Senate confirms Powhatan native Sloan in position at Air Force Academy By Laura McFarland News Editor
P
OWHATAN – A Powhatan High School alumnus who went on to build a distinguished career in the U.S. Air Force was recently confirmed by the U.S. Senate as a permanent professor at the Air Force Academy. With the confirmation, Col. Joel Sloan, the son of Fred and Grace Sloan, is one of five officers who was confirmed by the Senate in December. Joel Sloan also heads the department of civil and environmental engineering, a position he took over in July 2018 when his predecessor retired. The president nominates permanent professors at the service acade-

mies and the Senate confirms the nominations via voice vote. It was a lengthy selection process that started
in early spring 2018, when Sloan was initially selected at the school. The application then slowly makes its way up through the ranks, ending with the president and Senate. “We have a little over 4,000 cadets here and to be in part responsible for generating the next generation of Air Force officers and leaders in the Air Force and for our nation is a very humbling responsibility,” he said. Sloan recalled waiting with his colleagues on Dec. 12, 2018, to learn that their confirmations had gone through the Senate. There is always a chance that something could happen at any point in the review process, he said, so it was definitely a big moment when see SLOAN, pg. 4

POWHATAN – Powhatan County recently accepted the mantle of being a Purple Heart County to honor the service and sacrifice of those citizens who were wounded or killed in combat in service to their country. During the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ meeting on Monday, Dec. 17, the four board members present unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing Powhatan as a Purple Heart County. Tom Ashmore, a Powhatan resident and three-time recipient of the Purple Heart medal, spearheaded the effort to gain the county’s support in the endeavor, which he said was met with wholehearted support by the supervisors. The Purple Heart was the first American service award made available to the common soldier and it is awarded currently to any member of the United States Armed Forces wounded or killed in combat with a declared enemy of the United States. As there was not a consistent record kept since the award was established in 1932, the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor can only estimate the total number that have been awarded. At this time, it estimated that there may have been 1.8 million Purple Hearts awarded, according to the museum’s website. Ashmore, who served with the U.S. Marines Corps from 1964 to 1968, was wounded three times during an 18-month deployment to Vietnam. Today, he is a member of the Greater Richmond Chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, or Chapter 1965. The group has made efforts to raise awareness of the sacrifices made by veterans, and especially Purple Heart recipients, through community designations and special parking signs for medal recipients, Ashmore said. Since he is a Powhatan resident, Ashmore was asked to see if Powhatan would be receptive to the idea. He said he approached Bill Melton, who represents District 4, and found him and the see PURPLE HEART, pg. 6

ASHTON MITCHELL III Ashton D. Mitchell III, 65, of Richmond, died of natural causes on Tuesday, December 25, 2018, in the home he shared with his wife, Linda Shepherd Mitchell. "Danny" was the oldest of six children born to Pauline Allen Mitchell and the late Ashton D. Mitchell Jr. of Powhatan. Raised MITCHELL in the countryside with the mighty James in his backyard, Danny graduated from Huguenot Academy ('71) and Hampden-Sydney College ('75), where he studied religion and philosophy, played rugby, hosted a Sunday morning radio show and was president of Theta Chi fraternity. Some of Danny's interesting early jobs included assistant to artist/stonemason Julian Binford at what is now The Foundry Golf Club; trophy engraver at Schwarzchild's, and lifeguard at Salisbury Country Club. Danny began his career in the private sector insurance industry in 1975, with Julius Strauss & Sons Inc., Hilb Rogal & Hamilton Inc. and Robins Insurance Agency Inc. He chaired his trade organization's government relations committee, was president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Richmond and received their "Young Agent of the Year" award. Danny later founded an advertising agency and managed a number of associations through Mitchell Management and Marketing, before joining the Independent Insurance Agents of Virginia as Vice President for Business De-
velopment. As an Accredited Advisor in Insurance (AAI) and an Accredited Advisor in Insurance Management (AAIM), Danny taught a variety of popular continuing education classes throughout the state which were made more tolerable by his uncanny ability to inject quick wit and dry humor into even drier discussions about property and casualty insurance. Danny was also heavily involved with the Virginia Society for Association Executives. It's no hyperbole to say Danny never met a stranger or pun he didn't like. He was a man of faith and spirituality. Above all, he was a loving husband, son, brother, uncle, father and "Papa" to many. He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity and ability to make those around him laugh, often at themselves. Danny is survived by his wife of 37 years, Linda Mitchell; and their four children, Billy Spott (Donia), Nicole Midulla (Sal), Jennifer Spott (Andrew) and Ashton Mitchell (Rebecca); grandchildren, Maia Overby (TJ), Ethan Spott, Zachary Midulla (Kayla), Grayson Midulla, Taylor Stewart (Dominic), Alexis Locklear, Grace Locklear, Emma Grace Mitchell; and great-grandchildren, Olive and Angel. Danny was predeceased by his beloved grandson, Sammy Spott. In his spare time, of which there was precious little, Danny enjoyed sailing, reading, crossword puzzles and golf, but was admittedly "not great" at the latter. A memorial service was held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 30, 2018, at West End Assembly of God in Henrico County, with a reception immediately following at Danny's family home of origin, located at 3390 John Tree Hill Road, in Powhatan County.
KENNETH MORTON SR. Mr. Kenneth Garland Morton Sr., 86, of Burkeville, and most recently The Masonic Home of Virginia, went home to be with Jesus on Friday, January 4, 2019. He was predeceased by his parents, John Booker and Lucie Collins Morton; and by his beloved first wife, Lorene MORTON B. Morton, his high school sweetheart. His heavenly reunion will also include his youngest daughter, Sandra Morton Eagle; his stepson, Dwight Dean Roberts; and three of his five sisters. As a long-distance truck driver, he drove for E. R. Carpenter for 36 years, where he traveled millions of accident-free miles. He probably holds the record for driving the most miles and for having been the safest driver in the history of the company. He is survived by his wife, Jerrell Simmons Morton; two children, Debra Burnette (Bill) of Mechanicsville and Kenneth Morton Jr. (Karen) of Powhatan; three stepchildren, for whom he has been a loving father figure for many
years, Mitzi, Ricky and Brad; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Kenneth worked tirelessly to meet the needs of his community in the service of giving back. Helping those in need was his pride and joy. He served as a Master Mason of Burke Lodge in Burkeville and was a deacon and a trustee at Burkeville Baptist Church. This self-made yet humble man who started as a tobacco farmer went on to be a professional in so many areas. He wanted most to make a difference where he lived, worked and most of all, for his family. He talked the walk and walked the talk. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 1 p.m. today, January 9, 2019, at Burkeville Baptist Church, 222 Agnew St., P.O. Box 325; Burkeville, VA 23922. A reception in the fellowship hall of the church will follow the service and is for all friends and family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The American Heart Association, Burkeville Baptist Church or The Masonic Home of Virginia. The family wishes to thank all family, friends and especially all of his many caretakers at The Masonic Home of Virginia for the joy, friendship, love and comfort they have provided in past months.

Master Gardeners also stressed the importance of checking boxwood plants before using it in their holiday decorations. “Something as innocent as holiday decorating could be a threat to one of Virginia’s most cherished plants,” said Sandy Adams, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services (VDACS). “The plant is boxwood and holiday greenery may contain boxwood clippings that came from plants infected with boxwood blight. Greenery which contains infected plant material has the potential to spread this disease to other boxwood plants.” Boxwood blight is caused by a fungal pathogen that causes

When his parents heard the news, Fred Sloan said they were thrilled for their son, who has worked hard to achieve this milestone in his career in the Air Force, which he loves. “We are not just happy for him. We give the Lord credit. I think we also give Powhatan credit. It is a great community and there is a tremendous spirit of community service in this county,� the proud father said. The Sloan family moved to Powhatan from Chesterfield in 1988, when Joel was 12. He is the oldest of four sib-
lings. His mom homeschooled him at the time, but in eighth grade, he started attending Powhatan High School, where he stayed until he graduated as the salutatorian in 1994. Sloan said he was already developing the interests as a teen that would go on to shape his career. While he was being homeschooled, he helped his parents build the house they still live in today. In high school, he enjoyed science and math and credits some key teachers at PHS with helping further those interests. “The education I got there really helped me and propelled me along the path I have been on in my career,� he said. About three weeks after graduating from PHS, Sloan started at the Air Force Academy, which was another formative experience for him. He said the program is hard but fair and trains and prepares cadets well. He graduated in 1998, when he received his commission as a second lieuten-
ant. In the midst of his career, he also went on to earn a master’s degree and a Ph.D in civil engineering. Sloan’s career was a varied one, sending him around the United States and abroad. He has served in a variety of positions in base civil engineer squadrons and served on the Air Combat Command staff. He is a fully qualified Joint Staff Officer and served as the deputy command engineer at Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), a three-star headquarters and subunified command of U.S. Special Operations Command. His deployments and short tours total 37 months and include assignments at Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia; Camp Arifjan, Kuwait; Ali Al Salem, Kuwait; Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea; and two deployments to Afghanistan. Prior to joining the faculty at the Air Force Academy, Sloan served as commander of the

27th Special Operations Civil Engineer Squadron at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico, where he led the 414-person squadron to three air force awards: the Best Small Civil Engineer Squadron and the Best Environmental Restoration Program in 2014 and the Best Asset Management Program in 2015. Sloan also previously served as a professor at the Air Force Academy for a few years and returned about two and a half years ago to teach there again. His focus now is on soils and foundations, “so I know a whole lot about dirt and the engineering properties of it,� he said with a laugh. As the department head, Sloan said he leads a team of 21 faculty and staff in the design and teaching of 30 core and elective civil engineering courses, in scholarship across a variety of civil and environmental engineering disciplines, and in the development of officers of character for the U.S. Air Force. It is awesome to lead them and help them teach and mentor the great cadets in their care, he said. He credits many great mentors and commanding officers in his own career with helping him get to
this point, both at the academy and in the rest of his career. He also credits the support of his family, especially his parents and his wife, Nancy. The couple has been married 17 years and have three children together – Hailey, 8, and twins Ethan and Andrew, 5. Civil engineering in the air force means managing projects and construction, so Sloan said spent a fair amount of time away from home. “Nancy has been a huge part of that because family separation is never easy. She has done a phenomenal job of supporting me in my career and in general taking care of things and keeping the family running when I have been gone,� he said. Fred Sloan described his son as a fine and compassionate man and a great leader but said Joel is not the only one from Powhatan who has served his community and his nation, some paying the ultimate price. All of those men and women are an important part of the community and deserved to be commended and remembered, he said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

underwent a heart transplant on Nov. 25. It hasn’t been smooth sailing in the weeks since the surgery, but Bryson has proved to be a fighter and has come through it all, his parents say. “I feel like he is still pretty much the same Bryson he was before the transplant, which is amazing because he has a whole new heart. It just shows you he was so strong before,” Amanda said. When doctors gave him the all clear, he was finally discharged from the hospital on Dec. 26, the day after Christmas. The Slates have still been staying with family that lives near the University of Virginia Health System Pediatric Cardiology in Charlottesville, where he had his transplant since it is more convenient both for doctor’s appointments and in case of emergency. But if all goes well, the family is expected to be able to bring him back home to Powhatan this week and hopefully start building a normal life again with Bryson and his older brother, Landon, 7, Chuck said.

members who came to be with them tried to distract themselves by playing games and taking walks, but there were still all kinds of emotions churning up. “It is a plethora of emotions. You are worried. You are anxious. You are scared. You are also trying to be hopeful and excited because it is finally the day you have been waiting for. It seemed very long and drawn out,” Amanda said.
Waiting
871503-01
Bryson’s journey here picks up in October, when the Slates shared the story with the Powhatan Today about the infant’s condition and his need for a transplant. Bryson was home from the hospital at the time, but doctors decided he needed to be re-admitted because he was failing to thrive, Amanda said. Echocardiograms showed his heart function was getting worse and he wasn’t gaining weight. Going back into the hospital on Nov. 1 affected him in two major ways. Bryson was fed through a tube with a special formula and did begin to gain weight. His status on the transplant list also increased, making him a top priority. Doctors told them the wait could be as much as three months, and the Slates settled in for the wait. Chuck works at Capital One, which was really flexible in allowing him to work remotely to be with his family. Family and friends stepped in to help out, especially making sure Landon was OK.

Complications
Unexpectedly, on Nov. 24, the Slates learned a viable donor heart was available, and Bryson would go into surgery the next day. “We prepared ourselves in advance. We were waiting for a heart and excited for a heart, but when that time comes it is going to be nerve-wracking. You are basically – without being too graphic – handing your kid over for them to take his heart out of his body and put a new one in. It is scary,” Chuck said. What made it even more difficult handing the baby over, his dad said, was that he seemed so happy and normal. Bryson’s condition was dire, but he remained their sweet, affectionate little boy. The surgery took about six hours with the family receiving updates every hour, Amanda said. The Slates and family
To add to that stress, coming out of the surgery did not go well, Chuck said. Doctors told them the new heart was “stiff” and not pumping well, so they ended up using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a treatment that uses a pump to circulate blood through an artificial lung back into the bloodstream of a very ill baby. This system provides heart-lung bypass support outside of the baby's body. After two days on the machine, doctors planned to slowly wean Bryson off of 100 percent support on the ECMO over several days or more, Chuck said. As a precaution, they also started the paperwork to put the baby back on the transplant list for another heart if it didn’t work. Unexpectedly, when they started to reduce Bryson’s dependence on the ECMO machine, his new heart started to pump as expected. Within 30 minutes,

they were able to take him completely off of life support. “The day of his surgery, you could tell in their eyes that a couple of his main cardiologists were just like a family member had died. Their eyes were red. They could barely look at us delivering the news that the heart didn’t start right away,” Amanda said. “Then the day that it did, their whole demeanor changed and they said ‘We don’t use this term loosely.’ They said, ‘this was a miracle.’ And it truly was.” For the next few days, things seemed fine. Bryson’s chest, which hadn’t been completely closed immediately in case of complications, was finally closed, Chuck said. He was weaned off on some of the medications and a ventilator. Then Bryson started having problems retaining fluid when the medications he was on damaged his kidneys, Chuck said. The fluid collected around his lungs, causing breathing difficulties. The problem persisted for a few weeks, which led to one more surgery to help the kidneys. Bryson slowly showed improvement. After 25 days, he was moved from intensive care to intermediate care, where he stayed until he was discharged on Dec. 26. At first, Amanda said they wished they could take Bryson out of the hospital before Christmas, but really they were just grateful for his recovery and the chance for a new start for their son. He is still going to check-
ups and taking numerous medications, some of which he will be on his entire life. But, overall, he is doing very well, she said. At the same time they are experiencing this great joy, the Slates have been extremely mindful of the knowledge that another family is grieving the loss of the child whose heart now beats in Bryson’s chest. “It is something you have to think about. You are so deep in thought about what you are going through that you have to pause for a second and think about what that meant for another family. We pray every day for that family that is going through the loss of their child,” said Amanda. She added they hope to reach out to the donor’s family after a certain time period to thank them for saving Bryson’s life with their decision to donate and maybe give them a sense of peace knowing part of their child lives on in him. The Slates also wanted to express their gratitude for all of the family, friends, and strangers who have supported them in recent months. Bryson’s extended family worked to set up a fundraising page to help the Slates with expenses through the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA), a national 501(c)3 charity dedicated to organizing and guiding communities in raising funds for transplant-related expenses. The organization helped set a $60,000 fundraising goal and a website where people can donate at www.COTAforTeamBrysonS.com. The Coalition of Powhatan Churches is sponsoring a classical piano concert at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12 where admission is free but donations will be accepted for COTA in Bryson’s honor. But even more than money, the Slates thanked people for their thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement over the past several months. “It has been overwhelmingly good. It makes you look at the world in a different light. There is a lot more good out there than we think,” Amanda said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Volunteers from the Powhatan School of Dental Assisting and the Chesterfield Technical Center provided free cleanings, fluoride treatments and oral hygiene instruction to children at an elementary school on Nov. 16 in Lunenburg County. Dental assisting volunteers explained the importance of good hygiene and children were able to take a toothbrush home with them. The dental school expressed gratitude for the volunteers and many donations and supplies given to the Powhatan Dental Outreach Foundation For Children to use in this dental clinic.

proclamation, Williams commended Ashmore for his service during the Vietnam War as well as his efforts now to recognize veterans. “Having served in Vietnam and hearing what you have done on behalf of this country makes me proud,” Williams said. Ashmore was wounded three times while serving with the 2nd Battalion 4th Marines in Vietnam. The first time, his unit was on patrol when one of his fellow marines stepped on a booby trap that set off a string of booby traps, he said. Four marines died and 10 were wounded in the incident. “My legs were blown out from under me and I got a lot of shrapnel in my legs that I carry around today,” Ashmore said. “I was fortunate because the way I was carrying my ri-

infection set in and laid him up for about a week. Each time he was awarded a Purple Heart, it was while he was in the hospital, Ashmore said. While he doesn’t remember exactly how he felt at the time, Ashmore remarked it wasn’t an award he would have hoped to receive at the time. Looking back though, his memories of that time are still strong. “It has been over 50 years for me being out of there but you still have feelings and thoughts about it.

Now that the local proclamation has been issued, Ashmore said the Purple Heart chapter will organize a more formal presentation. He hopes many local veterans, es-
ans, especially those who were wounded in battle or, God forbid, had passed in battle.” “I think we should always do everything we can as a community to honor our veterans, whether they have passed away or are living because they give the ultimate sacrifice in taking care of and defending this country to give us the freedoms we have,” Melton said. A resolution recognizing Powhatan as a Purple Heart County was read at the Dec. 17 meeting by David Williams, District 1. Melton said he felt that since the board contains two veterans, Williams and Larry Nordvig, District 2, he felt it would be more appropriate for one of them to present the resolution. Nordvig was not present at the meeting. Before reading the

New Year’s tradition felt personal this time By Laura McFarland News Editor
N
ew Year’s Eve has never been about the “ball drop” for me. When I was kid, getting to stay up late was the really big deal. As years past, spending the evening with friends or family in celebration was the more important part. This time, as the East Coast prepared to welcome the New Year, I was with friends. Since some of those friends have children, the night started out at a community outing that was quite entertaining. It moved back to their place, where sparklers were followed by seeing which child fell asleep first watching the various New Year’s Eve specials. It ended with watching various fireworks being set off – some of them putting on really good shows. It must have been awhile since I watched any of these specials, because I admit to being a little bit dissatisfied. Not knowing half the artists performing and wishing Dick Clark was still alive and in charge of hosting it all may have made me feel a bit old. I found myself thinking and saying “Didn’t this used to have more class?” on more than one occasion. Still, it was an overall fun evening. But of all the moments surrounding welcoming in 2019, one of the most poignant and personal was knowing the 2019 Times Square New Year’s Eve ball
drop in New York City was celebrating press freedom and the importance of journalism. In particular, the organizers of the ball drop chose the Committee to Protect Journalists to do the honors this year. In all of the madness that surrounds the countdown, many people might have missed this mention, and they are certainly not going to bring the festivities down by reeling off tons of facts about journalism or journalists being killed. But since the festivities are over, it doesn’t feel like I will be bringing the mood down too much. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, globally at least 53 journalists were killed in 2018 and 251 imprisoned because of their work. The organization’s website also counted its victories, including helping secure the early release of at least 80 journalists from prison, convictions in the murders of six journalists and helping positive legal reforms regarding freedom of the press in several countries. Talking about freedom of the press and journalism today can sometimes have a polarizing effect, even in Powhatan County. People have their favorite ways of learning the news, whether it is newspapers, television, the internet, podcasts or secondhand from someone who likes to stay current and share everything. Depending on which type of media being discussed, they all have good and bad moments you can point to and cheer or jeer. I am sure there are readers who
F I N D I N G I N S P I R AT I O N By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
End of the year columns often reflect or offer perspective on the stories that inspired during the previous year, or recognize the many famous faces who departed during the previous 12 months. And there was an abundance of both during 2018. Familiar faces who shaped many of our lives, including a beloved president made their final appearances this year, almost too many to list. Each and every one of them probably welldeserving of a single well-worded farewell. And inspiring stories? There was more than an ample amount of tales depicting heroic and meaningful acts, some changing just one life and many others touching the multitudes. As I make a mental list of the important stories of the year, or the memorable individuals who passed the previous year, it’s difficult to choose just one — for all of them hold their own brand of importance, all of them touching stories of compassion and sacrifice. But, one stood out in my mind and I’m not quite sure why. Tyler Trent is a Purdue University sophomore who was diagnosed with bone cancer two years ago as he prepared to enter college. Fighting through grueling chemotherapy sessions, Tyler continued to return to campus, carefully plotting his classroom destinations to accommodate his wheelchair. Trent became known as the Boilermakers #1 fan, and his bravery and tenacity was not lost on his classmates who soon recognized that Tyler was something special. Sadly, a cruel disease continued to take its deadly toll on the young sophomore, and, when football season began this year, Tyler had entered hospice care for his terminal illness. Through it all, Tyler’s dedication to this team never wavered and when his Boilermakers faced a daunting task in a seemingly unwinable game with powerhouse Ohio State, he may have been the only guy on campus that believed his underdogs had a chance at an upset. Tyler predicted a win and the team invited him to the game, made him a special part of the pre-game ceremonies, and then took the field and watched his team as they delivered one of the most shocking and one-sided upsets of the season. The week leading up to the game had been a rough one for Tyler and his presence was not
assured until late in the week. The victory was important to Purdue fans for the obvious reasons, but also for the joy it provided for one of its students. The smile on Tyler’s face and the tears on the faces of the many fans who learned of his plight following the game spoke volumes about one fan’s commitment, loyalty and tough-as-nails attitude. When the season ended, the Boilermakers got an invitation to the Music City Bowl in Nashville. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay offered his jet to transport Tyler and his family to the game, and the quickly becoming most famous Boilermaker served as honorary captain. Now, the game didn’t go well for Purdue, which faced a talented Auburn team that put the pedal to the metal against the Boilermakers. Somehow, that final lopsided score didn’t deter from the joy of a team and its number one fan and a season that will last forever in the minds of those who lived it. A few days later, Tyler’s struggle ended when he peacefully passed surrounded by friends and family. The joy and happiness enjoyed just a few days earlier now turned to grief and sadness, and only the message of Tyler’s last days could console. But, his actions on a few Saturdays this past football season will inspire others who are facing enormous challenge or perhaps fighting the same disease. His courage and enthusiasm for life offer a message for all of us as we enter a new year, full of hope and promise measured in daily doses. Perhaps, Tyler said it best in a letter he published shortly before the holiday season. “Though I am in hospice care and have to wake up every morning knowing that the day might be my last, I still have a choice to make: to make that day the best it can be. To make the most of whomever comes to visit, texts, tweets or calls me. Yet, isn’t that a choice we all have every day? After all, nobody knows the amount of days we have left. Some could say we are all in hospice to a certain degree. So why don’t we act like it? Where is your gratitude? This Christmas, what are you thankful for? I had to write my will recently, and I’m just thankful I can give my family Christmas presents, maybe even for one last time. Let’s not forget my doctors gave me three months to live almost two-and-a-half months ago. So why can’t we live grateful lives? Why can’t we make every day count like it’s the last?” 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

would say the same about this newspaper. As the news editor of a community the size and location of Powhatan, hearing about journalists being murdered for trying to tell a story sometimes seems so far away. At the same time, because of the shared desire to spread the truth and inform citizens of what is going on, it also feels very personal. When a gunman walked into the Capital Gazette in Maryland last June and killed five employees in cold blood, it was like a punch to the gut even though I knew none of them. In those situations, it is all too easy to superimpose images of a newspaper where I had worked and imagine my co-workers and me being cut down like that. It takes some time to get those images out of your head. I’ve written plenty of columns about how I see journalism and its role in the community. Every time a new edition of this newspaper goes to press, I hope it will inform, enlighten, entertain, and even inspire the people in the county who are reading it. Rather than repeat all of that, I will simply reaffirm my commitment in 2019 to providing accurate, informed, interesting information to readers of the Powhatan Today and, as always, welcoming reader participation, either with feedback directly to me or letters to the editor to share with the community.

Powhatan 3rd in Hawk Duals Andrew Cheatham ensures podium finish for Indians on last-match pin By Nick Vandeloecht
Powhatan Boys split the week
Sports Editor
MECHANICSVILLE – His Powhatan Wrestling team was down by six points, and he was taking on the Indians’ last match of the day. Freshman Andrew Cheatham was trailing his Hickory opponent in points, but that didn’t matter. He needed a pin. It was the only way his team could still win. “When I was wrestling, I just knew that my team needed me,” he said,” and I needed to come through there and get six for my team to tie and hope for the best in the criteria.” He got his chance in the second period. Utilizing what he’d been working on with his partners in practice, Andrew got out of the bottom, got to his opponent’s legs, picked him up, put him to his back, picked up the points on the takedown and quickly got the referee to tap the mat and signal the pin. Andrew let loose a joyous outburst as he helped his team tie Hickory 40-40. “It was awesome,” he said. “I looked at my teammates and got ‘em all fired up. I was fired up. It was awesome.” Ultimately, Powhatan won the match on criteria to place third in the Hawk Duals held Saturday, Dec. 29 at Hanover High School. “It’s a good feeling,” Andrew said. “We all fight for each other and work hard in the room. It’s just a good atmosphere.” Powhatan (6-4) split its four matches on the way to earning the podium finish after also placing third last year.
OWHATAN -- Two Powhatan Field Hockey players made the 2018 Times-Dispatch All-Metro teams for field hockey, and a Powhatan resident achieved First Team All-Metro in Girls Volleyball. From Powhatan Field Hockey, senior Calie Rehme made First Team All-Metro for midfielder and junior Michala Taylor made Second Team All-Metro for defender. Rehme, a captain and four-year starter, totaled 10 goals and 10 assists, and Taylor was part of a defensive unit that helped Powhatan deliver eight shutout victories in an 11-3 season. First Team All-Metro volleyball player Quinn Menger, a sophomore and member of the St. Catherine’s volleyball team, contributed 95 kills, 553 assists, 52 aces and 44 blocks at setter. She helped her Saints win the 2018 LIS title and reach the 2018 VISAA Division I semifinals. She was a First Team All-State player, made First Team All-LIS and was the LIS Player of the Year. More information on First Team All-Metro players Calie Rehme and Quinn Menger will appear in next week’s edition.

The Indians reached the championship round by getting a first-round bye and beating St. Stephen’s, but lost to eventual Hawk Duals champion New Kent and eventual runner-up Kellam before overcoming Hickory in a highly competitive matchup. “Those two teams up top…Kellam and New Kent are just phenomenal,” Tanaka said. “Hats off to them, they wrestled really well today.” But for the Indians, they’re focused on continuing to get better, get healthier, and get some of their wrestlers back into their spots in the lineup. “For us, we’re just tinkering a little bit and trying to figure out what we need to do to make sure that we’re peaking at the right time,” Tanaka said. Powhatan’s Jacob Moss (195) and Jarrett Tronge (285) both went 4-0 in contested matchups against St. Stephen’s, New Kent, Kellam and Hickory. “They wrestled really well today overall,” Tanaka said. “Really happy; Jarrett composed himself in that last match, did a lot better job of keeping his emotions under control, in check. I’m happy for that. Moss… wrestled really well today, looked really good. I was really happy for our seniors. I think they’re starting to kind of step it up a little bit and start taking charge, so that’s always good to see.” J.D. McMillin (120), a state finalist last year, also went undefeated on the day, winning three contested bouts and adding a victory by forfeit. Tanaka noted that Colby Cheatham (152) wrestled really well, earning three wins on two pins and a 16-2 major decision. He added that Linwood Hill (220) also looked really good, with two wins by forfeit and a win by pin against Kellam. In the match to decide third place, Colby Cheatham, Moss, Tronge and McMillin all closed out their

Washburn noted that Van Natter, who rolled out a whopping 43 points in Powhatan’s season-opener versus Monacan, has drawn a lot of attention from the teams that have scouted the Indians, and that attention has made for some inconsistent scoring ef-

already-great days on pins against Hickory, and Hayden Fitzsimmons (160) won by decision while Hill picked up his second win by forfeit. But after McMillin’s pin tied the match late, Hickory struck back, earning a pin at the :44 second mark of the third period to take a 40-34 lead with one match left to settle things. That’s when Andrew Cheatham came up big, rallying to win by pin at the 1:10 mark of the second period and force the teams to consult the rulebook to see who won by criteria on the tied final score of 40-40. The teams went about six criteria deep before concluding that Powhatan had won. “It was proof that it was that evenly-matched and we had to go that far down to see who the winner was gonna be,” Tanaka said. “That’s a really good team. It’s a team that we beat last year, but two years prior to that, they beat us, so we’ve got a pretty good little rivalry and it’s a really good team from the Beach that’s a good gauge for us.” Powhatan swept its first match over St. Stephen’s with a 16-2 major decision win by Colby Cheatham over Matt Larson, a 19-2 technical fall victory by AJ Gaskins (145) over Robert Robinson and pins by Andrew Cheatham, Fitzsimmons, Cole Burton (170), Moss, Tronge (285) and Aiden Littlefield (106) over Patrick Hines, William Reid, Nik Sen Dasgupta, Cameron Sweet, Ewan Clark and Jacob Felsenthal, respectively. Hill, Tronge, McMillin and Gavin Timmons (126) all earned pins over Michael Roberto, John McGarry and Ashley Whetzal, respectively, in Powhatan’s 5227 loss to Kellam, and Moss (195) won by a 9-7 decision over Bryce Buchner. Colby Cheatham, Moss and Austin Waller (182) each earned pins in the Indians’ 49-24 loss to New Kent, and Tronge and McMillin each won by decision.

forts because many teams focus in on Van Natter. “But to his credit, he’s still staying aggressive, still working to get other guys involved and stay very much in-tune with what we’re trying to do on both ends of the floor,” Washburn said of Van Natter. “He’s honestly drawn a lot of the teams’ attention as he should, because he has had some great scoring nights, but I thought the other night, especially against Monticello, he had a pretty balanced scoring night.” Van Natter on Friday scored six to eight points in each and every quarter. “There was no standout quarter where he put up a lot of his points; he just kind of let the offense come to him,” Washburn said, “which is where we’re gonna be most effective...he’ just adding to everyone else.” Kyle Williams between the two games averaged 15 points per game after leading Powhatan with 14 against Charlottesville and then contributing 16 against Monticello. Chipper Ford chipped in 10 on Friday to put three Powhatan Basketball players in the double-digits. “When we can put three guys in double-figures,” Washburn said, “we feel as though that gives us our best chance to win.” It was a continued display of the team depth that Powhatan also showed on Thursday when it had NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY eight different players score in the first half versus Powhatan’s Kyle Williams drives to the basket Charlottesville.

Powhatan GBB gets win over Monticello Indians take 1-2 stretch, improve season to 7-4 By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor
P
OWHATAN -- Powhatan Girls Basketball this past week split its two games on the road, bouncing back from a rough 84-33 loss to beat Monticello 52-39 and improve to 7-4 prior to Monday’s game at Midlothian. “Friday we bounced back really nice,” Powhatan head coach Kristy Henderson said Sunday. “The girls responded really well. I’m very proud of them.” Coach Henderson described the victory over Monticello as a “good team win.” Freshman Faith Henderson continued a strong first varsity season on Friday, leading the Indians with 17 points. Senior standout Maggie Salomonsky delivered 12 points, and junior Reese Vandell, Coach Henderson said, “had the best game she’s had all season.” She shot four-for-five from the field with a pair of three-pointers. “She came off the bench, played a lot of minutes and handled the pressure,” Coach Henderson said. “It was a big game for her; it was good to see that. Hopefully she can continue this down the line here.” Coach Henderson said that her players did a nice job of pressuring Monticello, and that they’re doing better with not letting things like turnovers affect them in a domino-effect type of fashion. She also pointed to the improvement in atmosphere from Thursday to Friday. “We came out flat, we came out slow, I just felt like we were a half-asecond behind on Thursday,” Coach Henderson said. “But Friday was a different story. It was a little more excitement for us and better atmosphere and...we were the ones controlling the tempo on Friday night, which was not the case on Thursday night.” The Indians continued their fourgame road stretch in six days with games against Midlothian on Monday and Western Albemarle on Tuesday. They return home this Friday, Jan. 11 versus Charlottesville at 7:30 p.m. “Midlothian is a region game for us and Western Albemarle’s pretty good,” Coach Henderson said, “and then we have to redeem ourselves hopefully on Friday against Charlottesville.” Powhatan will also play home games versus Hanover on Monday, Jan. 14 (look for updated game time on www.jeffersondistrict.org) and Orange County on Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 7:30 p.m.

game at Douglas Freeman High School. The last time the two teams met in early December, Patrick Henry was able to put together a dominant 57-34 effort against the Indians. But this time around, Powhatan went toe-to-toe with the Patriots through the first half, led as late as the third quarter and showed itself to be much-improved since its Dec. 5 game at Patrick Henry. “We were way better,” said Powhatan Girls Basketball head coach Kristy Henderson, who pointed to her players’ hard work and strong defensive effort in holding the Patriots to 17 points in the first half. “Offensively we struggled tonight to put the ball in the hole, but the effort was there, and the intensity was there, and that’s what I needed from them…tough loss, good game.” Behind Haverkamp’s 20 and six three’s, Logan Nuckols made three shots from behind the arc and netted 15 points total, and the Patriots in the second half assembled a couple of key runs, including one for 10 points in the third quarter, to pull away from the Indians. “They have some excellent basketball players and great shooters,” Coach Henderson said of the Patriots while adding: “It hurts when they make wideJOEL KLEIN/RICHMOND SUBURBAN NEWS open three’s and we miss our widePowhatan Girls Basketball’s Charlotte Kramer (#44) works to defend a open three’s, and they hit another one layup attempted by Patrick Henry’s Jessica Osuanah. and we don’t, and then it takes a minute to get back into it.” Senior Maggie Salomonsky gained The freshman duo of Faith Hender- run. steam in the second half with a pair of Faith poured in 10 points for Powthree-pointers in the third quarter to son and Kayla Terry combined to give lead Powhatan with 16 points on Fri- Powhatan a five-point go-ahead stretch hatan in the fourth quarter, including day.

PURPOSE OF NOTICE: To seek public comment on a draft permit from the Department of Environmental Quality that will allow the release of treated wastewater into a water body in Powhatan, Virginia. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: January 9, 2019 to 11:59p.m. February 8, 2019. PERMIT NAME: Virginia Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit - Wastewater issued by DEQ, under the authority of the State Water Control Board. APPLICANT NAME, ADDRESS AND PERMIT NUMBER: Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Academy; 2501 Academy Road, Powhatan, VA 23139; VA0063037. FACILITY NAME AND LOCATION: Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Academy; 2501 Academy Road, Powhatan, VA 23139. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Academy has applied for reissuance of a permit for the private Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Academy. The applicant proposes to release treated sewage wastewater at a rate of 4,000 gallons per day into a water body. Sludge from the treatment process will be hauled to a permitted wastewater treatment facility. The facility proposes to release the treated sewage wastewater into an unnamed tributary of Branch Creek in Powhatan County in the James River watershed. A watershed is the land area drained by a river and its incoming streams. The permit will limit the following pollutants to amounts that protect water quality: chlorine, ammonia, organic matter, bacteria, and solids. HOW TO COMMENT AND/OR REQUEST A PUBLIC HEARING: DEQ accepts comments and requests for public hearing by hand-delivery, e-mail, fax or postal mail. All comments and requests must be in writing and be received by DEQ during the comment period. Submittals must include the names, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of the commenter/requester and of all persons represented by the commenter/requester. A request for public hearing must also include: 1) The reason why a public hearing is requested. 2) A brief, informal statement regarding the nature and extent of the interest of the requester or of those represented by the requester, including how and to what extent such interest would be directly and adversely affected by the permit. 3) Specific references, where possible, to terms and conditions of the permit with suggested revisions. A public hearing may be held, including another comment period, if public response is significant, based on individual requests for a public hearing, and there are substantial, disputed issues relevant to the permit. CONTACT FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS, DOCUMENT REQUESTS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Mr. Joseph Bryan; Piedmont Regional Office, 4949-A Cox Road, Glen Allen, Virginia, 23060; Phone: 804-527-5012; E-mail: Joseph.Bryan@de q.virginia.gov; Fax: 804-527-5106.
