Supervisors hear proposal to finance $23.9 million By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors last week heard their first presentation on a possible $23.9 million financing package to complete a long list of capital improvement projects. During a workshop on Thursday, Sept. 13, the board heard a presentation from Kyle A. Laux, senior vice president of Davenport & Company LLC, the county’s investment firm. He presented different ways the board might consider financing up to 12 projects on its capital improvement plan (CIP). Laux presented three options to the board that involved either financing all 12 projects at once, which he did not recommend; doing only about half of the projects; or doing all of the projects but splitting them up into two phases done two years apart. The meeting was purely informational and the board did not take any action as this was the first time they were hearing the presentation. Davenport presented a schedule that

POWHATAN – As 6-year-old Lilianna Rocklein and her brother, 3-yearold Nathan John, sat with their combined classes hearing about heroes, they were totally unaware their own hero was creeping up behind them. The students in a kindergarten class and the 3-year-old preschool class at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School had no idea why they were meeting together that day, listening to a poem about heroes. But as two staff members unfurled a banner that read “Welcome Home” with all of their handprints on it, a gentle voice at the back of the room simply said, “Hey guys.” Almost as one, the little heads turned to see Lieutenant Commander Nathan Rocklein in a sand-colored military uniform standing behind

County learns from storm prep By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Virginia dodged a bullet last week when Hurricane Florence detoured off an early trajectory that caused fears of high winds and catastrophic flooding in the region. As of press time, 18 people had been killed in the storm, hundreds were trapped in their homes in the Carolinas, and the authorities were saying more damage was on the way because of flooding. Powhatan County

Emergency Management released on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 17 that the two rivers that surround Powhatan were expected to crest near 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 18. James River at Cartersville was forecasted to reach 17 feet and Appomattox River at Farmville was forecasted to reach 14 feet, and interests along these two rivers should be aware of the rising water levels. While the hurricane didn’t materialize here, county officials still had to be ready for any eventuality should the storm have

headed north. They spent a good portion of last week planning for the various eventualities and the rest monitoring the situation just in case the hurricane changed direction again. County administrator Ted Voorhees said he executed a declaration of local emergency on Monday, Sept. 10, which relaxes procurement rules so if emergency supplies are needed, there isn’t an impediment. The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors has 14 days to ratify the declaration, at see STORM, pg. 3

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board last week received the first received an overview of a draft Strategic Plan that could chart the course for Powhatan County Public Schools for the next six years. During the board’s meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, presented the draft of the Strategic Plan, which took hundreds of hours of work over the last year by staff and community members. Work started on the plan in October 2017, when a steering committee of 39 staff and community members created a mission, vision and core values that were later flushed out by staff. The board did not take action on the strategic plan at the meeting. Jones asked them to review it and give feedback. The core parts of the plan will come back before them for a vote at the board’s meeting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25 in the cafeteria at Pocahontas Elementary School. If that happens, it will be rolled out to staff members at their convocation on Monday, Oct. 8. Jones started the presentation with an introduction to a new logo for the school district that features the tagline, “Inspiring Empowering. Innovating.” The logo’s symbolism not only speaks to some of the key elements of learning and creativity but draws a connection to the community and how the schools are part of the fabric of Powhatan County, he said. If approved, the logo would be used to begin a rebranding process on the division’s website, correspondence, and promotional materials, Jones said. see PLAN, pg. 4

Steven Couch Miller died peacefully at home on Thursday, September 6, 2018, after a long struggle with T-cell lymphoma. He was born in Christiansburg on January 1, 1949. He graduated from Giles High School, where he excelled in both academics and football. He took these twin talents to the College of William and Mary, where he played football for four years, graduating in 1971 with a BA in MILLER health and physical education. Returning to his home community in Pembroke, he taught physical education and coached football at Narrows High School. Later, he entered graduate school at Clemson University, where he earned a MA in industrial psychology. He spent many years working as a human factors engineer in the computer software industry. Steven was a craftsman of rare and special talents; he was a gifted finish carpenter and cabinet maker. He and his brother, Michael, went into a heating and cooling business together, where he became an expert electrician and plumber, of which he fondly reminisced. He was a gifted chef who grew many of his own ingredients in an exuberant kitchen garden. But mainly, Steven excelled as an affectionate husband, father, grandfather and uncle. He will be remembered deeply by loved ones, a grateful family and wide circle of appreciative friends as a man of true grit and value. He was pre-deceased by his parents, J. Walter Miller and Margaret Smith Miller; brother, Stanley Miller, and his guardians, Sam and Louise Robinson.

John Ross Woodard, 80, of Keysville in Prince Edward County died peacefully on Thursday, September 6, 2018, after a brief battle with cancer. Until the very end, John lived a full, vibrant life as a devoted dad, brother, loyal friend and outdoorsman. Born in Norfolk County, where he grew up, John was the second of seven children. He graduated from Norview High School in Norfolk. John had many talents and a strong entrepreneurial spirit. He served on the vice squad at the Norfolk Police Department and served in the United States Army. He also worked as a home builder at his company, J.R. Woodard Builder, and operated a second company he founded, Custom Hunts Hunting Preserve, on his Keysville property. For the last 14 years of his life, he worked in building and grounds with Hampden Sydney College and enjoyed being a part of the college community. John’s work took him outside most of the time and he liked it that way. He appreciated the beauty of the outdoors and frequently walked for miles or took a four-wheeler out on his property to enjoy each season and the changes it brought. Survivors include his daughter, Elizabeth Hope Woodard; four sisters, Jean Harrell, Joan Nixon (Ronnie), and Joyce Howell, all of Virginia Beach, and Janis Hedgepeth (Van) of Powhatan. He is preceeded in death by his parents James Stevenson Woodard and Wealtha Winifred Weller, and his brother Stanley Woodard. John’s legacy will live on through the many people, from the very young to the very old and from all walks of life, who he adopted as his extended family. He was a loyal friend. If he liked you, you knew it and you quickly realized his friendship was an invaluable gift which he freely gave. A memorial service was held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, September 16 in Venable Hall’s Parents and Friends Lounge at Hampden Sydney College in Farmville. Committal of ashes will be private at a later date.

Transportation center operating well, saving county money By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – The transition into the joint transportation facility and combining of school and county vehicle maintenance into one has gone smoothly so far this year as adjustments continue to be made. Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations, gave an operations report for the fiscal year that ended June 30 to the Powhatan County School Board during the board’s workshop on Tuesday, Sept. 11. While there are adjustments that have to be made, Johns said that the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the school board and the board of supervisors adopted in October 2017 is working well. “We are not having any issues working with the county at all; it is a real smooth operation,” he said. “I think it has been a real good benefit to the county. Garage staff are doing a great job taking care of our vehicles and the county vehicles.” School transportation staff relocated to the new facility on Old Buckingham Road in November 2017 and then began servicing county vehicles in January. Since then, the facility has performed 198 work orders on county vehicles, with most of the work orders including multiple services. The repairs ranged from simple tasks such as tire replacements, oil changes and state inspections to the more complicated such as an engine replacement. Some specialized tasks still had to be outsourced. When asked, Brian Bartlett, assistant director of the transportation facility, said the outsourced jobs are sometimes handled by businesses in Powhatan, but some of the more specialized jobs have to be handled out of the county. In the last fiscal year, the schools billed the county $79,808 for vehicle repairs, which included labor, parts and outsourced repairs, Johns said. The labor includes both the actual time of the technicians and the administrative time involved in fixing the county’s vehicles,

including scheduling work, ordering parts, receiving and paying invoices, billing the county and tracking invoices. The MOU that both boards signed set the labor rate for the technicians working on the vehicles at $45, and the county also only pays the cost of parts ordered for its vehicles, Johns said. However, the labor rate increased to $49 an hour for the 2018-2019 fiscal year, factoring in both salary increases and a better understanding of how much administrative time it takes to set up repairs on county vehicles, Johns said. The school district was already receiving discounts for using state bid pricing on some parts, Johns said. By adding the county vehicles, the schools also can use municipal bid pricing. The sheriff and fire departments receive the biggest benefit for this, but the school division also receives some benefit. Stressing it was only an unofficial

Powhatan man charged in connection with stabbing Contributed Report A Powhatan County man was arrested on Friday, Sept. 14 and charged with malicious wounding in connection with a woman being stabbed in the abdomen. SANDERSON At about 3 p.m., the Powhatan County Public Safety Department received a call in reference to a stabbing that had occurred in the 2700 block of Trenholm Road in

Powhatan County, according a release from Capt. Jeff Searfoss. According to the caller, a female had been stabbed in the abdomen area by a male subject who was known to her. Deputies from the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area and apprehended the subject, 28-year-old Antonio Sanderson of Powhatan County, the release said. The female victim was transported to a local hospital with serious but nonlife-threatening injuries. Sanderson is charged with malicious wounding and is being held without bond.

which time they will also declare the emergency over. Although they had already been watching the storm, county staff began on Sept 10 holding daily hurricane planning meetings as they followed weather reports and information they were receiving from the state, he said. “The good news is it has been a good exercise for everybody to see a big storm that needed to be taken seriously and would have been serious had it come on its original trajectory. Everybody got a chance to test their own preparedness,” Voorhees said. Curt Nellis, local emergency management coordinator, said he thought the planning went well because all of the departments took their preparation efforts seriously. Even as the storm began to turn, they were aware how easily it could change course again, he said. “That is what is so unpredictable about a tropical story. Nature decides where it is going to take it and you have to be aware of its

estimate, Johns said that the repairs done on the 198 work orders for the county would likely have cost about $115,590, which meant the county’s savings were about $35,782. He based this estimate on a comparison with the mid-range labor rate in the commercial market combined with the school district not marking up the price on parts. “It has been a good benefit for the county as well, and that helps them make the debt service payment on the building that they built for us,” he said. Chairman Joe Walters, who represents District 4, asked Johns to work with county staff to see if they could better nail down the estimated savings to the county. In addition to overall savings, Johns pointed out the transportation facility’s vehicle turnaround time is good. The facility added a few new features to better serve county vehicles. Staff installed a key box for the sheriff and fire and

Powhatan Today in Utah

rescue vehicles to be dropped off after hours. The county has additional vehicles parked inside the secured fence and the key box contains keys for those extra vehicles. “The deputies were having to take their vehicles to an outside vendor. They were doing that on duty and either had to wait on it or have someone come pick them up. With the key box … the deputies are not taking any time at all,” he said. “They come in, drop their vehicle off, get a key out of the key box and leave. That is savings to the sheriff’s departments’ time and labor. I don’t know what that savings is, but it has a value.” Two technicians are also on call after hours in the event a sheriff or fire unit breaks down and there is an immediate need for that unit, he said. While Johns did not ask for any staffing of the transportation facility during his report, he said he did want to make the school board aware of the staffing ratio. The school fleet is 142 vehicles (94 buses and 48 support vehicles), and the county fleet is 130 vehicles (25 fire and rescue, 50 sheriff vehicles, plus other departments). Right now, the facility has five technicians, three of whom service the buses, Johns said. The school district hired two technicians before the facility opened, but the bus garage was already operating with fewer staff than needed. He said they were able to get by with fewer staff because they didn’t have the necessary facilities to do some jobs that then had to be outsourced. He also pointed out the significant administrative workload increase. “We are a little light on staffing there. In future budgets, we just need to analyze that and decide is it time for us to add something or not?” he said. Rick Cole, District 1, said he appreciated the information and that the staff continued to monitor the situation. He said he is not surprised that the administrative costs are more than anticipated. “It may get better as we figure out how to do it better, but I think it is a win-win,” he said.

track all the time and you can’t put a whole lot of faith beyond a couple of days as far as what reality is going to be,” Nellis said. Communication was a key emphasis in the days before the hurricane hit landfall. The county promoted its Code Red emergency alert system, which residents register with and receive alerts during emergencies. While many events businesses and organizations announced early in the week they would be closed, others in Powhatan took the wait-and-see approach. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, announced on Wednesday, Sept. 12 that the school district was tracking the storm and would make a call later in the week to close schools if necessary, which it wasn’t. However, he did go ahead and cancel all afterschool activities for Friday, Sept. 14 and the weekend. If the storm had stayed on its original trajectory, county offices would have considered closing on Sept. 14 and assigning staff to the emergency operations center, Voorhees said. He added that the sheriff’s office did preemptively have some deputies taking off earlier in the week so they could

be fully staffed over the weekend. The county was communicating with its debris contractor in case trees on roads and homes had to be cleared and disposed of, Voorhees said. They were released when the storm track changed because they would likely be needed elsewhere. The debris collection site at the Powhatan County Fairgrounds was also deactivated. The county put a number of measures in place to be prepared, Nellis said. While the county was fortunate that it did not have to use any of them, those preparations did reveal some vulnerabilities, which they corrected and will be in place in future emergency. He gave the example of not having an emergency generator backup for the emergency operations center, so the Virginia Department of Emergency Management provided two 150,000 kw backup generators. He also requested National Guard support for high water access vehicles, which were canceled when they realized they would not need them. “I think we dodged a bullet but we are ready if it happens again. Hurricane season is not over until the end of November,” Nellis said.

PLAN Continued from pg. 1

The plan’s proposed mission is “PCPS prepares students to thrive in a global community.� The vision statement is “empowering today to innovate tomorrow.� The strategic plan also lays out several core values of the school district: integrity of actions and words; equity of opportunity by ensuring each member of our community is treated as an individual and respecting and valuing differences; responsibility for students and adults; innovation of practice and programs to meet

the demands of a rapidly changing world; excellence in all we do through continuous growth and development; community, service to one another, and stewardship of our resources, and passion that fosters a culture of lifelong learning. Rick Cole, who represents District 1, said he likes the core values because they are “on mark and say a lot about what we are trying to do.� He pointed out the importance of the strategic plan as the document that “becomes the umbrella under which everything we do falls.� Cole stressed the importance of peo-

ple at all levels – students, parents, staff, and school board members alike – of the school system becoming involved in understanding and implementing the plan. “We are hoping it is not something we develop and leave. We hope it is something we come back to and look at regularly to say, ‘how are we doing on this?’ � Cole said. Chairman Joe Walters, District 4, praised the simple but power mission and vision statements and their applicability to Powhatan schools. “If you don’t have a goal and you don’t have a mission and clear vision, you are not going to achieve those, and I think this gets us there,� Walters said.

Examples of KPOs are: create mutually beneficial and sustainable partnerships with businesses/industry, civic organizations, churches, and colleges and universities; foster a commitment to volunteerism by providing service learning opportunities for all students; and increase the number of volunteers through the creation of new volunteer options in the schools with a focus on graduates, parents, family and community members.

Goals In addition to the mission, vision and core values, a major part of the strategic plan was four goals that had been mapped out using key performance objectives (KPOs), which are measurable targets. Personalized learning – Create pathways for each student to achieve academic excellence. Examples of KPOs are: create dynamic learning environments that promote student agency through interest-based activities, studentchoice, and innovation; identify and provide opportunities for career awareness, exploration, and work experience; identify and reduce achievement gaps among student groups; and leverage technology to increase personalized learning opportunities that incorporate the 5Cs (Collaboration, Creativity, Communication, Critical Thinking, and Citizenship). Leveraging talent – Attract and retain high quality staff across the division to drive personalized teaching and learning. Examples of KPOs are: identify and secure optimal talent through robust sourcing strategies that yield the greatest return on investment; build instructional and leadership capacity with high-quality professional development; achieve and preserve a culture of equity and fairness, a customer-service mindset while improving working conditions for all PCPS employees, and provide a com-

promote the emotional development of our students. Examples of KPOs are: collaborate with state and local agencies to ensure mental health, social, and family support services are available for students; create and implement social and emotional professional development for staff that results in higher student achievement; maintain facilities that are safe and enhance learning; and ensure that students access appropriate social-emotional supports and services (e.g. counseling, mental health, and psychological) to support well-being and academic success. The school board had a detailed discussion about the goals and their key performance objectives, all of which can be found in the presentation document on its Board Docs website. In addition to the KPOs, Jones said the district will be looking at key performance indicators (KPIs), which are indicators of outcome success. Tracking of KPIs will be used to generate an annual progress report. Major examples of KPIs include teacher performance results (TPES), PBIS implementation; school safety audit and reports; student discipline; student attendance; SOL performance; Number Knowledge Test (NK); CTE certificates and credentials; climate surveys of staff and students; on-time graduation rate; higher education enrollment; workforce experiences, and enlistment in military service.

In order to help department family as well as the extended families (the immediate family members of members), the Fire and Rescue Department has established a scholarship awards program. This year’s recipients are: Thomas E.

POWHATAN – Local quilter Lisa Adams recently shared her passion and livelihood with Native Americans living on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North and South Dakota. Adams and fellow Powhatan native Gloria Blankenship once again joined a mission trip to the reservation sponsored by the Women’s Missionary Union of Virginia. This year they were part of an 188-person mission team that traveled to the reservation from July 22 to 27 to share their faith, their skills, and goods raised locally and across the state for those in need. “I feel like there is so much need there. There is lots of domestic abuse, alcoholism, suicide. There is no employment there. The homes that are there are shacks and there could be one or more generations there,” Blankenship said. The reservation is the fifth largest Indian reservation in the nation, comprised of 2.3 million acres across both North and South Dakota. It is home to 17,000

people, 6,418 of whom are American Indians, according to materials from the reservation. It is the home of the Lakota and Dakota peoples. The latest mission trip was Blankenship’s third time and Adams’ second time traveling to the reservation. Every person who goes is assigned to specific teams, districts or tasks, depending on the skills or interests they are bringing. The friends traveled to the reservation together but then split up during the day as Adams offered a week of quilting classes for women on the reservation and Blankenship served on the travel team. In 2017, Adams served in Wakpala, one of the eight districts in the reservation. The owner of Shining Star Longarm Quilting in Powhatan taught eight women and one man how to make a quilt top. The pattern she used was called Crown of Thorns, and used the different colors of the quilt combined with scriptures to tell the story of Jesus. “The ultimate goal is to share Jesus Christ. If that gets people in the door, that is what I do,” she said. Adams said she was contacted this year by Pastor see MISSION, pg. 10

same time – just so happy and relieved he was OK and excited for the family to be back together after all of that time,” Lipscomb said. “I just think people being aware of stories like this, there truly are heroes all around us in our own community. It was a great opportunity to be able to celebrate with them.”

Rating news: from hype to heart to home By Laura McFarland News Editor

F

rom Nike to 9/11 to Florence, last week felt like a roller coaster of emotions of the national news affecting our everyday conversations and lives. And, to me, there is a difference. As I was rushing around going to board meetings, buying water and canned goods (only what I would eat this winter if I didn’t lose power because of the hurricane), and working on the newspaper, I also was very aware of the national headlines evident in news cycles, Facebook posts, and everyday conversations. In their own way, these events represent the wide range of ways national news affects our lives: from hype to heart to home. When Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players initially began making headlines in 2016 for taking a knee during the National Anthem to protest police brutality, and it became one of the hottest debates in the nation, I didn’t participate. There were a few reasons for that. First, I am not a sports fan. Second, I thought the fact that a famous person making a statement – not the issue of police brutality – becoming the main topic was quickly clouding a real issue with a whole lot of hype. Most importantly, I believe in free speech. I believe in peaceful protest. As long as people are within the law, they have a right to do and say what they please, whether you agree with it or not. So, when Nike announced its new ad campaign featuring Kaepernick and people – including some I know – began destroying their Nike gear in protest, it felt like the hype was back. I found I had three distinct thoughts in this order: 1. If you want to pay $100 to $200 or more for a pair of shoes and then turn around and destroy them,

have at it. I have better ways to spend my money. 2. Why don’t these people give this perfectly good clothing to the homeless instead of shredding it? 3. The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. This last was a reference to a fervor stirred up by a quote from John Lennon. I was not around to experience the controversy in 1966, but I remember hearing stories of the backlash and the record burnings. My mom has even told me about her mother buying her Elvis records so she wouldn’t listen to The Beatles. This debate still seemed to be going strong into the start of last week, when it was firmly replaced with two more important topics: the commemoration of Sept. 11, 2001, and the possible impact of Hurricane Florence. To be fair, Florence was there building all along, but people did still take the time to remember the 17th anniversary of the attacks on the United States. As I worked on Tuesday, I had on the live feed of the names of victims being read in New York. Like many Americans, I didn’t know anyone who died that day, but the tragedy is still part of my identity as an American. As is all too often true in the history of war, most were civilians who became casualties of a fight they never signed up to wage. Some sacrificed their lives to save others. Because 17 is not a round number, this year’s memorial may not have received the attention it might see in a few years on the 20th anniversary. But it is still important and still in our hearts. Of the portion I watched, the words that most touched my heart came from the widow of Brian David Sweeney, a victim of United Airlines 175. “In your honor, we move forward in the best way we can. We do good, we love fiercely, we raise children in a very different world. We live life because we still have one to live. I will see you when I get there,” she said.

Which leads us to Florence, a giant, rotating, funnel of doom that had people in the eastern parts of the Carolinas and Virginia bracing, preparing, and praying last week. As of press time, 18 people had been killed in the storm, hundreds were trapped in their homes, and the authorities were saying more damage was on the way because of flooding. In the days leading up to Florence first making landfall, there was obviously a great deal of fear. Mandatory evacuations of coastal regions to preserve lives still left people fearing for the homes and property they left behind. In Powhatan, basic supplies were flying off the shelves as threats of massive amounts of rainfall inland threatened our sense of well-being earlier in the week. Events started to be canceled. Questions of if school would be canceled or businesses would be closed were circulating. How many of you heard from friends and relatives you don’t normally hear from asking if you are ready for the storm? One of the more poignant moments early on for me came Monday, Sept. 10, during Gov. Ralph Northam’s briefing on Hurricane Florence, when we learned that Virginia for the first time had asked for mutual aid from neighboring states. Requests included 21 swift water rescue teams and five incident management teams that would provide movement, supply and air support to local governments and the military bases. I was reminded of the swift water teams from Virginia, including some people from Powhatan, who went down to my hometown of Houston, Texas, last year when Hurricane Harvey left the city underwater. It was neighbors helping neighbors, even if they don’t live directly next door. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

The angels want to wear my red shoes 4-H Dairy Judging Team By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

After hundreds of columns on a variety of subjects, I can’t think of many topics I haven’t addressed in more than 15 years of musings. With the exception of politics, for the most part, I’ve opined on the biggest topics of the day to the most minute of life’s tidbits, and just about everything in between. I never envisioned composing a column on a pair of ruby red high heels, but I’ve long since passed the stage of selective pickiness. Besides, experience tells me to go where the story leads. That leads us to recent news regarding the most famous pair of red slippers described as one of America’s most treasured pieces of memorabilia. The shoes, worn by Judy Garland as she played Dorothy in “The Wizard of Oz,” still garner a collection of “ooohs” and “aaahs“ when fans get a glimpse of the magical pumps Since the movie’s premiere, the glitter-adorned shoes have made numerous appearances across the country and, perhaps, the most famous pair rests in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. Don’t let the most famous description confuse you. Like many props in major productions, there were numerous pairs of red slippers on the set during the filming and not the same ones were used in every scene. Garland reportedly wore four pairs during the filming. In 2005, one pair of those famous slippers was stolen from a museum in Garland’s hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota, removed from a smashed glass case and gone, it seemed, forever. But, thanks to the dogged determination of FBI agents who worked the case for more than a decade, the shoes were recovered, and earlier last week, the beleaguered agency put the famous shoes on display. The shoes belonged to Hollywood memorabilia collector Michael Shaw who loaned them to the museum for display. Now, the mystery surrounding the theft has

not been solved, and officials would only say they recovered the shoes through a sting operation, and no suspects have been arrested. The search for the sequined slippers took a variety of turns in the 13 years they were missing, including an extensive search of a lake where the famous piece of Americana was dumped. When a man contacted the FBI a year ago offering to assist the agency in obtaining the shoes, the case gained momentum and eventually led to the recovery. And, agents announced they have suspects and asked the public for information regarding the robbery. The shoes have been described as “the holy grail of all Hollywood memorabilia” and are worth a reported $2 million. Apparently, the perpetrator discovered that priceless art or irreplaceable pieces of memorabilia are not exactly hot commodities, and the whereabouts of the shoes during their 13-year absence remains a mystery. The returned shoes now belong to the insurance company that paid Shaw $800,000 for his loss, so it looks like they may be the real winners in this bizarre tale. Who knows if those shoes will ever return to that museum in Grand Rapids, but the public will get more chances to see another one of those four pair of shoes from the 1939 classic. After a hiatus from their position at the Smithsonian to allow experts to refurbish the shoes, they return for exhibition next month. What is truly amazing about this story is the resounding popularity of a film that seems to entertain generations of Americans and its ability to capture the imagination of a country eight decades after its release. And, while finishing this column with probably more questions than answers regarding the famous heels, I thought it better to let sleeping dogs lie. I couldn’t help but remember Good Witch Glinda’s fateful warning: “Begone, before someone drops a house on you too.” Enough said. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

FINANCING Continued from pg. 1

had the firm coming back for a work session with the board on Thursday, Oct. 11 to give them updated figures and hear how they want to proceed, if at all. While the supervisors did not take any official action, two board members, David Williams, who represents District 1, and Larry Nordvig, District 2, already voiced skepticism and said they would be scrutinizing the data very carefully before making a decision. While recognizing the need to do CIP projects, both pointed to the fact it has only been about two years since the county authorized a package deal on $49.4 million in lease revenue bonds to fund capital improvement program projects, including the new Powhatan Middle School, water tower, joint transportation facility and courthouse expansion. However, another board member, Bill Melton, District 4, said he felt it was important for residents to understand what the proposed projects are and would bring to the county. He urged them to “be educated and understand where your dollars would go if we choose to do these projects.” Like Nordvig, he also urged residents to contact their supervisors to ask questions and voice their opinions on the topic so they can better understand the desired direction of Powhatan’s citizens.

In his presentation, Laux divided the 12 CIP projects into two phases. Phase 1, which totals $9.4 million, would include constructing a new convenience center in the east end of the county ($1.75 million); expanding and paving a gravel lot on Marion Harland Lane to accommodate more courthouse parking ($400,000); improvements to athletic field lighting ($758,000); Village Building sports fields upgrades ($500,000); ERP financial management system ($1.5 million in Phase 1 and $200,000 in Phase 2); and the repurposing of Pocahontas Middle School ($1.284 million). Phase 1 also includes $2.945 million for Pocahontas and Powhatan Elementary schools maintenance through energy performance contracting. The school district had a technical energy audit performed by Trane Building Advantage, which recommended the energy efficient and cost saving measures. Energy savings performance contracting is a financial mechanism used to pay for today’s facility upgrades with tomorrow’s energy savings. Phase 2, which totals $14.5 million, would include an addition to Fire and EMS Company 1’s current living, office and meeting space ($2.9 million); public safety radio towers ($1.009 million); library upgrades ($145,000); Fighting Creek Park Phase 3 and land expansion ($5 million); replacing Pocahontas Middle School’s HVAC system ($1.355 million), and more Pocahontas and Powhatan Elementary schools maintenance, although not using energy performance contracting ($3.891 million). The $23.9 million also includes $263,000 in contingency funds. After the presentation Ted Voorhees, county administrator, explained that the proposed projects have been identified by this board of supervisors with community input for a number of years and are not just his suggestions. Many have been recognized needs for several years but there wasn’t funding for them or a funding plan. “This is nothing new; it is just a way to get it done. And with us wrapping up the courthouse and the interest rates low, we recommend this to the board for consideration and public input and certainly await your direction,” Voorhees said.

Options While the board only heard the presentation for the first time last week and didn’t make any official decisions, the general direction from them seemed to be not to pursue the first option. This direction would see the county financing all of the projects at once in fiscal year (FY) 2019 as well as financing $2.4 million in additional short-term lease needs. This would make it a total of $26.3 million. Using the most conservative interest rates and growth rate for the county, this option would have required a 4.5 cent increase on the tax rate in FY 2020.

The second option would have the county finance only the $9.4 million in Phase 1 projects and the leases, for a total of $11.8 million in projects financed. This option would require a one-time funding need in FY 2020 of $600,000 but would not need a tax rate increase. The third option called for doing the phases two years apart, in FY 2019 and FY 2021 with the financed leases in FY 2019. This option would require a onetime funding need in FY 2020 of $600,000 and a 2.5 cent tax rate increase in FY 2021. The amount financed would still total $26.3 million. One of the big discussions moving forward will likely revolve around the effect of borrowing on the county’s debt service vs. expenditures ratio. The supervisors are sensitive to this number and how the county’s amount of debt can affect its credit ratings. Currently, the county has a rating of Aa2 with Moody’s Investor Service and AA+ with S&P Global Ratings, both of which are considered “very strong” ratings. When the board agreed on the bonded projects in 2016, the majority decision was that they would let Powhatan’s debt service vs. expenditures ratio approach a maximum rate of 15 percent with the understanding that they wanted to get it back down to the desired 12 percent as quickly as possible. Without taking on any additional debt, the county’s existing debt service is expected to drop below 12 percent in FY 2021. With the three proposed financing options, the debt service would rise to a high of 14.6 percent, 13.7 percent, and 13.7 percent, respectively. In those scenarios, the county would not get back to around 12 percent until FY 2025-2026 for options one and three and FY 20232024 for the second option.

Extra comments After the presentation, a few of the board members offered comments. Nordvig said he likes and appreciates all of the new additions and expansions that resulted from the last bond projects but still doesn’t think they should have been paid for all at once. He said he didn’t think it was a fiscally responsible move. Nordvig also didn’t like that two of the options have implications that would put requirements on a future board. All of the supervisors’ seats are up for re-election in November 2019. Some of the actions proposed in Davenport’s plan means making commitments on behalf of a future board, such as a tax increase in FY 2021 and, when split into two phases, a commitment to following through and doing those projects. “I am putting this out there for discussion. I am not shooting down anything. I am not killing this idea in the crib,” Nordvig said. “I am going to be looking very hard at these numbers and thinking very hard about balancing out taxes, debt and services. And there is a right balance in there that I hope we find.” Williams agreed with Nordvig, saying he was uncomfortable with the idea of promising a tax rate increase for a future board or going above the debt service ratio policy. He also didn’t like that two years after the major 2016 bond project, the board was already seeing another bond project for about half that amount. Melton said, and Chairman Carson Tucker, District 5, agreed, that time didn’t even need to be spent on flushing out and providing more information on the first option of financing all of the CIP projects at once. But he also wanted people to make informed decisions about the projects and their significance to the county and its residents. So he encouraged residents to talk to their supervisors. During the workshop’s second public comment period, several local residents also spoke on the topic, giving their input. One felt that the projects needed to be prioritized and said some might be better taken on by private groups. He urged the board to look at necessities rather than “wants” and mentioned things like a skate park or more playing fields not being necessities. However, he was followed by three citizens who spoke about more field space and expanding Fighting Creek Park as a necessity because of the contributions those areas make to the lives of Powhatan families and their well-being.

Powhatan Today in Alaska

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

Casey Walton gave the gift of a trip to Alaska to his parents, Richard and Brenda Walton of Powhatan, in August 2018. Casey is a tour director for Christian Tours based in Lincolnton, North Carolina. The trio panned for gold in Fairbanks; toured Denali Park, where they saw 17 grizzlies; rode with Iditarod Musher Jesse Holmes on a wheeled sled pulled by his dogs; enjoyed a riverboat cruise to learn of the Athabaskan culture; watched sealife on the Kenia Fjords Wildlife Cruise in Seward, and visited numerous museums in Anchorage, Seward and Fairbanks. Richard ran his 50th marathon in Anchorage and came in first in his division. He encountered a moose grazing on a hill at mile 7. The three Waltons agree that Alaska is a beautiful state and are thankful for their time together on a trip of a lifetime.

Boots Marsh, a pastor there, who asked her to come teach the same quilt top. This year, she had a total of 15 women come throughout the week. She said her original goal was to offer the sessions from 1 to 5 p.m. each day, but because of the women’s different schedules, she ended up being available to them from about 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day. “You are overwhelmed by what you have done in a week. It is not a vacation. I literally went from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. every night,” she said. “It is a very intensive week. You go and you go and go. Then when you come back you try to recover. But you get friendships. You meet people and have lasting memories. I have people who connect with me through Facebook. You can still minister to people after you have gone by connecting with them.” The class was really possible because of the generosity of local quilters, Adams said. A Richmond quilt guild donated 15 sewing machines that went on the trip along with seven tubs of supplies, including fabric, batting, scissors, thread, rulers, cutters, irons, and more. The Country Piecemakers Quilt Guild, based in Powhatan, also donated a large number of items for Adams to take to the reservation to give the class participants. “They each got a machine when we left at the end of the week and tons of fabric. They loaded up on stuff. The goal was to take stuff out there for them to have something to

sew with,” she said. Since this year was the 10th year of the annual mission trip, Adams also made a special quilt for Marsh and presented it to the pastor during the trip. Meanwhile, Blankenship continued her tradition of joining the traveling team, which visits a different district each day. The travel team brings with them a carnival for the children with a bouncy house, face painting snow cones, popcorn, and prizes. The group also offers family portraits. Some in the group are nurses who check blood pressure, eye glasses and blood sugar. There is also a trailer packed every morning

with goods that will be distributed to people of all ages, including socks, shoes, underwear, pillows and pillowcases. This year, Blankenship worked at the trailer, helping to measure feet and match people to new pairs of shoes. “We try to make sure that every child there gets a pair of shoes and a lot of the adults get a pair of shoes,” she said. She added that the items are collected all year long, and in Powhatan, Graceland Baptist Church will take donations for the mission trip.

Powhatan volleyball takes down Lions, Knights By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan volleyball was originally scheduled to have three games in four days. But, the early forecast for Hurricane Florence forced organizers to move the Indians matchup against Louisa up to Sept. 12. Powhatan stepped up to the challenge of three games in as many days and finished off the stretch with a dominant 25-

7, 25-19, 25-18 win over Jefferson District opponent Louisa. After the Indians breezed past the Lions in set one, which included an eight point run in the middle of the set, Indians coach Amber Foos made a few lineup changes. That resulted in some miscommunication among the Indians on the floor and Louisa jumped out to a 7-1 lead to open the second set. “I make a change and the tide changes,” Foos said. “I had some non-starters

in, which is good to get them time. The starters set the tone and did what I knew they would do. Then, I switched two players and one or two players in another spot…they’re a good team, but I told them they have to be a great team. And they have challenges they have to succeed with.” Later in the set, aces from Star Bryant and Sierra Ellison got the Indians back on track and they took the lead on Ellison’s ace at 11-10. From that point on, Powhatan didn’t

relinquish the lead again, riding a 5-0 run mid-set to open up a 21-15 lead. Louisa would get within three points after an ace to make it 22-19, but the Indians scored three-in-a-row to close out the set 25-19. The Lions grabbed the first point of set three, but the Indians were quick to even that score and take a lead at 2-1 after an ace from Hannah Worsham that they would not give up. Powhatan went on a five-point run, see INDIANS, pg. 4B

Indians cross country tastes first action of 2018 By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

While the other fall sports teams for Powhatan are well into their seasons, the Indians cross country team just recently got into their first meet of the year. On Sept. 12, the Indians girls and boys cross country teams hit to road to Louisa and took on the Lions and Fluvanna. Co-head coach Paul Smartschan wrote in an email that the anticipation for the first meet of the season were high for the team. “Our runners handled it very well,” he wrote. “Coach (Bucky) Webb and I FILE PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN couldn’t be more proud of them and their The Powhatan boys cross country team, with some members seen here in focus and efforts.” The Powhatan boys came out of the an early season practice, finished one point shy of the win on Sept. 12.

gate strong and fell just one point short of the meet winner, Louisa. The Indians scored 28 points to Louisa’s 27. Fluvanna was third with 85 points. Powhatan placed two of three on the podium for the meet. Gavin Timmons was second with a 17:32, followed by Cooper Schardt with a 17:37 for third place. Colton Vosburg was sixth with a 19:05, John Cavedo was eighth with a 19:19 and Will Paxton was ninth with a 19:27.

Powhatan’s offense was relentless against Louisa on Sept. 12, scoring nine goals and not allowing the Lions anywhere near the Indians net. Danielle Bigham (12) led Powhatan with three goals. AnnaGrace Causey (7) scored two goals and Erin Barney (5) had one.

Indians win fourth straight game after 9-0 rout By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s field hockey team seems to have figured out its issues with scoring goals. The scoreboard over its last few games says it all. The Indians have outscored their opponents 19-0 in their last four games. Most recently, Powhatan dispatched Louisa 9-0 on Sept. 12 in a home game that was rescheduled due to the forecasted impact of Hurricane Florence. Coming into the match, Indians coach Steph Tyson said she wasn’t sure how her team would respond after the Indians had played the previous night and won 5-0 against Charlottesville. “We played really hard and had a late night,” she said. “I was a little worried in the warm-up that we weren’t putting forward our best effort. It took us about 10 minutes to adjust. Last night, we played on turf, so coming back to grass was different. They adjusted well and did a good job.” In those first 10 minutes, the Indians produced several chances, but were unable to convert. Madeline Cecil sent a shot to Katlyn Hicks in front of the net in the third minute of play, but Hicks

sent the offering wide. She had another chance in the fifth minute, which also was off the mark. Powhatan had corners in the eighth and 10th minutes of play, both of which put tremendous pressure on the Louisa defense, but Powhatan couldn’t beat the keeper. In the 14th minute, however, Powhatan broke through as Danielle Bigham sent a centering pass to Erin Barney, who scored to make it 1-0. That goal opened the flood gates for the Indians offense. Just three game minutes later, Powhatan scored again off a corner opportunity as AnnaGrace Causey scored to make it 2-0. Michala Taylor sent a laser on net in the 21st minute to score and make it 3-0. Off a corner opportunity in the 22nd minute, Hicks scored on a scramble in front of the net to make the score 4-0, which was the score at halftime. “I’ve been really motivated,” Hicks said. “It’s our senior year and I’m really driven to put another number on the banner this year.” In the second half, Powhatan didn’t relent. Causey scored her second of the game in the 31st minute to make it 5-0. Then, Bigham scored back-to-back goals in the

33rd and 35th minutes for a 7-0 lead. Hayley Moss and Bigham each added goals to the scoresheet for a 9-0 lead, which triggered the end of the game due to the slaughter rule at the 9-0 final. The 9-0 win came on the heels of the 5-0 win over the Black Knights. “I don’t think we scored that many goals in our first two or three games,” Tyson said. “We’ve been working on that a lot. We’ve done some things in practice that has made them more competitive with each other. Some of the new kids didn’t know how to be goal hungry. So, they’ve been doing well with that.” Hanna Hathaway scored two goals in the win over Charlottesville. Calie Rehme, Hicks and Bigham each scored a goal in that win. “We have been moving positions around and we’re getting more used to playing with each other,” Hathaway said. “Our midfielders and the forward lineup are working so well together to get the ball up and cross it so someone can hit it in. I’ve just been lucky enough to hit it in each time.” During this stretch, the Indians defense has been stout and hasn’t allowed a goal, or even much pressure, from the opposing of-

contingent with a 36:52 in 40th. On the girls side, Powhatan finished third behind Fluvanna and Louisa. The Flucos scored 22 points, while Louisa scored 44. The Indians scored 70. Michelle Eggleston led the Indians with a 24:34, finishing in eighth place. Lexi Elzey was 12th with a 26:08, Sophie Dolan was 17th with a 27:09, Olivia Cosgrove was 24th with a 28:33. Carly Dolan was right

Ashley Van Buskirk was 29th with a 29:54, Caitlin Grell was 32nd with a 30:09 and Megan Perkins was 38th with a 32:37. “The meet went great,” Smartschan wrote. “Everyone worked extremely hard and our finishing kicks in particular were much stronger than our opponents.” Webb wrote that the first meet was a good in-

fenses. Hathaway said that offensive aggression has been a factor in the shutout streak. “Tyson has been telling us to score fast so we can relax during the game,” she said. “We play much better when we are relaxed. As soon as we have started playing more aggressively, we’ve gotten

more goals.” Tyson pointed to her midfield’s dominance as another factor in the shutout streak. “The thing that has been surprising, though really shouldn’t be surprising since we have so many returning players, is that our midfield has been killing everyone. Calie Rehme and Katlyn Hicks,

especially,” Tyson said. “Michala (Taylor) has been playing more up than we had her before. So, just that little adjustment is making a huge difference.” Powhatan played at James River, a future Dominion District opponent, on Sept. 18 and will host Monticello on Sept. 20.

dicator of how the teams will fare this season, both collectively and individually. “Louisa and Fluvanna have always had strong cross country programs,” he wrote. “So, the competition definitely was a positive and helped push our runners out of their comfort zones.” The Indians were scheduled to compete at the William and Mary Invitational on Sept. 15, but the forecast earlier in the week for Hurricane Florence cancelled those

plans. Powhatan’s next meet will be another large meet at Fork Union Military Academy on Sept. 22. A whole host of schools will be in attendance at Fork Union, including future Dominion District opponents in Cosby and Manchester, as well as current district teams such as Western Albemarle, Orange, Monticello and Louisa. Smartschan wrote that the set back of the missed meet at William and Mary will not set the team back.

“Everyone was a little bummed when it was cancelled,” he wrote. “The Fork Union Invitational is just as large, though, with a strong field of runners. So, it didn’t set us back, just made Fork Union that much more exciting for everyone.” After Fork Union, Powhatan will host Charlottesville, Orange and Western Albemarle at 5 p.m. on Sept. 25. On Oct. 2, the Indians will host Manchester, Monacan and Thomas Dale.

Roundup: Indians golf falls short against Hornets By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan golf was in another close matchup with a Jefferson District opponent on Sept. 12. The Indians battled with Orange at Mill Quarter Plantation and fell five strokes short of the Hornets 190-185. “We let that one get away,� Indians golf coach Chris Leech wrote in an email. “We didn’t play like we should, so definitely a disappointing loss.� Connor Voorhees and Cullen Biringer each shot nine-over 45 to lead the Indians. “Connor Voorhees has been pretty consistent,� Leech wrote. “We’ve had some good moments with

individuals playing well (this season).� DJ Herring was the third scorer for Powhatan with a 12-over 48 and Logan Wyatt rounded out the scoring with a 16-over 52. Orange’s five-stroke advantage came from William Johnson’s five-over 41 and Jake Bryant’s 11over 47. It was the third match that was decided by five strokes or less this season for the Indians in the district. On Aug. 23, Powhatan defeated Fluvanna by three strokes, followed by a twostroke loss to Monticello on Aug. 29. Leech wrote that the experience built by these close games is helpful, though dependent on the

opponent. “If it was a team we didn’t think we could beat, that would be one thing,� he said wrote about the team’s toughness being built up. “But, losing close matches to teams we should be very competitive with in our home course isn’t helping too much.� The Indians will participate in the Jefferson District tournament for the final time on Sept. 19 at Kinderton Country Club in Charlottesville. Following that match, Powhatan will host Louisa at Mill Quarter on Sept. 20 in a match that has been rescheduled twice due to rain and thunderstorms. Powhatan will then compete in the Region 4B tournament.

Foos said it was “bigâ€? for the Indians to bounce back from the setback against Midlothian with back-to-back wins. “You don’t want to come off a loss and roll into two more losses,â€? she said. “I was proud of the way they played against Midlo. It just sucks that we lost. Again, it’s frustrating to have a lead and end up blowing it. That seems to be our trend this year. I don’t know what it is‌as a coach, I can’t coach them to have more

endurance or mind games.� The endurance of the three games in three days did show itself with the Indians going two-ofthree in that stretch. “It’s exhausting,� Foos said. “Having today for practice would have been nice, since we would have probably just done an hour of practice. Threein-a-row is tiring.� Powhatan’s schedule continued to test its athletes with three games in four days. Powhatan host-

ed James River on Sept. 17. Then, Powhatan hit the road to take on Fluvanna on Sept. 18 and will host Monticello on Sept. 20. Foos said that some injuries that the Indians are struggling with are adding to the grind of the season. “Overall, I think we look good and continue to get better,� she said. “If we can get better with our errors, I think we can surprise some teams.�
