School board gets first look at finished middle school

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board this week got its first glimpse of the now furnished Powhatan Middle School, which is less than a month away from opening for the new 2018-2019 school year on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

The board held its meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 7 in a room in the new school, and one of the first items they handled was to take a tour of the building, which has a good portion of the furniture now delivered and some of the teachers’ belongings.

learning environment for Powhatan students and teachers.

“We are still working through punch list items with the contractor and we still have some furniture that needs to be delivered, so we are still getting things in.

But everything will be in in time to start school,” Jones said during the tour, which was shared through Facebook Live by the Powhatan Today.

The school board agreed at the meeting to hold a ribbon cutting and open house for the community to come in and see the new school at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29. Another open house scheduled in August is for families of middle school students only.

Much of the Aug. 7 tour focused on the first floor of the building because of the wide variety of things to see. The first floor houses all of the sixth-grade classsee SCHOOL, pg. 6

Judge dismisses Cumberland referendum regarding landfill

By Laura McFarland

News Editor

CUMBERLAND – The same specially appointed judge who recently denied an injunction brought by a Cumberland County resident to stop further movement on a proposed landfill project last week also granted a motion to dismiss a referendum spearheaded by the same citizen.

Retired circuit court Judge Melvin R. Hughes Jr. presided over the hearing held on Tuesday, Aug. 7 regarding a referendum created and championed by Bill Bruce of Cumberland. Hughes was appointed by the Virginia Supreme Court after several local judges recused themselves.

Hughes had already issued a ruling on Tuesday, July 31 that denied Bruce an injunction he sought to stop the Cumberland Board of Supervisors from taking any further action regarding the approval of a proposed landfill pending a referendum being held.

At the time, the board had a special meeting planned for Aug. 2 to finalize certain terms of a host agreement between the county and County Waste of Virginia, which will own Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility.

That meeting went ahead as scheduled and the final draft of the host agreement was approved in a 3-2 vote.

The hearing on the motion to

dismiss was moved up from its original Aug. 23 date and scheduled to be heard on Aug. 7. Bruce, who is not a lawyer, once again represented himself and attorney L. Lee Byrd argued his case for a motion to dismiss the referendum on behalf of Cumberland County Board of Supervisors.

The referendum’s validity At question in the hearing was deciding whether the referendum Bruce originally filed on June 15 and gathered hundreds of Cumberland resident signatures to support was legally valid. 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?”

Rather than cite a specific state code to back his claim that the referendum was valid, Bruce argued that it is actually a First Amendment issue. He told the judge that although county government met the legal requirements in the meetings it held regarding the landfill, the timeline was so compressed that citizens did not have the proper time to come out and express their views on the subject.

POWHATAN – Habitat for Humanity Powhatan’s new resale store opened for business for the first time this month and saw great initial support from the community.

Customers lined up at the store even before the 10 a.m. opening hour on Saturday, Aug. 4, and business was brisk throughout the day, executive director Roseleen Rick said. Many customers expressed delight at the offerings and low prices for appliances, ceiling fans, lighting, furniture and building materials. All the stock was priced to sell and all of it was generously donated by both individuals and business entities.

The store, located in the former Company 2 Firestation, is at 1922 Urbine Road. Habitat for Humanity rents the space from the County of Powhatan and has spent the last few months completing massive renovations to the building to make it serviceable.

Many donors helped with the renovation, and volunteers did much of the work. The building

Board hears results of National Citizen Survey

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors received an introduction last week into the results of the National Citizen Survey conducted with local residents.

The results of the survey done by National Research Center in Boulder, Colorado, were presented at a board workshop on Thursday, Aug. 9 by Thomas Miller, the company’s president and CEO. The long and involved survey measures livability by asking residents to rate eight key facets that contribute to the quality of a community: safety, mobility, natural environment,

ment right,” he said several times.

He said he wanted the referendum so the county government would have to seek the opinion of the county’s citizens on “something that can have such a devastating impact.”

Byrd continued the same argument he made against the injunction, that the referendum Bruce filed 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 charter that allows for the referendum, he said. That means there is no authority for the referendum, he said.

Even if the board of supervisors or local government wanted to put the question on the ballot as a referendum, it couldn’t because it is not allowed by the state, he said. He cited the Dillon Rule, in which the Virginia Supreme Court said that local governments have limited authority and can pass ordinances only in areas where the General Assembly has granted clear authority.

Byrd also argued against Bruce’s stance that the people had not been heard in this case. He said there were many people who attended the county meetings and spoke their minds.

After the two sides presented their first arguments, Hughes asked Bruce several questions about the avenues of protest still available to citizens opposed to the landfill. He mentioned the formal appeals process to the Board of Zoning Appeals and applying to the General Assembly to pass a law supporting that a citizen referendum is needed in the case of a landfill. He also mentioned the lengthy permitting process with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).

He asked Bruce to cite a legal statute that would support his cause. Bruce did not have one. The judge pointed out that the legislature authorizes the court system to act in a given instance, and without those laws in place, he would assume there is no authority.

“I understand your position. You believe the citizens ought to be able to vote on this because it is an important issue for the county,” Hughes told Bruce.

However, “there are only certain circumstances where the court can intervene,” he said, and “it is just not appropriate at this point for the court to intervene.”

Hughes then granted Byrd’s motion to dismiss.

Moving forward After the Aug. 7 hearing, Bruce maintained that this is a “First Amendment case all the way” and said he plans to hire a lawyer and appeal the judge’s decision.

He was not upset as he acknowledged that no case like this has been won at the circuit court level because they don’t have the authority to change the law.

“The judge was accurate; he has to follow the law. It is not at his level to change the law. We just had to put the fight out there,” he said.

Byrd declined to comment further.

Bruce had mentioned in court that two people filed appeals to the Board of Zoning Appeals the day of the injunction hearing.

Two letters were filed with the county zoning office, one signed by Bruce Allen and Joanne Muzzey and the other by Hubbard Sprouse. The letters say they are from adjoining landowners of the landfill and cite lowered property values as a reason for a “request again to be heard on an appeal of Rezoning” and asks for a zoning appeals hearing. The letter was addressed to all or one of Cumberland County’s Board of Supervisors, Planning Board, Planning and Zoning Appeals Board and Planning Commission secretary.

Allen said he first heard about the zoning appeals board as a possible option from Hughes during the July 30 hearing on the injunction hearing and went and filed it that day.

Vivian Giles, county administrator and county attorney, said she responded to those letters on Aug. 2 saying, “I assume that your request is to appeal the action of the board of supervisors taken on June 28, 2018, to rezone certain parcels of real property located in Cumberland County for the Green Ridge project.

Please note that no action taken to date, including the rezoning action taken on June 28, 2018, is properly appealable to any of the boards or offices to which you have addressed your letter. Accordingly, no hearing will be scheduled with any one or more of those bodies.”

Fire watch issued after water tower delays

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The new Powhatan Middle School had to be put on fire watch for about three weeks because of problems that have cropped up with the water tower being built in the Village area.

As of Friday, Aug. 10, the 500,000 gallon tank contained about 250,000 gallons of water, which was well above the required minimum of 180,000 gallons for fire suppression needed for the school, said Ramona Carter, director of public works. However, as of press time, fire watch was expected to last until Friday, Aug. 17.

The filling process started on July 28, the day after the piping was completed and inspected, but has been delayed on two occasions since then when leaks were found in the piping, she said.

The first time was shortly after water began flowing and accumulating in the tank. There was a problem with the restraining rods on one of the fittings inside the base of the tank (cone section) and the piping came apart, Carter said.

The contractor repaired that but then there was a gasket failure on the manway opening, which caused the tank to leak inside the cone section.

“The manway is an opening in the tank bowl section (bottom of the bowl) that allows access into the tank for painting and maintenance purposes. It is a 24inch diameter penetration that is sealed with a gasketed steel door, bolted in place. The gasket was not installed properly, which caused the leak,” Carter said.

The contractor repaired the gasket and filling resumed on Friday, Aug. 3, she said.

In the second instance, workers started to flush the 12-inch water line from the tank to the schools and the 8-inch loop around the school on Aug. 9 and subsequently found a leak on the line in front of the bus garage, Carter said. The contractor was scheduled to begin working on excavating to fix that leak on Aug. 13.

After the leak is finished, a full flush will still need to be completed before the tank can be put in service and have fire protection at the school, finally allowing it to get its full certificate of occupancy, Carter said. She added that the work is expected to be done by midweek, but the school will keep fire protection scheduled through Aug. 17. The fire watch will all be paid for out of liquidated damages from the contractor, Phoenix Tank.

Carter also pointed out that a generator has been used to run the well pump filling up the tank. At the time it was installed, the electrical contractor was still waiting on one of the panels it needs to be delivered and installed so permanent power could be put in place.

Because the electrical contractor is from New York, Carter said the earliest they could return was Monday, Aug. 13.

Southside Electric then has to do the final work to connect the power. However, there was a three-week delay for them to come onsite that had not been set yet.

Although the project is being managed by the county, Dr. Jason Tibbs, di-

rector of facilities for the schools, gave an update on the project to the school board on Aug. 7, before the second leak happened, because it affects the school.

Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said the county has done a nice job of holding the contractor's feet to the fire and making sure it was covered on liquidated damages.

“It has been frustrating but we are hopeful that we will be able to have this done well before staff and students are here full-time,” Jones said.

School board member Kim Hymel, who represents District 5, expressed concern about the project not being done in time for the start of school.

Jones said if that happened, the school district would have to discuss the issue with the fire marshal. He said fire watch has been done in the schools before when a fire pump was broken at Pocahontas Middle and Elementary schools a few years ago. It involved people hired to walk through the entire school while fire watch is in place.

“That would be probably our worstcase scenario is to have to do that to start school, but we still have plenty of time and we are confident things are moving in the right direction. … It is getting a little too close for comfort and it shouldn’t have lasted this long, but thankfully we had enough time built in.

That is why we were pushing to get everything done in June so that when these kind of things happen, it wouldn’t push us into when students were here,” Jones said.

POWHATAN – A Powhatan County woman and two children she was babysitting were injured last week in a two-vehicle accident crash with a mail carrier.

At about 1:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 8, the Virginia State Police responded to a two-vehicle crash in the vicinity of the 5000 block of Old Buckingham Road.

According to a preliminary investigation by the state police, Sandra R. Petty, 29, of Powhatan was driving a 2007 Ford Fusion eastbound on Old Buckingham Road, Sgt. Keeli Hill, public information officer, said in a release. Petty’s vehicle approached a mail carrier vehicle and attempted to pass that vehicle on the left side. The mail carrier driver was making a left turn, resulting in both vehicles colliding and overturning.

Petty and the two minor children she was babysitting were not seat belted at the time of the crash, according to the release. One child was transported by Med Flight for treatment of serious injuries, Hill said.

Petty and the other child were transported by ambulance for treatment of minor to serious injuries.

The driver of the mail carrier sustained minor injuries and was checked at the scene but was not transported.

The crash remains under investigation, but Petty has been charged with reckless driving and two seat belt violations, according to state police.

The morning after the crash, the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office released a message about the accident on its Facebook page. The purpose of the post was to commend Deputy Josh Barnes, who responded to the scene along with other patrol units from the sheriff’s office, units from the Virginia State Police, and members of Powhatan Fire and Rescue.

“When Deputy Barnes arrived he found one of the children at the crash scene trapped under one of the vehicles and several members of the community attempting to lift the vehicle off of the child,” the post read.

“Deputy Barnes assisted the other members of the community and together they were able to lift the vehicle off of the child and pull the child out from underneath it.”

The sheriff’s office asked those people whom Barnes assisted with lifting the vehicle and pulling the child out from underneath it to contact the office at 804-598-5656.

Sheriff Brad Nunnally said he would like to meet with each person if possible and express his gratitude.

“We are very proud (Barnes) and members of the community were able to get the car off the child before any further injury was done. We certainly look forward to meeting with the public who were there and willing to jump in and come to the aid of the child,” Nunnally said.

sent surveys to 1,900 Powhatan households at random and received 676 completed surveys, or a 36 percent response rate, which actually is quite high, Miller said. The margin of error on the results is listed as plus or minus 4 percent.

Regarding the response rate, Miller pointed out that the average response rate now for a phone survey is about 9 percent, he added. “There has been a lot of research about the declining response rates across the country, and I have to say your 36 percent response rate is a very strong positive response rate,� he said.

The PowerPoint with the summary of the survey results presented by Miller can be found in the Aug. 9 board packet on the county’s website. County administrator Ted Voorhees said all of the full reports generated by the research company will be posted to the county website as well so residents can get a more in-depth look.

Voorhees added that the results of the opt-in surveys have been tabulated and will also be posted on the website. Many residents who heard about the survey being administered via random sampling expressed a desire to also fill it out, so the county made it available to the general public. Of those requested, 280 were completed and

returned.

Miller said that the results of these opt-in surveys, which were gathered from June 8 to 22, were largely similar to the results from the survey in the random sample group.

In addition to using the survey as a benchmark for the county, moving forward, if the board decides to use it again, Miller said it can be useful as a comparison tool. Many localities in Virginia and all over the United States have used the same survey, so Powhatan’s results can also be compared to them to better understand the measurements.

However, one thing first Miller and then some of the board members stressed is that just because the county received low figures in a certain aspect doesn’t mean that item is or should be a priority for the board to address.

During discussion after the presentation, chairman Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, said the board needs to consider how it will use this data to inform its decision making in general moving forward. But he pointed out the board’s actions will not be solely dictated by high or low numbers. “Some of the areas, as Tom pointed out, we may say that does not fit our philosophy and that does not fit our vision, so we are not going to touch that part. And that’s OK. That is a decision we can use

this data to help,� he said. “I am not advocating one way or another. But just because we are getting numbers below the national average in a particular category doesn’t mean we have to go out and run and fix it.�

“That is where I have seen most effectiveness come from this kind of thing - measure, act, measure again, act again, and get into a strategic plan cycle.�

Ted Voorhees county administrator Three key findings In a broad look at how Powhatan compares to the rest of the nation where the same questions were asked, about 100 of the questions received similar ratings, eight received higher ratings, and 18 received lower ratings. Examples of areas that received higher ratings were traffic flow, sheriff or police, and those likely to remain in the county for five years. Some of the ones that received lower ratings were trails, ease of walking or biking in the county, percentage of people who recycled, and rate of shopping opportunities.

In the eight aspects of livability that are measured by the survey, researchers found that safety and economy are the toprated issues, Miller said.

However, he also highlighted three key findings from the survey that stood out. The first was that residents of Powhatan County enjoy a high quality of life and plan to remain in the community.

Nine out of 10 residents gave Powhatan a good or excellent rating when it came to the topics

of overall quality of life; Powhatan County as a place to live; neighborhood as a place to live, and the county as a place to raise children. These results were true across the demographics, he added.

About three-quarters of residents rated the sense of community and neighborliness in the county as excellent or good, he said.

Eight in 10 residents rated the overall quality of county services and customer service provided by county employees as excellent or good.

The second key finding is that residents feel that safety is a priority for Powhatan’s future and ratings are strong, Miller said. He especially pointed out the extremely high percentage of positive ratings the county received in the area of safety: feeling safe in neighborhood (98 percent); feeling safe in downtown/commercial area (97 percent); overall feeling of safety (94 percent); police/sheriff services (92 percent); fire services (92 percent); ambulance/EMS (88 percent), and crime prevention (84 percent).

Miller said police and sheriff services tend to get higher ratings across the country, “but not this high.�

The third key finding is that mobility may be an area of opportunity for the county, Miller said. The county received high ratings for overall ease of travel, ease of travel by car and traffic enforcement, and even traffic flow on major streets and sidewalk maintenance get fairly good numbers.

But only four in 10 residents gave an excellent or good rating in the areas of availability of paths and walking trails, street repair, street lighting, ease of walking, bus or transit services and ease of travel by bicycle, he said.

Residents were less likely than others to have carpooled instead of driving alone (33 percent) or

walked or biked instead of driving (18 percent).

Importance of initiatives Some of the questions asked residents to rate how important certain county initiatives were to them.

For example, when asked about the importance of preserving open space and agriculture areas, 55 percent said essential, 33 percent said very important, 11 percent said somewhat important, and 1 percent said not at all important.

Another question asked residents what they thought about encouraging the private sector to provide a greater variety of housing types. The results were that 14 percent said essential, 20 percent said very important, 31 percent said somewhat important, and 35 percent said not at all important.

A chart on housing types drew a good amount of discussion among board members and caused several people to come up during the public comment period to weigh in on the subject. In the survey, residents were asked to rate if they feel there is too little, too much, or about the right amount of seven different types of housing in Powhatan. On one end of the spectrum, lowmaintenance housing options for seniors saw 23 percent saying far too little, 31 percent saying somewhat too little, 41 percent saying about right, about 1 percent saying somewhat too much, and 4 percent saying far too much. At the end of the list was single-family homes on 5- to 10-acre lots, which saw 8 percent saying far too little, 15 percent saying somewhat too little, 68 percent saying about right, 6 percent saying somewhat too much, and 4 percent saying far too much. Other types of housing listed in the survey were townhouses, multi-family housing (apartments/condomini-

Moving forward Voorhees pointed out that there are useful data points in the survey to help with the comprehensive plan update. Some of the issues show clear community support, such as preserving the rural character of the county, while others are divisive issues, such as housing types.

It will be a challenge for the board to make policy on some of the issues where there is such obvious division, but it is good to have the data to help the county understand where it stands, he said.

The community should also pause and recognize the areas where the county’s ratings fared well and different efforts are appreciated by the citizens, he said.

He expects that citizens, county staff, and board members who examine the full reports all have the potential to draw out different ideas that may help the county move forward.

Voorhees also suggested commissioning this survey every two to three years to get into a pattern of tracking county’s progress. “That is where I have seen most effectiveness come from this kind of thing - measure, act, measure again, act again, and get into a strategic plan cycle,� he said.

795906-01

Pastor Don Habersack said the event is driven by his congregation’s desire to alleviate some of the burden of the costs for supplies to the parents while giving the children an opportunity to come out and have a fun day.

“As Christians we are supposed to let our lights shine before men that they see our good works and glorify our heavenly Father. Our hope is that by doing things like this we make an impact for the Kingdom of God as well as our community. If we can touch just a few with the love of God by meeting a need, we have accomplished our mission,” he said.

This year’s activities included a juggler, magic act, visitors from the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office’s K-9 unit, pony rides, face painting, rock painting, a bouncy house and slide, and a photo selfie booth. After entertainment, the children were refreshed by snow cones and homemade ice cream. Door prizes were given away every 10 minutes.

Community Life Church had a different setup for its second year of Operation School Supplies, which is funded through a grant from the Powhatan Community Action Agency and run by the church as a way to help the community, said Jennifer Davis, outreach coordinator for the church.

They see it as a way to help not only local families but Powhatan’s teachers, who may take on the financial burden when they see a student in need, she said.

The grant covers school supplies for about 700 students, which is the number of students authorized by the Department of Education as being on its free and reduced lunch list, she said. As such, families have to fill out an

They could then come and pick up their school supplies already in a box.

Davis said the different school supplies lists for each school and grade level were used by Kits for Kidz, where they purchased the supplies, and the supplies were sent already sorted and in a box.

The program had enough money left over in its first year to provide a pair of shoes and socks to each child, which was also a need identified to the church when they asked the school district what they could do to help, Davis said. This year, the church received a grant specifically to purchase the socks and shoes.

“We asked the administration what other needs there were, we got these really sad stories of kids whose shoes are too tight or they don’t have shoes.

more volunteers to work in the store, Rick said.

On its first day of business, the store saw about 50 customers come through the door and made a good profit for Habitat’s critical repair fund, Rick said.

“It was wonderful to see the work and the donations of so many people finally come to fruition, and Habitat is grateful to the County of Powhatan for renting the space to us.

We had customers lined up before our opening time of 10 a.m., and we were delighted to have our cash register and sale items ready thanks to the volunteers, Barbara Brown and Michelle

Odden, who had been working on this for months,” she said.

The store will be a boon to Powhatan by helping builders donate materials they don’t need, earning them a tax deduction for donated items, and customers who need building supplies, appliances, furniture and other items at a low cost, Rick said.

Brown, who is the store manager, said, “A big thanks to all the folks that donated to our Habitat Store and those who worked so hard to get it ready for Saturday. We look forward to continuing the success of the wonderful partnerships with individuals, businesses, and our commu-

nity.”

A huge part of keeping the store going will be getting donations in from the community and businesses that can then be sold. Funds raised from the sale of items donated will be used to support the Habitat mission of build-

ing affordable homes and making critical repairs for Powhatan homeowners, Rick said.

The following items are accepted for sale: working gas and electric appliances that are less than 10 years old and clean; wooden furniture;

building supplies such as new windows, door, insulation, hardware; kitchen and bathroom cabinets; complete light fixtures; electrical supplies such as switch plates, sockets, dimmers, etc.; ceiling fans that are less than five years old; lighting fixtures in working order; plumbing supplies such as faucets, sinks, white toilets; tools; and unopened paint cans or spray paint.

Habitat is not a certified cleaning facility and cannot accept upholstered furniture, any fabric, or mattresses. Nor does it accept: broken appliances or appliances more than 10 years old; clothing; miniblinds; storm or single pane windows; bathtubs or Jacuzzis; shower walls

or doors; unframed mirrors or glass; televisions more than five years old; barbecue grills, and electronic home entertainment systems/equipment or cabinets.

Habitat is in need of a team that can take things apart, like plumbing and electrical fixtures. Prospective volunteers can call the Habitat Volunteer Hotline 804-372-9755.

and the school houses a range of furniture styles that are both eye-catching and multipurpose.

“We just wanted flexible, comfortable seating in a variety of different ways, and the architect that we worked with came up with a couple different designs. We had a team of people, including Dr. (Samantha) Martin, the principal, and a bunch of staff members that looked at everything and came up with this concept. We, of course, wanted to have some orange throughout – it is Powhatan orange – but also some complimentary colors,” Jones said.

The library looks out onto a large courtyard in the center of the school that has some greenery and two large round seating areas that could be used for classes being held outdoors.

The wide hallways have a couple of hallmarks, including no student lockers (it was determined middle school students weren’t using them as much) and plenty of display cases for student work, athletic trophies and special awards.

There were also seating areas near the staircases that are intended to be multipurpose.

The Commons is composed of a large cafeteria than can fit about 350 students at a time, a serving area, a full performance stage, and auditorium seating. The risers with 400 auditorium seating chairs can pull out and retract, and the room is large enough to fit an additional 200 chairs in front of the risers, making it another viable performance space for the community, Jones said.

“In some cafeterias you will see the long tables with the stools on

them, like we have in some of our elementary schools. We specifically wanted chairs. It’s more comfortable. It’s also then more multipurpose use for when you have community events and other meetings,” he said.

The music rooms boast a wide array of amenities to improve the practice and performing experience and functionality of each room, whether it is risers in the choral room or a large number of lockers for musical instruments in the band room, he said.

Jones took the tour through several classrooms to show how the seating can be arranged by each teacher to suit his or her needs. Again, the furniture featured highly in these stops. The district held a furniture fair for the teachers to find out what they wanted in the classrooms. Some of the innovations include sit/stand adjustable desks and stools for fidgety students to help avoid distractions and keep them focused.

Teacher workrooms are new for the middle school teachers and have created a good deal of excitement among them, Jones said. There are spaces where teachers can eat lunch, hold meetings, and have student conferences. A special feature of the workroom is a small room set aside as a phone room to allow teachers confidentiality when they are calling parents.

The former CTE wing featured one discovery after another, including huge art rooms with a multitude of space for storage; a family and consumer science classroom with multiple kitchen amenities and space for the variety of classes that will be taught there; an

agriculture classroom complete with hydroponics stations; a technology class, and a lab area shared by the agriculture and technology teachers.

Other features downstairs highlighted on the tour were a fully renovated gym and adjoining locker rooms; an indoor concessions stand; the main office and guidance counselors’ spaces, and the security measures at the entrance and in the main office.

Upstairs, some of the main rooms the group visited were collaborative learning spaces with innovative and flexible furniture and a large STEM classroom that is designed to allow multiple classes to use it at the same time.

All of the board members were complimentary throughout the tour and several times expressed how surprised and pleased they were with the outcome.

During the board comments, Rick Cole, who represents District 1, said he was overwhelmed with how Powhatan Middle School turned out.

“It is truly a magnificent educational building, and I want to commend everybody that had input in it, especially Dr. (Jason) Tibbs and Mr. (Russell) Wilson and Dr. Jones and all of the people who worked on it long, long hours. It is not quite ready yet but certainly it is close,” he said. “Congratulations on to you. I don’t know how anybody in the county could not be extremely proud of what they got. And to come in on time and, at this point as far as we know, on budget, is wonderful.”

New school a bright addition to PCPS

By Laura McFarland News Editor

B

eing witness to a project coming together can be an amazing experience.

Last week, I shot a Facebook Live video during the Powhatan County School Board’s tour of the new Powhatan Middle School since it is almost complete and much of the furniture has been brought in.

Some punch list items, or finishing touches, have to be completed and additional furniture and teachers’ materials moved in, but, all in all, that building was looking pretty darn good for the start of school being less than a month away on Tuesday, Sept. 4.

Although I had been in the new school a few times recently and seen the finished structure, it was only with this tour and seeing some of the cool new furniture in place that it felt like we were almost there.

Don’t get me wrong – the project as a whole is extremely impressive and was not waiting on a few plastic chairs to make the building shine. But it was only with this tour – when we could walk through and see the chairs, tables and couches in place – that it became easy to imagine Powhatan’s sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-graders sitting there studying, learning and playing.

Looking back, it seems unreal that at about this time two years ago, Powhatan Junior High School was being

pulled down by heavy equipment to make room for the new structure. In fact, that experience also was captured in a live video because I knew it would be a meaningful moment for many people.

For viewers who watched that first video, the emotions were all over the place. Some people were sad to see their alma mater being torn down. Some were upset about the $35 million price tag. Others were happy because there were so many issues with the building that they recognized it wasn’t suitable anymore as a place to be educating local youth.

The reactions with last week’s tour were far different because those watching could see what an amazing job was done to create the new school. Many probably echoed the reactions of the school board members, who also were experiencing it for the first time and having a blast interacting with the new space.

I can’t figure out which was my favorite - seeing Kim Hymel individually trying out so many of the chairs or her and the rest of the school board enjoying the colorful and mobile chairs in one of the collaborative spaces as Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, demonstrated how another of the chairs allowed students to sit backwards in it.

Last week, it was easy to imagine students playing basketball in the bright open gym with no forecast of snow (thanks to a new ceiling with no crumbly bits falling down); singing and playing in the well-stocked music rooms; eating lunch in a cafeteria whose ceiling didn’t

feel oppressively low; and learning in brightly-lit classrooms with all the right equipment.

It also was easy to imagine the benefits to the teachers, whether it is new and interesting spaces to help engage young minds, nice faculty work rooms, or even small considerations like designated phone rooms where they can have confidential conference calls with students’ parents.

The men and women who worked so hard to make this new school a reality did an amazing job, especially the current director of facilities, Dr. Jason Tibbs, and his predecessor, Russell Wilson.

The building is simultaneously beautiful, functional, innovative, and welcoming and should be a great place to educate Powhatan’s middle schoolers for many, many years to come.

Based on comments made on the Facebook video, I know there are members of the public who can’t wait to explore this new county building. You will have your chance. After school gets started and the building really feels like a school, the school district plans to hold a ribbon cutting and open house at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept.

29, that will be open to the public.

For those who may have looked at the school calendar and seen an open house listed on Aug. 29, that event is only for families of the middle schoolers who will be attending the school.

“Wow, this cake looks good,” the clerk smiled.

“It’s for my husband. It’s his birthday today,” she replied.

The clerk proclaimed her birthday wishes as the man continued to place his groceries in the bags.

“Another day older and deeper in debt,” joked the man as he completed the task.

No, some wouldn’t have known to what his comment referred, but my father was a Tennessee Ernie Ford fan and one of the few 45 rpm records we owned was “16 Tons.” I immediately recognized the line from the lyrics.

I thought about that man as I celebrated my 68th birthday on Aug. 5. I suppose his one-sentence quip could apply to many of us, but it’s not what I’m thinking about as I approach seven decades on this wonderful planet.

The foremost thought in my mind as another year passes is how we increasingly appreciate the little things in life as we get older. Following that reasonable progression, I also questioned why those seemingly simple things don’t matter as much, or, in some cases, at all in younger years.

I thought about all of this as I sat beside a large box of cantaloupes that sat near the entrance of a small neighborhood market I frequently visit. When I returned to the car, I got one complete and glorious whiff of that odor that can only be described as heavenly.

And that one aroma brought back so many memories of summer vacations, family reunions, beach getaways and early mornings at the breakfast table with that same smell permeating our small kitchen.

I sat there for more than a minute, windows fully open in order to get the full affect of nature’s aromatherapy.

The next morning I awoke to the sound of a distant lawn mower of some homeowner getting an early jump on a week of rain-infused grass. Again, the sound

prompted memories of hot summer mornings and the sounds that seemed to always accompany them in a time absent of the constant hum of a 21st century society.

It’s funny how you remember the pleasant things in the past but somehow quickly forget the not-so-good ones. I often think of dangling my feet off the end of a dock and feeling the cool water, but would rather forget the bee stings on bare feet. The smell of honeysuckle seems fresh in my mind, but riding in hot cars where you literally stuck to the seat somehow escapes.

There’s something about the combination of all of those things that makes summer my favorite season.

Maybe I appreciate that more now that I used to, or maybe I always did.

After all, it’s those childhood memories that supply the data for our memory banks that probably means those little things were always important and maybe I was never too young to stop and appreciate the value of rain hitting hot pavement, or that unique smell that accompanies it.

I suppose things have changed quite a bit since those seemingly simpler days of hot days and warm nights. But, in some ways, they remain the same.

My girls are now teenagers, so I was somewhat surprised when they asked for jars on one of those summer nights not too long ago.

“We’re going to catch lightning METRO CREATIVE bugs,” one of them said.

I opened the door and glanced outside as their shadows raced across the moonlit lawn. I inhaled the warm night air and stood in silence as I enjoyed the sounds of thousands of bugs, frogs, whatever, as they celebrated the height of summer with their own distinctive buzz.

The sights, sounds and smells of a season serve as triggers to memories of the past, where the tiniest of details are stored. In other words, those little pleasures were always there for us to enjoy, just not realized by lives that moved too fast with schedules that were too busy.

I’m not sure when I began to appreciate those seemingly unimportant slices of my surroundings, but I’m sure aware of those simple things now, like the ice cold slice of watermelon sitting in my fridge, waiting.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Landfill opponent urges to keep the fight going Dear Editor, DON’T GIVE UP! This is the best advice I can give to the citizens of Cumberland and surrounding counties concerning the proposed mega landfill in Cumberland County. Several people I have spoken with feel it is a dead issue since the board of supervisors approved the host agreement for the proposed landfill and the judge in two different cases presented before him ruled in favor of the board of supervisors.

All is not lost – we have to regroup and move forward. There are several avenues still available to fight the landfill. For example, there is the appeals process. The person who filed these two lawsuits is already filing or seriously considering filing appeals. The person filing the suits addressed in court the right of the people to be heard under different various documents to include the Bill of Rights, the Virginia State Constitution, and the Constitution of the United States. The citizens of Cumberland County and others support this and firmly believe three people should not be able to make this big of a decision concerning our lives, our children’s lives, our environment, and our water supply without allowing us to petition and have the matter added to the ballot in November.

Some of the land owners in the affected area filed legal documentation appealing the rezoning. This was just recently done and is still pending. The other options open to those opposing this mega landfill includes letter writing. These letters should be sent to various people and organizations. For a complete list, visit LoveCentralVA.com.

Please note the address is not LoveCumberlandCounty, but CentralVA as this proposed landfill’s effects will be felt from our small county to the James River, to the Chesapeake Bay and have an effect on all of Virginia.

Now is not the time to sit back and say it is a “done deal” but to get on the bandwagon and fight. There is strength in unity.

For those interested in picking up some goodies to eat right there on the green or to take home, the Village Green will be packed with local businesses, artisans, craftsmen, food and franchise vendors, musical performances and more, all until 2 p.m.

In addition, the Virginia Blood Services bus will be present. So you can donate a unit of blood before or after the parade. There is always a need for blood, especially during a holiday.

New-look Knights optimistic for new season

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

B

lessed Sacrament Huguenot’s football team has plenty of new faces to the program this season.

The Knights have a new head coach in Shawn Pickett, a new offensive coordinator in Gary Brock and a new defensive coordinator under coach Michael McDowell.

Many of the players are also new.

Last season, the Knights had 23 players on the roster.

Of those, only eight are returning this season.

While that is a lot of turnover in multiple facets of the team, it allows Pickett and the coaches to start with a fresh slate in most cases rather than having a previous offense or defense to erase and replace.

“It’s a great thing,” Pickett said.

Pickett has been a longtime coach, most recently at King William High

School. When he heard of the opening at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, he was intrigued as he was looking to make the jump from public to private school.

A former college teammate of Pickett’s, Bryce Fritz, was a former coach for the Knights during Mike Henderson’s tenure. Pickett had done his research then and did it once again before coming to the school.

“I just like the small, community atmosphere,” he said. “Coming from a bigger school to a smaller school, it allows

me to have a more personal relationship with the kids. I get to know their families.

I’m more a family guy myself, so I want the kids to look at me like a role model. I can bring leadership and qualities to them and create relationships to build. We have 65 boys in this school and 32 of them are on this team. You get to know pretty much everything about those kids and develop those relationships and develop those kids for four years.”

Powhatan’s Sloan selected for prestigious soccer camp

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Powhatan’s Parker Sloan was awarded one of 32 spots in the nation to attend an Adidas soccer camp in Amsterdam.

Powhatan’s Parker Sloan attained an opportunity that only 31 other players in the United States, and only one other in Virginia, can lay claim to.

Sloan is a soccer player and a rising freshman at Powhatan High School and was a member of the JV boys soccer team for the Indians last season.

Through his travel soccer organization, FC Richmond, Sloan was selected for the 2018 Generation Adidas Select A.F.C. Ajax Program, one of only 32 players total that were chosen for the honor.

“It’s going to be super fun,” he said. “I never thought that something like this

would happen. I’ve worked really hard and I’m glad that it did. Just a little kid from Powhatan…it’s a huge deal and I’m super excited for this opportunity.”

So, where will Sloan spend nine days of his summer vacation? Just Amsterdam, training with the soccer club called A.F.C. Ajax, which is the most successful soccer club in the Netherlands.

It will be the first time that Sloan has left the United States.

“It’s a bit nerve-wracking,” he said.

Ajax has won a slew of titles and championships, including four Union of European Football Association (UEFA) titles, three European Super Cups and one FIFA Club World Cup. see SOCCER, pg. 4B

Powhatan field hockey reloads for 2018 season

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

P

owhatan field hockey had several firsts last season, the biggest of which was taking home its first region title in the program’s history after a 1-0 win over Warhill.

The Indians went 16-4 last season, were the top seed in the region and hosted the entire region tournament at Powhatan High School.

Last year, the Indians had a rock solid defense that more often than not didn’t allow their opponents to beat goalie Gatlin Snyder and an explosive offense that could control the ball and score from a variety of points on the field from several different players.

Powhatan had a large senior class last season, with seniors dotted throughout the offense, defense and in the cage.

All told, eight seniors departed the Powhatan field hockey program with the Class of 2018, leaving behind a huge experience vacuum for this season’s edition of the team.

“It is very early and we just finished tryout week, but we have definitely made progress,” Indians coach Steph Tyson wrote in an email. “The kids are doing a great job with conditioning and learning how to play together. I feel positive and excited about the hard work and attitude of this team.”

While the Indians have experienced players still on the team, such as seniors Danielle Bigham, Calie Rehme, Anna Cau-

sey and Katlyn Hicks, Powhatan will be starting some new faces in new places this season.

Most notably, following an injury, Powhatan will start a freshman in the net this season.

“There will be quite a few challenges for us early on as we figure out the new dynamics,” Tyson wrote.

“We lost our goalie, entire defense and much of the midfield to graduation.

There is an entirely new look for the team, and we are very inexperienced. At this point, we are still figuring out positions and who will step up. I am very excited to have four seniors that are showing great leadership skills early on.”

The Indians’ four seniors will be the players that Tyson will look to early on to lead the team.

“I am expecting big things from Calie Rehme, Dani Bigham, Katlyn Hicks, Hanna Hathaway and Michala Taylor,” she wrote. “As far as newcomers, I am looking forward to seeing Ryann Overboe and Ella Webber develop on defense.”

While the Indians are the defending region champions, Tyson wrote that she doesn’t feel pressure this season to defend the title.

“I actually felt a lot more pressure last season,” she wrote. “This year, we are trying to focus on rebuilding and improving each game.”

The Indians started the preseason on Aug. 13 as they participated in the Clover Hill Invitational at River City Sportsplex.

Powhatan will then travel to Trinity Episcopal

on Aug. 16 for their second primer of the season against the Titans.

Once the regular season rolls around, another change for the Indians this season will be the time of their games.

Last year, the Indians played the majority of their games in the early afternoon, around 5 p.m., due to not having lights on their field and the sun going down at an earlier time.

Now, the Indians will host their games at Powhatan under the lights, with games starting at 7 p.m.

The first game this season under those new lights will be on Aug. 23 against Cosby, a future Dominion District foe. The Titans were runner-up in Class 6 last season.

Powhatan will then face another future Dominion District adversary,

Clover Hill, on Aug. 27 at home.

The last time through the Jefferson District will start for the Indians on Sept. 4 against Orange on the road. Then, the team will alternate between home and away games, facing Western Albemarle on Sept. 6, Charlottesville on Sept. 11 and Louisa on Sept. 13.

Tyson wrote that the Indians have very straightforward goals this season.

“Our overall goal this season is to get better each game,” she wrote. “We want to be at our best by the end of the season and ready for regionals. We are also excited to continue to build the tradition of Powhatan field hockey through our JV team. We have some really athletic kids that have made remarkable progress in one week.”

Indians cross country looking ahead to season

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The newly refinished track at Powhatan High School saw its first teambased runners tread its relatively fresh surface as the Indians cross country team started its preparations for the 2018 season.

“We have a hard-working group with lots of potential for success,” Indians co-head coach Paul Smartschan wrote in an email.

The Indians girls cross country team underwent a huge turnover from last season.

Powhatan lost four seniors in Lindsey Fanz, Caileigh Dintino, Alexis Atkinson and Brooke Dippold.

Fanz was the top runner on the girls side, earning state cross-country meet berths in each of her four seasons at Powhatan.

Last year, she finished 52nd in the state with a

time of 21:03 after finishing 11th in the region meet, while Dintino was 17th, Dippold was 28th and Atkinson was 53rd.

Co-head coach Bucky Webb wrote that the team will certainly undergo a transition as it adjusts to losing four seniors.

“Anytime we lose a senior, it’s tough, especially when it’s a large group that have been leading by example and/or as captains for so many years,” he wrote in an email. “We will miss their leadership for sure, but like other graduates we’ve had in the past, we know they’ve left a positive mark on the program and their teammates.

So, now it’s time for others to step up and use that passed-down knowledge to fill in where the seniors left off, how to lead and teach others how to have fun, train well and compete hard.”

On the boys side, the team lost no seniors from

The runners of the boys cross country team for Powhatan High School begin their time trials on Aug. 9. The boys team for the Indians did not lose any seniors from last season.

last year.

Cooper Schardt was the top finishing boys runner from last year’s region meet as he finished in 18:04.

John Cavedo finished 29th with a time of 18:32, while Colton Vosburg was 30th with an 18:35. Will Paxton was 39th with an 18:46.

Smartschan wrote that at this point in the season, the Indians are focusing on having strong performances in each slot across the board.

“The great thing about cross country is that seven

runners make up a team,” he wrote. “The time and place of each teammate contributes to the score.

So, one goal for the season is always for our runners to be stronger and faster than the other teams’ one through seven runners in each race. Right now, everyone’s training hard and running strong, which will help them achieve this goal if they can keep it up.”

Webb wrote that overall the team has strength in both the new runners to the team as well as the returning Indians from last season.

“We have lots of new runners with great potential,” he wrote. “We also have lots of returning runners coming into the season with high fitness levels.”

The Indians cross country teams will have their first warm-up for competition in the form of a scrimmage on Aug. 27 against Matoaca at Pocahontas Park.

Then, the Indians will open the season on Sept.

12 against Louisa, Fluvanna and Orange at Louisa in a quad-Jefferson District meet.

Powhatan will host two meets this season: Sept. 25 against Charlottesville, Orange and Western Albemarle and on Oct. 2 against Manchester, Monacan and Thomas Dale.

The Jefferson District meet will be on Oct. 24 and is hosted by Fluvanna High School this season.

Smartschan wrote that the team has outlined a few goals for the upcoming season.

“We want to be united, smile a lot and become better runners,” he wrote.

“And, we want to win states, too.”

Cross country team newest offering from YMCA Sports Editor

The trails at Fighting Creek Park will soon become quite busy, thanks to the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA. The Powhatan YMCA is introducing a new program to its suite of offerings to members and nonmembers alike with a fall cross country team.

The team is geared toward the 8-to-14-year-old age group and starts on Aug. 21 and goes until Oct. 27.

During the season, there will be two meets that the team will participate in, which will culminate in the season finale meet at Camp Thunderbird

KNIGHTS Continued from pg.1

Huguenot Academy, Cumberland, Tabb, King William, Henrico and Deep Run, brings a new offensive mindset to the Knights.

As one of the original coaches at the school, getting Brock back into the fold was a big part of the vision that Pickett has for the team to return to the high points of the program.

“I’m so thankful that he decided to come back,” Pickett said. “It was one of the greatest things to happen. I’m happy for him, and I know he’s having a great time. That’s a big piece of what’s needed here to help restore this program.”

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will run the Single Wing offense this season. In the Single Wing, there is no true “quarterback” under center as three players (one tailback and two wing backs) line up close to the center and all three are eligible to receive the snap.

This formation creates confusion in the backfield for defenses and is a fast and versatile system. The ball can get lost in the shuffle and motion of the start of the play and it is often handed off to another of the backs for a sweep, power run or even a pass out of the backfield.

For the Knights this season, seniors Kemper Roudabush and Michael Kemp will be two of the backs in the backfield.

Roudabush would carry the “quarterback” title in a traditional offense.

“It fits Kemp’s person-

on Oct. 27.

Karen Mock of the Powhatan YMCA said that the overall goal of the program is to get youth active and support from coaches, volunteers and peers.

“It’s good offseason conditioning for youth who are already athletes in the area,” she said. “We have a great potential to foster a love of running from an early age and to progress their mileage over time. Cross country is unique in that it can serve kids of all sorts of fitness levels.”

The program will utilize the trails at Fighting Creek Park, which is located incredibly close to the Powhatan YMCA. “It’s wonderful,” Mock

said of the proximity of the trails. “Everyone can just meet at the Y and walk across the street.”

The trail and pavement combination that the Fighting Creek Park trails consist of will also be a good preparation, Mock said, for the final meet of the season at Camp Thunderbird as those trails are also a mix of dirt and pavement.

The program will also have two different groups: one for 3k mileage and the other for 5k mileage and will be based on ability, age and experience running.

Mock said the program will focus on learning the proper dynamic warmups, running mechanics

and foster teamwork and sportsmanship.

“It will serve kids all across fitness levels and will get kids active and moving,” she said.

The program expands the Powhatan YMCA’s current offerings of extracurricular activities, and Mock believes it is a good compliment to the other programs as well as any other sport that participants might be involved in.

“We are really excited,” she said. “It compliments all the other sports offerings really well. You can introduce running as a whole new sport to some of these kids. It translates well to other sports as well.”

While the team is new to the Powhatan YMCA, it

ality, he’s doing an outstanding job,” Pickett said. “Kemper, he’s the leader and holds it all together out there. Then you have Trevor, he can throw the ball or run the ball.

With us, you have to really try to find who has the ball. This system fits so many of the guys and their personality.”

Recent transfer Trevor Parker, a dual-threat player, also joins the backfield.

Fullback Chase Musselman and wideout Zander Nadeau will provide key blocking, but also are threats on pass plays.

The biggest strength of the offense will be its line, which is full of seniors from one tackle to another across the line.

Led by guard Luke Freudenthal, who is garnering attention from Division-I schools, it is a big and powerful line. Each player on the line is above 200 pounds, with all but one above 270.

“We’d put our line up against a lot of 4A and 5A schools,” Pickett said.

The Single Wing hearkens back to the shared connection of Pickett and Brock at King William and is an offense that Pickett grew up watching. “(Brock) was at King William and I was at King William,” Pickett said. “I grew up watching that Single Wing offense at King William and I have always loved it. When I came here, I thought it’d be the perfect offense.

That’s when I asked Brock if he’d come help. I told him he’d have complete control of the offense. He’s been a great mentor. I think the Single Wing just works excel-

lent. It allows us to drive the ball and eat up the clock. I think it’ll work well for us.”

On defense, McDowell only has two starters returning from last season in Freudenthal on the line and Kemp at safety.

Seniors Noa Vass, Garrett Lipscomb and Matt Dana will be big influences on the line, at linebacker and at corner, respectively.

Freshman Harrison Lee and junior Ben Fleet join Freudenthal and Vass on the line.

Junior Khadias Battle will lead the linebackers, along with Lipscomb and Musselman.

Freshman Josh Decker and sophomore Trevor Parker round out the secondary positions along with Kemp and Dana.

McDowell worked with Pickett at George Wythe High School. McDowell also coached at Armstrong High School and with the Capital City Reapers indoor football team.

“He’s a tough philosophy,” Pickett said. “That’s my forte as well…just to toughen these kids up.

They are going to be running to the ball and we have to make sure that our gaps are covered.”

The secondary has been an area of focus thus far in practice for McDowell and Pickett, with only Kemp returning to the unit.

“Matt Dana, a senior, looks like he’s been playing for 10 years,” Pickett said. “We’re really coaching these guys up and getting them running to the ball.”

The Knights will see

their first game-speed action in a scrimmage against Atlantic Shores on Aug. 17 at 3 p.m. at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will open the season on the road on Aug. 25 at 2 p.m. against Broadwater Academy.

The home opener will be against King and Queen on Aug. 31 at 7 p.m.

While Pickett said that he hopes to “fly under the radar” this season, by the end of the playoffs, he hopes that all the other teams are looking up at the Knights at the top.

“I’d love a state championship,” Pickett said. “I think we can do that.

There’s so much leadership out there. I would love to see a 2018 banner.”

is present at many other Richmond-area YMCA branches, such as Tuckahoe, Shady Grove, Goochland, Midlothian and Patrick Henry, to name a few.

This expanding program is part of an effort by the YMCA to be flexible and responsive to the different kinds of families in the area looking for ways to exercise and be active.

“There are a lot of young families around,” Mock said. “Timing is key and we need to have a wide array of offerings.

Cross country is low im-

pact and a full-body type exercise. It’s important to have a variety of offerings to accommodate anyone that comes our way.”

Mock said that several kids have already signed up for the team, with word of the team being spread through email lists as well as on social media networks such as Facebook.

The cross country team will cost $67 for YMCA members and $110 for non-members. Practices for the team will be on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

The Indians held their own in the match, finishing fourth overall with a score of 239, nine strokes behind Fluvanna for third.

Powhatan’s Cullen Biringer was the low score for the Indians with a 56. Kory

Brown shot a 59, while Connor Voorhees shot a 60. Logan Wyatt shot a 64 for the fourth score for the Indians.

Albemarle won the event with a score of 209, while Western Albemarle was second with a 222.

After Fluvanna and Powhatan, Monticello, Louisa, Orange and Charlottesville rounded out the field.

The match was shortened to 12 holes instead of the scheduled 18 due to rain.

In the first match of the season for the Indians, the team participated in the Lake Chesdin Invitational.

The field for this event was loaded with some of the top teams in the area,

In addition to the intense training program that Sloan will have to endure, he’ll also have to deal with the time difference. Amsterdam is six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time.

ville for a match on Aug. 16 against the Black Knights.

SOFTBALL The Lady Blackhawks softball team will host a benefit tournament on Oct. 7 at Fighting Creek Park.

The tournament will host a total of 16 teams, eight in 12U and eight in 14U. Those teams will play three games in pool play prior to two championship games in the Gold and Silver divisions.

The tournament will benefit Special Agent Mike Walter’s Youth Development Foundation as well as his family.

my team. I think it’s going to be a great experience.”

While in Amsterdam, Sloan and his fellow Ajax academy players will face off against players from a Dutch Academy, which Sloan said is one of the top-five academies in the world for soccer.

“It’ll be super fun, but we have to give it our all,” he said. “We want to stand out.”

Sloan said that he started playing soccer when he was around 4 years old as a way to “get by” and “run off some energy” during the baseball offseason, which was supposed to be his primary sport.

“It just stuck,” he said.

“It stuck ever since.”

Sloan said that he loves the intensity and fast-paced play of the game the most. “(I love) being able to run freely,” he said.

“You’re not stuck at one position. You can travel where you want.”

Sloan either plays the center-midfielder or for-

ward position, both of which are in the thick of the offensive action on the soccer field.

In addition to the soccer instruction that Sloan will receive in Amsterdam, he will also go on a guided tour of the city as well as the Ajax stadium and training complex.

He hopes that he can bring a lot of soccer knowhow back to not only FC Richmond, but also to the Powhatan High School soccer teams.

“I want to bring back different techniques and mindsets,” Sloan said. “If I can bring that back and make my team better, that’d be pretty exciting.”

Sloan said that he hopes to continue playing soccer through his high school career and said he would “love” to play soccer at the collegiate level.

If his performance up to this point is any indication, that dream may become a reality down the road.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING POWHATAN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

Public Notice - Environmental Permit PURPOSE OF NOTICE: To seek public comment on a draft permit from the Department of Environmental Quality that will allow the release of treated wastewater into a water body in Powhatan County, Virginia.

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: August 16, 2018 to September 17, 2018 PERMIT NAME: Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit - Wastewater issued by DEQ, under the authority of the State Water Control Board APPLICANT NAME, ADDRESS AND PERMIT NUMBER: Virginia Department of Corrections; 6900 Atmore Drive, Richmond, VA 23225; VA0020656 FACILITY NAME AND LOCATION: Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center; 3700 Beaumont Rd, Beaumont, VA 23014 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Virginia Department of Corrections (DOC) has applied for reissuance of a permit for the public Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center. The applicant proposes to release treated municipal wastewaters at a rate of 90,000 gallons per day into a water body. Sludge from the treatment process will be transported to the DOC Powhatan Correctional Center (VA0020699) for treatment and land application. The facility proposes to release the treated sewage wastewaters in the James River in Powhatan County in the James River watershed. A watershed is the land area drained by a river and its incoming streams. The permit will limit the following pollutants to amounts that protect water quality: organic matter, solids, and bacteria.

HOW TO COMMENT AND/OR REQUEST A PUBLIC HEARING: DEQ accepts comments and requests for public hearing by e-mail, fax or postal mail. All comments and requests must be in writing and be received by DEQ during the comment period. Submittals must include the names, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of the commenter/requester and of all persons represented by the commenter/requester. A request for public hearing must also include: 1) The reason why a public hearing is requested. 2) A brief, informal statement regarding the nature and extent of the interest of the requester or of those represented by the requester, including how and to what extent such interest would be directly and adversely affected by the permit. 3) Specific references, where possible, to terms and conditions of the permit with suggested revisions. A public hearing may be held, including another comment period, if public response is significant, based on individual requests for a public hearing, and there are substantial, disputed issues relevant to the permit.

CONTACT FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS, DOCUMENT REQUESTS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Morgan McHugh, DEQ Piedmont Regional Office, 4949-A Cox Road, Glen Allen, Virginia 23060; Phone: (804) 527-5133; E-mail: morgan. mchugh@deq.virginia.gov; Fax: (804) 527-5106.

The public may review the draft permit and application at the DEQ office named above by appointment or may request copies of the documents from the contact person listed above.

Public Notice: Goochland-Powhatan Community Services is releasing its Performance Contract for FY 2019 and 2020 for a thirty-day public review period as per requirements set forth

by Virginia statute. This document is available at www.gpcsb.org from August 8 through September 6, 2018. Call 556-5400 if you prefer to review a paper copy. Please file any written comments to: Susan Bergquist, Executive Director Goochland-Powhatan Community Services P.O. Box 189 Goochland, VA 23063

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to § 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, that the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors will conduct a Public Hearing on Monday, August 27, 2018, at 6:30 PM in the Powhatan County Village Building Auditorium, 3910 Old Buckingham Road, to consider and act upon the following requests: O-2018-23 (Case #18-05-AZ) Powhatan County requests the amendment and reenactment of the Zoning Ordinance of the County of Powhatan (Chapter 83), Article IV (Village Growth Area Districts), Section 83-250 (Light Industrial District) and Section 83-260 (Heavy Industrial District) to increase the maximum structure height from 35 feet to 45 feet and to allow structures to be constructed greater than 45 feet in height with approval of a conditional use permit.

O-2018-24 (Case #18-06-AZ) Powhatan County requests the amendment and reenactment of the Zoning Ordinance of the County of Powhatan (Chapter 83), Article VII (Use Standards), Section 83-438 (Standards for Specific Accessory Uses and Structures) to modify use standards associated with accessory apartment and accessory dwelling unit (detached) regarding occupation by property owners, occupation by family members, and unit construction; amendment of Article XI (Definitions), Section 83-521 (Definitions) to remove language restricting occupation of an accessory dwelling unit (detached) to immediate family; and amendment of Article III (Rural Districts), Section 83-178 (Conditional Uses) to remove accessory apartments as a conditional use within the Rural Residential (RR) District, since that use is also listed as a permitted use in Sec. 83-177.

O-2018-25 Powhatan County proposes to rename the western segment of Quail Run Road, a private road off of State Route 623 (Worsham Road), to Quail Run Hollow, in accordance with Sec. 15-8 [Authority of the Board of Supervisors to Change Street Names] of the Code of the County of Powhatan.
