School budget still has unknowns

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board was set to present its proposed $47.2 million budget for fiscal year 2019 to the board of supervisors at its meeting this week with the understanding that it will likely change with the final approval by the General Assembly’s state budget.

The school board’s fiscal year (FY)

2019 budget was scheduled to be presented to the supervisors during their meeting on Monday, March 19, which happened after press time.

At that point, school officials had planned to know how much the school division would be receiving in state funds, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said during his latest presentation on the budget on March 13. However, with the General Assembly adjourning on March 10 without coming to an agreement on

the budget, school districts across the state, including Powhatan, are in some degree of limbo while they wait to see how much state funding they will receive.

Powhatan’s school district built its budget using the governor’s proposed budget, which called for it to receive $22,226,568 in state funds. This would have been an increase of $73,982 from the adopted FY 2018 budget.

But with the General Assembly still

Students honor fallen, stand against violence

debating the budget, the version recommended by the House of Delegates would mean a shortage of $265,830 for Powhatan schools and the one from the Senate would mean a potential shortage of $435,280, Jones said.

“The issue that really affected Powhatan County the most is that the governor included a no loss provision in his budget for divisions that saw an increase in their local composite index, including see BUDGET, pg. 9

POWHATAN – At 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 14, somewhere between 100 and 150 students at

Powhatan High School stood up and left their classes as part of a planned national school walkout.

The 17-minute walkout was organized to remember the victims of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas

High School shooting and make it known that violence in schools is unacceptable.

The students walked through the halls that were already populated at see WALKOUT, pg. 8

Legislators give recap of General Assembly session

By Laura McFarland POWHATAN – Discussing what the General Assembly accomplished but also failed to get done was the focus of a talk given by Powhatan’s two representatives to those bodies at a recent Powhatan Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

Sen. Glen Sturtevant Jr., R-10, and Del. Lee Ware, R-65, continued the annual tradition of giving a general overview of the most recent session during the March 15 chamber luncheon.

A good portion of their 40-minute talk focused on the General Assembly adjourning from its 60-day session on March 10 without coming to an agreement on the state’s budget because of continued debate over Medicaid expansion.

Other measures they discussed during their shared time in front of local business people included the shift in power with the recent election; the state’s efforts toward increasing broadband coverage; dealing with the rising costs of health care; the ac-

In 1946, she married Lieutenant Martin Luther Frick Jr., and they moved to his hometown of Greenville, South Carolina. Martin L. and Marguerite loved to dance together, and she loved listening to her husband and daughters perform music. Martin L. once said, “The day I met Marguerite was the best day of my life. She was beautiful, she was intelligent, had a wonderful personality – and she used good grammar!” She is survived by daughters Elizabeth Holt (George) of Powhatan and Cherry Grove Beach; Marguerite (“Margie”) Hinsdale (Mark), of Belews Creek, North Carolina; her youngest sister, Polly Atkins of Columbia, South Carolina;, and many adoring nieces and nephews who traveled from across the country to be at her memorial service.

In recent years, Marguerite made her home with George and Beth Holt in Powhatan, where she attended Emmaus Christian Church, and in Cherry Grove Beach. She remained good-natured to the end and thanked the Good Lord every day for her life, safe travels, and blessings. Stories of her life may be found in The Marguerite Chronicles at www.bethstillsings.com.

Powhatan High School JROTC members participate in the Clean-up Blitz in 2017.

Contributed Report Clean-up Blitz is a month-long litter up of Powhatan County roads.

Residents are asked to pick up trash along Powhatan’s roadways from March 17 to April 15. In exchange, groups will get an opportunity to win cash for a favorite charity or nonprofit. This event has had a real impact last year in getting roadside litter cleaned up.

Powhatan’s Anti-Litter Council anticipates the cash incentives will get local citizens motivated to pick up trash. Cash prizes up to $1,000 will be awarded to the top trash collector based on number of full bags of litter. There will also be cash prizes of $500, $250 and $100 for

the top contenders. Neighborhood groups, businesses, churches or nonprofit organizations (schools, youth organizations, clubs, etc) are encouraged to commit to picking up trash along a 2-mile – or more – section of a roadway in Powhatan County.

Groups interested in participating may complete an application by going to the Anti-Litter Council’s website or Facebook page to download the application. Completed applications and before/after photos must be returned prior to April 15 to qualify for the prize money. Checks will be made out to the group’s favorite charity or nonprofit organization.

According to Gay Bartlett, Powhatan Coun-

ty Anti-Litter Council vice chair, “We want Powhatan to be known for its beauty, not for its trash problems.”

Free orange bags for trash collection will be available but there is a limited supply. Trash grabbers are available in limited quantities at the Powhatan Extension Office, located at 3910 Old Buckingham Road.

Clean-up Blitz is sponsored by the Powhatan County Anti-Litter Council. For more information about this event, contact 804-598-2636 or chowland@vt.edu. Applications are available on the Anti-Litter Council’s website: http://www.powhatanva.gov/157/Anti-Litter-Council.

griculture is sort of a big word but a simple concept: at its heart, agriculture equals food. We all need to eat, so agriculture is a big deal. In fact as the state’s No. 1 private industry, it’s the biggest deal in Virginia. It’s also a very good deal.

In 1960, Americans spent almost 18 percent of disposable income on food consumed at home.

prove agriculture over the last four centuries. By using innovative technology, the latest scientific information and a lot of hard work, farmers have increased agricultural efficiency. In the 1930s, one farmer supplied enough food for 9.8 people in the U.S. and abroad; by the 1960s, the number had grown to 25.8 people. In the 1990s, each farmer was feeding 129 people, and today a farmer is able to feed his or her own fam-

of Delegates and Senate came up with proposed budgets that are at least $400 million apart, Ware said.

“The principal difference being the adoption in the House of Medicaid expansion, part of Obamacare, and the Senate not adopting it. That chasm between those two really is the feature that made it impossible to harmonize the budgets,” Ware said. “I basically am more simpatico with the Senate version, as in fact two-thirds of the Republicans in the House were.”

Sturtevant talked about the funding of the Medicaid expansion – the state versus federal responsibility – and the risk that the federal government changes its mind and leaves the state footing way more of the bill than it planned. That unexpected cost could leave a “hole in Virginia’s budget that is in

the billions of billions of dollars.” He also talked about President Donald Trump’s administration announcing earlier this year it wanted to defund Medicaid expansion altogether, which represents even more of a risk.

Sturtevant talked about two of the areas of additional revenue on which the House budget would depend. One would be a hospital tax proposed in the governor’s budget that would put a tax on services at private acute care hospitals and generate almost $307 million over two years. Sturtevant said the hospitals would likely pass this additional cost on to patients, which goes back to the issue of affordable health care.

He also mentioned a proposed motor vehicle title fee increase that would raise the fee from $10 to $20 and generate an annual uptick in revenue of $26 million.

Despite the General

Assembly having to return on April 11 for a special session, the two bodies did still get a great deal accomplished during the 60day session, Sturtevant said, pointing out that 3,000 bills were filed during that time.

as would be provided absent the waiver, provides coverage to a comparable number of residents of the state as would be provided coverage absent a waiver, and does not increase the federal deficit.

Sturtevant said he carried a bill that passed in both houses that would allow Virginians to purchase catastrophic health care plans, which have low monthly premiums and higher deductibles but are limited by federal law to those under 30 years old.

“The bill that passed is to have the state get this innovation waiver from the federal government. It will take away that regulation such that anybody can go on the private market and purchase one of these catastrophic health insurance plans,” Sturtevant said.

Another state innovation waiver would allow small businesses and groups such as chambers of commerce to band together and take advantage of the economies of scale of bringing all of those members into one group to put them in a better position to negotiate for lower health insurance prices, Sturtevant said.

Health care One of the things both legislative bodies focused on was the affordable cost of health care and that people’s monthly premiums continue to rise every year, Sturtevant said. They worked identifying some common sense ways to try to keep down those costs.

One available resource he mentioned was state innovation waivers. Under Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a state can apply for a state innovation waiver, allowing states to implement innovative ways to provide access to quality health care that is at least as comprehensive and affordable

Broadband An ongoing issue in Virginia is how to expand wireless and broadband capacity, particularly in rural areas, Ware said.

This year there was a fairly controversial bill whose purpose is to try to expand that kind of capacity into rural areas and fringe areas around suburbs, such as Powhatan. The bill would limit dramatically the zoning capacities of counties and cities in terms of structures to carry broadband facilities.

“It got a lot of debate.

There was considerable division over whether we ought to be taking that zoning capacity away in a significant degree from localities in return for an administrative review process with a time limitation on it and a cap on what the application costs would

be,” Ware said.

Most localities didn’t like it, and Ware said he was not keen on it, but the “intensity of the need” justified voting against what localities suggested. However, Ware said he proposed an amendment to give an annual report on how much new facility was produced, in what localities, how many people were served and in what fashion. He said the providers weren’t happy about it, “but I said if we are going to diminish local oversight of these kinds of facilities, we’ve got to be able to demonstrate that we are actually providing more for the ordinary citizen.”

Ware said the legislation would make Virginia more attractive for capital investment from companies that have a greater certainty in the process.

Some of the other points touched on by Ware and Sturtevant were: Dual enrollment credits – Sturtevant talked about two reforms to the dual enrollment program to help keep college costs down. Currently, not every public Virginia college accepts dual enrollment credits for every class. A new bill would get all of the community colleges and colleges to establish a single curriculum that they will all accept so a high school senior’s credit transfers. Currently, students who earn a two-year Associate’s degree at a community college and maintain a 3.5 GPA or better have guaranteed admission to any public Virginia four-year college or university. However, high school students who earn their Associate’s degree while still in high school don’t have that guarantee.

After three years, a bill was finally passed that would allow – not mandate as Sturtevant wanted – community colleges to include those types of high school students in their negotiations of guaranteed admissions with four-year colleges.

Water and sewer – Ware carried a bill that

would add Powhatan County to the list of counties permitted to require mandatory water and sewer connections pursuant to the authority contained in Code of Virginia. These would be focused along the Route 60 corridor. This came at the request of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors.

State Corporation Commission – Ware talked about the move to have former Sen. John Watkins to be elected as one of three commissioners on the State Corporation Commission, which regulates many business and economic interests in Virginia.

He would complete the final two years of a six-year term left open when SCC Judge James C. Dimitri retired. Ware said he doesn’t know if there is as much support in the House of Delegates for that decision as there is in the Senate.

Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center – Ware said he was surprised to see language in both the Senate and House budgets that suggest going back to Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center as a working facility. It was closed in June 2017 under the premise of new ones being built in Chesapeake and then Hanover. However, both of those localities rejected the ideas, so there is conversation about re-opening Beaumont.

Ware underscored it is in the preliminary stages of discussion.

Trooper Michael Walter Memorial Highway – A bill was passed to designate the portion of Virginia Route 13 in Powhatan County between Virginia Route 1002 (Emmanuel Church Road) and Cumberland County as the Trooper Michael Walter Memorial Highway.

LETTERS TO T H E E D I TO R Disagreeing is not a reason to attack others Dear Editor, I find it disheartening to read the paper or attend a meeting where citizens attack each other because they do not agree on an issue.

Great strides have been made in the efforts of our two boards to work together to move our county forward for the betterment of all of our neighbors. Let’s not revert to the old way of handling conflict.

Being elected and serving on the board of supervisors or school board is an honor and a privilege. These leaders are people just like you and me. They are public servants who do their best to make decisions based on listening to their constituents, but more importantly they make decisions based on what they believe to be right within their heart. They are never going to do everything just the way you and I think it should be, but they are willing to serve.

They are willing to go to meeting after meeting and dedicate themselves to the governance of the place we call home. They are humans and make mistakes. Who doesn’t? It is shameful to learn of the hurtful, hateful comments and actions against some of the supervisors who made an error in the use of their words. And supervisors are entitled to vote their conscience.

I suggest that when you disagree, you contact the leader and discuss with them personally rather than attack them in a public meeting or on Facebook. They are human beings and deserve to be given an opportunity to talk individually with citizens who disagree in a calm and caring manner.

One of my favorite quotes is “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” It begins with you and me. Let’s set an example, be the adult and treat our leaders with respect whether we agree with them or not. We should think toward stirring up one another to love and good works. Be an encourager and settle differences in ways that are more acceptable. Our county is what we make it and it begins with how we treat our neighbors who also happen to be our leaders.

Your neighbor and fellow citizen, Gail Timberlake Powhatan County

Medicaid expansion is not good for Virginians Dear Editor, I cannot imagine why the governor and the loyal opposition are so keen on Medicaid expansion. This will burden all Virginians with a huge tax bill in the next several years when the federal government decides to dismantle the [Un}Affordable Care Act. When there will be no federal money coming in to pay for Medicaid expansion, guess who gets left paying the bill? And haven’t we all heard the wonderful benefits of Obamacare? (You can keep your doctor. Your premiums will be cheaper.)

Mick Mulvaney, the director of the White House office in charge of budget issues, made it very clear in a statement earlier this month that the Affordable Care Act is on the chopping block. If the governor has such compassion toward the downtrodden, why did he accept $2 million from Planned Parenthood?

Wake up, Virginians! Get out and vote against politicians who want to raid your checkbooks! Obamacare Medicaid expansion is not good for Virginians.

Powhatan High School students participate in the national walkout to honor the victims of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida and make it known violence in schools is unacceptable.

WALKOUT Continued from pg. 1

strategic points with members of the PHS administration, teachers with a free period and Powhatan deputies.

The students’ destination was one of the school’s two inner courtyards, where they gathered around the center of a large square. The temperature was somewhere in the mid 30s.

At one corner of the square, sophomores Jeanne Wolkiewicz and Kaitlyn Cline, who organized the local representation of the national event, had students stand on a short stone wall and read the names of the 17 people who died a month earlier in Parkland, Florida, and tell a few things about them.

One student talked about 14-year-old Jaime Guttenberg, who loved to dance

and was described by her grandmother as “fun, loving and giving.”

Another student talked about 17-yearold Helena Ramsay, who was “loved by her friends because she was so thoughtful and loving” and “was excited to start college next fall.”

When it was junior Hannah Ownby’s turn to read her two names, she prefaced it by saying she had decided to do a little more research on them, including 14-year-old Alyssa Alhadeff, who was described as “passionate, intelligent and kind to everyone.” She had signed up to take English honors in the upcoming year, volunteered at homeless shelters and loved to play soccer.

“Alyssa was just like us. She had nail polish and face masks on her night stand.

She had hoodies of her favorite soccer teams. She got nervous before a big game

and felt the exhilaration once her team won,” Ownby told the crowd of students.

“Alyssa didn’t expect to be killed. When her mom told her to lock the doors, she would say, ‘Why do I have to lock the door? It’s Parkland; nothing ever happens in Parkland.’ ”

Pulling the event together When organizers first heard of the national school walkout and asked if students at Powhatan could participate, they were told the administration would neither encourage nor endorse the action, but students also wouldn’t be penalized for taking part, Wolkiewicz said.

Some opponents of the national walkout criticized its creators, EMPOWER, which is the youth branch of the Women’s March, because of their goals to have Congress ban assault weapons, require universal background checks before gun sales, and pass a gun violence restraining order law that would allow courts to disarm people who display warning signs of violent behavior.

Wolkiewicz and Cline, who are in the same English class together, decided they wanted to see it happen at PHS for two reasons – to show support for the victims and the families in Parkland, and because they “recognize that something has to change to ensure the safety of learning environments around the country. School should be safe and it’s not, so something has to change,” Wolkiewicz said.

“It is meant to be a polite and respectful show of support for the victims and families of Parkland, Florida and also acknowledging that something is off in the safety of learning environments,” she said.

The goal of the event at PHS was not to make demands or force people into believing anything, Cline said. They wanted to show support for the victims but honor them as real people who lost their lives to a real problem. She also wanted to demonstrate that young people are demanding change and can make a difference.

“Our goal is just to show it is not a matter of how old we are. We are powerful and we can do something to stop something that isn’t right in America,” she said.

Leading up to the walkout, Wolkiewicz said it was frustrating to have people

criticize and oppose the event without even asking what it was about or why they were having it.

“It is driving me a little crazy that people are just assuming that we want to take away all their guns and oppress their Second Amendment rights. That is not at all it. It is really mostly about support for the school and also saying this is wrong. This violence is what’s wrong. Not necessarily the ownership of guns but the violence that is attached to that is what’s wrong,” she said.

That wasn’t the only criticism organizers faced, she said. Some thought it shouldn’t be done during school or that students wouldn’t take it seriously and just wanted to skip class.

When the students first gathered in the courtyard, some were talking and not listening to the speakers. But one student put a stop to that when she yelled that they were there for a reason and anyone not willing to be respectful of that should leave. After that, the crowd settled down and organizers were able to speak.

Leanne Lightsey, a freshman who attended the walkout, said she heard some students say they wanted to skip class, which she thinks is wrong because there were many more there who had a real reason to be there.

“It does definitely show that some teens actually do care about the issues of shootings and a lot of killing. It definitely shows that we can actually do something instead of just complaining about it on the internet,” she said.

After the names started being read, Ownby said she didn’t hear anybody talking when she was speaking. Instead, what she noticed was the students who were crying because of what they heard and those who had taken the time to make signs, including ones that said “If you won’t save us, we will save ourselves” and “We demand change.”

“I think kids participating in their community and standing up for issues that they believe in, regardless of what those issues are, is always a good thing. It exercises your First Amendment rights,” Ownby said. “I think people who are trying to play this off as we are just teenagers trying to get out of class is really invalidating us and our issues and what we care about and our voices.”

BUDGET Continued from pg. 1

Powhatan. That would have softened the blow of us receiving less state money and was why we were using the figures that we were to build our budget,� Jones said. “But both houses, the House and the Senate, removed that no loss provision.

That is why we are looking at the shortages that we are.�

Earlier that day, Gov. Ralph Northam had set April 11 as the date for a General Assembly special session to finish the work left incomplete as the regular legislative session wrapped up.

However, that is well after the school board is scheduled to adopt its budget during its next meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 27.

Jones’ suggested solution is that the school board pass its budget as planned using the governor’s proposed budget.

Once the division finds out what its state revenue will be, the board can amend the budget, which it has done in the past.

This will allow the county budget process to keep moving forward.

Jones pointed out that the two numbers the division currently has about potential shortages based on the differing budgets could still change, either for the better or the worse. “So, instead of trying to play a guessing game and deciding what we are going to do, what we have done in the past and we had to do this several years ago, was just ap-

prove the budget as it is.

The county would not be slated to appropriate the state money until that state money is approved.

Once that is done then we would go back and amend the budget based on the appropriation,� he said.

Even though the budget would be passed as is, PCPS staff has already begun identifying some areas to reduce expenditures to match whatever shortage in revenue the General Assembly eventually adopts, Jones said.

A good chunk of the savings was already a cut staff was recommending for budget savings. Jones had previously said the staff was recommending no longer operating as a full member of the Math Science Innovation Center, which would be a savings of $115,000.

The school district is heavily invested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education and a review of the data involving the center showed a limited return on investment.

Since the cut was proposed but had not yet been approved, that is an easy source of savings, Jones said.

The budget still recommends a 2 percent salary raise for all school employees, Jones said.

However, if the board removed or reduced from the budget the targeted salary adjustments for certain employee groups that have the lowest salaries in the region, that could be a savings of up to $246,198. An additional $120,547 in savings could be possible by

eliminating a suggested additional 1.5 full time equivalent (FTE) employees.

A items that could provide additional savings are a request for proposal for school food service outsourcing and the results of a competitive fuel bid. At the time of Jones’ presentation, the amounts of those two items were still unknown.

Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations, told the board that the school board has always committed to only spending the amount of dollars that the county has appropriated from its budget, “meaning that there have been years that our state revenues were less than what we had anticipated and we adjusted our spending during the year so that we did not spend anything more than what the county had planned for us. We will do that, too. But as Dr. Jones has explained, there is time for us to amend this budget after the supervisors appropriate.�

Rick Cole, who represents District 1, pointed out that this is not just a Powhatan problem; not knowing how the budget will turn out affects schools at least in central Virginia if not all across the state. “I do hope that people will step up and talk to their representatives about the importance of trying to do a little better than what they have done up to this point,� he said.

Hawks too much for Indians in opener

By Ellis Hopson Contributing Writer

O

ne aspect of sports that is often overstated is the significance of a season opener.

While a victory can certainly set a team on course early on, a defeat does not always define the direction of a season.

After a 3-1 loss to Hanover in their season opener, the Powhatan Indians will be working to prove that the latter is true.

The Indians started the game in a solid 4-4-2 formation.

The starting lineup featured senior Kylee Maiolo in goal, senior Gabrielle Criscione and sophomore Kyla Greenway in defense, and senior Kylie Donnelly up front.

All four players will be key contributors to the team this season.

Indians coach Jared Rottmund hinted at the team tinkering with their system and tactics early in the season: “I think that system was just for tonight. We’re going to switch it up. We haven’t had much time in the preseason to experiment, unfortunately,” he said, alluding to the winter weather that consumed many

scrimmages for spring sports.

Hanover started in an attacking 4-3-3 and were quickly on the front foot, having most of the possession in the opening 10 minutes.

That possession paid off in the 11th minute, when a pass from the left wing just managed to get through Powhatan’s defense and was slotted into the bottom see INDIANS, pg. 3B

Knights split pair to begin baseball season

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

FILE PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Chris Gupton (right), seen here last season, is one of several key players for the Knights this season.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s baseball players will get the chance to be very familiar with their positions this season.

The Knights have 10 players on the roster this season and coach James Poore said he’ll pretty much have the same lineup, with the same players at the same positions, in most of the games this season.

While the depth issues might seem concerning at first, it very well could turn into a strength for the team.

“I only have 10 players,” Poore said.

“So, the same guys are going to go to the same spots for the next 20 or 21 games.

So, it won’t take us long to mesh together.

It’s a good group of guys and I feel like the longer we play together, the better we’ll get.”

Poore pointed out that none of his players will be guessing as to where they’ll be playing game-to-game and will benefit from being used to playing alongside the same players in the same positions.

“They’re playing beside the same guy,” he said. “I just feel like we’ll come together quicker.”

Poore said that he believes his pitching staff will be the key strength for the Knights this year.

Knights chasing titles with new mindset

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

B

lessed Sacrament Huguenot’s soccer team hasn’t had a game moved due to weather yet this season, something that not many of the other spring sports teams in the county can say.

But, that doesn’t mean the weather hasn’t been hampering the Knights’ efforts to get the season off to a good start.

“We’re struggling to find a rhythm in practice right now,” head coach Grayson Lovern wrote in an email. “The weather has made it difficult for us to have a full week of practice since we began conditioning.”

However, that hasn’t deterred the Knights as the season approaches, with the opener scheduled at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot for March 21 against longtime foe Isle of Wight.

The Chargers defeated the Knights 4-2 in the Virginia Colonial Conference final last season by a 4-2 score.

While the loss to Isle of Wight in last season’s title game ended an undefeated season for the Knights and their chance at back-to-back titles, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot has won three regular

season titles in a row in soccer.

But, Lovern wrote that the team is still striving for that ultimate prize.

“Our goal this year is to repeat the successes from the last three seasons,” he wrote. “I want us to compete for the regular season championship again and make it back to the conference final.

Last year left a bitter taste in our mouth, and I know we have some players itching to get back there. It won’t be easy.

We don’t quite have the depth this year that we’ve been fortunate to have in previous seasons, and the other teams in the conference have gotten stronger. But, our goal is to compete for trophies.”

While none of the Knights this season are brand new to the team, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will have to replace the production of graduated seniors on offense in Nathan Radossevich and Reed Hildebrand.

Both were named first team AllVCC. Hildebrand was the MVP of the conference.

Those two seniors in particular left big shoes to fill, but Lovern believes these Knights have the tools to do that.

One of those tools is a bit of a mindset change from previous seasons.

“Replacing their production is going

to be our biggest challenge,” he wrote.

“The key to doing that is improving our off-the-ball movement. We’ve been fortunate to have some really talented players over the past few years that have been able to command double teams or make plays on their own. Not to say that we don’t have those skills on the roster this year, but I would like us to become less reliant on individual effort and focus more on collective effort…recognizing what runs to make to open up space not just for you, but for a teammate is going to be crucial to producing offensively.”

Senior Colby Johnson will be a major player for the Knights this season, as will Carlos Garcia, a sophomore. Garcia scored one of the two goals for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in the season finale last year.

“Colby will be playing a bit more of an advanced role this season and we are looking for him to take a step forward offensively,” Lovern wrote. “Carlos is another player who I think is showing great potential. He has grown a bit in stature and confidence since last year and I think he is ready to build off the success he had in last year’s tournament.

He will be leading the line for us and the

more confident he is, the more dangerous he will become.”

On defense, Lovern pointed to freshman Emily Smith and Michael Timmons as two players he has his eye on.

Both Smith and Timmons gained experience on the team last year as eighth graders.

“Seeing them take a step forward is something I will be looking for,” Lovern wrote.

The Knights will host Brunswick Academy on March 26 before traveling to Richmond Christian on March 29.

Lovern wrote that by season’s end, he hopes the Knights have become more “purposeful” on the field.

“We have changed our formation from last year and some players are still working to find their way in their new roles,” he wrote. “I want to see us really work on our movement and communication so that we don’t look like we’re just out there winging it. We’re still going to be playing an attacking style of soccer and emphasize getting the ball wide, but I want to see our players making off-the-ball runs and stretching the other team with purposeful movement and passing, rather than relying on individual moments of brilliance.”

Patriots take down Powhatan boys, girls lacrosse in openers

By Dave Lawrence Mechanicsville Local

Patrick Henry’s and Powhatan’s lacrosse teams wasted no time getting into their 2018 campaigns with a girls and boys doubleheader at Patrick Henry High School on March 15.

The Patriots made the most of the evening, the boys coming from behind with seven goals in the fourth quarter to seize a 17-14 win in the nightcap, while the girls outpaced the Indians 19-6 in the opener.

Patrick Henry boys lacrosse head coach Blair Penny said the Patriots made a key adjustment in the fourth quarter that set the stage for their rally.

“We just basically wanted to attack them from behind the cage because we felt that they weren’t staying on top of our crease guys, in terms of the offense, and leaving them open,” Penny said.

“So it really was just turn the corner, beat them with speed, feed him if he’s open and if not, take the shot – and be a lot more patient than we were the first three quarters.”

The intensified attack, which included more physical play, overwhelmed the Powhatan defense.

“We kind of got into more of a physical game, I think, than we probably

should,” said Indians head boys lacrosse coach Joe Nile. “Lacrosse is one of those games where it’s more of a finesse game than a physical game. When you get into one of those pushing-shoving kind of things, you lose your edge a little bit. I think that’s what happened.”

The Indians may have suffered from youth – certainly the Patriots handled the physical game better.

It did not help, though, that the Patriot attack rarely missed its mark.

Patrick Henry shooters found openings despite a crowd of Indians trying to bar the path to the net and wasted no time taking advantage of them.

“That’s kind of like something we talked about at halftime and then adjusted to at the beginning of the fourth quarter – and that was getting the ball in and out of your stick as quick as you can,” Penny said. “Let’s not give them a chance. … Whether you’re shooting or passing, just move it.”

The Patriots boys were led by Jake Huber and Freddie Schools with six goals apiece.

Powhatan’s boys were led by Ethan Niles with four goals. Greg Palmore and Jared Somerville each had three goals.

goals and two assists – pressed the Powhatan defense early and often and ground it down over time.

“They’re a very skilled team and it kept our defense busy,” said Powhatan head girls lacrosse coach Laura Camp.

“They have excellent ball-handling skills and worked their offense seamlessly. We were just trying to keep up

and keep the pressure on.”

Patriot head girls lacrosse coach Anna Mason said the plan was to use Patrick Henry’s greater experience to best advantage.

“They’re a very new team,” Mason said. “They were playing more man-toman. We were just making sure we were doing just what we needed to do.”

Roundup: Powhatan blows past Cavaliers

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The Powhatan Indians baseball team had a scrimmage and its first regular season game of the year disrupted due to the snowy weather that hit the area on March 12.

That didn’t slow the Indians down on March 15 in an out-of-region game against Clover Hill.

Powhatan poured on seven runs in the first inning in a 13-2 romp of the visiting Cavaliers.

Zach Tillery and Nick Rini each went 3 for 3 in the offensive explosion by the Indians.

Rini knocked in four runs, while Tillery had 3 RBIs. Brad Painter was 1 for 3 with a run knocked in as well.

Tommy Preston pitched four innings and allowed just one run in the fourth inning.

Trenton Tiller pitched the final frame and allowed the second Clover Hill run.

After the Indians put up a seven-spot in the first inning, Powhatan followed that up with two more runs in the third and four in the fourth inning.

The game ended after five innings due to the mercy rule.

The Indians are next scheduled to play on March 22 at home against Orange at 6 p.m.

SOFTBALL Powhatan’s softball team mirrored the baseball team with an opening-day showdown against Clover Hill on March 15 at Powhatan High School.

The Indians fell behind 3-0 to the Cavaliers after Clover Hill scored two runs in the top of the third.

But, Powhatan rattled off 10 unanswered runs in a

right corner.

The Indians looked to get back in the game almost instantly, with chances falling to Donnelly and junior Kailyn Hicks over the 10 minutes following the goal.

A corner kick in the 22nd minute couldn’t produce a breakthrough as Powhatan continued to trail.

The equalizer finally came in the 34th minute, when a through ball found the feet of Donnelly in the 18-yard box.

A beautiful lofted

10-3 win over the Cavaliers.

Autumn Lederman was 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs for Powhatan, while Terri Jackson and Taylor Dickerson were each 1 for 3 with 2 RBIs. Lindsey Elam was 1 for 4 and knocked in a run.

Mason Basdikis pitched a complete game in the Indians’ win, striking out nine Clover Hill batters.

After failing to post a run in the first two innings, Powhatan scored three in the third, one in the fourth and three in each the fifth and sixth innings.

The Indians continued the regular season against Dinwiddie on March 19, a game which was completed past the deadline for this issue.

After the region final rematch from a season ago against the Generals, Powhatan is scheduled to host Orange on March 22.

Scotty Harrelson scored two goals to power the Indians past the Hawks in a 4-0 final.

Patrick Peach and Sam Causey each scored a goal as well.

Ethan Taylor assisted on three of the goals, while Harrelson had an assist as well.

Peach scored the first goal of the match in the 25th minute with a header off a corner kick by Taylor.

Harrelson then put a pass on the foot of Causey, who deposited it home for a 2-0 lead in the first half.

Taylor then assisted on both of Harrelson’s goals in the second half for other two goals on the Hawks netminder.

The Indians hosted strike nestled into the bottom right corner and tied the game at 1-1.

The teams remained deadlocked going into the half.

Hanover opened the second half much in the same way they did the first, applying constant pressure to the Indians’ defense in the opening 10 minutes.

The Hawks got their reward in the 50th minute, when a deflected ball from a corner kick somehow found its way into the back of the net.

Powhatan had its best chance to answer back just seven minutes later.

GIRLS TENNIS Powhatan’s girls tennis Donnelly slipped an excellent through ball into the path of junior Kaila Cook, but the Hanover goalkeeper was in good position to smother the shot.

The Indians tried their best to press for a goal for remathe inder of the half, but ultimately had a hard time dealing with the Hawks’ pressing game.

A number of saves by Maiolo and a crucial clearance by senior Morgan Lovgren kept Powhatan in the game with 15 minutes left to play.

They give us a good shot to have a good season this year.”

While those three form a strong rotation for the Knights, Poore will have to fill some holes in production on the offensive side of things.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot lost four seniors from last year’s team in Trey Gregg, Coleman Smith, James Heldmann and Carter Davis.

All four had bats that

could find that key hit to score runs or begin a rally.

Chris Gupton and Robbie Kurtz are two key elder statesmen of the team who Poore said have been making waves thus far this season.

Gupton, in particular, has taken up the catching duties this year.

“The first two games, (Gupton) has done a great job,” Poore said. “Robbie is playing shortstop for us. Both those guys, along with Roudabush, Hasty and Dickerson, are really, really important pieces of the puzzle for us.”

As Poore has looked at his lineup, a change of tactics has come to his team.

“Our approach is a little different this year,” he said. “We’re going to play a lot more small ball.

We’ve bunted a lot more and tried to move guys over and steal more bases.

Last year, we played baseto-base.”

While it is a different mindset for the Knights overall, Poore said that his team has bought into it very quickly.

“We’ll show bunt and next time maybe we’ll slash or try to hit-andrun,” he said. “It’s been good. It’s kind of like a full-court-press for baseball. We just want to play faster. With small ball, everyone can contribute. If you move the guy over,

then everyone has a chance to drive them in.

You just have to get them in scoring position.”

Overall, the team is a young one and Poore said that experience will be key in how his team comes along this season.

“We need to look at every game and try to note that we’re going to improve,” he said. “We’re young and we’re going to get better and better. It’s going to come down to how well we pitch and how well we play defense. That’s how it is. I really like our pitching a lot. I think our defense will get better and better.”

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s season is al-

ready underway and the Knights are 1-1.

On March 15, the Knights fell to Tidewater Academy 5-4. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot turned it around the next day and defeated Amelia Academy 18-3.

Against the Warriors, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot jumped out to an early 4-0 lead. Tidewater Academy answered in the bottom of the fourth with four runs and then the eventual game-winning run in the bottom of the sixth.

“We had some opportunities to drive some guys in with two outs,” Poore said. “We didn’t do a very good job. We left

too many guys on. Tidewater played well, they made some really good plays. One time, a ball was hit and if it fell, it would have scored two or so runs, but the second baseman made a great play. So, hats off to them.

It could have gone either way. I like our chances when we play them again.”

On March 15 against the Patriots, it was an entirely different story for the Knights. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot was down 2-0 after the first inning, but was able to answer with three runs, and then a whole lot more, for the lopsided victory over the Patriots.

absences. In fact, work is the foremost source of stress for many adults.

Although not all stress is bad and stress responses can motivate people to perform more effectively, repeated stress is a problem. The National Institute of Mental Health says routine stress that becomes chronic can suppress immune system functions, disrupt digestion, adversely affect sleep, and cause abnormal changes in reproductive systems. People who have chronic stress are often prone to frequent and severe viral infections, like colds and the flu.

Repetitive stress may be the most difficult to recognize because it often becomes a part of daily life. Managing stress and anxiety involves finding techniques that work for each individual. While not every approach works for everyone, the following are five effective means to managing stress.

Exercise

(804) 3 STUMPS (804) 378-8677 Steve Hazelwood

The American Psychological Association says research continues to confirm the benefits of exercise in regard to combatting stress. Regular exercise has long-term benefits, but even a 20-minute exercise session during a stressful time can produce an immediate effect that lasts a few hours.

Deep breathing:

Mindful breathing can be effective and only takes 10 minutes. Men and women battling stress can sit in a comfortable position with their eyes closed and imagine themselves in a relaxing place while slowly breathing in and out.

Take a break: Removing oneself from a stressful situation for a little while can be helpful. A brief break of 15 to 20 minutes can provide a sense of calm.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy: Harvard Medical School defines cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT, as a process of changing unhealthy thinking in order to change emotions. Therapists will identify negative thinking patterns and help patients learn to automatically replace them with healthy or positive thoughts.

Support network: Simply having someone to talk to can help tame stress.

People should surround themselves with others they trust who are good listeners. These can be friends, family members or professional therapists. Talking oneself through stressful situations can provide relief. - Metro Creative

Understanding the bitcoin phenomenon he going rate of bitcoins continues to rise. As of September 2017, one bitcoin was equal to nearly $4,000 USD and $4,900 Canadian, according to the CoinDesk calculator. Considering bitcoin is such a highly valued yet volatile form of currency, many people have questions as to how bitcoins were created and how they are used.

Bitcoin is a relatively new currency that was created in 2009 by an anonymous person (or group) using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto.

Bitcoins are produced and traded in the virtual world. In a relatively short period of time, bitcoins went from being worth pennies to thousands of dollars. Unlike other forms of currency, which are controlled by a central authority of a particular country, bitcoins are completely virtual.

not all bitcoins have been mined. Every bitcoin transaction is completely transparent, which means they can be traced back to creation.

The ‘block chain’ is a public ledger where every bitcoin transaction that has ever taken place is registered.

Anonymity Even though bitcoin transactions are recorded publicly, the names of buyers and sellers are never revealed. Only a wallet ID is recorded.

This enables bitcoin users to buy or sell anything without it being traced back to them. While many legitimate businesses now accept bitcoins, bitcoins also are highly valued for black market ventures like purchasing drugs and illegal weapons.

Bitcoins are changing the way people see money and store their private wealth. The concept decentralizes money and makes the bitcoin exchange a relatively transparent process.

Get organized and improve workplace productivity any working professionals aspire to be as productive as possible.

In working environments where employees are forced to wear many hats, efficiency can help workers meet their deadlines and get tasks accomplished.

Organization can help professionals keep track of their work assignments and stay on schedule. Staying organized does not come naturally to everyone, and those finding it difficult to juggle various assignments at once can try the following strategies to stay organized and increase their productivity.

M

Stop multitasking While it can seem counterintuitive for people with a lot on their plates to stop multitasking, researchers at the University of Utah found that performance suffers when people try to do more than one thing at a time. While researchers discovered that a small percentage of people they dubbed ‘supertaskers’ were capable of multitasking without adversely affecting their perfor-

mance, the vast majority of people should avoid trying to tackle more than one task at a time.

Professionals can work on different projects throughout the day, but allot time for each project rather than trying to work on several at once.

Schedule each day Establishing a schedule and making it as accessible as possible is another way to stay organized and increase productivity. Professionals can make use of scheduling apps on their tablets or smartphones, even setting alerts so they do not forget about projects or meetings. Routinely check the schedule throughout the day, marking off tasks as they’re completed.

Cut back on time spent in meetings A 2014 survey from AtTask conducted by Harris Poll reported that American workers at companies with 1,000 employees or more spend just 45 percent of their workdays tending to their

primary job duties. Survey participants reported spending 40 percent of their time in meetings, tending to administrative tasks and dealing with interruptions. In lieu of in-person meetings, professionals can discuss projects via mass emails, which can be a much more efficient means to organizing and discussing a project than sitting in a room several times per week.

Take breaks throughout the workday Busy professionals may feel as though they don’t have time for breaks during a typical workday. But such breaks can benefit workers in ways they might be unaware. For example, the Association for Psychological Science notes that research has shown that building breaks into a workday helps professionals stay sharp and productive. And when workers take their breaks matters, too. Researchers at Baylor University discovered that mid-morning breaks were more beneficial than late afternoon breaks.

Recycling paper benefits the environment in a myriad of ways. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, recycling paper reduces greenhouse gas emissions that can contribute to climate change by avoiding methane emissions and reducing the energy required for a number of paper products.

Recycling paper also contributes to carbon sequestration, which is the process through which agricultural and forestry practices remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The Eco Preservation Society notes that carbon sequestration activities can help prevent global climate change by enhancing carbon storage in trees and soils, preserving existing tree and soil carbon and by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Recycling paper also reduces the need for a substantial amount of landfill space and cuts back on the consumption of energy and water that is necessary to produce new paper products. Businesses looking to reduce reliance on paper can urge employees, clients and partners to use digital documents in lieu of printed documents, while private citizens can opt out of paper statements and choose to receive e-statements from their banks, mobile providers and utility companies. -Metro

Advice for a successful career change ndividuals change jobs for many reasons, including greater professional satisfaction, money or a change of location. The financial experts at The Balance say that people change jobs more frequently than many people may think, noting today’s average worker changes jobs 12 times during his or her career.

It is not uncommon for workers to change careers several times in a lifetime. The notion that the job a person starts out in directly after graduation is the one that he or she will have for the rest of his or her life — or at the very least, several years — is no longer the norm.

Many younger workers migrate between jobs for greater compensation and fulfillment. Older workers, too, are faced with career stagnation. A survey from the University of Phoenix School of Business found 59 percent of working adults say they’re interested in taking the leap of a midlife career change.

Once the idea for a career change has been planted in a person’s mind, he or she may be anxious to jump right in. However, career

considering. Is it the right time for success in this field? Industries tend to ebb and flow. Do not leave a job only to find the next career has few, if any, openings. Job growth projections are available through resources like the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I

Assess your likes and dislikes Metro

coaches and other experts say that it is better to take the transition slowly and confirm that changing careers is truly the path to take.

Finding the right time for the transition is equally important. These steps can help professionals as they decide if the time is right to change careers.

Research the job market Look into the industries for the field you are

Another area of consideration is what you like to do. Leaving a job may be based around finding a career that caters to your interests.

Make a list of the types of careers you find appealing. To get help, take a career assessment quiz online.

Don’t choose a career based on salary alone, being financially strategic when choosing a new career is important, but shouldn’t be the only factor. Your personal values, experience and other factors such as family should weigh heavily into your decision as well.

Use your network The notion that “it’s not what you know, but who you know� has some truth to it. Successful job-seekers continually expand their professional contacts. This is achieved by going to informational interviews, attending trade association meetings and reviewing trade publications. Target people who work at the companies where you see yourself, so you can get the inside track about job openings.

Get new skills Learn which skills you have that are transferrable to a new career and which ones you may need to acquire. Take a course or two or sign up for training seminars. Don’t immediately assume you need to return to school before investigating other, less costly avenues.

Changing jobs and careers takes effort, but the results can be worth it in the long run.

Farm to table businesses booming with foodies onsumers’ appetites for local foods are growing, and restaurants have taken notice. Today, many local businesses, including farms and restaurants, have mutually exclusive relationships that make it possible for local residents to enjoy nutritious, locally produced meals.

According to the market research firm Packaged Facts, local foods generated $11.7 billion in sales in 2014 and will climb to $20.2 billion by 2019. Farm-to-table remains a growing trend that benefits farmers, restaurateurs and consumers.

This is evidenced by the rising number of farmers markets cropping up in neighborhoods all across the country, as well as the niche offerings by regional food purveyors. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that, in the last 20 years, the number of farmers markets has grown by more than 350 percent. Many consumers are now choosing ‘local’ for dining at home and when dining out, and this is making a major impact on the nation’s food systems.

Foodies as well as industry experts predict that the local foods movement is a permanent and mainstream trend. In 2014, the National Restaurant Association found the desire for local foods dominated its ‘Top Food Trends.’

The most in-demands foods include locally sourced meats and seafood as well as locally sourced produce. Consumers

also are interested in farm/estate-branded foods. Some restaurants are even producing ‘hyper-local’ food, or herbs and produce grown right on the property.

As the demand for local foods has evolved, so has the term ‘local foods.’ ‘Local’ can be a wide-ranging term that refers

to foods produced in a particular town, state or even region.

The 2008 Farm Act defines a ‘locally or regionally produced agricultural food product’ as one that is marketed less than 400 miles from its origin. However, a few states have established more stringent rules that indicate ‘local’ constitutes food produced within the borders of a state or within a small perimeter of the state.

The growing preference for locally produced foods is great news for the farmers and small food producers that have long fought for footing among the mega-importers. According to the trade publication Produce Business, even though ‘local’ does not place limits on the size of the farm, the growing desire among consumers to go local is benefitting many small and midsized farms, as consumers are increasingly buying foods grown closer to where they live.

In addition to meats, fruits and vegetables, consumers can find many locally made items that expand the potential for farm-to-table. These include, but are not limited to, artisanal cheeses, wines, beer, baked goods, milk and other dairy, and honey.

Local, sustainable foods are in demand, helping not only local restaurants and merchants, but also the small and medium farms that service these establishments.

Vocational schooling can pave the way to high-paying jobs any students believe that the next natural step after graduating from high school is to go off to college.

Secondary education has become such a common transition that many parents begin saving for college tuition as soon as their children are born. Although college can be the next chapter in a student’s education, many teenagers still choose to attend trade school.

Television personality Mike Rowe says the country is in the midst of a skilled labor shortage because workers lack the necessary training to fill the hundreds of thousands of available jobs.

Lack of information may drive the notion that trade jobs are nothing more than a backup plan if college doesn’t pan out. However, by realizing that trade jobs, along with short-term vocational training, is a smart investment and eventually a lucrative career choice attitudes about trade schools and labor-intensive jobs may shift.

A great number of college graduates enter the workforce with degrees that may not help them land jobs. And these students typically carry thousands of dollars in tuition debt. Many college grads are underemployed and working in jobs that aren’t even in their fields of study. Career and technical schools help students develop specialized skills that make graduates immediately marketable in their chosen fields, and trade salaries can be very competitive.

The following are some of the fastest-growing and highest-paying trade careers to consider, based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Forbes magazine.

Get the facts on life insurance policies ew people want to face their own mortality when they are in the prime of their lives. However, thinking ahead and making advanced plans can save family members considerable heartache.

Life insurance policies can help men and women make things easier for their spouses, children or siblings. Life insurance provides financial security in the event of a person’s death. Such insurance is a key element of estate planning and something all adults must consider.

It’s smart to purchase life insurance at a relatively young age because the cost can be lower. Some people put off the process because it can be overwhelming. But Forbes magazine advises that once a person does a little research and learns the terminology associated with life insurance, choosing a policy is not so difficult.

F

Decide on the type of policy Life insurance policies come in two broad categories: term and whole life. Term life insurance may be less expensive upfront, as it only provides coverage for a set number of years. It will only pay out if the policy holder dies during this ‘term.’ Whole life insurance, also called ‘cash value,’ usually costs more, but accumulates a cash value that can be borrowed against, and it pays out whenever a person passes away.

Choose among reputable companies You want to ensure the life insurance company you pick will be around for years and has a strong reputation, so give ample consideration to each company you explore before making a final decision.

Metro

Determine the amount of insurance you will need

Drivers who want to save money can explore their auto insurance options before renewing their policies.

Make a list of expected expenses after you pass away. These may include any residual mortgage payments, school tuitions, automotive payments, or funeral expenses. In addition, approximate how much your family will need to live comfortably in your

absence. Online calculators can help determine life insurance coverage needs. The New York Life Insurance Company says a quick way to figure out how much coverage you may need is to take your annual salary and multiply it by eight.

Know the waiting period Many policies establish a period of time on policies wherein there is very little cash-out value and the company will not pay out the full death benefit. This may be a year or two after opening the policy. Discuss this information with the insurance agent.

Life insurance can be a smart financial choice, helping men and women rest easy that their families will want for nothing in the wake of their deaths.

Successfully switch auto insurance providers nce drivers purchase an auto insurance policy, many simply let the policy renew each year. But with a little digging, drivers may be able to reduce their insurance costs considerably.

According to the Insurance Information Institute in New York, consumers should ask themselves if they’re happy with the cost, service and coverage of their existing policies whenever it’s time to renew. If they are, they should stick with their existing policies.

However, if customers feel things can be better, then it’s a perfect time to see what’s available. Many driver advocates advise shopping for a new policy every two or three years.

When it comes time to switch car insurance companies, follow these steps and remember to avoid gaps in the coverage.

O

Compare apples to apples When shopping for new policies, consumers should compare the same features offered by various providers, including coverage types, deductibles and any limits. Keep a copy of your existing policy’s declarations page so that all quotes can be accurately compared to the existing policy.

Research any cancellation fees Before switching over, find out if there are any cancellation fees associated with an existing policy.

Eliminate coverage gaps

organizers to see if they have relationships with auto insurance providers. Law enforcement personnel or veterans may be eligible for certain discounts as well. Some insurance carriers only cover police officers or former military. It pays to look into these discounts.

Consider small companies

Eliminate gaps in coverage by ensuring a new policy begins the moment the existing one ends. This prevents potential financial ruin should a driver get into an accident without any insurance during a gap period.

Take note of any lifestyle changes Be sure to list anything that can affect the cost of coverage, such as anti-theft devices on the vehicle, window etching or updated driving habits.

Explore union or group affiliations Drivers who are members of particular clubs, professional organizations or something similar may be eligible for special policies with certain providers. Make a list of any affiliations and contact the

Just because they don’t advertise as much as some of the more well-known providers does not mean small insurance companies are not capable of providing sufficient, affordable coverage. There are plenty of reputable small companies that offer excellent rates to drivers willing to exercise their due diligence.

Check with the existing provider, too. Drivers can discuss their current rates and coverage with their existing insurance company, who may offer suggestions on reducing coverage or even offer lower prices in an effort to hang on to customers. Consider these possibilities before switching.

Shopping around for a new automotive insurance policy may help customers cut rates and increase coverage.
