Batteau festival celebrates James River’s spirit By Laura McFarland News Editor
P
OWHATAN – With a year as good as the 34th annual James River Batteau Festival was this year, it is hard for participants to imagine it might not last much longer. Great water levels, overall good weather, and great camaraderie among the crews of the 20 boats that participated were prevalent throughout the eight-day festival, which launched from Lynchburg on June 15 and ended on June 22 at Maiden’s Landing in Powhatan, said Gail Timberlake, past president of the Virginia Canals and Navigation Society. “It’s been fantastic. There have been a few issues with not only our boat but others, but everybody is doing great. The water levels have been pretty near perfect. That means you can maneuver the

difficult spots but it’s not so fast that you can’t stop,” said Timberlake of Powhatan, captain of the Lady’s Slipper, one of two Powhatan-based boats in the festival. Throughout the course of the 120mile journey down the James River, participants stop at designated points each day to camp and share their experiences. Despite starting and ending each day at the same place, everyone has different experiences. Each boat has to navigate the depths and shallows of the James River and get their boats through obstacles such as rocks and small ledges. Sometimes they get stuck, but when that happens, they work together to solve the problem, either within their own crew or with the help of others on the river, Timberlake said. On one of the early days of the festival, the Lady’s Slipper was stuck on rocks twice and needed see BATTEAU, pg. 6

POWHATAN – Powhatan County recently responded to a lawsuit challenging the board of supervisors’ decision to eliminate the Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning district but the case will be delayed until a judge can be appointed to hear it. The original lawsuit, which was filed on May 24, asserts that the members of the board of supervisors and the planning commission were “were unreasonable, arbitrary, and capricious” in their decisions to eliminate the R-C zoning district and thus downzone 509 parcels in the county. It asks a judge to declare the board’s action unlawful, that the downzoning ordinance is null and void, and that zoning district continue in effect as it existed prior to the change. County attorney Tom Lacheney filed motions on Tuesday, June 18 in Powhatan County Circuit Court asking for two of the lawsuit’s eight plaintiffs to be dismissed from the case and refuting their claims on how the rest have been negatively impacted. The same day that the county responded to the original suit, Circuit Court Judge Paul Cella recused himself and all of the other judges on the 11th Judicial Circuit. Cella said in a letter to the Supreme Court of Virginia that he could not hear the case because he owns property located in the area in question.
Additionally, the other judges agreed that since one of their colleagues will be affected by the case, they should also recuse themselves. At this point, the case has to wait until the Supreme Court of Virginia appoints a substitute judge, according to Rene Holy, chief deputy clerk. The board of supervisors voted 3-2 in favor of eliminating the controversial zoning district at its meeting on April 24 in a decision that was the culmination of months of work by staff, the planning commission, the supervisors and the public. David Williams, who represents District 1, Larry Nordvig, District 2, and Carson Tucker, District 5, voted for the elimination. Chairwoman Angie Cabell, District 3, and Bill Melton, District 4, voted against it. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of several entities and individuals: the Richmond Association of Realtors; Richard Cox; Edmund C. Burruss; Christy B. Elliott; Old Buckingham L.L.C.; Robert A. Sorenson; East Coast Marketing Inc., trustee of Anderson Land Trust, Northside Two Land Trust, Hollywood Land Trust, and Rocky Oak Land Trust; and Linda Lee Pierce. In the motion to dismiss filed by the county, Lacheney asked that the Richmond Association of Realtors Inc. and Richard Cox be dismissed as plaintiffs in the case “for lack of standing.” Since see ZONING, pg. 4

Madilynn Lewallen, from left, Perry Cloud, and Michael Wirt, spoke to the school board in support of a Pride Month display at Powhatan Middle School. Ben Burkhart, below, said it didn’t belong in the school.
if the number was smaller, board members described being sad that any student would come to school feeling afraid. I am recognized for my positive behavior – among students, 87 percent at the highest and 54 percent at the lowest. I know how to decide right from wrong – among students, 95 percent at the highest and 90 percent at the lowest. There are supports to help a student who consistently misbehaves – among teachers, 88 percent at the highest and 66 percent at the lowest school. Students know there are consequences for breaking school rules – among students 78 percent was the highest and 36 percent the lowest. During the presentation, Omohundro talked about some of the “real talk” administration has heard from the staff at the schools. They talked about people at all levels and job descriptions in the division having to continue to adjust their understanding and implementation of new behavior management practices and refuting the misconception that students are no longer being disciplined. The school division has adopted strategies to support teachers and students at all levels. Some of the tools the division is using include: Second Step – Tier 1 school-wide curriculum that teaches students about goal-setting, decision-making, and handling strong emotions, implementing it at Powhatan Middle School (teachers), and the three elementary schools (counselors); Reset and Reflect (R&R) – a Tier 1 strategy to address immediate behavior and reteach alternatives. Skills Streaming – Tier 3 direct instruction on social emotional competencies and strategies such as accepting re-direction for K-12 students. Other supports – structured day, small groups, check-in, checkout, and mentoring. Part of the plan and some of the school board member responses talked
specifically about Powhatan Middle School and challenges there. Omohundo pointed out that in the last four years, middle school students had four principals and three building. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said that these points and others presented in the budget was for the school division’s use. “We look at it as an opportunity for growth and an opportunity for improvement, so there are no repercussions. It is just us wanting to get better,” he said.
Pride Month In a separate but related discussion, several members of the public spoke during the public comment period about a few people spoke about reactions to a Pride Month display put up for less than two days at the middle school. Among the comments

when the display went up and the atmosphere of bullying they created. PMS seventh-grader Madilynn Lewallen talked about having LGBTQ friends and how they are all bullied at their school and don’t feel safe at school. When the display was put up, her friends were excited and felt like they were being accepted, she said. But when it was taken down, they felt like the school hadn’t accepted them and they had no one with whom they could talk. She talked about bullying behavior such as other students telling them “gay is not OK, tell us we should kill ourselves – we don’t deserve to live because … they feel like it is not the right way to live.” She said being LGBTQ isn’t something to be ashamed of or something that needs to be hidden; it is loving a person for who they are and being who you are and want to be in the world, not what others want you to be.

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board recently discussed the management of student behavior that included a pointed discussion about school safety. During its meeting on June 11, the school board heard a presentation looking at student behavior management, changes that have been made in the last several years, and the results of a climate survey filled out by students and teachers. Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendent for instruction, gave a presentation on student behavior management that talked about the challenges and successes the school district has had as well as the steps forward the division will continue to take. The division’s goal is to prevent negative student behaviors, incorporate instruction into how schools work with students to manage their behavior, and also making sure they are “focused on equity, fairness and continuing student improvement,” she said. Faculty and staff are teaching Powhatan students how to behave, which is the focus of the strategies the division is embracing with positive results, she said. Some of the highlights Omohundro outlined in her presentation included: Powhatan High School’s dropout rate went from 3.52 in 2017 to 1.74 in 2018; PHS’s graduation completion index increased from 95.2 in 2017 to 96.9 in 2018; and The division’s suspension and expulsion rates have gone down across the board. Of particular interest to the school board members were the results of a divisionwide survey among students and adults. Omohundro showed a chart that featured the highest and lowest responses among the five schools to several of the behavior and discipline questions from the survey. Some of the examples of the questions Omohundro highlighted included responses to these statements: I feel safe at school – among students, the school with the highest response was 88 percent and the lowest was 72 percent. Among teachers, 94 percent felt safe at the highest school and 90 percent at the lowest. This survey question and the response rate drew extra attention from the board members who were concerned about how many students didn’t feel safe in school. Even

were: Ben Burkhart, who felt the display should not have been put up at the middle school, talked about isolating groups under the veil of inclusivity; introducing politically charged and divisive topics during year-end testing, and having better school board protocols for dealing with socially-divisive issues. Powhatan High Schools student Michael Wirt said the problems at the middle school have bled over to the high school. He spoke about the intention of the display to celebrate Pride Month and showing students it is OK for them to be themselves. He said it was a helpful and inclusionary display but taking it down so soon after putting it up felt like a “stab in the back.” He also talked about the negative reactions of some students

Historic Garden returns to Village area Contributed Report You may have heard or visited the small Powhatan County Historic Garden in the past or you may not have heard of it at all. It is tucked away behind the Courthouse and the Historical Society building in downtown Powhatan and has been a gem of a garden since 2006. A group of local citizens initiated the idea of the garden to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown in 1607 so the garden was dedicated in 2007. It
was designed, built, planted and maintained by volunteer members of the Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardeners Association. The Powhatan Historical Society enabled the Master Gardeners to put the garden directly behind their historic jail, which was built in 1830. Plants in the garden were selected to help educate the public about what residents of the area likely grew here between 1777 and 1830. There are 12 beds and a wall garden against the building. Plants
bloom throughout the growing season so the look of the garden changes with the seasons. Vegetables, tobacco, cotton and Norton grapes can be found in three beds and two barrels at the garden. They point out the economic importance their cultivation was to this area. Over the past 12 years, the garden has flourished and the plants have grown abundantly well. The pathways around the beds did start to erode in the past few years, though, and something had to be done
to preserve them. Many ideas were discussed but in spring of 2018 it was decided to pave the pathways with brick pavers that, while new, do resemble the older bricks that surround the Courthouse and Historical Society building. The Powhatan Historical Society shared the cost of the pavers with the Master Gardeners Association, and a small group of Master Gardeners provided the “sweat equity and muscle� over the past 14 months to lay the bricks as they are see GARDEN, pg. 6

The Sideburns category was introduced for the Carson City worlds in 2003 to honor the King, Elvis Presley, according to the international competition’s website. The category has remained controversial since its inception, the description continued. The Association of German Beard Clubs translates the name of this category into English as “Whiskers ‘Freestyle’ & ‘Sideburns’,� but the German description excludes sideburns, a term not used in German and a facial hair style not common in Germany.

The competition saw travelers from counties such as Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Belgium, England, Canada, Switzerland, France, Italy, New Zealand, and the United States coming together to vie for the top places in 17 categories. “This is most definitely a next-level beard competition.

The luggage was finally located on the day of the competition and he rushed from Antwerp to Brussels to pick it up even as the competition was about to start. Several delays and train switches later, he was headed back to the competition. “The whole time I was on my way back to the Antwerp where the competition was being held, I was getting updates from friends on how close it was to my category. I shaved and cleaned up on a moving train getting dressed in my competition outfit and made it to the venue with only 20 minutes to spare before my category.

these two plaintiffs only have “speculative interest� in the potential listings or sales of properties, neither has legal standing to challenge a rezoning decision made by the board of supervisors, according to the motion. It asserts that the two plaintiffs do not meet the standard of being an “aggrieved person� required for parties contesting a zoning ordinance. Since they do not have “ownership interest� of any kind, the suit in their case doesn’t meet the standard. The county’s response to the original lawsuit refutes the plaintiffs’ arguments that their properties have been downzoned. According to the response, a downzoning occurs when a locality’s zoning action “results in a reduction in a formerly permitted land use intensity or density.� All of the plaintiffs in the original lawsuit represent properties that were rezoned to Agriculture-10 (A-10). A comparison of the two zoning districts makes it clear that here was no reduction in formally permitted land use intensity or density, the response said. The A-10 district ac-
2013, Quinn has attended numerous shows around the nation, including the 2017 World Beard and Moustache Championship, which was held in Austin, Texas. He placed second in the Sideburns Natural Category of the international competition. He also won first in Sideburns/Mutton Chops in the 2018 Great American Beard and Moustache Championship in September 2018 in Richmond. He will defend his title again at the competition when it is held in November in Chicago. If anything, Quinn said his involvement with beard competitions has only increased in the last few years. Quinn isn’t paid for his victories. Instead, the competitions
tually allows “for significantly more commercial development in quantity as well as more intense commercial development.� The county attached a summary of uses for both A-10 and the former R-C zoning district to show how many more uses are allowed in A-10. In 2018, the board of supervisors voted to severely limit the number of by-right uses in the R-C zoning district to force more cases to go through the full process of coming before the planning commission and board of supervisors. The response also addresses the complaint that the plaintiffs’ vested rights had been invalidated by saying they gave no specific rights that had been purportedly taken away. A landowner has a right to continue an existing use even if a governing body changes the zoning classification, but the existence of vested property rights does not prohibit rezoning, the suit said, citing previous case law. The board of supervisors asked that the case be “dismissed with prejudice and that it be granted such further Relief as the Court deems appropriate.� Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.
have charitable connections and proceeds go to them. Quinn also loves and appreciates the relationships he has built and continues to build in the recent years and the opportunity to explore the cities where the competitions are held. “I have judged several competitions. I have started my own beard club, which is called the Facial Hair Club of Mianus. I now have two sponsors for my beard, Mean Beard, which sells beard products, and Damn Near Kilt 'Em, which sells utility kilts,� he said. Quinn said he recently had to cut off 10 inches of his beard because of an accident with a circular saw in early April. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

MAKERS Continued from pg. 1
945202-01
Hands at Work Club and the National Arts Honor Society embarked on a new multimedia project called the Powhatan Community Makers. The goal was to honor several nominees who have made a difference in the community with special portraits and interviews spearheaded by students, said Melissa Glanden, librarian at the high school. The project involved multiple steps, starting with taking nominations in early 2019. Five individuals were chosen to be honored by the students for their work in Powhatan: Andrew Snead, Rick Cole, Dr. Lynn Clayton-Prince, Angel Rather and Nailah-Benã Chambers. The nominees came to the school to be interviewed by the students and have photographs taken. The art students used the photographs to prepare canvases to be painted in a modern-portrait style, said Maddie Harris, an art student who helped with the project before she graduated earlier this month. The canvases with the base sketches were brought out on March 16 during the International Diversity Day held at the high school. Community members in attendance had the opportunity to work together to paint the backgrounds, she said. The portraits continued to emerge with the help of art students of all levels in the weeks that followed. “It is a lot of work going into one painting from different people. If you think about it, everything is in your style when you paint. So to have different people working on one thing, it mixes it all up. It is hard to blend it all to make it look cohesive. It was super difficult and super scary to do all this. But I think it has turned out really well. I absolutely love it,” Harris said. The project was inspired by Richmond artist Hamilton Glass, who worked with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and created a portable mural project of advocates in the Richmond community, Glanden said. The students in-

volved in the project visited the VMFA to see Glass’ RVA Community Makers project and then created their own version for PHS. Gabby Hammond, a rising sophomore, was one of the journalism students who interviewed some of the honorees and thought it was great that they support diversity in so many ways. Gabby said her whole class helped create the interview questions. She did video interviews with Clayton-Prince, who used to be her principal, and Rather and Chambers, who were fellow students at the time. These interviews will be tied to scannable QR codes that will be on display with the portraits so people can scan them and pull up the videos. She added that she hopes anyone who sees the project will know there are people who care about the students “and if we feel accepted when we walk in.” The five individuals were honored for various reasons: Andrew Snead is the vice president of the Powhatan NAACP chapter; a trustee at First Antioch Baptist Church; serves as the Henrico Fire personnel director, and is a member of the PHS Mentor program. Rick Cole is the District 1 representative for the Powhatan County School Board; served as teacher and then was PHS principal from 1995 to 2008; is part of the PHS Mentor program, and is a career coach at the high school. Dr. Lynn Clayton-Prince is currently the director of special education for Powhatan County Public Schools and is actively involved in her church as well we several Powhatan community groups, including the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA, the Powhatan Education Foundation, the Powhatan Historical Society, the Powhatan chapter of the NAACP, and the Powhatan Democratic Committee. She is also a PHS Mentor program member and serves on autism, equity and diversity, and special education advisory committees. She was formerly the principal of Pocahontas Middle School. Angel Rather and
Nailah-Benã Chambers, who both graduated from PHS this month, were nominated together. The pair, who are shown together in one of the portraits, started the Diverse Hands at Work Club in their junior year and made a big push as seniors to encourage inclusiveness through seminars, field trips, student forums, and the International Diversity Fair held at the school. Snead said he saw a similar project in Henrico and thought it was a great way to recognize people in the community. When he was nominated, he felt it was a great honor. “I do things and I am not looking for any recognition. I am just trying to do what’s best. I have a moral code and if something meets my moral code I try to do it and do the best I can,” he said. He added that he tries to be a good example and role model who hopefully influences people to do more for others as well. Chambers said that when the students first visited the VMFA, she worried about how they could accomplish this project given how full their senior year already was. But she soon changed her mind and came to see it as part of the legacy she and Rather could leave at PHS. “Mutually we were saying this is going to be a big deal because we have done a lot this year and feel like we left a big impact on the school. A lot of students have been getting into our club. So to have a mural left behind would show the impact of these things and start a new chapter after we leave,” she said. Rather hopes that through the mural project, she and her friend can lead by example. They want people to know they made mistakes and got knocked down at times but also got back up and tried their hardest to make a difference in their school. “For anybody who comes after us, that is what I would want them to really relate to,” she said.

now. The project came about while construction of the courthouse addition and 911 communications center was taking place. The garden was “walled” by construction safety fencing and not really accessible to the public. But the Master Gardeners carried on during the hot summer, the rain delays and other issues to complete the project in June 2019, much to their delight! All the old bricks that were still surrounding the garden and had not broken were used to border the area. Slate pieces that were in the original pathway are “Buckingham Slate,” some of which is still in
use as the roof of the clerk’s office, built in 1796.They were put into aesthetically pleasing places amid the bricks. There are also some Powhatan produced bricks donated by the Historical Society that are located within the new pavers and can be found with a little bit of investigative energy! Pavers were cut to fit around circular sewer covers in the garden. Finishing touches to hold the bricks in place and prevent weeds from growing between them were completed. The end product fits in quite nicely with the look of the surrounding historical area. Now is the time to visit this garden. It is always open, free, and easy to ac-

cess. If you visit, you may find Master Gardeners working on the beds to keep them looking healthy, happy and weed free. They are always happy to talk to visitors and answer questions. If no one is there, brochures describing the garden can be found in a box attached to the white
fence. There are several other small, local area gardens that have been designed, built, planted and maintained by Master Gardeners. In Powhatan, the Native Plant Trail in Fighting Creek Park can be accessed by the path behind the library or through the
parking area near the pavilion. The new Pollinator Garden also shares this area. It has been a work in progress for the past year but the bees, butterflies and birds who visit don’t mind at all. Master Gardeners plant and maintain the vegetable garden at the Powhatan YMCA to educate children about how to garden and produce food they can eat. The Virginia Cooperative Extension office has vegetables growing in raised beds used for monthly summer sessions to educate local residents in planting gardens as well cooking the food that is grown there. The Extension staff calls it “Groove in the Garden” and use the services of Master Food volunteers and Master
Gardeners to demonstrate healthy life-style practices. At Reynolds College in Goochland, Master Gardeners have designed, built and planted an educational herb garden on the campus directly behind the Horticulture Building. One of the main functions of the Master Gardeners Association is to extend the knowledge of gardening to the public through demonstrations, classes, clinics, events and children’s’ activities. For more information about any of the gardens, the Master Gardener Association events or how to become a Master Gardener, contact the Extension Office at (804) 598-5640 or go to the GPMGA website www.gpmga.org.

help to move on. The first time, the Slate River and Mary Marshall anchored their boats upstream and downstream, respectively, and some of those crew members waded through the swift water to lend their strength to moving the long wooden boat. Later that day, members of the Boy Scout Troop 700 out of Ashland were passing by in canoes and helped push and lift
the boat off some rocks. Meanwhile, at the designated daily stopping points or on private land along the way, spectators wait to catch a glimpse of the batteau and wave them on. “It’s like experiencing batteau family and then extended family. The people on land along the river wait for us to come by and they wave and encourage us. They are as enthusiastic as the people on the boat,” Timberlake said. Ned Nelson of Pow-

hatan, captain and owner of the Fine Creek Mill, agreed the trip was wonderful. He said he celebrated that he could get up each morning and work alongside his crew to travel the river, but the conditions for the 2019 event were truly worthwhile. But even as organizers celebrate another successful year and think about looking ahead to the festival’s 35th year, they do so understanding that any year could be a make-orbreak year for the festival. Andrew Shaw, chairman of the festival, pointed out that it is a constant effort to bring more people into the fold to build and crew more batteau and participate in not only the week-long trip but all of the hard work that goes into it. “It is like any other institution; it is only ever a breath away from its last breath,” he said. “We plan to do it forever, but I wouldn’t say there is any guarantee.” Moving forward, the message that festival leadership continues to send is that more people need to take on responsibilities. “They have not written it off; they are looking for a younger generation to take the lead to keep the program going,” Timberlake said. “The wisdom of the greatest number of us that are truly getting older is tremendous, but the leadership has to be passed on. That is the way the world works.” There are many people
who enjoy coming to participate in or watch the festival, but they don’t know all the work that goes into making it happen, Nelson said. It is more manageable when many people share the load, but that takes people stepping up. Nelson said he hasn’t missed many years since the festival started and is disappointed at the thought of it coming to an end. But if it continues, as he hopes, it is also hard to contemplate a time when he will no longer be involved. “We know this might be an era drawing to a close, and we also know we are part of that era. We’ve lived in that era from when we were young – around 30 years old – to now our late 60s and early 70s,” Nelson said. “I don’t want it to end. I don’t want to admit I am getting older. But I have to accept I can’t do what I could do. I have to accept that I can’t get the boat ready anymore by myself. I have to accept the fact that I need help and it’s not always there, and that is what the problem is for the festival.” That reality may be pragmatic, but it is also hard to face, Nelson continued emotionally. In addition to the idea that the festival could go away if action isn’t taken, the thought of no longer having this central gathering point to see the people he has come to know and
love through the years is hard to imagine. Chris and Betsy Trice of Goochland were also emotional when they talked about the future of Clifton Lee, the boat they helped build and have been crew members on for several years. The boat belongs to Lisa O’Sullivan, who told the crew this year that she has done it long enough and it would be her last. “You put a lot of energy and heart and soul into it. Knowing that you are not going to see it until it just breaks into pieces is kind of a bummer. At the same time, it is a huge responsibility. We are not ready to take that on,” Betsy Trice said. Even with that sad news to deal with, the couple was determined to enjoy every moment of the festival this year, in case it is their last, she said. The couple loves being on the river every day and sleeping under the stars at night. “It’s also the adrenaline of getting stuck and getting through stuff,” she said. Chris Trice added that they love that the festival is a truly unique experience that will take people out of every comfort zone – physically, mentally and socially. “This is a huge commitment. You may have friends you hang out with on Friday and Saturday nights and it might be cool to bring them on the boat. But when you are out here six to eight days, it is a
true test of your friendship,” he said. In addition to the personal relationships participants have built through the years, the batteau festival represents a shared history and love of the James River and its history, he said. The festival encourages a deep appreciation for the history of the James River and what it has meant to Virginia. Batteau crews have hand built replicas of the 18th and 19th century flat wooden cargo vessels that were used to haul crops, goods and even people along the river. “It is a deep appreciation for how the river has contributed to the growth of the nation. Most of the people involved in it realize how important the river is. This is just a piece of the history of it, but it’s a major piece of it because it is how they got commerce from the upper part of the state – areas like Amherst County, Albemarle, Buckingham and all that – to the city to be shipped everywhere else,” he said. But unlike commercially-driven captains of old who likely hurried along to their destinations to get goods to market, the participants of the batteau festival fully embrace the concept of “rivah time,” Timberlake said. “That means don’t pay attention to the clock. We are going to get where we’ve got to get and we are going to enjoy the river as we go,” she said.

World War II veteran, POW shares his story By Laura McFarland News Editor
T
he first time I heard about Russell Scott was from my parents. Sometimes when they come for a visit from Texas, they will arrive a few days early, rent a car, and go sightseeing on their own. They go shopping, try out different restaurants, visit museums and battlefields, and sometimes just drive around. Last fall, they made a special visit to the Virginia War Memorial. When they came home, all they could talk about was this amazing World War II veteran who volunteers there. Russell Scott, who turned 99 in April, volunteers at the museum every Wednesday and shares his story. He served on a B-25 that was shot down on May 25, 1944, while flying over Italy. It was only his second mission after arriving in Europe. With both engines shot out and the plane going down, the crew was forced to bail out. Mr. Scott survived the jump from the airplane but broke his back and was taken as a prisoner of war. He remained a POW until the final camp where he was held was liberated on May 2, 1945. There was much more detail that my mom shared as she talked about this veteran with awe and respect. She told me I had to visit the Virginia War Memorial and should try to go on a Wednesday if I could because that is the day he is there. I said I would try, but, as often happens, life interrupts and I still have not made the time. Fortunately, a part of that opportunity came to me. Mr. Scott was the special guest speaker at the War Memorial Roundtable for all veterans on June 12, and recognizing his name and wanting to hear his story myself, I agreed to attend. Mr. Scott came into the War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center and was seated at a front

table facing about 60 people gathered there. Listening to him speak, the experience never seemed grandiose or over-exaggerated. He simply told his story. And what a powerful story it was. He talked about being inducted into the United States Army in April 1943 and the training he received at various bases around the nation to ready him for war. He spoke about the route he took to travel to Europe via South America and Africa. When he landed in Corsica on May 18, 1944, he was told it would be his home until he finished 50 missions. He flew his first mission on May 23. Two days later, he flew his second and final mission, which had the intended outcome of bombing a railroad
bridge. Mr. Scott recounted being trapped in the airplane because he had trouble getting his door open and then climbing out on the plane’s wing to be able to jump. “I sat on the wing for a few seconds and thought ‘This plane is going all the way down and I’m not going down with it,’ ” he said. Mr. Scott was captured by German soldiers and eventually taken to a hospital in Verona, Italy. He said the only treatment he received was heat on his back. He recalled being transferred and interrogated so the Germans could learn what transport routes he may know. Later, he was taken to a prisoner of war camp in Germany and then another one in Poland, where he stayed the winter. At one point, he volunteered to make stove pipes out of old tin cans for the barracks. After many months, he was transferred to a nearby camp back in Germany and he was still a prisoner there when the camp was liberated. A month later, he boarded a ship home that experienced difficulties but still made it home. As Mr. Scott’s story wound down, he ended his talk about his involvement in the war with a smile and a simple “That’s the story of my life with the Germans.” We are in danger of losing the last of our World War II veterans, and, unfortunately, we also have lost too many veterans of the Korean War and Vietnam War as that generation grows older as well. Their stories need to continue to be cherished and shared to honor their service and sacrifice. And if you get a chance to visit the Virginia War Memorial between 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, there is a truly inspiring 99-year-old World War II veteran who can tell his story much better than I ever could.

Memory of father’s nurturing nature lives on By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
In the late 1970s, Hurricane Agnes leveled the small community located along Seneca Creek and left few remnants of what once occupied the peaceful stretch of land that nestled up to the still waters that ran off the Potomac River. The small restaurant, a hotel and the numerous bike or boat rental shacks and the long line of small cottages that once lined the creek as it meandered to a three-tiered viaduct that opened onto the expansive Potomac with the faint sight of the distant shore of Virginia always visible were gone forever. News quickly arrived from state authorities with the expected news that the small hamlet would not be rebuilt, the land declared too flood prone for occupancy or business. The small stretch of creek and the community was quickly forgotten, another neglected piece of Americana lost to all but those who remember, or write about it. Seneca Creek held a lifetime of childhood memories for me, and some of the happiest summer days were spent jumping off an anchored rowboat sitting smack dab in the middle of the Potomac. If we were not renting a motorboat and heading out on an adventure with our Uncle Dudley, we were renting bikes and following the C&O Canal towpath along three locks that ended at the Great Falls of the Potomac. A trip to Seneca always offered a unique look at something new or unusual, and never failed to mystify. There was a strange combination of summer dwellers in the shabby cottages that appeared perpetually unfinished on one side of the
creek and the small rental shops and small eateries on the other. Although most of the trips to Seneca were with Uncle Dudley, every child’s dream of an ideal uncle, the most special of those visits was a day spent six decades ago with my father. I suppose he had heard more than enough about Dudley’s unbelievable talents, generosity, and willingness to take us to the most exciting places in our small world, and decided it was time for a father and son outing to Seneca. We departed early in the day and arrived at the rental pier just as the weathered man was placing oars in the heavy wooden rowboats. I could have told him that Dudley always rented the motorboats located at the end of the lane, but I followed his lead and climbed in the small skiff. The early morning aroma of the still water in the creek was intoxicating as sudden flashes of sunlight penetrated the large oak limbs that had long ago covered the creek. The light made the white shirt he wore almost seem fluorescent. He always wore a white shirt, neatly pressed and starched, and rarely rolled up the sleeves; but, on this day, he did. I noticed his well-developed but normal-sized muscles as they worked in coordination with the oars and the waves as I thought to myself how difficult rowing a boat 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

must be. The small gray hair that edged his short sideburns offered the only contrast to a jet-black head of hair, neatly parted and rarely mussed. In the summer, he wore blue suits and a straw fedora, but, this day, his head was uncovered. The anchor made a splash as we arrived in a channel near a small island located near the middle of the river closer to the Virginia side. The only sound was the ruffle of the small brown bag packed by my mother as he unpacked the sandwiches. The smell of homebaked ham permeated the vanilla-covered wrappers as he neatly undid my mother’s handiwork. A small thermos of iced tea provided the perfect accompaniment for a lunch with the perfect location, with the perfect company. We talked about a lot of things that day, sitting in that overused rowboat, bobbing in the calm waters of the Potomac as they gathered speed headed for the falls. I was a small boy and didn’t know much about this quiet man who never spared words when prompted by his children. I didn’t realize then that I’d never heard him say a curse word or raise his voice in anger toward my mother or miss a day of work or a school play or baseball game. The only thing I really knew was that I felt lucky to have this guy as a dad, and I liked spending time with him. It’s a re-
lationship that he nurtured early in my life, a commitment he didn’t talk about, only lived. The ham sandwiches on soft white bread were almost gone, so we searched for a spot to throw our fishing line, both of us hoping for non-yielding results. The small fishing rod seemed small in his hands, a relic of a past birthday gift. I didn’t know then it would be the only fishing rod I ever owned, but he wouldn’t be surprised. The sun didn’t seem as bright or intense as the softer hues of afternoon painted the shoreline and gently rippling waves. He rowed seemingly effortless across the open stretch that separated us from Seneca, each stroke exactly the same, each oar hitting the gentle waves simultaneously. The repetitive motion mirrored the way he lived his life with steady strokes and focused determination. Less than a year later, he was gone and a young boy was left with only memories, faint recollections of endless games of catch among a myriad of lessons learned in a short period of time. And many years later, those few hours at Seneca seem more special than ever … and his influence still guides me as I attempt to parent, inspire, and teach my children. On Father’s Day 2019, I’m most appreciative for having my father even if for only a short amount of time. The memories don’t fade, and I suppose that I am somehow continuing a journey that he began, a sort of continuation that confirms that the departed live on in the lives of the people who loved them. I think he’d like that. Rowboat art - Metro Creative Connection

OWHATAN – Ashley Van Buskirk had previously heard a little bit about the Senior Classic. Friends and former Travel teammates, who had gotten to play in that prestigious U.S. Lacrosse Richmond Chapter game, had told her it was a really fun experience. So the Classic was somewhat on her radar. But it wasn’t until Anna Causey, her best friend since kindergarten, texted her – asking her if she was going to play – that Van Buskirk learned she had the opportunity to take on one final high school lacrosse match. There was only one issue that needed to be resolved:
the game was taking place on the same night as the two Powhatan Girls Lacrosse standouts’ senior banquet. Both Causey and Van Buskirk had been nominated for scholarship awards and recognitions. But in the end, they chose to “double-dip,” Van Buskirk recalled with a chuckle, and attend the first hour of the banquet and see their friends before making the hike to Randolph-Macon, where Van Buskirk not only caught up with some of her travel team friends… …but she also scored two goals in her Senior Classic team’s 19-4 victory. Overall, she said, it was a really good night. “That was one of the greatest lacrosse opportuniNICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY ties I’ll take away,” Van Bus- Powhatan Girls LAX’s Ashley Van Buskirk (left) during a see VAN BUSKIRK, pg. 2B

Post 201 opens the new season strong By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – For Post 201 Baseball, it was a kickoff to remember. Strong leadership from the seniors and older players led the Powhatan-based team to an exclamation mark of an American Legion season-opener, as the Dirt Sox secured a 6-4 triumph over the powerhouse of Post 175 on Sunday, June 16. According to Post 201 Baseball, Tommy Preston pitched 3 innings for the win on the mound, PHOTO COURTESY ALI CELIBERTI while Alex Kyte, who threw 3 inAmerican Legion Post 201’s Donovan Murphy nings in relief, limited Hanover (right) receives congratulations from his to 1 hit while striking out 5. teammates, including Colby Cheatham (left), after Overall, Post 201’s pitchers held hitting a 2-run homer in the Dirt Sox’s June 20 the opposing team to 6 hits. game versus Post 284 at Shepherd Stadium.

OWHATAN – When Powhatan Girls Lacrosse head coach Laura Camp learned that she was named the 2019 Region 4A Coach of the Year, she was really taken by surprise. She was also proud to know that her fellow coaches had noticed the improvement. “I just feel humbled that they chose me as CAMP the Coach of the Year, but also just excited for our program,” Camp said, “and really thankful to all of them for their acknowledgment.” Camp this year not only coached the four-seasons-old program to its winningest season to date (9-6), but she also led the team to its firstever regional playoff victory, which came against Midlothian in a 10-9 nailbiter of a matchup in the Region 4A quarterfinals. Prior to coaching, Camp played lacrosse for Notre Dame Prep in Baltimore before competing at the Division I collegiate level for James Madison University all four years. She helped out with lacrosse in Powhatan at the rec league level before taking an assistant coaching role with the varsity team at Powhatan High School. She’s led the Powhatan varsity Indians as head coach over the past two seasons, and has also coached the 2025 Yellow Jackets South club lacrosse team for the past year. Camp wanted to create a positive learning atmosphere in which the players: felt safe, felt that they could make mistakes in order to learn from them, and felt encouraged to know that they can be great lacrosse players. She also wanted to create and enforce structure and accountability; when the players commit to the team, she wanted it so that they were committed for the whole year. “You have to work your schedules around our practice time,” was Camp’s requirement for the players. “You have to show up and be there in order for us to learn and be successful.” And the players were excited, she said. “They wanted that structure – they were looking for structure, they were looking for encouragement, they wanted to become better players and learn.” Her message to the team was: “You’re in a place where you’re going to be supported, and you’re going to be taught the correct way to play lacrosse, and I’ll be your biggest fan.” When she first worked with

All-Stars take on tourney play
By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor
ATLEE – The 8-10 Powhatan AllStars’ season didn’t end with a win or a championship. But it did end with the players enthusiastically rushing towards their head coach, Michael Keeler, with a cooler filled with water and splashing him in a gleeful, championship-like celebration at the Atlee Little League complex. Keeler chuckled right before getting showered, and, smiling, he thanked his players right after. In his postgame interview, he praised them as a good group of kids. The team had just lost two games in a row, but as Keeler pointed out, the players kept their spirits up. “They’re gonna be back,” he said. “They like to play. We like to coach them. They’re coachable. They’re a good team.” His Powhatan All-Stars team, he said,
was a team with a lot of heart – a team that practiced hard and looked forward to both of their games in the District 5 tournament. “They love the game of baseball,” Keeler said. “They were a joy to coach.” Against Huguenot in Sunday evening’s elimination game, Chandler McPherson pitched the first two innings, striking out three. He also plated a run on a walk with the bases loaded in the top of the third inning and reached base in both of his plate appearances. The Powhatan All-Stars also made multiple big catches in Sunday’s game. “We’ve got some athletes on this team,” Keeler said. “They’re not afraid to dive. They’re not afraid to jump for the ball… when you see these players play well, it’s not all coaches. It’s athletic ability. Some kids just have athletic ability, and it’s fun to watch them play.” While the Powhatan All-Stars took losses in both tournament games played – they were defeated by Atlee 8-0 on Sat-
urday in the first round and by Huguenot 11-1 in 4 innings on Sunday in the elimination round – it was good for the players to see and play against that kind of competition, because it will help them improve, Keeler said. And he added of his Powhatan players: “They don’t back down.” Powhatan’s coaches, who also include Sam Hull and Joel Eberts, love the game, love the players and help the players during practices and games, Keeler noted. “They’re the biggest cheerleaders,” he said. “It’s good to see that.” The fan support from Powhatan, he said, was strong at both tournament games. “There were a lot of fans here both yesterday and today,” Keeler said Sunday. “That was nice to see.” The Powhatan All-Stars 8-10 players were Zachary Bilthuis, Aaron Keeler, Evan Eberts, Dylan Eberts, Chandler McPherson, Seth Hull, Blake Woodley, Brody Gobble, Landon Garland, Sam Wilson, Carter Baggette and Tyler Paulette.

the third inning alone, helped by walks from Kyte, Talley, Addison Price and Trevor Waters, and hits by Ben Balisteri, Logan Smith, Josh Boelt and Murphy, according to Post 201 Baseball. Colby Cheatham earned the pitching win, no-hitting the opposing batters through two and two-thirds innings on the hill while striking out two. Reilly Dickerson threw two innings in relief and ended the game on a strikeout. The Dirt Sox took their first setback of the season on Thursday, June 20 at Colonial Heights’ Shepherd Stadium with a 13-3 loss to the Post 284 Bucs in 5 innings. Post 201, a young team overall this year, was missing around 5 players from its lineup on Thursday. “We had to ask some of the young guys to step up and play, and through the whole game, that’s what we talked about, was different situations in a game and what they needed to do,” said Post 201 head coach Eric Mead. “Those guys are in a learning phase of it.” The Dirt Sox stayed with the Bucs, tying them at 3-3, until the fourth inning, when the home team got a 3-run burst before ending the game via the 10-run mercy rule on 7 runs in the fifth. Murphy in his first at-bat of the day launched a two-

kirk said. “It was just a great time.” While the teams were randomized, Van Buskirk ended up playing with five of her former teammates. “It was amazing!” she said. “We got to catch up, see how everyone was doing with their college process, if they’re excited, nervous.” And getting to play with Powhatan High School teammate and best friend Anna Causey one final time was, for Van Buskirk, “the biggest blessing.” “It was just so cool to have that moment – that final moment together, kind of a sense of closure for us as teammates.

run homer to give Post 201 an early 2-0 lead. As the Dirt Sox transitioned from the dugout to the field in the middle of the first inning, Murphy, who won a state championship with St. Christopher’s at Shepherd in 2018, told his coach: “I’ve been waiting to hit one here for so long.” Powhatan’s Josh Boelt - one of Post 201’s younger talents whom Mead called “a phenomenal shortstop” - made two huge plays in the third inning, stopping a zipping grounder up the middle before tossing the ball to second base for an out,
and then initiating a 6-4-3 double play to pull his team out of the frame. Despite Thursday’s loss, Mead remains very excited about this season. He noted how, when everyone’s been together, the younger players have stepped up and played at the level of the older players. “We’ve got a lot of talent on this team,” he said. “We can go to our bench and bring somebody in off the bench, and we’re still bringing in a really good baseball player. It’s just a team full of really good baseball players.”
To walk on the field together and then to walk off the field together one last time, that was really awesome,” Van Buskirk said. Causey, she added, has “been nothing but uplifting and empowering every year that I’ve done lacrosse. She’s got the best spirit.” This year’s Senior Classic carried special meaning. Right before the game, two of the players on Van Buskirk’s team – Patrick Henry’s Ryann Peebles and Piper Mullins, both of whom Van Buskirk knew from travel – asked their teammates if they could tie the yellow ribbons that Peebles and Mullins provided around their cleats in memory of one of their best friends Henry Morin, who tragically lost his life in a drowning accident three weeks ago. The girls played that Senior Classic game for him. “It was very emotional and very strong,” Van Buskirk said. Play on the field began, and the score was tight at first. But Van Buskirk’s team – the White Team – eventually began to pull away from the opposing Blue Team. Players eventually got to sub into different positions that they normally wouldn’t get to try, with defenders playing on offense and vice versa. Van Buskirk herself was a little bit anxious and a little bit nervous, noticing the good
players around her. But for her, it was a matter of stepping back and realizing that there was a reason she was on that team, and that she deserved to be there just as much as everyone else. So when the second half came around, she stepped up and told the coach, ‘Hey, I can claim midfield; put me on the circle.’ She then drew two fouls and scored off both of them. Before the game, Powhatan head coach and Region 4A Coach of the Year Laura Camp – who had nominated both Causey and Van Buskirk for the Classic – wished both of her players luck. “She’s the best,” Van Buskirk said of Camp. “She’s amazing – I can’t think of anyone else who deserved Coach of the Year more than her.” Van Buskirk is continuing her lacrosse journey to the collegiate level, as she will play for the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Competing in the Senior Classic showed her the caliber of players she’ll be competing with over the next four years. “We had never played together on a team before, but as we were leaving, Piper had said that it felt like we’ve been playing for years together,” Van Buskirk added. “And everyone walked away with a lot of confidence with that team, so it gives me a sense of assurance, knowing that, even though I won’t know any of the girls that I’m playing with come this Spring at Merchant Marine Academy – as long as we have the right energy, we’ll be able to mix well.”
the team, she noticed that the players had really strong chemistry and some strong athletes – they were just lacking the needed stick skills and game IQ, as several of them were newcomers to lacrosse in general what-with the Powhatan lacrosse programs joining the VHSL level for the first time in 2016. She saw that players were relying on teammates who had played lacrosse before high school, meaning they weren’t really learning how to play as a team and play together. She knew that building up the team would take time – it wouldn’t happen overnight. When Camp first helmed the unit, the focus was on throwing and catching, on building upon the fundamentals and on getting everyone up to speed. The following year, the team started offseason a little earlier, and several of the players committed to improving their stick work. “It really showed this year because we had so many scoring threats and so many assists, which is just a huge leap and improvement upon the previous years,” Camp said. Boosting the players towards their banner year in 2019 was the confidence they attained from winning seven games in 2018. “I think they brought that excitement and that confidence into this year,” Camp said, “and worked extra hard and had more motivation and determination to improve our program and win against teams we had lost to the previous year and really show everyone that we’re getting better and our program’s improving.” The team also went into 2019 prepared, thanks to preseason strength and conditioning workouts. “We came into the season in shape and strong,” Camp said. “We didn’t have one child in the training room this year due to not being in shape. If they were in the training room, it was because they got injured in the game – it had nothing to do with their physical fitness. I’m really proud of the girls for committing in the preseason and putting in the work, because we had all of our players mostly the whole entire season.” Camp sees that the Powhatan Girls Lacrosse program is on the right track – the players just need to keep moving forward and keep doing the things they’re doing right now as far as stick work, conditioning and commitment. “I think that it just gives us momentum going into the next season,” she said, “and a little boost of confidence as well.” From Camp’s perspective, it truly takes a village to have success. She credits the combination of the parents’ support, the players’ commitment, the work of assistant coach Angie Van Buskirk and her own efforts for getting the team to where it currently stands. “I feel like it took all of us working together to have the success that we had this season,” she said. “I look forward to continuing that and creating a culture based around our team as a family. I’m really excited for the future of our program.” And she adores her players. “They each bring something different and special to the team in their own way – I would do anything for them,” Camp said. “I’m so excited for their success and I just can’t wait to get back out on the field with them again next year.”
