Program aims to help existing businesses By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – Terry Awad said he would have been happy if the only thing he got out of his visit from Powhatan County’s Business Retention and Expansion team was help in getting access to high-speed internet for his business. While other businesses around him were able to make that connection, he had been unsuccessful in getting it hooked up for his company, Fortune Auto, which manufactures performance suspension systems for Japanese and European vehicles. A few weeks after assistant county administrator Bret Schardein reached out to him in September 2018 and asked how the county could help his Powhatan business, he connected Awad to the right people and the company had high-speed internet. But it didn’t stop there, because the county’s economic development team – which consists of Schardein and Roxanne Salerno, economic development program manager – helped get Awad involved in a program

that led to a free market research study and the potential for grants to attend trade shows to better market the company’s products. Awad said he was never an anti-government person, but he also felt more often than not that it would be more of a hindrance than a help. The effort Schardein and Salerno have put into helping his and other local businesses changed that opinion. “My attitude is 180. I didn’t even think something like this was possible,” Awad said. While Awad’s results with Powhatan’s Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) program aren’t typical of every case of the county’s efforts to reach out to and help local businesses, they also aren’t atypical of the program’s purpose. In summer 2018, Salerno and Schardein started setting up meetings with local business owners as part of a business visitation program. They knew there wasn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to helping each one of Powhatan’s 560 brick and mortar businesses (the number jumps higher with home-based businesses, which are also insee BUSINESS, pg. 5

POWHATAN – The coordinators and volunteers of the Powhatan Food Pantry love helping people in need in the community each month, but they are looking for more help to do it. The mission of the food pantry, which is run by the Coalition of Powhatan Churches, is to assist low-income families with the burden of stretching their dollars so they don’t have to make hard decisions like whether to buy medicine or pay an electric bill or eat, said Patsy Goodwyn, director of the Coalition of Powhatan Churches. The food pantry serves 150 households, or 351 individuals, in Powhatan County. That number has stayed steady since the food pantry opened its new building in May 2016, with some people getting on their feet and not needing the help anymore and new people replacing them. Coming off of the holiday season, the food pantry had a great end to 2018, with the community showing up and opening their hearts to help others in their community, as they do every year, Goodwyn said. But with the start of 2019, the pantry is already seeing a decrease in food donation, a lack of individuals or groups wanting to do food drives and having issues making sure all of the volunteer shifts are filled, she said.

“At Christmas and Thanksgiving we get a lot of food, but then it peters off to nothing,” Goodwyn said. The biggest need now is for organizations to be willing to hold food drives, either now or sometime later in the year, manager Theresa Fields said. It can be as simple as putting out a box with a sign on it asking for donations or requesting people in your office, church or organization donate what they can. There are a few local organizations that have continuous food drives, such as Essex Bank and Powhatan United Methodist Church, and churches that regularly hold see PANTRY, pg. 3

County holds comp plan open houses As part of its updating of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan Update, Powhatan County held two open houses on Jan. 17 at the library and PHOTO COURTESY OF POWHATAN COUNTY on Jan. 22 at Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department.

The board of Supervisors was set to review the comp plan again at its meeting on Jan. 28.

Virginia lawmakers shoot down proposal to give Powhatan County a say in potential Cumberland County landfill project By Graham Moomaw Richmond Times-Dispatch

Good fences make good neighbors. Building a dump right on the boundary line apparently causes trouble. Cumberland County’s decision to approve a 1,200-acre landfill right next to its border has irritated some of its neighbors in Powhatan County. But Powhatan residents who say they’ll now have to live next to a mega-landfill they had no say in won’t be getting any help from the Virginia General Assembly. On Thursday, a Senate com- STURTEVANT mittee voted 14-0 to kill a bill brought by Sen. Glen Sturtevant, R-Richmond, that would’ve forced Cumberland to get Powhatan’s permission before proceeding with the landfill project. Sturtevant’s Senate Bill 1761 would have required approval from any locality within a 5-mile radius of a new landfill project. Even though the landfill is in Cumberland, Sturtevant said, it will bring an estimated

250 trash trucks down U.S. Route 60, affecting his constituents in Powhatan and Chesterfield counties. “This is not saying you can’t build a landfill,” Sturtevant told the Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee. “It’s just saying don’t do it in a way that abuses your neighbor.” Sturtevant’s colleagues didn’t buy that line of argument, saying they were worried about the ramifications of requiring one locality to get permission from its neighbor for an economic development project. “They are not on the beaten path for economic development,” said Sen. Frank Ruff, R-Mecklenburg. “I would be very concerned about us leaving them in the lurch after they spent the money of going through the process.” The website for the Green Ridge landfill says the project will create more than 35 jobs and pay Cumberland $1.3 million to $2.7 million in host fees in addition to additional tax revenue. Two members of the Cumberland Board of Supervisors attended Thursday’s hearing to oppose the bill. “It is landfills today,” said Cumberland Supervisor David Meinhard. “But what might be the industry or business that we want to aim at next time?” Bea Gonzalez, a lobbyist for County Waste of Virginia, the company behind the Green Ridge landfill,

said the bill would pit localities against each other and could lead to “skyrocketing” waste management costs for localities and businesses. “This legislation sets an incredible precedent,” Gonzalez said. Sturtevant said his bill applies only to landfills, and would force localities to take their neighbors into consideration or avoid the issue altogether by putting the landfill far enough away from a neighboring locality that the new law wouldn’t apply. “There is no recourse for the folks in Powhatan as it currently stands,” Sturtevant said. Powhatan resident Victoria Ronnau said she was worried the water supply for the hundreds of Powhatan residents who live near the site could be jeopardized by a landfill they had no control over. “They didn’t want it in their county,” Ronnau said of Cumberland. “And they put it on us.” The Virginia Association of Counties, which represents county governments throughout the state, also opposed the bill. “I get that this upsets your constituents. I understand that,” Sen. Richard Stuart, R-Stafford, told Sturtevant. “But how would Powhatan feel if every time they wanted to do an economic development project ... they had to get Cumberland’s permission?”

them, she said. But there is still a big need for food drives to keep the food pantry stocked throughout the year. Currently, some of the most sought after items are canned goods such as canned meat products (chicken or tuna), soups, sloppy Joes, chilis, and stews. Hamburger Help-

er-style pasta meals can feed a whole family while individual noodle packets or premade and packaged meals (like Hormel singles) can be good for a single elderly person making a meal for one. Goodwyn and Fields were very reluctant to say they didn’t want something, because all donations are appreciated. But currently, they are overrun with staples such as

canned corn and green beans. Instead, they requested canned goods such as beets, black-eyed peas, butter beans, spinach, turnip greens, and collard greens. Also needed are condiments, oils (for cooking) and sugar. Fields said the food pantry has to supplement the available food with anywhere from $500 to $1,000 each month to keep the shelves stocked.

Monetary donations are also needed to make sure that continues to be possible when they get in a pinch. Produce is also a need, especially in the winter, when local farms aren’t in season, Fields said. “It is always feast or famine around here. This time of years produce is slim. In the summer we have the farmers come in and boy do they keep us fed,” she said. Volunteers are also an ongoing need, Fields added. The food pantry is open five times a week and it takes anywhere from 36 to 40 volunteers a week to cover all the positions. Usually they are retirees or church groups. While some shifts aren’t conducive to working people, the food pantry is open for Thursday night and Saturday morning sessions. “Volunteers come and go. They are very hard to find. Right now we are hanging on but we could always use volunteers. I understand that is everywhere. It is a problem everywhere,” she said.

Arrests • One male was charged on Jan. 14 with driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated (Misdemeanor), refusal of a chemical test (M) and expired registration (M). • One male was charged on Jan. 16 with carrying a concealed weapon (M). • One female was charged on Jan. 16 with damage to realty (M) and assault and battery (M). • One male was charged on Jan. 16 with assault and battery of a family

member (M). • One male was charged on Jan. 16 with failure to appear (Felony). • One male was charged on Jan. 16 with possession of marijuana (M). • One male was charged on Jan. 19 with driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated (M). • One male was charged on Jan. 19 with profane swearing/public intoxication (M). • One male was charged on Jan. 20 with driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated (M).

One thing that always surprises and pleases them is that while needs are constantly popping up, so are solutions, Fields said. Powhatan is blessed to have a community where people care about each other, she added. “It seems like wherever we have a need here, it is always met some kind of way through donations of food or monetary donations,” she said. “If people believe in God, this is the way to come see it at work. It is amazing. It gives you chills sometimes. I just think to God be the glory. We certainly would not have what we

have and be in operation right now if it was not for his grace.” Monetary donations should be made to the Powhatan Food Pantry and sent to 2500 Batterson Road, Powhatan, VA 23139. The Powhatan Food Pantry is open from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Tuesdays and 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays at 2500 Batterson Road.

Local World War II veteran, Otis Duke, remembered By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Otis L. Duke didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open up about his days as a World War II soldier until he was in his 90s. After volunteering at the age of 19 on Feb. 19, 1943, he served in the U.S. Army for almost three years, including during the Anzio Beach invasion in Italy, said his son-in-law, Wayne Wright. Like many of his generation, when he came home, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about the war or what he had seen or done. He worked hard, raised a family, and served his community until the day he died â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January, 16, 2019, at the age of 95.

But a few years earlier, Duke had begun to open up a little more about what he remembered of the war. He participated in the Witness to War video project when it came to Powhatan in 2014 and agreed to be interviewed by students participating in Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Veterans Video History Camp in 2016. After growing up in Powhatan, Duke left to go work in the shipyards in Newport News when he was old enough. And in 1943, he volunteered to join the army. His first duty assignment was in April 1944 with the 11th Armor Infantry Battalion of the 1st Armored Division. He was a

light machine gunner and rifleman, Wright said. Duke ended up fighting in the Battle of Anzio Beach toward the tail end of the four-month invasion. Wright said Duke didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk much about the battle, but he did speak about the Germans having a â&#x20AC;&#x153;giant cannon that would bombard them every day and every night.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had to sleep underground because of these shells coming in on a regular basis. He also said he went out on patrols and every night when they came in they had lost one or two people,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. Duke also told about the time he was driving a half-track (half truck, half tank) and a grenade was thrown into the cabin where he was sitting, Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the grace of God it did not hit him. It went into the back of the seat and did not explode and he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gave the credit all to God for not allowing this thing to hit him or explode. He was a man of great faith.â&#x20AC;? When Duke came home from the war in 1946, he built a life for himself. He married in 1947 and he and wife Virginia Duke had two daughters together, both now married, Dianne Billings and Carolyn Wright,

Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife. Duke worked as a car mechanic for a time and then sold Oldsmobiles until he retired at age 65. In his retirement, Wright said his father-in-law just tried to be a help to people and a good community member. He used to make bird houses and baskets he would give away as gifts or to make someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. He gardened and volunteered at a food pantry in Richmond. He came to live with the Wrights on his old homestead in Powhatan about six years ago. Wright described Duke as a man of honor who â&#x20AC;&#x153;loved his country, family and God. And he lived his life by those standards.â&#x20AC;? While Duke didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about the war for a long time, he was a proud veteran who could often be seen sporting a WW II veterans hat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People would thank him for his service. He would say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I would do it again in a heartbeat if it was necessary.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He was a proud veteran,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. Although she was 13 years younger, Ruth Boatwright, a local advocate for veterans, said she knew Duke when they were growing up in Powhatan and through his friendship with her older brothers. She described him as

She talked about his baskets and birdhouses, the way he would buy groceries for others in the community, and the way he visited with families who had experienced a loss. She also recalled how humble he was, especially about his service to the nation during World War II. Whenever she had the opportunity, whether it was church or while he was in the hospital, she made sure people around him knew of his military service and that he was treated well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He

Recipients are chamber members whose service and performance positively reflects excellence as demonstrated through their work ethic and contributions to the Powhatan community. The award honors Budner, who was instrumental in starting the chamber in 1992 and served as its executive director for 16 years. During that time, membership spiked from 42 to more than 230.

After the applause died down, Urbine told the crowd of more than 90 people there, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I am worthy of this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

The nation is quickly losing the last of its World War II veterans and they deserve to be recognized for what they did for not only the United States but the world, Boatwright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These were just boys18, 19, 20 years old â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they went out and saved the world. Some of them had never been out of the county where they were born. Some of them had never driven a car. Some of them had never even been on a tractor. And here we put them in navy ships and sent them across the world to fight,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Budner said Urbine was chosen for the award by a selection committee because he is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;servant in his community.â&#x20AC;? She highlighted the native Powhatan manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service with Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department since 1984; his dedication to the Rotary Club of Powhatan, including currently serving as president in honor of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th anniversary; and his involvement in encouraging tourism and the arts in the county. That included helping with the creation of Fourth Fridays and Village Vibe and being a longtime supporter of Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festisee AWARD, pg. 6

cluded in the program). The ultimate goal of the program is to help foster success and growth – which in turn can increase the county’s commercial tax base – but they also have to meet businesses where they are. Some businesses have expressed interest in expanding – either their location or workforce. Some have random small issues that they need help getting resolved. Some need help making connections in the community. Others are fine now and don’t seem to need any help at this time. “I would love for businesses to know we are coming in as an introduction of ourselves as well as a learning opportunity about their business. This is an opportunity for them to utilize us and learn things we can offer them,” Salerno said.

Economic development Salerno was hired in April 2018 and charged with focusing solely on economic development. While the BRE visits and efforts take up a good portion of her time, her role also includes assisting new businesses, promoting tourism, and site selection/ attraction marketing to bring new business to the county. One of the first things she did after starting her new position was create a comprehensive list of all of the businesses in the county, which hadn’t existed in this form before, she said. From there, she and Schardein started setting up the visits. It starts with the basics – finding out what a business does and why they are in Powhatan. “I have learned that Powhatan businesses are incredibly proud of where they are located. If you ask them why they are here, a lot of them are here because they have some connection. If you ask them what is best about having a business in Powhatan they say it is the community,” she said. Those are simple questions that probably could have been answered in a survey. But what the staff members really wanted was a more in-depth dialogue with business owners about their needs, challenges, and hopes for the future, Schardein said. They wanted to connect with business owners and start building relationships – something that only comes when you begin meeting face to face. “One thing we thought was critical was to not just say we sent out a survey to every business in the county but actually get out there and meet with them,” he said.

The ultimate goal is to take that information and turn around and use it in practical ways, Salerno said.

The number of visits the economic development team can make in a month varies but is tied to several factors. Salerno is devoted full-time to economic development but Schardein has duties overseeing other departments. One idea they tried last year was a BRE Ambassador program, which involved getting Powhatan business people to volunteer to meet with other local businesses, Schardein said. These volunteers start with more of the initial connection work and send on more in-depth needs to county staff. Schardein said they are extremely helpful, but because they have businesses of their own, it also can be hard to schedule meetings sometimes. In 2019, Schardein said he hopes to expand the ambassador program and meet with more businesses, but only as long as they keep up the momentum of quality oneon-one meetings with local businesses. “We don’t want to do it so quick that we can say we got out and met with 50 percent of the businesses this year but it was rushed and not meaningful. We want to be able to take the time and have that interaction, so we are looking at how we can do that,” Schardein said.

housing in the county was a hurdle, Salerno said. “I would say 75 percent of the businesses I meet with have workforce issues and say they can’t keep employees because they come, get trained and then quit and go back to work closer to where they live,” Salerno said. Sometimes helping a business is as simple as contacting the local liaison with a utility company or other service provider to request their aid in solving a problem, Salerno said. Awad said he had tried to work with an internet service provider that was servicing other neighboring businesses but he wasn’t having any luck. County staff knowing the right person to call took away a huge headache. He was also blown away when the staff introduced him to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, the state economic development department, and the results that have come from that. VCU graduate students studying international sales did a free market research project for him to determine which countries would be the best markets for his products. VEDP is also helping him apply for grants that could pay for going to trade shows and on trade missions in other countries. Sometimes the introductions staff makes are between the local businesses. Salerno spoke about Brothers Three Coffee and Tea, a home-based coffee company that is now being sold and served at other venues in Powhatan because of some of those introductions. Computer Upgrade King is a technology company that specializes in providing after-market upgrades to laptops and building custom gaming PCs. That means a younger workforce in the office interested in the benefits popular among millennials,

For instance, if a business owner complained about the sign ordinance and the cost of permits, staff made sure they knew the ins and outs to get the most use of the time they are allowed to have signs on display. “Instead of losing their signs, which we want to avoid because those are not cheap, we want to help you better understand the sign ordinance and use it so you get the best use out of it,” Salerno said. “The last thing I want to see is a business to get a sign and lose it because they didn’t understand or use it properly.” Staff have come across some businesses that needed to expand beyond their current space and, when they couldn’t find what they were looking for in Powhatan, had started looking in other counties as well, Schardein said. Helping them find new locations in Powhatan is a win-win for the business and county. “We have had some businesses talking about when they do grow, in their current building they are at capacity. So, when they go to their next level expansion, whether it is next year or in three years or 10 years, they will need to look at a new building,” he said. “That is a great opportunity but it’s also an opportunity for them to potentially leave the county when they start looking at a fresh start.” A huge concern among some local companies is having a good skilled workforce, Salerno said. Staff started working with Powhatan High School, which has a strong and growing Career and Technical Education program, to see about making connections that could result in internships, apprenticeships or jobs for recent graduates. Of course, that doesn’t magically solve the problem. A large number of business said that not having affordable workforce

said president Anna Hsu. One connection the county helped them make was in getting food trucks to come by the office once or twice a week, which was popular and good for morale. She was also personally introduced to the Empower Hour group for local business women, which has been a fun networking opportunity. Hsu said the company is 10 years old, five of which have been in Powhatan, but the visits from Schardein and Salerno were the first times a local government had reached out to her business in that manner. “It is a good connection to have. Because I know Powhatan is trying to attract more small businesses to come in, I think they are doing a good job by having this economic development team,” she said. Michelle Walters, owner of Island Glow Sunless Studio, Salon and Beauty Bar, said she met with Salerno and Schardein earlier this month and they talked about her business, how it started and her current services. They also wanted to know how they could help with introductions to other businesses in the county that would be a good collaboration for both of them, she said. Walters added she likes the addition of the BRE program and thinks “it is exactly what will attract business to get more involved in the community and attract new businesses.”

val of the Grape. “He is very multi-faceted, and I am sure those of you who know him know that about him. His current festival job – and he is doing a super job – is serving beer..Through the years we could count on Robbie for buying ads for our maps and directories,” Budner said. Urbine is a contributing member of the chamber board, was the youngest person in the history of Ukrop’s Super Market to achieve the position of department manager, and is part owner of Yard Works in Powhatan, Budner said. She added that he likes spending time at Lake

Gaston with his wife of 23 years, Pam, and their children, Chase and McKenzie. Urbine said he had no idea he would be receiving the award and was still shocked that the committee would choose to honor him that way, especially considering the list of people who have received it in the past. Past recipients of the Kathy Budner Award of Excellence are: 2010, Larry Lyons; 2011, Ruth Boatwright; 2012, Dan Jones; 2013, Kathy Grasty; 2014, Susan Ash; 2015, India Cox; 2016, Connie Moslow; 2017, Carson Tucker, and 2018, Michael Potter. The selection committee that de-

cides each year’s recipient is made up of the past award winners. “It’s a big honor. I have seen other people get it and I don’t think I am worthy of this. So many people do great things,” he said. Urbine was doubly surprised when he saw his mother, Pat Urbine, sneak into the event. She had been hiding awhile so she could surprise him and see him receive the award. Pat Urbine said the event fell on her 77th birthday and made it even more special. “I am so proud of my son. I feel like he has worked very hard and I am just very, very proud of him,” she said. “I was very pleased and honored to hear all of that. It warmed a mother’s heart.” She said she learned her son would be receiving the award two months ago and it has been a struggle to keep it a secret. She even managed to do it when he took her out for her birthday earlier that day and she was asking him about his plans for the evening.

Finding a different kind of joy in organizing By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

e knew this was coming. It almost seems inevitable. With the background knowledge of the times in this column that I have shared my struggles with trying to get my home in better shape, as long as I had a Netflix account, it was almost inevitable that “Tidying Up,” which stars professional organizer Marie Kondo, would find its way into my queue. In case you haven’t heard, the show depicts real American families who live with too much stuff and need help getting rid of some of it. In comes a perky Japanese woman who seems so happy about the potential de-cluttering ahead that she could have been cast as the emotion Joy in the animated film “Inside Out” and been a convincing choice. It really wasn’t hard to figure out why this show is so appealing. Whoever chose the families to be helped by Kondo literally pulled together one of the most diverse lineups of types of family I have ever seen as the recipients of her wisdom. So, a wide cross-section of people could look at it and connect to some of those being helped. Added to that, she gives simple, easy-to-follow suggestions and tips; counsels people to take it in steps; doesn’t browbeat the families for what got them in the situation in the first place; and makes them do the actual work. The last was the most important to me, because anybody watching the show who was inspired by it also would be doing their own de-cluttering. Why not give great examples of how we should go about it?

I made it two, maybe three, episodes into the series before I had an uncontrollable urge to try it. I started easy. The sock drawer, which was once chock-full with fun socks in a variety of colors and styles, was winnowed down and then folded appropriately. For my part, I didn’t totally follow her method of keeping things that “sparked joy.” It was a more practical approach. Have I ever worn these? Do I have any clothes that match? If I did have something matched, would I want to put them on right now? If not, the donation pile got another pair of socks and the drawer got slimmer, neater and easier to use. Believe it or not, this is not meant as a big push that you have to go watch this show or read this book or even try to apply this particular method. This is a trend and it will pass. Maybe a new craze or storage technique will come along in a few months or a few years and we will all be trying that. And that’s fine. It would probably be fair to say a good portion of Americans have too much stuff – whatever that is for you. Your choice in housing is dictated not only by how many people will live there but by how much stuff you will bring into it. It takes up your money and keeping it under control so you can still move around your home takes your time and energy. Like it or not, sometimes our stuff seems to rule our lives. For me, the best part of organizing my home – way before I had heard of “sparking joy” – has been making it feel as if I own my stuff, it doesn’t own me. It meant taking a critical approach to what was in front of me and examining what it really meant to me. Do I need that

R E M E M B E R I N G H E N RY F O R D By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnis

No, it’s not the one you’re thinking of. While there’s no doubt the Detroit auto magnate has an enormous impact on American culture and changed transportation for decades to come, the Henry Ford that I remember did not enjoy the same name recognition. For many students who attended J. R. Tucker High School in the 1960s, Ford’s influence was immeasurable and most of us were much more familiar with teacher Henry Ford than the inventor of the Model T. When Tucker first opened its doors, the campus was unfinished and the school felt isolated or even ignored. English Composition teacher Henry Ford was there from day one. His immaculate dress and distinguished aura made him somewhat of an enigma, a sort of diamond in the rough scenario. Like most of my fellow students, I didn’t realize the value of two semesters in Mr. Ford’s class, and didn’t immediately appreciate his dedication to language and the written word. But, no one could attend Ford’s classes without gaining a new respect for words and how to group them to convey a thought or tell a story. I suppose I was in the infancy of becoming an aspiring writer, so the emphasis on composition didn’t bother me. In fact, it held my interest more than any other class, and English was one subject that came easy to me. I was under the false impression that I knew how to write -- and maybe I did have an inclination to the art -- but Mr. Ford’s class enlightened me to just how little I knew and how much I had to learn. For a year, I listened to a man who recognized potential in every student, and raised the level of consciousness of the thousands he instructed throughout the years. He was the first teacher who appreciated my interest in writing and took the time to nurture and refine what he called raw talent. I’m not exactly sure what he saw in me, but he offered me the chance to learn how to write and construct readable copy. Mr. Ford provided tools essential to the craft, tricks of the trade and taught me something he called the perfection of simplicity. He opened a world of wonders by introducing a group of mostly immature students to great artists like Hemingway, Steinbeck and O’Connor.

I suppose there are thousands of stories of inspiring high school teachers who had major influences on the lives of the students they taught, but Mr. Ford instilled in me an interest and dedication to the written word that would last a lifetime. After years enjoying a career I truly love, I often think of those days in Mr. Ford’s class in that barren campus that seemed forever unfinished. As a managing editor, publisher, photographer or reporter, I carried his words of wisdom close and often relied on one of those little tricks learned in his class to improve a story or make it more readable. Throughout those years, I carried two pieces of literature to every office I occupied. One was a list of different ways to begin a sentence and the other was Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Philosophy of Composition.” Both were given to me by Henry Ford, but they are only reminders of what I learned in his class and his personal attention. His encouragement and personal interest in my journey provided a confidence that couldn’t be printed on a sheet of paper, or erased with the hands of time. Sitting in Mr. Ford’s class, I was awakened in a literary sense, and came to the conclusion that composing and arranging words would be a lifelong pursuit for me. In my wildest of dreams, I envisioned that someday that early fascination with words would actually become a career. The pursuit took years, and many teachers refined and tweaked my abilities after Mr. Ford. But, it all began in that small classroom at Tucker with Mr. Ford and his ability to relate to all students and a belief that a little encouragement can provide immeasurable guidance to those willing to listen. After years of teaching English, Mr. Ford became a guidance counselor and assisted even more students as they prepared for college or a career. Looking back, maybe that was his calling — a job that allowed him to become involved in and guide the futures of students, but his words as an English teacher are the ones that still inspire me. Ford’s commitment to the students he taught are not unique but serve as a reminder of the thousands of dedicated educators whose efforts are largely unrecognized. But, the impact on the kids they inspire is a lasting tribute to teachers like Henry Ford and others like him who make lasting impressions, change lives or shape careers. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

many pairs of old headphones? Do I really want to read this book or read it again? For a person who isn’t that fond of cooking, how many of those kitchen gadgets are actually going to be useful? Once those questions were answered, it came to my second favorite part of organizing – getting rid of things. Yes, there were more trips to the trash than usual and a nicely-timed free paper shredding day was an absolute godsend. But there also were bags of clothes to go to local thrift stores like the Clothes Closet here in Powhatan or books to be donated to the library. I have read a few stories saying that a positive byproduct of the KonMari craze has been thrift stores and charity shops seeing an uptick in donations. That sounds like a fabulous idea. The Powhatan Lions Club takes donations of eyeglasses and hearing aids; the library’s Little Book Shop needs books; the Clothes Closet takes a variety of clothes and smaller items; and Habitat takes tools, furniture, items related to home improvement and a variety of other things. There are obviously more options than these, but, in each of these examples where the items are being sold locally, the profits are then used to support local individuals, programs and activities. Do you have old arts supplies or school supplies that are in good condition, if not unopened? Call the school administration office and see if they can use them. When I think that my old clothes could help fund a local nonprofit or the colored paper I wasn’t using could be used by a local child to create their next artistic masterpiece, now that sparks joy.

Guest commentary

Bills for more county control fail to move on By Del. Lee Ware Special to Powhatan Today

hat there are vastly different and competing interests was borne home to both Powhatan and Goochland this week as marquee bills advanced on behalf of both counties were defeated in the State Senate and House of Delegates, respectively. One response to the large proposed landfill OK’d by Cumberland County has been Senate Bill 1761, patroned by Senator Glen Sturtevant, who represents us in the Senate, a bill of which I served as co-patron. The bill would have required—going forward—counties wanting to establish a large landfill or similar facility that would affect surrounding counties to secure a certification of approval from those surrounding counties. SB 1761 was effectively defeated in a Senate committee, 14-0. For Goochland’s supervisors I patroned House Bill 1801, proposing numerous changes to conditional rezoning proffers from developers. Though I was granted several courtesies as a committee chairman, and despite splendid testimonies from Goochland County’s Tara McGee, county attorney, and Paul Drumwright, of the county administration staff, the bill was defeated 5-1 in House committee, after facing broad opposition. Two of my bills fared far better. HB 1650 will allow winners of lotteries exceeding $10

million to remain anonymous. Since both Powerball and Mega Millions have changed odds to generate huge prizes, the safety of prize winners has become a serious concern. My colleagues in the House agreed, unanimously, 95-0. My HB 1682, to streamline dental insurance and coverage by network providers, was approved unanimously, too, 97-0. Coal ash has been a major concern to me, for both Chesterfield and Fluvanna in the 65th House District have large deposits from electricity-generating plants. So, I was pleased to participate in comprehensive agreement between the legislature, the governor, and Dominion Energy, that will ensure clean-up of the ash at a reasonable cost to rate-payers, the Commonwealth, and the company. My floor speech on tax reform and conformity of Virginia’s tax guidelines to the U.S. Tax Code received widespread attention. As noted last week, if Virginia simply “conforms” to the new guidelines of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, our taxpayers would face a significant hike in state taxes. My speech called for the legislature to act sooner rather than later to prevent this, and to act swiftly so that tax-preparers have from us the guidance they need meet IRS deadlines. Del. Lee Ware represents the 65th House District consisting of Powhatan, western Chesterfield, western Goochland, and eastern Fluvanna counties.

OWHATAN – The first period came and went without a change in the score. Jacob Moss and his Maggie Walker opponent, Cole Cummins, remained deadlocked at 0-0 in the Arrowhead Invitational’s 195 weight-class championship match at Powhatan High School. When the two wrestlers reset, Moss started down, and Cummins kept him down before working to turn him over in an attempt to pin him. Moss used his strength to pry himself free… …and then he spun from bottom to the top to put his opponent underneath him, prompting the referee to show two fingers for the two-point reversal. The physical turn was also the turning point in the match. see WRESTLING pg. 2B

So when the BSH senior, strong safety and running back earned First Team All-State honors for defensive HASTY back, it “was astonishing” to him. “I was in disbelief when I heard it.” He wasn’t the only Knight to receive the honor.

Powhatan Boys Basketball’s Deven Van Natter dribbles the ball across the court in a mad dash to the basket for the layup attempt in his Indians’ Tuesday home game versus Albemarle County.

POWHATAN - Powhatan Boys Basketball standout Deven Van Natter achieved a milestone on Friday when he scored his 1,000th point in his Indians’ game at Fluvanna. Van Natter, a senior, has consistently paced his team in scoring this season. He was the leading scorer on Tuesday with 26 points in Powhatan’s 72-62 setback to Albemarle. The Indians concluded the tough but hard-fought week on a narrow 62-59 overtime defeat to Fluvanna. Powhatan Boys Basketball will host Orange County on Friday, Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and will play at Monticello on Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 7:30 p.m.

POWHATAN - Powhatan Girls Basketball put together a strong showing this past week, rolling out a narrow victory, a dominant rout and a hard-fought loss to go 2-1 in the stretch. Freshman Faith Henderson was Powhatan’s scoring leader throughout the week, averaging 15.67 points across the three games. She netted 13 against Albemarle and 12 against Orange County, and then dropped 22 on Fluvanna. “To see a freshman who makes her appearance on the team and coaches don’t know about her, and then when...opponents start watching her...and then the second time around, they know how to defend her and try to shut her down, I feel like she’s taken the next step to become a better playsee POWHATAN, pg. 2B

sitions for the second straight season while at BSH. Prior to his time as a Knight, Freudenthal made First Team All-State for offense while at Trinity Episcopal. “Making All-State for offense and defense was very important to me because that showed that, having received it last year as well, it meant I maintained or improved my skill level, which is something I’m very critical about myself,” Freudenthal said, adding that it was “a great accomplishment and showed that all my hard work is paying off.” Noa Hasty, in his first year playing high school football, made First Team All-State for offensive lineman. “It was a good accomplishment,” he said. “Never really played football before, so just ...hyped that I made it.” And Trevor Parker made Second Team All-State for running back as a sophomore. “I was really proud when I got that accomplishment because that’s the biggest thing I’ve done in playing football,” Parker said. “Just coming from [Midlothian] to here and getting that accomplishment was just really great… it shows my capability and I just want to grow on that.” To BSH Football head coach Shawn Pickett, the four players’ all-state achievements have not only meant a lot to the school, but they’ve also set the example for the players who follow. “We’ve got a good freshman class that, when they see these guys make AllState, I think it gives them something to look forward to next year,” Pickett said, adding in reference to Kemp’s words: “The kids look up to the older kids here at the school...so it’s important that these guys act as role models.” The players who made all state didn’t forget the guys who helped get them there, Pickett noted. “The Kemper Roudabush’s and the

team ahead for good. She scored eight of her nine points in the fourth quarter to help her team rally past the hosting Patriots 15-8 in the final eight minutes. “We were down at halftime, down after the third quarter and just had a really hard, intense fourth quarter,” Coach Henderson said. “That game was a great team effort defensively.” In Powhatan’s 60-33 home victory over Orange on Wednesday, freshmen Henderson and Terry netted doubledigits as Terry contributed 10 points, and every player from Powhatan got quality minutes on the court. In front of a strong crowd at home on Friday, Faith tallied up seven and 13 points in the second and fourth

quarters, respectively, and Katie hit a huge three at the end to slash Fluvanna’s lead to three, but Fluvanna, who led by five throughout much of the game, made key free throws in the closing stretch to fend off the Indians 59-53. Three players netted double figures for Powhatan in the loss as Charlotte Kramer totaled 12 points and Salomonsky added 11. “That game was high-energy, very physical, very intense, very fun to coach,” Coach Henderson said. “The girls gave every ounce of everything they had the entire game. I was very proud of them. Even though we didn’t win, I was very proud of them.”

With this past week, Coach Henderson noted that the positivity off the bench and the team chemistry and unity were evident. She said they’re making each game count and each quarter count, and they’re giving it their best. Three games remain for the Indians as of Tuesday, Jan. 29. They are scheduled to host Western Albemarle on Tuesday, Jan. 29 at 7:30 p.m., head to Orange County for a 7:30 p.m. game on Friday, Feb. 1 and then hold its Senior Night game at home versus Monticello on Tuesday, Feb. 5 at 7:30 p.m. “We’re just continuing to stay the course,” Coach Henderson said, “and hopefully it pays off here in the middle of February.”

Jack Lyons will not be forgotten,” he said. “That’s what makes this group special. They know it was a team effort and that’s what the BSH brotherhood is about.” All four all-state student-athletes contributed to a banner 2018 regular season in which the Knights went 7-2. “We all had the drive to win,” Hasty said. “Once we figured it out together as a team as a whole, it just turned on like a switch.”

for any one of these kids on that field.” Freudenthal called Kemp “an amazing athlete but also a great voice of reason, because football can be an emotional game.” “He can keep people kind of on the right level,” Freudenthal said of Kemp.

starting tight end at Wake Forest. “I’ve really enjoyed the competitive nature as well as the strategy to it, and the bonds you build while playing it,” Freudenthal said. Pickett said that Freudenthal benefited his team with his leadership and experience. Back in December, Pickett also praised Freudenthal as an excellent role model for the school. Freudenthal spoke to having a lot of football knowledge for a team that “had a lot of athletes but not a lot of football players” prior to the 2018 season. “The skill set I’ve provided helped my teammates be able to fill in the gaps,” he said.

Noa Hasty The six-foot-three, 280-pound offensive guard, nose guard and defensive tackle had never played high school football until this year, but he fell in love with it. Pickett said that Hasty lightens up the team, brings good personality and fits well with his teammates. “I think once he started to learn the game, he really turned it on and showed he could play,” Pickett said of Hasty. Freudenthal noted that Hasty brought “really, really good size” to the offensive line, which Freudenthal called “a very vital component.” “He was really fun and had great energy,” Freudenthal added of Hasty, “and he never took it too seriously. Football is supposed to be fun.”

Michael Kemp Kemp played youth football for two years and finished his sixth year playing football for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot this past season. To Kemp, the game of football is “a great way to let off steam and bond with people you’re playing with.” Having been a longtime fixture in the BSH Football program, Kemp felt that he brought a veteran standpoint to the team. Pickett said that Kemp was definitely the heart of the Knights’ defense. “You’d have to get a forklift or something to drag the kid off the field,” Pickett said, “because he’ll do anything

Moss kept command from there, fending off Cummins 4-3 to take first place in the 195 class. “I think my conditioning and heart in the end… won me that match,” Moss said. “He’s a really good wrestler, you’ve gotta give it to him, but I think I just dug deep and pulled it out.”

Trevor Parker Parker has been playing football since he was six years old. He was part of the Midlothian program before transferring to BSH this past year. “I think I made a really good decision,” he said. When Pickett learned that Parker was coming to BSH, he knew they had found a future star. He pointed to Parker’s leadership, his athleticism and his willingness to learn the game. Freudenthal pointed to Parker’s excitement for the game and noted that “he really wanted to be out there and was just having a great time the whole time.” “That really motivated other people,” Freudenthal said, “and he’s really confident for coming in new and that helped some younger kids feel more comfortable with the sport.” The BSH players have accepted Parker into the brotherhood, and the five-foot-11 free safety and running back is currently in line to succeed Kemper Roudabush as the Knights’ next quarterback. “I think I added to the athleticism that was already here when I came in,” Parker said. “I’m hoping next year that I’ll take more of a leadership role...”

Luke Freudenthal The six-foot-three, 290-pound guard and defensive tackle started playing football in Texas and has been playing “since I could first remember anything.” He’s part of a football family: his dad played Division I football at University of the Pacific, his grandfather played at Cal and his brother is currently the

Moss’ triumph was one of many shining moments in an incredible day for Powhatan Wrestling. The Indians had four wrestlers – Moss, J.D. McMillin in 120, Colby Cheatham in 145 and Linwood Hill in 220 – win championship matches. They had the most wrestlers out of all participating schools - which included runner-up King George, third-place finisher Atlee, Peninsula Catholic, Thomas Dale, King William, Clover Hill, Highland Springs and Warhill - win individual championships. “For us, we try to bring in the best competition we can,” Powhatan Wrestling head coach Jonathan Tanaka said. “We want the best competition for our guys so we can prepare ourselves for the state tournament.” They had the two Most Outstanding Wrestlers of the invitational in McMillin for lightweight and Moss for upper-weight. And they won the team invitational championship after missing out on the achievement the last two years. “It’s incredible; winning an individual tournament’s one thing, but winning a team tournament overall is just a whole different feeling,” Moss said. “Coming off that mat when I won it, it just didn’t compare to winning that team trophy.” “I think it shows how…our team is just continuing to produce champions,” McMillin said. “Even after we lose such a strong senior class last year…we’ve come out and we’ve grinded hard and we’re showing as a team that we’re not just individual people. We are a strong team no matter what, and I think that we wrestled fantastic today.” McMillin throughout the day was unleashing his speed to go after and get a hold of his opponents quickly. In his finals match he ballooned the score with the help of takedowns before defeating his opponent, Atlee’s Alex Frowert, by pin. “I just remembered in the wrestling room that I need to start moving my feet more and more,” McMillin said, “and I knew that, once I felt these kids starting to slow down, I knew I was going hyper speed essentially, it felt like.” Cheatham dominated Maggie Walker’s David Winters for the 145 crown. “It means a lot really because it’s in front of your

What’s next Parker is looking to help BSH Football continue to improve, and he hopes to ultimately reach the Division I collegiate level of football. “But I’m focused on the present right now,” Parker said, “and it’s team for next year.” Hasty, who also plays baseball in addition to football, is currently visiting colleges and looking to continue his a career in “whatever gets brought to the table” athletically at the collegiate level. Pickett said that Hasty will have options to play football. Kemp’s plans for the future feature the United States Marine Corps. He wants to be an amphibious assault vehicle technician and repairman. “The call to service is strong within my heart,” he said. “There’s no way I’m ignoring it.” Freudenthal is heading to Elon to play for the Division I FCS Phoenix. “Right now I am focused on getting in shape - just maintaining, conditioning, getting stronger and doing everything I can in my power to be ready to drive down the day after graduation and start classes two days after graduation,” Freudenthal said. “Big things are happening; the recruiting class we have for this year is just filled with a ton of athletes and it’s going to be really exciting.”

home fans; that’s the big thing,” Cheatham said. “I enjoy wrestling in front of everybody here. Especially since we go to a lot of far tournaments like Christiansburg, it’s good to get one at home…” Tanaka reiterated that Cheatham is someone who “has always worked really hard.” “Sometimes the success hasn’t happened as fast as he wanted, but I think that makes the success a little bit sweeter when we get to this point,” Tanaka said. “Now he’s had such a great senior year, and for him, it’s like, ‘Aw man, this is awesome.’” Linwood Hill was consistently finding his way to the pin throughout the invitational. He had a standout match in the morning in which neither he nor his Atlee opponent could get the other off of his feet. But Hill in that match struck first, and he struck hard, quickly parlaying a fiery takedown into a win by fall. “My partner, Jarrett Tronge, he helps me a lot just working [on] certain situations that I’m not good at,” Hill said. Hill closed out the home invite by pinning Highland Springs’ Tre Woodson for the 220 title. “It was my first finals match,” Hill said. “I wanted to show and prove what I could do.” Powhatan flexed its depth across the weight classes. Cole Burton and Issac Trent finished second and third, respectively, in 170. Sean Hall battled his way to second in 126 behind Atlee’s Evan Buchanan who won by pin, and Gavin Timmons finished fourth in the same class. Tronge placed second in heavyweight, and Hayden Fitzsimmons made his way to fourth place in 160. “Just a great day for the Powhatan Wrestling family,” Tanaka said. “Lots of people in the stands, lots of people here to watch.” Former wrestlers and alumni came out and complemented a strong turnout for the daylong event. Tanaka praised the efforts and support of tournament director Richard Fitzsimmons, the Lady Blackhawks who ran the concessions and Shannan Lindhjem who ran the hospitality room. Powhatan Wrestling will host its senior night meet versus Clover Hill on Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 6 p.m., and then will turn its attention to the district, regional and state tournaments.

BSH Girls defeat Southampton Academy By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - Madelyn Mitchell, Katie Schiefer and Elizabeth Carter on Monday, Jan. 21 combined to score all 31 of the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; points in their 31-23 victory over Southampton Academy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team played well together...they look like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having fun. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gelling a little bit,â&#x20AC;? BSH head coach Ethan Sill said after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a big win.â&#x20AC;? Mitchell, an eighth grader, led the way on 15 points and knocked down a pair of threepointers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That boosts her confidence a lot,â&#x20AC;? Sill said. Schiefer scored nine points, including a couple of key free throws in the fourth quarter. Carter netted the remaining seven. Schiefer, Mitchell and Carter passed the ball well to each

other, keeping the ball away from the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; half-court defense throughout much of the game and setting each other up for good looks at the basket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to play well together as a team - especially those three. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking control offensively and playing well together,â&#x20AC;? Sill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus we had some shots fall, finally! Finally! Eventually everybody will be clicking...â&#x20AC;? Schiefer in the first half assisted Mitchell on a couple of long-range jumpers and a three-pointer, then hit her own scoring rhythm with two from the line and a putback to cap a seven-point run in the top of the second quarter. Mitchell hit double figures with over three minutes to play in the first half when she made a jumper off of an assist from Carter, who played sound defense throughout. Carter guarded well on

the perimeter, helping keep the Raiders from breaking through for inside shots on several possessions. She also rebounded well. Carter early in the game drew an and-one try when she turned a defensive board into a fast dash to the basket for two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s...the lock-down defender we need on defense,â&#x20AC;? Sill said of Carter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She communicates, she rebounds, she does everything, hustles. Plus she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out of the game.â&#x20AC;? Southampton Academy was held scoreless until about the midway point of the first quarter, then was limited to jumpers before lacing together back-to-back layups in the second quarter. The Raiders struck gold in the opening minutes of the second half, rolling out a seven-point run. But Mitchell snapped it on a three-pointer, and Southampton Academy struggled from the free throw

line, making just two of 10 attempts overall. But the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense throughout the game did well in guarding the perimeter, preventing the Knights from getting a lot of looks inside and holding them to four thirdquarter points after they rolled out a 21-9 first half against the Raiders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside we just have to have

that attackerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentality,â&#x20AC;? Sill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still settling a little bit for jump shots; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth at the guard position, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing.â&#x20AC;? The Knights bounced back to shut-out Southampton Academy in all but the last 16 seconds of the fourth quarter and proceeded to pull away on three points each from Schiefer and Carter.
