Workgroup tries to crack R-C issue By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – The newly formed R-C zoning workgroup had a productive first meeting last week as they wrestled with the issue of how to serve both the county as a whole and individuals in the question of whether to eliminate a zoning district. The group met for the first time on Monday, Jan. 7 with 14 members present to discuss the issue of Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning. The county has been considering doing away with R-C, which would affect 509 parcels in the county, but recent pushback from R-C property owners and developers has slowed the process. The workgroup was appointed on Thursday, Dec. 13 by the Powhatan

The R-C workgroup meets for the first time on Jan. 7 and attempts how to deal with the issue of Residential-Commercial zoning, which the county wants to eliminate. Not everyone is happy about that decision.

County Board of Supervisors. Chair Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, asked a committee made up of two board members and R-C property owners, developers, and everyday citizens to serve on the workgroup. He charged them with analyzing the effects of the proposed elimination of R-C; determining if there was a better way to accomplish the board’s mission of exerting more control in how the county develops, and answer how to equitably help landowners who may be adversely affected if the board ultimately decides to eliminate the zoning district. The main reasons the county has cited in its consideration of R-C zoning’s elimination is that it promotes small, non-cohesive, development along Route 60, which is the county’s “Gold Vein” for see ZONING, pg. 4

10-year-old Bryleigh Roop allergic to food Bill introduced By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – For most of 10-year-old Bryleigh Roop’s life, food has been the enemy of her body. While some people use that phrase when referring to metabolism or weight loss issues, in Bryleigh’s case, it is not an exaggeration to say she is allergic to food. At this point that category includes all food, although her family is hoping that will change for her. Bryleigh, the daughter of Brian and Favienne “Favi” Roop of Powhatan, suffers from a chronic and rare autoimmune disease called eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). According to the Mayo Clinic, EoE occurs when a type of white blood cell (eosinophil) builds up in the lining of the esophagus as a reaction to foods, allergens or acid reflux and can inflame or injure the esophageal tissue. This can lead to difficulty swallowing or cause food to get stuck when the person swallows. It has been identified only in the past two decades, but is now considered a major cause of gastrointestinal illness. Research is ongoing and will likely lead to revisions in the diagnosis and treatment of eosinophilic esophagitis. As soon as the Roops began introducing Bryleigh to solid foods at about 14 months old, she started getting sick every

POWHATAN – A bill introduced in the General Assembly last week calls for the Virginia Department of Transportation to update a 20-year-old study of Route 60 across the length of six counties. Sen. Mark Peake, R-22, is the chief patron on Senate Joint Resolution 260, which was introduced on Wednesday, Jan. 9. Del. Lee Ware, R-65, has also signed on as a patron. The resolution seeks to have the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) update a 1999 study entitled “Route 60 Corridor Study: Amherst, Nelson, Appomattox, Buckingham, Cumberland, and Powhatan Counties.”

Powhatan Tax-Aide gearing up to help residents By Laura McFarland POWHATAN – While many people are already dreading the coming tax season, a dedicated group of volunteers are preparing to make the process a little easier for some Powhatan residents. Powhatan’s 10 AARP Tax-Aide volunteers are currently going through training and preparing for the real start of their tax season when the group starts offering their services on Friday, Feb. 1 at Powhatan County Public Library, said Beth Fulcher, local coordinator for Powhatan site. Powhatan’s location of AARP TaxAide, the nation’s largest free, volunteerrun tax assistance service, offers free tax return services to elderly and low- and moderate-income taxpayers. In 2018, tax counselors and greeters, who take turns volunteering at the location at the library, prepared 589 tax returns, while across the state, Tax-Aide volunteers prepared 47,500 returns, Fulcher said.

Tax counselors will meet with clients for free but by appointment from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every Wednesday and Friday through April 12 at the library. They file state and federal returns for free electronically. Fulcher warned that looking ahead to this tax season, because of tax law changes, people who have traditionally itemized in the past will likely not do it this year because the standard deduction has been raised significantly. “We tried to tell people that last year as they came in but it is a good idea to say it a again. The standard deduction went up from what it was last year so you have an even higher threshold to have to beat for standard deduction than you did in the past,” she said. “It will help most people – so we are told. It also means that fewer people will itemize deductions.” Fulcher also said that a tax rate schedule change may lead to taxpayers seeing lower returns than expected. Employees may have noticed an increase in their pay-

checks last February because of changes in the payroll withholding tables under the new federal tax law. However, some businesses may not have been withholding enough from paychecks, meaning some taxpayers could either owe more in taxes than they’d typically expect when they file their 2018 returns or could receive a smaller tax refund. see TAX-AIDE, pg. 7

Nordvig cited by electoral board By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A member of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors was officially warned last month by the electoral board for what they called a violation of the state elections code. A letter dated Dec. 5, 2018, was sent to Larry Nordvig, who represents District 2, and signed by all three electoral board members, whose job it is to review complaints. The letter states a complaint was received on Nov. 16 by Karen Alexander, director of elections, from the Powhatan County Democratic Committee. The complaint included witness statements identifying violations of the 40-foot prohibited area, according to the letter. “Said witnesses identified several instances whereby you were seen crossing over the Prohibited Area while interacting with voters who were waiting in line to cast their ballot,” the letter read. The document went on to warn Nordvig that as an elected official, he is allowed to enter the polling lo-

cation “but you cannot loiter within the Prohibited Area.” “Additionally, officials cannot hinder or delay a person from entering or leaving a polling place. Accompanying voters through the line and beyond the 40 foot Prohibited Area could be construed as hindering the progress of the line,” it read. According to the letter, the electoral board reviewed the witness statements, including the precinct chief, and found Nordvig in violation of state code. The letter was meant to serve as an official notice that the Powhatan Electoral Board found Nordvig in violation of the Code of Virginia §24.2-604. “At this time, no further action will be taken but any future violations will be reported to Powhatan’s Commonwealth’s Attorney for further action,” the letter read. Electoral board chair Cecil Jordan declined additional comment, saying the letter speaks for itself. Andrea Weber, secretary, said the letter was meant to make sure Nordvig knew he was in violation according to the election laws. “It would have gone to any elect-

ed official who had the same kind of behavior. I don’t think anything was intentional, but with the way that things are going around the country with election laws, we just needed to make sure that Powhatan was maintaining the history of integrity it has had with its elections,” she said. Nordvig said in an email response that his accuser mistakenly assumed he was either campaigning or working the polls but added that neither was true. He said he was there conversing with friends and neighbors on his own time at what he thought was a respectable distance at the edge of the parking lot. “I did briefly respond to a friend in line outdoors, I believe, who initiated conversation as I returned from the restroom, but isn’t it odd that I was singled out when several others were talking in the same area? This makes me certain I was targeted for political reasons,” said Nordvig, who called it bringing “the dirty tactics of D.C. into Powhatan.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

throat and stomach hurt. Just a few bites in and she couldn’t swallow food. No matter what they did, the problems didn’t go away. At a doctor’s recommendation, the family even tried letting her “just be a kid” and eat normal food for awhile, but that only amplified her symptoms, Roop said. While Bryleigh can’t remember all the way back to the beginning of her struggles, she recalled around age 5 only “feeling sick and never wanting to go anywhere because I felt so bad.”

Above, Favi Roop, her daughter Bryleigh, and friend Maddie Adams attend an Imagine Dragons concert in summer 2018. Below, Bryleigh plays on a giant slide in Smale Park in Cincinnati.

The diagnosis Finally, at the age of 7, Bryleigh was referred to an immunologist at MCV Children's Hospital and a pediatric gastroenterologist. Within a week the family finally had a diagnosis – eosinophilic esophagitis. “Her symptoms had gone untreated for so long that she now had a large ulcer in her stomach, a hiatal hernia in her esophagus and her throat was nearly blocked by white blood cells,” Roop said. Bryleigh was immediately placed on an elimination diet of the top four allergens (eggs, wheat, dairy and nuts) and prescribed with six new medications, which made her total daily intake of meds too high for comfort for her mom. In the three years that followed, Bryleigh endured 12 endoscopies, steroid therapy, allergy testing, food challenges, several elimination diets and food trials. Finally she was told to completely eliminate some of the top allergens (eggs, wheat, soy, nuts, tree nuts, melons, dairy, sesame, gluten, fish, corn). Only doctors didn’t just mean to eliminate those foods from Bryleigh’s diet; they weren’t even supposed to be in the house, Roop said. Suddenly, her parents and older brother Jackson were also on the restrictive diet. “Our house, just like any other, revolves around the kitchen. When we were told to completely eliminate this massive list of ingredients our heads were spinning and our grocery bill went from $500 a month to nearly $1,800

overnight,” Roop said. For her part, Bryleigh was of two minds over the diagnosis. She said she didn’t want to talk to anyone for awhile after she found out because having the disease made her feel different and she didn’t want people to know about it. At the same time, she appreciated that her family was willing to go on such a restrictive diet for her. “They wouldn’t eat what I couldn’t eat. It felt really good because they were doing it with me,” she said. But the problems still weren’t going away. Bryleigh had been through treatment for so long without relief that she was very close to permanent damage, Roop said. Her allergy/immunology and EoE specialists at MCV ran out of ideas and options. “Bryleigh is the one-ina-million case,” she said. In 2017, Roop learned about the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Center for Eosinophilic Disorders in Ohio and took Bryleigh there for evaluation in June 2018. CCED is a research and treatment facility that specializes in the whole health of children who suf-

fer from eosinophilic disorders. This trip led to two huge changes for the family. Doctors there told the Roops that it was unnecessary for them to remove all foods from the house and restrict themselves to Bryleigh’s diet. But while they got their food privileges back, Bryleigh lost them – all of them. The Ohio doctors put Bryleigh on a total food elimination diet. She had been supplementing her diet with EleCare Jr., an elemental hypoallergenic formula, for three years, but suddenly it became her sole source of nutrition, Roop said. Bryleigh was placed on a feeding tube, which she could have the rest of her life. After having a naso-gastric tube for three months she switched to a G-tube on Oct. 8. “We call it her second belly button,” Roop said. The only exception to Bryleigh’s all-formula diet is a few approved types of candy, grape and cherry Kool-Aid, and one new food that can be introduced one at a time as part of successive three-month trial periods. This process has had some ups and downs. Bryleigh’s first choice was beef because she wanted a meat and she and her dad both like beef. However, when doctors said complete elimination they meant it. So if Bryleigh slips and has something other than beef, which has happened a few times, the three-month trial period starts all over. The same will go for other foods as they are introduced and added to the list of foods that have been cleared. “If you put yourself on a diet where you are telling yourself I am going to go

work out every day, you usually don’t do it. Willpower is very tough. And we are asking a 10-yearold to not give in to any of her impulses or wants of anything,” Roop said. Still, with the exception of those few slips, Bryleigh has been gaining some needed weight and her symptoms have disappeared. Roop said they can tell immediately when the little girl slips up because the physical symptoms are

economic development; allows for limited citizen input, and promotes piecemeal development since by-right development is often followed by rezonings for the rest of a project. Larry Nordvig, District 2, chairs the workgroup, which met for about two hours last week and covered a wide range of topics. In addition to the discussion among the 14 committee members, Nordvig also added two public comment periods to allow those not on the committee to voice their opinions, raise concerns, ask questions and even make suggestions to address the issue at hand. At the end of the meeting, the workgroup was not ready to make a recommendation to the board

of supervisors on the issue of R-C zoning. A second meeting was not scheduled by press time.

A long history At the meeting, it was evident there was still a lack of general knowledge about R-C zoning and its potential elimination. Andrew Pompei and longtime resident Dan Jones gave a little history of the issue to make sure everyone understood. The board of supervisors created the R-C zoning district on Feb. 13, 1984 and applied it to all properties within 500 feet of Route 60 between the Chesterfield County line and Route 522, Pompei explained. At the time, it was meant to encourage economic development. Jones pointed out that when the board was adopt-

ing the new zoning district in 1984, the scope of the plan changed several times and originally included 1,200 feet on either side of Route 60 in Powhatan from the Chesterfield to Cumberland County lines and also along Route 522 from Route 60 to the Goochland County line. In 1990, a request to reduce the amount of land zoned R-C was voted down by the board but R-C landowners could rezone to a lower-intensity zoning district for free. Since the R-C zoning district was first created and applied, Powhatan County has experienced significant population growth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from 13,602 in 1980 to 29,046 in 2010 Pompei said. In August 2018, the board of supervisors revised the permitted and conditional uses of R-C, severely limiting it from what it once was. Some of the permitted uses for the R-C District that were removed include community center, adult day care center, private or public school, veterinary clinic, restaurant with drivethrough services, specialty eating or drinking establishment, country club, funeral home, convenience store, drugstore, liquor store, shopping center, or carwash. Some but not all of them were changed to permitted conditional use items. On Nov. 7, the planning commission voted 3-1-1 to recommend approval of an amendment that would eliminate R-C zoning. However, when the issue came before the supervisors with a great deal of pushback, the board decided to form the workgroup to allow for more citizen input.

Pros and cons The workgroupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discussion varied but still came back to the question of how to find a balance between the property

rights of individuals and developing Powhatan in a way that makes the community inviting to potential businesses, more valuable to existing businesses and attractive to residents and visitors. One of the first things Nordvig had the workgroup do is discuss the positive and negative impacts of eliminating R-C on everyone involved. Some of the arguments against having R-C were that it would allow the county to craft approval of properties that are in harmony with the county; mean more predictability in what is coming versus by-right developments; optimizing safety through better access management and traffic planning, and allowing for the incorporation of SMART Scale applications into a strategic planning effort to leverage state funding opportunities for key improvements. Other benefits included avoiding piecemeal development that has no inner connectivity; improving design standards and having more cohesive projects; increasing property values through consistent, better-looking and functioning development; allowing for proffers to offset transportation costs and right-of-way-dedications for future road expansions, and reducing the amount of time county staff has to spend on issues created by R-C zoning. A few said it is by-right zoning in general that is the issue because it hinders transparency for the public and limits what the county can do to ensure safe, cohesive development. The main arguments against the elimination of R-C zoning centered on lost property value if properties are rezoned to Agricultural-10 (A-10) instead of Commerce Center (CC); the government wanting too much control on what landowners can

do with their land; and downzoning of property making it more difficult to find a business willing to take a chance it can be rezoned later to meet commercial needs. When arguing for keeping the R-C and against the idea that there is no oversight, Pete Burruss, a land surveyor, said that even when projects come in by-right, they still have to go through site reviews with the county staff and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) as well as other steps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My philosophy is these things tend to affect the taking of property. It is an effective way for government to take your property,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Property value Property value is a touchy subject, especially when landowners believe the value of their land will be diminished. Many people who came to the planning commission and board of supervisors meetings in the late fall said they had invested in land for their future and downzoning to A-10 will rob them of that investment. At the heart of this issue is how people are looking at that value. Properties reclassified A-10, which is the base zoning of most of the county, 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. Many landowners see that move as reducing the value of their land. Jamie Timberlake, commissioner of the revenue, was in the audience at the meeting and argued against that idea. Assessed value is a very broad brush mass valuation based on sales data from the previous 12 to 18 months with â&#x20AC;&#x153;like properties,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The purpose of assessments is to fairly and uniformly spread the tax burden over a given area. Fair market value is what a willing seller will accept from a willing buyer, in which case neither party is under duress, he said. The market is driving by many factors but assessment is not one of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What it will do is lower the assessed value on some properties which should allow the current owner to pay less taxes until which time a more intense use requires a rezoning,â&#x20AC;? he said. In a separate interview, Timberlake said that it will drop some property values where the comprehensive plan no longer supports commercial/more intense rezonings. But the areas that already had commercial â&#x20AC;&#x153;market potential/valueâ&#x20AC;? will not lose the market potential value just because the county changes the existing zoning to a lower intensity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as the comp plan and future land use support the proposed use the market potential is essentially still the same,â&#x20AC;? he said. Nordvig said he spoke with an appraiser about how the issue and was told appraisers look for the highest and best use as long as it is legally permissible, financially feasible, physically possible and the most productive for the dollar. Comparative sales are also considered. Timberlake was also asked how R-C being eliminated could affect the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax rate. Although he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have firm numbers yet, he estimated the cost in lost taxes because of downzoning would be less than one cent on the tax rate.

Fair and equitable One of the key questions in regard to eliminating R-C is about what zonsee ZONING, pg. 5

Powhatan starts pursuit that leads to murder suspectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrest By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A police pursuit that started early in the morning of Jan. 9 in Powhatan County ended in the quick arrest of a suspect in a Chesterfield homicide. George Thomas Buschmann, 34, of no permanent address was arrested at the end of a police pursuit across several counties and has since been charged with the first-degree murder of Robert S. Gooch IV, 34, of Chesterfield. Gooch, a U.S. Army officer, was shot multiple times on the evening of Tuesday, Jan. 8 at a Wawa gas station off of Hull Street Road in Chesterfield, according to a release from Chesterfield Police. He was with his 13-yearold daughter at the time. After the shooting, which occurred a little after 7 p.m., Gooch was taken to the hospital but died from his injuries. At about 1:15 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 9, Powhatan deputy Phillip Barden attempted to

stop a silver 2007 Toyota traveling eastbound on Route 60 for speeding, said Anne G. Reynolds, crime analyst. The driver failed to stop and a pursuit ensued. During the pursuit, Barden called in the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tags, which came back stolen. The pursuit continued into Chesterfield County, Richmond City and culminated in Henrico County when spike strips were deployed. He was taken into custody without incident. During the pursuit, Barden had just followed the suspect into Richmond when Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in the chase was terminated because of the number of other officers. The top speed during the pursuit was 100 mph but that did not last long, Reynolds said. When Buschmann was taken into custody in Henrico, it was determined at that time that he was a suspect in the homicide at Wawa hours earlier, Reynolds said. Gooch was a father of three who grew up in the Richmond area, according to a family

obvious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She understands but she wants to be a normal kid,â&#x20AC;? Roop said. To that end, they encourage Bryleigh in all of the activities she loves that help distract her from food, Roop said. She has more than 400 stuffed animals, loves painting, arts and crafts, geology, chemistry and doing science experiments. She was in the Homebound program at the start of the school year but now attends Pocahontas Elementary School as a regular fifth-grader. She plays basketball with Powhatan Pulse. Roop said their son, 12-year-old Jackson, has also been a huge support for his little sister, whether it is staying up overnight when she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;plugged inâ&#x20AC;? while she sleeps and making sure she has her medicine, playing together, or simply understanding when her health needs eclipse everything else.

Fighting for care The fight to get first a diagnosis and then proper medical care for Bryleigh has represented a big strain on the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. Her formula alone averages $45 a day and is not covered by the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance.

Recently, Bryleigh Roop started selling her art to help with her medical bills. The family set up a Facebook page for Bryleigh Roop Art to sell the art.

Also not covered are their trips to the Ohio hospital, which is out of network. Roop said she is appealing the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. Their current hospital bill for each visit to the Ohio facility is $12,000, and doctors say the total elimination diet will likely take years. The familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated health care in 2019 will be close to $100,000 without coverage, Roop said. Each visit to CCED will have to be pre-approved and can be denied. Bryleigh has been seen by the in-network specialists the insurance company referred the family to as providing â&#x20AC;&#x153;similar coverage,â&#x20AC;? all of which have not been effective, she added.

member. He joined the navy and later was commissioned into the army as an officer after he earned his bachelor's degree. Gooch had been stationed at Fort Belvoir in Northern Virginia and would have retired on Friday, Jan. 11 as a major. According to Chesterfield police, the investigation indicates that Buschmann and Gooch did not know each other and did not speak to each other during the incident. Police continue to investigate. Buschmann has been charged with firstdegree murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, grand larceny of a motor vehicle, felony eluding, possession of a firearm after being involuntarily committed, and transporting a firearm while being subject to a protective order. On Jan. 11, a Chesterfield County judge ordered a mental evaluation of Buschmann. Reed Williams and Mark Bowes contributed to this story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have documentation and letters from several stating medical necessity for this special formula and to be seen by CCED. Cigna has continued to deny our claims despite the research and pleas from our doctors,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though we struggle with Cigna we will continue to take her to CCED. It is imperative that we continue with the treatment that works.â&#x20AC;? Roop said her family falls into the category of making just enough money to cover usual expenses and not qualify for assistance so it is still not enough to pay for their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment. Brian is a lineman and Favi is a stay-at-home mom and takes Bryleigh to all of her appointments. The family has a GoFundMe page where friends and family have donated more than $5,000 toward a $50,000 fundraising goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has been so fantastic. Our entire community has been great,â&#x20AC;? Roop said. For more information, visit the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising website, www.gofundme.com/ bryleigh-roop-needs-your-help. Bryleigh is also trying to help her family by selling art that she and her mom make together to help take her mind off of the stress of her disease. Roop created a Facebook page called Bryleigh Roop Art to help the little girl sell her paintings. Contact bryleighroopart@gmail. com.

The purpose of the report was to identify major problem areas along the Route 60 Corridor with respect to the estimated year 2020 traffic demand and to recommend roadway improvements that would enhance traffic movement and safety, according to the bill. The Route 60 Corridor includes the Route 29 Bypass in Amherst County to west of Route 522 in Powhatan County, a distance of about 68 miles. According to the resolution, the residential, retail, and industrial development along the Route 60 Corridor has increased exponentially since the report was drafted and a new assessment is necessary to adequately assess the Route 60 Corridor's increased traffic demand and subsequent recommended roadway improvements. If passed as written, it would instruct VDOT to review and update the report while taking into consideration the increased residential, retail, and industrial development along the corridor and the accompanying increased traffic volume; the shift from a primarily rural facility to a semi-urban section through more developed areas; and whether the existing alignment is adequate throughout most of the corridor. It would have a deadline of Nov. 30 to complete the study and present its findings and recommendations no later than the first day of the 2020 Regular Session of the General Assembly. Peake said he also introduced this bill in 2018 but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go anywhere. see ROUTE 60, pg. 8

owhatan Extension Office coordinated a Farm Day for more than 300 students last fall in celebration of Farm to School Month. However, Extension could not have pulled it off without the volunteers from the local agriculture community who dedicated the day to teaching students the benefits of agriculture. More than 32 volunteers manned 17 stations where students got to touch live animals, such as a goat, chicken or cow, make butter, observe live bees, or simply play a game as they learned about trees. Following their “day at the farm,” third-grade teachers at Powhatan County Public Schools (PCPS) unanimously agreed that participation increased their students’ awareness of agriculture.

A man in suspenders and his little world By Laura McFarland News Editor

uring the holiday season, Christmas lights are usually the main attraction. When they are big and bold and out there for everyone to see, they can make for a great night out with family or friends. But while I love that experience and did go look at lights several times over the last holiday season, one of my favorite kinds of Christmas decorations tends to be a more private endeavor – little miniature villages. During my search for homes to feature on the Powered Up Powhatan Christmas light list, I came across one family that is as over-the-top fun about decorating indoors as they are outside, including a truly wonderful little Christmas village display. It is not something you would find in my home because there is absolutely no space to take on that kind of hobby. It doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be cool. In December, I was tempted when I went to a local dollar store and saw some really cute little buildings that could have gotten me started on an unnecessary new hobby and while not being too costly, but, thankfully, I channeled my inner Bird Box (even if you haven’t seen the movie you’ve likely seen the memes) and pretended I was wearing a blindfold and those little things didn’t exist. But, oh, was it tempting. I suppose the appeal – besides their utter cuteness – is a feeling of nostalgia for me. When I think of little

villages like that, it is not usually in the context of Christmas but family. My grandfather loved model trains and built a truly fantastic one at his home in Texas. I remember loving the trains but also was fascinated by the detail he and my grandmother, who was an artist, put into the small town within those tiny railroad tracks. While I don’t know if it was a specific place they were building, the setting was probably modeled after the area in west Texas where he would go deer hunting. It had mountains and a tunnel the train could go through. There were lakes with bridges over them. Every time we visited their house the display was likely to have changed in some way. It might have been small changes such as a new person or car, or he could have gotten a bee in his bonnet and made a major overhaul of some kind. You really never knew. Maybe when we got there my grandmother was fiddling with one of the little trees to get it just right. Going into the train room was a great experience, but not without rules. A man doesn’t spend the kind of hours he did on that train and not get a little (OK, very) protective of it. Like many hobbies, it was a source of pride, consternation, and joy. One minute everything was fine and the next one of the trains wasn’t running properly. My mom said that Papaw loved trains when she was younger but life likely interrupted. I am not sure how much of his love of that train set was borne out of his background working in the rail-

L E T T E R TO T H E E D I TO R

road industry. Papaw worked about 30 years for the railroads, first for Southern Pacific and then for Houston Belt and Terminal. He worked as a switchman, yardmaster and train master, which is what he was doing when he medically retired in 1978 because of heart problems. His real focus on the train hobby was renewed several years later when his health had improved, and he would spend hours in his train room. It made him relaxed and jovial. He loved to bring people into the room to show it off. On a note of personal pride, as a child I gave Papaw a Big Mouth Billy Bass, which is a plastic mounted fish that sang “Don’t Worry Be Happy.” That thing hung on the wall over his train set for years, and – even though the music was probably turned off a good portion of the time – it made me feel good to see it there in a room that brought him so much joy. It was really sad when poor health again made taking care of his model train set too hard for my grandfather and he gave most of it away to a relative. Though he has been gone many years and that train set is only a memory, it has remained with me. And when I see the pride people take in their cute little villages, whether they are seasonal or year-round, it reminds me of a tall old man wearing suspenders and a plaid shirt sitting on a stool by his own little world and it just makes me smile.

TAX-AIDE Regarding the federal government shutdown, Fulcher said Tax-Aide volunteers had not received any information on how it might affect the process so they are proceeding as normal. Russell T. Vought, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, told reporters that federal income tax refunds would go out, but there have been questions about this stance when only about 12 percent of IRS staff is expected to continue working through a shutdown. Fulcher said some people have already been calling to make appointments but they are urged not to do so until they have all of their tax documents in hand. Taxpayers are reminded to bring several items in order to have their tax return prepared: picture ID

for taxpayer and spouse; Social Security Card for all individuals on the return; last year’s tax return; all documents pertaining to their income; all documents/receipts pertaining to expenses such as medical, tax, charity, and business; any childcare expenses including provider name and ID number; checkbook or other official bank document showing bank account and routing number for direct deposit, and two copies of any power of attorney, divorce decree allowing dependent claim for tax purposes, and complex broker statements. The tax returns are submitted electronically. The volunteers cannot do tax returns for Schedule E - rental property, Schedule F-farm or casualty loss.

Should Residential-Commercial zoning be eliminated? Dear Editor, The R-C (Residential – Commercial) zone was created in the 1980’s by the Board of Supervisors to foster development along Route 60 and is unique to Powhatan. Powhatan has grown substantially since then and growth has been strongly weighted toward residential (92 percent). County leadership is responsible for directing the growth of the county for the next 20 years and as such realize changes are needed to manage growth and to continue to foster commercial development in the county. Route 60 is the county’s main “engine of commercial growth” into the future. It is the main thoroughfare for residents, commerce and tourists and must meet the needs of each. County leadership has redefined how properties currently zoned R-C need to change but land owners and developers are concerned that the proposed changes will de-value their investment, will dictate what they can build on their land, make the property less desirable, and will have wasted tax money paying for premier land through the years which will be worth less on the market if sold. County leadership has proposed a plan to mitigate the perceived negatives seen by landowners and developers; however, they aren’t buying it. From the county’s perspective, here are some drawbacks to the R-C zone and why it needs to be changed: By-right development is inclusive in R-C zoning. By-right means no rezoning is required and therefore: No public hearing = no transparency for the project; No proffers = taxpayers will pay for infrastructure and facilities moves, adds or changes associated with the project; No contribution to SMART Scale projects = reduced opportunity to have state monies pay for roadway improvements; No land dedication opportunity = offering property frontage if/when Route 60 is increased to six lanes; Piece-meal development = when a portion of property is initially developed by- right and at a later date the remainder of the property is developed requiring a complete site plan and rezoning including the R-C portion. This creates major problems as the previously approved development is already built and inplace and can’t be changed for incorporation into the new project. Examples: CVS and Stoneridge (Luck Stone).

The issue posed by landowners regarding decreased land value isn’t accurate. Property value is based on a few things; assessed value, market value and location. Assessed value is the value placed on the property by the county and usually lags behind market value from months to a year or more after rezoning. Another factor is the location. Powhatan is a "prime" location with substantial growth so it is desirable for development and investment, meaning a high market value. With a rezoning the whole or a portion of the property may have a lower assessment but a strong market value. Eventually it all evens out. It's like anything else – an item is worth what people are willing to pay. As for any "lost" tax revenue, the commissioner of revenue stated in a recent workshop that a reassessment due to “down-zoning” would reduce real estate taxes for the subject properties by about $300,000. However, any loss would be made up over time as the properties are developed and/or assessments catch up with market value. No one is losing out. In summary, holding an investment for 10, 20, 30 years or more and expecting nothing changes with respect to what the county needs in the future or residents want for their county is unrealistic. Commercial development along Route 60 has been slow in coming, as evidenced by “for sale” signs appearing year after year with few buyers and or development. So, the question is; does the county sit by, wait and let landowners and developers (less than .5 percent of the county’s population) plan the future of the county or does county leadership make necessary changes to bring zoning along Route 60 in line consistent with how other properties are defined and managed? An R-C Zoning Workgroup has been formed to address these issues. District 2 Supervisor Larry Nordvig is the group’s Chairman.

OWHATAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center in Powhatan recently held its annual Christmas party for the volunteers and supporters who help further the mission of giving therapy rides to veterans. At this event on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018, Roddy Davoud of Virginians for Veterans presented Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center (LDEC) with a $20,000 check, said Karen Ylimaki, secretary treasurer. Lonesome Dove offers free therapeutic horseback rides to veterans with disabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a present. This will help continue our mission of putting veterans on horseback and to upgrade the facility,â&#x20AC;? Ylimaki said. The next project on the list for upgrading the facility is new fencing, which Ylimaki estimates will cost about $250,000. The fence will help beautify the property and tie in with plans to start renting out the facility for meetings, weddings and other events starting in the spring to help the nonprofit become more self-sustaining. Also in the works, the nonprofitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, https://ldequestrian. com, is being revamped. Virginians For Veterans (V4V) is a charity formed by a group of Richmond business leaders to raise funds for specific local and regional veteran support groups, said Roddy Davoud of Powhatan, one of the founders. Also on the board are Thomas Thayer and Robert Norton of Powhatan and Richard Lee and Marc Allocca of Henrico. All of the charities that V4V supports return a minimum of 83 percent of the charityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donations to the troops. Additionally, 100 percent of the operating costs for V4V other than the cost of an annual golf tourna-

ment fundraiser are paid directly by its directors. The group held its seventh annual golf tournament in September 2018 at The Foundry Golf Club and to date has raised in excess of $925,000, Davoud said. Visit www.virginiansforveterans. org for more information. V4V supports four primary veterans support rt groups, including Lonesome Dove. Each of those four charities received $25,000 in 2018. Lonesome Dove is new in 2018 and received $5,000 before the $20,000 check was presented in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we support them is that they are a local charity that does great things for veterans on a minimal budget. We also support other local individuals and charities upon request,â&#x20AC;? Davoud said. When Davoud attended the party to present the check, he also brought his father-in-law, Russell Scott, a 98-year-old World War II veteran, POW, and Purple Heart recipient who volunteers at the Virginia War Memorial every week. The Christmas party, which was held by LDECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors, was for volunteers and supporters who help further the mission of the nonprofit. In addition to Virginians for Veterans, other groups who came to celebrate Lonesome Dove included the Steel Warriors Veterans Motorcycle Club, the Grey Socks Club, the Mechanicsville VFW and Combat Vets Motorcycle Club, all of which are supporters of the charity and mission. Ylimaki said the party was to say thank you to the supporters and volunteers because â&#x20AC;&#x153;we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do Lonesome Dove without them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that simple.â&#x20AC;? Another special guest was LDECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest horse, a miniature horse named Trouble, who Ylimaki said is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little love bug. He also does tricks.â&#x20AC;? He was a rescue

The impetus for getting it updated came from Cumberland County Board of Supervisors member David Meinhard, who was asking back when Peake was a member of the Commonwealth Transportation Board about the widening of Route 60 and continued to make the request even after Peake was elected as a senator. Peake learned about the 1999 study and decided to request having it updated. He said it was not driven by the potential landfill being proposed in Cumberland County near the Powhatan County line but by concerns in Cumberland about enhancing opportunities for economic development. When he learned about the bill, Ware signed on to ensure that Powhatan citizens are represented in any subsequent deliberations should the joint resolution be adopted, he said in an email. In regard to the actual need for the study, he said he is in constant communication with VDOT officials, including recent developments with the prospect of increased traffic on Route 60 should the landfill proposed for Cumberland come to pass. To that end, he said he does not feel strongly one way or the other that the study needs to be updated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senator Peake so recommends, and since his legislation could affect us, I want to make sure Powhatan is represented,â&#x20AC;? Ware said. At the local level, Powhatan County Board of Supervisors Chair Carson

and now has as a new life offering equine therherapy to veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He iss a hit with everyone and is great withh those vetterans who justt cannot get on a horse,â&#x20AC;? she said. Lonesome Dove is also seeking volunteers for its 2019 season of helping volunteers to help with sessions with veterans participating in equine therapy. Helpers are needed starting at 10 a.m. on Jan. 16, and 22, Feb. 5, 13 and 19, and March 5, 13, 19 and at 9 a.m. on April 2, 10 and 16, May 7, 15, and 21, June 4, 12, and 18, July 9, 17, 23, Aug. 6, 14, and 20, Sept. 10, 18, and 24, and Oct. 1, 9 and 15. It goes back to 10 a.m. on Nov. 5, 13 and 19. No sessions in December 2019. To volunteer, call 804-318-6485. Visit www.ldequestrian.com.

Tucker, who represents District 5, said that as Powhatan continues to rev up its goal of makes-sense economic development to widen its tax base, it is imperative that leaders understand the role of Route 60, including safety issues brought about by increased traffic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it is created within Powhatan or by development activities in adjoining jurisdictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we have implemented an access management plan and have conducted, in the past, traffic studies on portions of Route 60, we need to have a firm understanding, as far as thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible, of traffic projections, road physical characteristics, carrying capacities, level-of-service trends, and, of course, safety issues of the present condition of this critical piece of infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? Tucker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More importantly, as land-use decisions come before us in the intermediate future, we need to know how our decisions will be affected by and will affect the flow of traffic and important safety issues.â&#x20AC;? He noted that this study will also take into account the increases in truck traffic created by the proposed Cumberland landfill. When a new proposed development is put in front of county staff and its boards, they look at studies like this one to help determine if it will overload the roads affected by it, Tucker said. While the board has studies specifically about Powhatan that it usually considers, a broader per-

spective could be helpful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Route 60 doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start and stop at the county line. The throughput from the various counties has to funnel into the next county. The way we have historically looked at these things, we have only looked at little segments of it and to hell of what happens to it when it crosses the line into the next county. This bill I think is designed to help us get past that so we are looking at the entirety of it as much as it makes sense to look at the entirety of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. David Williams, District 1, said he was not familiar with the 1999 study from his years on the planning commission or board of supervisors and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure how familiar the rest of the board is with it either. With local issues, they have tended to refer to studies specifically done on Powhatan. However, he says he believes the study could be helpful for the county. The more information county leaders have not only about what is going on in Powhatan but to the east and west regarding Route 60 certainly is a benefit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we are looking at Route 60 as a transportation corridor for economic development, it is important for us to know what type of traffic we have today and what potential improvements we need to make to Route 60 to make it a viable commercial corridor for economic development,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

POWHATAN Calie Rehme has always been around field hockey. She used to have one of those miniature sticks that her mom Caryn Rehme bought her, and she played in a club league when she was around six and seven. She remembers playing on the sand with her mom during a beach vacation before she had tried out for varsity. But while Calie was around REHME it all her life, she didn’t really start playing the game until she entered high school. Before that, she played middle school volleyball, but Powhatan High School only had a varsity team her freshman and sophomore years, meaning there was no JV team to try out for. As a freshman, she questioned if she should try out for varsity. But then Calie looked at Powhatan Field Hockey – her mom was not yet an assistant coach with the team – and she concluded: “You know what? My mom really enjoys it. She knows a lot about it. I’ve been around it.” She decided to give it a shot. She made the varsity team… ...and started as a freshman. Thus began a career that culminated in an honor that Calie sees as highlighting not just what she has achieved, but what the Powhatan Field Hockey program as a whole has managed to accomplish.

RICHMOND – “There are times when she’s made a play and I’m like, ‘I don’t know how she did that,” Sherman Chung said of St. Catherine’s volleyball player Quinn Menger. “It’s just pure instinct, pure athleticism.” All-around, Menger has all the skills needed to play anywhere on the court, Chung noted. “She can play defense. She can set. She can hit. She MENGER can block.” That versatility can be seen across Menger’s 2018 statistics. She contributed 95 kills, 52 aces, 44 blocks and 553 assists to her St. Catherine’s volleyball team as a setter. “It makes lineup a lot easier to do,” said St. Catherine’s head coach Skip Weston. “Quinn is capable of doing whatever we would ask her to do.” The young Powhatan resident’s stellar performance and tremendous leadership elevated her to a place on the 2018 Times-Dispatch All-Metro Team. She was the only player who wasn’t a senior or junior to make First Team. “Personal achievements are always great,” said Menger, a sophomore, “but it’s the people that get you there that matter the most. It’s not just me who won the award…it takes a village to get one person there.” Menger added that the accolades she’s achieved – which this year also included First Team All-State, First Team All-LIS and LIS Player of the Year - means that hard work always pays off. “And there’s always room for improvement,” she added. “You can always keep going.” Weston said that Menger’s accolades are also dependent upon her teammates. “If the team is not successful, then you as an individual don’t really stand out,” Weston said. “A lot of credit for her

The draw Calie likes the natural aspect of field hockey. She likes being outdoors in the hot and sweaty conditions. She likes the running. “It’s definitely a very hard sport...physically demanding. I enjoy that internal competitiveness where I have to push myself.” Calie also likes the team as-

Staying sharp year-round Powhatan field hockey players strengthening skills in indoor league By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

ON AIR – The booming sound of the ball getting slammed by field hockey sticks across the hard floor reverberated throughout the large room as players from Powhatan Field Hockey matched up against opponents from Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School. The VHSL field hockey season has concluded for the year, but through winter indoor leagues like the one that Powhatan is currently participating in, the players continue to hone and sharpen their skills in anticipation for the coming fall. “It’s been great,” said Powhatan Field Hockey assistant coach Caryn Rehme, who is coaching the Powhatan players in the indoor league alongside Powhatan head coach

pect, which requires every player on the team - no matter if she’s a forward, midfielder, defender or goalie - to work together with her teammates in pushing the ball to the other side of the field and driving it into the opponent’s goal. “It’s a lot of teamwork and it’s a lot of hard work. I like that part.” Being around field hockey all her life helped Calie to easily grasp the basic skills of the game, including the stick work and the dribbling. The hardest part for her was to really understand the IQ to the point where she could play as well as she wanted to. “Field hockey...it’s a fast-paced game. The whistle blows, and...a split-second later you take off with the ball. There’s no stopping and starting and stopping and starting. It’s all very quick, so I think I had to learn to adapt more to the quickness of the game and having that IQ so...when I want to go at a fast pace, I know what I’m doing with the ball.” Right midfielder - the position Calie plays - is a very hard position. “You do the most running...you’re running up and down the field. You’re expected to be playing defense, and you’re expected to also score goals, so you’re running all over the place.”

We have some beautiful cats up for adoption. They have all been spayed and neutered, and are up to date on shots. They also have had Fiv/FeLv testing. They need a patient owner who will give them time to settle in, as they are still nervous around people. They will allow you to pet and love on them but are still unsure about being handled. If you are interested in one of these beautiful cats, contact us at (804) 598-5672 to schedule a meet and greet. You can find our other adoptable pets on Petfinder and Facebook. If you would like to help the animals in our care, you can do so by donating to our medical fund at Claws and Paws, 4313 Anderson Hwy., Powhatan, VA 23139

And she loves that. “I love being a part of every part of the game - not just having little bits and pieces that I can contribute to. I like being able to do mostly everything on the field and not having to...watch something happen, knowing that, ‘Hey, I’m midfield, and I need to take control,’ because really the midfielders take control of the game and they dictate where the ball’s gonna go...I liked having that control and having that drive to run and keep pushing myself because I knew that I had a big role on the field.” She made the most of her role, scoring as much as she helped her teammates score with 10 goals and 10 assists as a senior. She was key in helping her Indians roll out a successful 11-5 season in 2018. “It’s not as good as we did last year. We lost eight starters last year…[2017] we won regionals, but [2018] was definitely a growing year. We had a lot of young girls.” And as the season progressed, Calie saw that her team “definitely got better.” “We honestly went into the season expecting not to do as well as we did, so we were very proud of our season. Extremely, extremely proud actually.” All three of Powhatan’s losses came on doubleovertime penalty strokes. One of Powhatan’s highest moments from this past season occurred when it took down Jefferson District rival Albemarle in the wild and rare triple overtime scenario: sudden-death penalty strokes. “Honestly, looking back at the season, I couldn’t be more proud of how we did.”

Her influences Calie’s mom Caryn was a field hockey player herself; she competed at the NCAA Division I level for Radford University. She also coached where they used to live in Northumberland County, and she has refereed games. She would take Calie with her, so Calie was around the game “24/7” when she was young. The two would always practice together; Calie remembers how they’d stay after practice to work together on things and do cone drills during Calie’s freshman season. Caryn went on to coach JV during Calie’s sophomore year and assisted with the varsity team. “She really pushed me to be better...she’s definitely been my biggest impact.” Powhatan Field Hockey head coach Stephanie Tyson has been one of the most encouraging people that Calie knows. “She really helped develop my love for the game and my love just in general honestly for sports and team sports, because she made the atmosphere of playing and going to practice everyday so great.” Calie’s Powhatan Field Hockey teammates have been there to help her step back and enjoy the game. “I like competitiveness, but sometimes I can be a little too competitive and I can be a little too driven, and they helped me just to...enjoy the time I get to spend with my friends and enjoy the game itself and

enjoy being able to play a sport.” To Calie, the players were all there for each other, and they were all on that same level of wanting to work hard and win together. “Just having them by my side where we can make jokes and then be competitive and love each other and want to win...just doing that together and having them encouraging me and having them be there for me has really made me look back at it and step back and see this is meant to be fun and it’s meant to grow my character...and it’s not just about winning...”

After field hockey Calie is now looking to fulfill a goal she’s had ever since she was little: attend a United States Service Academy. And with that goal comes a different sport she wants to pursue: rowing. Neither service academy to which she has applied – the United States Coast Guard Academy and the United States Naval Academy – has a field hockey team; if they did, Calie would pursue field hockey at that level. “But I know I wanted to play a sport in college. I just couldn’t give up the competitiveness.” So she had to choose a sport that was physically demanding and heavily team-centric. Someone recommended rowing, and Calie decided to give it a shot, because the academies do have rowing teams. “I tried it and it is a very physically demanding sport. It is probably one of the hardest sports I’ve ever done.” That drew her to it instantly. Calie has been rowing for River City Crew in the springtime since her sophomore year. She’s competed in Women’s Varsity Four, and she currently has a recruitment offer from Old Dominion.

What All-Metro means to her As Calie’s field hockey career progressed, so did her accolades. She improved from earning Second Team All-Region and Second Team All-District in her freshman and sophomore years to achieving First Team AllRegion and First Team All-District as a junior. And then, her senior year, Calie again picked up First Team honors in the region and district... ...and gained her biggest honor yet: First Team AllMetro, awarded by the Times-Dispatch. “Honestly I’m a little shocked...Powhatan’s a small county and we’re not known for field hockey by any means. But...it says that we are making our name for ourselves - not just me, personally, but for Powhatan.” Calie sees that the program is growing, and that it’s starting to be noticed by the bigger, more dominant schools in the region. “By receiving that All-Met, I look back at freshman year, realize how much we’ve grown and it really means a lot that I was able to have Powhatan recognized at such a high level.”

POWHATAN -- In eight days, Powhatan by the numbers improved from taking an 84-33 rout against Charlottesville to playing a more competitive rematch at home on Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a much better game, very intense game,â&#x20AC;? Powhatan head coach Kristy Henderson said Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out on top.â&#x20AC;? In its first home game since before Christmas, Powhatan led early at 7-2, tied Charlottesville 14-all after the first quarter, trailed by five and seven in the second and third quarters, respectively, and lost by 13 with the visitors winning 63-50. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively we played great, slowed the ball down a little bit more, played some great half-court defense and we just did a tremendous job of getting back in transition, which we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time we played them,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and then we broke their press, which is really impressive.â&#x20AC;? Powhatan did have some turnovers that Charlottesville converted into points... â&#x20AC;&#x153;...which I think hurt us; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we lost,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But overall, much-improved.â&#x20AC;? Three Powhatan players netted double-digits in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with freshman Faith Henderson leading her team on 17 points and getting the doubledouble on 10 rebounds, Michala Taylor scoring 14 points and playing a strong game on defense - â&#x20AC;&#x153;sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick, fast, aggressive,â&#x20AC;? Coach Henderson said - and freshman Kayla Terry adding 10 points. Powhatan also played without senior Charlotte Kramer, who was dealing with stomach sickness for a couple of days according to her coach. Earlier in the week, the Indians on Monday took a tough 63-38 setback to Midlothian, then on Wednesday tied Western Albemarle 28-all after three quarters but were held scoreless in the fourth, resulting in a 44-28 loss.

at the same time that they’re playing another sport within the same season. But the year before, Powhatan participated in an indoor league held by Allied Sports of Virginia at Shooters Indoor Sportsplex in Chesterfield County. Rehme was impressed by the number of girls who signed up for this year’s indoor league; 16 players from Powhatan entered, enabling the school to play two teams in the league. She noted that the girls will gain more confidence as they play throughout the year in not only the winter league, but in spring and summer seasons as well. “For this it just allows us to be more competitive, to have the stick on the ball all year long, keep playing,” Rehme said. “That’s key for us: the more stick-onthe-ball time we have, the better, and that’s only gonna grow onto the field and be shown on the field with our stick work…and we’re getting really good athletes now. That’s key.” Another advantage in facing players

from schools like Maggie Walker, Matoaca and Midlothian indoor is that it gives the Powhatan players a preview of things to come, as they will meet some of those same teams and players in next year’s regular season, which will feature a huge shift what-with Powhatan moving from the Jefferson District to the Chesterfield-heavy Dominion District. The girls that Powhatan Field Hockey is getting now, Rehme pointed out, are “just so excited about field hockey.” “I think it’s the biggest program that we’ve had as far as numbers of girls,” she said. “We’ve got eighth graders coming out – the bulk of the JV were eighth graders – so that just shows us that we’re constantly building the program...they want to play.” Powhatan Field Hockey is coming off of two successful seasons, winning the Region 4B Championship as well as reaching the Class 4 state tournament in 2017, and then following up that season with a strong 11-5 campaign by a young varsity team overall in 2018 (JV was 5-6-3). “It’s two successful years, and we
