Parade spreads Christmas cheer By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The chilly weather wasn’t enough to hold back the warmth of the holidays that infused the 2018 Powhatan Christmas Parade this weekend. After inclement weather canceled the parade in 2017, residents and visitors alike seemed more than happy to have the holiday tradition back as dozens of the community’s churches, school groups, emergency services personnel, civic groups, clubs and businesses paraded through the historic Powhatan County Village on Saturday, Dec. 8. First-time parade announcers Roy and Mary Harrison said the experience got a little frantic at times but was still fantastic. They were excited with how the parade flowed and participants and viewers alike enjoyed themselves. “Powhatan always has a parade that has a multitude of many different people, transports and floats and it is real America,� said Roy Harrison. Laura Baltz of Powhatan walked in the parade with Girl Scout Troop 3029,

POWHATAN – The Christmas wish list for Powhatan Animal Control is pretty short – they want to give the animals that come through their doors the gifts of good health and forever homes. But instead of waiting to see what Santa brings, animal control officers are hoping the Powhatan community will help fulfill those needs. In the midst of the holiday

Planning commission approves controversial project By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Planning Commission last week unanimously recommended approval on a rezoning project some of them said has come to exemplify one of the big problems in the county’s current zoning ordinance. During its meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 4, the board voted unanimously to approve a rezoning requested by Jacques Gits regarding 12.148 acres currently zoned either General Commercial (C), Residential Commercial (R-C), or Agricul-
tural (A-10). He requested to have the land, located at the corner of Dorset Road and Anderson Highway behind CVS, rezoned to Commerce Center (CC) with proffered conditions. The commission had previously heard the case twice, including the last time on Nov. 7, when they voted 4-0-1 to defer it while the applicant submitted additional information that was requested. Dana Moore, a new planning commissioner, abstained from voting. Planning director Andrew Pompei noted on Nov. 7 that the applicant submitted a revised conceptual plan and re-
vised proffers list. One revised proffer addresses redevelopment of one of the lots that already has two existing residential buildings on it. If the site is redeveloped, the proffer says that the existing buildings and associated entrances will be removed and that any commercial redevelopment that occurs will be accessed from the internal street network on the development project. The conceptual plan also shows one of the new lots that are part of this development would be a McDonalds opensee PLANNING, pg. 6

Officials declined to release the names of the two stores, which are cooperating with the investigation, and no charges have been filed. The investigation began earlier this fall, when an officer purchased a product called Hemp Flower from the first convenience store as part of the investigation, according to Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney. The product was sent to the Virginia State Lab as a requested rush job and tests showed it to be “3.37 grams of pure marijuana.� The label on the bottle shows it was distributed by a company called Innovative AgriProducts LLC in Asheboro, North Carolina. The company’s website says it is a Founder's Hemp company, that “serves farmers, processors and aggregators, who are permitted in their state under the Federal Farm Bill of 2014, with a solutions-focused team.

which had 27 members of the troop participating, as well as troop leaders and family members. She has been walking with the troop in the parade for more than a decade and loves the tradition. Baltz added that Pat Lyons, Powhatan Christmas Mother 2018, visited the troop’s awards ceremony earlier this month and talked to the girls about socks they collect for the program during the fall. That meant that when they participated in the parade, which benefits the Christmas Mother program, they understand its importance. Although they have lived in Powhatan for seven years, this was the first time seeing the parade for Brian Nalder, who attended with his wife and three daughters. He said it was nice to see the community come out for the event and the variety of groups participating. He was especially happy that his two youngest daughters, Amberly, 6, and Savannah, 4, road on the float with Santa Claus. “I think the parade represents
Powhatan very well. We are a very nice community, loving to one another, and I think it is a great opportunity to just see the community and how much everybody cares about it,” he said. “It was great to see the farmers’ floats come by because, historically, this was a farming town.” Sarah Moore of Powhatan, who was also a first-time Powhatan Christmas Parade watcher, attended the event with her family and her sister’s family. Moore, who is a reading coach at Flat Rock Elementary School, said the experience was filled with a small-town feeling, from the free hot chocolate given out by local churches to the community’s participation in the parade. She added it was so touching that it brought a tears to her eyes. “We knew people in the parade. A lot of my students were in the parade and I had friends that go to the churches, so that was cool,” she said. “I wanted to come to a Hallmark movie parade, and that is what it was.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Old Buckingham Road in the Village area was lined with people who braved the cold to see the 2018 Powhatan Christmas Parade, which included a variety of special groups, churches, businesses, and civic organizations.
POWHATAN – A Powhatan County outdoor power equipment business was recently the victim of breaking and entering for the second time in three months. On Thursday, Nov. 29 at about 5:55 a.m., a Powhatan deputy drove by Land and Coates, located at 2624 Anderson Highway. For the second time in three months, someone had broken the lock on the property’s gate and stolen three high-value lawnmowers, according to Detective Mike Wentworth. Land and Coates was the victim of a similar crime on Aug. 25, when suspects broke in sometime in the early hours of the morning and stole a trailer and three mowers.
Deputies believe someone came onto the property for an unknown period of time and staged the mowers for quick loading, Wentworth said. The vehicle shown on camera coming to pick up the mowers entered the property at 4:11 a.m. and was gone by 4:16 a.m. according to surveillance footage. The three lawnmowers taken on Nov. 29 are valued at a total of $31,500, according to police documents. The truck that did the hauling is suspected to be a Ford, heavy duty 250 or 350 truck. It is a white regular cab dually. Another possible vehicle suspected to be involved was a Chevrolet or GMC extended cab truck. If you have any information, contact Powhatan Crime Solvers at 804403-HELP.

Efforts to reach AgriProducts for comment were unsuccessful as of press time. The first store and a second store that was identified by the sheriff’s office were also found to be selling other cannabinoid-related products that detectives found suspicious, Cerullo said. When the sheriff’s office shared its suspicions with the convenience stores, they voluntarily surrendered the remaining products pending testing, Cerullo said. The products have been sent to the state lab for testing, but because there are no charges pending, the process will not be expedited and results could take up to three months.

include cannabidiol gummy bears, vape additives, pain creams, and leaf products. Industrial hemp contains only less than 0.3 percent THC, while marijuana’s THC content can be 5-10 percent or more. If the tests come back showing illegal levels of THC, the items will remain confiscated, he said. If they do not contain illegal levels, they will be returned to the stores. Products that come back positive for marijuana from the state lab cannot legally be bought, sold or possessed in the state of Virginia under Virginia law, Nunnally said. “All of the products are marked ‘legal’ and ‘lab tested,’ but it obviously doesn’t say what lab or anything else,� Nunnally said. Cerullo said that local law enforcement believes “companies set up in other states where it may be legal to possess marijuana are manufacturing this stuff and sell-
dered because of the health of the owner, which is no fault of the animal. Additionally, there are at least two local properties with large amounts of feral cats they are trying to rescue and find homes for. One of the ways shelters avoid euthanizing animals who have been in the shelter for awhile when the numbers are getting too high is by finding rescue groups and foster programs willing to take some, she said. But during the holidays, when people are busy and traveling, some can’t take in new animals. Medical expenses are also a huge part of caring for the animals, Boczar said. When animals come in, there is a mandatory hold period of anywhere from five to 10 days, depending on the circum-

ing it and somehow it is coming to be sold in Virginia.� One of the big concerns is that customers buy these products believing their claims and the stores’ assumptions that they are legal, get stopped by police and found with a product that is actually considered to be marijuana, Cerullo said. That could lead to being charged with possession of marijuana. Cerullo also raised concerns about people – especially young people – getting sick on products they think are legal and safe, pointing to a recent case where a Powhatan High School student had to be hospitalized because of a THC overdose from an unidentified source. The sheriff’s and commonwealth’s attorney’s offices are working with the State Police Task Force on the case, which is an issue counties all over Virginia are facing, Cerullo said.
stances, and in that time, they have the funds for medical services. But outside of that time period, if the animal can still be saved but needs more medical treatment, that is only possible using donations if they want to avoid euthanasia. “I know the community appreciates the fact we

bers in 2017 were highly skewed because of a cock fighting operation that was uncovered in Powhatan in which all 303 birds that were seized had to be euthanized by law. Out of the remaining 371 animals in their care, 16 were euthanized. For the past five or six years, except for the cock

We are classified by some as ‘no kill.’ We are ‘kill’ but because of them we are able to not kill, and we want to continue that way,� Boczar said. Typically, Powhatan Animal Control’s euthanasia rates are very low and usually tied to extreme aggression or being unable to help a old, sick or injured animal, Boczar said. The agency’s num-

To donate, people can drop off or mail checks to Claws and Paws, 4313 Anderson Highway, in care of the animal shelter or contact 804-598-8030. The animal shelter also has donation accounts set up with A.L. Shilling Spay and Neuter in Mechanicsville (804-3686232) and Prevent a Litter Veterinary Hospital in Richmond (804-3596369). The third area of care where the community can help is with donations to Ring Dog Rescue, which for the last year has paid to have an employee of Canine Adventure, a professional dog care provider service, come out each Friday and work with the dogs. This is an invaluable service because it socializes the dogs and gives them a little obedience training thanks to the handler, Boczar said. The worker also takes photos of the dogs and writes

We were hoping if they did it for the year, people would donate enough money for us to do it another year. But we have had very little donations,â€? she said. “Literally that is one of the best programs we have because it is not just dog walkers, it is some obedience.â€? The link for supporting the program is still active on Ring Dog Rescue’s website, https://ringdogrescue.org/. People can also call to 804-334-8811. The Powhatan community often comes through for the shelter to help it fulfill its mission to save and re-home as many animals as possible, Gatewood said. “The biggest thing is we need them. We have a wonderful community. They have backed us in many ways and given us so much,â€? she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

partment of Transportation (VDOT) nor the more stringent standards of the county. Allowed entrances were reduced anywhere from 24 percent to 35 percent below the county’s spacing standards, which effectively “gutted” those standards. The only way the commission even agreed to hear the case in November was because Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, issued a waiver that allowed the reduction. “So 510 days after the site plan was approved by the county, on June 6, 2017, a waiver was issued on (Oct. 29, 2018) to reduce the spacing standard and bring this project into compliance with our access management standards,” Cox said. Cox suggested revising the authority invested in the director of community development for these types of decisions.
He also noted that this project “singlehandedly ushered in more architectural controls of commercial buildings as a result of the CVS building. It helped spotlight the problems the county was having in getting unified, coordinated development and led to the political agreement to eliminate the R-C zoning. It has consumed enormous and unnecessary resources from the planning commission, staff and of course the applicant.” Cox said his emotional reaction is “not to have my name associated with this project in any way.” “However, this is a land use case. It meets our ordinances – 510 days late – and it is ready to go to the board of supervisors. I will vote to approve the rezoning,” Cox said. Chair Karin Carmack, District 1, said that given the current discussion about potentially eliminating the R-C
zoning district, this “piecemeal project is exactly why the planning commission proposed to the board of supervisors to eliminate the R-C district.” With the kind of by-right development under which CVS was built, the county was unable to get any rightof-way dedication or proffer money allocated toward the project, and those associated with the case have spent months and hours trying to fix it, she said. At the end of the day, the planning commission is doing what it was asked in trying to control how Anderson Highway looks, and this is part of that process, said David Van Gelder, District 5. He said he shares some of the same concerns Cox raised but also would approve it. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

ing in 2019. While the commission would go on to unanimously recommend approval on the case, which will now go for consideration by the board of supervisors, a few of them still made comments on the problem with the project in relation to the current contentious topic of the role of Residential Commercial (RC) in Powhatan. They would also later remind people that the future of R-C zoning is going to be one of the topics discussed again by the board of supervisors at a workshop at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 13 in the Village Building. Before the vote was taken, Bill Cox, District 4, once again drew attention to the fact that the project met neither the access management standards of the Virginia De-
reappointed to the legislative committee. The sheriff said he is humbled by the election and reappointment as it is unusual for a first-term sheriff to be placed in a leadership position within the Virginia Sheriff’s Association. Nunnally will utilize his position as Region VIII director and as a legislative committee member to push for larger contributions from the state to local budgets and also to review state bills and make recommendations on how to improve the laws that govern local communities.

Dads don’t have the corner on corny jokes By Laura McFarland News Editor
W
hy haven’t aliens visited our solar system yet? They looked at the reviews … only one star. What do we want? Low flying airplane noises! When do we want them? NNNNNEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!! OK, I admit it. I like dad jokes. I don’t know why they got that moniker or why only dads get to have all the corny fun, but I love them. Also wonderful are puns, plays on words, jokes that use spelling changes, the occasional knock knock joke, the list goes on. In the army of corny jokes, I’m a kernel. There are a select group of family and friends who suffer through my corni-
ness. It comes and goes in spurts. I will come across a cache of jokes somewhere in a book, memes on Facebook, in fortune cookies … really anywhere is fair game. Suddenly the urge comes over me and the private messenger feature comes open. These people – these patient, longsuffering few – get a sudden deluge of lovely, starchy goodness coming through. Obviously, it is better to actually tell the jokes — but if a phone call isn’t possible, texting is the next best thing. Imagine you are going about your day like normal and you suddenly get this: One hundred years ago everyone owned a horse and only the rich had cars. Today everyone has cars and only the rich own horses. Oh how the stables have turned. Christmas is coming up in two weeks, so how about some themed ones? Why are Christmas trees so bad at
The universal language of man By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
I’m not sure how kids today view music, or the pursuit thereof. Sure, many of them can’t take a step without headphones or a catchy tune playing on their personal devices, but the actual creation of music doesn’t seem as important as a keen ear. I suppose it’s a sign of the times that a block of music stores in downtown Richmond no longer exists, and a culture of small distinct shops are only a memory. But, to a small group of Richmonders, the thought of the intersection of First Street and Broad Streets can mean only one thing — the centerpiece of making music in RVA. Today, devotees visit huge big box music stores with thousands of instruments, all of them available in seconds if your credit is good enough. In the 1960s, if you played music in Richmond, First Street was a regular stop on your schedule. My first visit to Southern Music in 1963 was an introduction to a world of music and an association that would last for decades. My grandmother took me downtown to purchase my first set of drums, a three-piece set of blue pearl Ludwigs. I was convinced that playing them would be as easy as it looked, but quickly learned that playing music is a serious pursuit and there was no substitute for hard work and dedication. As a teen, I took the bus to the block many times, and, on some days, just strode from music store to store, marveling at the selection or latest innovations. Entering one of those shops seemed almost magical, complete with a unique smell of old instrument cases or brass horns. The aisles were packed with every sort of musical toy. In addition to Southern Music and Boykins, the block included Richmond institutions like Walter D. Moses and Jacobs Music.
Cary Gee Music on Cary Street offered a unique line of instruments and represented the only outlet in Richmond that sold Rickenbacker guitars exactly like the one used by John Lennon. In the West End, Don Warner Music provided lessons for all sorts of enthusiasts, including me, and became the favorite for many of the players who grew up in that era. A sign in one of those stores read “Music is the universal language of man.” Those words stuck in my mind, and I often thought of them as I progressed through my music career. In that tiny block in downtown Richmond, one might encounter an accomplished violinist or first chair trumpeter for the symphony, or you might run into a guitar player with spiked hair and sparkled boots. That magic of music united them at all, at least for a moment as they shared a common love of notes, patterns and arrangements. Following those days in the musty smelling shops on First Street, many of the regular customers went on to pursue more normal careers, and, for many, music became a part of their childhood memories. For others, it was the beginning of a lifelong association that provided a living for some, and a great escape for others. But, for all Richmond musicians, the days of small music stores downtown opened a window that somehow never closes completely. There’s still a magic about any music store, even the big ones that seem overwhelming to those used to something smaller and more intimate. For me and hundreds of other local musicians, that lifelong love affair began with a bus ride to First and Broad Streets and a visit to one of those small shops that once lined the block. The stores might be long gone, or at least relocated, but the joy of music planted in that small block, lasts a lifetime. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

knitting? They always drop their needles. What does Jack Frost like best about school? Snow and tell. I know they are bad. Isn’t that the definition of a dad joke? They are supposed to be cheesy, dumb, eye roll-inducing, cringe-worthy, pitiable attempts at humor. They elicit groans, eye rolls, reluctant chuckles, scoffs, and even pleas for mercy. In print, the emojis range from the little yellow character doing a face palm to one laughing hysterically. Let’s be honest. People who tell these jokes (mostly) know they aren’t great. They are our particular brand of humor, but we consciously choose to inflict them on others. Why is that? I was thinking about that, and, for me, it is the accidental smile. I am telling a few jokes and they are all pretty corny and horrible. But then that special joke

comes along and the person you are entertaining/torturing (it’s all in the perspective) slips and smiles against their will. Of course, this sign of weakness on their part reads as an invitation to the diehard dad joke-teller to keep going, so really they brought on themselves the additional jokes that now absolutely have to follow to see if success can be repeated. Yes, it may be false confidence in our own joke telling skills, but you smiled – maybe even chuckled – and that’s enough. So, to send us on our way, here is the dad joke that got me thinking about this column in the first place because of Powhatan’s dairy history. Studies show that cows produce more milk when the farmer talks to them. It's a case of in one ear and out the udder. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

BSH boys get scrappy in home-court win By Ellis Hopson Contributing Writer
POWHATAN – After a disappointing loss in their season opener, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot looks as if it is finding a winning formula. There are times when the style isn’t clean or pretty, but after back-toback wins, it appears to be successful. A hard-fought 45-38 victory over the New Community School Friday night showcased the Knights’ ability and willingness to grind out a win, something BSH may need to continue to do as the season progresses. The game started with a bang for BSH, as junior Robbie Kurtz came up with a steal just after the opening tip-off and took it all the way for a layup. However, points would be harder to come by the rest of way. The Knights held a 9-5 lead through one quarter. The battle continued during the second quarter, where the teams seemed to trade blows as the momentum shifted back and forth. An important factor for Blessed Sacrament was its ability to crash the boards against the large frontcourt of New Community. “They had some big guys, and I knew it was going to be tough to outrebound them,” Knights coach Chris Hamner said. “We got scrappy, we got to the loose balls when they were there and just kind of out-scrapped them. We needed to do that to get the job done, so that was good.” The game was knotted 17-17 at halftime. The third quarter was more of the same, as the lead changed hands on what seemed like every possession. A key for BSH was its ability to regularly make stops in the half court, an ability that the Knights have focused on improving. “This was our third game. We came out in the first game and thought everything was going to be easy. It wasn’t, and we lost to a team that we maybe should have beat. I think that woke the guys up a little bit,” Hamner said. “Since then, we’ve just made it really hard

for teams to score on us. When teams do score on us, it’s in transition. When we get our defense set, we’re pretty tough to score on.” The Sabres held a slim lead, 26-25, heading to the fourth quarter. After three quarters of defensive basketball, it was time for one of the offenses to finally get going. The Knights stepped up. Hamner attributed
their offensive execution to their simplistic approach. “Offensively we’ve faced a couple of different variations of traps. All three teams that we’ve played have done that,” he said. “Our first game, we just didn’t value the ball, and we were throwing it around, throwing it out of bounds and to the other team. “We worked pretty
hard on keeping things simple in practice. Find the open guy, even if he’s behind you or he’s the safety guy, just find the open guy. Keep it simple and when we see a weakness, exploit it and try to wear the defense down.” There were two primary beneficiaries of the offensive approach for BSH. Junior Raymond Avery led the Knights with 18 points, while
shooting 7-for-11 from two-point range. Kurtz, whose brother Douglas plays for New Community, finished with 16 points. BSH outscored the Sabres 20-12 in the final period to seal the sevenpoint margin of victory. Hamner praised his players for gutting out a close win. “We just scrapped and worked and did whatever
we could to try and get it done,” he said. “That’s going to be the identity of this team, we’re just going to have to outwork teams. We’re not going to beat most teams with skill or athleticism, so we’re just going to have to outwork them.” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will be back in action tonight when its hosts rival Isle of Wight Academy at 5:30 p.m.

Powhatan wrestlers get split at tournament By Dave Lawrence
The changed circumstances was evident in Powhatan’s performance in the Richmond Invitational Tournament at Hermitage High School Saturday. The Indians split their matches in the duals-format tournament, winning a pair and losing a pair. Powhatan thrashed Glen Allen 73-6 and soundly beat Atlee 43-30. But the Indians fell to a pair of teams from the Virginia Beach area, dropping a match to Frank W. Cox 48-30 and to Ocean Lakes 44-33.
Sports Editor
HENRICO – Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some. Powhatan wrestling, led by four-time state champion Collin Gerardi, got used to winning much more than losing. But after losing a talented senior class – the most decorated in school history – which included Jeffrey Hoyt, Ian Oliver and Sam Tomlinson, the Indians are having to get used to a more mortal status.
“We had a couple of kids out today. We’re still trying to get some kids in the right weight classes,� said Powhatan head wrestling coach Jonathan Tanaka. “But it was a really good day, I think. We beat Glen Allen, lost a tight one to Cox, beat Atlee and lost to Ocean Lakes – lost to really good Beach teams. We’re really happy to get to see that competition. Those are really good teams that we don’t get to see. We’re really excited for what the rest of the year has for us. We’re trying to get
better every week.â€? The Indians were led by sophomore 126-pounder Gavin Timmons, a transfer from Abingdon, who finished the day with three pins at his nominal weight class and a decision victory wrestling up at 132 pounds. “He looked really good today,â€? Tanaka said. “[He’s] really excelling and starting to show his true potential, so we’re really excited about what he’s going to bring to our program. ‌ He’s a really good kid, good student,

We worked the offense a bit better. But it was just not a good start. We shot ourselves in the foot,� Henderson said. “We’re young – inexperienced when it comes to playing time on the court.

and everybody knows it. So we have to take advantage of it.� Blessed Sacrament did just that, going on a 16-4 run to close the first half. The Knights’ defensive effort, particularly around the rim, was also key to its strong second
“Powhatan County Public Schools has a number of important community partners, but none are more important than Backpacks of Love. By providing food on the weekends for our students in need, Backpacks of Love is meeting a basic need that is a precursor for effective learning. Without their support, hundreds of students would not get enough to eat on weekends and would show up to school on Monday hungry and unable to focus on their educational needs.�

POWHATAN – In any team sport, it often take time for a team to come together before they can play their best. However, there can be moments at the start of the season when a team shows flashes of what its potential can be. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s girls basketball team had one of those moments in its win over the New Community School Friday night. The Knights showed their progress so far this season and displayed qualities that could eventually define this year’s team in a 43-23 victory over the Sabres. The game got off to a slow start for both teams, with the sides combining for just 12 points in the opening period. Blessed Sacrament struggled to get into its half court sets early on, and couldn’t get the shots it did create to go down. However, the Knights turned it on in the second quarter. The key to unlocking the BSH offense turned out to be getting out on the fast break. The play that seemed to bring a spark came when guard Elizabeth Carter came up with a steal and went coast-to-coast for a layup. Fellow guard Madelyn Mitchell made an almost identical play just seconds later, and the Knights were well on their way with six minutes left before halftime. “The transition offense is important.,� said BSH coach Ethan Sill. “Nobody wants to get back and play defense,
to empty the bench as they cruised to the final margin of victory. A key observation from Sill was the chemistry beginning to build among his starting lineup. “Our starting five is starting to mesh,� he said. “They’re starting to move well and find their spacing, and understand their game.� Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will be back in action tonight when it hosts rival Isle of Wight Academy at 5:30 p.m.
