Volunteers express frustration with leadership By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – Powhatan County is currently dealing with a great deal of uncertainty regarding its fire and rescue department and the direction it is headed. For the last several weeks, the department has been at the forefront of local county business as the board of supervisors weigh decisions about funding and morale, two separate but also inextricably linked issues. With the fiscal year (FY) 2020 real estate tax rate and budget still up in the

Local government aids Census 2020 prep By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Even with almost a year to go before the 2020 Census begins its job of gathering statistical data of citizens across the country, efforts are under way to help make the
process smoother in Powhatan County. County government is doing what it can to promote awareness of the census and the benefits it will bring to Powhatan, county administrator Ted Voorhees said. It is important to remind citizens why the census is so critical, he said. It is in the Constitution. The Founding Fathers understood that in order for you to have a representative democracy, some of that was going to be a numbers game, he added. The census provides vital data that determines how many representatives each state gets in Congress, he said. There are also a number of formula-based grants through the federal government that are dependent on Powhatan having a good census count, including with areas such as highway funding and schools.
“The census is a very American thing. For those who are concerned in our surveillance economy that Google or Facebook knows too much, none of that is the census. That is conflating two different things. The census is an inherently American tradition and is essential to our democracy,” he said. Over the next year, the county will be taking steps to help with awareness of the census. Staff will be reaching out to local community leaders to form a Complete Count Committee, which will use members’ local knowledge, influence and resources to educate the public about the census in the coming year and then promote it as Census Day, which is April 1, 2020, draws closer, said Carla Neidigh, who will be the county’s point of contact for the committee. see CENSUS, pg. 8

Powhatan County Fair celebrates 100 years By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Fair is ready to celebrate a century of history, laughter and community this month. When the fair opens its gates on May 17 for the first of three days of fun, it will be marking 100 years since the event started in 1919. Organizers Randa Jackson and Runda Harris say the special anniversary fair will be both a celebration of the past and a
promise of a bright future to come for the event. “We're a pretty important organization in the community, mostly a hidden asset, but maybe this celebration will make us a little more obvious. The more people know of us they can join us! And help us help others,” Harris said. The fair will open at 5 p.m. on May 17, and 1 p.m. on May 18 and 19 at the fairgrounds, 4042 Anderson Highway, Powhatan. Closing time depends see FAIR, pg. 8
YMCA garden ready for season with help of young workers By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – Tucked to one side of the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis YMCA is a hidden gem called the Love Your Neighbor Garden. Started six years ago, the small garden continues to thrive each year and offer both a way to grow vegetables for people in the community and to pass on knowledge about gardening, said Wendy Hager, who started the garden along with Lisa Bennett. Manned by volunteers and kept running through donations, the purpose of the garden has always been to benefit the community, said Hager, who is also a group exercise instructor at the YMCA. The garden grows food that is donated to the Powhatan Food Pantry, Friendship Café for local seniors, and YMCA members. When they have an excess of produce, the garden has also donated to local first responders, she added. The garden was busy with activity last week as volunteers taught children in the

A few dozen people gathered for the ceremony to formally present the building, which was the last of several projects in a bond package approved by the current board of supervisors in 2016. After words from a few dignitaries and a ribbon cutting, guests had the opportunity to take a tour of the new building. After county administrator Ted Voorhees welcomed all of the guests at the ribbon cutting, he pointed out the many people present who contributed to making sure the new building not only fit in with the historic courthouse building but would function as a cutting-edge facility for years to come. He especially pointed out the public works team led by Ramona Carter that oversaw the project, including Christian McIntosh and Mark Piper. “Lots of moving parts and trying to fit that all into a historical building – that is no small task,” he said. Chairwoman Angie Cabell, who represents District 3 on the board of supervisors, called the building “the final jewel in the crown of the bond package” she and two other board members voted to approve in 2016. “As happy as Ramona may be to have this behind her, I am sure that everybody who works in this building all week long is especially happy to have it behind them.

The knowledge that Powhatan’s emergency 911 dispatchers needed more room than the crowded space they had inside the sheriff’s office is not a new one, Chief Circuit Court Judge Paul Cella said.

Anonymous fire and rescue survey shows influences on volunteer numbers By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – Results were recently released from an anonymous survey done among Powhatan County’s fire and rescue volunteers. The survey was done at the request of supervisor Larry Nordvig in March after the board heard a presentation on fire and rescue that involved funding $1.18 million in paid staff to improve emergency services coverage in the county. A few of the board members expressed doubt about the data in the presentation. Nordvig especially talked about the decline in volunteer numbers and what might be causing it and asked about surveys and exit interviews to better understand if they have issues they need to be fixing. The Powhatan Today received the results of the surveys filled out by both current and former volunteers through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. In all, 123 current members and 40 former volunteers responded to the survey, which was the same for both groups. County administrator Ted Voorhees shared the
survey results with the board of supervisors in an email on April 25 and noted the diversity of responses. “I’m not sure we have learned anything that we didn’t already know. However, it does show that folks have lots of different reasons for why they either stopped volunteering or why they have decreased participation. Some of it has to do with County leadership, and some of it has to do with Company leadership. Work and busy lives is a big factor among both current and former volunteers,� Voorhees wrote. The survey establishes a little personal and professional data – the respondents’ ages and employment statuses – before focusing in on their role in the department, including what they are certified to do, their early experiences with recruitment and training, their status as an active member, and the number of hours they volunteered now or in the past. While some current volunteers have blamed poor leadership and department politics with a number of departures and current low morale, the survey results and many of the comments in the anonymous survey

show that is not the whole picture. Among the 40 former volunteers, the top four categorized reasons volunteers said contributed to their decreased participation were work, followed by company level leadership, county fire and rescue department leadership, and duty hours required. Among 14 written comments that accompanied this question were answers such as a lack of department leadership and not adhering to standard operating procedures to ensure safety; disliking the way active membership is calculated on activities such as meetings and fundraisers and not solely on responding to calls; starting a family; moving out of the county; a change in family dynamics; lack of communication and double standards on the company level; current poor leadership at the department level, and getting tired of the “good ol’ boys� club at the station level. The “good ol’ boys club� at the station level was a comment that popped up a number of times when former volunteers were asked why they were no longer members. Other reasons cited included problems with individual company leadership, including one accusation of sexism; moving away; no appreciation for years of service; too many requirements other than response activity (calls, duty, training) to stay active; became a paid county employee; too busy at work or with life; age and poor health; too many duty and training hours; and concerns over the volunteer leadership and lack of training standard. Among the 123 current volunteers who responded to the question about what
has affected their level of participation, the top categorized reasons for a decrease were county fire and rescue department leadership followed by work, county fire and rescue department policies, and relationship with career staff. Of those, 40 left comments on topics such as the training requirements for specific jobs being hurtful to the volunteer organization; volunteers not having input with department leadership; fire and rescue Chief Steven Singer making no effort to build relationships with the volunteers; negative interactions with career personnel; work commitments; feeling “pushed away� by new policies and requirements and staff; disrespect, harassment, and discrimination by company leadership; lack of recognition of volunteers; setting stations up to fail with response requirements; lack of voice in fire and rescue decisions, and Singer only seeming focused on building a paid department. One volunteer also mentioned discrimination based on ethnicity at the company level. While the final question about why a volunteer is no longer active was not aimed at the current volunteers, several still chose to respond. Some expressed thoughts they are having about leaving because of the current culture at their individual station; Singer’s poor leadership; company level lack of communication, commitment, enthusiasm, and proper and new leadership, and work commitments. One volunteer simply wrote, “Haven’t yet. Emphasis on ‘yet.’ � Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

pate in it. Company 4 secretary Bill Donati said the seven firefighters who sat down for the interview did so because they wanted to talk about the individual companies’ morale and issues with poor leadership and communication skills by Singer, all of which havebuilt up and are now boiling over. Donati traced the time period that he felt morale started decreasing back to 2015 and the county’s adoption of code changes that removed district chiefs’ ability to have a vote at a county level, making the senior policy group more of an advisory board. That advisory board continued to transition until it was simply a meeting where they received directives to pass down the line, he said. “So we went from all of the companies having a voice at the county table to not having a voice whatsoever. Now it is nothing more than the district chiefs coming back and saying this is the change for this month, this is a change from last month and this is a new change for next month,� Donati said. The meetings used to be a discussion with a vote taken, agreed Joe Moudry, chief of Company 4, adding “now it is a dictatorship.� Many volunteers who dedicated years to fire and rescue left because they no longer wanted to deal with the situation, said Brenda Breon, firefighter and president at Company 1. The department’s recruitment and retention program has been effective about bringing in new volunteers, but less so in efforts to keep them, thus losing years of experience, others in the group agreed. (An anonymous survey that drew responses from 40 former and 123 current volunteers show this may be part of the picture but not all. See full story on left). Lack of communication is the No. 1 breakdown current volunteers cited. The volunteers have been unhappy with how they found out about new directives or changes made at the department and station levels. They also raised a huge issue with how their ideas were not being heard or given credence by Singer. In addition to problems with communications, the volunteers cited unreasonable expectations with training requirements. Training requirements for volunteers are too much to maintain for people who have to hold down one or more jobs and take care of their families, Donati said. On top of that, the classes are not offered in the county. This does not mean they are asking to send out untrained personnel into the field, Breon said. She talked about the many hours of classes and testing that firefighters and EMTs have to complete for basic certifications and then how they build on their certifications and skills over time. Scott Millett, a firefighter with Company 5, said he came from Hanover County, which is about 25 years ahead of Powhatan in terms of how it transitioned from volunteer to adding paid staff and having a mixed force. That department created a distinction between the requirements put on
volunteers versus paid staff, and rightly so, he said. “I have had that argument in our training committee and I got shot down. I have had numerous times where I have come to the training committee and all of us are in absolute agreement that some of the class requirements that Steve Singer has ‌ need to be changed and we get told later, no he won’t even look at it,â€? Millett said. Other issues cited by the volunteers included: Poor use of resources – The volunteers discussed the change in call types firefighters have been tasked with responding to, going from mainly running advanced care calls such as chest pains or drug overdoses to calls for headaches, back pain or abdominal pain. Lack of appreciation of and participation with volunteers – The complaints ranged from a complete lack of countywide fire and rescue events such as picnics or awards banquets to Singer not attending any company events to him simply failing to show appreciation for volunteers’ service. Recognition of their contributions has been a common theme among the volunteers throughout this issue.
Looking ahead Given their complaints and what has gone on in the last few years, the volunteers were asked if there was any way back to a good working relationship with Singer in their eyes. “Not with Chief Singer,� Moudry answered frankly. “He pretty much lost all respect from volunteers,� added Curtis Shepherd, a volunteer with Company 4. The firefighters were reluctant to speak about the proposed tax increase because they fully admit they do need additional paid staff and a few stations even requested some of the positions in the proposal – although not as many as Singer said are needed for full and enhanced coverage. Given their determination to keep volunteering, they worry what the reactions from citizens will be if they see on their tax bill how much of it is going toward fire and rescue and then have volunteers asking for donations to help cover some of their costs, said Michael Clarke, a volunteer at Company 4. Donati also returned to the issues of leadership, communication and morale that need to be addressed. He pointed to the proposal of the 3.5 tax rate increase and the potential creation of the fire district tax, which, if funded as is, would be used only to hire paid staff. “Every station – five fire companies and the rescue squad – sent a letter to the board of supervisors, the county administrator and the fire chief. The one thing that was common in all six of those letters was poor morale, frustration, lack of communication and lack of leadership,� Donati said. “If that tax increase happens – I’m not saying it’s good or bad – but now you are going to take and double the staff and give that to somebody that has bad leadership and poor communication skills. Now you are giving him twice as much of a reason not to communicate with volunteers because he has even more staff.�

Mom’s life lessons teach the power of words By Laura McFarland News Editor
M
y mom taught me that greeting card shopping is not simply exercise to be endured. Last fall, I talked about a visit from my mom in which we did quite a few things in Powhatan, as well as just spending some time together at home. On that visit, we went through a box of possessions that belonged to my dad, who passed away when I was 7. There were many cards in that box – mostly from my mom to my dad. They usually had personal messages but some let the card do the speaking for them. See, for my mom, a card is not just a temporary roadblock stopping her from reaching the main event – whatever gift she received. She always reads them – both the message on the card and whatever personal touch you might have added. She takes them to heart and she treasures them.
If you are shopping with her and she says she is going to pick out cards, find something else to do, because it will take a few minutes. A card has to have the right message and right look and really speak to what she wants to say to a person, even if they are not close. Through this simple exercise and so many other life lessons, my mom taught me about the power of words. She taught me that words have the power to wound and to heal, to express love and indifference, to inspire and to discourage. I have seen her shine brilliantly and weep tears of joy when the right words of peace and love were spoken over her. I also have seen her look as if her heart was breaking in her chest and the tears fall down a face wrenched in pain from poison-tipped words that hit their mark. When we talk about the power of a mother’s words over her children, it is often in the context of actual children. The idea is that what she says will help shape them into who they become as adults – something I truly believe.
But I don’t think it is completely about age. I am in my 30s and still think my mom’s words have power – her congratulations mean more to me than anyone, her criticism stings more than anyone, and her lecturing annoys more than anyone. Despite being pretty close to my mom, with Mother’s Day only a few days away, of course I am thinking more about her and how to make her feel special. I think about what words I can say to make her smile and feel like 1,200 miles away isn’t too far to feel how much I love and appreciate her. I spend too much time picking out just the right card with just the right message. I buy it confidently three weeks in advance even while I worry I am yet again going to forget to mail it until days before the actual date. I look forward to the Skype call when she can see my face and I can see hers and I can look into her eyes and thank her for being my mom. And I can look forward to the smile that will bring to her face, because, to my mom, words have power. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Supervisor offers alternative proposal to fund fire and rescue needs for the county Dear Editor, Our community is in a heated discussion about whether to (and how to) enhance fire/EMS performance while minimizing the need to raise taxes. The proposal here is an attempt to outline a set of actions the board of supervisors can take, both for the immediate situation and for the long haul. It is offered as a stake-in-the-ground around which we can rally in making substantive decisions “to get on with it” – the “it” here meaning our responsibility to solve problems as expeditiously as possible. I do not, in this proposal, seek scapegoats. I do not adhere to a personal or political agenda. I do not play to any constituency except the people of this community who, by-and large, trust us to make timely, reasoned, balanced, deliberate, factbased decisions. Finally, in this preamble, let me say that what I want is a dialogue—and eventually a set of answers—that is focused on moving forward—not sidebars, recriminations, speaking to special-interest groups, or “having my way.” Let me be clear as to what the following proposal is trying to accomplish: A. Arrive at a balanced budget, of course; B. Agree to a tax levy of less than the 91.5 cents advertised rate; C. Provide extra funding for fire/rescue to meet their last-minute request and provide enhanced services, as we have discussed multiple times.
Setting the Stage 1. We cherish the dedication, skill, and sacrifice that our volunteer fire, EMS, and rescue professionals have provided the people of Powhatan. Not only are we grateful to them for their lifesaving and property-saving efforts, we also acknowledge that their volunteering has saved taxpayers an extraordinary amount of money since we have not had to pay paid personnel for decades. 2. Volunteerism nationwide is down. 3. Calls for service are up (data from fire/ EMS). 4. The county administrator’s proposed 2020 balanced budget is $84,682,814 (net of transfers). 5. The BOS, by a 3-2 vote on April 11, 2019, voted to advertise a tax levy of 91.5 cents, a 3.5 cent increase over 2019’s rate. The 3.5 cent increase was earmarked for enhancements to fire/ rescue. That brings the proposed budget to $85,860,046 (net of transfers). Each penny of assessment yields $336,178. 6. The rate may be lowered for the final budget, if the board chooses. This proposal seeks to do that.
7. I have not used the potential $771,935 savings from bond refinancing (if we opt to refund), because this is one-time money. I assume we will put this money in Capital Reserve. 8. I have not used last-month’s proposed reductions for fire/rescue, i.e., the rent on fire/rescue buildings, uniforms, etc. These cuts are off the table. 9. This proposal also does not dip into fund balance. Note that the Board of Supervisors’ Strategic Initiative No. 1 is public safety.
Proposal Based on the fire/EMS analysis and proposal put forward by the county administrator and chief (at the direction of the BOS); public input; input by volunteers and paid fire/EMS personnel; feedback at fire station meetings and with fire/ EMS leaders, etc., I make the following proposals: 1. We vote to approve the PCPS proposed budget in order to allow the school board/school administrator to let teacher contracts for the approaching school year. 2. We proceed with the planned “summit” meeting in May of BOS members, staff, and Fire/EMS/RS personnel to sketch out issues and potential answers to the fire/EMS situation. Three specific issues, other than those listed under #3 and #4 below, have been advanced by Companies 2 and 4, and that the summit might address, are: A. Revisiting and possibly funding the enhanced volunteer incentive program. B. Creation of a full-time assistant chief and a span-of-control less than the present organizational structure where “everyone” reports directly to the chief. C. Revisiting of the CAD, which some see as more complicated than it needs to be. 3. We vote to add $180,000 to the Fire/EMS 2020 operating budget for 96 hours/week ambulance coverage. 4. We vote to fund three paid personnel (24/7 coverage) to Station 4 and another three paid personnel (24/7 coverage) to Station 2, for a total of $ 431,774. 5. We table the rest of the county administrator/chief’s fire/EMS proposal (the 3.5 cents increase). The BOS—present or incoming—incorporating the results of #2 above, can choose at a later time what further enhancements, if any, to make to the fire/EMS budget. Any such changes would be guided by the 90 percent within 14.5 minutes response time voted on by the BOS as a critical metric in performance management. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

Board recognizes FFA, agriculture PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND
The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors passed a proclamation on March 25 recognizing March 17 to 23 as Agriculture Literacy Week in Powhatan. The proclamation acknowledged that FFA and agricultural education provides a strong foundation for the youth of Powhatan and the future of the food, fiber and natural resources systems and promotes premier leadership and personal growth to ensure a steady supply of young professionals to meet the growing demands in the science, technology and the many business careers related to the agriculture industry. FFA and Agriculture Literacy Weeks are an opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service, Monacan Soil & Water Conservation, Farm Bureau and FFA Alumni as advocates for agricultural and forestry.
Powhatan resident and YMCA veteran to lead Elizabeth Randolph Lewis YMCA Contributed Report Christy Austin, a longtime Powhatan resident, has been elevated to the role of executive director at the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan branch of the Greater Richmond YMCA. Austin has worked in numerous capacities and at several branches for the Y, starting part-time at the Shady Grove Family YMCA in 2002 while in college. Austin started her full-time Y career at the Elizabeth Lewis Randolph Powhatan branch as the member services director in 2006. Austin has also worked at the James Cen-
LEWIS
ter YMCA (now 10th Street YMCA) and the Swift Creek Family YMCA in Chesterfield, and as she puts it “I’m now coming back home to Powhatan, so this is really full circle for me.”
She went on to say, “I find inspiration in helping others and genuinely believe that there is something innately special and humbling about seeing others become the best version of themselves. I find it incredibly rewarding to be able help build relationships with those in the community that may not be familiar with who we are and why we do what we do. The Y really is my home away from home.” Austin is a graduate of Radford University (BS, sociology) and replaces Adam Foster, who has assumed the executive director role at the Manchester Family YMCA.

There are a number of fairly well paying jobs that they are having a hard time filling. They need to get the jobs filled to get the census filled properly,” she said. The jobs will come in waves and change over time. There will be a big push with this census for people to fill out their questionnaires online. Traditional canvasers will be employed next year to go door to door to those who didn’t fill it out online. “It is a benefit to Powhatan County to get as many of our citizens employed as possible. There is nothing but benefits for this whole thing. There is no downside for the county,” she said.
Area census offices are expected to open in July and address canvassing will begin in August, according to census materials. The Complete Count Committee will also be formed in the coming months. For the rest of 2019, the main item on the census timeline is simply raising awareness, Voorhees said. Promotion will begin in earnest in 2020. Citizens may start filling out the census online in March 2020, and then Census Day will be April 1, 2020. Nonresponse follow-up will be from early April to late July 2020.

A Decorated Cookie Contest with the theme “Celebrating 100 Years, Powahtan County Fair,” will be held on May 17.

For more information on the cookie contest, contact Jane Henderson, family & consumer sciences extension agent, at 804-598-5640 or johns59@vt.edu. Organizers are still asking people to submit pictures or share their stories related to past fairs as part of the celebration. Reaching this milestone is a huge reason to celebrate, Harris said. “It is surreal actually. We have had so many obstacles. Just like with any other organization – we have had set backs financially or with needing resources and hands to help. It has been hard pulling it off every year with the little bit of hands we have. To reach the mark of 100 years for this group feels really good,” she said. The fair’s origin dates back to 1917, when landowner William Walton entrusted the 13.3 acre site where it sits to the African-American citizens of Powhatan. During the strictly segregated era of Jim Crow, the property – according to courthouse records – was deeded to the “Colored Citizens” for use for their county fair and community gathering
place since they were not allowed to attend such events unless they were attending to the needs of their employer. In 1919, Walton, who was an agent with the Virginia Cooperative Extension, wrote to the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors requesting assistance in organizing the county fair for the county’s black citizens. The county would have separate fairs until the 1960s. The fair held on the Powhatan Volunteer Rescue Squad property dissolved, but the fair organized by the Powhatan County Fair Association held at the fairgrounds has continued without interruption and welcomed all citizens. Over the years, the Powhatan County Fair Association has evolved to become more than just organizers for the annual county fair. Today, the organization is focused on educational programming for youth, providing a venue for charitable organizations to raise funds for those in need and offering a warm, welcome space where people feel safe, Jackson said. “We are all about anybody who is being not accepted. We are saying come over here, hang out with us and have fun,” she said. “Every year we have tried to bring in different groups and organizations so everybody feels involved. We want it to be a community affair where everybody feels welcome.” For more information about the fair, visit www. powhatanfair.org. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

He fell in love from the start. “It’s a totally different dynamic from any other sport, and that’s the best part about it,” McMillin said. “I never MCMILLIN had to worry about someone else doing something different because of politics…I just knew that if I beat him in a wrestling match, then I’m the one who’s starting, I’m the one who’s out there, I get to perform to my best potential.” The experience that solidified McMillin’s passion for wrestling – as well as his path to doing great things in the sport – was ironically a 2-week wrestling camp that he described as probably the most grueling thing he’d ever done as a 5th grader – “we’re running around with 2x4’s over our heads, we’re doing death runs…we run until we stop being able to walk.” “It was awful – he said – “but it was probably one of the funnest times I’ve ever had.” In his first match, McMillin faced an opponent who had wrestled longer than him – and McMillin won by technical fall. “I didn’t know what I was doing – I just saw all the points just started going up; I was like, ‘I need to keep doing the same thing over and over again! It works!” McMilin recalled. “It was amazing, and that’s pretty much how I see MCMILLIN, pg. 6B

OWHATAN – The ball skipped past the intended Powhatan player and into the outfield, and the Bluestone runner looked to take advantage, dashing towards third base. But the relay found Powhatan third baseman Megan Gobble, and she tagged the incoming player. As the umpire signaled the out, she unleashed a roaring cheer and hugged her pitcher Madalyn Johnson. Gobble’s play had just clinched the game – and the 2019 Southside Conference Championship – for Powhatan Middle School Softball.
“It’s awesome for these girls; especially having 7 6th graders on the team, that’s huge,” said head coach Melissa Clayton. Lots of practice, effort and hard work put in by the players, she said, helped them go undefeated in conference play and power through their postseason games for the title. “And my pitcher [Madalyn Johnson] just said: The 10-minute runs actually paid off in the end,” she said with a laugh. This year’s team was several players deep, and they showed it throughout the semifinals and championship game in the conference tournament.

Times-Dispatch James Poore has coached baseball at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in Powhatan County for the past 19 seasons. But 2019 has been unlike any year prior because he has a new assistant coach on staff: Gary Brock, who also happens to be Poore’s mentor. Poore attended BSH and played baseball there when it was known as Huguenot Academy. Brock was the team’s coach, and Poore was
a disciplined contact hitter and an analytical baseball player. The team reached the state title game his freshman year and won its regular-season conference title multiple times. In 1996, Poore graduated and went to Hampden-Sydney, and Brock, who had won 200-plus games, took a job at another school, spending the years at Tabb, King William and J.R. Tucker.

Powhatan Boys Lacrosse sweeps C’Ville Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - Corey Palmore added an exclamation mark to an already electrifying performance when he flicked the ball into the net from behind his back. That was goal 6 of 7 for the senior, who scored all 7 of his goals in the first half to lead Powhatan in a 17-5 trouncing of Charlottesville on Senior Night. “Corey’s a special player...we’re going to really miss him, it’s too bad he’s a senior - I’d love to be able to carbon-copy him somehow,” Powhatan Boys Lacrosse head coach Joe Niles said after the game. “He’s so athletic - he’s fast, he’s quick, and he just does not stop. He’s so tough, and he runs through things, and he enjoys it I think, which is amazing. He’s a great kid, smart kid, super-smart kid and he just doesn’t give up. He never stops.” Powhatan freshman keeper Connor Jeffs continued to deliver, reaching up to stop several shots in time and racking up 13 saves in goal. “Amazing job in goal today - he did really, really well,” Niles said of Jeffs. “He’s been working so hard - I’m so happy to see it pay off for him, he played super in goal today.”
It was a more sound victory this time around for the Indians, who had battled that same team into overtime earlier this season and had squeaked past the Black Knights in that contest 16-15. Niles noted two key differences this time: Jeffs wasn’t starting his first game in goal for Powhatan as he did in that March 26 game, and the defense tightened up around him. “They were missing another player, but we worked very much on our defensive approach and how we play,” Niles said, “and the guys really pulled off the game plan nicely.” NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY Face-off specialists Chase Mahaney Corey Palmore (4) gets ready to score a goal in an April 30 home game and Ryland Davis excelled at winning versus Charlottesville. possession at midfield, with Mahaney and were honored prior to the game. muscling his way down field on an really good job at it.” Behind Corey and Ethan, Robbie In their rivalry matchup with Cloearly drive that set up one of 4 goals Williams scored 2 goals and Jacob ver Hill on May 3, the Indians (8-2) scored by Ethan Niles on April 30. “We worked on a lot of stuff this Leynes, Jacob Taylor, Jared Somer- triumphed 19-6 behind 5 goals and 1 year, and Coach [Jason] Davis has ville and Brandon Palmore made 1 assist each from Jared Somerville and Corey Palmore, 4 goals and 4 assists come on board with us to help us spe- each.

POWHATAN - Powhatan Girls Lacrosse jumped out to a 3-0 start and held command from there, defeating visiting Charlottesville 14-8 on April 30 to keep the Indians rolling strong midway through the regular season. “It gives us a lot of confidence; the girls have the ability to play every game like they played today, and they really brought it today,” Powhatan Girls Lacrosse head coach Laura Camp said of her players. “They went after every ground ball, they won the majority of draws, they played high-pressure defense - everything that we practiced over the last week, they executed, so I couldn’t be happier with the way they played.” Nailah-Bena Chambers, Hailey Camp and Jordan Krauss each scored 3 goals to lead Powhatan; Ashley Van Buskirk had 2, and Jade Dowdy, Anna Grace Causey and Michala Taylor each made 1. Causey, Van Buskirk and Brittany Samuels each had 1 assist. Powhatan led the Black Knights 8-2 at the half and ultimately matched them goal-for-goal the rest of the way. The Indians in Tuesday’s contest were
able to play all their players and get them crucial experience on the field. “That’s how they learn, so I’m really excited that players who haven’t seen that kind of playing time got some playing time tonight, and they did an awesome job,” Camp said. She loved seeing those players’ aggressiveness and their effort; they have a lot of new players on defense, she noted, “and they were amazing at going after interceptions and applying really good pressure.” “We’re on the right track,” Camp added. “We’ve got...some tough Charlottesville teams coming up, so this is a really good confidence boost for us going into those games.” The Indians dominated their Senior Night game over Monacan on May 3, 17-1. Friday’s game honored seniors and four-year varsity players Anna Grace Causey, Ashley Van Buskirk, Ellie Sullivan, Mary Kate Roberts, Nailah-Bena Chambers and Moriah Stanley. The Indians (6-2) play Fluvanna on the road on Tuesday, May 7 (5:30 p.m.) and Western on the road on Wednesday, May 8 (5:30 p.m,) before playing their final scheduled regular season home game against Monticello on Friday, May 10 at 6 p.m.

On April 29, Kayla Davis rocked a 3-run homer in the third inning against Fluvanna; she got on base 2 more times on walks and turned both of those walks into 2 more runs scored. Briana Hensley batted 2-for-4 with an RBI and Sarah English scored 3 runs after reaching base on 2 errors and a fielder’s choice. Emmalee Lawson had a hit and 2 RBIs. English tossed a 3-hitter in the circle and struck out 4 in the pitching victory. The Flying Flucos’ defense delivered a 3-up, 3-down top of the first inning, but Powhatan in the second turned a walk by Davis and an error that put English on base into 2 runs scored off of back-toback sacrifices from Lawson and Maddy Hayden. The Indians opened up the game on 5 runs in the third inning with the help of Davis’ 3-run homer, RBI singles from Lawson and Hensley and a single and run scored by Jillian Ratliff. Gabby Moore in the fifth added a single and a run.

Hicks gets hat trick in 7-0 rout of Lions
Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor
POWHATAN - The Indians on May 2 stormed the net in a 7-0 shutout of the visiting Louisa Lions. “I think we played well,” Kaila Cook said, “and we gave it our all.” Head coach Jared Rottmund said his players connected on passes, communicated well and worked on possession. “It was a good possession soccer game,” Coach Rottmund said. “All-in-all, it was just a good night for the ladies – constantly improving.” Senior Katlyn Hicks flexed her quick pace early on as she zipped to the post and placed two goals within the opening 5 minutes of game time. She earned her third hat trick of the season on a penalty kick in the second half and ended the night on a team-leading 3 goals. Hicks also had a hand in her team’s third tally, as she rocked a corner kick that Rachel Mueller finished-off along the left side of the post to record a goal in the contest. Emily Matthews hammered a direct free kick over the goalie’s reach and into the net for goal no. 4, and Kyla Greenway gave her team a 5-0 lead before the half
as her kick gave the ball enough momentum to clear the defenders racing after it. Sarah Amiss delivered a well-placed kick down the left side of the goal to make it 7-0 with over 20 minutes to play. The Indians kept the pressure off of senior keeper Jennah Jarosinski, who played in goal for the shutout. Powhatan’s win showed the improvement that the unit has continued to make; the players upped their goal total from their 5-1 triumph over the Lions on April 9. And while the previous two games for the Indians were losses of 1-0 to Western Albemarle on April 25 and 2-1 to Charlottesville on April 29, those matches were also improvements over early season meetings against those same teams, when Western won 6-1 on March 25 and Charlottesville won 4-0 on March 28. Powhatan was scheduled to rematch Fluvanna on Monday, May 6 and will play at home against Monticello on Thursday, May 9 at 7 p.m. The Indians tied the Flying Flucos 1-1 on April 11 and fell to Monticello 3-0 on April 15.

Powhatan Boys Soccer battles in narrow loss Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Keeping one’s head in the game carried as much literal meaning as it possibly could have in a hotly contested first-half between Charlottesville and host Powhatan, as the combined three goals from both teams hit the net off of headers. Powhatan struck first, but the next two of those three goals would propel the visiting Black Knights past the home team 2-1 on April 29. It was the young Indians’ third straight game against a high-caliber opponent. But just like with the previous two matchups – a narrow 3-2 loss to Midlothian and a 2-2 tie against Western Albemarle – Powhatan was in the game against Charlottsville until the very end. And the fact that his young team is staying in these kinds of games, head coach Tim Cristian noted, speaks volumes about his players. “If we can stay healthy and continue getting some points and get into the playoffs, I think we have some chances to make a run at it,” he said. “We’ll see, but you’ve got to love the heart and grit and determination of these boys – they’re something else.” The Indians jumped on the board on a chain of plays initiated by the fast Parker Sloan getting tripped-up.

call against Charlottesville set up a free kick for sophomore Zach Shelor, who hammered the ball into a high trajectory; the ball bounced off the head of Sloan as he and the goalie both flew to the air to contest it. With the goalie falling forward in his bid to make the save, tall Powhatan freshman Kaleb Muminovic had a clear look at the goal as he rose to meet the incoming chance. He capitalized, connecting on the
header to send the shot into the upstairs netting for a 1-0 lead within the first seven minutes of play. “He’s one of our tallest guys and we give him a hard time because he never seems to get a head on something,” Cristian said, “so he pointed over to his teammates to say, ‘Hey, I got one!’” Charlottesville then battled a stonewalling effort from Powhatan’s defenders, led by senior Austin Palmore in
goal and aided by several big clear-outs from his teammates around him. Palmore throughout the game made a smorgasbord of saves, hitting the ground to protect the edge, getting his hands on hard-hit lasers, racing to incoming grounders, diving forward for stops and leaping skyward to both catch and deflect air balls with a chance. He also knocked away a close call within the final 3 minutes of regulation. “He’s come alive, hasn’t he?” Cristian said of Palmore. “He’s kept us in that game – we didn’t deserve to be in it, and he made some huge saves, huge saves – point blank, some of them! I mean, they hurt listening to them…” But the Black Knights eventually answered with two headers of their own; Ethan Hatcher powered one into the net over the attempted jumping block by Palmore to tie the match 23 minutes into the first half, and then Charlottesville went-ahead near the 3:15 mark before intermission when Rachade Kondo angled the ball from left to right on his lead-getting header. Powhatan Boys Soccer (4-6-1 after Friday, May 3), who was scheduled to play Fluvanna on Monday, May 6, is continuing to show through its play that it cannot be judged on its record. “What more can you ask for, that we compete in every single game,” Cristian said. “It just tells you how good we must be playing to keep this close.”

On May 2, they rounded out the week on a 12-2 loss to Southampton Academy, who on May 3 edged out Walsingham Academy 2-1. “We play against a little bit tougher competition right now,� Poore said, “so we’ve got to play better.� A win in the first round of the conference tournament would mean that BSH would advance to play on Wednesday; regardless of how the tournament plays lead-off hitter to give her team a 1-0 start literally right off the bat. Nottoway put the tying and goahead runs on base in the fourth inning off a walk and a single against two outs, but after Powhatan turned a 4-3 play to get out of the inning, Nottoway’s batters were unable to reach base in the final three frames. Powhatan, meanwhile, poured on four runs in the bottom of the fifth, courtesy of a two-run triple from Olivia Snider, a sacrifice fly from Destinee Raynor and an RBI single by Mackenzie Flora to plate Bella Hoffman, who had reached base by clocking a double into center field. The defense locked down both the diamond and the outfield behind Johnson with six-up and six-down over the sixth and seventh innings to ensure the semifinals win. In its 6-1 title-earning triumph over Bluestone on May 1, Powhatan, just like with the April 29 game against Nottoway, used a fast start to take an early lead. This advantage was much steeper. In the bottom of the first inning, Harper, Flora and Hoffman all hit singles, Johnson plated a run on a single of her own to help her case on the mound, Leah Bellamy connected on a two-run single and Wachtel knocked

Bluestone put runners on base in the first and second innings before breaking through with a run in the fifth, but Powhatan’s defense once again clamped down while the offense matching the visitors with a run of its own in the sixth, courtesy of an RBI by Gobble to send home Addison Elliott, the courtesy runner for Johnson, who hit a triple.

“I’ve got 3 really good seniors we’re going to miss,� Poore said of Roudabush, Reilly Dickerson and Noa Hasty, “and I think that they want to go out the right way.

POWHATAN - Jacob Pfab and Ryan Steinruck on April 30 defeated Charlottesville’s Alex Brandon and David Green 8-3 in doubles for Powhatan’s sole win in an 8-1 team loss to the Black Knights. The Indians host Fluvanna May 7, 5 p.m.

started.” It’s been no holds barred ever since. Through his experiences and successes in League Champions, McMillin first started to see that he could excel on the mat; he’d wrestle the same opponents over and over again, and he came to win leagues in the League Championships. When McMillin in one particular match edged out a girl by one point in overtime, he and his coaches collectively came to see that he was picking up the sport really well. McMillin has been driven to win that state championship ever since he understood what states was. He found that kind of success at the middle school level, winning 1st in states in 8th grade. High school, he noted, was a different animal, and he took his lumps. But it did also click for McMillin then that he was going to win states, and he knew he would – he just had to put in the work. To McMillin, having goals in wrestling is essential, and for three years of high school, he imagined himself being on top of that podium, and after finishing runner-up in that finals match as a junior, McMillin knew who he had to beat: Eastern View’s Dillon Werth. On Feb. 16, 2019 in a bustling Robinson Rams gymnasium in Fairfax, senior J.D. McMillin stood atop that podium in real life, having defeated Werth in a come-from-behind effort to win the Class 4 120 weight-division state championship by a narrow 5-4 decision and become Powhatan High School’s third-ever state champion in wrestling behind Jake Tomlinson and four-time champ Collin Gerardi. McMillin tallied up keynote accolades both along the way and after states. He repeated as Region 4B champion, earned Most Outstanding Wrestler in the lightweight category at Powhatan High School’s Arrowhead Invitational and became the first Powhatan wrestler to achieve Outstanding Wrestler in the Black and Blue High School Division on an undefeated run in the prestigious Virginia Duals. And then, for the second straight year, he was named to First Team AllMetro. “First Team All-Metro to me definitely shows you where I began in high school and where I finished off, which is great,” he said, “ because I wasn’t even close to being First Team or Second Team All-Metro my freshman and sophomore year, and once my junior year hit and I got it twice, I was like, ‘Wow!’ It just shows when you’re working hard, that’s what you’ll get.” Since winning states, McMillin focused in on nationals. He competed in the NHSCAs and won 5 matches, but lost 2, and was 2 away from placing. “It opens my eyes that I’ve got to work harder,” he said. He wants to be an All-American in college, and he wants to compete and be pushed to his best ability; he’s also focused on getting a good education. “As much as I love wrestling…I didn’t focus on my education as much as I should have; especially in college, I need to buckle down and do that,” he said. “I was told: Wrestling will end at one point in your life; it’s what you learned from wrestling that will stay with you, and that’s what I’m focused on.” McMillin plans to study sports medicine and become an occupational therapist – as well as a wrestling coach. “I love watching kids grow from being a first-year wrestler...and wrestling very well in [their] second or third year, even with these little kids. It’s amazing to see that happen,” McMillin said. “One moment you see this kid can’t even get a takedown, and he’s

now racking up takedowns – he understands the technique. I just love that, I love that.” From the start, he’s been surrounded by influential coaches, from Hanover Hawkeye Club and Atlee High School head coach Gabe LaVey and Powhatan head coach Jonathan Tanaka, to assistant coach and mentor Zach Olson and the late Mike Walter, who was there on McMillin’s first day. They all pushed McMillin to be the best that he can be. Mike Walter instilled in McMillin a drive to keep going, and showed him that you have to want to win. “He said: If you really want to win it, you can win it; it’s all mentality,” McMillin said. Two months into knowing Coach Zach Olson, McMillin, then a sophomore, drove eight hours to go to a wrestling camp in New York at Cornell University. “Zach…he basically just showed me the ropes of what it means to be a true wrestler,” McMillin said. “He showed me that wrestling’s not all about knowing the right techniques; it’s just knowing to be calm in those situations.” Olson also introduced McMillin to FloWrestling, which McMillin has used to study the sport through watching film of archived matches. “He definitely created a whole new connection for me and wrestling, not even from just a competitive part, but just watching it and admiring it,” McMillin said. He was also motivated by his peers around him, from Leipertz, who helped start it all, to wrestlers like Gerardi, Sam Tomlinson and Jeffrey Hoyt who helped McMillin to push himself. He still has “a very, very strong memory” of a time when, during a wrestling camp drill, he almost put down a plate and Jeffrey, who was with him, screamed at him as hard as he could something along the lines of “Don’t you put that dang plate down…or we’re going to have to do sprints again and I don’t want to have to do sprints again!” And McMillin and Sam, when the latter was a senior, would go up to Blackhawk Gym every Sunday for two-and-a-half hours and wrestle and lose weight. Through the second half of his junior year, McMillin wrestled a lot with Sean Hall, who was a state runner-up at 106 in 2018 and a third place finisher in states this year at 126. “In practice that kid would put up with me well,” McMillin said of Hall. “He’s a good kid.” During summers, McMillin trained with his friend, neighbor and fellow state champion R.J. May of Maggie Walker Governor’s School. “R.J….he helps me push myself because he’s heavier than me, I’m fast; he’s more of a laid-back kind of guy, I love to push the pace,” McMillin said, “so definitely a clash of styles, and really helps benefit the both of us.” McMillin also loves scrapping with good buddy and two-time state champion Evan Buchanan from Atlee High School and Hanover Hawkeye Wrestling Club. “That kid – every time I come into that room, I love wrestling with him,” McMillin said. “He definitely gives me my money’s worth.” For McMillin, it’s always fun to find someone else who can kick the stuffing out of him. “I don’t know if a lot of guys can admit it, but I love getting beat up,” hesaid, “because it helps me understand what I need to work better on.” McMillin is grateful for everyone who has supported him along his journey from beginning to now. “Now I’m ready for my next part in life, which is to wrestle in college,” McMillin said. “I’m excited for what the future holds.”
