Melis named county’s Employee of the Year By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN –If Johnny Melis was shocked and surprised to be nominated for the 2018 Powhatan County Employee of the Year, he was doubly so when he found out last week that he had been chosen for the recognition. During a luncheon held on Wednesday, Oct. 31, Melis, the county’s utility manager, was announced as the winner of the Powhatan County Employee of the Year and Excellence in Public Service Award, chosen out of four possible nominees. Melis said he was proud to be nominated along with three other great county employees and to have won. “It is a wonderful process and I’m proud to be part of it. Everybody here works as a family. We are such a small group of co-workers that each and every one of us plays a vital role in providing the county services,” he PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND said. The goal of the award is to honor employees who County administrator Ted Voorhees, left, rechave demonstrated outstanding job and professional ognizes Johnny Melis as the 2018 Powhatan skills; performed special achievement(s), accomplished County Employee of the Year.

meritorious actions and who have provided model service to the citizens of Powhatan County on a regular basis throughout the year, said county administrator Ted Voorhees. “The Employee of the Year and Excellence in Public Service Award is a recognition program that it is given to the county employee who has best exemplified and demonstrated the values and qualities that are the hallmark of public service in Powhatan County,” he said. This was the second year that the award was announced during a luncheon held at the County Seat Restaurant as opposed to a meeting of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors. Before announcing Melis as the winner, Voorhees read descriptions of each of the four employees being recognized as to why they were nominated. In July 2017 the utility department commenced billing services within the department, a change that resulted in setup of all utility accounts, coordination with treasurer’s office, extensive training, and coordinating with meter readers, Voorhees said. Melis ensured a smooth transition and made continual improvements to the system. see COUNTY, pg. 4

News Editor

POWHATAN – State legislators recently visited the Powhatan County School Board to discuss its legislative agenda and find out what is going on at the state level that could have a local impact. During the school board’s meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 23, Del. Lee Ware, R-65, and Sen. Glen Sturtevant Jr., R-10, spoke individually with the board to share their points of view. Before Sturtevant, who arrived first, began to speak, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, shared with him some of the legislative priorities the school board has expressed in recent months. Some of the items included: restoring funding for K-12 education to pre-recession levels; addressing teacher salaries with a goal of at least reaching the national average; reducing SOL testing further to just the federally mandated minimums and allowing divisions to assess students more widely using performance-based assessment; and finding out more about a potential state mandate aimed at addressing mental health by requiring a guidance counselor-to-student ratio that would necessitate the county hiring five additional full-time counselors. Jones talked about a potential bill to license professional teachers through evaluations by teachers’

supervisors instead of external tests and support for school safety recommendations. The board also is concerned with Virginia Community Colleges proposing a $50 per credit statewide fee for dual enrollment courses that are taught within local schools by local staff, Jones said. If that were to happen, Advanced College Academy students would see their fees jump from $1,380 to more than $4,500. Sturtevant said he agreed with all see LEGISLATORS, pg. 6

POWHATAN –Political interest in Powhatan County has been high in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 6 General Election, and that has been evident in the county’s absentee voting numbers. The Powhatan County Voter Registrar’s Office has seen significantly high absentee voting since September, with numbers comparable to those found in a presidential election year, said Karen Alexander, director of elections. Out of the county’s 21,621 registered voters, 1,239 people had cast absentee ballots when it ended on Nov. 3, which is about 5.96 percent, she said. Those numbers are much higher than the 2014 congressional election, which saw only 417 people, or 2 percent, casting absentee ballots. “This traffic is unheard of for a congressional midterm. I was initially expecting a 40 to 50-percent overall turnout for this election, but now I’m expecting closer to a 70 to 75-percent turnout,” Alexander said. To put those expectations in perspective, she pointed out that Powhatan had the highest voter turnout in the state in the last presidential election with 85.93 percent of registered voters participating. “People are politically charged right now more than ever. I think voters are seeing how every vote counts, and I think Powhatan voters are just very engaged in the democratic process. They are proud of their opinions and they want them to be heard,” she said. The situation has been exciting and overwhelming for the office of elections at the same time, Alexander said. This is typically a lower turnout election, and in order to save taxpayer money, she first ordered only what

she thought would be a sufficient number of ballots. With the high number of absentee ballots being cast, she reassessed and decided to order more. “At the last minute I ordered extra ballots so we would be prepared. It has been a learning experience in our county’s new wave of voting interest in a nonpresidential race year,” she said. Alexander noted a few possible influences. Her office saw a large number of voters come in on Tuesday, Oct. 9, after Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice. The candidates for the District 7 House of Representatives race have been campaigning and advertising extra hard and really putting the election front and center, Alexander said. Another factor may be that in the last two weeks, third party groups have been mailing out applications for absentee ballots with many of the personal details of residents already filled in, cutting out the step of people having to request it themselves, she said. She has had several calls about this, as have registrars all over the state. see VOTING, pg. 3

Concert to pay tribute to local veterans

Contributed Report

The Veterans Musical Show started 27 years ago at Muddy Creek Baptist when Ruth Boatwright decided to honor all of the veterans in the neighborhood. This first show started off with some old love songs from World War II like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Sit Under the Apple Tree,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Cliffs of Dover,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each Night at Nine,â&#x20AC;? and patriotic songs. It struck a nerve with the veterans as Boatwright noticed tears were streaming down their faces. The next year, she was asked to do a similar program. This time she invited as many veterans as she knew to attend. The church was

filled with standing room only. The next year Boatwright decided to move the show to the old Powhatan High School, which she had helped save from being knocked down. She hit the jackpot! It was the school many of the veterans had attended when they received the call from Uncle Sam saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want you!â&#x20AC;? Many had left right out of high school, some never having been outside of Powhatan and most never having driven a vehicle. These were the men and women who came out to this wonderful old building, and along with these veterans came family members and old school mates to revisit

their past in this special place that held so many memories. This was the beginning of finding the talented people who could sing, play the piano, guitars, fiddles and entertain! At first no one wanted to come out of their comfort zone. Little did they know how God would use them in all the years ahead to show their talents and love to our wonderful veterans. The tradition will continue again in 2018 when the Veterans Musical Show will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 11 at Powhatan High School, 1800 Judes Ferry Road. Admission is free although donations will be accepted for the War Me-

morial Cultural Arts Center. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will feature music from the band Just Us, the Hilighters, Ted Adams, Larry Adams, Pal Goodwyn and Tommy Mann. Then there is Sisters and Friends, Cindy Goodwyn, Betsy Lewis and Donna Moyer, Lewis Brandt, Ray â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elvisâ&#x20AC;? Presley, Gene Hatcher, Reginal Batterson, Sharon Labon, Daphne Goode, Chuck DeNoon, Jennifer England, and David Grubbs. Over the years Boatwright has collected over 1,000 military pictures of the veterans, which are displayed each year in the auditorium. This year the photos will be shared in a slideshow.

for the freedoms we have enjoyed over these many years, and pray for our men and women who currently serve in harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way every day,â&#x20AC;? Boatwright said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope everyone will come out this year on this very special Veterans Day to honor these heroes who walk among us every day, and who willingly signed up to sacrifice their lives

His work ethic and positive attitude motivate the deputies he works with to work harder. Morale is high on his shift in large part because of Barnes, who always goes above and beyond the call of duty. He makes sure all aspects of the job are addressed and that no stone is left unturned. Members of the community contact the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office on a regular basis to praise Barnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; professionalism and compassion. He steps up to cover (often last minute) extra assignments on a regular basis. He is dependable and available 24 hours a day. Extra assignments can be prisoner transports, shift coverage, special events, and all manner of public service events. Barnes is extremely trustworthy, ethical, and courageous. He is fair minded and counsels others whenever needed. Barnes volunteers for all types of work and special projects. He solves problems with and without direct supervision when needed.

She inspires others to be as friendly and makes the workplace fun, even when the regulations she is tasked with enforcing (and the response to them from the public) can be stressful and contentious. Kurnos is a great public representative of the department. She is respectful and empathetic to the people with whom she interacts. When tasked with a project, she provides a complete and accurate product in a timely fashion. Kurnos has volunteered for additional duties, including co-hosting the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first employee picnic. She also takes on similar informal tasks to improve morale and comradery, such as keeping track of everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthdays in the department and planning parties for them. She spends her own time and money to get supplies and decorate the office for each season.

seven items Jones listed before giving a brief introduction to how the short session that begins in January 2019 will work. Sturtevant said he introduced a bill for the last three years to reduce SOLs to the federal mandatory minimum. However, he pointed out that the senate is seniority-based, and some of those in positions of power are the same ones who helped put the SOLs in place. “They don’t always look real fondly on my legislation to reduce the number of SOLs down to the federal mandatory minimum,” he said, adding

there is still reason to be optimistic about it happening over time. Sturtevant said he also has worked to get teacher raises each year because he is a firm believer in the importance of teachers. He advocates for raises because Virginia teachers continue to be paid below the national average.

Ware initially talked about few “big picture items” for the legislature, including a federal tax reform that will probably result in some additional revenue this year for the commonwealth. Many legislators are looking at either ways to return it to the taxpayers or spend it effectively, he said. He also mentioned the case where the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the state of South Dakota, upholding the state's sales tax on eretailers, which could be pursued in Virginia. In regard to schools, the topic that “has taken most oxygen this year is school safety,” Ware said. Several committees have been formed to review the issue and many recommendations brought forward, some of them with hefty price tags. One of them is the guidance counselor-tostudent ratio to help address mental wellness needs, and “there is a significant sentiment at the state level to move in that direction.” Valarie Ayers, District 3, said if that measure went

through, Powhatan would have to hire five additional guidance counselors, “and that’s devastating to a budget unless it is fully funded. It cannot be an unfunded mandate.” Ware agreed that if the legislature insists school safety is that important, “we need to fund our share.” Regarding broadband, Ware said it has been a matter of significant conversation and action in the legislature. He mentioned a bill last year to help streamline the process of communications towers to attract companies that can provide broadband to residents. Although a plan has not been formulated yet, Ware said he thinks part of the sales tax from e-tailers could go to help fund broadband infrastructure. Board members again made comments and asked questions related to teacher salaries and insurance cost increases without related raises. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

After Larry Nordvig, who represents District 2, read the proclamations, several people spoke to thank the couple for their many years of service.

Nordvig said he was involved in the drafting of the ordinance that structured the fire and rescue department and said Allen was extremely helpful in that process. “He has taught me much and I have had to say more than one time you were right, you told me so.

Sunflower Lady of Ballsville remembered By Laura McFarland News Editor

he first time I spoke to Georgianne Matthews, she called herself the Sunflower

Lady. She called and told me about her home in Powhatan County and how it was surrounded by sunflowers every year around August. She invited me out for a visit and promised I wouldn’t regret it. I never did. Admittedly, taking photos of a gorgeous field of sunflowers set against a backdrop of a beautiful sunny sky is never a hardship. But as I soon found out, the true source of light on that property in Ballsville was Mrs. Matthews. In her late 80s, she was a tiny woman, especially when she stood up next to me, but she had an effervescent smile that was a joy to behold and a personality to match. Sadly, the world recently lost the Sunflower Lady of

Ballsville when she passed away on Oct. 23 at the age of 87. The last time I saw her was in August, when my mother and I stopped by during one of her visits from Houston. Visiting Mrs. Matthews’ home became an annual tradition for me in August. She wanted to get the word out to let people know they could stop by to take photos and even gather a few sunflowers to take home at no charge. She did this for more than 20 years just because she wanted to give joy to others using something that gave her happiness in return. During a visit in 2017, we talked a bit again about her tradition and I asked her why she likes having them planted every year. “I just love them. It is like a breath of fresh air. I can go out there and sit on the porch and I will feel better,” she told me, and looking out at her beautiful fields, I could understand that feeling. I also asked her why she was so willing to have strang-

ers coming on her property to take photos and cut flowers to take with them. “They can have all they want. I don’t care. Why can’t I share them with people? It’s just a sunflower. If it will make them happy, let them have them,” she said. My parents visited a few

The man under the bird By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Being a multi-generational father offers a unique perspective on changing child-rearing trends, what’s in and what’s out in the world of raising and entertaining children. Often, those trends disappear as quickly as they appear, and many of us have found Dr. Spock wasn’t such a bad guy when it came to the basics of how to change a diaper or heat a bottle. I’ve also endured two completely different blocks of a child’s entertainment. When my first child was born in the 1970s, I suffered through The Smurfs, Fraggle Rock and Scooby Doo. When the second batch came along two decades later, my house was filled with shows like Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer, Barney and a disturbing group of entertainers called The Wiggles. There was very little connection between the two periods of time, and shows reflected the trends of a changing society. No longer were kids glued to televisions on Saturday morning watching cartoons and most opted for the CD versions of the popular shows. Having three kids in diapers at one time (on the second go-round), the television constantly blasted out much too familiar episodes of all my kids’ favorites. At one point, I felt like Holly Hobby was actually stalking me and I heard that voice in my sleep. And I still have a fear of reoccurring nightmares regarding a partially clothed monkey called Boots. And, through it all, my kids gravitated to the tried and true lessons learned on Sesame Street. While the Count demanded respect among all of my kids, the clear favorite was Big Bird and his zany antics and simplified explanations to complicated questions. My first child loved Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street, but the second generation of kids was Sesame Street devotees, and somehow watching one batch of kids watch a show that has so entertained my

first daughter provided a sense of consistency that confirmed —although trends and fads had changed — the well-earned lessons of surviving childhood had not. Earlier this month, the man who donned that bulky yellow costume on PBS announced his retirement. Since that first episode, Caroll Spinney was the voice of Big Bird, and celebrates 50 years of service under the beak. Spinney, an avid puppeteer since his high school days, spent thousands of shows tucked under those fluorescent feathers, and traveled around the world as Big Bird, even making an appearance with Bob Hope. Now, some of us hold an undying affection for Rocky and Bullwinkle or the Tasmanian Devil, but none of them achieved the worldwide recognition enjoyed by Spinney’s character, and none could claim that the Library of Congress had named them a Living Legend, just one of the many awards and accolades held by the bird. Life goes on and Sesame Street will fill the void, but Spinney’s personality will live on in the personality that has evolved through his years as Big Bird. Somehow, the innocence and naïveté of the oversized bird reassured us that asking questions is never bad, and sometimes the simplest of answers make the most sense. I suppose the next-born generation of kids will gaze at a completely new set of shows and entertainment characters, but, rest assured, all of them will eventually recognize one of them as an old friend and confidant. And how did the man who brought the character to life feel as he took his last turn in the costume after five decades on the set? He told a Washington Post reporter, “Playing Big Bird is one of the most joyous things of my life." And watching you was one of the biggest joys for generations of children, mine included. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

years ago during the summer and were happy to come along on a visit to Mrs. Matthews’ house when I told them about her and the sunflowers. We had a good time sitting in her living room and chatting and then going outside to take some photos in front of one of the fields. She was more mobile then and was able to make the trip, if not easily then determinedly. On that trip, my mom being who she is, asked if she could pray for Mrs. Matthews before we left. The older lady agreed, and Mom said a prayer. I will admit I didn’t even think about that again at the time, but, on every subsequent visit, Mrs. Matthews made sure to mention it. She did so again when I stopped by earlier this year when I was in the Ballsville area for an interview. It was a fun visit in which she seemed to have a desire to start matchmaking for me. She also, once again, brought up Mom, how much it meant to her that she had prayed for her and how beautiful she said the prayer

was. So, since I knew Mom was coming back again in late July for a visit, we made sure to work a visit to Mrs. Matthews into our schedule. Usually Mrs. Matthews sat in her recliner, but, on this visit, she sat next to my mom. I snapped a few photos for them both, and caught this great moment of Mrs. Matthews leaning on my mom’s arm and looking up at her with such joy on her face. I felt truly blessed to have seen that moment. But as much as I will always think of Mrs. Matthew and her joy in her sunflowers, I also will remember her telling me flat-out where her real happiness came from: her eight children. “My children have brought me so much joy. They think I am really bossy, but that’s OK,” she told me with a smile as bright as a sunflower. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Resident worries about impact of solar facility trying to locate in Powhatan Dear Editor, A North Carolina company has applied for a conditional use permit for a 1,300-acre solar facility within almost 3,000 acres in western Powhatan on Cartersville Road. The zoning of this area is A-10 (Area of county set aside to maintain the agrarian and low – density rural character of the county.). A solar facility is not able to build within this zoning, which is why they are applying for a CUP. The 2010 Powhatan Comprehensive Plan and the 2017 revision to the comprehensive plan designate this area in Powhatan County as a rural preservation area. Permitted uses are agricultural and forestry related. This solar facility would level the land and fence it with a 6 to 7-foot-high metal fence with three strands of barb wire above. There would be no wildlife, plants or animals. There are tremendous amounts of wetlands in this tract, and the water runs into the two

They denied it for the same reason that we should. It did not fit within the comprehensive plan for that area of their county.

couldn’t thank the couple enough for what they have done for the community over the years. “Y’all are truly an asset to this community, so thank you,” he said. Angie Cabell, District 3, told them that they embody what this community is all about – service and community. Sheriff Brad Nunnally said when he came to Powhatan as a new deputy, Allen and Lynne were some of the first people he met. They coached him along just as they did their men-

tees in fire and rescue. “The older we get, the more we start thinking about legacies, and if there is nothing else these two have done, they have raised an entire family of public service professionals – daughters-in-law and sons that are here in different uniforms. You don’t see that very often. They have a legacy of helping,” Nunnally said. Allen declined to speak, but Lynne thanked their children and family, whom she called their legacy.

ormally following a high school football game at Powhatan High School, Coach Jim Woodson will gather his players, chat with them regarding the game they had just played and then the players disperse to the locker room to change and head home after a long night of playing. The activities after the Nov. 1 game

against Orange were not normal, however. The student section, after chanting Woodson’s name following his 282nd career win, stormed the field to celebrate with the entire Indians football team around Woodson and coach Ernie Henderson, who also announced his retirement. Then, the photographs began as Woodson and Henderson posed with the entire team, friends and family. The Indians seniors, as it was Senior Night, grabbed their teammates and friends for one last photo after their final regular sea-

son game on their home turf. It was a night to remember, for sure, as the Indians closed out the last regular season home game for both Woodson and Henderson. Prior to the game, both Woodson and Henderson were honored through a tunnel of former players and family members. “It was very emotional,” Woodson said. “It was tough, but I’ve been blessed. I’ve had the opportunity to work with outstanding young men from Powhatan

High School and Powhatan County. I’ve been blessed to have a great coaching staff. Ernie’s been with me since the beginning. I’ve had Jason (Campbell) for 25 years. We’ve been fortunate to have a solid coaching staff who knows what they’re doing. It’s worked out very well for my career part of it.” Woodson, a 1973 graduate of Powhatan High School, has coached at the school for 40 years. He has been a JV see CEREMONY, pg. 4B

Indians roll past Hornets as Taylor scores five TDs By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan running back Jacob Taylor works his way through the Orange defense on Nov. 1. He scored five touchdowns in the 42-7 win.

After the Senior Night ceremonies and the additional ceremonies for coach Jim Woodson and Ernie Henderson, it was almost easy to forget there was a football game to be played on Nov. 1 at Powhatan High School. Luckily, the Indians did not forget that little fact and ended the regular season on a high note. Led by Jacob Taylor and his five touchdowns, along with three forced turnovers by the Indians defense and special teams, Powhatan rolled to a 42-7 win over Orange. “We did what we normally do,” coach Jim Woodson said. “The ground game is what we hang our hat on. Fortunately, the

last couple games, the passing game has been chipping in a little bit and taking some pressure off of us.” The game started with a big play for the Indians defense as the Hornets dialed up a big play to try and catch the Powhatan unit napping on the first play of the game. That did not work as the pass floated in the air and right into the arms of the leaping Andrew Worthington for an interception. While the Indians did not immediately score following the interception, with the Hornets defense forcing a three-and-out by the Indians offense, the ensuing punt bounced around the Orange 2-yard line and Powhatan’s Isaac Trent was right see INDIANS, pg 5B

Column: Thank you, Coach By Michael Schoeffel Contributing Writer

im Woodson is Powhatan High School football. And now, Jim Woodson is retiring. As many longtime Powhatan residents already know, Woodson is an institution unto himself. He’s the winningest coach in Richmond area history and a member of the Virginia High School League (VHSL) Hall of Fame. He’s reached the state championship four times, winning twice, in 1996 and 2003. He’s been the head coach at Powhatan, his alma mater, for 34 years, collecting a record of 282105-1. Through a singleminded dedication I both admire and could never fathom possessing, he’s helped the Indians become one of the most consistently successful programs in Virginia. Last Wednesday, he announced that this season will be his last. And what did he do the very next game? He went for two, in overtime, to win by a single point. Well done, coach. Well done. Because his name and the program have been synonymous for so long, it’s surreal to imagine a Powhatan football game without Woodson roaming the sideline. Woodson leaving Powhatan is akin, on a smaller scale, to Derek Jeter leaving the Yankees or Bobby Bowden leaving Florida State.

The man and the program have been intertwined since the mid-’80s (even longer than that, if you count his playing days and other coaching roles), and separating them seems to pose the risk of ripping a hole in the space-time continuum. For years, fans and former players and folks in the community have wondered, out loud and in private, when Woodson would finally call it a career. Now that the moment is actually here, it feels incredibly strange. Nothing is permanent, of course, but Woodson coaching at Powhatan somehow felt as much. So what happens now? How involved will he stay with the team? Who will step up to carry the torch for a program he’s built into one of the state’s best? All these questions will be answered in due time, and while I could sit here and speculate until the cows come home, I’ll instead leave you, dear reader, with some personal reminiscences about Woodson – the coach, and the man. I had the privilege of working with Woodson in two capacities. I was his quarterback for two seasons – 2005 and 2006 – and six years after graduating, I became the sports editor at The Powhatan Today. Thus I was tasked with reporting on my former team, and my old coach, which was an interesting dynamic, to say the least. Woodson treated me

like family, inviting me into the coaches’ office after games – for interviews, yes, but also just to hang out and shoot the bull. Don’t get it twisted, though: he cut me no slack. After one particularly tough loss, I wrote – in the lede, nonetheless – about how the team had reached “rock bottom,” or something to that effect. It was an incredibly tactless choice of words, but I was young and inexperienced and still had a lot to learn. Woodson laid into me the next time I saw him. I don’t remember exactly what he said, but it was along the lines of “these kids are trying their best and don’t deserve to be ripped to shreds in the paper.” All I heard, though, was “you are the crappiest of crappy sports writers and you will never make it in this business.” I felt awful. Looking back on that exchange, with a sense of temporal distance, I now interpret Woodson’s reaction to my admittedly idiotic statement as admirable. He was standing up for his players, and not because he was worried that my comments would negatively affect their play – and thus his win total – but because he genuinely cared about his kids. And then there were his kind words upon my departure from The Powhatan Today. When I left the job to move out of Virginia for the first time in my life, he

shook my hand and told me I had been one of the best sports writers he’d ever worked with. That made me feel slightly less awful about my dumb rock bottom comment. I don’t know if he remembers these small moments, but I do, and I think they say a lot about his character. He’s been a great coach for a very long time, but more important-

ly, he’s a genuinely good human being. That’s certainly not something that can be said about every high school football coach in America. So coach Woodson, if you’re reading this, I’d like to say thank you. You taught me a lot, including how to throw a proper spiral (flick the wrist!), a skill that led to some of the best memories of my high school

years. More enduringly, though, you’ve left a lasting impression on hundreds, perhaps thousands, of kids while becoming one of the greatest coaches in state history. A statue should be in order, but that’s a conversation for another time. At any rate, Powhatan football will not be the same without you. Enjoy retirement, coach.

Roundup: Kemp goes over 200 yards for BSH Sports Editor

The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot football team had one final tune-up prior to the Virginia Independent Athletic Association Division III playoffs. The Knights hit the road to take on a rival, Richmond Christian, on Nov. 2. The Knights took care of business and put an exclamation point on a strong regular season resume with a 46-0 win over the Warriors. “It was a good win, especially coming off the loss to Roanoke Catholic,” head coach Shawn Pickett said. Michael Kemp and Trevor Parker led the way for the Knights offense in the win. Parker rushed 15 times for 49 yards and three touchdowns in all. Parker scored the first touchdown of the night with a 7-yard score. Parker had a 6-yard run for a score in the second quarter and connected with Kemper Roudabush for a 71-yard touchdown reception. Kemp rushed 15 times for 221 yards and scored twice in the game. He exploded for a 67yard score in the second quarter and had a 13-yard touchdown run, which was the final touchdown of the game later in the same quarter. Kemp also converted a two-point conversion for the Knights.

“Michael Kemp was on a mission,” Pickett said. “He really wanted to go out there and work hard in his last regular season game. He had a big game for us.” Outside of Parker’s three scores and Kemp’s two touchdowns, Roudabush also threw a 12-yard pass to Meade Hall for a touchdown. Chase Musselman also converted two two-point conversions on the day. Pickett said the win gives the Knights confidence heading into the showdown in the playoffs. “Winning a game like that, against an archrival, gives us massive confidence,” he said. “We’re going into the first round against another archrival in Fuqua. I think we’re right where we need to be heading in.” The Knights will host the first round of the playoffs against Fuqua on Nov. 9. The game will also be Senior Night, which was rescheduled from earlier this season due to weather concerns. Should Blessed Sacrament Huguenot defeat the Falcons, they would advance to the state championship game and would face the winner of Roanoke Catholic and Portsmouth Christian on Nov. 16. The Knights are looking for their first state championship since 2013, which was the end of their five-in-a-row run.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot has already locked in its best season since that title-winning 2013 team.

Davis Tester was 60th with a 19:58 and Logan Allen was 70th with a 20:31. The Indians finished sixth in the team race with 138 points. Midlothian was the region champion with 46 points. On the girls side, Ashley Trevillian led the way for the Indians with a time of 24:54, good for 38th in the region. Alexis Elzey was 40th with a time of 25:15, Caitlin Grell was 52nd with a 26:48 and Ashley Van Buskirk was 54th with a time of 27:12.

Powhatan’s girls finished ninth in the region with 242 points. The Trojans also won the girls region title with 42 points. Timmons will be the lone qualifier for the Indians to head to the state meet on Nov. 10 in The Plains. “He’s an immense talent and a passionate teammate,” Conway wrote. “I truly think he’ll set a new 5K school record and be knocking on the door of All-State.”

Powhatan’s boys and girls cross country teams competed in the Region 4B tournament on Nov. 1 at Loriella Park in Fredericksburg and one runner in particular made his presence known. Sophomore Gavin Timmons finished third in the region with a time of 17:15. He was 14 seconds behind Branden Wood of Louisa and 20 seconds behind region champion Max Etka of Midlothian. Timmons gapped fourth place Brian Tavenner of Midlothian by eight seconds. “Gavin has a natural poise and confidence in this sport that I’ve seen very few runners his age ever have,” Indians assistant coach Austin Conway wrote in an email. “He’s fearless but believes deeply in himself, and I don’t think he knows yet how good he is and how good he will be in the future.” Conway knows a good runner when he sees one. He joined the team this season as a volunteer assistant coach. He holds several school records at Powhatan and was the 2014-15 1000m indoor champion. He ran at Christopher Newport for a season and has run at VCU for the past two years. YOUTH FOOTBALL Will Paxton finished The Flatrock Warriors 20th in the region with a

Powhatan’s Jordan Krauss (13), AnnaGrace Causey (7) and Danielle Bigham (12) swarm the Midlothian net during the Region 4B semifinals on Oct. 30. The Indians created several chances to score, but couldn’t get a goal to stick on the scoreboard.

Powhatan falls to Midlothian in region semis By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

There was a bit of a recurring theme for the Powhatan Indians field hockey team this season. The theme was having chance after chance to score a goal, but being unable to put the ball in the net. Unfortunately for the Indians, that theme hit the team again in the Region 4B semifinal against Midlothian on Oct. 30 and ended the Indians season in a 1-0 loss to the Trojans. “It’s tough for a lot of reasons,” Indians head coach Steph Tyson said. “It’s tough to lose these seniors. We had so many chances. It’s been the story of our entire season. Sometimes we were able to pull

football and basketball and varsity basketball coach. But, he’s most widely known as the Indians varsity football coach, a post he has held for 34 years. Woodson is the winningest football coach in the history of the Richmond area, with a career record of 282-105-1, counting the win over the Hornets on Nov. 1. He is a two-time state champion, hoisting the trophy with the Indians in 1996 and 2003. In 1997 and 2005, the Indians were state runner-up. He won 16 district championships, eight region championships and was the state Coach of the Year in 1996 and 2003. Woodson was named All-Metro Coach of the Year five times and was inducted into the Virginia High School League Hall of Fame in 2013. Woodson coached in the Virginia High School Coaches Association AllStar Game five times. He was also the Indians Athletic Director from 19992017.

it out. Other games we were not.” In the opening few minutes of action against the Trojans, Powhatan’s offense created several chances in front of the net, but were unable to beat the Midlothian keeper. Midlothian earned back-to-back corner opportunities in the ninth minute of play, but the Indians were able to repel both opportunities. Then, the Indians earned corners in the 12th, 16th and 18th minutes with shots on net in all three chances. Most notable of those shots was one from Danielle Bigham that went on net and off the pad of the Trojans goalie. The Indians defense faced a tall task in the last 10 minutes of the first half

after Katlyn Hicks was sent off with a 10-minute penalty. Powhatan was down another player for the final five minutes after Jordan Krauss was also sent off. In that time, Midlothian controlled the ball and it was almost exclusively in the Powhatan zone, but the defense held strong. The Trojans did get one open player in the 24th minute to the right of the goal, but junior defender Ella Weber made a play to stop the shot on net and keep the game knotted at zero. Just two minutes into the second half, Midlothian broke through as the ball found its way into the net for a 1-0 Trojans lead. In the 35th minute, Powhatan appeared to tie the game off a corner op-

“Words can’t describe what he’s meant to this school and what he means to this community,” current Powhatan athletic director Tim Llewellyn said. “He’s influenced so many lives. He’s coaching kids and sons of guys that he coached. It was wonderful tonight that so many guys could be here. It’s a testament to Jim and Ernie. It’s amazing.” The stadium was adorned with signs and banners thanking both Woodson and Henderson for their contributions to the program. Many former players were at the game to honor their coach as well. Woodson said that while he is stepping away from his head coach position, his love for the game of football isn’t going anywhere. “I still have a passion for the game,” he said. “I still have a passion for the kids. I still have a passion for being with the coaches, having fun and breaking down stuff and doing the X’s and O’s. It’s just time. It’s time to move on. It’s just someone else’s turn. I’ve been blessed

with this opportunity. Hopefully someone else will get the benefits and have the fun that I’ve had.” Woodson said that his family has been “so supportive” during his time as head coach. “My wife, JoAnn, has been very supportive,” he said. “When you’re doing what you do as a coach, there’re a lot of sacrifices made. She’s made many for me and for our children. All my children played sports, too. That’s just the way of life in the Woodson household. That’s what we do. I talked to them about (retirement) and they all came back and asked ‘are you sure?’ I said yes.” The offseason part of the job, with the workouts and offseason time, was also a lot to work with, Woodson said. “It’s very difficult,” he said. “When they started this out-of-season practice rule, everyone was practicing. I’m not a fan of that. I’m a fan of everybody play every sport. I played three sports and I’ve always encouraged everyone to play all the

portunity as Bigham’s shot went into the net. But, the referees ruled the shot came outside the circle and waived the goal off. Two game minutes later, the Indians earned three consecutive corners and peppered the net with shots, but they went wide or were saved. The Indians had pressure on the net from the 41st through 49th minutes with shot after shot and another corner chance, but none of those shots found the cage. Powhatan earned another corner in the 55th minute and the ball went in this time, again from Bigham, but the referees waived the goal off once again and it was taken off the board. “(Bigham) must have

had 10 shots in the final 15 minutes,” Tyson said. “She, most out of everyone, leaves everything on the field and she definitely did tonight.” Time expired five minutes later and with it, the Indians season and the chance to repeat as region champions. “I can’t ask for anything more,” Tyson said. “I always tell them to work hard, leave everything on the field and have fun. They definitely did that.” Powhatan earned the spot against the Trojans after a 4-0 win over Louisa on Oct. 29 in the region quarterfinals. Hicks got the scoring parade started in that one with a goal in the eighth minute. Then, Jordan Krauss scored in the 12th

minute to make it 2-0. Michala Taylor found the back of the net in the 40th minute for a 3-0 lead and Bigham finished off the scoring with a goal in the 42nd minute for the 4-0 final. The game against the Trojans was the final game in the careers of the seniors on the team and Tyson said this team wouldn’t have gotten to where they did without them. “Calie, Katlyn, Dani and Anna far exceeded my expectations,” she said. “They want to do well and they want to win. They work harder than anyone. They have done so much for this team and for this program. They have taught the younger players the right way to do things.”

sports. You have to keep up with the Joneses to be successful. That’s the part that isn’t as exciting as some other stuff. That’s the part I will not miss.” Henderson has coached football at Powhatan for the past 35 years. Henderson participated in the 1974 state championship game for the Indians and is a 1976 graduate of the school. He has also coached in the VHSCA All-Star Game and is also on the coaching staff for Powhatan’s indoor and out-

door track teams. “It was unbelievable,” he said of the ceremony. “Everything was good. Sometimes you can’t believe it’s been that long. It’s been a good run. I’ve really enjoyed it and I’ve had fun.” Henderson said that the state championships stand out during his tenure, but the everyday work as well. “I’ve made some lifelong friends along the way,” he said. Woodson said that Ernie is a “best friend” to

him and noted Henderson’s own football accomplishments as well. “People don’t realize what a good football player he was,” Woodson said. “He’s probably the most accomplished football player in Powhatan school’s history. There’s no other player who got a Division I scholarship and started all four years. No one else can say that. He’s great with the guys and he’s a no-nonsense kind of guy. The players respect him and they love him.”

Indians win set one, but fall to Trojans in semis By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

All season long, the Powhatan Indians volleyball team has remembered the close match it played against the Midlothian Trojans in the 2017 Region 4B tournament. Powhatan met up with their soon-to-be district foes in the region tournament again, on the same court that it met on last season. Unfortunately for the Indians, the outcome was the same as last season. After winning the first set, Powhatan dropped the next three and fell to the Trojans 25-18, 17-25, 1525, 20-25. The teams battled through the first 14 combined points, with Powhatan coming back from an opening 3-0 deficit to eventually tie the set at 7-7. A short three-point run gave the Indians a lead in the set and they started to establish a rhythm. Jordan Davis sparked another three-point run with a kill that turned a 1310 Indians’ lead to a 16-0 foothold for the Indians to build upon. Midlothian was unable

there to bat the ball back into the field of play prior to it crossing the goal line. The ball was downed at the 1-yard line. Orange was unable to get the ball out of the end zone on the ensuing run, which resulted in a safety and a 2-0 deficit. After the free kick from the Hornets gave Powhatan good field position once again, the Indians drove from the 43yard line of the Hornets all the way to the end zone, with Jacob Taylor scoring from 4-yards out for a 9-0 Indians lead. Taylor rushed for 193 yards to lead an Indians

to get any runs going to cut down into the lead as the Indians continued to roll. Davis scored the final point of the set to seal the first set 25-18 in Powhatan’s favor. While the Indians got out to a 2-0 lead to start the second set, Midlothian’s offense came alive and took control of the second set. The Trojans opened up a 10-4 lead and didn’t look back. While the Indians were able to get a point here or there, they weren’t able to sustain a run to reel Midlothian back in and fell 2517. Powhatan and Midlothian battled hard in set three, with the Trojans opening up a small lead four-point lead at 16-12. Powhatan closed the gap to 16-15 before Midlothian took advantage of some Powhatan errors and went on a 9-0 run that turned a one-point lead into a 25-15 set three win for Midlothian. Despite the Indians leading 3-0 in the fourth set, Midlothian would not be deterred and won set four 25-20, ending the game 3-1 and Powhatan’s season.

rushing attack that totals 269 yards on the night. Powhatan continued to push its advantage as the defense suffocated the Orange offense. The defense stopped the Hornets cold on its next drive, highlighted by a tackle for loss on a fourth-and-3 attempt to give the ball back to the Indians on downs. All told, Orange managed 146 yards of total offense on the night. After Powhatan’s Jacob Moss scored on a quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line on the ensuing drive to make it 15-0 Indians after a missed extra point, the Hornets started to get a

Davis had 14 kills for the Indians, while Lauren Llewellyn had 39 assists, 18 digs and six kills. Sierra Ellison had 15 digs and nine kills.

INDIANS 3, LIONS 0 Powhatan’s varsity volleyball team opened Region 4B tournament play with a comprehensive win in three sets over Louisa. While there were moments that challenged the Indians over the course of the game, the team ultimately overcame them and advanced past the Lions. Powhatan got off to a quick start in the first set, going up 10-4 in what seemed like the blink of an eye. A number of wellplaced hits by Davis allowed the Indians to rack up the points in quick fashion. “We played clean,” Powhatan coach Amber Foos said. “Our hitters hit the spots they were supposed to hit. We tried to keep everything away from the libero as much as possible. We played smart.” The Indians took the first set 25-10. The second set was more closely contested, as good drive going. Jaylen Alexander started the drive with an 11yard run, followed by a 9-yard pass from Morris to Christopher Washington two plays later. Hylton Hale had an 8-yard run and it seemed as though the Hornets were started to gain some momentum. But, two plays after Hale’s run, Worthington jumped into front of another Orange pass and intercepted it for his second pick of the game. On the ensuing drive following the turnover, Powhatan marched down the field, highlighted by a 44-yard pass play from Moss to Jaysun Carroll.

Powhatan’s Lauren Llewellyn (6) had 36 assists against Louisa on Oct. 30 and 39 assists and 18 digs against Midlothian on Nov. 1.

Louisa looked to get a comeback started. After Powhatan jumped out to 4-0 lead, the Lions went on a 6-2 run to make the score 8-6 in favor of the Indians. Louisa drew as close as 12-9 before a timeout was called. “We struggled a little bit in the second set. The momentum shifted a little bit. They did the work after that timeout,” Foos

said. The Lions scored two more points to reach eleven, before the Indians shut the door. Powhatan held Louisa scoreless for the rest of set, and went on a 9-0 run to take the set 2511. After going up two sets to zero, the Indians did not allow the Lions to hang around. “The third set was definitely the best we played

all evening, and that’s how we need to play moving forward,” Foos said. Powhatan jumped out to an 11-2 lead and did not let up. A dominant set featured a number of pinpoint hits from Ellison, as the Indians cruised to a 25-5 win to take the set and the game. Contributing writer Ellis Hopson provided coverage of PowhatanLouisa.

Taylor would score from 6-yards out to make it 220. The Hornets, however, responded on special teams for their lone touchdown of the night. Washington took the kickoff after the Powhatan touchdown and zigzagged his way through the defenders for an 86yard kickoff return. The Hornets offense was stagnant after the kickoff return, however, and unable to get anything going against the Powhatan defense. Powhatan did not flinch after the touchdown and marched right back down the field on its next drive.

Taylor had a run of 18 yards and Moss and Carroll continued to make plays in the passing game with a 28-yard connection on the drive. “Jacob Moss is doing a great job,” Woodson said. “The (completion) percentage of his passes is going up and he’s at over 100 yards-per-game. That’s supplying equal amount to some points.” Moss was 7-of-14 for 104 yards against the Hornets. Taylor took it in from 8-yards out to make it a 29-7 game. After halftime, Powhatan’s offense did not relent, with Taylor scoring from 1-yard out and

19-yards on the Indians’ first two drives of the second half. In between those two drives was the third turnover of the night for the Hornets. On the kickoff, Orange fumbled the ball and Powhatan recovered. “Those interceptions and fumbles that we got, it was nice to have,” Woodson said. “It can change the game. It jumpstarted the game in the right direction for us.” Powhatan finished the regular season 6-3 and the seventh seed in Region 4B. The Indians will travel to Monacan in the first round of the region playoffs on Nov. 9.

Powhatan’s junior varsity football team poses following its 28-8 win over Louisa for its third consecutive Jefferson District football championship.

Greenhow, defense lead Indians JV to third title

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

After Louisa scored on its opening drive during the Jefferson District junior varsity championship game on Nov. 3 at Powhatan High School, the Lions lined up to kick to the Indians. Anthony Greenhow brought in the kick, found a lane and burst through for an 86-yard kickoff return to tie the game. “I had to get my work done,” he said. “It was the championship game, so I had to work hard. I had to get in the end zone when I got the ball.” Greenhow scored three touchdowns and the Indians defense forced eight Louisa turnovers in the 28-8 win for the Powhatan

junior varsity team. It is the third consecutive championship for the JV team. “I feel great about the win,” coach Dan Grabill said. “Obviously, we do it for the kids. They went out and executed. I’m at a loss for words. We played a great team, they’re always well coached and I have a lot of respect for Louisa. I’m glad we were able to play well against them today. This one is for the kids.” After Greenhow’s touchdown, Louisa started to get a drive together, but a fumbled handoff by the Lions resulted in the first turnover of the game as Tanner Palmore jumped on the loose ball and gave the Indians great field position.

Powhatan was forced to punt, but the defense caused another turnover just four plays into the next Louisa drive. Louisa quarterback Landon Wilson dropped back to pass and the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage. Powhatan lineman Mitch Bolt dove and intercepted the ball before it hit the ground, giving the Indians possession once again. After a long pass from quarterback Hans Rehme to Mitchell Johnson, the Indians scored on a jet sweep play to Greenhow for 10 yards and a 14-8 lead. Louisa gave the ball right back to the Indians five plays later on their next drive when a deep

ball was tipped in the air and Greenhow was right there to intercept the ball. In the second quarter, after the Indians stuffed Louisa on a fourth down attempt, Greenhow scored his third of the game on a 60-yard touchdown run to make 21-8 Indians. That score would stand at halftime. “He’s made a big difference for us,” Grabill said. After Powhatan committed a turnover on its first drive of the second half, Louisa tried to steal away some momentum. But, the Indians defense would have none of it. On a second down, Louisa’s quarterback was being sacked and decided to throw the ball away for an incompletion, but

Hayden Fitzsimmons was there for the interception. The Indians offense ground down some more clock and eventually turned the ball over on downs to Louisa. The Lions ran six more plays before Mitchell Johnson came up with an interception for the Indians and gave Powhatan the ball at their 42 yard line. That drive led to a punt, which stuck the Lions deep in their own territory. After some long runs by Louisa, the Lions coughed the ball up again and Powhatan recovered. The Indians seemed to land a knockout punch when running back Andrew Cheatham found Dylan Lawson on a 32yard pass play, but the Indians turned the ball over

on third-and-goal to the Lions. Louisa dipped into its bag of tricks to try and get back into the game with a double-reverse pass, which almost connected by the ball fell short of the open receiver. The next play, Lawson came up with a pick for the Indians, which led to a 4-yard touchdown run by Jack Mundt to make it 28-8 Indians. On Louisa’s last drive of the game, Fitzsimmons grabbed his second pick of the game, which put a bow on the performance by the Indians defense. “We preach a mentality that we are ball hawkers,” Grabill said. “We’re going to go after the ball. We stepped up to the occasion today.”
