Cooper Stuart home and healing after surgery By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – Ask Cooper Stuart what it was like to have a tumor the size of a small orange removed from his head and his response is pretty blasé. “It wasn’t the funnest thing ever,” the 12-year-old said while lying on the couch of his family’s home in Powhatan. He was a little tired – that happens now – but that is to be expected after going through two brain surgeries and numerous other procedures. When the Stuart family sat down for an interview with the Powhatan Today on July 17 to talk about how they are doing, Cooper had only been home from the hospital nine days. Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, everything is still obviously a little raw for Cooper’s parents, Renee and Ray, who had their whole world rocked on its axis on June 6, when their son was hospitalized with seizures only to be diagnosed with a brain tumor. In the days that followed for them, they were in survivor mode, Ray said. Renee described those first few days as one long Thursday night because they didn’t leave the hospital for several days and time seemed to stop having meaning. “Ray and I talk about that often. Our days and nights ran

together,” Renee said. “Once (Cooper) came through the second surgery, one of the neurosurgeons asked if he knew what day it was. That wasn’t a fair question. We had been in the hospital 21 days. I didn’t know what day it was.” But if they can’t adequately describe how terrifying it was to watch their son go through that ordeal, they also can’t say enough about how grateful they are for the support from their community. The first words out of Ray’s mouth were to talk about the outpouring of love, support and prayer from Powhatan and beyond and wanting to get across his family’s gratitude. And just like an overwhelmed entertainer giving an acceptance speech at an awards show, he was worried about missing someone – starting with the sheriff’s office and fire and rescue personnel who responded when Cooper first collapsed just outside their home after coming back from watching a baseball game. Then the hospital staff at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and people associated with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Richmond for their care and attention during his hospital stay. But they are also grateful for everyone in Powhatan who has helped the family along the way: friends, family, neighbors, the school division, Pocahontas Elementary School families and staff, and local businesses and churches. see COOPER, pg. 5

POWHATAN – Local 911 communications has taken the next step to making sure anyone experiencing an emergency can reach help by adding a new textto-911 capability. Powhatan 911 emergency communications will go live on Aug. 1 to give people in the county the capability of reaching help with a text as well as a phone call, said Tom Nolan, department of public safety communications director. While calling 911 using a phone remains the quickest and most effective way to relay information so emergency help can be dispatched, there are situations where a phone call isn’t possible, Nolan said. Some of the scenarios where texting

911 has proved effective included when someone was hearing impaired or in a situation involving hostages, active shooters or a domestic assault. There have also been cases where someone is uncomfortable because they are in a room where a crime is being discussed or planned. “They are giving valuable, timely information without anybody knowing they are doing it while they are sitting in the same room as the suspect or potential criminals,” Nolan said. Having text-to-911 capability is the next step in Next Generation 911 and very important given how prevalent cell phone use is to communications in the county, he said. “About 80 percent of all 911 calls are made by mobile phones in Powhatan, and that follows closely with the national

POWHATAN – When the worst happened, several strangers came together to help save a life. The life of an elderly Powhatan man possibly having a heart attack was saved thanks to a family member, a 911 dispatcher, and two men who happened to be passing by the scene. The group worked to resuscitate the man for the several minutes before EMTs arrived to start giving him trained medical attention. At 12:10 p.m. on Tuesday, July 16, a call came into the 911 center about a man who was found unresponsive in his vehicle in the driveway of his Powhatan home. The man’s wife told the dispatcher that her husband had called her from the driveway

because he believed he was having a heart attack. When she came outside and found him, he was already unresponsive. Shift supervisor Cory Chaffins took the frantic woman’s call, which started just after the woman discovered her husband in the driveway and said hishe didn’t appear to be breathing. After gathering information so another dispatcher could send help, Chaffins then instructed the woman to get her husband out of the vehicle so she could perform CPR. “She resisted a little bit because of course the weight can be intimidating. But I just told her to pull him out however she needed to pull him out to get him out of the vehicle and onto a flat surface. Once I was able to determine she had done that, I started with CPR instructions and continsee CPR, pg. 3

Public invited to Groove in the Garden Contributed Report In an effort to increase production of Powhatan Cooperative Extension’s demonstration garden, staff and volunteers have been making a few changes. The group added four additional raised beds this summer and drip irrigation system was also incorporated to conserve water. By replacing the sprinkler system to water the garden, much less water is evaporated off the plants’ leaves and the water goes directly into the soil for the roots. The first crop of the season was harvested in early July with 3.75 lbs. of cherry tomatoes, green

peppers and banana peppers. These items were donated to patrons of the Free Clinic of Powhatan. Produce will also be donated to visitors of the Clothes Closet throughout the summer. The public is invited to stop by the demo garden for Groove in the Garden at 10 a.m. on the third Thursdays through September. Master Food and Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardener volunteers work together to answer questions and introduce seasonal produce – this month is swiss chard.

The emotion of seeing a loved one in that position makes it even harder. Even as she talked the woman through performing chest compressions and breathing for her husband, Chaffins said she could tell she was becoming exhausted while she waited for first responders, who had already been dispatched and would arrive about seven minutes after the call started. “You are using a lot of your

standard,” he said. The county applied for and was an awarded a $60,000 grant through the Virginia Information Technology Agency (VITA) to implement the new technology, Nolan said. This grant includes paying for the services required for text-to-911 capability for the next five years. The deployment of this feature puts Powhatan well ahead of a requirement set in Virginia that all public safety communications centers have to deploy text-to-911 capability by July 1, 2020.

It doesn’t take a rescue squad a minute to get there; it takes multiple minutes, so you get tired. A second to them is very long,” Chaffins said. About six minutes into the call, two men were passing by and spotted the woman giving CPR. Sammy Curlings works with Clean Line, a North Carolina subcontractor of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). He and a VDOT employee, Brandon Trevillian, were out spraying secondary guardrails in the county to get rid of weeds. When they were driving by, Curlings said he initially saw the

phone carriers – Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T – to test phones on their plans in the county. “When they opened the pathway, we had the dispatchers text and we did several tests just to make sure they were coming through. That happened with each carrier,” Gillespie said. “We did have a slight issue with the Sprint phone. It wasn’t really an issue with the phone or the texting capability. It was an issue with the service. If you are in an area that doesn’t have good service, that text isn’t going to get out either.” As the county’s land mobile radio system is updated and enhanced with new towers and phone car-

They rushed over to help, with Trevillian initially doing the chest compression. Curlings then took over chest compressions so Trevillian could go to the truck and get the mask so they could also breathe into the victim’s mouth. They continued CPR until EMTs arrived. The woman was overcome with exhaustion nearby. Curlings said he was trained on CPR when he used to work in the construction industry but he never thought he would have to use it.

might find a signal and have it go through, Nolan said. If someone attempts to send a text to 911 where the service is not yet available, Federal Communications Commission rules require all wireless carriers and other text messaging providers to send an automatic "bounce-back" message that will advise them to contact emergency services by another means, such as making a voice call or using telecommunications relay service (for persons who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a speech disability), according to the FCC’s website. Bounceback messages are intended to minimize the risk of

“It was mind-numbing. I just did what I knew how to do and wish somebody would do for anybody. But I know the training you receive will never, never prepare you to put your hands on a human being. It teaches you what to do, but when you actually have to do it for somebody, it is a whole different thing,” Curlings said. After the man was taken away in an ambulance by EMTs, Curlings said he and Trevillian met with a VDOT supervisor who said they could be done for the day, but they decided to go ahead and finish their work day. Curlings said he hopes to visit the man in the hospital to see how he is doing. “I would do it for anybody, because if something happened

quickly ascertain the situation or write their own responses, Gillespie said. There were some worries that adding textto-911 in Virginia a few years ago might lead to prank and harassing texts, but it turned out that it was less than 1 percent of the overall call volume, Nolan said. “People are very cognizant of the fact that you can track that phone. You can figure out who put that information in. Those are all variables of why people don’t abuse it. And right now it has been working really well in a lot of places,” he said. If someone can’t call 911 and must send a text, Nolan said the text needs

to me, I would hope somebody would do it for me,” Curlings said. Chaffins said hearing a victim has survived is definitely a highlight of the job, but she added any one of the dispatchers there would have done the same and provided CPR instructions. “The wife did the work and the VDOT worker did the work. I just happened to be the one on the other end of the phone that day. But that is what we are trained to do. It doesn’t happen very often that we find out someone was actually saved, but it does make us feel good that what we do has a good outcome,” she said.

PET of the WEEK Meet Kip! He is a young adult male with long orange fur. Kip is definitely a Powhatan success story! He has made such great progress since he first arrived at PAC. He was absolutely terrified of humans and after hard work and patience he has really come around and is an awesome, great cat! He is very friendly and cute and has really started to show off his spunky side. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really comfy when you catch him lying on his back with all four paws in the air. He is a favorite here at the shelter and we really hope that he finds the loving forever home that he deserves! If Kip is not the one for you, we have tons of other cats and kittens available for adoption! If interested, please give us a call at 804-598-5672 to schedule a meet and great!

If you would like to help the animals in our care, you can do so by donating to our medical fund at Claws and Paws, 4313 Anderson Hwy., Powhatan, VA 23139

COOPER Continued from pg. 1

They are grateful for the people who made Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12th birthday fun even though he had to celebrate in the hospital. They are thankful for the people who helped look after and entertain Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend and younger brother, Reece, 10, while the family was wrapped up in taking care of Cooper. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about the people who stayed overnight at the hospital with Cooper so his parents could get some much needed rest at home. Several businesses have held fundraisers and a few are still coming up. People sent cards, held fundraisers, and donated gift cards and funds - $18,551 in a GoFundMe campaign alone since June 7. They also started prayer chains that stretched around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been wonderful and it continues. We really need it to continue because now we are at that juncture where we have him back and he is doing well,â&#x20AC;? Ray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now all of the logistical things are starting to hit us. So the community is really helping us through that as well.â&#x20AC;? The biggest logistic is managing Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s follow-up care. He goes to occupational and physical therapy sessions two to three times a week. He quickly mastered basics like buttoning up his shirt. Now he is focused on getting back to his beloved basketball. A regulation basketball was too heavy, but Reece found a light playground ball for his

Early work begins on census awareness By Laura McFarland News Editor

ount me in. This was one of the slogans discussed at the first meeting of the Powhatan Complete Count Committee, which will use its local knowledge, influence and resources to educate the public about the 2020 Census. Members met on July 17 at the Powhatan County Public Library to discuss what they can do to help get the word out about the census in the coming months before it actually kicks off in spring 2020. The unvarnished truth of the matter – and what was obviously met with a little bit of dissatisfaction among the committee – is that almost the entire responsibility for aiming to increase participation for this federal census is put on the local level’s shoulders. They don’t have a budget or easily personalized promotional materials, so they have to “reinvent the wheel” to figure out the best ways to get the word out. Even though it is several months away, the committee is rightly gearing up to help get the word out to all

citizens. They also are looking for ways to promote the benefits of the citizens among groups that are historically undercounted in the census: children under age 5, age group 18 to 24, veterans, non-English speakers, immigrants, persons with a disability and seniors. The census is something that pops up fairly regularly in my work as the numbers can be used to demonstrate trends in all areas of life, so, professionally, I have long been aware of its importance. Every 10 years, the results of the census are used to reapportion the House of Representatives, determining how many seats each state gets. After each census, state officials use the results to redraw the boundaries of their congressional and state legislative districts, adapting to population shifts. But for Powhatan as a whole, the importance is much larger. Population totals and some of the other data tracked by the census are huge factors in deciding who gets federal funds and grants at both the county and state level. The federal government is responsible for allocating more than $675 billion of taxpayer funds – including yours – on schools, hospitals, roads, public works and other important programs. Wouldn’t you like

to see Powhatan get its fair share? This kind of information also will continue to be important in the ongoing question of Powhatan’s growth and economic development. Census data can be an important factor in the decision to locate or relocate a business in the county. It also is vital to track how Powhatan is growing in relation to ongoing local issues such as schools, roads, public works, law enforcement, emergency services, and water usage. Before we can plan for the future, it’s good to know what we already have. We’ve got a little time on this – the first invitations to respond online to the 2020 Census go out in March 2020. But with something on this broad of a scale, it’s good to help get the word out. It’s great to see the committee formed and ready to spread the news. Some communities – including neighboring localities – have yet to make any real effort in forming a committee, according to committee chair Carla Neidigh. Most importantly, as Carla put it during the meeting, “It doesn’t hurt anybody to comply, but it could help somebody.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Taking the plunge at the Falls By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

It’s easy to appreciate the unbridled power of Niagara Falls, and it’s a great place for a family vacation, a spectacle that has stood the test of time. A glance at the natural wonder on television portrays a vision of unbelievable fury and offers a small view of just what attracts millions of visitors a year. But, standing beside the rail on the American side of the Falls is a completely different experience and causes the most cynical of onlookers to stand back and take a breath. The sound of the roaring water as it approaches the 180-foot drop is enough to make many visitors step back and view the phenomenon from a distance, and watching the tons of water pour over the rim instills fear in the bravest of onlookers. It’s a natural wonder that never gets old, and, for centuries, visitors have flocked to the area to view the Falls, feel the mist, and enjoy one of the most awesome views on earth. The most demanding skeptics exit the viewing area with a new sense of respect for the power of nature in its rawest form. It’s a place that deserves, or, should I say, demands respect from its visitors, thousands of tourists eager to stand on the edge and witness the largest waterfall in North America. There’s also an aura of adventure that surrounds the Falls and its long history of daredevils who have attempted, and mostly failed, to conquer the plunge, a feat first attempted and successfully completed in 1901 by a lady called Annie Edison Taylor. She braved the falls in an oak barrel with a pillow at one end and an anvil at the other. As rescuers pulled her from the small backwaters around the Falls, she emerged with a message that no other person should try this. Taylor thought the feat would make her famous and rich, but she died penniless living in the poor house near Niagara Falls. Niagara’s first lady and her feat prompted a number of efforts by famous and infamous daredevils who attempted to duplicate her feat, most of them ending up being identified by recovered body parts. The long history of challenging the Falls in all sorts of contraptions adds to the atmosphere surrounding the powerful attraction, and a cottage industry telling the illustrious

past is sort of a must-see Niagara sideshow has emerged. I remember my trip to the Falls as a child for many reasons, but it’s the tall tales surrounding the efforts of those daredevils that left the most lasting impression. I recall one of them who walked across the expanse on a tight rope several times and then finally died when he slipped on a banana peel and succumbed to the ensuing infection. The most famous incident involved two children and their uncle out on a boating trip far up the Niagara River in the 1960s when their outboard engine failed and they began drifting toward the rapids and the impending edge. A famous photo displayed in Niagara portrays a tourist at the rail of the Falls extending a hand and snatching the small girl just before she drops. The uncle drowned in the mishap, but the young boy went over the Falls with just a life preserver for protection and survived with minor injuries. Looking at the power of the water as it makes that drop would lead anyone to believe that no human could survive such a jarring fall with a landing on huge rocks that dot the bottom of the Falls. The small boy did survive, and, shortly afterwards, officials made it a crime to test the mighty Falls. The later attempts at the Falls resulted in a media circus, and failed attempts placed an undue hazard on emergency workers tasked with rescue or recovery. The unique aura associated with those early daredevils remains, and the power of the Falls is constant. Unfortunately, about two dozen people lose their lives annually by committing suicide at the iconic site, plunging themselves in the river and going over the Falls. Last week, a man took the plunge near the Canadian side of the Falls, the largest and highest of the series of formations. He quickly disappeared and officials assumed the worst and began a dismal recovery effort under the falls. To their surprise, the man was found sitting on a rock with only minor injuries. It seems high water levels on the river and in the basin below the Falls may have saved him from certain death. Or, perhaps he just got lucky on what seemed like the most unlucky day of his life. Who said there’s no such thing as a second chance? 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

TO THE WORLD SERIES! By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

OWHATAN – Weston Richardson has been playing baseball ever since he was “knee-high to a grasshopper;” he always dreamed of getting to play in the World Series. It was a lifelong dream shared by his dad Jamey Richardson, the head coach of Weston’s 15-19-yearold Powhatan Majors team. Jamey grew up playing baseball, and he went to youth league states a couple of times, but never made it to the youth world level. Jamey’s dad – Weston’s grandfather – coached softball teams all the way up to the state finals, but Jamey said that he also never

got to that next step. But before they even started playing this season, there was something in Weston’s gut telling him: no matter what, do not give up on your team. “Before the season even started” – he said – “I knew we were going to the World Series. I had that gut feeling we were going.” And now – for Jamey, for his son Weston and for everyone on the Powhatan Majors team – that lifelong dream has become reality. Circumstances have enabled Powhatan, the runnerup in its state tournament, to represent Virginia in the 2019 Dixie Majors Baseball World Series 3 days from now in Sterlington, Louisiana. “It’s a dream come true,” Weston said. “It’s just crazy

to me that we’re getting this opportunity…it’s just awesome the fact that the group that I grew up with is going to the World Series – the group I played baseball with all my life.” When it came to playing in the World Series, the coaching staff of Jamey Richardson, Mike Ritt and Butch Conner felt like it was one of those opportunities that they couldn’t turn down. “We’re gonna do everything we can to go there,” Jamey said, “and represent Powhatan and Virginia very well and have a great time.” The Powhatan Majors has a good mixture of boys – “a great group of boys,” Jamey said – who have played baseball at Powhatan High School and Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

Initially, the players didn’t really gel very well together as a unit until they got into the state tournament – they had a short regular season that didn’t begin until the end of high school ball because of the age of the studentathletes, and then there were players who hadn’t played with each other as teammates because they were in different grades or at different schools. But the more they played together, Weston observed, the closer they became. “They dug down deep and really came together as a team,” Jamey added. “I guess being out there on the field and seeing what each other can do and rely on each other and playing as a team has really made this team come together.” see MAJORS, pg. 2B

Brandon Eike has had a summer to remember. Within the past month, the rising Powhatan High School senior earned tournament MVP honors with his Canes National 17u team in Florida and helped his Canes win the 376team WWBA 17u National Championship tournament in Georgia as the winning pitcher. Then, on Tuesday evening, Eike added another distinguished title beside “national champion” and “MVP.” He is now a North Carolina Tar Heels Baseball commit. “It’s a pretty big deal to me – I just wanted to find a place that I was happy in and I just felt like that was the perfect fit for me,” Eike said. “I loved everything about it.” Eike likes the way that UNC Baseball goes about things, their “bluesee EIKE, pg. 2B

POWHATAN - Head coach Eric Mead has emphasized two key points about his Post 201 team and the American Legion baseball season. First, what matters most is how his team is playing in the closing stretch. Secondly, he’s got the bats to compete. It’s now the closing stretch, and Post 201’s bats have been on fire. Led by another monster night from Donovan Murphy, the Dirt Sox catapulted themselves out of an early 6-2 hole to deny Post 361 13-9 in their regular season finale. Murphy crushed two home runs in

his 2-for-3 batting performance and produced at least one RBI in each of his first three plate appearances for a grand total of six on the evening. All three of his run-plating efforts were highlights: his two-run shot in the first inning tied the game early at 2-2, his sacrifice fly in the second again knotted up the game at 6-all, and - after a sac fly gave Post 361 the lead again his three-run blast over the right field wall in the fourth lifted his team back to the point for good. “Donovan has done such a good job with that - I think he struggled for about three games there in about the middle of the season and he worked hard to get his swing back,” Mead said. “He’s hitting the ball well right now.” But Murphy wouldn’t have gotten four of his six RBIs without the effective approaches ahead of him in the lineup. His first homer tied the game thanks in part to Connor Woodel reaching base on an error. The fastball over see LEGION, pg. 3B

Ranges of ages, skill level enjoy game together Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

OWHATAN – Some of the campers were young; with joy, the new Powhatan Volleyball head coach Cindy Bryant pointed to the “two awesome seven-yearolds” who were in attendance. Some were older; one out-of-state 16-year-old volleyball player was staying in the area for the summer, and she had come to the camp to further her preparation for the coming season with her team down in South Carolina. Some girls were playing volleyball for the first time. Others have been regulars on the court since elementary school. But for four days of camp (July 1518), 44 girls ranging in ages, skill level and playing experience came together at Powhatan High School with instruction from Powhatan’s coaches and older players to learn and enjoy the game of volleyball. “It’s cool that all different ages and skills and years of playing volleyball and experience can come together and just have fun playing,” said rising Powhatan High School senior Star Bryant, who was also one of the camp’s court coaches. “It’s really rewarding to see how happy they get doing it,” added rising junior and court coach Natalie Mueller. “I don’t think I had a camp like this…and it’s nice to see how many girls find out about it and want to play volleyball, too.” The camp taught four basic skills to all groups who attended: passing, setting, serving and attacking. The girls were divided into three courts – beginner, intermediate and advanced - with players getting the opportunity to advance courts during the week and also learn blocking on the upper court. Rising sophomores, juniors and se-

“We all talk, we all joke around, we’re honestly all best friends now,” Weston said. “To see how far we came along in the little bit of time that we’ve had is just mind-blowing – absolutely mind-blowing.” While they didn’t really have a time to do any kind of team-building activities outside of baseball practice, the team turned the Wednesday before the state tournament into a day of scrimmages, with the three coaches getting in and scrimmaging the players as well. “I’m proud to say that we hung right in there with them and tied the leading team that night,” Jamey said lightheartedly. “Just little stuff like that…we have fun at practice, and then when it comes down to actually playing hardcore baseball, the boys really got together and played hard for one general cause. We’ve got a lot of heart. I’m very proud of Weston and all the kids on the team who have stepped up and done an amazing job.” Weston – who plays outfield and second base in addition to pitching – sees himself as the team captain; he can be heard loudly in the

coach approach to everything, the hospitality and the coaching staff.” The coaches, he said, like to work. “They’re about their business, and I think that’s what makes them so good – just work ethic,” Eike said. He spoke to wanting to be in a winning program with similar guys like him who have a similar approach, want to win and like to work. He’ll join a program that definitely knows how to win, as the Tar Heels captured the 2019 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Tournament Championship and assembled a 46-19 record.

niors in the Powhatan volleyball program, like Bryant and Mueller, helped out with the camp as court coaches, leading the campers through the stations and also putting themselves in the mix of drills so that the campers can see what they, too, can aim for. “They’ll feel more comfortable coming up to varsity,” Mueller added of the incoming players. “It gives them a chance to say, ‘Oh! They’re just like me! They’re not scary…’ I feel like with us teaching them and helping them, they’re not going to be scared or anything.” “And it’s fun because…we’re not only coaching them; we’re interacting and playing with them,” Bryant said. Overseeing the camp was new

dugout getting his teammates pumped up, his dad Jamey observed. Jamey added that both Ritt and Weston have great bats, and they both help lead the Powhatan Majors from the mound. D.J. Herring has also been a strong pitcher, and catching, Jamey noted, has been great with players like Carson Conner, Reese Barden and Zach Miles. The Powhatan Majors have speed in the outfield; Isaac Trent is able to run down flyballs that the staff wouldn’t think the players would be able to get to, and he’s made key catches in the gap. The batting lineup is strong all the way through, and the bench is talented, with players able to sub in and make great plays for the team. “We’re just a good group of boys all the way through,” Jamey said. Powhatan has four players who will age out of the program at the end of the year: Weston, Evan Laxton, Reese Barden and Tanner Ritt – guys who have been playing together for years, even as far back as T-ball. “Before the tournament, I went and talked to the boys and I told them…’We have four guys that are aging out, and I want you to sit there and think for a minute: you’ve

It’s my first experience with [the Powhatan volleyball camp] and it’s going great,” Bryant said, “and it’s really fun to see what you learn about your own players as they lead others in the skills, because you really have to understand the skill to be able to teach it well, so it’s fun to watch your own players grow in the ability to coach

One of the biggest Dixie League baseball state tournament games that Powhatan played this year – the second game against Buckingham – showed Jamey the kind of heart and character his players possessed. Buckingham jumped out early, leading 11-5, but Powhatan, despite playing another game in the hot sun earlier in the day and now taking on this team around 9:30 or 10 at night, didn’t give up and battled back. The players rallied to tie Buckingham and force extra innings. Powhatan won that game in the bottom of the eighth; Evan Laxton drilled a line drive up the middle for a lead-off double, and Zach Miles, batting second, saw a pitch that Jamey described as “absolutely perfect” and launched it all the way to the

Tech commit since 10th grade, but on July 4, 2019, he announced he was reopening his recruitment process. “It was pretty hard on me,” he said. “I had to sit long and hard and think about it, and it just was the right choice for me to make at the time.” He found his new home through “mainly just playing with the great coaches” he’s had over the summer; “they have endless connections with almost anybody in the country.” Playing with the Canes’ players also helped a lot. “All the guys I’m playing with are extremely good,” Eike said. “They’re all going to a similarly good program [like] UNC, so it’s always good to play with guys with similar

a court.” Mueller added: “I feel like it helps me to learn how to lead a group and be confident with that.” With the goal of setting a new culture for Powhatan Girls Volleyball, the program is focusing on character and how that character affects a team’s play on the court. This year’s theme is “Passion, Humility, Service (PHS).” “I’m a huge culture coach; I believe it’s almost as important as the skill on the court in affecting your team’s ability to work well together to achieve your goal,” Coach Bryant said. “I’m excited because I think the girls are buying-in to a new culture, and seeing them jump on board with where we’re trying to head it.”

outfield fence, bringing home Laxton for the walk-off run. They played Goochland in the state final, but Powhatan lost, concluding the tournament as state runners-up. But they hadn’t concluded their season. Despite winning the state championship, Goochland did not have enough players to go, meaning that the bid to advance to the next level of play fell to Powhatan, the state runners-up. The team has started a GoFundMe page to help with travel expenses related to the World Series, including hotels and food. More information on the team’s GoFundMe page can be found on their Facebook page: ‘2019 Powhatan County Major’s world series bound.’ Everyone on the team, Weston said, is looking forward to seeing the competition from across the Southeast Region of the United States. The World Series for Virginia (Powhatan) kicks off Saturday, July 27 against North Carolina’s all-stars at 10 a.m. in Sterlington, Louisiana. “We’re all super psyched,” Weston said. “Whether we win or lose, it’s just gonna be a great memory.”

skill sets – and just always pushing yourself to be better.” As he did with Virginia Tech, Eike is committing to UNC with the rare Division I designation of two-way player. He joins the Tar Heels both as a pitcher and infielder. “Two-way is pretty hard to do in the ACC,” Eike noted. “But until either pitching or hitting really sticks out, it’s kind of: you do both until you kind of break out as one or another.” Eike has shown that he can get the job done in the field, on the mound and beside the plate. He led his young and talented Powhatan Baseball team to the 2019 regional quarterfinals with a pitching performance that saw him go 9-1 on

Both teams locked each other down through a scoreless tie before Powhatan’s bats finally came alive. The first three-quarters of Powhatan’s batting rotation had gone down in order and only one runner reached base through the first four innings, with the two runners who did reach base getting caught stealing by Amherst’s fielders. But after they twice stranded Amherst’s runners on third base in the third and fourth innings with the help of two strikeouts from starting pitcher Kaelyn Keaton and Kaylee Cook keeping hold of a big flyout after she hit the ground with the flyball in hand, the Ponytails found their groove at the plate in the top of the fifth. “The girls wanted it - and they fought for it,” Beagle said. “They pushed through, fought for it and they worked hard, and it shows.” The Ponytails chained together three hits - a double by Isabelle Chandler, a launch by Liza Watkins and a hit into shallow right field by Keaton - before Haylee Miller added the golden link in that chain with a laser up the middle for the two-run trip to second base, breaking a scoreless tie and putting Powhatan ahead 2-0. Amherst rallied to knot up the ballgame 2-2 with base runners beating two infield plays to plate their teammates across the fifth and

Eike for the 2019 spring season was named to First Team All-Metro for pitcher, made All-State for both pitcher and shortstop and earned Region 4B Player of the Year honors. He earned both the start and the win on the mound in the Canes’ WWBA national 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. He and his Canes denied the Dallas Patriots 17u Stout, 8-3, for the

prestigious title. Eike earlier in the month said his fastball in the tournament was in the 8991 mile-per-hour range, and according to Perfect Game, he was also throwing a 76-mph curveball. In the Wilson Premier Championship East tournament in Florida held late June, Eike earned tournament MVP honors, and he and his Canes won the tournament championship 3-0 over the Coastal Prospects. Eike looks forward to coming in, working hard as he can and “seeing how it goes from there” with the Tar Heels. “It’s awesome – definitely a great program,” he said of UNC. “I’m definitely really excited to get to work up there.”

With camp, FH team creating early interest Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

OWHATAN – For some of the students who go to Powhatan schools, the four days they spent with Powhatan Field Hockey’s players and coaches were an introduction to a whole new world… …while still retaining that fun familiarity you find at summer camp. They gained hands-on experience with the game through drills and played each other in game time situations, with some girls getting to work on goalie skills. They also smiled as they ran after each other in a game of tag, and kept cool on the hot days with competitions like sponge relay races. The camp, Powhatan Field Hockey head coach Stephanie Tyson said, is about giving the participants an introduction to field hockey and creating a fun, family-like atmosphere. Her players agreed. “One thing I’ve noticed with the younger kids is that they’re excited to come out and play every single day,” said rising senior midfielder Madeline Cecil. “They come and they’re all smiling, ready to warm-up and learn something new and play the sport.” This most recent field hockey summer camp – which Powhatan has been holding for about five years now – featured quite a few younger campers including middle schoolers. “We’re seeing a lot more younger kids out here this year…we had a couple of eighth graders on the team last year; a lot of these kids [at this camp] are eighth graders,” Tyson said. Most of the time, the new campers come in having never played field hockey, so they learn the basics and fundamentals – which include holding a field hockey stick as well as dribbling, passing and hitting - and then progress to games as the week goes on. “I think it’s really beneficial for the younger girls especially because I know personally many of us who are standing here right now just kind of showed up to tryouts freshman year when a JV team was first established, not even knowing what field hockey was,” said rising senior forward Hayley Moss. “But we have girls out here who…can start founding these skills super early and then they can just come out onto the JV team their 8th grade year and just

absolutely rock it out.” The campers were catching on quick, observed rising senior right defender Alicia Dern. “They catch on so quickly; we’ll show them one thing, and then they’ll get it after one or two tries,” Dern said. “They’re really good….because it took me years to catch on, and they’re catching on way faster than I did.” Rising senior forward Erin Barney saw that some of the campers’ athletic experience from other sports – the powerful hits from the girls who also play softball, the strong drives and push passes from the girls who also play soccer and lacrosse – carry over to the field hockey field; Moss picked up on how some of the players were much more determined than she thought they’d be. “A lot of these girls are really open to coaching and opening themselves up to learning and improving, and they’ll go back and they’ll fix their mistake and they’ll relearn how to do it,” Moss said. “I’ve definitely seen a lot less giving up recently and a lot more willing to improve, and that’s huge.” The campers’ main teachers – the camp counselors – are also the program’s seniors and older players. “It’s good because the younger players really look up to the older ones,” Tyson said, adding of those older players: “They basically run the camp, and they’re just great kids.” When it’s time for camp, Tyson doesn’t even have to ask the seniors – they’re just there. She does meet with them and they talk about their goals for

the camp and what they want to accomplish before splitting up into groups, but those leading players - featuring versatile athlete Michala Taylor - look forward to being out on there on the field with the campers. “And they’re doing a great job,” Tyson said. “They pretty much plan their work schedules around it…by the time they are seniors, they’re excited that they get to be the camp counselors. It ends up being a fun week for them, and I appreciate it. It’s kind of what building the program is all about.” “I’ve learned how to get a bigger voice,” Dern said, “and how to get people to be more interested in and into the sport.” “Being a counselor has taught me how to better explain things in field hockey,” Barney said, “and it also feels good to see the younger kids pick up on it and to encourage them.” “Being a counselor for the camp gets you used to looking for people who need help and then wanting to help them and cooperating with them,” contributed rising junior right forward Hanna Hathaway. “A big part of it is encouragement and it brings a lot of positivity to the field.” “We’ve always had really good leaders on field hockey,” added rising senior center defender Ella Weber. “It’s [important] to mimic them for the younger girls. We have big shoes to fill.” “I think it’s really important to have people to look up to…when you’re younger,” said rising senior keeper Emily Stephenson, “and just be able to have

something to look forward to going into something new like field hockey.” By introducing the game of field hockey to a group of students who may have never heard of the game before, the camp also helps Powhatan Field Hockey with its goal of growing the program. “It allows us to get all the spider webs out before the actual season starts and allows us to come back together as a team,” Stephenson noted. “For the younger girls it lets them explore new skills and realize [if] this is what they want to do in the future or not.” “If they come in this camp – they have a good time and everything – then they can get their friends to come the next year,” Hathaway said, “and then it just ultimately grows the whole program and then we can improve the whole thing.” Tyson pointed out that the returning players are both great role models for the younger campers and the type of student-athletes you hope for in a program. “The community has watched us grow over the past few years and it helps that we have built a winning tradition,” she added. “Also, folks hear about the family-type atmosphere that [fellow field hockey coach Caryn Rehme] and I are working hard to build. “Rehme and I work side-by-side with both teams on a daily basis,” Tyson said. “We both have the same coaching philosophy, want the kids to have fun and also hope to teach them life lessons along with the sport of field hockey. “

sixth frames, but in the top of the seventh for the Ponytails, Chandler walked, Watkins took a hit by pitch and Keaton drove them in with the help of an error in right field to give Powhatan the lead once more. Miller then clocked another extra-base hit to send home Keaton for what would ultimately end up being the winning run. Miller finished the day batting 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and 3 RBIs. Amherst gained back two runs in the bottom of the seventh, but after relief pitcher Anna Yarbrough caught two pop flies in the diamond, she fielded the ball one last time and tossed the ball to first base on the 1-3 play for the final out of the game, stranding the tying base runner in scoring position, securing the pitching win in the circle and ensuring

the victory for her team in the opening round. Yarbrough pitched the remaining four innings and struck out four batters across the fifth and sixth frames. Powhatan on Saturday took a tough 13-3 loss to Brunswick to move to the elimination bracket, in which the Ponytails faced Buckingham on Sunday. Powhatan led 4-2, but Buckingham rallied over the middle and closing portions of the contest to capture the lead. Chandler, Watkins, Keaton and Brooklynn Narbut all scored for Powhatan. Both teams also weathered an 80-minute delay for area lightning strikes, and then the Ponytails kept the game knottedup until Buckingham went ahead in the top of the final inning. “They tried really hard...I can’t be more proud of them,” Beagle said of her Ponytails, “and I look forward to what the future holds for all of us.”

phy’s play. Preston batted 3-for-4 with an RBI and scored three runs. Gayness batted 2-for-3 and scored three runs. Waters batted 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, and Murphy added two runs scored to his statline while ending the game by catching a lineout at first base. Woodel had two RBIs and scored a run. The pitching win went to Stone Talley, who was among four pitchers to take the mound for Post 201 on Sunday. He took the hill with one out on the board in the fourth inning and delivered one and two-thirds innings of work. Woodel at third base, Waters at catcher and Murphy at first base combined on a 5-2-3 double play with the bases loaded to pull Post 201 out of the fourth inning. Post 361 rocked a solo shot in the top of the fifth, but Post 201 piled on four insurance

runs in the following half-inning to pull away. Mead said his team put the bats together well, and the pitching’s starting to come around well. “We pitched a lot of pitchers tonight, and I think in combination they did a very good job,” Mead said. “I think we’re set up well going into the district tournament and keeping our fingers crossed and hoping for the best.” And right now, the players are having fun. “The team has been through a lot just with players coming and going and moving kids around, trying to find the right spots for them,” Mead said. “I think they’re sitting in a little bit of a comfort zone, a little bit of a comfort level right now, and they’re having a good time playing together.” As of press time, Post 201 was awaiting seeding for the district tournament.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING POWHATAN COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION Notice is hereby given, pursuant to § 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, that the Planning Commission of Powhatan County will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, at 7:00 PM in the Powhatan County Village Building Auditorium, 3910 Old Buckingham Road, to consider the following requests: Case #19-06-CUP: Christopher and Joy Basic (District #4: Powhatan Courthouse/Mt. Zion) request a conditional use permit (CUP) to permit a detached accessory dwelling unit within the Single-Family Residential-2 (R-2) zoning district per Sec. 83-213 of the zoning ordinance of the County of Powhatan. The use is proposed to be located on Tax Map Parcel #38D-2-16, located at 1645 Hollow Log Drive. The subject property consists of 4.1 acres. The 2019 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Rural Preservation on the Countywide Future Land Use Plan. Case #19-03-REZC: East West Communities (District #1: Subletts/Manakin/Flat Rock) requests the rezoning of Tax Map Parcels #43-61, 43-64, and 43-64E and a portion of Tax Map Parcel #43-63 from Agricultural-10 (A-10) to Commerce Center Planned Development (CC-PD) and Village Residential Planned Development (VR-PD) and amendment of the zoning district map of approximately 120.68 acres of land located on the north side of State Route 675 (Page Road) near its intersection with U.S. Route 60 (Anderson Highway) adjacent to the Chesterfield County line. Approximately 6.98 acres would be rezoned to CCPD and approximately 113.7 acres would be rezoned to VR-PD, which permits residential densities of up to four dwelling units per acre developed in accordance with a master plan. Proffered conditions address a master plan of development, cash proffers, maximum density (up to 249 dwelling units), access and circulation, and building materials. The 2019 LongRange Comprehensive Plan designates the subject properties as Commerce Center, Village Residential, and Natural Conservation (Route 60 Corridor East Special Area Plan) on the Countywide Future Land Use Plan, with maximum recommended residential densities in the Village Residential land use designation being four dwelling units per acre. Case #19-05-REZ: Scott O’Connell (District #2: Powhatan Station/Graceland) requests the rezoning of Tax Map Parcel #41C-1-18 from General Commercial (C) with proffered conditions to Commerce Center (CC) and amendment of the zoning district map of approximately 1.2 acres of land located on the western end of State Route 1044 (New Dorset Circle), approximately 1,000 feet southeast of the intersection of U.S. Route 60 (Anderson Highway) and State Route 1043 (New Dorset Road). The 2019 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Commerce Center (Route 60 Corridor East Special Area Plan) on the Countywide Future Land Use Plan. Case #19-08-AZ: The County of Powhatan requests the amendment and reenactment of provisions set forth in Chapter 83 (Zoning Ordinance), Article XII (Interpretations) to clarify language regarding accessory dwelling units and density; the measurement of corner yards; and the relationship between minimum front yard requirements and road classifications. All Planning Commission meetings are open to the public and interested persons are encouraged to attend on the day and time specified above.
