Supervisors take closer look at housing With decision on new apartments looming, board looks to county’s current comp plan By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The question of allowing a proposed

apartment complex to be built in the county was front and center again last week as the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors looked at the larger issue of housing. The board met on Tuesday, Feb. 20 for the latest in a series of workshops to review the Powhatan County 2017 LongRange Comprehensive Plan. This meeting, which was one of two comprehensive plan

Snead

Hertzler

workshops the board held last week, was dedicated to reviewing Chapter 5 of the plan, which deals with housing. As with other board meetings recently, a significant

number of people attended the workshop and used their time during the public comment period to talk about their reasons for or against the apartment complex as well as the overall state of housing in the county. The issue of the apartments has been building for weeks and was set to come to a head at the meeting on Monday, Feb. 26 , when the board was scheduled to hear KCG Devel-

opment LLC’s application to rezone a 26 -acre property so it could build up to 204 multifamily dwellings. This meeting happened after press time. Well over 130 people had attended the planning commission’s meeting on Feb. 6 , at which time the four members present agreed with a staff recommendation and voted unanimously against KCG’s applicasee HOUSING, pg. 3 }

POWHATAN – When invited to come and speak to Pocahontas Middle School students in recognition of Black History Month, special guest speaker Dr. Delmar P. Wright said he had any number of topics from which he could choose. He could have chosen to talk about black men and women who broke ground in various fields, such as Dr. Charles Drew, a pioneer in blood storage techniques who helped increase the shelf life of blood for blood transfusions, or Dr. Daniel

Hale Williams, one of the first physicians to perform open-heart surgery in the United States. He could have talked about Garrett Morgan, who invented the first automatic three-way traffic signal system, or Madame C.J. Walker, who was orphaned at 6 , married at 14, widowed at 20 with a 2-year-old daughter and making $ 1.50 a day as a laundress but went on to become the first female selfmade millionaire in the United States because of a system of hair care products she created for black women. In education, he could have talked about Mary McCleod Bethune, one of 17 children of former slaves, who started the Daytona Beach Literary and Industrial School for Training Negro Girls, which later became BethuneCookman College. Any one of those major achievers in black history would have made for excellent lessons for to-

County farm gets turn in ‘Homeland’ spotlight By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – For Powhatan fans of the television show Homeland who have been watching trying to spot familiar places in Richmond where the seventh season was being filmed, there is one location that is closer to home than many will realize. A Powhatan farm that served as the set for a conservative pundit and talk show host hiding out from the U.S. government could already be spotted in the early episodes of the season. For almost the entire month of October 2017, Landon and Kendall Graham and their children turned their house and a good portion of their farm over to the production team for filming of Homeland, which airs on Showtime. Landon Graham said he was approached in September 2017 about using his rural property to serve as the location for the hideout, which in the show is supposed to be somewhere in West Virginia. “They wanted something that looked like West Virginia because that is where the scene was supposed to be. But getting to West Virginia is a nightmare so it’s better to be near Richmond,” he said.

A scene from Showtime’s Homeland featuring Jake Weber as Brett O’Keefe was filmed at a Powhatan County farm.

In the show, after an attempted military coup against the administration of U.S. President Elizabeth Keane (played by Elizabeth Marvel) and a crackdown of government personnel and media, right-wing media personality Brett O’Keefe (Jake Weber) is on the run. In the season premiere, which aired Feb. 11, O’Keefe’s number seemed to be up

when he was captured, but in actuality, he was taken to a safe house where he could continue to broadcast his tirades against the president. The production crew used the house and area immediately around it, the long gravel driveway leading up to it and some of the forest land on the propsee HOMELAND, pg. 6 }

Housing Continued from page 1A

tion. But the ultimate decision regarding the request is with the board of supervisors. When the discussion on the chapter on housing began at the Feb. 20 workshop, chair Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, reminded the audience that the comprehensive plan is a general framework about housing, not a zoning ordinance. “We are required by law in the commonwealth to look at the comprehensive plan every five years to make sure that what it says about our future is actually what is going on on the ground and citizens like yourself want it to be 15 or 20 years from now,” he said.

Comprehensive plan Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, started the discussion about the comprehensive plan by pointing out what had been changed in the section from what it was in 2010 to the current draft. One of the changes was adding a section on Aging in Place, which is intended to address the fact that a large section of the county’s population is projected to be over 6 5 in the future, he said. According to the draft comprehensive plan, in 2015, 14.8 percent of the county’s residents were age 6 5 years and over, an increase from 8.4 percent in 2000. By 2040, the Virginia Employment Commission estimates that 21 percent will be age 6 5 years or older. Another section was added regarding Reinvestment in Existing Housing, which is to encourage rehabilitation, maintenance and upgrades of existing homes to ensure they continue to be desirable places to live in the future. According to estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau cited in the comp plan, 44 percent of the county’s housing stock was built before 1990, and 8.5 percent of the housing stock was built before 196 0. Older homes are often less energy-efficient than new construction and may not have the amenities today’s homebuyers want. Reinvestment in aging housing stock can help ensure that older subdivisions remain desirable places to live. “Largely that is going to be a function of private industry, but the county could have a role in facili-

tating that,” he said. In a discussion on affordable housing, Larry Nordvig, District 2, pointed out that the comprehensive plan defines affordable housing as that which residents with incomes at or below the area median income can afford, provided they pay no more than 30 percent of their gross income for gross housing costs, including utilities. The board had a discussion about how much affordable housing is available in the county and whether or not what is available could be defined or accepted as workforce housing. Billy Melton, District 4, recommended adding back in a paragraph that gave some specific figures regarding area income and key jobs in the county as a source of solid information regarding the issue. The discussion led into another point, this time made by Larry Nordvig, District 2, that affordable housing seemed to be such a high focus in the objectives and strategies in the chapter that it wasn’t clear there should also be an emphasis on all housing. The board agreed to change the objective to make it less focused on only affordable housing and more focused on diverse housing. The board also discussed an objective aimed at pursuing diverse housing in areas where public utilities exist or are planned. In particular, they looked at a strategy about targeting mixed-use developments consisting of a commercial space on the ground floor and apartments or condominiums above the first floor. Chair Carson Tucker, District 5, suggested changing the word “target” to “consider” and making it part of the objective so they don’t lose the idea “but we’re not shoving it down anybody’s throat.” As the board was going through and striking whole strategies and sections, Nordvig questioned why the board of supervisors was striking all of the work done by the planning commission. He also wondered why the planning commission is writing strategies when the board has its own strategic plan and what was being done to make sure they didn’t contradict each other. David Williams, District 1, pointed out it is the supervisor’s jobs to go through what the planning commission presented to them and be highly criti-

cal to make sure it is right. “We are fallible; we do miss things. This is a voluminous document and to give it the attention we are giving it now, as the chairman is doing, going paragraph by paragraph, ensures that we are going to get it right,” he said. “At least then we understand what we’ve got with this document, where it is our document for planning going forward in this county, what we are going to look like for the next 20 years. It doesn’t bother me that we are making changes. That is part of the process.” Tucker also pointed out that it is a working document, and if supervisors or the public have input as they move through the review, they can still consider all of those opinions.

Public comments During the workshop’s two public comment periods, 10 people spoke at the beginning of the meeting, most giving reasons why they are opposed to the apartment complex, and 12 people at the end of the meeting. In the second public comment period, some of the comments touched on the apartments, including one in favor of them, but others focused on growth as a larger issue. Some of the points made by the public included: Don Silberbauer pointed out that county staff and the planning commission have already agreed the apartment complex development is proposed in an inappropriate location for the use. Since the company has yet to finish any projects, it has no track record the county can examine either on the quality of the project or how it is maintained. Approving it would also send a message to other developers that Powhatan is fertile ground for these types of projects. Kathleen Stills said she came to Powhatan in 1993 because of the quietness and rural nature of the county. She is opposed to the apartments because she felt the issue was being rushed. She spoke again in the second public comment period about working hard and saving to buy her home and the satisfaction of that achievement. Jim Carver voiced his opposition to a potential motel/ hotel being built near the intersection of Routes 522 and 6 0.

Powhatan Elementary School invited Bright Star Theatre to perform for its students for the school’s Black History activity for the month on Feb. 9. Bright Star performed “Let Freedom Ring” for grades three to five and “Meet Dr. King” for kindergarten through second grade.

Ralph Earnhardt also spoke about the motel, saying he selected hotel sites for over 20 years and “there is no way that that location or that proposed motel meets any criteria to become a successful entity.” Kelly Smartschan spoke against the location of the apartments because of the property’s proximity to Powhatan High School and the daycare her family uses for childcare. Julie Rutkai spoke about how traffic would be affected by growth that is too fast. She specifically mentioned the already harrowing condition of Huguenot Trail, including citing a fatality on the road earlier this month, and the danger of adding even more vehicles. She spoke again later talking about the high cost of community services and the demand an apartment complex would put on it. Eleanor Hertzler questioned the impact of the cost of the apartments. Going by the developer’s math that the project would bring .33 children per unit, she said it would be an impact of $ 817,256 . Going by a Census Bureau figure of 1.8 children per household, that represents more than $ 3.9 million in education costs, she said. These costs would be far greater than the real estate taxes that might be collected from the apartment complex. John Delong said he was opposed to the county opening up the door to high density development and turning it into another Chesterfield. He said he would like to limit development, while what he sees in the comp plan is a lot of expansion. “I know the reality is we can’t move here and close the door behind us, but I think we can sensibly slow down growth so we can expand our commercial base and look at taxes, for those of us who have residential taxes, try to address that situation by bringing the right businesses here,” he said. Steve Mulherin said he was speaking to high density housing and the idea that there is an emphasis in the comprehensive plan moving toward that. He referenced the public comments at the planning commission as an example of the people who want to keep Powhatan as a bedroom community. He implored the board to consider the lifestyle their constituents want to keep when working on the comprehensive

plan. Bobby Gray talked about the drain the apartment complex would be on law enforcement and said the property taxes the county would expect from renters’ vehicles would likely not be forthcoming unless they are forced to register. Andrew Snead talked about recent graduates and even young military personnel who want to live in the county where they grew up but can’t find affordable housing. Not all millennials want single family homes. He said he wants to see sensible growth, but he doesn’t want people excluded. Stephen Barham immediately followed and said when he was young, he couldn’t afford to live where his parents lived. The natural progression is that young people get older and build their assets to better their position in life and options. Kirby Burch moved to the county more than 40 years ago when the vision was life in a rural county. He said he has seen one comprehensive plan after another emphasize growth and development that residents say they don’t want but supervisors keep approving. If the board wants to keep Powhatan rural, it needs to start now by turning down the apartments and the motel and fighting high density housing, he said. Although it wasn’t a public comment, Nordvig gave a lengthy speech during the board comment period. He said the board keeps tripping over the same problem, which is that residents don’t like what the supervisors are

doing. He said he also doesn’t like the way Powhatan is developing. He said the board of supervisors, including himself, hasn’t listened to what residents are asking for, which is a rural feel, slow and smart growth, smooth traffic, a low crime rate, reasonable student-toteacher ratios in the classrooms, no high-density communities, no Chesterfield sprawl, no cheap motels, and no Section 42 or Section 8 housing. Based on feedback, he had three recommendations: have an issue-identification based approach to housing development; slow down until the proper balance between residential and commercial development is reached, and encourage reasonably paced economic development first and rooftops later. He ended by saying the type of housing the board should focus on should be dictated by residents. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

once attended there and the young people still getting an education within its walls. Built in 1937, the institution housed there started as Powhatan Colored School. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name would change again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to Pocahontas High School around 1941; to Pocahontas School somewhere around 1950, when an elementary wing was added, and finally to Pocahontas Middle School in 196 9, when the school district became fully integrated. When the school was planning its Black History Month activities, instead of having a â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-and-done assembly we wanted it to be something authentic that

would be of value to the students and to also commemorate the ending of this era,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Snead, project coordinator. The first part of the project involved inviting Pocahontas alumni to come and film short videos where they share their experiences with students. Many of the alumni talk about what it was like in a time of segregation, which is something that some students canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wrap their heads around, Snead said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very important for our students who have grown up in a completely integrated society. All of these students had a black president for probably one of their first memories of the presidency,â&#x20AC;? Snead said. The videos were shown to students in their classrooms and can also be viewed online at https:/ / flipgrid.com/ e1df9c. After the videos were shown in the classrooms, the second part of the project has been to create videos with current students who talk about their experiences now and maybe even draw some parallels between the different timeframes, Snead said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, in our society, the stories that we hear are very limited. A lot of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get lost. The top goal of this project is to make sure that the stories of people in this community donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get lost,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are not written down in a textbook, and the experiences of people in Birmingham, Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement are different than those in Powhatan.â&#x20AC;? Earl Hobson, Class of 1958, said in his video that

he still has many memories from Pocahontas, where he and his four siblings attended school. He said his mother also attended the school and was one of three students in the first graduating class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The school does not look like it did when I attended. When I attended, there were approximately four basic classrooms. The teachers had to improvise and provide space for us in the auditorium or agriculture building or wherever they could find,â&#x20AC;? he said. Hobson said that attending Pocahontas prepared him for military service, college, his career and his life. Margaret Manning, Class of 1942, said she was part of the first four-year graduating class. Manning talked about living near the school, which meant she never had a ride to school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All four years, rain, hail, sleet, storm, I walked to school. The bus passed me but they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let me ride,â&#x20AC;? she said. She went on to get a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in education and taught for 39 years, enjoying each bit of it. While a student at Pocahontas, she said she read every novel in the library, including reading â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gone With the Windâ&#x20AC;? in three nights. Gayzelle Taylor, Class of 196 5, talked about teachers who could be strict but believed that all can learn, recognized religion and family values in raising a child and respecting elders and your classmates. Jerretta Funn Hatcher was one of 24 students in the Class of 196 9, which was the last class to graduate from a predominantly black school before the complete integration of the school system in Powhatan. The school prepared her for college and life, including a career with the state government for 33 years before she retired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pocahontas High School was a small school in stature and had few students overall, but we had caring and loving teachers who encouraged us to do the best with what we had and what we attempted to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. Geraldine Funn Woodson attended Pocahontas High School until 196 9, when she moved out of the county. She talked about the great educators of the school and how they encouraged students to get an education and know that they could accomplish anything they strove to achieve. Woodson said that her hope for the future is that regardless of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, people recognize that they need each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to help each other and stand together as one so the world will be a better place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Togetherness is what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about,â&#x20AC;? she said.

day’s youth. But Wright, who himself was the first black deputy in Powhatan County, decided to go a different route when he spoke to two groups of students during Black History Month assemblies held on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at the middle school. “We could talk today about who they were and what they achieved. But if we want to connect them to the future, we must talk more about what they were and how they achieved,” said Wright. For the students there who might be thinking they want to live for today rather than thinking about their futures, Wright reminded them “it’s not about age, it’s all about attitude,” he said. What caused these individuals to achieve greatness in their own rights, make significant contributions to the United States, to society, to their communities and to the world was that they were purpose-driven. And having a purpose doesn’t have age restrictions, he said before challenging the students to “find friends that are enemies to your weaknesses.” “They should be the

people that agitate you, aggravate you, frustrate you, irritate you until you make change and you become all that you can be and achieve your potential, your purpose and your value in life,” he said. Other characteristics these people showed were being perpetually motivated; patient; determined and not deterred by disappointment, discouragement, stress, distractions or doubting Thomases; unwilling to give up or give in; selfmotivated; sincere, and willing to sacrifice themselves and their time for the benefit of all mankind. Wright talked to the students about his early years and how when he was their age, black people in the United States were still sitting in the backs of buses, going to separate restaurants, using separate water fountains and bathrooms, and going to separate beaches and hotels. Wright grew up in Powhatan County and graduated from Powhatan High School. In 1976 , he was hired by then Sheriff Nelson Batterson as the county’s first black deputy sheriff. Wright went on to serve with numerous agencies during his 30-year career in law enforcement and current-

ly serves as an assistant professor of criminal justice for Saint Leo University at its Fort Lee location. “I entered law enforcement because I saw many injustices and unequal treatment under the law, and I didn’t want to stand on the sidelines and just watch. I wanted to get in and become part of the criminal justice community. I may be one person, but even one person can make a difference,” Wright said. Andrew Snead, who coordinated the Black History Month program, said he thought Wright’s message for the students was timely and appropriate for the age group about how they can prepare for their futures and make an impact on the world as individual citizens. Snead said he asked Wright to speak to the students because he is a dynamic speaker but also because it is important to build positive relationships with law enforcement. “With all of the things going on in our society, it was for students to see a successful law enforcement professional who is a person of color and make those connections,” Snead said. “We have wonderful law enforce-

erty, Graham said. A neighbor, Tony Payne, also supplied parking on his property for the production crew. Graham’s family was relocated to a hotel for the month, which he said they loved but he isn’t looking to repeat anytime soon. “It was not unpleasant but I was relieved when it was over. In a couple of years I would consider doing it again, but right now I need some time to catch up on things,” he said. Graham visited the farm every day to take care of his horses and look in on his grandfather, who has since passed away. During his visits, he said he was pleased that everyone involved with the show that he met was respectful and nice. “Everywhere I went I was treated well. I didn’t meet a single person I didn’t like,” he said. Graham said he had a few conditions for using the property. His horse and his grandfather had to be allowed to stay on the property. Additionally, he has six cats and they weren’t moving. They got a reputation on set for stealing food, and some of them might even be visible in the show. While Graham had no intention of trying to become involved in the production behind or in front of the camera, he did end up taking on a role in addition to allowing them to use his property. For most of the production, he was hired as a snake catcher. “They saw one black snake and they were terrified. They paid us $ 300 a day just to walk around catching snakes. Nobody ever caught a snake. They saw one and the rest of the time nobody ever saw one,” he said, adding that two other neighbors took on the role of snake catcher a few days he couldn’t do it. Graham said he has never watched the show, but visiting the farm during this time was a nice treat for his fatherin-law, Chris Isenberg, who, along with his wife, has been a fan of the show since it began. Isenberg said he visited the set twice. The first time, he arrived late and didn’t get to see what he was most interested in, which was the behind-the-scenes efforts that went into making the show. However, the visit was redeemed when

he got to meet Mandy Patinkin, who was leaving after the day’s filming was done. “What a peach of a fellow – just a really nice guy. He could not have been more gracious. He was extremely appreciative of Landon for making the property available for them to do this. He was just a first class gentleman. I got to meet him and take my picture with him,” Isenberg said. The second time he visited several weeks later, he walked around set and even found himself a quiet nook inside the house from which to watch filming. He said he made himself as small and inconspicuous as possible and watched the crew film a scene in the living room. “It was just an awesome, awesome experience to watch them do the takes and retakes and watch the assistant producer do the organizational things she needed to do to get where they wanted to be. It was very impressive,” he said. Not having previous experience with the filming process, Isenberg said there were a number of things that surprised him, such as how organized everything had to be and the sheer volume of people it took to make it all happen. “It was just hundreds of people that it took to do this. Not in the show but all the support people. That was just amazing,” he said. “I had no experience with it, but I would have thought maybe it would take 25 or 30 people to help them do what they needed to do. I had no idea of what was involved. I am talking five or six tractor trailers were parked in their front field and had all of the equipment that was needed.” Graham said he invited a few friends to the set, including Landy Pavalonis of Powhatan, who ended up becoming an extra on the show. During his visit, Pavalonis said he asked a member of the production crew if they needed anyone and was directed to apply on Facebook. About half an hour after he applie he received a reply and ended up being cast as a tactical FBI agent for filming at the farm. “When they gave me the role of Tactical FBI I had to learn real quick how to act and perform as a real life FBI agent. They had a real life military veteran trained specialist teaching us on the spot how to properly perform for our role to make it look as real as possible,” said Pavalonis, who works as a

Landy Pavalonis of Powhatan went to visit his friend Landon Graham’s property when it was being used for filming and ended up being an extra on Homeland.

senior associate with KPMG. The experience didn’t end with the farm. Pavalonis said he was cast as a major in the U.S. Air Force for a ceremonial scene shot in Richmond and this weekend was scheduled to portray a capitol police officer in another scene. As much as he has enjoyed the opportunity to try acting, he said it was getting to see the magic behind the scenes of putting the show together that he found fascinating. “A 30 second scene could take all day.” Pavalonis said his employer worked with him on taking the time off for filming and he appreciated that “they allowed me to chase a dream of acting if only for a few days.” He added that he loves his job, but if the opportunity came up to do some smaller rolls again and his schedule allowed, he would love to do it. Graham said he watched filming a few times as well when he was at the farm. He recalled seeing his house looking heavily damaged after an action scene and reminding himself it was a fake faç ade the production crew used. “It was very convincing. I had to look very close to see the extra wall,” he said. Some of his own lawn furniture got mixed up with the set pieces and were destroyed during the production, but he

said it wasn’t anything to get upset over. Isenberg noted that watching Homeland when you know it was filmed in Richmond and surrounding areas adds a different dimension to the experience. “Watching a television show is similar to when you are reading a book. You are following the storyline in your mind and you are paying less attention to the surroundings,” he said. “Now we are finding we have to watch the show two or three times because one minute you are trying to figure out where something is and the next minute you are trying to follow the storyline.”

Black History Month offers all ages the chance to learn By Laura McFarland News Editor

he world is so unpredictable, and the way we react to it makes it sometimes seem even more erratic. One day something can make you cry in sadness; another day it can be a source of strength. This month, as the nation celebrates Black History Month, I had just such an experience. It started the weekend before last. After finishing work on Friday, I packed up the car and drove down to North Carolina to spend time with two wonderful women I have known for several years. Upon arriving, when they met me at my car to help retrieve my stuff, one noticed I had been crying. She asked me what was wrong. I simply told her, “Martin Luther King Jr. died.” And do you know what she said? “Were you listening to one of your podcasts?” Bingo. On the drive down, one of the topics I chose for the drive was the Stuff You Missed in History Class podcast on the Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike of 196 8. I knew of the strike but wasn’t familiar with many details. I definitely knew that it often is overshadowed by the assassination of Dr. King, who was in Memphis, Tennessee, that spring to help the sanitation workers in their quest for better safety standards, a decent wage and recognition of their union. It’s been just over 50 years since that strike began – the result of years of neglect and abuse of black employees that culminated with the death of two sanitation workers, Echol Cole and Robert Walker, who were crushed to death by a malfunctioning garbage truck while seeking shelter from the rain. Dr. King visited Memphis a few times during the

strike before his final visit. Ahead of a march that was planned for April 5, he gave a speech on April 3 now known as “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” It’s a long and varied speech that covers many topics but keeps coming back to a few main points. One was that the people of Memphis needed to stand behind the sanitation workers in action as well as in talk. Another point was that — despite the dangers he had faced in the past and the very real threats to his life — Dr. King was exactly when and where he wanted to be. At the end of his speech, you can hear in his words that he had doubts he would live long enough to see the fulfillment of this fight for justice for people of color in the United States: “We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live — a long life; longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land. So I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.” Even if the worst happened and he lost his life, he was at peace with it because he knew others would struggle on in his place. The next evening, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. And even though it has been just one month shy of 50 years since that tragic day, I found myself silently crying for a man who knew the road ahead was fraught with peril and set out on the journey anyway. A few days after my return from North Carolina, I

had the opportunity to attend a truly excellent Black History Month program held on Feb. 21 at Pocahontas Elementary School. In addition to beautiful performances by the school’s jazz ensemble and combined choruses, the event featured keynote speaker Dr. Delmar Wright, who had a great message for the students about how their attitudes will influence their futures. Near the end of his speech, Dr. Wright referenced the sanitation workers’ strike and that same speech. But rather than dwell on the sadness of these words, Dr. Wright turned this moment into one of hope. He challenged the students to be the best they can be, combine their words with action, dedicate their lives to their dreams, expect difficult times, have faith and fight tomorrow, inspire others to join them on their journey, let their lights shine every day, never say “I can’t,” put their best foot forward, overcome all obstacles, run the race with patience, stand strong, use all of their talents, have purpose and have perpetual self-motivation. Because being a catalyst for change isn’t restricted by age. I’d like to think of this as some cosmic coincidence that had me hearing these same words just days apart in totally different situations – and I won’t totally discount that idea – but the truth is there was a connection in Black History Month. This is a month meant to remind us to celebrate black history and culture and pay homage to the men and women who paved the way to a better tomorrow in their blood, sweat and tears. It’s an opportunity to learn about people and events that may not be as famous, as well as learning something new about parts of history you already thought you knew well. And as Powhatan schools have shown in the last month, it is an opportunity to teach our young people where we have been so they have a better perspective on how we should move forward.

Guest commentary

PCPS dedicated to school safety By Dr. Eric Jones Special to the Powhatan Today

Editor’s note: The following message was sent to families of students who attend Powhatan County Public Schools by Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, in the wake of the mass shooting that stole 17 lives on Feb. 14 in Parkland, Florida. Powhatan County Public Schools is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for our students and your children. With recent events in the forefront of our community’s thoughts, below is some information about security and safety in our schools. Safety procedures – Each school, and the division, has a crisis management plan that is a based on best practices from Department of Criminal Juvenile Services, the Virginia Department of Education and local law enforcement. Our staff is trained on procedures within the plans. Students and staff participate in drills throughout the year. In addition, each school has a safety committee that meets quarterly; the division has a safety committee that meets quarterly with local fire, police and state police; and the school board has a school health advisory committee that meets quarterly. Each of these committees provides information to maintain the safety of our staff and students. We have recently implemented additional safety measures at the schools, including buzzer systems, camera upgrades, and the Identakid sign-in system. We are appreciative of the support of our WatchDOGS at the elementary schools, and more recently at PMS. Local law enforcement – The school division greatly appreciates the cooperation of the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Department to provide for the safety of our students. We have three full-time School Resource Officers as well as the support of our on-duty

officers throughout the school day and during extracurricular events. Communication – Communication between schools and the community is vital to the safety and security of our students. We encourage all stakeholders to share safety concerns with school-based administration and central office staff. We also have an online anonymous reporting system, Silence Hurts, that is monitored during the school day at PMS and PHS for our students to report school-based concerns. Finally, in the event of an emergency, we will use the usual notification tools (school messenger, social media, news outlets, and division website) to provide communication with families. Support – Many of you may have questions about how to address concerns about safety with your children. Our school counselors are available for your student during the school day, but here is some additional information for parents and guardians: • Try and keep routines as normal as possible. Children gain security from the predictability of routine, including attending school. • Limit exposure to television and the news. • Be honest and share with them as much information as they are developmentally able to handle. • Let your child know with whom they can talk if they have any questions or concerns. This could be any adult such as parents, teachers, counselors, administrators, etc. • Reassure children that the world is a good place to be, but that there are people who do bad things. Talking to Children About Tragedies (American Academy of Pediatrics) Explaining the News to Our Kids (Common Sense Media) Finally, the administrators, teachers, and staff are committed to keeping our students safe. We know that the entire Powhatan community shares that commitment. Please let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Free Clinic able to help more in need because of donor aid Dear Editor, The Free Clinic of Powhatan continues to gratefully thank the Richmond Memorial Health Foundation for their recent grant to help with the operating costs of the Free Clinic. The clinic is the only medical home where the low income, uninsured residents of Powhatan can receive free health services. The clinic operates on a yearly budget of over $ 350,000, all of which monies must be raised by the clinic. The clinic offers medical, dental, mental health, women’s health services and case management care to over 1,300 registered patients. The Richmond Memorial Health Foundation has continued to help yearly support the clinic since the clinic opened its doors 10 years ago. The mission of Richmond Memorial Health Foundation is ensuring that the Richmond community has access to health care through a commitment to primary care with a focus on gaps in oral and behavioral health services, as well as improved outreach to populations that face barriers to basic health care. How very similar are the actions and beliefs of the Free Clinic. Within the last three years the clinic has expanded its dental program to eliminate a waiting list of over 300 patients that were waiting to be seen by a dentist. Last year, the clinic expanded the mental health program through having a mental health counselor available two days a week and having the services of a psychiatrist. Richmond Memorial Health Foundation was there to help the clinic expand those much needed programs. Again, to all the Powhatan folks if you have the chance, write a note to the Foundation (Richmond Memorial Health Foundation, 4901 Libbie Mill East Blvd., Suite 210, Richmond, VA 23230) and thank them for their continual support and caring about the folks in Powhatan County. Without caring foundations like RMHF there might not be a Free Clinic of Powhatan. Thank you! Connie Moslow Executive Director Free Clinic of Powhatan

Indians comeback falls short, season ends By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

t wasn’t a pretty start for the Powhatan girls basketball team in the opening round of the Region 4B tournament at Powhatan High School on Feb. 19. The visiting No. 10 seed Huguenot Falcons jumped out to a large lead and

the No. 7 seed Indians were playing from behind. Powhatan found its rhythm and got close to Huguenot, but the deficit was too great and the Indians season ended in a 44-35 final. The Indians managed only four points in the first quarter, due to errant passes, turnovers and the aggressive nature of the Huguenot defense.

Huguenot led 18-4 after the first quarter. The Falcons didn’t let up as they hit back-to-back 3-point shots in the middle of the second quarter to put the Indians in the largest hole of the game at 19 points. “I think we just looked very intimidated,” Indians head coach Kristy Henderson said. “We were throwing the ball away and making passes out of character.

Some of them looked a little dazed and confused. When we brought them back, made some subs and got them focused on the plan, they were fine.” Powhatan responded with back-toback 3-points of their own from Reese Vandell and Kelsey Mawyer, which gave some energy back to the Indians. Henderson said that the halftime talk see INDIANS, pg. 4B}

Powhatan High School sent two representatives to the Class 4 state indoor track championships on Feb. 23-24 at Roanoke College. Ashley Trevillian and Lindsey Fanz competed in the high jump and the 1000 meters, respectively, and both performed very well for the Indians. Trevillian was third in the state with a jump of 5-feet, 2-inches, a season-best mark for her. “I feel like I did my best and I’m ecstatic about getting third,” she wrote in an email. “But, what matters most to me is

what heights I clear, so I hope to do even better next season and make (5-feet, 4-inches.)” The only two jumpers that out-jumped Trevillian were state champion Taylor Beard of John Handley, who reached a mark of 5-feet, 8-inches. Rene Rosso of James Wood was second in the state with a 5-foot, 4-inch leap. Trevillian recorded a better mark than Addison Sanders of Midlothian, who beat Trevillian in the region meet.

Corrinne Anderson scored 23 points for the Knights in the win, while Elizabeth Carter scored 11 points. “We put early pressure on a young set of guards and rebounded really well,” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot coach Ethan Sill wrote in an email. “We played with lots of energy throughout the whole game.” The Knights then traveled to Richard Bland College in Petersburg for the semifinal game of the VCC tournament and fell to Brunswick Academy in a close contest 49-44. “We jumped out to an early lead with pressure and kept the energy and went

into high jump has paid off and I get to compete against ladies that have put in just as much effort,” she wrote. “I find it really inspiring and rewarding.” Trevillian has had a solid season overall, especially in the postseason. She was second in the region in the high jump and was the Jefferson District champion in the event. She wrote that she made a change to her approach to the bar, which has made a difference. “I mixed up my approach so that I wasn’t just sprinting up to the bar,” she said. “Instead, I now enter a more gradual sprint which, for one, makes my legs less tired and also makes my take off overall more powerful.” As the indoor season comes to a close and outdoor track is beginning to get underway, Trevillian believes that her success from indoor will continue into the outdoor season. “I’m looking forward to continue high jumping

into the half down six,” Sill wrote. “We made a few mistakes that ended up costing us the game. It’s always the small details that make or break a game.” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot tried to turn the tables in the second half, as they outscored the Vikings 12-8 in the third quarter to make it a 36 -34 game. But a 13-point fourth quarter was just enough for Brunswick Academy to sneak past Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. The Knights were also featured in several slots in the postseason honors from the VCC. Anderson was named Player of the Year in the conference, while Anderson, Anna Gestwick and Elizabeth Carter were named first-team All-Conference. It is the second time in the last three seasons that a Knights player has been named Player of the Year. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Brieanna Z immerman was honored as the top player in the conference in the 2015-16 season. Katie Schiefer was a second-team AllConference selection.

and I plan on jumping 5-feet, 4-inches or even higher by the end of the season,” she wrote. Trevillian wrote that this state tournament experience was particularly meaningful for her. “One of the best things about today was that I got to spend it with Coach (Hedy) Keller,” she wrote. “This is her last year with us and states just won’t be the same without her.” Fanz won her heat in the 1000 meters and set a season-best time of 3:06 .47 for an overall finish of seventh in the state. “The state meet was definitely my best performance this season,” Fanz wrote. “I’m extremely thrilled with my seventhplace finish, the highest I’ve ever placed at the indoor state meet and won my heat. I couldn’t have finished my season any better.” Fanz’s time was not far behind Caroline Bolen of Loudon Valley for sixth overall. Bolen ran a 3:05.48. Grace Boone of Pulaski County was the state

champion with a time of 3:01.05. Fanz is a veteran of the state meet and said that it’s an exciting experience for competition. “It’s always exciting and a little nerve wracking to compete against other top athletes,” she wrote. “But, I think meets like this are when you really find out how much you can do, with competitors that can help you push toward your goals.” Fanz said that a new mindset of calmness prior to races has contributed to her success this indoor track season. “I learned how to control my nerves,” she wrote. “I have a bad tendency to psych myself out before big races. However, I really worked hard before and during the meet to stay calm and get more excited for my race. It certainly paid off.” Fanz wrote that she thinks the momentum from indoor track will carry out to outdoor track. “We’re carrying many of our runners into the next season, which means

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot advanced to the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA) Division III state tournament, which began on Feb. 27. The Knights earned the No. 9 seed and played against Veritas School in the opening round of the tournament. If Blessed Sacrament Huguenot defeated Veritas, the Knights would travel to No. 1 seed Carlisle on Feb. 28 for the Division III quarterfinals. The winner of that game would face Roanoke Catholic, Broadwater Academy or New Covenant School on March 2 at The Steward School at noon in the semifinals. Roanoke Catholic and Broadwater Academy faced each other on Feb. 27 and the winner of that game will face New Covenant on Feb. 28. The state finals are scheduled for March 3 at The Steward School. Brunswick Academy, Wakefield, Faith Christian, Christ Chapel, Banner Christian and Timberlake Christian are

the teams in the rest of the Division III bracket. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s girls basketball team didn’t qualify for the VISAA Division III state tournament last season, but did make the tournament in the 2015-2016 season. That Knights team fell to Roanoke Catholic 55-17 in the opening round. The loss to the Celtics followed a 52-36 loss to Richmond Christian in the VCC semifinals. Sill wrote he is confident in his team as they move forward in the postseason. “This is a very resilient group that keeps getting better and better,” he wrote. “They’ve matured a lot of the season.” However, to achieve success in this tournament, the team will need to avoid the mistakes that thwarted them in the game against Brunswick Academy. “We have to continue to get better at paying attention to the little things,” Sill wrote. “Rebounding and defensive communication are going to be key down the stretch.”

we’ll have a great foundation to start on,” she wrote. “There are a lot of runners on the team willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to the next season, which is super important.” While Trevillian and Fanz will both be compet-

ing in the outdoor track season, it is the last one for Fanz. She wrote that she’s excited to make more memories with the team. “I’ve run with some of these people since middle school and we’re really close,” she wrote. “I’m

also looking forward to more opportunities to race fast and I’m sure I’ll see plenty this season. As for my goals, I’m definitely seeking a top-three finish at the outdoor state meet in June, and I’m pushing to break several school records along the way.”

Powhatan United dominates indoor soccer league By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

ften in the normal course of events when it comes to teammates on sports teams, you seldom get to reunite with those players later on down the road. That is not the case for the Powhatan United soccer team. Coaches Chris Rutkai and Joel Russell brought together a team of girls who had played together a few years ago in the Powhatan Soccer Association ranks as well as for the Powhatan Fury and formed an indoor soccer team. The team played at X L Sports World in Midlothian in the U12/ 13 Coed Indoor Soccer League. The idea of the team was to bring together the players, many of whom had gone their separate ways and joined various travel teams in the area, and just have fun playing soccer. For example, Mara Rutkai, Isabella Russell, Reagan Hansen and Morgan Oliver had joined the Richmond Kickers, while Dori Magill had joined the Richmond Strikers and Rachel Webb joined the elite Richmond United, which is the highest-level soccer club offered in the area. Kennedy Dowdy, Sadie Bondurant, Alli Magill, Brynna Tester and Polly Overboe play for the Powhatan Fury, while Colton Welch, the goalie and the

lone boy on the team, plays for the Powhatan Soccer Association. “Most of them had split off,” Rutkai said. “They hadn’t played together in a few years, but they do go to school together. It was really a lot of fun for them. Several of them said that this was the most fun they’d ever had playing soccer.” It turns out that the Powhatan United not only had fun, but absolutely dominated the indoor soccer league. In eight games this season, the Powhatan United went undefeated and scored 125 goals to just 14 allowed. The smallest margin of victory was six goals on Jan. 20 in a 10-4 win over X L United. Every other game, the United won by at least 10 goals. The team won its final game by a score of 20-2. The United also posted two shutouts. Rutkai said that he tried to convince the league organizers to have the team play against all boys teams, as his team was just that good. “I tried to tell (the organizers) that they really needed to play against the boys,” he said. “We played several girls teams and there were some boys teams in our division. There was a division of all boys teams and we really should have been in that division. This isn’t your typical girls team. I wasn’t surprised at all (with how well they did.)” Rutkai said that while the success of the team was great, it was much more im-

portant that the team be an outlet for fun and stress relief, in a way. He said that players on travel teams often feel a lot of pressure to perform, so this team was founded as a way to get away from those pressures of performance. “These girls, a lot of them, playing for these elite teams, they do feel a lot of pressure,” he said. “The clubs themselves put a lot of pressure on these girls, and they play in these top leagues in the state and they feel a lot of pressure. This was just fun. They came out and had fun and as a by-product, they dominated.” Rutkai said that he began being recognized as “the coach of that girls team that destroys everyone” around the indoor soccer complex. “I said, ‘ I’m not really a coach, I’m more like the substitution coordinator’,” he said, followed by a laugh. “I have nothing to do with how good these girls are.” Indoor soccer is a smaller, compact version of the game. Similar to ice hockey, there is no out-of-bounds unless the ball completely leaves the field and the ball can be played off the walls. “You can bang it of the wall and pass it off the wall,” Rutkai said. “That makes it different and fun when compared to outdoor. You can substitute on the fly. They run pretty hard. They don’t play very long and then sub out. We’re continually subbing out. In outdoor, you obviously have a much bigger field and

don’t substitute as much. They just pass and control the ball so well… the other team barely even touched it.” Additionally, the team had a philanthropic aspect to it as the players collected donations for three local Powhatan charities: Powhatan Clothes Closet, Backpacks of Love and Houlagan’s Rest. The team also is planning a volunteer day at Shiloh Farms. “We thought about it, why not turn it into a charity thing too,” Rutkai said. “The girls really embraced that. It was a great way to give back.” While this team was all about fun, Rutkai said he’s also very excited for the future of Powhatan soccer, especially with these players in the pipeline to play on the high school varsity team one day. “As parents, we’re so excited to think ahead to when these girls are on the varsity team,” he said. “They’ll be a force to be reckoned with. It’s going to be fun to see them play. There are a lot of good soccer players in Powhatan. When you look through the rosters of these elite teams in the area, they’ve got several Powhatan girls on them and boys on them, I’m sure. There are some strong girls soccer players in Powhatan, that’s for sure.” Rutkai said that the team will “absolutely” reform in the future. The indoor soccer league at X L Sports World is now officially on notice of what is to come next season.

Roundup: Knights season ends in VCC opener By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

hile the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot girls basketball team continued their season in the state tournament, the boys basketball team was not as lucky. The Knights boys team fell in the opening round of the Virginia Colonial Conference tournament on Feb. 20 to Richmond Christian in a 20-point loss. “We played extremely hard,” coach Chris Hamner wrote in an email. “Defensively, we played the game that we needed to. Offensively, we just could not get shots to fall.” Robbie Kurtz was the Knights leading scorer against the Warriors, scoring 14 points, including three 3-point shots. The Knights were taking quality shots, Hamner wrote, but just weren’t getting the rolls they needed. “We took great shots and really exploited the areas of the floor that we needed to,” he wrote. “We probably shot 20 percent inside the paint and probably had at least six 3-point shots go in-and-out. (Kurtz) had three more 3-point shots go in-and-out.” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s season was an up-and-down ride as the team was hit hard by the injury bug early and had to deal with the cancellations and postponements due to the winter weather that was common this season. “Injuries and the snow made the season a rollercoaster for us,” Hamner wrote. “I am very proud of the way that we stuck together all the way until the end. We had some young guys take huge leaps for us this year. Eighty percent of our scoring came from freshman and sophomores. We avenged two early losses to teams and also (are) the No. 2 seed in our lead, which shows my guys that they can compete

with her team was a message of continuing to fight. “Halftime was a good talk,” she said. “Everyone kind of took a deep breath and got refocused. Everyone knew we had to play with a sense of urgency, with a goal to cut (the lead) in half. And, we did. We were confident after that.” Charlotte Kramer started the Indians momentum train in the third quarter with a basket to make it a 31-15 game. Ali Anderson hit two free throws, followed by Maggie Salomonsky and Calie Rehme extending the run to a 10-0 streak. As the Indians offense came to life in the third and fourth quarters, the disadvantage of playing from that far back was that Huguenot could afford to just kill time and

with the top teams.” The Knights will only graduate two seniors from this team in Dion Butler and Colby Johnson. While these seniors will certainly be missed next season, Hamner wrote that the team returning a large majority of the scoring from this season bodes well for next year. “I think returning 80 percent of our scoring is huge,” he wrote. “Coming into this year we were only returning probably 25 percent. I think the question mark for next year is who is going to step up and take on the leadership roles that we will lose because of our seniors leaving? Dion and Colby are two very special kids that I had the privilege of coaching.” Hamner wrote that despite the struggles this season, there’s a lot to remember from this year. “I will remember our buzzer-beating, down by nine with one minute (left) comeback,” he wrote. “I will remember how fun this group was to coach even though we were not winning. That says a lot about these kids’ character that we were all extremely sad to see the season end.”

LACROSSE As the Powhatan boys lacrosse season gets underway with tryouts and practices, the Indians will have a new, yet familiar, face at the helm of the program. Joe Niles was hired as the new Indians head coach, replacing Chris Muss. Muss was the one who had reached out to Niles to give him the heads up about the opening. “(Muss) reached out to me and said he wasn’t going to be able to coach this year,” Niles said. “He knew I was interested. I applied for it and things being what they were, I got the position.” Niles is a veteran of the lacrosse scene, having been a part of the sport for over 40 years. He started playing lacrosse in upstate New York when he was around 8 years

hold the ball until the Indians either forced a turnover, or fouled. In the fourth, Powhatan’s Kylee Maiolo and Anderson scored baskets to bring the Indians within striking distance of the Falcons at 33-27. Powhatan was still fouling on the Falcons end and Huguenot started going to the line in the one-and-one and eventually the double bonus. While this could have been a way for the Falcons to continue to build their lead, they only made five shots in these opportunities in the fourth quarter. Powhatan continued its hot streak, with Salomonsky and Rehme finding open shots for quick points. Salomonsky put a layup in to make it 41-35, then Katlyn Hicks made a heads-up play to cause a turnover and give the Indians a chance that at the

beginning of the game would have seemed unlikely. But, an errant pass led to a turnover and the subsequent ball control from Huguenot ended the game without an opportunity for late-game dramatics. “We had a few missed free throws and a couple baskets here or there and we probably would have tied it up,” Henderson said. While Powhatan will lose four seniors to graduation in Maiolo, Anderson, Mawyer and Sophie Jaconski, the experience that many of the Indians players earned this season and in the playoffs will serve the team well next season. “I told them, you’re always thinking about the next play or the next game,” Henderson said. “Unfortunately for us, the next game isn’t until next season. But, you’re al-

old and played in recreational leagues as well as in high school and college. He also played club lacrosse in Virginia when he and his wife moved to the state. Niles also helped start Powhatan Lacrosse, the area’s recreational league for the sport. “I just have a pure love and passion for the game,” he said. “I love helping the kids, coaching the kids and teaching them about lacrosse and a little about life. I’ve met so many wonderful people playing this game. I love passing the knowledge on to the kids and the community and help the game grow.” As someone who has been heavily involved with Powhatan Lacrosse, Niles is very familiar with many of the athletes on the Indians roster. He said that that familiarity gives him a head start in some ways with taking on the head coaching role. “I think that’s an added bonus,” he said. “I’ve coached all of these kids. These kids who are now juniors originally played for me when we first started the league six years ago or so. It’s nice. They know me and I know them. It’s nice to have that familiarity. I also know them pretty well as young men and to see them grow in the game and continue to be good student-athletes and good men in the community, that’s been really nice to see.” Niles said that his philosophy is a three-part mindset of success: attitude, effort and commitment. “When you play the game, you have to have a good attitude,” he said. “You have to enjoy it. I’ve coached many teams that weren’t as talented as the other team, but we just out-hustled them and ended up winning just through effort. If you truly want to be good at this game and truly commit to it, you have to be willing to put in the extra time. You just have to be willing to put the time in, commit yourself to the game. When you’re at practice, com-

mit yourself to making yourself better. Don’t come to practice just to practice.” The Indians begin their pre-season on March 2 in a scrimmage against The Steward School at 4:30 p.m.

OLYMPICS On Feb. 19, Powhatan’s Hakeem Abdul-Saboor gave the county an Olympicsized shout out. After competing in the bobsled, Abdul-Saboor said “Hey Powhatan” to the camera during the NBC telecast of the event. In the final heat of the four-man bobsled, Abdul-Saboor and his teammates Nick Cunningham, Christopher Kinney and Samuel Michener finished 13th overall. In the cumulative standings for the event, the quartet was 19th overall with a 3:18.54. Germany won the gold in the event with a 3:15.85. Abdul-Saboor and Cunningham were 21st overall in the two-man bobsled competition.

BASKETBALL Powhatan’s boys basketball team suffered an early exit in the Region 4B tournament on Feb. 19. The Indians traveled to Midlothian and fell to the Trojans 74-59. Deven Van Natter led all scorers with 28 points. Jaylen Hempfield scored 13 points, while Joseph Santiago scored 11 points. Powhatan’s basketball teams were both honored on the All-Jefferson District teams. On the girls side, Kylee Maiolo was a first-team selection. Maggie Salomonsky was named to the second team. Van Natter was a second-team all-district nod, while Austin Washburn was named honorable mention.

ways like we can build off (this game for next year.)” Powhatan finished the season with a 14-9 record in Henderson’s first year as head coach. She said there’s a lot she’ll remem-

ber about this team. “I’m going to think about the commitment, dedication and hard work,” she said. “We made some great memories this year with the

team. It was a great bunch of girls and everyone got along really well. It was a good year of working together and working hard to become better basketball players.”
