Board focuses on county growth By Laura McFarland News Editor
By Laura McFarland News Editor
OWHATAN – Even on the cold winter days of the holiday season, drivers traveling around Powhatan County at night are more likely to find quiet dark roads than a long line of homes lit with Christmas lights. But occasionally when roaming the network of fairly dark byways of the county, drivers will very rarely stumble upon a light display that completely takes them by surprise. While the thrill of discovery is fun, the Powhatan Today continues to try to take out some of the guess work in discovering those hidden gems with the second an-

nual Powered Up Powhatan light display list. We have added a few more homes to the list as well as two businesses that have provided some interactive opportunities for merriment in your own backyard. People who decorate the sites on our list do so for the love of Christmas and the joy of sharing that holiday cheer with others. A few reminders though. This list does not adhere to the more strict requirements of Richmond’s Tacky Lights Tour, which asks for a minimum of 40,000 lights to participate. But they still feature some
fantastic displays that are worth seeing. Unlike Richmond homes, the Powhatan sites on this list are often found on rural roads that are dark and sometimes have pretty steady traffic. In several cases where the homeowners give permission, people are welcome to park and walk up to look at the displays as long as you are respectful to their property and that of their neighbors. But be extremely mindful of the lack of visibility and the speed with which everyone knows drivers sometimes use even on dark, see POWERED UP, pg. 3

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors dove back into the complicated issues of the 2017 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan and the future of the Residential- Commercial zoning district at a recent workshop. During the workshop on Thursday, Dec. 13, board members tried to make headway on where they could find agreement on the two issues and what the next steps forward need to be. The first part of the meeting was a discussion solely between the board members and county staff regarding the comprehensive plan, which has been under review since the planning commission started updating it in 2016. The specific topics they still needed to come to a consensus on regarding the comp plan were the chapters on transportation and land use and the Future Land Use Map. After reaching an informal consensus on several points, the board directed staff to make plans to put their final draft out for review by citizens at public open houses in January. The
goal seems to be to have the board have its public hearing and final approval of the revised comprehensive plan at its regular meeting on Monday, Jan. 28. The second half of the Dec. 13 workshop was focused on Residential-Commercial (RC) zoning, which the county has been considering doing away with, but recent pushback from R-C property owners and developers has made the process slow down. David Williams, who represents District 1, presented the findings on R-C zoning from a work group committee made up of himself; Bill Melton, District 4; planning commission chair Karin Carmack, and Andrew Pompei, planning director. The group had been charged with coming back with recommendations on the comp plan, which they did at a previous workshop, and R-C zoning. After his presentation, several members of the public asked Williams questions and denied the need for the elimination or restriction of R-C zoning. The discussion carried on for a short time, but chairman Carson Tucker, District 5, cut it short see BOS, pg. 7

HENRIETTA TE PASKE Henrietta (Yette) Ramaker Te Paske passed away on Saturday, December 1, 2018, at the home of her daughter, Juliana Te Paske, in Powhatan. Yette was born on December 17, 1921, to Henry and Grace Ramaker. She spent her childhood on the East View Stock Farm outside of Sioux Center, Iowa. Her family moved into town in 1934, and Yette attended Sioux Center High School, graduating in 1938. She attended Northwestern Junior College before transferring to Iowa State Teacher’s College (now UNI),
where she earned… her bachelor of arts degree in English and theatre in 1942. During Yette’s senior year at UNI, she was engaged to marry Adelphos (Del) Te Paske. Del left later that year to serve in World War II. Yette taught high school English and drama for a year in Applington, Iowa, then for a year in Sioux Center. She moved to Oakland, California for the summer and fall of 1944 to work in a defense plant in support of the U.S. WWII war effort. Yette married Del, the love of her life, on April 6, 1945, while Del was back in the U.S. to attend the U.S. Army Staff and Command School. After Command School, Del returned to the South Pacific until the end of the war. They were reunited in September 1945. With the end of the war, life awaited. Del was interested in pursuing a career in the Foreign Service, and Yette was excited and fully supportive of this goal. Del applied and was accepted as a Foreign Service officer. Del and Yette were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Juliana, in February 1946. Soon after, Del was sent to Stuttgart, Germany, to begin work in the Foreign Service. Yette and Juliana joined Del in Stuttgart in July 1946. In February 1949, son Judson was born. The family stayed in Germany until 1951, when Del was assigned to Mexico City, Mexico, and the family moved to fulfill the new assignment. In 1954, Del was invited to work at the First National Bank of Sioux Center, and he and Yette moved their family back to their hometown. Yette became active in community and church affairs, which continued for her lifetime. She was a Sunday school teacher; a Cub Scout leader; an officer in the American Legion Auxiliary; an original member of the Sioux Center Combined Appeal; chairperson of the Sioux City Chapter of the American Red Cross; the secretary of the Sioux Center Recreation and Arts Council; an officer in the Sioux Center Women’s Club; a Central Reformed Church RCW officer; an officer in the International Women’s Club; a board member of the Northwest Iowa Symphony, the Sioux Center Hospital, and the Sioux Center Public Library. Family, church, community, friends, love of travel and love of nature united Yette and Del and their family. Yette valued service to others, the importance of education, and pride in community and country. She was a consummate hostess; a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother; an enthusiastic cook; a loyal friend; a bird lover; and an avid gardener. A woman who acknowledged her wonderful life, she lived with integrity and a sense of humor. Yette is survived by her daughter Juliana Te Paske (Jeff Spoon) of Powhatan, and granddaughter Jessica Reed (Ray) and great-granddaughters Kyleigh Reed and Alexis Reed of Richmond Hill, Georgia; son Judson Te Paske (Susan), of Cordova, Tennessee, and grandson Neal Te Paske of Brooklyn, New York; nephews Douglas Moret (Linda) of Oak Grove, Missouri, and Harlan Moret (Deb) of Tallahassee, Florida; niece Gracia Moret Gillespie (Michael) of Sioux Falls; nephews Steven Straatsma of St. Petersburg, Florida and Timothy Straatsma of Tampa, Florida; nephews Dr. Bradley Te Paske (Arlene Landau) of Pacific Palisades, California, and Derek Te Paske of Belmont, Massachusetts; and niece Maureen Te Paske Evans (Roger) of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Yette was predeceased by her husband Del; sisters Alene Moret and Sylvia Straatsma; and grandson Benjamin Carter. A service in celebration of the life of Yette Te Paske will be held in Sioux Center in April 2019. Any memorials may be made to the American Red Cross.

Pam Combs 3777 Old Buckingham Road am Combs is a Christmas decoration newcomer – at least in Powhatan – but is making up for lost time. She said she made a deal with her husband,, Lonnie, that if they didn’t ’t decorate at their previous us home in Midlothian, when en they built their house in 2017 in Powhatan, she could go all out. She took him at his word. “I always liked Christmas but this makes me happy. My husband says, ‘If the wife is happy, everybody is happy,’” Pam Combs said. With a front yard full of lights and blow up displays of all kinds, Combs said she is thankful for her husband’s patience since he is the one who puts them up. But he plans well to make it as easy as possible for them. “People laugh. Our friends come by and joke about how many Lonnie has to put up,” she said. “This year he made an electrical fix. He can flick a switch and all the blowups and lights on the right side of the driveway go up.” The rest are controlled by switches inside the house set up by their electrician when the house was built, she add-

ed. Rather than being driven by a particular theme, Combs is a bargain hunter. Before Christmas is even finished, she is out looking for displays that are marked down to add to her collection. “I rarely pay full price for anything. When you are retired you have to watch your money,” she said. In addition to the joy decorating brings her, Combs said she loves the smiles on other people’s faces, especially children. “If I can be happy putting up blow ups to make other people happy, that is what I like to do,” she said. The lights will be up until Dec. 31. She asks for safety reasons for people not to walk around in the yard because of the wires holding the blows up down.

Pam and Tommy West 2224 Judes Ferry Road he decorations started simple enough almost 20 years ago. Tommy West had two blow molds given to him by his grandmother – Frosty the Snowman and Santa – and one of the couple’s sons had made a wooden tree with lights sticking through it. That’s where it started. Today, their house and front yard are a smorgasbord of lights and displays picked up over the years aimed at upping people’s Christmas spirit, Tommy said. “We didn’t think we would end up like this. We just kept adding a little bit here and there. Then we go to the store and see stuff in the stores,” he said. The lights, which they started putting up shortly before Thanksgiving, took six days to finish. Pam describes her husband as quite methodical when designing the placement of the lights. The new additions this year are a large wire snowman lit in white and a blow mold nativity scene that is complete except for a camel. There are some out
T
there, but they are quite expensive, he said. While there isn’t an overarching theme for the whole display, Tommy said he does like to group similar items together. There is a scene of deer grazing in one section and little penguins and polar bears around a lit wire igloo. And of course, the prized little wooden Christmas tree and Santa and Frosty blow molds that started it all are still grouped together. The inside of the house, while not accessible to the public, is just as festive, including an elaborate miniature village that is almost as big as the room where it is displayed, a lovely decorated tree and living room, and a bathroom with snowman shower curtain. Pam said the couple loves Christmas and they enjoy sharing it with others driving by. She is a school bus driver for Powhatan County Public Schools and said the children on her bus love driving by her house. “It makes me feel good. It makes me feel the Christmas spirit,” she said. The light display will stay on until Jan. 1, 2019. Judes Ferry Road is a busy road, so if you are going to slow down or pull over, make sure the way is safe.

D.J. said he wasn’t able to put all of his lights out in 2017 and he is still not at full capacity. But he has upped the display, with more lights on the house and characters in the yard. Visitors will see characters from Star Wars, several Santas, elves, snowmen, penguins, Disney characters, a pig, toy soldiers, and bears. The family has gone all out, complete with a grand illumination with their neighbors on Nov. 25 and setting up a Facebook page for the house. D.J. said he is working to make the display look different every year and has big plans in the future to create a lighted walkway so people can actually walk through without tripping on wires. Until then, people can still see the display from the street.

Jimmy Rebick 1609 Stavemill Court immy Rebick said his display this year is nowhere near what it was in 2018, but it is still bigger than you will see at the average home. This year it was harder to find the spirit and time to dedicate to putting up the display, he said, because his father passed away and he started a new job after being out of work for awhile and couldn’t take the vacation days he once did to put everything up. However, once he started decorating, he started getting back some of his Christmas spirit. He estimated he had 75 inflatables in 2017 and has 12 this year. He also went from 28,000 lights in 2017 to 8,000 this year. If people want to park somewhere near the top of the driveway and look around, they need to stay on the driveway.

POWHATAN – Charles Richard "Rich" Napier was an avid supporter of the mission of Backpacks of Love, and now the nonprofit has honored the late realtor’s dedication with a service award named in his memory. At its annual board meeting on Monday, Dec. 3 at The Foundry, the first Rich Napier Volunteer of the Year award was presented to Jake Berman, another long-time supporter of the nonprofit organization, said Brenda Fulcher, managing director. The award was given to Berman because he exemplifies the dedication to Backpacks of Love that Napier embodied for so many years, Fulcher said. “Jake is up here all the time. He goes and picks up food for us, he packs, he is with the Ruritan Club – and they come up and pack at least once a month. He is one of these guys that whenever I need something, he will do it,� Fulcher said. A plaque honoring Berman and future winners of the volunteer award will hang in the food pantry where meals are packed to fulfill the nonprofit’s mission to eliminate hunger in school-age boys and girls on the weekends in Cen-
tral Virginia. Each week volunteers prepare weekend food packs filled with 13 prepackaged food items. Each bag is equipped with six meals that typically include fruit, beverage, cereal and proteins that are ready-to-eat and with easy-open cans. Teachers and guidance counselors identify children in need and discreetly place the weekend food packs in their lockers. Napier’s wife, Judy, attended the board meeting and spoke about her husband’s passion for Backpacks of Love and his role as one of the first board members. She said he had found his purpose supporting and working to ensure the success and growth of the organization. One of Napier’s final wishes was his mantra, “give to your community, give to a charity, and give to your family,� she said. Before his death on Jan. 19 from gastric cancer, Napier had asked his wife to donate $10,000 to support the charity, and for his funeral, he requested donations be made there in lieu of sending flowers, Fulcher said. Keynote speaker Rusty Gates, who was the first president of Backpacks of Love, enlightened the new board members and guests about the history of the organization from its inception in 2011.

The charitable organization started serving children in Powhatan County and expanded to other counties, including Chesterfield, Amelia, Cumberland, Henrico, Goochland, and Buckingham, with plans to move to other Central Virginia counties. The nonprofit has gone from distributing 20 backpacks when it started in 2011 to nearly 1,000 backpacks given out every week currently. Also during the meeting, two new

board members, Tim Johnson and Dwight Taylor, emphasized the impact that Backpacks of Love has on the community, the importance of its growth, and why they were willing to serve as board members. The evening concluded when Bobby Fulcher, 2018 president, introduced Lummie Jones, the 2019 president, and she discussed the future of Backpacks of Love.

Someone just driving by the display when it comes on in the evenings might just see it as a pretty flashing light show. But if you pull in, turn your radio to 89.5 FM and stay awhile and you will see it is much more. Every year, Llewellyn creates a synchronized light show to a variety of different songs, trying to change them up all through the season. Some are holiday favorites, while others are just bright and cheerful, such as Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” or M.C. Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This.” The concert-like display is led by Frosty the Towman, a tow truck with lights designed to look like he is singing, and several instrument-playing

characters. Frosty has become such a local character that he even has his own Facebook page. “It takes me five or six hours to pick a song and make the lights work to it. I am working on one right now. Just to make it look like Frosty is talking can take three or four hours. It depends on the sound and how fast he is talking,” Llewellyn said. The company started putting up lights in 2012 but had them on the building, so Llewellyn would put the display up on Fridays and take it down on Monday mornings. In 2013, the light display moved to the side of the building, which enabled him to keep it up all week. Llewellyn said he is the display’s biggest fan because he watches it every night when he leaves work. Except when there is too much snow or rain, the lights are on nightly from 5:30 to 11 p.m. The light display will be up through Jan. 1. People are welcome to stop by and watch the show.

has a message we all should remember. For Christmas 2017, McGee decided that he wanted the lights on his house to send a message, so he put up displays showing the American flag and the thin blue line flag, which commemorates fallen law enforcement officers.

However, he added that he thinks Powhatan does a better job than many other communities of remembering to be grateful and respectful of their service.

Habitat for Humanity wraps up a strong 2018 By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – Habitat for Humanity – Powhatan is ready to wrap up a strong showing in 2018 and is looking forward to any even better 2019. The nonprofit organization held its annual meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 5 at the Mill at Fine Creek, where supporters learned about the accomplishments of the past year as well as plans for the future. Some of the highlights of 2018 for the nonprofit included efforts to renovate the once vacant Huguenot Volunteer Fire Station and convert it into the county’s first Habitat Store; relocating its offices; starting construction on the first house in a few years; already planning ahead to the next house, and hiring Roseleen “Spud” Rick as the first full-time executive director. This was all in addition to the myriad of critical repairs performed throughout the year and the outstanding dedication of volunteers willing to help further the non-
profit’s mission. “In October, volunteers worked more than 625 hours. That is a typical month,” Rick said. “We have to report to Habitat International and Habitat International keeps saying ‘how big are you?’ We way we are pretty small but we’ve got a huge volunteer base.” Going forward in 2019, incoming president Terry Sanders said she will continue to support and encourage the critical repair and home building teams; build on the current critical repairs capabilities; expand fundraising efforts, and increase social media and communications efforts. Sanders also recognized two new fundraising volunteers. One of the specific goals for the coming year will be raising the money to hire a consultant who can design and service a new communications system for Habitat so it can be more relevant and connected with those in the surrounding communities, Sanders said. “I have already started reaching out to organizations and individuals for money

to subsidize this project. This is a start but more donations will be needed to fund this project,” she said. Sanders also reminded those in attendance that its biggest annual fundraiser, the 2019 Valentine Gala, will be held on Feb. 8, 2019, at the Mill. As far as immediate needs, Habitat for Humanity – Powhatan is looking for volunteers across the board in the program, with tasks ranging from working at the store to making critical repairs to helping on a home build, Rick said. Also needed are donated appliances for resale at the store; metal and aluminum cans for recycling; land on which to build; a part-time construction manager, and a truck for pickups. One of the special guest speakers for the evening was Erica Muncey, who will be the recipient of the 13th Habitat home being built in Powhatan, which is currently under construction. For the last two years, she and her 14-year-old son have been renting a room from a friend, which has been challenging for them. The experience of working on the house alongside volunteers has been indescribable, Muncey said, and the promise of owning their own home at the end is still hard for her to believe. “One of the things my son says almost daily is, ‘when I have my own room,’” she said. “He says, “’When I have my own room can I hang a poster up?

the house?’ He hasn’t been able to have a friend over because it’s not our space.” Muncey also thanked the Habitat supporters at the meeting for the “hand up.” John Saber, vice president, spoke about all of the hard work and generosity it took to make the new Habitat Store a reality. It took countless donations and volunteer hours to renovate the fire station and turn it into a functioning store and viable office space and training space, he said. The Habitat Store is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the first and third Saturdays of each month, said store manager Barbara Brown, who is also a board of directors member. Over the nine Saturdays the store had been open as of the meeting, it has seen $15,200 in revenue. This includes not only big ticket items but also many smaller purchases. Barry Watkins, a board member and head of the critical repair team, talked about the way volunteers have impacted the lives of local residents who needed significant repairs to their homes but couldn’t afford them. He stressed that these weren’t cosmetic fixes but heart wrenching situations such as leaking and even collapsed roofs, rotted floors, busted plumbing and faulty electrical. The critical repair team also does efforts such as building wheelchair ramps for people with disabilities. For more information on Habitat for Humanity – Powhatan, contact 804-5947009.

Seemingly simple reminders can still save lives By Laura McFarland News Editor
S
top for a second. Before you read on, answer a question: Are you paying attention? I’m not talking about the amount of attention you give to a flight attendant going through safety protocols on your 34th flight. I’m talking the kind of attention you would pay if a complete stranger walked up to you on the street and slapped you in the face. Got your attention now? I know it’s hard. We live in a time when there is so much going on that it is hard to give any one thing our undivided attention. But there are times when we need to just stop and remind ourselves to pay attention to what we are being told, because it could represent the difference between life and death. Like many of our readers, I spent several days last week stuck inside as anywhere from a foot to 17 inches of snow blanketed the region. With events and meetings canceled but phone and email operating just fine, I worked from home for a few days until things started picking up again. Being stuck inside meant a little more time than usual on Facebook, which for my account now seems more geared toward professional than personal use, reading news stories and receiving regular updates about the storm from state and local agencies. That
meant regular updates about road conditions and the more than 1,200 traffic crashes reported in the Richmond region, including four Virginia State Police cruisers struck by vehicles where the drivers lost control. As we all know, snow and ice are beautiful but treacherous and definitely deserving of our respect and attention. Something that really stood out to me over those few days was how hard different agencies in fire and rescue, law enforcement and road safety were trying to get safety messages out. It wasn’t just about staying off the roads, although that is still definitely recommended if at all possible in poor conditions. Hopefully, you have already heard or read about the Keep the Wreath Green program being used by Powhatan firefighters to remind people to be safe during the holidays. Company 1 currently has a Christmas wreath on display lit with green bulbs that are replaced with a red bulb when firefighters respond to any structure fires in the county. In their efforts to “keep the wreath green,” firefighters have been driving the prevention and awareness messages home with daily tips posted through Jan. 2. Some are tips on prevention methods, such as this one on Dec. 7: When decorating, remember not to block stairways, doors or windows. Remember to always unplug lights and extinguish candles before leaving the house or going to bed.
Championship season? You decide By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
Someone much smarter than me once said that life is about the journey, not the destination. And so it was as the Goochland Bulldogs began practice earlier this year. In those hot days of August, it was sometimes difficult to envision anything beyond that next water break or the final whistle of practice. But, for this group of Bulldogs, many of whom had played together since childhood and formed friendships that transcended well beyond the playing field, there was a defined unity of purpose -- and an eye on a champioship. Even in that sweltering heat and seemingly endless drills, many in this group had visions of a much colder place, a near frozen field in Salem. “This was where we wanted to be from day one,” one of them said last week after suffering a crushing defeat in the VHSL Class 2 finals on that very field. The disappointment was palpable, a bitter rebuke to those dreams and aspirations formed in those late days of summer when a band of brothers began a mission. These troops mustered under new leadership, a familiar face to Goochland football fans and players, but still a change from the longstanding and solid tenure of Joe Fowler. From day one, Alex Fruth became the leader, the man responsible for making the dream a reality. It seemed unlikely to some as they duly noted the loss of many key players from last year’s squad, the natural trasnsitional challenges involved with a new coach and the uncertainty of many young players who would play key roles in this campaign. The team or the coach didn’t hear or consider the chatter as they navigated a tough early season schedule, found a stride, and reached full throttle by late season. It was an inspired group of athletes led by dedicated coaches and staff who never wavered, opted out of shortcuts, and kept improving each week. Standing on the sideline, I noted a confidence among this group of men that increased with each victory. I also saw willing students
who quickly learned from mistakes and responded positively to correct them. So, I shared that sense of loss and disappointment in Salem on Dec. 8 as the Bulldogs (14-1) endured a talented Graham team as well as a rash of unfortunate and untimely injuries. They never quit or ducked their heads. Their enthusiasm and pursuit of that dream was as evident in the fourth quarter with the outcome decided as it was at the opening whistle. As I drove home from Salem, I thought about what makes a championship season. For sure, Graham qualifies to claim that title, but I’m also not convinced what I experienced in the last four months doesn’t qualify for the same designation. I reflected on the infinite number of smiles and laughter I had witnessed, the countless high-fives or congratulatory chest bumps. I thought of the exhilaration of a long return or run from scrimmage, or those numerous kickoffs that sailed into the end zone. Now, I knew long before that game that Coach Fruth and this group of Bulldogs were winners. No coaching staff cares more about their players, or instills lessons that impact lives, not football careers. And even with the loss, this dedicated group of Bulldogs is champions. Years from now, the memory of that long bus ride home from Salem will fade, but the lessons learned and relationships formed on those hot days of summer will remain for a lifetime. More specifically, a small group of seniors played their last game as Bulldogs. Those athletes played four seasons of football in a threeyear career, a tribute to their dedication and excellence on the field. But, the journey confirmed revealed far more about this team and its new coach and experience staff. They’ll have many experiences and chances to play for championships or attain their career goals, or make the equivalent of the winning shot in some other venue or situation. I am confident they’ll approach those situations with the same vigor and enthusiasm I witnessed throughout this season. You can call them winners or just a dedicated group of athletes and coaches who refused to quit. I think I’ll call them champions. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

Or how about this one from Dec. 3: To keep a live tree fresh, cut 1 to 2 inches from the bottom to expose fresh wood and place it in water. Make sure your tree stand can hold water. Check the water level every day, and add water as needed. Do not place trees near sources of heat like radiators, space heaters or heating ducts. And if prevention isn’t enough and the worst happens, there are reminders of the actions our families need to know in case of a fire, such as having an emergency route with practiced escape routes and what to do if you become trapped – “close doors and stuff the door cracks to keep smoke out. Try to call 911 and let them know exactly where you are, and signal for help from a window.” Sometimes the important things – the things we really need to remember to keep ourselves and our families safe – won’t be found in the colorful memes on social media or underneath the big and splashy headlines. Sometimes it is a reminder to water your tree or not overload your breakers or practice escape routes with your children in case of a fire. Because the truth is we will never know how many times reminders and warnings like these actually prevented something bad from happening, but we will always remember when they didn’t.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Landfill will increase danger to buses Dear Editor, I just read the article regarding the concerns of Powhatan bus drivers, and I would like to express my concerns as a person that drives on Route 60 daily. Route 60 is an extremely busy and congested highway. The road has many blind spots and curves. There are many roads that intersect with Route 60 where there are no stop lights, which also creates potential danger. I am a resident of Cumberland and have been fighting the proposed mega-landfill that will put an additional 250 to 500 tractor trailers on this road each day. There is a long section of Route 60 starting near Route 522 in Powhatan that is a two-lane road. Putting additional trucks on this

to officially appoint a new work group committee meant to focus solely on coming up with recommendations regarding R-C zoning. Meeting dates for the work group have not yet been announced.
Comprehensive plan In their review of the two chapters and future land use map, two issues spurred the most discussion. The first related to a new countywide land use category introduced during the updating of the comprehensive plan. This designation highlights areas where there are opportunities to create large, cohesive master-planned developments that incorporate commercial, light industrial, and/or residential uses. As presented, this designation would be used with an area that covers about 100 acres or more and no
road will only be playing “Russian roulette” with school buses. I know that Brendan King did an article on recent fatal tractortrailer crashes on October 16, 2018, and Vernon Freeman and Wayne Covil have done recent articles regarding the Tri-City Landfill. The citizens of Central Virginia are struggling to get the attention of state legislators, DEQ, and VDOT, but to no avail. We have the control and power to prevent this mega-landfill from becoming a reality. Virginia does not need this mega-landfill. We would be accepting trash from at least 21 other states. We need to stop this! It is time for Virginian voices to count! Barbara Speas Cumberland County more than 20 percent of that could be residential. The percentage of allowed residential use has been a talking point raised with this land use designation since it was introduced. At the workshop, Melton said some people don’t feel that restriction makes it economically feasible. He suggested raising it to 40 percent. In the discussion, Williams and Larry Nordvig, District 2, raised issue with going that high, arguing the zone is intended to bring primarily new business to the county as a source of revenue and not more rooftops that require services. The board ultimately decided by majority consensus to increase the maximum number to 30 percent with consideration given by the board of supervisors for a possible overage. The second major point of discussion was the future land use map. Melton pointed out that part of see BOS, pg. 8

the work group committee’s efforts were to severely reduce the number of acres on the future land use map designated as Village Center and Economic Opportunity and significantly decrease the acreage under the Commerce Center and Village Residential. He argued that the work group took the reductions too far in its efforts to send a message that the board wasn’t interested in a proliferation of multi-family housing. He proposed three scenarios that would reclaim some of the acreage in those four designations. All of the areas he sought to return to either Village Center or Village Residential were on Route 60 on the eastern end of the county. The discussion around Melton’s suggestions again touched on the issue of the residential-to-commercial ratio in Powhatan and trying to correct that imbalance so businesses are bearing more of the tax burden. After discussion on each one, the board took Melton’s suggestion on two of the scenarios, which added back 171.15 acres to the Village Center designation and 115.20 to Village Residential. Although it did not garner as much discussion, Melton also raised the idea of having the Economic Opportunity designation at the intersection of Routes 60 and 522. Presently it is Commerce Center, which the board with a majority consensus decided to keep.
R-C Zoning Williams tried to allay fears about the county’s intentions toward the future of the R-C zoning district with a presentation on its history, the impact it has had, and why it has been recommended for elimination. When R-C was created in 1984 to foster economic development, it included all land within 500 feet of Route 60 from the Chesterfield County line to Route 522, Williams said. One attempt was made in 1990 to eliminate R-C but failed. In 2018, the board of supervisors revised the permitted and conditional used of R-C, severely limiting it from
what it once was. It also made it so R-C’s architectural and development standards are the same as for county growth districts. The reasons the county is considering R-C zoning’s elimination is because it promotes small, non-cohesive, development along Route 60, which is the county’s “Gold Vein” for economic development; allows for limited citizen input, and promotes piecemeal development since byright development is often followed by rezonings for the rest of the development, he said. Other issues are that the county is unable to receive dedications of land or off-site proffers for transportation improvements or leverage SmartScale applications and development is often directed at “shoehorning” everything into the 500 by-right area to avoid rezoning, Williams said. He also cited a citizen survey the county did that found that 58 percent of respondents think development along Route 60 is unattractive. If the R-C zoning district is eliminated, properties that in the past had actively rezoned to that designation (not the original 500-foot swaths of land reclassified in 1984) would be reclassified to another current zoning district compatible with their approved rezoning, Williams said. Properties that have already developed as a commercial use (not within a platted subdivision) would be given a new zoning designation of Commerce Center (CC), Williams said. Properties with a residential use, commercial use, or vacant (within a platted subdivision) would be given a new zoning district designation with the majority of the rest of the subdivision, and residential use, institutional use, or vacant (not within a platted subdivision) would be downzoned to Agriculture-10 (A-10). Williams addressed three specific areas. With properties that have county approved rezonings or have already developed within the 500 foot by-right R-C zoning, any property that has been approved by the county for a rezoning would not be downzoned and will receive a new zoning district designation consistent with current zoning ordinance and the applicant’s original request, he said.
Any property that has already developed by-right within the R-C zoning district would be reclassified to one of the county’s current zoning districts consistent with the existing use. Neither would be downzoned to A-10. R-C properties in the growth section of Route 60, if not already developed, would be downzoned to A-10, Williams said. When ready to develop, property owners would have the ability to rezone to CC and would receive credit for the cost of their rezoning application. With R-C properties in the Rural Enterprise Zone (Flat Rock to Academy Road), those that have not rezoned or developed would be downzoned to A-10 and when ready to develop, could apply for a rezoning under the new zoning district, Williams said. Again, they will receive credit for required application fees. Appropriate zoning districts for rezoning are Commerce Center (CC) and Light Industrial (I-1) Properties reclassified A-10 will be assessed at a lower value than commercially zoned properties, meaning property owners would be paying lower taxes until they are ready to develop and pursue commercial rezoning, he said. Also, when property owners are ready to apply for their rezoning, they will receive relief from the county on required rezoning fees. Properties reclassified as CC or rezoning to CC will have a greater variety of permitted and conditional commercial uses. Williams’ presentation was followed by a short question and answer session in which several members of the public questioned the presentation or outright said they disagreed with it and didn’t want their property rights taken away. Tucker called an end to it and laid out his plan for the R-C zoning work group, which started with 11 members but may have as many as four more people appointed who are not R-C property owners or developers. This last was an adjustment made to have more balance on the committee after Williams raised concerns there weren’t more everyday citizens who aren’t directly impacted represented among the roster.

North over South, 25-13 North All-Stars takes 4-2 lead in six-game Big River Rivalry series By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor
A
SHLAND - Punts were prevalent and flags flew onto the field, but Lee-Davis’ Zach Lass dug deep, found the heat he needed in his arm on a soggy Saturday afternoon and connected with dynamic Highland Springs receiver Antwane Wells to lift the North-Stars past the South 25-13 in the Big River Rivalry high school allstar football game. Wells earned MVP honors in the sixth edition of the Greater RVA region’s high school showcase, which annually features the clash of standout seniors from North and South of the James River at the end of each high school season. Wells made five catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Ky’mon Pope of Dinwiddie was named the South All-Stars’ MVP. He carried the ball 25 times for a fiery 140 yards on the rainy afternoon and added 51 yards, passing on four completions against two interceptions and a rushing TD. Lee-Davis’ Lass completed five passes for 144 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
NICK LIBERANTE/POWHATAN TODAY
The South All-Stars match up against the North in Saturday’s sixth annual Big River Rivalry all-star football game.
Highland Springs’ D’Vonte Waller completed nine passes for 109 yards, a touchdown and one interception. Goochland’s Sam Brooks picked up four solo tackles, including a tackle for loss, and an assist for the North. Powhatan’s Jacob Dowdy led the way on a TFL for the South. “I just came off the ball, read the play, made the tackle,” Dowdy said, adding of playing in the all-star game: “It was a great opportunity, very fun, just glad to do it.” Representing Powhatan County on the South All-Stars were lineman Dowdy and running back Jacob Taylor from Powhatan High School and linemen Noa Hasty and Luke Freudenthal from Blessed-Sacrament Huguenot. Benedictine’s Tre Akande made an interception within the final 30 seconds of regulation. In addition to Goochland’s Brooks and Benedictine’s Akande, Benedictine lineman Cole Simon represented Goochland County on the North All-Stars. Hanover County’s representatives on the North team were Lee-Davis’ Lass and Colby Andrews, Atlee’s Tucker Bratton, Will see NORTH, pg. 8

POWHATAN - Twenty points. That's how many Fluvanna County had strung together in the fourth quarter to catapult out of a 66-47 hole and into a one-point lead over host Powhatan in the final minutes. Shades of Powhatan's season opener versus Monacan began to creep in, when the Indians were ahead of Monacan by 15 points in the fourth quarter, but the visiting Chiefs, led by a

OWHATAN -Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot girls basketball saw both a strong start to the Wednesday, Dec. 12, home contest and a 13-point night overall from eighth-grader Madelyn Mitchell. But visiting Isle of Wight Academy took command in the second quarter and pulled away to defeat the very young Knights 52-22. BSH opened the game strong when it took a 7-2 lead off of points from Mitchell and Katie Schiefer. Mitchell sank a threepoint shot from behind the upper-right curve of the arc and Schiefer netted four points off of two fastbreaks, the second coming off her steal and the first resulting in the first points of the game. "First quarter was the best quarter we’ve played all year long,” said BSH girls basketball assistant NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY coach Dennis Forward.

Answering when opportunity knocks
I
can’t tell you when I read my first-ever story in a newspaper, but I do remember reading a special section dedicated to the start of the 2001 NASCAR Cup season in, I believe, the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and it was from there that I began reading sports articles both in print and online. It was an emotional season that year on the NASCAR Cup Circuit (Dale Earnhardt lost his life in the final turn on the final lap of the Daytona 500, won by a driver Michael Waltrip, who he had just hired to drive for his team). Maybe it was because I was coming of age (12), I began writing my own alternative NASCAR season starring my classmates, and it was complete with play-by-play race recaps written from a sports broadcaster’s point-of-view, schedules, points standings and news articles before and after each race. I also did that for football, but not as seriously. But -- because I had taken to doing this kind of writing at a young age -- my parents persuaded me to write for a newspaper. So at 13, I had my first two articles -- recaps of the Rappahannock Raiders’ varsity and JV basketball teams from when they hosted James Monroe -- published in a 2002 edition of the Northern Neck News. For whatever reason, whether it was because of nerves or just because I was in middle school, I didn’t write any more stories for the NNN, and I eventually moved to Norfolk where I was a part of the Maury High School monthly newspaper my senior year. Unfortunately, that year’s class was plagued by production issues, so we only published four editions. I remembered reading the University of Mary Washington newspaper back when it was called the Bullet to get a sense of its style before I even started attending classes there. The other career path I had weighed throughout my high school years was becoming a teacher, which my parents eventually persuaded me to pursue in college. It did not work out. After graduation I found myself back in Warsaw with a college degree but no master’s in education. It was a bumpy road until I walked into the Northern Neck News office in Warsaw one day just to see what kind of writing opportunities they had. The editor at the time agreed to let me freelance for him, and after I enjoyed covering a variety of areas from government meetings to bridge work to fairs to farmer’s markets, I was offered a full-time reporter position when my editor announced he was leaving. It’s been a whirlwind since. When I became the editor of the NNN I was able to get back into sports writing, and I found my calling. I was excited about being able to show in written form how an athlete executed a play on the court and then how he or she reflected on that play, that game or that season. I enjoyed getting to go to signings and talk to the players and the coaches, and I found joy in seeing how much a contest or simply just playing the game meant to a player or to a coach. I’ve been extremely fortunate in that everywhere I’ve worked has been a sports-driven region. The Northern Neck has been a baseball community throughout my life, and the parents and readers absolutely loved seeing their local teams and kids in the paper. Sports still remain one of the central unifying factors in bringing people together in one setting in that area, so ensuring strong sports coverage was a necessity. I was glad to see that same passion for sports thriving in the Tri-Cities. So, because of that, I am very excited to be coming on board as the sports editor for Powhatan Today, Goochland Gazette and Cumberland Today to represent communities that I understand to be very passionate about their sports teams as well. I saw Powhatan baseball and Powhatan softball compete when I covered Dinwiddie, and -- not only do I remember the softball team dominating -- I remember the home crowd turnout for Powhatan’s games being strong. I also saw one of my favorite high school basketball games played when I went out to see the Powhatan boys basketball team compete against Monacan in its 2018-2019 season opener. Joe Basimile launched an inspired comeback to drive his Chiefs past the Indians 90-89 at the last literal second, but the Indians had a great opening showing, with Deven Van Natter commanding the floor, weaving his way past defenders with expert footwork and ball handling. Several different Powhatan teammates also found the basket from both up-close and afar. I also was impressed by the big, rocketing passes they could pull off with ease in that game. It might have not been a victory, but it was a great way to get introduced to one of the teams I’m excited to cover. It means a lot to me to have this opportunity to be able to report on sports in the Powhatan, Goochland and Cumberland communities to the best of my ability, and I look forward to working with the coaches and athletic directors and also highlighting both the achievements and the dedication of the players and teams. It’s my passion and my pleasure to show the readers and the world the great things that are coming out of the sports scene across the three counties, so feel free to reach out and let me know how I can help. I can be reached right now at nvandeloecht@powhatantoday.com.
