Supervisors take step toward lowering tax rate By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors decided in a split vote last week to advertise an 88 cent real estate tax rate to lower the burden on residents with the understanding the county will need to cut $167,000 from the county administrator’s proposed fiscal year 2019 budget. During the board’s budget workshop on Monday, April 9, the supervisors voted three to two in favor of advertising an 88 cent real estate tax rate. Advertising this rate does not bind the board to this rate, but it does mean the members cannot adopt a tax rate higher than 88 cents. Chair Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, David Williams, District 1, and Larry Nordvig, District 2, voted to advertise the 88 cent rate. Angie Cabell,

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors took a step toward lowering the real estate tax rate when they voted to advertise an 88 cent tax rate. This does not bind them to that rate, but they also cannot go above the advertised rate, which represents a slight tax decrease.

District 3, and Bill Melton, District 4, voted against it. The budget workshop started with county administrator Ted Voorhees pointing out he had built the county’s fiscal year (FY) 2019 operating budget based on a real estate tax rate of 88.5 cents. That would keep the same rate as the board had adopted last year, when it reduced the tax rate by 1.5 cents. However, Nordvig almost immediately suggested that the board should instead adopt a flat 88 cent tax rate. He said 88.2 would be the effective tax rate, or revenue neutral, meaning the rate would change but the taxpayer still ends up paying the same bill as last year. That means that an 88.5 cent tax rate would actually represent an increase to residents’ tax bills. For FY 2019, once cent on the tax see COUNTY, pg. 8

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A group of local business and community leaders put their heads together last week to help the county begin creating tourism strategies to increase tourism dollars, small business opportunities, entrepreneurial development and job creation for Powhatan County. The Powhatan County offices of Economic Development and Agricultural Extension held a one-day tourism assessment workshop on Tuesday, April 10 that was attended by about 43 participants.

New digital forensics training, equipment aids sheriff’s office By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office got a boost in its capability to do digital forensics in-house after one of its detectives recently attended a special month-long training course. Detective Austin Schwartz was certified in March through the Mobile Device Examiner (MDE) course at the National Computer Forensics Institute in Alabama. Investigators who attend the course gain experience with a wide array of mobile devices such as cell phones, GPS units, and tablets, forensics analysis tools, legal issues, and report generation for law enforcement. The sheriff’s office previously had to rely on the Virginia State Police and Office of the Attorney Gen-

POWHATAN – Some Powhatan County residents might be able to seek a decrease in their home insurance premiums thanks to improvements made in the Powhatan County Fire and Rescue Department. Fire and rescue was re-evaluated late last year through the Insurance Services Office’s (ISO) Public Protection Classification (PPC) program, according to Chief Steven Singer. The Insurance Services Office evaluates and classifies fire departments across the nation by looking at their personnel, training, vehicles, equipment, incident reporting and the general operation. The office also looks at the local water department and water sources to determine its ability to provide adequate water flow for firefighting and the public safety communications 911 operations that serve the county. Previously, Powhatan’s PPC classification was a 7/9, but in the new classification the rating has changed to a 5/5Y. The lower the ISO number, the better the classifica-

eral for certain types of examinations and wasn’t able to do any type of digital forensic examination, Schwartz said. Now it can do the majority of them in-house rather than relying on outside agencies. “It gives us the capability to forensically examine cell phones, tablets – stuff we PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND would Detective Austin Schwartz attended a month-long Mobile Device previously see DETECTIVE, pg. 8

Examiner course that gave him new digital forensic skills to bring back to the sheriff’s office and thousands of dollars in equipment. Schwartz was sponsored to participate at no cost to the county.

Subdivision Code issue spills over into court system By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – An issue that started in 2016 with the removal of language on auxiliary turn lanes from the Powhatan County Subdivision Code and has recently become a contentious topic at board of supervisors meetings was scheduled to extend its reach to the court system this week. A petition of mandamus and injunction was filed on Monday, April 9 in the Powhatan County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office against the county on behalf of former sheriff Nelson Batterson. The civil case was scheduled to be heard on Monday, April 16 and the results could not be included by the time this edition went to print. The results of the hearing will be in the next edition. If issued, a writ of mandamus is an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the government official to properly fulfill his or her official duties or correct an abuse of discretion. The petition was filed against county

administrator Ted Voorhees, the county itself and the board of supervisors. Attorney Patrick McSweeney filed the petition on Batterson’s behalf. A good portion of the petition is spent describing a timeline of events starting on Jan. 8, when McSweeney, on Batterson’s behalf, made a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the county. He requested records related to changes to the road system including Page Road, the Stoneridge development, Carter Gallier Road, Luck Stone Road and its intersection with Route 60. He also requested records related to the adoption and amendment of the Subdivision Ordinance during the previous two years. In response to McSweeney’s request, the county said it would take an estimated 27 hours of staff time and approximately $896 in actual costs to fulfill the request. The petition lays out a series of correspondence between McSweeney and county attorney Tom Lacheney that followed in the weeks after that initial request. The correspondence detailed the petitioner’s objection to the county’s

“unreasonable” fee for the work and the back and forth that occurred between the two parties. In the weeks that followed, the petitioner narrowed the focus of the requests and the county lowered the fee, with them ultimately supplying the documents. However, the petitioner still filed the petition for mandamus making several allegations against the county. It alleged: the board of supervisors have repeatedly voted to go into closed session without making a motion that specifies what they will discuss; the county did not produce the FOIA requested documents in the time allotted to it by state code; the county had no legal authority to invoke an extension it made during the back and forth about the FOIA request; the initial $896 charge the county charged was unreasonable and violated state code; another $1,356 insisted on by the county to be paid by the petitioner in response to record production was also unreasonable and unauthorized; and the county violated state code by withholding all documents pertaining to an investigation into how the auxiliary turn lanes language was removed even if they didn’t meet the

standard for not releasing them. As a result, the petitioner made several requests of the court: mandate that the county produce all public records requested by him at an actual and reasonable cost; declare the seven-day extension the county invoked through Virginia code did not apply in the way it was used by the county; permanently enjoin the supervisors from approving motions to go into a closed meeting without adequately specifying the subject matter of the meeting; and award the petitioner his costs and attorney’s fees. On Wednesday, April 11, Lacheney filed an answer to the petition for mandamus and injunction. It agreed on many but not all of the initial FOIA request timeline points and denied all of the allegations cited against the county. It also made a few claims about the costs it had charged and why they were not excessive. The answer asked the court to dismiss the petition for mandamus with prejudice and require the petitioner to pay $1,356.33 to the county for actual costs in producing the requested documents.

PCPS to hold kindergarten registration day April 19 Contributed Report Children who are 5 years old by Sept. 30 can start kindergarten in the fall, but first they need to be registered. Thursday, April 19 is the day for ontime registration for children in Powhatan County. Registration is at the elementary school in your attendance zone. To find your attendance zone, visit www.powhatan.k12.va.us or call 804-598-5700. Registration in Powhatan County is from 8 a.m. to noon and 4 to 7 p.m. on April 19. There is quite a bit of paperwork needed to register a child for kindergarten, and pulling everything together takes time. Par-

ents and caregivers are still encouraged to attend registration even if they do not have all the documents because exceptions could apply. The documents needed for registration are: Child’s official, certified birth certificate or school age affidavit in accordance with state law; Two proofs of address; School Entrance Health Form (This can be turned in any time before the first day of school); and Photo ID for parent or legal guardian.

search shows that without access to outof-school learning activities, children fall behind academically. Children also gain weight twice as fast during summer than the school year. As spring turns to summer, Healthy Kids Day is a powerful reminder not to let children idle away their summer days. Instead, the Y wants families to focus on helping children imagine what they can accomplish over the summer. “When a child is healthy, happy, and supported they can make great things happen,” says Adam Foster, executive director of the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA. “We believe in the potential of all children, and we strive to help kids find that potential within themselves. A child’s development is never on vacation, and Healthy Kids Day is a great opportunity to educate families and motivate kids to stay active in spirit, mind and body throughout the summer.” The Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day takes place at 2269 Mann Road.

Students get infusion of culture Contributed Report Language arts teachers with Powhatan County Public Schools used a grant from the Powhatan Education Foundation to bring an afternoon of culture to 850 local students. On Thursday, March 22, the “No Child Left behind Culture" program saw about 250 Pocahontas Middle School students and about 600 Powhatan High School students attending a free production by the Latin Ballet of Virginia conducted by the renowned Ana Ines King at the high school. Organizers José Luis Reyes López, department head of world languages at the middle school, and Rae Shrewsberry, the district department head of world languages, were excited to have some special guests for this occasion. “This was such an awesome opportunity that the Powhatan Education Foundation helped us fund for not only our world language students, but for everyone in general,” Shrewsberry said. “The cool part is that we were able to have an ‘in-school field trip’cost free. As world language teachers we are trying to build up our language programs, we have a lot of talented language learners and future bilingual students. We strive for our students to actually speak in the target language as well as exposing

tion, and the 5/5Y rating represents a two-level improvement over the last classification. “The PCC evaluation was last performed in 2001,” Singer said. “At that time, Powhatan dropped from an ISO class 9/10 to a 7/9. ISO sets their own review cycle of 10 to 15 years, but a department can request an updated review if they feel they have made substantial changes.” ISO notified Powhatan Fire and Rescue in late summer of 2017 it would be conducting its evaluation in the fall to allow the local department time to gather the required documentation, Singer said. On Nov. 6, 2017, the ISO representative met with assistant chief Pat Schoeffel, 911 director Tom Nolan, and representatives from the public works department to review the documentation and visit random sites throughout the county. Singer said that when his department heard about the results of the new PPC classification, they were happy to see the hard work over the years by the volunteers and staff had resulted in a better classifica-

tion. It shows by working together and setting common goals, the department can continue to improve, he said. Additional equipment such as the county’s first ladder truck, additional training including an emphasis on rural water supply operations, an increase in daytime staffing, and a decrease in 911 call processing time all helped contribute to the lower classification, Singer said. Those improvements were not directly cited, he said, but they do know that such items as now having the ladder truck directly affected the score by almost four points, along with improvements in 911, which received an overall grade of 8.25 out of 10. “The PPC report also shows us areas in which we can improve. While some items like more hydrants throughout the county may not be immediately correctable, increased training with proper documentation is an area we can work on. Our overall rating was 57.58. We will strive to reach Class 4 (60.00) or higher over the next five years,” Singer said. In a split classification of 5/5Y, the first number refers to the classification of properties within 5 road miles of a fire station and within 1,000 feet of a credit-

able water supply (fire hydrant or dry hydrant). The second number, with the Y designation, applies to properties within 5 road miles of a fire station but beyond 1,000 feet of a creditable water supply. ISO generally assigns a Class 10 to properties beyond 5 road miles from a fire station. Many insurance companies, except Farm Bureau, use the ISO classification to help in figuring a homeowner’s insurance premium, according to Singer. Residents may look at their renewal, or if they are getting a new policy it should show the "class" or "classification" on the policy. The new rating goes into effect July 1, 2018. To find out if they may see savings and how much, residents should contact their insurance agents. The new classification should help all residents within the 5 road miles of a fire station and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant or dry hydrant. Residents that don’t have a dedicated water source nearby or live outside the 5 mile rule may or may not see a significant change in their premium. Either way, homeowners should check with their insurance carrier, ask about the new classification 5/5Y, and see how it can hope-

fully save some money. The Powhatan Fire and Rescue Continuous Improvement Plan 2017-2022 identifies several areas in which the department hopes to continue to strengthen over the next five years. The plan was developed throughout fall 2017 through multiple workshops held with stakeholders from all the volunteer companies, Singer said. It will help continue to strengthen the volunteer membership and meet the growing needs of the county. The department has implemented a new online training system to help better instruct and track required ISO training, it is taking steps toward constructing a regional fire and EMS training facility, and has applied for a federal grant to hire a part-time community risk reduction individual, according to Singer. These items, along with the current communications/911 projects such as a new computer aided dispatch (CAD) system, radios, and emergency 911 communications center, will help the department improve its classification further. The PCFRD Continuous Improvement Plan 2017-2022 is available on the Department’s website http://www.powhatanva.gov/236/Fire-Rescue.

Spring in Powhatan means plenty of things to do By Laura McFarland News Editor

’m going to throw a statement out there that may or may not be true: Spring is here. If you have stepped outside at all in the last six weeks, you understand why the yo-yo that has been the recent weather pattern has me saying that with a little uncertainty. But, let’s for a moment assume it’s true. When spring hits Powhatan, the local social calendar literally takes off like a rocket. As the one who compiles the newspaper’s community calendar, I can vouch for this. It’s a great time in Powhatan because everyone is so ready to head outside for some entertainment and they all have their own fun and different ways to welcome the arrival of sunshine (hopefully) and a little extra warmth. That’s not unique to Powhatan, of course, but with such a diverse lineup of events in the coming weeks, it is evident the local community is doing its best to give residents and visitors alike a great experience in our county. If you want to celebrate all things nature related, why wait? The annual Powhatan Earth Day Celebration will be held on April 19, starting with a tree planting at the Powhatan Animal Control Office and continuing a few hours later with an entertaining and educational event on the Courthouse Green. Agriculture and all things equine will be front and center at the Celebration of the Horse and Ag Expo on May 5 at Rocky Oak Farm. Both events celebrate the various natural offerings Powhatan has to

offer and include children’s activities, educational displays, and food for sale. If being outdoors and more active with the arrival of spring helps you work up an appetite, there are several upcoming festivals centered around food and drink. The Powhatan Moose Family Center will hold its first Powhatan Seafood Festival on April 21 at its center and offer some tasty seafood treats. Head back on land and grab a plate of pulled beef brisket and fixings at the annual Steer Roast on April 25 at the Powhatan Rescue Squad Field. The Powhatan Rotary Club’s Virginia Hops and Barley will put Virginia micro-brew beers front and center on May 12 at Westchester Commons, and unlimited tastings are back by popular demand. Rounding out the group, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School will hold its annual Beef and Music Festival on May 18 at the school with its barbecue dinner. Food may be the primary focus of these events, but they also include entertainment, games for adults and children, and the chance to shop or participate in raffles and auctions. The weekend of April 28 and 29 will be an extremely busy one for Powhatan with three annual events overlapping each other. Thankfully, because of the overlapping hours, it is possible to get to two or even three of them if you wanted to try a variety of activities. Powhatan’s Festival of Fiber will celebrate and share an appreciation of the many fiber animals, fiber farmers and fiber artisans of the county and surrounding region on April 28 at 3920 Marion Harland Lane. The annual Powhatan Spring Antique Power Show will bring back its mix of antique gas engines and tractor displays, craft vendors,

live entertainment, children’s activities, an auction, a flea market and more on April 28 and 29. A country drive around Powhatan is great, but participating in the annual Free Clinic of Powhatan Bike Tour on April 29 gives riders the chance to see the county at a slower pace so they can better soak in its loveliness. And if you are looking for a bit of a spectacle you are covered with two events in May. The Powhatan County Fair has one more year until it reaches 100, so people are invited to party like it’s 99 on May 18 to 20 at the Powhatan County Fairgrounds with rides, games and shows. The bi-annual Powhatan Bullnanza will return with bull riding, cowgirl barrel racing, kids mutton bustin and more when it is held on May 26 at Rocky Oak Farm. Powhatan has some recurring events that will allow you to enjoy yourself several times this year. The Westchester Farmers Market (formerly Powhatan Farmers Market) opens for the season on May 3 and continues every Thursday through October. Powhatan Chamber of Commerce’s annual Village Vibe concert series kicked off last week, but there are still four more concerts this summer and fall that will have you out enjoying a night of music with your neighbors, starting with the next concert on May 11 at 3920 Marion Harland Drive. Whether you have lived here most of your life or moved in last week, this is a great time of year for getting out and seeing what Powhatan has to offer. What is even better, most of these events dedicate all or a good portion of the proceeds to local charities and nonprofits that help provide vital services to Powhatan residents, so it’s a win-win for everybody.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Taxpayers bear drunk driving burden Dear Editor, Our police department has improved at catching drunk drivers. The courts are busier than ever. The expense to apprehend, prosecute, rehabilitate, and punish offenders grows exponentially. Who pays for all this? The hardworking, compliant taxpayer. But he can’t keep up! The can’t solve the problem. Bandaids never cure cancer. As the conundrum spins out of control, the state adds more laws, more manpower, more programs. And the red tape mounts. Deficit spending heads for the stratosphere. Unless we as individuals return to God and morality, we are doomed! Powhatan County, the state of Virginia, and the central government cannot make our highways safe from dangerous, drunken drivers. They can only tax and tax and tax until the money fails and a tyrant takes over. Clark Adams Powhatan County

Free Clinic thankful for volunteer efforts Dear Editor, The Free Clinic of Powhatan, in celebration of National Volunteer Week, thanks its many volunteers for countless hours of their valuable time. I don’t know of any organization that can boast of having a better and more compassionate group of folks that devote so many hours caring about their fellow man. Besides their time they give their touch, their hearts and sometimes their tears hearing the hardships many of the Free Clinic’s patients endure. Who is the “typical” volunteer? The Fair Labor Standards Act claims that it

is an individual who performs hours of service for an organization, civic, charitable or humanitarian reasons, without promise, expectation or compensation for services rendered. What are the benefits of volunteering? In the public sector volunteers provide cost-savings and productivity gains to organizational endeavors. They supplement the workforce and volunteers who are trained and experienced providing a ready pool of applicants for employment. It is an effective way to interject public participation into governmental or non-profit operations and decision-making processes. For organizations and charities, volunteering often brings value to the services provided, promotes social harmony and interaction, provides enthusiasm and promotes extra resources and many times much needed skills. Volunteering is also a social entity, bringing together people with common interests encouraging socialization and the development of friendships with peers. Where does the “typical” volunteer? Statistics claim: Religious (in nature) organizations claim the most volunteers; This is followed by educational or youth oriented, then social and community organizations, then by hospital and health organizations; Parents with children under the age of 18 volunteer more than over the age of 18; Volunteer rates are higher for married people than singles. For all of the above facts and statistics the Free Clinic thanks its many volunteers. The Free Clinic provides all services (medical, dental, mental health, women’s health, case management, specialty physician care, lab services, prescriptions, education) to the Free Clinic’s patients free of charge. The clinic is able to provide these much needed health services to over 1,300 registered patients with the services and talents the volunteers have provided to the clinic. With much appreciation we thank all our volunteers. We must thank our 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

board of directors, who diligently review and guide the principles and actions of the Free Clinic. They are always cognizant in making sure we serve by our mission. There would be no Free Clinic of Powhatan without our trusted, professional volunteer staff of doctors, nurses, a pharmacist, lab techs and our CNAs. We could not function without the dedicated help of our talented and numerous administrative workers and program coordinators. They provide the day-to-day operations of the clinic. They coordinate all volunteers, programs, all dental clinic information and appointments. They are busy admitting patients for their clinical appointments, registering new or recertifying existing patients. They take care of all our paper work (Access Now, prescription services, data input), making new appointments, keeping and updating patients’ records, making phone calls, helping with funding and fundraising, etc. The list goes on and on and I thank each and every one of them for their countless hours at the clinic. Over the last 10 years of operating the Free Clinic volunteers have saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars in salary support. The volunteers at the clinic fall into the “typical” volunteer category, but that is in name only. There is nothing typical about our volunteers. They serve the clinic and the patients with not just their time but with their hearts. They go ‘above and beyond” to make sure each patient is treated with respect, compassion, knowledge and understanding of procedures, medications, their illnesses and treatments. They try to make sure the “whole patient” is treated since there are so many issues that accompany so many of the patients. So during this Week of the Volunteers, I say thank you, thank you to each and every volunteer that has touched the lives of the patients at the Free Clinic. Always remember without you there would be no Free Clinic of Powhatan. Connie Moslow Executive director Free Clinic of Powhatan

TOURISM Continued from pg. 1

The goal of the workshop was to identify what current tourism assets Powhatan County has as well as what future possibilities might exist, said Roxanne Lewis Salerno, the county’s new economic development program manager. “We want to showcase that Powhatan has amazing assets to explore and utilize. We also want to work to connect the tourism industry with more local businesses to increase their positive economic impact upon the county at large,” she said. The workshop was a wonderful opportunity for the tourism community of Powhatan to meet each other and find ways to collaborate and promote tourism within the county, Salerno said. The feedback given will be used by county staff as well as the Virginia Tourism Corporation to develop a tourism plan, which the county can consider implementing to further grow the local tourism industry. Sandra Tanner, partnership marketing development specialist with the Virginia Tourism Corporation, led the full day of activities, which were meant to both examine what resources Powhatan has and can immediately build on as well as possible visions for the future. During the different exercises, Tanner encouraged the participants to have a vision but make sure it was grounded in reality. “Think about the stars, but we are not going to go to the board of supervisors and say we want this and you need to fund this,” Tanner said early on in the day, encouraging the participants to also think about ways to fund their ideas. Before the activities, Tanner gave a presentation that focused on tourism’s role in the economy. It is a direct contributor to local economies through revenue generation, helps in job creation and retention, aids with small business development, acts as an engine for industrial development, brings a sense of community pride, brings a higher quality of life, and emphasizes local culture. She also made connections to the 2016 Economic Development Strategic Plan, which identified tourism and agribusiness as a strategy for economic restructuring, and the 2010 Comprehensive Plan, which includes a goal of promoting environmentally sensitive tourism that attracts visitors from outside the county. Tanner talked about the impact tour-

rate is worth $333,421, and a half cent decrease worth $167,064. Beginning with the revenue neutral tax rate of 88.2, which is where he said he wanted to start to avoid a tax rate increase, Nordvig pointed out it would only take an additional $83,000 in cuts to get down to 88 cents. “I think we can find $83,000 out of

ism has on typically tourism-centered businesses, such as campgrounds, cabins and cottages, breweries, wineries, theater and music venues, and history and heritage sites. But she also pointed to the ancillary businesses that benefit, such as caterers, food and drink distributors, ad agencies, electricians, cleaning services, lawn care, event planners, security companies, and florists. “If economic development is about creating community wealth, then tourism should be considered a very important strategy for every community,” she said later. In Virginia, more than 60 million annual visitors spend an average of $65 million a day in Virginia and employ 230,000 people, Tanner said. In Powhatan County, visitors spent

$9.3 million in 2016, generating $196,000 in local taxes annually and $334,000 in state taxes, she said. Tourism also supported 96 jobs. Throughout the day, Tanner had the participants do several exercises, including sharing up to three wishes they had for Powhatan County, reviewing what current and potential assets the county has that could build tourism, listing some of the infrastructure gaps and red flags that might prevent tourism growth, envisioning the community a decade down the road and what might have developed, and even planning actual itineraries based on what is available in Powhatan now. The workshop also had a special visitor with Andy Edmunds, director of the Virginia Film Office, who talked about Powhatan’s growing role in the state’s film industry. He talked about the State Farm property in particular and how the state developed the historical set there that became a major asset for attracting film crews to the state.

and what residents want to create here. “It seemed like most folks are in agreement that Powhatan is growing and we would like to be a part of the changes,” she said. “The group highlighted goals, ideas, red flags (that) may hinder our progress, and infrastructure changes we need to promote tourism in our county and keep businesses shopping local.” Michele Ward, owner of Sweet Shop Donuts Café, said she attended the workshop to understand and promote tourism that will support local businesses. “I envision local businesses and government working together to have a productive county,” she said. Tanner said the ideas generated by the participants at the workshop will be worked into a plan developed by staff in her office to present to the county. After working with county staff on the plan, they hope to bring it back to the participants in another workshop in the fall to get input on what they developed.

tens of millions. And I think it is important for this board to continue to have incentive to look for other avenues of revenues besides our neighbors’ pockets,” Nordvig said. Of note was the fact that for the rest of the discussion until the board took the vote about advertising the tax rate, the amount that would need to be cut was always referred to as $83,000. It was only after the vote for the advertised tax rate was taken and as the supervisors

“I wanted to create physical assets that would take the place of writing a check for giving tax credits,” he said. Edmunds also touched on other sites being potential filming locations. People who are interested in having a property become a filming location can make it known through a database on www.filmvirginia.org. The entries are reviewed to pick the best potential assets to present for people looking for a variety of film sites – “we want ruins as well as mansions.” Margo Ickes, co-owner of DRP Collision, said she attended the workshop with her husband because as business owners and local residents, they want to be part of the growth and future of the county.

We still have to rely on outside agency assistance but the bulk of our examinations we can do in-house,” Schwartz said. “Previously if we got a cell phone from a suspect on a homicide, robbery or any type of crime, we would have to rely on an outside agency to forensically examine that device to give us a report for that device.” Schwartz pointed out that in addition to the new skill set he brought back to the department, one of the biggest boons of his attending the course was that the sheriff’s office received equipment that, when combined with the training, is valued at about $40,000. However, it didn’t cost the sheriff’s office a dime except for his salary while he was attending the training. The National Computer Forensic Institute (NCFI) is a federally funded training center run by the United States Secret Service’s Criminal Investigative Division and the Alabama Office of Prosecution Services. It is dedicated to instructing state and local officials in digital evidence and cyber crime investigations. Schwartz was sponsored to attend the course by the Richmond Field Office for the United State Secret Service, which covered his airfare, room and board for a month, per diem, equipment, and training. The equipment Schwartz was able to bring back to the sheriff’s office would have cost upwards of $25,000 or more, he added. “The first week I was back I was utilizing the equipment and training I received on Powhatan cases,” he said. Sheriff Brad Nunnally said he saw only benefits for his office with Schwartz having this certification. He likes his deputies to attend advanced training that helps his office become more self-sufficient, and therefore more efficient. “While we have enjoyed a lot of support from outside agencies, just by the nature of not being in that agency, we may not be a priority. If they have work they need to get done, we may get put on the backburner. Whereas here, we are able to make it a priority,” he said. It has the added benefit that instead of getting a huge data dump, Schwartz can pinpoint information so deputies aren’t sifting through a great deal of unrelated material. Nunnally said that when Schwartz approached him about the training, he realized it involved getting training for free that would normally cost thousands of dollars if they did it in the private sector. “We are striving to get to the level of self sufficiency you don’t see until you get to those 400 and 500-person agencies. We are finding ways to do it economically and without having to put a train on our already strained county budget,” Nunnally said.

were discussing what budget amount the county would advertise that Williams pointed out the budget would actually have to be cut by $167,064. During the tax rate discussion, Nordvig said that since the board of supervisors had not “really done a great job of us aggressively bringing in commercial revenue” he thought it was a good idea that the board should “have to feel the pinch a little bit, tighten our belts.” Williams clarified with Charla Schubert, director of finance, that the 88.5 cent tax rate wouldn’t have to be advertised as a tax increase because it was a small enough difference that it wasn’t required. However, it was still technically an increase. Nordvig argued the supervisors had campaigned on the promise of lower taxes and that whether it tripped a metric set by the state or not, it was asking residents to pay more money. Williams said that when the board increased the tax rate to 90 cents two years ago, they committed to work to bring the tax rate down over the next few years, and they started last year with the 1.5 cent decrease. Going down another half cent would be an “incremental step to get back to where we came from a couple of years ago when we had that increase.” “So, I think it is keeping with our commitment. What we said was we wanted to reduce it over the next years to get back where it was, and I think what Mr. Nordvig has proposed is in keeping with what we said,” Williams said. Melton pointed out that because of both increases and decreases in recent years, the board has had no effective tax rate increase in recent years by going to 88.5 cents last year and was able to accomplish a great deal of pay-as-you-go projects in the meantime. He supported advertising an 88.5 cent tax rate and then the public could come and give input on if they thought there should be cuts. Prior to Nordvig’s motion, the board had no discussion about “cutting $83,000” and where it could

come from, he said. “I am willing, but I need to understand where the monies are coming from,” Melton said. During the discussion, it seemed like the board was going to start the work then to find where in the budget they would want to cut $83,000 (again, the $167,064 had not been pointed out yet). Williams said he would not be supporting the creation of two part-time receptionist positions in county administration because he does not feel they are necessary yet. This would cut $26,869 from the budget. The supervisors also had brief discussions about a new position that would handle the county’s GIS, CAD and LMR systems and creating a new position in human resources. Ultimately they decided to have the county staff decide where cuts could be made using input from the supervisors. The advertised tax rate was then voted on and the brief discussion on the budget amount to advertise raised the question of the $167,064 in cuts. The board was likely to discuss the cuts that were decided on at its next budget meeting on Monday, April 16, which occurred after this edition went to print. While it was not discussed in the meeting, it is likely the Powhatan County School Board’s budget will be impacted by the cuts since the amount of transfers are based on a percentage of net total taxes. Since the advertised real estate tax rate on which the budget would be built had already been decided on, the board then voted unanimously to advertise the budget at the amount it would be if based on an 88 cent tax rate. The total proposed advertised budget is $109,530,098 - less transfers is $82,117,580 - an increase of $1,604,657 from FY18. The board also went through the fiveyear capital improvement projects list deciding which ones would stay on the list and which ones would be removed.

County issues releases addressing safety of roads near new businesses By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN- Powhatan County staff has sought to correct the record on what they saw as erroneous and misleading information being spread about roads in the county by releasing safety reviews of two recent projects. During the board of supervisors’ budget workshop on Monday, April 9, county administrator Ted Voorhees released two transportation reviews done by Andrew Pompei, interim planning director. The two reviews address the access management standards in regard to the new CVS at the corner of Dorset Road and Anderson Highway and the Stoneridge development being built at the corner of Luck Stone Road and Anderson Highway. The documents especially focus on the entrances into the two developments. “There have been a few citizens raising some questions about the safety of the turn lanes and site access at the CVS project and Stoneridge, so I asked staff to prepare a short memo and talk about the approval process,” Voorhees said. “To our best understanding as well as VDOT’s, there are no safety issues there that would require us to spend any public dollars.” The reviews were about the process used to approve the plans, Voorhees said in a separate interview. The projects were inspected during construction and are substantially compliant with the approved plans. “The engineers at the Virginia Department of Transportation are the primary safety authority for Virginia’s highways. They have deemed these projects safe,” he said. “Furthermore, I have been overseeing roadway and commercial entrance construction review agencies for more than two decades. I see nothing to substantiate the claims of insufficiency.” Both full documents can be viewed on the county’s website, http://www.powhatanva.gov/ under the “News Flash” tab. The report on the CVS project addressed a few points that have been the

subject of contentious debate in recent weeks: Access standards: VDOT requires entrance spacing of at least 495 feet along a principal arterial road (U.S. Route 60), but Powhatan County has more stringent standards, requiring a minimum spacing of 625 feet between entrances. VDOT approved an exception to the spacing requirements, provided the westernmost entrance (in front of CVS) was right-in only, and a concrete island had to be installed at the easternmost entrance to prevent left turns leaving the site. With the approved exception from VDOT, the westernmost entrance is 406 feet from Dorset Road. The two site entrances are 468 feet apart. Additionally, VDOT would require that a full-access entrance on Dorset Road be at least 445 feet from Route 60, while Powhatan County requires a fullaccess entrance on Dorset Road to be at least 625 feet from Route 60. The fullaccess entrance on Dorset Road is approximately 475 feet from Route 60. Right-turn lanes were constructed at both entrances to the internal road network, and there is a left-turn lane from westbound U.S. Route 60 into the easternmost entrance. The developer submitted a traffic analysis to VDOT (dated Nov. 11, 2016), which included a turn lane warrant analysis and crash analysis. The study looked at all entrances from Route 60 and Dorset Road. Based on current traffic volumes and traffic projections, the analysis submitted indicates that turn lanes along Dorset Road are not warranted. Off-site improvements: There is no express or implied authority in the enabling legislation allowing a locality to require off-site road improvements as a condition of subdivision plat or site plan approval. CVS and surrounding commercial development are permitted byright with the current zoning [General Commercial (C) and Residential – Commercial (R-C)], and there are no proffered conditions associated with the site. Based on this, Powhatan County could see SAFETY, pg. 10

February 2017, Luck Stone Road was a private, dead-end road that had not been accepted into the state secondary system (although a connection to Carter Gallier Boulevard was planned). The roadway is unclassified on the Major Thoroughfare Plan, which is part of the Comprehensive Plan. Access standards for private roads: There are no county standards for turn lanes along private or local roads, but the project would have to adhere to standards set forth by VDOT. Based on the information provided in the site plan, the current level of development does not trigger a need for turn lanes. Future development along Stoneridge Commerce Drive (the private access drive) may require the construction of turn lanes, depending upon the results of trip generation analyses completed in conjunction with the site plan review process for future projects. For local roads with a speed limit less than 45 miles per hour, Powhatan County requires that driveways be at least 200 feet from intersection corners, depending upon the design speed. The southern rightin/right-out entrance is approximately 335 feet from U.S. Route 60, and there is 230 feet between the southern right-in/right-out entrance and the northern full-access entrance. Greater spacing distances are required for local roads with higher speed limits and for higher-classification roadways. In a separate interview, District 1 supervisor David Williams, who first raised an alarm about the

projects at a meeting on Feb. 26, said he finds the reviews faulty. In regard to CVS, Williams said VDOT is required to use the most stringent standards, which it didn’t do, and on top of that gave the developer a waiver to those lesser standards. County staff should have used Powhatan’s standards, and then there should have been discussion about whether the county wanted to waive those standards, not VDOTs, he maintained. With the Stoneridge project, the key problem is in the way the project was done, Williams said. Powhatan County classifies Luck Stone Road as a local road, but since it acts as the entrance to the quarry, Walmart, and the future Stoneridge development and it will also be connecting to Carter Gallier Road, that road classification isn’t sufficient, he said. “You’ve got double turn lanes off of Route 60 going into the Luck Stone Road, which my staff says is a local road. How does that happen? The classification of the road determines your entrance spacing for your access management,” he said. The local road standard has a lesser spacing requirement than a collector road or a higher road than that, a minor arterial, Williams said. “So, when they say that it meets the spacing requirement for a local road, yes it does, but it is not a local road, it is a collector road, which has a 440-foot spacing requirement,” he said. The developers should have been required to

show the entire development plan and be able to provide a thoroughfare plan that met not only the existing background traffic but the trip generation from the whole development that is being phased in, Williams maintained. The county should be approving projects using its own more stringent standards, he reiterated. “That is the reason we developed access management standards that were more stringent than VDOTs, because we wanted to preserve the functionality of the roads and preserve public safety of the roads in Powhatan County for as long as long as possible – not just today, not just tomorrow, but five or 10 years going out to the future,” he said. After releasing the two reviews to the public, Voorhees said in a separate interview that the county is working with VDOT to clarify and document review and approval processes to minimize future concerns of this nature. However, as to CVS and Stoneridge, nothing further is warranted. “I believe staff addressed these projects consistent with past practices. As stated above, there is room for improvement, including better documentation and clarity of roles between Powhatan County and VDOT staff,” Voorhees said. “Having said that, all parties worked to approve these projects in alignment with appropriate standards to protect public safety while balancing the property rights of the landowners.”

Powhatan girls lacrosse grabs two district wins By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatan’s girls lacrosse team never took the lead from the Patrick Henry Patriots on April 11, but the Indians made the Patriots work for every single goal. Despite several surges from the Indians offense, and forcing a tied score twice, Powhatan fell to Patrick Henry

16-7 at Powhatan High School. “I was so proud of how the girls played today,” head coach Laura Camp said. “They have improved one-hundred fold. We’re so proud of how the girls are playing and how they’ve come together as a team.” Patrick Henry jumped out to an early 2-0 lead before Nailah Chambers scored nine minutes into the game to make it 2-1. After another Patriots goal, the Indi-

ans scored twice, with Chambers scoring her second along with Hailey Camp adding her name to the score sheet to tie the game at 3-3. The Patriots answered with a goal, but Reagan Thomas netted one to tie the game at 4-4. Patrick Henry then went on a threegoal run to make it 7-4 before Michaela Taylor stopped the streak with a goal to make it 7-5.

The Patriots ended the half on a threegoal run again to open the game up to 10-5 at halftime. In the second half, Ashley Van Buskirk and Thomas scored back-to-back goals to make it an 11-7 game and push the Indians toward making a comeback. “They played with a lot of heart,” Camp said. “I feel like we had possession see INDIANS, pg. 3B

nce a fire gets going, it is difficult to put it out. But, getting the fire to start is the tricky part. The Powhatan Indians boys lacrosse team caught fire in the second, third, and fourth quarters of the game against the Patrick Henry Patriots on April 11 at Powhatan High School. But, a 6-0 lead built by the Patriots in the first quarter was too much for the Indians to overcome in a 16-12 final. “We have a talented team, but we make silly mistakes that keep hurting us,” Indians head coach Joe Niles said. “I

don’t think a team has really beaten us this year as much as we’ve beaten ourselves. We’re still young and working through some things. But, overall not a terrible effort and I’m not completely upset by the performance.” The Patriots stood on their 6-0 lead after the first quarter until Carter Massengill ended the scoring drought for the Indians to open the second. Patrick Henry responded with another goal to make it 7-1, prior to the Indians getting multiple chances on net during a five-on-five opportunity. Those chances led to Corey Palmore to score the first of his six goals on the see LACROSSE, pg. 4B

Eight Powhatan athletes make commitments By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Eight Powhatan athletes made their college athletic ambitions official on two separate days at Powhatan High School. First, three Indians football players signed their college commitments on April 10. Gabe Satterwhite signed his National Letter of Intent to Old Dominion University. “It’s a big relief,” Satterwhite said of his signing. Old Dominion plays in the Football Championship Series of Division-I NCAA football and is one of the newest programs in the state. The Monarchs began playing football in 2007 and are members of Conference USA. Satterwhite said the success that the Monarchs have had in their existence was one thing that drew him to the school. “They’re a really good football program,” he said. “They’re young, so there’s a lot to learn there. They’re on track to be very successful. I thought that if I went there, I’d have a good chance to be a champion.” Satterwhite is a dualthreat, having performed for the Indians on both offense and defense. Satterwhite participated in the Big River Rivalry game at Randolph-Macon following the 2017 season at the wide receiver position. Satterwhite said he hopes to study to become a physician’s assistant while he’s at ODU. He said that he’ll always remember the bonds that he made with his friends and teammates at Powhatan. “Just the family bonding I made,” he said. “(I’ll remember) the brothers that I’ll always have (from the football team.)” Ben Nowacki and Noah Dowdy, the other two football players to sign along with Satterwhite, both committed to HampdenSydney College. “It’s awesome,” Nowacki said. “It’s something you see on TV when you’re little and you want to be like the guys doing it on TV. Now that the day is

here, I’m happy to do it. There’s no other feeling to describe it.” Nowacki said that he took several visits to different colleges and that he hadn’t really considered Hampden-Sydney as an option for him before his cousin suggested checking out the Tigers. But, once he arrived on campus, that mindset was completely reversed. “I went for a game and it was a done deal from there,” he said. “It felt like home. They really welcomed you and made you feel wanted there.” He chose HampdenSydney over schools like Ferrum, Shenandoah and Bridgewater. “Hampden-Sydney’s football program and the way they run it…they’re one of the top programs in the state,” Nowacki said. “It was really their coaches and the way they ran things. The tempo was insane. It’s a lot quicker than high school ball.” Similar to both Satterwhite and Dowdy, Nowacki performed well on both offense and defense for the Indians at running back and linebacker. Nowacki said that where he’s going to play in college is still up in the air. “We’re talking about what side of the ball they want me on,” he said. “They’re talking about an H-back or slot receiver type role or a strong safety. Between the two, I’m OK with either. Wherever they want me, I’ll do my best.” Nowacki said that he wants to study Business or Economics. When he remembers Powhatan, Nowacki said that he’ll remember the team camaraderie. “We really came together as a group,” he said. “It was something crazy. I made some relationships and friends that’ll last forever.” Dowdy only spent one year at Powhatan after playing at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in his previous high school seasons. Dowdy was the starting quarterback for the Indians this season and played on defense as well. He played

several different positions, including quarterback, while at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. He said it was a long process to end up as a Tiger and it was a relief to sign with his teammates. “I’m glad to get it over with an excited for the next four years,” he said. Dowdy said that Hampden-Sydney represented a welcoming, friendly and family-like atmosphere that he likened to the community in Powhatan. Hampden-Sydney and Randolph-Macon were Dowdy’s top two schools. “It was cool to have different schools come and see me,” he said. “But, in terms of going over the top football-wise, HampdenSydney wanted me to play safety, which was a big thing for me. I like playing on the other side of the ball than I usually have been playing. It just felt like home to me, really. I knew that’s where I wanted to go the whole time.” Indians football coach Jim Woodson said that he was extremely proud to see three of his seniors continue to play at the next level. “All three are great, outstanding young men and great ballplayers,” he said. “I’m really happy they get to play college football and get a great education, which is of the utmost importance. It’s awesome for our school and the community.” On April 11, five more Powhatan athletes signed on the dotted line for where they’ll spend their next four years. Powhatan baseball players Tommy Preston, Trenton Tiller and Nick Rini committed to Lynchburg, Hampden-Sydney and Lackawana, respectively. Indians cross country and track athlete Brooke Dippold will run at Longwood and Gatlin Snyder will play field hockey at Randolph-Macon. Preston said that he was really excited to start the next chapter of his life and that playing summer ball was a big reason why he ended up at Lynchburg. “(Lynchburg) started calling me,” he said. “They

told me to come up to the campus. I really fell in love with the campus and the coaches. The education, the opportunity, the resources...it was a great opportunity and it all came together.” Preston said that he had a few other schools in mind, but they couldn’t compare to Lynchburg. He said that he plans to study nursing in college. Tiller said that Hampden-Sydney fit his preference of going to a smallersized college. “Hampden-Sydney came up, I went on a few visits, and thought ‘this is the one,’” he said. “It was small, not much difference from Powhatan, really. The coaches are great and the campus is beautiful.” Tiller chose the Tigers over Randolph-Macon. He said he plans to study Business. As the Hornets and Tigers are both members of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC), Tiller and Preston will go from teammates to opponents in college. Rini said that playing at Lackawana fulfills a goal he has had since was a kid. “It feels great,” he said. “It’s what I’ve been working toward.” Lackawana College is located in Pennsylvania and is a member of Region XIX of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

“I heard it was a really good school,” Rini said. “They develop players really well and I want to get to the next level, D-1, so it was a good choice in that regard. The coach is amazing and they work really hard.” Rini said that he’ll adjust well to the city-campus of Lackawana from Powhatan as he moved to the county from Pittsburgh. “Everyone (in Powhatan) is really supportive; it’s like a family here,” Rini said of what he’ll remember most of his time in Powhatan. He said he hopes to study Business with the hopes of opening his own baseball facility. For Dippold, she said that she never thought she’d have the chance to run in college and that it’s a “blessing” that it happened. “I was running at the Fred Hardy Invitational and Coach (Paul) Smartschan said that Coach (Daniel) Wooten from Longwood was there and was interested in me running there. Within a month, I was committed.” Wooten is now the interim head coach for the Lancers as Catherine Hanson resigned from the cross country head coaching position on April 13. Hanson was the coach of both the men’s and women’s teams for the past 11 years.

Dippold said that Longwood’s size and the people there made it very appealing. “It was really small and everyone there was very caring,” she said. “It was like a family. All the girls got along and were excited to do things together. That was great.” Dippold plans to study Mathematics in college. She said she’ll remember a lot about Powhatan, from the friends she made to the long runs during practices. For Snyder, she said it was a “surreal” feeling to sign with Randolph-Macon. “We did all this work, as a team, me and my coach and it paid off,” she said. “It shows that hard work and dedication do matter.” Snyder went to a playday in her junior year with the Yellow Jackets and said she “fell in love” with the coach and the team. “I fell in love with it immediately,” she said. “It was a great fit, for both of us.” As she was head-overheels for Randolph-Macon, it was the only school that she applied to, despite having other offers from other schools. Snyder said she’s going to study Chemistry with a focus in Forensic Science. The Yellow Jackets went 6-13 last season and 2-5 in the ODAC.

Indians boys soccer battle with Black Knights in 1-0 loss Sports Editor

Powhatan’s boys soccer team has seen the best of what the Jefferson District has to offer early in the season. Most recently, the Indians faced Charlottesville, which qualified for the Class 4 state championship last season and were state runner-up. The Black Knights scored in the 6th minute of play and that was all they needed in a 1-0 final on April 12. “We don’t lack heart, that’s for sure,” head coach Tim Cristian said. “I’m proud to coach this team. They just never give up. It’s been a bumpy road with the best teams we’ve been facing first. But, we’re getting better, there’s no doubt.”

of the ball a lot. Their passes were connecting and they were working together.” But, Patrick Henry scored five goals in a row to extinguish the Indians momentum and end any chance of a Powhatan rally. The loss was the only one of a three-game stretch for Powhatan. On April 10, the Indians defeated Fluvanna 173. Hailey Camp scored four goals and had three

But, it wasn’t for lack of chances that Powhatan had. The Indians pressed hard against the Black Knights defense throughout the game, producing quality chances throughout the final 74 minutes. Scott Harrelson came close several times throughout the game, most notably in the 8th and 21st minutes of play, but the Black Knights defense repelled those attacks. The Indians earned a corner in the 16th and 35th minutes, but both were turned away without a goal, despite shots on net after both set pieces. Powhatan’s defense also played level with the Black Knights defense, as they shut down multiple attempts by the Black Knights to pad their lead. In the 14th minute,

Charlottesville had a corner kick which resulted in a shot going off the bottom of the crossbar, but not crossing the goal line. In the 22nd minute came another volley from the Black Knights after a corner, but the Indians defense held. The biggest chance for Charlottesville game in the 29th minute, when it was awarded a penalty kick. But, the Black Knights missed the attempt wide left. “Our goalkeeper made some huge saves,” Cristian said. Cristian said that as his team continues to improve, he is figuring out some things about his team as well. “I got guys who haven’t played a lot come in and I didn’t take a kid off the field in because of how

Madeline Cecil scored two goals, while Jade Dowdy and Anna Grace Causey each added one goal. “The girls played amazing,” Laura Camp said. “They’re really taking what they learn in practice and executing it in the games. Our chemistry was amazing. Their teamwork was great. It shows how far we’ve come in our short little season so far.” On April 13, the Indi-

ans made it two-for-two in the Jefferson District on the week with an 11-8 win over Charlottesville. “We’re just really excited for what’s to come,” Camp said. “Other teams aren’t expecting us to be as good as we are right now.” Camp said that offensive shot placement, shooting strategy and defensive pressure on the ball were things to work on for her team. The Indians were scheduled to travel to Thomas Dale on April 16 and faced Matoaca on April 17.

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s baseball team is on a bit of a roll. The Knights won two games in a row, with wins over Cumberland on April 11 and a 12-2 win over Amelia Academy on April 12. “The kids did a really

good job,” head coach James Poore said. “They really battled. We’re coming together at the right time.” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot plated five runs in the bottom of the second inning, while the Patriots responded with two in the top of the third. The Knights added one run in the bottom of the

fourth before the flood gates opened in the bottom of the fifth. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot was able to take advantage of miscues by the Amelia Academy defense and solid hitting by the Knights. “We want our offense to be able to score in a lot of different ways,” he said. “Whether it’s executing a suicide-squeeze to get a guy in, maybe steal some bases…we want to have a number of ways to score runs. I’m really proud how they’re playing.” Owen Long was 3 for 3 with 4 RBIs for the Knights, while Noa Hasty was 2 for 3 with an RBI. In the win over the Dukes the day prior to the Amelia Academy game, the Knights trailed Cumberland in the sixth inning. However, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot was able to rally and won 11-6. That game showed Poore a lot in terms of how the team has been coming together this season. “Earlier in the year, we didn’t show a lot of coming back,” he said. “Yesterday, we fought back and got a win. That was good to see. We’re coming along and getting better and better.” As the Knights continue to improve, Poore hopes to see their approach at the plate continue to become

better as well. “The big thing is the approach at the plate and situational hitting,” he said. “If we have a guy on third, hit it to the right side with less than two outs or a fly ball to get the guy in from third. Our pitchers just need to keep throwing strikes. If we can catch the ball and throw strikes, we’ll be doing OK and we’ll surprise some folks.” Over at Powhatan, the Indians baseball team grabbed two district wins. On April 10, the Indians won on the road at Western Albemarle in a 3-0 final. Trenton Tiller pitched a complete game and allowed just two hits. Brad Painter was 1 for 3 and Jacob Biel was 1 for 1, each with an RBI for the Indians. On April 14, Powhatan rolled past Charlottesville in a 16-0 final. Logan Amiss got the Indians scoring going with a two-run home run which hit the scoreboard at the baseball field. Amiss was 2 for 2 with 2 RBIs for the Indians, while Brandon Eike was 3 for 4 with 4 RBIs. Powhatan amassed 14 hits against the Black Knights, while Charlottesville had just one in the five-inning game.

day to make it 7-2. Palmore scored about 22 seconds later to make it 7-3 and got the Indians offense going. “He sets the pace for the team,” Niles said of Palmore. “He’s a leader for the team. He’s our spark plug.” Robbie Williams just missed a chance to make it 7-4 with 1:45 left in the half. Patrick Henry scored just before the horn sounded for halftime to send the game to the break with an 8-3 score. The Patriots opened with a goal in the third quarter to make it 9-3 before Palmore scored backto-back goals to reel Patrick Henry back in at a 9-5 score. The Patriots responded with three goals in a row before Jared Somerville scored to break that streak, making it 12-6 at the time.

and 5 RBIs as the Indians rolled past Charlottesville 18-0 on April 12. Taylor Dickerson was 2 for 4 with 2 RBIs, Katlyn Mayo was 2 for 4, Teri Jackson was 3 for 3 and Mason Basdikis was 3 for 5 with 2 RBis in the win. The Indians racked up 18 hits against the Black Knights. Peloke also went 3 for 4 with 2 RBIs in Powhatan’s 11-0 win over Western Albemarle on April 10. Mayo was 3 for 3 with 2 RBIs. Peloke and Basdikis combined for a shutout and no-hitter.

GIRLS TENNIS

On April 12, Powhatan’s boys tennis team hosted Charlottesville and won 7-2. Austin Washburn and Connor Lindhjem each won their singles matches 8-6, while Ben Wojcicki won 9-7. Ryan Steinruck and Michael Washburn each won 8-1. Wojcicki and Steinruck won in doubles 8-5 and Lindhjem and Michael Washburn won their doubles match as well. On April 9, Powhatan’s boys tennis team defeated Fluvanna 9-0, then fell 9-0 to Western Albemarle on April 10.

TRACK

BOYS TENNIS

Powhatan’s outdoor track team got its first taste of action on April 11 at Fluvanna in a meet against Fluvanna, Orange and Louisa. Lindsey Fanz won 400 meter dash with a 1:01.38. She also won the 1600 meters with a 5:29.26. Alexis Atkinson won the 800 meters with a 2:51.47. Gabby Dintino won the 300 meter hurdles with a 55.65. Norman Watson won the 200 meters with a 24.75. He also won the long jump with a leap of 20-feet, 8 ¼ inches. John Cavedo won the 1600 meters with a 5:20.73. Blake McCoy won the discus with a 120-foot, one-inch throw.

Patrick Henry scored three of the next four goals to make it 15-7, with a Somerville goal in there for the Indians, before Powhatan put serious pressure on the Patriots as the game wound down. Chris Medina started the run with 6:20 remaining in the game to make it 15-8. Somerville scored soon after and Ethan Niles scored just 10 seconds after Somerville to make it a very quick three-goal swing. Eight seconds after the Niles goal, Palmore scored to make it 15-11. Palmore’s sixth came with 1:05 left in the game to make it 15-12. That was as close as the Indians would get, however, as Patrick Henry scored one final goal and time ran out with the final at 16-12. On April 10, the Indians defeated Fluvanna 19-7 for the team’s first win of the season.

“It was an important win for us,” Niles said. “It was a good game against Fluvanna. We came out on the good side of things.” Ethan Niles and Somerville led the Indians with four goals each against the Flucos, while Palmore, Williams and Chase Mahaney each scored three goals. Jacob Taylor and Medina rounded out the scoring with one goal apiece. On April 13, Powhatan fell to Charlottesville 148. Niles said he’d like to see more consistency of effort on the field from his squad. “I think we have ebbs and flows,” he said. “A young team will go through that. A lot of times, we’re on a high and we’re flying around like we were later (against Patrick Henry.) That’s how you need to play this game all the time.”

Powhatan’s girls tennis team grabbed a win on April 12 against Charlottesville in an 8-1 final. Kayli Shenk won her singles match 8-0, Emmy Melchert won her match 8-1 and Ali Anderson won 8-2. McKenna Adams won 8-1 and Kat Kim won 8-0. Shenk and Adams won their doubles match 8-0, Melchert and Anderson won 8-2 and Kim and Haley Balzer won 8-3. On April 13, the Indians fell to Hanover 9-0. On April 10, the Indians fell to Western Albemarle 8-1. On April 9, Powhatan defeated Fluvanna in a 6-3 final. The match took over four hours to play.
