Reactions to budget, tax rate mixed

P

OWHATAN – A public hearing tackling the broad issues of Powhatan County’s operating budget, five year capital improvement plan and property tax rate drew a likewise diverse mix of responses from citizens that focused PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND largely on fire and resBill Donati Jr., left, Jeffrey Wallace and Cynthia Mahone speak on April 24. cue.

The board held a public hearing at its meeting on Wednesday, April 24 that encompassed the very broad range of topics of the fiscal year (FY) 2020 operating budget, five year capital improvement plan and real property tax rate.

County administrator Ted Voorhees gave a brief recap of the three topics for the public’s benefit. He went over the details of the balanced

budget he presented on March 4 and how the need for modifications might change it.

These potential modifications are radically different. One scenario would see the board likely dipping into fund balance to pay $180,000 to staff one additional nighttime Advanced Life Support (ALS) unit at the Powhatan Volunteer Ressee REACTIONS, pg. 4

Supervisors eliminate controversial R-C zoning

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – After months of debate about the best course of action for dealing with the ResidentialCommercial zoning district, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently eliminated it in a relatively low-key but split decision.

The board voted 3-2 in favor of eliminating the controversial zoning district at its meeting on Wednesday, April 24 in a decision that was the culmination of months of work by staff, the planning commission, the supervisors and the public.

David Williams, who represents District 1, Larry Nordvig, District 2, and Carson

Tucker, District 5, voted for the elimination. Chairwoman Angie Cabell, District 3, and Bill Melton, District 4, voted against it.

The R-C zoning district was created in 1984 as an economic development tool for the county. The issue of its effectiveness has also been discussed over many hours during previous board meetings

and by two special work groups the supervisors appointed to try to find solutions.

Most of the focus of the board’s decision to eliminate the zoning district has stemmed from a desire for greater control and oversight over how the county develops. R-C zoning and other see ZONING, pg. 3

O B I T UA R I E S JOAN KIDWELL Joan Marie Kidwell, age 80, died peacefully on Thursday, April 18, 2019, at Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center in Midlothian, Virginia. She was born in Norfolk, Virginia and was the oldest of five children born to James Madison and Evelyn Margaret Kidwell. Joan was a graduate of Norview High School and of Longwood College and acquired her master's degree from the College of William & Mary.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Richard Lawrence Kidwell; her sister-in-law, Shirley Kidwell, and her nephew, Peter Anthony Kidwell. Joan is survived by her brothers, James Douglas Kidwell, John Timothy Kidwell and wife Brenda, Thomas Kent Kidwell and wife Dottie, sister-in-law, Julia Smith Kidwell, 17 nieces and nephews and many great nieces and nephews. Joan's first

love was the teaching of children. Through the years she served at many different levels of the education system from a first grade classroom with 41 students to city and state school administration positions. Her last years before retirement were spent working for the Cumberland County School Administration.

From an early age, Joan believed in giving the gift of her time. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, she accumulated the most volunteer hours ever recorded for a Pink Lady at Norfolk General Hospital. In later years she would continue volunteering her time at Johnston Willis Hospital, Lifetime Learning Institute, and always at her church. Above all she was dedicated to her family. She had a special connection to her nieces and nephews, taking them Christmas shopping for their parents and siblings and nurturing their special interests. Her generous nature helped

shape the lives of all who loved her. Joan's lifetime of loving and giving will be the foundation that helps us fill the void caused by her departure from us. Our family would like to express special thanks to the staff at Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center for their kindness to Joan during her last days. A memorial service was held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 27 in the Bennett & Barden Funeral Home, 3215 Anderson Hwy.(Rt.60), Powhatan. Online condolences may be made at bennettbardenfh.com.

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church celebrates 175 years Contributed Report St. Luke's Episcopal Church, located at the corner of Three Bridge Road and Route 711, is celebrating its 175th Anniversary this year. Founded in 1844, St. Luke's is planning a celebration weekend on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5.

The festivities beginning at 1 p.m. on May 4 include county recognition ceremony by local officials, words and blessing by the Rev. Dr. Sandi Kerner, tours of the historic church and cemetery, time capsule burial ceremony, scavenger hunt in church cemetery including grave stone rubbings, learn about our Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program, display of historic documents, photos, memorabilia and our current ministries, and cookies and lemonade.

The May 5 event begins at 10:30 a.m. and will include a special church service followed by a luncheon on the lawn (RSVP is required; contact the church office 804-794-6953).

The church has a rich history in Powhatan County. On April 13, 1843, John H. Holman of Calvert's Hill, Richard J. Gilliam of Buena Vista and Richard W. Royster of Manakin Farm, as trustees of the Episcopal Church (per the deed), acquired from William H. Harrison and his wife, Deborah, of Middlesex, 1.25 acres (per the deed) of land for $62.50 on which to build this church.

Harrison, a veteran of the Battle of Waterloo, came to this area in the 1820s.

In 1827, he bought part of the Middlesex tract of Millwood Plantation from John

forms of by-right development have been used in the past to create what the board calls “piecemeal development.” This occurs when a developer comes in and starts a project using less stringent by-right requirements regarding approval by governing bodies to start a project and then rezones the rest of the project after an infrastructure is in place.

Board members have argued several times that this not only cuts out the planning commission and board of supervisors’ opportunities to weigh in on a project and make sure it is the right fit for the county but also the citizens themselves.

Much of the work regarding making the decision on R-C zoning was already done before the April 24 meeting. The issue had been delayed at the board’s last two meetings on Feb. 25 and March 25, first to clearly define how the county would do right by the owners of the 509 parcels currently zoned R-C and then to define what proffers would be lost if the zoning district was eliminated.

Philip Barretier Harris and build Middlesex that same year. The tract of land that Harrison sold to the trustees was the northwest corner of this property.

As was the custom at the time, the clay was dug and the bricks were made very close to the building site. The church, which was 32' X 36', and the original brick wall was built, it is believed, by Harrison's son, Thomas B. Harrison. The church was consecrated on April 10, 1845, by Assistant Bishop John Johns. From vestry minutes we learned that the slate roof was authorized in 1887.

In the 1890s, the south end of the church was remodeled and the recessed sanctuary was built adding 12 feet to the length of the building. The magnificent rose window was installed at this time along with the stained glass windows in the church nave. In 1911, a new wall of concrete that expanded the cemetery surrounding the church building was constructed. In 1915, the sacristy and vestry rooms were added. St. Luke's gained an additional 2.02 acres adjoining the original tract, which was acquired for $75. The basement was dug in 1921 and a furnace was installed replacing the pot-bellied wood burning stove that had sat in the middle of the aisle toward the back of the church.

In 1955 a parish hall was erected and included Sunday school classrooms on the first floor, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a social hall in a walkout basement.

In 1984, the church yard was expanded to the south, enclosed by a brick wall

That last request was one Williams asked for on March 25 so the board would clearly understand what existing concessions from businesses it might be giving up by eliminating R-C. However, he assured his fellow board members at the time that he still had every intention of moving forward on doing away with R-C, of which he has been a tough and vocal critic since 2018.

With that list of proffers in hand, at last week’s meeting, Williams asked planning director Andrew Pompei if there were any proffers the county would lose that would outweigh the reasons they are going forward with doing away with R-C. Pompei said he didn’t see any proffers that met that description. He noted that the last instance of someone rezoning to R-C was in 2009 and that the development standards in the zoning ordinance were rewritten in 2015 to “better reflect our vision for the community.”

“So, whereas before in a lot of these cases proffered conditions addressed design or development standards that were optional, now those types of things are gener-

In 1988, St. Luke's was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and Virginia Landmarks Register.

In 1997, an expansion took place to the rear of the existing parish house providing a modern kitchen, two bathrooms, storage space and a larger social hall downstairs and three new classrooms and two bathrooms upstairs plus renovations to the front foyer to provide offices for a rector and secretary.

ally required by the ordinance,” he said. “I personally do not see any major issues with these proffered conditions.”

Before voting against the elimination of R-C, Melton once again raised several issues, such as the wisdom of taking that action before having an updated comprehensive plan in place. He said is in favor of attractive rural development but not government control.

Melton said this is not a business-friendly ordinance and pointed back to Pompei’s comments and the fact that standards have been improved, including requirements around development, site approval, landscaping and architecture.

Melton also pointed out that this action would only address R-C, not General Commercial (GC), which is another by-right zoning district in the county, and that proffers that were approved when properties were rezoned to R-C were open to community input.

“I don’t think many people in the public would know what proffers went to a project but they were public hearing items, and we are going to do away with them in one

fell motion tonight.

Therefore, I am not in support of this elimination of R-C. I am for private property rights, limited government and the free enterprise system,” Melton said.

Williams then reiterated points he has made in the past about the need to eliminate R-C, including providing more transparency and review both by the public, planning commission and board of supervisors to ensure a better finished project. He again mentioned two cases in the last few years where reduced access management standards under byright development were allowed because of lack of additional oversight.

Neither of those things would have happened if there had been a public hearing before the planning commissin and board of supervisors, he said.

“I use those two cases of examples, as teaching moments of why you didn’t want the by-right development – the R-C – that we’ve had plaguing this county for years. It has been a well-known secret. It has been a pariah on economic development,” Williams said.

Nordvig agreed with

BUSINESS BRIEFS

Spotlight on orchid grower Chadwick and Sons Orchids, which has its home base in Powhatan with a retail store in Richmond, has recently been gaining widespread attention. The local business was featured in an episode of CBS News’ “On the Road” segment. The story focused on the love people have for their orchids and how some take care of them by boarding them with businesses like Chadwick and Sons Orchids.

The episode featured Williams’ points, saying Powhatan residents have been loud and clear to him for years that they want to keep Powhatan the way it is. The board developed a vision that encourages rural-friendly growth, which allows the board to manage it, not stop it.

“I think everybody up here is commercial prodevelopment. It is how we develop that is the issue.

With by-right, we can cast all the vision we want and we have no control to enforce it,” he said.

Many of the meetings in the last several months have featured property owners or representatives who were against the elimination of R-C, saying it would damage their

Steve Hartman interviewing owner Art Chadwick about why people choose to board their flowers there. The orchid grower and boarder was also the focus of a Washington Post Magazine article that talked about the business’ history and why it is successful. It included a look into his Richmond shop as well as a trip to the location in Powhatan County where all of the plants are boarded and cared for throughout the year. property values and reduce their control over their own land.

The only person to speak on the issue at the last meeting was John “Chip” Dicks, an attorney representing the Richmond Association of Realtors. He said there are ways to fix R-C to achieve the board’s desired goal without down zoning 509 parcels. He said the board should update the county’s comprehensive plan before tackling zoning and also brought up the issues of updated development standards and the expectation of upholding existing proffers.

cue Squad.

The other potential action could see the board approving a 3.5 cent real estate tax increase to fund $1.18 million in paid fire and EMS staff. The potential rate change would be to implement a coverage plan presented on March 11 by Voorhees and fire and rescue Chief Steven Singer to provide more 24-hour paid coverage of cross-trained staff in the county.

The board did not take any action during this meeting and had limited discussion on the topics themselves. What they did discuss was the need for additional information by sitting down as a board in a meeting with more of the players in this scenario – namely the volunteer firefighters and EMTs. That meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, May 6 in the Village Building.

Instead of board discussion, this section of the meeting was dominated by 16 citizen comments,

Throw drowning trees a life preserver

By Virginia McCown Can trees drown?

Yes, they sure can. As spring moves closer, we might witness a few favorites in our yards that simply won’t come back. By the summer months, we’ll have a better idea of our losses caused by too much rain.

When folks talk about their trees "drowning" they usually mean the tree roots have been waterlogged for weeks or even months. Tree roots need oxygen. Too much water will eventually kill the roots. “Yes, plants can certainly suffer and even die during periods of extended wet weather or poorly drained soil,� says Jay Wilkerson, horticulturist for the Town of Farmville. “While we cannot control our weather, we can use a few techniques to avoid drowning plants.�

Central Virginia is laden with heavy clay soil so amending it with a soil con-

with a good representation from fire and rescue organizations as well as everyday citizens wanting to offer their opinions.

Some of the topics they touched on included: Bill Donati Jr. represented Fine Creek Volunteer Fire Department as he talked about a lack of leadership in the fire and rescue department, characterized by a lack of ability to create relationships, people skills and communicate effectively. Company 4 is neutral on the issue of raising the tax rate, he said. Instead, he talked about how requested assistance from volunteer companies did not match staffing proposals presented to the supervisors by Singer. “We are sick and tired of the lack of communication and total inability to get buy in from our volunteer companies in this county. Why do volunteer have to come to a public forum like this to have their voices heard? Why have three separate companies been misrepresented in a staffing proposal with no question as to what they thought about

the changes,� he said.

If asked by the public if his company felt that fire and rescue was as bad off and in need of help as the staffing proposal suggests, Donati said he would answer no. Instead, he reiterated the need for all of the companies to be given a voice.

David Burton, a firefighter with the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department, said the companies are not saying no to extra help, which they do need.

But all of the funds in the tax rate increase would be used to pay for personnel and won’t be to support volunteers at all, he said.

He also spoke of poor communication with fire administration and not having a voice in decisions about fire and rescue. He said he and other members of his department don’t feel heard and morale has been lower as a result.

Troy Blair represented the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department in flat out saying they do not support the current proposal. He also referenced their request for help being much less than the fire

ditioner before planting can help, says Wilkerson. A soil conditioner is not a fertilizer but a mixture of organic and inorganic matter. Commercial soil conditioners such as LeafGro are available for purchase from nurseries. It’s not completely compost, but it’s not peat moss. “Peat moss tends to hold a lot of moisture and would be best used in sandy soils that need help with moisture retention rather than drainage,� advised Wilkerson.

plant the root ball an inch or two above grade.� Never plant new trees or shrubs below grade because that will collect a lot of excess water and be very slow to dry out.�

For further instruction consult Trees for Problem Landscape Sites — Wet and Dry Sites (http://pubs.ext.vt. edu/430/430-026/430-026.html) as well as Tree and Shrub Planting Guidelines (https://pubs.ext.vt.edu/430/430295/430-295.html).

Location, Location, Location!

Invest in the future

Choose wisely. Is the planting site in a low laying depression that collects standing water after a rain? Are you planting near a downspout or gutter or a runoff area? “There are times when we have to plant in a less than ideal area,� says Wilkerson. “In which case, I usually

Certain trees and shrubs can tolerate wet soil better than others. Bald cypress, willows, birch, poplar and some oaks will tolerate wet soil. On the other hand, fruit and nut trees prefer well drained soil and don’t tolerate boggy soils.

administration proposal.

Jeffrey Wallace represented the Powhatan County Professional Fire Fighters in supporting fire administration’s staffing proposal. He spoke of the danger of sending understaffed personnel to an emergency. He asked the board not to approve a plan that involved shifts with only one paid person but instead consider at least a minimum of two staff members. He asked the board to consider what is best for the citizens, which is fully staffed crews responding when they call for help.

Curtis Newton spoke about the confusion of understanding how the fire and rescue dilemma has unfolded. He pointed to the previous comments made by volunteers and suggested considering an approach involving phasing in more paid personnel.

Victoria Ronnau was one of two residents who brought up the need to have coverage throughout the county. She lives in the west end of the county, which has no staffing proposed in the fire adminis-

tration plan. She said she didn’t have a problem paying additional taxes if she knew fire and rescue throughout the county would be comparable.

Jerry Wallace talked about nationwide trends of decreasing volunteers and said the situation faced by the county cannot be put at the feet of one person. He advocated for the tax increase to pay for additional paid staff to augment services provided by the volunteers.

Cynthia Mahone raised issue with the increase of staffing the plan proposes for the fire administration office. She asked the board not to vote for the increase.

Floyd Greene was the only person to address the topic of the CIP. Speaking for the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department, he asked the board to consider the replacement of the heavy rescue unit at Company 2, which is 19 years old. It has been scheduled for replacement on the CIP but keeps being put off, and now has been moved out to 2024, he said. He asked that the

see TREES, pg. 8

date be moved up and the amount increased.

Speaking as an individual, he questioned some of the data used in the fire administration presentation, questioning either how precise the information is or if it compares Powhatan to neighboring counties in an accurate way. He said that currently, Powhatan has a volunteer department supported by career staff. If this proposal were adopted, the county would instantly switch in two-thirds of the county “from a volunteer department assisted by career to a career department assisted by volunteers. It is only going to progress and you are only going to need more as we go.�

Andrew Beagle said the county’s current system isn’t working, as shown by the response times, and the board needs to take drastic measures now by supporting the tax rate increase and paid career staff to get ahead of the issue and avoid people getting hurt or killed.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Beef and Music will be held May 10.

Blessed Sacrament’s Beef & Music Festival to celebrate 37 years Contributed Report

by PQ’s BBQ, beer and wine, a live and silent auction and some amazing entertainment, including fireworks! For the second year in a row, the event will have Gail Mirabella & The Dynamo Dogs, as seen on last year’s season of The Bachelor. The Dynamo Dogs perform all over the country with their entertaining dog variety act.

There will also be bounce houses, a Mister Softee Ice Cream truck, face painting and other activities for the kids. The adults can try their hand at our cornhole tournament while they enjoy the music.

Beer and wine sponsored by Watkins Nurseries Inc. Tickets are available on the school website (http://www.bshknights.org/bmf-2019) or by coming to the main office of the school located at 2501 Academy Road in Powhatan. Tickets purchased online can be picked up at “will call” on the day of the Festival, be mailed to you, or picked up at the school during school hours (8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday to Friday). See the BSH website for ticket information and other festival details.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will host the 37th annual Beef & Music Festival on Friday, May 10 on Barham-Sowers Field on the school grounds from 6 to 10 p.m. with live music by local favorites, The IllBillys.

The Beef & Music Festival is the most critical fundraiser for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School, as well as a great way to introduce the Greater Richmond community to the spirit of BSH. Due to the fact that tuition only covers a portion of the true cost of educating our children and operating BSH each year, we count on the Beef & Music Festival to close the funding gap. Traditionally this annual event draws a crowd of approximately 800 people from the Greater Richmond community to the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School campus to enjoy BBQ, great outdoor live music and a chance at an amazing raffle grand prize of $5,000.

Each $100 ticket includes admission for two adults, a chance at the raffle, a BBQ dinner provided

The Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) has recognized the family of Douglas D. R. Palmore as Century Forest Landowners for 120 years of ownership of their Powhatan CONTRIBUTED PHOTO County property.

The Century Forest program was created by The Palmores were honored as the General Assembly in 2016 to honor those Century Forest Landowners for families who have owned their forestland for 120 years of ownership.

100 years or more. Since then, 44 families including six families in 2018 - have enrolled their properties in the program.

Area Forester Kathleen Ogilvy assisted the Palmore family with the application process and presented the family with a certificate from Governor Ralph Northam and a Century Forest sign to post prominently on their land.

The Palmore family has been in Powhatan County since the 1700s. In 1899, Mr. Palmore’s great-grandfather acquired the initial 50 acres, which included the historic home, called Provost at the time. The family ran a general store, post office and telephone exchange at Provost through the 1950s. Over the years, the family acquired additional land, enlarging the property to more than 137 acres.

The property includes approximately 100 acres of actively-managed forestland. A pine harvest was conducted in 2016 and the family has developed a plan with VDOF assistance for hardwood regeneration to increase the tree species diversity and benefit wildlife.

Palmore wrote, “We are very proud to continue our family legacy of stewardship on this property. We are very grateful for the support of the VDOF and especially Kathleen Ogilvy, who assisted with the application process and has prepared a new Forestry Stewardship Plan that will guide our activities on the property for years to come. We are also especially proud to be the first Century Forest designated in Powhatan County.”

The Virginia Department of Forestry protects and develops healthy, sustainable forest resources for Virginians. With nearly 16 million acres of forestland and more than 108,000 Virginians employed in forestry, forest products and related industries, Virginia forests provide an overall economic output of more than $21 billion annually.

Republican party endorses candidates

Earth Day efforts make county more beautiful

By Laura McFarland News Editor

I

have a bit of a problem with plastic bottles, but I recognize it’s a problem that needs adjustment.

Recently, I had to entirely clean out my car – front to back, checking under seats, the whole deal. One of the most important things that exercise revealed to me was that I use entirely too many plastic water bottles that somehow always end up hiding in my vehicle with an inch of water left in them.

I thought I was doing good to hang the bag for plastic bottles on the pantry door as it always gets filled up and has to be taken to recycle. But cleaning out that car was like seeing a flashing neon sign about the waste I was creating and the negligence of this bad habit.

I don’t need a reminder of this problem – it is evident every day when planning for a day away from home and preparing by including several cold water bottles in a cooler. But I still received a good reminder with a recent slate of events put on by the Powhatan Anti-Litter Council.

In quick succession, the local organization helped put on three events that touched on different aspects of what it means to celebrate Earth Day, which took place on April 22.

The Earth Day Coalition kicked things off with the annual Earth Day Celebration on April 18 on the Courthouse Green. As always, this event was a mix of enter-

tainment and education. One minute you are learning about bugs and their ecosystems or how to compost and the next you are listening to a live band perform or watching a juggler put on a show.

When the event gets a good weather day – as it did this year – seeing the space in front of the courthouse fill up with vendor and exhibitor tables and people walking around visiting them is such a peaceful assignment to cover. Whether it is the people who are only interested in a community event, people dedicated to bringing change for the betterment of the planet, or people simply being open to hearing how they can help, the event always has a great atmosphere.

Walking around taking photos, I loved seeing how the event organizers continue to engage children through activities such as making flower prints or planting live flowers to take home.

Young people also were engaged with the addition of the Powhatan High School Planeteers’ table, where they had a display on environmentally-friendly substitutes for everyday items, such as a bamboo toothbrush instead of a plastic one or reusable bags over plastic ones.

In my case, I was reminded that a good metal water bottle would be a great way to cut down on the number of plastic bottles I use.

The Powhatan Anti-Litter Council hit another home run on April 20 with the annual Amnesty Event, which allowed citizens to bring tires (10 per resident/household) and unused appliances to the Powhatan Fair-

Saying goodbye is never easy

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Hundreds of former John Randolph Tucker graduates gathered last weekend for a final visit to a campus that provided a lifetime of memories for the students who walked the windswept sidewalks that connected the buildings of the campus-style school.

Now, I’m not sure how campus-style schools became the rage in the 1960s, but the braintrust behind the architectural wave quickly realized the plan had a number of flaws.

It was explained to a group of eager seventh graders that the purpose of the layout was to acquaint us with the real world, a realization that life didn’t take place in one building, and getting from one place to another on time was a lesson worth learning.

I suppose no one considered the hazards of battling brutal snow and rain six or seven times a day was not instructive, but distractive.

And that architectural wonder of a gymnasium described as the envy of the district, a place that housed so many memories for that first group of Tucker Tigers, collapsed in the early 1970s.

Point is, Tucker High School was much more than a group of buildings, and the actual brick and mortar of the campus never evoked much loyalty or pride. That’s probably true of any high school campus.

Everyone has their own way of saying goodbye, and the many former Tigers who turned out for the final tour used that last glimpse of long-forgotten places to replenish memories of days gone by and friends who somehow were lost to time.

For me and others who arrived at Tucker when it was a half-finished school where dust and mud replaced any semblance of grass, and the sounds of construction were routine annoyances, those memories revolve around the people who made those special moments with us.

As those students walked those sidewalks for the last time, they probably remembered something called Tiger Pride, a sense of community that grew from students who came from differing parts of the county but merged into something akin to

family.

The real lasting beauty of a school soon to be demolished and rebuilt lies in the people who made that journey, walked those same halls, and slowly but surely became Tucker Tigers.

If those walls could talk, they might sound out an important message from first principal B.T. Doyle announcing that our president had been shot in Dallas.

Or, that memory might involve Coach Fred Wells as he took a group of talented but untested athletes and produced a District football championship. They might remember basketball coach Ralph Crockett introducing his team at a raucous pep rally.

It might be an image of beloved science teacher Fran Purdum darting down Skipwith Road in her sporty, gold Corvette.

Or is it the smell of a new bandroom while band director Algier Batts patiently tutored his students in the universal language?

For some of us, it might involve an assistant principal chasing us across the parking lot as we escaped for lunch at McDonald’s.

It could be anything, and everything, but the fact is that very few of those memories involve buildings or facilities and are firmly rooted in people, not places.

But, there’s no doubt that saying goodbye to a place that impacted so many lives is sad, and I’m glad that current school officials decided scheduling a last visit was important. The turnout proved them correct.

For many of us, that wrecking ball won’t disturb our memories or alter the way we remember those days on Parham Road.

After all, when all the dust settles and a shiny new campus sits on the site, the memories of five decades of students remain, one and all Tucker Tigers.

And after almost six decades, the buildings will soon be gone and a new school will rise from the ruins of the old.

But those memories, glimpses of the good times and the ones we treasure and have indelibly stamped in our minds will last forever: while others will remain buried under the dust and debris of a demolished landmark.

grounds Building to be recycled. Refrigerators, air conditioners, microwaves, stoves, water heaters and more that might have junked up someone’s yard or gone to a landfill were dropped off to be properly disposed of at this event.

According to organizers, residents brought more than 150 appliances and more than 650 tires for recycling. Organizers paid special tribute to the PHS JROTC Battalion, which helped unload tires and appliances, and the Powhatan Fair Association, for once again offering up its location to host this important event.

The celebrations were rounded out with the April 22 planting of a native red maple tree in Fighting Creek Park. This event, while simple, is always nice because it speaks to a commitment to the Earth for years to come as this small tree grows higher and higher.

At the root of all of these events is a simple message that the Powhatan Anti-Litter Council, Earth Day Coalition, Powhatan Cooperative Extension and others have been saying for years: there are many ways you can help in the effort to reduce, reuse and recycle. We can’t do everything, but if every person did something dedicated to the health of our planet – switching from plastic to reusable bags, planting a tree, recycling tires, donating items instead of throwing them away, not littering, or using refillable bottles – we would still be creating a better world.

Telecommunicators honored

Board passes proclamation to thank Hughes for service

PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors passed a proclamation on March 25 recognizing National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week on the week of April 14 to 20. The proclamation acknowledges that the prompt response of sheriff’s deputies, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel is critical to the protection of life and preservation of property, and the safety of those first responders is dependent upon the quality and accuracy of information obtained from citizens who telephone the Powhatan County Emergency Communications Center. The Public Safety Communication Officers with Powhatan County’s Public Safety Department are the first and most critical contact citizens have with emergency services and are the single vital link for our deputies, firefighters, and emergency services personnel through monitoring their activities by radio, providing them information and ensuring their safety.

They have contributed substantially to the apprehension of criminals, suppression of fires, rescue of trapped victims, and treatment of injured or ill patients while exhibiting compassion, understanding and professionalism during the performance of their duties.

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors passed a proclamation on March 25 recognizing Henry “Gil” Hughes, who has been a volunteer for the Powhatan County Volunteer Rescue Squad for 15 years and is a Life Member. The proclamation acknowledged that Hughes has been an EMT and Enhanced EMT among other certificates he has held or currently holds; has served in many positions at the rescue squad, including that of president; has mentored and helped train numerous members; and has worked with the county to ensure the rescue squad has the equipment needed to support Powhatan County including new trucks, monitors, and equipment.

During the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors meeting on March 25, Janice Pelchat was recognized as the Meritorious Service Award recipient for the Public Safety 911 Communications Center.

The citizen volunteer began working for the Powhatan Fire and Rescue Department in May 2018 to assist with clerical and administrative work.

She worked diligently with the department to update their training and certification records and reviewed and entered more than 900 security forms to update the county’s records since August 2018. Her hours of volunteering freed up staff members to do other work regarding responding to the emergency needs of Powhatan citizens.

EARTH DAY CELEBRATION The Powhatan Earth Day Coalition thanks our community for a wonderful 11th Earth Day Celebration!

Special thanks to our event participants and the following sponsors, without whom the Celebration would not have been possible.

“Since growing an orchard is an investment in time that will take years to mature, it is probably best to choose a location with full sun and good drainage,” advised Wilkerson.

Always avoid excess mulching particularly overloading it around the bases of trees.

The Waiting Game

“All we can do now is be patient and give things plenty of time to break dormancy this spring,” says Wilkerson. “I’m sure certain perennials and even some shrubs will be lost but I do not expect it to be catastrophic.”

Established and especially native plants are surprisingly resilient. Fingers crossed! In gardening we plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Virginia McCown is a master gardener living in Central Virginia along with her garden and assorted creatures both great and small.

“We do that through farm features and the ‘County Close’ like the one on Powhatan, as well as cooking and gardening segments on each show. All of those elements relate to agriculture,” he said.

Video producer Dave Miller visited the county on March 18 to take a closer look at two local farms and talk about Powhatan’s overall agricultural picture for the segment. Miller, who owns Miller Productions, travels around the state interviewing farmers, Virginia Cooperative Extension agents and Farm Bureau personnel in each county to talk about what makes them unique.

The segment tends to be both a broad look at a county and a close-up of individual stories. It looks at agricultural counties to see what makes them unique and interesting and show that to the viewers, Miller said.

“We like to make the public aware of the farmers’ situations and issues. The people that live in urban areas are pretty far removed from local farms. If they can’t get out to the farms, we can bring the farms to them and show them what the farmers are thinking and doing to bring the best product they can to the consumer and keep their farms going,” he said. “There are a lot of challenges – not just the weather.”

During his visit to Powhatan, Miller traveled to two farms, Bill and India Cox’s Casselmonte Farm and Wilson and Cindy Denoon’s Trenholm Farm.

Also tagging along were

Medina, Chase Melton, Aubrey Miller, Elijah Montgomery, Ariana Mulcahy, Travis Oliver, Scarlett Ortiz, Emma Palmore, Sawyer Peterson, Avery Reed, Jayce Rice, Sydney Richardson, Dominic Rodriguez, Michael Rose, Nicholas Rucci, Skylar Ryan, Zachary Seibel, Kaitlin Shelton, Adalyn St. Lawrence, Ethan Stepko, Piper Sumpter, Loghen Tiller, Sofi Wheless, Natalie Whitlock, Alyssa Williams, and Siraj Yarrell.

Max Timberlake, president of Powhatan Farm Bureau, and Rachel Henley, Powhatan’s agriculture and natural resources extension agent.

For the segment, Bill Cox showed off several key areas of his niche farm, such as the area where ginger is grown, the blueberry fields and the section with logs where shiitake mushrooms are grown.

He talked about his business but also the diversity of agricultural endeavors in Powhatan, whether people are cultivating cattle, hay, specialty vegetables or horses.

“It is always good to have publicity about things that are positive in your county. If people are watching this and a smile comes to their face and they say wow that must be a nice place to live, I will be very happy,” Cox said.

Wilson DeNoon, who raises cattle, spoke both about his current beef cattle operation and the history of his farm, which has been in his family since the mid 1800s.

“One of the main parts I like is that it goes back so many years. I go out in the field with my father to look at the cows and that is the same thing that happened with my grandfather and great-grandfather,” he said.

Despite the length of time the farm has been with his family, DeNoon credited Henley’s help in the last few years with showing him how to better his farm.

She taught him about breeding rotations, cleaning up his streams with better buffers, and improving the health of his cattle. She even brought 4-H youth to help give his cattle shots.

“The health of the cattle changed completely to almost no heard issues at all,” he said.

When he was interviewed, Timberlake paid special attention to highlighting efforts to improve agricultural education and resources in Powhatan in recent years. This included not only having Henley become a full-time employee available to help local farmers but offering programs like the upcoming Celebration of the Horse festival and advocating for increased presence in the schools.

“We are proud of the fact we are educating youth in agriculture. Agriculture is more than just farming.

Agriculture touches many career opportunities all the way from chemistry to how to create medicines for cattle and livestock to engineers designing farm equipment,” Timberlake said.

Henley was a fount of information about Powhatan’s agricultural resources, especially local farms’ connections with the different markets in the region. She also talked about subjects such as beekeeping, equine opportunities, how technology can be used to help run a better business and the importance agriculture plays in Powhatan County.

“I think one of the biggest things citizens in Powhatan want is for it to stay rural and not become Chesterfield. But to stay rural, you have to maintain open spaces. To maintain open spaces, it should probably be productive land,” she said.

Indians get historic win over Trojans Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

OWHATAN - Take the experience of battling through an unforgiving Jefferson District schedule, mix it in with monster clearouts by Powhatan’s defenders, throw in the blistering speed of senior Maya Rottmund, and what do you get?

Head coach Jared Rottmund unleashing a joyous cheer, Katlyn Hicks and company racing to hug teammate Maya, and the Powhatan Indians celebrating a monumental 1-0 overtime win over Region 4B rival Midlothian on April 24.

“Midlo is a very tough opponent – I’m not sure Powhatan has won in the last decade against them,” Coach Rottmund said. “I’m really happy…these girls, they never cease to amaze me.”

Maya’s incendiary pace helped clinch the game after both teams went back and forth all the way into the second five-minute OT period. Once she got a hold of the ball with only the goalie in front of her,

she sprinted forward and powered the ball inside the netting on the left side. Her teammates quickly embraced her, and then the Indians held off the Trojans’ final pushes to secure the wild triumph.

“Maya, that phenomenal speed…that kid can run.

She gets on her horse and goes, man. That’s what we’re looking for, and then that placement, beautiful placement,” said Coach Rottmund, who is also Maya’s dad. “But it all started back with [Faith] McNeel and [Jeanne] Wolkiewicz. They both really played strong.”

One notable improvement that pushed the Indians toward victory was a switch-up in their formation, which played to the players’ strengths. One of those changes included moving Sarah Amiss back, and she joined teammates Wolkiewicz, Rachel Mueller and Emily Matthews in clearing out the ball on several clutch kicks, including one key shot that freed PowNICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY hatan of having to fend off a chain of corners.

OWHATAN – Sometimes, in baseball, the biggest plays happen when the ball goes a small ways.

C&F BANK’S ATHLETE OF THE WEEK SOFTBALL ALL-STAR WHO: KAYLA DAVIS

933463-01

WHAT SHE DID: The Powhatan High School sophomore, batting cleanup, played a role in five of her team’s six runs in an April 23 win over Orange County, 6-1. Davis delivered two big hits across the first two innings: a tworun double, and a two-run inside-thepark home run – the first of her varsity career.

Powhatan Softball improved to 7-3 and six straight wins prior to Thursday, April 25.

Davis scored two runs and led her Indians with four RBIs. In just two innings, she had helped her team jump out to a 6-0 lead, which proved key in the victory.

“I feel like we’re coming together very well,” Davis said. “From the beginning of the season to now, it’s a huge difference. We’re all coming together as one.”

us of Richmond Leadership Award scholarship.

He was shocked – and really excited.

“It was a really cool moment,” Jacob said. “It means so much to be classified with all these other great candidates. You look on there, you’ve got people with 1600 SATs, and All-State and AllNational athletes, and it’s just an amazing honor to be up there with those people.”

In a historic year for Powhatan High as far as the award is concerned, Jacob became the fourth student-athlete from the school – after Maggie Salomonsky, Calie Rehme and Katlyn Hicks – to be nominated for the $10,000 scholarship.

“It’s incredible – I think it’s just a testament to our senior class this year,” Jacob said.

“Our senior class is so phenomenal in the community, in athletics and in the classroom, and I think it’s great for us to be this class so we can set an example for future classes and it’s so amazing that our class has this opportunity.”

The leadership award celebrates a student’s achievements across the community, athletic and academic spheres.

Jacob is ranked third in his graduating class with a grade point average of 4.56. He’s received the school’s Academic Excellence Award for the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years, and he was a Junior Marshal last year, meaning he had the honor of escorting the seniors at graduation.

He’s in three Honor Societies: the National English Honor Society, the National Art Honor Society and the Science National Honor Society. And he’s part of doing something really cool right now with the Science National Honor Society: he and his peers are creating lesson plans with the intention of teaching them to the elementary school students.

“My group’s first graders, so we’re teaching them about the moon and tides,” he said.

“It’s going to be really fun.”

Jacob has never missed a day of school, unless it was for an athletic or school-related event.

“That’s really a point of pride for me because I think, today, you see oftentimes people missing work, people missing class and…just for me…if I commit to something, I’m going to do it, and I’m going to do it 100 percent – just be the most dependable person I can,” Jacob said.

In balancing the various aspects of his life – schoolwork and beyond – for Jacob, playing sports has always been something of a sanctuary.

“It’s something that would take my mind off the day, and if I had a tough day at school, I got to look forward to going to wrestling practice and having fun with some of my friends,”

Jacob said, “or going down to football practice on a Thursday or whatever it may be, or looking forward to the game or event that we had that coming day, and on game days for football, it was always kind of stressful; you’re nervous for the game, but at the end of the day, it’s all fun for me, and that kind of maintained the balance for me and it just kept my whole experience fun.”

Jacob first started playing football when he was 10; the game on the gridiron had always been his favorite sport, as well as a passion of his.

He’s played a lot of different positions, but quarterback was always his favorite. He had the opportunity to go to the Manning Passing Academy for four years, where he not only met star athletes including Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, but also got to have current collegiate standout QBs Jalen Hurts and Jarrett Stidham as his counselors. His accolades in football include being named the C&F Bank Athlete of the Week three times.

He’s also been a key part of memorable moments on the high school field.

When Jacob was pulled up from JV to varsity to be the backup quarterback – they only had one QB on varsity at the time, he noted – the Powhatan Football team, throughout the entire preseason, had been in search of a kicker... ...until one of the coaches said, “Hey Jacob, can’t you kick?”

“I said, ‘I’ve done it before!’” Jacob recalled. “So they pulled me out to kick, and I guess I was pretty good at it.”

His first game kicking was against Hopewell in 2016.

The Indians had rallied out of a 12-point deficit to tie up the contest with no time left in the fourth quarter, and Jacob, then a sophomore, was tasked with kicking the extra point; he had missed making the previous point-after-touchdown.

Not this time.

His PAT kick sailed through the uprights, propelling Powhatan Football past the Blue Devils for the thrilling 29-28 victory. Moss’ game-winner was a key moment in the Indians’ 5-0 start to the season and also in an 8-2 run to the 2016 playoffs.

This past season, the Indians traveled to Albemarle while on the playoff bubble and they battled the Patriots through a tightly contested matchup. Powhatan led by 7, but Albemarle came back to tie the game and send it into overtime.

The Patriots then got the ball first and scored, forcing the Indians to answer.

They did, courtesy of standout running back Jacob Taylor – whom Moss also called one of his good friends and a “really, really hard worker.”

Taylor punched the ball across the plane on fourth down for

the touchdown, and legendary coach Jim Woodson elected to go for two and “get out of Albemarle,” Jacob said.

“He looked at me and said, ‘Can you do it?’”Jacob recalled his coach saying. “I looked back at him and said, ‘Yes sir.’”

They ran a quarterback sneak.

Jacob dove over the goal line with the ball in-hand.

He got up and threw his hands up, but the referee didn’t call it at first.

“I looked back at the ref, I’m like...I was definitely in.”

Everybody was standing there for a minute, Jacob recalled… …and then the ref ruled it a two-point conversion.

“The team ran off the sidelines, everybody rallied together,” Jacob said, “and I think that helped lift us into the playoffs as a good team moment.”

The Indians went on to make the postseason on a winning record in Coach Woodson’s final year at the helm.

In addition to playing on the gridiron for many years, Jacob has also been a longtime competitor on the mat.

Wrestling – which Jacob first started doing when he was 11 – was initially a sport meant to complement football and help Jacob become a better football player.

But then, as high school came around and he started on varsity at the end of his freshman year, Jacob really began to love wrestling.

“That’s just a testament to the coaches,” he said, praising Powhatan Wrestling’s coaching team of Jonathan Tanaka, Zach Olson, Mike Manna and Richard Fitzsimmons as “amazing people.”

“They really grew my love for the sport,” Jacob said.

“They’re what you call transformational coaches for me.”

Moss this year placed fifth at states in the 195 weight class; he is a two-time regional runner-up, a two-time Jefferson District champion, Powhatan High School’s 2019 Arrowhead Invitational champion in 195, the 2019 Arrowhead Invitational Most Outstanding Wrestler in the upper-weight division, a Beast of the East qualifier, a 2019 NHSCA qualifier and a C&F Bank Athlete of the Week. He also received the team’s 2019 coaches award.

While Jacob doesn’t see himself as the most talented person, he believes that he’s one of the hardest workers; he feels that being disciplined and maintaining a strong work ethic helped carry him through both football and wrestling.

Whether it was during the football season or outside of it, he trained year-round in the weight room for the gridiron.

Typically, he’d get out to the field multiple times a week to work with his receivers.

He also has always looked forward to working out with his dad Adam, who is the owner and operator of Moss Sports Performance and works with training and improving student-athletes at the Mike Walter Sports Facility and Blackhawk Gym. Jacob has trained there three to five days a week for the past fourplus years.

“It’s always been a constant for me; I can always look forward to going to the gym and getting a good workout in, and it’s something that makes me feel better physically but also mentally,” Jacob said. “If I’ve had a rough day…I go there, work out and I feel better, and it’s great to spend time with

my dad as well.”

On the extracurricular side, Jacob was part of the Interact Club and Guitar Club in ninth grade, and he’s currently part of Future Business Leaders of America, which he joined this past year. His group qualified for states, where he and his peers participated in a business plan event that consisted of creating a business and making a viable plan for said business.

He’s done a lot of community service through the nonprofit Blackhawk Wrestling Gym. In addition to assisting with various fund raisers, Jacob helps and mentors the youth wrestlers at their practices there.

“I get to roll around with some of them, and I’m a bigger guy, so a lot of them like to try to take me down and jump on me and stuff,” Jacob said smiling. “It’s a lot of fun getting to go hang out with those guys and just be a good role model for them.”

He even got to go see them through their successes at their own state competitions this past year.

“A lot of them did very well,” he said, “and it was just great for me to see the kind of impact I’ve had on a lot of them.”

Similarly, with football, Jacob had worked with the young quarterbacks and linebackers at the Tribe and Warriors combined youth football camp, where he led them through drills and helped them with things like footwork and throwing.

“That’s just been a great experience for me, too, because it reminds me of the fun part of sports,” he said. “At that age, it’s all about having fun, and it really reminded me of why I started playing sports in the first place.”

Outside of sport-related community service, Jacob has helped out with Earth Day in Powhatan’s historic Village area the past two years.

Last year, he had a great time helping people set up their vending stations, and for Jacob, “it was really cool watching everybody come together and celebrate the Earth.”

This past year, although he didn’t sign up to go, he decided to attend and help out anyway. He showed up, and he recalled the woman in charge, who recognized him from the year before, saying, “Oh, he’s back! He’s back!” She gave him a clipboard and he did the same thing he had done the previous year.

His community work with the Earth Day celebrations, stems from his passion for the Earth and the environment, which is also what’s driving him towards his current career goals.

Jacob is looking to get an engineering degree (preferably in chemical engineering), use that bachelor’s degree to help him in getting a master’s in chemical engineering, and

then use that master’s degree to help the environment in some way.

“I see our environment – our physical environment and global environment – as something that doesn’t affect just one person or one group of people or one culture, but something that affects everybody,” he said. “I see…the state of our environment as an issue and I feel like I can do something to help leave a better legacy for our generation and leave the Earth better than we found it.”

The most influential experience for Jacob was receiving the 2018 Mike Walter Most Improved Wrestler Award.

“For me, that was really a testament to who Coach Mike was and it was really great for me to honor what Coach Mike did with Blackhawk,” Jacob said of the late wrestling coach and Blackhawk Gym cofounder, who was killed in the line of duty as a Virginia State Police special agent in May 2017. “He didn’t go seek out the most talented wrestlers, but he saw potential in every wrestler and he wanted to pull that potential out of them and make them into hard-working, determined and respectful young men and women, and for me to earn this award, it meant a lot for me.”

Jacob has never really seen himself as a vocal leader, but more-so as a leader by example - somebody who strives to exemplify what a leader should be day-in and day-out.

He noted that he thinks about how his decisions would impact others, and also about how others would see the decisions he’s making.

“I try to do the right things all the time,” he said. “I try to show up every day, work hard, be dependable, be respectful…because it’s hard to make the right decisions and good choices all the time, and that’s just what I try to do.”

Jacob’s family, he said, has had a really, really great impact on him.

“They have always been constants for me, supporting me in whatever I do,” he said.

“They’ve really instilled some great qualities that I know I’ll take on to the future…dedication, dependability, hard work.

I can’t thank them enough.”

Fast start sends Indians past Orange, 6-1 Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – After two innings, sophomore Kayla Davis had already launched a double, smashed an insidethe-park home run – the first of her varsity career – and scored off the bat of teammate Maddy Hayden to factor into five of her team’s six runs. Her focus, she said, was on getting her team on the board early.

That turned out to be the key, as Powhatan, aided by Davis’ two monster hits and four RBIs, quickly jumped out to a huge lead in a 6-1 win over visiting Orange.

By first inning’s end, the Indians were leading 3-0 after Briana Hensley and Lindsey Elam reached base on backto-back singles, Davis drove them in on her double and Hayden plated Davis.

Powhatan kept it rolling in the second as Elam reached on a fielder’s choice, Rileigh De Weese sent her home on a triple into right field and Davis delivered the inside-the-park homer.

“It inspires us to keep going and always try to do whatever we can for the team,” Davis said.

Kayla Davis (left), seen taking off for home, had two hits - a double and an inside-the-park home run for two RBIs each and Sarah English (right) struck out eight batters while also batting four-for-four at the plate.

Orange put together a pair of hits in the top of the fourth – a triple and an RBI single – to get a run on the board, but the Indians continued to make big plays in the field.

Lindsey Elam in that same inning caught a hard-hit flyball and zipped it to De Weese at first base in time to get out the runner trying to tag up, completing the 9-3 double play.

Hayden also dove on a line drive for a big out.

“Defensively I thought we played heads-up,” Powhatan Softball head coach Marie Crump said. “We’re improving every day – the goal is to keep going up, better and better. It’s the little things: just take care of the little things and the big things will happen, and that’s key for us.”

Hensley batted four-forfour with a double and a run scored; Elam had a hit and scored twice.

Sarah English shined both in the pitcher’s circle and at the plate. She batted four-forfour to complement a pitching win that saw her strike out eight batters, including six in the last three frames.

She scattered four hits and one run across seven innings and faced two batters over the minimum.

Powhatan improved to 8-3 and won seven straight games prior to Monday’s contest

at Fluvanna. The Indians on April 25 drubbed Western Albemarle 16-3.

“I feel like we’re coming together very well,” Davis said on April 23. “From the beginning of the season to now, it’s a huge difference. We’re all coming together as one.”

“I’m pleased with the direction that we’re taking,” Crump said. “I’m hoping all our hard work continues to pay off for us.”

Powhatan Boys LAX looks to bounce-back Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – With upcoming matchups against Charlottesville and Clover Hill next week, the Indians (6-2) will look to bounce back from their 20-11 loss to Hanover on April 23.

“The kids are coming along,” Powhatan Boys Lacrosse head coach Joe Niles said after the game. “We came off Easter Break, so we’re a little bit flat. It’s always hard to have a game right after a holiday, so we’ve got a little work to do.”

Despite the loss, Powhatan’s Connor Jeffs had a huge night in goal,

making 12 saves against the Hawks.

“For a freshman I think he’s doing amazing; he’s been working incredibly hard,” Niles said. “I talked to the guys about commitment and Connor’s one of those kids, since this last fall, he’s just been supercommitted to the game. I ask him: ‘Hey, let’s stay after and get some extra shots;’ he’s always asked me, ‘Hey coach, what else can I do?’ I know he’s doing a lot of stuff at home, so he is supercommitted and I’m glad to see he had a really good game.”

Niles said they matched up well with the Hawks, and the In-

dians kept it close into the third quarter. Ethan Niles landed a goal off of Adam Camp’s assist to whittle Hanover’s lead down to 11-10, but the Hawks, who overall were led by Keegan Smither (5 goals, 1 assist) and freshman Benjamin Chadwick (4 goals, 1 assist), pulled away on five unanswered going into the fourth quarter, and continued to hold the Indians scoreless through the game’s duration.

Coach Niles noted that Powhatan focuses on playing fast, physical and aggressive.

“We were fast, we were physical, we were aggressive, but we were also in the penalty box

for a lot of the game, too,” he said. “And a team like that, we can’t play…a man down like we did the second half… we started getting penalties, we got a little frustrated and they started scoring goals.”

Powhatan Today, May 1, 2019

TANAKA Continued from pg. 1B

longtime Godwin coach Steve Crocker, also a board member for the Virginia Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, shared the news with him.

Tanaka had been named the Billy Martin Sr. Coach of the Year.

“It kind of caught me off-guard,” Tanaka said. “Very honored and really happy for my staff to get recognized as well.”

The news of Tanaka’s achievement was shared across social media last week.

“As a kid who wrestled in high school in Virginia, you know the Martin name and the legacy they left behind,” Tanaka said.

Billy Martin Sr., known as the father of wrestling in Virginia, led Granby High School Wrestling to 21 state championships.

Tanaka said he was “very honored to be in the company of some really great coaches” who have also earned the award – people who he knows and respects.

Tanaka was born and raised in Hawaii and moved to different places across the country early in his life as his dad was in the Army. He lived in California before moving to Yorktown, where he attended and graduated from Tabb High School.

Tanaka wrestled for the Tabb Tigers and collegiately competed for the Longwood.

“It’s been kind of overwhelming, the amount of people who have reached out to me to congratulate me – people I haven’t talked to in a long time – college teammates, college friends,” he said.

Tanaka’s coaching career spans 17 years: two at Nottoway, six at Varina, two at Glen Allen and the last seven at Powhatan. He’s seen and heard congratulations from student-athletes, parents and supporters across the different communities where he’s contributed his coaching talents, which, he said, “is awesome…that I made enough of an impact on their lives that they feel compelled to congratulate me.” He got to see that he “was a big part of their journeys.”

One of the reasons Tanaka was attracted to Powhatan was because he loves the area’s community feel.

“I think a lot of people want that aspect, so I think we try to do our best to make sure we can maintain and keep it that way,” he said while praising the support that the Powhatan Wrestling program receives from the community and the school.

“It’s such a cool thing to watch a community be proud of their kids and their sports teams,” Tanaka said.

As a coach, he speaks to always being open to new things, and to learning not only from the great high school and

collegiate coaches he had growing up, but also from great coaches around him, including John Marshall, with whom he had worked before, and his current Powhatan Wrestling coaching team of Zach Olson, Richard Fitzsimmons and Mike Manna. For all the accolades that have and will come his way, Tanaka enjoys sharing the credit and glory with his fellow coaches.

“We’ve been together so long, at this point we all know each other, we know our strengths and weaknesses,” Tanaka said. “It’s a really good group – it’s fun to work with people that don’t have egos, that just want what’s best for your kid.”

It was a collective effort, he said, that not only led to Jacob Moss and Jarrett Tronge placing fifth, Colby Cheatham powering his way to fourth, Sean Hall battling to third and J.D. McMillin winning the 120 weight-class championship at this year’s state tournament, but also to McMillin, Hall and Linwood Hill winning this year’s regional championships and to Powhatan Wrestling qualifying eight competitors overall – including Gavin Timmons and Jack Mundt – for states.

But Powhatan’s wrestlers, Tanaka added, also understand that just because you weren’t a state champion or state placer, doesn’t mean you were unsuccessful.

The Indians’ Senior Night wrestling match, held Jan. 30, celebrated not just the seniors, but also wrestlers like Wes Coward, Connor Benway and Cole Burton, whom Tanaka that night called the team’s “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 every day.”

Tanaka also praised the commitment of Dylan Coward. All season, match-after-match, the 85-pound wrestler battled competitors who were 20 pounds heavier in the lightest VHSL weight class at 106. But Dylan never complained – he worked really hard, and he attended every off-season practice, Tanaka said.

“I think that’s a win,” he said. “Now he’s found something that he loves doing and he’s going to get better at, and it’s been really cool to watch him kind of blossom.”

Tanaka and his fellow coaches want their wrestlers to look back fondly on their high school years as the coaches still do themselves, and they want to help and see them reach their goals and do great things in life.

“We want our kids to be prepared for the real world,” Tanaka said. “More importantly, I think they know that they have people that are always going to be behind them no matter where they are in life – if they need us, they know that we’ll be there for them.”
