Kidder, an English and French teacher, was chosen for the honor for the upper school (sixth through 12th grades). Flowers, a fifth-grade teacher, was selected by her peers to showcase the lower school (pre-kindergarten through fifth grade). Among BSH employees, this peer-selected honor is a very serious decision voted on by all employees, said Paula Ledbetter, head of school.

Relay for Life set for June 1 Contributed Report Mark your calendar for Powhatan's Annual Relay for Life and join the 21 teams that will be walking in the Powhatan High School gym in the fight against cancer. The event will be held from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 1 in the gym. The local chapter’s donation goal for this year is $70,000.

Organizers are looking forward to having a variety of good food and entertainment available for everyone to enjoy. Teams will have individual fundraisers at their respective “campsites” to include sweets, opportunities to win gift baskets, gift cards, handmade prayer beads, and afghans. Ginny Broughton and her crew will

have a table where luminaries can be purchased in honor or in memory of friends and family who have battled cancer. The organizers’ goal is to have 1,000 of these beautiful Lights of Hope to illuminate the gym for the 8 p.m. Luminaria Ceremony. Prior to this ceremony, participants will honor all cancer survivors as they walk their Survivor’s Lap at 7:30 p.m. Survivors can register in advance at www.relayforlife.org/powhatan or at the event and will receive a complimentary survivor tshirt.

Perhaps one of the most moving parts of Relay, the closing ceremony, will begin at 8:30 p.m. The imagery of this presentation by Gene Walton is a beautiful and touching picture of why we Relay. Organizers look forward to having a full gym on Relay Day. Come and help us Send Cancer Out to Sea!

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors once again seems to have the end in sight to finish its update of the 2010 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan, but there is still room for uncertainty. The comprehensive plan was a discussion item at the board’s meeting on Monday, May 20 as planning director Andrew Pompei asked the supervisors to identify any changes they wanted to make to the current draft. The goal was to update the document once more and then post it online for county residents to see before another round of public meetings is held to gather input. The board had adopted a suggested schedule on May 9 that would see discussions being held in May and June and potential public hearings on June 24 and July 29, at which time the comprehensive plan might be adopted. The schedule also includes holding two public meetings where residents can ask questions and provide feedback on the document. The meetings are at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 5 at Powhatan County Public Libary, 2270 Mann Road, and at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11 at Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department, 1959 Urbine Road. All are invited to attend. The current long-range comprehensive plan was adopted on July 12, 2010, and the Powhatan County Planning Commission began reviewing it in fall 2016 as part of the regular five-year review.

PLAN Continued from pg. 1

year of work, the planning commission presented its draft update to the supervisors on Dec. 5, 2017. Since then, it has seemed to be at varying degrees of closeness of being adopted as the board reviewed and debated changes throughout 2018 and the first part of 2019. One hurdle to the comp plan – the discussion about the Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning district’s lack of inclusion in the comprehensive plan – was put to rest when the board voted 3-2 in favor of eliminating the controversial zoning district at its meeting on April 24. Based on their discussion at recent board meetings, one of the last big hurdles seemed to be the Future Land Use Map included in the comprehensive plan. A great deal of work was done on the map by a three-member workgroup to severely cut back on the acreage in the county where higher density uses were allowed and instead focus on the desire to preserve open spaces. That discussion was once again at the forefront at the May 9 meeting as the supervisors spent a little more than an hour getting into the nitty gritty of the map to discuss the designations for specific parcels. The discussion didn’t always go smoothly as supervisors debated how even these individual sections of the map could

have an impact on the growth of the county, but the board made decisions on each suggested change. After the decisions were made about the comprehensive plan, the board handled a few cases that acted as reminders of how the plan impacts their decisions.

Individual changes The board had a good discussion on several proposed changes to individual parcels on the future land use map and which would be best to achieve the commercial opportunities, housing densities and other considerations they wanted to address. All of the votes they took were to make changes to the map before it is put out to the public, not to adopt a final version of the map with these changes. The individual properties they decided on included: Angie Cabell, who represents District 3, made a suggestion to adopt a version of the Future Land Use Map changing two areas north of Route 60 near the Village Center from Rural Residential (RR) to Commerce Center. These parcels can be seen on the third map on page 75 of the board’s May 9 board packet. The board adopted these changes unanimously. Bill Melton, District 4, made a motion to approve a change to the same map that would

change a large section of land where Route 60 and Old Buckingham Road meet from Village Center (VC) and Commerce Center (CC) to Village Residential Planned Development (VR-PD), which has commercial aspects incorporated as part of a master plan area. That motion passed 3-2 with Cabell, Melton and Carson Tucker, District 5, voting for it and Larry Nordvig, District 2, and David Williams, District 1, against it. Melton made a motion to withdraw a suggested change, meaning a 34.4-acre tax parcel in the Route 60 Corridor East map will remain as CC instead of being changed to VR. This motion passed unanimously. This is represented by the second map on page 77 of the board packet. Melton also referenced a map on page 119 of the January draft of the comprehensive plan. It had a parcel currently designated as Village Center (VC) on the far side of the map along the county line. He suggested going to VRPD. The change would reduce the number of units per acre allowed for the draft of the map from January 2019, but Williams was concerned it would still allow four units per acre. He raised issues with adding more residential to the county and putting a strain on county resources, especially its water capacity. Nordvig expounded on this theme, talking about

overloading the county’s resources. He also raised issue with what he described as “picking favorites” and making decisions based on proposed projects instead of making development come into line with the county vision and comprehensive plan. Melton replied, talking about the huge reduction the work group committee made in the Village Center designation and said his proposal does encourage and have commercial development. After more discussion, this change also passed in a 3-2 vote with Williams and Nordvig voting against it. Nordvig made a motion to have piece of property designated as Village Center revert back to Economic Opportunity to provide more of a buffer for the Holly Hills neighborhood. This motion passed unanimously. Williams suggested changing a large parcel south of Route 60 and east of Stavemill Road from VC to CC. The board approved this 4-1 without discussion with only Melton voting against it.

a 45-acre parcel. Each lot would be at least 10 acres in area. While the private road request is in conformance with county requirements, the underlying land use is not in conformance with the current comprehensive plan, so staff recommended denial of the project, Pompei said. Woody Cofer, speaking on behalf of the developer, Michael Potter, pointed out that this private road would mean one additional access point on Old Buckingham Road. If the board didn’t approve that plan, he could make cuts to create five parcels and four additional entrances to the road, which they wanted to avoid. He said the cost of a state maintained road was too much to go that route. The board visibly wrestled with the decision given what they described as Potter’s history of quality development in the county, especially in the Village area. Melton said he would feel hypocritical approving a project that doesn’t fit the comprehensive plan, especially given the discussion they just had about it. Cabell said that while it may not be in keeping with the comprehensive plan, “it does matter that this applicant has probably done more to make this a village area

than anybody in this county.” In a 4-1 vote to recommend denial of the project, she was the only one who voted against the denial. The second case the board heard was a request for a conditional use permit (CUP) for William C. Davis to permit a commercial landscaping operation within the Commerce Center (CC) zoning district at 1331 Page Road. Staff recommended approval of the project, which is compatible with surrounding development and the 2010 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan. This project would allow Arborscapes, which is currently located at 1710 Douthit Court, to expand its operations and remain in the county. The board did not have an issue with the CUP since they said it conformed with the comp plan. They did have many questions about a waiver Davis requested for access management standards. The project will also require a waiver from VDOT. The board approved the CUP request unanimously but asked Davis to work with a neighbor to see about sharing an entrance or work with the county during the site plan process to figure out a better solution.

The concept behind The Helping Hands Award is anyone (student, parent, colleague or supervisor) can nominate any Powhatan County Public Schools staff member who is inspiring, empowering, or innovating to receive recognition. Prior to spring break, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, and other members of the district leadership team surprised four staff members during their workday to inform them they were nominated and selected to be the first Helping Hands Award Winners and were given a poster of recognition to display in their classroom or work location and a gift card donated by corporate sponsors. The following staff are the April 2019 Helping Hands Award winners and were recognized at the April 16 meeting of the Powhatan County School Board: Libby Acampora, from left, (Inspiring); Liz McCrory (Inspiring); Lt.

yond their classroom duties to make sure all students succeed. Both Kidder and Flowers exemplify those qualities, Ledbetter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so blessed to have both of them here. They could teach anywhere and impact students lives anywhere, so we are so lucky to have them,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Donna Kidder Kidder is currently in her fourth year teaching at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. Before this school year, she focused on teaching English for eighth through 12th grades. But in the fall, she gave up some of those classes so she could teach French to pre-K through seventh-grade students. She is still teaching eight, 11th and 12th-grade English classes. While attending Longwood College, Kidder said she was never in doubt that she wanted to be a teacher. Her only KIDDER decisions were to choose the grades and subjects she wanted to teach. Throughout her career, she has worked in public schools in Powhatan, Cumberland and Chesterfield counties as well as Benedictine High School. She said she took issue with how much public schools had to teach to a test. So when she started work at BSH and felt like she had more creative freedom, she said her joy in teaching was rejuvenated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I pull up into the parking lot

here, I am excited for the day every day. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get in and see my kids and teach things that I love and just become part of the BSH world,â&#x20AC;? she said. Kidder said she loves literature and helping her students find connections to the selections they read through a certain character, theme or idea to make it more personal for the students. The educator double majored in college in English and French, so it has been refreshing this year to take on the elective course of teaching French to the younger students, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has been such a blast. Those kids are crazy wonderful. They are so enthusiastic and so excited every day. When you see little 4-year-olds running around singing French songs, that is pretty little wonderful,â&#x20AC;? she said. The announcement about the Teachers of the Year was made at the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual fundraiser, the Beef and Music Festival. But Kidder was sick, so she learned about it the next day on Facebook. She said it was an amazing and humbling experience to be chosen by her peers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was probably one of the most exciting things ever. We have a phenomenal staff here, and to think they would even consider me for such an honor touched my heart in such a way that I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even believe it. When your colleagues say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we admire you and think you do a good job,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; it means everything,â&#x20AC;? Kidder said. Ledbetter described Kidder as caring, loving, and being willing to do anything to help a student succeed. The teacher can often be found working through lunch or after school to help students, and she has developed great relationships with the high school students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She goes above and beyond her teacher role. She is truly a confidant and person of trust for her students. Even after

they graduate, they send her notes and visit her. She really impacts their lives beyond their time at BSH,â&#x20AC;? Ledbetter said.

Kelin Flowers Flowers is in her 11th year of teaching but her second year at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. Her family relocated from Austin, Texas three years ago for her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job, and Flowers, who had been staying home and taking care of their three children, decided to get back into teaching. She found her new home at BSH, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing that separates BSH FLOWERS from anywhere else is just the sense of family. Although I teach fifth grade, I have relationships with students and families all the way from high school to the 2-year-old class,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that her three sons attend BSH. Flowers has known she wanted to be an educator since third grade, when a truly motivating teacher inspired not only her but everyone around her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want to be just like her,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and every day I strive for that,â&#x20AC;? Flowers said. She was influenced again while attending Southwest Texas State University, where the professor of her elementary education class introduced her to a new way of teaching math. Growing up, Flowers said she struggled to understand math, so this new approach was like a light bulb turning on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At that point I realized that it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that I was necessarily bad at math; I just

hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made the connections in a way that he showed me. I vowed to myself I would make that light bulb go on for my students and teach math in a way that made it enjoyable and fun,â&#x20AC;? she said. In addition to filling her classroom with the sounds of chants and songs to help her students learn math, Flowers said she loves teaching language arts and encouraging her students to develop a love of writing and a greater comfort in expressing themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wonderful thing about fifth grade is they are right on the cusp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they are still in elementary school but about to enter middle school. It is a year of them starting to find themselves and starting to establish their own opinions. We really get into some neat conversations,â&#x20AC;? she said. Flowers was present when she was announced as a Teacher of the Year and, like Kidder, said she was honored and humbled. She added that she felt an overwhelming sense of appreciation to be a part of the wonderful group that already had won previously. Ledbetter described Flowers as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;elementary school teacher you want your child to have; her energy and passion for teaching are infectious.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;She works with students where they are and takes them where they need to be and beyond. She truly loves each child as if they were her own,â&#x20AC;? Ledbetter said. Ledbetter said Flowers is especially amazing at teaching math and has helped her students to have above average test scores the last two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come in her class thinking or believing they do not like math and are not good at it. They leave there confident in math and in themselves before going into middle school,â&#x20AC;? Ledbetter said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Atkins-Nelson commended Little for not only the connections she builds with her students and their parents, but her service as a team leader, a member of the principal’s cabinet, and part of the equity and diversity committee. The other Teachers of the Year honored at the dinner were: Catherine Bowles, kindergarten teacher at Pocahontas Elementary – Principal Tom Sulzer said it is not often the kindergarten program is recognized for its impact on a student’s school career, but he was thrilled it was being highlighted through honoring Bowles’ efforts. The educator, who has more than 30 years of experience, sets extremely high expectations for all who enter her classroom – whether they be students, parents, instructional assistants, volunteers, other teachers, or administration. She loves people willing to bring something to the table, and while her classroom is fun to visit, visitors should expect to be put to work helping. Sulzer said she is always entertaining her students; loves visits from former students; sings songs and dances with her children, and sets them “on a trajectory for success in schools.” Jenny Easter, fourth grade language arts inclusion teacher at Powhatan Elementary School – Principal Constance Deal said Easter, who has taught at the elementary level for 11 years, embraces the motto “Connection is Key” and the philosophy that “If I con-

Powhatan County Public Schools recently honored its Teachers of the Year. The five schoolwide winners were, from left, Jenny Easter (Powhatan Elementary); Catherine Bowles (Pocahontas Elementary); Katrisha Little (Flat Rock Elementary); Kristen Bentzen (Powhatan High), and Bill Wasosky (Powhatan Middle School). Little was also named the divisionwide Teacher of the Year.

nect with students, not only will they learn, they will be given proverbial wings with which to fly.” Easter shows a vested interest in each student as an individual and models how to develop close, caring relationships with others. She also builds relationships with her students by having them participate in activities that reach out into the community. She puts students’ needs first; is innovative with her lessons and applies them to the real world, and is always willing to go above and beyond what is expected. Bill Wasosky, math special education teacher and athletic director at Powhatan Middle School – Principal Samantha Martin said she could not think of a better recipient for the new school’s first Teacher of the Year award. She spoke of Wasosky’s

professional investment in the students he teaches and coaches and his efforts to find ways to reach them, inspire them, and help them growth both academically and as future citizens of the world. He demands excellence from his students and pushes them to own their accomplishments. He stays after school with students who need extra help; carries coaching theories into the classroom, and cheers and supports his students as they reach goals and understanding of content. He is always willing to help fellow colleagues and is a leader at the middle school. Kristen Bentzen, science department chair at Powhatan High School – Principal Mike Massa described Bentzen as a true instructional leader and one of those rare

teachers who is the real deal, the total package, imitable, beyond compare, and first class. As department chair, she has modeled how to differentiate instruction for all levels of learners, how to identify a student’s prior knowledge and grow them, and how to establish expectations while forging organic relationships with students. She innovates, encourages, and empowers students and works well with her colleagues as both a “wrangler of strong personalities and a mitigator of acute idiosyncrasies.” When she has an issue, she openly communicates it with data and reasoning to support how the problem impacts students and learning and offers a possible solution for the issue that is sound, equitable, and student-centered, Massa said.

Honoring these retirees is always a bittersweet moment, Jones said, as they celebrate them for their hard work and dedication while wishing they would stay. “We are certainly happy for them and wish them the best in their future endeavors, but it is also a sad moment because we are losing a piece of our institutional knowledge and history that makes us who we are as Powhatan County Public Schools,” Jones said.

Editor grateful for another year of sharing stories By Laura McFarland News Editor

sually around this time of year, I become introspective. When I was hired by Richmond Suburban News to become the news editor for Powhatan Today and Cumberland Today, I started work the day after Memorial Day in 2014. Five years is the longest I have ever been in a job in my relatively young career, so this is still a big milestone for this news editor. I have been thinking for a bit about what I wanted to talk about on this occasion. Sometimes you get so busy with daily life and getting things done that you forget to just take a step back and breathe it all in once in awhile. A big part of my weekly coverage is the meetings – the board of supervisors and school board, and sometimes the planning commission. When I can, I try to attend some business and community meetings as well. I realize that the stories that come out of these meetings aren’t always the most scintillating reading material. Budgets, tax rates, comprehensive plans, and resolutions may seem like tedious things to cover, especially considering how in-depth I write. However, there are two big reasons I continue to do so: Those subjects, as boring as they may some-

times seem, can have a huge impact on residents’ lives, and, quite simply, there needs to be someone watching. Unless hot button issues like apartments or broadband come up, attendance at the board of supervisors meetings tends to be scant. And while the school board can pack in the crowd when there are student and staff recognitions, as soon as they are over, anywhere from 90 to 100 percent of the crowd tends to leave and not listen to the rest of the meeting. So I stay and watch and try to bring Powhatan citizens the information they need to understand what decisions are being made on their behalf. But I also believe in balance, so, as much as those stories need to be told, I like to fill the rest of the news section with a variety of stories that show the diverse happenings of Powhatan County. Since I am not a mother, I am allowed to have favorites, and that is telling people’s stories. In the last year, we have had stories that involved the death or failing health of a loved one – a wife and mother, an old friend – but they rose above that sad reality to become instead stories about human connection and kindness. We’ve had stories of the many good deeds of community, civic, church, and nonprofit organizations. They do so much good not only in Powhatan but else-

L E T T E R TO T H E E D I TO R Affordable housing decisions need facts, not emotions Dear Editor, This letter addresses Mr. Carson Tucker’s letter in the May 15 issue of this paper.

Affordable housing fact or fiction First, Mr. Tucker’s letter is all about emotion, not about facts. Mr. Tucker starts by quoting from the Code of Virginia. There had been a code section that addressed Urban Development Areas for all counties. This section was deleted in 2013. As a result there is no mandate for counties to urbanize. Next, he addressed the code section that defined “affordable housing.” Here is that section in its entirety:

§ 15.2-2201. Definitions As used in this chapter, unless the context requires a different meaning: "Affordable housing" means, as a guideline, housing that is affordable to households with incomes at or below the area median income, provided that the occupant pays no more than thirty percent of his gross income for gross housing costs, including utilities. For the purpose of administering affordable dwelling unit ordinances authorized by this chapter, local governments may establish individual definitions of affordable housing and affordable dwelling units including determination of the appropriate percent of area median income and percent of gross income.” My first comment is that this is a guideline not a mandate. Second, it states “may,” leaving it to the discretion of county leadership to set the standards. Third, taxpayers elect leaders that listen to, plan for, and implement the current and future needs of the county based to a large degree on what taxpayers deem important. With that said, Mr. Tucker references the National Community Survey and his interpretation of

the section on housing. As many know, statistics can be presented to re-enforce any argument. Here is an excerpt from the same report Mr. Tucker references:

National Citizens Survey – Community Livability Report When considering the future of the County, residents placed more value on preserving open space than on housing development. When asked a special interest question regarding the importance of various initiatives to help achieve the community’s vision for the future, nearly 9 in 10 residents felt it was essential or very important for the County to focus on preserving open space and agricultural areas. When considering the need for a greater variety of housing options provided by the private sector, this initiative was given the lowest importance rating of the four listed items with about one-third of residents offering an essential or very important rating; further, 35 percent of respondents felt this initiative was not at all important. The issue of housing is one of economics and what is realistic not emotional. Every county operates on taxes collected from citizens. Some tax money comes from the state, but most come from local residents. Today it’s all too easy to say “I want” or “we need.” What is too often overlooked is how do you pay for it? This question is not politically correct but must be asked. County leadership has the responsibility of answering that question and as such can’t let emotion get in the way. Let’s, for example, look at Powhatan’s school population. With the addition of one (1) proposed housing project of 225 single family and townhouse style homes, an additional 102 children (0.5 per household) are added to the school popu8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

lation. At $11,500 per student, $1,288,000 is added to the annual school budget. Minus real estate tax generated by 225 homes of $495,000 (at an avg. assessment of $250,000) that’s 2.4 cents added to the real estate tax just for schools. Add to that the additional police, fire and rescue, social services support (termed Cost of Community Service) and it quickly adds up. That’s only one project that is currently in the planning stages. Add to this, quality of life issues such as traffic and you can quickly see why there is “push back” from citizens. Is it so important to have a Powhatan address when there are 2,000 apartments and townhomes planned or under construction at Powhatan’s eastern county line in Chesterfield. One more point. Here is an excerpt from the currently proposed Comprehensive Plan Mr. Tucker references: Most of the county does not have infrastructure necessary to support single-family homes on smaller lots or multi-family development. Larger lots are necessary to accommodate an on-site septic system and well, making townhouses, duplexes, and other higherdensity housing options infeasible without public utilities. As an alternative, this plan and revisions to the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances are creating opportunities for denser residential development in villages where adequate infrastructure exists or is planned. Here the operative word is “villages” (ie. Village Center and Rt. 711 by Rt. 288). Rt. 60 must be preserved as it is Powhatan’s only practical area for commercial growth. There is so much more that can be said but space limits further comment. This letter was submitted on behalf of Powhatan Citizens Alliance. Don Silberbauer Powhatan County

Over 122 years of coaching experience By Eric Kolenich Times-Dispatch The two baseball coaches had taken a seat at the Richmond airport, waiting for a flight to a showcase baseball tournament, when the job interview began. In less than 30 seconds, it was all over. Gregg Conner, who has spent the past 35 seasons coaching the Powhatan High School team, wanted his longtime friend Tim Lowery, a recently retired coach himself, to join the staff at Powhatan. “I’d love to have you come coach,” the pitch began. “Sure,” Lowery replied. “Not a problem.” And with that, the deal was done. Lowery joined the Powhatan baseball team this spring, and now the school west of Richmond has perhaps the most experienced coaching staff in any sport in the Richmond area. Conner and Lowery are both in season No. 35 coaching high school baseball. Assistant Bob Baltimore, for whom the team’s field is named, is on season No. 52. Altogether, the three men have 122 years of combined expe-

rience coaching high school baseball. “That’s a lot of baseball knowledge,” Conner said. Conner, 59, the area’s longest-tenured head baseball coach, got the job at Powhatan in the spring of 1985, less than one year after graduating from VCU. Lowery, 61, was the second-most experienced head coach when he retired from Chesterfield County in 2017 after 31 seasons at Clover Hill and Cosby. Because of the county’s retirement policy, he had to sit out the 2018 season from all after-school activities. “It was different,” Lowery said. Unable to work, Lowery became a fan, occasionally showing up at Powhatan or Cosby games in street clothes. He got his coaching fix with the Canes, a showcase organization, guiding the organization’s 17U national team, its highest-level players, where Conner is also on staff. The two men got to know one another a few decades ago as high school baseball coaches in neighboring counties. Later they worked camps together at the University of Richmond.

Powhatan Girls Lacrosse’s Michala Taylor drives the ball to the goal en route to scoring for her Indians in their May 20 regional playoff home game against Midlothian.

Historic win for Girls LAX Indians earn the program its firstever regional tournament victory By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - Up until the final 7 minutes, Hailey Camp had yet to score in the Region 4B quarterfinals on May 20. But when she did, it made all the difference. The junior carried the ball down field and, seeing her shot, bounced it off the ground and into the netting to push her Powhatan Indians ahead for the thrilling 10-9 triumph over Midlothian. Once the clock hit zero, Powhatan Girls Lacrosse’s players stormed the field and gleefully celebrated the program’s first-ever regional playoff victory while the coaches hugged near the sideline. “It means that we’ve improved exponentially over the last four years,” Powhatan head coach Laura Camp said. “The girls have grown in skill and confidence, and for them to have this win just tells us that we’re on the right track, that the girls are truly working as a team and they did not give up the entire game. It was a very close game the entire time and they just were relentless in their fight to win this game.” The players and coaches not only won Monday’s historical game for each other - they also won it for Coach Camp’s dad, who passed away in March. “He was a lacrosse player in college and was my biggest fan. He came to every one of my games in high school and college,” Coach Camp said. “He loved getting updates on our high school team and loved how much we improved. The girls know how much he meant to me and we played this game for him.” Freshman Jordan Krauss picked right up where she left off in the Indians’ regular season finale against Clover Hill; after scoring 6 goals last Wednesday, Krauss found the net in a variety of ways to lead Powhatan with 5 in Monday’s game. Senior Nailah Bena-Chambers scored two goals: an early go-ahead, and an insurance tally in the second half. Camp had the game-winner, Ashley Van Buskirk scored an early goal to tie the game, and multisport standout Michala Taylor had the goal to get her team on the scoreboard and tie it early. She also assisted

her teammates on goals twice, while Krauss assisted Taylor. Midlothian led early by one goal and immediately piled on the pressure afterward. But Powhatan goalie Emily Stephenson locked down the cage on multiple shots fired by the Trojans, and the Indians began pouncing on miscues that saw the ball get loose from the visitors. Taylor weaved her way through the middle to launch the tying goal, then won the follow-up draw and passed the ball to Chambers, who put it through for the go-ahead tally. Momentum shifted back and forth as Riley Martin and Blair Honrado grabbed Midlothian the lead on back-to-back goals, Van Buskirk and Krauss - on a shot in traffic - swung the pendulum back to Powhatan, and the Trojans struck back with the help of a go-ahead tally from Martin, who led Midlothian in the game on 3 goals. Krauss knotted up the contest at 5-even before halftime on a goal off of a fast break, then completed a goahead tally from her position right in front of the cage. Chambers scored the first insurance goal of the game on a shot that bounced into the net, and Krauss added a couple more on quick bursts off of penalty shots. The two teams went goal-for-goal up until the final 10 minutes, when Martin followed up a teammate’s goal on a tying tally to make it 9-9. But after Camp fired in the go-ahead, Stephenson made a huge save within the final minute, and the Indians grabbed hold of possession and kept it through the waning seconds. Stephenson made 19 saves, including 14 in the first half. “Emily is fantastic. She is such a strong person on and off the field,” Coach Camp said. “She did not crack - she is our only goalie, she plays every single game, all game long and she brings it every single game. For her to consistently have the number of saves she has a game - she’s a huge asset to our team.” Ultimately, Powhatan’s season reached its end in the regional semifinals against Western Albemarle, 15-4, on May 23. Regardless, it was a winning season for the 9-6 Indians in 2019. “They’re all my favorite people. I just love each and every one of them,” Camp said of her players. “They each bring a different dynamic to the team and their chemistry is off the charts. They work so well together and they truly like each other and...you can’t replace that.”

POWHATAN – Head coach Jared Rottmund had to laugh. He had heard from some about his Powhatan girls soccer team’s record – it was 5-10-1 going into the postseason – but he told his girls on the night they played their first 2019 Region 4B matchup: “How many teams get to play the two state champions twice?” Four of their losses came to 2017 5A state titlists Albemarle and the defending Class 3 state champions Western Albemarle, to whom Powhatan narrowly lost 1-0 the second time the two teams met. When facing some of the top teams in its 4B Region – and capturing a historic 2-1 win over Midlothian while taking a narrow 1-0 loss to Hanover – Powhatan had been competitive. “So forget the record, because we’re in the money round,” was Rottmund’s message to his players. “This is what it’s all about right here, so let’s all practice. We learned, we adapted and we’re moving forward.” And move forward in the regional tournament they did. The Indians on May 21 shut-out King George 5-0 to advance to the Region 4B quarterfinals. Carrying on the momentum from Powhatan Girls Soccer’s Senior Night contest – which saw the Indians blow-out Orange County 10-2 – five different Powhatan seniors on Tuesday – Maya Rottmund, Rachel Mueller, Faith McNeel, Katlyn Hicks and Kaila Cook – scored all five of the team’s goals against King George. Senior Jennah Jarosinski played in goal for the shutout. After quickly identifying King George’s target player and pulling Emma Barnett to mark her – “she did a great job,” Coach Rottmund said of Barnett – Powhatan was left with a hole in midfield, necessitating a switch to a 4-4-2 formation. “The one thing that these girls have done well all season is adapted,” Coach Rottmund said, adding: “Everything we’ve gone through, we’ve grown through.” Powhatan Girls Soccer’s season was hard-fought to the end, as the Indians reached the Region 4B quarterfinals where they were edged by Hanover 1-0.

De Weese’s slam lifts Indians to victory By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - Rileigh De Weese rocketed a goahead grand slam over the center field fence in the bottom of the fifth inning to help her Powhatan Softball team fend off Chancellor 9-7 on May 21 and advance to the Region 4B quarterfinals. “We have to be proud of the fact that we didn’t put our heads down,” Powhatan head coach Marie Crump said, “and we came back.” Even when a 5-run third frame catapulted Chancellor back into the lead and the Indians found themselves trailing 6-4, Powhatan’s players were cheering each other on from the dugout, they were smiling in between plays and they reacted positively after making big plays to rally the home team back into the game. No frustration was on display. “That’s key - I think they knew they could do it; it was just a matter of getting out there and doing it,” Crump said. “A lot of that’s confidence and knowing you can.” Madeline Peloke, who had shoulder surgery before the start of the regular season, played her first game back and made an impact both in the pitcher’s circle and at the plate. She battled with walks in the circle, but struck out 4 batters, all looking, across the third and fourth frames. She also brought the fiery at-bats, hitting 3-for-3 with a run scored and a double that she slapped down the left field line in the sixth inning.

But after two quick outs, Powhatan’s bats erupted in the bottom of the second inning.

Indians rout Foxes

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

POWHATAN - Five different players dished out 2 hits apiece, Brandon Eike once again struck out a whopping 15 batters and Powhatan Baseball on May 21 rolled past King George and into the Region 4B quarterfinal round on a fiery 11-0 stand. “I think it was a really big win for us,” said Powhatan’s Addison Price, who against King George batted 1-for2 and scored a run. He noted their recent struggles - the Indians had lost 4 of their last 5 games going into the postseason - but added that they were “coming out and playing baseball like we used to.” “I know in my standpoint - I’m a senior and I didn’t want it to end here,” said Powhatan’s Trevor Waters, who batted 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs. “And all the guys, we talked about it before the game that, if you’re not doing it for yourself, do it for the seniors and for this team and for this organization.” The Indians piled on 14 hits overall in Tuesday’s game. Eike also batted 2-for-4, while Connor Woodel, Tanner Ritt and Aidan Voorhees each batted 2-for-3. Woodel plated two teammates and scored once, Ritt added an RBI and Voorhees plated a run while scoring twice. “We started looking for fast balls early in the count and hitting them, driving them to the other side, moving runners over, bunting, doing the small stuff that gets runs,” Waters said, with

Woodel agreeing that they were “doing the small things and looking to hit the ball opposite field mostly.” Before the Indians could unleash their bats, Eike set the tone right away on the mound, striking out the side in order in the top-half inning. The Virginia Tech commit tossed a completegame 1-hitter in addition to fanning 15, and he threw 66 strikes on 99 pitches. “He’s been really big for us this year,” Waters said of Eike. “We all knew he was going to be a big part of our pitching staff because we lost so many pitchers last year. He really had to step up and he’s filled that role greatly.” When Powhatan stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the first, lead-off batter Colby Cheatham set the tone for his offense by sailing a double deep into the left field corner. Waters then landed a bunt, and he reached first base as the erroneous throw by King George on the routine play skipped on by, enabling Cheatham to barrel home for the 1-0 lead. After a sacrifice fly by Cameron Sprouse and an RBI single by Waters added a pair of runs to Powhatan’s advantage, the Indians blew the game wide open on an incendiary 7-run 3rd frame. Cheatham overall scored 3 runs, Sprouse had 2 RBIs and a run scored and courtesy runner Caleb Kersey scored twice. Powhatan Baseball’s winning season (12-7) on May 23 reached a conclusion in the Region 4B quarterfinals on a 4-2 loss to Courtland, with Eike batting 2-for-3 with an RBI.

POWHATAN – Heroes emerged to help the Powhatan Indians power past hosting Caroline 4-0 on May 21 and into the Region 4B quarterfinals. “What a remarkable group of players that we have here!” Powhatan head coach Tim Cristian said. “It’s just been so much fun working with these guys, and just to see them so excited about that victory last night was a real joy for me, because they’ve worked so hard, they’ve trusted in me and their work has paid off to win that game.” Cristian said it was a bit of a challenge playing on the 55-foot wide soccer field, which he noted leveled the playing field between the home team and the visiting Indians. “It turned out to be a bit of a struggle – we weren’t allowed to utilize our strengths of getting our wingers involved like we’d like, and it was just like a scrum in the middle of the field,” he said. “It was a challenge, but what was exciting about it, for us at least, was just to see some heroes come up…” One of those heroes, senior Joseph Breen, led the way on two goals, including one that Cristian called “the best goal we’ve seen all year by anyone.” He struck the ball, it hit the crossbar and it went down across the line from about 20 yards out.

Powhatan’s Joseph Breen scored 2 goals in the Indians’ May 21 Region 4B tournament victory over Caroline.

Breen’s two goals came in the back half to help the Indians pull away after they led 1-0 following the first 40 minutes. Swift and speedy freshman Parker Sloan made the other goal in the second half, and junior Harry Hayden delivered the Indians’ first goal of the evening. “It was a good game in that regard, and in the fact that we got every player on,” Cristian said. “So many good things had culminated – it’s been a tough year with some of our results – and it was exciting for the guys…everybody just really was so focused.” The Indians’ hard-fought season ultimately came to a hard-fought end in the Region 4B quarterfinals, where they were edged by Midlothian 1-0.

2019 was Boys LAX’s best season to date

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

POWHATAN – For Powhatan Boys Lacrosse, the 2019 season was a program-best, as the Indians achieved 9 wins against 5 losses prior to playing Monticello in the first round of the Region 4A tournament. “I’m really happy with how hard the team played each and every game and the effort and character that they played with,” Powhatan Boys Lacrosse head coach Joe Niles said. “Last season we worked at creating a better culture to define who Powhatan Lacrosse Team is and how we play (Attitude, Effort, Commitment and Respect). This year we worked harder on preparing to WIN games.” The Indians had another young team this year; therefore, much of their focus was on fundamentals - stick work, throwing, catching and ground balls - as well as understanding the game.

“I feel that we made some really good improvements with regards to our ability to throw and catch and basic fundamentals,” Niles said. “Our lacrosse IQ also improved, but that often takes longer to develop. “ Niles described this year’s practices as “a lot more intense, physical and competitive.” “I’ve repeatedly told the players that it’s not good enough to say you want to win, but you must put the time in on the practice field,” Niles said. “Preparing to win also means not just practicing, but focus on the details… i.e. perfect practice.” And they focused on being a better team. “In prior years we were more of a collection of individuals who are playing lacrosse,” Niles said. “This year we focused on WE > ME (we greater than me) and holding each other accountable.” This year’s Powhatan team featured excellent senior leadership, Niles noted.

“Jared Somerville, Corey Palmore, Jacob Taylor, Jacob Dowdy and Evan Dodd all worked well with the younger players in helping them to understand how to play the game and be good teammates,” Niles said. While Monticello defeated the Indians 11-2 in the opening round of regionals, Powhatan earned its first winning season after going 6-9 last year and 3-11 in the two seasons prior, which were also the Indians’ first two years on the varsity level. So far, with every season, Powhatan has progressed, and with the expected return of talented and experienced underclassmen including but not limited to Ryland Davis, Connor Jeffs, Chase Mahaney, Ethan Niles, Brandon Palmore, Hayden Somerville and Robbie Williams, Coach Niles noted that the Indians’ focus for next year is on going 12 – 2 and winning a few games in the regional tournament.

NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY

Seniors and 4-year varsity players, Corey Palmore (4) and Jared Somerville (6), concluded their careers by helping their Powhatan Boys Lacrosse team achieve a 9-6 season.

Niles feels that many of the younger player now have a good foundation and understanding of what it takes to play the game at a high very competitive level. “Now that the team knows that they can compete and win and what it takes to do that, it

will definitely help for future seasons,” Niles said. “A winning culture is now in place, the players better understand how to play the game… it’s just a matter of continuing to practice and work in the off season to continue to sharpen their game.”

Shenk, Adams reach regional semifinals Staff Report

NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY

Kayli Shenk returns the ball during a regional singles match.

MECHANICSVILLE – Two of the leading forces on this year’s Powhatan Girls Tennis team continued their winning ways together all the way into the semifinal round of the Region 4B doubles tournament. Playing Monacan’s Julia Bassett and Caroline Knick in the first round, sophomore Kayli Shenk and junior McKenna Adams rolled out the victory on sets of 6-2 and 6-0. Playing in the quarterfinals at Eastern View as the fifth seed from the south, they defeated a pair from Courtland, seeded fourth in the North, on sets of 6-4 and 6-0.

WARRIOR RUN Continued from pg. 1B

where he’s a research coordinator at the University of Virginia, to support and compete in the new, growing race at Powhatan High School. “Races like this – you never know what you’re going to get, you never know who’s going to come out,” he said. “Definitely love the sense of camaraderie, a sense of adventure.” And after he and his fellow competitors ran, carried rocks, powered up flights of steps with sandbags over their shoulders, flipped tires, did pull-ups and crawled across a muddy stretch, Thompson circled the PHS track one last time carrying something about his shoulders that billowed outwards like a cape. It was the American Flag. Thompson was all smiles as he took the overall victory in a race that was founded by Powhatan High School senior Calie Rehme. With the Powhatan Warrior Run, Rehme, who will be going to the United States Coast Guard Academy, spoke earlier in the year about wanting to “bring more awareness to our military and what they do for all of our communities.” Featuring a diverse group of runners who ranged in age and occupation, this year’s Warrior Run took place on May 18 - Armed Forces Day – and raised over $1,000 in scholarship money for students graduating and attending a military college, academy or college ROTC program. The 5k – which started and finished on the track and also took runners through surrounding fields and woods, up the flights of steps that lead into the stadium and down the ramps on either side – added new stations including tire flips, pull-ups and lunges. The course featured new pull-up bars, which were built by Rehme and a couple of her friends, including Corey Palmore, and are now permanent structures that can be used by Powhatan County Public Schools. Some of the running in the course was redesigned from last year, and a big hill was added into the ending portion of the race layout for “that one final push,” Rehme said. Thompson was most proud of overcoming the 8-foot wall that he and his competitors had to scale in the woods towards the end of the race. If he were attacking the obstacle

They reached the Region 4B semifinals, where they fell to the South’s top seed of Raine Weis and Madison Moore on sets of 6-2, 6-2. Head coach Jennifer Campbell said that the duo battled and had many deuces (tie-game situations beginning at 40-40), including six in one single game. In singles, Hanover’s Madison Moore advanced to the regional semifinals by defeating both Shenk and Kat Kim from Powhatan. In the first round, Moore defeated Kim CONTRIBUTED PHOTO on a pair of 6-0 sets. In the second Haley Balzer (left) was present to round, Moore rallied back from a support doubles partners Kayli Shenk 1-set deficit to overtake Shenk and and McKenna Adams during regionals at win a competitive 3rd set, 6-4. Eastern View High School.

while completely fresh, it would’ve been easy, he surmised. But “looking at it in that moment maybe halfway through the course, you’re running through trails and you’re just hoping: I get one good jump and I don’t have to try this again,” Thompson said, “and I did.” Following Thompson’s winning time of 24:13, Matthew Hedgepeth, from Chester, made a final sprint towards the finish line and took second place overall in the Warrior Run on a 24:30. “I just like running, I like to train…I heard about this race through my job and decided to come out and support it and just allow for myself to continue to better myself,” Hedgepeth said. “I love the cause that it supports.” Sean Hall, who this year was also a thirdplace finisher in the 126 weight division of the Class 4 state wrestling tournament, took third overall in the Warrior Run on a time of 27:33, and was the highest finishing Powhatan High School student in the race. Hall goes to the gym and sometimes lifts with Rehme, whom he said had talked the wrestlers into competing in and supporting the race. “It’s great to see everyone come out to help support Calie and the veterans,” Hall said. “It’s a good cause.” Callie Carjane, who goes to Maggie Walker Governor’s School and competes in rowing with Rehme, was the top female finisher in the Warrior Run on a winning time of 30:03. Thanks to the money raised by the race, NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY Powhatan High School will present two scholarships for $250 each and one for $500. Callie Carjane, seen carrying rocks early in the Powhatan Warrior Although the winners have yet to be decided, Run, was the top female finisher in the second annual race. the scholarships will be awarded at the senior awards banquet on June 6. “Having a place where we can come together, challenge ourselves mentally and physically while giving money to scholarships for students going into our military and going to be veterans one day and really contribute to our military and our country…I’m really excited about that,” Rehme said, “and proud that we can have an event where these people are really pumped to be here and challenging themselves for that great cause.” Rehme is a senior this year, but Thompson hopes they continue holding the Powhatan Warrior Run after she graduates. NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY “Congrats to her for even starting something like this,” he said. “This is awesome.” Competitors take on the crawl station late in the race.

COACHES Continued from pg. 2B

a future professional catcher, joined the Canes, Tim came, too, as a coach. When the Canes were looking for another coach to hire, Lowery recommended his buddy Conner. The two started traveling together to tournaments in Florida or Georgia, and

all the while they talked baseball and its various situations. There are runners on first and third when the runner on first steals. What should the catcher do? When Conner offered Lowery a spot on his coaching staff, he didn’t have a stipend available or any way to compensate Lowery financially. No big deal, Lowery thought. He’d do it for free.

They’re really not that different from one another, Conner said. The two coaches are both guys who set rules and expect them to be followed, but more than that, they’re guys who care about their players as human beings. “We’re basically the same guy,” Conner said. After 31 years as being the team’s head man, calling all the shots, Low-

ery loves taking a step back as an assistant. He works with the infielders and catchers during practice — the same role Conner holds — and serves as the bench coach during games. Conner’s son, Brett, is on staff, and former players have a tendency to come back and help out. “It’s kind of like a family affair,” Lowery said. “I’m glad they welcomed me into their family.”
