Amateur radio operators aid local emergency services

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – The Powhatan Area Radio Club was formed to help local emergency services, and its members are doing all they can to make sure they are ready if called on to render aid.

In an emergency situation, communication is key, said Curt Nellis, Powhatan’s emergency management coordinator. Whether it is a massive storm causing outages, a hiker lost in the woods, or the potential for a dam to break and result in flooding, getting accurate information to the right people in emergency services so they can make informed decisions can be the difference between saving lives or not.

Nellis was aware of that fact, and as a ham radio operator himself, he knew the wide range of capabilities the medium could bring to the table. With that in mind, he started contacting amateur radio operators in the area to see if they would be willing to provide backup for local emergency communications. The result

was the formation of the Powhatan Area Radio Club (PARC) as a county-supported endeavor.

“I would utilize these guys as another set of eyes.

They would be out in the county telling me how bad is – where the trees are down, how deep the snow is, etc.

These people can radio the information to me,” Nellis said. “We don’t have the staff to do that. They can fill in the gaps and provide the ability to communicate where I can’t get to.”

Part of what makes amateur radio so reliable as a backup tool for emergency communications is that it does not require an infrastructure like cell phones and internet, said Jim Merritt of Powhatan, who was one of the first local operators Nellis contacted and recruited to help start the club. He pointed out that they have a proven track record in emergencies.

OWHATAN – When it comes to security measures being implemented in the Powhatan County Voter Registrar’s Office, the redundancies have redundancies.

POWHATAN – When Josephine “Jo” Goodman agreed to take on the mantle of the 2017 Powhatan Christmas Mother last summer, she didn’t quite know all that it would entail. Now that she does, she is truly and firmly hooked.

Of course, Goodman of Powhatan is ready to hand over the reins and the title to a new Christmas Mother, who will be unveiled at next week’s Labor Day Parade.

But as far as staying involved in the good works that the program does for the community, Goodman is 100 percent on board.

“It is a wonderful program and I am so glad I got involved with it.

is simple and unequivocal: your vote is secure.

“We want our voters in Powhatan to rest assured that we take the security and accuracy of our voting equipment very seriously. We can assure the public that their vote will not only count but it will be accurate,” she said.

Alexander sat down on Tuesday, Aug, 21 for a conversation about the security measures implemented in Powhatan County. The conversation came a day before one of the most important security measures was implemented once again, the logic and accuracy testing that took place to check the functionality and accuracy of every voting machine that will be used during Election Day on Nov. 6.

The testing was done by a technician from Election Services Online (ESO); Alexander; Jamie Swemba, deputy registrar, and two Powhatan County Electoral Board members, Cecil Jordan and Jose-

Powhatan man indicted for embezzling from trust

By Laura McFarland News Editor

A contentious civil suit situation among family members has now spilled over into the criminal court realm.

Donald J. Balzer Jr., 63, of Powhatan was indicted on Tuesday, Aug. 14 by a Powhatan County grand jury on two felony counts of embezzling funds in an amount greater than $500 from the Balzer Irrevocable Family Trust. The indictments state Balzer committed the act on or about April 17, 2014.

Balzer was arrested and released by the sheriff’s office on Aug. 15 and his arraignment is set for Tuesday, Sept. 11.

While the Balzer family has a long history of involvement in civil engineering, development and construction, Powhatan County Commonwealth’s Attorney Richard “Dickie” Cox said none of the charges are business related. They stem from accusations about how Donald Balzer handled funds allegedly taken from a family trust.

Thomas R. Balzer has filed a civil suit

against his siblings, Donald and Craig Balzer, and Mary Ann McAden in Roanoke County Circuit Court. The suit accuses Donald Balzer of stealing money from his mentally and physically incapacitated mother and the other two defendants of ignoring those actions.

The suit seeks compensatory damages and punitive damages in an amount not less than $750,000.

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently reviewed and adopted an economic development logo for county promotional materials.

The logo, which had already been approved by the Economic Development Authority (EDA), will be used on marketing materials for economic development purposes.

The board voted 4-1 in favor of the logo during its Aug. 9 meeting, with Larry Nordvig, who represents District 2, the lone vote against it.

County administrator Ted Voorhees had previously presented the logo to the board but the members were divided on whether they felt it was an effective representation of the county. The logo includes a map of Powhatan County divided up not by the districts but by major roads in the county, represented by white lines, with each of those sections a different color.

Voorhees pointed out at that time that the EDA had decided to use it and he was checking to see if the board also wanted to approve it so there would be more of a unified branding.

At the Aug. 9 meeting, Voorhees said he brought it back before the board because a supervisor had seen it and made the assumption the county was starting to use it more broadly, so he wanted to address that. He brought coffee mugs and pens with the logo printed on them to show how it was being used. It will also be on banners at events, he said.

“The board has made a decision on this matter when I presented the option of using it more broadly that this wasn’t quite

what they wanted. I think what we got from it was the typeface was fine and the picture of the county would need to be modified from the one that is on your coffee mugs and pens to not show those white lines,” Voorhees said.

While the board at the time was willing to adopt the logo 3-2, he said it wasn’t quite embraced and he set the matter aside for the time being. However, the EDA was happy with the logo and went ahead and started using it.

lines are major thoroughfares, he likes it better, he said.

Bill Melton, District 4, agreed, saying he was fine with it before and he thinks the county should have consistent branding.

Each of the other board members had an opportunity to speak and didn’t.

Nordvig, the lone vote against, simply said, “It won’t do any good.”

When asked to clarify, he said that to him, a logo should be iconic and instantly recognizable, and

“If the board would like to leverage this particular branding opportunity and revisit this issue and use it more broadly, now that you see how it looks on a mug and a pen and a banner we use at events,” Voorhees said. “If you think that is something maybe we can come back to and adopt for countywide branding I am happy to bring it back to the board.”

David Williams, District 1, said he thinks branding should be unified for the county. Now that he has seen the logo and better understands that the white

yet the color patterns of the new Powhatan logo are difficult to distinguish, and have no obvious meaning.

“Some have already confused the pattern with Powhatan’s voting districts. When reduced to thumbnail size, or reproduced on the side of a pen, it’s difficult to tell what it is. These are not good qualities in a logo meant to advertise Powhatan to businesses and residents outside the county who are unfamiliar with us,” he said, adding he didn’t want to prolong the dialogue unnecessarily.

No injuries in three-vehicle crash in Powhatan A three-vehicle crash occurred in the early morning on Thursday, Aug. 23 involving an onduty Powhatan County deputy but resulted in no injuries reported at the scene.

The accident occurred at about 6:45 a.m. on Aug. 23 at Anderson Highway (Route 60) and Old Buckingham Road (Route 13), according to a release

from the Virginia State Police.

The trooper's preliminary investigation reveals that a 2013 Dodge Charger, driven by, Vernon Grady, 48, of Gum Spring, was attempting to turn onto Route 13 from a crossover from Route 60.

As Grady was pulling out, a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon, driven by, Shontal Cruz, 28, of Powhatan, was traveling eastbound on

Route 60 and struck Grady in the right lane of Route 60. As a result of the collision, Grady then struck a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe in the opposite lane of travel on Route 13.

There were no injuries reported at the scene and the crash remains under investigation.

The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Thursday morning that Grady is a

Powhatan deputy and he was on duty and in a sheriff’s vehicle. It also released a statement saying that due to the accident being part of an ongoing investigation by the state police, it would not make any further comment at this time.

Grady was charged with failing to yield right of way, and Cruz was charged with no operator’s license.

Backpacks of Love, nonprofit committed to eliminating hunger in school-age children by providing nourishing food for their weekend, needs help.

In addition to the constant need for donated individualsized food items, adults or students are needed to double bag the plastic bags the group packs in, which will help expedite the packing process. (This job can be done at home if people pick up bags at the pantry office.)

The group also needs help breaking down boxes for recycling. This job should be done weekly preferably on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and/ or Thursdays after packing days. These are great jobs for students looking for community hours. Contact Gloria at 804-598-2723.

Baltimore also described Goodman as easy to work with, not easily flustered, softspoken but decisive when she needed to be, and dedicated to the Christmas Mother program.

“We didn’t know when we agreed to be the Christmas Mothers we had signed on for life. We all say the same thing. Jo has said she has signed on for life and she can’t wait to get started again,” Baltimore said.

As far as achievements during the 50th anniversary year, for the first time in several years, the Christmas Mother program is the closest it has been to the hope of having a permanent home. Goodman gives all the credit for that endeavor to Carleton and Baltimore, who were relentless in their search to find a permanent space.

the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors and School Board on May 15, Dr. Jason Tibbs, director of facilities for the school district, presented a plan that included a recommendation of turning the school’s cafeteria into a space for the Powhatan Christmas Mother program.

If those plans go forward, the Christmas Mother program likely wouldn’t be able to occupy the space until 2019, Carleton said. In the meantime, the committee learned a few weeks ago that the Armory wouldn’t have space for them this fall to set up inventory there as they had in 2017.

Last year, after items that were being held in a room at the Armory were selected as gifts, they were transported to May Memorial Baptist Church to be wrapped.

May Memorial is still welcoming them back to wrap presents in the basement, Carleton said, but they had to scramble to find another large space to hold the inventory for six to eight weeks.

Carleton said she spoke again with Tibbs, who has arranged for them to use the former band room at Pocahontas Middle School this season, starting Oct. 22.

“We are very excited that we have the band room,” she said. “There is enough room we can make that work.”

needs of survivors to the mainland and connect people unsure of the fate of their loved ones.

When wildfires damage or destroy cellular phone and internet infrastructure in California in some areas, amateur radio has helped fill in the communication gap.

The implications don’t even have to be that far-reaching or dire, said Tom Douglas of Powhatan. For as much as amateur radio can amaze by connecting people around the world or across the country, it can also allow someone to talk to another operator 2 miles down the road.

So far, the one event the club has been called on to help in a practical way was the Free Clinic of Powhatan Bike Ride. A ham radio operator was stationed at each of the check points so if a biker needed support or emergency services needed to be contacted, the information could be relayed quickly. This can be especially helpful in rural areas where cellular and internet coverage are spotty or nonexistent.

The club participated in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise by broadcasting for 24 hours non-stop on June 23 to 24 at Fighting Creek Park.

The goal of Field Day is to demonstrate ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network.

They also practice emergency communications protocols on a weekly basis, Merritt said.

Currently, there are seven members of the club, but they are hoping to attract more, both as a way to pass on the tradition of amateur radio and to help build up the force of amateur operators trained and ready to help, Nellis said.

In addition to Merritt and Douglas, the other PARC members are Raymond Robins, Wil Braithwaite, Carl Cash, Doug Shackelford, and Ray Stuart.

In the coming months, PARC has a variety of events and activities planned to both strengthen their own skills and test capabilities as well as hopefully attracting new members. This can be people of any skill level and with interest in the broad spectrum that makes up amateur radio communications. As several of the PARC members pointed out, amateur radio encompasses everything from old tube-type ham radio equipment all

the way up to modern digital solid states.

Some of the club’s upcoming endeavors include: Powhatan Area Radio Club meets at 8 a.m. on the third Tuesday of every month. The group starts with breakfast at County Seat and then moves at 9 a.m. to the emergency operations center in the basement of the Village Building.

For more information, contact Curt Nellis, at 804-598-5677.

On Saturday, Sept. 15, the club will host the first fox hunt in the region. In this case, the fox will be Nellis, and he will be posing as a rogue transmitter.

The hounds are not limited to club members. It can be any person who uses radio equipment as they try to detect the location of a transmitter. Participants do not need to be licensed as they will not be transmitting.

Examples of rogue transmitters would be people transmitting illegally to cause intentional disruption of the airways, emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) from a downed aircraft, or a lost hiker who is wearing an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB).

complete, all of the machines were sealed and secured in specially designed cages, where they will remain until the election to make sure there is no tampering, she said. This process is done before every election before absentee voting begins.

“All of the machines have been tested and they are ready to go.

They are in tip-top shape for the election. They have all been tested and sealed,” Goodman said.

Jordan, who has been an electoral board member for about six years, said he has seen the voting process change and become increasingly secure in the last several years. Part of that is down to the model Alexander has implemented in her office and part is thanks to the excellent partnership between the office and the county, which has provided resources to help make the process better and more secure, he said. This includes loaning generators and lights or providing extra security when needed.

Alexander cited a number of security measures that give her confidence to say every Powhatan vote will be counted exactly as voters intended: Alexander is required to write and provide a security plan to the state every year that details all the special

The briefing will be held at 9:30 a.m. at the soccer field picnic shelter at Fighting Creek Park and the hunt will go from 10 a.m. to noon, unless the fox is found in less than two hours. The event is free and open to the public. If it goes well, the club hopes to make it a monthly event.

A weather spotter training class as part of the SKYWARN program of the National Weather Service will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department, 1959 Urbine Road. The class will teach participants to recognize severe weather and describe it appropriately to the National Weather Service.

PARC is hosting the event. The class is free and open to the public but registration is required. Register at www.weather.gov/akq/SKYWARN. On Saturday, Oct. 20, PARC will be at Camp Justice in Powhatan demonstrating ham radio capabilities to local Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts to help them understand how it could be of use.

Nellis applied for and received a $25,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security to put repeaters on

the top of the newly constructed water tower in the Village area to improve communications capabilities. Nellis said as soon as the he gets the OK from the public works department, he will move ahead in plans to have the repeaters installed at the top of the 185-foot tank.

“They are basically providing coverage on the frequencies we use that are currently nonexistent. We are filling in a gap in Central Virginia. Coverage in those areas has been spotty at best,” Nellis said.

This will have the added benefit of increasing into rural areas of Cumberland, Amelia and Goochland counties that currently have difficulties hitting repeaters in Richmond.

measures she takes in her office to maintain proper measures of security.

The county’s database of voter information is controlled by the Virginia Department of Elections, “which has very competent and sophisticated encryption and cyber security in place to protect all voter information,” Alexander said. The same security is used in her office.

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in April 2015 to replace decertified WINVote touch-screen voting machines with optical scanners that scan paper ballots, Alexander said. With the older machines, there was the concern that they had outside accessibility and thus could be tampered

with, she said. That accessibility function was never turned on in the Powhatan machines, but they were decertified because they contained the capability.

None of the current voting machines have any sort of internet accessibility, so they cannot be hacked remotely by any outside sources, Alexander said.

Similarly, when voters come into a polling precinct with an ID, they are checked in by poll workers using the poll books. Two computers at each site are physically connected because they also do not have wireless capability.

There are several security measures that address the human element of the voting process. Poll workers go through intensive train-

ing. They are configured in such a way that there are members of each political party who work at the polls together. They make sure there are checks and balances in place to ensure no one has an opportunity to do anything corrupt.

Additionally, all of the county’s election officials take several oaths of office that hold them accountable under federal law for their activities and behavior during the election, Alexander said.

“We go above and beyond to ensure the security of our voting process,” Alexander said.

The voting process in Powhatan complies with state and federal standards for elections, Jordan said, but even if those standards change, “we will, too.”

Flier aims to brighten day of total strangers

By Laura McFarland News Editor

H

ave you ever gotten a compliment from a stranger?

You don’t know them and they don’t know you, but they were willing to break that new person barrier to say they like your outfit or praise you for your work. It’s a good feeling. It may be a little awkward when it comes out of nowhere, but it can still be a really good feeling.

And when people are having a bad day, it can seriously make a difference on their outlook on that day.

To be honest, when I first saw the sign, I was having a good day. I had gotten up early to make sure I was on time to take first day of school photos at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School. As always, the kids looked great, and the tiny preschoolers and kindergarteners made me ooh and ahh over their cuteness.

I then worked a little before my first interview of the day in the Village Building, which also went well. I had to go out to my car to get something, and, on the way back in, among some other fliers on the wall advertising services and events, one in particular caught my attention. It said “Take a compliment!”

At the bottom, in little vertical tear-off strips, were indeed little compliments for people to tear off and brighten their day. Several had already been taken. The ones that remained were: “Your hair looks fantastic,” “You radiate good vibes,” “Look at how awesome you are,” “You are doing a great job,” and “What you do is appreciated.”

Like I said, I was having a good day. But seeing that sign made it just a little bit brighter, as I am sure was the intention.

I asked around to find out who had placed the sign there and learned the source was Larissa Carpenter, case management supervisor for the Goochland Powhatan Community Services Board. The agency provides a variety of mental health and developmental services for

people in the community.

When I talked to Larissa, she seemed tickled that her flier had made that much of an impression. We had a nice conversation, after which I was even happier I went looking.

Larissa estimates she started putting up the fliers around the building early this year and she replaces them about once a month. She had seen something similar in a toy store in Richmond and thought she would try it in the place where she works. So, she made a flier, adding her own compliments.

The signs are never the same, she said, although some of the more consistently popular compliments do keep making it onto the fliers.

Her favorite is “You are rocking this outfit,” and she admits she has taken it a few times herself. “I definitely believe you can do this” is one of the more popular compliments.

“That is one of the first ones that gets taken off, so I usually put it on there each time,” Larissa said.

I asked Larissa why she thought the fliers would be a good idea. Because of the services Goochland Powhatan Community Services Board offers to people in need, sometimes their content can be pretty serious. She just wanted to put something out there to bring a little happiness and cheer to somebody’s day.

“Everybody is getting all of these negative messages all the time that they need to do something better than they are already doing or change something,” she said. “I thought they could find (a compliment) they identified with that made them feel nice about themselves.”

Everyone has a bad day sometimes, and sometimes it is the small things in life that can completely turn someone’s day around. It’s a heartfelt thank you for a job well done or an unexpected smile from a stranger that distracts you from negative thoughts.

Or maybe it’s a simple flier that tells you to take a compliment and makes you feel like “You are valued for who you are.”

Guest commentary

Changes in store for new school year

By Dr. Eric Jones Special to Powhatan Today

A

s Labor Day approaches, we are excited to welcome back our students for the 2018-2019 school year. This promises to be an exciting year with a few milestone changes. The most visible change is the opening of Powhatan Middle School. This facility will be a modern and inviting building for our students and staff, but will also serve as a resource for the community with athletic, meeting and performing spaces.

Dr. Eric Jones We welcome the community to tour this state-ofthe-art school at 2 p.m. on Sept. 29 when we hold a dedication ceremony and open house.

The second major change will be the realignment of our elementary attendance zones. A community-led process modified existing attendance zones to most effectively use the capacity at our three elementary schools. Current enrollment figures show that the committee hit their target of student enrollment at 85 percent of capacity or less at each school. Students and families who are moving schools will find a welcoming environment that will feel like home in a very short time.

Finally, a steering committee of 45 community members led us on a path to a new Strategic Plan that will guide our actions for the next six years. The school board is scheduled to adopt the new plan next month. Our new vision statement is “Empowering Today to Innovate Tomorrow” and our new mission is to “Prepare Students to Thrive in a Global Community.”

In keeping with our new vision, PCPS will continue to adapt and grow by offering students new opportunities. This year we will be offering new agriculture, fire safety, and engineering courses for our students at Powhatan High School. We also have a goal to increase student well-being through increased social and emotional learning opportunities for students at all levels.

A continued focus on school safety is evidenced through staff training, updated school crisis planning, student training, new equipment, and our valued partnership with the sheriff’s office. Student and staff safety is our primary responsibility and we will continue to make every effort to ensure that our schools remain safe and inclusive learning environments.

Best wishes for a great 2018-2019 school year. We recognize that the support of our community is essential to our success. Do not hesitate to contact us if we can ever be of service to you.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Affordable housing in the eye of beholder Dear Editor, It has been my belief that affordable housing is a misnomer, because affordable means different things to different people. There is a widespread belief that affordable housing is designated for wageearners on the lower scale of income.

Think about it this way; a family earning $100,000/year might see affordable as paying $2,500/month for rent or mortgage. A family earning $50,000/year would see affordable as $1,200/month.

One need then to consider, a person earning $30,000/year what would they consider affordable?

Some questions we may ask.

In today’s world, where housing costs (rental or ownership) are rising steadily and salaries are not keeping pace with those costs, how then does a person earning $30,000/year afford to provide a roof over their head? At $30,000/year, affordable would equate to $750/month using the same percentage (30 percent of monthly income) as in the examples above. If you recall back a few months when the South Creek apartments were under consideration the lower end of the rent scale was in the ballpark of $600 to $1,200 per month BUT WOULD BE SUBSIDIZED by you the taxpayer. Using

market rates (non-subsidized), the median rental price in Chesterfield County* for an average age dwelling (50 percent older than 25 years) is $1,123/month. Therefore, it can be assumed if a non-subsidized townhouse development were to be built in Powhatan and a reasonable portion were rentals, the rent would be somewhat higher due to new construction but would be based on an average market rate of somewhat above $1,100/month. Again, out of range of what a low income earner would consider affordable.

To further emphasize the issue, currently in the Western Chesterfield / Midlothian area, 1,869 apartments are either under construction or are planned as follows: 236 apartments by Sowers - Emerson, 445 apartments by BWS enterprises, 238 apartments by Guy Blundon, 250 apartments at Winterfield Crossing, 450 apartments by Castle Development, and 250 apartments by Rebkee Company. On some rental pricing starts at $1,000/ month. So if the outcry from some in our community and some of our elected board members is for affordable housing, do they want subsidized housing since the days of $600/ month rentals are long since past? Combining the apartments coming to Western Chesterfield and the rentals already in Powhatan, where is the need for rental apartments?

We live in a more affluent area. That’s nothing to be ashamed of, nor is it to be 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

criticized; it just is. If we were to look at the issue in another way it may become clearer. Maybe we should ask why are some folks OK with earning $30,000/year salary? Flipping hamburgers is not a career, it is an entry-level job. Like many other jobs, it is a beginning not an end. If you are earning minimum wage, you align with someone; a friend, a partner, a spouse, a family member and combine your incomes to afford your rent. You prioritize. You forgo $300 sneakers, an expensive cell phone or over-priced clothes.

Live at home a little longer. Go to school and start a career instead of being satisfied with just a job. Why do millions of people want to come to America? It’s a land of opportunity and has been for a long time.

We need to stop crying about affordable housing and start bettering ourselves so as to afford housing that is available. Stop looking at someone else to help you; go help yourself.

Oh yes, one more segment of the “nonaffordable” crowd are those whose income is in the range of $50,000 annually and still bemoaning high rents. Take a step back and look at your priorities. Eating out, new car, pricey travel. Whatever happened to “if you can’t afford it, don’t do it”? There is plenty of affordable housing out there for everyone; it’s called living within your means. John F. Kennedy once said, “ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your

country.” Let’s change it just a bit to “ask not what your county can do for you but what you can do for yourself.” *Source: Chesterfield County Housing report 2016 Don Silberbauer Powhatan County

Washington, D.C. should be ashamed Dear Editor, A parade honoring our servicemen and women has long been discussed in Washington, D.C. This would be timed for the 100th anniversary of World War I this year and would be held on Veterans Day weekend. Every Active duty service member, veteran, guardsman, reservist and patriotic American should be insulted by the City of Washington, D.C.’s over estimate of the costs of a Veterans Day Parade, which apparently has caused the parade’s cancellation. It sends a message similar to the one my father encountered in California on his way out to the Pacific at the beginning of World War II, which said, “No Dogs or Sailors Allowed.”

Hang your head in shame D.C. Richard F. O’Hare Powhatan County

lessed Sacrament Huguenot only completed one pass in the season-opening game on the road against Broadwater Academy on Aug. 25.

That pass went for 46 yards.

The Knights’ running game did the rest.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot rushed for 521 yards on the ground in a 51-34

win over the Vikings to open the year with a win.

“It felt pretty good for the kids,” coach Shawn Pickett said. “I think they were pretty excited. It was a long bus ride, about five hours, but we got it done. It was good for morale and a good way to kick off the season.”

The Knights and Vikings were tied 6-6 after the first quarter, but Blessed Sacrament Huguenot outscored Broadwater Academy 21-14 in the second quarter to head into the break with a 27-20 lead.

The third quarter kept the status quo, as both teams scored eight points, but the Knights opened up the lead for good in the fourth quarter, scoring 16 points to Broadwater’s six.

Pickett said he was pleased with how the new offense looked against the Vikings.

“Whenever you put 51 points up, that’s a good thing,” he said.

Michael Kemp rushed 13 times for the Knights for 169 yards and scored one touchdown.

Trevor Parker rushed 14 times for 129 yards and three touchdowns and found the end zone on a two-point conversion as well.

Kemper Roudabush added 139 yards on 22 touches and two touchdowns as well as two-point conversion.

“Kemper’s leadership in the fourth quarter was something the other players picked up on,” Pickett said. “He closed out the game for us. He grew up 10 years in that fourth quarter.” see KNIGHTS, pg. 2B

Powhatan football readies for season opener at Midlo

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s Gavin Clark (48) caught a touchdown pass from Jacob Moss in the first half of the scrimmage against Collegiate on Aug. 23.

Powhatan’s football team had a good showing in its first pre-season game against Clover Hill.

The Indians continued that trend in its second exhibition game against Collegiate at Powhatan High School on Aug. 23.

“I thought we did well,” coach Jim Woodson said. “Much better than the first scrimmage. Our execution was much better and the attitude was better. I think that they played with more enthusiasm. It helps when it’s nice and cool and we had low humidity. They played well tonight, with a good motor. It was a positive scrimmage.”

That motor and energy was something

that Woodson said was important to see from his team with the opener just one week away from when they played.

“We’ve got to get everything ready,” he said.

Throughout the scrimmage, Powhatan had nice plays on both sides of the ball.

On a drive by Collegiate in the first half of the scrimmage, the Collegiate quarterback threw a deep ball to one of his receivers.

Powhatan’s Aaron Nash was stridefor-stride with the Cougars receiver and Jared Somerville was able to come over from his safety spot and intercept the long pass.

Powhatan battles back, but falls in five sets

owhatan’s volleyball team came out and set the tempo in the first set on Aug. 22 against Hanover at Powhatan High School.

Unfortunately for the Indians, despite a dominant fourth set and leading by six points in the fifth set, Hanover took down Powhatan 13-25, 25-14, 25-18, 21-25, 15-10.

“It’s frustrating,” Indians volleyball coach Amber Foos said. “I’m proud of the way they played, except for the second and third set. I’m not happy about that. We’re making a lot of errors, but tonight was the first night to see where we sit. Hanover’s always a good team.”

In the first set, Powhatan’s Sierra Ellison got the first of her 18 kills to bring the set even at 2-2.

From there, the Indians started to grab control of the set, with Ellison scoring two more kills to go up 5-2.

Hanover crawled back in the set to make it a 9-7 game after a kill from Meghan Kratzer, but two points from Jordan Davis and an ace from Madelyn Turner swung the favor back toward the Indians.

Later in the set, Star Bryant scored an ace that was the start of a 4-1 run for the Indians that sent them to a win in the first set.

Overall, the Indians looked in control of set one, with Hanover looking

out of sorts and committing several unforced errors.

However, the Hawks flipped the script on the Indians in set two, as they came out and set the tone in set two.

Hanover scored seven of the first 10 points to take a commanding lead in set two.

Powhatan eventually got within one point, after Bryant scored a point to bring it to 11-10, but the Hawks responded with an 8-0 run that swung the set firmly in Hanover’s favor.

The third set started off with the Indians tying points with Hanover twice within the first 10 points of the match, including backto-back kills by Ellison to bring it to 5-5.

But, Hanover’s main hitter, Kratzer, scored three of the next six points as part of a 6-0 run that put a gap between the two teams that the Indians would not be able to overcome.

The fourth set looked much more like the first one, a set in which the Indians dominated.

“It’s always tough to come back after losing two sets in a row,” Foos said.

“Had they lost the first two sets back-to-back, I’m not sure what would have happened.”

Two errors by the Hawks and two kills by Ellison put the Indians quickly ahead 4-0 in set four.

Rachel Mueller scored back-to-back points to increase the Indians lead to 13-5 in the middle of the

set after the Hawks had tried to gain some momentum.

Later in the set, after some unforced Powhatan errors, Hanover came within three points of the Indians’ lead twice.

The first was at the 1512 mark, which gave Hanover the serve after a quad-hit from the Indians.

Bryant and Mueller were able to score two points in a row to preserve the Indians lead.

Then, at 17-13 after another Powhatan error, Davis scored two of the next four points, along with an Ellison kill and an error from the Hawks, to distance the Indians once again.

Along with Ellison’s 18 kills, Davis added 10. Bryant had four.

“Sierra is hitting the crap out of the ball out of the outside,” Foos said.

“Jordan had some huge hits in the middle. Hats off to her too, she’s having to transition from the middle to the outside and set up those blocks. Star has been a great addition and she’s one to watch this year.”

The Hawks would get no closer than within three points of the Indians lead for the remainder of the set and Bryant scored the setending kill to send the game to a decisive fifth set.

“The fifth set is always the toughest to win,” Foos said. “Both teams are exhausted by that point.”

Powhatan came out of the gates on fire in the fifth set, capitalizing on errors by the Hawks and

“We have some growing pains still,” he said.

“We have a lot of young kids who are inexperienced. We definitely need to learn to hold on to the ball—we had three turnovers. Defensively, we’re

still working on some things since we have four or five kids who haven’t played before. We’re still working on it.”

Pickett said that the morale of the team was certainly high among the players after the win, but they’re not resting on their laurels.

scoring kills from Mueller, Bryant, Ellison and Davis to jump out to an 8-3 lead.

After a Hanover timeout, however, the tide began to turn.

Hanover scored a kill, an ace and scored a point on an error by the Indians to make it an 8-6 game.

Kratzer then took over, scoring point after point and consistently finding gaps in the Indians defense.

After Hanover gave Powhatan a point with a service error at the 9-6 mark, Kratzer scored six of the final 10 points of the match and gave the

Hawks the win.

“It’s frustrating to lose to a team who has one main hitter,” Foos said.

“We have five. We have three hitters on the front row every single time and in reality they only have one. But, she’s a good hitter. Our defense needed to line up and our blocking. It was more defensive tonight, more than anything, especially with our blocks. We weren’t getting over there fast enough to put up the block.”

Powhatan was originally scheduled to host James River on Aug. 27, but that match was moved

to Sept. 17.

The Indians will participate in the Richmond Volleyball Club showcase tournament on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.

Powhatan’s next true regular season game, as the showcase games are limited to three sets, will be Sept. 5 against Clover Hill at home.

“It’s frustrating to lose a five-set match,” Foos said about the game overall. “But, overall, we did see a lot of positives. In all, they played well. I think they played well. I saw a lot of good things.

We still have some work to do.”

“They rested this weekend, but are looking forward to getting back to work to get ready for King and Queen.”

The Knights will host King and Queen on Aug. 31 in its first home game of the year.

Pickett said that the Knights will certainly

work hard to fix some of the issues they encountered in the opener prior to the game against the Royal Tigers.

“It goes back to the fundamentals,” he said.

“When you have kids who have never played before, you have to get back to the fundamentals.

I’m proud of those guys though for stepping up and playing their senior year at BSH. They’re doing a great job.”

Cosby bests Powhatan 3-0 in season opener

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

F

or the first time in the history of the Powhatan field hockey program, lights illuminated the field and allowed the Indians to play later than they ever had before on their home turf.

“I watched them go on and I was like ‘wait, I’m playing a game, but I want to watch my lights,’” Powhatan senior Calie Rehme said. “It was really cool. It doesn’t feel like we’re on our field. I love it. It makes you feel like you were playing under the Friday night lights.”

Unfortunately for Rehme and the Indians field hockey team, the inaugural game under the lights at Powhatan did not yield a win as the visiting Cosby Titans shutout Powhatan in a 3-0 final on Aug. 23.

“I feel like we are getting better each time we play,” coach Stephanie Tyson said. “We have a whole lot of newcomers, a lot of players without a lot of experience and a whole new defense. I saw some good things. I saw some things that we need to work on.

INDIANS Continued from pg.1

an’s Jacob Moss found Somerville for a 12-yard gain. The soggy field hampered Somerville’s efforts to get more out of the gain as he fell trying to turn upfield, but it was a needed first down nonetheless.

Later on that drive, Moss threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Gavin Clark, who brought in the catch between two defenders for the score.

Moss was throwing to some new faces as the Indians had two receivers missing from the lineup.

“Jacob played well,” Woodson said of his quarterback. “He made some nice throws. Our two top receivers were out. We had some guys come in and did a great job.”

Somerville and Colby Cheatham were two re-

But, we went into today, and this season, knowing that we’re looking to get better each game.”

Cosby put the Indians defense right to work as they gained control in the first few minutes of the game.

The Titans scored off a corner attempt in the third minute to make it 1-0.

Cosby had corners in both the fifth and sixth minutes as well, one of which found the back of the cage to make it 2-0 Titans.

Around the 17th minute of play, after a diving save

by Indians keeper Emily Stephenson and a good clear by Michala Taylor, Tyson called timeout and gathered the team together.

Following that timeout, the Indians looked like a different team than they had up until that point of the game.

The offense came alive, led by Danielle Bigham, Madeline Cecil and Rehme, and was able to put significant pressure on the Titans defense.

In both the 18th and 21st minutes, Bigham found Cecil deep in Cosby territory, but the ball was well defended by Cosby.

In the 22nd minute, the Indians earned three corners in a row. Bigham, Cecil and Rehme all had shots on net during the exchange, including a scramble in front of the Titans net, but Cosby was able to clear the attempt without a mark on the scoresheet.

In the 27th minute, Powhatan had two more corners after Hanna Hathaway forced the issue on a play in the Titans defensive zone. But, like the first three, both of these chances fell by the wayside.

“We made some adjustments and I feel like we won the second half of that first half,” Tyson said.

“That was our goal. We had some shots and chances, they just didn’t go in.”

Cosby opened the second half with a corner opportunity and Stephenson made another diving save to keep the Titans off the scoreboard.

Just five minutes later, the Titans offense sent a shot on net that ricocheted off the post and back into the field of play.

But, in the 50th minute, Cosby scored on a laser shot from the top of the circle to make it 3-0.

In the 56th minute,

Rehme got the ball on Cecil’s stick all alone in front of the Cosby keeper, but Cecil couldn’t find the back of the net.

The Titans are a Class 6 school, two classifications higher than Powhatan, but also a future Dominion District opponent.

Tyson said that she and

assistant coach Caryn Rehme purposefully put challenging teams on the schedule to make the Indians better.

“I always think it’s good to play better people,” Tyson said. “It’s been our goal to make our schedule as hard as possible, so when we get to the

postseason or district play, we’re ready for it.”

The Indians faced another future Dominion District foe in Clover Hill on Aug. 27 at Powhatan in the second game of the season before hitting the road for the first time this season at Orange on Sept.

ceivers who filled in for the missing players that were pointed out by Woodson.

Jacob Taylor continued his strong pre-season as he had several powerful runs against the Collegiate defense.

Taylor broke tackle after tackle as he fought for, and often got, extra yardage. On several runs, it took multiple Cougars defenders to bring him down.

In the live-action part of the scrimmage, Taylor broke loose for a long touchdown run. Cheatham had a big downfield block on the play that enabled Taylor to find open spaces to the end zone.

“I was very pleased,” Woodson said of Taylor’s performance. “He had some nice runs.”

Woodson noted that the offensive line of the Indians performed well

and were the starting point thian began its season on Aug. 24 with a 17-7 win for Taylor’s strong runs.

“They don’t get a lot of over Douglas Freeman. stats,” he said. “But, this coaching staff knows that they are the reason.”

As it has the last few seasons, Powhatan will open the season against Midlothian.

The one thing that the Indians will specifically need to work on prior to the matchup with the Trojans is special teams.

Woodson said that they’ll be installing that during practice prior to the Midlothian game as it wasn’t a focal point in either scrimmage.

Powhatan has some potential opportunities against the Trojans defense as well as Midlothian returns just one starter in the secondary.

The one advantage that the Trojans do have over the Indians is game experience in 2018. Midlo-

“We’re excited,” Woodson said. “It’s very difficult to duplicate the

game speed and timing.

So, they’ll be a little ahead of us.”
