Powhatan State Park celebrates 5 years

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – A small group of people recently gathered to celebrate a very special fifth birthday.

On Friday, July 6, Powhatan State Park marked a big milestone with a birthday party recognizing the fifth anniversary since it opened in Powhatan County. Although still quite young, the 1,564-acre state park has developed exponentially in the last few years, attracting an ever-growing number of people to connect with nature within its boundaries.

Park staff held a small birthday party for the park on July 6, complete with birthday cake and a visit from Ranger Parker Redfox, the official mascot for Virginia State Parks, according to Shannon Bruce, the park’s office manager.

“That was a huge milestone for us, especially as much as the park has grown since opening. The last two years alone have really grown very quickly,” she said.

“We added the ability for equestrians to ride the trails, the water and electric campgrounds and the group campground. The group campground opened in the CONTRIBUTED PHOTO spring. The first time we had anybody staying at that Present for the celebration of Powhatan State Park’s fifth anniversary were Sammy McCafland, was in April or May.” from left, trades tech; Matthew O’Quinn, park manager; Joey Shelton, chief ranger; Parker Redfox; The birthday celebration included games set up for Jolene Madding, education specialist; Shannon Bruce, office manager, and Gwyneth Matthews, see PARK, pg. 6

POWHATAN – If Favienne “Favi” Roop’s career as a baker has shown anything, it is that she loves to challenge herself.

During her 17-year career, the Powhatan baker has worked in a wide range of jobs that taught her new skills and challenged her creativity. But when the challenges tapered off, Roop was usually ready to move on.

“If I am not being challenged with new techniques and new recipes I get bored and it is not worth it,” said Roop, owner of Cakes by Favienne, a catering and custom-order business based in Powhatan.

So it is no surprise when watching Roop compete in the new Netflix cooking competition, “Sugar Rush,” that she and her friend and former co-worker, Pete Hall, constantly pushed themselves to create bigger and better things, even if it was a new experience for them.

More than once in the final episode of

the fast-paced baking king competition series, which premiered on Friday, ay, July 13 on thee web-based entertainment service, the pair can he heard to say “go big or go home,” and taking the risks to back that up.

“It was good to see him againn and it was a really ally great experience.. We both laughed andd said ‘I would never do this his again,’ again ’ and a week later we said, ‘When is the next show,’” Roop said during a recent interview at Independence Golf Club in Powhatan, where she has a kitchen space in one of the buildings on the property for her catering business.

Roop said having her custom-order cake business is about two things for her:

Judge stands by his decision in civil suit against county

ALL-STAR P VING PA

News Editor

P

OWHATAN – A Powhatan County Circuit Court judge recently stood by his decision in a civil suit brought against the county that ruled largely in its favor, including upholding his original decision that the county did not have to release documents relating to an internal investigation regarding language being removed from the Subdivision Code.

Judge Paul Cella issued a written opinion on Friday, July 6 that addressed a motion to reconsider on a ruling he made in April regarding the civil suit brought by former sheriff Nelson Batterson against the county.

Cella had ruled on the case back on April 19, three days after a hearing in which he listened to arguments from Batterson’s attorney, Patrick McSweeney, and county attorney Tom Lacheney.

That hearing was held after McSweeney filed a petition of mandamus and injunction citing eight allegations against the county. The civil suit mostly dealt with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests McSweeney made to the county in January and February on Batterson’s behalf related to changes to the road system with certain projects in Powhatan. He also requested records related to the adoption and amendment of the Subdivision Ordinance during the previous two years.

By the end of that first hearing, it was clear the biggest question was whether Cella would decide documents generated during the internal investigation surrounding the Subdivision Code deletion could be withheld because of attorney-client privilege and/or protection of personnel documents or whether they should be released.

In the April 19 opinion, Cella ruled the county had not violated FOIA by withholding the documents.

By April 23, McSweeney had filed a motion on Batterson’s behalf to reconsider on this and several other points, and the weeks since have been marked by a steady flow of points and counterpoints by the two sides of the case, both in written legal arguments and in a second hearing held on June 19.

In his July 6 written opinion, Cella stood by his decision not to have the documents regarding the investigation into two county employees released, agreeing with two of Lacheney’s arguments that would have protected them: one citing that “they do constitute working papers and correspondence� of the county administrator Ted Voorhees and the other being that the county did not waive attorneyclient privilege just because it released a document on a similar topic from Voorhees to a board member.

Other points While the investigative report documents and the decision on whether to release them was the focus of many of the motions and responses made on both sides, it was not the only issue. In his July 6 opinion, Cella released opinions on several other matters: The timeliness of the county’s response to Batterson’s FOIA requests (made by McSweeney), which started back in January, was an ongoing issue. The two attorneys argued about the difference between McSweeney’s requests and his actual permission, given fees that would be incurred to produce documents, to move ahead with the production of documents under FOIA. In his July 6 opinion, Cella wrote that the county’s response was timely and denied Batterson’s request for reconsideration on that point.

The one area in Cella’s April 19 opinion that found relatively in Batterson’s favor was regarding the cost to produce documents. An initial, very broad FOIA request, had originally received a quote of $896 to fulfill it, which was dropped to $200 when the FOIA request was narrowed. The cost continued to be a bone of contention in the back and forth between McSweeney and the county, with a final estimate at $1,356 to recoup some of the staff time taken to generate it. However, Cella wrote on April 19 that since Batterson was given an estimate of $200, the county should be held to that, and he capped the county’s fee at $200.

However, in his motion to reconsider, McSweeney said the court failed to address his argument that his client shouldn’t have to pay for documents that had already been collected for a board of supervisors member. Lacheney

maintained that the documents Batterson requested went above and beyond what was gathered for the supervisor, David Williams.

In the July 6 opinion, Cella said that “the County had to go to considerable effort above and beyond any prior work that may have been done to assemble documents for Williams and that the County’s fee of $200.00 was therefore justified.

Since this is much less than what the County asked for, I do not believe that Batterson has any right to complain.�

During the June 19 hearing and in one of his supplemental responses on behalf of Batterson, McSweeney requested a privilege log, which is a document that describes withheld from production in a civil lawsuit under a claim that the documents are privileged from disclosure due to attorneyclient privilege, work product doctrine, or some other privilege. Lacheney argued that FOIA does not require a privilege log.

In his July 6 opinion, Cella agreed that FOIA does not require a privilege log and that under FOIA, “certain documents are simply not discoverable to begin with.�

In addition to not wanting to pay the $200 fee the county charged for the documents, Batterson asked for the county to pay costs and attorney’s fees. Cella wrote in his July 6 opinion that Virginia Code says a petitioner in a FOIA case can recover those costs “if the petitioner substantially prevails on the merits of the case, unless special circumstances would make an award unjust.�

Cella stated that Batterson was correct in an allegation that in the past the board of supervisors had held some closed meetings that did not comply with state code in terms of how they were announced, but pointed out the county had conceded this point from the beginning and taken steps to correct it. “On his other claims, however, Batterson was unsuccessful. I do not believe that this is a situation in which the petitioner has ‘substantially’ prevailed on the merits of the case.

Therefore, Batterson’s claim for costs and attorney’s fees is denied,� Cella wrote in the July 6 opinion.

Batterson’s objections The objection to the final order filed on July 12 outlines 12 points where Batterson feels Cella erred in his decisions.

The objection states the court erred in: ruling that the county timely produced all records in response to his FOIA request and had not violated the deadline for production; ruling that the county had not violated the statutory deadline; concluding that FOIA “precludes the application of Rule 4:1(b)(6) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia, which requires a party asserting the attor-

ney-client privilege in litigation to submit a privilege log�; failing to address the petitioner’s contention that the absence of identification of documents submitted un-

Lacheney had submitted the documents regarding an investigation into two county employees to Cella on April 26 for an in camera review but asked the judge to seal them, which he did. McSweeney had argued that the he should be allowed to review the records with the judge, but his request was denied. Cella reviewed the documents and entered another protective order to keep them under seal on June 21.

Both lawyers responded to requests for comments with emails sent on Thursday, July 12.

Lacheney said he is hopeful that the judge’s second opinion “brings an end to this matter, which has already cost the county taxpayers thousands of dollars.� Responding to a question, he also noted that Batterson has not paid the $200 FOIA document fee.

McSweeney said Batterson is disappointed with the judge’s opinion and does intend to appeal.

Regarding additional comment, he pointed to a petitioner’s objections to entry of final order he filed on July 12 outlining Batterson’s objections.

During this time, plebes have no access to television, movies, the internet, or music, and restricted access to cell phones. They are only permitted to make three calls during the six weeks of Plebe Summer.

Park manager Matthew O'Quinn said it has been a pleasure watching Powhatan State Park grow from a small, little known park with only a few hiking trails into a destination over the past five years.

“A good part of our park's success can be attributed to the overwhelming support from our community partners, neighbors, and our friends who advocate for the park and continue to promote it

from every angle,” he said. “It's a privilege to continue to serve as park manager for a park with endless possibilities.”

Powhatan is one of the most ecologically diverse parks in the state, and now that full service camping is available, the park is being discovered by more and more families across the state and country, O’Quinn said.

“I'm excited to see where our park will be in another five years as we work to preserve our public lands and increase recreational opportunities to more people,” he said.

The park just finished its fiscal year on June 30.

At this point, the park will not be adding any more trails in the near future, focusing instead on a reforestation project, she added.

The next big project laid out in the park’s master plan, which was updated in 2012, is to add cabins between the River Bend Campground and the group campground, Bruce said. That project will probably be in the next three to five years, she said.

“After that, eventually we are supposed to end up with an equestrian campground, but that is later on in the master plan,” Bruce said.

The park has already

Park had 127,140 visitors.

The year before, it had 109,629 visitors, and the year before that, the number was under 60,000 visitors.

“We have more doubled in the last two years.

I would definitely say it’s the campgrounds in addition to people just figuring out the park is here,” she said.

The group campground that was the latest addition to the park can hold up to 24 people and works well for scouting and church groups, Bruce said. It has no electricity, but it does have two water spigots and the pit toilets.

Additionally, a group can stay together without others around them.

Powhatan native among new state troopers Contributed Report The Commonwealth of Virginia recently graduated its 128th generation of Virginia State Troopers, and a Powhatan native was among the 39 new troopers.

On June 22, the 39 new troopers were presented their diplomas during commencement exercises at the State Police Training Academy located at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike in North Chesterfield County.

The graduates of the 128th Basic Session are from every corner of the Commonwealth, including King George County, Fredericksburg, Chesapeake, Rappahannock, Lynchburg, Danville and Wise County.

Among the graduates is Matthew Charles McCrory of Powhatan, who has received a duty assignment in Chesterfield County.

The new troopers, all of whom entered the Academy as pre-certified law enforcement officers, have received more than 300 hours of classroom and field instruction in nearly 50 different subjects, including defensive tactics, crime scene investigation, ethics and leadership, police professionalism, firearms, judicial procedures, officer survival and crisis management. The members of the 128th Basic Session began their eight weeks of academic, physical and practical training at the Academy on April 26.

Upon graduation, the new troopers reported to their individual duty assignments across Virginia beginning July 5, for their final phase of training. Each trooper will spend an additional six weeks paired up with a Field Training Officer learning his or her new patrol area.

county officers and staff and Lacheney that had been disclosed by the county were not covered by the attorney-client privilege; ruling that the working papers exclusion applies because “that exclusion is not applicable (1) if the records were prepared for the Board of Supervisors rather than the County Administrator or (2) if the records were prepared for the County Administrator and they were disseminated to the Board of Supervisors”; concluding Batterson was only relying on one disclosed document from the county as the basis for saying attorney-client privilege was waived when McSweeney

presented several others as examples at the June 19 hearing; ruling that the county did not waive the attorney-client privilege by disclosing certain communications between Voorhees and staff; dismissing Batterson’s claim that the county violated state code when it repeatedly failed to comply with the requirement that the motion authorizing the closed meeting state the subject matter to be discussed since “voluntary cessation of the violations at a single meeting did not moot the claim and warrant dismissal,” ruling that Batterson had not substantially prevailed in the litigation.

Summer camp fun still has appeal as an adult

By Laura McFarland News Editor

T

he fact that “adulting” is a widely accepted and used word amuses me.

Check out the first definition of this word, categorized as a verb, found on Urbandictionary.com: to carry out one or more of the duties and responsibilities expected of fully developed individuals (paying off that credit card debt, settling beef without blasting social media, etc). Exclusively used by those who adult less than 50 percent of the time.”

Of course, there are a few other definitions given of the word, some nicer than others. Several of the example sentences offered under the various definitions are hilarious. Check out this one: “Used in a sentence: Jane is adulting quite well today as she is on time for work promptly at 8 a.m. and appears well groomed.”

A few things made me think of this silly concept that people deserve some kind of special attention and recognition for doing the most basic things PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND adults are called upon to do.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

A crusty old editor once told me, “If you want to succeed in community journalism, learn to be a jack of all trades and try to master something.”

I suppose that was shortly before I began covering sports for a small newspaper that served a rural county.

It’s strange that, some three decades later, some of those first memories of misty fall nights on the sidelines enter my recall with the least friction.

On one of those normal nights that found me on a remote football field with half-filled stands, I barely noticed a halftime ceremony that honored past heroes from a glorious sports history of a once prominent program.

I only took notice when the announcer reeled off a list of records held by a running back, a man whose name was unfamiliar to me. But, the numbers were astounding, almost inhuman and the feats described seemed almost fictional.

The man who walked slowly to midfield was now middle-aged, still wiry and easy with his step, his short hair now grayed. He bowed slightly in thanks as he accepted a small wooden plaque.

I jotted the name down in my notebook. It was one of those stories that I couldn’t get out of my mind, more motivated by curiosity than a dedication to sports journalism.

It was early in my career and I’m not sure I would have known a good story if it arrived on tablets from above, but I couldn’t forget the endless questions I had surrounding this story.

During the next few months, I poked around for answers. There was no sign of the whereabouts of

the athlete, more than two decades since his heroics on the football field.

Finally, I met a man who played on the same team with this superstar. He told a story of disappointment and lost opportunity that confronted a 17-year-old country boy as the standout running back left town on a full scholarship to a prestigious Southern university.

He arrived in July and he was back home in Virginia by late August. The teammate explained how the star athlete made a bad decision when he first arrived on the campus and had been “put off” the team and sent home.

Further research revealed it was a misguided decision regarding marijuana that ended the young boy’s career.

“He was the best running back that no one ever heard of,” the teammate said.

When I finally sat down with the still fit running back later that year, it was immediately obvious it was a memory best forgotten. And, by all indications, the youthful mistake had not lastingly impacted his life. Upon his return, he enrolled in community college and eventually attended a state school and graduated.

But, he never picked up another football, even declining requests to coach his son’s peewee football team.

He explained that things had not gone well when he arrived at the larger-than-life campus, and coaches were immediately concerned with his slight frame and lack of bulk.

“They wanted to make me a defensive back or wide receiver,” he told me.

Most of our conversation involved his family, the achievements of his children and his commitment to

his community. He spoke of those few months after high school graduation as a series of youthful missteps.

To his credit, he learned from his mistakes and didn’t dwell on the past, refusing to let one mistake in life dictate how the rest of it would evolve.

At the end of our conversation, he told me he would rather not be part of a newspaper story. He described a life that followed the straight and narrow since his return from college that fall. The one mistake had not defined or confined the shifty running back.

All that remained were a few newspaper clippings and a list of records that will probably stand forever.

There were no videos reflecting his talent, no retired jersey on the wall of the gym, and that’s the way he wanted it.

Finally, I knew the story. I also was assured it was a story that wouldn’t be told by me. I lamented that no one would know a story of redemption and a message that no obstacle is big enough to destroy a destiny.

It was the first lesson in the power of untold stories and the people who inspired them. I wondered how many other untold stories are out there, better left undisturbed or investigated.

For a young journalist, it was a valuable reminder that discovering a tragic event or episode in someone’s past is sometimes not a legitimate news story.

I often reminisce regarding past stories I’ve told, the many amazing people I’ve met along the way and the impact they’ve had on me.

In this case, it’s the story that wasn’t told that made the lasting impression. I realized that getting the big story is important, but not writing it is, in rare cases, the admirable choice.

CITIZENS Continued from pg. 1

There were still some pleas for the board to reconsider its split decision on June 28 to approve rezoning and conditional use permit (CUP) applications for County Waste of Virginia’s proposal to build Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility.

However, many of the people who spoke made it obvious that while they still opposed the landfill, if it was going to happen, they urged the board of supervisors to make sure the board negotiated a strong host agreement with the company that protected the best interests of residents.

During its last meeting on June 28, the board had voted 4-1 in favor of approving the host agreement contingent on three points.

The three points were that the county and landfill company would work out mutually agreeable language on the property value and expense compensation to the property owners; mutually agreeable language on County Waste of Virginia as the guarantor of the host agreement and not CWV Land Acquisition LLC or Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility LLC, and following through on a stated willingness to remove fly ash as an acceptable daily cover for the landfill in the host agreement.

Discussion of a “host community agreement” was on the board’s agenda during the closed meeting section, which had some people riled and worried the supervisors were trying to shut citizens out of having input on the document.

However, before going into closed session, chairman Kevin Ingle, who represents District 3, pointed out that while there are aspects of the host agreement that have to be discussed in closed session, no action can be taken behind closed doors.

“We cannot make any decisions in there. Every decision has to be made out here in front of everybody. We cannot do any voting once we leave this room. All we can do is dis-

cuss,” he reassured the crowd.

William Osl Jr., District 1, said that the board had said at its June 28 meeting that it intended to amend the host agreement draft.

The host agreement draft is currently with Green Ridge LLC, but the Cumberland supervisors are “looking for the guarantor to be the parent company, which is County Waste of Virginia. There are more assets in that business than there is in the LLC.” “We don’t need to have that discussion in closed session. We’ve already said that. That is going to be in the host agreement,” Osl said. “There are other items prior to this landfill

an Giles clarified that the host agreements listed on the agendas in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 prior to June 28 all refer to the May 2006 host agreement Cumberland had with first Allied Waste and then Republic Services after it purchased Allied.

She said those closed meeting discussions began after Republic Services sent a letter dated Nov. 12, 2014, attempting to terminate that host agreement.

“Up until now, it really is true that the discussions under host agreement have really been about the old one, because anything that related to the new one was put on there under ‘Discussion concerning a pro-

odor management was too vague; clarification on how the leachate will be transported to holding tanks, and asking who will be monitoring wells.

“I am just concerned because of the vagueness of this document, you are going to sign it and we are going to lose control,” she said.

Christal Schools of Cumberland said the host agreement seems “extremely one-sided” in favor of the landfill company, even calling it abusive.

She wanted to know who will be on the hook for damages that may occur.

She asked that the county have a point of contact within its staff that can an-

discussion at all, that dealt with our prior host agreement. That is the discussion we’ve been having in these sessions.”

Osl pointed out that “host community agreement” has been listed under the closed meeting section on the agenda of many meetings for about a year.

A review of previous meeting agendas showed that mention of a “discussion regarding the host community agreement” actually goes back much further, first appearing on the agenda for the meeting on Feb. 10, 2015. However, unlike many agendas that come after it that just list it as “host community agreement,” the Feb. 10, 2015, agenda specifies that it is referring to the host agreement “between the County and the Cumberland County Development Company, LLC.” After the meeting, county administrator Vivi-

Giles added that because the board had mentioned at the June 28 meeting the items it wanted changed about the new host agreement being negotiated, the amendments to the host agreement are currently being drafted.

swer citizen questions and hear concerns rather than having to ask them of the landfill company.

“I want somebody from the county to keep us informed, step by step, of the process. I want somebody from the county to answer our questions. I think that is a reasonable request,” she said.

trucks will not be traveling through Farmville according to the draft host agreement. He also talked about the height of the landfill, which company representatives have said before will be 250 feet in the air, and the risk of that increasing.

Janet Habel of Cumberland criticized some of

Victoria Ronnau Powhatan County resident Public comments During the meeting’s two public comment periods, eight people addressed the board about the landfill issue, several of them speaking twice, covering an array of topics.

However, running through all of the comments was a message of urging the board to use caution and deliberation when reviewing the new host agreement before it is finalized.

Victoria Ronnau of Powhatan said she went over the host agreement draft minutely and found several areas that needed to be addressed. In a section on radioactive waste, medical waste, animal carcasses that could possibly contain highly contagious pathogens, she said there are not enough specifics addressing how the landfill will prevent them from being dumped. She specifically addressed worries about shale-radon and other contaminates. She felt the language regarding

She also asked about the timeline of when Green Ridge will speak to adjacent homeowners who might be interested in selling in relation to the adoption of the host agreement.

Ronald Tavernier of Cumberland wanted to know about abandoned wells on properties that the landfill company buys, whether located on ones it has already purchased or land it might buy in the future. He specifically wanted to know how many there are, who will monitor the proper sealing of the wells, which are direct links to groundwater for leachate if it leaks. He questioned how loads would be inspected to make sure they do not contain prohibited materials.

He also addressed the issue of the effectiveness of covering the landfill for odor management.

Tavernier said it needs to be spelled out the radius around the landfill that cit-

about the landfill. He said he got more than 1,000 signatures and accused the supervisors of stifling their First Amendment rights because an attorney representing the board has filed a motion to dismiss the referendum. He also questioned how much they knew about the legal action despite being named in the motion. A hearing on that motion will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 23 in Cumberland.

Bruce Allen of Cumberland said he has been told because his house is on the side of the landfill that will be filled several years down the road, the company will not buy his house immediately. He

izens can be bought out by County Waste of Virginia and expressed his inkling to sell. He also addressed the traffic analysis and said the higher concentration of traffic and trucks in Powhatan brought up previously all referred to areas of road that have four lanes, not two.

Kevin Halligan of Powhatan said that while he doesn’t want the board to sign, the problem he has with the host agreement is that everything seems subject to change, whether it is the amount of trash accepted or the types of trash allowed. He also asked about the screening of the trash and noise limits. He talked about how dump

the board of supervisors for not listening to and respecting citizens opposed to the landfill. She said she was “deeply saddened and ashamed” by comments made by two supervisors who “lambasted the citizens of Powhatan and Cumberland” and “derided the supervisors of Powhatan,” who have a right to stand up for and defend the citizens of their county. She defended the right of citizens to be angry about the landfill when their properties and lives will be affected by it.

She spoke again, asking about the future of the county’s transfer stations and who would be responsible for cleanup if water systems are polluted or damages if people die in traffic accidents.

Bill Bruce of Cumberland brought up the referendum he spearheaded to determine whether the county’s citizens think the supervisors should be the ones to make the decision

questioned the fairness of the company getting to decide when they will buy the house.

“My way of life has been changed. I didn’t ask for this. You know what, just buy me out and let me get the hell out,” said Allen, who wore a shirt that on the front read, “CUMBERLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SOLD US OUT” and on the back read, “CUMBERLAND COUNTY DUMP STINKS.” Bill Bryant of Powhatan talked about VDOT being responsible for the stretch of Route 60 between the two counties still being two lanes. He also criticized the attitude of some of the Cumberland supervisors, calling it “nasty.”

After the first public comment period, Ingle said he will work to get people answers to their questions.

Outside of official meetings, opponents of the proposed landfill also continue their efforts to see it stopped.

Cumberland County Landfill Awareness is a group of Powhatan and Cumberland County residents dedicated to informing local residents about the landfill and opposing its development.Residents from all the surrounding counties are invited to an informal informational meeting being held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 22 at the new Cumberland County Community center located at the intersection of Davenport Road and Cumberland Road (Route 45) going toward Farmville.

SUGAR Continued from pg. 1

times were good. It became a career after she graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. In the time since, Roop said she has held upwards of 25 differed jobs, learning something from all of them.

But in running her own business, Roop said she loves that she has full control of her menu and can constantly evolve it to keep challenging herself and appealing to customers.

Roop’s love of baking is second only in her life to her love of her family. She said her husband, Brian, and children Jackson, 12, and Bryleigh, 10, are incredibly supportive. Bryleigh suffers from eosinophilic esophagitis, which in her case is triggered by food allergies. The Roops’ decided Favi should pursue her baking independence so that Bryleigh was cared for and could be taken for her routine endoscopies and frequent doctors' appointments.

“As her mom I am extremely grateful that my clients understand that my family comes first. Her specialists are in Ohio, and we travel back and forth every 12 weeks. If I had a ‘normal’ job I would never be able to give her the quality of care she needs,” Roop said.

Before Roop had ever even heard about “Sugar Rush” her children had long supported the idea of her doing a baking competition show, but she admitted she never thought she would be chosen for one.

Pete Hall and Favienne Roop listen to judges comments.

show was a mystery before they got there, and they hadn’t actually worked together in years, Roop added.

“We winged it a lot because we didn’t plan or have time together to practice anything,” she said.

The competition is judged by pastry chefs Candace Nelson and Adriano Zumbo with an episode guest judge, restaurateur Mindy Segal, and hosted by Hunter March.

“Sugar Rush” featured three rounds, with the first two rounds running back-to-back without pause and lasting a total of three hours. When the competitors finished their creation in the first round, which was cupcakes, they immediately moved on to the second round, confections. Even while they were working on their round two entries, the contestants got a surprise.

“As you are working in your round two, the judges are coming around and judging what you just finished.

Once they are finished, they eliminate someone while you are still baking.

You don’t do a round and then stand around and wait,” Roop said. “There was no waiting for the judges. You didn’t stand there and look at everybody else and wonder what you are doing.”

All three rounds fit in some way into the episode theme of “Getting Buzzed”: first round, coffee; second round bees, and third round, alcohol.

The bakers had to incorporate the theme into both the design and taste of their creations. The winning team received $10,000.

In the cupcake round, Roop and Hall made a trio of cupcakes: caramel espresso cake baked in a demitasse

What a rush Roop said she was invited last summer out of the blue to participate in a new baking show and roped in Hall, who lives in Georgia, as her partner.

“We have always remained friends and he has been my lifeline when I can’t figure out how to create whatever it is I want to do,” she said. “I called him and I asked him if he wanted to help. He was shocked and reluctant but did it anyway. At this point we hadn’t seen each other in 15 years.”

The pair was reunited when they were flown to California in October 2017 for several days of filming the new show. Much of the premise of the

cup with an Italian buttercream: deconstructed tiramisu with an espresso sabayon, and a Scotch Irish coffee cupcake with an Irish cream buttercream. In the second round, they made an orange pistachio honeycomb brittle and a honey-filled beehive truffle.

Both confections received excellent comments from the judge, with Segal saying she was in “honey heaven.”

“This was spectacular. Every flavor you said that’s on the plate, I can taste every single flavor. That is so amazing,” she said.

In the final round, they made a tequila gravity cake, which was a first for both of them. They decided to make a 3-foot high tropical drink cake with a giant bottle of tequila pouring into it. They made a coconut cream cake with a pineapple buttercream center and a tequila syrup.

Both final teams struggled in the last round to make their massive cakes but rallied to keep working. In the end, the judges were very complimentary but struggled to taste the tequila in the cake Roop and Hall created, which turned out to be their downfall.

Even though she didn’t win, Roop said there wasn’t much she would change about the experience – although winning $10,000 would obviously have been wonderful. She and Hall weren’t there to impress people; they wanted to prove to themselves they could do it, she said.

“I would do it all over again and I don’t think I would do anything different except maybe change the design of our cake,” she said.

As Bridgewater College’s approximately 368 graduating seniors and their families celebrated on Saturday, May 5, Carrie Morgridge, vice president and chief disruptor of the Morgridge Family Foundation, challenged the graduates to use their power, voice and education to make the world a better place.

Of the graduates, 157 earned bachelor of arts degrees and 142 earned bachelor of science degrees.

Ninety-nine graduates will complete studies during the summer. The college’s president, Dr. David W. Bushman, conferred the degrees at the ceremony.

The following students from this area have earned degrees: Luke Hill of Powhatan, majoring in business administration; Ryan Kirtner of Powhatan, majoring in business administration, graduated magna cum laude; and Parker Mead of Powhatan, majoring in health and physical education.

Seventeen members of the class graduated summa cum laude – the top academic honor which requires at least a 3.9 grade point average on a 4.0 scale. Twenty-two graduates earned magna cum laude honors – 3.7 or better average. Cum laude honors, requiring a 3.4 grade point average, were earned by 55 graduates.

Bridgewater College is a private, four-year liberal arts college located in the Central Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Founded in 1880, it was the state’s first private, coeducational college. Today, Bridgewater College is home to more than 1,900 undergraduate students.

Local students named to Dean’s List at Bridgewater College’s Contributed Report The Dean’s List for the spring semester at Bridgewater College has been announced by Dr. Leona A. Sevick, provost and vice president for academic affairs.

The following students from this area have excelled academically: Ryan Kirtner of Powhatan, a senior majoring in business administration; Eric Martin of Powhatan, a junior majoring in business administration; and Hayley Nye of Powhatan, a senior majoring in nutritional Science.

Students on the Dean’s List have attained a 3.4 or better grade point average out of a possible 4.0.

Debs roll past defending state champs 20-8

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

T

he Powhatan Youth Athletic Association Debs All-Star team faced a tough task in its second game of the Dixie State softball tournament.

On July 14, the Debs faced Prince Edward-Farmville, the two-time defending state champions.

In that game, the Debs were down by six runs at one point.

Even so, contagious hitting led to a powerful offensive explosion as the Debs

won their second game of the tournament by a 20-8 final.

In the win against Prince EdwardFarmville, the Debs hit five home runs.

“We started out a little slow,” coach Marshall Davis said. “We were down 8-2, but like they say hitting is contagious. One girl started hitting, then another started hitting. The next thing you know we’ve hit five home runs in two innings and took the lead. We were on fire that night.”

Davis said that defeating Prince Edward-Farmville was a huge boost to his team.

“They were very excited,” he said. “It was like we had already won the World Series.”

Not only was Prince Edward-Farmville undefeated this season during the tournament, but that team hadn’t lost in either of its previous two state championship runs, according to Davis.

Davis said that the team was created from almost a perfect split between two teams from the regular season.

“I’ve coached them in previous years,” he said. “We’ve had to come together and practice over the last two weeks. I think they’re feeling pretty good. We have a

little bit of pitching and a little bit of hitting. Hopefully it keeps on going.”

While some nights will have one girl stand out for the Debs, such as one hitting two home runs against Prince EdwardFarmville, Davis said that overall the players fill certain niches on the team.

“They all have their particular role,” he said. “I just think they’re coming together and working really well as a team.

They pick each other up when they need to and cheer each other on as well.”

The Debs won against Dinwiddie on July 13 by a score of 11-1 to start off the see DEBS, pg. 3B

Belles All-Stars Alyssa O’Quinn (left) and Brianna Fox (right) combined for three home runs in the first two Dixie state tournament games.

The Powhatan Youth Athletic Association Belles All-Star team last year made its name through small-ball tactics.

Bunting and smart base running were the norm for the quick Belles team.

In 2018, the Belles have taken a different approach, but the results have been the same as the last time the team visited the Dixie softball state tournament.

The Belles have outscored their opponents 35-9 over the first three games of the tournament and have scored doubledigit runs in each of their wins.

“We’re doing pretty well,” head coach Matt O’Quinn said. “As of right now, the girls want it and they’re playing hard. It’s

some of the best softball I’ve seen them play in a long time. They’re getting along really well with each other. The hits are coming and the pitchers are doing exactly what we want them to be doing.”

On July 13, the Belles opened the tournament with a 12-2 win over Amherst.

They followed that game up with a 10-5 win over Clarkesville on July 14.

In the first two games, two different Belles players have hit home runs.

Brianna Fox hit two home runs, one against Amherst and the other against Clarkesville. Alyssa O’Quinn hit a tworun shot against Amherst.

American Legion Post 201’s Cody Willis (14) launched a two-run home run in the bottom of the second inning over the right field fence. The home run scored Josh Dawson and gave Post 201 a 2-1 lead at the time.

Willis, Agee go yard, but Post 201 falls to 284

A

merican Legion Post 201 faced a familiar opponent on July 14 at Powhatan High School—themselves.

Post 201 was scheduled to face Post 125 in its last home game of the season, but Post 125 couldn’t come up with enough players to field a team and were forced to forfeit.

The forfeit brought Post 201’s record to even for the season and the team decided to make the most of the fact that they were already at the field and even had an umpire present.

Post 201 did a seveninning split-squad scrimmage, a welcome respite from the grind of the Legion season.

Head coach Eric Mead said that while the team would have liked to have played an actual game, the practice comes at a key point in the season for the team.

“It’s very good for us,” he said. “To be able to have a red and white intersquad, and we had four or five alumni who are playing college baseball come back and play with us… that just helps us improve our game. It allows our pitchers to stay in their groove in the pitching rotation. It worked out well.”

The scrimmage also came at a good time for Post 201 as they are in the midst of a two-game losing streak.

On July 12, Post 201 lost in extra innings on the road against Post 361.

On July 13, Post 201 hosted Post 284 at Powhatan and while Cody Willis and Cale Agee both hit two-run homers, Post 201 fell to Post 284 7-5.

Willis started on the mound for Post 201 and Post 284 got one on the board early.

The leadoff batter reached for Post 284 and was moved along by a single and a walk.

A wild pitch eventually scored the runner and made it 1-0.

Carter Minnick got the bottom of the first off to a good start for Post 201 with a double to the gap, but was thrown out at third trying to stretch it to a triple.

Post 201 bounced back in the second inning, however.

Josh Dawson led off the inning with a double, followed by Willis depositing a pitch over the right field wall for a two-run shot to catapult Post 201 to a 2-1 lead.

In the bottom of the third, the long ball showed itself again for Post 201.

After Minnick reached on an error with one out in the inning, Cale Agee launched a shot to left-center, which cleared the fence and plated two more for Post 201 for a 4-1 lead.

Post 284 pushed a run across in the top of the fourth, after Willis walked the leadoff batter, who eventually stole second and grabbed third on an error.

The run would score on a fielder’s choice to make it 4-2.

Post 201 loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth on a walk by Willis, a single by Jacob Beil and a walk two batters after Beil by Tommy Preston.

But, Minnick popped out to shortstop to end that threat.

In the top of the fifth inning, Post 284 worked a walk, then another two batters later to put two on with one out.

Willis, who struck out seven batters in his 4 1/3 innings of work, was replaced with one out in the fifth by Hunter Montgomery.

Montgomery allowed an RBI single to the first

batter he faced, which made the score 4-3.

Then, on a stolen base attempt, the throw was wayward from behind the plate for Post 201 and allowed the run to score from third to tie the game at 4-4.

Montgomery escaped the inning without further damage after that.

In the bottom of the fifth, Agee worked a leadoff walk and eventually came around to score off a double by Dawson to make it 5-4 in favor of Post 201.

But, the big inning bit Post 201 once again in the top of the sixth.

Montgomery allowed the first two batters he faced to reach with a single and a walk.

Then, Zach Frame entered the game for Post 201.

Frame hit the first batter he faced, followed by a wild pitch which scored a run from third to make it 5-5.

Halfway through just the second batter he faced, Frame was pulled from the game by Mead in favor of Agee.

Agee allowed a bloop single to no-man’s land between the infield and outfield, which scored a run to make it 6-5. Another score scored on an error in the inning to make it 7-5.

Down by two runs, Post 201 was unable to find traction against Post 284’s sidearm relief pitcher.

Of the final eight atbats for Post 201, five of them resulted in strikeouts.

Mead said that the problems he sees in the team aren’t anything that is unknown or unable to be overcome.

American Legion Post 201’s Cale Agee (2) celebrates with coach Eric Mead as Agee rounds third and heads for home following his two-run home run against Post 284 on July 13 at Powhatan High School. Agee hit his homer to left-centerfield and scored Carter Minnick as well.

gled with that all year long. When we can get that middle guy to come in and be able to shut it down and we do very well in those games. We just happen to have had four games to where, in the fifth inning, we run out of pitching and we can’t overcome it and give up too many free bases.”

Mead said that he’s happy with the offensive production, such as the two home runs hit against Post 284, but in those games when the pitching struggles, the bats tend to follow suit.

“Our offense has really carried us,” Mead said.

“One thing that we’ve got to get over is when we have that bad inning. We tend to dry up our bats in the middle of the game as well. We come out of the chute very well. We’ve been hitting the ball really well in the beginning of every single game. We’re outhitting our opponents in the first four innings.

The problem is the middle-to-end of the games,

which is where we’re struggling.”

Post 201 was scheduled to face Post 137 on July 16 and will travel to Atlee High School on July 18 to play Post 175, the only undefeated team in the district as of the time of this publication.

After Post 175, however, the race in the rest of District 11 is tight among the teams.

“I think the big thing is to try and get one win out of those games,” Mead said. “We’d like to set ourselves up for the opportunity to be in third place in the district. We want to stay out of that fourthplace team. If we can come out strong and get a way against 137, then play a good game against 175, who is undefeated right now. The whole thing is about having momentum at the end. I think we’re playing really good baseball. We have the talent on the team. I hope these last two games will give us the push we need to get to the end.”

The District 11 tournament begins on July 21 and will go through July 25.

The games will be played at the site of the higher seed, which Post 201 would have a strong chance of hosting at least two games should they acquire the third overall seed as Mead hopes.

The District 11 finals are scheduled for July 27.

Last season, Post 201 went on a run during the District 11 playoffs, which ended in the quarterfinal round against Post 125.

JUNIORS On July 13, Post 201’s Juniors team hit the road and played against Post 125, which ended in a win for Post 201 by a score of 15-5.

Jake Burton was 4 for 5 in the win.

On July 15, Post 201 played a double-header in Spotsylvania, the results of which were not available at by the time of production of this issue.

The Powhatan volleyball camp took over the gym at Powhatan High School from July 9-12, offering drills and the teaching of skills to campers in attendance. Powhatan volleyball players such as Jordan Davis (center) led the camp.

Volleyball camp offers lessons for all in attendance

P

owhatan’s varsity volleyball season begins in less than a month with a scrimmage against Grafton on Aug. 14.

The schedule’s regular season slate opens on Aug. 22 against Hanover at Powhatan.

While both of those days are still down the road, the gym at Powhatan High School was alive and well with volleyballs flying every which way during the volleyball camp that took place from July 9-13.

The camp is a playerrun event, with both current and former Powhatan volleyball players pitching in to help the youth of the area learn the game and get into the pipeline to continue the winning ways of Indians volleyball.

But, Lunenburg proved to be a bit of a bump in the road for the Debs as they lost to Lunenburg 9-7 on July 15.

The loss to Lunenburg dropped the Debs down into the consolation

Coach Amber Foos said that having the players run the camp makes a huge impact upon the young campers in attendance.

“These younger girls look up to our players,” she said. “I told (the players) that this is for you all to get these girls interested in volleyball. You see all the time that kids are interested in basketball or softball. Volleyball can be one of those sports that get pushed off to the side because it’s hard to play.

These kids, from a young age, may not understand that rules. But, to work one-on-one or in a group setting like this, they see these girls and they get a chance to watch them play.

They look up to them and it sparks a light in them saying ‘I want to be like (the players)’ one day.”

Foos noted that some current Indians players,

such as Maddie Turner and Jordan Davis, came up through the volleyball camp and got to the point of playing varsity volleyball for Powhatan.

“They were these kids at camp years ago, and now look at them,” she said. “It gives (the campers) this belief of that they can do this.”

The camp also serves as a baseline of community building for volleyball in the county.

Campers who wear their shirts to Powhatan for the volleyball team’s regular season games get in free.

“Even after camp is over with, we still make that connection of saying ‘hey, come to a game and check it out,’” Foos said.

“A lot of the sixth, seventh and eighth graders who come to this camp, will try out for the middle school team and get into the pipe-

line. These kids get excited and they want to be these older girls.”

Foos said that she doesn’t do a lot of instruction during the camp because that emulation of campers to the varsity players especially translates to the campers wanting to learn from the older player as well. She told her players that it was similar to when they attend camps at colleges, like James Madison, and they look up to the college players.

“Some of these kids want to be (the older players,)” she said. “That’s the kind of rapport I want to be set up. That’s the message we want to send.”

Building that rapport of player to camper is important in the game of volleyball, which sometimes can be a tough one to approach and start to go down the road of learning the necessary skills.

“This game can be frustrating, especially at a young age because it’s hard to pass a ball and set it,” Foos said. “But, if you can make that connection, they’ll come back year after year. And then, they’ll play club, then try out for the middle school team and then try out for the high school team. You’ll get some of these girls where this is where it starts and it starts with the players being role models and making connections with the kids.”

Some of the players that assisted with the camp were recently graduated players, showing some early gaps that Foos will have to contend with once the season rolls around.

“It’s going to be an interesting season,” she said.

“We have a veteran team for sure. These are my seniors, the ones that I came in with as freshman. It’s

our year to maybe shake and bake and do some things.”

Powhatan’s season ended last year in the Region 4B semifinals against Midlothian in four sets. At one point in the fourth set, the Indians were one point away from winning set four and forcing a decisive fifth set.

While it is still early, Foos said that she’s already started looking around the region and noticing the lineup holes that other teams have to contend with, such as Kylie Tuxford having graduated from Hanover’s lineup.

“It puts a light in their eyes and they’re thinking we have an opportunity this year,” Foos said.

“Jamestown even graduated some people. These seniors really have the mentality that they want to get some things done this year.”

The Debs faced Dinwiddie, the team that they defeated in the first game of the tournament, on July 16 in an elimination game.

The result of that game occurred past the print deadline for this edition.

If the Debs defeated Dinwiddie, they would continue through the consolation bracket and

would await the winner of melon parties and such. the winner’s bracket Just to bring the team togame.

Davis said that his team’s bond is a strong one which has gotten them to where they are now.

“We just get there and start warming up,” he said. “During the practice time we have little team bonding stuff, like water-

gether. We’ve done things as a team up until now and

we’ll keep doing things as a team from here on out.”

Powhatan field hockey clinic continues growth

PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN

Powhatan High School hosted a field hockey camp at the high school from July 9-13, which showcases the continued growth of and interest in the game in the county. Current Powhatan players, such as Danielle Bigham (center) were in attendance as the main instructors for different drills, such as how to work upfield against defenders, how to handle the ball through traffic, among others. The Indians varsity field hockey team will participate in the first scrimmage of the 2018 season on Aug. 13 against Clover Hill.

Basdikis, Gilbert play in VHSCA All-Star game

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

T

wo recently graduated seniors from Powhatan had the chance to wear their high school colors one last time.

Powhatan softball players Mason Basdikis and Tori Gilbert both were selected to play in the Virginia High School Coaches Association softball All-Star game in Hampton on July 11.

Basdikis and Gilbert were on the East team, which won 16-4.

Both players were selected as first-team AllClass 4 and Basdikis was a first-team All-Metro selection as well.

Basdikis said that she felt she played well in the game. She went 2 for 2 at the plate.

“I was happy with my performance,” she wrote in an email. “I also got to play shortstop rather than pitch, which was great

parture from their style a season ago, but he’s happy that it continues to result in wins.

“The long ball is something that we’ve never had,” he said. “We cruised to be the state runner-up last year playing small ball. We don’t really thrive on the long

considering I’m used to always pitching.”

Gilbert went 2 for 3 at the plate in the game for the East.

“I think I played pretty well,” she wrote in an email. “I had some action in the outfield, which was fun to play again since I didn’t play it during the season this year.”

The teams were formed by selections from teams in each region of the Virginia High School League.

Gilbert and Basdikis got to play alongside and against players from all across the state.

Basdikis wrote that it carried “a different vibe” than normal.

“I enjoyed it,” she wrote. “It was cool to play with different people and pick up how they carried themselves in a game rather than what I’m used to.”

“It was cool getting to play with great players from so many different schools,” Gilbert wrote.

For both players, it was the last time they would

wear Powhatan colors before joining their college softball teams.

“It was kind of sad, but also bittersweet,” Basdikis wrote of wearing her Indians jersey for the last time.

“I knew that this was the last time I’d wear it and after this my high school chapter would officially be closed.”

Gilbert also wrote that it was a chapter closing moment for her as well.

“It was a really great feeling to be able to play one last game in the jersey that I have enjoyed playing in for four years,” she wrote.

Basdikis has already begun her preparations for joining the Lancers in the fall.

“I got to a trainer four times a week and am playing travel ball,” Basdikis wrote. “I’m excited about going, but it’s definitely going to be an adjustment.

It’s a (mix) of excited and nervous…more hoping that I do well there, mesh well with the team and fulfill Coach (Kathy) Riley’s

ball. But, that’s what’s happening right now.

We’re having these deep drives and base-clearing home runs.”

Also, in the first two games in particular, the outfield has stood out for the Belles.

“Even though we’re rolling over these teams, these teams are hitting the ball really hard,” O’Quinn said. “They’re hitting it in the gaps. Our

outfielders are making catches that would end up on ESPN if there were a camera crew there.

That’s really demoralizing for another team. You get this great gap hit with runners on base and then this outfielder makes a diving catch, it really brings their momentum down. The long ball and the outfield catches are really standing out.”

On July 15, the Belles

Powhatan’s Mason Basdikis (5) and Tori Gilbert (2) were selected for the Virginia High School Coaches Association softball All-Star game, which was played in Hampton in July 11.

expectations of me.”

Gilbert, meanwhile, has already arrived in Charlottesville and is taking a class while also working out with the Cavaliers.

“I am so excited,” she wrote.

Both players wrote that there was plenty they

would remember about their time at Powhatan.

“The quote ‘tradition never graduates,’ and all of Coach (Linda) Farmer’s quotes,” Basdikis wrote. “You run when you’re told to run, unless you want to run more and that even when you don’t agree with some things

you are told to do, you do them because this doesn’t only apply in softball. It applies in life.”

“I loved how we worked so hard to get to state each year,” Gilbert wrote. “(We) continued to get better every year. I also will remember all of the friendships I made.”

continued their winning streak with a 13-2 win over Farmville.

O’Quinn said that the team has hit its peak at just the right time, at the beginning of the tournament, and have carried that momentum through the first three games.

“Being able to hit that peak is important,” he said. “Staying there is the problem. You don’t want to peak too early and you don’t want to peak at the end. If you peak at the end, you won’t really get there. So, you want to aim high, but you have to keep that momentum going. So far, the girls have done it. They’ve played better softball because of the district tournament. I think these girls feel a little bit of stress, which can be a good thing. You can either hang your head or rise to the occasion and that’s what these kids are doing. I’m really proud of them.”

Between the district and state tournaments, O’Quinn scheduled at least one scrimmage against travel ball teams

that his team hadn’t seen before.

While they were coached scrimmages, so not a complete live-ball exercise, the goal was still achieved of seeing different styles of pitching that they hadn’t seen before, which has benefitted the team greatly.

“Being able to see live pitching over a coach pitching was a big deal,” O’Quinn said. “It wasn’t a competitive game, just all about getting out there and seeing some live pitching. Our girls, they’ve been scrimmaging each other and playing against each other as individual (recreational) teams for about four years now. They’re so used to that other pitcher, they kind of know what to expect. So, we wanted to bring in some pitchers that they hadn’t seen. I think that really helps because you’re seeing all kinds of different pitchers. That’s why I wanted to bring in that travel team. It really helped us and really built the girls’ confidence up.”

The Belles continued their tournament play on July 14 and 15 as they worked their way through the bracket.

As a double-elimination tournament, the Belles are in a great position entering the games on July 14 and 15 as they haven’t lost a game yet.

But, if O’Quinn and his team have anything to say about it, the Belles will keep their undefeated mark through the rest of the tournament.

O’Quinn said that the key is not to “over teach” at this point in the season.

“The whole spring season was the time to teach,” he said. “Now is the time to play. I’ll give them some pointers, but we don’t want to break down every game, saying here’s what we did wrong or how we’re going to correct it. Practice is over now. It’s game time.

We’re trying not to over teach during these games.

Even if they make a mistake, we just roll it off and move on. We just need to keep focused on the game.”
