OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors and School Board set a tone of being open to collaboration when they met last week for their first joint meeting in 2019.

The two boards discussed a range of topics when they met on Tuesday, Jan. 15, including some that could lead to more joint projects between the county and the school division.

All members of the school board were present: Chairman Joe Walters, who represents District 4; Rick Cole, District 1; James Kunka, District 2; Valarie Ayers, District 3, and Kim Hymel, District 5.

Powhatan man - a federal worker - shares his experience of government shutdown

By Laura McFarland News Editor

DELIVER TO: Postal Patron Powhatan, VA 23139

By Laura McFarland

POWHATAN – Nathan Beberdick wants to be working right now. He also wants his country to be protected.

The Powhatan husband and father of four is one of the 800,000 federal workers affected by the Dec. 22, 2018, partial government shutdown. In his case, he is one of the employees currently home without pay, not one of the ones working without pay.

Beberdick is a hydrologic technician for the U.S. Geological Survey who works at the Virginia and West Virginia Water Science Center in Richmond. The office’s job is to operate streamgages, observation wells, and monitoring stations that provide reliable scientific information needed to make informed decisions.

Beberdick hasn’t worked since Dec. 21, when his office closed, and he said he has a mix of feelings about the reasons for it, which are greatly influenced by his glass-half-full outlook and life choices.

On one hand, as the sole breadwinner for a family of six, the reality that this government shutdown has no end in sight is more than unsettling, Beberdick said.

He has thought about getting a temporary job, but that is tricky when the shutdown could conceivably end at any time and he needs to report back to work.

“The unknown is the hardest thing about this shutdown. It is hard to plan.

The ramifications are going to be different if the government opens up on Thursday or the weeks go on,” he said.

On the other hand, Beberdick said it is his choice to work for the federal government even knowing that furloughs and shutdowns because of political maneuverings are a very real possibility. There were two additional shutdowns earlier in 2018, although much shorter.

“Usually what happens is once the PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND government shuts down, the panic sets in.

They end up working it out. This time is Nathan Beberdick is a local resident different because they haven’t worked it affected by the government shutdown. He said wants to be at work out,” he said. see SHUTDOWN, pg. 3

Telephone scammer poses as Powhatan County deputy

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan woman was the target last week of a phone scam where a man posed as a Powhatan County Sheriff’s deputy.

The sheriff’s office received a complaint on Tuesday, Jan. 15 from a Powhatan woman about a call she experi-

enced a day earlier, said Anne Reynolds, crime analyst.

The man claimed his name was deputy Brian Jones with the Powhatan County Dispatch Office and told the victim that she had been placed in contempt of court because she missed jury duty and that a citation had been issued for her arrest, Reynolds said. He also spoofed his phone number so

it looked like it was coming in from emergency communications’ non-emergency number, 598-5656.

The victim, Jennifer Tate, said she received the call a little after 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 14 and answered because it appeared to be a local number. She told the man she had no idea she had been summoned for jury duty and asked

“Don't you normally get a summons placed on your door for that kind of thing?"

The man told her it was mailed to her at her current address, which he was able to list, on Dec. 18, 2018. Moore said she explained she didn’t receive it and asked what she could do to get it dismissed.

Mom lauds act of kindness by Food Lion cashier

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan teen that showed kindness to a single mom in a tight spot last week was rewarded with a social media shoutout for his good deed.

Jacob Boykin is a 16-year-old Powhatan JACOB BOYKIN High School junior and a cashier at the Food Lion on South Creek One. He was working an after-school shift on Wednesday, Jan. 16 when he ended up paying for the groceries of a customer who couldn’t afford her bill.

Erica Corey of Powhatan had come to the grocery store with her daughter, Kassidy Finney, 8, and son, Silas Corey, 4, to get a few groceries. But when she went to check out, Erica Corey said her card wouldn’t work and she didn’t have any other way to pay for the groceries. “I looked at the kids and said ‘Sorry guys, it’s just not going to happen tonight. We will put it back and come back later when Mommy figures out what is wrong with her card,’� she said.

Corey said her own cashier, a teen named Abby, was very sympathetic and seemed ready to help her figure something out. She was grateful for that, because sometimes cashiers or people waiting in the grocery line act frustrated when a bill is higher than expected and someone has to take items off or cancel the order altogether.

But before her own cashier could do anything, Boykin, who was working at the next register, came over to find out the nature of the problem. “I said, ‘There is just not enough to get the groceries. That’s OK, we can come back,’� Corey recalled.

Instead of accepting that, Boykin said he would pay for the groceries. The teen later noted it wasn’t a huge bill – the groceries included items for their

SHUTDOWN Continued from pg. 1

Fortunately, a few circumstances have taken the immediate edge off the worry about going without a paycheck for his family.

Beberdick was paid on schedule for his work at the end of 2018, and he and his wife have emergency finances they have been able to fall back on, he said. The worry was also taken out of one of his biggest immediate concerns – paying his mortgage – when Navy Federal said they would work with his family during the shutdown.

On top of that, Beberdick knows that regardless of how long the shutdown drags on, he will eventually be paid. On Wednesday, Jan. 16, President Donald Trump signed a new bill into law guaranteeing back pay for federal employees impacted by the partial government shutdown. The bill, called the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act, includes both furloughed and excepted employees. It ensures they will receive retroactive pay whenever the current shutdown ends.

While the promise of back pay is critical, it doesn’t take away from the feeling that the government shutdown is a leverage tool and he and other federal employees are the collateral damage in that scenario.

Personally, he said he would like to see the stalemate end with the democrats that are facing off against the president being willing to compromise. The $5 billion that Trump is demanding for the wall is a small part of the overall $4.4 trillion annual budget, he said. “It is a political fight right now.

I don’t believe it has to do with the number. Democrats have said it is immoral so there is no compromise being done. Both side are dug in on their positions and that is why we are sitting here today,� he said.

He added that he believes na-

lunches and after school snacks – but said even if the bill had been $100, he still would have done the same thing. “Everybody deserves to eat and feed their family.

To me it wasn’t the right thing to do. I felt like it was something I was obligated to do,� he said.

When she saw what this young stranger was doing for her, Corey said she started to tear up. He then told her it would be OK and gave her a hug. “I was just blown away because there are definitely great people out there. But for him to do it – there was no hesitation for him. It is a younger kid. For me it was amazing that such a young person would do this without any reservation or hesitation,� she said.

The family of three left the store and went out to their vehicle, and while it was warming up, she talked to her children about what had just happened. “Each morning, we say a prayer and one of the things we say is we ask God to help us be a better person and bear his love. I said to the kids, ‘That is the perfect example of what it means to share God’s love

tional security is important and he is in favor of building a wall on the border with Mexico. “I think border control is important for the safety of our country. It trickles down to the safety of our communities,� Beberdick said. “It hasn’t been tried yet. Why not give it a shot? The democrats, if they are so against it or think it is the wrong way to help battle the issue, let them do it, let them fail and then win your election in 2020.�

Beberdick said he also had mixed feelings about the media coverage of the shutdown. While many people who live paycheck to paycheck are being hit hard, he felt some of those reports were coming out before some federal employees probably had missed their first paychecks. He felt the hardest hit must be the federal employees who are required to work right now even though they are not being paid. They have to continue to pay the expenses associated with their jobs, such as gas to and from work, and that can add up quickly.

Without work to go to each day, Beberdick said he is making the most of the shutdown by doing projects around the house and spending time with his wife and four daughters, who are ages 14, 9 and 2-year-old twins. He said the family isn’t making any drastic changes during the shutdown, just continuing to live within their means and enjoying the additional time together before he goes back to work. “This is a temporary hardship.

The sky is not falling. Over the past year, my family has had much larger hardships, so this is just life.

You take it as it comes. You try to prepare the best you can and make the best out of every situation,� he said.

or just share love in general and care about other people,’� Corey said.

While they were sitting in the car, Boykin and another worker came out to collect grocery carts. He saw Corey and stopped by her vehicle. When she thanked him he told her it wasn’t a big deal and he hoped they had a great night.

After the second encounter, Corey said she immediately decided to post the experience on Facebook to praise the teenager’s actions. “I was like this young man just blew me away tonight. That is why I immediately picked up the phone.

There is not a whole lot I can do to say thank you but maybe I can spread the word and he can hear thank you multiple because it is just such an awesome thing he has done for us,� she said.

Boykin said he was humbled by the attention and kind comments he received from people. He was surprised when some of his teachers had heard about the incident at school the day after it happened.

But as grateful as he is, Boykin said he wishes it wasn’t something that felt so out of the ordinary that people would be that surprised by it. He believes if you don’t have the ability to help somebody at least don’t hurt them. In this particular instance, he simply had the ability to help Corey. “As far as the attention, I definitely am flattered. I never was expecting this. However, I do believe people are treating this as if it was some extravagant thing I had done when in reality I think it is something that people should do every day. I think it should be an everyday occurrence,� he said.

People get trapped in the moment and the idea of having money in their bank accounts and can become oblivious to others who are struggling around them.

The fact that Corey cried because of his gesture was a sign to him she was overwhelmed and needed that show of support from someone, which is a natural human need. “With all of the negativity and hatred in this world, why not do the best we can to shine a little light on the darkness of this world,� he said.

When tidying up, consider local groups for donations

By Laura McFarland News Editor

There has been a great deal of chatter lately about Netflix’s new show, “Tidying Up� and the efforts people are making to become more organized.

School district seeks public input on calendar Contributed Report Powhatan County Public Schools developed a calendar for 20192020 with the assistance of a division-wide committee and regional discussions.

Committee members believe that this calendar best meets the instructional needs of all of the division’s stakeholders students, teachers and families.

Staff presented the calendar for an initial review to the school board on Tuesday, Jan. 15. The calendar is currently being presented to the community for public comment.

The proposed calendar is the combined work of the Regional Assistant

Superintendents and a 14-member calendar committee.

Their recommendations are that classes begin on Sept. 3, 2019, the first Tuesday after Labor Day. Classes would end on June 12 for students.

The school year would include 180 student days.

The parent-teacher conferences would be held on Monday, Nov. 11. The committee recommended eliminating the February parentteacher conferences.

Under the division’s professional development, summer options were reduced to a single conference-style offering. The Feb. 17 conference date was converted to a full day of profes-

ing forward into 2019, he said he wants to continue to support those opportunities and the efforts to help all students be successful. “We have a new mission statement, we have a new vision statement, and I think they really capture what we are talking about, and that is being successful in the world,� he said.

Hymel, who has been a board member since February 2014, said she appreciated her fellow board members voting her into this new role.

Like Walters, she pointed out the way the school board members have been working well together, especially looking back on 2018 and the completion of Powhatan Middle School and the joint transportation facility. “I am really proud of the school board for taking these two projects and finish-

sional development.

Approved holidays on the list are: student holiday, Oct. 14; Thanksgiving, Nov. 27-19; Winter Break, Dec. 23 - January 3; Martin Luther King Jr. Day, January 20; Spring Break, April 6-13 (first full week of April - consistent annually; includes Easter Monday); and Memorial Day, May 25.

Student half-days at the end of each marking period are for teacher planning and assessment.

A link to a survey for people to want to comment on the calendar can be found at https://www. boarddocs.com/vsba/ powhatan/Board.nsf/ Public under the Jan. 15 regular school board meeting agenda.

ing them under budget and on time. I think that is what the taxpayers expect us to do,� she said.

In 2019, Hymel said some of the issues she wants to see the school board working on includes getting all daily school bus rides under an hour, continuing to fine tune details of the repurposing of Pocahontas Middle School, getting a school resource officer (SRO) in every school, and expanding mindfulness activities in the schools to reduce the stress and pressures of students and teachers. “I am going to continue doing what I do and visit the schools and listen to the teachers, listen to the students, listen to the staff, listen to my constituents and help them get what they need to keep the school system moving forward,� she said.

pay for seven capital improvement program (CIP) projects, including the repurposing of Pocahontas Middle School.

Dr. Jason Tibbs, director of facilities for the school division, and Ramona Carter, the county’s director of public works, gave updates on the projects and ongoing developments.

A roof replacement will be part of the repurposing of the old middle school, and a contract has been awarded to Roof Consulting Services for replacing the roof, Tibbs said. Quinn Evans Architects was also awarded a contract for interior improvements and modifications as well as working on the existing mechanical system and controls evaluation.

Tibbs said he anticipates a project start date around March 1 and an anticipated move-in date for the school administration of late summer to early fall. Also on March 1, the school division will transfer use of the school’s athletic fields to the parks and recreation department.

The county’s use of the gym building, which will also be transferred to parks and recreation, will not occur until May 1 because of commitments for different athletic groups to use the building through the end of April, he said.

When the school administration staff moves to the repurposed middle school in the fall, the Skaggs Road building they are currently using will be left vacant.

The county, which will likely take control of the building, has been evaluating the space to determine its best and most costeffective use, Carter said.

A building assessment done on the Skaggs Road property found that the best use for the space would likely involve public works, IT and the Free Clinic of Powhatan. However, an initial cost estimates for building repairs and a partial renovation came in at $1.4 million and a full renovation at $1.8 million, which is “significantly more than the building (is) worth,” Carter said. The building is assessed at $447,000 and the land at $100,000.

Staff have since requested that the architects bring back cost estimates for only the minimum improvements that have to be made to occupy the building as office space.

Public Works and IT could occupy the space with only cosmetic improvements (painting, lighting, flooring), however the Free Clinic has plumbing needs that are required in order to operate their service.

They are currently trying to determine if the Free Clinic could occupy the space with minimal renovations and should know in February what course of action staff will recommend, Carter said.

There was some discussion after the

SECOND ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH

presentation about the state of the Skaggs Road building. The board also discussed making sure the county attorney looks at the legal documents transferring ownership and control of the different buildings before they go through.

Emergency radio communications Tom Nolan, director of emergency communications, gave a presentation to the two boards about the state of the current land mobile radio (LMR) system, which the county is working toward replacing. Nolan said the county is in the process of awarding a contract to build the new LMR system.

Nolan gave a presentation about the county’s current LMR system, which is no longer supported and is being held together with spare parts the county has to look for on the internet. He talked about the new system the county wants to build and the tower network that will be used to support it.

County administrator Ted Voorhees said that when the county is ready to use its new system, it would be willing to transfer the outdated VHF system to the school division if the school board and its staff felt it could benefit from the system.

The equipment would come for free, but maintenance costs to keep the system going would likely be about $100,000 for the first few years for the school division and only increase as time went on and the system continued to degrade.

Also an option the school district might consider is joining the county’s new LMR system, which would mainly mean the purchase of additional radio equipment but would get them a high degree of interoperability. Purchasing and installing the system for the division (using a 120-unit count estimate) was estimated at about $300,000 with roughly $50,000 a year in maintenance fees. Voorhees pointed out these are only rough estimates since the final vendor has yet to be selected. Other considerations might be if the General Assembly approves school safety grants that could be of use.

Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said the school division has had a few meetings about the radio system and appreciates the county’s offers. Staff hasn’t done a full analysis of how many of the school staff would need radio equipment, but he wanted the school board to hear the details to start the dialogue and give members more time to consider all the options.

Acknowledging it is still early days, Walters asked that as the county and school division staffs work on this issue, they explore the option of the county having ownership of the system and the schools using it. He pointed to the joint transportation system as a shared model.

The early revenue forecasts for the school division show that the governor’s proposed budget for fiscal year (FY 2020) provides an increase in state funds for Powhatan in the amount of $1,018,305, said Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations. Of that amount, $709,568 would be designated for a proposed 5 percent pay raise for standards of quality (SOQ) positions.

The total estimated cost for a 5 percent pay raise for all staff, including benefits, is $1,655,400. The governor’s proposal also calls for an additional guidance counselor for Powhatan, and the county would have to pay its portion of that new position.

Johns said the state in recent years has included flexibility in the appropriations language that allows the school division to use prior year salary adjustment percentages to meet the requirements to receive the incentive in the new budget.

So, the salary adjustment made in FY 2019 may be used to meet the FY 2020 requirements, Johns said. For example, since the school division provided a 2 percent raise in FY 2019, it might be able to only give a 3 percent raise in FY 2020 and still receive the state incentive.

Johns also mentioned that an early proposed increase to the school division from the county is 301,674.

Reverend Stanley S. Ward, Sr., Pastor 804-278-7868

Bus rides The board heard a brief presentation about the school division’s efforts to get all of their school bus routes under an hour going to and from school. The school board has been talking about this every few months as adjustments are made to improve the timings.

In September 2018, there were seven routes that on average exceeded one hour, Johns said. Changes were made such as reassigning stops, adjusting the afternoon bus line-ups for dismissal, hiring an additional driver and splitting a route.

Currently, there are five Powhatan High School routes that still exceed an hour and will likely do so through the end of the year because of the high school’s location and its distance from certain points in the county, Johns said.

Johns pointed out the one-hour route goal is an internal goal and that the county meets state requirements.

Members of the boards had a lengthy discussion about efforts to shorten the rides, touching on topics such as hiring more drivers, increasing the number of buses, or using smaller vehicles instead of buses.

Jones said it is an ongoing effort staff members have been working hard to achieve and it will continue to be a focus for them moving forward.

Johns also gave a brief presentation on the closeout of two of the 2016 bond projects – the Powhatan Middle School renovation and the joint transportation facility.

The original appropriation for the middle school project was $35,327,120, Johns said. The majority of that has been spent to pay for the project, but the school division is still wrapping up costs.

Final project completion and closeout is expected in May 2019. At this point, Johns said he is projecting the school division will be able to return $226,212 in unspent funds to the county’s coffers. On top of that, there is a $30,000 contingency fund, so the amount returned to the county could be higher than the $226,212.

The county appropriated $4,649,104 for the joint transportation facility, which the school division oversaw. When the project completion and closeout is done in March, Johns projects the school division will return $41,110 to the county, with the possibility of more from a $6,000 contingency fund.

Voorhees pointed out that the returned funds will likely be used to make the initial debt service payment on $9.4 million in financing the board of supervisors approved in 2018.

Voorhees talked about the county’s plan to replace its enterprise resource planning (ERP) or financial system.

According to the presentation materials, the school division uses an RDA system that has financial reporting flexibility, excellent security control and tracking and full range of modules. Its annual cost is about $70,000, including maintenance and service support. However, it is not user-friendly and some functions require vendor assistance.

Staff have been working on a process to jointly look at the opportunities that an ERP replacement might present the county and school division, Voorhees said.

“We would like to go down a path jointly to see if we can move us to a modern platform with modern architecture and save by doing it together,” he said.

Along that journey, there will be decision points to decide whether both parties’ needs are being met, Voorhees said.

If so, they may go with a joint procurement. If either side feels they are not getting what they need to out of the proposed systems, they can go their own ways.

Jones said there are benefits of going down the path together until they get to some decision points. He pointed out that switching to an ERP system takes a great deal of work, time, and manpower.

Students can explain things to peers sometimes in a way teachers cannot,” she said. “The student grasping the information is the ultimate goal, so if they can get that from another student, we are all satisfied.”

While the tutoring center in its current form is new, its roots go back a few years, Robertson said.

Three years ago, students in the National English Honor Society wanted to open a writing center to help their peers with writing. They wrote a grant and received funding through the Powhatan Education Foundation to offer the service in the library.

The center did so well that some of the advisers for the school’s other honor societies approached Robertson about expanding the tutoring service from just being for English to covering a variety of subjects.

“It is an honor for us to accept this Emergency Recovery Award from EEI and we are grateful to be recognized for our efforts,” said Ed Baine, senior vice president-Electric Distribution. “We earned this award through the valiant efforts of our dedicated employees and contractors, who worked safely and efficiently around the clock to restore power to our customers affected by Tropical Storm Michael.”

The award is given to select EEI member companies to recognize their extraordinary efforts to restore power to custom-

plied for a grant from the Powhatan Education Foundation for $900, which the group received.

She said the money was mainly to purchase graphing calculators and a flat screen television that can be hooked up to the students’ Chromebooks for demonstration purposes in the tutoring center’s designated room. It also purchased some basic school supplies, but going forward Robertson said all of the honor societies will likely pitch in to replinish them.

The newly expanded tutoring center now draws student tutors from the National English Honor Society, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Computer Science Honor Society, Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica and National Science Honor Society.

Those students have been invited to participate because they have already been targeted for proficiency or mastery in that subject, she said. Some of the students belong to two or three honor societies.

They have to go through a

ers after service outages caused by severe weather conditions or other natural events.

The winners were chosen by a panel of judges following an international nomination process, and the award was presented during EEI’s Jan. 10 Winter Board and Chief Executives Meeting in Palm Beach, Florida. This marks Dominion Energy’s 11th response award from the EEI. Hurricane Michael, the strongest storm to make landfall during the 2018 hurricane season, was a Category 4 hurricane with peak winds of 155 mph. The storm hit Mexico Beach, Florida on Oct.10, before being downgraded to a

Students who sign up to tutor have to be a member of one of the honor societies but they can sign up to tutor in any area they feel they have expertise, Robertson added.

As long as there is a student tutor available to teach it, the subjects where tutoring is offered include English writing, Algebra I and II, geometry, biology, U.S. History, World His-

struggling in class with something that comes easy to you. It is nice to be able to offer them help they wouldn’t get otherwise if they don’t want to ask the teacher for help or they don’t understand the way the teacher is teaching it,” she said.

Like Robertson, Moore said she sees the tutoring center as a win-win for all involved. For her part, she is reinforcing knowledge she previously learned or memorized, which helps in current studies. On the flip side, she hopes the peer tutoring is going to benefit students who are struggling in their classes and just need a helping hand.

“I think it is going to help a lot of kids struggling in classes whose grades are falling. Now there is this big community of tutors. There are so many people willing to help. I think a lot of grades are going to improve and they are going to feel more comfortable in classes,” Moore said.

to pursue teaching as a career, Hughes said he finds helping others learn enjoyable.

With peer tutoring, students being tutored receive one-on-one attention that is sometimes not possible in a classroom setting, where one teacher is responsible for many students, he said. The tutors can also offer a student perspective to the subject matter, he added.

“The fact we are students means we can relate better. You have either taken the same class previously or are in the same class, so it is easier to understand the way we are being taught, how that may not work, and how we can change it to make it work,” he said.

Willingness to collaborate a win-win

By Laura McFarland News Editor

T

here’s something about before and after photos that is so fascinating.

On social media right now, there has been a craze going around of people posting sideby-side shots of how they look now versus a photo taken X number of years ago. I think it started as a 10year comparison of photos from 2019 and 2009, but I have seen users doing their own thing as well.

To be honest, I don’t know why some people have taken up that challenge. Many seem to be having quite negative feelings toward the comparison, and it seems to me that there are so many more positive and affirming things you can do with your time than look at a 10-year-old photo and lament that you don’t look exactly the same.

I personally wasn’t interested in doing that challenge, but it did come to mind last week in the strangest of places – at a joint meeting between the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors and Powhatan County School Board.

Now, I can’t do a 10-year comparison; this month marks a little over four and a half years since I joined

the staff of the Powhatan Today. But sitting there in the meeting watching the board members amicably discuss one topic after another, it struck me what a difference it was to when I was first hired.

In mid-2014, the two boards were smack dab in the middle of a contentious situation caused by the Supplemental Retirement Program and the decision to do away with it. I am not going to reopen a bunch of old wounds by going into great detail, but let’s just say there seemed to be a good deal of mistrust and accusations over the issue that was going to take time to heal.

But with time and effort on the various board members’ parts, they did seem to heal (or at least reconcile) and have created what appears to be a fairly good working relationship in the last few years.

In 2016, the county undertook a huge bond project that sought to make some big changes in Powhatan.

One of those was a joint transportation facility that would handle both county and school division vehicles.

With almost a year under its belt of handling all kinds of vehicles, the transportation facility seems to be a model for how the county and school division can effectively collaborate on jointly-run projects.

It was with that context in the back of my mind that I watched the boards’ joint meeting on Tuesday, Jan.

Snow and anticipation

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

I’m not sure how we knew when it was going to snow when I was a kid, but I’m convinced it didn’t involve probability percentages or hour-by-hour forecasts.

I do, however, distinctly remember being with my mother on one of those gray overcast days when it seems like the air is as still as the night without a whisk of wind anywhere.

“It feels like snow,” my mother would say.

My sister and I would give each other a puzzled look, but, usually, her predications were accurate and produced the results we had hoped for.

And all of us remember those days sitting in class and straining your neck to see that first flake, a sign of an impending early dismissal.

As the flakes turned into flurries, we all knew what would come next and stared at the small speaker on the wall. We waited for the static crack that preceded every announcement, but we already knew the news.

It’s rare for kids to have those early dismissal days due to snow these days, largely due to districts’ improved preparation and a concern for busy parents’ schedules that sometimes are hard to adjust. That ounce of prevention works well most of the time, and I never hear my kids complain that they erred on the side of closing or lamenting an extra day off.

Winter storms today have names and their impending arrival is announced days in advance, allowing all of us ample time to raid every grocery store in the area and purchase every snow shovel and generator in the region.

Again, it’s hard to disagree with prudent preparation, so when news of Gia, that’s the name of the latest winter storm, was announced more than a week ago, I was determined to grab the things I needed early.

By Friday, the refrigerator was stocked, the gas tank filled, and a weekend of anticipation began for my three children and me.

The words “Do you think we’ll have school on Monday?” were first muttered Friday afternoon, the first inquiry of many similar requests of unanswerable questions.

Now, the Weather Channel was more convinced than I regarding this storm since I’ve heard all of my life that the big snow

comes from the South around here. This one was clobbering the West, so I had my doubts, but last month’s storm took a similar path and it hit us like a freight train so who knows.

And that’s the point I tried to convey to my children. Weather is hard to predict even with the latest technology and I’m not sure if people like my mother exist anymore who can walk outside and offer an instant prediction based on how it feels outside.

The pending question of school closing continued Saturday and noses pressed against the window produced no steady snow, and, by Sunday, it looked as if this one had missed us, an occurrence welcomed by many of us not enrolled in public schools.

The anticipation of the snowstorm had exhausted all of us, and, now, it seemed that homework delays had not been the responsible choice. The thought of sledding soon turned to algebra and Latin, or that project that seemed destined to have that extra day of preparation.

And, that question of school closing seemed remote as the sun set on a weekend of failed expectations and a realization that the weather and the predictions are not an exact science.

The first glimmer of hope arrived later that evening with an announcement that school would begin two hours late in Henrico County. Shortly after, the snow finally began to fall and wet roads quickly became snow covered.

And, finally, while writing this column, the final bit in a clump of good news arrived, as a familiar tone on my phone announced that schools would be closed. The final episode of a four-day journey of disappointment, fatigue and, finally, redemption concluded with cheers from my children who quickly dispensed with notebooks and pencils and began looking forward to their day off.

I’m not sure if my kids will ever know the pleasure of a surprise snowstorm and the magical feeling of opening the door and seeing a winter wonderland when you weren’t expecting it.

But, we are left with an ample dose of anticipation and excitement that accompanies each forecasted storm, and perhaps that provide a new kind of magic of its own.

“It’s supposed to snow next Sunday too,” my daughter exclaimed shortly after the closing announcement. “And they’re saying a big storm will hit on the 28th.”

The cycle continues.

15, where they discussed a wide range of issues, needs and projects. And, in more than one instance, the boards returned to this idea of collaborating on projects that could benefit them as individual entities and as a county. They discussed a joint financial system, rolling in the school district into the plan for the land mobile radio system, and the future uses of the now-empty Pocahontas Middle School and the school administration’s building on Skaggs Road.

Don’t get me wrong; none of these projects are anywhere close to being a reality and there is still a long way to go on planning, negotiations and actually doing the work to get the finished products they ultimately choose.

In the end, they may have some significant differences of opinion when all the information comes through.

But even if they do disagree or decide not to go the way of collaboration, that doesn’t take away from what I saw on the Village Building auditorium stage on Jan. 15: two boards working together to do what is best for the residents of Powhatan County. As long as they keep doing that and continue to treat each other with respect while they do it, the ones who stand to benefit the most are the residents of this county.

Guest commentary

Tax cuts, new revenue are issues to watch

By Del. Lee Ware Special to Powhatan Today

T

hough a short session, the 2019 General Assembly must decide several hugely important issues, none more sweeping financially for citizens than both tax reform and “tax conformity.”

As we conclude our first full week of the six-weeks Assembly, it is by no means clear that meaningful tax reform can be achieved.

Usually we only “tinker” with the biennial budget (for 20192020) in its second year. However, the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act both resulted in higher revenues for the Commonwealth and increased the standard deduction on federal IRS tax returns for every taxpayer. Normally we would simply “conform” Virginia’s tax rates to the federal standard deduction. Doing so this year could, however, mean dramatic increases in taxes for citizens who would no longer be able to itemize their tax deductions.

These are challenges on which I worked all last year in my capacity as chairman of the House Finance Committee. My colleague, Del. Tim Hugo of Fairfax, agreed to patron the two principal bills. Each has been assigned by the Speaker to the House Rules Committee—of which Del. Hugo and I are members. Doing so means the speaker can negotiate directly with Governor Northam on how to proceed.

Another reason for the increase in state revenues this year is a U.S. Supreme Course ruling, in the Wayfair case, that allows states to collect taxes from companies selling goods to Virginians via the Internet. My proposal has been to devote a portion of the

expected revenues—estimated currently at $250 million—to the expansion of broadband in our rural communities—such as Powhatan, western Goochland, southwest Chesterfield, and Fluvanna. By contrast, the governor wants to devote $216 million to tax relief for lower-income individuals, many of whom do not presently pay taxes.

Though the federal tax reforms will mean we have about $1.2 billion in additional state revenues, we must allocate $575.4 million for Medicaid Expansion, authorized only last year, owing to a badly flawed prediction about what the program would cost.

So, we are left with about $432 million in “new” monies to allocate this session.

On the table from the governor for use of those funds are (1) an additional 2 percent pay raise for teachers, costing $88 million; $80 million for the Virginia Retirement System, freeing money for new schools or renovations; $40 million for a one-time 1 percent bonus for state employees, sheriffs’ deputies, et al.; and roughly $35 million each for additional high school counselors as part of our response to school safety proposals, and for students in our schools at-risk of falling behind.

For Powhatan and Goochland counties’ boards of supervisors I am patron of a bill to reform the proffers guidelines for major developers. A similar bill was defeated in the Senate. Next week I’ll report on its fate in the House and other bills I am carrying for the citizens and counties of the 65th District.

Del. Lee Ware represents the 65th House District consisting of Powhatan, western Chesterfield, western Goochland, and eastern Fluvanna counties.

Powhatan residents brave cold to watch lunar eclipse

PHOTOS BY CODY FRAYSER

Overnight from Jan. 20 into Jan. 21, millions of people in North and South America had a prime view of a total lunar eclipse. The moon was clearly visible on a cloudless and cold night in Powhatan County, where resident Cody Frayser shot this series of images. The images show the moon leading up to and away from the special nocturnal hour when the full moon become fully tinted with the red-orange color of sunset.

to the dispatch office immediately and sign some waivers, and pay the fine, but the fine could be reimbursed once the judge approved my reason for not showing,” she said.

She said when she told him she would come in the next morning, he said that wasn’t an option and that “Since I have made contact with you, you must come down immediately. I cannot hang up the phone with you until you arrive.”

Tate was expecting guests for her husband’s birthday dinner and said she couldn’t come to the sheriff’s office until 7

oh my gosh I have ruined my husband’s birthday because I am going to get arrested because of jury duty,” she said.

About this time, her husband came home and she showed him the phone and had him call the number. The number did connect him to a 911 dispatcher, but she told him that this was a spam or spoof call, that what was described was not the protocol used to advise someone of pending charges, there is no employee by that name with the sheriff’s office and to immediately hang up the phone, Reynolds said.

Tate said when she told the caller that her husband was on the phone with the sheriff’s of-

p.m. at the earliest. He again told her that there was a warrant out for her arrest and she needed immediately to go to the sheriff’s office. He also told her that once she was in her car, he needed to know the last four digits of her odometer reading to confirm she didn’t go anywhere else and he would stay on the phone with her during her ride to the sheriff’s office.

Tate said she was overwhelmed and crying because of the unexpectedness of the call and threat of being arrested on top of what was going on to get the house ready for her guests.

“I was stunned. I was like,

fice, he hung up.

At the time the call was terminated, there was no mention of any monies but the man was insistent Tate report to the sheriff’s office, Reynolds said.

Rene Holy, Powhatan’s chief deputy clerk of court, said if someone misses jury duty, a judge will issue a show cause that is given to the sheriff’s office and served in person. The person then has to appear in court and explain why they didn’t report for jury duty.

Tate said the scariest parts for her were that he had her address and that she doesn’t know the ultimate purpose of the man’s call.

“I am thankful that I don’t

know what his full intentions were and why it was so urgent to get me out of the house,” she said.

Tate shared her story on her personal Facebook page and had at least two people comment that they had similar experiences.

The sheriff’s office is currently following up on this complaint and asks that if anyone has any questions or has been a victim of this type of call, contact the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office at 804598-5656.

Student-athlete’s leadership recognized Powhatan’s Salomonsky nets Lexus of Richmond Leadership Award

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

P

OWHATAN - In the words of her Powhatan Girls Basketball head coach Kristy Henderson, when Maggie Salomonsky sets her mind to something, “she’s all in.”

“She’s such a hard worker and she’s very driven, very focused,” Henderson said. “You can see that academically and on the basketball court as well.”

Salamonsky is captain of her var-

sity girls basketball team. She’s currently taking five A.P. classes. She has a 4.41 GPA and is in the top 10 of her senior class, of which she is also the president. She participates in multiple school clubs.

To Henderson, Salomonsky is “destined for greatness.”

“She’s a great teammate; she wants to be a leader,” Henderson said. “You say, ‘Oh, she’s a born leader,’ and Maggie, I think, is. I’ve seen it for years, even when she was in middle school with sports...”

Salomonsky’s leadership and high marks across the board have been further rewarded. Earlier this month, the Powhatan High School senior became a winner of the prestigious Lexus of Richmond Leadership Award.

“For her to receive that was pretty awesome,” Henderson said. “It’s pret-

ty high up there for her.”

Balancing high marks in the classroom with a leading role on the basketball team has definitely been difficult, Salomonsky said, and with every year, the schedule changes and the program gets “more and more intense.”

“And it’s all for the better…each year it’s just: you have to reconnect with yourself and find that balance,” Salomonsky said, “and for me, I have really learned how to manage my time.”

In class, she does a lot of multitasking, getting a lot of homework done in that time-frame. After school, they always have study hall before late practices, so Salomonsky will use that time to get work done and go see her CONTRIBUTED PHOTO teachers.

OWHATAN - J.D. McMillin came face-to-face with Cole McCormick.

The two wrestlers met on the mat in the Hampton Coliseum during the Virginia Duals. McMillin had placed runner-up in the 2018 Class 4 state finals, whereas McCormick, of Poquoson, won last year’s Class 2 state championship in the 120 weight division.

The match began. McCormick took him down, but then McMillin escaped twice to tie it at 2-2. In his description of the match, McMillin recalled how McCormick went down, then stood up and took a 3-2 lead. McCormick shot and missed, and McMillin spun around to get

McMillin felled him, but McCormick escaped. Later in the match,

MIDLOTHIAN -- In the battle of opposing Knights, blue prevailed over gold as Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Girls Basketball dominated Tuesday’s road contest over Guardian Christian Academy 48-7.

Elizabeth Carter and Madelyn Mitchell netted 10 points each to lead the team. Cabrey Forward chipped in eight points and eight Knights overall scored on Tuesday, as several different players were able to come off the bench and gain significant minutes.

For BSH head coach Ethan Sill, the takeaway from Tuesday’s victory was experience for the younger players.

“My second team is in need of some minutes,” he said. “Plus they worked hard…”

And they found the basket, too, sparking cheers from their teammates on the bench.

Emily Smith (five points), Alyssa Shively (four), Kendall Hungate (two) and Berkley Roudabush (two) were among the BSH Knights’ eight scorers.

“They got some confidence out there tonight,” Sill said. “It’s hard to duplicate that in practice…”

BSH scored early and often and never let up, going up 35-2 at the half and preventing the home team from finding the basket in the second quarter.

Sill said they always harp on getting out to a fast start.

“They did a good job of getting the pressure on the ball (and forcing turnovers) and getting easy baskets,” Sill said of his players.

Mitchell stole the ball multiple times and poured in 10 points in the second quarter.

“Good anticipation from her,” Sill said, adding of his team: “They were all anticipating pretty well.”

Carter scored eight of her team’s 13 points in the first quarter as she dropped in the game-opening points on a fast break, knocked down back-to-back jumpers and made an easy trip to the basket off of a long pass from Mitchell.

Powhatan Boys Basketball splits the week

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN -- The past week featured split results for the Indians as they took a 7561 setback to a tough Louisa County team on Friday, but won Wednesday’s road game against Orange County 70-66 on a fourth-quarter comeback.

Powhatan head coach Steve Washburn spoke to being really pleased with the way his team is playing.

“They’ve gone through a difficult schedule, and I think our guys continue to fight” and give maximum effort every night, Washburn said. “I’m very pleased with the way we’re progressing.”

Against Orange, the Indians took off on a strong start to grab a 20-10 first-quarter lead; Jay Harris, who has been battling a knee injury throughout the season, landed three of his five three-pointers and nine of his 17 game-time points in the opening quarter.

Deven Van Natter also started off quickly, making six of his team-leading 29 points in the first quarter.

Orange out-scored Powhatan 22-18 in the second to whittle the visitors’ lead down to six points at the half 38-32.

Washburn was pleased with the way his players started Wednesday’s game, and he

noted that, while they kind gave up some things defensively, Orange was “coming off of a lot of momentum” after narrowly edging Western Albemarle in the game before.

“Playing at their place is never easy,” Washburn said. “I was pleased with being up six in the half.”

Orange then jumped on Powhatan in the third quarter, racing past to take a six-point lead going into the fourth.

“Just went cold in the third quarter,” Washburn said. “I thought we took some really good shots, just couldn’t get them to fall and they capitalized off of it.

But Powhatan rallied in the fourth behind six of Kyle Williams’ 11 points, two critical three-pointers and a couple of key free throws and strong defense from Henry Adkins and Norman Watson.

“Orange really depends on getting a lot of their scoring from inside the paint,” Washburn said, “and I thought Henry and Norman did a really good job defensively of holding them off.”

On Friday, Powhatan took on a Louisa team that up to that point had just one loss: a recent 67-52 defeat to Western Albemarle. Washburn was really pleased with the way that Powhatan started Friday’s game.

she’ll keep plugging away at her schoolwork because of her heavy course load.

“Whatever free time I have, if I haven’t gotten work done, I know that I need to do it,” she said, “so when I go home at night, I can finally relax and have a little bit of free time [so it’s] not constantly ‘schoolball, school-ball.’”

She and a couple of her Powhatan Girls Basketball teammates are in the same boat, so they’ll hold mini study sessions together before practices and games.

“We know the value that comes with still achieving high academics and being able to play a fun sport,” she said. “With the intensity that Coach demands of us on the team, we’re relaying that in the classroom, too...we’re still very committed to basketball and school.”

Leading Powhatan Girls Basketball as team captain, Salomonsky said, is a blessing.

“Sometimes it’s a blessing-in-disguise, because… just like every team, we have obstacles that we have to overcome, and it’s not really that much of a burden because people on our team, they’re very openminded,” she said. “It especially helps in my favor, because I’m definitely somebody who isn’t afraid to confront somebody else about something and I like to have verbal conversations face-to-face and solve issues like that, and I like to compromise, and the girls on my team, they’re very open to doing that.”

Henderson described Salomonsky as someone who leads both verbally and by example.

“Maggie is a very helpful leader,” Henderson said, noting that Salomonsky also leads the strength and

couple of three’s and made nine points in the first quarter while Williams scored five.

But Washburn added: “I thought that maybe we could’ve done a little bit more [in the first quarter] because as the quarter ran on, I thought we got some defensive stops but weren’t able to capitalize off those opportunities...even though it was a good quarter I thought it was a quarter that we could’ve even extended the lead more than we had...”

Louisa then started to heat up in the second quarter and capitalize on Powhatan’s misses. The Lions closed out the half on a strong run to take the lead.

“I thought we did a better job from that point on keeping the game right where we wanted to be,” Washburn said.

“We just were never able to put together that run in the second half to help us cut into that lead.”

But Washburn was pleased overall with this team’s effort, and he gave a lot of credit to Louisa. Chris Shelton rolled out 30 points for the Lions, including 20 in the second half.

“He’s just one of those good shooters that, when he gets a rhythm going and he gets cranked up, he’s a tough guy to cover,” Washburn said, “and he certainly got warmed up in the second half and really

presented us with some problems.”

Despite the loss, the Indians saw three players score in the double figures (Van Natter had 23 points, Chipper Ford had 15 and Williams had 12) and Washburn said his players did

conditioning workouts. “She’s almost like an assistant coach at times on the court.”

Salomonsky recalled taking on leadership roles as a freshman, and she described what it was like to sometimes be afraid to go and talk to administrators and be the first one to either talk about a problem or “pitch a new idea that maybe you’re not too confident about and nobody else has thought of.”

But after her freshman year, she said to herself: “You need to keep doing leadership positions and you need to perfect that, because that’s going to be a great quality you can use in the future.”

As senior class president, Salomonsky advocates for the class and partakes in the planning for activities like pep rallies and graduation-related events. On the school club side, she’s part of Leftovers, which raises money for Relay for Life through events like Krispy Kreme Doughnuts fundraisers and the Color-A-Cure 5K at PHS, and Diverse Hands at Work (DHAW), which focuses on embracing inclusion and diversity in the community and educating students on what the world looks like outside of Powhatan.

In helping with the 5K, Salomonsky said “it’s very eye-opening to work and see the people who are honoring those who are fighting cancer, and those who are fighting cancer.” She said that hearing their stories, being a part of the fight and celebrating everyone’s efforts to help “promote so much love around Powhatan and outside of the community” has had a very big impact on her perspective.

By putting herself outside of her comfort zone, Salomonsky is learning how comfortable she’s becoming with public speaking, introducing herself, leading her basketball team and “not being afraid to sometimes be the only voice in the room.”

By receiving the weekly Lexus of Richmond Award in week #13 of 30, Salomonsky is now in the running for a $10,000 scholarship.

are primarily from private schools and magnet schools.

“I think it says a lot that Powhatan is getting this publicity and kind of the recognition that our school is an institution that is producing students just as equipped as those in Chesterfield,” Salomonsky said.

“I think it brings a lot of accomplishment to Powhatan – not just me by earning the award…I know last year we had one nominee for that award and this year it was me – and I just think as years progress, we’ll get more and more people and Powhatan’s academic community and leadership community is really going to blossom.”

McMillin felt McCormick shift his right leg around, and McMillin knew the shot was there. McMillin shot his single leg, came through on top, and knew that McCormick was going to drape over because he was tired.

With the match on the verge of going into overtime, McMillin took down McCormick to secure the thriller on a 6-4 decision. “He’s a really good kid‌ state caliber, very good wrestler,â€? McMillin said of McCormick. “I was coming into the match and I knew‌he was the best kid on that team and I knew that I needed to come into this match ready or I’m not gonna win.â€?

Defeating the 2018 state champ was a highlight in a phenomenal weekend for McMillin, as he wrapped up the Virginia Duals on an undefeated mark of 4-0.

And then he achieved a rank neither he nor any CONTRIBUTED PHOTO other Powhatan wrestler had received before.

The Powhatan Wrestling team takes a picture together during the Virginia Duals in Hampton.

He earned the title of Outstanding Wrestler in the Black and Blue High School Division.

Indians set PRs at Woodberry Forest meet Staff Report WOODBERRY FOREST - Powhatan Track and Field this past weekend competed in the Woodberry Forest School track meet.

“Everyone seemed to have a great time and stepped up to the competition well, which created a slew of personal records and season bests for a majority [of] the team over a wide variety of events ranging from sprints like the 55 meter dash and 300, to shot put throws and more mid-distance races like the 1000 and 1600,” said head coach Paul Smartschan.

From Powhatan Boys Track and Field, senior Blake McCoy finished third in the shot put on a throw of 4002.25, senior John Cavedo ran third in the 3200m on a time of 11:20.53, junior Brandon Eacho placed fourth in the 1000m run on a time of 2:56.94, and seniors Noah Allen and Josh McLevain ran fifth (5:18.04) and eighth (5:23.57), respectively in the 1600m.

Wrestlers place 3rd Powhatan Girls BB edges in Christiansburg Louisa Co. by five again Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor CHRISTIANSBURG -- Competing in a field of 20-plus teams in the Christiansburg Invitational this past weekend, Powhatan Wrestling came away with a third-place finish. Out of about 16 Powhatan wrestlers who attended the invitational, 11 placed in the top eight of their respective weight classes, and two - Colby Cheatham in 145 and Jarrett Tronge in the heavyweight class - won their divisions.

Head coach Jonathan Tanaka called Cheatham the epitome of what the Powhatan Wrestling program is in general, and he praised the three-sport student-athlete athlete as a great kid.

Tanaka also pointed to the progression he’s seen with Cheatham, who has risen from around a fifth-and-sixth placer as a sophomore to a third-and-fourthplace wrestler as a junior to a consistent winner and leading competitor for Powhatan as a senior.

Tanaka said that Cheatham “didn’t complain - just put his head down and worked harder, and this year...winning this tournament I think is gonna be huge for his confidence going forward.”

And Tronge, Tanaka said, is a kid that they love.

“He’s a fiery guy, but we’re glad that he’s our guy, he’s in our corner,” Tanaka said. “Just a hard-working kid... very grateful for all the hard work he

puts in.”

As for seeing Tronge win the tournament and then stand atop the podium, Tanaka said it was “kind of surreal actually.”

“But he dominated the kid in finals... he looked really good doing it,” Tanaka said, adding that he sees Tronge as a wrestler who “can do some damage” when Powhatan gets through to February, “especially if he keeps wrestling like that and he keeps believing in himself.”

J.D. McMillin lost a tight 5-4 match to defending state champion Brandon Crowder from Christiansburg, but battled back to finish third, “just like we knew he would,” Tanaka said.

In the 138 class, freshman Andrew Cheatham placed fourth - a result that Tanaka said was “phenomenal.” The head coach added that Andrew is proving that “it doesn’t really matter what your age or what your weight is - just go out there and wrestle hard and see what happens.”

A.J. Gaskins placed eighth to join Colby in giving Powhatan Wrestling two top-eight wrestlers in the 145 division.

While at the invitational, Powhatan senior Wes Coward, who wrestles in the 138 weight class, was awarded the Jackie Toney Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $1,000. “That was just really cool. He was really happy; I don’t think he expected it all,” Tanaka said. “It was cool to watch his teammates be happy for him, too.”

Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor LOUISA -- The number five has emerged as the magic integer whenever Powhatan Girls Basketball has faced the Lions this season.

That was the margin of victory in the Indians’ 55-50 win over Louisa in December... ...and again in a 53-48 road win this past Friday.

“It was close the entire game; it was just basically back-and-forth,” said Powhatan head coach Kristy Henderson, “but we held on at the end to win, did some good things down the stretch.”

The freshman duo of Kayla Terry and Faith Henderson continued to shine. Terry knocked down four three’s - which Henderson said the team needed - and she led the team in scoring on 14 points. One of Terry’s four three-pointers was a clutch shot that put her team up by five late in the game. Faith was right behind her with 13.

Michala Taylor ran into foul trouble but still managed to score eight points.

Senior Charlotte Kramer stepped in for Taylor and did a nice job in the post, according to Coach Henderson.

Kramer chipped in a pair of two-pointers.

Powhatan featured a balanced scoring effort, with eight different players netting points against Louisa. The Indians were able to mix up defenses, rebound well, apply pressure to key players, land clutch free throws down the stretch and play with intensity throughout the game.

“It’s tough to win on the road,” Henderson added, “and the girls are staying pretty strong, staying the course.”

Henderson felt her team did a better job of moving the ball around in the

Powhatan Girls Basketball’s Kayla Terry scored 14 points in Friday’s 53-48 win over Louisa County.

zone offense.

“I think against Hanover we were a little...standstillish and not moving the ball around as well to spread the defense out,” Henderson said. “I thought...against Louisa, we did a better job of that, opened up the inside a little more.”

Defensively, the Indians were anticipating passes well, and they were able to stay with Louisa standout Alexis Miller, who scored a game-high 28 points. Henderson said her players were challenging her and making her work for every point.

“Obviously she got plenty of them, but she’s a type of player that, if just let go, she could’ve scored 40 points on us,” Henderson said.

With Friday’s triumph, Powhatan bounced back from a 62-53 loss at home to Hanover on Wednesday. In that game, Salomonsky and Faith each scored 12 points, and senior Katie Henderson knocked down three threepointers for nine points total.

Powhatan will make-up its home game versus Orange County on Wednesday, Jan. 23 at 7:30 p.m. The Indians will then host Fluvanna on Friday, Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m.
