Richmond Region Tourism visits Powhatan

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – The organization that is going to help bring Powhatan to a wider audience recently started getting to know the county a little better.

The first of two teams representing Richmond Region Tourism (RRT) took a tour of Powhatan on Friday, July 27 to get a good introduction to the county that they will be helping promote. The second team will visit later in August.

Powhatan and Ashland counties became a member of the destination marketing and tourism organization effective July 1, joining the counties of Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico and the city of Richmond in the nonprofit organization that offers services to support the area’s hospitality industry.

Richmond Region Tourism employees and county staff visited several sites in Powhatan to start formulating how the group will promote tourism. One of the stops was The Mill at Fine Creek.

The purpose of bringing RRT staff members out for a county tour was to start introducing them to the great things

Powhatan has to offer, said Roxanne Salerno, the county’s economic development program manager.

The tour made stops at a selection of some of Powhatan’s bigger tourism draws, such as Powhatan State Park, Maidens

CUMBERLAND – A specially appointed judge this week denied an injunction brought by a Cumberland County resident to stop the Cumberland Board of Supervisors from taking any further action regarding the approval of a proposed landfill pending a referendum being held.

Retired circuit court Judge Melvin R. Hughes Jr. presided over the hearing on Monday, July 30 regarding an injunction sought by Bill Bruce of Cumberland. Hughes was appointed by the Virginia Supreme Court after several local judges recused them-

selves. About 85 people attended the hearing.

On June 15, Bruce had begun the process to add a referendum about a landfill being proposed right off of Route 60 in Cumberland near the Powhatan County line. Bruce wanted the ballot in the November general election to have the question: “Should the Board of Supervisors of Cumberland County, Virginia be allowed to approve the building of a landfill within the County Limits without a Voters Referendum?”

A motion to dismiss on the basis of lack of subject matter jurisdiction was filed by attorney L. Lee Byrd on June 15 on behalf of the board of supervisors. It asked for “an emergency hearing on the Motion to Dismiss prior to the Clerk’s certification.”

The hearing on the motion to dismiss was moved up from its original Aug. 23 date and scheduled to be heard on Tuesday, Aug. 7, which occurred after press time. When the county announced it would hold a meeting on Aug. 2 to “consider the Green Ridge

Host Community Agreement,” a special hearing regarding Bruce’s request for an injunction was scheduled on July 30.

After listening to arguments from both Byrd and Bruce, Hughes told them he would take all of the documentation they had provided for review and issue a decision the next day. Byrd shared a copy of the letter issued by the judge in which Hughes outlined the two sides’ arguments and gave his reason to deny Bruce’s s request for injunctive relief.

He also said Bruce had not “demonstrated immediate or imminent harm which proof is required before the Court can act by the extraordinary remedy of an injunction.” He pointed out that since getting approval at the local level is followed by roughly 18 months of permitting process by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality in which there are “political and regulatory processes in place which would allow those in opposition to express their views.”

After the injunction was desee LANDFILL pg. 6

Landing, Foundry Golf Club, Mill at Fine Creek, and Independence Golf Club, she said.

They also stopped to get a preview of the upcoming Three Crosses Distillery, which was not open yet.

And while they were driving to these sites, county staff were pointing out other attractions and the RRT had the opportunity to see some of Powhatan’s beautiful rural landscapes, Salerno added.

“Because they are going to represent us and they are going to promote us for tourism, they need to see tourism in the county and they need to see the county because a lot of them are not familiar with it. So we took them to sites that are the more popular sites. We would love to take them to every site but there is just not enough time in the day,” Salerno said during the see TOURISM, pg. 3

Rochelle dives into role as social services director

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – For someone who has only been on the job a little over a month, Powhatan County’s new director of social services, Sharon Rochelle, hasn’t wasted any time diving right into her duties.

Rochelle began work on June 27 and had a plan for how she wanted to approach her new position.

She started meeting the heads of the different county departments and local agencies. She tagged along with some of her staff members as they went out into the community on home visits to see how things are done here.

She scheduled visits with social services directors from neighboring counties and is already looking ahead to her first conference with the Virginia League of Directors in October.

She began studying Vir-

POWHATAN – Powhatan’s public safety communications officers last week reaffirmed the gravity of the responsibilities inherent in their jobs when they took an oath of office.

The oath was administered

by Rene Holy, deputy clerk for the Powhatan County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office, at the board of supervisors meeting on Monday, July 30.

The brief oath of office made by six of Powhatan’s 17 emergency 911 dispatchers took only a few minutes, but its significance still needed to be underscored, Tom Nolan, director of the department of public safety communications, told the supervisors. He pointed out that those staff members who could not be at

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors heard last week that the four road projects it will submit this fall in hopes the county will be awarded state funding to move them forward have all passed the prescreening stage.

Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, updated the supervisors about the four project’s they voted on in May to submit to Virginia’s SMART Scale program. He told the board at its meeting on Monday, July 30 that all four had passed the prescreening stage offered by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) before the applications were formally submitted for consideration by the deadline of Aug. 1.

The four projects that the board selected were: Carter Gallier extension Phase II – new road construction would connect Carter Gallier Boulevard (Route 1343) with Luck Stone Road (Route 1351), completing a parallel road to Route 60.

Projected Cost: $6,320,550.

Dorset Road/Route 60 intersection – re-alignment and additional lanes would be constructed on Dorset Road (Route 622) at its intersection with Anderson Highway (Route 60). Projected Cost: $3,653,100.

Judes Ferry Road/Route 60 intersection – an additional turn lane would be constructed on Anderson Highway (Route 60) at its intersection with Judes Ferry Road (Route 613) as well as an additional lane constructed along Judes Ferry Road from Route 60 to Batterson Road (Route 677). Projected Cost: $1,847,200.

Judes Ferry/Route 711 intersection – re-alignment of the intersection of Judes Ferry Road (Route 614) and Huguenot Trail (Route 711). This project would also include improvements to Huguenot Trail from Judes Ferry west to Bourbon Lane (Route 664) and east to St. Mary’s Way (Route 1270). Projected Cost: $9,235,500.

Schardein said the one projected that needed clarification was the board’s decision regarding the Judes Ferry/Route 711 intersection. At the May meeting the board also asked for the prescreening to include an option on that project that included a roundabout.

While both versions of that plan passed prescreening, he mentioned that cost is a factor in the SMART Scale program and that the roundabout option is $1.4 million more.

The board had a lengthy discussion on the merits of both options, including which would be most effective in slowing traffic down and improving turning conditions at the intersection, the least intrusive for surrounding property owners, the safest, and in keeping with the fact that 711 is a scenic byway in a rural area.

They also talked about how the cost

might affect the project’s chances of receiving funding.

County administrator Ted Voorhees warned that because of the way the projects are scored, neither option is expected to have a high chance of receiving the funding and that the county is submitting other projects that are expected to have a better chance.

While the board wasn’t in full agreement on the decision, because they needed to make a decision before the deadline, they ultimately voted 3-1 in favor of choosing the option without roundabouts.

Chairman Carson Tucker, District 5, was absent and Angie Cabell, District 3, voted against the motion. Bill Melton, District 4, had argued for the roundabout option but said he would support the other option to move the project along.

Other items handled at the meeting included: The lack of a tie breaker meant a few of the items that came before the board had to be tabled until the next meeting because they were split down the middle. Two public hearings held by the board faced a divided 2-2 vote that meant they couldn’t move forward. Tucker was not able to attend, taking away what potentially would have been the deciding vote on each issue.

During the first tied public hearing, Shiflett Construction Services Inc. requested an amendment of the proffer statement for two parcels within the Mill Station subdivision by reducing the cash proffer amount from $7,236 to $1,880.

Proffer reduction has been an ongoing issue for a few years with the board and David Williams, District 1, and Larry Nordvig, District 2, have consistently voted against reducing proffers because of the lost revenue. Tucker usually votes for reducing them, so without his vote, the motion stalled and will be held over until the next meeting.

The board also considered a public hearing for the amendment and reenactment of the part of the Subdivision Ordinance dealing with the definition of flag lots to modify the definition of lot, flag to permit parcels created as part of a single cut subdivision to be platted as flag lots.

Five people spoke during the public hearing, all asking the board to allow flag lots in certain cases. The scenarios they discussed all involved longtime landowners who view their land as a retirement fund selling off a single piece of their property but using a flag lot so they can still have road access to the part of their property they are keeping.

Melton talked about how the board’s original discussion in November 2016 when taking flag lots out involved allowing these existing landowners to still have this parent tract option since the purpose of doing away with flag lots was not to harm their interest but to keep at-profit developers from dividing up land that way. He argued that is more in keeping with the rural character of Powhatan than requiring a huge setback for a road lead-

ing to the back part of the property.

Williams said this type of development doesn’t align with the current comprehensive plan, saying it leads to additional development opportunities within rural areas, which is not protecting them.

It could result in multiple driveways close to each other, which could impact traffic.

He said he was standing by his decision to not allow them at all.

Ultimately the board was divided again with Williams and Nordvig voting against putting this amendment in the Subdivision Code, so the case will be heard at the next meeting.

The board voted unanimously to approve a request for rezoning from Residential – Commercial (R-C) to Commerce Center (CC) for 3.4 acres of land located at 2117 Anderson Highway, which is at the intersection of U.S. Route 60 (Anderson Highway) and State Route 1342 (South Creek One). The applicant is proposing retail space (auto parts store) and a restaurant with drive-through service. These uses would be accessed from the existing signalized intersection.

The applicant submitted a conceptual plan (dated May 18, 2018) showing how development may occur on the site, said Andrew Pompei, planning director. He noted that this conceptual plan has not been proffered by the applicant.

If the projects move forward, they will still have to submit site plans and building designs that adhere to the Development Design Pattern Book, which the planning commission is charged with creating.

Before the board approved the rezoning, the supervisors insisted on having a proffer in writing that the property should have a continuous service drive that extends the entire length of the project and allows adjoining properties access to the signalized intersection. The service drive must be wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic.

Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission chairman Frank Flannagan gave an update on the commission’s progress. He said the group is in the process of amending its bylaws, has developed its mission statement and updated its web page. They are working on developing a field name policy and have started developing a plan for generating a Master Recreation Plan, and have scheduled a meeting with the former state park director, Joe Elton, in August to seek his advice.

The board received information but did not take action on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Powhatan County and VDOT regarding the enforcement of access management standards. Since the county does not have its own transportation engineer, VDOT will continue assisting Powhatan County in the review of subdivision plats and site plans to help ensure compliance with local and state regulations. The MOU will formalize the review process and establish the roles and responsibilities for both VDOT and the county.

YMCA garden nourishes the community Contributed Report

T

he Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA is seeing the fruits of their labor. As a firm advocate of healthy living, the Y has been operating its own community garden.

The garden began after a volunteer, Wendy Hager, suggested that the Y give youth an opportunity to learn about gardening and fresh vegetables.

“I’d heard of community gardens before and thought it would be great to do that here and teach families how to grow their own healthy food,” said Hager.

Years later, with the support of volunteers like Wendy as well as Greg Vieira, Chuck Crow, Ray Arritt, Lisa Bennett and others, the garden has flourished. Watkins Nurseries and RC Goodwyn and Sons Inc. have also been benefactors to this

group’s lunch break.

Katherine O’Donnell, RRT vice president of community relations, said she and her team had a great day exploring Powhatan and finding out the different tourism products the county has to offer. She said she already saw some new and different offerings than what people would find in other parts of the region. One example she gave was the Mill at Fine Creek having cottages and a brewery on site together with the venue.

“We have great breweries across the region, but none of them are offering the same type of lodging opportunities,” she said.

“That is really neat. For us, finding the things that are different are often the interesting stories for media and for travelers trying something new. We see a lot of potential in the resources Powhatan has for tourism.”

She also gave examples such as doing more to develop agritourism and equestrian resources that many other localities don’t have.

O’Donnell said her team will focus on helping local businesses engage in tourism and learn how to use RRT’s marketing tools to attract visitors. Since Powhatan is a member organization, local tourism-related businesses will have the opportunity to put listings on RRT’s website for free and easily update the information with current photos, events and specials to remain relevant.

Part of that work will involve meeting with business owners to help them understand how to use the tools. They have discussed holding workshops for that purpose but haven’t nailed down the details yet, she said.

Other groups will also be allowed to put their tourism related events on the website, whether it is the already well-known Festival of the Grape or something distinctly small-town Powhatan such as the Powhatan Labor Day Parade.

“Sometimes events aren’t always the reason people travel somewhere, but when they are here

endeavor, donating lumber and soil each year.

“It’s been wonderful to have our volunteers come together in this manner and grow various items like tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and zucchini,” said Adam Foster, executive director of the Powhatan YMCA. “It really is a testament to the people of this great community that they are spending their time and effort to see this garden flourish.”

“The garden gives me a sense of community because it is a group effort.

Just as a garden needs good soil and water, the Y needs the right people to make it work, and we have them. Ray Arritt, Chuck Crow, and Lisa Bennett fit the need. We also have Wendy Hager and her friends who weed and water. Last, but not least, is Adam Foster, the executive director at the Y, who ‘fosters’ this collaboration.

My mother told me about the Victory gardens that

they want to know what is going on and check out events. So you might not decide to come to the Richmond region because of the Powhatan Labor Day Parade, but if you are here at that time, you might decide to go to it,” O’Donnell said. “Visitors want to do what locals do, so they want to go and experience a place that is authentic and different from where they live. I think Powhatan offers that, especially with some of those small town events.”

The public relations team, which will be on the August tour, will be looking at potential features that can be pitched

to different media, while digital marketing will be taking photos and gathering materials to start promoting the county, she said.

“Going out and acquiring content is really important to us. Part of our job is inspiring travel to the area, and to do so we need to understand what there is to do here,” O’Donnell said.

The July 27 tour was not the organization’s first foray into Powhatan, Salerno added. The organization’s sports development team had already visited earlier in July to look at all the fields that are available in Powhatan.

They use that information to begin marketing the county as a host for tournaments in sports such as baseball, softball, soccer, and lacrosse.

These and other resources Richmond Re-

people planted during World War II. I think that this garden is a victory for our community,” said Greg Vieira, volunteer.

Of course, the children love it, too. In May, participants in the YMCA After-School program helped dig holes, plant, and water the vegetables. In June and July, Camp Arrowhead campers have helped continue to maintain the garden. Once the vegetables begin to grow, campers will have the opportunity to eat them as a healthy snack at camp or take them home to cook with their family. All members will have the opportunity to take vegetables home as well.

This summer, the Y plans on delivering some of the vegetables to the first responders in the county as well as a local food pantry. Organizers are thankful for the passion and dedication of the wonderful volunteers who have helped the local Y

strengthen the foundations of the Powhatan community.

“A vine-ripened tomato, still warm from the afternoon sun, is a garden treat no one should miss.

There are numerous variations in tomatoes in color, size, shape, and flavor, from small cherry tomatoes to giant beefsteak tomatoes. They, and many other vegetables, can be found in the Powhatan garden,” said Ray Arritt, volunteer.

“The Garden at the Powhatan Y is a great project. When we choose to pick vegetables, and distribute to our senior groups like the Friendship Cafe, members, and youth in child care, I felt like people were benefitting from our efforts,” said Lisa Bennett, volunteer.

“I really enjoy working at the Powhatan YMCA garden with my friends.

Several years ago, during my daily workouts at the YMCA, I met Ray Arritt,

who suggested that I volunteer as one of the gardeners at the YMCA. I did and I have enjoyed the garden, gardeners, Y staff and the children (junior gardeners). Volunteering at the Powhatan YMCA garden is one of my simple joys and is a real pleasure,” said Charles Crow, volunteer.

“The garden has been a blessing to everyone and we hope to keep that going for a very long time,” said Hager.

Richmond Region Tourism employees and county staff visited several sites in Powhatan to start formulating how the group will promote tourism. Some of the stops included on the tour included the Three Crosses Distillery, top left, the yurts at Powhatan State Park, top right, and The Brewery at Fine Creek, below. Other stops on the tour were Maidens Landing, Foundry Golf Club and Independence Golf Club, where the group ate lunch at Tavern 19.

gion Tourism offers are what made it the right choice to take advantage of their expertise rather than trying to hire someone in-house, said Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator.

The Richmond Region Tourism plan is to offer a discounted $20,000 rate for the first year and then increase $10,000 annually until reaching $50,000 in the fourth year, he said.

“This allowed us to tap into the resources, their expertise much cheaper than we would be able to pay somebody full-time to do it. The reach they have and the industries they work with, we wouldn’t be able to touch that. Even if we paid somebody in-house, there is no way one person could have the resources they do as an organization,” Schardein said.

The good thing about the way RRT brings to-

gether different localities to promote tourism is that it really is a collaboration model, O’Donnell said. In many other destinations, one county or city is going at it alone.

“By having the six jurisdictions pool their resources we can go to market as the Richmond Region and still have all the content underneath everybody’s places. It really is more effective and we are able to leverage the dollars to go for advertising,” she said.

As far as measuring the results of RRT’s efforts, O’Donnell said the organization uses several measures to track benchmarks and assess the effectiveness of their work.

“We provide annual updates as requested by any of our funding jurisdictions. We usually present to the board of supervisors at the end of the fiscal year on how the year is going and we would be happy to do that for Powhatan,” she said.

Schardein concurred that even though membership is great value, staff will be making sure it is still a good use of taxpayer dollars. Some of the measured success will probably come from testimonials from local businesses and organizations, he said.

Schardein added that the representatives of the businesses RRT visited during the tour had good questions and demonstrated well that Powhatan has a good deal to offer

visitors.

“A couple of people mentioned the pride in the county. Every single business proprietor we met with, it was obvious the pride they had in the county and how welcoming they were,” he said.

“That is something you hear from our citizens as well – how much pride there is in Powhatan. So I think that resonated.”

Local students join SEC on National Electric Cooperative Youth Tour Contributed Report

A

Powhatan County student was among eight local high school students from Southside Electric Cooperative’s service territory who were selected from a diverse group of applicants to enjoy an all-expensespaid trip to Washington, D.C. from June 10 to 14 as part of the 54th annual Electric Cooperative Youth Tour.

Trevor Leonard of Powhatan County and seven others joined 1,800 rising seniors from across the United States on the trip. The other students were Sarah Cline, Campbell County; Autumn Holman, Cumberland County; Helen Strigel, Lunenburg County; Irene Thornton, Prince Edward County; Rachel Wells, Amelia County; McKaellen Wilkerson, Nottoway County, and Kendall Williams, Amelia County.

Together with SEC chaperones Mark Thomas and Lloyd Lenhart, they

cation officers who violate or misuse this information are exposed to criminal charges or at the minimum termination, he said.

Nolan said he asked county administrator Ted Voorhees for the opportunity for some of the dispatchers to be sworn in.

With the implementation of the new computer aided dispatch (CAD) system this summer and dealing with VCIN and DMV access issues, he said he was reminded of the level of responsibility placed on communication officers.

Holy led them in an oath to “support the Constitution of the United States of America and the

spent a week touring Washington and learning how critical it is to become involved in the legislative process and in their local communities.

“Youth Tour was such an awesome opportunity for not only learning about cooperatives and the political process, but forming lifelong friendships,” Cline said. “I loved learning about how much of an impact cooperatives have on our society and how many there actually are.”

SEC’s students explored key issues in the electric industry, studied the cooperative business model and interacted with students in team building programs. During their visit to Capitol Hill, the students met with U.S. Rep. Dave Brat and U.S. Rep. Tom Garrett, and enjoyed a guided tour of the U.S. Capitol Building.

They also visited a variety of historical and cultural sites in the nation’s capital, including the Jefferson Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Fort

McHenry and the Newseum. Among fun activities the students enjoyed were a twilight cruise on the Potomac, a Baltimore Orioles baseball game and a live performance of “The Scottsboro Boys.”

“This week is such a great opportunity to change these students’ lives,” said Lenhart. “This experience helps prepare them for their futures. After touring our nation’s capital, meeting congressional representatives and learning firsthand about how our government operates, they return home with knowledge they may not have learned anywhere else at this age, and memories that will last a lifetime.”

Youth Tour was inspired by Sen. Lyndon Baines Johnson when he addressed the NRECA Annual Meeting in 1957.

The senator and future president declared, "If one thing goes out of this meeting, it will be sending youngsters to the national capital where they can actually see what the

Commonwealth of Virginia” and “faithfully and impartially discharge all of the duties incumbent” on them as communications officers.

Nolan said in a separate interview that the oath of qualifications represents the correlation of the duties and responsibilities required for law enforcement, firefighters and public safety communications officers.

Communications officers have to pass a criminal history background check; have mandated training through DCJS Communication Officers training standards, and work holidays, weekends, inclement weather or snow days, Nolan said.

They are on duty 24/7 365 days a year.

“Communication officers have a tremendous level of responsibility to our public safety responders and the citizens we serve. We consider our communications officers the first of the first responders. They receive and relay critical communications, required to process the data instantly and accurately and their decisions have and do save property and lives,” he said.

Communications officer Rebekah Mann, who has worked for the county for three years, said she was honored and privileged to have been asked to take the oath for Powhatan Public Safety Communications and participated with the group at the board meeting.

“The responsibility to the citizens and public safety responders is something that is not to be taken lightly. While the duties of communications officers are great the safety of all is most important,” she said.

Motorcycle ride to benefit Lonesome Dove Contributed Report

S

teel Warriors Veterans MC is raising funds for the Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center in Powhatan and is inviting the community to come out and help.

The club will hold its fifth annual Horses for Heroes Ride to benefit Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center in Powhatan on Saturday, Sept. 1. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and kickstands up at 11 a.m., departing from West Creek Athletic Sport Complex, 12575 West Creek Parkway, Henrico, VA 23238.

Lonesome Dove, located at 6137 Old Buckingham Road, Powhatan, helps veterans overcome their physical and mental impairments through horseback activities and achievement.

McGuire Veterans Hospital brings these veterans to the Center four to eight times per month. The staff is able to get them on horseback to help restore their confidence in themselves.

Most, if not all, the riders leave with smiles on their faces and the desire to return as soon as they possibly can.

Every year Steel Warriors sponsors the ride from the Richmond area to the center, where they enjoy entertainment, food and fun provided by the Lonesome Dove staff. Those who ride motorcycles are more than wel-

come to join the club for the ride.

Ride details can be found on the group’s Facebook page, Steel Warriors MC – Battlefield Chapter. Cost is $20 per rider and $10 per passenger.

For those of you wishing to come out and see the center feel free to do so. Lunch and door prize entry for nonriders is $5. Additional information can be found on Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center Facebook page.

Whether you are able to join us or not, the club asks people to consider donating to this cause. All services provided at the center are free to the veterans and no compensation is received from the VA or government.

All the activities are donation driven and the staff is all volunteer. All funds are used for the maintenance of the property and animals. Any amount, whether it be $5 or $500, will be greatly appreciated by this group of dedicated Americans. All donations are tax deductable.

The event is rain or shine. It includes lunch, live music by 2G Band, vendors, and door prizes. A 50-50 raffle will be held. For more information, contact 301-807-9305, visit the Steel Warriors MC- Battlefield Chapter Facebook page or visit www.steelwarriorsmc.org.

community help each other.

The number of volunteers is amazing,” she said.

That admiration was definitely extended to her new staff, whom she said she said she has been observing since she started. What she has found is that they “know their stuff.”

“They are very committed.

They do an excellent job. I am not just saying this – if they see something needs to be done, they get it done,” she said. “I think that is where the commitment and passion comes in and it is very refreshing for me.

They are and have been a pleasure to work with.”

Rochelle said she never had the intention to come in and immediately start changing things.

She wanted to learn about the county, the department and the people and evaluate where she saw room for improvement and what was working well.

After several weeks on the job, she said there are certain programs that will receive more attention in the near future.

The Family First Prevention Services Act that was signed into law as part of the Bipartisan Budget Act on Feb. 9 re-

forms the federal child welfare financing streams to provide services to families who are at risk of entering the child welfare system. The bill aims to prevent children from entering foster care by allowing federal reimbursement for mental health services, substance use treatment, and in-home parenting skill training. It also seeks to improve the well-being of children already in foster care by incentivizing states to reduce placement of children in congregate care.

“We are going to have to make sure we have evidencebased preventive programs, and enough foster parents if a child can’t stay with their parents and don’t have kin to go with. The one thing you want to do is keep them as close to home as possible. The further a child gets from their home and their parents, you lose that engagement piece,” Rochelle said.

Increasing recruitment for quality foster care providers will also be a priority because of this, Rochelle said. Even without the Family First Act, finding more people in the county willing to open their homes to children in need was a priority.

LANDFILL Continued from pg. 1

nied, the Cumberland supervisors briefly met as planned on Aug. 2 and voted 3-2 in favor of ratifying the host community agreement with changes that had been made.

Voting in favor of the host agreement were William F. Osl Jr., who represents District 1; David Meinhard, District 4, and Parker Wheeler, District 5. Chairman Kevin Ingle, District 3, and Lloyd Banks Jr., District 2, voted against it.

Considering an injunction During the injunction hearing, Bruce’s argument had centered on the claim that the voices of the citizens of Cumberland were not being heard. He cited a legal but “unprecedented” rushed timeline to push through County Waste of Virginia’s applications for rezoning and a conditional use permit (CUP) for its proposal to build Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility. A community meeting, three planning commission meetings and a board of supervisors meeting solely on this subject were all held in a window between June 7 and June 28.

The two applications were passed by the supervisors in split votes on June 28 at the end of a six-hour meeting. The board also voted that night to pass a host agreement contingent on three points that had to be worked out between the company and the county. Those three points were what was approved at the Aug. 2 meeting.

“We believe that our board of supervisors and the timeline rushed this process, along with the planning and zoning,” Bruce said. “It is unprecedented to have so many meetings in a three-week period, and we believe that it was to keep the citizens at bay, to possibly keep us uninformed, and just that our voices were not being heard as our First Amendment right.”

Still another area that may be adding to the department’s workload is Medicaid Expansion, she said.

“We know it if going to increase the number of Medicaid cases we have, but we are still operating in the unknown as far as how many cases we are going to have,” she said.

The right fit Hiring the new director and finding someone who would be the right fit for Powhatan County was a multi-tier process that began with a screening by the state, which sent five outstanding candidates for the search committee to consider, said Angie Cabell, chairman of the Powhatan County Social Services Board and a member of the search committee for the director.

The search committee was looking for a person with leadership and management qualities and an understanding of the complicated management structure that is part of social services, Cabell said. It is a detailed, very specific area, and you need somebody that really knows all the facets of it to run a successful department, Cabell said.

He pointed out that dozens of people came to the public meetings to voice their opposition to the landfill being approved. However, a Freedom of Information Request (FOIA) to three of the supervisors’ emails showed only 10-12 letters voicing support for the landfill, he told the judge.

Byrd’s main argument against the injunction was the same as the one in his motion to dismiss the entire referendum, which he said is not allowed under state code. According to state code, no referendum shall be placed on the ballot unless specifically authorized by the statute or charter, and Cumberland County does not have a provision in its charter for a referendum, he said. That means there is no authority for the referendum, he said.

“They may be valid signatures but there is no valid petition for them to sign,” he said.

Byrd also made several other arguments. He said that since the board of supervisors had already approved the rezoning and CUP applications and the host agreement except for the approval of those three points, there was no real governmental action to enjoin.

He answered Bruce’s statement that the board knew he was getting the required number of signatures for the referendum and proceeded anyway. Byrd said Bruce seemed to be claiming the circuit court clerk’s acceptance of his application and the signature process is equivalent to approval, however “the statute clearly requires that the court approve any valid referendum before it is placed on the ballot.” He said he will argue at the motion to dismiss the referendum hearing the merits of why that should not occur.

“(Rochelle) has a wealth of experience, an engaging and captivating presence and a very positive, nurturing outlook,” Cabell said.

Before she retired, Pemberton talked about meeting Rochelle during the interview process and being impressed with her resume. She also liked that Rochelle was so excited about being here.

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

Rochelle’s job involves supervising the 18 programs run out of the local social services office. Most of her varied 27year career focused on child welfare either working in social services or in education in New York, she said.

Before coming to Powhatan, she was the first deputy commissioner in family wellbeing for the Erie County Department of Social Services, where she

the host community agreement before it was passed in the split vote, according to Vivian Giles, county administrator. There was also no public comment period held during the meeting.

The three issues that were addressed in the new version of the host agreement can be found on the county’s website. http://www.cumberlandcounty.virginia.gov.

The three points that the county and landfill company worked out were: agreeing that County Waste of Virginia is the guarantor of the host agreement and not CWV Land Acquisition LLC or Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility LLC; removing fly ash as an acceptable daily cover for the landfill; and working out mutually agreeable language on the property value and expense compensation to the property owners.

While fly ash was negotiated as unacceptable for cover per the host agreement, the document does still allow it as waste but “solely for use as construction material, or as road beds. Fly ash shall be utilized and managed in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and permit requirements.”

Fifteen pages of the 53page host agreement pertain to the “Property Value Assurance Program” and lay out terms to make sure property owners in the immediate vicinity are fairly compensated.

The document spells out how the program will work and the qualifications for those property owners that may enroll in the program, including that they must be a Cumberland County resident with property within a halfmile radius of the permitted disposal area, as defined by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality’s permit.

The document also lays out terms of compensation for 29 specific parcels identified as “nearby properties” that have a homestead currently present on the property.

Whatever comes through my door, I will be able to deal with it,” she said.

Visiting parent offers new perspective on day

By Laura McFarland News Editor

Apparently July 30 was Take Your Mom to Work Day. Didn’t hear about it? That’s because I made it up to suit the situation. My mom, Debra, was scheduled to come in the middle of last week to stay for a few days with me and I always planned to take three days off to spend with her. However, things worked out that she was able to come a little earlier and stay the whole week.

Since I still needed to get things done before taking time off, she came early with the understanding that I was going to be working the first two days she was here. However, because Monday literally was a morning-to-night day out for me and her presence wasn’t going to hinder my coverage in any way, she asked if she could come along rather than sitting at home all day. I agreed.

We started our morning at the Cumberland County Courthouse, where a specially appointed judge held a hearing on an injunction regarding the proposed landfill near the Powhatan County border. I sat in the front row so I could hear the judge and arguments from both sides.

Mom sat off to the side with local Cumberland and Powhatan residents and got the chance to talk to them.

I had filled her in on the background during the drive to the courthouse. Given the setting and the fact that 85 people were there to fill the courtroom, it was natural that the conversation around her would be about landfills. She

intended to just sit there quietly but was immediately greeted by one of the residents and drawn into the conversation. They ended up talking about landfills, methane gas recovery plants, fault lines, and the potential damage to water sources that is weighing heavy on many residents’ minds around the site.

Afterward, she said she thought the people were passionate about the issues, both pro and con, and were highly respectful of the proceedings. She added that the case was interesting to listen to, even as a complete outsider, and she thought both L. Lee Byrd, the attorney for the board of supervisors, and Bill Bruce, who applied for the injunction, argued their positions extremely well, especially since Bruce isn’t an attorney.

After the hearing was over, we headed back to Powhatan. A good part of the afternoon was a spent at the Powhatan County Public Library, where I could use the internet to work and Mom could read and do some busy work.

It was the first time I had taken her there and she thought it was a beautiful building. We sat in the small meeting room because it wasn’t being used and we both enjoyed the view of the patio and Fighting Creek Park beyond. Squirrels came up searching for water and it was entertaining to watch their antics.

Exploring a little on her own, she said she was surprised at the size of the library, which is even bigger than some of the county libraries in Houston, and its attractive-

ness inside and out. She added that everyone she met was again nice and welcoming.

After grabbing dinner at a local restaurant, we finished our day with a meeting of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors. I once again went to my regular spot near the front and Mom sat at the back for the whole meeting.

Being a municipal utility director in Texas, Mom was familiar with the procedures and said she thought the meeting was well run. Everybody seemed well prepared and knowledgeable about the variety of subjects that came before the board. She added that she was glad that, even though there were some obvious differences of opinion, everyone was cordial.

And, once again, she was grateful how kind and welcoming people were at the meeting.

“Everybody up here always receives me so warmly. I know it is partly because of you, but you can tell the difference. Unsolicited, everyone is very nice,” she told me after the meeting.

I usually work in some kind of visit to Powhatan every time my family visits because I do believe there are some great things here worth sharing. Every time, Powhatan has risen to meet the challenge and make my family’s stay that much more enjoyable.

So, on behalf of my Mom, thank you, Powhatan, once again for the hospitality.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Supervisors’ silence is notable Dear Editor, I attended the specially scheduled Aug. 2nd Cumberland County Board of Supervisors meeting where they voted 3-2 to accept the Host Agreement with Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal, thereby welcoming a 1,200-acre landfill to Cumberland County.

Since June 7, 2018, I have attended three Cumberland County Planning Commission meetings and four Cumberland County Board of Supervisors meetings. Each meeting was devoted to the proposal by Green Ridge/County Waste to develop a mega-landfill in the Pine Grove area of Cumberland County.

Throughout this process and during this particular meeting, I was struck by the profound silence of each member on the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors. With the exception of Mr. Kevin Ingle, these four men have sat passively meeting after meeting, blankly gazing out at the sea of faces before them, staring at their laptops, scribbling notes or idly chewing their gum. Mr. Ingle was the only one who asked questions of Green Ridge representatives or acknowledged the pleas of the county citizens as they voiced their opposition to the landfill.

In all the meetings that I have attended, not once did I hear any of the supervisors from Districts 1, 2, 4, or 5 question the representatives from Green Ridge/County Waste. Their silence only leads me to believe that these four gentlemen do not take very seriously their role in protecting the health, safety, economic security, and quality of life of county residents.

When it came time to vote to accept or deny the host agreement, only Mr. Ingle of-

fered a rationale for his no vote.

When he invited his colleagues to enter a discussion and speak to the issue, he was met with stony stares and silence. Not a word was spoken by any other supervisor. Although the supervisor from District 2 voted no to the host agreement, he never explained his vote nor did he ever publicly advocate for his constituents or the residents of Pine Grove. His thoughts and those of supervisors from Districts 4 and 5 remain a mystery.

We do know that the District 1 supervisor is in favor of the landfill solely for the money it will bring to the county. He stated such at an earlier meeting with little concern expressed for threats to the water, wells, air, quiet, landscape or people. I imagine he feels it is far enough away from his “Cumberland” so as not to be a threat or nuisance to him.

I believe it is terribly thoughtless and disrespectful for these elected officials to cast a vote of such importance without acknowledging the community’s fears and then neglecting to publicly address those whose lives will be most impacted by their vote.

Ahead are 1,200 acres destroyed, 10 million pounds of trash a day from an area encompassing 21 states, 250+ tractor trailers making 500 daily trips to and from Cumberland County, toxic pollutants, noxious odors for miles, contaminated drinking water, 250-foot-high mountain of trash, constant noise, light pollution, and unsightly litter. It is history lost, lives disrupted, and families displaced – all because three men in Cumberland County Virginia, seemingly, could not care less.

Powhatan High School graduate Andrew Llewellyn, seen here during his spring season at Wingate University, played the second half of the summer season with the Harrisonburg Turks along with fellow Powhatan grad Luke Scherzer. Llewellyn had a perfect fielding percentage behind the plate.

Powhatan duo teams up again in Harrisonburg

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

S

ummer baseball can represent many things to baseball players.

For some, it could be necessary time to work back from an injury, while for others it could be to continue to sharpen their skills over the long summer break between semesters in college.

Others still just want to play baseball because they love baseball.

However, one reason that isn’t as often pointed to, but can be equally important, is the reunion of teammates.

That was the happy byproduct for Powhatan natives and Powhatan High School graduates Andrew Llewellyn and Luke Scherzer this summer playing for the Harrisonburg Turks in the Valley Baseball League.

It was the second season for the pair playing for the Turks, though this season came through a happy coincidence for Llewellyn to join the team.

Llewellyn had just completed his summer internship when Scherzer texted him.

“Luke texted me and said they needed a catcher,” Llewellyn said.

It was already in the second half of the

season by the time Llewellyn joined the team on June 28.

But, unlike last year when there were several catchers on the roster, Llewellyn filled a huge need for the Turks at the time and got a lot of playing time.

“I was catching really well and was getting to catch almost every day,” he said. “Last year, we had a lot of catchers on the roster, so I didn’t get as many opportunities behind the plate. This summer, I got to catch a lot and for a lot of different pitchers.”

One of those pitchers was Scherzer, making for a complete Powhatan battery for the Turks for a few games.

“It was awesome,” Scherzer said. “(Andrew and I) have been great friends for a while. He’s younger than me, so I saw him get bigger and stronger and better as he went through high school. I haven’t been able to see him play since high school and now he’s going to be a senior at Wingate. He’s become a great baseball player and certainly a major league prospect.”

“It was his senior year the last time that we played a game together,” Llewellyn said. “It was really cool to get to do that.” see TURKS, pg. 2B

Young Indians golf squad kicks off 2018 fall season

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

FILE PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN

Powhatan’s Cullen Biringer will be part of a crucial “one-two punch” for the Indians golf team this season.

Powhatan golf coach Chris Leech called the first week of the season facing his Indians squad a “trial by fire.”

The Indians definitely don’t ease into the season as they will take on two 18-hole matches right off the bat to kick off the 2018 fall sports season for Powhatan High School.

Powhatan participated in the Manchester Invitational at Lake Chesdin on Aug. 6 and will play in the Jefferson District tournament along with Charlottesville, Western Albemarle, Albemarle, Louisa, Orange, Monticello and Fluvanna at Birdwood Golf Course in

Charlottesville on Aug.8.

The week represents both the present competition and the future competition for the Indians.

“I like to get 18-hole matches in whenever possible, since that’s all we play in the postseason,” Leech wrote in an email. “The Chesdin tournament lets us get an idea of what next year will look like when we switch to the Dominion District and the Jefferson District match will show us what we have coming up this year in district play.”

Last season, the Indians shot 420 as a team at Lake Chesdin, with Cullen Biringer tied for the low card for Powhatan with a 16-over 98. see GOLF, pg. 3B

Scherzer currently plays for Virginia Tech.

He played in 25 games for the Hokies out of the bullpen in 2014 and another 27 in 2015 for a total of 85.2 innings with a combined 81 strikeouts.

He posted an ERA of 4.05 in 2014 and 4.73 in 2015 and had team-high saves of five and four in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

According to his bio on the Virginia Tech website, Scherzer was the second true freshman in Hokies history to lead the team in saves, when he had five in 2014.

But, Scherzer missed 2016 and 2017 after suffering back-to-back elbow injuries which required Tommy John surgery.

Scherzer returned to the mound for Virginia Tech in 2018, appearing in 11 games and starting nine of them. His first game back was against

Central Michigan on March 7, ending an almost three-year drought from collegiate play.

This season, he had a 5.76 ERA in 25 innings, striking out 19 batters with a 1-4 record.

“It’s been a long journey coming off Tommy John twice,” he said.

“This spring season was a rehab thing where I got as many innings as I could as long as my arm felt good.

When I got to Harrisonburg this summer, my arm finally started to feel like it was conditioned and ready to go. This summer was a building block toward me feeling 100 percent. I was able to go six, seven innings a game and was able to throw the ball as hard as I wanted to without any pain or soreness at all.”

His growing comfort with his arm showed during his time with the Turks this summer.

Scherzer appeared in nine games, seven of which he started. He

He allowed 40 hits, 20 runs, 16 of which were earned and walked just five batters. He posted a 3.82 ERA with a 2-3 record.

“I thought it was great progress for my situation right now,” he said.

Scherzer’s return to the mound in 2018 was the product of a decisionmaking process that he went through following the second Tommy John surgery.

“I was like ‘ok, do you want to move on and start a different career and go out in the real world?” he said. “I decided that I had come a long way and that I’d had success before I got hurt. So, I wanted to give myself another opportunity. I felt like I would be doing a disservice to myself and would regret it later in my life if I didn’t give it one more shot. Right now, I’m giving it another try and it’s going pretty well.”

Scherzer did say that going through two injuries and watching his teammates play when he couldn’t gave him a new appreciation for the game.

“I always loved the game and being around it,” he said. “It definitely put it in perspective that you can’t take the game for granted. It’s such a beautiful game and it’s the best game in the world. When you sit back and are watching it, you become a fan of the sport.

When I became a fan of it, I stopped taking the sport and my game for granted.

It made me want to play even more. It made me itch every day to get back on that mound.”

Llewellyn and Scherzer had worked together during both of Scherzer’s rehab stints after his Tommy John surgeries, as Llewellyn would catch his bullpen sessions.

“In the winter, we’d get together and go to RVA and he threw his pens and would throw

“We did that both winters that he was home coming off of Tommy John. This summer, he was starting and it was the first time he’d started since before the injuries. Being able to catch him and having him pitch well, it was really cool for me. I was used to doing that as a younger guy in high school and I really looked up to him.

He was one of the older guys and one of the more dominant pitchers we had.”

For Llewellyn, playing with the Turks this season wasn’t just a reunion with Scherzer, but also with some of his teammates from Wingate, such as Alex Rodriguez and Zach Little.

“It was a lot of fun,” Llewellyn said of getting to play with Bulldogs teammates. “They both pitched really well all summer. It was awesome to get to play with them outside of the high-stress environment of the col-

lege season. We all lived in the same apartment in Harrisonburg. We’d go get food then go to the field. It wasn’t a break from baseball, but it was a way to continue enjoying baseball.”

Llewellyn hit .192 in 19 games for the Turks this summer. He had a home run and 3 RBIs with 10 hits.

Behind the plate, he was perfect, posting four put-outs and a perfect fielding percentage.

While Llewellyn took some time off following the end of the Turks season, Scherzer travelled to Massachusetts to play some more baseball almost immediately following the Turks bowing out of the playoffs.

Scherzer will play for Virginia Tech in 2019 for his sixth year of eligibility.

Llewellyn will head back to Wingate University to play again for the Bulldogs in his senior season.

Powhatan’s Martin continues to be an inspiration

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

fter each hit this season for Post 201, Nathan Martin dutifully trotted out from the dugout and picked up the bat and brought it back to the mound, his signature red helmet bobbing up and down in the summer heat.

Sometimes, such as in the final game of the season against Post 125, Martin would play catch during warm ups with the right fielder for Post 201.

“It’s really awesome,” Martin said of his bat boy duties. “It’s an honor to do it. Parker (Mead) asked if I wanted to do it. I said yes. I miss baseball. Even though I can’t play it, I really want to watch it still.”

While those activities might seem mundane to most, the fact that Martin can be that close to his favorite game is a testament to his willpower and the support-

In the last meeting of the Jefferson District, which was at the end of last season, Powhatan was seventh out of the eight teams with a score of 376.

Powhatan’s team lost three starters from last season’s squad, which will produce an overall young team on the links for the Indians.

ing team around him and his family to recover from some devastating injuries.

As former Powhatan Today Sports Editor Michael Schoeffel reported in 2014, Martin was 6 when his foot got tangled in his pajama leg and he fell on a toy wand, which impacted him near his eye.

Martin was taken to the emergency room, where he and his mother, Krista, discovered he had suffered a grade three concussion, the highest concussion severity.

Another incident followed when Martin hit his head on a wooden board in a couch at his grandmother’s home.

That hit caused memory problems, sensitivity to light and it was discovered that Martin suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and his first fall had caused brain damage.

Following the second impact, Martin was pulled from any activity that could potentially

“We lost three starters and we’ll be working to find the lineup that gives us the best chance to compete,” Leech wrote.

“The squad is young,”

cause another blow to the head, including baseball.

In April of 2013, a baseball tournament was put on that raised over $4,000 toward Martin’s medical expenses. Then, former Powhatan athletic trainer Mike Puglia put together a team for the Shamrock 5K, with the largest team being awarded a $500 prize.

Puglia got the Indians baseball team and coach Gregg Conner involved and Team Nathan handily won the prize that day.

Since 2013, Team Nathan has won the largest team prize each year at the Shamrock 5K. While the money was initially directed toward Martin’s medical expenses, it has also been donated toward other causes, such as the Children’s Hospital of Richmond and others fighting daunting medical costs.

Krista said that Conner “has been awesome” in his support of Nathan. She also said that Con-

Biringer and Kory Brown will be a “onetwo” punch for the Indians this year.

“They’ve been practicing together all year and push each other to improve their games,” Leech wrote.

Leech noted that one

In seventh grade, Martin suffered another head injury, this time in gym class, which set his recovery back.

However, his mother said that he’s “recovering nicely” from that blow to the head.

“He is in therapy still,” she said. “He goes to speech therapy as well as physical therapy.”

While Martin doesn’t have any outward signs of his past injuries, his mother noted that he does have to “take precautions that others don’t,” such as taking ice packs with him and making sure he doesn’t overheat.

His recovery is going so well, in fact, that Martin has been given an initial green light to attempt to play the sport that he loves—baseball.

“Cade Van Buskirk is a freshman who I think can be a starter for most of the season,” he wrote.

Martin said that he was blown away by being told that he could play baseball again.

“I’m ready,” he said. “Some of the team and Parker have been helping me (get ready.) I just love this sport.”

Post 201’s Eric Mead said that Martin is a “special kid.”

“He’s a kid who has had some hard luck,” Mead said.

“He just absolutely loves baseball. The community has gotten around him over the years and to have him out here with us means everything in the world. I know he’s excited about (getting to play baseball again.)”

Martin has proved to be a source of inspiration that Mead used for the players of Post 201.

“I tell the guys all the time that Nathan is a guy who wants to be here,” Mead said. “He was told he couldn’t be out on the baseball field. I told the guys that they have the opportunity to be out here. We love having him.”

Leech wrote that he hopes to leave a mark in the Indians’ last season in the Jefferson District.

The campers, coaches and Powhatan High School football players pose on the final day of the Powhatan Youth Football Camp at the former Pocahontas Middle School on July 26.

Tribe, Warriors come together for football camp

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

After the final breakdown of the week at the Powhatan Youth Football Camp, the young campers scattered toward one particular tent close to the front-most edge of the field.

The awaiting prize was a quenching, cool piece or two of watermelon, a welcome respite from the heat and the days of hard work that the campers put in.

On the campus of the former Pocahontas Middle School, a score of youth, coaches and current Powhatan High School football

players gathered to for a four-day long camp. “We’ve had some great coaches out here,� Director of Powhatan Tribe football Jeff Tye said. “We had some good stations this week. They all worked together. Then, we’d brought the stations together and got some more skills taught as a group.�

Those stations featured a few specialized areas of football that were taught to the 39 campers in attendance.

One was a quarterback station, which was headed up by Mike Henderson, the current Douglas Freeman head football coach

and former Blessed Sacrament Huguenot head football coach. “I love the game of football,� he said. “My son, being in sixth grade and me being out here and involved as much as I can...it’s fun to see kids excited about the game of football.�

In 2012, Henderson became the Rebels head coach after coaching the Knights starting in 1997.

During his tenure with Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, Henderson won five state championships, including three straight from 2009-2011.

Henderson said that he

felt he could transfer a lot of knowledge to the campers from his years of coaching experience. “I think anyone can do drills and obviously, that helps,â€? he said. “But, I just think trying to pass down some of the experiences that I had playing and some of the memories that I made‌trying to pass those experiences down and have the kids realize what a special opportunity they have at this point in their life.â€?

Henderson said that he certainly saw some talent out on the field during the camp’s duration. “It’s fun to see these guys out here,� he said. “It’s exciting. It’s fun to see them get better yearto-year.�

A station for running backs and wide receivers rounded out the offensive station offerings.

For those defensiveminded campers, the camp taught defensive line and linebackers.

All told, there were 39 campers that attended the camp, which was an increase from last season. “The numbers have never been better,� Tye said. “The numbers are better than they were last year. We’re looking forward to a really good season.�

The camp wasn’t just for those participating in Tribe football, as members of the Flat Rock Warriors were also in atten-

dance.

When it comes down to it, though, the players will all end up on the same team one day. “We have two associations in the county, with the Tribe and the Flat Rock Warriors,� Tye said. “But, the way I see it, ultimately, we know they’re going to be Powhatan Indians. As director, I continually try to not have that gap between the two.

We may play each other once a year, but keeping that bridge and making sure that those kids know that they’ll be playing together in a few short years.�

Several current Indians players, such as Jacob Moss, Jacob Taylor and Jarrett Tronge, were on hand to help with the camp as well. “It’s a good time,�

Moss said. “I love teaching these kids. It’s good to see all the guys coming up. It’s the future of our program.�

The current Indians players also use it as a chance to build their offthe-field camaraderie. “It’s a good bonding experience for all of us,�

Moss said. “It gets us ready for the season. I feel like we’re a lot closer this year than we were last year.�

Moss said that the Indians players hope to show where the campers could end up one day. “It’s bringing it full
