VDOT holds meeting on Route 60 study By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – A meeting meant to gather public input on a new multi-county study of Route 60 took a contentious turn last week when some citizens made it clear they didn’t think it was enough. About 100 people attended one of two public meetings meant to seek public comment on a study authorized by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) of a 103-mile stretch of the Route 60 corridor. The meeting was held on Wednesday, July 24 at Powhatan Middle

School. In addition to these public meetings, citizens may provide written comments by Aug. 3 to Darrel Johnson, VDOT Project Manager, 1401 East Broad St., Richmond VA 23219 or via email to Darrel. Johnson@VDOT.Virginia.gov. Reference “Route 60 Corridor Study” in the subject line of any e-mail correspondence. During the Powhatan meeting, citizens listened intently to a 25-minute presentation by Brad Shelton, director of planning for Michael Baker International, the study PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND consultant, as he outlined the parameters Powhatan resident Cecil Youngblood, who moved to the county in 1971, see VDOT, pg. 3

said a proposed study’s focus on four-lane portions of Route 60 won’t help residents living on and traversing the two-lane stretch.

POWHATAN – Jim Siemens is back on the rock ‘n’ roll trail, but it’s merchandise that is keeping him traveling across the country this summer rather than music.

Through the end of August, Siemens of Powhatan is working on the merchandise crew for The Rolling Stones’ No Filter 2019 tour. The job will have him traveling around the nation pulling a merchandise trailer to 14 of the 15 cities on the band’s tour. You can’t miss him. The 45foot trailer is decorated on one side with a giant “STONES” and the band’s signature mouth with its tongue out. The other side has the words and symbol set against brightly colored backgrounds and the tour name, No Filter. Siemens has been working in the live event merchandise industry for 36 years – a career that until

this summer could be divided into two distinct periods – 16 years of following live bands and about 20 years on motorsports circuits. But in joining The Rolling Stones’ tour, Siemens said he is coming full circle in his career, which he still loves. “What stands out? I got to see the world and I didn’t have to work 8 to 5, five days a week for 36 years. I don’t even know what it would be like,” he said. This gig is slightly easier than when Siemens worked as a merchandising live event manager in the past, he said. Then he could exsee SIEMENS, pg. 5

POWHATAN – A Powhatan judge ruled on several motions last week in the case of the estranged wife of a Powhatan County man killed in his home in 2016 who has been charged with his murder. Circuit Court Judge Paul Cella issued a written opinion last week to address several motions made by the defense and the Henrico Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, which will be handling the case after the members of the Powhatan office recused themselves. The decisions were based on arguments the two sides made in a motions hearing on Tuesday, July 16. Matthew Ackley and Susan Parrish, special assistant commonwealth’s attorneys, represented the prosecution, and Craig Cooley is Karina Rafter’s defense attorney. Karina Rafter is charged in the death of her husband, John Richard Rafter Jr., 48, who was killed on Dec. 9, 2016, at his home in the 2100 block of Flint Hill Road. Rafter’s body was discovered on Dec. 9 by his teenage son, who found him in his bed with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner released on Dec. 14, 2016, that Rafter’s death was a homicide. John and Karina Rafter were married but in the process of a divorce at

RAFTER

the time of his death. After a two-year investigation, indictments were issued on Feb. 6 against Karina Rafter for one count of first degree murder and one count of use of a firearm in the commission of the a felony. In his written opinion, Cella denied one motion each of the defense and Commonwealth, said the decisions on two more motions would have to wait until the trial in October, and ruled certain information introduced by the Commonwealth was admissible. One overarching theme that ran through the proceedings was to determine how much of the Rafters’ history – both as individuals and a couple – could be used in the trial. Cella had to address issues of past drug use, statements of fear by John Rafter made to a witness, and evidence regarding a case of assault by the defendant against the victim almost a year before John Rafter’s death. On the matter of the assault, Cella denied the Commonwealth’s motion to enter this as evidence. One of the Commonwealth’s motions addressed the alternative theories regarding John Rafter’s death that Coolsee TRIAL, pg. 4

CRIME BRIEFS Powhatan resident accused of murdering roommate back in Virginia A Powhatan man who is the main suspect in the murder of his 23-year-old roommate is back in Virginia after being extradited from New York State. Anthony Johnny Davenport, 25, of Powhatan, arrived on July 18 in Powhatan, where he faces charges of felony malicious wounding and robbery, according to Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney. A second degree murder charge has also been filed against Davenport in Louisa County, where the body of Terell Jordan Bailey, 23, of Powhatan was discovered on June 22 on a desolate country road. Bailey was one of Davenport’s roommates. The two cases are being handled independently by the respective counties, but they are cooperating with each other and both jurisdictions have made use of the multijurisdictional grand jury, Cerullo said. Davenport was arraigned in Powhatan on July 19 and has a preliminary hearing set for Sept. 13. A court date had not been set yet in Louisa.

FIRE & RESCUE BRIEFS On June 25, Medic 721 and EMS 702 were dispatched to a bee sting at the 2700 block of Windy Hill Lane. As units responded, the call was upgraded to full arrest, CPR in progress.

of the study and its possible implications. The study is looking at the capacity of the road and is specifically studying 10 intersections – seven of which are located in Powhatan County. In Powhatan County, the study will look at Route 60’s intersections with Red Lane, South Creek One, Batterson Road (East). New Dorset Road, Batterson Road (West), Dorset Road, and Maidens Road. The study will also look at Route 15 (Sprouse’s Corner) and Route 24 (Mt Rush Hwy) in Buckingham County and 29 Interchange in Amherst County. Shelton said his company is incorporating a traffic impact analysis study with data accepted by VDOT. They will “inflate that up to 2040 to see what the impacts are in 2040.” The study takes into account different projects that are being proposed and considered in localities on the Route 60 corridor, including the Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility, a landfill currently proposed to be built in Cumberland County close to the Powhatan line. Shelton made it clear that the likely desired outcome of the study would be to determine ways to preserve Route 60’s existing capacity without “wholesale road widenings” through the use of techniques such as innovative intersections and access management. “The way transportation funding is set up in Virginia now is competitive. We have a process called SMART Scale, and with that process, it is very difficult to get expensive projects advanced,” he said. “That is why we are looking for alternatives to wide-scale road widening, because road widenings are frankly very expensive.” But when he opened the floor for questions, many in attendance made it clear they didn’t think a broad study that looked at multiple counties was what was really needed. Instead, many called

for a concentrated study of the impact on Route 60 of the landfill, especially along the two-lane stretch on either side of it in Powhatan and Cumberland counties. Other major issues people raised included the general high volume of traffic traveling Route 60 on the two-lane portion between Route 522 and Cumberland County and desired improvements near Page Road to mitigate congestion. Following the meeting, VDOT Chesterfield residency engineer Kyle Bates requested that several additional items be included in the study, including comparing the projected Level of Service (LOS) on the Route 60 thoroughfare in Powhatan with the existing LOS. Bates also asked that each study intersection have a projected LOS completed and compared with the existing LOS, and that the portion of Route 522 from Route 60 to Route 711 be added.The intersection of Route 711 should also be added to the study, Bates said, and compared to existing LOS.

Wanting a different study According to VDOT, the current Route 60 study is the result of bills introduced several years in a row by Sen. Mark Peake, R-22, to update a 1999 corridor study looking at the same stretch of road. But Powhatan resident Victoria Ronnau talked about a letter that Sen. Emmett Hanger Jr., R-24, sent to VDOT Commissioner Stephen Brich on June 16 referencing bills introduced by Sen. Glen Sturtevant, R-10. The two bills, which both failed, request-

ed “VDOT do some further review of the proposed landfill in Cumberland and study the Route 60 corridor between Chesterfield, Powhatan, and Cumberland Counties with respect to traffic flow, congestion, and public safety in light of the proposed landfill in Cumberland.” Hanger requested that VDOT conduct a thorough study of this stretch of road. “Current projections, provided by the Davenport Study, estimate the daily two-way volume of traffic to be 500 trucks for regional trash hauling, 360 local daytime trucks, 88 trips by local residents to the convenience (center), 70 trips for employees and staff, and six for vendors. The majority of these trips will be completed by trucks travelling westbound on Route 60 from Chesterfield and Powhatan as it is the major thoroughfare to Cumberland and the proposed landfill,” Hanger wrote. “For most of its passage through these rural areas, Route 60 is a two-lane roadway that residents, commuters, school buses, and emergency vehicles must use, often with no ability to detour. These facts lead to some concerns about the project and as part of our subcommittee work I agreed to request further review and identification of possible remedies.” Another letter was sent to VDOT on July 22 by Sturtevant, R. Lee Ware, R-65, supervisor David Williams, District 1, and planning commissioner Karin Carmack. The letter reiterated the importance of “ensuring that VDOT’s study of Route 60 and Route 522 involve a comprehensive analysis of the impact on levels of service

caused by the increased traffic by the proposed mega-landfill in Cumberland.” Ronnau and other supporters at last week’s public meeting repeatedly asked Shelton and Chris Detmer, highway programs manager for VDOT, to stand by Hanger’s request for that more concentrated study. Keith Buch of Powhatan said the Route 60 study may improve the flow of traffic on parts of the road, but the citizens are more concerned with the risks associated with so many trash trucks being added to the road.

Hurricane season prepareness Contributed Report

Hurricane season spans six months—from June 1 through November 30. Being prepared for severe weather before bad weather arrives can keep you and your family safe and healthy. Powhatan County Fire and Rescue offered information to remember for important guidance on securing your family, home and pets in the event of a storm. Take time now to go over your family’s emergency plan and make any changes or updates. Share this information with your family and those in your emergency network—friends, family, neighbors, emergency contacts. Prepare for severe weather by downloading the Ready Virginia mobile app to stay up to date on changing conditions. More steps that you can take to keep yourself and loved ones safe include: An emergency kit prepared with supplies. Include things such as: an alternate fuel source for heating your home, flashlights and batteries, blankets, food that needs no cooking or refrigeration, three day supply of water, prescription medicines, battery operated radio, flashlights, and cell phone chargers. Prepare your car with emergency supplies. Have maintenance service on your vehicle as often as the manufacturer recommends. Check batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors. Update important documents: insurance information and home inventory. Store them in your emergency kit or a waterproof container. dates; the lack of improvements made to Route 60 as a result of the study done in 1999; and the focus of the study on operations and safety without including impacts on road maintenance that could be needed as a result of trash trucks.

While Shelton and Detmer tried several times to wrap up the questions to get people to focus on maps on display and submitting their comments in written form, several people in attendance demanded that everyone be allowed to ask their questions or have their say. Some of the topics included: dangers to vehicles traveling the two-lane stretch with a special emphasis on school buses that stop along the way; questioning the timing of the traffic data that was gathered – both times and

Saturday morning breakfast for past generations was a time for catching up with family and friends, while eating a hot home cooked meal around the kitchen table. Now for most of us Saturday morning is just another day with a list of things to do. But, something old is new again in Powhatan. On the first Saturday of each month, everyone is invited to an old-fashioned Community Breakfast with a FREE hot meal and plenty of time for visiting with family, neighbors and friends. When Powhatan United Methodist was looking around for an opportunity to make a difference in the Powhatan community, they realized most Saturday

perience some grueling 24-hour show days, between set up, working the event, closing down and settling up the numbers in the early hours of the following morning. “I used to do that all the time. That part I don’t miss,” he said. On this tour, which he jokingly calls his “old man gig,” Siemens drives a truck pulling the trailer to the cities on the tour and gets it ready to be filled with merchandise. Stadium staff members are in charge of actually selling the merchandise, so it is less stressful around show time. Sometimes he will go and see part of the show – catching a few songs at a time. He joked that eventually he would see an entire concert. From July 10 to 20, his wife Carolyn joined him on the road. He stopped at home on his way south after the Stones’ Foxborough, Massachusetts concert and the couple enjoyed their 36th wedding anniversary on July 9 at home. The next day, they left and took their time driving to New Orleans, all the while watching the weather because of the approaching Hurricane Barry, which ended up delaying that show by a day. She also rode with him to the next show in Jacksonville, Florida. Carolyn Siemens said she is a fan of the Stones and had seen them twice in concert before. “Because I was with him in New Orleans he and I watched the whole show. I loved it. It was great. It was right in front of the stage. We had allaccess passes and stood in the standing-room only section right in front of the stage,” Carolyn Siemens said. “I would say they are just as good even though they have aged some years since then. They sound just as good.”

Taking a risk Although he can’t imagine doing anything else now, this kind of life isn’t something Siemens embraced from the started. He moved to Chesterfield County from his native Ohio in 1981 and took a job as a foreman in a machine shop. Strangely enough, he met his future wife that same year while she was visiting Virginia from Ohio. He had a friend who sold t-shirts on concert tours in the 1970s, but Siemens couldn’t fathom quitting that kind of steady job to go sell shirts. Then in 1982, an economy crunch caused the machine shop where he was working to relocate and Siemens was laid off. The same friend was in Hampton working the merchandise on an Eric PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND Clapton tour and he went Jim Siemens hasn’t always managed merchanto see him.

you ever go to a Mexican restaurant and see Menudo soup, you know it is authentic,” he said. In 1983, Siemens was working a Def Leopard tour and planned to return to Virginia to marry Carolyn on July 9. When drummer Rick Allen heard why Siemens was returning home for awhile, he toasted their impending nuptials. Siemens liked working on Phil Collins’ Dance into the Light Tour in 1997 because they took care of the crew members and the musician was a great guy to work with, Siemens said. He has some memorabilia in the downstairs of his house from some of the tours, including platinum record displays given to crews after certain tours, but he is proudest of a letter from Collins framed alongside a group photo of the entire tour crew.

that.” When he talks about the tours and the bands he traveled with, Siemens doesn’t gush about them – “they all put their pants on the same way as us.” But he did share some good moments. His favorite memory took place in 1988, when the whole crew was invited by Bob Dylan for a lobster dinner cookout at a Vermont ski lodge on their day off. “It was 12 of us in there with Bob Dylan eating lobster. That was a good moment,” he said. He toured with Los Lobos during the band’s By the Light of the Moon Tour and lived on a tour bus with the band as they traveled from city to city. They were all family men, and every city they would go to they went to Mexican restaurants because they knew the best ones. “They knew the most authentic ones.

PET of the WEEK Eleven is one of our favorites. She is super sweet, and loves to chase you, and play with her toys. She loves her office time to socialize with us. She is a young girl, around 1 to 2 years of age. She gets along well with other dogs. Eleven was found as a stray, so we have no history on this young lady other than what we have learned here. If you are looking to add a fur baby to your family, Eleven would be a wonderful addition. Please contact us at (804) 598-5672 to schedule a meet and greet with this young lady, or just to visit and see what other wonderful pets we have available.

Summer camps offer thrill it’s hard to forget By Laura McFarland News Editor

nce again, I wish I could run away to camp. With school out for the summer and children of all ages spread out and doing their own things – away camps, traveling, visiting relatives, playing, etc. – covering them as a unit is difficult. Because of that, one of the highlights of each summer is to visit the non-sports summer camps being offered by Powhatan County Public Schools to keep children engaged and learning during the summer. Due solely to my own personal preferences, the top of the list for me was visiting the camp called Harry Potter: A Week at Hogwarts. Carol Mack, who leads the camp, does an excellent job of transforming a regular classroom into a magical new world without a single wave of a wand. She has the students create crafts and artwork, play games, test their knowledge of the series, and more. And she is completely understanding when I get a goofy grin on my face and take a few extra photos of the decorations. As much fun as I personally find that particular camp,

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

walking through, you can just see the smiles on their faces. They have enjoyed learning new things and having the opportunity to do some out-of-the-box thinking,” Ingle said. I understand that feeling. As I rushed around Flat Rock Elementary School taking photos each week, I couldn’t help but think it would be fun to stay and play a throwing game with the superhero summer camp, cook a mini-pizza with the kids in the kitchen, learn the secrets of stop motion videos with the young filmmakers, or pause and take a deep breath with the children practicing mindfulness. Even as they were laughing and having a good time at whatever activities they were doing, I saw how the camps also offered opportunities for nurturing social skills, modeling healthy living, enhancing self-confidence, fostering teamwork, staying physically active, challenging their problem-solving skills, and encouraging creativity. All in all, it looked like they were having a fun and productive summer – so much so that, as I said at the beginning, I wished I could run away to summer camp. Laura McFarland may be reached Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

I am always impressed by the other offerings as well. I see students enjoying activities that challenge and absorb them. It is wonderful that the school district has these during the summer to keep students learning and having fun in a school setting. Their ingenuity with these camps was taken a step further this summer when the division decided to offer a summer camp component during the last hour for all children participating in summer school programs. For the last few summers, the division has planned some type of enrichma attend a camp a week for three weeks of summer school. Teachers had the opportunity to choose topics they thought would be interesting to students but also would be something that showcases their talents. So between the two different kinds of summer camps, I saw sights such as children creating stop motion videos, cooking delicious snacks, studying a foreign language or culture, building tall towers with LEGOs, creating puppets, experimenting with STEM, dancing, playing different kinds of music, sewing and doing yarn crafts, trying sign language, and learning how to meditate and do yoga. “The kids have been really excited.

STUDENT NEWS Continued from pg. 6

Carly Kernstine of Powhatan earned an Associate of Science (AS) in general studies with a science specialization. Nineteen of the students earned associate degrees through Tyler’s Early College Academy, a pilot program operated in partnership that allows students to take college courses at their high school. Those who complete the program earn an Associate of Science (AS) in General Studies, a transfer de-

gree that includes the core courses that make up the first two years of many bachelor’s degree programs. Earning an associate degree while in high school takes commitment and time management skills. “Our job at Tyler is to create learning pathways for students so they can achieve their personal and professional goals,” says Dr. William Fiege, vice president of learning and student success. “Offering college-level learning opportunities for high school stu-

dents allows them to get ahead. Those earning the associate degree are halfway home to a bachelor’s degree and have already saved tens of thousands of dollars in tuition and fees. Those completing a trade program have garnered the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to get an entry-level job making a good wage directly out of high school. We are pleased to partner with our local school divisions on these efforts and plan to do even more in the future.”

They are less likely to be canceled – like a music tour that was canceled after one of the musicians fell off a moped and broke an arm. Both also have set seasons, which means he knew when he would be home and could plan accordingly.

Powhatan in 1999, which was around the time he switched to motorsports. When he was not out on tours, Jim Siemens spent quality time with his family. His wife and daughters didn’t usually go on tours, although when they were teenagers the girls worked some with their dad for summer jobs. Siemens described his wife as a strong woman who was responsible for the family’s day-to-day life entirely while he was gone. “You just have to go with the flow,” she said simply. “You have to be flexible and be able to manage on your own.” Siemens worked with Monster Trucks and Supercross shows until 2018, when he semi-retired and occasionally

picks up other work hauling merchandise for an auction house. With the Stones’ tour, Siemens is enjoying getting back to his roots in the industry – rock ‘n’ roll. The merchandising has changed some – more streamlined merchandise selections and computer systems that make handling the sales far different than in the 1980s and ’90s. But the live music event experience itself is still the same. “Nothing has changed there other than on this tour I have noticed it is a lot of young and old – people of all ages. The Rolling Stones do draw a diverse crowd,” he said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

Reflecting on end of ‘19 season By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor CHESTERFIELD – For the Post 201 Seniors, Friday’s 10-4 American Legion Baseball district tournament loss to hosting Post 137 was a tough note on which to end the season. But head coach Eric Mead was very proud of his players – and he felt they accomplished some things that they weren’t sure they would be able to achieve, given that they were a young team in comparison to the competition surrounding them. “I think that, at the end of the season, we played really good baseball and we started really coming together as a team,” Mead said. “Tonight (Friday) was just an off-night; we needed another one in a row like we had against 361, and we just came out flat tonight, but...the biggest message that we just talked about was the fact that we’re a very young team and…the younger players need to evaluate themselves and play 110 percent and play up to the competition level that they’re playing, and for the most part I’m very proud of all of them because I think that the younger players a lot of times did.”

Juniors battle to the district final

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

When the American Legion Post 201 Juniors reached the program’s first-ever district championship game, head coach Ott Mullins was a little bit worried that they were going to go out to Spotsylvania and just be satisfied with being runnersup. That wasn’t the case. “Our guys really came out there and came out ready to play,” Mul-

lins said. Right off the bat, the Braves showcased their calling card throughout this past week’s district tournament by jumping out to a 4-0 lead over hosting Post 320. Their hot hitters – Brandon Lyman, Andrew Cheatham and Kendrick Sheffield – stayed hot, and after Post 320 chipped back to tie the contest after four frames, the Braves in the top of the fifth led briefly behind plays at the plate from Cheatham and Andrew Shifflett. But Post 320 unleashed four

runs in the bottom of the frame and tacked on two more in the sixth to ensure a 10-6 championship victory and a trip to the state final. With the loss, the Post 201 Juniors concluded their season as district tournament runners-up. But to the coaches, their season was a success. “I think we had a really good season,” said Mullins, who for the past three years has been coaching the Juniors team with his son Nathan

We’re just happy that we could get out there with the team and compete.” In the district final, Lyman, Shifflett, Cheatham and Sheffield all batted 2-for-3. Lyman hit a double and scored twice; Cheatham and Sheffield each hit two doubles apiece with Sheffield plating three runs and Cheatham knocking in two while also scoring a run. Shifflett added an RBI and a run. Ben Allanson had a hit and scored three runs. This year’s Juniors team has only one player who’s aging out. Mullins has stressed to the rest of the players to keep working on their craft – he’ll see a lot of them in the fall as the head coach for the JV fall league – and then when it comes time to go at it again next summer, he’s hoping they can generate more interest in the American Legion Junior

pursuit of the event’s fastest time, Hevener could be seen on the other end of the pool, cheering on her swimmer as he or she reached the 25-yard mark. That encouragement – that focus on building up a swimmer’s confidence – has been a core tenet of Hevener’s coaching philosophy. “We’re really trying to make sure every kid feels important, whether they’re first or last,” Hevener said, “because we realize the kids who are last now might be first in a couple years. So we just keep telling them: no matter where they are, we’re happy to have them, and keep encouraging them to come back.” They’ve not only been coming back. Since Hevener became the Powhatan YMCA Barracudas’ head coach in November 2016, her team has swelled from a 22-swimmer group with talent to an 87-strong program. No matter the age or level of experience, that’s a notch in any coach’s belt. Hevener can claim that achievement at just 21 years of age. “It’s been really special for me,” she said of holding that kind of leadership position at this young point of her life. “I’ve loved working with Powhatan – the families are definitely some of the best I have met. I love the kids, they listen really well and the parents are just always supportive…” After she took the helm of Powhatan YMCA’s team, her 22 swimmers brought their friends out to swim, parents reached out to other parents, Powhatan YMCA Aquatics director Matt Chocklett reached out to new families going to the Y and as the Barracudas grew, so did the coaching staff. After Hevener started out as the only coach, Isabella Cerullo and Thomas Sanchez have also been able to work with her as coaches this summer. They both have swimming backgrounds themselves, they’re “really good at working with kids” and they’re “both super awesome” according to Hevener. After Powhatan partnered with Midlothian the past two summers, the Barracudas this year were able to break out on their own and compete in the RMAL C Division. “Midlothian, it was great being combined with them,” Hevener said. “But we really enjoyed being our own team and having our own identity.” The Barracudas on Monday were able to feature 40 swimmers in the Summer Champs events, with 16 competing in the 10 & under session and 24 swimming in the 11 & older session. “To be able to bring 40 kids to champs is super special,” Hevener said while also emphasizing: “We’re happy to have any kid here even if they don’t place; we just want them to be able to be part of the team and have this experience.” The coaches also incorporate a little bit of fun into the program, from holding biggest splash competitions to doing team-bond activities outside of the pool like making posters for the Summer Champs meet. The future is bright for Hevener, and it’s one that she’s looking to secure. Although she wants to be a fulltime swim team coach, her backup plan is to teach high school chemistry and coach high school swimming. She’s therefore attending VCU and working towards dual degrees in Chemistry and Exercise Science while gearing up for a fall internship to complete her Exercise Science degree. But with the time needed to focus on her studies, Hevener, with the completion of the summer championship season, is leaving her head coaching position and bidding farewell to her beloved Barracudas, at least for now. “It’s really hard because the kids and the families here are the best,” Hevener said. “I’m definitely going to miss them – hopefully maybe someday I’ll get to come back and coach them, and I really just try to encourage them that, it’s not goodbye forever – it’s just goodbye for now.” The Powhatan kids are “super inspiring” to Hevener, and they’re among the best kids she knows. They definitely have a lot of team spirit, as evidenced by the Most Spirited Award that the 10 & under swimmers won at the Summer Champs Meet. “I just love how they never give up,” she said, noting how they’ve seen some of their kids go from not being able to swim to being among the best swimmers on the team. “I just love their dedication and hard work,” she said. And the parents, she added, are amazing – she’s seen parent volunteers come to meets this summer even when it was around 100 degrees outside and their children were injured and unable to compete. “It just speaks so much about the kind of people Powhatan has.”

Powhatan Lacrosse gives back with camp By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – The boys’ and girls’ varsity teams of Powhatan Lacrosse have paralleled one another in each of their trajectories. They’ve both risen from humble beginnings in 2016 to each earn nine wins for their best seasons to date in 2019. A couple months later, both programs shared the same practice field, this time working with youth going into grades 2 through 8 on their playing skills, and coming together for festive games and activities during the Powhatan Lacrosse teams’ summer camp. “It just grows the lacrosse family for both boys and girls,” said Powhatan Girls Lacrosse head coach Laura Camp. “It just really helps foster the cohesion between our teams, and that helps during the season as well.” In the second year of camps for both teams, Powhatan Boys Lacrosse head coach Joe Niles pointed out that the boys’ program “gladly” had a few more campers this year. “That’s nice to see,” he said. “It’s nice being able to give back to the community and do something fun like this, especially for the kids in Powhatan. It’s a lot of fun.” For the girls’ team, who last year had several campers who were new to lacrosse, this year’s camp featured quite a few girls who had played already, which allowed the coaches to add more layers to the drills and expand on fundamentals. The girls also had a couple of goalies at their camp this year, so they’ve been able to work on playing situations with a goalie, whereas previously they were playing with a net. “The girls can work on their shooting and placement and we can do more scrimmaging and things like that,” Camp said. “The more playtime the kids get as far as real game-like situations, the more experience they’ll get.” On the boys’ side, Niles and his Powhatan varsity lacrosse players, both past and present, instructed the campers mainly on fundamentals – throwing, catching and picking up groundballs. “The kids have been super great – just super attentive, great kids, great Powhatan kids – true passion for the game and having a lot of fun,” Niles said. “It’s always nice from the coaches’ standpoint because it keeps you young...”

Powhatan Boys Lacrosse head coach Joe Niles (second from left in background) watches a drill in action during the final day of the Powhatan High School Lacrosse camp.

Niles’ varsity players have helped lead demonstrations so that the kids could see the right ways to do each drill – and admittedly a lot of the drills were sort of varsity-level drills, Niles noted – but the campers, from an observer’s standpoint, seemed to take to them well. On the girls side, 2019 Powhatan High School graduate and four-year varsity lacrosse player Anna Causey, who helped out with this year’s camp, had actually coached the fourth through seventh graders for one spring, and “coming back to see them at this camp, they’ve already improved so much” thanks to coaches Camp and Angie Van Buskirk. “Now, since they’re coming back, they’re excited because they know how to do a lot of fundamentals and they’re getting better every single day,” Causey said. The camp’s focus was not just on learning the game, but also on making new friendships, which have been a point of emphasis for both teams. “They see that they’re having a lot of fun at camp and that’s exactly what we do inseason,” Causey said. “We have a lot of fun and we play really hard.” For the older players who came out to help with the camp, Camp added: “I think the more you do offseason, it helps for the chemistry in-season and it kind of keeps a stick in their hands and keeps their mind thinking about lacrosse.” The older players are also learning themselves by embracing leadership roles in the

camp. “It’s one thing to know how to do something,” Niles said. “It’s an entirely different thing how to teach it and show another person how to do it. As a player, you’re always focused on: ‘Well I know how to do this drill, I know what I want to do,’ but ‘How do I actually convey that to somebody else?’ is completely different, and I think it makes them better players to be able to do that.” Along with Causey, Harlan Menger – who plays college lacrosse for Virginia Wesleyan and has loved it there as he’s getting to play with “40 other brothers” on his team – was among the Powhatan Lacrosse alum to come back and give back to their high school programs and Powhatan community. By growing up in a family of athletes and longtime coaches, and also through stepping in to help with camps at university, Menger noted that it’s natural for him to help the kids from more of a coaching standpoint. “I love helping them out, making them feel good because I love seeing them get better, seeing them improve every day,” Menger said. “Even the past four days, these kids, man – some of them have improved like crazy.” He loves bringing away all kinds of little lessons from his coaches, and the valuable lessons he’s learned – how to be a man, how to play lacrosse, how to be responsible, how to have honesty, how to have trust, how to be trustworthy – are good qualities to instill in the kids at

And by playing at that level of competition this year, they’re going be better baseball players because of it, Mead said. “The future is bright,” he added. “Anytime you’ve got a young team and you can go .500 for the season, then you’ve done a pretty daggone good job. I’m very proud of the boys.” Post 201 kicked off district tournament play with a big victory against Post 361 on Wednesday, July 24, rallying out of a 2-0 deficit to win 9-5 on nine unanswered runs across the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. After Alex Kyte put his team on the board in the fourth on a double to center field to plate Donovan Murphy, Tommy Preston in the fifth tied the game by dashing home on a passed ball, and then Stone Talley walked in Trevor Waters to push the Dirt Sox into a 3-2 lead. Kyte added yet another RBI single, and Waters in the sixth delivered a two-run line drive to plate both Preston and Colby Cheatham and help

the camp, Menger said. Camp spoke of her hope that the campers who came out and enjoyed their time with the lacrosse players and coaches will go and tell their friends about it. “Hopefully going forward, this will be one of those camps that they look forward to coming to,” she said. “When they are playing in high school, they can say, ‘Oh yeah! I went to that camp…I’ve been going since fourth grade.’ That’s our goal: is just to keep the same kids coming and hopefully they can tell their friends and the word can spread and we can just get all the kids in the Rec program coming to our camp in the summer. That would be really ideal.” As Powhatan Lacrosse collectively grows, the summer camp for both the boys and girls teams helps to continue fostering young interest in the

sport, thereby creating an avenue for young athletes now to join the school teams later. “I hope these kids will tell their friends about the game and that sort of thing, and how fun it is to play and how you play it,” Niles said. “I tell these guys all the time that it’s not always about the wins and losses – it’s about how you play the game, which is so hugely important. I think that’s what’s wonderful about lacrosse…it’s not about going out and winning…it’s always about how you play.” Causey cannot believe how quickly lacrosse in Powhatan has grown. “When I first started playing in sixth grade, there was nobody,” she said. “And now there’s fourth graders here that are amazing – that have a lot of potential. It’s really exciting to see the program growing so quickly.”

right to advance to the district championship game, Post 201 fell behind 5-0, but rallied to cut 137’s lead to 5-3 before the home team steadily pulled away. Colby Cheatham on Friday hit a solo home run. Waters batted 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a run scored. Gayness batted 2-for-4 with a double, two RBIs and a run scored. The young Seniors team this summer picked up notable victories against college baseball player-led teams – including the district title-winning Post 284 Bucs with a 14-4 triumph – and also had key wins against Posts 125 (Lakeside) and 175 (Mechanicsville). The young team was led by four dedicated players who are aging out of the program this summer. District Player of the Year Donovan Murphy was a home run threat every single time he stepped up to the plate. Trevor Waters, a one-year player in Legion, anchored the team at the catcher position and on Friday slammed two doubles to the fence while also throwing out a runner trying to steal second from behind the plate in the bottom of the first

inning. Tommy Preston made key plays in the field, at the plate and on the mound – from where he “threw his heart out” and over 90 pitches Friday according to Mead. Jacob Frame established himself as a mainstay in the pitching rotation. “It’s sad to see those guys go; every single year you go through it,” Mead said. “Especially when you’ve got guys who play for you for three or four years and then they age out, it’s sad.” But some of the players who had left in previous years have come back to contribute to the team in a different capacity. “One of the good things that we’ve got going on at 201: Parker Mead, he played 201; he came back and coached. Boonie Hagy was a 201 alumni; he’s come back and coached. Jake Talley’s come back for the last two years – he’s finishing up at Bridgewater his senior year this year,” Mead said. “That’s really good when you see those guys who play it and then want to come back and contribute to it even after they’ve aged out. We hope we continue that with these guys.”
