OWHATAN – The message of the evening at last week’s Powhatan County Board of Supervisors meeting was more about why the county hasn’t had any improvements in its situation to get broadband access for unreached residents than on what steps forward have been made.

During the board’s workshop on Monday, June 11, members heard three separate presentations from potential providers regarding the state of broadband in Powhatan, two of whom didn’t have any positive news to share. The third, offered by the company the county is currently working with, hadn’t moved forward as far as it or anyone else would like but had potential good news about rollout moving forward.

CUMBERLAND –A public hearing held by the Cumberland County Planning Commission about the landfill being proposed in Cumberland County near the Powhatan County border was less volatile but no less passionate than a community meeting held on the same matter a week earlier.

At least 150 people filled the cafeteria of Cumberland Elementary School on Thursday, June 14 to both listen and be heard as the planning commission began its consideration of County Waste of Virginia’s proposal to build Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility.

The facility would be built on the far eastern side of Cumberland County, just north of Route 60 at its intersection with State Route 654. It would be developed between State Route 654 and State Route 685.

The planning commission met for the special meeting to consider applications to rezone 15 parcels totaling 1,143 acres in District 2 from Agricultural (A2) and Residential (R-2) to Industrial (M-2) as well as granting a conditional use permit (CUP) for the intended use.

The rezoning and CUP would allow the

design, construction, and operation of the landfill as well as a convenience center and recycling facility. At some point, the site will also have a facility that converts gas from the landfill into electricity and other types of power.

The planning commission didn’t vote to make any recommendations at the June 14 meeting, choosing instead to table the commissioner discussion on the rezoning application, which was heard first, in a 6-1 vote. Because of the lateness of the hour and the number of people still signed up to speak, they then voted unanimously to delay starting the public hearing on the CUP until a follow-up special meeting on Monday, June 18. The meeting, which was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Cumberland Elementary School, occurred after press time for this edition.

Before the planning commission chair Dr. Bill Burger, who represents District 3, opened the public hearing, members heard from three key people: Darren Coffey, planning consultant for the county; Carrie Shepheard, assistant resident engineer with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and William Shewmake, a land use attorney and partner at LeClair Ryan repsee LANDFILL, pg. 6

Dual primary election draws 15 percent local voter turnout

Planning commissioners defer action in first landfill meeting

POWHATAN – About 15 percent of Powhatan County’s register voters turned out last week to cast their ballots in the June 12 statewide dual congressional primary election.

Of the 21,285 registered voters in Powhatan, 2,106 (9.9 percent) voted in the Republican Party primary for the United States Senate for the 7th Congressional District and 1,195 voters (5.6 percent) voted for their choice for the United States House of Representatives for the 7th Congressional District, Karen Alexander, director of elections, said.

Before the election, Alexander said she and the other electoral board and staff were discussing the potential turn-

out, and while she was pretty on the money with her guess of 15 percent, most of the others were expecting a lower turnout. She said her guess was fueled by optimism.

“Fifteen percent is still a very low turnout. I had hoped it was higher but got what was expected considering it was a congressional primary and there hadn’t been much campaigning by candidates in our district,” she said.

In the democratic primary, the local results closely mirrored the statewide results. Locally, Abigail A. Spanberger received 866 votes (72.5 percent of the vote) and Daniel K. Ward had 329 votes (27.5 percent).

Statewide, Spanberger received 72.68 percent of the votes in the race and Ward had 27.32 percent, according to the Virginia Department

No jail time in case of prohibited marriage

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan County judge found last week that a case of a local man who pleaded guilty to entering into a prohibited marriage was a matter of timing and not intentional wrongdoing and fined him rather than giving him jail time.

Robert “Bobby” Adams, 37, of Powhatan had entered a plea of guilty to the misdemeanor charge of entering into a prohibited marriage when he appeared in Powhatan County Circuit Court on May 8. Adams was originally charged with bigamy, which is a felony, but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge as part of a plea deal.

When Adams appeared again before Circuit Court Judge Paul W. Cella on Tuesday, June 12 for sentencing, the judge agreed with Adams’ defense attorney that the defendant had “fouled up” but not intentionally done anything wrong. He imposed a fine of $100 on Adams.

He also took into account that Adams has no criminal history.

Before sentencing, defense attorney Thomas Gordon spoke on Adams’ behalf. He scknowledged again that this was a case of absolute liability where regardless of what Adams thought or his in-

tentions, he was guilty of entering into a prohibited marriage.

However, he focused his argument on the timing and intent of Adams’ actions. Adams married his first wife in 2004 and she filed for divorce in 2010. He filed a response, but neither party ever took the case further and the court dismissed it in 2014 because of lack of activity.

Adams married again in September 2014 but at the time was still married to his first wife. The first wife filed for divorce in December 2014 and the final divorce decree was finalized on March 10, 2015, according to court records.

“It is a time factor rather than an intentional, contemptuous act,” said Gordon, adding that the wrong had already been righted.

Gordon also added that Adams is a father of two, one child with each woman; provides care for his grandmother, and works a full-time job that would be endangered if he had to serve jail time or participate in work release.

Powhatan County Commonwealth’s Attorney Richard “Dickie” Cox did not contest Gordon’s arguments or make any argument for a stronger punishment.

She was predeceased by her husband of 61 years, Harry Thomas Jr., M.D. "Ike." Ike and Betty Fay were the center of a large, loving, funny and caring family. They were a couple who adored each other and enjoyed life while sailing, playTHOMAS ing tennis, dancing, camping and spending time with the family. Betty Fay was raised in Louisville, Ken-

tucky. She met Ike when she was a camper at Camp Allegheny, where he was a lifeguard. During their life journey, Mom supported Dad through physical therapy school, medical school and OB-GYN training. After Dad completed his education, she returned to school earning a B.A. in English and graduating with honors. This set a great example for her family. As an English major, she was fond of writing verse. Each summer, she regaled us with a new poem written about the family "Beach Week." She took great care to mention each child in her poems, making us all feel like her favorite. Betty Fay was kind and caring (unless you were across the tennis net from her). She shared deep friendships. She had three close groups of friends: the "Wild Hairs," the "Fab Five" and the "Lunch Bunch" (you ladies know who you are!). She was the daughter of the late Margaret Glass and Henry Brinckerhoff. She was predeceased by her brother, Hank Brinckerhoff.

Continued from pg. 1

to their groups at this time.

The third presentation was by Clay Stewart, chief operations officer for SCS Broadband, which is the internet service provider the county has partnered with to try to bring broadband to the county. While plenty may have been going on in the background, the only immediate step forward Stewart presented since SCS went live on its first tower last fall is that a second tower is currently awaiting lease approval and could go live on or around July 1 in the area around Walnut Tree Drive.

According to a tower schedule posted on SCS Broadband’s website, www.scsbroadband.com, leases on more towers could be imminent starting in the late summer and into the fall. The website lists estimated completion dates of one new tower a month, starting with one in the Cartersville area on Aug. 1. Others listed are: Judes Ferry Road Tower (Sept. 1); Luck Stone Tower (Oct. 1); Dorset Tower (Nov. 1); Farmington Tower (Dec. 1); Ridge Tower and Bolling Tower (both listed for Jan. 1, 2019), and Palmore Tower (Feb. 1, 2019). More details on these towers, including a map and areas served, can be found on the website.

However, the website points out that the tower schedule can change due to leasing issues or other factors, and Stewart told the board that the company tries to lease two towers at a time per county.

Still, Chairman Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, confirmed with Stewart that the all of the tower leases are supposed to be online by April 2019.

SCS Broadband

Southside Electric Cooperative

Stewart’s presentation started with a comparison of maps showing vertical assets (towers) that SCS Broadband originally considered in its design for the county and the much smaller number that actually passed the pre-engineering phase.

One of the hindrances on leasing space on some of those towers is that big cell phone providers have pre-leased space on them in anticipation of rolling out 5G coverage several years down the line, he said.

One of the new maps shows 10 towers that are part of SCS’s planned rollout as well as two addi-

Southside Electric Cooperative was recently asked if there was anything it could do to help increase broadband coverage in Powhatan County, and Jeff Edwards’ presentation showed that it wasn’t likely.

Edwards acknowledged that there is definitely a need for broadband among many of its users. However, as a co-op that serves 18 counties, Southside has to make decisions that don’t favor one jurisdiction over all the others, he said.

The main things Southside has to look at are the same that face any com-

munications provider looking to expand into an area: density of population and the cost of the project, he said.

“The challenge in providing broadband isn’t technical. We’ve got the ability from a technical perspective. It is a financial challenge,” Edwards said.

A financial feasibility study was done in 2017 and updated in 2018 to see what it would take to provide service to all Southside customers, Edwards said. It found that in order to provide service to its members, Southside would have to construct 6,724 miles of fiber – 5,766 miles of overhead and 958 miles of underground – that would connect 55,614 homes. That project would take eight years.

The total cost to build the fiber would be $216 million, Edwards said. If the co-op had a 30- to 40-percent take rate of people wanting service, its losses in the first seven years would exceed $13 million. After absorbing those loses, the business would finally become profitable in year 14.

You can see the challenge from a financial side, he told the board.

Southside is a memberowned organization, so it would be asking members to take on more than $216 million in debt on a project that has a 30-year depreciation schedule. Edwards added that by that time, the technology would likely be obsolete.

While spearheading a broadband initiative is not within Southside’s current ability, Edwards pointed out the business has 50 towers across the 18 service areas and space on them can be leased to other carriers. Southside has partnered with a company called Milestone Communications, which connects them with service providers to facilitate partnerships.

“We are certainly willing to consider investing in additional towers and working with wireless providers for our existing network. We see that as a community service, leasing the space on those towers,” he said.

He ended by saying Southside is committed to improve quality of life in the areas it serve, but they have to balance what they want to do with the financial impact.

“We can’t risk bankrupting the co-op’s electric side to offer broadband,” Edwards said.

POWHATAN – In addition to starting the 20182019 school year in a brand new building, the upcoming students and teachers of Powhatan Middle School will all be issued a Chromebook as part of an expanded oneto-one initiative by Powhatan County Public Schools.

A similar one-to-one Chromebook initiative was successfully implemented at Powhatan High School in the 2017-2018 school year, with the school district ordering about 1,600 devices. This accounted for all teachers and students as well as spares when some were down for repair.

Building on that success, the district intends to rollout about 1,150 devices for the sixth seventh, and eighth grade students who will start Powhatan Middle School in the fall, Dr. Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendent for instruction, told the Powhatan County School Board in a presentation at their workshop on Tuesday, June 12.

The rollout followed a successful pilot program with 240 Chromebooks at Pocahontas Middle School in the 2017-2018 school year. The pilot program incorporated eight teachers in all three grade levels in three content areas – English, science and history.

Teachers who partici-

pated in the pilot program attended monthly meetings, created Schoology learning models and completed surveys, Omohundro said. The teachers reported increases in collaboration, engagement, motivation and quality of work with their students.

The presentation included a video with teachers participating in the pilot program during the school year. The video showed teachers talking about the positives of the program as well as some of the problems they faced.

The point of the pilot program was to find out what worked or not before the larger rollout, Omohundro said.

The Chromebook program fits well with the district’s redesigned instruction; provides equity for students who don’t have access to this technology at home, and gives students a leg up as far as college and career readiness, Omohundro said.

“With our new vision of empowering today to innovate tomorrow, this fits nicely with that new vision statement,” she said.

Using the Chromebooks, some of the resources available at the middle school will include wider used of the Schoology system, Google Apps Suite, and curriculum ebooks for teachers, Omohundro said.

The middle school will see CHROMEBOOK, pg. 5

tional towers being analyzed for inclusion with the rest.

All of the towers are listed on SCS Broadband’s website with additional information. The information on these towers and service to different parts of the county is updated on the first and 15th of each month, Stewart said. The estimated completion dates may move forward or back “based on our realities.”

Some of the realities that have been a hindrance to moving forward in the last several months include delayed processing by the FCC because of a high volume of applications; poor weather over both the winter and spring that prevented work from being done safely by employees, and in one area, aggressive large birds that pose a threat to SCS workers.

Regarding the process, Stewart said the company tries to lease two towers at a time per county because SCS has to pay fees up front for the towers and monthly fees once the leases are approved. The startup cost per tower is about $4,000 and the cost of equipment and installation labor per tower is $34,000.

Stewart showed a few other topographical maps that show how many homes are in an area and what kind of service they get, based on the natural features around them.

At the end of Stewart’s presentation, David Williams, District 1, asked for some definitive answers to show the company is progressing, including the tower lease completion schedule, how it compares with SCS’s original proposal, how many customers it has and a price point comparison with other providers.

Stewart offered to send that information to him.

Williams also asked about how the company markets a new coverage area when a new tower has become active. Stewart said the marketing starts about two weeks prior, and many residents in those areas who said they would be interested in service and signed up for notifications will be contacted.

bring fiber optic broadband access to the county.

Corey Hitt agreed with Edwards’ assessment of how costly and intensive bringing broadband to the county would be. He said, and Voorhees later verified, that Powhatan was the only one of Southside’s 18 localities where building a broadband infrastructure would be feasible, but as a co-op that wouldn’t be equitable for the other 17 territories.

Hitt gave an update to the supervisors last week.

He said the group applied for $115,000 in grant money from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) but recently learned the members’ effort was unsuccessful.

Powhatan scored too high in points because it has low unemployment rates, a low poverty rate and a high median household income.

Of the $115,000, about $76,000 would have funded study on bringing fiber to the county and the rest for a feasibility software program to match that data with the county’s GIS maps.

The group will meet again soon to see if they have any ideas going forward on steps to take. Traditional financing options won’t really work because it is not the kind of effort they want to invest in, and because the group operates as a nonprofit, it is not attractive to investors who want a higher return on investment.

At the end of the presentations, county administrator Ted Voorhees informed the board that he filled out an application for technical assistance from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), U. S. Department of Commerce, Broadband USA Program.

“I just thought it would be wise to ask them for an independent review of what our options were and what our market was like and whether we were doing a reasonable job of trying to develop broadband access given the market we are in,” he said, adding that he hasn’t heard back on the application yet.

He also pointed out that broadband documents are posted to a specific page on the county’s website, http://www.powhatanva.gov/389/BroadbandInitiative.

Students, faculty, staff, and friends of Mary Baldwin University gathered on March 29, for Honors Convocation, a ceremony to recognize student academic achievement.

Natali Sells of Moseley received the Business Award. The Outstanding Business Student award is given to the student that best exemplifies the effective practices in today's world with special focus on "business for a sustainable future." MBU business students look at the triple bottom line - achieving benefits that are economic, social, and environmental. With a strong foundation that includes marketing, management, finance, and economics, students will learn first-hand how successful business practices are enhanced with responsible, ethical, and sustainable decisions. The award winners exhibit these practices in and out of the classroom.

Founded in 1842, Mary Baldwin University is a small, coeducational university offering a range of degree programs from bachelor to doctoral. It serves a vibrant student population on its main campus in Staunton, at its nearby health sciences campus in Augusta County, online, and through regional advising centers throughout Virginia.

Two Powhatan students graduate from Coastal Carolina University Approximately 1,183 students were eligible to walk in Coastal Carolina University's graduation exercises, held on campus at the HTC Student Recreation Center and Convocation Center in three separate ceremonies May 4-5.

Among those students who graduated were Rachel Byrd of Powhatan, earning a Bachelor of Science in psychology, and Rebecca Ford of Powhatan, earning a Bachelor of Science in marine science.

Ford was also one of 81 Coastal Carolina University students who graduated from the institution's Honors Program. Each graduate has completed a rigorous curriculum composed of at least 24 hours of honors work, including a final honors thesis/project achieving a cumulating grade point average of at least 3.50. The cumulative GPA of the spring graduating class is 3.79. Students presented their work in public forums more than 75 times at conferences or research competitions and have earned numerous awards.

Honors students pursue a challenging and personalized education at Coastal Carolina University. They must meet graduated academic requirements and complete a senior thesis in order to earn the designation of "University Honors Program" on their transcript upon graduation from Coastal Carolina University.

Student liaison honored for service

Ruritans, Rosa’s recognize deputies

PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND

Lillie Brindley served as school board student liaison for the 2017-2018 school year. She was recognized at the Powhatan County School Board’s May 8 meeting for her dedication and serving as a connection between students and the school board. Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendent for instruction, pointed out that it has been a pleasure to have Brindley as the school liaison. She provided insight into what is going on in the school as well as promoting school events. Omohundro also shared a commendation from Powhatan High School principal Mike Massa, who called Brindley a selfless leader behind the scenes. School board chairman Joe Walters pointed out how much effort it takes to be a senior in high school and to serve as the student liaison, who attends meetings regularly.

LANDFILL Continued from pg. 1

resenting County Waste of Virginia.

Coffey laid out how county staff reviewed the applications by determining how the project would fit in with Cumberland County’s 2013 Comprehensive Plan and its Zoning Ordinance. The staff found the two applications were consistent with the “comprehensive plan goals, objective and policies as cited herein, as well as the zoning ordinance and is supportive of the county’s plans to provide for and encourage economic development opportunities.” Staff recommended approval of the two applications along with two proffered conditions from the applicant, Coffey said.

Shepheard spoke to the review that VDOT did of the traffic impact statement commissioned by County Waste of Virginia regarding the landfill and the truck traffic that would result. It addressed the current and proposed average daily traffic turn lane warrants and sight distance requirements of the commercial entrance on Route 60, which VDOT raised no objections to, finding them “size appropriate for the design of the vehicles and also for the expected traffic volumes.”

She also noted that the proposed relocation of Routes 685 and 654 are conceptually acceptable to VDOT but said a formal plan submittal making sure the designs meet VDOT standards will be required prior to final approval and permit issuance.

Shewmake gave a presentation about the details of the proposed project, covering some familiar ground as well as offering more detail on topics such as how the company would seek to protect adjacent properties; the issue of groundwater flow; odor management; road improvements; traffic impacts and the design of the landfill.

At the beginning of the meeting, Burger had warned the crowd that public comments would proceed in an orderly fashion with people signing up to speak to the members for up to three minutes and only one person being allowed to speak at one time. Those who did not abide by this rule would be escorted out by law enforcement, he warned.

The guidelines were in response to the unruliness that prevailed at the previous week’s community meeting, when upset residents consistently interrupted not only representatives from County Waste of Virginia during their presentations but other residents who were trying to speak.

ing on the rezoning application, about 26 people spoke, ranging from a 9-year-old future resident of Cumberland County to people whose families have lived on their land for decades to concerned residents of Powhatan County. Among the Powhatan County residents who spoke were Powhatan County Board of Supervisors Chair Carson Tucker.

Staff recommendation Coffey said he was hired by the county in January to help with the transition between planning directors, especially on cases involving issues of large land use.

Coffey detailed how the rezoning application and proposed use were stacked against the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance. Staff determined that the proposed use of the land would meet the comprehensive plan’s goals of preserving and managing the county’s natural resources, promoting the wise and efficient utilization of lands within the county, and encouraging the creation of appropriate economic opportunity for current and future citizens.

The proposed use of the subject property is compatible with the intent of the M-2 zoning district, and the applicant’s first proffer limits the permitted uses to only those enumerated in the proffer that are associated with the primary use, Coffey said.

The first proffer proposed by the applicant is to allow only the permitted use of the property for the operation of a sanitary landfill and certain other permitted accessory uses: borrow areas, soil stockpiles, scales and scale house, office, maintenance facility, leachate management system, gas management system including beneficial usage, stormwater management system, trailer storage, parking, convenience center and recycling facilities, storage, transfer stations, composting operations, fuel storage, and equipment storage.

The second proffered condition states that any relocation of Route 654 or 685 is subject to review and approval by VDOT and would be at County Waste of Virginia’s expense.

Staff’s conclusion was that “the requested action is consistent with the comprehensive plan goals, objective and policies as cited, as well as the Zoning Ordinance and is supportive of the county’s plans to provide for and encourage economic development opportunities. The project’s location, buffers, and other proposed conditions sufficiently mitigate the adverse impacts associated with the use,” Coffey said.

County Waste’s presentation Shewmake’s presentation to the planning commission included more technical details to the general overview given at the June 7 meeting. He made some of the same points made in that meeting but also touched on several new points.

Some of the new highlights from Shewmake’s presentation included: Land use – Shewmake reiterated that of the 1,143 acres proposed for rezoning, only about 500 acres total would be used for the actual landfill.

Since the eastern area (200 acres) is closer to the border with more homes densely adjoining the property, the western area would be filled first and take about 20 years. As it neared being filled, preparation would begin on the eastern portion as Stage 2 of the development and would last an estimated 15 years.

Route 60 – When looking for a location, access to a major arterial road like Route 60 was key to handling the 300 trucks trucks that would daily bring trash to the landfill.

In the meeting, 250 trucks was mentioned a great deal, but the CUP application lists about 300 trucks a day when operating at a capacity of 5,000 tons of wasted a day. Shewmake estimated that about 85 percent of the traffic would come from the east, passing through Powhatan County, to minimize the impact on Cumberland County residents.

Buffers – Shewmake showed photo examples of trees and shrubbery that would act as buffers around the property and said County Waste would offer buffers even more generous than those required by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The company would have 200foot buffers from other properties and the actual landfill would need to be at least 300 feet, he said.

“Our goal is not to be seen,” he said.

Groundwater – Well sampling would be done constantly to monitor the groundwater so if a problem arose it could be addressed immediately, Shewmake said. He showed a map of the site with groundwater flows marked out and said that it is generally flowed toward the center of the facility, and away from any neighboring houses and wells. A significant number of additional observation wells will be installed to provide more detail on groundwater flow direction, and to provide points for monitoring groundwater quality, both within the site and around the site perimeter.

Traffic analysis – Shewmake outlined a traffic analysis that showed see LANDFILL pg. 10

Library promotes seeing the world through reading

By Laura McFarland News Editor

I

f I were to list my hobbies in the order in which they give me the most enjoyment, travel would always top the list, even if it isn’t indulged as often as I would like.

As a kid, I was fascinated by the idea of traveling around the world, although the trips I imagined were definitely going to last longer than Phileas Fogg’s whirlwind 80-day journey.

Looking back, it’s not immediately clear where the fascination with travel and seeing new sights started. I distinctly remember having a poster about the flags of the world and trying to memorize as many as possible.

It was probably out of date, but I owned a globe that I used to spin, stop with my finger pointed at some random place and then imagine going to the destination on some adventure.

My family did a good job of traveling around a good portion of the United States, and I started some of my own exploration in college when I studied abroad in England. To this day, my passport from that time is still one of my favorite reminders of those journeys.

But where did it all start? Again, I’m not really

sure, but being an avid reader from a young age, I imagine books probably had something to do with the cultivation of that love of travel.

That’s probably why it was so exciting to see this year‘s theme for the Powhatan County Public Library 2018 summer reading program, “Reading Takes You Everywhere!”

The summer reading kickoff party was a blast. The library was decorated with a variety of world travel themed décor. My personal favorite was a sign poststyle display in the lobby, with signs pointing toward fantastical destinations such as Narnia, Toad Hall, Hogwarts, Krypton, Treasure Island, Neverland, The Chocolate Factory, Aladdin’s Cave, and Far Far Away.

At the top of the display was a sign that read “Where will reading take you?”

After the long line of families had registered and gotten their free books (each child receives a free ageappropriate book at every summer reading event), it was time for the opening story. Husband and wife duo Rae Shrewsberry and José Luis Reyes Lopez read a cute book called “Maria Had a Little Llama/María Tenía Una Llamita.” The two Powhatan County Public Schools world language teachers took turns reading the inaugural book of the summer reading series. Rae read

ONE “B” PLEASE

in English and José mirrored the text by reading the Spanish version. The storytime had a fun energy to it, especially as José excitedly had the children repeat some of the Spanish terms used in the story.

After that, the children and their parents spread out to various parts of the library to different stations aligned with specific countries – Spain, China, Tanzania, and France – with each offering their own themed activities and snacks to represent the country and a display of related library books.

When I was younger, I used to marvel at the idea that some people born today never leave their hometown, much less go to another state or even another country. But it is a fact of life that for various reasons the only view of the rest of the world some people will ever get is through what they see on television and movies or what they read in books. If that is so, hopefully it will be one heck of a book.

But maybe if the right book comes along and captures their imaginations this summer, some of our Powhatan youth will read something that will inspire them to one day explore the world and see where it takes them.

STUDENT NEWS Continued from pg. 4

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

It’s a marketing tsunami that will surely be remembered as the greatest public relations gamble since Coca Cola pulled its favorite blend off the shelves three decades ago.

Last week, International House of Pancakes, better known to all of us as IHOP, will abandon that recognizable trademark after 60 years and rename the eatery IHOb. Recognizing the reality that a little suspense might add just the right amount of drama to the unveiling of its new name, restaurant officials announced the new name would not be revealed until a week later.

And that tidbit of information sent the Social Media world into a frenzy trying to decipher what the “b” could possible, well, be.

Investigative reporter types immediately began contacting sources to gain some insight and reveal what the inverted “P” could be hiding.

Twitter devotees expressed immediate displeasure with the name change with one stating he would now only visit the Domestic House of Pancakes.

And then there were the barrage of suggestions on what the “b” might denote. Everything from breakfast and bacon, to biscuits and bologna was offered, but no definitive winner emerged.

As the week progressed, the fog surrounding the name change began to lift. The first hints came in the company’s announcement claiming the old standby was “flippin” its name.

Days in to the mystery, burgers became the front-runner.

Twitter users claiming to be employees spilled the beans saying the restaurant will unveil a new line of burgers this week… and that’s what the “b” stands for.

Assuming that’s correct, it seems like an undignified end for the pancakes that have repre-

sented the restaurant’s staple item for decades. The company has stressed its large selection of signature pancakes will not disappear with their billboard demotion.

But, still, IHOP becoming the International House of Burgers puzzles me. I’ve been to some countries on this planet where you can’t find a hamburger, but, pancakes — readily available.

And it seems I’m not alone in the legion of pancake experts left scratching their heads over this maybe not permanent change.

“IHOP is changing its name to IHOB and while people think it stands for “breakfast” I’m putting my money on BETRAYAL”, one disgruntled fan wrote.

During the Coca Cola dilemma, it looked like one of the biggest mistakes in marketing history when the soft drink giant introduced a new flavored cola that left devoted fans at almost riot level.

For weeks, devotees searched for the last remaining old recipe Cokes, saving them for special occasions as sales for the new product plummeted.

After nearly two months of pubic outcry, the company relented and brought the old formula back to enormous demand.

So, what does the New Coke episode have to do with IHOP changing its name? Maybe, nothing, or more probably, everything.

What seemed like a Titanic disaster at the time didn’t end badly for Coca Cola. Their sales increased following the debacle of the reemergence of what was not called Coca Cola Classic, and the Atlanta based company eventually became the world’s leading soft drink manufacturer.

Is IHOP, I mean IHOb hoping for the same results? If so, I can only offer one cautionary note. The new Coke, renamed Coke II was discontinued in 1992.

Comcast NBCUniversal awards scholarships to high school seniors Comcast NBCUniversal recently announced that it had awarded approximately $83,000 in scholarships for the 2018-19 school year to 74 Virginia students as part of its annual Leaders and Achievers® Scholarship Program.

Madison Evans of Powhatan High School was among the 74 Virginia high school seniors who were awarded scholarships.

The program, funded by the Comcast Foundation, is a one-time, $1,000 scholarship awarded to the best and brightest high school seniors for their community service, academic performance and leadership skills. Since 2001, more than $28 million has been awarded to nearly 27,000 high school seniors across the country as part of the Leaders and Achievers Program.

“All of our Leaders and Achievers Scholarship winners show a strong commitment to their communities and academic achievement,” said Mary McLaughlin, senior vice president of Comcast’s Beltway Region. “We are proud to recognize their accomplishments and look forward to supporting them as they further their education.”

Comcast, joined by the Virginia Secretary of Education Atif Qarni and other elected officials and school administrators, recognized the students at a special event held at the Virginia State Capitol on Thursday, May 10.

“Congratulations to all of the recipients of this year’s Leaders and Achievers scholarships,” said Governor Ralph Northam. "And, thank you to Comcast for supporting our future leaders as they continue their education. I am honored to see so many community, academic and leadership achievements from students throughout Virginia.”

The Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program provides scholarships to students who strive to achieve their full potential, who are catalysts for positive change in their communities, who are involved in their schools, and who serve as models for their fellow students.

But in the spring of 1864, Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan took command of the Army of the Potomac’s cavalry.

Sheridan possessed an aggressive air that matched Stuart and exceeded that of his predecessors. It was not long before the two would on the field of battle. The engagement came on May 11, 1864, several miles north of Richmond and ultimately cost Stuart his life. Davis will discuss the lost battle of Yellow Tavern.

No One Knows Powhatan Better…It’s Our Home!

Serving Powhatan for 29 Years

Powhatan Today, June 20, 2018

Page 10A

LANDFILL Continued from pg. 6

the the increased traffic created by the proposed landfill will not create a decreased “level of service” for Route 60. “Level of service” (LOS) is a measure used to relate the quality of motor vehicle traffic service and its standards range from “A” or essentially free flowing traffic to “F” or forced or breakdown flow. Currently, Route 60 is either a “B” (reasonably free flow) or a “C” (stable flow, at or near free flow) depending on the time of day. Following the development of the landfill, the “level of service” will continue to fall within the “B” or “C” range, Shewmake said.

Public hearing After the first part of the meeting, which lasted a little under an hour, it took almost an hour and a half for the more than two dozen citizens who spoke during the rezoning application’s public hearing to give their various reasons for opposition.

Because of the large number of people who spoke, not everyone’s comments could be included, and not all name spellings could be verified, so some aren’t listed. Here are a few highlights of people who spoke.

Carson Tucker spoke to the planning commission on behalf of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors specifically on the subject of public safety. He talked about the aggressive driving on local roads and that the levels of service are deteriorating. Adding 250 trucks a day will affect a large percentage of Cumberland residents using Route 60 and an even higher percentage of Powhatan residents. He asked the commission to deny the rezoning

request in the name of public safety and neighborliness.

The Rev. Muriel Miller Branch spoke on behalf of the Agee Miller Mayo Dungey Family Association, which was formed to preserve their cultural, community and historical legacy throughout the county. She spoke specifically about the potential negative environmental impact by the landfill adjacent to Pine Grove Elementary School. The historical Rosenwald School was built around 1916 or 1917 and represents the history of culture of Americans of African and indigenous descent in Cumberland. The association has been granted a certificate of incorporation that would allow for the school to be restored and used as a museum or cultural and community center. Association members are concerned about the negative impact the “eyesore” will have on the longterm positive plans for the school as well as the landfill’s negative impact on the quality of life and environment of their family and neighbors.

“As stewards of our history and culture, and as stewards of the land God loaned us to farm, upon which to build our homes, to raise our families, to worship, to educate ourselves, and to bury our dead, we strongly object to the land use request of Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility,” she said.

Also talking about the school, Jacqueline James read a letter from Preservation of Virginia talking about how endangered Rosenwald Schools are as historic places. The letter cites Pine Grove School as a significant historic resource for Cumberland.

One woman asked how much consideration was actually being given to resi-

dents who oppose the project or if the decision has already been made because of the revenue it will generate for the county and state. She also worried about her child, who has chronic asthma, because of the quality of air being so close to the facility.

Michael Setaro said he owns a house off of Clinton Road as well as one in Chesterfield. In Chesterfield, he said he is a County Waste of Virginia customer and has seen his disposal service fee raised significantly every year. He questioned trusting people who have never run a landfill with the responsibility. The entire county may benefit from the project, but the residents who live close to the landfill would be impacted financially and otherwise, he said, adding the county was “pitting one county member against another.” He suggested the citizens joining together and fighting the landfill.

Janet Habel of Cumberland asked the planning commissioners to listed to the citizens and vote against the proposal. She pointed out 250 dump trucks would be going back and forth on Route 60, a two-lane road, and would be a risk for other vehicles on the road. She also talked about the effect on Powhatan County having to deal with all of the truck traffic and the residents who live close to the county line receiving all the risks with no potential benefits.

Ronald Tavernier of Cumberland said he lives 3,000 feet from the landfill and addressed several issues.

He talked about decreased property values, light pollution, sound pollution and water pollution and runoff that will affect Muddy Creek and the James River. The landfill says it will be covered when not in use, but it

will run 24 hours a day, he said.

A few people talked about the appeal of moving to Cumberland in the area where the landfill is proposed because it provides access to a manageable commute to Richmond without the expensive Powhatan property prices. But if the first thing they see when they cross into Cumberland is a dump, the county will lose its attraction to those potential homeowners, who could help the tax base of the county by locating here, residents said.

Bill Bryant of Powhatan, who is a developer, talked about the panic selling that has been created by the announcement of the landfill. It will drive the cost of the land down and negatively impact the tax structure.

More homes will bring more businesses to generate more revenue, he said.

Tim Kinnell of Cumberland said the county has threatened his safety on the highways, his civil liberty and his quality of life by “dumping another dump on my neighbors and my life.”

He talked about the call for civility from residents at the community meeting but questioned where the civility was when a landfill is being dumped on local residents.

“My neighbors and I do not have to be civil, polite, or quiet while you systematically change our lives,” he said.

The final speaker of the night was 9-year-old Madilyn Jackson, who came with her mother and brother and spoke to the planning commission. She said her family lives in Chesterfield near a landfill and talked about not wanting to play outside because it stinks. Her family is moving to Cumberland to be with relatives and she said she doesn’t want to move from one landfill to another.

School board to adjust for budget changes

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The adoption of the state budget earlier this month meant the Powhatan County School Board finally learned how much of a decrease in state funds the school district would see.

Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations, updated the board on the fiscal year (FY) 2019 budget during its workshop on Tuesday, June 12.

On March 27, the school board approved the operating budget for FY 2019 at $47,061,227 and the food service budget at $1,398,121 despite not having a definitive answer on the state budget, he said.

On May 14, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors knew of this before it adopted and appropriated the FY 2019 budget that reduced the local county transfer from the proposed amount of $23,109,684 to $23,045,076 (a reduction of $64,608).

The school board informed the supervisors of the uncertainty in the school budget because of this big unknown but assured them that it had already identified several areas within its own budget where cuts could be made to cover the budget cuts they could expect, depending on which version of the state budget was adopted.

On May 30, the General Assembly finally adopted the state budget, and on June 8 the Department of Education released the calculation templates that show the distribution of state funds by school division.

The adopted state budget provides Powhatan $261,822 less than the governor’s proposed budget, Johns said. Consequently the Operating Budget for FY 2019 needs to be amended to reflect the reduced revenue of $326,430 (county $64,608 and state $261,822). There are no changes needed to the food service budget.

The operating budget that was approved on March 27 included a reserve of $230,000 that was created as a result of outsourcing food services and additional savings of $115,000 were identified with a reduction in the services received from the Math Science Innovation Center, Johns said. The amended budget would decrease the instruction category by $96,430 that would have been spent on the Math Science Innovation Center. These two items are sufficient to cover the decreased revenues.

The board did not take any action on the item at the meeting or have any discussion. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said the goal is to adopt the amended budget at its June 26 meeting.

Post 201 Seniors team ready for 2018 campaign

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

T

he campus at Powhatan High School was largely quiet on June 14, save for a few people running on the track.

However, the baseball field was coming back to life as American Legion Post 201 continued to prepare for the upcoming summer season.

Post 201 made a run in last season’s District 11 playoffs, all the way to the quarterfinals against Post 125.

The season ended in a 13-11 loss at Shepherd Stadium, but 201 carries a lot

of that momentum into the 2018 campaign.

“For the returners, we have those guys who have been there and the opportunity to play (in the playoffs),” Post 201 head coach Eric Mead said. “As far as talent goes, I think we’re as talented this year and I think we’re a little better on defense.

We’re sitting on 12 pitchers in the bullpen this year. We’ve got a little going into this year and I feel really good about it.”

Post 201 has eight returning players from that team that made the quarterfinals a season ago: Zach Frame, Austin Nicholas, Cale Agee, Jacob Beil, Hunter Montgomery, Josh Dawson, Trey John-

son and Adam Seal.

Jacob Frame, Owen Agee, Cody Willis, Thomas Jordan, Sam Reid, Carter Minnick, Reilly Dickerson, Austin Rose and Tommy Preston round out the Post 201 roster.

Preston, Willis and Beil are fresh off the state-playoff run from the Powhatan varsity baseball team. Montgomery and Jacob Frame also a Powhatan products.

Rose, a Goochland High School player, played in the state semifinals with the Bulldogs.

Minnick, Reid and Jordan played come to Post 201 with experience from James River’s baseball team.

Louisa High School is represented in Nicholas and Owen Agee.

Johnson is currently on Amelia’s baseball team and Dickerson attends Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

Dawson, an Amelia product, just completed his freshman season as a member of the Roanoke College baseball team.

Cale Agee, another Maroons player, is from Louisa.

Zach Frame, a Powhatan graduate, just finished his freshman year as a Hornet at Shenandoah.

Young Junior Legion team prepares for second season

Post 201’s Colby Cheatham slides for a catch during outfield practice at Powhatan Middle School on June 14.

Last season, the American Legion Post 201 Junior baseball team got off to a hot start in its inaugural season.

But, Post 201 cooled off as the season progressed, something that coach Ott Mullins is hoping to avoid for the 2018 season.

“This year, I’d rather us not try to be as big of an underdog as we were last year,” he said. “Toward the end of the year, that showed up and we didn’t do as well toward the end and try to remain consistent the entire year rather than coming out like gang busters and then having problems.”

Consistency is the big thing that Mullins hopes to achieve this season and the

players that he has on the squad are still young overall, but are a talented bunch.

“We’re older than we were last year and I think we’re more talented than we were last year,” Mullins said. “I think that’ll pay dividends as the season goes on.”

Mullins said he hopes to keep the team together this season and to play competitively against the other Juniors teams that Post 201 will go up against this year.

Post 201’s Juniors boast some players from the Pocahontas Middle School team that won its second consecutive championship this year.

Powhatan’s Davis donating hair for a good cause

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

P

owhatan lacrosse player Ryland Davis has been fairly easy to spot for the past two seasons, whether playing for the Indians lacrosse team or with his Venom Lacrosse 2021 team.

Manning the midfield for the Indians and Venom, Davis sports a long head of hair that leaks out underneath his helmet.

This isn’t necessarily a fashion statement from Davis, but has become a specific effort to help those in need from the Powhatan freshman.

For the past two years, Davis has been growing out his hair. Recently, he decided to donate his hair to the Childhood Leukemia Foundation.

The foundation was founded in 1992 and works with patients ages 21 and under who have been diagnosed with all forms of cancer.

There are more than 250 hospitals that work with the foundation across the United States, according to the foundation’s website.

The foundation’s programs work to improve self-esteem of the patients, and one program in particular that caught the attention of Davis, is one called

“Hugs U Wear,” which provides custom-made wigs to children made of 100-percent human hair, free of charge.

“I first thought about getting my hair cut a few months ago,” Davis said.

“As the weather turned warmer, it was getting hot in my helmet. I decided not to just throw away my hair, but to do something good with it.”

Enter Davis familyfriend Lily Weaver.

Weaver is a 16-year-old girl who lives in Maryland and was diagnosed with a form of bone cancer known as Ewing Sarcoma when she was 10-yearsold.

Weaver underwent treatment, shaved her head as she was losing her hair, and beat the cancer. But, last summer, she began her battle once more as Ewing’s Sarcoma returned.

According to the Mayo Clinic website, Ewing’s Sarcoma is a rare form of cancer that occurs in the bones or in the soft tissue surrounding the bones. It most often starts in the pelvis, legs or arms, but can be found in any bone in the body.

This type of cancer is most common in young adults and teenagers. According to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital website on the disease, about half of all cases occur in patients

between the ages of 10 and 20.

Symptoms can include a lump, sometimes warm and soft, in the arms, legs, chest or pelvis, unexplained fever or the unexplained break of a bone.

Treatment options include chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy and clinical trials.

According to St. Jude’s around 70-percent of children with the disease are cured, with survival rates falling to 56-percent for those ages 15-to-19.

Weaver shaved her head once again for her second bout with the disease.

Ryland’s father, Jason, went to college at Davis and Elkins with Lily’s parents and showed Ryland a photo of Weaver with her head shaved.

That photo, along with further research into children who are bald due to their fight with cancer, further solidified Davis’ decision to donate his hair.

While the foundation has recently stopped accepting hair donations, Davis was grandfathered in so that he is still allowed to follow through on his promise.

“It is simple, but there are guidelines,” Davis said of his donation process.

“The hair must be 12 inches in length and clean and bundled so that it doesn’t tangle. I’m almost at the correct length to get it cut.”

Davis said that he has received some good-natured teasing about his long hair by his teammates.

As a face-off midfielder, Davis also had an idea for a way to raise money during the season.

“When I get it cut, the guys will give me some more (teasing),” he said.

“But, I know that I am doing something good with my hair. I’m looking forward to it. My closest friends are very supportive. We’re talking about

trying to do a fundraiser next season. We will try to get pledges from the community and for every faceoff we win, we’ll get something like one dollar.”

In addition to Weaver’s story inspiring Davis to donate his hair for a wig, he is also trying to raise funds for Weaver’s medical costs and associated needs while she is undergoing treatment.

Weaver herself is an outspoken individual, as she is an advocate with The Truth 365 and has spoken in favor of more funding for childhood cancer research. She has also authored articles about her cancer battles and was featured on an HBO Boxing special as well.

Davis said the fact that

Weaver has been battling cancer for almost as long as he’s been playing lacrosse was something that hit home with him.

“She’s a real fighter,” he said. “Even though she’s fighting for her life, she’s out there advocating for others and bringing awareness to the issue. I fight for a little ball, but she’s fighting for her life.

I’m hoping that by sharing what I’m doing, other people will see that they can also make a difference. I’m just cutting my hair. That’s a simple sacrifice, but it will make a huge difference to a child who has lost their hair.

Others can help by also making a simple sacrifice.

For just the cost of a few cups of coffee or lunch out, other can also help.”

Davis said that he is

happy that he can help fight this disease by something as simple as cutting his hair.

“My family uses the phrase ‘there, but by the grace of God, go I,” he said. “Cancer isn’t selective and it can hit anyone.

I’m lucky that I get to play the game that I love. She’s been fighting cancer since I started playing lacrosse.

I’m happy to help by doing the simple act of getting a haircut. It’s nothing, really, but I’m willing to do it because there, by the grace of God, go I. I just hope others will make a donation.”

Davis said that donations can be made in Weaver’s name through the Patty Pollatos Fund.

All funds donated through this organization will benefit Weaver directly.

ginia Independent Schools Athletic Association state playoffs in Division III this season.

Louisa advanced to the Region 4B semifinals and James River made it to the Region 6B semifinals.

“They all got to play against some good talent,” Mead said. “They got to play against some really talented ball clubs. You bring those schools together out here…it’s a good thing.”

Mead noted that while those longer playoff runs for some of the teams meant that some players

were late arriving to the Post 201 practice, the players have come together quickly on the outset of the season.

Overall, Mead said that he’s confident in how his team is looking at this point in the season.

“We feel really good,” he said. “We have three very good players who have come to us from James River, a catcher from Goochland who is going to be a three-year guy. I’m feeling very good.”

Post 201 will begin its season at home at Pow-

hatan High School against Post 186 on June 23.

Mead said that the goal of the season is always to advance to the Legion World Series, but the focus will be on winning baseball games and continuing to improve.

“We always want to get better every single year, which we’ve done over the past four years,” he said. “Certainly, states are something that we could get ourselves into this year. Our goal is the World Series. Our objective is to win baseball games.”

Roundup: Powhatan LL All-Stars ready for districts

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan Little League is sending two teams to the District V Little League tournament, which begins on June 22.

The first team, the 8-to10-year-old All-Stars, opens their district t tournament on June 23 at 10 a.m.

Michael Keeler, the manager of the All-Stars, said that the team has been looking good thus far.

“I think we’ve got a good team,” he said. “We have 14 kids on the team and they’re very excited.

They’re good players and they want to play. They all have good ability and it’s a good group of kids.”

The team has had five practices as of June 16, but hasn’t had a full squad due to the obligations to their teams in the regular season playoffs and those games still occurring.

“It’s been tough because almost every practice not everyone has been there because of the normal Little League season going on and the tournament going on,” he said.

“But, we’ve got all this week to practice with the whole team there.”

Over the five practices and understanding the players on the roster, Keeler said that versatility is the biggest strength that the team has entering the tournament.

“We have a lot of kids who can play a lot of different positions,” he said.

“They’ve all played a number of positions. We also have a lot of pitchers.

We’ve got eight kids who can legitimately pitch, which is good. With a chance to have a lot of games in short periods of time and having to limit the kids with pitch counts, it gives us the chance to not worry about how many games we are playing since we have so many kids who can pitch.”

Keeler said that the team boasts some players who are good at the plate as well as possessing speed on the base paths.

“If we can get on the bases, I think we can get around pretty well,” he said.

While the team might have has a plethora of pitchers, the velocity of some of those pitchers is on the lower end of the spectrum, according to Keeler.

“We only have a couple pitchers who have a decent velocity,” he said. “Most of them don’t have much velocity, but we have a few kids who do.”

Dylan Eberts, Maxwell Petska, Sam Wilson, Madison Taylor, Matthew Fountain, Nathan Butler, Matthew Taylor, Tyler Bilthius, Seth Hull, Zachary Bilthuis, Aaron Keeler, Max Shannon, Evan Eberts and Landon Flora make up the roster for the All-Stars.

Powhatan will open their District V tournament at 10 a.m. on Field No. 2 at Atlee Little League against Huguenot Little League (American).

Should Powhatan win that game, they would advance in the winner’s bracket and would face ether Central Chesterfield, Atlee, or Tuckahoe Little League (American) on June 25 at 8 p.m. on Field No. 2.

If Powhatan loses its opener, then the team would fall to the consolation bracket of the doubleelimination tournament.

Powhatan would face the loser of Richmond and Huguenot Little League (National) in an effort to keep their tournament chances alive.

That consolation game would be played on June 24 at 1 p.m., also on Field No. 2.

Keeler said that his goal is for his team to be competitive throughout the entire game.

“I want the kids to play a good game against tough competition,” he said. “I don’t know how the competition will be, this is my first time coaching, but I understand the competition will be pretty stiff. So, I think, if we can play a

good game and make it last. I want it to last all six innings and have it be a close game. That’d be something to be proud of.

If we can go all six innings, have it be close, maybe get a win or two, that’d be good.”

Powhatan Little League will also be sending a Senior League team to the District V tournament at Atlee Little League.

Powhatan will open the tournament on June 24 at 5:30 p.m. on Field No. 1 against Tuckahoe Little League (National).

Should Powhatan win, they would advance in the winner’s bracket to a game on June 27 at 8 p.m. on Field No. 1 against Atlee/ Bethlehem Little League, Ashland Little League or Central Chesterfield Little League.

If Powhatan falls to Tuckahoe in the opener, then its next game would be a consolation game on June 26 at 8 p.m. on Field No. 1 against the loser of Atlee/Bethlehem and Ashland.

John Snellings is the manager of the Senior AllStars, with Jay Heckel and Russell Turner as assistant coaches.

Christopher King, Tristen Chapman, Simon Blount, Seth Blount, Sam Turner, Eric Hilbert, Zach Shiflett, Parker Snellings, Adam Mitchell, River Windsor, Nolan Heckle, Austyn Jamerson, Eric Willersdorf and Cade Van Buskirk make up the roster for the Senior League All-Stars.

PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND

From staff reports On June 12, the Powhatan County School Board recognized several athletic accomplishments at the school board meeting.

The school board recognized the achievements of the four Powhatan track athletes who qualified for the Class 4 state meet.

Colton Vosburg competed in the 800 meters, Lindsey Fanz also competed in the 800, Black McCoy competed in the discus and Ashley Trevillian competed in the high

jump.

The Indians track team is coached by Paulette Bowman, Ernie Henderson, Hedy Keller and Beth Wildauer.

Also recognized was Powhatan head baseball coach Gregg Conner, who achieved his 500th career win as head coach on May 8 in a 12-0 win over Charlottesville.

Conner has been head coach of the Indians for 34 years and has won two state championships.

He is only the fifth coach in Virginia High

School League history to reach the 500 win plateau.

The Pocahontas Middle School baseball team had a memorable season, which included winning five consecutive games during the team’s invitational at Fighting Creek Park to take home the trophy in the event.

Overall, the team went 18-1 this season and outscored its opponents 25028. The Indians won backto-back conference championships and have won three out of the last four titles.

Hunter Beil, Josh Boelt, Mitch Bolt, Emory Bradley, Luke Burkhart, Andrew Cheatham, Carter Dawson, Jacob DeHart, Conner Hedgepeth, Zack Karanian, Matthew Layman, Brandon Lyman, Evan Reese, Alex Reeves, Thomas Robinson, Ben Schubert, Kendrick Sheffield, Andrew Shiflett, Dylan Trevillian, William Tuttle and Jason Worthington were the members of the team.

The Indians are coached by Ott Mullins along with Jarrett Fields

and Phil Nusbaum as assistants.

The Pocahontas Middle School track team continued their long history of success as they won their 14th conference title in the last 15 seasons.

A total of 14 girls contributed to the scoring at the conference championship meet.

Sheyla Daniels, Alicia Dickerson, Samantha Flippo, Catherine Griffith, Reagan Hansen, Faith Henderson, Addison Jones, Shaniece Morris, Chloe Newcomb, Sammy

happy about that.”

That camaraderie and chemistry that the players will build this season will go a long way in establishing a healthy core of not only this team, but future teams in the Powhatan baseball system.

“It tells them a lot about themselves,” Mullins said. “When they go out and play on different teams, they don’t know exactly where they fit into the Powhatan system. The more interest we get with this Junior Legion team, I think it’ll help funnel these guys into high school and they’ll hit the

ground running pretty well from the JV team on up.”

While the team has had only two days of tryouts and a handful of practices, Post 201 participated in its first game on June 19 against Spotsylvania.

Mullins said that he sees a lineup that has some pop as well as one that is good in the field as well.

“Right now, we have a lot of guys that can hit the ball pretty well,” he said.

“Last year, we limped along and got some lucky breaks and our pitchers

pitched well. We’re on the verge of putting together the whole package offensively and defensively.”

Colby Cheatham has already impressed in practice as he hit a home run to dead-centerfield and Chase Gayness has had a good start to the season as well.

“We’ve got some good talent and some good players,” Mullins said.

The rest of the Juniors schedule was not finalized for the deadline of this issue.

Fans can consult the Post 201 Facebook page for more information.

system next season and are part of the continuing effort to keep the baseball system in Powhatan rolling along and healthy with talent in the pipeline.

Mullins said that a handful of players have committed to playing only for the Juniors team this summer and will be a source of consistency in the roster and on the field for the team.

“Most of those guys are Powhatan guys,” he said. “They’ll be playing at the high school next year with each other. I’m
