Supervisors deny apartment complex rezoning

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – An issue that has been fraught with emotion and public outcry in recent months came to a close last week when the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors voted four to one in favor of denying an application that would have brought up to 204 multi-family dwellings to the county.

School board passes redistricting of elementary schools

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board voted last week to redistrict the county’s three elementary schools for the 2018-2019 school year with little fanfare and no additional public opposition.

The four members present at the meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 27 voted unanimously to approve the Option II redistricting plan that had been recommended by consultant firm K&C Associated and the realignment committee that worked on the project. James Kunka, who represents District 2, was absent from the meeting.

Two weeks earlier, at the board’s Feb. 13 meeting, 10 parents and caregivers of children who would be affected by the change spoke against the proposed redistricting. But at last week’s meeting, the only comments made on the issue came from school board members and Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent.

The board heard at the Feb. 13 meeting that a 21-person committee that had

been working in conjunction with K&C Associated for the last six months chose Option II as the best option for the school district.

The Option II plan involves 63 students leaving Flat Rock, with 31 going to Powhatan and 32 going to Pocahontas.

Another 126 students would leave Powhatan and go to Pocahontas. A total of 189 students would be rezoned.

Option II would put Flat Rock at 79 percent capacity, Pocahontas at 85 percent capacity and Powhatan at 81 percent capacity.

In this option, Pocahontas’ boundary would extend below Anderson Highway starting just west of Old Tavern Road and going all the way down to the county’s southern border, resulting in the move of 126 students. The 32 students from Flat Rock would come from extending the eastern border of Pocahontas.

The 31 students leaving Flat Rock to go to Powhatan would come by extending the latter’s eastern district line in the area from Anderson Highway to near where Rocky Ford and Genito roads meet.

The school district specifically left a couple of weeks after the Feb. 13 presentation to gain feedback from parents and the community and heard from a few parents, Jones said. But he still recommended going with the option chosen by the committee to set the new elementary attendance boundaries.

Chair Joe Walters, who represents District 4, read a statement from Kunka, who was out of state traveling. Kunka wrote that he had not been contacted by any citizens regarding the elementary school boundaries but he recognized the “necessity of changing the boundaries to proactively balance attendance in the three schools has evoked emotional reactions throughout the county.”

He said he is sympathetic to those who feel it is a negative change but added that the county has three wonderful, fully-accredited elementary schools, “each deserving of the chance to prove their excellence to the transfer students.”

By addressing the realignment issue now, each school will benefit by a balanced, uncrowded student population as see SCHOOL, pg. 6 }

Supervisor’s comments during recess broadcasted

By Laura McFarland N ew s Editor

POWHATAN – Amidst all of the drama and high emotions of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ meeting on Monday, Feb. 26, comments from a supervisor that were cap-

APARTMENT Continued from pg. 1

dience and watching on a live video feed had been waiting to hear: “I support the motion from Mr. Williams in denial of the application of rezoning for the following reasons,” at which point he went on to give those reasons.

As soon as he finished, the room broke out in applause, knowing that no matter how the remaining two board members – Angie Cabell, District 3, and chair Carson Tucker, District 5 – voted, the majority was now clearly on the side of denial.

Neither Cabell nor Tucker made any comments at that time, and less than a minute later, the vote took place, with Cabell the lone supervisor voting in favor of the project. Once again, the room broke out in applause.

The hearing and debate of the rezoning case at this meeting took about an hour and 40 minutes and included a presentation by the developers, public hearing comments from 25 speakers and then the supervisors’ comments.

Another tact The project, known as The Reserve at South Creek, would have been situated on about 26 acres of land located at the crossroad of Old Church Road and Carter Gallier Boulevard.

KCG Development had requested rezoning from Heavy Industrial (I-2) with proffered conditions to Village Center Planned Development (VC-PD).

KCG vice president Stacy Kaplowitz had represented the company at the Powhatan County Planning Commission meeting on Feb. 6, when the four members present voted unanimously in favor of denying the project, citing the county staff recommendation and their own opinion that it wasn’t in line with the comprehensive plan.

Kaplowitz spoke again at last week’s meeting, saying her first presentation had focused on the concerns KCG knew members of the community had about the project rather than staff’s recommendation to the planning commission. She said she wanted to show the developers understood the concerns and had done the work to “feel confident and say that what we are proposing is right for Powhatan.” This time around, she focused on addressing the staff report and the planning commission’s acceptance of that report. She addressed three main reasons staff gave for not recommending approval: The project proposes residential densities much higher than recommended in the 2010 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan - Kaplowitz said the rezoning request is consistent with many planning principles associated with Village Residential, the designation given to the property on the Countywide Future Land Use Map. She said the proposed site is surrounded by commercial uses and the apartments would be compatible with them and “in the spirit of the comprehensive plan where it is trying to achieve moderate densities, encourage commercial and function as a transitional buffer between the single family uses and the light industrial and the commercial uses that are adjacent to that property.”

Kaplowitz also said the project would be built into the challenging topography and that 60 percent of the site would stay green, including a 50-foot buffer around the property. Regarding

tured on the county’s official recording when the board was on a break also made some waves.

The board took a break immediately after voting four to one in favor of denying a rezoning application for a proposed apartment complex, which occurred a little over three and a half hours

the density, she cited a county code that says a development integrating sustainable development practices can request an increase by 10 percent in the allowable maximum density. She then laid out all of the sustainable practices KCG was proposing.

The proposed conceptual plan does not exemplify all of the design elements identified in the purpose of the VC-PD zoning district – Kaplowitz said the developers don’t feel the full scope of VC-PD zoning is appropriate for Powhatan, and even though it is the zoning they were requesting, they had scaled back their plans to help preserve Powhatan’s rural character.

The proposal is not compatible with adjacent industrial uses – Kaplowitz pointed out that not only had a daycare center been approved next to an industrial area, but other properties in the vicinity of the proposed development included light industrial, commercial, educational, light commercial and single family home uses.

She also talked again about the low income tax credits, said the project would have no negative impact on the schools, and laid out the economic benefits.

Public comments During the public hearing on the proposal, 25 people spoke – one obviously for the project and 24 against it. The lone public speaker in favor of the development was Beatrice Gallier, whose family owns the land where the development would sit. She said it would address the need for workforce housing in Powhatan for blue collar workers.

She also felt the GALLIER heavy industrial zoning is no longer valid, especially, given the daycare across the street, and that the apartments would provide housing for Powhatan’s future.

The other 24 people who spoke were all adamantly opposed to apartments. Most cited multiple reasons for their opposition, but some of the specific issues addressed by the public were: Darrell Griffin said Kaplowitz didn’t offer any new information to support the project; she just changed her pitch.

On the merits of the case, he said there is no GRIFFIN congruence with the comprehensive plan, a document that is there “so that when emotions and passions run high, we have a road map, we have something to go by that says this is how we want it, this is the way it should be. And when we vary from that, when we depart from that, that’s when we get into trouble.”

Jason Davis said he feels that while not all apartments are wrong, this project is wrong in place and scale. He pointed out the area was developed for heavy industrial and has businesses that fit that description surrounding the site. The South Creek retail development is less than 1 mile away, but if someone

While most of the people in the packed auditorium of the Village Building were clearing out, an obviously upset Angie Cabell, who represents District 3, could be heard through the live streaming video, and then later the recording. Most of the comments were

were to walk to it, they would do it with no sidewalks and no streetlights, and adding those improvements would cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Eleanor Hertzler started by saying she was offended that the developers would say they know what is appropriate for Powhatan. She talked about the projected cost to educate the HERTZLER children that would live in the apartments, comparing the cost to educate .33 children per unit, which is the developer’s figure, versus U.S. Census Bureau standards she has seen of 1.8 children per household.

The projected cost would be a difference of more than $3 million and there would be additional strain on schools already near capacity in some cases.

Dave Bailey said the county doesn’t want to rezone part of its industrial area into residential areas because it will hinder the chances of getBAILEY ting any other industrial businesses in that area.

Jason Musick said he and his wife moved into their dream house across the street from the proposed site a week earlier with their 3-weekMUSICK old daughter and animals. They chose Powhatan because of its charming, rural atmosphere and peaceful way of life.

“It’s been nice to move into a new area and be welcomed by friendly neighbors, but had we known the county welcoming committee would possibly drop a welcoming gift in the way of a 200-plus unit, low-income housing tax credit apartment complex right on our front doorstep, we would have never considered moving here. Had we wanted that, we would have stayed in Chesterfield County; they had plenty of those to choose from,” he said.

Stephen Barham said the apartments are against the comprehensive plan and current zoning; the planning department said no, the planning BARHAM commission said no, and the residents of Powhatan said no.

Joe Parker said he monitored the intersection of Anderson Highway and Judes Ferry Road from 2:55 to 3:15 p.m. one day. Just counting PARKER cars going from Judes Ferry to east or west on Ander-

Cabell mentioned trying to get an item deferred because she “knew what David was going to do. But everybody else cowed to it like every time,” likely

son Highway, he said he counted 117 cars. He also measured the distance from the intersection of Carter Gallier and Old Church roads to the high school and found it was .23 miles, which is too close to a dense cluster of apartments.

Jim Andresakes said he has attended recent board meetings and only heard two people in favor of the project, one of whom was the landowner. Without that call for this kind of public housing, he said the board members need to answer “do you represent the clearly demonstrated wishes of your voting population or do you pose your own personal preferences on what you think Powhatan should be in spite of the wishes and the combined wisdom of the electorate, some of whom you see here today?”

Floyd Greene said the development would use county water and sewer, which the board of supervisors had comGREENE mitted many years ago would be focused on industrial and commercial development. He also took issue with the burden it would put on public safety agencies.

Frank Smolka said he has been in law enforcement for 20 years and witnessed the detrimental effects apartment complexes have had on traffic, schools, law enforcement and first responders. Over time, they become transient in nature, which ties up local resources.

Board comments Three board members offered comments at the meeting before the final vote.

Nordvig said from the start that the rezoning was not a good idea because it would significantly impact traffic, schools, public safety and the rural feel residents cherish.

“We have something very special in Powhatan and I hope you agree it’s worth saving, but the bottom line for me in this whole issue is this, I have never seen such strong, sustained and sincere support from a community as I have witnessed over the last days and weeks. You’re awesome,” he said.

Williams said his concerns are consistent with staff recommendation. The issues to him are that it is outside of the comprehensive plan’s Future Land Use Map and isn’t consistent with the adjacent industrial uses.

He said he promised from the beginning that he wouldn’t approve the project if it did not line up with the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance.

“How we develop in this county is important. We care about the county such that 10, 20 years from now when we are gone, at least when I’m gone, we’ll look back and be proud of the decisions that we made. We’ll say, these guys really were looking ahead. When they did this comprehensive plan, they knew what the constituents of this county wanted,” Williams said.

Melton gave the longest explanation for his vote, saying he had many people ask why he would even consider the apartment complex. He said there is a process county government operates by that gives the opportunity for fair treatment for all, and he will both uphold that and not

see COMMENTS, pg. 8 }

circumvent it by coming out for or against a project before it has gone through that process.

Addressing housing choices, Melton talked about the challenge of providing diverse housing stock as outlined in the comprehensive plan.

He also thanked the people who contacted him and said he weighed their input in his decision as well as a thorough review of the project application, the 2010 comprehensive plan and other relevant research he did on housing.

“I am a big supporter of the current comprehensive plan and its goal to provide housing choice needs for all current and future Powhatan citizens, no matter what socio-economic situation they find themselves in.

The current comp plan was adopted by the board of supervisors, and until a new plan is adopted, this plan is what we must use as a tool to achieve the hosing goals of the plan,” he said, before saying he would support the motion to deny the request.

Other comments Although Cabell and Tucker did not offer comments on the rezoning application during the meeting, they did provide written reasons for their votes.

Cabell shared a message on her Facebook post that she also provided to the newspaper in which she said she voted against the denial for three reasons: she believes housing is foundational and that people cannot move forward if they do not have stable housing; she has received many comments from people in favor of the project, a fact that Melton did not overstate; and she feels that the loudest voices in the room had plenty of people speaking for them and the quietest voices in the room also deserved representation, which she provided.

“I chose not to speak because people would not listen. I am happy to discuss my opinion with you or anyone anytime they are truly interested in dialogue and not just yelling and jeering at me. I hope you can understand that,” Cabell wrote.

“I encourage you to remain active in the governance of this county. We need people to stay involved!”

Tucker did not provide a single statement but instead offered a detailed analysis he had done to help him in his decision that included a pro/con list for the development.

Some of the pros he listed were that it would provide affordable housing for a certain socio-economic section of residents; it aligned with the chapter on housing in the 2010 comprehensive plan, it would create rooftops that commercial enterprises looking for a location would find attractive, it would create real estate taxes in excess of those paid on the undeveloped land, and it would hook up to county water and sewer systems and thus reduce the General Fund subsidization of utilities.

In the con list, he pointed out the current zoning and Countywide Future Land Use Map were put in place for a reason; the project would not carry its fair share of tax burden; it would increase demands for services such as sheriff, EMS, fire, social services, parks and recreation, and schools; it would have a significant traffic impact, the public input showed residents were about 90-10 against the project, and the planning commission recommended denial.

Powhatan man indicted for bigamy

By Laura McFarland N ew s Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan County man was recently indicted for bigamy after his wife began to look into divorce proceedings and learned he was allegedly still married when they had their wedding.

MELTDOWN Continued from pg. 1

mately lead to a heated argument breaking out among board members.

But that is exactly what happened.

The rift happened after David Williams, District 1, began questioning Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, about a timeline of events that had led to a section of the Subdivision Code being taken out without board knowledge and approved without that language in January 2017.

When his questioning started leading toward specific actions taken by Schardein, chair Carson Tucker, District 5, interrupted, saying “we have an understanding we don’t flog our staff in public.”

His interruption was followed by ones from Angie Cabell, District 3, and Bill Melton, District 4, who called Williams’ line of questioning inappropriate.

The situation quickly deteriorated from there with Williams asserting the public had a right to know what was going on and that staff needed to be held accountable and other board members insisting it was a personnel matter and not a matter for public discussion. The mood was heightened by members of the audience who called for allowing Williams to finish his speech and questioning what the board was trying to hide.

After unsuccessfully going the route of procedure in trying to stop Williams’ statements, he ultimately was allowed to finish his comments.

The board then took a vote and the ordinance putting the language back into the Subdivision Ordinance was passed four to one in favor of it. Cabell was the lone vote against.

Correcting an error The purpose of the ordinance up for a vote last week was to correct Section 68-175(E)(5)(C) regarding auxiliary lane warrants in the county’s Subdivision Ordinance.

According to the resolution, on Dec. 19, 2016, the board of supervisors reviewed the proposed Subdivision Ordinance, which contained specific language regarding auxiliary lane warrants, and specifically instructed that the section concerning the turn lanes discussed that day should remain in the ordinance to be presented to the board on Jan. 23, 2017, for approval.

However, the detailed provisions were not included in the version provided on Jan. 23, the exclusion was not noted by staff or noticed by board members, and the code was subsequently adopted without that language.

That meant that the code was defaulting to the minimum standards issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) instead of the more stringent county guidelines in

the detailed section.

It was later discovered that the detailed provisions were omitted and the board decided that it needed to be returned to the Subdivision Ordinance, which was what happened last week.

According to the detailed section that was returned to the Subdivision Ordinance, auxiliary lanes (right and left turn lanes and acceleration lanes) reduce the slowing and stopping of through traffic caused by turning vehicles. The purpose of the auxiliary lane is to enhance safety and prolong the functionality of the thoroughfare road. The lanes are needed whenever the volume of traffic turning at a site entrance is high enough in relation to the through traffic to constitute a potential for disruption. A developer shall submit an auxiliary lane analysis to the county for review prior to approval of a change in land use, or in conjunction with preliminary plan approval for residential uses and site plan approval for commercial or industrial uses. The section then goes on to lay out five specific criteria which may lead to the requirement of auxiliary lanes.

Schardein gave a brief explanation of this timeline before the board opened the public hearing on the ordinance.

At that time, Mark Kronenthal spoke representing Oak Leaf Development LLC, which is the developer of Oak Leaf Estates, located off of Huguenot Trail. Once it is built out, the development will feature 46 high end homes, and only the last four would trigger the VDOT turn lane standards, he said.

He suggested a friendly amendment to the ordinance that would grandfather subdivision applications and related applications that are currently in process. He said it would be an issue of fairness to review them in the same way other applications had been reviewed since January 2017 because the application that was submitted to the county was based on the VDOT standards that have been in place since that time.

Tom Lacheney, county attorney, pointed out that when the subdivision was originally approved, the more stringent turn lane guidelines were in place.

“Their original subdivision approval contained required turn lanes so I am not sure it is the same kind of fairness issue that a new applicant would have that applied based on the missing language,” Lacheney said.

Fairness and accountability After Kronenthal’s request for Oak Leaf Estates to be grandfathered as an issue of fairness, county administer Ted Voorhees said staff had researched and not yet found any other projects reviewed since last

that could be punishable by two to 10 years in prison.

Adams was originally married on June 26, 2004, and he and his wife separated in May 2009, Cerullo said. The couple allegedly went through the divorce process but never finalized it. Adams married again in September 2014. His divorce to his

January that benefited from the more stringent language not being in the Subdivision Ordinance. Schardein agreed with him.

However, Williams immediately questioned the statement. He said he has had discussions about how the approval process worked when the Stonebridge Development near the entrance to Luck Stone

and Walmart was approved. He also raised concerns with the turn lane on Anderson Highway into the new CVS off of Dorset Road and whether it even meets VDOT standards.

“To say that it wouldn’t trip auxiliary warrants, a lot depends on how you approach the project – if you approach the project like staff did and said originally that the Luck Stone entrance was just a private road cul-de-sac,” he said.

He pointed out that Luck Stone Road currently serves Luck Stone and Walmart and will serve Stonebridge and be connected to Carter Gallier Road, meaning it is neither a private road nor the slightly better classification of local road.

“Why is that important? The classification of a road determines your spacing requirements for your entrances, along with the miles per hour. … If you call it a local road, you have lesser spacing requirements,” he said.

Additionally, if the county only looks at the road and not the commercial uses that will occupy the road as part of the development, it will not pick up anything with auxiliary lanes, Williams said. He also pointed out that the CVS turn lanes didn’t even meet VDOT minimum access management standards because the project received a waiver that was supported by county staff.

Regarding the ordinance under consideration that night, Williams said it needs to be done, but it doesn’t address what happened in the meantime. If those intersections are studied and found to need work to make them safer for the public, that then takes taxpayer dollars to do the construction project, he said.

first wife was finalized on March 2, 2015, Cerullo said.

Authorities in Powhatan were alerted to the situation about two months ago because the second wife is now divorcing Adams but learned from his first wife that they were never legally married, Cerullo said.

“That is when (the second

questioning is when other board members began to intervene.

Several times during the ensuing argument among the board members, Williams turned to the audience to gain support, saying they had a right to know what was happening with their local government and telling them to ask why the other board members didn’t want him to speak.

He repeatedly said the county has a problem with accountability and told the audience “you better wake up!”

Cabell called Williams’ behavior inappropriate in discussing staffing matters.

Melton said staff had admitted there was a mistake by taking the section out, but Williams said “it was anything but a mistake.” Melton said staff had been disciplined, which Williams also called into doubt.

Cabell and Melton tried through motions and parliamentary procedure to end the discussion and call for the vote, but Larry Nordvig, District 2, said he would support Williams’ right to speak.

All throughout this, there were outbursts from members of the public who were cheering Williams on.

During the discussion, Voorhees addressed the audience and said he works for the supervisors but the rest of the staff works for him. The staff has “considerable dialogue every day about how to be transparent, thoughtful and to support the goals and objectives of the board of supervisors in the best interest of the citizens,” he said.

Voorhees said he has to straddle the line between what is appropriate in the public debate and what is appropriate in the personnel realm.

“These folks put themselves out there every day trying to do what’s right. It is absolutely inappropriate to dress them down in public about matters that are personnel matters,” Voorhees said. “This whole

wife) called authorities to determine what her status was, and we pulled the paperwork from the clerk’s office and, yes, the divorce wasn’t finalized,” he said.

No trial date has been set yet and Adams was released on bond.

The public is reminded an indictment is not a conviction.

thing has been fully discussed with the board of supervisors for several months.”

Although the original problem with the ordinance happened before he came on staff in Powhatan, Voorhees said staff had admitted to making a mistake and was trying to correct the record.

“And we shouldn’t be using that kind of situation for any kind of personal or political gain. I am not alleging that is happening, but it just doesn’t need to be aired in this way,” he said. “I do apologize to the public, but there are some things that just don’t need to be discussed in a mean spirited way. We think that putting the ordinance back the way it was is going to be protective of the public.”

Williams reiterated he thought the meeting was the place where the board could have this discussion about how staff is functioning and let the public decide about how well they are doing the services they require for the county.

Ultimately, the board voted on a motion made by Melton to adopt the ordinance, bringing the section back into the Subdivision Ordinance, but deferring

the issue of possibly grandfathering applicants until another meeting.

Public hearing Also during the public hearing on this issue, four residents spoke. Floyd Greene reminded the board that the purpose of auxiliary turn lanes is the safety of the public to reduce the chances of a rear end collision, crossing collision or head-on collision.

Anything that can be done should be done to ensure they are put in place where there is even a possibility they are needed, he said.

Don Silberbauer talked about his own efforts to clarify the county’s Subdivision Ordinance regarding auxiliary turn lanes and how a clerical error led to the more stringent guidelines being taken out.

He urged the board to put them back in place.

John Delong said he didn’t entirely understand what happened with the turn lane language, but he wondered if that mistake led to situations that required a solution, who would have to pay to fix them. He questioned where the accountability was in the situation. His comments were echoed by Stephen Barham.

Powhatan Today, March 7, 2018 Constitution is defended in all elections, said Karen Alexander, Powhatan’s director of elections.

She said she is also thrilled to have Goodman as one of her bosses on the electoral board because of her immense experience and how easy it is to work with her.

“I am excited on that standard alone, but it is historical and monumental and long overdue that we have an African American member on our board,” Alexander said.

On a day that was already a moment of triumph for her, Goodman was surrounded by people who expressed only confidence in what she would bring to her new role.

During the ceremony, Cella said he had sworn in many elected and appointed officials through the years and normally he

County Electoral Board.

On Tuesday, Feb. 27, Circuit Court Judge Paul Cella administered the oath of office for Goodman, who is filling the unexpired term of democrat Paula Price, who resigned effective Feb. 28.

Goodman’s term will last from Feb. 28, 2018, to March 1, 2020.

Goodman came into the position with 30 years of experience as an election official at the Smiths Crossroads Precinct. She worked her way up from officer of election to assistant chief to chief of elections.

Protecting the rights of voters is important to her, Goodman said, and no matter what election official role she held, she always worked to ensure the integrity of the voting procedures.

“Every vote counts. It is important to the county and the public. If I cast my vote, I want it to mean something,” she said.

Goodman added she was surprised to be asked to take on the role of being one of the men and women charged with the conduct of fair, free, open and transparent elections that are the foundation of a democratically elected government but immedi-

ately saw it as a positive opportunity.

“In thinking about it, I said that’s a good thing. I had never seen a black person serve on the electoral board in the county.

I thought about it and said, ‘Yes, I will take on that responsibility,’ ” said Goodman, who also is currently serving as the Powhatan Christmas Mother.

The electoral board is made up of three appointed members consisting of representatives from each of the two major political parties recognized in Virginia, with the party of majority on the electoral board being based on the political party of the current governor.

Members serve on a staggered term basis for three-year terms starting March 1 and ending the last day of February each year. This ensures that a majority of the electoral board is familiar with election procedures, said Jeanie Renger, electoral board secretary.

Appointment to the electoral board is determined by the circuit court judge after recommendations have been made by the political party whose seat is up for reappointment, she said.

Electoral board basic duties include the appointment of the director

Cecil Jordan, chair of the electoral board, said he has worked with Goodman since he has been on the board and was impressed with her from the beginning. She was always open and respectful to voters in every situation he witnessed, and she was always prepared with the right numbers at the right time, he added.

“They picked a good person who has worked very hard, independent of who she is, for what she does and accomplishes, and that’s the mark,” he said.

of elections and voter registration, finding and appointing election officials, certifying each election, and at any given time, they should be able to step-in and take over for the director of elections in an emergency.

The electoral board has to strive to keep elections safe and secure, which requires someone with the kind of experience Goodman has, Renger said. Among the qualified names submitted for consideration, Goodman stood head and shoulders above the rest.

“She knows election processes, equipment, and there is nobody that I can think of in the county that would be better able to look fairly and impartially at every question that presented itself to her,” she said.

Those sentiments were echoed by Kathryn Waycaster, chair of the Powhatan County Democratic Committee, who put Goodman’s name forward to the judge and said it was a truly easy decision because of her qualifications.

The electoral board is in charge of maintaining the integrity of every election held in Powhatan County, so it needs the right people with the right ethics and morals on that board to ensure the U.S.

doesn’t feel it is his place to comment.

This case was a little different, he said, because he has known Goodman as a long-time friend, she and her husband did business with him when he still had a law practice, and she even worked alongside his grandfather in a local bank many years ago.

He commended Goodman for being community minded and doing good work in the community and for being a hard worker who does what she agrees to do “efficiently, conscientiously and promptly.”

“Another thing I like about Mrs. Goodman is that she has an excellent temperament,” Cella said.

the county grows, and the county will benefit by avoiding unwanted elements such as using trailers or even needing to build a new school to accommodate students.

Kim Hymel, District 5, agreed the county has three fabulous and accredited elementary schools and they need to be balanced so no one institution is overcrowded and no teacher has too many students in their classes.

“I cannot ask the taxpayers for more money for a fourth elementary school when one elementary school will not be at capacity,” she said.

She also expressed her concern for making sure the bus routes are planned so students are not on the bus too long.

In answer to that concern, Jones said he is considering bringing in a consultant from Versatrans, which provides the computer system for bus rout-

ing, to work with staff this summer on the routing to make sure they are being done as efficiently and quickly as possible.

In this situation, having excellence at all three schools makes redistricting easier in that “we are sending students to an equal or better place than they are right now,” said Rick Cole, District 1.

However, he acknowledged that doesn’t mean it isn’t still tough for individual families.

Walters commended the students, staff, faculty and parents who participated in the realignment committee, who met several times, asked tough questions, were involved in meaningful discussion and were engaged in coming to the best decision possible for Powhatan.

“They did what they could to provide to us the best possible recommendation they could make.

One of the things that spoke to me was the fact that it was not a unanimous recommendation.

It was the best recommendation they felt they could bring forward and I think that is important,” he said.

The need to redistrict was all about providing the best possible learning environment for Powhatan students, Walters said.

He also praised the excellence of the three schools and staffs.

“Even if a student finds him or herself in a different environment, they will still find themselves with educators that care about them receiving a good education,” he said.

After the redistricting was passed, Jones said the school district will begin the process of notifying the families impacted by the realignment with letters.

All three schools will hold open houses to welcome the new families.

Jones said he was also excited to learn the three elementary school PTOs are planning a joint event to show off their schools and welcome new families.

Vision for Powhatan’s future still forming

By Laura McFarland News Editor

L

ast week, I covered one of the most emotionally charged meetings I have yet seen in almost four years of covering the county.

That said, this column is not going to be about that meeting, at least not as readers might expect.

As I write this, I am still neck-deep in writing news stories about what occurred at the meeting. It is my policy to not write an opinion piece on an issue when I am still covering it as an objective news reporter, and that seems even more important when the issue is so highly charged and even contentious.

So let’s talk a little about vision and perspective.

This column will touch on a basic tenet expressed at the Feb. 26 board of supervisors meeting and in numerous meetings in the months that preceded it. The phrase – often used when talking about opposing certain building projects, rapid growth in the county or any new growth at all – was “the Powhatan I love.” It was said in a number of different ways, but it always boiled down to liking Powhatan the way it was and not wanting change.

Now, based on everything I have heard about the time before I started working in the county, Powhatan is already not the county many of those multi-generational and long-term residents once knew, at least not completely.

Some of the residents I have spoken with in the past recalled when the county’s first stoplight was installed.

But what was fascinating was that the same princi-

ple was expressed by people who, by all accounts, could have totally different perspectives – everyone from residents who have lived in the county a few years or less all the way to those who can trace their ancestry back in this area for generations.

It is remarkable how a place can get under your skin and make you absolutely fall in love with it, regardless of how long you have called it home. Powhatan County has that power, as I am sure many residents would agree.

So what’s the point? Issues like some of the ones discussed at last week’s meeting can obviously draw out strong emotions.

The passion some people have shown in their opposition to the proposed apartment complex demonstrated that.

But what about the next project that comes up? Or the one after that?

Regardless of some of the shortcomings it may have, Powhatan is still a desirable prospect for both residential and commercial growth. What do you do then?

The obvious and best answer is to keep showing up to meetings to share your opinions or reaching out to your board of supervisors’ member to let them hear your thoughts. Of course, that may not be realistic for some people’s busy schedules.

Another good option is to help shape the vision of the Powhatan you want to see in the future, and, as luck would have it, that very process is going on as we speak.

Range Comprehensive Plan that the planning commission spent more than a year updating.

Planning commission chair Karin Carmack said it well last year in a column she wrote inviting residents to come participate in the updating process. She described the comprehensive plan as “a plan that guides public policy in terms of land use decisions, transportation, utilities, recreation, and housing. The plan helps direct growth and determine rezonings, as well as helping to create the look and vision for the county. It is the nuts and bolts behind the zoning and subdivision ordinances.”

The board decided last week to put a hold on immediately having more workshops while it puts together a survey to gain more input from citizens on the comprehensive plan. However, that doesn’t mean nothing can be done in the meantime.

The comprehensive plan document can be downloaded on the county’s website at http://www.powhatanva.com/DocumentCenter/View/3165.

If you haven’t done so, I recommend downloading it and reading it.

And if in that document you find a vision of Powhatan County that is different from what you want to see, your supervisors have said they welcome your input. If you have questions or concerns, share them.

Whether you have been here three weeks or 70 years, if Powhatan is the place you plan to stay for the foreseeable future, now is a great time to have a hand in shaping what it will become.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Coalition of Powhatan Churches had fruitful 2017 Dear Editor, In reflecting over the past year, we at the Coalition of Powhatan Churches want to make our churches, organizations, and individuals aware of what you, through your contributions of time, talent and finances, have accomplished to help our neighbors in need.

Just in 2017 alone, you have provided funds to help people in emergency situations pay utility bills in the amount of $7,159.91 and pay rent/mortgage payments in the amount of $10,574.74. You have also provided funds in the amount of $10,627.60 for emergency housing, which includes maintenance and repairs to the transitional housing unit as well as emergency shelter at a motel. Four family units have lived in the housing unit in 2017, making a total of 18 family units since the unit was available. In 2017, you have assisted in making 232 trips using eight drivers to transport individuals to medical appointments/grocery shopping, etc. You have assisted in providing food and volunteer time at the Powhatan Food Pantry.

There has been as many as 181 households served in one month, which includes a low number of 334 individuals in one month to a high of 454 individuals in a month. You have assisted a family living without heat and water in their home to have permanent safe, warm shelter. You have also helped provide funds for fuel, automobile repairs, medical bills, and other emergency needs.

Carson Tucker, 5th District representative to the board of supervisors, donates his entire salary as a supervisor to assist people in danger of losing their property because they are behind in paying their real estate taxes, and since he has done this, 105 payments have been made to save homes from being sold.

Many of you give of your time to help at the Spring Antique Power Show and the Christmas House Tour, both of which generate funds to provide services.

These are just some of the ways we have come together as a community to follow the teachings of Jesus to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. We are grateful that we can be the facilitator so these services can be provided, and we are grateful for all of you who make this effort possible. It’s amazing what can be accomplished when the community comes together.

Patsy G. Goodwyn President of the Coalition of Powhatan Churches

COMMENTS Continued from pg. 2

referring to an earlier vote to pass an ordinance reinstating language into the county code regarding auxiliary turn lanes. The issue became emotionally charged when David Williams, District 1, began questioning the actions of a staff member in a way other board members said was inappropriate.

In the conversation, Cabell suggested outbursts by Williams and Larry Nordvig, District 2, go unchecked, “But Angie says something and all of a sudden it’s a loud, shrew b****. Well you’re damn right it’s a loud, shrew b****. I am tired of this s***.�

Cabell then remarked to Bill Melton, District 4, who was in his seat, that county administrator Ted Voorhees wanted to tender his resignation. “This is crazy. Your county administrator resigns. The man just brought his whole family here and we are in such chaos he is willing to resign. I mean when are people going to listen?� she would say later.

Cabell told Tucker this kind of situation is what happens when things go unchecked and the room loses civility.

Referring to the apartments, she said there are people in the county who wanted them but were silenced, something she experienced herself. “They are trying to silence me Carson and I’m an elected official. I got two threatening emails during the meeting. ‌ But oh no, I have to sit up here and take this and

don’t even get support among my BRETHREN because it’s gentlemen and Angie. And that’s not good,� she said.

Cabell also referred to comments made by two people during the public hearing on the apartment rezoning and said they had never spoken with her. She referred to one of the speakers as an a**hole.

The full video of the meeting was posted by the following morning but taken down later in the day and reposted as an edited version without the breaks. As early as during the meeting, people who were watching on livestream already were mentioning Cabell’s comments on Facebook.

Contacted after the meeting, she declined to comment on the video.

Voorhees, who was also contacted about the video, said he had it edited to remove the recess because recesses are not part of the public meeting. No portion of the actual public meeting was altered, he said. “I’m working with our staff to acquire better equipment, and establish procedures, that will allow for recording equipment to be turned off during recesses in the future.

Until then, we will have to edit out recesses through a post-production process,� he said.

He also said he was not party to the conversation and did not listen to it, so he declined to comment on it.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot senior Corrinne Anderson (right) goes for a layup against the defense from Veritas during the VISAA Division III state tournament at Veritas on Feb. 27. Anderson, the VCC Player of the Year, scored 21 points and scored the game-tying basket in the fourth quarter.

Knights fall short in OT against Veritas

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

lessed Sacrament Huguenot had the shots fall in the fourth quarter when they were needed the most.

But, in overtime, those shots weren’t as kind.

After tying the game with 48 seconds

left in the fourth quarter, the Knights fell 43-40 in overtime to Veritas in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division III state quarterfinals on Feb. 27.

“We didn’t rebound well enough,” coach Ethan Sill said. “We came out kind of flat early. It was just the little things.”

Veritas took an early 9-2 lead before Corrinne Anderson jumpstarted an 11-2

run for the Knights.

In that run, Elizabeth Carter had a layup, Anderson went three-for-four from the line and Katie Schiefer capped it off with a 3-point shot.

The Knights continued to roll in the second quarter.

Anderson hit three 3-point shots in a row to open an 11-point lead on Veritas.

But, Veritas scored the next three bas-

kets in the half, making it a 22-17 game at halftime.

The third quarter was when the tables started to turn on Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

Carter opened the quarter with a basket, but the Knights were plagued with fouls from that point on.

Veritas went to the line five times in see KNIGHTS, pg. 3B}

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Peyton Mulligan signs his National Letter of Intent to play football at Ferrum College on March 2.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Peyton Mulligan was a member of the South of the River team at the Big River Rivalry game in December at Randolph-Macon College.

He said that he enjoyed getting to playing in front of a larger crowd than he was used to at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot and show off his skills.

On March 2, Mulligan set in stone that he’ll continue to get to play in front of large crowds for the next four years of his academic career.

In front of his classmates and with

his family by his side, Mulligan signed with Ferrum College to play football.

“It feels good,” he said. “I’ve been waiting a long time for this decision. I knew that I wanted to go to college and play football. I felt like Ferrum was the right fit for me.”

Mulligan, an offensive lineman, was only in his second season of playing football for the Knights in 2017.

He was a solid part of the line that made holes for players like Colby Johnson and Dion Butler to find running room through opposing defenses during the 2017 campaign. see MULLIGAN, pg. 2B}

Benedictine wrestler Bailey Coates grapples during a practice at Benedictine earlier this season. Coates finished eighth at Prep Nationals and is a former state champion in the VISAA for the Cadets. He is a Powhatan resident.

Coates earns All-American status with Cadets

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

B

enedictine’s Bailey Coates, a Powhatan resident, gave it all he had in his senior season as a Cadet.

While Coates and the Cadets did not win the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA) wrestling championship for the first time in four seasons, Coates did get one final accolade to add to his high school wrestling resume.

Coates was one of nine Benedictine wrestlers who competed at the prestigious Prep Nationals tournament at Lehigh University on Feb. 23-24 and Coates brought home the title of Prep National AllAmerican.

Coates finished eighth overall in the 182-pound weight class at the tournament.

Last season, Coates entered Prep Nationals having won the state championship at the VISAA state

tournament. But, this season, Coates went as a state runner-up, which he said was a bit of a different experience for him.

“This year, it was my senior year and I didn’t win states,” he said. “So, how am I going to be remembered? How do I want this team to be remembered? That’s how I went into it and everything turned out pretty well.”

Coates began the tournament with a pin of Wayne Derkotch of William Penn Charter School in 1:24.

Next, Coates won by technical fall 16-0 over Riley Westlake of Baylor School.

Coates had a setback in his next match, a 19-4 technical fall loss to Darrien Roberts of Wyoming Seminary.

He then bounced back with a pin in 2:58 over Timothy Saunders of Brunswick School.

Carter Davis of St. Christopher’s defeated Coates in the next match by a 4-0 decision and Vic-

tor Marzano of Poly Prep took down Coates by pin in 1:39 for the final two matches of Coates’ career as a Cadet.

Davis is the wrestler who Coates defeated in 2017 to win the VISAA state championship.

Coates was named firstteam All-Metro in 2017 by the Times-Dispatch after recording a 42-11 record.

“I would have liked to have been a two-time state champion, but it just didn’t work out that way...God’s plan, I guess,” Coates said.

“But, I did the best that I could do to be remembered how I wanted to be remembered.”

The past eight years, Benedictine has hosted the Commonwealth Catholic Classic wrestling tournament at the Shepherd Street gym, which is filled to the brim with fans and wrestlers during the tournament.

But, Lehigh is a completely unique experience.

“You go to a place like Lehigh and their arena is filled,” he said. “It’s totally different, especially when

it comes to placement matches and everyone is watching you wrestle. It’s crazy. The fans are loud and you have teams like Blair Seminary up there… they get after it. They have no rules about what they saw and talk about.”

Coates is a Powhatan native and started his wrestling career with Blackhawk Gym and wrestled there until about sixth or seventh grade, he said.

“I learned so much (at Blackhawk,)” he said.

“I’ve been blessed with the coaches I’ve had in my career. Coach Mike Walter was a great mentor.”

Coates then started wrestling with Predator, which is where he met Christos Avgeros, who told him about Benedictine and suggested Coates come to the school for a shadow day.

Benedictine is a military school and wears uniforms on a daily basis. The day Coates visited was one of the rare times when uniforms were not being worn, so entering into the

school’s culture was a bit of a culture shock moment.

“I wasn’t really aware (of the uniforms,)” he said.

“Coming from Powhatan, it was a bit of a culture shock. They’re not different people, but being a Cadet is a lot different than going to a private school.

It’s not just in school. It’s outside school too. When you go somewhere in the uniform, people know what school you’re from.

So, you have to be on your p’s and q’s. It’s crazy that you walk into a classroom here, you get treated the same by a teacher in here that you would be a civilian. So you always have to be on your best behavior.

It’s taught me so much on life, it’s been awesome.”

As Coates moves on this season from Benedictine, he said that he’ll remember fondly the teams he was able to be a part of.

“The teams I was lucky to be a part of for the state championships were two amazing years,” he said. “I made some of my best

friends on those teams.

The team this year wasn’t any different. I loved all those guys. My teammates are amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever had more than a silly problem with a teammate. When you have Josh Wyland and Brady Biller on a team, it’s hard not to go as hard as them.”

Coates said that he hopes to continue his wrestling career at Hampden-Sydney College next season. His time at Benedictine will serve him well on the mat for the Tigers, as his preparation at Benedictine is very similar to what he’ll experience at the college level.

“I think our room is run like a college program,” he said. “Coach (Ryan) Hall pushes us every single day.”

If his history with the Cadets is any indication, the Tigers will have a seasoned wrestler coming into their ranks.

heard of Ferrum, but assistant coach Richan Gaskins informed Mulligan of the opportunities at Ferrum. “(Gaskins) was super friendly and came to my school and told me I should visit,” Mulligan said. “He said ‘you have to come, the facilities are amazing.’ When I went there, I felt right at home.

It was a great family atmosphere. As soon as I left campus, I knew that that’s where I needed to go.”

Mulligan said he chose Ferrum over “a couple other schools,” such as Hampden-Sydney College.

“I just felt like Ferrum was the right fit for me,” he said.

While Mulligan won’t find any former Powhatan residents on the Panthers roster, several Richmond-area schools are represented, such as Mills Godwin, Thomas Jefferson, Douglas Freeman, L.C. Bird and Prince George.

Mulligan said that he feels he has a lot to con-

tribute to the Panthers.

“I have a real sense of team bonding,” he said.

“You have to have good chemistry in order to have a good team. I’ll be bringing my mobility and everything I can to the Ferrum Panthers.”

He is also looking forward to what the Panthers coaching staff can help him improve upon with his game.

“I want to improve my strength and my knowledge of the game,” he said.

Mulligan is looking to study Environment Studies with a minor in Social Entrepreneurship while at Ferrum. He hopes to go into the construction field for a career.

While he is headed off to Ferrum in the fall, he said he will carry fond memories of his time at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

“The chemistry between everyone,” he said. “The teachers, the faculty, my teammates and my friends outside football.”

Continued from pg. 1

At the Big River Rivalry, Mulligan said at the time that it was a great experience getting to play with players from around the Richmond area.

His Blessed Sacrament Huguenot helmet at his signing still had the various logos from the South’s schools from the Big River Rivalry adorned on it.

Mulligan will be joining a Ferrum team that was very successful in 2017.

The Panthers went 8-2 on the season, which included a six-game winning streak. The streak started with a 17-7 win over N.C. Wesleyan, which was followed by triumphs over LaGrange College, Brevard College, Methodist University, Greensboro College and Maryville College.

Ferrum is a Division III school that plays in the USA South Conference.

Powhatan’s May wins middle school title

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The past two seasons, Pocahontas Middle School’s Robert May finished second in the state wrestling tournament.

He wasn’t about to make it three-for-three.

May, a 126-pound eighth grade wrestler, was able to defeat his opponent for the win in the middle school state championship.

“This year, I had the mindset of I’m just going to go out and win this,” he said.

May said that he didn’t have much of an issue in his first four matches of the state tournament, earning pins over his opponent in each match in less than a minute.

The championship match was a 4-0 win to earn him the title.

“I had problems during the year where I wouldn’t be able to score in the first period because I wouldn’t take shots,” he said. “Over the course of the tournament, I realized that I could. So, in the finals, I just figured it was my match. I went out there and took him down and he couldn’t score and I ended up beating him.”

May said that “it felt great” to become a state champion.

KNIGHTS Continued from pg. 1

the quarter and hit 10 of their 12 chances, which slowly but surely shrank the Knights’ advantage and put Veritas in the oneand-one.

“We were in foul trouble,” Sill said. “The foul trouble really hurt us. It makes you play a little more conservatively.”

Veritas tied the game with 1:10 left in the quarter and then took the lead as the quarter expired.

Veritas led by five points in the fourth quarter when the Knights began their comeback.

Carter hit a layup to trim the lead to three points, followed by Schiefer hitting a 3-point shot to tie the game.

With 2:26 remaining, Veritas entered the double bonus, but only hit one of two to make it a one-point game.

Schiefer went to the line and hit one of her two to tie the game with 1:35 remaining.

Veritas edged ahead with 57.7 second remain-

“It made me feel like the time and effort that I’ve put into the sport finally paid off,” he said.

May has been wrestling for seven years and got involved in the sport thanks to his parents.

“They stuck me in it,” he said. “It wasn’t until I got older that I realized that I loved it. Now, I can’t live without it.”

Prior to wrestling for the middle school, May wrestled for Blackhawk Wrestling, but now wrestles for Predator Wrestling Club.

May travels with the club to tournaments around the Mid-Atlantic region, with the season keeping May busy until around July.

“When I was younger, Blackhawk was a big thing,” he said. “Blackhawk kept me in the sport when I was young. It was fun, I got to be around kids that I saw at school and I got to have fun.”

May also plays football for the Flat Rock Warriors and was named most valuable player this past season and represented the Warriors in an all-star game.

But, wrestling is his main love.

“I just love the competition,” he said. “You have to put in so much time to be good at it. You form close bonds with every-

ing after a layup, but Anderson tied it with 48 seconds left.

Veritas then tried to set up the final possession of the game, but the Knights fouled and sent Veritas to the line with 5.1 seconds left.

Both foul shots were off target and the Knights gained possession on the rebound. But, another potential disaster struck as Blessed Sacrament Huguenot turned the ball over to Veritas with 1.7 seconds left.

Luckily for the Knights, their defense held off Veritas in those final seconds and the game moved to overtime.

In the overtime frame, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot gained possession after a jump ball with 2:16 left.

Anna Gestwick took a quality shot from the floor, but was off target and the rebound was grabbed by Veritas.

At the 1:24 mark, Veritas went to the line and made both shots for a twopoint lead.

Carter then went to the

one. You get to meet a lot of new people and that’s a lot of fun.”

May’s first state tournament win has him hungry for more as he will graduate and move on to Powhatan High School.

“I want to be a state champion in high school and not just once,” May said.

The performance of Collin Gerardi has May inspired to try and follow in Gerardi’s footsteps of winning four state cham-

pionships in a row.

Gerardi completed the feat in February with a 9-1 decision to take down his opponent from Fauquier at Churchland High School.

“I want to try and do what (Gerardi) did,” May said. “He’s a huge influence on me. I really look up to him and he’s a really important person. He’s brought some kids who were thinking ‘hey this looks fun and Collin is a cool guy, so maybe I’ll

wrestle.’ I think he’s brought more people into the sport and that’s always a good thing.”

The wrestling mat isn’t the only place that May has a high-drive work ethic. He’s focused in the classroom as well.

“I’m always trying to keep my grades in the high A or A-plus range,” he said. “I’m trying to be the best in my school. I try to do my best in everything that I do.”

He even has his poten-

tial career path in mind as well—he wants to go into medicine.

Until then, however, May will just have to focus on the task of following down the trail that Gerardi blazed.

If his past performance is any indication, he has a good chance at doing just that.

line with 1:07 left and made one free throw to make it a one-point game.

But, Veritas was able to hold possession of the ball and hit two free throws with 17.2 seconds left to make it 43-40.

The Knights drove down the court, but were unable to hit the would-be game-tying 3-point shot and the buzzer sounded on the game and the Knights season.

Despite the loss and losing four seniors for next year, Sill said that he believes the performance of his group will give the team a boost for next season.

“We’re losing four seniors and two starters,” he said. “The younger girls see what’s going on and know what to expect. We have a lot of momentum.”

Sill said that this team was a hard-working bunch who came to practice ready.

“They had a lot of energy,” he said. “They always had energy, whether it was at a 6 a.m. practice, game day or a day off. I’m definitely going to miss the seniors. Corrinne, she’s spe-

cial. Anna works her butt off. Kate and Erin, they knew their roles, accepted it and did their jobs.”

Anderson, who averaged 16.3 points per game and 10.8 rebounds per game, was the Virginia Colonial Confer-

ence Player of the Year for the Knights. That honor also is a huge motivating factor for the Knights who will be playing next season, according to Sill.

“It’s something to build on,” he said. “It

gives the girls a role model. Everyone is looking up to (Anderson.)”

Anderson, Anna Gestwick and Elizabeth Carter were first-team All-VCC selections.

Sill was named Coach of the Year.
