.11. Carly Dolan was fourth in the 3200 meters with a 15:23.47. Katlyn Mayo finished fifth in the long jump with a leap of 14-feet, ¾ inches. Julia Sherpa was 18th in the same event with a 10-foot, 10-inch jump. Mayo was also eighth with an 8.15 mark. Sami Pleasants was right behind her teammate with an 8.30 for ninth, while Alexis Atkinson was 16th with an 8.76. Ariana Moyer finished eighth in the 55 hurdles with an 11.50. Cameron Wingfield rounded out the girls contingent with a shot put throw of 21-feet, 3-inches. On the boys side, Cooper Schardt led the way for the Indians with a time of 11:01 to win the 3200 meters. Noah Allen was sixth in the event with a 12:53.93. In the shot put, Blake McCoy had a toss of 37feet, 11-inches, while Jack Leipertz was 12th with a 33-foot, five-inch throw. The 4x800 relay team was fourth with a 9:35.45. Brandon Eacho finished sixth in the 1000 meters with a time of 3:06.05, while John Cavedo was eighth with a 3:07.83 and Palmer Johnson was 19th with a 3:40.10. Antonio Reyes finished seventh in the high jump with a five-foot, two-inch jump. Reyes also competed in the long jump, where he

3-point play from Maiolo to open the second, making it a 9-0 run in total. After scoring 21 points in the first quarter, the Mustangs went cold from the field and were held to just five points in the quarter. By halftime, Powhatan had trimmed the deficit from 16 points to just three. As the second half opened, the Indians’ hot streak continued, opening the

had a 16-foot, five-inch leap. Tyler Roebuck was 26th in the same event with a 13-foot, four-inch jump. Reyes was 24th in the 55 meters with a 7.47. Roebuck was also 10th in the 500 meters with a 1:23.48. Leipertz was 16th with a 1:28.80. Gabriel Kerns was 13th in the 1600 meters with a 5:51.65. Jason Davis finished 19th in the 55 meters with an 11.14, while Noah Jarrell wasn’t far behind in 21st with a 12.79. Hunter Whitley was 31st in the 300 meters with a 45.18. Many of the times posted by the Indians at Fork Union were season best times. The snow and multiple cancellations has caused issues for the track team, as the team is running out of chances to have regional and state qualifying times. “The weather has definitely affected our practice schedule,” Keller wrote. “We had Thanksgiving break, then Christmas break, then four snow days including a semi-cancelled meet and now more snow.” The Indians have just three meets before Region 4B meet on Feb. 8 at the Arthur Ashe Center. Powhatan will head to Louisa on Jan. 24 for a Polar Bear Meet, then the Fred Hardy Invitational at Fork Union on Jan. 27. The final meet before the regional meet will be the Jefferson District meet on Feb. 3 at Heritage High School.

quarter on an 8-0 run, including two 3-point shots, one each from Kelsey Mawyer and Maggie Salomonsky. That run gave the Indians its first lead of the game, 31-26. But, Monticello answered with a 7-0 run that flipped the game from a Powhatan lead to a see-saw battle for an advantage. The Indians and Mustangs answered basket for basket in the fourth quarter, with the Mustangs scoring back-toback baskets to take a 43-39 lead. Maiolo then converted a 3-point play to trim the deficit to just one point. Then, Monticello went to the line and made one of two free throws to take a two-point lead. Powhatan’s Charlotte Kramer sank a basket with 30 seconds left to tie the game, which set up Maiolo’s heroics.

Maiolo led the team with 20 points. “She’s a great leader,” Henderson said of her senior point guard. “We’re lucky to have her. For her to make that basket at the end was pretty exciting.” It isn’t the first time that the Indians have come from behind this season, and the team is building up valuable experience in the stretch run to the postseason. “In the playoffs, I know it’s going to be tough,” Maiolo said. “Other teams are scouting us and finding our weaknesses. But, I know that we’re going to pull together and work even harder at practice.” Powhatan traveled to Fluvanna and won 34-28 on Jan. 19 and hosted Western Albemarle on Jan. 20 in a battle for the top spot in the district. The Warriors won 40-24.
