Board, first responders work toward solutions By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors and the county’s first responders recently sat down for a productive workshop that didn’t solve all of their problems but seemingly created a path forward they could all live with. After weeks of vocal discontent among first responders about morale and reports of issues with department leadership, as well as the possibility of needing to raise the tax rate to fund fire and rescue needs, the supervisors sat PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND down for a frank discusThe Powhatan County Board of Supervisors sits down for a frank discussion on May 6 with local sion on Monday, May 6 first responders about fire and rescue issues and needs and how to solve them. The board diswith fire and rescue squad cussed plans such as creating a committee that will better gather and analyze department data. personnel to figure out a
way forward. What resulted was a meeting that took a larger look at the problems within fire and rescue and how those may be addressed in a way that gives volunteers back the No. 1 thing they say they have been missing – a voice in their own department. The board and first responders made plans for committees to look at and address some of the issues and acknowledged that in some areas, they don’t have an answer yet but they can work toward one. Throughout the evening, when making plans for the immediate future, the board repeatedly referred to the volunteers working with acting Chief see VOLUNTEERS, pg. 6

and providing several different scenarios with how they might proceed. He brought a handout for the board with five different scenarios to consider, ranging from doing nothing over the county administrator’s proposed balanced budget all the way to the other end of the spectrum, of raising the tax rate by 3.5 cents and fully funding all of the requests fire and rescue Chief Steven Singer made in a presentation back in March to add $1.18 million in additional paid staff. see BOARD, pg. 4

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors chose last week not to raise the county’s tax rate but instead to do the work over the next few weeks to find funding for a reduced number of paid firefighters in the upcoming budget. During a special meeting held on Thursday, May 9, the board voted unanimously – albeit with some confusion – to adopt the fiscal year (FY) 2020 Real Estate
Tax Rate at a level 88 cents. After more discussion, the supervisors then voted unanimously to approve the school portion of the FY 2020 Operating Budget and then take time over the next few weeks to find funding for well over $400,000 in fire and EMS needs out of the county’s portion of the budget. Per state code, the board has to adopt its budget by June 30, 2019. The discussion on the tax rate started with Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, describing the challenges the board was facing

Middle school shows why kindness counts By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan Middle School PTO recently held a “Kindness Counts” campaign that challenged all students to share a little goodwill in their community. Between April 17 and May 10, students were encouraged to perform at least five acts of kindness at home, school or in the community, said PTO co-president Julie Mcsee KINDNESS, pg. 8
ichard “Dickie” Cox announced he will seek reelection as Powhatan’s commonwealth’s attorney. Since taking office in 2014, Cox has made technological and prosecutorial improvements that have brought the office into the 21st century. Under Cox’s tenure, the office has gone paperless by incorporating a case management system to improve record keeping and information sharing. He also worked with the circuit court clerk and the sheriff to adopt an electronic information sharing system to allow prosecutors direct and instantaneous access to circuit court files and sheriff reports. Additionally, Cox procured a Virginia State Police VCIN terminal so prosecutors now have immediate access to defendants’ criminal and driving records. These
technological improvements have resulted in a more efficient and better equipped office to serve the needs of Powhatan citizens. Cox obtained state funding for a full-time
COX juvenile and domestic relations prosecutor that had been a part-time position. This new position ensures that victims of domestic violence or sexual assault will get the attention needed for a successful prosecution. Under Cox’s leadership, DUI convictions have increased 163 percent, from 41 in 2014 to
108 in 2018. Cox also empaneled a full-time multijurisdictional grand jury housed in Powhatan. This powerful prosecutorial tool has taken Powhatan to the next level in prosecuting serious crimes such as murder, rape, robbery and embezzlement. The grand jury gives the office the authority to cross jurisdictional boundaries in prosecuting cases by allowing prosecutors to bring indictments, subpoena witnesses and subpoena documents from anywhere in the state. Cox also assisted the sheriff to develop a Child Sexual Exploitation and Internet Crime Unit that ensures the successful prosecution of Internet child predators targeting our children and our schools. Cox pledges to “Continue to improve service and keep Powhatan safe. Thanks for your support.”

n Saturday, May 18, SET Cleaning in Powhatan will be raising money for the American Cancer Society with its new event, “Smash Cancer with SET.” Finding a new purpose for a van that was out of commission, SET employees painted a van into a colorful display featuring different cancer awareness ribbons. With the help of County Line Tires in Powhatan, which donated the tires, the van is ready – to be smashed. The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on May 18 at SET Cleaning, 2927 Anderson Highway, Powhatan. The rain date is May 19. Everyone can come by and take their frustrations out on cancer. For the following donations, each participant will get: $5 (one swing), $10 (three swings) and $20 (three swings and a t-shirt). Organizers will be offering giveaways and food/drinks for all who participate for donations. All proceeds will be given to the American Cancer Society. Visitors may also come by the SET Cleaning office between May 13 and 18 to put a name of a loved one on one of
the ribbons on the van. There is a $1 suggested donation. Organizers have many reasons for wanting to do a fundraiser to smash cancer. Everyone has lost family members, friends or coworkers to cancer. They are trying to raise money for the American Cancer Society so that they can someday (hopefully in the near future), find a cure for cancer. SET Cleaning wants to encourage its employees to get more involved in the community through charity work. They want to raise awareness about the upcoming Relay for Life events. Information will be distributed at the Smash Cancer with SET event. Until they started this project, participating employees did not realize just how many different colored ribbons there are to bring awareness to cancer. Colors for the most common types of cancer are: lung cancer (white), brain cancer (grey), breast cancer (pink), liver cancer (emerald green), lymphoma (lime green), prostate cancer (light blue), and leukemia (orange). This will be a fun event for all that take part. How many opportunities do you get in life to be able to totally destroy

Scottville residents show hidden talents Contributed Report “My Hubby wanted us to ‘size down.’ Our oldest daughter showed us Scottville and that was all it took. I love it here. Love the people.” This was Rosa Noyes’ explanation of how she and her husband moved almost five years ago to Scottville at Powhatan Court House. Noyes has lived many places and gained various life experiences. She grew up in Danville, graduated from Longwood College, lived and taught for a while in Virginia Beach, then Salem, followed by Chesterfield County. The couple brought up three daughters as she followed her husband, Ned, through the military, college and career. The one constant in her life was her love of art and her talents as an artist. Whether it was elective classes at Longwood or doing bulletin boards in her classroom, she saw the world through colors, lines, light and shadows. When her children were little she took lessons from J’net Kaulfers, the founder of the Bon Air Artist Association. Like others who have moved to Scottville Noyes brought her art talents, memories of J’net Kaulfers' classes, and a willingness to share with her. Enter Jeanette Brannan, who returned to the Richmond area 10 years ago from Seattle, Washington,

and was now one of Noyes’ new Scottville neighbors. Brannan brought a different passion as executive director of Together Tanzania, a nonprofit organization working to provide educational opportunities for children in Africa. Finding out about Noyes’ talents, Brannan invited her over to see some photographs of an African elephant and a giraffe from her visits to Tanzania. She was trying to turn them into “art” for her new home. “I never realized I had any art

ability,” Brannan said, “but Rosa kept insisting, ‘You can do it.’ Now it is gratifying and exciting to look around my home and see my portraits of the [Tanzania] Maasai Women,” which she has painted in Noyes’ classes. Three years ago, Noyes began to teach an art class in her kitchen, modeled after those taught by J’net Kaulfers. Now it spills out into her great room. Noyes offers her afternoon classes each month for 12 students. Who would have thought in Scottville, a neighborhood built specifically for those “55 and older” who wanted to live in a “maintenance free” community, you would find so many budding and talented artists? On Sunday, May 19 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at May Memorial Baptist Church, 3922 Old Buckingham Road, Powhatan, Noyes’ students will join other artists and artisans of Scottville in a celebration of friendship and creativity. The community is invited to attend the free display of art, stained glass, wood working, hand quilting, crocheting, as well as other talents. The Scottville Writers’ Group will have examples of their collections of prose and poetry. This will, also, be an opportunity to meet many of your new Powhatan neighbors.

Even as the school readied for their impending graduation on May 4, half of the students participated in a dental clinic trip to Honduras. Eight students from the Powhatan School of Dental Assisting and the Chesterfield Technical Center volunteered to travel to Honduras from March 29 to
April 5 to put on a dental clinic in which they saw 94 patients for fillings, cleanings, and extractions, owner Melinda Hitt said. Also along on the trip were Hitt’s family, husband Corey and children Thomas and Olivia, who have been trained to do cleanings and fluoride treatments. In addition to the dental clinic, the volunteers visited three schools and comsee DENTAL, pg. 7

BOARD Continued from pg. 1
However, when he spoke, Tucker referred to a sixth option that he and David Williams, District 1, had devised just before the meeting started, and it was this scenario that Tucker ended up championing. This option would leave the tax rate at 88 cents; approve the schools’ portion of the budget that night; provide $180,000 for 96 hours a week in Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance coverage at the rescue squad; and fund six paid firefighters (three each in Companies 2 and 4) for 24-7 coverage to the tune of $431,774. The money he mentioned for the six firefighters includes salaries, benefits and a one-time personal protective gear cost. “Where the money would come from? We would find those funds necessary over the next
few weeks necessary to balance the budget with no tax increase if possible, searching out every potential dollar in any potential bucket, whether it be bond financing, 2 percent budget cuts, out of fund balance, etc. to negate the fire and EMS funding outlined,� he said. He subsequently made a motion to accept this resolution, which Williams seconded. The conversation then turned to the timeframe of figuring out how long they would give themselves to work on finding those funds in the current budget. In the midst of a lengthy discussion about finding workshop dates, Tucker insisted he had made a motion and wanted it acted upon and the dates could be worked out later. The board then unanimously voted in favor of the motion. It was only as discussion turned again to how they wanted to handle the

budget that Chairwoman Angie Cabell, District 3, and Bill Melton, District 4, admitted they were confused by the previous vote and did not realize they had just decided on the tax rate. Melton made a motion to rescind the previous vote that Cabell supported, but it failed in a 1-4 against vote with only Melton voting to rescind. The conversation then turned to one of two options regarding adopting the budget. The board was clear in its intention to adopt the school portion of the budget then. Where the discussion centered was deciding which would be cleaner: adopting the county administrator’s budget then and amending it later when they figured out where they would find the funds for fire and rescue or figuring out where they would find the funds and then adopting the rest of the budget. County administrator Ted Voorhees pointed out that his proposed budget did already include taking $180,000 out of capital maintenance reserve to fund the ALS unit, so if the supervisors approved that method, they only had to find funding for the six paid firefighters. After going round and round on which option was better, the board voted unanimously on the option that saw them adopting the schools’ portion of the budget but not the county side until they had determined where they would draw the funding for the fire and EMS needs. With that decided, the board made the situation a little trickier for themselves with the next item regarding a request from the treasurer’s office. Treasurer Faye Barton spoke about a fairness issue regarding how her employees who had been certified as Master Governmental Deputy Treasurers were not being compensated in the same way for reaching that cer-
tification as employees in the commissioner of the revenue’s office were for achieving certification. The discrepancy was because of a policy change in July 2018 that rewarded employees in the commissioner of revenue’s office with a 9.3 salary increase for reaching certification. Barton pointed out that all but one of her employees were certified and had been for years. Yet employees in a lower grade job (per a pay and classification study) and with fewer years of experience in the commissioner of revenue’s office were making more than employees in her office with more years of experience and working at a higher job classification. The board heard from Barton as well as Becky Nunnally, chief deputy treasurer, and three deputy treasurers, Deanna Mootz, Wanda Nevius and Mandy Kellaway (through a letter read by a co-worker) about what they called a discriminatory and hurtful policy. Their statements were followed by more lengthy discussion with the board trying to untangle the complicated issue that also deals with how compensation board funding is calculated. Also at issue was the lack of a county policy regarding taking away additional funding if an employee fails to become recertified. Ultimately, the board approved a scenario in which “9.3 percent of comp board salary, when certification was achieved, is taken out of current salary and new certification pay is entered at 9.3 percent of current county salary.� This change to their salaries begins immediately and means the board of supervisors has to find funding in Voorhees’ proposed FY 2020 budget for an additional $12,196.67. Voorhees said after the meeting that the county had already identified
$85,928 in reductions to part-time firefighter salaries due to the increase of full-time staff that would go toward reaching the delta the board has in front of it. Other business handled at the meeting included: The board had a discussion with county staff about setting a schedule for the supervisors to discuss, and potentially adopt the 2019 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan. Planning director Andrew Pompei presented a suggested schedule that will see discussions being held in May and June and potential public hearings on June 24 and July 29 (the second date if the board doesn’t adopt it on June 24). Williams asked for two public open houses to be held in June instead of one to allow citizens multiple opportunities to come ask questions and provide feedback. However he and Larry Nordvig, District 2, balked at the decision-making meetings falling in late June and July, when many people are on vacation. They suggested setting a calendar that saw the comprehensive plan being adopted in the fall. The other three supervisors disagreed and voted 3-2 in favor of the county schedule that could see the comprehensive plan, which is supposed to be a five-year update of the 2010 plan, being adopted in the next two months. The board also adopted an ordinance that amends the Powhatan County Code of Ordinances, Appendix A Fee Schedule, to increase emergency transport fees, planning and zoning fees, building inspection fees and to update certain other fees. This ordinance passed unanimously with no one speaking during the public hearing and no board discussion. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

participated in the ceremony highlighting the school’s Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. After remarks from a few school officials to recognize their hard work, the students were called up in the order of the companies hiring them and asked to sign a certificate of intent marking their plans to work there. Ten electricity students who have been participating in a work-based learning co-op program signed with companies that they have been working with and that now have hired them while they work through their four-year apprenticeship. After four years of apprenticeship, they can choose to take their licensure test to become licensed electricians. Those students and the companies they signed with are: William Arrington and Stone Cave signed with Davis and Green Electrical; Grayson Melton, Jacob LaMack, and Nathan Poe with Tolley Electrical Corp.; Ryan Minter with JL Minter Electrical Contractor; Dawson Ramsey with Express Electric Co.; Shane Baldwin and Hunter Moore with Douglas L. Gill Electrical, and Rodney Jones with Humphrey Electric Co. Inc. Garret Nester, the lone carpentry student to participate in the signing day, will also be receiving onthe-job training from the experienced carpenters in Sonshine Countertop Repair Inc., the company in which he will now work to further develop his skills. Electricity/carpentry teacher Mike Payne applied in October 2018 to be one of the schools holding a SkillsUSA Signing Day and learned in February 2019 that PHS had been selected. Payne said his purpose in applying for the event was to participate in a celebration that highlights the future path

his students are choosing – which may be different than many of their fellow students’ paths but is no less important. “I’d like to think that hopefully moving forward, if it’s not a SkillsUSA and Klein Tools Signing Day, that we have some type of signing day where our kids that are choosing to go to the workforce or the military get some recognition, because it’s a noble thing to do. Work is a noble thing,” Payne said. During the ceremony, John Ringstaff, assistant principal, talked about the
importance of partnering with businesses in the community to close the skilled labor gap. He pointed to statistics that say 83 percent of companies report a moderate to serious shortage of skilled workers and 69 percent expect the shortage to grow worse in the next three to five years. The high school’s CTE program is designed to provide the skilled workers the commonwealth and the nation need right now, said Dr. Mike Massa, principal. “It is absolutely a program that we are so proud
of here in Powhatan and there are so many different people who go into working on that – that is obviously our parents and students, who put in the hours and the support at home,” he said. Senior Grayson Melton said he grew up listening to stories about being an electrician from his dad and always had an interest in it. He joined the co-op program in his senior year and has been working with Tolley Electrical parttime. When he learned about the signing day, he was excited both because of the similarity to signing

day for athletes and because of the assurance of having a job in an in-demand field when he graduates. “People always need lights and electricity, so there is a job all the time in this field,” he said. Jacob LaMack moved to Powhatan in his junior year and started taking an electricity class. He said he fell in love with the field and joined the co-op in his senior year to work part-time with Tolley. He added he used to feel pressured about college, but once he started the electrical class, he knew it was
the right path for him. “I just love doing something with my hands. I don’t like sitting in an office,” he added. LaMack added that participating in the signing day felt like it “gave meaning to the people who actually go out and work right after school after they graduate. It felt pretty special.” Chip Humphrey with Humphrey Electric Co. Inc., who is also on the school’s CTE advisory board, said he appreciated an event that shows students college is not the only choice after graduation. He praised the comprehensiveness of the CTE program as a whole and how PHS prepares the students for their potential future careers. The companies who partner with PHS on the co-op program also benefit because they are hiring young people they have had the chance to work with part-time over the last year or more and observe their interest in a career, not just a job, he added. “You get to know them and know what you are getting before they go fulltime,” he said. With the nation dealing with a major shortage of skilled workers, having a CTE program like the one at PHS and holding an event to celebrate the students choosing that path is a big deal, said Greg Green with Davis and Green Electrical. He also appreciated the early access to the students as they are learning the trade so he can make sure they are learning the skills correctly. “It gives us an opportunity to train them right from the very beginning. We are able to teach them right instead of them learning things wrong and then coming back to us and we are trying to retrain them and unteach some bad habits,” he said.

VOLUNTEERS Continued from pg. 1
Phil Warner on these solutions. Fire and rescue Chief Steven Singer is out on medical leave until May 23, and no details have been shared about this. After a little over two hours of discussion where it seemed like those involved were coming to workable solutions, the one elephant in the room that had not been addressed was brought up by Michael Clarke, a volunteer at Company 4. “This is all well and good and you can get buy in from the volunteers all you want, but at this point you will not get buy in from volunteers if the current – albeit absent and not acting – county chief gets involved, because he is the one who removed the voice to begin with,� Clarke said to the applause of many others in the room. None of the board members commented on this but moved forward with the discussion. This topic was addressed only this once. The meeting also signaled the start of backing away from a possible 3.5 cent real estate tax rate increase. Serious doubts were raised about the fire and rescue data presented by Singer in March to justify asking for $1.18 million in new paid personnel in a plan to bring more comprehensive coverage to the county. Instead, the board seemed to be leaning toward only funding direct department requests from Companies 2 and 4 and the rescue squad, which was still significant but appeared to be more palatable for even the supervisors who typically are very fiscally conservative. The board firmed up these plans during a May 9 special meeting and committed to finding $431,774 in the fiscal year 2020 operating budget to fund six firefighters, including salaries, benefits and a one-time cost of personal protective gear. (See full story page 1). The May 6 meeting was attended by four board members, county administrator Ted Voorhees, Warner and more than 50 people, most of them fire and rescue personnel. Chairwoman Angie Cabell was not present.
Skewed data? In a meeting that lasted a little over two and a half hours, discussion mainly revolved around four key topics suggested at
the start by vice chairman Bill Melton, who represents District 4. The key areas he identified were numbers and data; rules and regulations; service, and a possible fire district tax. Much of the meeting was spent around the data presented by Singer in his annual report about response times and calls for both fire and EMS. The discussion came at it from several angles, including which reporting systems were used to compile the numbers; the validity of the way calls are being entered by personnel; the fact that the numbers had not been vetted by the fire and rescue senior policy group or volunteers; how realistic the standards the county has adopted are in measuring performance, and how the CAD system currently dispatches units could be affecting response times. Some of the key discussions regarding data included: Regarding Singer’s figures in his presentation, Warner said in the week he had been acting chief, he could not determine exactly how Singer came up with those numbers. Fire and EMS have a few different reporting systems, and he had yet to figure out which were used to tabulate the data. He stood behind the number of fire and EMS incidents that occurred in 2018 at 3,272 incidents because those were reported by the CAD system. However, regarding the other data in Singer’s report, he said he was afraid it might not be as accurate as he would want. Other fire and EMS personnel agreed with that assessment, saying they believed it was inflated. Larry Nordvig, District 2, went so far as to say he saw Singer’s report as having too much skewed data and that he would not use it in his decision making. Response times and meeting standards that the county had set were a big issue Singer used in his presentation on March 11 to say the county needed $1.18 million in additional paid staffing to provide the coverage the county needed. Planning commissioner Bill Cox – speaking during the public comment period – was the first in the meeting to question the data and what it actually meant, and others followed suit or referred to his presentation during the meeting. For fire, Cox said four out of five companies were averaging arrival times less than the county’s standard. The issue was
getting more personnel on the scene. But even that might be dependent on the standards the county is using for calls involving a longer distance, he said. For EMS calls, the median response times are below those established for rural counties in a study by the American Medical Association (AMA), he said. He pointed out that the 90th percentile standard the county adopted is more stringent that the AMA recommends for even urban and suburban areas. The fact that the data had not been vetted by the fire and rescue senior policy group or volunteers was a big point of discussion, especially since no one present knew how it had been compiled. After much discussion, the board and first responders came to an agreement that a committee would be set up with the goal of mining and evaluating data on a regular basis and providing it to the companies so they could vet it as well. This committee will have representatives from fire and EMS as well as 911 communications.
CAD system The current CAD system, which has been in use for less than a year, was a huge point of discussion and covered several topics. Included in the discussion about data was how calls are entered into the system. Taylor Goodman with Company 2 said there has to be some responsibility on the first responders. If they don’t enter a call when they are on shift – say they respond in the middle of the night and immediately return home or to the station to sleep – then it falls to the people on the next shift, and they might not know everything that happened to enter a call accurately. How this data is reported referred not only to calls that units answer and finish but ones that are canceled mid route, for example. Another point within this discussion was the “no response� figures, where a station is marked as not responding at all to a call. Warner agreed this term needs to be better defined and used accurately. Still another point was how the CAD system is currently set up to dispatch calls. This was another topic that had multiple layers. First responders have taken issue with the types of calls they now respond to, which are based on standards set by the operating medical doctor and have veered away from the original directive of “lifethreatening emergencies.� The county operates under her medical license. First responders also raised issue with how the CAD system is set up to dispatch calls, sometimes bypassing a closer station because another station that is further away is marked as staffed. This brought up questions of how the system is programmed and if that needs to be adjusted.
Rules and regulations
The discussion about rules and regulations didn’t get into too many specific problems with policies. The general consensus seemed to be to start re-evaluating the ones on the books to see which ones have been hindrances to personnel and which are working fine. Floyd Greene pointed out that count ordinance says rules and regulations shall be vetted to the senior policy group. That has happened at times and at other times it has not, he said. One specific rule Nordvig did bring up was the one that said contract EMTs who work in Powhatan cannot volunteer here. Several people pointed out this re-
quirement was put in the request for proposal (RFP) when the county started looking for contract workers. Goodman talked about the training opportunities tied to career progression and how the volunteers were included in developing that policy. This led to a discussion about the classes first responders have to take to progress; how often they are made available to volunteers, and whether volunteers actually take advantage of the opportunities. Volunteer firefighter Joe Moudry said the classes are often not volunteer friendly in terms of when they are offered. Volunteer firefighter Scott Millett said the uniform standard operating procedures need to be adjusted, including certification levels for different positions or apparatus, which has been pointed out to Singer. He vetoed the idea, Millett said.
Fire district tax When it came at the end of the meeting, the fire district tax was the quickest to be addressed. A quick poll of the board revealed no support for the idea of creating a fire district tax, where money set aside for the fire and rescue department would be listed as a separate amount within citizens’ tax bills. Seeing this, Melton, who originally proposed the idea, said the issue was decided.
Moving forward Summing up what was discussed at the meeting, Carson Tucker, District 5, said the tasks the group had set itself going forward was to get the data and protocols straight so the department was mining good data; addressing the rules and regulations that make volunteers less effective, and to establish better goals for enhanced service throughout the county. One of the first responders also asked about how the discussion tonight would translate into the budget. Nordvig went over the staffing requests made by Companies 2 and 4: each asked to go from having a paid 12-hour firefighter shift on Monday to Friday to covering the position 24 hours a day, 365 days a week. Subtracting what is already budgeted for the existing shift, this would mean an additional cost of $431,774 for all six firefighters and their gear. The Powhatan Volunteer Rescue Squad had requested the county pay for an additional Advanced Life Support (ALS) medic unit to work its night shift for 12 hours Monday to Thursday. This is an additional cost of $180,000, but it was already included in the county administrator’s proposed budget. Melton pointed out the data group needs to look at if those new positions are enough to meet the service needs of the county. He reiterated the county spends $1.5 million on fire and rescue and thanked the volunteers for making that possible. At the same time, Powhatan’s citizens deserve good response times, he said. Warner was asked about a timeframe to work on making these changes but said he was not comfortable with immediately giving an answer. He asked for a few days to make some plans and he would get that information back to Voorhees to share with the board. The meeting ended on a positive note with thanks to the volunteers for their time and service and appreciation from the volunteers to the paid staff who work alongside them.

Signing day highlights students on different path By Laura McFarland News Editor
A
t an early age, I knew I was going to college. The career I thought to pursue changed from lawyer to journalist after joining my high school newspaper and realizing how much I enjoyed it, but that was just a shifting of majors. Even as I was sending out applications and deciding what schools we could afford, there was never a doubt that was the right path for me. Neither of my sisters earned a college degree. One entered the U.S. Army straight out of high school and served for several years before going into the workforce, and the other went into the workforce pretty soon after graduating. We all followed paths that have taken us to different places, careers, and salaries. They are different, but none of the paths we chose are lesser than the others. They were just the paths we chose. I was thinking about that last week after attending Powhatan High School’s first Career and Technical Education (CTE) Signing Day. PHS was one of 300 schools around the country to
participate in National Signing Day 2019, sponsored by SkillsUSA and Klein Tools. The event was designed to have graduating seniors who are completing certain CTE courses sign "letters of intent" for a job offer, apprenticeship or advanced technical training. At PHS, 11 young men officially signed on with companies to continue their training as electricians and carpenters. That is 11 young men who know that after they walk across the stage and receive their diploma in June a job is waiting for them. With the 10 electricity students, they can look forward to a four-year apprenticeship with the companies that hired them. The carpentry student will surely be learning from the experienced carpenters in the company in which he will now work to further develop his skills. When the school notified me about this event, the idea sounded fantastic. Learning a skilled trade is a wonderful accomplishment and deserves to be celebrated. Electricity/carpentry teacher Mike Payne did right by his students in applying to participate in this event and then putting it together so well. He not only showcased the hard work of his students but strengthened
bonds with the business community hiring these talented young men. Whether or not the national event continues, this seems like a great tradition to start at Powhatan High School, which has a thriving CTE program. In addition to electricity and carpentry, the CTE program incorporates: cosmetology, engineering, agriculture fabrication, horticulture, small animal, culinary arts, health sciences, JROTC, and business and information technology. Cosmetology students take a state licensure test to certify they are ready for the workforce, and, in the summer after graduation, the health sciences students take a test for state licensure as a certified nursing assistant. Both can be employed in their fields soon after high school. College can be a great path for some students, but so too can the military, trade schools, a gap year, or directly entering the workforce. Life is full of different paths. Kudos to the school district for celebrating its participation in the signing day and with the many other ways they celebrate students and who they are.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Leadership in past consistently showed support of housing diversity Dear Editor, As we continue to work on the new comprehensive plan, the resistance to diversity of housing surprises me on two fronts. On the one hand, we have a bright line of sight from the Code of Virginia, through this board’s Vision and Strategic Initiatives, then through the 2010 Comprehensive Plan and the proposed 2019 Comprehensive Plan, all supporting the idea of housing diversity. Let’s look at each of these: Code of Virginia The Code is Virginia’s law of the land. Section 15.2-2223 describes what a Comprehensive Plan should cover. Subsection “D” includes this statement: “The comprehensive plan shall [not “should”; my note] include the designation of areas and implementation of measures for the construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of affordable housing [emphasis added; “affordable housing” is defined in 15.2-2201], which is sufficient to meet the current and future needs of residents of all levels of income . . . while considering the current and future needs of the planning district. . . .” (We have historically used this last reference —“to the planning district” in which Powhatan is situated to argue that since these kinds of homes are available elsewhere in central Virginia, we in Powhatan can avoid carrying our fair share . . . “Let Chesterfield or Henrico or Hanover provide the housing.”) The Comprehensive Plan In the current plan, Chapter 3 (p.19), we have a vision statement about our people being able to work, live, play, shop, and learn without leaving the county. We speak of a friendly and safe place to live. We talk about mixed residential and business uses along Route 60 and 711 east of 288. We speak of mixed-use clusters providing diverse housing to complement existing single-family homes. Further into the comprehensive plan, we come to Goals (p.20), one of which says we will have a range of housing providing living opportunities for Powhatan County residents at all stages of their lives. In Chapter 5 (Housing), we acknowledge the challenge we face to maintain housing affordability because of the price of land and construction costs. We speak of the subdivision ordinance and the zoning ordinance providing opportunities for denser
housing. We list possible tools to help with this: smaller lots, attached housing, multifamily rental options. We have a specific Objective (p.32) that we will pursue diversity of housing types. Continuing: in Chapter 8 (Land Use and Community Character), we find the zoning classification Village Residential (p.77), which speaks to apartments, condos, townhouses. We have Village Center (p.88) that speaks to attached townhouses, multi-family residential in neighborhood patterns, and vertical mixed-use. This plan has been in effect for 19 years and the proposed new comprehensive plan is not substantially different in this regard. Has anyone even read either comprehensive plan? Have we been living a lie? Let’s move further along the bright line and switch over to the board’s Vision and Strategic Initiatives. Here we find this statement: “government exists to provide an attainable quality of life for a diverse citizenry.” The board held a retreat in December of 2017 in which we chose to identify a small number of critical priorities, specifically: (1) education; (2) broadband; (3) quality services (fire/rescue/sheriff, library, recreational facilities [ballfields, etc.]); and (4) diversity in housing choices. These were chosen for special focus and, not incidentally, as our expectations for the county administrator to pursue with vigor. Let’s move along our path of connectivity to the National Citizen Survey where we find on p.13 that 65 percent of residents tell us that providing a greater variety of housing is “essential or somewhat important.” Thus we can see a consistent message about Powhatan’s intention to make available housing to help house all segments of our neighbors, regardless of socioeconomic status and in full recognition of multiple groups and individuals who want to live here or continue to live here—seniors downsizing; young folks just starting out; those who love Powhatan but can’t or don’t want to maintain a house and grounds; and those in our private or public sectors who just don’t earn enough yet to be able to afford a stand-alone home on 2, or 5, or 10 acres. Having a few, prescribed, specifically designated areas on the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map is a careful, limited, not-the-end-of-the-world choice we can offer to our fellow residents who

have slightly different housing wishes or expectations than those of us who live in single-family homes. I said in sentence 1 above that two things have surprised me. The first was the dismissal of all the work and codifications of our intentions over these 19 years, despite all the foregoing plans, laws, and well-publicized intentions in our planning and visioning documents, painstakingly crafted and vetted. The second surprise has been the vehement refusal of those who oppose housing diversity to even consider our individual and community moral responsibility to make room for and to welcome warmly those who wish to live here differently than the majority. The unkindness of comments, the not-so-thinly-veiled contempt, the choice of words, the viciousness of arguments against recognizing the humanity of our neighbors (and the silence of those who know better)—all make me despair of the goodness I have always felt in the sinews of Powhatan. To speak on the record about “rape” and the “throat cutting” we might expect if we allow these kinds of homes is unconscionable. The stridency of “Not in my County!”, and “We don’t want you here!” saddens me. I was appalled to hear some of my friends and fellow-residents vilify those who (for financial or other reasons) want to savor Powhatan’s peace and richness but need other forms of roofs over their heads. I am deeply offended by some of us calling others of us “ants” or “you know, THOSE kind of people.” To demonize these our neighbors as lazy, unworthy and unwanted, even dangerous, chills me. To go down this path is classic identification of “the Other”, which murders souls, poisons community, divides us into hostile camps, and justifies second-class citizenship. For those of us in positions of responsibility who incite fear, anger, and aggressive behaviors, there is only shame. Since before the February 26, 2018, board of supervisors’ meeting meltdown, we have convulsed ourselves as a community over the idea of diversity of housing. Shouldn’t we rather apply our considerable talents to solving problems and helping one another live the most beautiful lives possible? Together. Carson Tucker Powhatan County

pleted an additional 765 cleanings and fluoride treatments. Also during the trip, a ministry team handed out 201 Bibles and shoe boxes filled with toys, toothbrushes, and shoes, and 54 children accepted Christ as their savior. The principal of the school was so excited because she wanted to start a Bible study but needed Bibles for the children and teachers. A construction team also played an important role in the trip by putting a new roof on the kindergarten school and adding new electrical and lighting. The Powhatan Dental Outreach Foundation, which raises money to help children receive free dental care in the U.S. and abroad, will hold a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, May 20 at Four Seasons Restaurant in Powhatan. Funds raised will help to build a children’s clinic in Powhatan to offer free dental care to children in the region. Cost is $15 per plate at the door.

KINDNESS

As part of the Powhatan Middle School PTO’s Kindness Counts campaign, the group held a service opportunity after school on May 3. A few dozen participants did service acts such as packing blessings bags, making cards, and making dog beds to be donated.

Cracken. The acts the students chose to do ranged from being mindful in everyday opportunities to helping one another to more intentional, larger efforts. Whatever they chose was important and exactly what organizers hoped to see, she said. “Our PTO is committed to building a sense of community within our school and to supporting the school’s efforts to encourage responsible, respectful and kind behavior, McCracken said. “This campaign was created to encourage students to perform authentic, genuine acts of kindness at school, home and in the community, and to recognize and reward the kids’ positive choices. Our hope is that they will remember Kindness Counts long after the campaign ends.” A few examples of what students chose to do include: making and delivering a basket of treats to a fire station; cleaning out their family’s playroom for a yard sale and donating $50 of the profits to Richmond Animal League; helping a neighbor clean up a chicken pen; participating in the Color Run at Powhatan High School; helping a friend with homework; bringing cookies for friends to share, and helping a neighbor with his lawn mower. As a part of this effort, on Friday, May 3, the PMS PTO invited all students, teachers and interested parents to stay after school to participate in a number of service projects, including: sorting and organizing
items being collected for the community (peanut butter for Backpacks of Love, socks for soldiers, etc.); making fleece tieblankets/beds for the Pow-
hatan Animal Shelter and a children’s hospital; packing more than 100 blessing bags that will be distributed in the community; making cards for soldiers;

and staff commented on how nice it was to spend time with students outside of the classroom, and the students who attended really enjoyed the activities,
McCracken said. “As a result of the success of this event, we’re planning to implement quarterly service projects next school year,” she said. More than half of the students have chosen to participate in the campaign and are keeping tabs of their acts on their kindness trackers, she said. To make the campaign even more intriguing to students, the PTO planned a little competition. The grade level with the most completed acts of kindness was set to duct tape Dr. Samantha Martin, principal, to the wall on Friday, May 10. “The Kindness Counts campaign and community service afternoon was a wonderful way for students to give back to the community. It was a wonderful collaboration between parents, teachers, and students. We look forward to holding more of these events during the school year,” Martin said. Prizes will be awarded to the students as the individual and grade level with the most acts during the campaign. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

OWHATAN – After leading Benedictine Basketball to a winning 25-7 season in 2013-14, Ryan Marable got to take a step back from the high school level and observe the coaching methods that were in motion around him. “When you have your own team, you don’t always have an opportunity to just sit back and watch other coaches and watch other teams play,” he said. “I’m excited to really implement some new things, and I think I’m a better coach because of it.” He’s taking what he learned to Powhatan High School as the new head coach of the boys’ varsity basketball team. “Powhatan in general I think is a great school system,” Marable said; when he interviewed with Powhatan High School principal Dr. Mike Massa and athletic director Tim Llewellyn, he “just saw that they cared about sports, they cared about their school.” He’s also familiar with his fellow coaches from different places and times.

Boys Track wins middle school conference meet Staff Report POWHATAN – In its 20th year, the perennially strong middle school track and field team saw the boys win the Southside Conference meet - their 5th title overall in the meet - and the girls finish 3rd. The Powhatan boys bested runner-up Nottoway 60-58. Head coach and sprinters/ jumpers coach Bill Wasosky, who’s coached the middle school track team for 19 of those 20 years, praised this year’s boys and girls teams as “probably the hardest-working group we’ve ever worked with.� He also praised the hard work of Powhatan throw-

BSH Soccer wins 3-1 in OT
Defense powers Indians Softball to sweep
By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Opposing Kenston Forest forced overtime on a tying goal inside the final 3 minutes of regulation. Blessed Sacrament Huguenot answered: Scoring twice across the collective 10 minutes of OT, the Knights on May 6 captured a 3-1 thriller over the Kavaliers in the opening round of the playoffs. “That was a heck of a game – they’ve improved a lot, even since we played them 2-3 weeks ago,� BSH head coach Patrick Winterrowd said of Kenston Forest. “That was pretty impressive.� Team captain James Hawkins, with a hammering kick, launched a cannonball of a shot on past the goalie and into the
By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Pitchers Sarah English and Ellie Barton and their teammates behind them held the Flying Flucos to 1 hit and 2 batters over the minimum in a 6-0 shutout triumph for the Indians. Powhatan head coach Marie Crump noted that the defense played extremely well; shortstop Maddy Hayden delivered seven 6-3 plays and Lindsey Elam in right field came up to get the ball on a big play. Barton stepped into the circle in the seventh inning and added one of three consecutive plays to first baseman Rileigh De Weese for the 3-up, 3-down NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY frame.

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Robbie Kurtz racked up 4 RBIs and 3 hits, Will Carter struck out 8 batters in a complete-game 2-hitter and hosting Blessed Sacrament Huguenot routed Amelia Academy 10-1 to capture a dominant first-round victory in the conference playoffs on May 6. “We really needed this from a confidence level after taking a hard loss last game – really needed the confidence going into Southampton,� said Carter, who went the distance for the pitching victory. BSH head coach James Poore called Monday’s triumph “a huge accomplishment,� especially for the seniors who had been in the program, as it marked the first time that the Knights had won 10 games since 2012. “It’s the last time that they’ll be here on this field,� Poore said of his seniors. “It’s good for them.� Amelia Academy was coming off a huge 9-8 victory over Tidewater Academy, the top team in the conference, but the Knights jumped out to a 2-0 lead in their first inning at-bat and swelled their advantage to 6-0 after three frames. The visitors also had a hard time answering Carter’s ability to mix up locations with the fastball inside and out, as well as his breaking ball. “I was just trusting my pitches – knowing what I needed to throw when, knowing, from last time I played this team, knowing what I needed to throw,� he said. Amelia only managed to hit two singles off of Carter in the fourth inning – one to get on base and the other to drive in the first runner. Carter faced 3 over the minimum with a 2-hit, 1-run, 0-walk statline.

netting early in the first half for a 1-0 lead. The Knights held that advantage until the closing moments of regulation, but the visiting Kavaliers answered in the nick of time to knot up the game. But just like he did near the start of the game, Hawkins came up big, landing the go-ahead goal. His teammate Michael Timmons added an insurance tally at the tail-end of the game. Hawkins and Timmons played all 90 minutes; Timmons did so through cramping, and Hawkins – or “Ironman� according to his coach – anchored both the offensive and defensive ends of the field. Ultimately, BSH’s journey in the regional playoffs came to an end on a 4-0 loss to Isle of Wight Academy.

“Being able to move him from behind the plate to the mound has just paid dividends,â€? Poore said of Carter. “He’s mentally tough, he throws strikes and – I mean, he’s a pitcher. He’s always around the strike zone, he’s a competitor and when you have that, anytime he goes out – because he’s such a gamer and a competitor – he gives us a chance to win.â€? For Carter, the key to going the distance was “just knowing to be able to pace yourself and being able to get quick and efficient outs.â€? He wasn’t alone, as his infielders locked down the diamond and center fielder Mace Brindley reeled in 4 flyouts. “I love pitching to contact and‌really had the defense behind me,â€? Carter said. “Mace played a great game out there, Will gave us some strikes,â€? said Kurtz, who at shortstop added a flyout and a pair of 6-3 plays to his big day at-bat. “Just made the easy plays, which you’ve got to do.â€? Kurtz in his first plate appearance plated Brindley for the first run of the day; he never missed from there, rocking a 2-run triple in the 2nd inning, a single in the 4th and an RBI single in the 6th. The junior multisport standout said he was “just getting good pitches to hit‌knowing which ones to hit and just seeing the ball well and putting a good swingâ€? on the ball. Senior Noa Hasty also launched a couple of fireballs, rolling out a 2-for-3 batting day on a triple, a double and two runs scored following both of his big hits. Dawson and Brindley scored 3 runs apiece and Dawson batted 2-for-4 with an RBI. Carter and Roudabush each added 2 RBIs at the plate. BSH took a VCC semifinals loss to Southampton Academy, 7-2; the regular season game originally rescheduled to Saturday against Blue Ridge School was cancelled. age 10-0, Kim defeated Sarah White 10-3, Adams outdueled Anja Bajs 11-9, Haddix defeated Saige Patchett 10-3 and Balzer battled in a 10-5 loss to Lydiah Napier.

son District opponents in Western Albemarle, 14-4, and Monticello, 17-6. “Fluvanna, we did an amazing job, very happy with their play,” Powhatan Girls Lacrosse head coach Laura Camp said. “Western is an amazing team – they play well, they play with good character and they’re well-coached. Camp praised the way her team played against the Mustangs. “This Monticello game, in the past, we’ve lost 20-1 the last 2 years, and the fact that we were within 4 at halftime tells me that our girls have improved so much,” Camp said. “The fact that we played our game and we played at the highest level we could the entire game tells me that, not only have we improved, but the kids have grown as individuals as well.” She added that her team “played 100 percent through the entire game.” “We played smart, we played hard, we played fast,” Camp said, “and I think we gave them more of a competition than they thought they were going to get today, so that really makes me happy.” Hailey Camp led Powhatan in the May 10 game with 3 goals. “Hailey had great shot placement today,” Coach Camp said. “She went in with confidence and found the net; scoring goals against these really high-level
goalies is a tough job and our girls did it today, so I couldn’t be happier.” Brittany Samuels, Michala Taylor and Riley Little chipped in 1 goal apiece for the Indians. Emily Stephenson made the gamut of saves, including catching a couple of lasers fired off by players including Josie Mallory. Stephenson racked up 21 saves on the evening. “Emily was unstoppable today,” Coach Camp said. “Emily did a fantastic job, I’m happy for her, I’m happy with her effort and the whole team’s effort.” The previous week, Powhatan on May 3 celebrated the contributions of seniors Anna Grace Causey, Ashley Van Buskirk, Ellie Sullivan, Mary Kate Roberts, Nailah-Bena Chambers and Moriah Stanley – all of whom are Powhatan Girls Lacrosse’s first four-year varsity players. “The seniors bring such an energy to our team and we’re going to miss them so much next year,” Camp said. “They have great leadership, they’ve got great character – they’re just really awesome people and I’m proud of them.” Powhatan (7-4) finishes the regular season at Albemarle on Tuesday, May 14 and at Clover Hill on Wednesday, May 15. Both games are at 6 p.m. “I hope we can bring our level of play next week like we did this week to Albemarle,” Camp said, “because I think if we do, then we have a chance of winning.”

In doubles, Brendan Pfab and Lindhjem defeated Chow and Buglia 8-4 and Steinruck and Jacob Pfab defeated Ruffa and Lansburg 8-4. Powhatan won both its no. 6 singles and no. 3 doubles matches by default. Against Louisa, in singles, Jacob Pfab routed Garrett Corker 8-2, Lindjhem routed Tyler Yeatts 8-1, Wojcicki edged past Jason Brooks 8-6,
Lions. On May 9, Joshua McKee scored a goal and Palmore made 8 saves in Powhatan’s 2-1 loss to Monticello. “This week’s games against Albemarle and Orange are going to be very tough as we definitely won’t have some key players available for these games,” Cristian said. “I’d
typically like to see our play drastically improve the week before we head into Regionals, but at this point I’ll take a healthy roster going into Regionals and be very happy.” He added of his players: “These boys have shown that they have the heart, grit and ability to have success against anyone.”
Washburn edged past Corey Toews 8-6, Louisa’s Nathan Gramling edged past Adkins 8-6 and Alan Swasey edged out Cade Van Buskirk 9-8. In doubles, Pfab and Lindhjem edged past Corker and Gramling 8-6, Adkins and Wojcicki defeated Yeatts and Swasey 8-4 and Washburn and Wheat Fralin defeated Gage Parrott and Chase Miller 8-3. Powhatan’s only team loss of the week was an 8-1 setback to Hanover. Jacob Pfab won in no. 2 singles,
10-5 over Ethan Belote. The Indians on May 10 celebrated the contributions of their seniors to the Powhatan Boys Tennis program over the seasons in their Senior Night match against Hanover. Seniors honored were Cole Vonderharr, Jeremy Dodd, Henry Adkins, John Varel, Ben Wojcicki, Connor Lindhjem and Brendan Pfab. Powhatan Boys Tennis hosted Louisa in the first round of regionals on Monday, May 13.

and went to Longwood University with Powhatan Wrestling head coach Jonathan Tanaka. “I know what type of people are there [at Powhatan]: they care about kids, they’re hard-working and they’re going to demand the right things out of kids,” Marable said, adding that he’s joining a PHS athletic department “where I have the trust of the other coaches and they have the trust of me to work together for the kids.” Marable grew up in Chesterfield and played basketball all through middle school and into high school. In 10th grade, he transferred to Huguenot Academy and played there when it merged with Belmead to become Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. After graduating in 2000, Marable took his basketball career to the collegiate level at Longwood University and then, following his graduation from college in 2004, decided to go the teaching and coaching route. He started at Caroline Middle School before moving over to his native Chesterfield County, where he’s been working ever since. His coaching career has seen him assist with the Cosby and L.C. Bird basketball teams for one year each, as well as with Benedictine’s team for two years. He had a successful year in the role of head coach with the Cadets for a year, but then, having two daughters, decided to go back to the middle school level. He started his own company called Local Legends, through which he’s done basketball camps for kids during the summer. Marable orchestrates and runs the camps and the teams; the players, whom he used to coach, and who played at the college and pro levels – Benedictine and University of Maryland alum, Powhatan resident and G League player L.G. Gill among them – come in to work with the campers as a means of giving back to the kids – as well as giving them role models to look up to and look forward to during the summer. From his coaching experiences, Marable observed that the successful teams of which he was a part had student-athletes who played for each other, defended really well and were able to compete at a high level. “The best teams that we had, they’re just a bunch of gym rats who like to be in the gym, like to be working on their games, weren’t afraid to be told what they needed to work on to be better and then were able to play the game the way it’s supposed to be played,” Marable said, “and just getting after it really and being ultimate teammates and competitors.” Per Marable’s coaching philosophy, basketball is a simple game. “We as coaches and as players complicate it,” he said, “but if you can really maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses throughout the year, you have a chance to win. “I watch a lot of games that, the same mistakes that my middle school teams make, I see the NBA players make,” Marable said, “so if you can minimize

those mistakes and then just get a pure joy out of competing and being able to really care about the little things, those things translate, and doing the little things – doing the hard things that other teams don’t want to do that might not be flashy – that’s what really translates.” Marable had the chance to meet with his basketball players on May 2, and former longtime Powhatan head coach Steve Washburn, he added, was great about getting him film and telling him about his returners. “I think there’s a lot of potential there – I loved how hard they played,” Marable said. “Powhatan County is a county where football, basketball, baseball, you can always rely on the kids to compete…I’m looking forward to that: the ability to compete. I don’t have to get them to play hard. They already know how to play hard.” Marable’s offseason regiment will feature summer workouts, and he’s looking to have the JV and varsity teams go to a team camp at the University of Richmond. He’s also going to try to get some of his players to play for Coach Mike Henderson’s Powhatan Football team in the fall. “I think it’s important for a one-highschool town, for kids, especially athletes, to play multiple sports,” Marable said. “I’m going to encourage those kids to get on the football field and help Powhatan win some games and I know they can learn a lot; I know as a college basketball player, I learned a lot…about myself and about mental and physical toughness from Coach Henderson, so I want our guys out there on Friday Nights putting on the Powhatan jersey and then not worrying so much about basketball until basketball season, except for their own individual development.” Marable would like his players to come out to the Local Legends camps if they can because he believes that, whether the varsity players are working for him or just at the camps observing, or if the JV players are participating: “They’ll learn a lot about what I’m about and my philosophies and learn it from not only me, but my former players as well.” If he has enough players who aren’t playing football, he will look at the possibility of competing in a Fall League – if there’s one available – prior to the upcoming 2019-20 VHSL winter basketball season, which, in Marable’s words, will “be here before you know it.” And he’s excited about the opportunity. “It’s going to be fun to test myself and for these kids to test themselves

POWHATAN’S PAPER OF RECORD
I ASK FOR THIS: Graham T. Jennings, Jr. (VSB # 18542) Counsel for Plaintiff
General Reassessment Information Representatives from Wampler Eanes Appraisal Service are in the process of visiting each parcel of property located in Powhatan County for the purpose of general real estate reassessment effective for tax year 2020. During this process, assessors will be viewing and verifying physical characteristics of all properties and improvements. You may see the Wampler Eanes Appraisal Services vehicles with the County Seal on the door riding through your neighborhood. If they feel they need further review, the property may be identified for a return inspection. As always, the County has requested that all personnel associated with Wampler Eanes wear a picture ID that will be clearly visible. All vehicles will have County Seals displayed on the sides of the vehicle. If you have additional questions about the reassessment process, please call (804) 598-5799 or (804) 598-5616 to speak with the Commissioner of the Revenue Office.
