Cumberland supervisors approve landfill By Laura McFarland News Editor

UMBERLAND – The Cumberland County Board of Supervisors decided in a split vote in the early hours of Friday, June 29 to approve rezoning and conditional use permit applications for a landfill proposed to be built in the county off of Route 60 near the Powhatan County border. These and two other votes came in quick succession near the end of a roughly six-hour meeting that started at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 28 and ended a little after 1 a.m. the next day. All four of the motions the board voted on drew split votes, but the makeup of the votes PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND changed with the different issues.

The rezoning and CUP were approved for County Waste of Virginia’s proposal to build Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility, allowing for the design, construction, and operation of the landfill as well as a convenience center and recycling facility. On both of these issues, the board voted 3-2 in favor of approving the applications. Voting in favor of the applications were William F. Osl Jr., who represents District 1; David Menhard, District 4, and Parker Wheeler, District 5. Chairman Kevin Ingle, District 3, and Lloyd Banks Jr., District 2, voted against them. With those issues decided, Meinhard then made a motion that the board adopt a policy that would require a minimum of 25 percent and up to a maximum of 50 percent of the tipping fees revenue from the landfill be see APPROVES, pg. 5

CUMBERLAND – The Cumberland County Planning Commission sent a mixed message Monday in its recommendations to the county’s board of supervisors regarding a landfill being proposed in Cumberland County near the Powhatan County border. During the planning commission’s meeting on Monday, June 25 –the third in as many weeks the commission held on this issue – the members voted on two issues 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.

During the seventh day of the James River Batteau Festival, boat crews try to help each other to shore at Cartersville Landing in swift water conditions.

Festival celebrates 33 years on the James By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The 33rd annual James River Batteau Festival wasn’t all smooth sailing for the 19 boats that participated, but organizers say overall it was a strong year with a good finish. Mostly good weather, manageable river levels and enthusiastic participants were the hallmark of this year’s eight-day festival, which launched from Lynchburg on June 16 and ended on June 23 at Maiden’s Landing in Powhatan, said Andrew Shaw, chairman of the festival. While many people might define a day by the temperatures or if it is rainy or sunny, participants in the festival judge their day by the river levels. At the outset of the 120-mile journey down the James River, the water was at a great level, Shaw said. “We get whatever the James gives us every year. That can be extremely low and difficult. That can be so high that it is a weeklong float with no real meaningful interruption. This was a great balance,” he said. “There was enough water in the river where people weren’t really struggling to get down. It was also low enough that you really had to be paying attention to the rapids in order to not hit the rocks. It just was a really fun level to run the river at.” Of course, heavy rains mid week changed that, bringing the water level up significantly to create a see BATTEAU, pg. 10

Supervisors approve cohesive architectural standards plan By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors took a step closer last week toward its goals of improving the look and feel of the county as it continues to develop. During the board’s meeting on Monday, June 25, the four supervisors present voted unanimously to approve an amendment to the zoning ordinance that would apply the same architectural and development standards to institutional, commercial, and mixed-use development countywide instead of only ones occurring in certain zoning districts. Angie Cabell, District 3, was not present to vote. Previously, institutional, commercial, and mixed-use development within Village Growth Area Districts had to adhere to more detailed architectural and development standards than new development taking place within Transition Base Districts, according to Andrew Pompei, director of planning. The amendment was recommended unanimously by the planning commission to address concerns the form and appearance of commercial development in Powhatan County, especially along Route 60, he said. “These standards address building color; building materials; building orientation and configuration; façade articulation; roof design; parking location; and the location of loading, service, and equipment areas,” Pompei said. The amendment takes the standards from being addressed in different part of the zoning ordinance regarding each issue to having one combined section that applies to all, Pompei said. Most of the requirements already reflect existing standards in one or two of those sections, but there are a few new requirements that haven’t applied anywhere in the county so far. Those new requirements are: Buildings on corner lots shall include a prominent architectural feature of greater height than the rest of the roof, such as a tower or similar feature, at the corner of the building closest to the intersection. This change is intended to ensure that new buildings relate to adjacent intersections and create attractive gateways to the community. For all commercial and mixed-use development, a Development Design Pattern Book must be submitted to the planning commission for review and approval prior to approval of any site plan within the project. This change is intended to ensure that new commercial development is compatible with surrounding properties and recommendations made in the 2010 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan. At least 70 percent of building facades visible from existing or planned roadways must be constructed of wood, brick, stone, and/ or other materials with a similar appearance, durability, and quality. No more than 30% of building facades visible from existing or planned roadways may be covered with stucco or decorative block. This change is intended to ensure that materials used on new buildings are compatible with existing buildings and reflect materials historically used in Powhatan County.

When asked by Chairman Carson Tucker, District 5, about the downsides of the amendment, Pompei noted it does place greater standards on the development community, which may or may not be a downside. However, the only issue he said could be “a little more onerous than what similar localities have implemented” was the Development Design Pattern Book for every single commercial development rather than just multi-building projects, where it would be used to ensure cohesive designs. David Williams, District 1, said he spoke with several planning commissioners and the reason they wanted that change because a commercial development might have buildings next to each other or across the street from each other with a certain design. With several single dwelling commercial uses coming in, “if you didn’t have something as a guide for them to go by, you could end up maybe defeating what you are trying to accomplish with the zoning change that you are recommending tonight.” Larry Nordvig, District 2, who has been a strong proponent of taking action on this issue in the last year, said he was pleased to see the amendment. He said it would go a long way toward giving a positive outlook on the county both to the residents that call Powhatan home and to future businesses or potential residents as they drive through the area. The board had a discussion on some of the particulars of the amendment, but the most debated point, which was raised by Bill Melton, District 4, was the issue of the maximum building size in Village Center (VC) and Village Center Planned Development (VC-PD) not being allowed to exceed 45,000 square feet. Melton worried about limiting the county’s options in the future. After a bit of discussion, the board decided to approve the amendment with the 45,000-squarefoot limit but add that a proposed bigger size could be considered for approval with a conditional use permit. During a public hearing on the amendment, Woody Coffer of Powhatan asked the board to reconsider the parking allowed in front of a building; wanted to see the design book; and wondered what the appeals process would be for applicants who disagree with the planning commission. Williams suggested staff looking at these and other issues and come back with any necessary refinements in the future but not holding up the vote on June 25.The four men then voted unanimously to approve the amendment. During the public comment period at the beginning of the meeting, Don Silberbauer of Powhatan said the amendment would begin to create a character in Powhatan that residents have been requesting for a long time but “has so far been absent in commercial development.” “Impressions are very, very important for both visitors and residents alike and we deserve more than just fast and cheap architecture,” he said, urging the board to pass the amendment.

Victoria Ronnau of Powhatan speaks on June 28 to the Cumberland supervisors.

Citizens speak out about landfill By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – During the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors meeting that stretched from June 28 to 29, back-to-back public hearings were held for first the rezoning application and then the conditional use permit regarding County Waste of Virginia’s proposal to build Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility. The rezoning hearing drew 44 comments and then the CUP application drew 34 comments. Several more were signed up for the CUP public hearing but had already left when their names were called to speak, many of them after midnight. Because of the sheer volume of comments made, here are only some of the points made: Beverly Speas of Cumberland asked about the future of the three transfer stations in the county and said that even if Green Ridge would allow citizens to dispose of waste there for free, it is too long of a drive for many citizens in the county. She was also one of many citizens who asked supervisors repeatedly not to rush the issue of the landfill. “I am asking one thing from each of you: SLOW DOWN! Apparently you’ve been working on this for a year. We’ve had a month. Please slow this process down. Citizens have been kept in the dark for too long. we don’t have answers to most of our questions.” Christopher Salerno of Powhatan talked about the VDOT traffic impact analysis, saying it doesn’t address the situation on Route 60, especially at night when visibility is low and there are unforeseen circumstances such as deer running into the road. Regarding health risks, he talked about the landfill liner and doubting it will hold. He said he plans to live in the county a long time, and if the liner tears sometime in the landfill’s future, there is no way to “gauge whether what has been proffered in host fees is sufficient to pay for and mitigate the cost in people’s health should the water supply be poisoned.” He was also one of many who talked about the possible contamination of Muddy Creek and by extension the James River and beyond. Carson Tucker, chairman of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors, spoke for his board in addressing their concerns about safety on Route 60 and respectfully asking the Cumberland board not to approve the landfill. He cited a Route 60 Corridor Study from Maidens Road in Powhatan to the Cumberland line done in August 2016 at their request because of concerns about Route 60. The piece from Ballsville Road to Ridge Road is ranked 78th in fatalities and accidents in the top 100 pieces of road 2 miles long or shorter from Hanover to the North Carolina border. Christal Schools of Cumberland touched on a number of topics for herself and Ragnar Gunnarsson of Cumberland, who could not be at the meeting. She reeled off several issues, saying there are

wells within .3 miles of the landfill that need to be benchmarked; does not agree landfill complies with the comprehensive plan, a large document that takes many pages to spell out some zoning uses for the good of the county but barely mentions landfills; County Waste targeted Cumberland; the supervisors had many months while the citizens have had one month to digest information; Comoria Crews-Brown of Cumberland was displeased with how long the board has known about the landfill and kept it and the accompanying data from citizens. She said the supervisors were ignoring the safety of citizens because all you see is a “carrot being waved in front of you for $2.7 million.” She pointed out that a “carrot will rot.” Shelly Riddle of Cumberland said she went door to door in District 4 and her neighbors had no clue about the landfill. She was one of many who asked the board to rely on the great minds in the community to come up with better ideas to generate revenue than a landfill. Jacob Davis of Cumberland was the first to raise the issue of Green Ridge controlling odor by putting fly ash on the landfill and the air quality being hurt as a result. Paula Duncan of Powhatan talked about the dangers of water contamination and undesirable vermin and birds that would be attracted by a landfill. She also worried about the danger of the trucks on the road, especially on young drivers. Patrick Born said he didn’t trust the precautions put in place to prevent groundwater contamination, one of many citizens who expressed concern about the safety of wells. He also wondered how quickly residents would be notified if a well did become contaminated. Several citizens cited evidence they had found of infractions against County Waste or lawsuits brought related to infractions and in particular made accusations against County Waste senior vice president Jerry Cifor. Bub Ronnau of Powhatan questioned the ability of the buffer trees cited in the conditional use permit to hide a the landfill when it reaches as high as 250 feet, saying they would have to plant redwoods. Several residents talked about everyday waste that is thrown away that could and would damage the liner, which was the focus of a great deal of speculation and doubt when it came to the landfill’s protection and drainage system. Artour Saakian of Cumberland cast doubt on the ability of state and federal regulations to protect citizens and said the supervisors needed a strong host agreement if they moved forward. As it is, he said it is heavily weighted in County Waste’s favor. He also showed a map of seismic activity in the area and said the landfill is in a danger zone.

Tower aims at July 20 completion By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Work is expected to be near completion soon on the new water tower being built in the Village area. The water tower has a contract substantial completion date of July 1 and a current anticipated substantial completion of July 20, which means if it comes in according to that schedule it will 19 days late, said Ramona Carter, director of public works. Work in the next few weeks will consist of yard piping (installing water lines from the well to the tank), and electrical (power for well pump, mixer and controls), she said. Final yard cleanup and fencing will be completed after the tank is online on July 20. The water will serve the joint transportation facility and new Powhatan

Middle School with nonpotable water for fire suppression. The middle school has already begun moving furniture and will occupy the building the third week in July, Ramona said. “If the tank is not online by the time the teachers occupy the building a fire watch will be required (24 hour). Costs for the fire watch services will be paid for through liquidated damages,” she said. Carter said Phoenix Tank, the contractor, can’t just be charged a penalty for being late. The county has to show the delay cost it money. So if the school doesn’t occupy until July 20 and the company gets the water tower online by then, they may not pay any liquidated damages. However, if they don’t, and the county has to pay $960 per day for fire watch, liquidated damages will be charged.

The water tower had its second of two coats of white paint applied to its exterior in June, with a giant canopy that looked like a shower curtain being raised and lowered as needed to prevent paint from coating nearby properties during the painting process, Carter said. For the time being, this is how the exterior of the tower will continue to look as painting words or a logo on the tank would be too cost prohibitive at about $22,000. That may be revisited in the future. The water tower, which has a total cost of $2,256,571, was approved by the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors as part of a significant list of projects on the county’s capital improvement program (CIP) during the fiscal year 2017 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO budget cycle.

Friends president Joanne Fico stands in front of the new Friends Little Book Shop.

Friends of library open new Little Book Shop By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Visitors to the Powhatan County Public Library hoping to bring home some extra books for keeps will have the opportunity year-round with the opening of the new Friends Little Book Shop. The Friends of the Powhatan Library is replacing its bi-annual book sales with a new little shop that will stay open in the library all year, according to Joanne Fico, president. The shop, which consists of several bookshelves and a sorting area behind them for volunteers, opened in June in a corner near the checkout desk. The shop will replace the Friends’ biggest fundraisers, the book sales that took place over three days in the spring and fall. But rather than a big influx of revenue with the sales, Fico is hoping the new shop will bring in steady revenue all year. “I wanted to do something that was self sustaining. The way it is set up now, we have people who come in and do the sorting. Staff collects the money. It is a steady income that is not burdensome on anybody,” she said. It also has the benefit of being a new model that will benefit more people all year round, she added. “So often when we have a book sale, someone is away or sick and couldn’t come. Then they had to wait six months for the next book sale,” Fico said. “This way all year round they can come and shop and buy what they like and not have to wait for the next big book sale.” The library had some bookshelves it was no longer going to use in the paperback section. They were custommade for the library by Goodwyn’s Lumber, so the Friends recently commissioned three more from the company to match those identically, Fico said. Because donations come in all year long, the bookcases can be updated on a regular basis, Fico said. This way visitors will have something to look at each time they visit and pick up new items for reasonable prices. Prices are similar to those found at the annual book sale: standard paperback books, 50 cents; trade paperback books, 75 cents; hardback books, $1; music CDs, $1; DVDs and books on CDs, $2; TV series DVD sets, $3; preschool and beginner reader books, 25 cents, and youth books, 50 cents. For questions or to help, contact Joanne Fico at jsfico@ aol.com or 804-598-8224.

Foundation’s website, http:// www.parkinson.org. Symptoms generally develop slowly over years, and their progression is often a bit different from one person to another due to the diversity of the disease, according to the site. The cause remains largely unknown. Although there is no cure, treatment options vary and include medications and surgery. While Parkinson’s itself is not fatal, disease complications can be serious. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rated complications from PD as the 14th cause of death in the United States.

The announcement on Facebook of Tucker’s condition was met with messages of prayers, appreciation and sadness for Tucker. In interviews after the meeting, several board members shared their thoughts. Bill Melton, District 4, said he was concerned about Tucker’s health and immediately added him to his prayer list but doesn’t doubt his ability to continue to serve on the board or as its chair. He called Tucker a “consummate professional” who wanted to make sure his fellow board members felt confident in him. If they had doubts, Tucker asked them to be honest with him

I have the utmost confidence that he will approach this challenge in his life the same way he approaches everything, and that is with dignity and doing the right thing for himself and the community… If he can’t, he will be the first one to admit it. He is very critical of himself. He is probably harder on himself than others,” Melton said. Larry Nordvig, District 2, said he was saddened to hear of Tucker’s diagnosis but added his announcement was full of grace and dignity and was shared with his fellow board members in an

Angie Cabell, District 3, who was not at the meeting on June 25, said she was saddened to learn of Tucker’s recent diagnosis. “He has my abiding support, as well as my prayers, and I look forward to continuing to work with him for the benefit of our beloved county and its citizens,” she said. “We are blessed indeed to be the beneficiary of his many

Festival full of people landing a helping hand By Laura McFarland News Editor

Watching brotherhood in action is an amazing thing. The word might not be quite right, but I can’t think of a more apropos word to describe the community I recently witnessed in action on the James River. It was mentioned before in this column that I would be undertaking a new adventure this year as the newest member of the Lady’s Slipper batteau in the James River Batteau Festival. It is an eight-day journey, and I couldn’t be there the whole time. But I planned to participate either on the boat or as part of the ground crew over several days. As it happens, a few days into the festival, the Lady’s Slipper’s leadership team realized the crew couldn’t keep up with the ongoing patches needed to keep it safely afloat. They quite rightly decided to pull out of the festival rather than press on and possibly risk both the crew and the boat if something were to happen. We plan to come back next year stronger than ever. Before this year, my involvement with the festival was limited to covering it on the days surrounding its time on the James River along the shores of Cumberland and Powhatan counties. Even last year, when the crew very graciously allowed me to come on board as

a member of the press, it was the Friday we came into Cartersville Landing. So when I decided to become a full crew member, I requested to be on the boat on the first day, when it left Lynchburg on June 16, to see all of the festivities surrounding the festival. Even without the hindsight of the boat leaving the festival early, I would be glad I chose to participate on the first day. In addition to the official sendoff with tons of people watching from the

Inner struggles run deep By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

When you reach a certain maturity in life, it seems like more people you know are departing this wonderful existence. Now, I’m quite sure the same number of people is passing away and it just seems like more of them are acquaintances or well-known folks who have been in my life for decades. I’m convinced it’s a generational effect of aging. When you’re in your 30s, most of the folks departing are someone’s grandmother, or parent, but rarely someone close to you. Of course, there are no notable exceptions, and life always deals unexpected hands to all of us. With all of that said, it seems I hear about more and more deaths of friends or people who inspired my generation. The latest news that hit close to home was the passing of Charles Krauthammer, a Pulitzer-decorated journalist and regular contributor on Fox News. Krauthammer gained the respect and admiration of his colleagues largely due to his enormous dedication to a brand of journalism rarely seen on television today. His reasoned, almost scientific, approach to the issues of the day made his take on events significant, even to those of us who often disagreed with his expressed views. But, it was Krauthammer’s life story that offered inspiration to anyone who was lucky enough to know it. The Canadian transplant exceeded in everything he pursued, up to and after the moment a tragic accident paralyzed him for life. While attending Harvard Medical School, Krauthammer and a friend cut class one morning and stopped by the

campus pool for a quick swim. A misplaced dive changed Krauthammer’s life immediately. He finished Harvard near the top of his class, on time despite the serious injury and hours of rehabilitation. Krauthammer quickly realized that a career in medicine was not for him, moved to Washington, D.C., and began a lifelong love affair with journalism and politics. There are a thousand lessons one could learn from Charles Krauthammer and his journey, but his tenacity and determination wouldn’t be a bad place to begin. Many who watched him on television never knew of his disability, and while cruel commentators took cheap shots at his sometimes-stuttered speech, a direct result of his spinal cord injury, Krauthammer delivered his usual thoughtful and relevant commentary minus the increased decibel levels often displayed by those seated beside him. His colleagues noted his desire to be judged with his peers, and he refused and disdained any attempt to give him the benefit of the doubt due to his disability. He bravely issued a public letter two weeks ago stating his declining condition and accepting a fate that awaits us all, a final act of courage by a courageous man who lived an extraordinary life and left us much too soon. Do words count? Krauthammer proved that they do and his intellect, insight and compassion are evident in every one he wrote. We are fortunate to have those words preserved for future generations to benefit and offer see STRUGGLES pg. 9

shore, the river around the batteau was awash with the myriad colors of the kayaks and canoes that tag along. Some travel the whole week, while others participate only for a day or two. Some are content to sit back and watch, while many of them interact with the batteau crews along the way. Judging from a river map we use and accounts from other crew members, the first day of the festival is neither the hardest nor the easiest of the eight days

on the river. If the river is moving steadily enough and the water level is sufficient, much of the time is spent floating along and enjoying the peace, relaxation and lack of rush simply referred to as “river time.” An official guide to the festival called “The James River Batteau Festival Trail” was created by the Virginia Canals and Navigations Society River Atlas Project and is sold at the festival every year. A laminated copy also is found on many of the boats. The very informational map includes notes about different features along the route, such as hazards, sights to look out for and helping you track how far you have come. The most notable feature on Day 1 is crossing Joshua Falls Dam, which the map says remains dangerous. “Parts of stone dam still in place. Scout carefully; the main channel is narrow to right of center.” When the Lady’s Slipper tried to navigate its way through, it unfortunately became stuck on rocks. Imagine a long wooden boat – at least 40 feet in length and weighing more than a ton – stuck on a shelf of rocks and unable to move forward or backward. The crew tried to free it in various ways that saw us trying to push off the rocks and shift the weight on the boat around, all to no see HELPING HAND, pg. 9

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Cumberland landfill proposal is misguided Dear Editor, Cumberland County’s government is consistent if nothing else - consistently misguided. A word to the wise in Cumberland - I oppose this landfill proposal and urge the commission and board to seek a casino instead. The reason for seeking the first landfill was more than $40 million in debt. The new school cost $59 million. That debt must still be there and growing daily and is, in my opinion, the reason for seeking another landfill. There are better options. Which would you rather see happen in Cumberland and also relative to Powhatan – a brand new casino or this landfill project? I think I know what Cumberland and Powhatan would prefer - more money and less trash trucks. Cumberland is both responsible to its citizens and its neighbors to the east - we are in fact all our brother’s keeper. Just a wild and crazy idea - but maybe

not so crazy. Just do your jobs and do them better. Cumberland’s board and citizens would likely be thrilled to have a casino. There is no money for places like Cumberland, and that’s why they get dumped on. Rural places get landfills, prisons, and hog farms. Maybe that script should change and you all need to start changing it and write a better one for our collective futures. The landfill script is getting old and tired and like the ghost from a wishing well. Count them - one, two, three proposals in the last 30 years? You should kill this one before we kill it again for you. If you need money for the county think bigger and better. Again, there are better options. Small and parochial should not be your future - it is easy to tend to be insular, but we should not be provincial or narrow minded. Kevin Halligan Cumberland/Powhatan United Powhatan County

Food Pantry grateful for local support Dear Editor, There has recently been an outpouring of support and donations to our Powhatan Food Pantry. We have been overwhelmed by your generosity and want to express our sincere gratitude to all of you who helped provide food and financial support in order to help our less fortunate neighbors. It is difficult to mention all of you but we want to include the following: The Mike Walter Foundation for its sizeable donation: South Creek Food Lion associate David Stanley for 126 cases of food; Boy Scout Troop 832, which collected food throughout the county and delivered it to the Food Pantry; the Girl Scouts, who made birthday bags to be

given to clients of the Food Pantry to help celebrate their birthdays; to all the organizations businesses, churches and individuals who contributed food and monetary donations, which helped to support our mission to all of our volunteers who give of their valuable time every week each month, and to our farmers who bring in fresh produce and eggs. Many people in Powhatan benefit and have a better life because of your generosity. This symbolizes how the community of Powhatan comes together to do God’s work of service for our neighbors. Heartfelt thanks from the Powhatan Food Pantry. Patsy Goodwyn, president Coalition of Powhatan Churches

Leo Henderson, at-large, and chair Dr. Bill Burger, District 3, voted in support of the recommendation not to approve the application. William Flippen, at-large, and Roland Gilliam, District 5, voted against Donahue’s motion. Hubert Allen, District 4, abstained, later explaining he thinks the issue is being rushed. Now about 25 minutes into the meeting, the commission began to consider County Waste’s CUP application. The discussion started with Donahue raising several issues or making suggestions on amendments to the list of 39 conditions listed on the staff report. The only other commissioner comment regarding the application came from Burger, who did not like that the company’s assurance it would compensate adjoining homeowners who wished to move was not in writing in the CUP application or the host agreement. Nor did it specify how far away someone could live and be compensated.

That vote could take place as early as this week, with the board of supervisors scheduled to hold a public hearing on the two issues at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 28 at Cumberland Elementary School. By the end of that roughly 90-minute planning commission meeting, it became evident that the positions taken by the seven commissioners couldn’t be boiled down to who voted yea or nay because it wasn’t that simple. When the first vote was taken on County Waste’s application for rezoning, Stephen Donahue, who represents District 2, made a motion to send the rezoning request to the supervisors with a recommendation to not approve the application. The count on that vote was four in favor of it not being approved, two against and one abstaining. In the vote, Donahue; Randy Bryant, District 1;

Initially, Donahue made a motion to also send the CUP application to the supervisors with a recommendation not to approve it. However, that motion failed 2-5 against. Allen then made a motion to send the application forward without any recommendation for or against, but county administrator/county attorney Vivian Giles informed them they could not do that. Ultimately, the commission made a motion to recommend approval of the CUP application with the added conditions and suggestions raised by Donahue and Burger and this passed 6-1 in favor of it. Donahue was the lone vote against. The vote itself needed some clarification as many present, including Giles, weren’t sure exactly what they voted on. Several explained that if they sent a flat recommendation to not approve the application and the board of supervisors moved forward with it anyway, none of their

the vote had already been taken, 10 people spoke in the general comment section, stating their arguments and pleas again about why the landfill should be denied. They raised issues such as eschewing being compared to dumps in areas with county or city water when well water is the issue in Cumberland; water flow direction not matching what County Waste asserts; worrying about the quality of the truck drivers; extending the Route 60 congestion even further west in Powhatan and Cumberland; worrying about people who work and travel in the evenings and overnight when many trucks will be on the road; landfills not maintaining standards; and repeated questions of why the process is moving so fast on the landfill issue. After the meeting, County Waste senior vice president Jerry Cifor said the company was disappointed not to receive a positive recommendation but they respect the plan-

concerns would have been addressed. However, if they sent it forward with a recommendation to approve, they could add their comments for suggested changes. When people arrived at the meeting, they were greeted with a few dozen citizens outside the school carrying signs with messages such as “No smelly dump!” and “Do not trash Cumberland.” Since the public hearing had already been closed, no members of the public spoke before the votes. However, after

County Waste will make a presentation to the board on June 28 and will likely make some tweaks before then to the presentation, Cifor said. “We’ve heard the concerns and we are going to try to address the concerns we’ve heard,” Cifor said. “It seems like property values, truck traffic and contamination of wells – those seem to be the three biggies if I had to prioritize what I heard.”

During the commission discussion on the rezoning application, Donahue said he didn’t think it met Cumberland’s comprehensive plan objectives to “preserve, protect and develop the county’s ground and surface water resources” or its “high air quality” for the use and enjoyment of current and future citizens. He said the plan’s objective about strengthening and diversifying Cumberland’s economic base shouldn’t be the driving force behind this proposal but he believes it is. He didn’t think rezoning to M-2 standards was justified without “just compensation to the residence and current property owners in and around the proposed rezoned site.” He also disagreed with the staff report conclusion that asserted, “the

comprehensive plan, landfills are allowed in the medium to low density growth area. He said he has struggled with multiple issues, such as weighing the increased revenue the landfill promises to a possible cost it might exact. He referenced a waste management landfill in Amelia County where property values dropped in the first two years and then bounced back. He refuted the argument that any new homes going into that area would be a revenue generator for the county. He also talked about the truck traffic and putting 250 to 300 trucks on the road twice a day, but in response to the outcry raised by Powhatan County residents in the last few weeks, he pointed out that is less than the amount of trucks put on the road going to and from Luck Stone in Powhatan. Allen said the commission is charged with determining if the application complies with the comprehensive plan, which he said it does, and is good zoning, which remains to be seen. He also noted that he talked with people in District 4 over the phone or in person and found 83 percent of those in favor of the landfill and 17 percent against. He did not say how many people he asked. Gilliam said he felt people seemed to be more concerned with speculation than with facts and wanted to have everything their way. He said people kept repeating the same things. He said property val-

ues will go down initially but not stay that way and that people need to look at situations that have happened around other landfills and get the facts. He asked people to be open minded. Flippen acknowledged that no one wants a dump in their backyard because it is a nuisance and will not increase their property values but said those “are not reason enough to reject the rezoning or the CUP. The staff says it complies with the comprehensive plan.” Addressing the alternatives suggested to the revenue the landfill would bring in, Flippen provided some figures. To the idea of increasing taxes to make up the difference, to get full replacement value on what the landfill would bring in, at the low end of $1.4 million, taxes would go from 78 cents to 96 cents. At the top of the amount of $2.8 million, it would go from 78 cents to almost $1.15. Flippen said it would take $360 million in increased real estate value to generate $2.8 million. With a suggestion someone said of maybe 50 more houses coming in that area, they would have to be worth $7,180,000 each. He said he didn’t think any of the commissioners would take the risk for $360 million “if we truly believed it would risk the lives or the environment of Cumberland County.” He also referenced dumps in other areas that have still seen properties develop around them, including in Chesterfield, Charles City, and Amelia. He ended by saying he agreed with county staff that the landfill does comply with the comprehensive plan, he sees no feasible alternative to raising this kind of revenue and he hasn’t seen harm caused by landfills in other counties nearby. Burger ended the comments by saying he did not agree with staff’s assessment that it does not violate the spirit of the rules of the comprehensive plan. That is when the board took a vote and the recommendation not to approve passed 4-2-1.

inspiration for decades to come. The same could be said for Anthony Bourdain who died shortly before Krauthammer issued his letter. As a working journalist, the news of Bourdain’s death seemed like losing someone who also performed his job without taking the shortcuts that highlight today’s commentary and news cycles. Bourdain possessed the unique ability to take us on eclectic journeys to places we’d only read about, and, somehow, made us feel like we were seated right beside him. He introduced us to a type of travel, an off-

with conditions 4, 6, 7, 21, 25, 26, 27, and 39 and several points in the host agreement. Some of the issues he raised included doubting the contents of the trash could be truly vetted; citing the need for acceleration lanes; wanting frontage property owners adequately compensated if the road had to be widened; saying 50 foot buffers from any road was not enough; addressing the need for compensation for property owners if any washout or debris comes on their property; noise and light standards need to include the construction phase, and asserting he didn’t think odor would be prevented and asking if neighbors would be

the-beaten-path approach, that few would pursue on their own. His approach to his work was diligent, and Bourdain went the extra mile to get the real story, or introduce us to easily relatable natives who provided a unique insight into the culture and spirit of a nation. His death in France earlier this month is puzzling. While Krauthammer had every reason to resent or resist the struggles of life from a wheelchair, Bourdain, for all outward purposes, seemed to have the world by the tail, living a life many of us could only view with a degree of envy. While Krauthammer embraced the daily struggle that life present-

ed, for Bourdain, it became just too difficult. It confirms something all of us know. What appears on the outside does not reveal much about the inner struggles of any man or woman. We have no insight when it comes to seeing the soul of another. Suicide claims more than 45,000 lives a year, the tenth leading cause of death in America. Bourdain’s death exemplifies the need for all to pay close attention to changes in behavior in our friends and family, and the importance of seeking help if you are having suicidal thoughts. In the end, both men leave us with a clear message of wisdom not in their deaths, but in the way they lived.

compensated. Donahue said the host agreement needed conditions about restitution if pollution occurs or to those whose property is taken by lost due to the landfill; prevention of unwanted wildlife and sufficient conditions on water quality. Burger raised his concern about the plans for compensating adjoining landowners laid out in writing, including how far away they can live. Henderson asked for the height of the buffer trees to be outlined specifically. Burger asked if there was a response to these from the company. William Shewmake, a land use attorney and partner at LeClair Ryan representing County Waste of Virginia, said that the

company worked hard with staff and engineers to come up with the conditions, and especially with the denial on the rezoning, it would not look to amend those conditions at this time. Shewmake said he would look at the conditions. What followed was the failed 2-5 vote to recommend not approving the CUP; the realization the planning commission had to send some form of recommendation, and the final vote 6-1 vote to send the recommendation to approve with the suggestions for amendments and additions the commission would like to see made.

avail. There were precious few rocks to stand on beside the boat on which to gain footing to help move it. As the time dragged on, other people on the river – batteau participants and others – picked their way across the rocks through the swiftly running water to add more muscle to the effort. I’ve said before that growing up in Houston, Texas, which floods way more than you would think of for a major metropolitan city, I learned respect for water. I know the havoc it can wreak. I brought that respect to the river, knowing it can be unpredictable and dangerous, and people who don’t take heed of that and act rashly can be seriously injured or worse. So, when these men picked their way slowly across the river to where we were stranded and then worked together to free it, knowing they would then be standing next to a massive wooden boat cutting through the water, they had my full respect.

through the day, and I know there were more instances in the festival in the days that followed. At the beginning of this column, I called this group a brotherhood. I still don’t know if that names fits, but it will have to do. The description was meant to evoke a connection that is tangible not because of who these people are or where they come from. Consider for a moment that many of these people see each other a few times a year at batteau events only. Others are strangers when they begin floating down the river together. But once a year, for eight days, they come together in unity to share their love of the river and preserving its history. They share in each other’s triumphs and failures. When they see others in trouble, they work to help, sometimes at the risk of their own lives. It is a special connection, and one I feel privileged to be part of going forward.

Shown are images of the 33rd annual James River Batteau Festival, an eight-day journey from Lynchburg to Maidens Landing in Powhatan on the James River. Among the participants are two boats from Powhatan, the Fine Creek Mille, bottom left, and the Lady’s Slipper, above.

muddy, more swiftly flowing force to reckon with. As the batteau were coming into Cartersville Landing in Cumberland County, many had to divert around fallen trees and then fight the river to try to make it to the shore. Not all of them made it – at least not where they were hoping. The Fine Creek Mill, one of two batteau based out of Powhatan, was one of several boats that did not make it across the current in time and had to tie

up about 7,500 yards downstream and walk back to the landing. With the Fine Creek Mill, the boat first struggled with its anchor getting stuck, eventually having to cut the line to free the boat, and then not being able to make it to the landing, said Ned Nelson of Powhatan, captain and owner of the boat. “It’s a double-edged sword. It made traveling down the river a whole lot easier, but the biggest thing with high water is stopping. And if you’ve got a green crew, one that is not accustomed to what a boat needs, it makes it a little tougher to land,” he

said. Before that, Nelson said the festival had beautiful water this year, although the crews needed to know how to read the river to navigate it smoothly and the journey was far from perfect. The boat got caught on rocks on the first day and many people had to come help get it off. Then the crew had to plug the leaks, which is an ongoing battle for batteau crews. The other Powhatanbased boat in the festival, the Lady’s Slipper, was losing that battle by the third day of the festival, so crew leadership made the

decision to take the boat out of the festival, said its captain, Gail Timberlake of Powhatan. She said the Lady’s Slipper looked great when the festival started, but even during the first day, she spent much of her time patching the oakum, which is a hairy, oily service to pack the seams of the boat. “Each day with the bumps and the scrapes of the rocks, it just began to disintegrate,” she said, adding that by the third day it was taking on more water than it could bail out. Still, several of the crew members stayed

with the festival and even volunteered to crew other boats some days. And she said she had a great time, even though the week was “full of opportunities for problem solving.” Another participant, Beth Harker of Manassas, said the three days she spent helping crew the Maple Run batteau with her dad, Ricky Brightwell, were great. She said she enjoys the fun, adventure and the community the batteau festival creates. The batteau crews often float along and get to know each other, and when one needs help, others are quick to come to

Harker said the day coming down toward Cartersville was pretty easy because the crew didn’t have to pole much in the higher water. “This is actually the first time I’ve done the last half of the week. Usually I stop around Scottsville. It’s a new stretch of river to see,” she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

American Legion Post 201’s Sam Reed (21) had an RBI single during Post 201’s five-run first inning against Post 361 on June 27. Reed scored a run in the first inning as well for Post 201.

Post 201 Seniors win opener, fall to Post 361 By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

t was a common theme last season for American Legion Post 201’s Senior baseball team. The defense would allow one big inning to the opposing team, which would offset any offense that Post 201 had produced to that point, or would produce the rest of the game. That bug appeared again for Post 201 in its second game of the season on June 27 against Post 361 at Powhatan High School. Post 361 scored seven runs in the top

of the fourth inning en route to a 9-6 win. “Last year, we struggled where we gave up those big innings in the middle of the game,” coach Eric Mead said. “We gave up seven today, right in the middle. We’ve got to figure out how to eliminate that and lower the damage in those middle innings.” Post 361 got the scoring started in the top of the first inning, with an RBI single to make it 1-0. Post 201 had a big inning of its own in the bottom of the first. Carter Mimmick opened the inning with a walk and reached second base on a passed ball.

Two batters later, Cody Willis worked a walk to put two runners on. Then, Josh Dawson drove Mimmick in with a single to tie the game. Willis stole home to give Post 201 a 2-1 lead. Adam Seal then brought Dawson home with a double to make it 3-1 Post 201. Sam Reed continued the scoring with an RBI single to make it 4-1. Reed would score on a wild pitch later in the inning for a 5-1 lead. Tommy Preston was the starting pitcher for Post 201 and had a strong showing through the first three innings.

After allowing the one run in the first, Preston sat Post 361 down in order in the second and faced just four batters in the top of the third. Post 201 added another run in the bottom of the third inning. Trey Johnson worked a one-out walk, followed by a single by Austin Nichols and a walk by Mimmick. Cale Agee grounded into a fielder’s choice, which scored Johnson to make it 6-1. The fourth inning, however, was the fateful big inning for Post 361. see SENIORS, pg. 3B

201’s Juniors battle, but lose late to Orange 8-7 By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Post 201’s Emory Bradley knocked in two runs with a double in the fifth inning for the Juniors team against Orange on June 28.

American Legion Post 201’s Junior team had a battle on its hands in the opening game of the season against Orange Post 156. The two teams traded the lead back and forth a few times, but it was a fourrun sixth inning that ultimately doomed Post 201 to an 8-7 loss on June 28. “It was a good game,” coach Ott Mullins said. “I felt like we left a lot of opportunities on the table. We had a lot of things going our way. I thought we had everything set up just right. But, that (sixth) inning, we gave them four runs and that’s hard to come back from.” Post 201 started the scoring on the

night. Colby Cheatham led the bottom of the first off with a double and stole third during Carter Allan’s at-bat. Allan would drive Cheatham in with a single for the first run of the game. Later in the inning, Jake Burton reached on a fielder’s choice and would score on a single off the bat of Jason Hilbert for a 2-0 lead. Orange responded in the top of the second, as an error and a wild pitch allowed two runs to score and tie the game. One of the missed opportunities that Mullins noted occurred in the fourth inning. In the fourth, Mason Pinnell reached see JUNIORS, pg. 2B

Unfortunately for Powhatan, Tuckahoe’s sevenrun fourth inning propelled them to the 18-10 district tournament win. “We put up 10 runs against Tuckahoe, that’s pretty good,” Powhatan All-Stars coach John Snellings said. “I’m not happy with some of the errors, but that’s just the game.” Powhatan’s All-Stars came back from behind twice during the game and early on at that. After Tuckahoe jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first, Powhatan went right to work in the bottom of the inning. Simon Blount reached with a one-out single and would advance to third on two stolen bases. Adam Mitchell brought Blount home with a single to make it a 3-1 game. Mitchell would score the second run of the game on a failed pickoff play between Tuckahoe’s catcher

and third baseman to make it 3-2. After Zack Shifflett reached on a single and advanced to second on a passed ball, Parker Snellings brought him home with a single to tie the game 3-3. Tuckahoe responded with four runs in the top of the second to make it a 7-3 game. Powhatan battled back once again in the bottom of the second. Seth Blount reached on an error, while Sam Turner and Chris King each worked a walk to load the bases. Powhatan would score runs on an error, a basesloaded walk, a fielder’s choice and a wild pitch to make it a 7-7 game. The All-Stars took an 8-7 lead on an RBI single by Austyn Jamerson prior to the second inning ending. “To come from behind

twice…we don’t give up until the end,” Snellings said. “We played seven tough innings against a top-notch program in Tuckahoe. I’m very pleased. I wish we’d have gotten the win, but it didn’t happen.” However, Tuckahoe kept the pressure on and then some in their sevenrun fourth inning. The frame featured 5 RBIs coming off a double, a triple and a single during the inning. While Powhatan was able to score two runs in the sixth off an RBI double from Eric Hilbert and an error to make it 17-10 at the time, Tuckahoe’s defense was able to hold Powhatan in check in the final frame to avoid an eight-run comeback. Some of the errors committed by Powhatan against Tuckahoe were possibly the product of the defender just not being fa-

miliar with the position, something that Snellings sought to figure out after the Tuckahoe loss. “We might have had a few people not in the right place and moving them around,” he said. “But, that’s what you get when you have the All-Star team. You have some people who haven’t played there all year. I think we had the right people in the right places, but we just made a few errors, which cost us.” The loss dropped Powhatan to the consolation bracket, but the All-Stars defeated Atlee/Bethlehem Little League on June 27 by a score of 11-6. Powhatan’s Senior AllStars District V tournament experience came to an end on June 28, however. The All-Stars fell to Ashland Little League’s All-Stars 18-2 in the second game of the consolation bracket.

JUNIORS

Wasson worked a walk and Brandon Lyman loaded the bases after Orange’s second baseman bobbled the ball. But, Cheatham flew out to centerfield to end the chance and strand three runners. Orange took the lead on a 2 RBI double in the top of the fifth to make it 4-2. Post 201 answered right back in the bottom of the frame. Thomas Robinson reached with a one-out single, followed by Mitch Bolt getting hit by a pitch and Josh Boelt walked to load the bases. Andrew Cheatham struck out for the second out of the inning, but Tahja Collins worked a walk to bring in a run to make it 4-3. The next batter was Emory Bradley, who doubled to the outfield and

scored Bolt and Boelt to make it a 5-4 lead for Post 201. Similar to the Seniors team the night before, a big inning late in the game was the downfall of the Juniors. In the top of the sixth, Orange scored four runs without recording a single hit in the inning. Four batters in the inning walked, two reached on errors and one reached base on a hit by pitch. The lead evaporated for the Juniors and now they were faced with an 8-5 deficit. Post 201 got a run back in the bottom of the sixth as Colby Cheatham was hit by a pitch, stole second and third and scored on a wild pitch to make it 8-6. In the bottom of the seventh, Kemper Roudabush reached on a line drive to the outfield for a single and would advance

to eventually score on three separate wild pitches to make it 8-7. Two runners were on for Chase Gayness in the bottom of the seventh, but he popped out to the Orange catcher to end the game. In all, Post 201 left 12 runners stranded against Orange. Despite the setback, Mullins said that the game was a positive experience as all the players on the roster got playing time and some of those younger players provided necessary sparks when they entered the game. “The younger guys sparked us a little bit in the second half of the game,” he said. “It clicked pretty good, just not enough to put the ‘W’ on the board. I was happy with it, though, as it was the first time having the whole team together.”

Counselors and campers pose in the Powhatan High School gymnasium on June 28 during the Powhatan Basketball camp. The camp brought together the forces of the girls and boys basketball programs to teach the youth of Powhatan the necessary skills to be successful in basketball.

Powhatan camp works to build basketball skills By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The gym at Powhatan High School was abuzz with activity, bright and early, on the morning of June 29. The Powhatan Basketball Camp was alive and well, instructed campers in the skills necessary to become skilled basketball players. Just take Hannah Livermon for instance. Powhatan boys basketball coach Steve Washburn, in his 19th year doing the camp, remembers when Livermon was a camper at the basketball camp. Livermon went on to play for the Indians girls basketball team as well as at Randolph-Macon College. She is now an assistant coach for the Yellow Jackets. Many of the counselors at the camp this season are current, or recently graduated, members of the Powhatan girls and boys basketball teams. Quite a few of those players were also campers at one time and are now giving back to a program that gave them so much.

SENIORS Continued from pg.1

Preston walked the leadoff hitter, but got a strikeout and a groundout to put two outs on the board. However, the next seven batters reached base, four of which were by walks. Preston was replaced by Seal after the second of that string of batters, but Seal was unable to get that last out in the inning. Zach Frame entered the game and got a groundout to third that ended the inning, but the damage had been done as seven runs were on the board and the game went from a 6-1 Post 201 lead to an 8-6 deficit. “Tommy Preston pitched a good game and he was at his pitch limit,” Mead said. “We went with Adam Seal and this time he just struggled to find the plate. I thought Zach Frame did a good job of coming in and getting out of the jam that he was in.”

“This has been something, for me, that has been very rewarding,” Washburn said. “It just shows growth and development for our program. So many of the counselors were, at one time or another, in the camp themselves. That, to me, is the most rewarding thing is seeing the kids come up through the camp, play in the program, and eventually serve as counselors and move on. Hannah Livermon attended this camp quite a few years ago and to see her as an assistant coach at a major college program…those are the stories that you hang on to. It’s a lot of fun.” The camp features a few different aspects, including stations that teach different skills, from ball handling and dribbling to shooting and layups. “It’s great to work on the fundamentals,” Powhatan guard Jaylen Hempfield said. “Every day, we build them up more and more and eventually play on the main court and see what they can do.” Also included is are transition drills, free throw competitions, “hot shot” competitions, which is shooting from different

points on the floor and earning points for shots in the net, as well as scrimmages. “It’s super exciting to teach them all the little things and watch them grow,” Indians forward Katie Henderson said. “The future of Powhatan is here.” The scrimmages escalate from two-on-two early in the camp to a full fiveon-five by the close of the camp. “There’s a lot of basketball interest in the county,” Indians girls basketball coach Kristy Henderson said. “It’s great to see. There are more girls here at this camp than I’ve ever seen before. It’s definitely growing.” The camp also provides the chance for both the girls and boys basketball players and coaches to work alongside each other. “It’s a good chance for (Washburn) and I to be together at the same place at the same time and talk it up,” Henderson said. “It’s good for the older kids to mingle. A lot of the girls will play two-on-two or three-on-three during breaks with the older kids, which is fun to watch. It’s good community.”

“That’s been really big too,” Washburn said of the two programs coming together. “(Henderson) brings so much energy. Having the two programs together shows the kids how much we’re trying to build something special in the county and trying to work toward the same thing and success that’ll last for years to come.” The Indians players

were working alongside and directly interacting with the campers, whether it was leading the whole camp in stretches or participating in shuttle or running drills during the early morning session. “It’s just really fun getting to know the kids and teaching them about basketball,” Powhatan guard/ forward Ethan Johnson

said. “It’s cool because they want to learn from you and they look up to you. “It’s cool coaching the kids and seeing the future of Powhatan,” Indians center John Varel said. The final day of the camp was June 28, but another session of Powhatan Basketball camp will occur the week of July 16.

Mead pointed out, though, the seven runs allowed were compounded by the lack offense following the five-run first inning for Post 201. Even in the one-run third inning for Post 201, the bases were loaded twice in the inning and Post 201 was only able to push one run across. After Post 361’s offensive fireworks in the fourth, Post 201 had only three batters reach base for the remainder of the game. Nichols and Mimmick reached with one out in the fifth, but that chance was erased by a 6-4-3 inning-ending double play. A 4-6-3 double play ended a chance in the bottom of the sixth after Dawson reached with a one-out single. Post 361 added another run scored on a wild pitch in the top of the sixth inning for the ninth run of the game. “We didn’t stay strong with the bats,” Mead said. While the offense, out-

side of the first, was disappointing for Post 201, Mead believes that his team is full of hitters who are dangerous each time they’re up at the plate. “This team is full of great hitters,” he said. “We can really hit the baseball. I think it’s more mentality than ability. They have the ability to absolutely demolish baseballs. I think it’s about the mentality. I think it’s staying strong and continuing to press even when you have a big lead.” One example of 201’s ability to “demolish baseballs” was seen just one game earlier in the opening game of the season in a 14-4 rout of Mechanicsville Post 186 on June 25. Post 201 wasted no time in getting runs on the board. In the first inning, they put up nine total runs. Post 201 was already up 5-0, which included a Josh Dawson home run, when the offense continued to pile on the offense. Agee came to the plate

with the bases loaded and sent a double into leftcenterfield, which cleared the bases to make it 8-0. Willis brought Agee home with a double of his own, this one to right field, to make it 9-0. Post 186 got a runner on base in the top of the second, but a 4-6-3 double play quelled any momentum that Mechanicsville was attempting to get going. Post 201 continued its offensive torrent in the bottom of the second inning. Reed reached on an error by the Mechanicsville shortstop top to open the inning. Jacob Frame followed Reed by reaching on an error by the Mechanicsville third baseman to put two runners on. After a fly ball to second base by Jacob Beil, Austin Rose sent a shot to shortstop, which the Mechanicsville fielder errantly threw into right field in a double play attempt.

That error allowed two runs to score to make it 11-0 in favor of 201. Johnson brought Rose home with a fielder’s choice groundout to make it 12-0. Mimmick reached with a single, but was thrown out at second as he was attempting to steal the base to end the inning. Mechanicsville started to get to Post 201 starter Hunter Montgomery in the top of the fifth inning. Montgomery issued a walk, a single and hit a batter to load the bases with one out. He walked another batter to force a run home, which made the score 121. Mead brought in Reilly Dickerson in relief of Montgomery. The first batter Dickerson faced reached on an error, which also brought home a run to make it 12-2. Dickerson gave up a sacrifice fly and an RBI single before the inning ended with a strikeout and the score was at 12-4.

“Hunter threw the ball really, really well tonight,” Mead said. “It was nice to get him up in his pitch count in his first outing. I was happy with Hunter’s performance on the mound. Reilly is a one-inning guy and can spot the ball for you and I thought he did really well with the jam that he got in with the bases loaded.” Mimmick started the bottom of the fifth inning off with a single, followed by Agee reaching safely to put two runners on. Willis then grounded to the shortstop, which got Agee at second, but Midlothian’s second baseman was errant on the relay to first. The error allowed Mimmick to score to make it 13-4. Dawson followed that up with a triple, which scored Willis to make it 14-4. Post 201 hit the road for a game at Post 284 in Colonial Heights on June 30 and a matinee on July 1 at Douglas Freeman against Post 125.
