Supervisors take first look at FY 2020 budget By Laura McFarland News Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently got its first look at the county’s fiscal year 2020 operating budget. During a workshop on Monday, March 4, county administrator Ted Voorhees laid out how the fiscal year (FY) 2020 operating budget fits in with the current economic outlook at the local, state and federal levels. The proposed FY 2020 budget is $62.3 million, which is an increase of $1.17 million from the FY 2019 adopted
budget of $61.1 million. These numbers do not yet include the full proposed budget from Powhatan County Public Schools, which the supervisors will not see until Monday, March 18. The county administrator is proposing an 88 cent real estate tax rate, which the board had previously adopted for FY 2019. Based on an 88 cent tax rate, the FY 2020 budget calls for $29,973,228 in total local support for the school district, which is 59.10 percent of net total taxes for the county. The total support figure includes a transfer of $23,346,750 and $6,626,478 in debt service. The board had another budget workshop on March 11 and is scheduled to
have a joint meeting with the school board to hear its budget presentation at 6 p.m. on March 18. All meetings are held at the Village Building. At the regular meeting at 6 p.m. on March 25, the board is scheduled to adopt its personal property tax rates and decide what budget to advertise. After that, the board can decide on lower tax rates or to reduce the budget but can’t increase either of them without re-advertising. The board has a workshop to discuss the capital improvement program (CIP) at 6 p.m. on April 11 and public hearings on the budget and CIP at its meeting at 6 p.m. on April 22. The board is supposed to adopt the
budget, real estate tax rates, CIP and fee schedule at its meeting at 6 p.m. on May 9. Documents pertaining to the FY 2020 budget can be downloaded at http://www. powhatanva.gov/424/Budget-CIP.
Revenue and expenditures At the overall level, the county is expecting a General Fund increase of $1,399,530, or 2.6 percent, Voorhees said. Within that, there are expected increases in real estate taxes at the 88 cent rate, $264,130 (0.8 percent); personal property taxes, $802,622, (9.5 percent), see BOARD, pg. 3

County administrator Ted Voorhees, left, talks about the county’s new performance management system.
All of the departments worked over the past six months to really think about how their work is broken down by program and then to develop appropriate measures by those programs so the county can track workload, efficiency and effectiveness and begin to use that as both a management tool and a reporting tool to the public, Voorhees said.
Voorhees pointed out in the meeting and in a separate interview afterward that the new system is not perfect and some things about it may change as the departments begin work with it. “We will learn by doing. We will see as departments move forward how they use those measures. They may learn that a different measure is better or
a different way of collecting the information is better and they will adjust as they go,” he said. “But if you wait until everything is perfect before you deploy it takes too long. It is better to prototype it, launch it, and roll with it. We did a pretty good job of getting that going.” Documents pertaining see COUNTY, pg. 4

POWHATAN – The end finally seems to be in sight on the construction of a courthouse expansion that is several months past its original projected completion. In September 2018, when construction workers broke through the
walls of the Powhatan County Courthouse building to begin connecting it to the $3.6 million expansion being added onto its back, the outlook wasn’t good that Richmond-based contractor Daniel & Co. Inc. could meet its already extended substantial com-
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently got to cross an item off its wish list with the implementation of a new performance management system launched alongside the fiscal year 2020 budget. During the board’s meeting on Monday, March 5, their budget book for fiscal year (FY) 2020 included a section that showed where each department had set up a metric system to measure its success. Voorhees said creating a performance management system was a goal for the board before he was hired and he is excited to begin some serious implementation.

Local group supports efforts to bring smiles to kids worldwide By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The power of a child’s smile is immeasurable. Today, there are children all over the world who may be smiling in part because of help from a group of local Powhatan County women. The Woman's Club of Powhatan was recently visited by Dr. Sam Fuller, a retired plastic surgeon who does surgeries with Operation Smile. The international medical charity has provided hundreds of thousands of free surgeries for children and young adults in developing
countries who are born with cleft lip, cleft palate or other dental and facial conditions. The Woman's Club of Powhatan has supported Operation Smile’s mission for more than 30 years, said Janet Hamrick, club vice president. The Woman's Club manages the Powhatan Clothes Closet, which is the main source of money for their many philanthropic projects. She introduced Sam Fuller and his wife, Carol Ann Fuller, who came to speak about Operation Smile at the club’s Feb. 27 meeting at Passion Community Church. After a presentation from the Fullers
on Operation Smile, club members showed them 74 hospital gowns made by club members for the children Operation Smile helps. The volunteers donated the funds, materials and sewing skills needed to make the gowns, which is a first-time project for them. Club members will deliver them to the headquarters in Virginia Beach in April. Operation Smile was founded in 1982 by Dr. Bill Magee Jr., a plastic and craniofacial surgeon, and his wife, Kathy Magee, a former nurse and clinical social worker. They traveled to the Philippines with a group of medical volsee SMILE pg. 6

Voorhees announces he is vying for another job By Laura McFarland News Editor
P
OWHATAN – County administrator Ted Voorhees recently told the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors that he is one of three final candidates being considered for the position of city manger of the city of Charlottesville. Voorhees made the announcement on Monday, March 4 at the end of the board’s first budget workshop. He said that the Charlottesville City Council was expected to announce the three candidates’ names the next day and he wanted to tell the supervisors in person rather than them reading about it somewhere. Voorhees said after the meeting that he was approached by a professional consulting firm the city hired to apply for the position. Charlottesville is a unique community that Voorhees said he has admired from early in his career, so it was surprising
BOARD Continued from pg. 1
and other taxes, $79,200 (1.3 percent). The Utilities Fund is showing a decrease of $91,784 (3.3 percent). The county still subsidizes $2 million of the $2.5 million Utilities Fund from the General Fund. None of the Utilities Fund numbers were calculated assuming the county may acquire the Founders Bridge Co. If that transaction does go through, the numbers will be recalculated, Voorhees said. On the expenditures side, the county is recommending a balanced increase of $1,399,530, or 2.6 percent, Voorhees said. This includes $1,238,931 for county expenses, which is made up of debt service, $324,901; capital projects, a decrease of $192,900; employee compensation, $728,324, and department operational expenses, $378,606. The $1.4 million also includes an increase of $301,674 to the school district, a reduction in contingency of $24,917 and a decrease in the changes in other transfers, $116,158. The department changes the budget proposes are clerk of court certifications; a county administrator part-time associate; a animal control part-time increase; an emergency management part-time increase; a community development tech part-time increase; a director of elections assistant fulltime (half year) increase; elections officials needed to help during elections, and the Comp Class Phase II implementation. It also includes changes to operating expenses: HR software; the tuition reimbursement program; 911 operating/communications; a recycling contract increase; IT enhancements, IT/budget OpenGov; corrections to the billing for the GIS contract; warranties for the voting machines and paper ballot costs; social services increases, and public works facilities. These facilities include changes to the gym at Pocahontas Middle School, the courthouse expansion, the Skaggs Road building renovation, and field lights. Voorhees also outlined a long list of
when the opportunity came open. “While I wasn’t actively looking and I’m not looking at any other opportunities, this one presented itself and I feel like it is a pretty good alignment with my skills set. So, I thought I would take a crack at it,” he said. Chairwoman Angie Cabell, who represents District 3, was not at the workshop but received a phone call from Voorhees with the news. She said in a separate interview that Voorhees has done an excellent job moving Powhatan County forward as county administrator and will continue to do so. “He has been nothing but professional in all of his dealings while acting as our county administrator, and his transparency while making decisions to explore career opportunities that are best for him and his family is displaying that same level of professional integrity,” Cabell said. “He has every right to do so, and it is disappointing
department requests that were unfunded.
Employee compensation The proposed budget includes a 3 percent pay increase for employees, Voorhees said. This is in response to a state-driven push for a 5 percent pay increase for teachers. The schools and county gave a 2 percent increase in FY 2019. If the school district is willing to give a 5 percent increase over FY 2019 and 2020, it can receive some state funds toward standards of quality (SOQ) positions. This will not cover all of the raise even for those required positions. There has been a projected increase in Compensation Board Revenue for constitutional officers of 2 percent, but the remainder of the county and the additional 1 percent for constitutional officers is county funded, Charla Schubert, director of finance, said in a separate interview. The county proposed 3 percent to be in line with the schools and other surrounding jurisdictions. This raise would cost the county $306,049. Voorhees requested the county absorb the 1.8 percent increase in employee health insurance rates, totaling $25,652. He brought charts that show most of Powhatan’s peer localities are paying a higher percentage of health care costs, and he is reluctant to keep widening that gap too far. Also included are the second half of a pay plan structural adjustment costing $313,933 and new positions totaling $82,690. All of these personnel issues will add $728,324 in employee compensation to the General Fund.
School funding While the school board will not present its budget until March 18, Voorhees gave a brief overview. Although it is not a formal policy, the county generally transfers about 52 to 53 percent of the net property taxes to the school division. Using the 52-48 ratio, the school division would receive $301,674 in new revenue in the proposed budget. During the school board’s last meeting on Feb. 26, Larry Johns, as-

that some are taking the unjustifiable and politically-driven opportunity to question him.” After the news of Voorhees’ candidacy for the job was announced on social media, several people commented on an incident in February 2018, when Voorhees became upset at the way supervisor David Williams, District 1, was questioning a staff member. Voorhees sent an email saying Williams would have to request information from county staff through
sistant superintendent for finance and business operations, gave an updated presentation on the school district’s budget, which is still being adjusted. He was able to present a balanced school budget at that meeting of $48.3 million, which was an increase of about $1.3 million from the adopted FY 2019 budget. The local county transfer portion of the total proposed FY 2020 budget is about $23.3 million. Voorhees said the county is waiting to see how the Commonwealth’s budget might impact the county. He also talked about an unfunded request for an additional school resource officer (SRO) sought by the sheriff’s office and the school division. He pointed out that having an SRO at the middle and high schools gives the adjacent elementary schools closer coverage, while Pocahontas Elementary is farther away. Sheriff Brad Nunnally, who was at the meeting, said there are three SROs – the ones assigned to the middle and high schools and a sergeant who floats between all five schools. He said he is trying to get back to the level his office had before the recession, which was four SROs in six schools. Voorhees also noted in his presentation that the county has provided significant expanded CIP support for the school district, including the new middle school, which opened last fall, and more recently, funding the new performance contracting energy project and renovating Pocahontas Middle School to have the school administration officers there.
Economic outlook Before digging into the details of the upcoming budget, Voorhees took a quick look at the current fiscal year. He pointed out that the current estimated revenues for FY 2019 are $58,034,590, or about $1.5 million less than the estimated expenditures, which are $59,567,742. The numbers take a conservative estimate of revenues and forecasts spending 100 percent of the budget, which the county typically doesn’t do, he said. However, in FY 2020, the projected expenditures at
him. “If the Board cannot support me in this, then I will no longer be able to serve as your County Administrator and will begin seeking other employment,” he wrote, according to an email released through a FOIA request. On March 5, the city of Charlottesville announced that its city council would interview three candidates for city manager on March 6 and invited the public to observe the round two interviews, either in person or via livestream. In addition to Voorhees, the city council is considering Michael Mallinoff, former county administrator of Charles County in Maryland, and Dr. Tarron Richardson, city manager of DeSoto, Texas. According to a release from the city, the city council gave serious consideration to seven of 37 applicants and interviewed four candidates on Feb. 20. The three finalists were invited back for a public process. In addition to the public inter-
views by council and community meet and greet, finalists also met with staff and community panels on March 6 and 7. According to a brochure for the job, whoever is awarded the position is required to move to the city within 90 days from his date of employment. When Voorhees took the job in Powhatan in spring 2017, he and his wife bought a house in Powhatan. She also works here and they will still have one son in Powhatan High School, which are logistics he would have to figure out if he was hired in Charlottesville, Vorhees said. “There is no certainty to any of this, so I probably don’t need to say a whole lot until we see if something else is going to happen. I have enjoyed my time here and I still am enjoying my time here. I really appreciate the staff and the citizens. It’s a great community,” Voorhees said.

$59,698,190 are slightly less than the projected revenues, $58,709,677. Upon hearing this, David Williams, who represents District 1, wanted assurance that the county wasn’t planning to overspend or dip into its fund balance. It is the county’s policy to maintain a General Fund fund balance at 15 percent of operating revenues. Voorhees assured the board this was a worstcase scenario to provide the most conservative estimates. Also important to understand is the state and federal economies and their potential impact on Powhatan, Voorhees said. Using information from the governor’s budget staff, he said economic growth in the Commonwealth was projected to moderately strengthen in FY 2019 through FY 2022 relative to FY 2018. Employment is forecast to increase 1.7 percent in FY 2019 – faster than the 1.4 percent increase in FY 2018, he said. Overall, employment is expected to increase 1.1 percent in FY 2020 and 0.6 percent in FY 2021 as the federal government stimulus fades. Federal government spending was virtually flat in calendar year 2017 in Virginia but is expected to grow 3.6 percent in calendar year 2018 and 4.4 percent in calendar year 2019, he said. “Certainly some people talk about recession, but again, at this point, none of the fundamentals are pointing that way. I think more of it is just this idea of how long can this expansion go on? It’s hard to know. We are already in the territory of the longest expansion of anybody who has been doing this work,” Voorhees said.
Priorities Voorhees reminded the board that when building the budget, staff kept in mind the strategic priorities: economic development, quality of life, housing choices, broadband, quality public education, social safety net, and Powhatan’s unique sense of place. Staff also set out with goals of having no tax increase; capturing natural revenue growth to fund the board’s goals; giving the board options if cuts are necessary, and presenting a separate plan for enhanced fire/rescue services. Because fire and rescue will likely involve coming up with a separate plan, that was scheduled to be discussed at the budget
workshop k h on M Marchh 11 11. Strategic priorities funded in the proposed budget include: economic development program sustained; Advanced Life Support (ALS) expansion; fire/ rescue staffing (separately presented); 911 operational increases and the Eastern Convenience Center. Strategic priorities not funded in the proposed budget are library service enhancements and the Recreation Master Plan implementation. He pointed out that broadband is a priority through building partnerships rather than capital outlay. Additionally, there was no funding in relation to housing choices since the policy debate about what the county wants is ongoing.

to the FY 2020 budget can be downloaded at http:// www.powhatanva. gov/424/Budget-CIP. The section on performance management starts on page 1-56. Currently, each department has a section that describes its staff numbers, operating budget, programs within the department, key performance measures, targeted goals, and FY 2019 highlights. The key review data – target goals and key performance measures – is very specific to each department. For example, in the building department, some of the targets include lowering permit issuance time to 10 business days or less and developing a web-based application and payment process by the next fiscal year.
March 1
• A deputy responded to a report of a breaking and entering in the 1500 block of Running Fox Drive. • A deputy responded to a report of harassing text messages in the 2500 block of Anderson Highway.
In economic development, the targets are to meet with 50 percent of existing brick and mortar businesses by the end of FY 2020 and increase tourism revenue by 10 percent of FY 2020. Some of the key performance measures the circuit court clerk’s office tracks include the number of passports issued, deeds processed, civil and criminal cases processed, concealed handgun permits processed and wills/estates processed. In the parks and recreation department, some of the key performance measures are the number of scheduled tournaments, percentage of tournaments completed, and concessions revenue generated. During his budget presentation, Voorhees explained that county staff looked at how other localities have implemented

performance management systems and then came up with a template to help the departments develop a similar framework. Then they further evaluated the data to decide what would be the most valuable to track and measure and reflect the county’s productivity. “We can still tweak things if after a year or so we don’t like a particular measure or we think oh we need to add something,� he said. “This is our first attempt to have every department broken down by program with measures.� Voorhees added that he wanted to implement a system that was actually useful and not just a topdown driven budget exercise that is ignored the rest of the year. When asked about possible incentive programs tied to the system down the line, Voorhees talked briefly about gainsharing programs, in which employees share financially in the gain as performance improves, or using operating savings for special projects. Bill Melton, District 3, complimented the focus on buy-in as part of the performance management program. Career development is a key part of several of the system. He pointed to the example of one of the targets in the building department being to develop an employee retention program to include multiple levels for achievement.

tives, said it is good for the board to know what the targets are and how much money is going toward those targets so they can immediately see the return on investment. “In fact, we can track it during the year if we get really good at this. More importantly, the public can see what kind of return on investment am I getting on my tax dollar? I think that is crucial. It is good accountability and it is a good way to do business,� he said. Regarding putting performance measurements online for the public to see, the county is starting with its chart of accounts and staff hope to address it over the next couple of weeks, Voorhees said in a separate interview. “We will build off of that. We don’t have a firm project timeline at this point. We will be working to develop a project plan over the next few weeks,� he said. During the meeting, Voorhees extended appreciation to several departments that do not fall under the county administrator’s hierarchy but still willingly participated in the performance management exercise. He thanked the constitutional officers, social services, cooperative extension and the department of elections for coming with an attitude of being “on the same team� even though they didn’t legally have to participate.

pletion date of Sept. 27, 2018. Substantial completion is the date when a certificate of occupancy can be awarded. Ramona Carter, director of public works, was correct in her doubt as one delay after another – many of them weather related – kept pushing the work back. Almost six months later, the end really is near, with a temporary certificate of occupancy for the first floor issued on Feb. 26, making it accessible and usable by the sheriff’s office. If all goes according to plan, a certificate of occupancy for the entire building could be issued next week, she said. Throughout the building project, staff has been frustrated by the delays – both the ones that could be controlled, such as ordering the wrong materials, and the ones that couldn’t, like the weather, she said. “Weather was part of that but there were a couple pretty major mistakes (Daniel & Co) made that triggered a redesign by the architect. Fixing those issues caused delays,� she said. Christian McIntosh, facilities supervisor, added that “weather affected everything.� For instance, when the pavement was done in January, there was literally a one-day window when conditions were right and workers were available. Carter and McIntosh both pointed out how complicated the building project is, especially in the tight space available for staging a construction site on the back of the courthouse. There is also the complication of layering in security and systems for three separate agencies – district court judges, emergency 911 communications and the sheriff’s office. “Just the logistics were far more complicated than a standard commercial

project. The addition prior to us was not as complicated,� McIntosh said. If the county were to award all of the contractor’s requested time extensions, the expected substantial completion date deadline on paper would be Jan. 2, 2019, Carter said. If the contractor reaches substantial completion by March 22, the company will be 79 days behind schedule. If the county were to claim liquidated damages, it could claim up to $600 a day for 79 days, or $47,400, she said. The county will pursue liquidated damages for added costs for the architects’ additional time, furniture storage and redelivery fees, and additional staff time, she added. County staff isn’t taking anything for granted as they near the finish line because they know it doesn’t take much to throw off the entire schedule. Most recently, the elevator that will service the building failed its initial inspection on Feb. 28 on two counts. Both issues were resolved and it was expected to be re-inspected and approved by the end of last week, Carter said. One issue was with the elevator’s telephone line, which worked but didn’t show its location to dispatchers, a simple programming error that was fixed the same day by Verizon. The second issue was with the specifications of a sump pump at the bottom of the elevator that had to be changed. The delays on the elevator bumped work back another week, because furniture that was sitting inside the sally port downstairs was only waiting for the elevator to be certified before it could be moved upstairs, Carter said. Once the furniture is installed and the project reaches substantial completion, two key things happen. First, the 30-day countdown begins for the

contractor to finish all remaining “punch list� items such as painting, fixing holes in the wall and finishing the connections to the courthouse upstairs, which is one of the last tasks that will be done. Additionally, emergency 911 communications will begin the final steps to move its staff into its new space on the second floor. Tom Nolan, emergency 911 communications director, said he expects to have his personnel relocated and his 911 dispatchers operating in their new space by the first week of April if everything goes according to plan. Nolan said the most primary equipment is close to being installed, such as the radios, telephones and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system. He expects it to be done by the end of this week and begin testing next week. Delays, if any, would come from making sure all of the equipment necessary for good work flow is set up, such as a fax machine and a VCIN (Virginia Criminal Information Network) printer. The current environment can only fit three consoles, but the new center has room for six consoles, Nolan said. While the staffing isn’t going to change for the time being, the extra consoles can be used for different reasons.
“Logistically, it provides us plenty of opportunities to train and overstaff for emergency situations or preplanned events. It provides us the opportunity to make repairs to individual positions and still have enough positions for three people to work in other spots if need be,� he said. The plan is to duplicate the three regular console positions’ phone, CAD and radio systems upstairs. Then, when the switchover occurs and the new space is fully functional, the current equipment will be brought upstairs and put at

Solar farm withdraws application after board denies appeal By Laura McFarland News Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently partially voted against a solar project that had significant community opposition, but the application was withdrawn before they could take full action. During the board’s meeting on Monday, Feb. 25, there were two public hearings regarding Cartersville Solar LLC’s plans to build a solar energy farm on 1,090 acres of a 2,998-acre property near the intersection of Cartersville and Duke roads. The first public hearing was an appeal of the Powhatan County Planning Commission’s 4-1 decision on Nov. 7, 2018, to recommend denial to the board of supervisors. The planning commission determined that the proposed use is not in accord with recommendations made in the 2010 LongRange Comprehensive Plan, in

unteers to do a talk on repairing children’s cleft lips and cleft palates, Sam Fuller said. They planned to do some surgeries as a training tool but were overwhelmed with the need. “About 800 children showed up to be screened, and they were prepared to do the astronomical number, at that time, of 30 cases in a few days,” Fuller said. The Magees started taking small groups back to the Philippines once or twice a year to do surgeries. They soon realized that to really make a dent, they needed more money, equipment, and volunteers.
particular since part of the project would fall into the area designated Priority Conservation Area and Protected Land. The board heard a presentation from Parker Sloan with Cypress Creek Renwables, including the plan that 400 acres of the project would be a proposed conservation easement. Then the board opened the public hearing and listened to comments from seven citizens opposed to the project and one, the landowner, in support. Afterward, the board then unanimously voted to deny the appeal of the planning commission’s decision. At that point, the board began hearing the case on Cartersville Solar’s application for a conditional use permit (CUP) for the solar farm. The company didn’t do another presentation, so the board immediately went into the public hearing. In total, seven people spoke against and one person for the CUP application, but the point was moot after the
second comment because William Shewmake, the attorney for the solar project, withdrew the application. Tom Lacheney, county attorney, pointed out that if Cartersville Solar’s CUP was voted down, they would not be able to re-apply for a year. By withdrawing, the company could reapply in six months, according to the county code. Shewmake noted that if Cartersville Solar did come back again, the company would have to acquire additional land so it would be a substantially different project. Among the citizen comments that were made, most were in stringent opposition because of the negative ecological impact the project would have on protected wetlands in the area, the only remaining wildlife corridor connecting the James and Appomattox rivers, and on rare and endangered species. The landowner, speaking on behalf of Powhatan Properties Land and Lumber, said if the solar farm was
not approved all of the trees would be cut down for timber. Other business handled at the meeting included: The board considered a rezoning request from Powhatan Plaza LLC for about 14.34 acres of land located north of Anderson Highway at its intersection with Luck Stone Road. The request was to rezone the parcels in question from four different zoning districts to Commerce Center Planned Development (CC-PD) with proffered conditions and amendment of the zoning district map. The board ultimately was unanimous in its decision to approve the rezoning case and there were no citizen comments during the public hearing. However, David Williams, who represents District 1, gave a brief presentation on why the project was another example of the need for the elimination of the Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning district.

Celebrating women’s history is fascinating By Laura McFarland News Editor
A
few weeks ago, a poem I heard really hit home. During the annual MLK Jr. Youth Day Community Celebration, keynote speaker and Powhatan High School sophomore Iyana Palmore recited Ernestine Johnson’s poem, “The Average Black Girl,” which talks about the preconceived notions about black women but turns them around and celebrates famous black women who paved the way for others. At one point in the poem, the author talks about great women who paved the way with their actions and achievements. The poem mentioned Civil Rights heroines Ella Baker, Diane Nash, Septima Poinsette Clark, Fannie Lou Hamer, Daisy Bates, Anna Arnold Hedgeman and Dorothy Height. As much as I have read or heard on the subject of the Civil Rights movement, most of those names were unfamiliar to me, which is a shame. Because as you begin to read about their struggles and triumphs, it is truly awe-inspiring. I was reminded of that speech during a recent visit to the Powhatan County Public Library, when I saw the display that staff created in honor of March being Women’s History Month. The library put an appealing spin on its display by focusing on Virginia women in history. It is a simple yet thought-provoking display with the most important element, as always, being the books and movies people can check out to learn more about
the names splashed across the cover. Although I am sure the offerings change regularly as items are checked out, the diversity of women highlighted in that moment was wonderful. There were a few books on Pocahontas, a Native American woman who was born near present-day Jamestown and fostered peace between English colonists and Native Americans by befriending the settlers. She was the daughter of Powhatan, who also was chief of the Powhatan empire. One book told the story of Mildred and Richard Loving, an interracial Virginia couple whose struggle to be together went all the way to the United States Supreme Court and ended with all state laws banning interracial marriage being found unconstitutional. When I think of the courage of both of them, Mildred Loving, who was fed up with laws that discriminated against her marriage and decided to fight them, stands out. There was a book on Martha Washington, the wife of the first U.S. president, George Washington. Here’s an interesting fact I didn’t know about Martha until recently: She was married at age 18 to Daniel Parke Custis, a man 20 years her senior, and had four children with him, two that survived infancy. About eight years into their marriage, Custis became ill and died and Martha was faced with the task of running a household and estate and raising her two children. Two years after Custis’ death, Martha married George, a commander of the Virginia militia, and brought her great wealth and two children to the marriage. There also was a documentary on Patsy Cline, the country music singer I became more familiar with

Looking for a kinder gentler nation? Good luck! At least, that’s the line we are constantly fed about a population that is losing its softer edge, more willing to confront than compromise, and often not willing to listen to the opposing point of view. And watching the national political passion play on television might lead one to assume that some of those observations are accurate. In that arena, it certainly seems the gloves are off and a noholds approach is clearly the chosen path, often disregarding what could result from common sense thinking or reasonable conversation. I suppose the real question is how are things on the street. Have we digressed to a society that has no patience, no compassion, no understanding of the plight of our fellow men and women? I’m not buying it. I certainly won’t argue that the pressures of living in 21st Century America can cause a degree of anxiety, and handling the daily pressures affects us all differently. And, there is evidence that those stresses are finding their way into our daily activities, and confrontation seems more prevalent. For example, last week the claws came out in an incident in Alabama where two customers were arrested after a fistfight broke out over crab legs. Both were in the buffet line waiting for a replenished supply of the tasty treasure to be delivered. A policeman explained the group had been waiting for the crab legs for about 10 minutes, and folks began jostling for position as the tray neared the buffet line. “They’d been waiting there for the crab legs for a good 10, 20 minutes. When they finally came out, it’s very heated — especially if someone is taking more than their fair share,” said Hunts-
ville police officer Gerald Johnson in a New York Post story. The two combatants used all available weapons in the scuffle — breaking plates and eventually squaring off in a sword fight using tongs usually reserved for retrieving the cause of the ruckus. One combatant was charged with disorderly conduct and the other was arrested on an assault charge. Now, I certainly would not take this isolated incident as clear indication our edges are hardening and we are becoming a less forgiving nation. It probably says more about the popularity of crab legs than it does about a decaying society. But, I saw something the other day that made me reconsider. While waiting in a long line at the grocery store, the adjoining checkout line opened. You’ve been there. There was an instant race to the recently opened line, and, as usual, the folks who have been in line the longest found themselves at the end of a newly formed line. Also routine, none of us said a word like “Why don’t you take the next person in line?” or “You weren’t next” to the two or three who benefited from faster feet and an oblivious sense of fairness. All except for one elderly lady who moved the slowest as she made her way to the front of the newly opened line. “I think I was next in line,” she said. The bigger, faster customers who had made their way to the front cleared a way for her and she assumed her well-deserved place at the head of the line. I later pondered if her actions were a sign of our dismayed society and our decreasing ability to show patience and compassion, or if it was a signal that people are more willing to stand up for themselves. In any case, she was my hero of the day, and it was a small sign that justice is alive and well. And, what about civility? It’s still around. Sometimes, you just have to go to the front of the line to find it. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

while living in Winchester, where she was born and raised. Cline had a huge impact on country music, especially at a time when the success of female performers was considered secondary to that of male performers. Last week marked exactly 56 years since she died on March 5, 1963, in a plane crash, at the age of 30. The list of available resources, just like the history itself, goes on and on. Virginia has a rich history of women who influenced how the world around them developed, just like the rest of the United States and the world. Whether you are checking out a book or movie from the local library or looking online at websites and stories dedicated to women’s history, what you will find is fascinating and worth a look. In 1980, then-President Jimmy Carter issued the first presidential proclamation declaring the week of March 8, 1980, as National Women’s History Week. (Congress first designated March as Women’s History Month in 1987.) Given my age, I am more familiar with the former president’s more recent human rights work, but I found a quote from him from 1980 that made me smile. "From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

opment leads to tensions with the applicant, doesn’t allow for public input, and involves no review by the board of supervisors or planning commission, he said. He pointed out that the project’s existing entrances, which were approved under the first part of the project done by-right, do not meet the county’s access management standards. He also raised issue with the new Burger King being on a split-zoned parcel, the business’ signage not meeting county standards, and bicycle and pedestrian requirements that are not part of the road development. This was the first case since the board made a change to the county code that the supervisors, and not county staff, are the only ones who can approve a reductions on intersection spacing requirements. As he had on a similar presentation on the project around CVS at Dorset Road and Anderson Highway, Williams pointed out that Luck Stone had not done anything wrong; the county approved standards that were unacceptable. The board heard three presentations. Commonwealth’s attorney Richard “Dickie” Cox gave an update on the Piedmont Community Criminal Justice Board, and deputy commonwealth’s attorney Rob Cerullo gave an update on the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. Fire and rescue chief Steven Singer gave the board his 2018 Fire and Rescue Annual Report. Since his report raises issues about the possible need for more paid coverage in the county, it was scheduled to be discussed at a budget workshop on Monday, March 11. A story about the issue and potential funding solutions will appear in next week’s paper. The board unanimously voted to approve an ordinance that proposes a new fee schedule for CUP ap-
plications for conditional accessory dwellings. The fee was reduced from $1,500 to $600. Planning director Andrew Pompei had previously introduced the issue to the board and said the reduction was proposed because these cases generally take less staff time and resources. There are several uses that the new fee schedule applies to for uses in certain zoning districts: accessory apartment, accessory dwelling unit (detached), home-based business, home-based landscaping business, home-based truck hauler business, and private kennel. With no discussion and no comments in the public hearing, the board unanimously approved four additional cases at the Feb. 25 meeting. One ordinance they approved amends the zoning ordinance’s section on landscaping to apply the same minimum size standards to required plantings countywide; establish requirements for landscaped corridor buffers, and apply the same standards for foundation plantings to development within all zoning districts. One ordinance was to amend the zoning ordinance to change the list of uses permitted by-right or with a conditional use permit within the Crossroads (CR) zoning district and clarify standards regarding minimum lot area and maximum residential densities in the CR zoning district. Currently, there are no properties in the county zoned as CR. The third ordinance is an amendment to the zoning ordinance to provide clarity regarding the relationship between the residential and nonresidential portions of a live/ work dwelling. The fourth ordinance amended the zoning ordinance to revise the definition of home occupation and homebased business to clarify differences between those two uses.

Powhatan Softball: 2019 Indians featuring half returners, half new players in season after reaching state final Staff Report
P
owhatan has a very successful tradition in softball, and expectations have not changed, head coach Marie Crump said. “But this is a ‘new’ team that will have to establish their own identity,” she said. “We’re excited to see how much we can improve.” Powhatan Softball delivered a memorable season in 2018 as it assembled a dominant final record of 20-2, won its third consecutive regional championship, earned its third straight trip to the state tournament and broke through to reach the Class 4 state final. But the Indians bade farewell
to seven starters last June, and although they will also return seven players from last year’s state runnerup team, this year’s group, overall, is very young with eight newcomers, whereas the 2018 team had played together for more than three years. “We are counting on our seniors and returners to lead the team and help the newcomers adjust to our expectations,” Crump said. “We do have several returners who saw significant playing time last year, so we are counting on them to really step up and be leaders.” Seniors on the team are outfielders Lindsey Elam and Gabby Moore and infielder Briana Hensley. Junior returners are infielder, UCONN verbal commit and first team all-state and all-region player Rileigh De Weese, infielder Maddy Hayden and pitcher and CNU verbal commit Madeline Peloke, who recently had shoulder surgery and whom the team hopes will be able to return to play later in the season. see SOFTBALL, pg. 2B

LEXINGTON – Kyle Jolly remembers going to Virginia Military Institute’s games when he was growing up. His father, Eric Jolly, attended VMI. When he was in high school, VMI was one of the schools that recruited Kyle, who ultimately went to play for the University of North Carolina. His football journey has come full circle. Kyle Jolly, a Blessed Sacrament Huguenot alumnus, is the new offensive line coach for VMI Football. “It’s just cool, because JOLLY when I was able to call my father and be like, ‘Hey, I got a job at your alma mater,’ he was pumped,’” Kyle said. “It’s kind of one of those things where I can give my dad a little present…through the game of football.” Jolly’s arrival as OL coach for the NCAA Division I FCS program follows one season at Division II Concord University in the same position, two seasons as a graduate assistant coach on offense at the University of Washington and three additional seasons working with tight ends as a graduate assistant coach at Old Dominion University. Before that, Jolly was a member of the Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers, and was with the Steelers in 2011 when they defeated the New York Jets for the AFC championship and faced the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV. Jolly started three years and 38 straight games at left tackle for the UNC Tar Heels. Before college, he attended Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in Powhatan County from see JOLLY, pg. 2B
Previewing Powhatan Baseball in 2019 Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor Powhatan Baseball delivered a standout season in 2018. The Indians last year won the Jefferson District championship, concluded the Region 4B tournament as runners-up, reached the state quarterfinals and built a record of 18-4. But when the season ended, Powhatan lost seven starters with that senior-heavy group. “We’ve got a lot of young guys that had to step up,” said senior
catcher Trevor Waters. “We had 12 seniors last year, so a lot of guys had to step up and take that role.” The 2019 Indians will have a mix of upperclassmen and young players, with leading returners including seniors Waters, Tymmie Hart (pitcher/center field), Tanner Ritt (outfield) and Aidan Voorhees (outfield) as well as junior Brandon Eike (pitcher/short stop). This year’s team also looks to feature a lot of players who can throw the ball well. “We should be strong on the
mound. Defense should be solid,” head coach Gregg Conner said while adding that the team will “need to continue to improve offensively.” Waters said that they’re working hard with the new players in the infield in practice every day. “They come out here, they do a lot of things right,” Waters said. “All we’ve got to do is just keep their head in the game and tell ‘em positive stuff.” While last year’s Indians were NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY a very good hitting team, they’re Powhatan’s Brandon Eike throws a pitch in the see BASEBALL, pg. 2B

Many teams will describe themselves as being like families in order to convey how close the players are to one another. But the description of family goes further with Powhatan boys lacrosse. Not only does the 2019 team feature three sets of brothers in Jared and Hayden Sommerville, Corey and Brandon Palmore and Jacob and Ethan Dowdy, but it’s also a collection of longtime teammates. “I think, for us, our biggest competitive advantage is that all of our players have played lacrosse together for many years,” said Powhatan Boys Lacrosse head coach Joseph Niles. “Some of our juniors and seniors have been playing lacrosse together for over 6 years when the Powhatan Lacrosse league was started. The boys all know each other very well and they are a very close team.” This year’s team is also the deepest and most experienced team of the Indians’ past three varsity teams. Two of their seniors - three-year captains, leading scorers Corey Palmore and Jared Sommerville - have played and started all 4 years. Four current juniors have played and started for at

least 2 years. And the sophomore class features significant playing time from last year. “The team also possess a strong team cohesiveness,” Niles said, “and a much better understanding of how to play the game.” The young and deep Indians lost two starting seniors to graduation - Chris Medina who now plays lacrosse for the University of Tampa, and Harlan Manger, who plays for Virginia Wesleyan - and will look to improve upon a 5-10 season in 2018. In addition to Corey and Jared returning to the attack positions, fellow senior Cole Burton, a three-year-starter, returns at goalie. Junior Ethan Niles, a three-year starter and third leading scorer behind Corey and Jared, comes back at attack, and junior and two-year starter Spencer Moran returns on defense. Seniors Jacob Taylor and Andrew Worthington are each playing their third year of high school lacrosse and are both anchors for the Indians’ defensive midfield group. Sophomores Chase Mahaney and Ryland Davis, whom Niles said play critical roles as their two Face-Off specialists and offensive mid-fielders, are back at the Face-Off X following their very promising

Powhatan played seven full innings through a rainy scrimmage this past Friday at Matoaca, with multiple pitchers getting to take the mound for each team in the preseason contest. “We had a lot of guys filling in for the first time,” Waters said. “I thought we did good overall. We’ve got some stuff to improve on, but other than that, I think we did all right.” This year’s Indians are younger, but Waters said they’re striving to go just as far as, or maybe further than, they did in reaching the state tournament last year. “I just think we’ll have a great season,” Waters said. “A lot of people are doubting us, saying: Oh, we lost 12 seniors - a lot of that stuff. But I think we’ll be just fine.”
seasons as freshmen. Brandon Palmore, a sophomore, returns at starting offensive midfielder, and is expected to take on a larger role in the offense this year. Freshmen Adam Camp on defense and Hans Rehme at midfield will help anchor a deep freshman class. Niles said that his team’s captains - Corey, Jared and Taylor - are “all very unselfish and often take time to help the younger and less experienced players on the team. For this year, Niles stressed the importance of getting off to a fast start. “We have three home games in a row and we need to take advantage of playing in the friendly confines of PHS,” he said. “If we can win our first three games, then we should be able to build some confidence and really get on a roll.” The Indians will be playing a tough schedule this year against the bigger schools of Class 6 Thomas Dale and Class 5 L.C. Bird, and will also continue to do battle with the well-established lacrosse Jefferson District schools in both Charlottesville and the surrounding areas. “Playing well against Thomas Dale, Monticello, Charlottesville HS as well as

Sophomore Emmalee Lawson returns at catcher and infield. New players this year are junior Kota Lewis, sophomores Jillian Ratliff, Bella Lhuiller, Sarah English, Kayla Davis and Ellie Barton and freshmen Joy Johnson and Savannah Johnson. With Peloke recovering from surgery, pitching will be a question mark for the Indians since none of their active pitchers currently have varsity experience. Crump expects that they will rotate several pitch-
Newcomers to watch include Jacob Pfab. Head coach Levander Kelley said that the 2019 Indians’ skillsets feature movement and hustle, and that the returners bring the strengths of giving their best efforts and leading by example. The biggest factors that Kelley said can help the Indians get the advantage in matches are ers during games and see how they respond. Defensively, the Indians are still looking at different combinations and they do not expect to have a set lineup for a while. “We do have some versatile players that are able to play multiple positions,” Crump said. “There will definitely be lots of new faces on the field. “Offensively, we lost quite a bit of speed and power from last year’s graduates, but we are excited to see who will step up for us this year,” Crump said. “We will need for everyone to produce if

of varsity lacrosse,” Niles said. He added that his players are willing to do whatever is needed to get better at the game of lacrosse. “They all have great attitude and will no doubt outwork other teams,” he said, “because they feel they have something to prove to other lacrosse programs. “Overall, as a team, we need to believe in ourselves and our ability to play the competitive lacrosse and win lacrosse games.”
sixth grade to senior year and not only started three years for the BSH Knights, but also contributed to a state final appearance in 2002 and to back-to-back state championships in 2003 and 2004. “The college coaches kind of fine-tune you, but the high school coaches, they’re the ones that truly mold you into what you’re gonna be,” Jolly said. His BSH coaches – including then-head coach Mike Henderson and Kyle’s father Eric, who was the offensive line/defensive line coach on the staff – instilled in him his work ethic and his attention to detail. While Jolly is still trying to figure out his VMI players individually, a lot of them are tall and long, so he’s looking to utilize their length, athleticism and fast feet as 280- and 290-pound linemen going against 315- and 320-pound opponents. He anticipates that this incoming recruitment class will also fit that tall, long, 285-to-290-pound mold. In drilling, Jolly focuses on posture; he noticed that those guys who are tall, long and athletic tend to play a little high at times because they know they can move their feet faster while they’re a little higher, but he’s looking to coach them into keeping their weight over their toes and playing with a good knee-bend. “Because they are lighter at times, sometimes they feel like they have to lean into a lot of blocks and get a little bit more weight into it to shove somebody across,” Jolly said. “But what they don’t understand is if they stay in good posture, they’re gonna be
keeping the ball between the lines and wearing down their opponents. The players are striving to work on better serving, adding pace and placement on a consistent basis. The Indians open the 2019 season at Monacan High School on Thursday, March 14, 4 p.m. and will play their first home match versus Hanover on Thursday, March 21 at 5 p.m. we want to be competitive.” Powhatan Softball will face a very strong schedule in 2019, with Class 6 state runner-up Manchester and perennial powerhouses Hanover, Clover Hill, Midlothian, Patrick Henry and Goochland all on the calendar. The team expects the Jefferson District schedule to be equally challenging. “Our team has worked very hard in our winter conditioning program and in the pre-season,” Crump said, “and we are very pleased with their work ethic, and hopefully they will transfer that hard work to the playing field.”
strong with their base and their feet are gonna transfer the power into their hands…last year they kind of leaned and tried to force things a little bit too much, just from watching film and things like that.” His coaching philosophy is to coach people in the way he’d want to be coached. “I just love positivity,” he said, “so I’m gonna be that positive, high-energy guy…I’m gonna challenge my guys to match or beat my energy level and my positivity, and at VMI, it’s even more-so that you want to be positive because they do have the military aspect of it.” He’ll correct them on things and walk them through things – like what they can do to change a block – but he’s not a big yeller or screamer when it comes to giving critiques. “Beyond that, I’m gonna yell with a bunch of positivity, I’m gonna have a lot of fun and I’m gonna get these guys going,” Jolly said. “What I pride myself on is my energy and my positivity. That’s what I’m gonna demand out of my guys as well.” The VMI Keydets compete in the Southern Conference of the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, and are looking to improve upon a 1-10 record in 2018. “We need to keep getting better every day. We need to focus on ourselves,” he said, “and don’t think about who we’re gonna play…we don’t put a name to ‘em, we don’t put a Marshall ‘M’ on their helmet…whatever it ends up being. We just focus: ‘Ok, I need to get better at this so I can be a better player.”

NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY
Powhatan Girls Soccer’s Katlyn Hicks drives the ball towards Matoaca’s goal in the Indians’ home scrimmage on Thursday.
POWHATAN - The bench is deep this year. That’s what Powhatan Girls Soccer showcased Thursday night when the momentum stayed strong on rotations in the team’s home scrimmage versus Matoaca. “This season, the starting lineup looks really, really, really good,” head coach Jared Rottmund added. “It’s just a lot of collective talent.” The Indians are coming off a 2018 season in which they reached the regional quarterfinals on a 9-2 win over Patrick Henry and placed fourth in the Jefferson District. They lost seven starters, but Rottmund said this season’s players have really picked it up. The Indians this year will feature captains Katlyn Hicks, Kaila Cook and Emma Barnett as well as Sarah McFadden and a strong duo of goalkeepers in seniors Katie McCarthy and Jennah Jarosinski. On the defensive side, Kaitlin Thompson is coming back after getting pulled up to varsity last year as a freshman, and returning player Kyla Green-
way has been shifted to the right side, which will match up with fellow returners Maya Rottmund and Faith McNeel. New players for Powhatan include junior Jeanne Wolkiewicz and sophomore Keeley Lamm. Rottmund observed really good ball control and “phenomenal speed” in Thursday’s scrimmage, and he said that the passing game has “improved phenomenally.” “I’ve got a lot more speed than I did last year,” Rottmund said. “It’s just girls stepping up to the plate.” The conditioning, he added, is better than it’s ever been from season to season. Rottmund said that the players have just got to slow the game down, play their game and not lose their focus. Matchups that will help show the Indians where they are include contests against two tough Jefferson District opponents in defending state champion Western Albemarle and 2019 state semifinalist Albemarle. “We’ve consistently improved, beating Charlottesville, and I’m really optimistic with this season going into regionals,” Rottmund said. “I’m just looking forward to a fantastic season.”
Previewing Powhatan Girls LAX in 2019 Staff Report POWHATAN – Head coach Laura Camp said that this year’s Powhatan Girls Lacrosse team is “all in.” “Every player is eager is learn,” she said, “and motivated to put in the work to have a strong season.” The Indians’ returners for the 2019 season feature Ashley Van Buskirk, Anna Causey, Nailah Chambers and Hailey Camp. “Our captains lead by example,” Coach Laura Camp said. “They are strong role models and exhibit the qualities we want our team to have as a whole.” Newcomers to watch include freshman Jordan Krauss. Camp said that their transitions will be their biggest strength. “The team has really learned to find the open player up field,” she said, “and move the ball quickly to create man-up situations.” “Heart,” said Camp, will be Powhatan’s biggest factor when it comes to getting the advantage in competitions.
“Our team has come from winning one game their first two seasons, to winning seven last year,” she said. “This has given them the drive and confidence to know they can win games and to give it 200 percent when they are out on the field. “ The biggest obstacle that the team faces is game IQ, including knowing where to be in different situations. “We are going to really tap into the ‘whys’ this year,” Camp said, “and focus on strategy.” She feels that her team will know where it stands by mid-season. “We will face some comparable teams in the beNICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY ginning of our season,” she said, “which will give Powhatan Girls Lacrosse’s Moriah Stanley controls us a good idea of what we need to work on going the ball in a Thursday afternoon practice. forward.” She noted that matchups with Thomas Dale and Patrick Henry are always competitive, and that those sport at Powhatan High School. “It’s a really special group of kids and they have games should give the Indians “a good read on where grown exponentially in their development!” she we are, and where we need to be.” “We are really excited for this season!” Camp said. “The majority of girls have put in a lot of work said. “Our seniors were part of the inaugural season in the offseason and we look forward to seeing the four years ago, when Girls Lacrosse became a VHSL results!”
Previewing BSH Baseball Staff Report POWHATAN – A trio of seniors and multisport athletes will be asked to lead this year’s Blessed Sacrament Huguenot baseball team. The Knights are coming off of a 2018 season that featured a 7-13 record and an eighth seed in the state playoffs. They head into Spring having lost two starters while returning Kemper Roudabush, Reilly Dickerson and Noa Hasty as pitchers and infielders, with Roudabush playing at third base and Dickerson and Hasty playing at first. “We are one year older and I think our pitching and defense should be improved,” head coach James Poore said, adding: “The older players will help the younger players grow throughout the season.” Newcomers to watch for BSH include center fielder Mace Brindley and catcher Will Carter. Poore anticipates that this group will play a lot of small ball, “so the ability to bunt and move guys over will be key.” Challenges the Knights anticipate having to overcome this year are their youth, as well as the weather, as rain has proven problematic to game and practice schedules for Richmond-area teams in recent seasons. Poore noted that his players “need to be able to get work in so we can improve daily.” He said they want to be playing their best baseball from the

middle of the season to the end. “We are just taking the season pitch by pitch,” he added. “We do not want to look ahead. One pitch at a time.” The Knights were originally scheduled to play at Collegiate on Tuesday, March 5, but the game was among numerous cancellations that day for weather-related
reasons. The Knights therefore opened the season on Thursday, March 7, taking a 13-0 loss to Isle of Wight Academy. They’re slated to play on Thursday, March 14 at Tidewater Academy; on Monday, March 18 at Fuqua Academy; and on Tuesday, March 19 at Brunswick Academy.

Zion) requests the rezoning from General Commercial (C) to Commerce Center (CC) with proffered conditions and amendment of the zoning district map of approximately 4.35 acres of land located on the south side of U.S. Route 60 (Anderson Highway) approximately 1,000 feet southeast of its intersection with U.S. Route 522 (Maidens Road)/State Route 1002 (Emanuel Church Road), being Tax Map 26B1-1-1 and 26B1-1-2.
