Neighbors stranded as road washes out

By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – When talking about the massive amounts of water that came through Hickory Shade Drive during Tropical Storm Michael, the road’s residents use descriptors like “white water” and “shooting out like a cannon.” And when they say through the road, they mean it.

For the second time in about a month, heavy rains caused by a storm passing through the region devastated the quiet private road in southeast Powhatan County when it completely washed away two sections of the road, said Jeff Waters, one of the residents living on the now cut off portion of Hickory Shade Drive.

In September, the road was completely washed away in two places when rains associated with Hurricane Florence hit the area, he said. In October, all of the resi-

dents on the road had pitched in and paid $15,000 to have one of those massive washouots repaired and had already scheduled the repair of the second. A week later, Tropical Storm Michael hit. The repaired part of the road was not only washed away again, but the second unrepaired hole was widened and became completely impassable by vehicles.

“We thought we had it fixed 10 times over, but obviously we need something else. We need double what we had,” Waters said.

Because Hickory Shade Drive is a private road, the residents have been hitting mostly dead ends as they try to seek asPHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND sistance in getting it fixed, Waters said.

LOVE letters add to Village charm

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – If people didn’t know Powhatan County has a lot of love, it’s now spelled out for them in big red letters.

For anyone who has been in the Village area in the last few weeks, it would be hard to miss the LOVE letters art installation that was set up in time for the 16th annual Festival of the Grape. But unlike the LOVE letters seen at the festival in the previous two years, which were on loan from the LOVEworks program, these new red ones are Powhatan owned and – organizers hope – here to stay.

The giant wood letters spelling out LOVE are located on private property on the corner of

Cadet earns top Civil Air Patrol award

By Laura McFarland News Editor

DELIVER TO: Postal Patron Powhatan, VA 23139

Board narrows financing talks to $9.4 million

POWHATAN – Local teen Dylan Pond recently joined a select few in history to have earned the Civil Air Patrol’s General Carl A. Spaatz Award.

The award is the highest cadet honor in the Civil Air Patrol and is on average achieved by only about .5 percent of all cadets nationwide, with only about 2,200 cadets having earned it since it was conceived in 1964, said CAP Lt. Col. Michael Girardi, Virginia Wing assistant chief of staff and Dylan’s former commanding officer in the Southside Composite Squadron.

Girardi said he has been with Civil Air

Patrol 42 years and in the last 16 years that he has worked with Southside, Pond was the fifth cadet to achieve the rank, which is itself a rarity.

“It is rare for any squadron to have that many. Many times you will have a squadron that won’t have a Spaatz cadet for 20 years and some have never had one,” he said.

When Pond of Powhatan joined in December 2013 at age 12, he really didn’t know much about Civil Air Patrol, which is the nonprofit corporation that serves as the official civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. His mother, Sharon Pond, heard about it at a homeschool convention and passed on the information. He see AWARD, pg. 8

POWHATAN – A financing package for capital improvement projects was recently back in front of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors, but this time the amount they are considering had dropped significantly from $23.9 million to $9.4 million.

During a workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 16 the board heard an updated presentation from Kyle A. Laux, senior vice president of Davenport & Company LLC, the county’s investment firm.

In September, Laux had presented different ways the board might consider financing up to 12 projects on its capital improvement plan (CIP). The board said then that it would not finance all 12 projects for a price tag of $23.9 million all at once and was resistant to an idea of breaking it into two phases, one of which would happen after the next election, therefore binding a future board’s action.

However, some of the board members expressed willingness to hear more details on a plan that would have involved completing only some of the projects for $9.4 million. That is the option Laux elaborated on during the Oct. 16 workshop.

While the board took no action at the workshop, Laux pointed out that the steps involved in this decision must include not only the supervisors but the Powhatan School Board and the Economic Development Authority (EDA), both of which would have to approve it at their Nov. 13 and Nov. 19 meetings, respectively. The school board has to approve it because the financing package would use Powhatan Elementary School as collateral for the loan. The EDA is a conduit issuer but its responsibility for the debt passes through to the county so this loan – just like the 2016 bonds and prior lease revenue bond issues – is an obligation of the county.

Because of these extra steps and the desire to close on the financing project in November to lock in low interest rates, the board will consider the decision at its meeting on Monday, Oct. 22, which occurs after press time. If all boards approve the fiscal year (FY) 2019 project financing, the projected date to close on the deal would be Friday, Nov. 23.

LOVE Continued from pg. 1

Courthouse Tavern Lane and Old Buckingham Road, across from the Powhatan County Courthouse. They were built by Timmy Walters of Powhatan, whose wife Michelle, a member of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce, volunteered him for the job. The land and the platform on which the letters rest is owned

by John Rothert.

The LOVE letters were such a hit the previous two years of the festival, and a combination of not being able to borrow a set for this year’s event and wanting Powhatan to have its own pushed the chamber toward building one, said Angie Cabell, executive director.

While many ideas were thrown around on how to decorate it to make it special for Powhatan, organizers ultimately decided to keep it simple, painting it red and spelling out Powhatan running vertically down the L. “We opted to just paint it red because that is kind of the universal color for love and lets each person tell their own story about why they love Powhatan,” she said. “I think if you ask 10 people ‘what do you love about Powhatan,’ you are going to get 10 different answers.”

The chamber applied for and received a $1,500 grant from the LOVEworks program, a state-wide branding initiative designed to promote travel in Virginia and strengthen awareness of the “Virginia is for Lovers” message.

The program started in 2013 and saw 16 LOVE signs built in the first year, according to the Virginia Tourism Corporation’s website. It was funded again the next year and has stayed in existence, helping fund nearly 100 signs across the state. The design of each sign is up to the locality, business, or nonprofit creating it. Some are regular signs in different designs, but others use objects that represent them, such as a winery that made a sign out of wine bottle corks. Visit www.virginia.org/love to see the LOVE letters installed statewide.

Michelle Walters said she and her husband were excited to be part of such a big project that gives back to the community. She works in the wedding industry and knows there are brides who plot out all the LOVE sign locations in the state and take trips with their fiancés to be photographed with all of them.

“This is another way to promote tourism through Powhatan that brings people to come eat at the restaurants or find all the other small businesses in Powhatan,” she said.

If a couple, family or individual were to take photos with multiple signs, it might be hard to remember where each picture was taken, Timmy Walters said.

That won’t happen with Powhatan displayed big and bold on this sign.

“People take photographs of different things, but at least they know when they pull out that photograph 15 or 20 years down the road, they know it was Powhatan,” he said.

Michelle Walters pointed out that the sign is for the community and took members of the community to make it happen. Her husband built the letters in their garage this summer, but since they are more than 8 feet tall, there wasn’t enough space to paint there. Blue and Grey Storage gave them a discounted rate to come use one of its units for painting.

Roxanne Salerno, the county’s economic development program manager, acted as a liaison with the county to make sure the art installation didn’t violate county code. Salerno said she sees the LOVE letters as a good opportunity for both tourism to bring people into the county but also something local residents can enjoy and show their Powhatan pride. She pointed to its successful debut at the wine festival and reports that people continue to come and take photos with it daily.

“In my mind, I wouldn’t want it to go anywhere. I hope it stays here for a long time,” she said.

Cabell said she watches daily from the chamber office across the street as people take photos with the sign. She also likes the stories she has been hearing, such as a couple getting married at Fairview Farm who came to the clerk’s office a week before the wedding to get their marriage license after being unable to get it in Chesterfield. They saw the LOVE letters, which were installed that day, took photos with the sign, and then decided to stick around and eat at a local restaurant.

Of special note, even as the interview for this story was wrapping up in front of the LOVE letters, a family came across the street to take their photo with it.

“That’s what it’s here for,” Michelle Walters said with a smile.

Tropical storm leaves thousands in the dark News Editor

POWHATAN – Thousands without power for days and damaged roads due to wind and water were the main impact that Tropical Storm Michael had on Powhatan County when it blew through the county on Oct. 11.

While some houses and vehicles in Powhatan experienced damage from falling trees and limbs, the most widespread problem related to power loss. In Powhatan, Dominion Energy reported 5,700 customers affected by the storm and Southside Electric Cooperative had 6,301 without power at the peak of the outages, according to spokespeople for the two companies.

Additionally, two state-maintained roads had significant damage that had to be repaired. Rocky Ford Road over Rocky Ford Creek and Petersburg Road over Butterwood Creek both received significant damaged and required extensive repairs, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Rocky Ford Road has since been repaired and re-opened, but Petersburg Road is likely to be several more weeks.

Dominion Energy had about 600,000 customers impacted across its service area in Virginia and North Carolina, making it the sixth largest outage in the company’s history, according to spokesperson Daisy Pridgen.

Crews working around the clock had all but 1,000 customers’ power restored by Tuesday, Oct. 16, and none of those were in Powhatan, she said. That was majorly down to having 6,000 personnel working after the storm, including Dominion employees and line crews and also support from utility companies in surrounding states who also belong to the Southeastern Electric Exchange, she said.

With wind gusts up to 50 mph,

Linemen work to repair a Dominion Energy pole in the wake of Tropical Storm Michael, which the company called the sixth largest outage in the company’s history.

Pridgen said the outages were all caused by wind damage leading to downed power lines and trees and limbs falling on power lines, which all had to be cleared and repaired by crews.

“They were reporting downed trees and limbs on power lines.

There were broken poles and cross arms. There was wire down. So, it was a pretty significant storm that caused pretty significant damage to our system,” she said.

In terms of some customers being out in Powhatan County for several days, Pridgen said the company starts with higher density areas first to restore power to the most people possible and keeps working at it, with rural customers sometimes among the last to get it back.

By Wednesday, Oct. 17, Southside Electric Cooperative had gone from 6,301 customers without power in Powhatan County to three, said Ron White, vice president for member and public relations. Southside as a whole had 40,000 outages caused by the storm, which equates to about 75 percent of its member-

ship.

In terms of outages, Tropical Storm Michael hit Southside harder than Hurricane Isabel in 2003, according to Fred Davis, director of operations for Southside. The cooperative did not have any source outages, but it had about 40 circuit outages that had to be restored in addition to at least 120 broken poles and downed power lines.

Southside workers repairing the damage to the storm have been faced with many challenging conditions, including downed trees, trees on power lines, roads and bridges washed out, and roads closed, White said.

“As an electric cooperative, our members are always first. We have been working around the clock since the impact of the storm and our No. 1 priority is to get their lights back on,” White said. “A lot of these linemen, they are going out into the night. They are working extremely long hours. They are leaving their families at home, and a lot of them, their families don’t have power.”

Powhatan residents who left comments on the Powhatan Today’s Facebook page shared that they were without power anywhere from a few hours to almost a week. Some said they were operating off of generators, while other comments demonstrated worry about the cost of the loss of now spoiled cold foods with the prolonged outages. Several mentioned trees falling across their homes or cars or having to be cleared because they were blocking driveways or roads.

Regarding roads, the two statemaintained roads in Powhatan that suffered significant damage are both located over creeks and saw water coming through at such a rate that the drainage couldn’t handle it and the water came up and over, according to Bob Spieldenner, spokesperson for VDOT. Both roads had re-

HVAC system ($1.284 million); constructing a new convenience center in the east end of the county ($1.75 million); Village Building sports fields upgrades ($500,000); expanding and paving a gravel lot on Marion Harland Lane to accommodate more courthouse parking ($400,000); athletic field improvements to the lighting ($758,000); ERP financial management system ($1.5 million), and $263,000 in contingency funds.

The package 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.

The now deferred items that are no longer being discussed as part of the financing package include Pocahontas and Powhatan Elementary schools maintenance, although not using energy performance contracting ($3.891 million); replacing Pocahontas Middle School’s HVAC system ($1.355 million); Fighting Creek Park Phase 3 and land expansion ($5 million); 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); and additional ERP networking funding ($200,000).

Voorhees had previously pointed out that all of the projects on the list had been identified by this board of supervisors with community input and that many have been recognized needs for several years but there wasn’t funding for them or a funding plan.

Before the Oct. 16 presentation started, Voorhees explained that he takes those projects, prioritizes them and presents them and the available financing resources to the supervisors. Then the board has to decide its appetite for pay-as-you-go, or cash, funding and debt funding.

He pointed out the county does have capacity of up to about $13 million over its planning horizon to take on more debt

without impacting the tax rate. However, the Oct. 16 discussion only addressed up to $9.4 million in projects.

Debt capacity At the beginning of his presentation, Laux told the board three main goals were implemented in designing this updated financing package: no binding of a future board of supervisors; no need for recurring annual revenues to repay new debt service, and the project would allow the county’s debt service vs. expenditure policy level to continue to trend down to the 12 percent desired level as soon as possible.

The financing option that Laux focused on in his presentation would involve borrowing $9.4 million in FY 2019 and having a 16-year financing term. The county would have a one-time funding need in FY 2020 of $550,121 but would not need a tax rate increase.

The revised project financing is based on a 4.01 percent interest rate, which is lower than the 4.5 percent rate in the September presentation. In between meetings, Davenport competitively bid out the financing for the $9.4 million and got nice results back, Laux said. BB&T offered the county a rate of 3.96 percent with a 1 percent prepayment penalty in the first eight years and no penalty in years nine to 16. Sterling Bank offered a rate of 3.919 percent with no call in the first four years,

cently been repaired. Rocky Ford Road was repaired and finished by Oct. 16, but Petersburg Road is likely to take several weeks, he said. The pipes were washed away but were still visi-

a 1 percent prepayment penalty in years five to eight, and no penalty in years nine to 16. Both of the banks were willing to lock in that rate until Nov. 23.

Those lower interest rates mean the county would spend $500,000 to $600,000 less in debt service, Laux said.

One of the big discussions that comes up any time financing is involved revolves 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 ratio approach a maximum rate of 15 percent with the understanding that they would 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.

If the county moved forward with the $9.4 million financing project, the county’s rate would drop below the optimum 12 percent in FY 2022-2023.

Voorhees reiterated that the school board has to vote on the financing because one of its schools is being used as collateral. But about half of the projects

The supervisors did not engage in much discussion on the projects and their positions on the financing package.

Larry Nordvig, who represents District 2, hinted at the most concerns with the project, referencing campaign promises by other board members to not raise taxes and their commitment to get the county’s debt service vs. expenditures ratio back below 12 percent as soon as possible.

He asked if there was a reason the county had to bundle these projects. He said the board set priorities at the end of 2017 for Powhatan-friendly commercial growth, broadband and quality of life. “Why aren’t we looking at a list that matches up with our priorities and then looking at what we can afford and going from No. 1 to No. 2 to No. 3 until we run out of money? I don’t understand this approach of bundling things that are not a priority stated by this board with things that are,� Nordvig said, adding he wants to look the projects over in more detail.

Bill Melton, District 4, emphasized the financing involves no tax increase and that the projects had been winnowed down from $23.9 million. Whether the projects on the list are needs or wants could be debatable depending on the person you speak to. Some board members might bring suggestions to the next meeting of different priorities to be financed that still fall under the $9.4 million suggested borrowing, he said, and added he will be listening to citizens for feedback.

David Williams, District 1, pointed out that the board’s 2016 bond project originally started with $70 million in suggested projects but the supervisors and school board members worked together to narrow it down. The board has similarly brought this project down from $23.9 million down to $9.4 million.

He pointed out the economy is an uncertain thing and all of the decisions they are making are based on assumptions and models. He cautioned the supervisors to be cognizant of those facts. He also said that if the performance contracting is approved, the county needs to make sure the savings are being tracked and fully realized.

locations because of the topography around them. When the area sees extreme rains from storms, it can cause washouts like this,� Spieldenner said.

He added that the Petersburg Road pipes are fortunately in good condition and can be reused in the repair.

Supervisors discuss future uses of Skaggs Road building

By Laura McFarland

sented was to allocate use of part of the building to the Free Clinic of Powhatan, which currently uses space in the social services building. Because of the space the clinic would need, the only county department that could also fit in that space is the department of elections, but it would not be a good fit because of its parking and access needs.

Based on the survey, the clinic would need 5,753 square feet, while the IT department needs 3,000 square feet and public works 2,000 square feet, Carter said.

Connie Moslow, executive director of the clinic, had spoken during the public comment period advocating letting the Free Clinic of Powhatan relocate there, talking about how the nonprofit serves the community but is stifled in what it can do because of space limitations.

These uses are being considered because the school board has expressed its wish to repurpose the now vacant Pocahontas Middle School and use part of the space for the school administration office, as well as other possible uses. With that move, the Skaggs Road location would be vacant and an opportunity was presented to make some changes.

County administrator Ted Voorhees pointed out that staff wasn’t asking for final direction

News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors is seriously looking at two options for how to use the building on Skaggs Road currently housing the school division administration once that function is moved to the repurposed Pocahontas Middle School.

During the board’s workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 16, Ramona Carter, director of public works, gave an update on options they might consider for the building, located at 2320 Skaggs Road.

Given the size of the building and the needs of the county, Carter offered two likely possibilities and asked the supervisors to authorize going forward on working out more definitive cost estimates for the renovations required for each purpose.

One possibility looks at using the building to house both the county’s IT and public works departments. Public works is currently housed in leased space in the Village area, and the board has said for awhile that they want to get all departments into county-owned buildings. Carter also pointed out that the IT department has outgrown its current space in the county administration building and needs more room.

The second option Carter pre-

during the Oct. 16 meeting. They wanted to bring what information had been found so far and ask for additional input and direction from the board.

“This does fall into one of those cases of there are multiple scenarios and probably more than one of them might work, but we want the one that is going to be meeting the best interests of the community, the most beneficial we can come up with,” he said.

In trying to figure out how to best use the space, the Skaggs Road building was first evaluated. Then surveys were sent out to

all county departments to evaluate the space they have now and how much they will need 10 years down the road, Carter said.

Wiley and Wilson, an engineering firm, evaluated those numbers and developed six scenarios that might work for the Skaggs Road location, which is 7,655 square feet, Carter said.

She and Voorhees looked at those scenarios and narrowed them down to the two options she presented. The clinic was the best fit for use of the entire space, but it would also be the most costly option due to the water and sewer needs for the examination rooms. IT and public works moving in wouldn’t need as much work because they do not deal directly with the public as much.

While speaking to the board earlier, Moslow had said the clinic’s board of directors was aware there would be additional plumbing costs incurred to make it suitable for their use, and they would find a way to pay for them. She mentioned finding people who would partner with them on assuming financial responsibility in making the interior of the building suitable for the clinic.

She talked about the location of the building being good for the clinic since it is within walking distance of other human services in the Village and transpor-

tation is often an issue for clients.

The Free Clinic of Powhatan could actually make use of the entire building by itself, but the nonprofit wants to share the space with a county department in order to minimize operating expenses such as water and power, Carter said.

Although the board wants public works out of leased space, the department should stay in the Village, where much of its work is done, Voorhees said. Another consideration is that IT is completely out of space and he has security concerns when they literally need to have equipment in the hallway because there is no more space in their offices. He acknowledged the competing priority of the free clinic’s needs but said it would mean the county would still have to solve the issues faced by the two county departments.

David Williams, who represents District 1, said that even if the board decides not to let the clinic move into the Skaggs Road building, he wants the county to help it come up with a place because of the valuable service it provides.

The board then gave Carter approval to move forward with the cost estimates for the two scenarios.

ing about 10 or 15 feet away on the road and the water was coming over the road in addition to everything going through the washout area and was up to my ankles. There was a ton of water coming through there,” he said.

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors briefly discussed the neighbor’s plight at its workshop on Tuesday, Oct. 16. County administrator Ted Voorhees and District 2 representative Larry Nordvig shared some of the details of the situation with the board.

Voorhees pointed out that the county has no legal obligation because it is a private road and setting a precedent by lending aid has to be considered, but the county is trying to help the neighbors find some kind of assistance.

“Our hearts go out to these residents for this second whammy when they did their share of taking care of their problem.

Who would have (thought) they would have been attacked by the same problem twice within such a short period of time,” he said.

Nordvig emphasized the size of the washouts, which he called ravines.

He pointed out the conundrum of the road being shared private property but said there are agencies that frequently step in after a storm like this. He suggested a social media or crowd funding effort to the group to give neighbors an opportunity to step up and help them.

Going down the organization rabbit hole

Stunned and saddened

By Laura McFarland

News Editor

ost people have probably heard the expression not to bite off more than you can chew.

For me, it’s usually about time. Many people ask you to do something or be somewhere and you find yourself agreeing to do too many things for the actual amount of time you have in your day. We say yes to too many commitments and a few possible outcomes usually result – becoming stressed and overworked, not doing everything at the level you normally like to achieve, or finding you are an excellent multitasker and can literally juggle 20 things at once like a boss. Personally, it’s never been the last one for me.

This time, though, the instrument of my destruction was success that led to overzealousness. A few weeks ago, I wrote a quite positive and upbeat column about the joy of big reveals as I took on and finished certain projects around my house. Looking back at it now, I seem so young and idealistic.

The problem started with a closet – well, two of them actually, but we’ll start with one. After the award-winning success of a new shower curtain, a more organized pantry and a few more organized bookshelves, I had my eye on the big prize: the spare bedroom closet that holds crafts for a variety of different hobbies, Christmas decorations, a few special clothes, and a variety of boxes whose contents were a mystery.

Many of these boxes had not been opened in years and were filled with miscellaneous paperwork, photographs, mementoes from

years gone by, and other things I don’t use but still can’t seem to throw out.

After stating my intention to turn this closet into a designated craft closet, the friend who helped me with a few of my previous projects had very simple advice: Start taking out and going through boxes one by one and work up to being able to organize it as I wish. Seems simple, right?

Yeah, that isn’t what I did. First I decided that the luggage that is haphazardly piled at the top of shelves in my main closet would be better served under my raised bed, so that a more organized system could be implemented at the top of the closet.

That, of course, led to pulling out all the boxes of stuff under the bed and going through them. Luckily, some of it could be trashed or donated, but I can do better and will be revisiting those boxes, which are now at the top of my main closet.

As I was going through those boxes, I couldn’t quiet the voice in my head that kept making me think of the second bedroom closet. Remember that scene in the old Disney version of “Sleeping Beauty” where the main character seems drawn to the spinning wheel even though we all know if she pricks her finger it will spell her doom? It was like that, but with a closet.

Before I knew it, every single box, stack of scrapbook paper, plastic organization system, and random item had been pulled out. Stepping over the debris of my past, I triumphantly hauled the former bookcase that will now hold (some of) my craft supplies into the closet and stood back to enjoy the view. It was magnificent – a blank slate just waiting for me to organize the heck out of the tools of some of my favorite pas-

times.

The euphoria lasted about 90 seconds, after which I turned from this masterpiece in the making to the sight of Oscar the Grouch’s playground. (I feel like these pop culture references are showing my age.)

Suddenly, I was so paralyzed that I knew what a deer in headlights might feel like (or maybe deer are just on the brain since one decided to mosey across Route 60 in front of me when I was driving home from the Oct. 16 board of supervisors meeting. Seriously, it’s that time of year, so be careful).

So there I was standing in front of my blank slate of a closet and the catastrophe I had made of the rest of the house because everything seemed to multiply after it was pulled out of my closet. I feel like my closet must be part TARDIS – bigger on the inside (last pop culture reference, I promise).

Recovery has been slow since I resolved, albeit belatedly, to do this right and keep going through everything instead of just jamming it into somewhere new. All of the organization articles and websites I looked at have what I did near the top of their lists of things not to do, especially as people rarely have the energy to actually follow through all in one go. If I read “Rome wasn’t built in a day” one more time I might scream.

Still, as those articles pointed out, perfection isn’t my goal, functionality is. That is supposed to be my measure of success.

So, just like life, my house is a work in progress, and I am figuring it out as I go along.

While most of us sat safely in our homes when the remnants of Hurricane Michael ripped through our area last week, a few brave public servants did not have that luxury.

Some of us lost power for a few hours, while others escaped the episode of heavy rain, winds and tornados largely unscathed.

Most of us were concentrating on constant news updates about tornado and flood watches, keeping us alert to the danger that could arise.

And just when the winds and rain were at their height, a firetruck rolled out of Station 6 responding to a two-vehicle accident on Interstate 295 just north of Pole Green Road in Hanover County. The men on that truck were not deterred by the torrential downpours, high winds or threats of tornados. They departed the firehouse on a familiar mission, helping and assisting people in need.

No one knew or imagined that, for one of those firefighters, it was the last time he would roll out of that firehouse on U.S. 301.

It’s easy for those of us who don’t risk our lives in that type of service to take their dedication and bravery for granted, but, on see STUNNED, pg. 8

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Spanberger is a public servant Dear Editor: After fighting overseas against terrorists, one of our best public servants has returned home to Virginia to protect our people, our state, our country, and our earth.

Former Central Intelligence Agency operative Abigail Spanberger has come home to continue her life of public service, locally and nationally, from starting her own daughter’s Girl Scout Troop to running for Congress to work for all Virginia families.

Spanberger will fight for common-sense gun safety laws; preservation of Social Security and Medicare; access to affordable healthcare for all, especially those with pre-existing conditions; improved public education, including job training and apprenticeships; and the protection of our environment.

We need new voices in the House. Please, please vote for Abigail Spanberger November 6!

Brat doesn’t act for citizens Dear Editor, There is a misconception that our 7th District Congressman, Dave Brat, truly represents his constituents. To know the real Dave Brat one must look at his community involvement, his campaign finances and especially his voting record to learn to whom he is truly beholding.

It has been nearly 1 ½ years since Rep. Brat has held an open town hall. After his comment that “The women are in my grill no matter where I go,” he has avoided any free venue to interact with all members of his constituency – of course one can always pay to hear him at one of his fundraisers. In an August 15th Washington Post interview with Randolph-Macon political science professor Lauren Bell, she stated, “7th District voters made it clear in 2014 that they want a member of Congress who is attentive to their

interests, and to get it, they were willing to ‘sacrifice’ status (that is, Cantor was almost certain to be the next speaker of the House) for real representation.” Dave Brat wants your vote but is unwilling to listen to your needs.

To date Dave Brat has raised $1,319,824.67 for his campaign, 47.9 percent of which came from out-of-district donors. Small donations of less than $200 account for only 17.32 percent. His top donors include leadership PAC’s, $98,185; real estate industry, $76,069; Republican/ conservative groups, $67,020; securities and investment industry, $49,850, and insurance industry, $19,950 (opensercrets.org).

While he claims to be a “fiscal conservative,” Dave Brat voted for a tax bill that, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, “tax cuts in the bill are tilted dramatically in favor of the richest Virginia residents while the tax increases fall more heavily on lower-income Virginia families.” While these tax cuts may have provided a small boost to incomes, all the experts agree that it is a short-term benefit and the cost of up to $1.5 trillion will be borne in the years to come by lower- and middle-class Virginians.

In his four years in Congress, Rep. Brat was the primary sponsor of only one bill that was enacted: HR 2693: To designate the arboretum at the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond as the “Phyllis E. Galanti Arboretum.” He has been “co-sponsor” of a multitude of bills, merely adding his name to dozens of others in most cases.

A summary of his votes on major issues affecting our nation's security, our community’s health and our internet accessibility include: (votesmart.org, congress.gov and govinfo.gov) HR 6157 - Department of Defense and Labor, HHS, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 - Synopsis: Vote to adopt a conference report that appropriates for fiscal year 2019 a total of $670 billion to the Department of Defense. - Voted NAY S 139 - FISA Amendments Reauthorization Act of 2017 - Synopsis: A bill for six-year extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) - Voted NAY

a night like this, their devotion is hard to overlook.

The conditions were horrendous as the truck arrived, lights activated with the four men aboard focused on what they do best: save lives.

In an instant, the lives of those four Hanover Fire/EMS men changed as a tractor-trailer slammed into the back of the parked truck.

Now, I suppose we’ve become accustomed to hearing death tolls associated with these types of storms, but when one of those fatalities hits so close to home it makes us reflect on the sacrifice that a few make regularly to keep our communities safe.

The loss of Bradford “Brad� Clark leaves a community in shock, a county that finds it hard to resume normal activities with such a tragic void so fresh in their collective memories.

The impact on this community was not lost on top state officials including the Governor, as they met with firefighters and their families the week of the accident at Station 6.

It’s also recognized by

the hundreds of people whose lives were touched

by Lt. Clark, a military veteran whose friends describe as a “man’s man.�

His loss reminds a community of the selfless sacrifice these public servants make every day of their lives, thinking little of all the things that could go wrong, and concentrating on how they can make someone else’s life safer or more secure.

When newscasters continue to update the death toll associated with Hurricane Michael, those numbers equate to the pain of loss for Hanoverians.

As the county prepared to memorialize and say its final goodbyes and thank yous to Brad Clark, the condolences of a community were extended with a sense of sincerity and true compassion.

To his family and friends who take solace in the fact that Clark left this earth doing something that was dear to his heart, helping others, the coming days will be tough.

Two of the three other firefighters injured in that accident remain in serious condition with significant injuries. The thoughts and prayers of a community are now focused on their recovery and rehabilita-

tion, and the families whose lives have been changed.

Being well-acquainted with the Hanover way of doing things, I believe this community will supply the support, love and compassion necessary to make those recoveries full, and empower these families to deal with the unbelievable challenges that lie ahead.

The heartbreak of this catastrophe cut deep into the soul of a community, and, at times like these, that strength and commitment of a county is the tie that binds.

But, for now, it’s time for a county to mourn and remember the loss of Brad Clark, and support the families affected by this terrible tragedy. It’s a time when thoughts and prayers should be directed toward the loved ones of those who lost the most.

It’s also important to note that once the scene cleared, Clark’s colleagues returned to doing what they do 365 days a year, responding to calls and emergencies of their neighbors and saving lives.

And that might be the greatest and most appropriate tribute to Lt. Brad Clark. Somehow, I think that’s the way he would have wanted it.

Powhatan’s Jacob Taylor finds room outside of the Monticello defense and scores one of his four touchdowns during the Indians’ 53-21 win over the Mustangs on Oct. 19.

Taylor scores four TDs in Indians 53-21 win

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

T

he atmosphere at Powhatan High School was already raucous in a full stadium for Homecoming as the kickoff flew in the air toward the awaiting Monticello kick returner.

A couple minutes later, it got even louder.

On the first play from scrimmage on Oct. 19, Monticello fumbled the ball and

the Indians recovered deep in Mustangs territory.

Two plays later, Powhatan’s Jacob Taylor rumbled for 25 yards to score the first of his four touchdowns on the night in the Indians’ 53-21 win over the visiting Mustangs.

“We played well,” Powhatan head coach Jim Woodson said. “We had some rough situations early in the game. But, we smoothed things out and focused on football and things that we do. They got to us a little bit, mentally. But, we got

them straightened out. I thought we executed in all three phases of the game.

They deserved this one. They worked hard in the offseason and they deserve a win like this.”

After Taylor scored, Monticello responded with a long drive, which featured a fourth down conversion and passes from Mustangs quarterback Malachi Fields to Trenton Johnson, Tony Frazier and Phillip Estes to move the chains.

Monticello avoided disaster twice on the drive as they fumbled the ball on two

occasions, but were able to recover both.

Monticello drove into the red zone and on third down, Fields plunged into the end zone from 1-yard out to tie the game 7-7.

From there on, however, it was all Powhatan.

The Indians running game found space and gaps in the Mustangs defense for chunks of yardage at a time.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Trevor Parker had 244 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the 57-6 win over Quantico on Oct. 19.

It’s not often that a high school football team plays two games in five days, but that was the challenge facing Blessed Sacrament Huguenot on Oct. 15 and Oct. 19.

After their game against Chincoteague was rescheduled from to Oct. 15 due to activity from Hurricane Michael, the Knights entered a week during which they would take to the gridiron twice.

However, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot managed to pass the test with flying colors.

After cruising past Chincoteague 567, the Knights built on their momentum by steamrolling Quantico 57-6.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot took the lead in a flash. On just the second play of the game, sophomore Trevor Parker took it to the house from 67-yards out for the game’s opening score. A failed two-point attempt kept the Knights’ lead at 6-0.

After having trouble handling the ensuing kickoff, Quantico started their first offensive series at their own 8-yard line.

The shaky start continued when the Warriors fumbled on third down, and the ball was recovered by the Knights at the Quantico 9-yard line.

It was another two-play drive for Blessed Sacrament Hugenot, as Parker took it in from 5 yards out for his second touchdown of the game.

Not only did this season’s team meet those expectations, they far, far exceeded them.

It’s the first time in school history that the volleyball team has put together an undefeated season.

“I don’t have any words,” head coach Dawn Monson said. “It was something I never dreamt would happen this season.

They were just a bunch of girls who loved volleyball.”

The team won its semifinal match in four sets before taking down Lunenburg in the final.

“It was back and forth,” Monson said of the semifinal match before the Lunenburg game.

Monson said that the team was comprised of players who just wanted to keep on practicing and perfecting their craft.

“They would beg me for practice,” she said.

“They really couldn’t get enough volleyball. Even after we won the championship, they stayed around and practiced some more.”

Powhatan Middle School’s volleyball team completed its undefeated season on Oct. 20 in the Southside Middle School Championship. Back row (L to R): Brittany Webb, Sarah Seaman, Coach Dawn Monson, Ella Pillsbury, Faith Richardson, Sophie Payne, Leah Bellamy, Samantha Flippo, Delaney Murphy, Hunter King, Colby Wright, Natalie Hintz, Noel Rhoden, Olivia Moss, Aubrey Morgan, Gracie Hayden, Coach Audrey Cabezas; Front row: Sydney Wade, Carley Rehme, Taylor Fitzsimmons.

missing a few pieces from the 2017 championship team and Monson said she wasn’t sure coming into this season of how those holes would be filled.

But, some hard-working athletes over the summer changed that.

“I had three girls who worked really hard over the summer,” Monson said. “They really improved their game. Two of them were managers last year and one hadn’t played that much last year. She worked really hard in camp. I had a girl who was new to the team this year who was in a

camp every week, just about. She ended up being a key player for us as well.”

In addition to the hard work over the summer, the players who remained on the team and had the experience from winning the title also paid dividends.

“Three girls came back this year,” Monson said.

“Their experience and leadership with winning definitely helped.”

Overall, this season was a dominant one for the Indians, despite some slow starts to some games.

“They would be like ‘ok, we’ll start playing

now,’ ” Monson said about the team’s tendency to start slow. “Then, they’d turn it around and win.”

Monson said that the team only lost six sets all year.

“That’s really unbelievable,” she said. “They are just really great athletes and thrive on competition and winning.”

The Indians also won a tournament in Goochland earlier in October.

Monson said that the team didn’t have any standout player, but rather players who would step up at different times during the year.

“On different days, dif-

ferent girls shined,” she said. “There wasn’t one player who stood out the whole season. If one girl was having a bad day, another would step up and fill in and we’d rally around her.”

Monson believes that the team’s success showcases the volleyball talent in the county.

“Right now, volleyball in Powhatan is very good,” she said. “The coaches in the high school are very good and we work together. The bottom line is that they just enjoy playing volleyball.

It’s also a new sport to a lot of these girls.”

INDIANS

the long completion, Taylor scored again from a yard out to make it 19-7 after the two-point conversion failed.

After another threeand-out from the Monticello offense, Powhatan chewed up more yards on the ground, running it on all eight plays of the drive, including a 15-yard run from Moss on fourth-andone.

Taylor converted for the fourth time in the game, this one from 5-yards out, to boost the Indians lead to 25-7.

He rushed 23 times for 187 yards and the four scores.

“He’s having a great year,” Woodson said.

“He’s a tough little bowling ball. He runs hard.

He’s starting to have a nose for that end zone, which is what I like. He breaks some tackles and just tries to get into that end zone.”

In the second half, the

Moss-to-Carroll connection proved fruitful once again, as the two connected for a 25-yard touchdown pass to make it 327.

A 20-yard pass from Moss to Carroll set up the Indians next touchdown, scored by Isaac Trent from the one, to make it a 39-7 lead for Powhatan.

Trent accumulated 95 rushing yards in the game.

Monticello took advantage in the third quarter of a muffed punt by the Indians, which kept their drive alive.

Two plays following the recovery, Fields was about to be sacked and threw the ball up for grabs.

Monticello’s Devonta Hargrove came back to the ball, caught it, turned up field and scored on a 45-yard touchdown pass, which made it 3914.

Powhatan added another score when Xavier Trotman ran 20 yards for

a touchdown. He had 92 rushing yards.

Fields scored from 1-yard out on the next Monticello drive, which made it 46-21.

Powhatan added another score from Trotman from 11-yards out, to bring it to the final of 53-21.

All told, the Indians racked up 396 rushing yards.

“You have to recognize the offensive line for opening up those holes,” Woodson said. “They provided the openings.”

The lopsided game allowed the Indians to get backups in the game, such as Trotman and different quarterbacks like Hans Rehme and Lance Fleming.

“I’m sorry that Monticello is in a bad situation,” Woodson said. “But, it was very nice to get everyone in the game. Everyone felt like they were a part of it.

It was nice. The backups work just as hard as the starters. It’s very pleasing to the coaching staff to get them in the game and reward them for their hard work.”

The Indians travel to Albemarle for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Oct. 26 for its penultimate game of the season.

“They’re very athletic, as always,” Woodson said.

“We’ll start breaking down the film. We’ll enjoy this one for about an hour or two and then the film will come in and we’ll get to work. That’s fun, we enjoy it. That’s what we like doing, trying to get into the chess game and the pieces ready to stop what they’re doing and what we can do against their defense. It’s a lot of fun.”

game with a 57-yard run and capped off the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run, which made it 13-7 after the extra point was no good.

On Monticello’s ensuing drive, the Indians defense got after Fields early and often, sacking him for a 10-yard loss, and then forcing a fumble on another sack that pushed the Mustangs back even further.

The Indians defense held the Mustangs offense soundly in check during the game. Monticello only managed 141 total yards in the game, which included minus-3 yards rushing.

Powhatan got its passing game going on its third drive, as Jacob Moss found Jaysun Carroll for a 36-yard completion that set the Indians up on the doorstep of the end zone once again.

Hicks wins it on penalty strokes on Senior Night Sports Editor

P

owhatan senior field hockey player Katlyn Hicks could not have chosen a better way to finish her last regular season game at Powhatan High School.

Hicks stepped up for a penalty shot and needed to score to lift the Indians to a Senior Night win.

Hicks took a shot and the Albemarle goalie dove and appeared to stop it, but the ball found its way under the keeper and was free on the goal-side of the goalie.

She took advantage, getting past the Patriots keeper and putting the ball in the net for a 4-3 penalty strokes win over Albemarle.

“Having a good, supportive team behind me gave me confidence,” Hicks said. “I had pressure on me, but as a senior, I felt like I had to take that on and I was able to push through.”

The heroics of the senior on Senior Night had been set up by a freshman—specifically, goalie Peyton Tuttle.

Through five rounds of penalty strokes, the Indians and Patriots were still deadlocked at 3-3.

In the sixth round, prior to Hicks taking her shot, Tuttle faced down an Albemarle attacker and was able to repel the shot with authority. She faced several shots from the Patriots, but was able to stop them

attempt when senior Kemper Roudabush found senior Noah Vass in the end zone, bringing their lead to 14-0.

After a punt by the Warriors, it took just four plays for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot to strike again.

A 32-yard run by senior Michael Kemp took the Knights down to the Quantico 20-yard line, and Parker scored yet again from 18 yards out.

A successful two-point attempt brought the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot lead to 22-0.

Quick starts in the games against both Chincoteague and Quantico were crucial for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot to be able to handle the toll of both games.

“We got to play a lot of our younger kids, which helps give the older guys rest,” Blessed Sacrament head coach Shawn Pickett said. “I thought we prepared the kids really well by keeping them healthy on Tuesday and Wednesday after playing Monday night.”

After a Quantico punt, the Knights’ offense embarked on another scoring drive. An eight-play march resulted in a 25-

all to give the Indians the window they needed.

“I just tried my best,” she said. “I ended up doing that. I was crawling on the ground and hoping I would block it over and over again. It was crazy.”

Tuttle gained valuable experience this season not only in the cage, but also in the shootout situation. The shootout with Albemarle was the third time the Indians had been in that situation this season and the second time in one week the game came down to penalty strokes.

Her performance was the fulfillment of a promise that Tuttle made to her coach. Tyson said that Tuttle came to her after the first shootout loss to the Mustangs and promised that she would work hard and get better.

“I’m so proud of her,” Tyson said. “She didn’t quit.”

Throughout the game, Albemarle and Powhatan were dead-even. Both teams had chances to score a goal in regulation, but were unable to do so.

One golden opportunity fell by the wayside for the Indians early in the game, as a crossing pass went in front of the Patriots goal, but no Powhatan player was home to put it in the net.

In the 36th minute, Powhatan earned a corner and sent a shot on net that went off the inside of the post and back into the field of play, where the ball was escorted out of the defensive zone by the Patriots.

Powhatan’s defense was tested as well, surviving corners in the 28th, 29th, 38th, 40th and 45th minutes of play.

In overtime, the Indians were the more aggressive team, earning a scoring chance just a minute into the period, but a shot by Danielle Bigham went wide.

The Indians had a corner awarded to them in the second and fourth minutes, but both of those chances were defended.

Powhatan had its final chance before penalty strokes in the last minute of overtime with another corner opportunity. But, that shot went wide and the teams entered penalty strokes to decide the game.

“We didn’t come out great,” coach Steph Tyson said. “At halftime, we had a pretty serious conversation. We were a totally different team in the second half. These kids have worked so hard this season. They deserve to come back and beat someone like that.”

Prior to the game, the Indians honored seniors Bigham, Hicks, Brianna Coerper, Calie Rehme, AnnaGrace Causey and Michala Benway.

“It’s amazing,” Causey said of being a senior on the team. “Every single one of one of these girls have become my sisters.

Tonight just felt like every moment from the entire season was leading up to this. It was so amazing.”

Rehme said that play-

yard scamper into the end zone by Kemp, bringing the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot lead to 28-0.

Pickett was eager to praise the dynamic duo of Parker and Kemp: “I think Trevor Parker is really starting to take over games. He’s only a sophomore, so the future’s bright for him. We also have leadership from Michael Kemp at running back, and those two feed off each other. They work with each other and the rest is history.”

The pair continued to drive the Knights’ offense for the remainder of the first half.

Kemp ripped a 53-yarder up the middle for a score, before Parker took one 22 yards down the right sideline for another touchdown.

Parker carried the ball 10 times for 244 yards for the game, while Kemp totaled 167 yards on eight carries.

A 50-0 halftime lead gave way to smooth sailing for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in the second half.

A 12-yard touchdown run by junior Chase Musselman in the third quarter rounded out the scoring for the Knights.

On Oct. 15, the Knights played in their

first game of week against Chincoteague.

Led by 217 yards rushing and a touchdown by Parker, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot rolled past the visiting Ponies 56-7.

Musselman scored two touchdowns, the first from 23 yards in the first quarter and another in the third quarter from 7-yards out.

Kemp scored two touchdowns, Roudabush had one score on the ground and one in the air to Zander Nadeau. Josh Decker also found the end zone in the rout of Chincoteague.

Pickett was pleased with the team’s two wins during the week, and looked ahead to what the team will face next: “We have a lot of momentum after this week, beating Chincoteague and then taking care of Quantico.

Now we have the big one against Roanoke Catholic, first versus second in our division. We’re going to have to really prepare the kids and work extremely hard next week. I think the kids believe, and we’re going to be ready to play.”

Blessed SacramentHuguenot will host Roanoke Catholic at 7 p.m. on Oct. 26.

ing with this team with her teammates has meant the most to her.

“Competing together is what makes it worth it in the end,” she said. “It wasn’t about the end goal.

It was about giving it our all and playing for each other.”

Bigham said that she has come a long way in her field hockey career from her freshman season, when she hadn’t even touched a field hockey stick before.

“I didn’t even know what field hockey was,” she said. “Now, here I am my senior year, a captain, beating the top team in the district. We learned from

our mistakes tonight. We had this same situation twice against Monticello and both times we didn’t pull through. We figured out how we could work better and we did it for the team.”

Tyson said that the seniors have led the way for a team that “has so much heart.”

“This is an extra-special group,” she said.

“Three of them have been with me for four years.

They’re the nicest kids.

They’re good athletes, good students and overall good people.”

The Indians faced Maggie Walker on Oct. 22 in the final game of the regular season.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING POWHATAN COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION Notice is hereby given, pursuant to § 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, that the Planning Commission of Powhatan County will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, November 7, 2018, at 7:00 PM in the Powhatan County Village Building Auditorium, 3910 Old Buckingham Road, to consider the following request.

18-09-AZ: The County of Powhatan proposes the amendment of the Powhatan County Code of Ordinances to amend the provisions of Chapter 83 (Zoning Ordinance), Article V (Transition Base Districts), Sections 83-360 through 83-364 by eliminating the Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning district and reclassifying all parcels currently zoned as R-C to another zoning district, depending upon the current use of the parcel and the location of the parcel within a platted subdivision or planned development.

As part of this request, the following changes to the Powhatan County Code of Ordinances and zoning map are proposed: 1.

Powhatan code sections 83-360 to 83-364 would be repealed and the R-C Zoning classification struck from the county code of ordinances.

2.

All parcels of real property (or portions thereof) that are currently zoned R-C that have been developed and are being used for a commercial purpose, and are not located within a platted subdivision, will be rezoned to the Commerce Center (CC) zoning district (Powhatan Code Sections 83-240 through 83-244).

3.

All parcels of real property that are currently zoned R-C and lie within a platted subdivision will be rezoned to the zoning district which comprises the largest percentage of the acreage of the parcels contained within the platted subdivision.

4.

All parcels that are currently zoned R-C that are vacant, used for residential purposes, or used for institutional purposes, and that are not located within a platted subdivision will be rezoned to the Agricultural-10 (A-10) zoning district (Powhatan Code Sections 83-160 through 83-164).

5.

For parcels of real property that are zoned A-10, R-C, and CC with proffered conditions, the portion of the property zoned R-C will be rezoned to A-10, with the zoning of the remainder of the property being unchanged.

6.

For parcels of real property that are zoned R-C, Office (O), and Residential Utility (R-U) with proffered conditions, the portion of the property zoned R-C will be rezoned to R-U (Powhatan Code Sections 83-350 through 83-354), with the zoning of the remainder of the property being unchanged.
