ike Asip, career special education and middle school leader, and 10-year Powhatan resident, recently announced his candidacy for the 65th House of Delegates seat now held by Lee Ware. Dr. Asip retired recently from Chesterfield Public Schools as director of exceptional education, where he was recognized statewide as a leader in providing services for 7,500 students with disabilities in the fifth largest school division in the Commonwealth. Earlier he served in middle school assistant principal and principal roles in Fairfax and Williamsburg-James City County. “It has been my mission to serve students in general and special education, advocating for services that lift all children to their potential,” Asip noted. “I will

bring this expertise, experience, and passion to promote excellent public schools, where student achievement is measured by more than

ASIP test scores, and seek funding to attract and retain the best teachers.” Asip advocates for affordable health care, mental health services, and workforce development to expand economic opportunity in his district and across the Commonwealth. Inequities of broadband access across the

rural parts of this district are a high priority. “When children are not able to complete homework at home and when businesses cannot establish due to the absence of broadband, educational opportunity and economic development suffer,” he said. Asip led efforts in advocating for special education laws with the General Assembly over the past three years. He is a voice for social justice, the environment, affordable housing, women’s rights, and racial understanding, now serving as vicechair of the Powhatan County Democratic Committee, and a member of the Powhatan NAACP. Asip and his wife Leslie live in the Powhatan Courthouse area and have a daughter, married son, and grandson. His interests include fitness and outdoor activities, enjoyed in Powhatan’s rural environment.

Crebbs sentenced on drug charges A Powhatan County Circuit Court judge sentenced a Richmond man to five years in prison for serious drug charges that started with a traffic stop for speeding. On Monday, July 1, Peyton R. Crebbs, 53, of Richmond was by Judge Paul Cella sentenced to 20 years incarceration with 15 years suspended for a total active incarceration for five years, according to Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney. Crebbs was convicted on June 12 for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, possession of a schedule IV narcotics, possession of marijuana and reckless driving, said Cerullo, who handled the prosecution. Cerullo advised that the case stemmed from a

traffic stop for speeding at 11:23 p.m. on April 12. Deputy Philip Barden with the Powhatan County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department stopped Crebbs for speeding 83 mph in a posted 65 mile per hour zone on Route 288. Barden could have let the defendant go with a speeding ticket but he knew something wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right and took the case a step further after he smelled marijuana coming from the car, Cerullo said. After smelling the marijuana, the deputy began a search of the vehicle and located an ounce of powder cocaine in the glove box as well as a small amount of marijuana and approximately 30 prescription pills. Crebbs could not produce a subscription for the pills. After arresting Crebbs, Barden again went one step further

Members of the task force obtained a search warrant for Crebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phone and his residence, located in the 1600 block of Park Ave in Richmond city. The resulting investigation revealed that at the time of the traffic stop Crebbs was headed to meet an individual at a location in Powhatan to sell them cocaine, Cerullo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In one sense we got lucky that Deputy Barden happened to be running radar at the right time in the right place, but all the luck in the world wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have mattered if Barden wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t out there looking to get into something,â&#x20AC;?

DAIRY

With these systems, cows could be milked by machines that transferred the milk into refrigerated tanks, he said. The milk went through the entire process of being pasteurized and bottled without touching the air until a customer opens the container of milk. Census data and how the dairy industry was tracked changed through the years, but the numbers still show some of the evolution, Henley said. In 1944, 220 farms in Powhatan sold dairy products worth $213,506. By 1949, there were 163 farms reporting they sold dairy products, but the income had jumped to $534,925. By the 1970s, the number of dairies had dropped dramatically, but they seemed to stay steady between 26 and 27 through the census in 1987. Meanwhile, the income from dairy products sold continued to rise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from $2,211,000 in 1974 to $4,675,000 in 1982. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the dairy farms, which provided good income for many local families, Bailey said. The industry also provided jobs through feed and fertilizer sales, veterinarian care, transportation, processing, and milk and dairy product sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually you would say the money generated in a county like Powhatan went through three or four hands,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said.

hav to compete against a milk glut in the market; low milk prices versus increasing costs of farming, and the competition of alternative dairy products â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made from soy, rice, nuts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just to name a few of the factors. There is also the issue of finding successors who want to take on all of that responsibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are like 500 Grade A dairies in Virginia now. That number is going down all the time and there are economic reasons. It is economics that brought the rise of the family 100-200 cow dairy that milked twice a day. People went into that business and made a good living at it. Then it all changed,â&#x20AC;? Harper said.

Advent of electricity Dairy farming in Powhatan saw its heyday arise after the end of World War II, and if a farmer was willing to work hard, he could make a good living for his family, said Bob Cosby, who was a dairy farmer for 45 years. Before the war, while most local farms would have had cows that produced milk for their families and others around them, the main industry related to dairy cows in Powhatan would have involved Grade B farms, he said. Unlike Grade A farms, which meet fluid grade standards, Grade B milk could only be used in cheese, butter and nonfat dry milk. Many local farms would have been selling their milk to a cheese factory that was once located in the Village area or skimming the cream off and taking it to a creamery in Farmville, he said. The main hindrances to taking the business much farther was keeping the milk cool during storage and transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They milked by hand and cooled it in the springs and creek water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatever they could to keep it cool,â&#x20AC;? Cosby said. The turning point for dairy farming in Powhatan was the late 1930s and early 1940s, when efforts were made to bring electricity to the county, said Johns Bailey, a former Powhatan agriculture extension agent. This brought two huge technological advances to the dairy farmers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; milking machines using vacuum pumps to do the milking and refrigeration to keep the milk cool.

Family traditions Dairy farming changed Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life in the 1940s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50s. His father, Robert A. Cosby, was raising hogs to sell for meat and doing general farming when a friend suggested starting a dairy. In 1949, he started a Grade B dairy, selling milk in 10-gallon cans to Birtchard Dairy in Amelia to make cheese and ice cream. But by 1952, Robert Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation switched to Grade A milk, which brought in more money. Bob Cosby remembered being in eighth or ninth grade when his father started his dairy. He and his brother, Gabe, would help with the work before and after school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have milked 17 cows by hand and gone to school in this building,â&#x20AC;? he said, speaking of the Village building, which used to serve as a school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any way you can get that

smell off of you.â&#x20AC;? He recalled how the check for the milk would come with the milk truck driver, and when his father got that first $600 milk check for two weeks worth of milk, he was over the moon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother and I were milking cows and had a few buckets of milk. Daddy was waving that check. He had never gotten that much before and he kicked both of those buckets of milk over,â&#x20AC;? Cosby said with a laugh. Cosby went to Virginia Tech to study dairy science and graduated in 1959. He came home and went into business with his father. They were partners until Robert Cosby retired in 1969, at which point Gabe Cosby returned and joined his brother in the business. Bob Cosby said he was a dairy farmer for 45 years, the last two just waiting for his brother to reach retirement age before they got out of the business together in 2004. That was the same year, Adkins started to rent the dairy operation and part of the farmland. Cosby said he was fortunate that his family had focused on selling registered cows and breeding stock, because it supplemented his income during his years as a farmer and helped him get really good sale prices when he retired. His cows were sold to operations not only across the United States but in India and Russia. Owen Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history with dairy farming is similar to Cosbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. His father, G.A. Walker, started a Grade A dairy in 1942, also at the encouragement of another dairy farmer in the county. Young Owen was 2 at the time and grew up helping on the farm. Walker has lived in Powhatan all of his life with the exception of four years at Virginia Tech, two years in the U.S. Army, and two years teaching as a certified vocational agriculture teacher in another locality. At one point those different avenues represented the direction his life could take â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a teacher, a military man or a dairy farmer. But while he did teach for several years at Huguenot Academy after starting up his own dairy farm in 1968, Walker said the farm is where he felt he belonged â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in my blood.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of hard work, but if you managed right, back in those days you could make a good living,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I basically started on my own and it was tough. Daddy helped. We swapped equipment back and forth.â&#x20AC;? Walker recalled the community of dairy farms in Powhatan, including seven within a mile of his house at one point. Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to retire from the dairy business in March 2006 wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t difficult, he said. He had four daughters who were interested in the work but found better jobs. He was also already getting into the beef cattle business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was tired,â&#x20AC;? he said matterof-factly.

Everything changes When Bailey came to work as an extension agent in Powhatan in 1970, dairy farming â&#x20AC;&#x153;was the largest agricultural industry that we had in the county.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had dropped some. But for Powhatan not being any larger, that was a pretty large number,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say middle 80s to early 90s, that is when the decline really started. That is when we were really getting the pressure from development from Richmond and milk prices started to decline.â&#x20AC;? Farmers were largely outdone by their own efficiency, Cosby said. Breeding techniques and improvements to how they raised the cows led the animals to produce an overabundance of milk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so much so that a glut in the market was making it difficult for farmers to get decent prices. There were programs that sought to help the situation, including a whole-herd buyout program, Bailey said. Farmers agreed to sell their whole herds for slaughter since simply selling them to another dairy wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have solved the issue of too much milk on the market. The number of dairies in Powhatan continued to drop, according to census data. From 27 in 1987, the numbers just kept getting smaller: 16 in 1992; 14 in 1997; 10 in 2002; three in 2007, and one in 2012. That was Adkins. Adkins started dairy farming 2004 in what he called his very own 40-year-old midlife crisis. At the time, he was the Select

Sires representative for all southeastern Virginia. He and his wife, Andrea, wanted to raise their children in a country environment, and Adkins sincerely had a passion for raising cows. So he took a leap. Cosby had just retired that year, so Adkins rented his dairy operation. Adkins undertook the challenge at a time many would have called him crazy for doing so. Thousands of struggling small dairy farms across the nation had been selling out or going out of business for decades. In addition to the hard work and challenges of running a farm 365 days a year, small commercial dairies still had to compete against a milk glut in the market; low milk prices versus increasing costs of farming, and the competition of alternative dairy products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scared of that. Anybody in this world that wants to make something or do something gets up at 4 a.m. and works 12 hours. If you want something, you go for it. Scared isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the right word. I have had a lot of anxieties over the years about whether it was going to rain or the crop was ever going to come, but I was never really scared about doing it based on what other people told me,â&#x20AC;? Adkins said. Through the years, Adkins said he has experienced firsthand the struggles of a dairy with a midsize herd. To be profitable, many operations either have to grow exponentially or severely cut back and cater to the organic crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could have sold cow shares. But I wanted to keep farming like I knew. I probably could have cut back to about 10 cows and grossed more money at the end of the year than with 100 cows,â&#x20AC;? he said. He also knows he could probably be making more money driving an eight-hour shift in an air-conditioned truck, and not having to deal with the constant pressure of running a farm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; although that has been relieved some by having a business partner to share the load. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is just not like that. Your heart has to be in it. If it was just the money, I would have quit all the way. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have relocated up here,â&#x20AC;? he said.

bus driver during the week. Being the recipient of the 13th home built by Habitat For Humanity – Powhatan, Muncey was required to put “sweat equity” into making the house a reality. But Muncey went over and above what was asked of her, Joe Hefferon, past president of the nonprofit’s board, said at the dedication of the new house in western Powhatan on Sunday, June 30. “It’s part of our program that it’s a hand up, not a hand out and that the families team with us to actually build this house. Erica and her son Nate were here every single time,” said Hefferon, who was also the construction manager on the project. For Muncey, she just wanted to soak it all in. Whether it was learning the ins and outs of putting together the house that would one day be hers or simply being thrilled to watch it slowly take shape, she wanted to be there as much as possible, she said. “It was a learning experience and it was awesome to be a part of it. I was very grateful; I wanted to be a part of it every chance I could and learn what I could,” she said. Getting the keys to the house and being able to move in a few weeks before the dedication was a huge turning point in Muncey’s life. She and her son had been living in rented rooms, usually staying in one room together in a home where they had access to a shared kitchen and bathroom. Muncey said she had been pre-approved for a mortgage for three years and kept looking for a good place for them in Powhatan because she had fallen in love with the county when she moved here 13 years ago and wanted Nate to be

raised there. “We kept hunting for something, but I just didn’t make enough to qualify for something that would pass the inspections, even with the other programs out there,” she said. “I drive a school bus, I substitute teach, I volunteer for the Autism Commission. I have just been really involved in Powhatan since we moved here. I loved the schools and fought to stay in Powhatan trying to find affordable housing.” During her presentation at the dedication, Lisa Hagerty, chair of the family selection and services committee, talked about how important it was for Muncey and her son to finally have a home of their own. “Erica and Nate have never had a home before now. They have lived in rented rooms, usually one bedroom with access to a kitchen and bathroom which have been shared with others in the house. At times, Erica and Nate have been sleeping on mattresses on the floor,” Hagerty said. As happy as she is to have a room to herself, Muncey said she is overjoyed that her 14-year-old son can finally have a space of his own. She let him set up an art studio in their third bedroom and

has been thrilled to see his creativity thrive. She said she tried to keep him involved in the process, even when he was too young to actually work on the build site. Where there was room for them to make choices to personalize the house – features such as light fixtures, paint, or flooring – she let him have his say. Most importantly, Muncey said she was feeling overwhelming gratefulness for all of the amazing people who donated their time, trades and talents to help create her home. “We have felt the love and support of this community throughout the build of our home and met so many incredible volunteers. I feel so incredibly blessed to build a strong foundation for my son and to put roots down in this truly wonderful community,” she said. “We searched for a peaceful and safe place to call home for years here in Powhatan. I never imagined I’d be able to help build it myself with the help of so many gifted volunteers.” As always, building a Habitat house is a community project, Hefferon said. In addition to the funds donated to buy materials, more than 150 volunteers donated their time

and skills during the construction process, including church groups, civic groups, and individuals. A few dozen of them showed up to the dedication on June 30 to officially welcome Muncey and her son to their new home. There were many key workers on the project – some of whom were there every time there was a work day – but he especially highlighted the efforts of Bobby Shortridge, who basically acted as the foreman and kept work moving along, he said. It was a long road for the build, he added. To start, Powhatan Habitat’s 13th house was something new for the local nonprofit since organizers decided to use a new style of three-bedroom home for the project they got from Hanover County’s Habitat for Humanity chapter. Work began in August 2018 on a piece of property, donated by Don and Terry Sanders, Hefferon said. The property was big enough to split into a second lot that will be the location of Habitat’s 14th home. In the months that followed, the project lost between 12 to 15 weekends of work because of rain. As a result, some of the contractors were delayed on the groundwork, which affected the entire schedule. Despite this, Hefferon said he was

When you first meet her she can be a little timid, but once she is comfortable with you she will show you what a great dog that she is! She is super sweet and loving and already knows basic commands. She can be picky with other dogs and would probably be best as the only dog in a household. If interested, please give us a call at 804-598-5672 to schedule a meet and greet!

Davenport was arrested without incident on Thursday, June 27 in Poughkeepsie, New York, and is expected to be extradited to Powhatan County on July 15 on charges of felony malicious wounding and robbery in a separate case, Lowe said. A felony murder charge is forthcoming in Louisa County after Davenport is back in Virginia, he said. The malicious wounding and robbery charges stem from a case that began earlier in the month, on June 11, when a third male roommate filed a police report in Powhatan

He keeps it with him all the time. That was just out of the ordinary,â&#x20AC;? Tracy Bailey said. Tiffany Bailey agreed that her son wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the type to ignore his texts. She said she held out hope until her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boss at a local landscaping company told her he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t picked up his paycheck that Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, that is when I became scared and saying something is definitely wrong,â&#x20AC;? she said. Terell Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was discovered on June 22 on E. Green Springs Road by a private citizen work-

ing for a local resident. It was determined later that day that he might have been the person reported missing from Powhatan, Lowe said. He was later positively identified. Lowe declined to say how Terell Bailey was killed. Davenport was tracked to the home of a family member in New York and arrested by the New York State Policeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tactical team, Lowe said. He commended law enforcement agencies in Virginia and out of state for their collaboration on building the case and finding and arresting Davenport. Authorities did not release any details of the investigation prior to July 1 while they sought to locate Davenport and gather evidence, Lowe said. Once the authorities developed a suspect and knew he was allegedly on the run, they needed time to track him, serve search warrants, and collect and preserve evidence to build a better case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a small window of opportunity to do this before the public knew about it and before evidence was destroyed and Mr. Davenport went into deeper hiding than he was. We actually wanted him to not know that (Terell) Bailey was discovered in Louisa County,â&#x20AC;? Lowe said.

Tiffany Bailey said on July 1 that the last 10 days had been incredibly difficult for her family, but to know that an arrest had been made brought them some measure of peace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring him back but we know everybody worked really hard on his behalf and kindness and support the police department showed and everybody that was working with them and through them, we really appreciate it,â&#x20AC;? she said. His mother described Terell Bailey as adventurous, outgoing young man whose â&#x20AC;&#x153;smile would light up any room.â&#x20AC;? His parents said he loved fishing, motorcycles, and football â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially the Dallas Cowboys. She also said he was non-confrontational and avoided drama and trouble. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a hard worker. He loved his family, he loved his friends, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve this. So if anybody knows any information that can help, we would really appreciate it,â&#x20AC;? she said. As authorities continue to build a case against Davenport, Lowe said they are asking for any member of the public who has additional information to contact his office at 540-967-1234 or the Powhatan County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office at 804-598-5656. In particular, authorities are looking for anyone who might have seen Davenportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car, a gray 2003 Ford Taurus with possible damage to the front left side, in the area from June 18 to 19.

Full batteau festival experience finally sinks in

OWHATAN – If I were to choose one word to describe my experience of the James River Batteau Festival this year, it would be connection. Five years after this writer covered her first festival for the Powhatan Today, I finally took my experience of it to the next level and understood what it was truly all about. The first festival I attended was in June 2014, less than a month after starting work for the Powhatan Today. Back then, my main goal was to immerse myself in the county and learn as much as I could. What I figured out about the batteau festival was that it is not a quintessential part of Powhatan County’s identity today. It doesn’t capture a history that is distinctly Powhatan or bring people out in the numbers of some of the festivals in the county. Now, there are definitely participants, including some of the key leaders, past and present, who hail from the county. And as the final stop on an eight-day, 120-mile journey, Powhatan is a key strategic point to the festival. Added to that, it was an interesting historical recreation that wasn’t steeped in controversy, which is hard to find these days, and makes for some truly interesting photo opportunities. So, I kept attending. Three straight years I attended the festival entirely as a bystander. Usually I would go to Cartersville Landing in Cumberland County, the last stop before the boats pull out the next day at Maidens Landing in Powhatan. The remnants of an old train trestle provide an excellent vantage point to watching the boats slowly

come in and sitting quietly for a few hours in between. Two years ago, the crew of the Lady’s Slipper batteau kindly agreed to let me come along as a guest for a day, and I shared that experience at the time. Last year, I became a full-fledged member of the crew and was there on opening day to see and hear the festivities kick off. It was an amazing experience and one I truly enjoyed. And it gave me a taste of the festival’s energy. Unfortunately, issues with the boat led the leaders to wisely decide to pull it out a few days into the festival, which meant that one day was it for me. Now we are caught up to 2019, when I got to be on the boat a whopping four out of eight days and part of the ground crew for a little over a day. This was a special year for our boat because many of the members who were on the Lady’s Slipper for years but aren’t currently active came out and joined us – either to actually come on the boat or to visit with us while we were on land. They have stories about the James River – its might and its beauty – that are fascinating to hear. If you are not careful, it is easy to become intimidated in the presence of these ladies and other boat crews that have been doing this for years, and feel left out because of the power of their shared experiences. But in doing so, you would entirely miss the point – that yes they have a shared history, but now they want you to become a part of it. I will admit there were more than a few times I found myself slipping into the role of the newbie who repeatedly apologizes for making mistakes.

Fiery eyes and a set of wings? Vacation! By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Turns out those free oil changes for life can be more enlightening than you expected. While awaiting service at a local dealership, I found a small table and pulled out my laptop and quietly began working on an article for the upcoming week’s newspaper. A gentleman about my age asked how to access the wifi and I explained it would appear when he booted his computer and all he had to do was click “yes”. That started a conversation that I at first thought would be brief, but it turned out the stranger was a retired journalist who was on summer vacation with his wife when their car required service. The couple was from Charleston, South Carolina, and were heading to West Virginia for a week-long stay. “Where you headed to in West Virginia?”, I politely asked. “We’re headed to Point Pleasant to search for the Mothman,” the man laughed. I suppose he didn’t realize he was speaking to a dedicated devotee of a legend that has intrigued folks for decades, and he seemed surprised that I knew of what he was speaking. Their interests were spiked when they saw a movie called “Mothman” Prophecies starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney, and thought a visit to the small hamlet would make an interesting and unique vacation. I explained that I had never been to Point Pleasant but was well acquainted with the Mothman legacy, and how the terror associated with it had gripped a community in the late 1960s. In 1966, a series of troubling reports and sightings of a strange moth/man combination stalking the community became prevalent

in and around Point Pleasant. Locals who had encountered the beast described it as about 6 to 7 feet tall with folded wings and red eyes. The origins of the phenomenon are still to this day unknown, but the legend has grown as the decades pass, and Point Pleasant has become the centerpiece of a universal effort to keep the story alive. Why Point Pleasant? No one knows exactly, but the town is located adjacent to a closed munitions factory that produced God only knows what during World War II. I had a neighbor who worked at the top secret site during those years, and, although he never discussed his confidential work, he did tell me about the strange occurrences that surrounded the deserted site. Locals call it the “TNT” area and during the period in question, the area was a hotspot for young lovers seeking privacy so they could engage in what we used to call submarine races. “There were some strange things going on at that site,” my neighbor said, describing the beastly encounters, not the backseat activities. The Mothman hysteria culminated in November 1967 when the Silver Bridge spanning the Ohio River collapsed on a cold November evening, claiming 46 lives. Following the disaster, some people who survived recalled the terrifying site of two red eyes sitting atop the bridge’s tower shortly before the collapse, and to this day, many believe the collapse was a result of the Mothman’s wrath. Engineers who studied the collapse begged to differ and cited deficient steel in one of the beams supporting the suspension bridge. But, as my neighbor said, 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

Mothman was never seen or heard from again in Point Pleasant. Today, Point Pleasant appears just like any other quiet riverfront town on the Ohio, the Silver Bridge long replaced and thoughts of evil creatures remaining only in the minds of those the locals call believers. But, the town has taken full advantage of the mystery, and whether it was a winged intruder, aliens or some genetically-altered being created from the ashes of that weapons plant, the events have marked Point Pleasant as the place to begin the search for Mothman. There are museums, a local festival, moth man themed promotions, and you can even buy a local pizza designed in the image of — you guessed it — Mothman. There’s a statue of the creature strategically and proudly displayed in the downtown area. But, don’t expect the locals to embrace the hoards of people who visit annually to somehow reclaim the legend. Most of the people who encountered the other worldly beast are dead and buried, and many others have long discounted the story behind the legend. I told the stranger at the auto dealer little of this background and explained that I had a limited knowledge of the enhanced tale, but thought that he and his wife would enjoy the peaceful and beautiful surroundings in Point Pleasant. Their car was ready before the work was completed on mine, so they came back over to the table to say goodbye. “Wish us luck,” the man said as they prepared to leave. “I hope we find the Mothman.” “I hope you don’t,” I said with a smile. The legend lives on in wonderful West Virginia.

But then there were times with great conversations, shared problems, and reflections. There was the experience of manning the rear tiller, asking one of the former members for her advice in the position, and then sitting back and letting the wisdom flow. There was the experience of the boat getting stuck on rocks and finally feeling comfortable getting out in the rushing water to help push that 2-ton behemoth free. There was the shared misery of bug bites mixed with the awe of dancing fireflies lighting up the trees like Mother Nature had turned on her Christmas lights just for us. There was a medical problem that saw them crowding around to tend to me and every single one of them – literally – asking individually the next morning over breakfast and the preparations for the day if I was OK to go on the water. There was the meaningless chit chat in between the deep conversations and introspective moments of silence. There was sharing tin cups filled with water throughout the day never once worrying about the germs we were passing around. There was the time that particular day’s crew stopped for a break and decided to act like kids. We waded upstream about 100 feet in our life vests, stood in a line while holding hands, and fell back on the count of three to float, giggling, back to the boat. There was the connection, and I finally felt it. And I can’t wait until next year to feel it all again. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Board’s adoption of comp plan shows its dysfunction Dear Editor, Déjà vu all over again. I’m tired of hearing myself explain how really bad some members of our board of supervisors are. This past Monday’s (June 24) board of supervisors meeting just proved how low we actually can go and how dysfunctional it is. At that meeting, the BoS was to make a final decision on the comprehensive plan. Did they make a decision? You bet! In a 3:1 vote Mr. Melton, Ms. Cabell and Mr. Tucker voted YEA. Mr. Williams was the sole NAY vote. Mr. Nordvig was absent. In and of itself this wouldn’t be a very unusual event; however two letters were received by one or more board members and county administration requesting that zoning for their specific properties be changed from the new comp plan zoning to a more favorable designation. These “late in the game” requests should have long since been resolved since the letters were dated May 22 and June 5 and meeting after meeting these folks spoke out about their concerns. What happened Monday? Three members of the board agreed to make requested changes to the NEW comp plan “on-thefly.” No public announcement, no public hearing, no transparency. One board member wasn’t even present to voice his comments. Representatives from the Walton Group (Canadian developer) who owns 74 acres on the South side of

Route 60 near the eastern county line spoke harshly at the meeting about the way business is done here in Powhatan and how some are “singled-out“ for preferential treatment. All-in-all this new comp plan is the worst business/ development plan we could ever adopt: it will increase your taxes for the cost of schools and community services (we have a 92-8 residential/commercial real estate ratio imbalance that will be exacerbated) giving the green light to high-density development; it will create traffic congestion, and seriously decrements our limited water supply to less than 200,000 gallons/ day, which represents 35 percent of all of the water available to serve future development on Route 60 (these percentages are based on completion of projects currently under rezoning requests). Considering the small number of businesses currently served the available 35 percent will disappear fast with any appreciable commercial development. When it’s gone, it’s gone. Come Nov. 5 residents need to understand what the candidates stand for. Powhatan has for years been plagued by a dysfunctional board. A team is what’s needed whose players are not in the pocket of special interest. Submitted on behalf of Powhatan Citizens Alliance. Don Silberbauer Powhatan County

Brandon Eike wins national championship Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

here is a new national champion from Powhatan. Brandon Eike, a rising senior at Powhatan High School, won his first-ever national title by helping his Canes National 17U team win the Perfect Game WWBA 17U National Championship, 8-3 over Dallas Patriots 17U Stout at the LakePoint Sports Complex in Georgia on July 5. “It’s huge – that’s one of the biggest tournaments in the world,” Eike said. “It’s a pretty big accomplishment to do it with a group of guys that I’m close with and I like to play with.” Eike’s Canes National 17U team – comprised of Division I talent from all

over the United States – went 12-0 in the 376-team tournament, which began June 28. He earned both the start and the win on the mound in the Canes’ championship game, pitching the first three and two-thirds innings and limiting the opponents to 5 hits and 1 walk while striking out 6 batters. “It’s awesome, the amount of people who come to watch – just a big stage,” Eike said. “It just propelled me to do my best.” Eike said his fastball in the tournament was in the 89-91 range; according to Perfect Game, he was also throwing a 76-mph curveball. His velocity has consistently gotten faster, and Eike credited those increases to staying in shape. He also noted that the Canes’ strength coach

Josh Reidt keeps the players straight with arm care and gives them the right workouts to do before every game. The Canes’ dominant showcase in the Georgia tournament came on the heels of their Wilson Premier Championship East (2020 Grads) title, which they won 3-0 over the Coastal Prospects on June 26 in Florida. Eike was named that tournament’s MVP. He told media after that game that his approach was “just going out and throwing strikes, knowing I’ve got a group of guys that’s going to make plays behind me – not trying to overpower them or overthrow or do too much.” FILE/POWHATAN TODAY Eike has been a dynamic player all over the field. In the spring, he helped Powhatan‘s Brandon Eike became a his young Powhatan Baseball team national champion with the Canes see EIKE, pg. 2B

Powhatan beat Altlee 8-6 in the first game of the District 5 Seniors All Star Tournament.

Battling on from start to finish By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor ATLEE - After the ball left the pitcher’s fingertips, Powhatan’s Parker Snellings signaled the power with which he was about to meet the incoming throw. He scooted his left foot forward, kicking up a small cloud of dirt right before slashing his bat through the air with the fiery swing. In one of those instances - on Friday,

June 28 against Central Chesterfield he sent the ball rocketing deep into the outfield and dropping past the fielders, bringing home two runs on the double. The crushing hit was symbolic of how the Powhatan Seniors All-Stars dug in and fought hard in the District 5 Tournament, from start to finish. The Seniors set the tone right away, edging Atlee 8-6 in their first game to advance to the winner’s bracket. Facing Central Chesterfield on June 28, they tied at 2-2, fell behind as Cen-

tral took a 7-2 lead and rallied back to tie the ballgame at 7-7 with the help of a 2-RBI single from Snellings and back-to-back runner-plating hits from Eric Willersdorf and Cody Pastorfield. But Central pulled away over the final three frames to win 11-7. Parker Snellings batted 3-for-4 with 4 RBIs and a double. Powhatan faced the Tuckahoe Nationals on June 30 for the right to challenge Central for the championship. see SENIORS, pg. 2B

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor ATLEE - When going by the scores, it looked to be a tough district tournament for the 9/10/11-year-old Powhatan All-Stars. But even when they were down, they could be seen smiling after a teammate made a big play. And even in their final inning of

tourney play, they could be heard cheering on the player who was currently at-bat for them. “They’re a great group of kids and they worked hard and I enjoyed the experience, and I think they all enjoyed the experience, too,” Powhatan head coach Kenneth Pestka II said. “They work well together.” The All-Stars took away multiple positives, even in a tournament in

which they lost to what Pestka said was “definitely a rock-solid team” in Atlee on June 30, 22-1, and to Huguenot, 14-1 in an elimination game on July 1. The scores weren’t what they wanted, but their performance this time - with the couple of runs that they scored - was an improvement over last year. see ALL-STARS, pg. 3B

She rides the horses at her barn in Powhatan every day, while also going to the Hampden Row stable in Manakin-Sabot – where she rides and trains with Katherine Schmidt and Janet Simpson – for lessons once to twice a week. Schmidt – who had actually moved down to Virginia from Connecticut around the same time that Carter began riding at Hampden Row – has seen that Carter has really good instincts when it comes to what the horse is going to do next, and how to best work with them. She’s also a very hard worker. “You can tell her to get to the barn at 4 a.m. and she wouldn’t bat an eye,” Schmidt said of Carter. “All day long, she’ll be out there riding and helping, which goes really far in this sport. It’s not really a sport [in which] you can just show up and get on your horse and get off and leave – there’s so much more that goes into it as far as horse care and horsemanship. “To be a really good horse person, you have to have all of that,” Schmidt said. “And she does.” Carter has had plenty of success along the way. She recently enjoyed a strong showing at the Deep Run Horse Show in Manakin-Sabot, earning 13 placements. She also earned her best Bryan Trophy Horsemanship equitation class finish yet: a third place with Talinsky, whom she has leased for a year. In previous years, Carter had placed eighth and fourth in the prestigious class. “It was really awesome to finish in the top three,” Carter said. “It was one of my goals to finish in the top three, and to be able to accomplish that with such a cool horse – it was a great feeling.” Compared to how Carter rode last year, Schmidt observed that, this year, she’s riding with a lot more feel and, Schmidt believes, “a lot more confidence…going into the equitation classes and thinking, ‘I belong here.’”

away in the seventh inning on two big extra-base hits to defeat Post 201, 6-2, the Dirt Sox - who earlier in the year fell to Post 284, 13-3 - stayed with the visitors through the first six frames, trailing 3-2 in a tight ballgame. “Pitching is about throwing strikes and consistently getting across the plate and being able to play between the lines,” Mead said. “I think we did that very well tonight.” The Dirt Sox threw a couple of pitchers who had yet to pitch in the American Legion season. Starting

“Her having that edge where she wants to win and do well, that sets you apart from the other competitors,” Schmidt said. “Walking in the ring with that confidence is something that I’ve seen progress from last year to this year, and that’s due to a lot of hard work and dedication and putting in the practice that she has.” Over the last year, Carter and Talinsky have fostered a strong partnership while learning plenty from one another. Carter said the warmblood horse – who was imported from Europe seven years ago – is “awesome; he’s like a big dog basically. He’ll do whatever – you can lead him around, he doesn’t really care…he’s a cool dude, and he’s super fun to have around.” Talinsky also has experience across the disciplines, having competed in the hunter, jumper and equitation events. “He knows his job,” Schmidt said of Talinsky. “He goes into the show ring and he’s got his game face on. That’s what you want out of a show horse, too.” Talinsky was one of two horses that Carter rode at the Deep Run Horse Show. She also competes with Andiamo, a junior hunter and warmblood whom she’s had since he was a baby. She’s been working with Andiamo for the past four years. The pair earned eight placements together at the show, including a couple of runnersup finishes in Junior Hunter Over Fences classes and a third place in a Junior Hunter Handy class. “It’s really rewarding to have worked with him since he was a baby and brought him up,” Carter said. “For him to be able to walk in and lay down really nice trips, it was a really good weekend.” Andiamo, she said, definitely has a lot of personality. “He’s super fun – he’s kind of like the naughty little brother,” Carter said (“That’s a good way to describe him,” Schmidt added) while also noting: “He’s really cool. He’s a good boy.” Talinsky and Andiamo, Carter pointed out, couldn’t be any more different in the ways that they go and want you to ride them. “Talinsky takes you a little bit more; he’s a little bit stron-

reach the 2019 regional quarterfinals with multiple 15-strikeout performances and a big bat that drove the ball deep for multiple extra-base, runner-plating hits. Eike earned 2019 AllState honors for both pitcher and shortstop and was also named the Region 4B Player of the Year. Playing with the Canes, Eike has gotten to pitch against elite talent from all over the country. “Every guy you saw was a D1 guy, so you always have to have in the back of your head knowing that they can do damage if you mess up,” Eike said. When trying to best them, he said it’s

pitcher Stone Talley (two strikeouts), Mead said, looked really good in his three innings on the mound, and lefthanded pitcher Jacob Frame, who hadn’t thrown all year and was coming off of a significant injury from high school, locked down the Bucs’ bats through the fourth and fifth innings, allowing one hit in that stretch. In the sixth inning, he got some help from Blessed Sacrament Huguenot alum Reilly Dickerson, who retired both of the batters he faced. “Reilly Dickerson came in and did

exactly what Reilly Dickerson’s supposed to do in that one inning...” Mead said. “I thought we did good - we just didn’t score the runs we needed to score, made some base running mistakes.” Post 284 jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first half-inning as the top three strung together back-to-back-to-back quality at-bats. The Dirt Sox gained back a run in the bottom of the frame as lead-off batter Tommy Preston slammed see LEGION, pg. 3B

ger,” Schmidt said, “and Andi, you’ve got to encourage a little bit more, so you could say that they’re opposites.” “You kind of have to readjust yourself and remember what each horse wants you to do,” Carter said. “But I feel like I’ve done a pretty good job of it.” Schmidt agreed. “For her to learn the versatility of riding two very different horses is really a good thing for her and her future,” Schmidt said. “Whatever she chooses to do going forward, she’ll be able to ride multiple types of horses and figure them out pretty quickly, which is a really good skill to have.” Carter is also a versatile competitor across different sports. The rising senior at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot has been a cheerleader in the fall and a leading player on the BSH girls’ basketball team in the winter. “I think it definitely keeps you fit, because you definitely need to be fit to ride horses,” Carter said of competing in school athletics. “It does take time away from the horses, which is kind of a struggle sometimes because you have to make that up. But you just have to balance time well and figure out schedules and make it all work.” Carter is looking forward

about “mainly not trying to pitch away from them [but] just trying to pitch with my stuff and have confidence and let them hit it.” All of Eike’s Canes teammates, he said, have helped to inspire his play, as he’s been picking up something new “from every single one of them.” With the Canes continuing to play in out-of-state tournaments this summer, Eike said that “being on the road for this long of a time just really makes you bond with other guys and become close with them, and in turn play well together and mesh well.” “We’re just all a tight-knit group,” Eike said. “We’re all really close, we all hang out, all together.”

eliminated Powhatan from the tournament on Sunday. “We battled every game, just come up short...we talked since - at least I have, from Tball - we don’t ever give up until it’s over, and finally when we got to 13 to 16, they started never giving up. “I’m just very proud of what we did and how far we’ve come in the last two or three years with this group of kids,” he said. “Wish we could’ve got some more, but that’s the way the ball rolls.”

“I’d like to have scored more,” Pestka said smiling, “but they did what they could do, and they worked hard, so I’m proud of them.” All the players played hard and worked hard, he said, and in their last inning on Monday, the players who were at-bat in that final frame went down swinging. They even got some good hits on those swings, preventing the shutout against Huguenot in the fourth and final inning. Third baseman Tyshawn Studivant drove in Maxwell Pestka, who was one of four batters that inning to reach base on a hit after Huguenot’s pitchers had held Powhatan’s players to just one hit through the first three frames. Also getting hits in the fourth for Powhatan were catcher Lucas Stocks and starting pitcher Caleb Perez, the latter of whom batted two-for-two and defensively made a play at home plate to tag out an incoming Huguenot base runner off the short toss from Stocks in the first inning.

And the kids who struggled...[they were] facing pitching that they probably haven’t seen.” This group of Powhatan All-Stars was also young, too, with only three 11-year-olds on the 9/10/11 team. They were the youngest team by far to play in their tournament bracket, and the last team they faced, Huguenot, had 10 11-year-olds and 3 10-year-olds. “We were definitely the underdogs in that sense experience-wise,” Pestka said. “But the kids fought hard, and NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY they have a lot to take away from it.” The Powhatan 9/10/11 All-Stars excitedly run off the field after concluding And most of them, being ages 9 district tournament play at the Atlee Litttle League park. and 10, will get to come back with the chance to represent Powhatan again next year in that same 9/10/11 division. a bunch of young kids playing up, those Stars were Lucas Stocks, Maxwell Pestka emphasized that people in the kids will have more experience next Pestka, Zachary Barrett, Caleb Perez, Powhatan community really need to year, so the more kids we can get to start Tyshawn Studivant, Nicholas DeKeyencourage as many kids as they can to earlier, the more they’ll have experience, ser, Jackson Orban, Hunter Cheely, the better they’ll get, and they’ll see oth- Andrew Watts, Reece Stuart, Isaac sign up for All-Stars. “The other counties, they have a er kids that are excelling as well, and so Abbondanza, Blake Johnson and Jack larger population, and so there’s more that interaction I think is something that Sullivan.
