Board approves updated comprehensive plan By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – After almost three years of work and review, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors last week finished its update of the 2010 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan with a few lastminute changes. During its meeting on Monday, June 24, the board voted 3-1 in favor of adopting the 2019 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan, which establishes a vision of what the county should look like in 20 to 30 years. Chairwoman Angie Cabell, who represents District 3, Bill Melton, District 4, and Carson Tucker,

District 5, voted in favor of the comp plan. David Williams, District 1, voted against it and Larry Nordvig was absent. Little discussion was held on the bulk of the comprehensive plan, which has been the subject of many meetings and workshops by both the planning commission and board of supervisors, as well as other special committees. Dialogue instead focused on two changes being proposed as a result of comments made by local residents since the board last discussed the comp plan. Two open houses were organized in June to solicit feedback from members of the public and about 20 people were in attendance, planning director Andrew

Pompei said. The comments, which were in the board’s packet, overwhelmingly said those residents do not want high density housing in the county or changes to the then-current comp plan. The county also received comments from two landowners in or near the Village area about how their parcels are designated on the Future Land Use Map that is included in the comprehensive plan, he said. At the request of some board members, he presented what those changes would be. The first area was 26.2 acres between Powhatan Elementary School and the joint transportation facility. In the 2010 plan, the land was designated as Village Center, but that was changed

to Commerce Center in the draft plan presented by the planning commission in 2017. The land owner asked that it be turned back into Village Center. The second area was 46 acres on the east side of Rocky Ford Road just south of Route 13. In 2010, it was designated as Low Density Residential, which is one unit per 2 acres. In the draft at least as far back as November 2018, it was changed to Rural Preservation, which is one unit per 10 acres. The landowner requested it be changed to Rural Residential, which is one unit per 5 acres. Only two of the board members spoke see BOARD, pg. 9

POWHATAN – Every activity had the change of being hit or miss. For organizers of the first Prayerful Hands Garden Summer Camp, planning a week of activities for children on the autism spectrum involved a combination of hard work and years of experience working with children. But as the half-day program unfolded all last week at St. John Neumann Catholic Church and the volunteers running the camp interacted with the children and saw their reactions, it was a constant journey of discovery for all of them, said Karyn Hill of Powhatan, head of the camp. “They got to try a lot of new experiences and feel them out. It is funny what experience was a hit with each kid,” she said. “One of the boys loved the water sports. A little girl was playing with frogs who wouldn’t have done it earlier in the week. This morning we did yoga, and two of the boys I thought would be

POWHATAN – Work has already begun to update a 20-year-old study of Route 60 across the length of six counties from Powhatan to Amherst. After several years of unsuccessful bills patroned by Sen. Mark Peake, R-22, to update a 1999 study, the Virginia Department of Transportation recently authorized the project to take another look at the 103-mile corridor, said Darrel Johnson, rural planning program manager. The primary goal of this study is to provide localities with cost effective innovative intersection design improvements that are tailored for submission as SMART Scale applications. In addition to recommended intersection improvements, this study will also perform a safety analysis for three high crash density segments as well as a high level multi-lane analysis to determine how many lanes are necessary to maintain current level of service now and in the future. “The primary purpose is to identify safety and capacity issues along the corridor, making it so it would be safer for when economic development comes and being able to control access management so you are not having a stoplight at every entrance along the corridor. We want the corridor to be able to move smoothly,” Johnson. A consultant has already started the project and is conducting traffic counts and putting together current conditions, he said. Those findings will be presented in two citizen information meetings being held this month. In Powhatan, a meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 24 at see VDOT, pg. 9

Board allows golf carts to drive in Village area By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People traveling in Powhatan Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Village area will soon be sharing the road with drivers running the roads in golf carts. During its meeting on Monday, June 24, four members of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to approve an ordinance that allows for golf carts and utility vehicles to be operated on certain public roads in the Village area. Larry Nordvig, who represents District 2, was absent. County administrator Ted Voorhees said that there are citizens who live in the Courthouse area and have an interest in operating these vehicles to get around. The arrangement can more commonly be seen at resorts, gated communities or golf clubs. Per state law, using these vehicles on public roads is only allowed where the posted speed limit is 25 mph or less by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), he said. That means the ordinance would essentially be used by people along Old Buckingham Road from the roundabout in front of Scottville to where the 25 mph zone ends and in the side streets along the way. In addition to Old Buckingham Road, the ordinance

Keep Your Family Smiling by Becoming Part of Ours

specifically mentions interior roads in Scottville (General Scott Boulevard, Bienvenue Place, Old Homestead Place, Grove Tavern Lane, St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Village Way, William Dance Way, Maxey Store Place and Carter Trent Lane); side roads located in the Powhatan Village Area (Yates Lane, Marion Harland Lane, Tilman Road, Sigourney Street and Rosson Road), and Skaggs Road from Tilman Road to Old Buckingham Road. County attorney Tom Lacheney pointed out that the speed limit must be posted at 25 mph lower on a road for the ordinance to apply to it. While the four board members present at the meeting seemed generally in favor of the ordinance, there was also hesitation when discussion turned to the ordinance only applying to roads where there is a 25 mph speed limit. In particular, there was concern that the 25 mph zone ends before Mann Road since the Powhatan County Public Library, Elizabeth Randolph Lewis YMCA, and Fighting Creek Park are all popular destinations. The posted speed limit past that point is 35 mph. Bill Melton, District 4, said he had requested a speed study by VDOT to try to get the speed limit on Mann Road lowered but had been unsuccessful. Melton initially suggested waiting to see if VDOT

Owner of Powhatan auto repair shop pleads guilty in federal odometer tampering case By Frank Green

From September 2010 to June 2018, Eubank conspired with at least one other person to reset the odometers to false, lower readings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Individuals brought vehicles, or vehicle instrument clusters containing odometers, to Company 1 and requested that Eubank change the odometers to lower mileage readings,â&#x20AC;? the government alleged. The only co-conspirator identified in court papers is Lawson Basnight, 49, of Norfolk, who pleaded guilty to the same charge last year and was sentenced to 18 months behind bars. Basnight was also ordered to pay more than $403,000 in restitution â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the difference in price caused by the false readings plus, in some cases, unexpected repair costs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to more than 50 victims. Basnight admitted running the scam from September 2010 through October 2016. While the charging document against Eubank referred to multiple odometers, it only cited one specific case: On Feb. 25, 2016, Basnight brought a 2009 Ford F-150 with 165,000 miles on it and Eubank used an electronic tool to reset the

might be willing to work with the county about lowering the speed. He worried about residents driving carts farther than legally allowed. However, Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, said it might take the county passing this ordinance and getting the golf carts started on using the roads to have VDOT consider extending that area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our discussions with VDOT, they said that in doing speed studies, one reason they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend one now is they cannot in a speed study consider a potential future scenario. So they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider that there might be golf carts there. If you approve this section now, then when they do a speed study, it will consider the fact that there are golf carts,â&#x20AC;? he said. David Williams, District 1, asked how the county would communicate to that they are not allowed to drive golf carts past the 35 mph zone. Chairwoman Angie Cabell, District 3, said it would take communication, but the Sherriff Brad Nunnally was confident his office could handle it, and she would like to see traffic slowing down in the Village. Nobody spoke during the public hearing on the ordinance. The four board members present then passed it unanimously. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

A Powhatan County man was recently convicted for his role in a scheme that rolled back the odometers on more than 50 vehicles, fraudulently boosting the value of each one by as much as $10,000. Michael Carey Eubank, 52, who owns an automotive electronics repair shop in Powhatan, pleaded guilty on Monday, June 24 to conspiracy to alter a motor vehicle odometer and faces up to five years in prison when sentenced Oct. 9 by U.S. District Judge John A. Gibney Jr. A two-page criminal charge filed June 10 alleged that Eubankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company website advertised services that included â&#x20AC;&#x153;odometer reprogramming or re-setting.â&#x20AC;? It also stated that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mileage proof [is] required, odometer tampering is a federal crime.â&#x20AC;? The charge only identified the company as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Company 1.â&#x20AC;? But Eubank told Gibney on Monday that his company is Advanced Auto Electronics and was formerly located in Midlothian.

odometer to 54,900 miles. It was unclear Monday if Eubank participated in lowering the odometers of all of the vehicles in Basnightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheme and if the same restitution list of victims and losses will be sought in Eubankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case. Jacqueline M. Blaesi-Freed, a trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consumer protection branch, told Gibney on Monday that the losses were determined by the price Basnight paid for the vehicle and the price ultimately paid by the victims who purchased vehicles at fraudulently inflated prices. She said that in some cases, unexpected repair bills were added to determine the loss incurred by a victim and in others, where the price difference could not be determined, an average loss figure of $7,868.58 was used â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the same average figure used for Basnight. In Basnightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, the false mileage readings on the altered odometers and fraudulent titles were as much as 110,000 miles less than the vehiclesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; actual mileage, see TAMPERING, pg. 10

Democratic party nominates candidate Contributed Report Kathryn Waycaster, chair of the 65th Democratic Legislative District Committee, has announced Dr. Mike Asip, a career educator, is the Democratic nominee to oppose Lee Ware in the House of Delegates District 65 race. Waycaster said, “We are so pleased and excited that Dr. Asip has stepped up to run in this important race. At the time of our initial process, we didn’t yet have a candidate, deferring the decision to the Legislative District Com-

mittee. After thoughtful consideration and encouragement by many democrats, Dr. Mike Asip has decided to run. We could not be more thrilled.” Asip responded, “I am not a politician, and I hadn’t imagined running for office, but I look around our communities and know we need representation that will stand up for affordable, accessible health care and strong public schools. All Virginians should have access to quality health care at an affordable price, with chronic and pre-existing conditions covered. Prescription drug

prices simply must be lowered so no family has to think twice about whether to get needed medications. “All children in Virginia need outstanding public schools preparing them for college or for good-paying jobs. It shouldn’t matter whether they live in Powhatan, Chesterfield, Goochland, Fluvanna, Fairfax or Tazewell,” he said. “I am going to the General Assembly to make a significant, positive difference in the lives of our families and our children,” Asip concluded.

Cumberland County Cumberland honors 2019 Teachers of the Year Contributed Report Each year schools across Virginia participate in the Mary V. Bicouvaris Teacher of the Year Program. All public and accredited nonpublic schools are eligible to participate in the program, which is designed to honor teachers who represent the best in teaching in the Commonwealth of Virginia, as well as the nation. According to guidelines, the program is open to all teachers PreK-12 who possess a current, renewable Virginia teaching license; who are employed in a Virginia public or accredited nonpublic school; and who possess dedication, knowledge, and skill in the teaching field. Each school selects a Teacher of the Year, who then competes for the Division Teacher of the Year. Tiffany Hurt was selected to be the Division Teacher of the Year, and she will be representing Cumberland in the competition for Region 8 Teacher of the Year for 2020. All three teachers were recognized at the May meeting of

the Cumberland County School Board. Amanda Ingoe Stoltzfus was named the 2019 Teacher of the Year for Cumberland Elementary School (CES). She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education as well as a Masters degree in reading from Radford University. She began teaching at CES in 2012. During the past seven years, she has taught second and third grades and has served as a reading specialist. Stoltzfus has been praised for building relationships with students and for identifying the most effective means to engage students and help them realize significant growth in reading skills. As the reading specialist, she has systematically collected and provided analysis of reading data and growth for all students so that her team can provide targeted remediation. Tiffany Nicole Hurt was named the 2019 Teacher of the Year for Cumberland Middle School (CMS). Although Hurt began her teaching career at

CES, she currently teaches at CMS as part of the sixth-grade team. She has served on the CMS VTSS/PBIS committee since its origination, working closely with administrators and colleagues to establish school expectations and to provide training and support to create a positive school environment. Hurt is a co-advisor of the CMS National Junior Honor Society, where she encourages members to do well academically and teaches them the importance of good citizenship by getting the members involved in projects such as the Thanksgiving food drive to benefit Delma’s Pantry and the Angel Tree adoptions for the Christmas Mother. She also believes in life-long learning and this year participated in the CUCPS Leadership Academy. Rebecca Lynn Haigh was named 2019 Teacher of the Year for Cumberland High School (CHS). She received a Master of Arts degree in English from Longwood University. She is a 12-year teaching veteran, and

Bikers against child abuse CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Bikers Against Child Abuse, Inc. (B.A.C.A.) recently visited Cumberland County. B.A.C.A. exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children. It is a body of bikers who empower children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live. They stand ready to lend support to wounded friends by involving them with an established, united organization. They work in conjunction with local and state officials who are already in place to protect children. They desire to send a clear message to all involved with the abused child that this child is part of their organization, and that they are prepared to lend physical and emotional support to them by affiliation, and their physical presence. They stand at the ready to shield these children from further abuse. They do not condone the use of violence or physical force in any manner; however, if circumstances arise such that they are the only obstacle preventing a child from further abuse, they stand ready to be that obstacle.

everything in a safe,” she said. Fortunately, her family’s story had a happy ending. For whatever reason, her son came to her and her husband and said he needed help; he wanted to get clean. They hesitated. In her words, he had violated every trust they could imagine. But they took a chance, and it worked. He went through treatment successfully and built a new life for himself, including serving several years in the United States Air Force before deciding to go into the private sector. In addition to being a mother, Santiago was a registered clinical psychologist at the time her son was going through this horrible time in his life. As her story continued to unfold past when her son had turned his life around, she talked about how she still carried a tremendous amount of guilt. Why didn’t she see the signs when he was spiraling? Why did she enable him when he was failing in school? How could a child raised in a good, God-fearing home have gotten so off course? When she asked him this, he looked at her and said, “Mama, nothing. Because it wasn’t about you, Mama. It wasn’t about what you and dad did. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to reach out for help when my heart was broken after (my girlfriend) died.” Santiago said she had thought about what she would say to the group – whether to approach it as a clinical psychologist with facts and figures or to share her own story. I am glad she chose the latter because of what she said at the end of her address. Who knows, maybe someone reading this today needs to hear it, too. “I wanted to give you all hope.

N E W L AW S E F F E C T I V E J U LY 1 (Editor’s note: R.E. “Trip” Chalkley III, commonwealth’s attorney for Hanover County, submitted the following information about laws that went into effect on Monday.) As always, July 1, 2019, will see new laws and amendments to existing statutes take effect in the Commonwealth. The following is a summary of those new statutes and amendments to existing laws that I feel are of interest to my fellow Virginians. Should the reader have any questions about the laws noted herein or any statute not mentioned, please contact me at 365-6186. The definition of “adequate shelter” for certain animals was amended to require the provision of shelter that, during hot weather, is shaded and does not readily conduct heat and, during cold weather, has a windbreak at its entrance and provides sufficient bedding material. It is now required that in order to meet the mandate that an animal be given adequate space, a tether must be at least three (3) times the length of the animal or ten (10) feet in length, whichever is greater and not cause injury or pain, not weigh more than onetenth of the animal’s body weight, or have weights or heavy objects attached to it. Agricultural animals are exempted. An amendment provides that any person who tortures, willfully inflicts inhumane injury or pain not connected with bona fide scientific or medical experimentation, or cruelly and unnecessarily beats, maims, or mutilates any dog or cat that is a companion animal, whether belonging to him or another, and as a direct result causes serious bodily injury to such animal, is guilty of a Class 6 felony (up to five years in prison or up to 12 months in jail and/or a $1,000 fine). Previously the animal

had to die to subject the offender to a felony punishment. The trial court is now empowered to defer proceedings in the adjudication of a dog as “dangerous.” The court is required to place conditions upon the owner and, upon a violation, the court may impose existing penalties. If the conditions are fulfilled, the court shall dismiss the proceedings against the animal and owner. It will be a Class 1 misdemeanor (up to 12 months in jail and/or a $2,500 fine) for any person to knowingly, with the intent to mislead a law enforcement agency, cause another to give a false report to any law enforcement official by publicly simulating any crime against the person or crime against property. Any person who buys and removes timber from a landowner’s property is guilty of theft should he fail to pay by the date specified in a written agreement. If there is no written agreement, payment is to be made within 60 days of removal. A buyer’s failure to pay after the deadline within 10 days of receiving a demand for payment shall be prima facie evidence of intent to violate the statute. One guilty of such theft is subject to the penalty for a Class 1 misdemeanor, and also, shall be ordered to pay three times the value of the timber removed. Contempt of court for failure to appear may be punished summarily by fine or incarceration of up to 10 days. Any person who orally makes a threat to kill or do bodily injury against any health care provider who is engaged in the performance of his duties in a hospital or in an emergency room on the premises of any clinic or other facility rendering emergency medical care is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. Certain exceptions are provided.

The definition of illegal gambling is amended to clarify that the making, placing, or receipt of any bet or wager of money or other consideration or thing of value shall include the purchase of a product, internet access, or other thing made in exchange for a chance to win a prize, stake, or other consideration or thing of value by means of the operation of a gambling device, regardless of whether the chance to win may be offered in the absence of a purchase. In addition to current law, forgery may be now prosecuted in any county or city where an issuer, acquirer, or account holder suffered a financial loss. Prosecution for offenses related to credit cards may now also occur in the county or city where the cardholder resides. The minimum age to purchase or possess tobacco products, nicotine vapor products and alternative nicotine products was increased from 18 years of age to 21 years. There is an exception for active military personnel. These products may be sold from a vending machine if there is proper notice of the age requirement, the machine is located in a site not open to the general public and generally not accessible to those under 21. Financial institutions may refuse to execute a transaction, delay a transaction or refuse to disburse funds if the staff believes, in good faith the transaction may in, some manner, involve financial exploitation of an aged or incapacitated adult or makes, or has actual knowledge, that another person has made, in good faith, a report to Social Services or adult protective services hotline a belief that the transaction may involve financial exploitation. Any person, over the age of 18, con-

victed of capital murder of a law enforcement officer or certain other public safety officials shall be sentenced to no less than a mandatory minimum term of confinement for life. A person convicted of a drug offense in another state may petition the general district court where he or she resides for a restricted driver’s license for limited purposes. No such restricted license shall permit the operation of a commercial vehicle. A driver’s failure to move into a nonadjacent lane on a highway with at least four lanes when approaching a stationary vehicle displaying flashing, blinking, or alternating blue, red, or amber lights, or, if changing lanes would be unreasonable or unsafe, to proceed with due caution and maintain a safe speed, may be charged with reckless driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor. Currently, such an offense is a traffic offense, if it is a first offense, is a traffic infraction, punishable by a fine of up to $250. With certain exceptions, any person holding a handheld personal communications device in his hand while driving in a highway work zone is subject to a mandatory $250 fine. A private or religious school is now allowed to employ a school security officer and to authorize said officer to carry a firearm in the performance of his duties. The criteria for carrying a firearm are the same for a school security officer employed by a local school board.

Teens, Treatment, Trends, and Tactics.” About 100 people attended the free event held at Powhatan High School, which was less than organizers were hoping for but still a good turnout, said Robin Pentecost, behavioral health and wellness supervisor at Goochland Powhatan Community Services. The attendees included employees or volunteers from schools, churches, government agencies, nonprofits, and parents. “I think it’s a good mix of people,” Pentecost said. The program started with a powerful and personal message from keynote speaker, Damaris Santiago, clinical director of operations at Harbor Point. She shared the emotional story of her son’s drug addiction at age 16 after his girlfriend was killed in a hit and run accident and he was devastated and acted out. “My son changed from day to night in a split second,” she said. She talked about her family’s anguish not only at witnessing his downward spiral but the pain of being victim’s of his drug abuse as he stole from them and constantly lied to them. She also struggled with her predisposition as a mother to enable her son’s behavior. As a licensed clinical psychologist, she also had to deal with her own guilt and overcoming her prejudices about the roles of parents when it came to drug addiction in youth. Many months later, Santiago said her son came to his parents and asked for their help to get clean. Despite the hurt he caused, they did help him, and he was able to turn his life around and go on to a healthy, successful life. Pentecost said the organizers invited Santiago and asked her to share her story because people wanted to hear a story of hope. “They were hugging her and thanking her for sharing her personal story. We needed someone who could show us that people recover and that they get better,” she said. She added that Santia-

go’s story humanized the program and set the tone for the day. “We all have our struggles and our stories and this was one of success,” Pentecost said. Santiago’s speech was followed by two sets of breakout sessions with multiple topics to choose from for people interacting with youth of all age groups. All of the sessions were aimed at equipping adults with information to

5-percent nicotine content, the same as a pack of cigarettes. Nicotine lowers impulse controls and harms growing brains, which are still developing until age 25, she said. It is also highly addictive. Due to the tobacco session, organizers are already having conversations about how to publicize the fact that a new law that went into effect July 1, 2019, makes it

help them assess situations to make sound decisions and point them to resources that could help further. Detective Austin Schwartz led a session called “Internet and Social Media Safety” to show adults how to find resources on monitoring their child’s online activity and educating them to make wise decisions. He talked about issues such as sexting, which involves sending nude or semi-nude photos of

themselves; types of cyber bullying, which range in severity from trolling to identity theft and physical threats; predators using video games to gain a youth’s trust and exploit him or her; creating an online reputation that could be harmful with job searches and college admittance, and predators catfishing with the aim of exploiting a minor. “When I was growing up, my parents were wor-

ried about the stranger down the street. We weren’t connected in the world like we are today,” Schwartz said. “Now, the stranger down the street isn’t all we need to be worried about. We can be exploited, abused and harmed by a stranger hundreds and thousands of miles awhile thanks to the internet and social media and the influence it has on our lives today.” (For more information about internet safety and youth, see story on right side of Page 8). In another session, Sarah Birckhead, regional coordinator of the Tobacco Control Program for the Virginia Department of Health, educated people about JUULs, vaping, nicotine and ways they are affecting today’s youth. The e-cigarettes work by using a battery to convert liquid nicotine and other flavoring into an inhalable vapor with no burning of tobacco, she said. Puffing activates the battery-powered heating device, which vaporizes the liquid in the cartridge. Birckhead pointed out trends such as the alarming surge in e-cigarette use from 2017 to 2018. One study she cited saw a rise in 12th-graders who reported vaping in the past 30 days increasing from 11 percent in 2017 to 20.8 percent in 2018. She particularly focused on the JUUL, which has a sleek, slender design that makes it easy to hide and appeals to young people’s affinity for high-tech devices, she said. All JUULs contain nicotine, with the original having a

illegal for someone under 21 to buy or use tobacco products, Pentecost said. Other programs held during the day included a “Revive!” session, which offered training on how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose emergency with the administration of naloxone; recognizing the signs of mental health and substance abuse in young people; understanding the effects of adverse childhood experiences; and understanding normal behaviors for infants and toddlers. Throughout the program, guests could visit the “Hidden in Plain Sight” exhibit in the library to learn what kind of tools are being used to help young people hide risky behaviors. The sheriff’s office walked people through this display. The program also included a number of vendors in the fields of counseling, mental health, youth services and more to help those in attendance make good connections. Pentecost said she received feedback from people who attended the event and it varied widely. One person said it helped know where to go for information and what to share with colleagues, friends and family members. Another was shocked by the “Hidden in Plain Sight” exhibit and how many ways there were to hide risky behavior. Yet another said one of the presentations changed his or her mind about how to talk to children about drug misuse and creating a culture of accountability.

Tips for

SAFETY ONLINE for youth

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – During a recent program about giving adults information and resources on how to understand and be aware of risky youth behaviors, one of the programs focused on internet and social media safety. Detective Austin Schwartz led the session, which was offered as part of the “Hidden in Plain Sight: Toddlers to Teens, Treatment, Trends, and Tactics” program on Wednesday, June 26. He offered adults in attendance information on trends to be aware of and resources that could be of uses. Some of the issues that can put youth at risk he addressed included: Sexting – Schwartz cited a study that had found that 31 percent of teens reported having received a nude or seminude photo from someone else. About two-thirds of these photos are sent between a couple initially, but many are later shared, especially if they break up. Sexting can escalate into cyber bullying or even illegal harassment after a relationship breaks up. Schwartz also warned of the issue of these photos, which are usually of minors, being transmitted, which is a criminal offense. Cyber bullying – This offense involves bullying through internet applications and technologies such as instant messaging, social networking sites, and cell phones. Common forms include flaming and trolling (sending or posting hostile message to inflame emotions); happy-slapping (recording someone being harassed or bullied and posting it online); identity theft/impersonation (hijacking someone’s online account to send or post incriminating or humiliating content); photo shopping (doctoring digital images so they are compromising or embarrassing); physical threats, and rumor spreading. Video games – Predators have been known to use video games to target children. They pose as other children, teens or individuals children might trust to start a conversation that may lead to them asking for personal information or even for sexual solicitation. These games are often designed for young individuals and allow open chat with complete strangers whose age is never verified. Social media/apps – Among young people, the most popular app is Snapchat, a multimedia messaging app. While Powhatan hasn’t had a huge number of sex exploitation and child pornography cases, in the ones it has had, Snapchat has featured prominently, Schwartz said. The world of apps is wide and constantly expanding, including some that may put young people at risk. Omegle is a free online chat website that promotes chatting anonymously with strangers and even states on its website that

predators have been known to use it. Whisper is an anonymous app where the creators promote sharing secrets and meeting new people. Kik is a messaging app that has built-in apps and web content that would be filtered on a home computer and has been known to be used by predators. Calculator% was an app that had a symbol that looked like a calculator application but contained a secret photo and video vault that let young people hide photos from their parents. They could access the content with a secret passcode. It was removed by Apple from its app store amid a police investigation but several similar apps have taken its place. Secure your three P’s – Passwords, personal information, and privacy need to be guarded at all times when it comes to online sharing. Be familiar with the privacy policies and settings of any social media application you use. Why are children targeted online? – Children are naturally curious, impressionable, feel invincible, easily manipulated, need attention and affection from others, want to defy their parents, and often know more about the internet than their parents. All of these factors put them at risk when engaging in online activity, which makes them vulnerable to predators. Filtering/blocking software and hardware – In addition to knowing your young people’s passwords and regularly monitoring what content they have on their devices, Schwartz recommended researching software or hardware that can help filter harmful sites, restrict internet access, monitor online activity, and protect personal information. Online reputations – Schwartz stressed talking with young people about the effects that putting certain content online can have on their life now and later. Content may show up during job searches and college application screenings that can negatively impact them. Even content a young person believes had been deleted can often still be found. “You really need a mindset of once it’s up there, it’s up there and it will be out in the world forever,” he said. Some of the resources he recommended in his presentation included: National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (www.missingkids. com); www.fosi.org/ good-digital-parenting; https://icac.scag.gov/digital-parenting/; NetSmartz (www.netsmartz.org), and www.commonsensemedia.org.

Powhatan Middle School, 4135 Old Buckingham Road. Another meeting will also be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 17 at Buckingham County Administration Complex Auditorium, 13380 James Anderson Highway, Buckingham, VA 23921. The meeting content will be the same for both, so people can attend whichever is most convenient for them. The purpose of the meetings is to give citizens an opportunity to learn more about the study, meet with VDOT representatives and provide input. These meetings will be held in open-house format and will include a formal presentation at the start. Citizens may provide oral and written comments at the meeting or submit them by Aug. 3 to Darrel Johnson, VDOT Project Manager, 1401 East Broad St., Richmond VA 23219 or via email to Darrel. Johnson@VDOT.Virginia.gov. Reference “Route 60 Corridor Study” in the subject line of any e-mail correspondence. Citizens are highly encouraged to give their input at these public meetings or reaching out to VDOT and then by attending another set of meetings that will be scheduled to present possible solutions to traffic issues based on the study, said Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator. “It is important for people to see what is being studied. But also, a lot of these people drive and use these intersections every day. So while we have smart people looking at solutions, there is no substitution for sitting at a stoplight every single morning and seeing how it actually func-

about these changes before the vote: Melton was for passing the comp plan with these changes included and Williams against it. Williams immediately voiced his displeasure with the introduction of the changes, saying the board was once again doing so after the public meetings. He said the process is “flawed” since not everyone who brought a requested change to the county had their needs met. Additionally, he raised issue with citizens not being able to see what changes were being considered since there was no map on display at the meeting. “The people aren’t even seeing what is being considered to be voted on yet again. This shouldn’t be happening,” he said. He reiterated his position after the public hearing, talking again about the county’s ratio of 92 percent residential to 8 percent commercial. He also talked extensively about the county’s finite water resources, saying there is not enough planning being done for future needs. The county is dependent on Chesterfield County for its water, which currently allows up to 572,000 gallons per day. However, with a good portion of that already allotted and two large residential communities coming up for review, he

tions and where the issues are. So I think people could also propose their own solutions,” he said. While this is a regional study that will be looking at a 103-mile corridor, part of the parameters are to specifically study 10 intersections – seven of which are located in Powhatan County, Schardein said. In Powhatan County, the study will look at Route 60’s intersections with Red Lane, South Creek One, Batterson Road (East). New Dorset Road, Batterson Road (West), Dorset Road, and Maidens Road. The study will also look at Route 15 (Sprouse’s Corner) and Route 24 (Mt Rush Hwy) in Buckingham County and 29 Interchange in Amherst County. According to a project summary from Michael Baker International, the consultant for the project, it “includes the analysis of 10 intersections with recommendations, evaluating the operations of two-lane segments west of US 522, analyzing possible passing lane sections, and reviewing the safety of a few segments along US 60. For the two-lane segments between US 522 and the Town of Amherst, we will first perform a multilane analysis.” Both Schardein and Johnson confirmed that the study will also take into account the proposed truck traffic related to Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility in Cumberland County, most of which is expected to come through Powhatan on its way to and from other locations. Route 60 is the major corridor for people in Powhatan to get in and out of the county, whether that is commuting to work or visiting some of the other amenities to the east, Schardein said. But added to that are the localities to

the west experiencing growth who use Route 60 to travel east to the Richmond region and beyond. VDOT identified some of the intersections that needed to be studied, but it also took some suggestions from the participating localities, so staff suggested some of them, he said. While he didn’t speak to why the other localities had fewer intersections on the list, he said the reason Powhatan has more is because of the predominant traffic going to and from the Richmond region. “If you go from generally more rural west to Powhatan, each county progressively gets a little more dense and adds their own traffic. So by the time you get here, you’ve got the traffic from not just us but numerous other localities. And because of our proximity to the Richmond region, we’ve had more growth than some of those other localities and are facing some more pressure,” he said. “If you look at the traffic volumes and the issues created by them, it makes sense why Powhatan has more.” Schardein said he didn’t hear objections from other localities, likely because finding solutions to traffic problems in Powhatan generally would be helpful to them as their people need to get in and out of the region. “For a lot of them that means coming through Powhatan. So it helps their residents and probably helps them be more attractive to industry as well if people can get in and out easily,” he said.

is concerned about the county exceeding its water needs. He also pointed out the issues with increasing the traffic because of more residential development on busy roads. Melton said the 2019 Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the board’s vision statement, pointing to lines such as “provide diverse housing options to complement the single-family uses that will continue to be prevalent in rural areas.” He also pointed to the goal of making sure the county has a land use pattern dominated by preserved rural character and pointed out that the updated comprehensive plan went from having 92.5 percent rural areas (the version presented by the planning commission in 2017) to 95 percent. The other 5 percent is growth areas. This version of the comprehensive plan also meets the goal to have a “diverse range of housing that provides living opportunities for residents at all stages of their life.”

nomic opportunity and have “quality, not quantity, residential.” “The citizens would rather focus on paying off the large percentage of debt that was put upon us than to compound it with the residential infrastructure changes that you are proposing,” she said. She also specifically raised issue with the county exceeding its water supply and the financial impacts and strain on the infrastructure of emphasizing residential over commercial. Two employees spoke from Walton, which owns or manages 74 acres on the south side of Anderson Highway in the Route 60 Corridor East that was Village Residential in the 2010 plan but was changed to Economic Opportunity in the current draft. Edward Fleming said the company sees this property “as somewhere where you can have a high-quality, low-density master plan that would allow for a residential community.” But the comprehensive plan, which is supposed to be a broad swath “has really turned into, unfortunately, drawing lines based on parcel lines. And that is not the philosophy you should take.” Doing that makes the board vulnerable to accusations they do things for some landowners but not others. “You have put me in a position where we are

My ability to develop this property actually is being taken away from us,” he said, urging the board not to adopt the plan as is. Adam Morman, also with Walton, said he was surprised to hear of two properties being changed the day of the vote. His company’s plan has been going through the county process for more than a year and has seen its property change along the way a few times. He said he hoped the board would consider a request to change it back to Village Residential or Village Center even if they decided to put limits on the allowed mix. Kathryn Waycaster said the question before the county is how to manage growth in a way that retains Powhatan’s rural character while providing diverse housing options in a fiscally responsible manner to our senior citizens, young folks, and those who want to live in Powhatan without the responsibility of maintaining property. She said the 2019 Comprehensive Plan is a wellthought out plan that increases the county’s rural acreage and smartly designates areas where there is existing infrastructure for a diverse range of housing options, economic opportunities, and commerce.

plan provides a “balance of business and residential uses in a fiscally sustainable manner” and reduces traffic in the county. The plan represents a middle ground and is a “thoughtful way forward for development in our county.” Jim Carver said he is a proponent of returning the comprehensive plan to the preUDA requirements. He also supported the suggested change to the 26.2-acre property. Mike Asip also sup-

ported the comprehensive plan passing that night because it balances the need to maintain rural character while allowing growth in clusters around the county to support economic growth. However, he suggested the board pass the plan as it currently is and then consider whether to amend it to include the changes proposed at that meeting.

Father Walter Lewis, center, was the one who first suggested the summer camp for children on the autism spectrum held at St. John Neumann Catholic Church. The camp had five children in its first year, including these four little boys, and one camera-shy little girl.

with a parent who wanted his or her child to have the camp experience but couldn’t afford to pay several hundred dollars for it. The camp had a cost of $100 fee, but that was just to help cover some of the costs, Lewis said. It was only possible because upwards of 30 volunteers from teens to adults gave their time to plan and execute it. In addition to several teachers with 20 plus years of experience, each of the campers had an assigned teenage buddy, some of whom are also on the autism spectrum. Bon Secours event sent over student nurses to help and observe the camp. “It is a radically different experience. It really took people who understand the autism experience to make this happen,” Lewis said. “You’ve really got to be able to move with where they are and engage them.” The church is in the second year of building up its community garden, so Lewis said he wanted that to be incorporated into what the children would experience. But overall the goal was just to provide them with a fun time at camp with new experiences, he said. “I love the moments when you see the breakthrough – doing yoga and getting it or saying ‘I don’t want to go home’ or trying a muffin with strawberry jam made from the garden. You know their world has gone from enclosed to a little bit larger, and that was a joy to watch,” Lewis said. To beat the summer heat, each morning usually started with a different activity in the Prayerful Hands Community Gar-

and Basnight netted as much as $10,000 in profit for each vehicle sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Basnight found highmileage vehicles online, at times posing as a usedcar dealer or using an alias. When he bought the vehicles, he told the sellers not to fill out the assignment section of the title. “After defendant Lawson W. Basnight purchased the vehicles, a coconspirator acting at his direction disconnected, reset, and altered the vehicles’ odometers to reflect inaccurate lower mileage readings,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum con-

den. Campers played in the dirt and learned about different kinds of soil, Hill said. One day they had a treasure hunt that encouraged them to explore the garden. Another day they created a watering herb garden by planting herbs commonly used on pizza. “We want them to have this garden experience of being able to grow things and see what happens. It connects them to the real world experience,” Hill said. They had daily art projects, which included making a cookie cutter bird feeder, sand art, painting rocks, coffee can planters, photo frames, and more. They made schedules, but they weren’t fanatical about sticking to them. “You have to be flexible because sometimes kids want to participate and sometimes they don’t. That’s why each kid has a buddy – so they can go off for a few minutes if they need to,” said Hill, whose 15-year-old son Gabe, who is also on the spectrum, acted as a buddy during the camp. Organizers built in safe spaces for the children to help them transition between activities or rest awhile if they became overwhelmed. They used a homemade outdoor sensory rug in the sensory relaxation garden where the children could take off their shoes and walk across a rectangular box with different surfaces, such as sand, rocks, wooden slats, or plastic tubes. Inside the church was a quiet room with different size exercise balls and other balls where they could go to relax. “Being able to bounce and roll on their stomachs

on the balls calms them when they get stressed out. The sensory garden rug in the sensory garden is the same,” Hill said. Toward the end of camp each day, the children ate lunch at a picnic table outside. Usually included was at least one item that had ingredients raised in the community garden. Robin Swan of Powhatan brought her son Ethan, 8, to the camp starting on Wednesday and said it was wonderful to have a camp for children specifically on the autism spectrum. She didn’t know what to expect going in; she was just hoping he would have fun with the activities. Ethan loves being outdoors, so the sensory garden and playing with bubbles were some of his favorite activities, she said. “It meant a lot. I think it is nice to see more opportunities for autistic children to spread awareness of autism and to let them be engaged in things they love,” she said. The week ended with a ceremony on Friday, complete with each child receiving a special certificate. Hill said the group was small for the first year, but they plan to offer it again next summer and hope it will grow. The small size helped as they worked through the week and learned what worked and didn’t for the children. Overall, she is extremely pleased with how it turned out. “It has been a great experience for kids and adults. We have had as much fun as the kids,” she said.

cerning Basnight. In response to questions from Gibney on Monday, Eubank said he altered the odometers for $125 a piece and that Basnight usually just brought the unit and left it at the front counter. Basnight prepared title applications and other documents, writing in false odometer readings in the assignment section of the title. At times, he used unwitting people to obtain the titles and sell the vehicles to an unidentified “major used car retailer.” “This was a long-running, well-thought-out scheme that [Basnight] ceased only after being caught by law enforcement,” prosecutors complained.

Prosecutors said the scheme not only led to unexpected repair and maintenance costs to the victims but also jeopardized driver safety. Eubank, who had no prior criminal record, was allowed to remain free pending his sentencing hearing. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that more than 450,000 vehicles are sold each year in the U.S. with false odometer readings, leading to losses of more than $1 billion to consumers. The NHTSA has established a hotline to handle odometer fraud complaints at (888) 327-4236 (TTY for individuals with hearing impairments: (800) 424-9153).

Brock to lead BSH Football as new head coach Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

ary Brock found his way back to Blessed Sacrament Huguenot through Shawn Pickett. “I’m gonna blame him for everything,” Brock said with a laugh. Pickett, who in 2018 became BSH Football’s new head coach, reached out to Brock around February of last year with the goal of bringing him onto the coaching staff. Pickett was coming from King William – where Brock had also coached – and a couple of guys there had told Pickett that Brock was still interested in running the Single

Wing and Double Wing. “He wanted someone like that,” Brock said of Pickett. The two coaches met one day at River City Diner. They were supposed to meet for 30 minutes and get an idea of what the other was about. “It ended up being about four hours,” Brock said with a chuckle. “We had a lot of common ground and we both were looking for the same thing.” Brock, who was at J.R. Tucker High School at that time, told Pickett, “I pretty much figured I’d just ride off into the sunset and retire from there.” But talking with Pickett intrigued him a little bit, and Brock asked for the weekend to think about it.

Just a few days later, Brock told Pickett: “I love the place and love the idea of what you want to do with it… I’m on board.” Brock joined head coach PickBROCK ett’s staff as his offensive coordinator… …and helped lead BSH Football to its best season since 2013 with a winning record of 7-3 and an appearance in the playoffs last fall. Now, Brock is taking on a new role: as head football coach of the BSH Knights.

Pickett had come to him after the season, saying that he wanted to spend more time with daughters, ages 5 and 2, and that he felt like he wasn’t getting enough chances to be with them as they were growing up. Pickett was able to take a job in the City of Richmond at Boushall Middle School. He asked Brock if he’d be interested in taking over. “You’re kidding me,” Brock said; but Pickett, he recalled, replied that he was dead serious, and he had already recommended him to Athletic Director James Poore. “I said: Well...I can’t shy away from a challenge,” Brock said, “and I love this place too much to think about see BROCK, pg. 2B

Rileigh De Weese rounds the bases after homering in a 2019 postseason game.

Murphy homers, Post 201 Seniors shine By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - With each at-bat, Donovan Murphy’s rocketing hits to right field flew higher and higher. The first was a grounder that skipped once but zipped deep into the green to lift Post 201 into the lead. The second was a double that the St. Christopher’s alum slammed to the fence NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY to send Alex Balisteri across home plate. The third was the charmer.

going to happen, and Murphy rounded the bases after clobbering the full-count pitch for a solo home run against two outs in the bottom of the fourth inning. “The first base coach the previous atbat thought the double I hit was going out, and I said, ‘Coach, don’t worry,’” Murphy said. “’We’ve got a little bit of game left, so I’ll try and do my best.’” Murphy’s blast capped a strong fourinning hitting performance that helped Post 201 fend off visiting Post 361’s fourrun surge in the top of the fifth for a 7-4 victory on June 25. Midlothian’s Alex Kyte pitched four scoreless innings for the win on the mound, limiting the oppo-

nents to two hits and three base runners in those frames. It was a bounce-back effort for the lefty after he took a tough loss on the hill against the Post 284 Bucs the previous week. He said it was a matter of fixing his spots and improving on locating his pitches as well as hitting the outside corner. Kyte was mixing fastball with curveball while tossing in the occasional changeup; he focused on throwing from corner to corner, and he also got batters to swing and miss on some of his lower pitches. see LEGION, pg. 2B

of them in 2019. Her powerful extra-base hits were a factor in a young Powhatan Softball team enjoying a winning season this spring with a final record of 15-6. While Powhatan graduated many seniors from its run to the state final in 2018, De Weese and her teammates grew together quickly this year and made it to the Region 4B semifinals – one game shy of qualifying for the Class 4 state tournament. De Weese’s contributions to Powhatan Softball in 2019 earned her a coveted place on the Richmond Times-Dispatch All-Metro First Team. De Weese, whose Powhatan Indians compete in Class 4, called it a big honor, as she was named to the team alongside talented student-athletes from the larger Class 5 and Class 6 teams. “There are a lot of great girls that I’ve played in Travel that have made that team,” she said. “It’s a real honor to make that.” De Weese was also named to Second Team All-State on the Class 4 State Softball team. While noting she doesn’t really think about making all-state while the season’s going on – as it comes up after the season – she said: “It’s a real honor; I’m really proud of making it– it’s really a good honor to do it again, and it means a lot that I’ve done it.” De Weese’s experience with Travel Ball has been a boon to her play during the VHSL sea-

Murphy led Post 201 on offense with a 3-for-3 statline that featured the homer, a double and three RBIs. He observed that the pitchers he and his teammates faced on Tuesday were struggling with getting ahead in the count. “Once they didn’t get ahead, I knew they were gonna have to throw me a fastball over the plate because they didn’t want to walk me,” Murphy said, “so I was just sitting on fastball and then reacting curveball if they threw it, but I felt like there was a strong likelihood they were gonna throw a fastball.” He was then let on base in his fourth plate appearance on an intentional walk in the sixth. On the fielding side, he added a sliding catch underneath a shallow fly on a sprinting inside rundown from first base late in the game. Balisteri batted 2-for-4 with a triple that he hammered to rightcenter in the third inning. “Just try to hit the ball hard,” was Balisteri’s approach. “Just get my timing right and just try to explode on the ball.” The James River High School standout scored two runs, stealing home on his first trip across the bag in the opening inning. He extended his talents to the

Some weeks, it would only be a handful of girls. But they continued to practice throughout the summer. When fall came, most of the girls played Fall Ball. After Christmas, some of the girls met to start conditioning for the Spring season. And then came signups for Spring. The girls were determined to make a strong showing in All-Stars in 2019, even though they now had moved up a level and would play as “Ponytails.” There were three regular season teams of Ponytails, and even though they often played against each other, they always made it friendly competition among friends. When regular season

son. A lifetime player since she was 5 years old, De Weese first started playing Travel when she was 8 and joined a team in Northern Virginia when she was 13. That’s when she started to travel all over the country, experience a variety of different teams and work with so many different people – all of which has helped her throughout her high school seasons, and has gotten her to where she is today as an All-State and future Division I collegiate player. She’s currently playing Travel for the Firecrackers in North Carolina. De Weese’s varsity high school team, Powhatan Softball, places central emphasis on the concept of team. Before stepping up to bat, De Weese will ask her teammates what they’re looking for at the plate and what pitches they’re getting; she’ll incorporate their advice into her at-bats and then, after she either gets on base or gets out, she’ll share her advice with the players who come after her in the lineup and let them know the kinds of pitches she’s seeing, so that they know what they can expect when the pitcher starts throwing to them. “It’s not just one – it’s the whole team that gets us to where we are,” De Weese said. “And I’ve learned that since freshman year from our seniors and the girls that I’ve been with, even until now…this whole team isn’t carried on one person’s back. It’s the whole team going together, and I think that will help me a lot in college.”

De Weese’s clutch hitting in the 2019 postseason – the goahead grand slam that helped Powhatan defeat Chancellor in the regional playoffs, as well as the two-run homer that enabled Powhatan to challenge eventual winner Hanover through the middle stages of the 4B regional semifinals – boils down to what she knows she needs to get… “I need to get a hit up the middle or something to get that run through,” is De Weese’s focus at the plate. “I’m going up there to get that RBI – I’m not thinking about the big hit – I’m just trying to do something or get the team going…so the next player can know, ‘I can do it, too.’ That way we can get the team going and rolling.” De Weese has shown through her play that she stays in the game, no matter the score. After she hit that two-run blast against Hanover, she let out a joyous outburst while rounding the bases. After she reached second base on an RBI double against Chancellor, she clapped and cheered even though her team was still trailing. “I do it to pump the team up and let them know: Hey, you can do it too,” she said. “We can get rolling and we can get the runs going – we’re in the game.” De Weese has learned that you’ve got to stay in the game you’ve got to have fun and play the game fully. “You’re not done,” she said. “You’re not done until that game’s done, and you can come back.”

pitcher’s mound in the top of the sixth. Stepping onto the hill with no outs and runners on the corners, he allowed only one more runner on base and kept the visitors off of home plate while dealing the heat to fan two of the four batters he faced in the frame. “Every time I came in to pitch at James River it was a situation like that,” Balisteri said. “I’m just used to it by now because of the high school season.” He kept the fastballs coming and secured the save by striking out the side, 1-2-3, in the seventh. He rallied back from a 3-1 count to K the last batter of the night. Post 201 laced together four runs in the third frame with four at-bats driving in one run each. The inning was sparked by backto-back extra-base hits from Balisteri and Murphy, and then capped by Powhatan’s Cameron Sprouse reaching second on an RBI rocket to right-center. “We hit well,” Post 201 Baseball head coach Eric Mead said. “We can hit all the way through the lineup. We’ve got some really good hitters...there’s not any holes in our hitting lineup.” “I feel like, everyone in our order, there’s no easy out,” Balisteri contributed. “Everyone puts the ball in play. Everyone can hit. It’s tough for teams to try to deal with.”

Right now, Post 201 is trying to strengthen the middle side of its bull pen so that its pitchers can provide their team with strong mid-game relief on the mound by the time the remaining two-thirds of the season roll around. “We’re working some kids in there that haven’t pitched probably since 8th grade, 9th grade,” Mead said. “You’re bringing kids off the field that haven’t pitched in a long time, they’re getting out there on the mound... and sometimes it takes a little while.” He added: “We’re learning every single day what these pitchers can do and where they need to be.” Post 201 stayed hot by winning a 12-9 shootout to beat Post 175 for the second time this season on June 27. Murphy once again led the way, batting 3-for-3 with a double, 2 RBIs and 3 runs scored. Powhatan’s Stone Talley batted 2-for-3 with a double, 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored. Powhatan’s Tommy Preston batted 2-for-3 with 2 doubles, 2 RBIs and a run scored; he also got the win in four innings pitched, striking out 6. Murphy closed out the game in clean fashion on the mound, allowing no hits, no runs and no walks in the seventh and final inning while striking out 1.

ended, there were over 20 girls who sought to make the 2019 Powhatan Ponytails All-Star team. The selection process was not an easy one for coaches Sarah Beagle, Chris Martin and Alex Narbut, who would join forces to lead the team. But finally, the team was narrowed down to 12 girls and 2 alternates, all 14 of whom would immediately begin daily practices in the heat for the purpose of coming together as one team. The team members include: Liza Watkins, Isabelle Chandler, Kaelyn Keaton, Anna Yarbrough, Brooklyn Narbut, Addison Gillespie, Aubrey Hooks, Mea Vanwert-Bennett, Emily Minbiole, Hailey Miller, Kaylie Cook, Natalie Stopf, Katelyn Williams and Arlena

Johnson. The team played its first game on Friday, June 21 against a very tough Amelia team and would hold on to get the win, 11-7. This gave the Ponytails the day off on Saturday, but would force them to face Fluvanna twice on Sunday afternoon. Powhatan came out with hot bats on Sunday, winning both games in just 4 innings each while scoring a total of over 40 runs. Powhatan would face Amelia again on Monday night. Amelia again proved to be stiff competition, but Powhatan would not be denied, securing the championship title 14-8 in six innings. The Ponytails are once again practicing hard and will begin play in the state tournament on Friday, July 19 in Buckingham.

BROCK Continued from pg. 1B

somebody else coming in that doesn’t have the same principals [that Coach Pickett] does.” So Brock said: “Yes, I will take it.” His familiarity with Blessed Sacrament Huguenot goes far beyond last year. Brock was head football coach at one of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s predecessors – Huguenot Academy – from 1977 to 1995, while also coaching the baseball team there from 1981 to 1996. His storied coaching career has taken him to several different schools including but not limited to Tabb, King William and J.R. Tucker, before Pickett brought him onto his BSH staff in 2018. He’s now looking forward to his new role at the helm of the Knights. “I’m just thrilled to death....it’s a great challenge,” he said. “Hopefully I’m a little wiser and a little smarter than I was back when I got into it originally and I was wet behind the ears and headstrong and everything else. Since then, I’ve been around a little bit, and hopefully I’ve acquired a new outlook.” Kids have changed a whole lot, he’s observed; particularly at a small private school like BSH, they’ll play football, but they’re also going to be involved in every other possible venture that’s going on with the school. And when it came to last year’s group of 14 seniors, most of them hadn’t played at BSH before the 2018 season. But leading the way was head coach Pickett, whom Brock called “a terrific guy” and a players’ coach – and who, according to Brock, genuinely cared for his players. “He was the first one to pat you on the back when you did something right,” Brock said; he added it was incredible how the seniors, a lot of whom Pickett got to come out and play for the team, gravitated to him. With the size that the Knights were bringing into the 2018 season – the linemen averaged around 285 pounds – the coaching staff, utilizing the Single Wing, was able to not only keep it simple – lock down up front, use the line’s bulk to its advantage and pound, pound, pound with the running game – but the coaches were also able to make that simple approach work very well. “One thing that we could do well was just come at you and use what we had as far as weight and size and just kind of pound on you and lean on you,” Brock said. “Hopefully after a while, they’d break a little bit and we’d get in the end zone.” This year, Brock expects the Knights’ focal point to be the defense. “Last year it was the offense trying to get things going and jumping out ahead,” Brock said. “This year, we’re looking at our defense [to be] much better than what we had last year. I think we’ve got more speed, I think we’ve got more tackling ability, athletes over there on that side. We’re going to have to transform them into football players on the offensive side, too, but I think the defense is going to be the one to carry us in the early going, for sure.” With returning all-state player Trevor Parker leading the team from the quarterback position in addition to playing safety on defense, Brock said his team needs to be able to mix it up and create a passing game to go along with the running game. But he added: “We’re still going to be pretty much the type team that: you’re going to have to stop the run against us first.” BSH Football is bringing back 14 returners from last year’s winning team. “The kids now that we have, the ones that are returning…are kids that have seen us win,” Brock said. “They’ve seen us come back from behind and win ballgames. They’ve seen us be ahead and win ballgames. There’s an expectation…you expect to win when you go out and play – everybody does. But that’s another thing – you’ve got to experience it as well.” Brock’s coaching staff is coming together. Jack Milstead is coming on board to work with the offensive and defensive linemen, Patrick Winterrowd’s roles include working with the defensive backs and wide receivers and Richard McMinn is working with the kickers. From his Knights’ most recent 7-on-7 matchup, Brock complimented his team’s hustle and attitude. The linebacker corps and the first few defensive backs that they had looked pretty good from what he saw, and in the four games the Knights have played, Parker has been mostly on target while throwing the ball. On defense, he’s hauled in four interceptions in that fourgame stretch. But the team, Brock noted, has to build more depth, as well as get into better shape. “We will definitely get out there and work like crazy,” he said. The effort from the players – Brock added – is there. “I think the hard work that we put in last year is something that these guys realize…doesn’t come easy, and you’ve got to get in there and fight through all the adversarial-type situations that you’ve got, including lack of depth,” he said. “We’ve just got to say: ‘Hey, I expect to play football all night long, and I’m not planning on coming out too much.’ While Brock anticipates that their 2019 schedule will be competitive and challenging, he feels like – if they’re prepared – they can meet the challenge. “We’ve got to keep everybody healthy,” he said, “and go out there and play some good football.”
