Parade highlights community By Laura McFarland News Editor
P
OWHATAN – While hot and humid weather may have kept some of the usual crowds away from the Powhatan Lions Club’s annual Labor Day Parade, organizers say it ran smoothly and still attracted a good community turnout. Hundreds of people lined the streets of the parade route on Old Buckingham Road, braving an almost cloudless sky and unrelenting heat as they waited to watch the parade entries. Leading up to the parade, 57 entries registered to participate and only four of them didn’t show up on the day, said Greg Vieira, parade coordinator. The heat was especially a concern for the parade

participants, but Vieira said people came prepared. “I think everybody coped with it very well. Everybody had water, es-
pecially for the kids,” he said. The parade featured a combination of new and returning participants that included Powhatan Fire
and Rescue, multiple Scouting groups, dance groups, car and motorcycle groups, civic clubs, politicians, and more. see PARADE, pg. 8

POWHATAN – Old and new came together last week when construction workers broke through the walls of the Powhatan County Courthouse to begin connecting it to its expansion building. About a year after construction began on the $3.6 million building being added onto the back of the courthouse, the end is close at hand, although not as close as county officials would like.

Conk changes plea to guilty halfway through trial By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The trial of a 19-yearold University of Richmond student for involuntary manslaughter took an unexpected twist on Friday, Sept. 7 when the defendant changed his plea from not guilty to guilty in the middle of the case. Earlier that day. Richard James Conk, 19, of Camden Wyoming, Delaware, had pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the case involving a head-on collision in Powhatan County that killed Michael Issac Thompson, 22, of Midlothian. The two-vehicle crash happened just before 4:42 p.m. on Feb. 15 near the intersection of Huguenot Trail (Route 711) and Aston Trail. Conk, driving a 2002 BMW M3, was accused of traveling eastbound on Huguenot Trail and attempting to pass

another vehicle on a hillcrest when he struck a 2004 Honda Civic driven by Thompson head on as he was traveling westbound. After Conk’s initial guilty plea, the trial proceeded as planned in Powhatan County Circuit Court. Judge Joseph M. Teefey Jr. presided over the selection of a jury and then the start of the trial. As the trial began, Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney read out a list of
facts that the defense and prosecution agreed were not in dispute: an autopsy showed Thompson died of blunt force trauma from injuries sustained in the car crash; blood tests showed neither Conk nor Thompson had any substance, legal or illegal, in their system that would have impaired them; Conk was not using his phone while driving, and both sides agreed on the state code’s definition of what double yellow traffic lines mean. Cerullo called seven witnesses to lay out his case against Conk. After Cerullo rested his case, the jury was sent out and one of Conk’s defense attorneys, Abraham Del Rio III, made a motion to strike the evidence presented in the commonwealth’s case. Teefey denied the motion, saying the prosecution had met its burden of proof on several points, including showing possible see TRIAL, pg. 3

O B I T UA R I E S MARY BROWN Mary Alice Brown of Powhatan passed away on Monday, August 27, 2018. She leaves to cherish her memory her husband, Earl W. Brown; daughter, Gloria G. Brown (Alvin); grandchildren, Tamika, Michael and Erica; great-granddaughter, Aaliyah; sisters, Barbara Ann HowBROWN ell and Dorothy C. Archer (Albert); sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law and a host of nieces, nephews and close friends. Remains rested at Mimms Funeral Home, 1827 Hull St. Funeral services were held at noon on Thursday, September 6, at Second Antioch Baptist Church, 1059 Dorset Road, Powhatan. Interment church cemetery.
MARTHA FLEMING Her Lord called Martha Oldham Fleming home on Monday, August 27, 2018, surrounded by family and much love, after a blessed life of 96 years. She has rejoined her husband, Jerry Mercer Fleming; her parents, Elmer and Cora; her sisters, Sarah and Catherine; and her FLEMING brother, William. Martha was born on September 23, 1921, in Athens, Georgia. She and Jerry married in 1940 and welcomed their daughter in 1946. The family later moved to Suffolk, for a short time and then settled in Norfolk in 1956. Since 2000, she had resided at Lakewood Retirement Community in Richmond. Martha led a full life that included serving her church in many capacities and participating in various clubs and organizations through the years. One of the things she was most proud of was her role as a teacher at Spurgeon Memorial Baptist Church in Norfolk. Singing was a joy to her, whether it was with a choir or with her siblings at family reunions. She was known for her elegantly set tables, holiday parties, and memorably delicious meals. Her special spice was love. Martha cared very much for her family. Upon her move to Richmond, she and her daughter, Pat, bonded with a new closeness. They shared a love of shoes and all things Southern, and enjoyed discussing politics. One of Martha's most cherished roles was as a grandmother. Amy and Lori are heartbroken at the loss of their Nana. Martha and Jerry happily spoiled them. Despite the special treatment, the grandparents set an example of humility for the girls and helped them learn the importance of family and of counting blessings. When her Nana role extended to
great-grandchildren, her giving heart held even more love for them, and she felt blessed to be an active part of their lives. She is survived by her sister, Evelyn Westbrook, of Tiger, Georgia. Also left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Patricia Fleming Randall, of Powhatan; granddaughters, Amy Parsons (Bill) Roper of Richmond, and Lori Fleming Parsons of Powhatan; great-grandchildren, Hope, Joseph and Adam; four generations of nieces and nephews; her "bonus" great-grandchildren, Miguel (Molly), Emily and Quinn; and two very special members of the family, Jesus Santiago and her devoted correspondent, Jerry Parsons. The family thanks our extended family, friends and Lakewood residents for their prayers, love and wishes for peace over the last months. We also thank the Lakewood staff for making Martha feel special and well-cared for, notably Susan, Laura, Joan, Margaret and Charlotte. We are especially grateful for two very special nurses, Heather Cahill and Gretel Mangigian. Nana was sometimes feisty about following their advice, but she knew their hearts and grew very fond of them both, as did we. A Celebration of Life will be held for Martha/Mrs. Fleming/Aunt Martha/Nana at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 20, at Lakewood, 1900 Lauderdale Drive, Richmond. Interment in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Norfolk will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Lakewood Benevolent Fund or Derbyshire Baptist Church, both in Richmond.

TRIAL Continued from pg. 1
criminal negligence, for a jury to decide the case. He then granted a request for the defense to confer on their next move. When court resumed, Del Rio renewed his motion to strike, which was again denied. In light of that decision, Conk’s other defense attorney, Paul Galanides, said his client would be changing his plea to guilty. This means that Teefey, rather than a jury, will decide Conk’s punishment. A presentencing report has been ordered and an Oct. 9 scheduling date will decide when Conk is sentenced. Cerullo tried unsuccessfully to have Conk’s bond revoked. The case laid out by Cerullo started on an emotional note with testimony by Morris Thompson, Michael Thompson’s father, who employed his son as a commercial loan broker. Father and son left work early the day of the accident, with Michael Thompson planning to take care of car maintenance before going to Powhatan to play golf. One of the last things Morris Thompson said he told his son was to be careful, and his son replied that he didn’t have to worry about him. “I am not in a hurry going anywhere. I am just trying to stay out of people’s way,� Thompson recalled his son saying. Thompson and his wife,
Denise, were out of town when they were contacted by the Virginia State Police trying to locate them. After they were told troopers would come to meet them, they started calling all of their seven children to make sure they were OK. Michael was the only one they couldn’t reach. His testimony ended with describing two state troopers coming to meet them and tell them that there was an accident and Michael hadn’t survived. Another emotional moment came during the testimony of Powhatan Fire and Rescue Chief Steven Singer, who was driving on Huguenot Trail that day and started giving medical aid. Conk was out of his car with what would later be revealed to be a broken ankle, but he was alert and conscious, so Singer focused on first breaking into Michael Thompson’s car and giving aid. He said Thompson was shallowly breathing and had a low pulse when he arrived, so he tried to keep his airway open. By the time more help arrived about 10 minutes later, he had died. Cerullo showed a photo of Thompson’s body in his vehicle laying on his deployed airbags, at which point several family and friends were overcome and left the courtroom. Cerullo called several other witnesses whose testimony centered on road conditions and the events
that led up to the accident. Double yellow lines were mentioned repeatedly by expert and civilian witnesses both for their meaning and the necessity of having them at the hillcrest, where neither direction of traffic can see what is coming from the opposite way. The witness closest to the accident when it happened was Brandi Ahearn Bower, who was driving the vehicle that Conk tried to pass on Huguenot Trail. She described a BMW approaching her aggressively from behind and tailgating. When she tried to get some space and sped up to about 58 mph, which was a few miles over the 55 mph speed limit, she said the BMW also sped up. As she approached a crest to a hill near Aston Trail, she saw the BMW trying to pass her. She noticed the oncoming Honda Civic seconds before the crash. She saw the Civic trying to swerve to the right and the BMW trying to swerve to the left and the two collide in her rearview mirror. She park down the hill and let oncoming cars know before heading up to the hill to see if she could help. In his cross examination, Galanides asked several questions implying Bower could have somehow avoided the accident by pulling over to the shoulder or warning the approaching car and even asked if she was somehow blocking the BMW from
returning to its lane. She told the lawyer there was no shoulder, no time to warn the other car, and that the BMW was mostly across the line but had not passed her. Bower’s recounting of the accident was corroborated by Trooper S.C. Albert, a member of the state police reconstruction team, who used physical evidence found at the scene of the accident to reconstruct how the crash occurred without interviewing any witnesses. He testified that the crash could not have happened if the BMW was in its correct lane. After Conk entered his guilty plea, Morris Thompson said he felt better knowing it was proved his son hadn’t done anything wrong in the accident. “As a father, my primary responsibility is to take care of my family, and there were days before today where I just felt like I let him down. He was my son, so I was so supposed to protect him, and I didn’t,� Thompson said. “I got a little closure on that today because he did everything he could do, including trying to drive off the road, which is what he was always taught to do.� At the same time, the knowledge that his son was killed while doing everything he was supposed to has robbed him of some feelings of safety on the road, he said. Morris Thompson was

Richmond Region Tourism reports $2.4 Billion in visitor spending in 2017 Contributed Report Data released by the United States Travel Association (US Travel) and commissioned by the Virginia Tourism Corporation reveals that Richmond Region Tourism partner localities – including the counties of Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico and Powhatan, the town of Ashland and the city of Richmond – generated more than $2.4 billion in travel spending in 2017, representing a 5.3 percent increase compared to the same timeframe in 2016. All of Virginia’s 133 counties and independent cities saw an increase in tourism compared to the previous year, resulting in $25 billion in travel spending statewide. With $916 million in spending, Henrico County ranked fifth in the state for total domestic travel expenditures. Travelers spent $9,349,186 in Powhatan in 2017. This includes lodging, foodservice, recreation, etc. In 2016, this number was $9,268,856. Tourism supported 94 jobs in Powhatan and the overall payroll of people working in industries that contribute to visitor spending was $1,786,319. Tourism spending in Powhatan contributed $332,485 in state taxes and $193,937 in local taxes. All data was received by the Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) from US Travel and is based on domestic visitor spending (travelers from within the United States) from trips taken 50 miles or more away from home. “Tourism continues to play a significant role in the success of the Richmond region,� said Jack Berry, Richmond Region Tourism President and CEO. “The Richmond Region Tourism team works year-round to attract leisure travelers and meetings, conventions and tournaments to the area through cutting-edge marketing and sales. The latest tourism data is a positive sign and reflects the continued growth and appeal of the region.� Richmond Region Tourism data reveals that hotel and motel sales in partner localities grossed $367,431,751 for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 – a 6.2 percent increase over the last fiscal period. “One of the leading indicators of strong tourism is hotel and motel occupancy, which continues to increase across the region,� said Neil Amin, Richmond Region Tourism board chair and Shamin Hotels CEO. “Development groups are preparing for increased growth with several new hotel projects on the horizon.� Tourism in the region supported more than 23,700 jobs in 2017 and generated more than $163 million in state and local taxes. Statewide, tourism resulted in 232,000 jobs and $1.73 billion in state and local taxes. “Virginia’s tourism industry is an important diversifier for our economy as it continues to grow and flourish in multiple regions of our Commonwealth,� said Governor Northam. “Travelers are coming to Virginia from across the country and the globe to experience our rich historic attractions, unmatched outdoor recreation offerings, eight oyster regions, world-class food and craft beverages, beautiful landscapes, and exciting arts and culture. These visitors are spending millions of dollars a day, injecting critical funds back into our community coffers and helping to make Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family.� “Our tourism industry is an important and vital component of economic growth and job creation in Virginia,� said Brian Ball, Secretary of Commerce and Trade. “As the tourism sector continues to grow and new product is developed, our communities across the state become even more dynamic and vibrant. Tourism is fortifying towns and cities across the Commonwealth, engaging and unifying our communities, and making it easy to for travelers to discover for themselves why Virginia is for Lovers.� For more information about Richmond Region Tourism and its partner localities, go to www.visitrichmondva. com.

Board mulls items focused on county’s future growth News Editor
POWHATAN – Although the topics varied widely, a number of the items considered by the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors at its last meeting came down to the issue of how the county will develop in the future. The board had a full night of presentations, discussions and votes at its meeting on Monday, Aug. 27. Among them were several subjects that boiled down to the idea of developing a cohesive vision of Powhatan County’s future and implementing the ordinances and practices that will help achieve it.
The board had a lengthy discussion on an amendment to the zoning ordinance regarding increasing the maximum structure height from 35 feet to 45 feet in the Light Industrial (I-1) and Heavy Industrial (I-2) Districts. They ultimately voted 3-2 in favor of approving the amendment, with David Williams, District 1, Angie Cabell, District 3, and Bill Melton, District 4, voting for it and Chairman Carson Tucker, District 5, and Larry Nordvig, District 2, against it. This amendment allows structures within the I-1 and I-2 zoning districts to be constructed up to 45 feet in height. Taller structures may be permitted with
approval of a conditional use permit (CUP). Andrew Pompei, planning director, pointed to a timeline of maximum heights allowed in the industrial areas dating back to 1974 with the Manufacturing (M-1) District and then starting in 1983 with Industrial. The accepted maximum height from 1974 until the current ordinance was adopted in 2014 was always four stories or 45 feet. Pompei said he could not find any documented reasons the maximum height dropped to 35 feet in 2014. Pompei also provided a chart with some of the maximum heights in industrial areas al-

legitimate that were quality issues that the contractor had to go back and redo,” she said. A big part of quality control has involved having county employees Mark Piper and Christian McIntosh visit the construction site daily to check on the work, Carter said. “We’ve had to stay on the contractor about some quality issues and just kind of make sure they correct and do things properly, but I think that is the nature of matching with a historic courthouse. Matching brick and matching existing concrete finishes is tough, but they’ve struggled a little bit with it,” she said. Despite the delay, Carter said the project is currently still within budget. The county now also has its bid for the furniture and dispatcher consoles, which is $126,217. The two-story addition will tie onto the back of the courthouse and include a sally port for prisoner movement that will have two entrances – one on the back and one on the northwest side of the courthouse; a new 911 communications center that can house more staff and the new 911 computer aided

Phase 2, which has now begun, involves creating access between the two buildings. The two phases have overlapped to save time but since there is still a significant amount of work to be done, the buildings are not completely connected yet, Carter said. Despite the delays, several people who were included in a tour of the building on Thursday, Sept. 6 were impressed with the project so far. After the tour, Circuit

dispatchers get up into a less combined space where they can actually have enough room to work.” John Rothert, president of the Powhatan County Historical Society, visited the expansion for the first time with the tour. Rothert handled an addition to the original courthouse in the 1990s and said the new addition matches the courthouse nicely. “They’ve had bad weather and bad luck with that, but they’ve come along. Speaking for the historical society, we are pleased at the progress they have made and how compatible everything looks,” he said. Those in charge of the last addition to the courthouse worked with the Historic Landmarks Commission to make sure they didn’t make any detrimental changes to the building. “Some counties have lost their historical designation by doing improper things or incompatible things to their courthouse,” Rothert said. “That is why we went down with the basement we have, not to dwarf the courthouse. So coming out the back at the same elevation as that I think has turned out to be very nice.” He added that when all of the work is complete, the
blanket statement. He preferred the idea of taller structures being approved via a CUP. Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, said increasing the maximum height to 45 feet would help economic development in industrial areas. He said the height is still somewhat lower than some other surrounding localities but given Powhatan’s rural nature, what is appropriate in those areas may not be appropriate here. Nordvig said he would like to see the height left at 35 feet with language added allowing for taller structures with a CUP. When considering a project, he said he

Court Judge Paul Cella said he thinks the project has been very nicely done. Sheriff Brad Nunnally said it is nice to see the progression and that the building is close to opening up. The building will improve 911 communications just by giving the department more space, and his office will be able to use the new sally port to bring prisoners in much more safely and efficiently. Chief Deputy Adam Sadler said it was exciting to see the two buildings coming together. All of the people with input in the project meet regularly to stay updated on the project.

James Kunka of Powhatan, who spoke during the public hearing, said he lives near an industrial area, which he later clarified was zoned agricultural when he bought his house. If a 45-foot building were built on that property, it would be taller than the surrounding trees, he said. He added that the board would be losing some of its power to oversee growth in those areas by setting the height at 45 feet. Also during the public hearing, Tim Britton, a resident of 25 years, said his family moved here for the greenery and they felt like passing the ordinance with an allowance of 45 feet feels like a

tic horseback rides to veterans with disabilities. But during that celebration, they took time to remember and honor Lonesome Dove founder Clint Arrington, who died on April 23, 2017, due to heart complications after a stay in the hospital. Despite the large crowd in attendance, when the time came to honor Arrington’s memory and dedicate a memorial in his memory, Lonesome Dove was “beautifully silent,” said Karen Ylimaki, secretary/treasurer. “With over 250 people there, it was so beautifully silent. They did the 21 gun salute and played Taps. The flag was folded and given to Clint’s grandson. The silence was so beautiful and touching,” she said. William Hunter Arrington said the event was a special day for him because so much was done to honor his grandfather’s memory. It felt like his grandfather was there speaking to him in a way, he said.
William Arrington described his grandfather as a “teacher, role model, and a carer.” He said he taught him about working hard and respecting yourself. “Clint always held his head high, shoulders back, and his chest back and never backed down form anything. Clint was a carer; he built LDEC not just for him but he knew he could help people that are in need. That is what he did and he is still doing it to this day,” William Arrington said. He added that he appreciates Clint Arrington’s dream is carrying on even after he is gone. Lonesome Dove president Steve Nelson said he could not give enough praise to the Steel Warriors for the way they continue to support Lonesome Dove, both at the nonprofit’s biggest annual fundraiser and throughout the year. “This year they have donated an ATV, 100 tons of rock dust for the riding ring, and organized the motorcycle ride for Lonesome Dove. In total their support of our program will exceed $14,000,” Nelson said.

Left, a memorial has been erected to the memory of Clint Arrington at Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center. During the Horses for Heroes Ride, his grandson, William Arrington, right, was presented a flag in his honor.
Their contributions go a long way toward Lonesome Dove’s annual fundraising goal of about $55,000, but the club members also give their time and hard work, which are essential, Ylimaki said. When you are sworn into any branch of the service you become part of a brotherhood that continues throughout your life, said Sante "Sam" Reedy, recorder for the Steel Warriors. You swear to protect and defend this great nation against any and all acts of aggression and to leave no person behind. The nation’s veterans are being left behind, and it is the brotherhood's responsibility to do whatever can be done to ensure their survival, Reedy said. “The event that was held this past weekend is one minor way we continue to support our brothers. The Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center does so much good for our brothers by making them feel better about themselves and (giving) them a better quality of life,” he said. To watch the motorcycle club members arriving at Lonesome Dove as a group was almost an overwhelming experience, said Dave Emigh, LDEC board member. To witness this level of support from the motorcycle club, and the support from the community to Lonesome Dove, is both humbling and rewarding,
he added. “It was an amazing day of community, and giving of everyone’s time and talents to support our veterans. It was a festival with a great purpose for everyone who attended,” he said. “To me, it was a perfect day of celebrating with good music, good food, with a close community of hundreds of friends. We are grateful to all who came out.” In the end, the purpose of all of Lonesome Dove’s activities are to bring attention back to the amazing veterans it serves, Emigh said. “I wish everyone could see the faces of these men and women when they can get out of their wheelchair and up on horseback, or the confidence so many of our veterans regain by riding, or just having some fun for a few hours,” he said. “Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center is one of the most rewarding programs I have ever been associated with. I always look forward to being there at every opportunity. It is an honor to be able to have some fun with our veterans every week, and see the positive results for them.” For more information, visit http://ldequestrian.com.

Local parade showcases what county offers By Laura McFarland News Editor
T
he best part of a parade for this writer is the “what’s next” moment. In the last four years of working for Richmond Suburban News, I have attended many parades. In addition to live streaming the Labor Day and Christmas parades put on in Powhatan each year, I cover the Cumberland Christmas Parade (when not canceled by weather) and judge the Mechanicsville Christmas Parade with some co-workers. And with all of them, even if you know the group that is next in the lineup, the fun is in seeing what they will do to surprise and entertain their audiences this year. It is a sense of excitement that transcends age as long as people go with an open heart and mind. Some might think attending that many parades would get old. I have actually had people ask if it is boring to see the same things every year. But as last week’s Labor Day Parade proved once again, that is anything but true. For me, parades are one of those unique events where the old and the reimagined can be as exciting as the new. I’ll give you a few examples. One if the highlights each year for many people is listening to music provided by the Powhatan High School Marching Band, and

always asks himself what it would look like through his windshield. He doesn’t want to decrease the rural feel of Powhatan County for the sake of money. “To broad brush 45 feet anywhere, that would affect 447 acres and 86 properties. I think that is going a little too far if Powhatan wants to keep rural,” he said. “And, as Mr. Kunka also pointed out, there really is no downside if we leave it at 35 and we put in some language, black and white, that has a CUP. I think we get the best of both worlds there and I don’t think we should pass that opportunity up.” Melton said he went back in his notes and couldn’t find any reason or documentation for why the height was reduced from 45 feet to 35 feet. Additionally, he said CUPs make getting loans more complicated for businesses. Nordvig spoke again, saying this ordinance is an example of the tension that exists in Powhatan between going for growth and money or keeping the county rural. He felt staying at 35 with a CUP opportunity for higher would be a good compromise. He made a motion to amend the ordinance to reduce the proposed maximum structure height from 45 to 35 feet, but after continued discussion, that motion ultimately failed 2-3. Melton then made a motion to pass the ordinance as presented and it passed. Other business handled at the meeting included: The board discussed an amendment of the zoning ordinance to modify use standards and definitions associated with accessory dewellings. Currently, accessory apartments and accessory dwelling units (detached) must be occupied by the property owner, a member of the owner’s family, or a domestic servant employed on the premises, according to Pompei. The proposed amendment would require that the owner live on the
this year was no exception. They not only performed well but deserve my full respect for doing so in unrelenting heat while wearing their full uniforms and marching down the street. When we have local Scouting groups participate, they create fun and creative floats to ride on and show off some of the great activities they use to engage our local young people. Similarly, it is always wonderful when local dance schools, martial arts schools, music programs, or other extracurricular programs give local children and teens a chance to showcase their skills and hard work. The Purple Heart fire engine has become a staple of Powhatan parades, but it was excellent to see the veterans in places of honor riding on top this year. As always, we are grateful for their service and the service of so many other men and women in this nation’s history. As usual, it was wonderful to see the 2018 Christmas Mother and Father, Pat and Larry Lyons, in their first official appearance. The program is such an important part of Powhatan’s identity as a community and how it opens its heart, so it is fascinating to meet the people who will be the public face for the next year. I am not a big car lover, but even I appreciate some of the beauties that are driven in the parade, ranging from tricked-out classics to more sleek modern versions. Really, the parade provides a plethora of wheeled
property, but would remove restrictions stating that the accessory dwelling may only be occupied by a family member or domestic servant. It would also provide clarification regarding the use of manufactured homes as accessory dwellings, he said. A good portion of the discussion involved in this amendment revolved around discussing the difference between manufactured homes and trailers and the quality inherent in both. Melton questioned why the board was getting involved in a homeowner’s decision on the type of housing they are allowing, focusing on manufactured homes. He pointed out some manufactured can be done well. During the public hearing, Don Silberbauer urged the board to approve the ordinance because it would allow people to earn extra money by providing more housing and answer the call for affordable housing in Powhatan. After much discussion, the board voted unanimously to defer the motion but have the staff look at the amendment again and rework it to allow manufactured homes with conditions that make sure they fit in with its surroundings. Cash proffers, which had been a traditionally straightforward vote for more than a year, got a little more complicated at recent meetings. Another applicant came before the board with a request to amend the proffer statement on certain undeveloped lots from $7,236 to $1,880 per dwelling unit. Traditionally, these votes pass without much discussion on a 3-2 vote, with Williams and Nordvig always voting against them. Tucker was absent at the July 30 meeting, so a tied vote meant the issue carried over to the Aug. 27 meeting. But rather than the issue passing immediately as usual, Tucker kicked off a discussion about cash proffers and whether it was time to reevaluate the board’s decision to continue reducing them. The board had a discussion about their original reasons to start reducing the cash proffers, how cash prof-

fers are calculated, how legislation affected their decision, how the set $1,880 cash proffer amount was decided on, and restrictions on the board regarding proffers. After much discussion, the board ultimately reduced the proffer on the two lots in question in the usual 3-2 split. The board voted unanimously to rename the western segment of Quail Run Road, a private road off of State Route 623 (Worsham Road), to Quail Run Hollow. The change impacts seven different addresses. According to Pompei, the reason for the suggested change was because the county has learned that this situation makes it difficult for emergency responders to determine which direction to travel when responding to calls for service. To provide clarity for emergency responders, Powhatan County is proposing renaming the western segment of the roadway to Quail Run Hollow. Three people spoke during the public hearing on the ordinance change, with two against the change and one for it. Regina Reams pointed out that minutes count in an emergency situation and the inconvenience of a name change doesn’t outweigh someone’s life. Roy French and David Fens both argued that there are four businesses on the road who will have to change all of their business materials if their road name changes. They suggested posting a sign with arrows toward all of the addresses on either side. The main sway in the board’s decision to vote for the name change seemed to come from Fire and Rescue Chief Steven Singer, who talked about the difficulty fire engines have turning around on the road if they respond to the wrong address. That has happened on two calls, he said. Sheriff Brad Nunnally said his deputies don’t have many difficulties turning around if they go down the wrong street. A few board members pointed out public safety is their No. 1 charge and needs to be their priority. Then they voted to change the street’s name.
vehicles to appeal to a wide variety of enthusiasts – cars, trucks, jeeps, fire engines, ambulances, motorcycles, go carts, heavy-duty work trucks and semi-trucks, buses, and even tractors. We also got to see the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office showing off its new black patrol cars, which is what its cars will look like going forward. Of course, it also is great to get some new blood. I have only been here four years, but it was the first time I saw county government as a whole represented with a parade entry. It was encouraging to see county administrator Ted Voorhees walking alongside employees in public works and emergency 911 communications but really representing all county staff members. Usually when I speak to people after parades, the one word that comes up repeatedly is community. There is no way every interest or activity that takes place in Powhatan could be represented in the parade - who would be left to watch it? But what I love about the annual Labor Day Parade and others like it is that it is the living embodiment of the idea that we are all different and have different priorities, but we can still come together to celebrate our community and the elements that make it uniquely Powhatan.

will be offering a Wednesday morning Montessori based Christian formation program for children (ages 3–6) beginning Sept. 19. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) program is centered on contemplation and enjoyment of God. St. Luke's program, which is also offered on Sunday mornings during the school year, is designed to meet the specific spiritual needs of the child and is supported by a loving church community. The Wednesday morning program provides an alternative option for parents in the community who are seeking to involve their child in a Montessori-based Christian experience. Each of the three "Catechists" has over 100 hours of training and is a certified CGS instructor. The classes will meet in a special area called the Atrium, which has been carefully prepared with everything the child will need to explore and grow in their faith and knowledge of God's love for them. The program will run Wednesdays from 10 to 11:15 a.m., and parents will be able to leave their child at the church for that time. The church nursery room is also available for parents and younger siblings who wish to stay on site during the program time. There is no cost to attend the program. Interested parents may contact the church office at 804-794-6953 for further information and to sign up for a program orientation and introduction.

rade attendee. Having lived in Powhatan almost a year after moving from Florida, he heard about the parade and wanted to check it out. “I got to see a lot of businesses and organizations I didn’t know this town had,” he said of the parade. However, his favorite parts were seeing some of the classic cars as well as the tractors that represent part of Powhatan’s rural identity, which is part of why he moved here. In addition to planning it, Vieira had a special connection to the parade
this year because he had two granddaughters participate with Stars in Motion. Although he didn’t get to see them perform, Vieira said it was great to watch his granddaughters enjoying the parade. “The people in Powhatan have a strong sense of community and that’s what brings them out. They really care about the place they live in and want to show their support. I think that’s a great thing,” he said. Laura McFarland may be reached at LmcFarland@powhatantoday. com.

Powhatan’s Jacob Taylor (2) ran the ball 29 times for 231 yards and two touchdowns in the Indians’ win over Caroline on Sept. 7. Taylor has rushed for over 200 yards in each of the first two games of the year.
Taylor scores twice, defense shuts out Caroline By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
P
owhatan’s game plan going into its matchup against Caroline was simple—run, run and run some more. “That’s what we hang our hat on,” coach Jim Woodson said. “That’s our football.” Well, mission accomplished. Jacob Taylor led the Indians with 29 carries for 231 yards and two touchdowns
and the defense pitched a shutout in a 21-0 win over Caroline on Sept. 7 at Powhatan High School. “We got the shutout, that’s what we were shooting for,” Woodson said. “(Caroline’s) offense was difficult to prepare for. We did a super job of digging in.” After a 30-minute delay to the start of the game due to lightning, the Indians defense didn’t miss a beat as they didn’t allow any positive yards to the Caroline offense on the first two drives by the Cavaliers.
The stout defense led to great field position for the offense and the Indians (20) didn’t waste it. On the second drive of the game, it took just two runs for Taylor to find the end zone from 3 yards out to make it a 7-0 Indians lead. Caroline’s offense wasn’t able to produce much against the Indians defense thereafter, only crossing its own 40-yard line after the Cavaliers defense picked up a fumbled snap by the Powhatan offense. Even then, the next play by Caroline
was a snap over the Cavaliers’ quarterback’s head that went for a 10-yard loss. The Indians defense allowed just 175 yards total to the Caroline offense on the night, with Jared Somerville grabbing an interception as well. Collin Lawson and Xavier Trotman each had four solo tackles, with Chase Gayness racking up five assisted tackles. Powhatan’s offense kept chugging along with Taylor being the bell cow of the night. see INDIANS, pg. 4B
Knights rally in second half for win over Fuqua By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
FILE PHOTO BY JOHN BEEBE
Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Michael Kemp gave the Knights a lead they would not relinquish after his 72-yard touchdown run on Sept. 7.
After a glowing sky of offensive fireworks in the Aug. 31 win over King & Queen, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s offense was silent in the first half of their Sept. 7 game against Fuqua. But, the Knights wouldn’t be held down for long. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot stayed true to its run-first formula and scored 26 unanswered points to defeat the Falcons 26-6 on the road at Fuqua. “We laid an egg in the first half,” Knights head coach Shawn Pickett said. “The seniors showed a lot of leadership in the locker room during halftime. They stepped up in the second half and turned things around.”
The Falcons scored on a 27-yard pass in the second quarter, as the Knights failed to tally a score in the first half. In the third quarter, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Trevor Parker tied the game with a 22-yard touchdown run. The twopoint conversion failed. Then, senior Michael Kemp broke loose and ran for 72 yards for a touchdown to give the Knights a 12-6 lead after another two-point conversion was unsuccessful. “His run was a big play for us,” Pickett said. The Kemp touchdown signaled the last time that Fuqua would be within a single score of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot for the remainder of the game. see KNIGHTS, pg 3B

their regular season grind with a match at home against Clover Hill on Sept. 5. The Indians didn’t lose a beat after the showcase and took down the Cavaliers in straight sets 25-8, 25-12, 25-12. “It was a good game,� coach Amber Foos said. “We saw a lot of good things out there. We had a couple different lineup changes. I got some of my younger players in there to get some playing time tonight. Overall, I think they looked good. They worked on some things this evening, like their shots and their defense. It’s hard when you’re playing a team that is a little weaker, but they need to play their game and focus on what they’re doing.� In set one, the Indians took control from the getgo and didn’t look back. Star Bryant scored two of the first five points with kills and Natalie Mueller had an ace as well in the 5-0 opening run. Mueller and Bryant accounted for three of the next four points for the Indians, as Mueller scored a

kill and a block and Bryant had an ace. Sierra Ellison and Jordan Davis started getting warmed up as they scored a few kills each later in the set and the Indians were rolling on the Cavaliers. The Indians went on a 5-0 run and a 4-0 run as they left no doubt in the first set. Clover Hill came out in set two and battled point-for-point with the Indians through the first nine combined points. The Cavaliers didn’t lead by more than one point during that run, however, and the Indians were able to outpace Clover Hill. An unforced error by the Cavaliers gave Powhatan a 5-4 lead and the Indians took advantage to set the pace in set two. A kill by Ellison spurred a 5-0 run that turned a 9-5 set into a 14-5 one in the blink of an eye. Later in the set, Ellison, McKenzie Urbine and Bryant all had points during a late 8-0 rush for the Indians in the 25-12 win. Set three was more of the same for Powhatan. While the Cavaliers were able to jump out to a
3-1 lead early in the set, it was not long before Powhatan asserted itself once again. Led by a point by Natalie Mueller, the Indians went on a 5-0 run that gave them a 9-3 lead. Bryant had back-to-back aces during that run. Powhatan kept Clover Hill at bay throughout the rest of the set without much difficulty and completed the sweep with a 25-12 win. Ellison had 15 digs and eight kills for the Indians in the win over the Cavaliers. Bryant added six kills, five aces and two blocks, Davis had 10 kills, four blocks and two aces and Lauren Llewellyn had 18 assists, three blocks and two aces. On Sept. 7, the Indians secured an impressive win over Jefferson District rival Western Albemarle. Powhatan came out fast against the Warriors, taking game one 25-7. Western Albemarle led 13-4 at one point during the second set, but the Indians started a comeback that led to a 27-25 win in set two. The Indians completed the sweep in set three with a 25-18 win and dis-
patched the Warriors in an impressive win. Ellison had 20 digs and 15 kills in the win over the Warriors, while Davis had 11 kills and two blocks. Llewellyn added 23 assists, four blocks and three kills. Over the Labor Day weekend, the Indians played a host of teams at the Virginia Volleyball Showcase. On the first day, Powhatan faced Kellam, Colgan and Woodrow Wilson in three-set matches. Kellam swept the Indians, while Colgan took two of three. Powhatan swept Woodrow Wilson to end the first day. On Sept. 1, Powhatan swept Midlothian and then dropped two of three to Washington and Lee. Foos said that she was happy with how the team performed at the showcase. “We saw some good things there,� she said. “We lost to some teams that we probably shouldn’t have lost to. It’s one of those things where we see they are totally beatable; we just can’t finish the set. That’s a lesson for them to learn and they need to keep pushing forward.�

Powhatan field hockey explodes for four goals in win Powhatan field hockey coach Steph Tyson said that her team has struggled at times this season to put the ball in the back of the net. If the performance against Western Albemarle on Sept. 6 is any indicator, those struggles might be a thing of the past. Powhatan scored four goals, three of which came in the second half, in a 4-0 rout of the Warriors. “For the past couple weeks, we’ve been working on finishing,” Tyson said. “We’ve been having a tough time. We always felt that once we got one goal, more would start coming. The flood gates opened up tonight. Four goals against Western is amazing; it’s something we’re really excited about.” The majority of the first half saw the Indians have plenty of chances, but they couldn’t convert more often than not. Powhatan’s Hanna Hathaway had chances in the sixth and 11th minutes, but neither shot was able to find its way past the Western Albemarle keeper. Katlyn Hicks was next with a chance, taking a shot on net, but it was deflected away. The Indians had corners in the 18th and 21st minutes, both with good

Parker added another touchdown in the third quarter, this one from 32 yards out. He converted a two-point conversion which made the score 20-6. Then, the Knights defense got in on the scoring, as Harrison Lee picked off Fuqua’s quarterback and ran the interception back 41 yards for a touchdown and the final score of 26-6. “It was a big win for us to go on the road and beat a rival,” Pickett said. It was quite the turnaround from last season, as Fuqua put up 56 points on the Knights. The run game was the focus for the Knights, with a combined 47 rushing attempts in the game to just two passes attempted, both of which were incomplete. Kemp ran 11 times for 154 yards with the one touchdown, while Parker ran 17 times for 121 yards and two scores. Kemper Roudabush ran 14 times for 80 yards, with Chase Musselman adding five carries for 22 yards. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot is now at 3-0, which is one win shy of its total wins from all of last season. Pickett said that he and his team expect to win each time they step on the field. “I told them when I got here that I wanted to win a state championship this season,” he said. “They’ve all bought into that.” The Knights are scheduled to play on Sept. 15 at home against Portsmouth Christian, but Hurricane Florence might hinder those plans. While the weather situation might be untenable at best, Pickett said that it might be a good thing considering the team’s offensive style. “The rain might help us since we don’t throw much,” he said.
pressure applied to the Warriors, but couldn’t convert on either chance. After two more corner opportunities in the 26th and 28th minutes, the Indians finally broke through in the waning seconds of the first half. Powhatan quickly set up a corner as time ticked down from 10 seconds remaining, and Maddie Cecil was able to score with an assist from Calie Rehme to make it 1-0. “I ran on and saw the ball and shot it in the corner,” Cecil said. The set piece plays have been a point of emphasis for the Indians in practice this year. “Calie, Katlyn and Dani (Bigham) are primarily the ones we have been using,” Tyson said. “Those three are carrying us in general. Dani is so tough and is working so hard. There’s more to her game than scoring. Calie and Katlyn in the midfield…we can play with anyone in the midfield. We’ve dominated everybody. Hopefully we just keep going in that positive direction.” Just four minutes into the second half, Powhatan found the back of the net again as Hathaway scored to make it 2-0. Michala Taylor added her name to the scoresheet in the 41st minute, coming up from her defensive position on a corner play to
put the loose ball into the net. “It brought me back to last year to when I played forward,” she said. “I just really wanted the goal.” Tyson said that it is the second time in Taylor’s three seasons that she’s played defense for the Indians. She played defense her freshman year, followed by forward in 2017 before moving back to defense this season. “We want her to push up as much as we can,” Tyson said of Taylor. “I think that that worked well for her tonight. She had her best game so far this season tonight.” Taylor said she thought the team overall had a good showing against the Warriors. “I think we did well,” she said. “All the work and conditioning…practicing and running in the summer and the heat, that was big for us.” Haleigh Edwards scored the fourth goal of the game in the 59th minute off a corner chance for the Indians to put it at the final of 4-0. The goals by Edwards and Cecil were the first goals either player had ever scored for the Indians. “It was good to see, they’ve been working really hard,” Tyson said. Powhatan’s offense maintained possession throughout much of the

“Coach (Gary) Brock, our offensive coordinator, has just done a wonderful job teaching the kids and making it really simple for them to learn,” Kemp said. “Our offensive line just works so well as a unit, and then (senior) Michael Kemp and Kemper Roudabush are great and disciplined kids. They’ve bought in to the system and that makes a big difference.” The scoring continued in the second quarter, as Parker took off for a 31yard score with the twopointer coming from Roudabush. Parker led the Knights in rushing with 131 yards and three touchdowns for the game. Another long touchdown run came from Musselman, who rumbled in from 24 yards out and converted on the two-point attempt. A 12-yard touchdown run by Parker and a two-pointer from Musselman put the Knights up 48-8 at the half. The Knights would score one more time early in the third quarter, when Roudabush fired a pass to freshman Zander Nadeau, who broke free for a 34yard touchdown. An extra point from Kemp put Blessed Sacrament Huguenot 55-8 for the final margin of victory. Pickett was pleased with the team’s improvements from the first game to the second: “We put up 55 unanswered points, which is great. Just keeping it simple defensively was key. I would say half of our defensive starters have never even played football before, so the key is definitely keeping it at their level to start and growing from there.” Contributing Writer Ellis Hopson provided the story from the Blessed Sacrament HuguenotKing & Queen game.
Blessed SacramentHuguenot continued their explosive start to the season with a 55-8 win over King & Queen Central on Aug. 31. After a victory over Broadwater Academy in their season opener, the Knights continued their offensive prowess while also displaying improvement on defense. The night started off slowly for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, as the Royal Tigers drove out to their own 33-yard line before fullback Charles Mills broke through the Knights’ defense and took it all the way for a 67-yard touchdown. A successful twopoint conversion put King & Queen up 8-0 early. However, the long touchdown run would be the only sign of weakness from the Knights on the night. The Knights answered back on the next drive, making their way to the 1-yard line before senior Jack Lyons plunged over the goal line for BSH’s opening score. The Knights’ defense shut down the Royal Lions again on the next drive, and would go on to shut out King & Queen for the remainder of the game. “We just kept it simple for the defense from that point on,” Pickett said. “The kids just went out and played, never got down and they got the job done for us tonight.” Offensively, the Knights scored on two more drives before the first quarter came to an end. Roudabush ran it in from 2 yards out and successfully converted on a two-point attempt, and Parker scored a 7-yard touchdown before converting his own two-point play. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot led 24-8 after one quarter.

The win was the second of the week for Powhatan as they defeated Orange on the road on Sept. 4. Hathaway had the goal for the Indians in that game. The defending region champions have begun the season 3-1. “I’m just really proud Call your sales rep today • 598-4305 of all our teammates for working hard at practice and showing it in our games,” Cecil said of the 3-1 start. Tyson said that the team is certainly further ahead in its progression than she expected. “I always have faith in them,” she said. “We’re a little further ahead of where I thought we’d be at this point.

Roundup: DeLeon’s touchdown seals Yellow Jackets win By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
In the Sept. 8 win over Averett, Powhatan High School graduate Justin DeLeon almost rushed for as many yards in one game as he did in the entirety of the 2017 season for RandolphMacon College. But, it was his touchdown that capped a 10play, 75-yard drive that was the biggest contribu-

He broke off chunk after chunk of yardage and set up the second score of the night as he broke several tackles to take a run all the way down to the 1 yard line. Indians quarterback Jacob Moss ran it in from there to make it 14-0. On the first possession of the second half for Powhatan, Taylor broke off runs of 11, 8 and 2 yards to set up his second touchdown of the night, a 2-yard plunge to make it 21-0. “He’s done a tremendous job,” Woodson said of Taylor. “He’s doing a good job running behind his pads. He’s got good vision. We have to give a lot of credit to the offensive line. They’re doing a great job making lanes. Teams have been blitzing us, sending the house, and they’ve done a great job picking those blitzes up.” The Indians travel to Hopewell on Sept. 14 for a matchup with the Blue

Devils. Hopewell had a bye week on Sept. 7 after starting the season 2-0. Most recently, Hopewell defeated Tabb 41-0 on Aug. 31. Woodson said that he knows that’ll be a test for his team. “They’re a good football program,” he said. “They have a lot of talented athletes. If we go down there and execute, it’ll be a good ballgame. We have a busy and hard week of practice ahead of us.”
mula that led Powhatan to victory. A stout defensive performance and dogged effort in the run game were the keys to the Indians’ 14-7 win against the Trojans. The first challenge for Powhatan to overcome was the Groundhog Day effect of warming up for the same game two days in a row. “You’re all hyped up and excited for the first game, and then boom. It’s tough, and then it was a little quiet coming back over here. It was like ‘here we go again,’” Woodson said. “But once we got here we picked right up, got that enthusiasm going again, and it showed in our play.” The game started with a bang for Powhatan, as the opening kickoff was fumbled by the Midlothian return man and recovered by the Indians at the Trojans’ 29-yard line. The first offensive snap of 2018 for Powhatan was a touchdown run from Taylor, who gashed
cepted by sophomore JaySun Carroll and returned to the 25-yard line. Taylor picked up yardage in chunks throughout the evening, and he burned Midlothian in a big way on the ensuing drive. Carrying the ball off tackle to the left, the senior broke free and scampered up the sideline for a 64-yard touchdown to double Powhatan’s lead to 14-0. Taylor totaled 251 yards rushing for the game. The ensuing drive by the Trojans was halted after just five plays, when senior Xavier Trotman came up with an interception. After the teams exchanged punts, a Midlothian defender stripped Taylor and returned the ball over 60 yards for a touchdown to cut the Indians’ lead in half. “I was concerned because we had the momentum. When the ball popped out and they scooped and scored, it
POWHATAN 14, MIDLOTHIAN 7 The Powhatan Indians’ season-opening victory over Midlothian did not come without adversity. The Indians were originally warmed up and ready to play on the night of Aug. 30, but a long night of thunderstorms pushed the game to a hot and humid early afternoon kickoff the following day. In the end, however, it was a tried and tested for-

Midlothian’s defense right up the middle for the opening score. “We deferred because our defense is very strong this year, and we felt that the defense could hold,” Woodson said. “To get that fumble right off the bat is almost like them kicking off to us in both halves.” The teams exchanged punts until midway through the second quarter, when the Indians started a drive on their own 24-yard line. A 14-play drive took Powhatan all the way down to the Midlothian 20-yard line, but a missed field goal meant that the Indians kept their 7-0 lead at halftime. After an Indians punt to begin the third quarter, the Trojans drove to the Powhatan 6-yard line on the ensuing drive. However, three consecutive penalties backed them up 30 yards. On fourth-and-goal from the Indians’ 36-yard line, a hopeful deep ball over the middle was inter-

was a heck of a play,” Woodson said about the turnover. The momentum continued to shift the Trojans’ way when they recovered an onside kick to set up their offense at the Powhatan 43-yard line. However, a controversial intentional grounding call on the Midlothian quarterback halted the ensuing drive and kept the Indians ahead. After a punt by the Indians, the Trojans received the ball on their own 26-yard line with 1:30 to play and just one timeout remaining. A pass interference penalty on the Indians took Midlothian across midfield, but only with enough time for a Hail Mary attempt with five seconds on the clock. A deep ball down the middle was intercepted by senior Andrew Worthington, sealing the victory for Powhatan. Contributing Writer Ellis Hopson provided the story from the Powhatan-Midlothian game.
