School board votes to outsource food services By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board unanimously voted last week to award a contract to outsource school food service operations, which has been subsidized by the general operations budget for many years because it wasn’t self-supporting. The school board voted at its meeting on Tuesday, April 17 to award the contract to Sodexo Operations, LLC to serve as the food service management company for the 2018-2019 school year. The contract begins on July 1, 2018, with the option to renew annually for the next four years. James Kunka, who represents District 2, attended the meeting electronically and was part of the unanimous vote. While the request for proposal for a food service management company

went out in December 2017, the school board and staff have actually been discussing the possibility for much longer, said Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations. Johns gave a presentation on the proposal during the board’s workshop, and then the members voted on the issue in the meeting that followed. Johns pointed out that a similar presentation was given to food service staff on April 11. Sodexho was one of four bidders to respond to a request for proposal and then follow through with a bid. An evaluation committee narrowed the proposals down to the top two choices and eventually recommended choosing Sodexo. Due to the strict guidelines on the food programs, this entire process had adherence to state and federal regulations, and the contract was reviewed by both the county attorney and the

Department of Education, Johns said. The lengthy process was the main reason the issue was tabled last year as the division didn’t want employees to have uncertainty about their jobs. Before voting for the outsourcing, a few board members made a point of reiterating that their decision to do so was not a reflection on the food service employees, who perform their jobs admirably. During the workshop’s public comment period, Mary Smith, a food service employee who has addressed the board before on behalf of her coworkers, asked the board not to outsource the department. She spoke not only of the uncertainty of employees’ futures but also of their freedom and flexibility to help students when needed. She also questioned the schedules an outside company would set and whether it would match with what see FOOD SERVICES, pg. 6

Judge rules on former sheriff’s civil suit against county By Laura McFarland News Editor

see EARTH DAY, pg. 3

POWHATAN – A Powhatan County Circuit Court judge last week issued an opinion in a civil suit brought against the county that ruled largely in its favor, including agreeing that it did not have to release documents relating to an internal investigation regarding language being removed from the Subdivision Code. Judge Paul Cella issued a written opinion on Thursday, April 19 regarding the civil suit brought by former sheriff Nelson Batterson against the county. Cella had heard arguments from Batterson’s attorney, Patrick McSweeney, and county attorney Tom Lacheney in a hearing held on Monday, April 16 and promised to issue the opinion that week. The hearing was held after McSweeney filed a petition of mandamus and injunction a week earlier citing eight allegations against the county. The civil suit mostly dealt with Freedom of Information

Act (FOIA) requests McSweeney made to the county in January and February on Batterson’s behalf related to changes to the road system with certain projects in Powhatan. He also requested records related to the adoption and amendment of the Subdivision Ordinance during the previous two years. Cella’s five-page written opinion addressed each of the eight counts in the petition, although one had already been agreed upon during the hearing. One of the allegations in the petition said that the board of supervisors has repeatedly voted to go into closed session without making a motion that specifies what they will discuss, which is not in accordance with state code. Both in his written agreement and during the hearing, Lacheney conceded this point and said the supervisors had already instituted a change in how they go into closed meeting and intended to continue that practice. With that assurance in mind, Cella dis-

missed without prejudice an injunction regarding the closed meetings.

Investigation report By the end of the hearing, it was clear the biggest question was whether Cella would decide documents generated during the internal investigation surrounding the Subdivision Code deletion could be withheld because of attorney-client privilege and/or protection of personnel documents or whether they should be released. Less than a minute into his opening statement at the hearing, Lacheney told the judge the reason they were all there was because “Mr. McSweeney and his client are looking for this investigation report.” However, they had to make their request in a broad manner because the only way Batterson could know about the report in the first place is “if he was privy to closed session information,” Lacheney said. Lacheney entered into evidence a

At an early age, Arthur was baptized and became a member of Little Zion Baptist Church in Powhatan, where he maintained his support until he became ill. He attended the Powhatan Public Schools; elementary and middle, and graduated from Pocahontas High School. He decided not to attend college, and served as a military police in the United States Army.

Arthur was steadfast in his faith, and loved the Lord! He was a teacher and mentor, and talked about the greatness of God to everyone, and in every conversation. He was a mentor and friend to many youth, and would collect and laminate copies of their achievements, awards, and graduations. He is a Past Master of Eureka Lodge #52, Montclair, New Jersey. He was a great historian who inspired others to seek the full glory of God, through his stories full of wisdom and a message in which you had to give deep thought. Arthur suffered a fall on Super Bowl Sunday in February of 2015, and for the last few years, he had major health challenges. He departed this life on Saturday, April 14, 2018, surrounded by his doting family. He leaves to cherish fond memories: his loving and devoted wife, Bessie, of Montclair; brother, Ervin S. Royall (Rita) of Jettersville; daughters, Felice A. Harrison-Crawford (Charles), of Montclair, Betty A. Moore of Margaretville, New York; grandson, Dwight J.

GLADYS PHILLIPS Gladys E. Phillips, 94, was reunited with the love of her life, James D. Phillips, on Sunday, April 15, 2018, following an extended battle with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Gladys was born on June 3, 1923, to the late Earl H. Mawyer Sr. and Edmonia M. Mawyer, in Nelson County. She was preceded in death by her husband, James D. Phillips; parents, Earl H. and Edmonia Mawyer; and brothers, Earl H.

Donald (Becky) Mawyer and Raymond (Peggy) Mawyer; sister-in-law, Janie Mawyer; sister, Charlotte Bradley; sons, Mike (Paula) Phillips of Hudson, Ohio and Tim (Kathy) Phillips of Powhatan; in addition to grandchildren, James, Daniel, Michelle and Michael Phillips; along with a host of in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends. After marrying Jim, they settled and raised their family in Charlottesville. After transferring to Fredericksburg and retirement, they settled in Powhatan. Our mother used to say she walked in her husband's shadow, but do not be PHILLIPS fooled. Mom was the rock of the family and all things to all people, daughter, sister, mother, friend, aunt, babysitter and grandmother. In the end, mother was the role she cherished the most, but she excelled as a loving grandmother also. We are comforted to know that she is with our father once again, for over 50 years it was Sonny Boy and Gladys, Jim and Jody, Mom and Pop and they were inseparable. Special thanks go out to caregivers, Diane and Brad Easter. The family received friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, April 20 at Teague Funeral Home. A celebration of her life was held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 21 at Teague Funeral Home in Charlottesville. Burial followed at Monticello Memory Gardens in Charlottesville. Gladys, Mom, loved gardening and flowers, so if you would like to honor her, plant a flower. When it grows and blooms, think of her and smile.

IRMA ROSS Irma Dolores Shortt Minton Ross, 87, of Mechanicsville, passed away on Sunday, April 15, 2018, following a brief illness. She was born to Garland E. and Irma A. Shortt on August 20, 1930, and grew up in the Highland Park and Bellevue neighborhoods. She graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School and Richmond Professional Institute (VCU). She was

predeceased by her husbands, Mills Daniel Minton Jr. and G. Edward Ross. Survivors include her sons, Doug Minton of Powhatan, Dennis Minton (Robin) of Mechanicsville, Danny Minton of Mechanicsville and R. David Ross of Richmond; grandchildren, Chris Minton (Missy), Marianne Bowes (Michael), Chad Minton (Christina) of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Scott Minton, Kevin Marshall, Danielle Wheeler (Frank), Sean Minton, Anna Minton, Jenna Minton and Lena Minton; great-grandchildren, Olivia Minton, Sydney Minton, Avery Minton, Cameron Wheeler, Alice Wheeler, Dylan Flowers and Lorelai Minton; special family friend, Joe Brooks; as well as many close friends who were very special to her. After receiving her degree in fashion merchandising, Dolores began her career at Hofheimer's. Always a people person, she loved the world of retail. Even when widowed as a young ROSS mother, she managed to raise her sons and spread joy in whatever setting she found herself. After her marriage to Ed Ross, they worked together as a team to raise Doug, Dennis, Danny and David and supported them in all they did. Dolores was never one to sit still and was active throughout her community. Dolores and Ed purchased Hammond Organ and Piano Company in 1979 and operated it for more than two decades, and had the pleasure of working alongside their son, Danny. When they retired, Dolores expanded her love of antique collecting into antique-dealing, having "shops," named At-Last in Lakeside and the Antique Village in Mechanicsville. She also worked at Antique Village until the age of 85 and considered the Antique Village family as her own. No one ever received more out of or gave more to life than Dolores, and no one ever will. Remains rested at the Mechanicsville Chapel of Bennett Funeral Home, 8014 Lee-Davis Rd., where services were held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18. Interment followed in Forest Lawn Cemetery.

RSAAC seeks to educate in fight against opioids Contributed Report Opioids- aware of them, but a little unsure about the whole issue? The Rural Substance Abuse Awareness Coalition (RSAAC) serving Goochland and Powhatan counties would like to provide some information to begin the education process. RSAAC was formed in 2012 to energize Goochland and Powhatan counties to combat substance abuse. Its mission is to inspire, equip, and educate the people of Goochland and Powhatan on the issues of substance abuse of prevention initiatives, along with treatment providers or support groups. The National Institute on Drug Abuse provides a laymen’s description of opioids as a class of drugs that include legally prescribed pain relievers such as oxy-

codone (OxyContin ®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), codeine, morphine, and the illegal drugs heroin, synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and many others. Most opioids are derived from compounds from the opium poppy. These drugs have provided millions of people with relief from both acute and chronic pain and are generally safe when taken for a short period of time and as prescribed by a doctor. However, when misused, opioid pain relievers can lead to addiction, overdose incidents, and death. The brain changes with over use of addictive substances. What frequently happens is the original goal of eliminating pain, or getting a euphoric “high” in the case of recreational use, is replaced with a need to continue taking the drug

just to feel normal. The desire goes beyond what selfdiscipline can handle, because the brain is no longer functioning as it did before. Frequently, when the pain pills become unavailable, the user switches to the less expensive and street available option- heroin and/or fentanyl or other synthetic compounds, which are driving the epidemic of overdoses and deaths. The risk of developing an addiction varies from person to person and involves many different factors such as genetics, mental and physical health, environment, and age. There is much that is being done to fight the opioid abuse problem. The Virginia Board of Medicine along with the Commonwealth’s legislative bodies have laid out specific regulations and recommendations on the prescribing of opioids in both chronic and acute pain remedies. This includes proper evaluation

and treatment of pain issues, as well as penalties for abuse of such regulations. Significantly, there is a prescription monitoring program (PMP) that provides prescribers and pharmacies with a database of all opioid prescriptions that must be consulted prior to writing or filling a prescription for opioids. There are 19 states that have similar databases that can be accessed, including Virginia’s four surrounding states, to prevent users from “shopping doctors or pharmacies” to get their prescriptions filled beyond their original purpose across state lines. RSAAC has participated in drug take back programs to eliminate unused prescriptions from falling into the wrong hands (think your teenagers, grandkids or neighbors), screening and promoting anti-drug videos such as “Chasing the Dragon: The Life of an Opiate Addict”; promoting

programs such as “Heroes Not Heroin,” and working with public schools and student programs such as “Kick Butts.” RSAAC has also supported “Revive” training sessions with naloxone, which treats opioid overdoses to potentially save a life. Naloxone can be purchased at area pharmacies under a standing order by the Virginia health commissioner. Emergency services departments in both counties are trained to administer naloxone. In 2017, Goochland Fire-Rescue and Emergency Services responded to 32 overdoses of all types, and naloxone was administered 17 times. In less than the first two months of 2018, they had administered naloxone four times already. In 2017, Powhatan Emergency Rescue Services responded to 42 overdoses of all types and four deaths from opioid overdoses. There is a continuum of

treatment for substance abuse. Regarding opioid related concerns, first consult your doctor who prescribed your medication, or if you don’t have a primary care physician, visit the Goochland Powhatan Community Service Board, or if you have insurance, contact your insurance company. There are outpatient treatment options for regular consultation with professionals, inpatient treatment in a hospital for intensive care, residential treatment in highly structured care in a nonhospital setting, and recovery-housing providing supervised treatment programs.

10th anniversary Powhatan Earth Day Celebration

Powhatan’s 10th anniversary Earth Day Celebration drew a few hundred people out for a busy afternoon on the Courthouse Green. Some of the activities included a tree planting at Powhatan Animal Control earlier, Jonathan the Juggler, free paper shredding, a plant sale, wildlife, and 20 plus vendors.

outdoors in Powhatan’s historic Village area. The Powhatan AntiLitter Council has grown the Earth Day celebration into a highly anticipated rite of spring, said Betty McCracken, conservation specialist with Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District (MSWCD). “The goal of the Earth Day Coalition is to raise awareness for environmentally friendly practices,” she said. “Innovative presentations and vendors participated in this year’s 10th anniversary celebration. New this year were wildlife rehabbers with owls and Jonathan the Juggler.”

A paper-shredding h ddi truck sponsored by the Powhatan Anti-Litter Council was a popular feature again, shredding 4,500 pounds of paper in a few hours. Powhatan Junior FFA held its annual plant sale. Nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, and educational groups handed out information, offered hands-on children’s activities and tried to get people excited about planting, conserving, reusing, and reducing where they can. AWARE (Alliance of Wild Animal Rehabilitators and Educators) was on hand with a snake and owls. Earlier in the day, a young tree was once again planted in a special ceremony at Powhatan Ani-

C l mall Control. Robin Lyerly of Midlothian attended the event for the first time with her granddaughter, Lydia Cliborne of Powhatan, and enjoyed the afternoon activity. Vendors were giving away saplings and seeds, educating visitors with information on how slowly trash breaks down and encouraging people to be more considerate of the planet, she said. “It’s great knowledge of how litter ruins the earth. We should be more aware of it,” she said. Christina Burkhart of Powhatan and her two daughters, Olivia and Ally, were also first-time visitors drawn by a desire to participate in community events. Burkhart said

Bike tour will have cyclists explore county

Vendors invited to showcase goods at Spring Market Day

Contributed Report Eight years ago, a group of Powhatan bicyclists came up with an idea to organize a ride not only to showcase their county’s beautiful country roads, but more importantly, to raise money for a worthy cause – The Free Clinic of Powhatan. After months of planning, organizing and recruiting volunteers, the Historic Powhatan Bike Tour was created. Connie Moslow, the executive director of the Clinic shared that “the Free Clinic provides medical, dental, mental health and women’s services to hundreds of low income, uninsured Powhatan adults. Many of these patients work, yet still cannot afford medical insurance.” The clinic depends exclusively on donations and fund raising to provide these services and is the only place in Powhatan that these residents can obtain free health services. Maureen Moslow-Benway, the ride co-director stated, “The first year, the Powhatan Bike Tour had just over 100 participants. The tour has grown each year and, even better, the event to date has raised more than $75,000 for the Free Clinic.” This year, the Historic Powhatan Bike Ride will be held on Sunday, April 29. The course, which begins at the historic Powhatan Courthouse Village, was selected with both safety and scenery in mind. Cyclists have their choice of three different ride lengths: 35, 62 or 100-mile rides, all of which traverse bucolic country roads. The ride begins with a breakfast buffet at a popular Powhatan institution, The County Seat Restaurant, located right in the heart of the Courthouse area. One of the most unique aspects about the Powhatan Bike Ride is that the majority of the rest stops are located at historic sites along the course. The riders’ first rest stop is at Mosby’s Tavern, a beautiful farm that was a meeting place for militia at the onset of the Revolutionary War. Ten miles later, riders can get food and drinks on the grounds of Belmead-on-the-James, a former Catholic boarding school for African American boys established shortly after the Civil War. Every 10 to 15 miles along the ride, participants continue to visit a number of other historic farm and plantation homes. The 100-mile “Century” riders venture into Amelia County as well. Jake Berman, the co-director, stated that, “Even though the

All three of Powhatan County Public Schools’ elementary schools put their best foot forward to welcome their future kindergarteners. Kindergarten registration day, which was held on April 19, drew 222 new enrollments. The totals at each school were: Flat Rock Elementary, 84 children; Pocahontas Elementary, 86 children, and Powhatan Elementary, 52 children. Shown are some of the scenes from Powhatan Elementary’s big day. Embracing the theme of “Under the Sea,” the school’s educators invited the future kindergarteners to come and swim in their school. The theme at Pocahontas Elementary’s kindergarten registration day was “You’re Future’s So Bright, You Gotta Wear Shades,” and Flat Rock Elementary had a tropical theme.

FOOD SERVICES Continued from pg. 1

food service employees can manage. She reminded the board of when the division decided to outsource custodial services and said many of the former school employees hired by that company are no longer with it.

Becoming self-sufficient Staff members have been making reports to the school board for more than four years on where the food service operations stood, including the challenges it faces with issues such as increased federal mandates, declining enrollment and low number of students who qualify for free and reduced meals (currently about 18 percent). There are many things outside of the control of food service staff that hinder them in their performance, Johns said. The food service fund has needed general fund support for 15 years or more, Johns said. A major goal of considering the outsourcing was to reduce the roughly $250,000 annual subsidy the school district currently transfers to the food service budget as well as increasing student participation in school

meals for both breakfast and lunch, Johns said. While staff tried to make changes to help the program and increase participation, the district still only has about 30 percent of its students participating when it needs about 50 percent to break even. “The issue really is that it is very hard for a small school division to compete with an international company that has the buying power plus the economies of scale of having a dietician, having marketing people. They spread those costs out over all the contracts they may have in a state. We just can’t do that and still break even,” Johns said. In talking to other schools and researching the bidders, Johns said he found Sodexho had overcome the same challenges Powhatan faces with other schools and turned them into self-supporting operations by the first or second year. Johns said he is confident this can happen in Powhatan schools, too. Price was a big factor, but Sodexho didn’t actually offer the biggest guarantee, Johns said. However, the evaluation committee also factored in the company’s product plan for Powhatan and what it planned to do to achieve the goals of increasing student participation, how it would treat staff, client services, and more. “When we evaluated all of that, Sodexho quickly rose to the top. I talked to over 25 school districts in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, and even Florida, and they by far had the best references,” Johns said.

Taking care of staff In talking about possibly outsourcing, division staff had long told the board they would choose an option that protected current food service employees by guaranteeing they would all be offered employment by the company chosen. It was also written into the request for proposal (RFP). Sodexho’s proposal actually provides a 3 percent raise for food service employees effective with their contract with Sodexo for the upcoming school year and includes eligibility for benefits, Johns said. Some of the other proposals suggested freezing wages for one or more years and even cutting hours. “The fact that they did that, to me, speaks volumes to the fact that they want our employees to stay and work where they are,” he said.

There are 30 food service employees – 28 work in the cafeteria (five managers and 23 workers) and two in the food service office (a director and an administrative assistant), Johns said. The 28 cafeteria staff will be offered employment by Sodexo pending a standard background investigation. Seven of the workers hold dual positions for the school division (3.5 hours for food service and four hours for transportation as either a driver or bus aide), Johns said. These seven employees may accept a position with Sodexo and may continue their transportation position with the school division. “In regards to the two full-time office personnel, federal regulations require that a school division employee manage and submit our meal reimbursements. Consequently, it our intent to employ one of these individuals for that role. Since that role will not be a full-time position, we plan to have that individual fill another vacancy. We also hope to reassign the other individual to another projected vacancy,” Johns said in a separate interview. During the workshop, Sonja Bauer, director of business development for Sodexho, confirmed the employees would be eligible for benefits through the new company the day after their benefits with the school district expire. That includes single, family, single plus one and single with children insurance plans. If the board voted to approve the contract, the company’s human resources department planned to meet with the food service employees the next day. George Higley, district manager, said Sodexho is a global company, but in the Mid Atlantic District, he makes sure every school division has a customized program. Quality of life is a key factor in Sodexho’s individual and collective performance, said John White, vice president for the Mid Atlantic region. He reiterated a point made by Johns that this will be a partnership with the school district.

Board input Rick Cole, District 1, said the board members are concerned about the transition but recognize that staff have worked to make it as smooth as possible. He said he was especially pleased about the pay raise and benefits without gap in service. “Our employees are very, very im-

portant to us. And even though we have not had the profit margin that we wanted to have in the last few years, we believe they are very valuable to us and the relationships they’ve had with students have been very, very important over the years in lots of different ways to lots of different kids,” Cole said. Valarie Ayers, District 3, said what she was looking for assurance on was that the relationship between the employees and students wouldn’t change, so if a child came and couldn’t afford something, the employee wouldn’t be required to turn them away. “I just hope that the humanity of living in Powhatan isn’t going to change – the relationship with our employees and our children,” she said. Kim Hymel, District 5, drew a comparison made earlier by Smith of the division outsourcing janitorial services and being unhappy with the results. Johns pointed out Sodexho has a price guarantee that the loss for the 2018 - 2019 school year will not exceed $10,275, which may be adjusted based upon snow days. If Sodexho doesn’t decrease the subsidy to that amount, the company has to put up the difference, which means they have a vested interested in increasing sales and student participation. Chairman Joe Walters asked about any outstanding paid leave employees might have. Johns said they are only eligible to take that if they retire. He added that they could retire from the school district and then go to work for Sodexho. Walters also raised a concern that would be raised again by Hymel in the meeting that they were hearing a weighty presentation in the workshop and being asked to vote on it in the meeting. She asked if it would be possible to defer. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said that from a contract standpoint it wouldn’t be an issue. However, many of the food service employees were waiting to hear what would happen to their jobs so they could make decisions about their futures and he would rather not keep them waiting several extra weeks. The board decided to go ahead and vote, unanimously choosing to outsource food service operations to Sodexho. However, they did agree that in future they wouldn’t pair these big presentations and vote on them in the same night. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Real-life Cinderella is sweeter than the fairy tales By Laura McFarland News Editor

I just met Cinderella, and she didn’t need Prince Charming to have a fabulous time at the ball; she just needed some good friends. I first learned about Powhatan High School sophomore Candace Farmer’s magical night at prom through a friend of a friend. There wasn’t much detail other than Candace, who has Down syndrome, received a very special invitation to accompany her friend Josie Veserat and her boyfriend Parker Massengill to the prom on April 14. Josie, a PHS senior, is graduating in a few weeks and didn’t want to leave without making sure her friend got to experience all the joys of going to prom. After getting in touch with Candace’s mom Linda, she told me some of the story. I then met Candace at her home to learn about her and hear about it all from her perspective. We sat in the dining room with Linda filling in some of the gaps (much to Candace’s teenage annoyance) and her dad David lovingly teasing her from his spot leaning against the doorway (Candace had to make a few mock fists at him when he teased too hard). What I found wasn’t a fairytale with talking mice and a fairy godmother who transformed Cinderella into a beautiful princess in an instant; it was something better. This was a tale of friends taking the time to plan an invitation, to go dress shopping, and to spend hours getting ready together all before the actual big event. Let’s fast forward a bit. It turns that, on Valentine’s Day, Josie and Parker, a PHS graduate, took Candace out to dinner. When her fried ice cream dessert came out, along the edges of the bowl were hearts and “PROM?” written in chocolate. (As a side note, this story had my heart from the beginning, but does life get much better than a special invitation written in chocolate?) At this point in the retelling, Linda pulls out her phone and shows a video taken after Candace got home from that dinner, clearly over the moon with her invitation to prom and so happy she was in

tears. In the days and weeks leading up to the event, Linda said her daughter would ask, “How many days until prom?” Josie took Candace dress shopping in Richmond. Candace said she tried on multiple dresses before deciding on one

Dear Editor, The April 18 article about my petition to make the county comply with the Freedom of Information Act finally alerts the citizens to the problem. The newspaper has been getting information about this for months. The article still doesn’t give a clear picture about how the county has gutted its access management standards for the last year or so. Years ago, the board of supervisors adopted those standards to make sure this county did not end up looking like Chesterfield. But the turn lane part of the standards were deleted and then the entrance spacing standards were just ignored. The county administrator tells us that the turn lane standards were deleted because the staff made an

that was white with gold decorations at the top. Her dad said she liked what he called “bling,” while her mom said it was the fact that it looks great when she twirls. Either way, when David brought it out later to show me and Candace looked over at it where it draped on the hanger, joy was still written all over her face. The days leading up to prom were busy. Josie took Candace to have her nails done on the Thursday before prom and the next day took her to get a spray tan. On Saturday, she picked Candace up at noon and the hours that followed were filled with makeup, hair, and all the other preparation and shenanigans that go into getting ready for a formal event. Parker, Josie and Candace rode in a limo with a group of other PHS students to prom. Candace was thrilled with the revelation they would be taking a limo. In her words, she was “freaking out.” Her parents and grandmother were there to take a few pictures and see her off, which led to a few tears and some dam-

innocent mistake, but the staff knew about the deletion and never advised the board. The turn lane standards have been put back in, but two large projects have been approved in the meantime without consideration of those standards. Refusing to follow the entrance spacing standards is a big problem. They were never deleted from the ordinance. The county has decided not to enforce them. The citizens should compare the entrance to Bojangles and the gas station on Route 60 near Stavemill Road with the entrance to the new CVS on Route 60 at Dorset Road. The first one followed the spacing requirements. The second one did not. The county also approved the entrance for the Stoneridge project without following the spacing requirements. The county administrator should explain why the county has reversed its policy of not developing like Chesterfield. The citizens deserve an answer.

age control on the makeup. Candace wore a wrist corsage that Parker bought for her and which incorporated her favorite color, purple. The group took photos at Midlothian Mines Park and had dinner before heading

to prom, where Candace arrived to see a beautifully decorated ballroom with a New York City theme. But, to be honest, when it comes to describing her time there, it all boils down to one word: dancing. Candace, who is a PHS junior varsity cheerleader, loves music and dancing. She cheers for the football and basketball teams. When music comes on, Candace said she hears the beat and the singer and “it’s my jam.” Candace wore a huge smile as she described how on prom night she “danced the night away.” “I was happy that night because I had the best day ever at prom. I love my life in real life,” Candace said. Every time Candace would see one of her friends she would get so excited, and she had fun whether she was dancing or watching other people dance, Josie said. “Her dancing — it was the happiest I have ever seen her. She loved people coming up to her and talking to her. She felt like a princess,” Josie said. “She did

keyed up.” Her daughter still hasn’t really come down from that high, and she is truly grateful for that. Of note is the fact that several individuals and businesses either donated or gave deep discounts to help make prom night special for Candace, including an anonymous donated $100 to help pay for tickets, flowers and dinners. “Special needs kids don’t get to do a lot of things. For someone to take the time to take them is just unreal,” Linda said. “It even made me cry and I never cry. To think of … all the people who pitched in to make sure she had the night of a lifetime. And she did.” As we neared the end of the interview, I decided to wrap things up with a question I had been wondering about since mother and daughter described dress shopping. Looking at Candace, I said, “Did the dress twirl as well as you hoped it would?” She giggled, nodded her head and simply said, “Yes.”

JUDGE Continued from pg. 1

string of emails between the county and McSweeney that he said demonstrated staff had done everything they could to meet the FOIA request and be open and transparent. The only documents withheld when fulfilling the large and broad FOIA requests were ones generated by Kelley Kemp, who works for Lacheney and conducted the investigation. Lacheney said those documents were withheld because of attorney-client privilege. “We have not withheld anything, hid anything, or tried to be underhanded. … There is an attempt here to make a political issue out of something that is not even a valid political issue,” Lacheney said. McSweeney denied Batterson was privy to closed meeting information. He said Batterson had questions about a request for information to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) he discussed with supervisor David Williams, who represents District 1, but then Batterson made his own inferences about what might have happened with the Subdivision Code and wanted to pursue it. McSweeney also argued he wasn’t convinced the documents in the investigation report were exempt from FOIA by either the standards of personnel records or attorney-client privilege. He repeatedly asked for an in-camera review of the documents, which would have Cella looking at them privately to determine if they may be made public. In his opinion, Cella focused on the question of whether the investigation report documents were protected by attorney-client privilege without delving into the issue of personnel records. He ruled the county had not violated FOIA by withholding the documents. He also addressed the fact that since the existence of the report is public knowledge, it is understandable that Batterson and other members of the public are curious about its contents. “I am required to make decisions according to what the law is, however, and in my opinion, while Batterson’s position is understandable, the County has met its burden of establishing that the

report is protected by the attorney-client privilege,” Cella wrote.

Cost and timing A good portion of the hearing was spent debating both the time it took to fulfill McSweeney’s FOIA requests and the amount the county charged to do so, with both sides strenuously arguing their sides. McSweeney and Lacheney each cited email exchanges and debated when the county should have begun issuing documents as part of the FOIA request and how much it ultimately should have charged for doing so. After his initial, very broad FOIA request received a quote of $896 to fulfill it, McSweeney had narrowed it and was given a cost estimate of $200. The county also waived prepayment. The cost continued to be a bone of contention in the back and forth between McSweeney and the county, with a final estimate at $1,356 to recoup some of the staff time taken to generate it. McSweeney consistently argued that the county couldn’t charge him to generate documents already produced in a previous action like the investigation and that the costs quoted were unreasonable. Lacheney brought two large stacks of documents to the courtroom to show how much had to be researched and personally reviewed by staff because of how broad McSweeney’s request was. He maintained many of them were never part of the investigation because it was much more narrow than the broad FOIA request. He also produced records of staff time spent to produce and review the documents. Cella wrote that since Batterson was given an estimate of $200, the county should be held to that, and he capped the county’s fee at $200. The judge did not address the request in the petition to have the county pay Batterson’s costs and attorneys fees. McSweeney and Lacheney also strongly argued the points on the timeline of the production of documents from McSweeney’s FOIA request and whether the county was in violation of FOIA in how long it took to produce them.

Powhatan h Chamber Ch b off Commerce’s C annuall Village ill Vibe ib concert series returned with the first concert of the 2018 season on April 13 featuring The Flashback Band. Donations were taken for Wear a Smile, Share a Smile. Upcoming concerts are on May 11, June 15, Sept. 14, and Oct. 26.

McSweeney argued that the county requested extensions where it didn’t have the authority to do so and that the county should have begun producing them much sooner. When Cella asked him if the issue of the missed deadlines was moot since the documents had already been produced, McSweeney said it was still an issue because he felt both the delays and the “unreasonable” cost estimates were means the county used to try to discourage Batterson from moving forward. Lacheney argued that while the first request came in on Jan. 8, the timeline didn’t officially start until Feb. 15 because McSweeney had been arguing the costs and never expressly gave permission to move ahead. Once that permission was given, they did move ahead, although because of the size of the request,

they did split it in two and ask for an extension to produce the second part. Lacheney also cited numerous times in the email chain when McSweeney’s request was not met and the attorney threatened to go to court. In his opinion, Cella wrote that given the negotiations between McSweeney and Lacheney regarding costs and the scope of the request, “the time when the County’s response deadline started to run is debatable.” Since unequivocal permission to proceed was not given until Feb. 15, Cella did not hold the county in violation. He also noted that the dispute on the timing is moot because the documents were produced. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

BSH offense, Hasty’s no-hitter lead Knights By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

lessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Noa Hasty was locked in on the mound against Blue Ridge Christian on April 20. “Today was the best command he’s had that I’ve seen him have,” coach James Poore said of Hasty’s performance. “He was pitching, he wasn’t throwing. He was

pitching.” Hasty’s fastball had a zip on it and his curveball was an effective two-strike pitch, which led to 12 strikeouts and a nohitter in the Knights 11-1 win over the Barons. It was Hasty’s first-ever no-hitter. “I felt good out there,” Hasty said. “It felt good having a good defense behind me. I have a good catcher who blocks the ball back there and does a good job of

communicating.” The Knights were up 2-1 when the offensive fireworks began and made Hasty’s job even more straightforward. In the bottom of the fourth, Reilly Dickerson started the scoring on a passed ball to make it 3-1. Two pitches later, Chris Gupton scored on another passed ball to make it 4-1. Robbie Kurtz, who had advanced

from first to third on the passed balls that Dickerson and Gupton had scored on, made his way home to score after Hasty struck out at the plate and the Barons catcher overthrew second base in attempt to catch Tyler Hall stealing. Nick Dawson worked a walk before Kemper Roudabush doubled Hall home to make it 6-1. see KNIGHTS, pg. 3B

Powhatan’s boys soccer team is 3-3 this season and the games for the team this season have fallen into two categories: a big win or a close loss. The Indians hosted Fluvanna on April 19 and that game fell into the first category as Scotty Harrelson led the team with two goals in a 5-1 win over the Flucos. “I’m excited for the guys,” Indians head coach Tim Cristian said. “Anytime this group wins, after some of the tough losses we’ve already had, I’m super excited for them. You can hear their enthusiasm over here for their teammates.” Powhatan’s Aiden Willard started the

scoring in the 34th minute of play with a goal in the lower corner of the net to make it a 1-0 lead. In the second half, Patrick Peach got on the scoreboard with a laser off his foot into the goal from about 30 yards out in the 41st minute. Harrelson then scored both of his goals within about seven minutes of each other. The first, in the 46th minute, was shot by Harrelson and deflected off a Fluvanna defender and into the net. His second was in the 53rd minute after a header from Ethan Taylor set up the goal. see INDIANS, pg. 4B

Johnson leads Knights past Kenston Forest By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

nce Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s soccer team gets rolling on offense, it is very difficult to stop. Kenston Forest found that fact out on April 19. Colby Johnson scored three goals to lead the Knights in a 7-1 win over the Kavaliers at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. “I thought we did some things well against Kenston,” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot head coach Grayson Lovern wrote in an email. “Finding the back of the net as often as we did is evidence of that.” The Knights were up 2-1 after Johnson’s first two goals when the offense really caught fire. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot earned a corner kick, but the chance from the Knights went out of bounds and the Kenston Forest goalie restarted the game with a goal kick. But, the kick went out of bounds and

the Knights pounced with the opportunity as Michael Timmons scored to make it 3-1. Immediately after the Timmons goal, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot made it 4-1 just before halftime with a goal from Nick Cheseldine off a header. In the 56th minute, Johnson netted his third goal of the game to make it 5-1. Soon thereafter, Johnson sent another shot on net, which was saved by the Kavaliers’ keeper, but the deflection went right to Carlos Garcia of the Knights, who found a wide open night in front of him and he converted to make it 6-1. With 15 minutes left in the game, James sent a laser shot off his foot into the top of the net to make it 7-1. Five different Knights scored against the Kavaliers, which has been emblematic of the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot offense this season. “We have had 10 out of 15 players score a goal for us so far this season,” Lovern wrote. “I am pleased that we have a number of kids seizing opportunities in front of them, and our goal distribution

has been a bright spot. We don’t have one player dominating the score sheet live we’ve had the past three years. Colby Johnson, Carlos Garcia and Diego Flores are all scoring at a consistent rate and others like James Hawkins, Katie Schiefer and Michael Timmons are finding ways to contribute with goals and assists. “I was hopeful it would shake out this way at the beginning of the year and it has been a strength,” Lovern wrote. Lovern wrote that it is important for his team to have multiple players to have the ability to find the back of the net. “It doesn’t allow the opposing team to mark any one player out of a game,” he wrote. “It’s important that we have multiple sources from which goals can come so that we are more difficult to defend against.” The win over Kenston Forest was after a week where the Knights played three games: Southampton Academy on April 11, Isle of Wight on April 12 and Brunswick Academy on April 13. The combination of coming off of spring break along with the weather from

earlier in the season meant it was an especially brutal week for the Knights. “With practice being canceled because of snow that Monday, we only had one day to get everyone back and on the same page before playing back-to-backto-back,” Lovern wrote. “We are still trying to get everyone back up to speed and in condition. Coming back from spring break is always a challenge, but this year seemed to be more so of one because of our schedule and the weather.” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot hosted Fuqua on April 23 and then will host Southampton Academy on April 27. Lovern wrote that he’d like to see his team improve their performance right out of the gate in their games. “We have started the last few games slowly and really put ourselves behind the 8-ball,” he wrote. “we have responded during those times, but I’d like us to start strong and finish strong so we don’t put as much pressure on ourselves as we have been. If we can start to play more consistently, I think we’ve got a chance to make some noise.”

Roundup: Indians’ hot bats show in 7-3 win over Flucos By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s baseball team had two tough Jefferson District opponents on the slate in its two games last week. The Indians came out ahead in both. On April 19, Powhatan was led by Cody Willis, Matthew Church and Brandon Eike in a 7-3 win over Fluvanna. “We had a good week,” Indians head coach Gregg Conner said. “We played very well both nights. We’re scrappy. We just keep battling and battling. Different people come through at different times.” Church got the Indians on the board in the bottom of the second, driving in Willis to make it 1-0. Later, Willis went deep as he hit a two-run home

run, which made it 4-1 Powhatan at the time. “I was sitting fastball and away,” Willis said. “But, he missed in and I happened to put it over the right field fence.” Church was 2 for 3, Willis was 2 for 4 and Eike was 2 for 3. The Indians had nine hits total and those three accounted for six of them. They also accounted for 4 RBIs combined. On April 17, the Indians defeated Louisa 3-2, scoring all three of their runs in the top of the third inning. Jacob Beil was 1 for 3 with 2 RBIs. The Indians improved to 7-3 on the season after the two wins and Willis said he feels the team is hitting its stride. “For all of us, it’s a big boost,” he said of the two district wins. “Especially

for us seniors, I think it’s really hype for us. It’s getting us excited for the rest of the season. I think it’s going to be a really good rest of the season for us.” Conner said he sees a team that is playing with a lot of confidence. “You can just see it,” he said. “That’s huge for us.” The Indians hosted Orange on April 23, travelled to Monticello on April 24 and will host Albemarle on April 26.

Busch sets track record in Toyota Owners 400 win By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

t didn’t seem likely early on that Kyle Busch would be able to win his third consecutive race in the Monster Energy Cup Series on April 21. Busch started deep in the field – in 32nd place – and the Fords of StewartHaas Racing and Team Penske dominated the first two-thirds of the race at Richmond Raceway. But, Busch kept the leaders within reach throughout the race and took advantage of late caution flags, solid pit stops and fast restarts to win the Toyota Owners 400. “You just have to work,” Busch said in Victory Lane. “The pit crew tonight won this race for us. They got us off first those last two times when we came down to get tires.” It was Busch’s fifth Monster Energy Cup Series win at Richmond Raceway, but his first since winning the Capital City 400 in April 2012. The win was also the deepest in the field a racewinner had ever come from to win the race in Richmond Raceway history. Busch’s crew chief Adam Stevens took the

blame for his driver’s poor qualifying effort. “We started in the back because I screwed up qualifying,” he said. “It was a crew chief error. I told him to run two laps. He took that at face value. By the time I realized that our second lap wasn’t good enough, he had already crossed the line, shut it off. There wasn’t enough time to get it fired back up and try again. You wouldn’t want to put another heat cycle on them anyway.” It was Busch’s thirdworst qualifying position in his career racing at Richmond in NASCAR’s top series. In 2007, Busch qualified 34th and in 2010 he qualified 32nd. But, Busch managed to turn each of those poor qualifying efforts into very good finishes-- second in both 2007 and 2010 and then the win on April 21. The previous track record of the deepest in the field that a winner had come from was held by Clint Bowyer, who started 31st in May 2008. Chase Elliott finished second, Chesterfield native Denny Hamlin finished third, Joey Logano was fourth and Kevin Harvick finished fifth. “We got close there,” Hamlin said. “We got better as the race went on. We

weren’t very strong [early on], but we made some adjustments that got us rolling toward the front, especially on the long run.” Jimmie Johnson rallied from being a lap down early in the race to finish sixth, Kyle Larson was seventh, Brad Keselowski was eighth, Bowyer was ninth and Daniel Suarez rounded out the Top 10. The first 350 laps of the race were caution free before Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Ryan Blaney and Cole Whitt made contact and spun coming out of Turn 4. Martin Truex Jr., who sat on the pole for the race and is the defending NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series champion, won that race off pit road, followed by Harvick, Busch, Bowyer and Logano. On the restart, Truex and Busch got out front before the cautions started coming more and more quickly. Ryan Newman hit the wall on Lap 367, with Jamie McMurray and Larson sustaining damage as well. Busch won that race off pit road, the first he had led up to that point in the race. He wouldn’t give it up, either. On Lap 376, Busch got away on the restart, with Truex, Hamlin and Keselowski following behind.

went back to work on the mound. He struck out two of the three batters he faced, with the third grounding out to shortstop and the game was ended due to the 10-run slaughter rule. Hasty said that the win against the Barons was a good one for the Knights. “It pumps us up for next week,” he said. The win was a bounceback win for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot as the Knights held a lead on April 19 against Brunswick Academy, but fell 15-10 on the road. “(The Brunswick Academy) game was a heartbreaker,” Poore said. “We lost a lead late. That was tough, but it was nice

to come back and got the win. Today, we scored runs when we needed to and made the plays when we needed to.” Poore said that the Knights were “a play or two” away from taking down Brunswick Academy in a significant game. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot returned to the diamond on April 23 at home against Fredericksburg Christian. The Knights will host Kenston Forest on April 26 and then will travel to Blue Ridge Christian on April 27. In the April 16 VISAA Division III baseball poll, the Knights were ranked ninth, while the Kavaliers are ranked eighth.

Defending NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. (78) led the most laps at Richmond with 121, but a poor pit stop late relegated him to finish 14th.

Then, just 13 laps later, David Ragan spun in Turn 4 to bring out yet another caution and bunched the field up once again. Truex had trouble on the left side of his car on the pit stop and fell from second to ninth. Busch maintained the lead, with Hamlin, Harvick, Logano and Elliott behind him. “We certainly put ourselves in position all night long to have that opportunity and that chance to go out there and win the race, thanks to our pit crew,” Busch said. “(The) guys did an amazing job the last two pit stops. Got us out front where we needed to be, got us the lead. Our car was fast enough on the short run to be able

to hold onto it there.” Elliott went three-wide on the Lap 393 restart to jump to second place as Busch got away once again. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. spun out and hit the wall to bring out another caution on Lap 395. On the ensuing greenwhite-checkered restart, Busch was able to get away for the final time, with Elliott close behind. But Elliott could not catch Busch before the checkered flag fell. The first two stages of the race didn’t seem as though it would be one to come down to an overtime finish. Logano dominated early on, passing Truex

on Lap 38 and, while Aric Almirola came charging through the field to second place, Logano won the first stage. Logano, Kurt Busch and Bowyer traded the lead over the second stage, but Logano passed Bowyer on Lap 193 and would hold it for the final seven laps of Stage Two to win the second stage. Martin Truex led the most laps on the night with 121, followed by Kurt Busch with 98, then Logano with 92, Bowyer with 45 and Kyle Busch with 36. The Cup Series will return to Richmond on Sept. 22 for the Federated Auto Parts 400.

Bell holds off Gragson for ToyotaCare 250 win By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

oe Gibbs Racing’s Christopher Bell drives a Toyota. Naturally, so does his teammate, Noah Gragson. Bell had a mirror full of Gragson’s Toyota emblem for the final 78 laps of the race, but Bell was able to hold off Gragson to win the ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond Raceway on April 20. It was Bell’s first win of the 2018 Xfinity Series

season and his second win of his career. He led 120 laps on the night. While Bell and Gragson are both JGR cars, Bell viewed it as driver against driver in the closing laps. “The word ‘teammate’ goes out the window when you’re going for a win,” Bell said. “Track position is what won me the race. (Gragson) probably had a better long-run car than I did. I tried to run my race and run as fast as I could. If he got me, he got me.”

Bell first took the lead from pole-sitter Cole Custer on Lap 44 and held it to Lap 68, when Daniel Hemric took it for the next 11 laps. Hemric won Stage One, but he came out second to Bell on the ensuing pit stops. John Hunter Nemechek, along with a handful of other cars, stayed out after the end of the first stage of the race and Nemechek was able to stay out front for 36 laps. Bell caught Nemechek on Lap 116 and overtook the No. 42 car in the outside lane, with Virginia native Elliott Sadler following close behind. On Lap 132, Sadler caught and passed Bell to take the lead and won Stage Two. Hemric, who looked like the dominant car ear-

ly on, had a tire going down and eventually went flat just prior to the end of Stage Two. He hit the wall and damaged his car, fell behind and wasn’t a factor for the rest of the race. He finished 29th. On the restart to begin Stage Three, Sadler, Gragson and Bell went three-wide through Turn 1 and Turn 2 and Gragson threaded the needle through the middle and took the lead. It was Gragson’s first Xfinity Series start and first time ever racing at Richmond Raceway. “It’s great to finish second in my first race,” he said. “I wanted to win there at the end. I just couldn’t hold myself to roughing him up too badly. We just came up a little short. I’m just thankful for

the opportunity.” Justin Allgaier spun along the frontstretch with 82 laps to go in the race to bring out what would be the final caution of the race. Gragson and Bell battled on the ensuing restart, with Bell getting the best of his teammates soon thereafter. As the top cars navigated through lapped traffic, Gragson didn’t let Bell get away and was right on his teammate’s bumper with 13 laps to go. Gragson said that he found something at the end of the second stage on aged tires and gave it a shot against Bell. But, Gragson’s attempt fell short and his spotter advised him not to give it another try too early. “I wish I could go back

and try it again,” he said. He made several attempts to pass Bell in the waning laps, the best chance of which came in Turn 4 with 11 laps to go, but Bell was able to power past him on the top. Sadler finished third and won the Dash 4 Cash’s $100,000 prize money, but a win at his home track still eluded him. “It’s so good to run here at my home track,” Sadler said. “We just got a little too tight there at the end.” Sadler maintained his Xfinity Series points lead by 29 points over Bell. Matt Tifft finished fourth, Austin Cindric was fifth, Custer was sixth, followed by Ryan Truex, Jeremy Clements, Ryan Reed and Brandon Jones.

INDIANS

for the Flucos. One advantage of the way that the Indians are winning is that more of the team is getting playing time, which is getting the bench much-needed experience that could pay off later in the year. “The way these games have worked out, we’ve gotten everyone some playing time,” Cristian said. “That really helps with team camaraderie, especially when we play Charlottesville when not as many guys can play. It was great to see the leaders step up tonight. Patrick and Scotty were big for us.” The win made it two wins in a row for the Indi-

ans, but that streak was short lived as the other trend of the Indians season came about. Powhatan fell to Midlothian 2-1 on April 20. The game was a much tighter, and drier, affair than the last time the Trojans and Indians met, which was at Huguenot High School in the Conference 20 playoffs. Midlothian led 2-0 before Harrelson brought the Indians within one with 25 minutes remaining in the game. Cristian said that he believes that the team is continuing to get better and better. “We’ll continue to

compete,” he said. “Some of these teams we’ve already seen are very strong. We’re just going to give them a dogfight every chance we get. Who knows, we’ve had some one-goal games. I feel for (Fluvanna) because we got them by a couple. But, frankly, we’ve played some teams where they could have gotten us by a couple. So, instead of a one-goal game, it’s a fouror five-goal game. The final score didn’t reflect how close that game was. It’s been very competitive.” Powhatan traveled to Monticello on April 23 and will host Albemarle on April 26.

Continued from pg. 1

Will Paxton scored in the 71st minute off a corner kick from Tate Russell to complete the Indians’ scoresheet. While the five goals were all that Powhatan got to find the net, the Indians had several close calls to get more goals on the scoreboard. Late in the game, Mason Hubley had a few shots that were close to going in, including one shot that ricocheted off the crossbar. Fluvanna scored with six minutes remaining in the game, but there was no comeback in the cards
