Residents attend town hall

on Cumberland landfill plan

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A town hall meeting held last week in District 5 of Powhatan County focused on what residents could and should be doing to try to prevent a landfill from opening in Cumberland County near the Powhatan County border.

A good size group met on Tuesday, June 19 in the bay of Deep Creek Volunteer Fire Department to discuss what recourse residents of both counties might have in preventing the proposed landfill from moving forward.

Powhatan County Board of Supervisors Chairman Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, helped organize the meeting to give residents an opportunity to not only hear some practical ways to proceed but to begin organizing and choosing citizen leaders who will spearhead the effort.

The meeting started with advice and input from several officials and then moved to an opportunity for residents of both counties to share their thoughts and arguments.

Powhatan County Attorney Tom Lacheney urges residents attending a meeting on a possible landfill project in Cumberland to focus their arguments against the plan on facts rather than emotion.

Tucker also shared his intention to bring a resolution before his fellow supervisors at their next meeting on Monday, June 25, which occurred at the same time the Cumberland County Planning Commission was scheduled to vote on their recommendation regarding the landfill.

Both meetings occurred after press time.

As the June 19 gathering was a town hall meeting, no official action was taken.

CUMBERLAND – The second half of a public hearing held by the Cumberland County Planning Commission about the landfill being proposed in Cumberland County near the Powhatan County border still left those in attendance with no answers on how this matter might proceed.

POWHATAN – After 34 years of working in various places and roles for the Virginia Department of Social Services, Catherine Pemberton said serving as the director for the local Powhatan County office for the last eight years has been the best place she has ever worked.

Friday, June 29 is Pemberton’s last day supervising the 18 programs run out of the local social services office.

She said she accepted the position in Powhatan eight years ago to cut her commute in half. She didn’t expect she would love the job and the place so much.

The county itself had numerous positives in her professional capacity: it has a low poverty rate and low unemployment rate, and there are a variety of organizations and people that want to make the county a better place for others, she said. It is a very caring place, she added.

But most of all, she said she will

Man pleads guilty to sexual battery of stepdaughter, sentenced to seven years

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A man accused of sexually molesting his underage stepdaughter while living in Powhatan County was sentenced to seven years in prison last week as part of a plea deal.

Mark Jason Elzey, 40, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual battery of a child less than 13 years of age on Wednesday, June 20 in Powhatan County Circuit ELZEY Court.

Circuit Court Judge Paul W. Cella accepted the plea worked out by defense attorney Robin M. Morgan and assistant commonwealth’s attorney Gretchen Brown.

Elzey entered an Alford plea, which is when a defendant says he is innocent of a crime but admits the prosecution has enough evidence to prove that he is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The plea involved a reduction of charges against Elzey, who was originally charged with one count of forcible sodomy with a child less than 13 years of age, four counts of object sexual penetration with a child less than 13 years of age, and 10 counts of aggravated sexual battery of a child less than 13 years of age. All but the two charges in the plea deal were dropped.

The young girl, who is 13 now, was 11 and 12 at the time of the offenses Elzey was charged with by the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office.

As part of the deal, Elzey was sentenced to 20 years with 13 years suspended on one of the aggravated sexual battery charges and 20 years with 20 years suspended on the other.

Other conditions of the plea are that he is placed on indefinite supervised probation following his release from incarceration; and he has to successfully complete sex offender treatment. He also cannot have unsupervised contact with minors during his period of supervision and cannot have any contact with the victim.

Brown said she was motivated to accept the

plea deal for two reasons: it would save the victim the experience of being retraumatized by having to testify in court and Elzey will have to register as a violent sex offender every 90 days for the rest of his life. She said both the girl and her mother agreed to the plea deal terms.

Before accepting the plea, Brown explained the evidence she would have presented if the case had gone to trial. She said she would have presented a pattern of sexual abuse from the time the victim was 11 to 12.

The abuse came to an end when, on Nov. 22, 2017, the victim told her mother that her father had used his mouth to make contact with her breasts.

She would have testified that her stepfather told her about girls using hairbrushes and hot dogs in a sexual manner, according to Brown.

The victim also would have testified about how he challenged her to play video games, and, if she lost, he would then get to perform some sort of sex act on her.

Those same computer games were found in the trash on his computer days after the sheriff’s office began its investigation on Nov. 27, 2017, Brown said.

Most of the time that Brown was reading these descriptions, Elzey silently shook his head.

Morgan said the defense would have contradicted this evidence but understands that it is evidence.

Morgan also pointed out that two of the charges, the sodomy and object penetration charges, both carried a mandatory minimum term of life in prison if Elzey was found guilty in a trial.

Both of the aggravated sexual battery charges carried a maximum sentence of 20 years each but the higher end of the recommended guideline is six years and six months served. Brown said she went with seven years because it would mean the victim was 18 before Elzey was released.

Cella said he understood the commonwealth’s wish not to have the victim testify and felt the agreement was reasonable before he accepted the plea deal and Elzey, who had been out on bail, was taken into custody.

COMMISSION Continued from pg. 1

Bill Burger, who represents District 3, made it clear at the beginning of the meeting on Monday, June 18 that the commission would not be casting a vote on the recommendations it would make for the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors regarding County Waste of Virginia’s proposal to build Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility.

The planning commissioners were considering applications to rezone 15 parcels totaling 1,143 acres in District 2 from Agricultural (A-2) 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.

Those votes were scheduled to come at a third meeting this month for the planning commission, which was to be held on Monday, June 25. This meeting occurred after press time for this edition.

moved ahead with their vote as planned, the matter is scheduled to be heard by the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors in a public hearing held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 28 at Cumberland Elementary School, 60 School Road.

The facility in question is proposed to 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.

At its previous June 14 meeting, the commission had held the public hearing for the rezoning case. They heard a presentation from William Shewmake, a land use attorney and partner at LeClair Ryan representing County Waste of Virginia; received county staff’s recommendation to approve the rezoning application, and listened to comments from about 25 people during the public hearing. They deferred all action on the CUP application until the Jun 18 meeting.

The June 18 meeting had a good turnout, although it had a lower attendance than the com-

munity meeting and first planning commission meeting held about the landfill earlier in the month. Still, about 25 residents of Cumberland and Powhatan counties and even beyond spoke during the public hearing for the conditional use permit, all opposing the landfill for a variety of reasons.

Following the public hearing, the planning commission members offered personal comments for the first time, with one common theme among them that they had not yet made up their minds and would take time and consideration to decide how they would vote.

Following the commissioner comments, Shewmake followed up on a request he made at the beginning of the meeting.

Instead of making the same presentation he gave for the rezoning application, he reserved the right to answer any questions that arose during the meeting or that the planning commission had at the end.

However, as he got up to speak two and a half hours into the meeting, at least 50 percent of the audience stood up and left, many talking as they left. see PLANNING, pg. 3

Powhatan Today, June 27, 2018

Citizens seek referendum on Cumberland landfill CUMBERLAND – In the midst of a flurry of meetings being held to discuss and vote on a landfill proposed in Cumberland County near the Powhatan County border, an effort has been launched to take the decision out of the hands of local officials to let Cumberland voters decide through a referendum.

Bill Bruce of Cumberland filed paperwork with the Cumberland County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office on Friday, June 15 to begin the process to add a referendum about the landfill to the ballot in the November general election. The question asks, “Should the Board of Supervisors of Cumberland County, Virginia be allowed to approve the building of a landfill within the County Limits without a Voters Referendum?”

In the series of meetings held in Cumberland and Powhatan in the last few weeks, those that have publicly spoken out against the landfill have been largely residents who live around the potential landfill area in either county or within a few miles of it.

But Bruce said putting a landfill in Cumberland will have an impact on the entire county, so it should be up to the entire county to decide whether it is allowed to be built. As such, it is not a decision that should be able to move forward if only three out of five members of the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors approve it, he said.

“I believe that something that is going to affect the county for so long should not be left up to the board of supervisors. The planning and zoning could vote no across the board and it is still going to be submitted to the board of supervisors and it would only take three votes,” he said.

The effort to seek a referendum almost immediately received opposition. A motion to dismiss was filed by attorney L. Lee Byrd on June 15 on behalf of the board of supervisors, according to Deidre Martin, interim

Shewmake answered questions from the commissioners for another 50 minutes before the meeting adjourned with no action taken.

Highlights With a meeting clocking in at three hours and 20 minutes, a great deal of ground was covered in that time. Here are some of the highlights.

Numerous questions were raised at the June 14 meeting by citizens about various concerns and inquiries regarding the landfill that were not answered at the time. At the very beginning of the June 18 meeting, Bill Burger took the time to read through a written response he received from County Waste of Virginia regarding the questions asked at the meeting.

The topics covered in that eight-page document include a cemetery citizens asked about that County Waste said it had currently found no evidence of; the fate of Pine Grove Rosenwald School; operation hours; assurances of proper buffers; risks to the county if the landfill is approved but never opens; determining which landowners around the landfill might be compensated; determining the value of properties before they are purchased; affected Powhatan properties; noise levels; light pollution from the methane flare; covering the landfill; suppressing the odor; wondering about any possible benefits for Powhatan; who is responsible for fixing problems, and the source of the trash that would be dumped there.

The full list of question and answers, as well as other documents related to the landfill, is posted on http://www.cumberlandcounty.virginia.gov/.

The public hearing of the meeting once again covered a wide variety of issues and concerns. Some of the many issues brought up during the meeting were: negative impacts such as truck noise, being

downwind of smells, and water issues of residents around the potential landfill; the statement that Powhatan County will suffer the brunt of the assault by the dump trucks; the danger to a desired way of life of privacy and healthy living; the ongoing concern for the negative impact of the landfill on property values; the dangers of water pollution not only in the area around the landfill but in bigger bodies of water like the James River; the certainty that the landfill liner will leak; the negative impact on a potential events-related business a resident talked about; the danger of potential water pollution to Cumberland and Powhatan families; the risk of more accidents on the road because of the increased number of trucks; questioning the height of the buffers; saying if the landfill does move forward, the increased income should go toward paying down county debt instead of just spending it; the observation that no one has spoken in favor of the landfill; sharing stories about living near landfills in other locations; wanting an exact number of trucks that will be on the road; worrying about the impact on Pine Grove School; whether the landfill would be designed to withstand a massive storm hitting Cumberland; belief that landfills should be fed by rail; Cumberland’s actions not being neighborly to the counties around it like Powhatan if it approves the landfill; saying a fault line runs under the property; asking why Cumberland isn’t getting a bigger percentage in host fees; questioning the veracity of County Waste’s preliminary water flow groundwater assumptions; and saying Cumberland is attractive to millenials and the landfill will deter that.

Randy Bryant, District 1, took exception to accusations of being paid under the table and already having his mind made up.

Bryant, Leo Henderson, atlarge, and Roland Gilliam, District 5, said they have not made up their minds

and no person will tell them how to vote.

Stephen Donahue, District 2, noted that there are three competing interests in this issue: County Waste of Virginia operating as any other business does; the county government working to bring in revenue to meet the needs of Cumberland, and the people around the landfill. He also urged caution with a referendum being circulated to take the decision about the landfill out of the board of supervisors’ hands.

“The people here are opposed to it but Cumberland County in general probably is not unfortunately. What that means is that if you put it to a vote as a referendum, majority rules, which is dangerous.

You are better off doing what you are doing here, which is trying to talk to the people who can actually make a decision and hopefully change some minds,” he said.

Hubert Allen, District 4, said the comments he has heard at the meetings have been beneficial but added that “other than a handful of people from my district that are opposed to it, the majority of the people in my district are in favorite of it.” He added that doesn’t mean he will vote for it.

Allen said it is the planning commission’s role to decide whether the CIP and rezoning requests for whatever comes before them complies with the zoning code, the comprehensive plan, what is in the best interest of the county, and what do the people in his district want.

He also addressed the Powhatan residents, saying he wondered if the county “would be willing to subsidize Cumberland County’s budget to keep the landfill out?”

William Flippen, atlarge, talked about what Cumberland County does or doesn’t have in the way of amenities and the information he is looking at to make his decision. However, he said he still had not made a decision at that point.

Shewmake addressed comments made during the meeting regarding the traffic analysis and the ability of Route 60 to handle 300 trucks added to the road each way; the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) monitoring; the economic benefits to the county; the fact that the landfill was recommended by the staff; the issue of odor because of different kinds of waste; post-closure plans; reiterating that the landfill will mainly serve Central Virginia; working to exceed DEQ standards where possible; monitoring wells and a voluntary monitoring program for wells in the area; jobs the landfill would bring; and the idea that there are citizens who are a “silent majority” that support the landfill but don’t come out to speak at highly emotional meetings.

Shewmake also answered questions from the commissioners, the majority from Donahue.

es trying to get at least 680 Cumberland registered voters to sign the petition for a referendum. The number of signatures represents slightly more than 10 percent of the county’s 6,731 registered voters.

Bruce said he has been turning those into the voter registrar’s office as he goes so he wouldn’t inundate them all at once. However, with the board of supervisors possibly voting on the issue at its meeting on Thursday, June 28, he is trying to obtain the signatures in a very tight window of time. If he attains the required number of signatures that have been certified by the registrar’s office, it would go before the designated judge, who would have to approve it to go on the ballot, Martin said.

“If he gets the signatures, it is not dismissed and the judge approves for it to be on the ballot, we send it to the State Board of Elections and they handle putting it on the ballot,” she said.

clerk of the court. The motion to dismiss is based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction. It asks for “an emergency hearing on the Motion to Dismiss prior to the Clerk’s certification.”

The motion cites VA Code 24.2-684 and makes the argument that no referendum shall be placed on the ballot unless specifically authorized by the statute or charter, Martin said.

The motion says that “the petitioner has failed to cite any legal authority that authorizes the requested referendum. More importantly, no Virginia statute authorizes a referendum for the construction of a landfill,” according to the motion. It goes on to say that the “Statement must be dismissed because the requested referendum is not specifically authorized by statute or charter and, therefore, cannot be placed on the ballot.”

After the motion was filed on behalf of the Cumberland supervisors, first Judge Donald C. Blessing recused himself and then Chief Judge Leslie M. Osborn recused all of the judges of the Tenth Judicial Circuit from presiding in this matter.

Blessing’s recusal noted that his office is “partially funded by the County of Cumberland.” Osborn’s recusal simply noted “it would be improper.”

Martin said she has applied to the Supreme Court of Virginia to have a judge designated to hear Byrd’s motion but hadn’t received word on one by Friday, June 22.

“There are a lot of times, especially when it is the county involved, that the local judge is not going to be able to hear that because he sits here all the time and that’s a conflict,” she said. “Mr. Byrd is requesting a hearing. That is the basis of why we are trying to designate a judge.”

However, she pointed out that was always going to happen as a judge must give the final approval on whether a referendum is added to the ballot.

Since submitting his application for a referendum at the clerk’s office, Bruce has been attending the public meetings, visiting homes and standing outside business-

likely feeling, “if we could figure out a way to sue we would. It isn’t that easy. The General Assembly doesn’t make it that easy.�

Instead, he said residents need to understand the orderly steps and how they can do something. The first step is something that has already started with citizens going to voice their opposition with the Cumberland County Planning Commission, which was scheduled to vote on the issue on June 25, which occurred after press time.

They also need to speak to the members of the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors, who are scheduled to hear the issue at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 28 at Cumberland Elementary School, 60 School Road, Lacheney said. “What we need is well reasoned arguments. What the board of supervisors are not impressed with – I speak for mine but I suspect Cumberland is the same way – they are not impressed with emotional arguments about how it is going to destroy my family and ruin our property values. Those things they don’t pay attention to,� he said.

Instead, between now and the board meeting, residents need to come up with all of the problems the landfill would create and have the facts to back them up, Lacheney said. He suggested looking at the county’s comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance.

Even if the supervisors approved the issue, potential environmental and infrastructure issues could be raised with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), which has an intensive review process, including at least one public hearing.

Residents need to become “private detectives� looking for data about traffic flows and counts, impacts on neighborhoods and neighbors, and possible water pollution, he said, stressing again the importance of arguments based in fact, not emotion. “The more facts we have and the more people that turn out, the more impact we can have when we are dealing with the various state agencies,� he said.

Elected officials Powhatan supervisor David Williams, District 1, was invited by Tucker to attend the meeting and asked to speak about the impact on roads.

Williams said they had discussed the impact 300 trucks driving to and from Cumberland would have on Route 60 and especially the levels of service on the road. These levels of service would be negatively impacted by increase in truck traffic, he said. “For those of us who have traveled on this road coming out at night, you can see how the road is going to be challenged with these trash trucks. There is no question,� he said. “What I would ask the residents of Cumberland to consider is they are going to be using this road just like Powhatan residents. Roads don’t have borders. Folks in Cumberland County, probably a significant number of them come to the east to go to work.�

Del. Lee Ware, R-65, and Sen. Glen Sturtevant Jr., R-10, also attended the town hall meeting and shared some thoughts.

Ware made some general observations, shared information he received from the executive director of DEQ if the Cumberland supervisors approve it and offered some personal observations.

He emphasized that the Cumberland Planning Commission will make a recommendation, but only the Cumberland Board of Supervisors, which is answerable to the citizens, will have a real vote on this issue.

Ware has been in contact with DEQ, but since it doesn’t receive an application until it is passed by the supervisors, they don’t know any specifics, he said.

Since County Waste of Virginia does not have a landfill currently in Virginia, there is also no track record on them.

Ware pointed out that landfills permitted in Virginia must follow the Virginia Waste Management Act and the accompanying Virginia Solid Waste Management regulations. The permit comes directly from the DEQ director. The landfill also must follow federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act requirements.

He walked the crowd through the application process the landfill would have to meet, which includes public outreach, determining site suitability, submitting information about design and operations, financial assurance, and public hearings on the draft permit.

Ware pointed out that in his capacity, he does not have a vote on this issue, but after reviewing the information and the situation, he has taken a position that this landfill does not fit in with the area, whether it is the traffic load on the roads or the possibility of taking in trash from out of state.

Sturtevant talked both about the need for neighborliness between counties and the danger on the road.

He specifically mentioned an accident in March 2017 that saw two young cousins fatally struck by a fully loaded tractor trailer carrying 75,000 pounds of mulch that was unable to stop when they darted out onto Route 15 in Buckingham County. Like Route 60, that road also had a 55 mph speed limit.

Kim Hymel, who represents District 5 on the Powhatan County School Board, spoke as an individual member of the board. She shared some Powhatan school bus facts. There are approximately 100 bus stops on Route 60 in Powhatan County and 50 to 100 bus stops on Route 522 in Powhatan. They operate from 6 to 9 a.m. and then again from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, September to June, she said. “At 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and then again from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., almost every bus in our 75 bus fleet travels on Route 60 at some point between these times,�

Hymel said.

Moving forward Tucker walked the crowd through the timeline as the public has understood it to unfold as they were made aware what was happening. He pointed out that on June 25, the same night the planning commission in Cumberland was scheduled to vote on its recommendation to the board of supervisors there, he will be introducing the resolution to the Powhatan board for possible passage. The resolution says the Powhatan board respects Cumberland’s “sovereignty and unilateral right to make land use decisions within their respective jurisdictions,� but in light of the public safety hazards posed by hundreds of dump trucks traversing Route 60 in Powhatan, the Powhatan board respectfully asks them to deny Green Ridge’s rezoning and conditional use permit applications.

After all the elected officials had spoken, Tucker opened the floor to members of the public to speak and offer their input. In all, 20 people spoke, offering a range of facts, opinions, and stories.

Some of the topics they touched on included: Goochland County’s school bus numbers on Route 522; the petition for a referendum currently working to get signatures; the noise pollution that will disturb the lives of residents on Route 60 and around the landfill; the risk of water contamination; the cost to taxpayers regardless of whether it is state or local dollars that will be needed to fix deteriorating roads; the threat of accidents because of the increased number of trucks on the road; the sheer volume that would come to rest forever in Cumberland County; the risk of landfill fires; pest problems associated with dumps; risk that local fire departments will be slowed by traffic when responding to calls; the question of whether it is even legal that a new landfill could be built; questioning if the trucks will be inspected closely to make sure prohibited materials will be coming in; what might happen if County Waste of Virginia ever sold its landfill; and the real need to gather support to stand together in this fight.

Tucker also handed out a sheet listing actions residents can take to oppose the landfill, including writing letters to DEQ, VDOT, newspapers, and their elected officials; speaking at public meetings; organizing a coalition; recruiting neighbors for support, and reaching out to other neighboring counties.

PEMBERTON Continued from pg. 1

‘from-here,’ people get here and they love it.

People in the building are very vested and love it.

We lose one to a bigger locality once in a while for a bigger paycheck, but people come here and they love it,” she said.

Pemberton said she has been inundated with memories as she began the arduous task of cleaning out her office, whether it was 10 years worth of notes from the Virginia League of Social Services Executives, a heaping stack of conference nametags, or a Betty Boop collection that has grown ever larger through the years through no effort of Pemberton. A simple purchase of a Betty Boop keychain years ago sparked one of her sisters to give her a few Betty Boop gifts. The collection continued to grow as people saw it and made their own contributions.

“I have been informed by my co-workers that the Betty Boop stuff has to be the last to go and I really don’t know what I am going to do with it.

Every single piece was given to me. I didn’t buy any of them or pick any of them for myself,” Pemberton said.

Pemberton is making room for the new director, Sharon Rochelle, who begins today, June 27. She was hired from Erie County in New York and comes to Powhatan with an impressive resume, Pemberton said.

“I wanted personally for the new person to be someone who wanted to

be here and who would appreciate that this is a really nice place to be and these are good people. I just got the impression she is not from Virginia but she has been to Virginia many times. She is excited about the history and the opportunity to visit all the historical places,” Pemberton said.

High praise Many others were only too eager to return the compliment of Pemberton’s high praise. Sharon Bartley, finance manager, said Pemberton had only been in her job in Powhatan a week when Bartley’s father passed away.

“She drove three hours to pay respects to me and my family. We had already begun to connect on a professional level, but at that moment, there was a connection on a personal level. That meant more to me than she’ll ever know,” Bartley said. “Since then, she has lead, guided, supported, cheered us every single second. Her wit and charm are only two of the many reasons we enjoy coming to work.

She’s an amazing person to work for and with, but most importantly, she’s become a true friend to me. I will truly miss her.”

Dawna Minton, benefits program specialist, said that Pemberton has proven it doesn’t take a loud voice to accomplish tremendous things. Pemberton has been dedicated to the Powhatan community, staff and customers, she said.

“Her tireless effort

serving on countless committees and boards contributed to further benefiting not only the local level but, also state level. Cathy’s passion and hard work have been a positive impact on us all,” Minton said. “I appreciate her friendship over the years and hope her retirement brings wonderful things. She will be greatly missed.”

Powhatan County Board of Supervisors Chairman Carson Tucker was part of the panel that hired Pemberton and was chairman of the social services board of directors for five years. In that time, what impressed him most about Pemberton was her even keel style of managing and her willingness to bend over backwards to be part of the Powhatan County management team under county administrators Pat Weiler and Ted Voorhees, he said. She was a full-fledged member of the team, always eager to be part of the team and to participate in good faith with everyone else to try to run the county in good faith.

“From a perspective of director of social services, she impressed me on a continuing basis by her competence, her willingness to make decisions, including those things that are not pleasant to make, her empathy, her approachability and her concern for all her staff and the people they serve in our community,” Tucker said. “She was always there, always available, always listened, knew the laws about social services inside and out and all the various

programs they run.”

The Rev. Dr. Gregory Beechaum Sr., pastor of Little Zion Baptist Church, said he has enjoyed working with Pemberton, who has been a good friend to him personally and through the church. He met her through Juan Hardy, a church member, when Pemberton heard about the church’s efforts to start the Responsible Father and Family Program and wanted to see if they would partner with social services.

Pemberton is a driving force in bringing people and organizations together to learn what they were all doing, he said. She helped show that they were one community not several communities in one area.

“I think that will be her legacy. She is awesome at bringing people to the table, looking at their strengths and allowing others to use their strength so we can get the best out of the whole county. She has brought the best out of the whole county because she has brought us to the table to discuss things we wouldn’t normally discuss,” Beechaum said.

A long, varied career For Pemberton, it is hard to believe 34 years with social services are coming to a close, at least with a full-time position.

She has already been asked about consulting work, and she has pet programs that she remains passionate about promoting, so doing something with those is not out of the question.

Pemberton started with social services in the City of Richmond in 1974, working there eight years and leaving as

an eligibility supervisor.

She stayed home with her children for 10 years and then went back to working for the city.

Through the years, she worked in a variety of capacities in the department, including as a specialist with the state energy program; in the state office food stamp program as a policy consultant; at the VCU School of Social Work as a grants coordinator and then curriculum developer; and as the director of the Essex County office for two years. That was the job she left to come to Powhatan to work.

For the last four years, she was president of the Virginia League of Social Services Executives, a professional organization made up of the heads of city and county social services agencies across the state of Virginia. She said she will not miss testifying in front of the General Assembly in that capacity but still appreciated the role.

“Overall, being a local director, I have never had the same day twice. That appeals to me. Just the opportunities I’ve had to meet people, be involved in legislation. Just to be able to impact something what is going to affect people all over the state is really interesting,” she said.

In Powhatan, Pemberton supervised 18 programs, including four that are not found in every agency: domestic violence, community action, Children’s Services Act and VJCCCA grant – community juvenile officer.

About two years ago, a colleague convinced her to go to a workshop on a book called “Bridges Out of Poverty” by Ruby Payne. The book

gives a deeper understanding of the challenges and strengths of those living in poverty to help agencies partner with them to create opportunities for success.

“At that point I had been in social services for over 30 years. It was the first thing I ever really learned that made the problem of poverty understandable to me,” she said.

“I think as a system we’ve never really addressed it from the right direction.

We’ve got programs in place that are safety net programs, but as a system we do so little from the preventative side. Honestly, most people are poor because their parents were poor. Until we find a way to help people lift up, we will always have to be dealing with it.”

Pemberton became certified to lead the workshops on the book and hopes to keep doing that after retirement because she is fascinated by the topic. She also has had inquiries from colleagues about contract or consulting work she is going to consider.

Personally, Pemberton said she has a few trips lined up to New England, the beach and Ireland.

She is already a volunteer at St. Mary’s Hospital and will continue to do that as well as volunteer at the schools of her three grandchildren.

One of the new adventures she is taking on is becoming a docent and giving tours at the Governor’s Mansion. She said she loves old houses and talking to people, so when she learned about the opportunity, it really appealed.

Life is hard but you don’t have to do it alone

By Laura McFarland News Editor

G

rowing up in Houston, Texas, my family lived in a variety of areas, some nicer than others.

One was a good neighbor, but it definitely had its problems. And the fact that we had burglar bars on the windows and in front of the door, while it didn’t mean much to me at the time, says a lot to me now.

My memories of that neighborhood are a mixture of good and bad, just like life. I remember riding my bike up and down the streets with friends. I remember having my first kiss with a neighborhood boy. I remember getting in trouble with my mom when she learned I was prank calling the house of a boy I liked (not the same boy) and marching me down the street to apologize in person to him and his parents.

One of the more vivid moments of our years there is a night most people aren’t likely to forget. A Life Flight helicopter landed on the street in front of our house. A teenage boy a few years older than my older sisters shot himself with a gun. They couldn’t save him. The cries of his family in the night still haunt me.

A year ago on June 25, my sister told us that one of her young cousins on her husband’s side – a 17-yearold boy – had taken his own life. While I never met him, my sister described him as “one of those kids that cried out a lot but then when confronted by it he would say ‘I am just kidding. I would never do that.’” In fact, he told his dad about 30 minutes before he killed himself that he would never do that. He did. He would have graduated high school this year, just like my nephew.

His family is still so distraught they can’t hold a memorial service.

There are more stories of people I knew or who were known by a friend or family member. Some were decades ago and still leave a scar. Some are too fresh and the pain is more than their loved ones can probably fathom or comprehend at this moment.

With recent celebrity suicides like Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain splashed all over the news, I have noticed an increasing number of notices on social media telling people to talk someone and seek help.

Many list the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline phone number, which I also will do – 1-800-273-8255.

The website is www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

I’m not listing this information or writing this column as part of a trend. I’m doing it because you never know when it will be seen by the right person – someone struggling with grief, depression, bullying, abuse, feelings of isolation – and hopefully make them pause.

I’m doing it because I’ve seen people of all ages struggle to understand why someone they loved so much chose not to stay.

In addition to promoting the hotline and other resources, Lifeline’s website promotes a campaign called #BeThe1To, which includes five steps for communicating with someone who may be suicidal are supported by evidence in the field of suicide prevention.

The campaign’s website, www.bethe1to.com/bethe1to-steps-evidence/, has more detail on each of these steps, and I recommend taking a look, but here is a condensed version.

Ask – Asking the question “Are you thinking about suicide?” communicates that you’re open to speaking about suicide in a non-judgmental and supportive way. It can open the door for effective dialogue about their emotional pain and can allow everyone involved to see what next steps need to be taken. The flip side of the “Ask” step is to “Listen.” Make sure you take their answers seriously and not to ignore them, especially if they indicate they are experiencing thoughts of suicide. Listening to their reasons for being in such emotional pain, as well as listening for any potential reasons they want to continue to stay alive, are both incredibly important when they are telling you what’s going on. Help them focus on their reasons for living and avoid trying to impose your reasons for them to stay alive.

Keep them safe – It’s important to find out a few things to establish immediate safety. Have they already done anything to try to kill themselves before talking with you? Does the person experiencing thoughts of suicide know how they would kill themselves? Do they have a specific detailed plan? What’s the timing for their plan? What sort of access do they have to their planned method? Knowing the answers to each of these questions can tell us a lot about the imminence

and severity of danger the person is in.

Be there – This could mean being physically present for someone, speaking with them on the phone when you can, or any other way that shows support for the person at risk. An important aspect of this step is to make sure you follow through with the ways in which you say you’ll be able to support the person. Do not commit to anything you are not willing or able to accomplish.

Help them connect – Helping someone with thoughts of suicide connect with ongoing supports (like the Lifeline) can help them establish a safety net for those moments they find themselves in a crisis. Additional components of a safety net might be connecting them with supports and resources in their communities. One way to start helping them find ways to connect is to work with them to develop a safety plan.

This can include ways for them to identify if they start to experience significant severe thoughts of suicide along with what to do in those crisis moments. A safety plan also can include a list of individuals to contact when a crisis occurs.

Follow up – After your initial contact with a person experiencing thoughts of suicide, and after you’ve connected them with the immediate support systems they need, make sure to follow up with them to see how they’re doing. Leave a message, send a text, or give them a call. The follow-up step is a great time to check in with them to see if there is more you are capable of helping with or if there are things you’ve said you would do and haven’t yet had the chance to get done for the person.

While you’re checking out Lifeline’s website, there is a link within it that is worth a look called Stories of Hope and Recovery. It is the stories of men and women who attempted suicide while struggling with any number of reasons – addiction, military trauma, sexuality, eating disorders, serious mental illness, and more – but who survived and found a reason to live.

In the words of one man who survived his suicide attempt: “I want to share this with you because life is complicated, hard and often, a constant struggle. But that doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.”

SOMETIMES, JUST BEING THERE IS ENOUGH

Continued from pg. 1

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

It had been a rough Saturday. To be honest, it had been a difficult pregnancy for my former wife as she entered the final days before delivering twins.

She suffered the entire day with what surely seemed like labor pains, but her doctor insisted that we weren’t there yet — just rest and be patient.

The hours passed agonizingly slow, but we finally decided to call it a day and hope for a better outcome tomorrow.

While Mom took a shower, I escaped to check email on the computer.

It wasn’t a scream that alerted me. It more resembled a low tone wailing. Had there been time, I would surely have placed two and two together, but reasonable thought escaped as I hurried toward the bathroom.

It didn’t take a genius to realize that what we thought were labor pains, were indeed just that, and now we were in full delivery mode. I ran for the phone and headed back to the bathroom.

Now, I’m not sure how many babies this 911 operator had delivered, but, judging by her calm advice and instruction, I’m assuming the answer is many.

She walked me through a process that seemed unreal for me, and, minutes later, my daughter Emma was wrapped in a towel and placed strategically on her mother’s stomach, umbilical cord still attached.

At the same time Emma arrived, five firemen made their way down the hall and

peered into the bathroom.

They looked relived to see the baby, safe and sound, delivered and ready for transport.

“It looks like you’ve already done all the work,” one of them said with a smile.

“Not really, she did most of it, and there’s one more on the way,” I quipped.

Their look of relief suddenly soured and they began preparing for delivery number two. Just in time, the rescue squad arrived and the firemen and I were replaced with more qualified folks who seemed to know much more than I about these things.

Standing in my underpants, I was still in sort of a state of shock from the first images I encountered in what seemed like a dream world. I can’t think of another situation in life that has found me less prepared than the first few moments of Emma’s delivery.

They whisked Emma and Mom off to the hospital, where Jack waited patiently for his entry to this world complete with delivery room and doctor.

In the matter of a few seconds, the house was empty and quiet, and I quickly dressed, grabbed a pre-packed bag for my wife, and headed for the front door and the short drive to the hospital.

It was only dumb luck that caused me to stare at a box of diapers stored neatly behind the kitchen closet door.

I rushed farther down the same hall and switched on the light to find my 2-year-old daughter standing in her crib, eyes wide open. She had obviously been awakened by all the activity but never 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

made a sound as the hurried activity took place took all around her.

I thought quickly. I’ll just take her with me to the hospital. I filled the pockets of my jeans with diapers, jammed a spare pacifier in my pocket, grabbed Sophie and we were off for the less than a mile drive to the hospital.

It was way past midnight when we arrived, and nurses had just checked in Emma and sent my wife upstairs to delivery for the encore.

I rushed in with Sophie and encountered a nurse who looked at what must have been the most disheveled looking father she’d encountered in awhile.

“You are a good dad,” she laughed.

“First you delivered your daughter and then you remembered to bring diapers.”

It was the first time I’d thought of myself actually delivering Emma. Anyone who has been in the same situation can relate and I’ve often looked at it as more of having a decent pair of hands that could handle slippery items than delivering a baby.

But, the story remains and comes to my mind on almost every Father’s Day, and reminds that being a father and not performing that one special act is what makes being a dad special.

It’s the days since, and before, that event spent with my children are the memories that last a lifetime, and the confusion and spontaneous events of that Saturday night are just a portion of a collection of special moments that make Father’s Day a blessing.

But, it’s a night I won’t forget.

Powhatan Little League 8-to-10 All-Star Dylan Eberts swings at an offering against Huguenot National in the opening round of the District V tournament at Atlee Little League on June 24.

Powhatan All-Stars gain experience in opener

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s 8-to-10 All-Star team had to wait an extra day due to the storms that hit the area on June 22 before being able to take to the field in the District V tournament at Atlee Little League.

The thunderstorms plagued the complex again on June 24, but Powhatan was able to get their opening round game in against Huguenot American.

The game did not go as Powhatan would have liked, however, as Huguenot defeated Powhatan 18-0.

“It’s unfortunate,” coach Michael

Keeler said. “We had some runners on base and we got some hits and walks in there. But, we couldn’t get on the scoreboard. They had some good pitching and some good pitchers that gave us a bit of trouble. But, the kids did well.”

Aaron Keeler led the game off with a walk and advanced to third on two separate wild pitches.

But, the chance fell by the wayside as Tyler Bilthuis and Dylan Eberts both grounded out to first base, while Nathan Butler flew out to second base.

Powhatan was able to get two quick outs in the bottom of the first inning, but Huguenot got a foothold in the inning

with a two-out walk.

The next hitter knocked in a run with an RBI double, which was followed by an RBI single to make it 2-0 Huguenot.

Powhatan was able to get out of the inning with a pop-up to pitcher Matthew Fountain.

In the second inning, Powhatan had a chance to put some runs on the board.

Evan Eberts worked a leadoff walk and eventually advanced to third on two wild pitches.

Maxwell Pestka and Fountain struck out in back-to-back at-bats, but Zachary Bilthu and Seth Hull worked two-out walks to load the bases.

In the next at-bat, Keeler sent a ground ball to first base and the Huguenot defender bobbled the ball, but was able to gather it up and tag first to end the frame and the chance for Powhatan.

Huguenot’s offense continued to put runners on base in the second inning.

A walk and a single put two runners on for Huguenot, which was followed by an RBI single and a sacrifice fly, which made it 4-0 Huguenot.

A wild pitch scored two runs in the inning and Huguenot led 6-0.

It was a bittersweet tournament for Powhatan’s Ashley Van Buskirk at River City Sportsplex on June 14-16.

While Van Buskirk had the chance to play against lacrosse teams from around the country in the IWLCA Champions Cup showcase in Chesterfield, it was the last time she donned the blue-and-orange of Storm Elite.

“It’s super touching,” she said. “It was our last first game. We’re all together and we’re supportive of each other, no matter where we’re going after this.”

“I’m just so thankful for it,” she said.

“They’ve really elevated my level of play and respect for the game. Everything I have and know I can thank Storm for.”

Storm Elite finished 3-1 in the tournament and the record was tied for the second-best mark in their division.

On June 15, Storm narrowly defeated Xtreme 2019 White 8-7.

Then, also on June 15, Quaker City 2019 got the best of Storm in a 14-6 final.

Powhatan Youth Athletic Association All-Star Reigha Ghiatis slides safely home during the first inning of the Ponytails All-Stars game against Buckingham at Turner Field on June 23.

PYAA Ponytails fall in district doubleheader

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

In the second game of a doubleheader in the Dixie Softball District 5 tournament at Turner Field on June 23, the Powhatan Athletic Association Ponytail All-Stars looked like a different team on the field.

After a loss in the first game against Amelia, Powhatan’s offense came to life and its defense was sharp against Buckingham.

But, a two-run inning in the fourth proved to be the difference as Buckingham defeated Powhatan 6-5, eliminating the All-Stars from the Ponytails tournament.

The Ponytails Division of Dixie Softball is qualified as players who are 12-years-old and younger.

“I am so proud of all of these girls,” head coach Beverley Bailey said.

“They’re fighters. They kept their heads up and fought all the way to the end. I’m really proud of them.”

Powhatan got off to a good start on defense, as a pop-up to pitcher Adrianna Flippen was caught and thrown to first for a quick and inning-ending double play.

Likewise, Powhatan was hot with the bats as

well in the first inning.

Emily Reimondo reached as she was hit by a pitch, stole second and reached third on a wild pitch. She would score soon thereafter to make it 1-0 Powhatan.

Reigha Ghiatis reached on a walk, stole second and scored on a wild pitch for the second run of the game.

Flippen also reached on a walk and scored when Maggie Watson singled through the middle of the infield for a 3-0 Powhatan lead.

Watson reached third on a wild pitch and scored on another wild pitch to make it 4-0 Powhatan.

Buckingham wasn’t held down for long, however, as they scored three runs in the top of the second inning. Two were scored on a wild pitch and a passed ball, while another scored on an error.

After Powhatan went down in order in the second inning, Buckingham tied the game in the top of the third.

Powhatan retook the lead in the bottom of the frame after Ghiatis reached on a walk and advanced to third on a stolen base and a wild pitch.

She scored when Watson singled to the outfield, making it a 5-4 game.

But, Buckingham scored two runs in the fourth, one on an error and another on a fielder’s choice to pull ahead 6-5.

Powhatan had a few chances to push across the would-be tying run, or possibly game-winning run.

Powhatan’s Skyler Galderise walked in the bottom of the fourth and reached third on a stolen base and a groundball.

But, back-to-back strikeouts stranded her there.

In the bottom of the sixth, Watson and Galderise both worked walks, but both were stranded on second and first, respectively in the frame as the game ended.

While the second game’s outcome didn’t go the way Powhatan wanted, it was a marked difference than the first game of the day.

Powhatan opened against Amelia and fell 15-0 in four innings due to the slaughter rule.

Amelia scored five runs in the bottom of the first and then 10 in the second.

Powhatan had just two batters reach base in the loss, when Galderise walked in the third and Ghiatis singled in the fourth.

“We played a tough

Amelia team,” Bailey said. “We had a rough start getting going. The weather hasn’t been our friend for practices recently, so we took some time to get going.”

Bailey said that the team has enjoyed their time together as an All-

Star team.

“We’ve had a great season with these girls,” she said. “We didn’t have a lot of girls playing Ponytails this year. They did a wonderful job. They came together and played together really well. They have great attitudes…they

have great spirits and I expect great things from them in the future.”

Reimondo, Ghiatis, Flippen, Watson, Galderise, Lily Marshall, Charleigh Tomlin, Emily Allen, Madison Jamerson and Maddy Matko comprised the roster.

Roundup: PLL Senior All-Stars delayed, venue changed for District V tournament

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The rain and thunderstoms that hit the area on June 22-24 was not beneficial to the schedule that the District V tournament had set up.

Powhatan Little League’s Senior All-Stars were originally scheduled to begin the District V tournament at Atlee Little League on June 23.

However, due to the

Amelia comes back to defeat PYAA Darlings Sports Editor

The Darlings team for the Powhatan Youth Athletic Association All-Stars learned a valuable lesson after the June 22 openinground game against Amelia in the District 5 tournament.

Coach Alyssa Winters told her team about protecting a lead.

“We had a big lead early on and I think we got a bit too comfortable,” she said. “I think that was a good lesson for these girls.

I told them in the outfield that you can be loose, you can be comfortable and you have fun when you

LACROSSE Continued from pg.1

Buskirk has gleaned quite a bit about the game and has brought that information back with her to the practice and games for the growing Powhatan girls lacrosse program, the most poignant of which is confidence. “(Confidence) is number one,” she said. “Half of it is just acting like you know what to do. The other half, you’ll pick up along the way. It’s a very (improvisational) game.

So, if you learn to adjust and overcome…taking that tenacity to Powhatan is something that I’m trying to do.”

That tenacity certainly translated to the field this season for the Indians.

Powhatan’s girls lacrosse team went 7-7 during the regular season and fell to Patrick Henry in the regional playoffs 13-5.

During the season, the Indians recorded a threegame win streak with wins over Charlottesville, Thomas Dale and Matoaca.

While some losses

have a big lead. But, you still need to finish the game and the get those outs and not let them score runs so you can get the win in the column.”

Powhatan led 6-1 at one point in the game, but fell 8-7 on a walk-off single by Amelia in the first round of tournament play.

In the first inning, Lilly Barlow and Jaelynn Jones both reached base and would come around to score to make it 2-0 Powhatan.

After Amelia scored one run in the bottom of the first and a subsequent quiet second inning, Powhatan posted four runs in the third inning.

Jones, Nala Batten, Kensley Blaska and Madison Fletcher all reached and would make it around safely to score, upping the Powhatan lead to 6-1.

Powhatan held Amelia to no runs in the third inning, but Amelia got on the board in the fourth, scoring four runs and making it a 6-5 game.

Blaska reached base on a hit and an error in the fifth inning with two outs.

Fletcher knocked Blaska in to make it 7-5.

Powhatan had the chance to add more runs in the inning, as Fletcher advanced to third base after an infield single off the bat of Jillian Crowder, but a

were lopsided this year as the team gains experience, the Indians battled with Monacan on March 26 in a 13-12 final that favored the Chiefs.

Van Buskirk said that she’s excited to see the progress the team has made.

“I’m really proud of the team,” she said. “The improvement across the board was just awesome.”

She said that the cohesion among the players was one huge difference on the team this year.

“I would do anything for those girls,” she said.

“The leadership under Laura Camp was just amazing. We went from ‘’oh, we won, whatever,’ to ‘we’re going go out there and take them.’ We took down a lot teams that we weren’t supposed to.”

Van Buskirk, along with Reagan Thomas, were both honored as first-team all-region selections, an honor with Van Buskirk said was “awesome.”

“I didn’t expect it,” she said. “When I got the news, I was really happy.”

While two seniors will

graduate from the 2018 team, the 2019 team is flush with juniors, as well as sophomores with another year of experience under their belts.

Van Buskirk said that she’s excited for the future of the Indians lacrosse team.

“I’m really hoping it’s going to keep evolving and we get better and better,” she said. “I don’t want a stacked team, so I’m really trying to get younger girls to come and play. Hopefully, we’ll have some younger playFILE PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN ers on the team.”

strikeout ending the inning and the opportunity to add to the lead.

Overall, Winters was happy with how the team was hitting the ball.

“They were hitting the ball really well,” she said.

“It’s contagious. After one hits, they keep on hitting.

They’re awesome girls to be around.”

Amelia started the bottom of the fifth inning off with a single, followed by a strikeout. Another single put two runners on with one out.

Powhatan inched closer with a strikeout for the second out of the inning.

The next Amelia batter reached safely and scored

a run in the process to make it 7-6.

Then, Amelia put a hit right up the middle into outfield, which scored two runs for a walk-off final of 8-7.

This All-Star team was brought together from two separate teams from the Darlings division in the regular season, so they were all fairly familiar with each other.

“Some of the girls played for me in the regular season, some played for another coach,” Winters said. “They’re all pretty familiar with each other and have gotten to know each other over the past few months.”

Madie Chaffins, Barlow, Jones, Batten, Blaska, Fletcher, Crowder, Lily Barr, Chloe Proffitt, Jessie McArtan and Haden McQuiddy made up the roster of the All-Star team.

Winters told the team to shake off the loss to Amelia and come out “ready to play” on June 25 in their consolation bracket game.

Unfortunately for Powhatan, the All-Stars were on the wrong end of another close game as the team fell 11-10 to Goochland in the lower bracket of the Darlings tournament and were eliminated from contention.

Keeler said. “The other team just hit the ball really well. Our pitchers were throwing strikes and we fielded the ball pretty well. They just hit a lot and got around the bases.

It just wasn’t meant to be.”

Before the third inning was able to get underway, the first of the weather delays came as thunder and lightning caused the umpires to halt play and send players and fans for shelter.

The delay lasted just past the obligatory 30 minutes for weather prior to the game restarting.

Powhatan went down in order in the top of the third inning, and just barely into the bottom of the third inning, the skies opened up with rain and more thunder and the game stopped once again.

While the two rain delays could have been a detriment to the team with the start and stop flow of the game, Keeler said that it was actually beneficial for the coaching staff.

“We would have preferred not to have them,” he said. “It actually gave us coaches a little time to think about what was coming up next. I don’t think it affected the players, though.”

The game restarted once again about 30 minutes later in the bottom of the third and Huguenot continued to pad their lead.

The game ended after the fourth inning in an 18-0 final.

While the game did not go in Powhatan’s favor, Keeler said that it was a good first experience in the tournament for both the coaches and the players.

“Overall, we’re a young team and it was a learning experience,” he said. “For me, all three of us coaches, it’s the first time coaching in this tournament. It was good experience, keeping up with the batters, substitutions, pitch counts, trying to plan for the next game and seeing when the next game would be. It helped me prepare for the next one.”

Powhatan’s loss dropped the team to the consolation bracket, where they faced Huguenot National on June 25.

That game occurred past the deadline for this edition of the Powhatan Today.

Keeler said that he believed his team would be quick to put the loss to Huguenot American behind them.

“There wasn’t a single down face or anything af-

ter the game,” he said.

“The players still enjoyed it and had a good experi-

ence. We certainly wish it had turned out different, but there weren’t any

down faces or anyone being upset. It’s a good team and a good group of kids.”
