Powhatan board rezones controversial project

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND

Tom Kinter and Mark Kronenthal speak to the board of supervisors about the rezoning of the property on the corner of Anderson Highway and Dorset Road.

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors last week unanimously voted to approve a rezoning request for a project despite some of them using it for months as a poster child on the type of piecemeal development they don’t want to see in the county.

During the board’s meeting on Monday, Jan. 28, the supervisors voted 5-0 to approve a request to rezone 12.148 acres of land at the corner of Anderson Highway and Dorset Road where CVS is located. The six parcels were rezoned from General Commercial (C), Residential-Commercial (R-C), and Agricultural-10 (A-10) to Commerce Center (CC) with proffered conditions.

Before the vote on Jan. 28, the board spent more than an hour discussing the case amongst themselves and with representatives of Jacques Gits, who owns the property.

The rezoning case also unanimously passed the Powhatan County Planning Commission at its meeting on Dec. 4, 2018, but it took three meetings and requests for additional information before the commissioners would send it on to the supervisors with their recommendation for approval.

The corner of Dorset Road and Anderson Highway that once housed May’s Grocery Store now holds CVS, a vacant building that used to be New Horizon Bank, and nearby Blackhawk Gym. When the CVS was built, a road network that will serve the entire development was also put into place.

A conceptual plan that the board asked the developer to proffer as part of the rezoning application shows the proposed build out of the development. In addition to CVS, the vacant bank and the gym are the only current structures.

McDonalds, which currently has a location across the road, is set to relocate to one of the new lots this year. The conceptual plan also shows three proposed lots that as yet do not have tenants.

In some ways, the discussion at the Jan. 28 meeting was a condensed rehash of the controversy surrounding the case that publicly came to light almost exactly a year ago at a board meeting on Feb. 26, 2018. At the time, David Williams, who represents District 1, brought to light that the site plan for CVS had been approved with reduced access see SUPERVISORS pg. 4

Graham Bateson crowned Mr. Powhatan 2019

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Graham Bateson credits high energy, flexibility and a robot with possibly giving him the edge needed to take home the crown at the Mr. Powhatan 2019 pageant.

The Powhatan High School senior and 10 other young men competed for the title in the school’s second annual male pageant, which once again raised money for Relay for Life.

The school’s Leftovers Club sponsored the pageant, which was held on Monday, Jan. 28 in the auditorium. Mr. Powhatan 2018 Khalil Raychouni, who is now a student at VCU, made a special appearance to crown the new winner.

Zacary Jasper was named runner-up.

The crowning of Bateson was the culmination to a night of singing, dancing, strutting, posing and sharing some laughs. When the competition was narrowed down to himself and Jasper, Bateson said he was extremely shocked when his name was called.

“I expected others to do much better than CONTRIBUTED PHOTO me. I didn’t think I had the charisma or spirit. I Mr. Powhatan 2019 Graham Bateson, left, is shown guess when I went onstage I just put what I had

R-C zoning workgroup struggles to find resolution for all

By Laura McFarland POWHATAN – The R-C zoning workgroup struggled to move closer to a resolution as it met last week to discuss how to serve both the county as a whole and individuals in the question of whether to eliminate a zoning district.

The workgroup was appointed in December 2018 by the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors to look at the county’s plans to possibly eliminate the ResidentialCommercial (R-C) zoning district. The county has been considering doing away with R-C, which would affect 509 parcels in the county, but recent pushback from R-C property owners and developers has made the process slow down.

Senate panel backs bill to assure sentence of at least life in prison for capital murder of a law enforcement officer

By Michael Martz and Justin Mattingly Richmond Times-Dispatch

I

t didn’t take long for the Senate Finance Committee to act after the widows of three slain Virginia State Police officers gave emotional testimony in support of legislation that would prevent anyone convicted of capital murder of a law enforcement office from being sentenced to anything less than life in prison.

The committee voted unanimously on Wednesday, Jan. 30 to approve Senate Bill 1501, proposed by Sen. Bill Carrico, R-Grayson, a former state trooper, who harnessed the anger of the widows

of officers killed in the greater Richmond area about what they called public indifference to the lives of law enforcement officers.

“No murderer of a law enforcement officer should ever go free,” said Betty Walker, widow of Trooper Junius Walker, who was shot to death after pulling up behind a disabled vehicle on Interstate 95 in Dinwiddie County on March 7, 2013.

Walker’s killer, Russell E. Brown III, was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison. The Virginia Court of Appeals upheld the conviction and sentencing last year after defense lawyers argued that Brown was mentally ill when he shot the trooper.

Trooper Chad Dermyer was shot to

death during a state police training exercise at the Richmond Greyhound station on March 31, 2016. State police shot and killed his assailant, James Brown III, a violent felon from the Chicago area who was traveling to North Carolina.

“Enough is enough!” said his widow, Michelle. “Every time I hear a story about a law enforcement officer being murdered, my heart breaks.”

She also read a letter from Jaime Walter, widow of Special Agent Michael Walter, who was killed during a traffic stop in Richmond’s Mosby Court public housing project on May 26, 2017. His killer, Travis A. Ball, was convicted of capital murder, but his sentence was reduced to 36 years because of court testi-

mony about his abusive and traumatic childhood.

“The decision was grossly insufficient, devastating and disgusting,” Jaime Walter said her written message to the committee.

Former State Police Superintendent Wayne Huggins, now executive director of the Virginia State Police Association, said reduced sentencing in a capital murder conviction of a police officer is rare, “but it happens.”

The committee also voted 8-7 to approve a bill proposed by Sen. Jennifer Boysko, D-Fairfax, that would create a state work group to develop an annual report on law officers’ use of deadly force. Carrico voted no.

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution honoring 16-year-old Jacob Boykin for an act of kindness to a single mother. His parents and the family he helped stood with him as he was honored.

Jacob Boykin recognized by supervisors

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan teen and Food Lion cashier who drew widespread praise in January for helping a single mom pay for her groceries was honored last week by the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors.

During the board’s meeting on Monday, Jan. 28, Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, read a proclamation honoring 16-year-old Jacob Boykin for his actions while working a shift at Food Lion on Wednesday, Jan. 16.

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.

Boykin, who was working at a nearby register, stepped over to find out what was going on.

When he heard the situation, he ended up paying for Corey’s groceries. She later went on Facebook to

thank Boykin for his actions and say how much his kindness meant to her family.

Boykin’s parents, Joanne Parm and Thomas Boykin, stood with him while he was recognized.

Corey and her children also attended the event.

The proclamation that Tucker read praised Boykin’s actions and said his “kind and generous deed demonstrated a caring and sensitive attitude toward his fellow man.” It said his actions “provided a positive role model for Powhatan County citizens and inspired us to follow his example in helping those in need,” Tucker read.

Bill Melton, District 4, told Boykin “you truly get it” and commended his parents for raising a fine young man.

Chairwoman Angie Cabell, District 3, also commended Boykin for doing a fine job and thanked Corey for sharing the story.

Corey spoke during the presentation and said she posted the story of what happened online because it was the only way she could think to thank

the teen for his kindness.

She said she is a single mom who works but has had to move in with her family because she couldn’t afford to raise her children on her own.

“Powhatan has been incredible for my children as far as their education and the people that we’ve met, but I still struggle.

And when we stood there and I couldn’t buy the groceries, it was a moment for me where I was like, ‘this is hard but we’ll get through this,’” she said.

She then turned to Boykin and told him that he still doesn’t know what his actions meant to her because he never hesitated.

“There are always great people everywhere; Powhatan is full of them.

But you don’t always realize just how close to home it is until something happens to you and you see. I am just forever grateful not just for what he did for me but also for the lessons he is teaching my children about the kind of people I want them to grow up and be,” she said.

Three Powhatan County residents have been charged as suspects in a Jan. 15 robbery of a BP gas station on Hull Road in Chesterfield County.

At about 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 15, a man entered the gas station at 13721 Hull Street Road, displayed a knife and demanded money from the register, according to a release from the Chesterfield County Police Department. The suspect fled the area with an undisclosed amount of cash.

No one was injured during the incident.

management standards that were below both county and Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) requirements.

Another ongoing side effect was that this case and the one involving Luck Stone – each with initial development under transition zoning districts to be followed by a rezoning for the rest of the project – helped spur the county to start taking action. The board first

limited the R-C zoning district’s allowed uses in 2018 and now is discussing whether to eliminate it altogether.

Although Williams spent the better part of an hour at the Jan. 28 meeting peppering Gits’ representatives with questions and said he didn’t like voting for the project, he ultimately did so because he conceded that the developer hadn’t actually done anything wrong. Gits was within his rights to develop the CVS project by-right un-

Supervisor David Williams asks questions about a rezoning request for a project at the corner of Anderson Highway and Dorset Road.

der C and R-C and even the reduced access management standards, which Williams has been very vocal about in the past 11 months, were requested openly and approved by county staff. “I found the folks to be completely straight forward. Nothing has been hid, obfuscated or anything like that. It has been us. ‌ We approved everything right on down the road. Now if we don’t like the product that has come out of the oven as a result of our approvals, we need to change,â€? he said.

After the meeting, Mark Kronenthal, Gits’ attorney, said simply, “The unanimous approval speaks for itself.�

Although more than one board member spoke during the consideration of the rezoning case, the questioning and discussion was dominated by Williams. He started by having planning director Andrew Pompei give a brief rundown on the history of by-right development in the R-C district and this development.

Williams then asked questions of Kronenthal and Tom Kinter, principal at General Land Company, the contract developer. He also spoke with Kevin Reichert, resident engineer for VDOT. During the hour-long

discussion of the case, a variety of topics were brought up: Phases – At a few points in the meeting, Williams especially pointed out that even though CVS was built separate from the rest of the project, it was always intended to be a project in multiple phases, with C and R-C development followed by a rezoning. He referenced emails he had received to that effect.

Kinter argued that rezoning was never part of the plan for the project.

The rezoning became necessary because of needed lot line adjustments, he said. He also said that it would be wrong to say the internal road structure was built just for CVS and not for access to the entire development.

Cohesiveness – With two existing buildings remaining on the property and CVS coming in by-right, having a cohesive look and feel to the development was something supervisors wanted but expressed doubts about seeing.

Conceptual plan – Before the planning commission would recommend approval in 2018, the members had requested a conceptual plan to be included in the application that showed

the full build out of the project as imagined, including all of the entrances and exits. The board of supervisors went a step further and asked if the developer would add that conceptual plan as a proffer. They wanted some assurances that the project they are approving today without all of the future tenants known would be the same one that ultimately ends up there.

While Kronenthal initially hesitated because the developer does not know who will be using that empty space and they needed flexibility to meet the business’ needs, Kinter eventually stepped in and said it would be possible since there isn’t much that could change in the road design.

Access management – While reduced access management standards didn’t crop up as much as in previous discussions, it was an issue.

Also of note were two residential entrances at the back of the property that will close when those dwellings are vacated and replaced with additional space dedicated to a commercial project.

Williams also asked Reichert about the safety on Route 60 with too many ingress and egress points. Reichert pointed out that while it can be an issue, in this case, the property went from having eight entrances to only two on Anderson Highway.

Open space – Williams pointed out that the development has to have 15 percent open space, but because the CVS project was done separately, it is not included in the total project, thereby reducing the amount of required green space.

Proffers – One of the main criticisms of R-C zoning that was brought up again in relation to the early stages of

this development was that it limits the county’s opportunities to get offsite proffers, road dedications, help with SMART Scale projects, and lack of input from the planning commission and supervisors.

Speed - Larry Nordvig, District 2, asked Reichert to look into another speed study on Dorset Road because of its current heavy load and the prospect of it getting worse.

Public hearing Three members of the public spoke during the public hearing: Ron Nichols spoke against any additional entrances to Dorset Road, citing the high volume of traffic already on the road. He also raised issue with the dangerous speed limit, the existing high volume of traffic and the risk for residents.

Victoria Ronnau, who is an advocate against a proposed landfill in Cumberland County, pointed out the high number of trash trucks that would be driving Powhatan roads if it is built. She urged the supervisors to plan for that.

Right before the vote, Carson Tucker, District 5, made several points, including reiterating Ronnau’s point about the high volume of trash trucks and the impact it will have on the county.

Jimmy Keller represented Citizen Bank & Trust Co., which has a loan production office and intends to open a branch in the former New Horizon Bank building.

The bank is anxious to see that deal go through, but in order to purchase the property, the rezoning needed to be approved, he said.

in and I came out to be Mr. Powhatan,” Bateson said. “However, I cannot stress enough that the other contestants put in so much effort, tried so hard and really enjoyed themselves just as much.”

Highlights of Bateson’s performance for the evening included his tongue-incheek talent – putting his legs behind his head – as well as being accompanied by a robot he dressed in matching props to travel with him through each stage of the competition. The robot was made by the Powhatan Spear 13804 robotics team at the school.

“When I went to Party City initially, I was picking up some silly things and thought, ‘why don’t I just throw some of it on the robot?’ I picked up a hula skirt and hat for the robot and then found a tie I could put on it and some sunglasses,” he said. “It slowly became a thing and I was adding more and more until I was adding very last minute – taking things off and putting them on the robot instead.”

Christian Miller, the advisor for the PHS Leftovers, described Bateson as a fun guy who goes with the flow and is genuinely gracious. The young man was truly thankful when he was announced as the winner.

He added that it was a stiff competition, especially between Bateson and Jasper, who is a returning contestant who is very charismatic and and a natural performer.

“It was a hard competition between the two. For most of it, there was a tie between those two,” Miller said.

Bringing back the Mr. Powhatan pageant for a second year was a no-brainer to Miller after the amazing job the students did in 2018 and the reception of the community.

This year’s event surpassed the first competition, raising more than $1,600 to donate to the fight against cancer. He said the audience was much bigger for this year’s competition and the talent in the contestants just as diverse as the first year.

This year’s contestants were Bateson, Jasper, Jordan Berry, Harry Hayden, Joshua Jordan, Collin Lawson, Jordan

think about who is affected by cancer, and that is the reason they came,” Miller said. “There are ways to fight cancer that are pretty somber and sacred. But this is a fun way that we can give our loved ones the attention and honor that they deserve.”

Bateson said he initially hesitated to participate but was motivated because one of his favorite teachers is going through chemotherapy and he wanted to help.

The contestants started the show with a group dance choreographed by Anna

Markland, Trey Moore, Ray Pleasants, Benjamin Wojcicki, and Andrew Worthington.

Several of the contestants competed in the first year of the pageant and eagerly returned to join with some newcomers in the fight against cancer. Miller said organizers always stressed that as the main purpose of the pageant, both to the contestants and the audience.

Causey, who directed the show and has been working hard with other organizers on the project since October 2018, Miller said. While she stayed behind the scenes, Danielle Bigham and Lily Nelms stepped out to emcee the show.

The contestants competed in five categories: active wear, swim wear, talent, formal wear and an interview. The active wear competition showed off the talents of the young men, who are all involved in some kind of extracurricular activity, while the G rated swim wear category showed off their silly sides.

Powhatan man found not guilty of embezzlement

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan man charged with two felony counts of embezzling funds in an amount greater than $500 from a family trust was recently found not guilty in a bench trial.

Donald J. Balzer Jr., 63, of Powhatan pleaded not guilty to the charges he embezzled funds from the Balzer Irrevocable Family Trust in 2012 and 2014.

During a hearing on Thursday, Jan. 24, Circuit Court Judge Paul W. Cella listened to the case laid out by Powhatan County Commonwealth’s Attorney Richard “Dickie� Cox and defense attorneys Craig Cooley and Stephen Conte.

At the end of the trial, which lasted about half a day, Cella found Balzer not guilty.

Cella told the court that his not guilty ruling was based on the Commonwealth failing to prove that it was Balzer’s intent to defraud or permanently deprive the beneficiaries of the money, Cox said.

Although the actions Balzer was accused of occurred several years ago, he was arrested and indicted in fall 2018 when a family member brought evidence that was analyzed by Cox’s office and

WORKGROUP Continued from pg. 1

Contributed Report

the sheriff’s office.

The trust was set up when Balzer’s mother was under a disability and contained about $85,000 from the sale of her home, Cox said. Her daughter, Mary Ann McAden, had power of attorney but Balzer and his brothers, Thomas R. Balzer and Craig Balzer, were trustees.

He said the investigation turned up evidence that in 2012, Donald Balzer removed $80,000 from the trust to pay off a line of credit, and in 2014 he took out $2,500 in cash. He later repaid the money in 2016.

Cox said that Cella ruled since Donald Balzer paid the trust back, the Commonwealth hadn’t proved intent to permanently deprive the beneficiaries of the assets. However, “the court did say the trust was mismanaged by him,� Cox said.

The Balzer family has a long history of involvement in civil engineering, development and construction. While the criminal charges were resolved with the not guilty verdict, the family is still involved in civil suits related to these issues.

had been suggested, but nothing definitive was decided or voted on.

Two ideas that were not voted on but also did not draw criticism were to allow property owners who want to downzone from R-C to Agriculture (A-10) to do so voluntarily at no cost and to come up with a special solution and possibly even compensation for property owners who rezoned to R-C at the county’s recommendation.

The board of supervisors created the R-C zoning district on Feb. 13, 1984, and applied it to all properties within 500 feet of Route 60 between the Chesterfield County line and Route 522. Most of the 509 parcels up for discussion fit in that category, but in a few cases, property owners who wanted to do a certain mix of business and residential projects were advised R-C would best meet their needs.

Nordvig said at the end of the meeting that he wants the workgroup to meet one more time in February and at that meeting they need to come up with the recommendations asked for by the board of

the start of the meeting he intended to review what the group had discussed when it previously met on Jan. 7 and then move onto the areas where they have been charged with making recommendations to the board.

However, only a few minutes into the review, including the basic list of pros and cons of the R-C district that had been brought up at the first workshop, a few committee members started to question the veracity of some of the points being made. While Nordvig tried to keep the committee focused on the narrow topic and actionable items they had been charged with discussing, opponents also brought up topics such as R-C’s role in the comprehensive plan; the decision supervisors made in August 2018 to severely limit by-right uses in the R-C zoning district, and the way people have been notified by the county at different points in the process that all of this is going on.

By the end of the meeting, a few actionable items

supervisors. “We are not looking for 100 percent happy; we are looking for, can you live with it and both sides going, ‘Yeah, I’m not 100 percent happy, but I can live with it,’� Nordvig said.

Key points While Nordvig did present the pros and cons of eliminating R-C, the actual discussion wasn’t that black and white, especially since committee members kept bringing up topics the committee wasn’t charged with discussing or solving.

Instead, some of the key points made during the meeting included: County attorney Tom Lacheney was asked about different legal ramifications in the meeting and addressed those he could.

He pointed out the R-C zoning district is very limited now because the supervisors stripped the majority of their by-right uses in August 2018. Regarding some arguing that the county is trying to take away their property rights, he pointed out that the top courts in the land have ruled they have the right to

Williams had nominated Nordvig for chairman and Nordvig reciprocated in the vote for vice chairman.

The election itself passed without comment from any of the board

After the meeting, Cabell said she was honored to be nominated because it wasn’t “just my turn.�

In relation to the argument about downzoning hurting a property’s chances of being developed, Lacheney said developers tend to factor the cost of rezoning into a development project and will pay it if a property has the right location and assets to meet their needs.

Lacheney said he was confused why people would want to pay higher taxes on their land in the hopes they will someday develop and pointed out some are not even large enough to develop. He also pointed out how limited the current by-right development options are in R-C and said they would likely have to rezone anyway.

His recommendation was to look at a phased approach to transitioning away from R-C, starting with people who want to downzone so they will be paying lower taxes.

Committee member Pete Burruss took issue with the county’s idea of land assemblage to bring in huge cohesive projects and use of terms such as “strip zoning� to paint a picture and “stack the deck� in favor of eliminating R-C zoning.

When another committee member mentioned that people weren’t paying attention when R-C’s uses were stripped, Burruss pointed out that the county only advertised that action (meeting the legal requirements); with the possible elimination of R-C, the county sent out letters to affected landowners. He questioned why, if the county supports transparency, it didn’t do a better job of informing the landowners about taking away the uses. (The reduction of uses came up throughout the meeting as it was obvious many people were still unhappy this had taken place.)

Committee member Robert Royall said he tried to do some thorough research into the issue between meetings and come up with some viable solu-

tions and understand it from all angles. One issue he explored thoroughly was how the county’s long range comprehensive plan is supposed to guide zoning, but that doesn’t always happen in practice.

Despite the area from Flat Rock to Academy Road mostly being shown as Rural Residential in the comprehensive plan, it has a large number of businesses, ranging from office buildings to gas stations to restaurants and more, he said.

He was one of the few to suggest an actionable item that got away from split zoning. With larger parcels, he suggested dividing parcels into two so that there would be a commercial portion in the front in the first 500 feet and behind that would be a second residential parcel.

Nordvig several times made the point that R-C zoning had been around since 1984 and hadn’t achieved the kind of rapid and smart commercial growth that was intended. Instead, the county has a massive imbalance in the ratio of taxes coming from commercial to residential taxes, meaning local taxpayers are bearing most of the burden.

He said the county wants attractive, inviting commercial growth that in turn makes the county seem more inviting to other business to locate in the county.

Supervisor Angie Cabell cautioned against any blanket statements that all fees be waved in relation to rezoning as that work still has an impact on county staff’s time. She also pointed out that the loss of property tax revenue is expected to be about $300,000, which is about a penny on the county’s tax rate.

Because many people have referred to their properties as investments or part of their retirement plan, committee member Michael Potter questioned if the committee could look at some way to factor in intent or current plans for future development. “We want the least amount of impact on someone’s plans,� he said.

Committee member Karla Curtis questioned that approach because ei-

ther a property owner has a plan or doesn’t. She said the county can’t zone based on intent.

She also pointed out repeatedly that R-C is listed as a transitional zoning district that is going away.

(It was pointed out that in the ordinance, no new zoning is allowed into the R-C district.)

Public comments – During the public comment period, local residents made several points.

Victoria Ronnau said she wanted to come up with a solution that wouldn’t come back to bite the county 10 to 15 years down the road. She pointed out some residents have plans in the best interest of Powhatan, but if they die or sell their land, the future owners might not have those same intentions.

Buck Tilman asked how much input will he have in the say of what happens to his land if R-C goes away.

Rula Sorenson disagreed with the idea there would be no loss in property values. She also questioned the county’s expectation of “neighborly love� in the face of trying to make sound business decisions about what to do with your property. Taking away by-right options and making owners go through the rezoning process puts an extra burden on them when they are just trying to make sound financial decisions.

Jimmy Vlasidis, owner of Four Seasons Restaurant, gave an impassioned speech about worries of losing equity on land his family owns in the county if it is downzoned. He said he spoke with three banks and was told it would mean a loss of 70 to 80 percent of the land’s value.

He gave the example that if he wanted to make improvements to his business and went to a bank to get a loan, they wouldn’t see the land he holds as enough equity if it was downzoned. He criticized the county for not being business friendly and failing to instill confidence in residents that Powhatan is a good investment for their future.

People are hungry to hear good news

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – People want good news.

At various times throughout my journalism career, I have heard the criticism that the news media is a black whole of negativity and you should only watch, read or listen to it if you want to be depressed.

Unfortunately, sometimes that feels true. We continue to read about political fights, murder, a justice system we can’t always get on board with, natural disasters, acts of terror, accidents taking people too soon, violence, theft … this list doesn’t stop. Of course, the media gets a lot of blame for this, when the most negative aspects of human nature should be forced to share some of the blame.

But rather than debate the state of the news media or even the world at large today, I want to talk about our desire – nay, our desperate hunger – for kindness.

On Jan. 16, I received a Facebook message from a woman named Erica Corey. She shared a story with me that she had already shared on her own Facebook page with friends. She was at Food Lion with her two children and wasn’t able to pay for her groceries. She was willing to come back later, but a 16-year-old cashier named Jacob Boykin overheard her struggles, came over and, without any hesitation, paid for her groceries.

Erica was moved, the people she shared her story with were touched, and I agreed wholeheartedly that the teen’s simple act of human of kindness deserved to be recognized. So I talked to Erica that day about her experience of what happened and reached out to Jacob.

He met me the next evening at the Powhatan County Public Library, where I had gone to attend the first open house related to the updating of the comprehensive plan.

Jacob was a little flabbergasted by the attention he was receiving for an action he viewed as something he was obligated to do by basic human decency rather than a choice he had to make.

Those of you who read the story hopefully came to understand Jacob a little better – as I did when I sat and listened to his views on life during our 45-minute conversation. It wasn’t possible to share everything he said because we covered so much, but, suffice it to say, if you were impressed with his responses in the story, you would have been doubly so by the full interview.

At one point, Jacob said he hoped his actions would be an example to other youth of how to treat people, but he didn’t limit it to his peers.

“I don’t think this applies just to young people. It applies to everybody. If you see somebody struggling – if you see somebody that needs help and you have the ability to help – help them,” he said.

N O RTO N D I D W H AT H E LOV E D

The story ran in the Powhatan Today and was shared on Facebook. The next thing I know, a few dozen people had commented to commend Jacob and the post was shared more than 200 times. During the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ Jan. 28 meeting, the board invited Jacob and his family and Erica and her family for a special recognition of Jacob’s actions. The two families stood together as Carson Tucker read a proclamation in Jacob’s honor and then Erica talked about how much Jacob’s act of kindness had meant to her.

It was a lovely progression of events and a good reminder of why random acts of kindness are so important. You never know whose life you will touch or change at a time when they are experiencing their own struggles and darkness.

“Young or old, I think as human beings it is something we don’t think about. We are trapped in the moment and we take advantage of having money in our bank account. Meanwhile, people can’t even afford to feed their kids. That, to me, is the real thing we should be focusing on,” Jacob said. “With all of the wealth, all of the opportunities and the incredible things God has blessed us with, it is our responsibility to give back to other people.”

In the three years the current board has been in place, they have navigated a change in county administrator and approved major bond projects for the county – including the new Powhatan Middle School, the joint transportation facility, and the courthouse expansion, which is the only one of the bond projects still not completed and in use, Cabell said.

“While it is slow to wrap up, it will be wrapping up in our four-year term and that was a big bite to do. It was a hefty bond and it was done with a lot of concern for the impact it would have on the citizens,” she said.

She pointed to the projects the board has set up for the future, including a new county land mobile radio (LMR) system, a new convenience center in the eastern end of the county, and improvements to the library. She also pointed to the lengthy work to update the comprehensive plan and subdivision ordinance alongside the planning commission and county staff.

“We’ve just been taking care of a lot of business. While it hasn’t always been seamless, it has always been with Powhatan’s best interest at heart. I think that characterizes our board and that is what I look forward to working with in the future,” she said.

In 2019, priorities for her will be the continued expansion of broadband access in the county, wrapping up the comprehensive plan and the annual challenge of passing a budget that represents the needs of citizens.

Cabell has lived in Powhatan County since 1970 and lived here since then except for a few years away. She is the executive director of the chamber of commerce and is mar-

ried with one daughter.

Melton served for 12 years on the Powhatan County Planning Commission and is going into his eighth year with the board of supervisors. During that time, he has served as both chairman and vice chairman of the board.

“It is always humbling to be elected by your peers, and I have no hard feelings for anybody who didn’t support my vote. That is their choice and that is what makes democracy work,” he said.

Melton also lauded the board’s efforts in the past few years to issue the bonds that rebuilt the middle school, replaced a bus garage after more than 30 years of knowing it was a need and updated the emergency communications 911 system. He also pointed to the county’s bond rating increasing and the board enacting better financial controls.

Going into 2019, he said the board is faced with finishing the update of the comprehensive plan and addressing the different housing choices in the county and how to handle those going forward. The county also needs to address the Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning district in a way that is right for all parties and adopt a budget that accomplishes the goals they have set.

He also reaffirmed a need for the board members to treat everyone with respect, even when they disagree on issues.

Melton has lived in Powhatan for 25 years. He and his wife of 40 years have two married sons, two daughters-inlaws, and four grandsons. He is currently employed in the beverage industry with a local distributor. He enjoys all outdoor activities, especially with his grandsons.

POWHATAN – Taking on two games this past week, Powhatan Girls Basketball bounced back from Thursday night’s 50-42 home game loss to Western Albemarle to rout Orange County on the road 58-38 on Friday.

Freshman Faith Henderson led Powhatan in scoring in both games, netting 16 and 15 points against Orange and Western Albemarle, respectively.

Also at Orange, Michala Taylor and Macie Tiller each made nine points.

Orange kept it close in the first quarter as Powhatan led 13-9, but the Indians took command on a strong second quarter to lead 34-20

Powhatan wrestlers sweep Senior Night

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN -- The bleachers rumbled and the home crowd’s cheers rose to a crescendo as the duelling wrestlers tumbled about on the mat.

One of those wrestlers was senior Wes Coward, who was taking on what will probably go down as his final match wrestling for Powhatan High School.

He made it one to remember.

Wes piled on the takedowns and near-falls while throwing in a reversal, and the senior wrapped up the contest early in the second period on a crowdpleasing victory over Clover Hill’s Will Burkey by a 17-2 technical fall in the 138 class.

It was also his first tech fall win, and

he got it on Senior Night.

“He’s in it for the right reasons,” Powhatan Wrestling head coach Jonathan Tanaka said of Wes. “He’s in it for the teammates....I can’t ask anything more of the kid. He’s given us everything that he has and then some. He’s always there, he’s always accountable and he’s always at every workout.”

All seven Powhatan seniors who were honored on Wednesday suited up and took the mat against the Cavaliers.

All seven won, putting the exclamation mark on the Indians’ 77-0 sweep of their young opponents in Powhatan’s final match of the regular season.

was going in.

“I was like…there it is,” Van Natter recalled with a bright smile. “I just finally got to the club.”

He had just achieved a milestone that family members before him – his mom, his dad and his uncle – had all reached in their basketball careers.

Deven Van Natter had just netted his 1,000th career point.

“When that happened,” he said, “I got like an adrenaline rush.”

His teammates cheered him on. Van Natter also heard his parents cheering for him. Even opposing Fluvanna, its head coach and fans of Fluvanna were happy for him, Van Natter said.

“It was just a great experience for me,” he said.

“I’ll never forget it, just being at that foul line, knowing that this is the shot right here that is gonna put me over the top and get me into that record book to get 1,000 points,” he said. “I like that it happened that way, that I had that pressure, because I’ve enjoyed having that pressure of making that shot and everybody is watching…”

He became one of two Powhatan Boys Basketball players – the other being Shawn Minor – to achieve the feat.

For Van Natter, it was special to see that his teammates, his coaches and his family were all there at that game to see him reach 1,000. Among them was Powhatan Boys Basketball head coach Steve Washburn, who first coached Van Natter when he was

Had Orange County’s earlier shot gone in, the difference in the lead between Orange and trailing Powhatan could have been 10.

Instead it was four.

Orange County did hold on to edge Powhatan 79-76 in a memorable battle, but Van Natter delivered a performance to remember. He netted 40 points. He knocked down six three’s. He shot 14for-14 from the free throw line. He made three and-one’s. He willed his team back into the game on two huge treys in under a minute to play.

It was the kind of performance that showed how he achieved over 1,000 varsity career points, a milestone for which he was honored right before Powhatan’s game versus Orange.

“He’s a special player,” Powhatan head coach Steve Washburn said of Van Natter. “He just does some special things with the basketball and he’s an honor to not only coach but just to know him…I’ve known him since he

about eight years old and has gotten to see him grow and develop as a player over the years.

“Some things have never changed though with him: he’s always been such a hard-working player and he’s constantly been working,” Washburn said.

Even when Van Natter was eight, Washburn remembered seeing him work on his jump shot and different parts of his game. “He’s always had the drive and the determination to get better and it’s only increased as he’s continued to work his way up.”

With Powhatan Boys Basketball celebrating Senior Night, seniors Van Natter, Henry Adkins, Ben Wojcicki, John Varel and Gavin Clark comprised the Indians’ starting lineup, and seniors Norman Watson and Chipper Ford came into the game around the midway point of the first quarter.

Varel hit the opening four points of the game.

Van Natter knocked down two early go-ahead three’s.

And Adkins drove the lane for a bucket to break a 10-10 tie.

But Orange County’s Chance Williams stole a ball, sprinted to the basket on a fast break and slammed the ball through the hoop on a one-armed dunk, tying the game at 12-12 at first quarter’s end.

Ford’s strong stand on the defensive end for Powhatan parlayed into a goahead three by junior Kyle Williams, and after Orange went ahead again on a 7-1 run, Williams put his team back into the lead on two quick points inside

and a jumper outside, and Van Natter capped his team’s seven-point run on his third trey of the evening.

Van Natter also drew a foul from behind the arc with 2:15 to play in the second quarter, and he shot three-for-three from the free throw line. He added two more foul shots to reach 14 points by halftime and keep his team in a 30-29 lead.

The lead changed hands several times throughout the third quarter before Orange County made a big three and key points from the line to extend its lead to seven.

Then Van Natter cut it down to four going into the fourth on his buzzerbeating half-court miracle shot.

But Orange County featured clutch performances from Jaylen Alexander and Daniel Carter, who combined for 16 points in the fourth quarter alone.

Van Natter’s pair of three’s slashed the visitors’ lead down to three points with half-a-minute left, and an Orange County turnover gave Powhatan a shot to tie the game or further cut into the lead. But Orange was able to get the ball back when a Powhatan player was

at halftime.

As with Powhatan’s last game against Orange, players on the bench were able to gain quality minutes on the court.

“It was a good win on the road, that’s for sure,” Powhatan Girls Basketball head coach Kristy Henderson said. “It is always tough to play well on the road.”

The Indians on Friday were playing without Reese Vandell, who was out sick. Freshman Kayla Terry was out sick for Thursday’s home game.

Powhatan’s home game versus the Warriors was closer than the 50-42 score indicated. Taking on a team that improved to 19-2 on Friday and won the Jefferson District title on an unbeaten 13-0 district run, the Indians bounced back from an early 8-0 deficit to tie the game at 18-all in the second quarter on two three-pointers from senior Katie Henderson and the tying three that was knocked down by Vandell.

But Elisabeth Coffman drained a pair of treys for six points in a seven-point run that saw Western Albemarle lead 25-18 at halftime.

him, that he was going to need his teammates and that he was going to do whatever it took to win games.

That big season opener would also lead to Van Natter drawing more attention and coverage from opposing defenders as the season went on, but Powhatan in that opener also flexed its team depth with several different players passing the ball well, successfully defending Monacan and finding their way to the basket.

More attention on Van Natter has meant more opportunities for his teammates like Chipper Ford, Jay Harris, Ethan Johnson, Henry Adkins, Norman Watson and Kyle Williams to make plays and score crucial points.

Van Natter this year has watched his teammates grow as basketball players, and seeing where they shine has helped him to become a better point guard and a better passer.

“He’s always been a guy that’s done whatever the team’s needed him to do to be successful,” Washburn said. “It hasn’t always been about the points; it’s always been about the team’s overall success and that’s what makes him even more of a special player.”

Coaches from the collegiate level have come to scout Van Natter, with interested schools including Christopher Newport, Fork Union and HampdenSydney.

“If the opportunity came about to where they offered me to play ball, I’d be there to do it in a heartbeat,” Van Natter said. “I just love basketball; I don’t ever want to imagine a day where I’m not playing ball.”

to help Powhatan close the gap to two possessions, and Salomonsky and Katie each contributed a threepointer while Faith and Charlotte Kramer each added two points from the line to further shrink the Warriors’ advantage down to 44-40 with 1:25 left to play.

But a six-point run that featured five free throws

Burns on a 9-1 first period before pinning him in the second. Connor Benway shined in the 152 class for Powhatan, pinning Ethan Dobbins in the first. Cole Burton also earned a big first-period pin for a win over Malakai Lewis. Jacob Moss at 195 unleashed four straight takedowns before picking up a couple of near-falls on the way to pinning Jaylan Williams deep in the first period. And then Jarrett Tronge, wrestling heavyweight, pinned Abdo Kamal in 45 seconds.

“Tonight was a really, really fun night for the Wes Cowards and the Connor Benways, the Cole Burtons, our unsung heroes...guys that have put in a lot of, a lot of work in this program, toiled and worked really hard and didn’t necessarily get all the accolades but showed up everyday,” Tanaka said. “Those are kids you really, really appreciate. Those are kids who make your program.”

Up until the 220 class matchup, the meet flew by

ruled out-of-bounds, and the visitors held onto their narrow lead in the closing seconds.

Despite the loss, Powhatan fought to the very end.

“I think that’s kind of been their calling card all year, is this team has fought,” Powhatan head coach Steve Washburn said of his players. “They’ve given me everything they have…the effort has always been there.”

Behind Van Natter, Williams netted 14 points for Powhatan.

Washburn still feels that his players have some great games left in them, that “they’re gonna work hard as they always do” and that they can give teams some tough competition in tournament play.

Powhatan has one more scheduled regular season contest left to play – an away game at Monticello on Tuesday, Feb. 5 – before taking on the district tournament and then the Region 4B tournament.

“All I can ask is we continue to work on those things that we’ve been working at,” Washburn said, “and maybe some breaks will start to go our way.”

made by Coffman helped the Warriors take command of the game in the closing stages.

“I was a little disappointed in our play on Thursday night...it’s nice to play the top team well and to be close, but I really just felt like we should’ve, could’ve, would’ve won that game,” Henderson said, “and just didn’t have maybe the intensity and the fight in us as we’ve had in the past.”

Western Albemarle used its height, athleticism and strong post play to its advantage to snag offensive rebounds that proved crucial to its winning effort.

“With height like that, the double-team in the post and making sure that we’re boxing out on rebounds is crucial,” Henderson said. “I think we had a few missed opportunities on that.”

Powhatan’s defense kept the team in the mix, with senior Katlyn Hicks honing in on the ball throughout the contest.

“She always gives 100 percent,” Henderson said.

“She really works people...they have to work really hard against her defense, and sometimes we get in their heads and cause some problems and Katlyn’s just really good at that, and she’s accepted that role as a defensive player.”

Powhatan Girls Basketball is holding its Senior Night game on Tuesday, Feb. 5 versus Monticello.

as Powhatan’s wrestlers racked up the pins, and none of the individual contests extended past the second period. Hayden Fitzsimmons, wrestling at 160, was the quickest to the pin, defeating Kamari Watkins in 26 seconds. After Fitzsimmons was Gavin Timmons, who pinned Evan Ryan in 35 seconds. Jack Mundt, wrestling at 182, pinned Adam Davilla in 47 seconds.

There was a scare in the 220 match when Jackson Burkey stayed on the mat on his back after a takedown by Powhatan’s Linwood Hill. Burkey appeared to injure his right arm. Hill was declared the winner by injury default. Burkey was able to get up and wave to the applauding crowd, and Hill embraced him after he got up.

Eighty-five-pound Dylan Coward did get pinned by Chris Velez in a 106 bout, but Dylan was awarded the victory by forfeit prior to taking on Chris, who is currently an eighth grader. Aiden Littlefield picked up a win by forfeit in 113.

“Just happy that we were able to have one more fun night before regionals,” Tanaka said.

Powhatan Wrestling will host the Region 4B tournament on Friday, Feb. 8 at 4 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 9 at 10 a.m.
