Festival of the Grape turns sweet 16 By Laura McFarland

ters and John Rothert, but the project took many more helping hands to come to fruition, said Angie Cabell, executive director of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce. There was an uptick in Powhatan vendor participation with Fine Creek Brewing Co. and Three Crosses Distilling Co. joining Skippers Creek Vineyard in providing local spirits. That was in addition to the several local restaurants that sold food to hungry festivalgoers and the local businesses, churches and nonprofits that informed and entertained them. But the local participation far exceeds the booths people visit on the day of the festival, Cabell said. Locals show up in

OWHATAN – The Powhatan Festival of the Grape celebrated a rousing sweet 16 when thousands of residents and visitors filled the streets of the Village area this weekend. The multitudes came out on Saturday, Oct. 6 for a day of wine tasting, music, food and shopping and got a few new attractions with the addition of five distilleries, two cideries and a meadery to the roster of vendors. Another new addition was the LOVE letters, which were custom built to be a local art installation. The giant red letters were built by Timmy and Michelle Wal-

POWHATAN – Local elected officials and community members gathered at Powhatan Middle School recently to formally dedicate the school and welcome it into the service of educating Powhatan youth. The school district made the decision this summer to wait until the school had been in session for a few weeks before holding a dedication and ribbon cutting to commemorate the new building. More than 150 students, parents, community members, elected officials and special guests gathered for the ceremony held on Saturday, Sept. 29 in the school’s Commons area. The dedication was fol-

POWHATAN – Bryson Slate is a constant source of surprise to his family. At a little shy of 3 months old, Bryson is already developing a personality. He recognizes the faces of his parents, Amanda and Chuck Slate of Powhatan, and older brother, Landon, 7, and smiles at them. He loves cuddles and is overall happy and active for his age, his dad said. Given how much Bryson moved around in the womb, his parents guessed he would be feisty, and they were right. And they are thankful for that, because for all intents and purposes, Bryson shouldn’t be feisty and active. If his outward behavior matched the diagnosis he has faced since birth, he should be tired and ill much of the time.

For the entire 39 weeks Amanda was pregnant, the family had no idea anything might be wrong. Having lived through the pain of two miscarriages in see HEART, pg. 6

Emergency services celebrates Fire Prevention Week By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Powhatan Fire and Rescue is recognizing National Fire Prevention Week this week to raise awareness of the steps county residents can take to help ensure their safety. The 2018 National Fire Prevention Week is being recognized nationwide Oct. 7 to 13 as a reminder to everyone that they can take steps in their own homes and businesses to prevent some of the most common causes of fires. During its meeting on Sept. 24, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing the prevention week and all of the members of Powhatan County Fire and Rescue for their service to the county. This year’s theme, “Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere,” effec-

tively serves to educate the public about the vital importance of developing a home fire escape plan with all members of the household and practicing it twice a year. The proclamation, which was read by David Williams, District 1, noted that home fires

in Virginia resulted in 50 civilian deaths in 2017. It pointed out that many of today’s products and furnishings produce toxic gases and smoke when burned, making it impossible to see and breathe within moments in a fire. These conditions contribute to a much

smaller window of time for people to escape a home fire safely, with people having as little as one to two minutes to escape from the time the smoke alarm sounds. A home fire escape plan includes two exits from every room in the home; a path to the outside from each exit; smoke alarms in all required locations; and a meeting place outside where everyone in the home will meet upon exiting, according to the proclamation. Practicing a home fire escape plan twice a year ensures that everyone in the household knows what to do in a real fire situation. Phil Warner, assistant chief for fire and rescue, said in a separate interview that the department focuses on fire prevention education throughout the year, but especially during the month of October, when it see FIRE, pg. 4

for students but a facility that will benefit the community. He thanked the community for supporting the project both during construction and now with the end result. “I spoke to several people. There were some people who had taught at the school when it was the high school before (the current) Powhatan High School opened,” Jones said. “They spoke about what a wonderful building it was, how open and inviting it was. It seemed like a very dynamic space for learning compared to the old building. That was the feedback we got. Everybody seems to love the building, especially the people that were there that day.” All members of the Powhatan County School Board were present at the dedication, as were some of the supervisors. This included school board members chairman Joe Walters, Rick Cole, James Kunka, Valarie Ayers, and Kim Hymel and supervisors David Williams, Larry Nordvig, Billy Melton and Carson Tucker. Also present were Del. Lee Ware, former county administrator Pat Weiler, county administrator Ted Voorhees, and sheriff Brad Nunnally. The Powhatan Middle School Band and Chorus each performed during the 30-minute ceremony. There was also a special plaque presentation from representatives from Kenbridge Construction and Moseley Architects, which handled the project. Walters spoke during the ceremony about the importance school buildings have long had on students’ lives as a “focal point and a gathering place for the exchange of ideas, the sharing of information, fellowship, and to provide an opportunity for friendly sports and competition.” “This building remains active throughout the day with students eagerly engaged in learning and spending time with friends,” he said. “There are dedicated teachers and staff providing valuable educational opportunities, and also parents dropping off forgotten projects, a lunch or two, the occasional band instrument, and even a few pieces of sports equipment left at home in the hustle of

Shorter bus rides a priority for schools By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Powhatan County Public Schools Transportation Department has been working steadily since before the start of the new school year to reduce school bus ride times for students. The school board has heard a series of presentations that started before the beginning of the school year, when the department knew it had some longer routes but was unsure just how long they would turn out depending on how many students rode the bus. Larry Johns, assistant superintendent, and Kris

Gwaltney, director of transportation, have prepared and spoken the most during the presentations, the most recent of which was held at the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 25. Johns said that transportation has a department goal of a one-hour maximum drive time for a bus route each way. If a bus route exceeds that time, the preferred goal is to review it to determine if any adjustments can be made to decrease the time. The division has about four routes consistently from year to year that are over an hour because of the distance they cover, but as of Sept. 18, there were seven that are running over that

Keep Your Family Smiling by Becoming Part of Ours

goal, he said. Five of them are Powhatan High School routes, one is for Flat Rock Elementary and one is for Pocahontas Elementary. Johns laid out the challenge these bus drivers face, when because of the distances they travel (ranging from 19.29 miles to 39.11 miles from the first pickup), their drive time with no stops already starts at anywhere from 26 to 52 minutes. The shortest of these routes, the Flat Rock route, has one of the longest average times because it picks up 32 riders and has Route 60 crossing delays. The longest route, which is a high school route that travels 39.11 miles, has the same average route time of

receives many requests to visit churches and daycares. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Escape plans are one of the things we really stress when we do our fourth grade education and we go to the schools. It is so important that we not just talk about them but go home and practice,â&#x20AC;? he said. Another prevention tool Warner stressed was having working smoking alarms. Many people use the two annual time changes to remind them to change the batteries in their smoke alarms, but when the fire department gives free ones out in the com-

munity, it uses 10-year smoke alarms. They last for 10 years, at which point people just replace the whole thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bought a bunch of those and that is what we give out to our citizens who call us for assistance for smoke alarms,â&#x20AC;? he said and added â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those funds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taxpayer funds; those are funds that are donated to the fire and rescue departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteer association and then they make the purchase for us.â&#x20AC;?

He added that kitchen fires are also a problem when people become distracted by their phones or watching television and forget things on the stove or in the oven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We run more kitchen fires and space heater fires in Powhatan probably than anything else. Most of that stuff is all preventable if you take time to mind your cooking and pay attention to it and keep things 3 feet away from space heaters,â&#x20AC;? Warner said.

droves to help, whether it is volunteering to take tickets, give shuttle rides, empty trash cans, pour beer, run the checking station for people who have bought bottles, set up, take down, or the many other jobs it took to make the festival a success for the 16th year in a row, Cabell said. “You’ve got to love a small town. That’s what this is – a small town coming together to throw one heck of a party,” she said. Although she won’t know the attendance numbers until later in the week, Cabell said it was a good turnout with a steady flow of people coming through the gates all day. Chuck Zacharias, coowner of Skippers Creek, said it was the winery’s fifth year at the festival representing Powhatan and getting its name out to wine lovers. The festival can be overwhelming since the tent could have crowds three to four people deep waiting for tastings, but it is still a good experience, he said. “I think it does a lot for the county because people

come from all over to attend,” he said. About halfway through the day, John Davenport, co-owner of Three Crosses, said the festival allowing distilleries this year was great for his fledgling business, which only opened the last weekend of August. The distillery offered rum, whiskey and vodka tastings and sold mixed drinks. “We have had good, steady sales. It seems to be a good reception,” Davenport said. “A lot of them don’t know we exist, so that has been good exposure.” Steve Barham, owner of Barham Seafood in Powhatan, had a tent in the food court for the second year, selling crab cakes, fried catfish, shrimp and oysters, and more. He said he was shocked how well the tent did last year, so he was happy to come back again. “It’s a good event. It helps the county and gets us on the map,” he said. The festivalgoers seemed happy as well. Linda Daniels of Powhatan is a regular at the Festival of the Grape, having attended every year except one. She came with a large

Daniels said she likes arriving early and was the first in line so they could visit the wine tents they like best without having to wade through crowds. They like visiting the favorites but also enjoy discovering new wines they haven’t tasted before. “Sometimes you can’t buy them except here and at the winery,” she noted. Whitney and Greg Dalton of Powhatan attended the festival for the third year but brought along a first-timer, their 3-monthold Raymond. They planned to meet friends who were also bringing their children so they could have a day out together, enjoying the wine, shopping, music and fellowship. “We start from the beginning and work our way through. We get here early and stay all day,” she said. “We get a bottle to share after we have done the tastings and we just sit and listen to the music together.”

the past few years, they lived in a state of worry and fear during this pregnancy. But nothing happened. Checkup after checkup came back with healthy test results. But a few hours after Bryson was born on July 21, 2018, the hospital staff noticed a few things, Amanda said. “He wasn’t maintaining the appropriate temperature. His breathing was a little labored. He wasn’t maintaining the appropriate blood sugar level. And they heard a pretty strong heart murmur,” she said.

More tests revealed Bryson has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a disease in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, making it harder for the heart to pump blood. Right now he is on a beta blocker to reduce his blood pressure, but ultimately, the transplant team at University of Virginia Health System Pediatric Cardiology in Charlottesville has recommended a life-saving heart transplant, and he has been added to the transplant list. More tests and doctors visits followed. At about 1 month old, Bryson was diagnosed with a genetic

disorder known as Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines. It can affect many areas of the body. In Bryson, it likely led to his hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and they learned it also caused severe to profound hearing loss in both ears. He will be getting hearing aids soon, Chuck said. “Right now he can’t hear us talking. The only thing he can hear is deep, deep sounds like a dog barking or a door slamming. With hearing aids

we will be able to get into mild hearing loss so he should be able to develop speech,” Chuck said. “They wanted to have him get hearing aids before he was 3 months old to keep him on track for normal speech development.” The Slates live a semi normal life. Chuck goes to work at Capital One, Landon goes to second grade at Pocahontas Elementary School, and Amanda stays home with Bryson. Just like Amanda

always thought he would be, Landon is a great big brother, wanting to see Bryson first thing in the morning and as soon as he gets home from school. Then there are the notso-routine facts of life. There is the medicine Bryson has to take every six hours, day or night. There is the regular visits to what Chuck said they call Bryson’s “ologists” – his cardiologist, hematologist, and audiologist. There is the fear of germs being brought into the house that would endanger his health, his mom said. “We do live kind of like a normal family but we are more on pins and needles. We feel like we have to have eyes on him at all times,” Amanda said. And then there is the wait – a wait filled with both hope and terror. They always have to be cognizant of the fact they could receive a call at any time saying a heart donor has been found for Bryson. It is a call they dream of receiving so they know Bryson has a chance at a better life, but it is still major surgery, Chuck said. Added to that, since the owner of the donor heart has to weigh roughly the same amount as Bryson, they know that him receiving a heart means someone else has lost a child. “That is another terrible thing we struggle with – knowing while we are waiting for that and want that so bad, it is coming at someone else’s time of terrible loss. We hope that family would find some sense of peace in knowing that in their loss their child helped someone else to live,” Chuck said. One thing the family has thought about but is only now really starting to process is the very real hurdle of Bryson’s medical bills. In addition to all of the medical bills that are already piling up, the family faces an unknown amount for a transplant surgery and the years of follow-up treatment to come. “For me at first I didn’t even think about the money aspect of it. I was so concerned with his health. Once you are over the initial shock, you start to

think about those types of things,” Amanda said. Transplant procedure costs range from $100,000 to more than $800,000, according to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA), a national 501(c)3 charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-related expenses. Once the transplant is complete, families face significant transplant-related expenses, including medication; transportation to and from the transplant center; lodging; and expenses while parents are out of work and often living with the hospitalized child far from home. The organization’s priority is to assure that no child or young adult is denied a transplant or excluded from a transplant waiting list due to lack of funds. One hundred percent of all funds raised in honor of patients assist with transplant-related expenses for a patient’s lifetime. Bryson’s family has asked for assistance from COTA to help raise money and the organization helped set a $60,000 fundraising goal and a website where people can donate at www.COTAforTeamBrysonS.com. As of Oct. 7, the page shows $10,260 has been donated toward that goal. Contributions may also be sent to the Children’s Organ Transplant Association, 2501 West COTA Drive, Bloomington, Indiana, 47403. Checks should be made payable to COTA, with “In Honor of Team Bryson S” written on the memo line. The bills are a very real concern for the family, but Chuck and Amanda don’t hesitate to say that is their second concern, falling far beyond seeing their son receive the transplant he needs to grow into a healthy little boy. “We’ve just go to enjoy every moment and keep you strong and healthy,” Chuck said to Bryson, who was cuddled in his arms, as he planted a kiss on the baby’s head. “That’s the first step.”

Journalism matters now more than ever By Laura McFarland News Editor

ave you ever seen someone jump onto a sinking ship? Probably not — unless they were saving someone. It’s a weird analogy, but there have been times in the last few years when I have told someone I worked in print journalism, newspapers in particular, and they looked at me like I was one of those musicians on the Titanic, playing even as imminent doom was swelling up all around them. I get it. In an ever-increasing digital age, newspapers can sometimes seem like a relic of the past. And as I look around, the news isn’t good. Only last week I was reading a Facebook post of a former co-worker who went on to work for The Oklahoman, a newspaper where I interned in college, about a huge layoff after the paper was sold. Her job seems safe for now, but she said 37 colleagues and friends lost their jobs. I personally know the pain of living through one of those situations. So that means I should be worried, right? Thinking about a new job or looking at classes at one of our local community colleges to start training for a new career. Here’s why I am not: “Journalism matters. NOW more than ever.” That’s the theme of the 78th annual National Newspaper Week, which runs from Oct. 7 to

13 this year, and I am saying it here because it’s true. Journalism matters because our community matters. How many times have I heard from people, both the born-heres and come-heres, that there is something special about Powhatan County they don’t want to see change? Usually this is in relation to resistance to some kind of development, but it is the same whether someone has been here two weeks or 50 years. It’s the winding roads through the beautiful countryside and quaint Village area; the Christmas Mother program that has lasted 50 years and the county fair that is

coming up on 100; the volunteer fire and rescue personnel who dedicate years of their lives to making sure their neighbors are safe; the school system that constantly strives to improve the lives and opportunities of local youth; the wide range of civic groups and nonprofits who strive to serve the community; and the never-ending stories of Powhatan showing up to help people in need.

It’s the thousands of stories written by the staff, current and past, and the thousands more we still need to tell. It’s the honor rolls; the meeting announcements; the board meeting coverage; the new hires stories; the celebrations of businesses that have been in the community for decades; and the crime stories that let people know when things are not right in the county. It’s the play-by-play of local sports – football, volleyball, lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, swimming, golf – in which our community takes pride. Thank our great sports editor Billy Fellin for those. It’s the long list of festivals, art shows, church happenings, support groups, story times, book signings, nonprofit meetings, charity fundraisers, special events, concerts, plays, and more that are available in Powhatan if you only look. Did you know the Powhatan Today does not charge for birth, engagement or wedding announcements, milestone anniversaries or local obituaries? Why – because it is a service to our community. It’s the breaking news and the everyday stuff that make up life in the county. And community journalism, which is what this writer tries to bring to you every week, is recognizing that both are important services to provide. And we hope to keep doing so for many years to come.

Jack Ridolphi takes the field with the Goochland High School football players as part of the annual Coach to Cure game.

A simple walk delivers strong message By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

It’s one of the most anticipated moments at any football game — that minute that a team gathers behind a banner ready to explode through the wall of paper and take the field. It’s no different at home games at Goochland High School. Even from a distance you can feel the energy as the team begins to chant and a quiet murmur becomes a roar shortly before they shred the banner in unison and charge the field. It’s a message a team displays that exudes confidence and courage and sends a clear message to the opposing team that the Bulldogs are ready to defend their turf, unafraid of the pending challenge and confident they will emerge victorious. Needless to say, standing anywhere in front of that banner during this process is not advised. The banner break sets the tone and fires up the crowd, and has become part of an important routine at GHS. Once each season the procedure takes on another tone as coaches across the nation join hands to fight a disease that robs young men of their chance to run through that banner or play other sports. In an effort to fight Muscu-

lar Dystrophy, the Parents Project for Muscular Dystrophy teams with the American Football Coaches Association to sponsor Coach to Cure, a recognition of those who suffer with MD and the need for more research and hopefully a cure for the terminal disease. For years, my son has participated in Goochland’s observation of the event, spending time with the team in the week leading up to the game, serving as honorary captain for the game, and, most importantly, taking the field with players he considers teammates. As a parent, I rarely hand off Jack to anyone because I’m probably too overprotective of his condition, always considering what could happen or what obstacles are in his way. Last week, Jack headed to Goochland for another Coach to Cure game, an event started by former GHS coach Joe Fowler. As soon as Fowler learned of Jack’s diagnosis eight years ago, he began organizing this annual effort to raise awareness and money to fight Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He also recognized that Jack had an important message for his players: a lesson of love, determination, overcoming obstacles and remaining positive in the face of what seem like insurmountable odds. New coach Alex Fruth knows Jack from

Dear Editor, I am writing in response to Virginia McCown's 9/26 article about repelling deer and other garden pests. As a Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardener over 12 years ago and a former frequent contributor to the Powhatan Today, I learned a method of saving my plants (hosta, rhododendron, daylilly, etc.) that was not mentioned in this article. It works! The product I use is found at big box stores and garden centers. It is Milorganite, a sewage treatment product in granular form. About once a month, starting in early spring, I throw a handful of the dry product on plants that in prior times have been like salad treats to the animals, mostly deer. The result is nearly 100 percent success in non-eaten plants. If I neglect to apply the Milorganite, my plants are eaten. I recommend this product to all who complain about deer destruction. The suppliers of Milorganite make no claims of its repellant qualities. However, on their website they offer several means of repelling deer, rabbits, and voles. They offer test results from University of Georgia experiments and other convincing articles. I haven't knowingly tried Milorganite to repel rabbits or voles but haven't seen their damage for some time. Perhaps it is because I no longer have the plants they desire. But it has been effective against deer. Chuck Miller Powhatan County

aviator, I am alarmed at the rousing support of my gender for Abigail Spanberger for Congress. Although the political ads depict her as a patriot, her policies, when examined, do not match the values of many of the 7th District. First of all, an ex-CIA agent does not necessarily qualify one for this seat. Dave Brat is an eminent professor of economics who understands how this country needs to dig itself out of its deep financial debt. The economy has already seen unprecedented growth due to tax cuts. Ms. Spanberger opposes tax reform and would undoubtedly not reach across the aisle to support fiscal responsibility. Secondly, she supports universal health care. Need I mention the Affordable Care Act and what financial problems it wrought? She is also against building the border wall, stating that it would not reduce drug infiltration into our country. One study has shown that 88 per cent of illegal drugs come through the southern border. Furthermore, she has implied that she would support sanctuary cities in Virginia. She has also criticized Congressman Brat for not attending town hall meetings. Hmm...if you were shouted down twice by angry protestors who would not allow for civil discourse, what would you do? Lastly, I do not understand why she was so indignant that her brief tenure at an Islamic school, nicknamed “terror high,” was uncovered. Are there other secrets we voters need to know? Beneath the benign facade of working for the 7th, lies a tax-andspend figure who will not reach across the aisle and will tax us into oblivion. It is time, Ms. Spanberger, to inform the voters of your real intentions, not the kumbayah theme implied in your ads. Examine the issues, voters. To support a candidate because she is a woman is both inane and sexist. Connie Thompson Powhatan

his former days on the Bulldog sideline, and welcomed the chance to continue the tradition. As we prepared for pregame ceremonies last week, I waited to deliver Jack to his assigned position with the team as they prepared to take the field. One of Jack’s teammates walked up to me and said, “Don’t worry about Jack, I’ll take care of him.” That seemingly small number of words spoke volumes about a team that displays much more than an off-the-chart ability to win football games. They protect and care for Jack as if he’s one of them. They love him because he is one of them. So, I had no worries as I heard that familiar rumble that came from behind the banner as the team began its normal procedure. And, finally, when the time to bust out finally arrived, the banner split and a determined group of young men walked with a

sense of determination through the shredded paper. They surrounded Jack and strode at his speed onto the field, a show of unity and determination against a disease that they understand, but do not fear. The lack of the usual stampede that follows the banner break spoke volumes about the commitment and compassion of a group of young athletes and a coaching staff that understands the realities that life can deliver. For Jack, the message means he’s not alone in a battle that can become lonely and isolated. More importantly, Jack feels a sense of safety and security when he’s with the team. Since its inception 11 years ago, Coach to Cure has raised more than $2 million, most of it dedicated to research and development of drugs that can treat or cure muscle disease. For the past eight of those years, Goochland coaches, players, fans and Jack have celebrated those efforts with a Coach to

Cure game. That means hundreds of Goochland players have entered their adult lives with a clear understanding and personal knowledge of the challenges faced by the disabled community, and Jack and his family hold each of them in a special place in our hearts. When the Bulldogs return home for their next game, that run through the banner will return to its traditional flavor, filled with enthusiasm and frenzy. With each of those thundering steps, I’ll be remembering a night when a simple walk delivered a strong message of unity, understanding and compassion by a group of young men who get it. I won’t forget it. And words cannot express my thanks and appreciation for the Goochland community and the compassion and love they’ve shown regarding Jack and his condition.

Second half burst from Louisa dooms Indians By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatan’s football team scored two touchdowns and shutout the Louisa offense in the first half. The second half, however, was a sharp turnaround from the first and the Lions attack would not be quelled. Louisa scored 24 unanswered points to come back from the two-touchdown deficit to grab a 24-14 win on Oct. 5.

“We did a heck of a job defensively,” Indians coach Jim Woodson said. “It’s difficult to prepare for that type of team. They’re running spread, they have a 6-foot-7 receiver and then the next play they’re running single wing. It was a very difficult week in preparation and it’s hard to get the scout team to give us a little glimpse of what it really looks like. I’m proud of how they prepared. That’s a great football team and they have a lot of talent. Our guys played hard, they played with heart and I can’t ask them to play

any harder than they did.” Louisa entered the game against the Indians averaging 39 points per game and hadn’t scored less than 35 in any game this season. The first Indians score of the night came quickly. After Louisa turned the ball over on downs on its first drive at the Indians 39, Powhatan marched down the field, converting four third downs on the drive. It was capped off by a Jacob Taylor 4-yard run for a score.

Louisa went three-and-out on its next drive and attempted a punt on fourth down, which was partially blocked and gave the Indians the ball at the 35 yard line of Louisa. Taylor wasted no time, taking the ball 35 yards for a score on the first play after the blocked punt. “We’ve been running that play and we saw they were pursuing really hard,” Taylor said. “So, I just cut back and found a lane.” see INDIANS, pg. 4B

Bigham nets hat trick for Powhatan in 5-0 rout By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan senior Danielle Bigham scored three goals in the Indians 5-0 win over Charlottesville on Oct. 4 at Powhatan High School.

Powhatan’s field hockey team didn’t let its first losing streak of the season get very far. The Indians dropped back-to-back against two tough teams in Monticello and Albemarle, but pulled out of the short skid with two wins over its last two games. Most recently, Danielle Bigham led Powhatan with a hat trick in a 5-0 win over Charlottesville on Oct. 4. “It was awesome,” Bigham said. “We were coming out of a streak and we really broke through the gate. We’re back in it now. We’re looking like we did in the beginning of the season. We’re really con-

necting as a team.” The Indians wasted no time in the matchup with the Black Knights, earning a corner in the second minute of play. Calie Rehme sent a shot on net, but it was deflected and went out of bounds. Powhatan regained possession soon thereafter and Hanna Hathaway received a pass and, with a twirl behind her back, sent the ball past the Charlottesville netminder for a 1-0 lead. Powhatan earned corners in the sixth and 10th minutes, but were unable to score on either of those opportunities. Charlottesville had one of its only chances on offense with a bit of pressure on the Indians defense, but Powhatan swept away the chance without any harm. see GOALS, pg 2B

Disabled Golf Open headed to Independence in May By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatan County’s Independence Golf Club will play host to the 2019 United States Disabled Open Golf Championship on May 14-16, 2019. The announcement was made on Oct. 4 at Independence and was attended by representatives of Powhatan County, 288 Sports, Independence Golf Club, as well as Richmond Region Tourism. “We’re very excited USDGA has chosen Independence Golf Course to host its 2019 tournament,” David Williams, District 1 supervisor for Powhatan said in a statement. “We have a world-class golf course here in Powhatan County and we’re always happy when people chose to come here.” Larry Nordvig, Powhatan District 2 representative on the Board of Supervisors, was an-

I get a sense that these people are very courageous, they demonstrate perseverance and they’re an inspiration to us all.” Along with Nordvig, Williams and vice chairwoman Angela Cabell of District 3 were also at Independence for the announcement.

“We love associating with people with passion and Jason has a lot of passion. He’s one of the most driven and smart people I’ve had the privilege to interact with. The folks that’ll play in this event are equally skilled and talented. A place like Independence in the heart of Powhatan County, to be able to host an event like this, it’s a great privilege and an honor and excited.” Faircloth, a golfer with Cerebral Palsy, founded the USDGA. He played in the Disabled British Open in 2011 and 2012 and wanted to bring that experience to American golfers. “We are confident that the 2019 United States Disabled Open Golf Championship at Independence Golf Club will set a new standard for the USDGA,” Faircloth said in a press release. “Independence Golf Club will be a challenging and exciting course for the nation’s top adaptive golfers.”

Charlottesville earned back-to-back corners in the 38th minute, but both were defended well by the Indians. Michala Taylor got in on the scoring action when she sent a shot on goal that bounced up and was caught in the netting

The championship is in its second year of existence. The inaugural tournament was held in Orlando this past spring. The event is inclusive to all players with physical and intellectual impairments with no more than a 30 golf handicap. The tournament will feature three divisions and awards will be given in each division. The event will be a 36-hole tournament and the organization estimates that more than 60 golfers from across the country will participate. Golfers with impairments such as amputations, blindness, Cerebral Palsy, MS and more will compete.

ments of these type of golfers,” he said. “So, we reached out to people in the community, like (executive director) Hunter Leemon from Sportable, to best understand what type of assets and attention these golfers need. But, the more we talk to Jason, we find out these guys are really accomplished golfers and very good players. We’re excited to have them.” While the event is still months away, the drive for volunteers has already begun. “The best thing to do is to go to usdga.net and learn about the event,” Edmonds said. “The inspiration you’ll find from these golfers is going to inspire people to get involved. The No. 1 thing we need right now is volunteerism. We need people to be out here to support and showcase Independence and the Richmond region and really welcome these golfers to town.”

games to get back in the groove.” The Indians beat Western Albemarle 1-0 on Oct. 2 on the road with a goal by Katlyn Hicks. To Brooks’ point, the last time Powhatan faced the Warriors, they won 4-0. Powhatan didn’t score any goals against Albemarle and only managed one against Monticello in its double-overtime loss. Brooks said that the goal drought might have gotten into her team’s psyche. “The longer it went on, the more stressed out they got about it,” she said. “They got into their own heads a little bit. As soon as we scored against Western, it was late in the game, but some of that pressure was listed off them.” Bigham agreed with her coach that that goal against the Warriors was the one that got the Indians back to form. “That really broke through the flood gates,” she said. “It’s just that sound. When you start hearing that, you get the groove going. It’s the adrenaline and everyone is rolling again.”

Indians cross country honors seniors at last home meet By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatan’s second home cross country meet occurred on Oct.2 and the Indians took the time to honor its large senior class on both the girls and boys cross country teams. All told, the Indians honored 13 seniors across the two teams. “I’ve been on this team for four years,” Powhatan’s Josh McLevain said. “It’s been nice to see everyone grow up and the friendships build from the start. At first, I didn’t know anyone, but now, they’re like family to me.” Powhatan’s boys team faced off against Thomas Dale, Monacan and Manchester as well as some runners from Carver College and Career Academy. The Indians scored 59 points for second behind the Lancers. The Knights were third and the Chiefs were fourth. Senior John Cavedo led the Powhatan contingent with a fifth-place finish in 18:29. He was neck-andneck with Manchester’s Ryan Verhaeghe down the stretch and finished just .89 seconds apart. “It means a lot to me,” he said of being a senior. “These people are not only my friends, but they’re my family. My family has grown, bigger and bigger, every year.” Fellow senior Will Paxton was in sixth close behind Cavedo with an 18:30. “It’s been pretty awesome growing up with these people,” he said. “It’s

been a privilege. When we are going through the workouts, it’s about pushing through because you know the person beside you is going through the same pain you are. I love cross country since it’s a team sport, but you can still beat yourself.” Colton Vosburg finished 12th in the race with a 19:17. “This is our last year together,” he said. “This year, it’s been good because you come to understand values and morals and appreciating the sport better. Even if I’m not doing personally better, I feel more connected and I’m having a really good time. Everyone here cheers for each other. We love each other like a family.” Sophomore Davis Tester was 18th for the Indians with a 19:52, with senior Logan Allen finishing 22nd with a 19:57. “I’ve been here a long time,” Allen said. “I’ve pushed myself harder and harder and done better and better. We’ve grown really close the last four years. We have a big team and we’re rolling.” Senior Jack Leipertz was 25th with a 20:30 for the Indians. It is Leipertz’s first season on the team. “All the guys out here, I’ve grown up with them and finally getting to be on the team with them and run with them, it’s incredible,” he said. “They’ve been trying to get me to run for years, but I’ve had knee problems for years. But, that’s in the past and it’s been a good experience.” Senior Noah Allen was 27th with a 20:55 and

McLevain was 28th with a 21:19. “It feels good to have it end with all my teammates,” Allen said. “We run together well at practices and the bond grows every day.” Wes Coward rounded out the senior contingent for the Powhatan boys with a 29th-place finish in 21:21. “It’s amazing to me,” he said. “I’ve been running with these guys and there’s no one I’d rather run with. I like to do this with people I like doing it with. If it weren’t for these guys, I probably wouldn’t be doing it.” On the girls side, the Indians went up against Manchester, Monacan and Thomas Dale. The Indians finished third of the teams that qualified for scores with 63 points. The Chiefs were first overall with 23 points and the Lancers were second with 44 points. Junior Michelle Eggleston led Powhatan with an eighth-place finish in 24:15. Senior Ashley Trevillian was ninth with a 24:32. “I’m going to miss these people so much,” she said. “I’ve grown really close with all of them. I enjoy running a lot.” Sophomore Alexis Elzey was 15th for the Indians with a 25:29 and senior Ashley Van Buskirk was 20th with a 26:37. “It’s here, finally,” she said. “I got into (cross country) to build my endurance and to stay in shape. It’s become so much more than that. Everyone just wants to get

better out there.” Olivia Cosgrove, a sophomore, was 22nd with a 27:14, senior Caitlin Grell was 23rd with a 27:48 and sophomore Carly Dolan was 24th with a 28:12. “It means a lot,” she said. “This is my fifth season. We’ve been a family for so long. Each race has been an improvement, time-wise, this season.” Freshman Carsen Hogston was 25th for Powhatan with a 28:26 and Addison Jones, another freshman, was 26th with a 29:00. Two seniors, Olivia Ashton and Megan Perkins, participated in the mixed 5k run. Ashton was 34th in that event with a 28:05 and Perkins was 37th with a

31:17. It is Ashton’s first season as a member of the cross country team. “It’s so much fun,” she said. “I heard a lot of fun things about it. My brother is a freshman, so I really wanted to participate in a sport with him. I also wanted to get in shape for lacrosse.” Perkins is a four-year member of the team and a captain.

“I love it,” she said. “I love running and you feel pain, but your body and mind overcomes the pain. You just push through, finish, and you feel great.” The Indians will run in the Lee-Davis Invitational at Pole Green Park on Oct. 13.

Roundup: Indians fall to Warriors, sweep Black Knights By Billy Fellin

The Indians hit the road on Oct. 9 to Louisa and will host Fluvanna on Oct. 11 in the Dig Pink game.

Sports Editor

Powhatan’s volleyball team had itself a battle on Oct. 2. The Indians travelled to Western Albemarle and went five sets against the Warriors, but fell in five. Powhatan won set one convincingly 25-12, but dropped set two 25-17. Set three went to Western Albemarle 25-21, but the Indians came back in set four 25-20 to force the decisive fifth set. That fifth set, however, went to the Warriors 15-10. Sierra Ellison led the Indians against Western Albemarle with 14 kills and 10 digs. Maddie Turner had 30 digs, Natalie Mueller had 21 assists and Jordan Davis had eight kills in the loss. It is the fifth time the Indians have gone to the full five sets this season, but Powhatan has only prevailed in one of those games, the Sept. 19 contest against Fluvanna. On Oct. 4, Powhatan blew past Charlottesville 25-9, 25-4, 25-6.

INDIANS Continued from pg. 1

Louisa got some rhythm offensively on its next drive, which bled into the second quarter, but a field goal attempt was partially blocked and another drive came up empty for the Lions. Special teams was big for the Indians on the night with field goal blocks keeping at least six Louisa points off the board over the course of the game. The rest of the first half saw both teams trade possessions and punts, but with no meaningful movement from either team. The second half, however, was a completely different story. Louisa’s defense loaded the box against Taylor and stopped

Blake Markel, 11, of Powhatan also got his first deer at the Powhatan Wildlife Management Area during the youth hunting weekend of Sept. 29-30.

COLLEGE Powhatan graduate Gatlin Snyder got the start for Randolph-Macon on Oct. 6 against Lynchburg and made 20 saves in the cage in a 4-2 loss for the Yellow Jackets. On Oct. 3, Snyder made 10 saves against Mary Washington in a 2-1 loss.

the first Indians drive of the second half. Indians quarterback and punter Jacob Moss punted to Noah Robinson. He made a few tacklers miss, ran up the sideline and scored from 60 yards out to make it a 14-7 game. The Indians’ next drive ended in just three plays when Moss was intercepted by Alex Washington. Just five plays after his interception, Washington finished the Lions’ drive with a 30-yard touchdown run to make it 15-14 Lions after a successful twopoint conversion. Powhatan’s offense continued to languish against the Lions defensive adjustments, as it missed a field goal on its next drive. While the momentum was squarely in Louisa’s corner, the

Lions couldn’t immediately deliver the knock-out punch to the Indians. Powhatan’s defense stopped several promising Louisa drives deep in the Indians end of the field. Louisa attempted two field goals after Powhatan stopped the offense on third down, but they were both no good and had a rushing touchdown called back due to a holding penalty. While the Indians still hung around in the game, the offense was unable to find that elusive score. One pivotal drive came immediately after Louisa took the lead at 15-14. Powhatan dipped into its bag of tricks as Moss completed a pass to Jaysun Carroll, who then lateralled to Taylor for another 20 yards on the play. A

personal foul called on a late hit by Louisa on Taylor gave Powhatan 15 more yards. Isaac Trent and Carroll got the Indians deeper into the Lions’ territory, but a third-down run by Trent was stopped by Louisa and Powhatan was forced to settle for a field goal attempt. That attempt was offtarget and Powhatan came up empty handed on the drive. The final chance for Powhatan occurred when the Indians took possession of the ball on the Indians 3-yard line with 3:10 left in the game. Powhatan ran four plays for only 3 yards of forward movement before backup quarterback Lance Fleming was sacked for a safety to make it 17-14 Lions. The Lions recovered the ensuing free kick and scored on a

25-yard touchdown run by Hunter to extinguish any further chance of a Powhatan comeback and seal the game at 2414. Overall, Powhatan contained the Louisa attack, with the 60yard punt return being the only big play of the game. None of the Louisa skill players on offense accumulated more than 100 yards individually. “They ran the single wing and spread and we had two different defenses that we practiced all week,” TJ Gates said. “We did really well in stopping both. I’m disappointed we lost, but I’m looking forward to the future weeks because I think we’ll do a lot better.” Powhatan will travel to Fluvanna to face the upstart Flucos on Oct. 12.
