Board votes not to adopt 5-year CIP, Warner named mulls change to 10-year document as new fire and By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News
P
OWHATAN – Citing a need to better understand how a number of proposed projects will impact the county’s debt service ratio, Powhatan County supervisors decided on July 29 to delay adopting this year’s five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Of particular concern is the possibility that Powhatan High School may need to be expanded and land purchased for a new county elementary school, which District 1 Supervisor David Williams cautioned would have an enormous impact on the county’s ability to reach the preferred 12 percent debt service ratio. Williams said he had asked the county’s financial advisors for a more detailed look at how the county would handle the debt and what it would
NORDVIG WILLIAMS mean for residents. “We need to know if we have a realistic plan,” Williams said, noting that he is not comfortable with a proposal that would push the school projects further than five years into the future. “What you are saying here is ‘Nope, they are not going to need a new high school. Nope, they are not going to need land for a new elementary school. That’s not realistic folks. We need to be planning to make sure we know what’s out there and make
informed choices.” Williams said his preference would be to ask for a 10-year CIP so that the board could better assess what the long term impacts of the proposed projects would be. District 2 Supervisor Larry Nordvig, speaking in support of Williams’ request, likened the process to the same one he uses to make purchases in his personal life. “I have a van that has over 330,000 miles on in,” Nordvig said. “It’s an incredible van, but I know I’m going to have to replace that van at some point in the next five years, so I’m planning ahead for that.” Nordvig acknowledged recent information provided by the county school division that indicated student populations—while high enough to raise concerns about capacity—had flattened out, but insisted that this was

POWHATAN – A local couple who spent decades serving the community through their work with the Powhatan Volunteer Rescue Squad is now turning their attention to helping some of the county’s four-legged residents. Lynne and Allen Beach of Powhatan are two of the main champions behind the idea of building a public dog park in the Village area so people with dogs can bring them for some time to run and play with other
dogs. The idea was inspired by the couple’s love for their 2-year-old German Shepherd, Tanner, whom they often shuttle to the dog park in Rockwood Park in Midlothian so he can interact with other dogs, Lynne Beach said. “Tanner gets all the love and affection he needs from us on a daily basis, but he needs to have interaction with other dogs. They run and play, and by the end of about an hour, he is exhausted but it is a good exhausted. It's his fun, it keeps him young, healthy and

Those in the habit of smoking while visiting Powhatan parks and recreational facilities will soon need to find another place to light up. During the monthly meeting of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors on July 29, members gave the go-ahead to spend $2,300 out of the county’s operating budget for the purchase of 38 “No Smoking” signs to be placed throughout the county’s parks. According to Ramona Carter, Powhatan’s Director of Public Works, the move comes after staff researched the polices of a number of other localities, including neighboring Chesterfield County, to see how they handle the issue.

with park smoking areas altogether and instituted a voluntary no smoking policy, Powhatan staff decided this was the approach they wanted to take as well. District 2 supervisor Larry Nordvig said he thought the step was a necessary one, given the generally accepted fact that secondhand smoke can prove harmful to those exposed to it. A former youth sports coach, he added that he had witnessed children playing in and around the area of Fighting Creek Park formerly designated as a smoking section. “I like freedom, as long as it doesn’t harm others,” Nordvig said. “And in this case we should keep kids away from cigarette smoke.” Nordvig said he understood disobeying the signs will not carry any kind of criminal or civil penalty, but added “I think in Powhatan most people will be respectful and not light up.”

not a guarantee the numbers couldn’t spike in the near future with increased residential growth. Should that happen, Nordvig said, it could
prove disastrous. “Where does the money come from if you fail to plan?” Nordvig asked. “I’ll tell you where—it comes from [residents]. And we’re talking about a significant tax increase
over the next five years if we don’t plan properly.” Nordvig said he would vote for a plan that he considered realistic, but reiterated that the current CIP was “not ready for prime time.”
Matthew 5:3 - “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” All people need the Lord but not all realize it and admit it. Some do. The poverty Jesus speaks of is a deep sense of spiritual bankruptcy. This starting point opens the door to allowing God to reign and rule over us by His loving will.

Meet Benny. He is around 2 to 3 years old. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots. Benny is such a sweetheart who wants a comfy couch, and someone to shower him with love. Benny was adopted from our facility, but sadly it did not work out for him. If you would like to meet Benny Boy, please contact us at 804-598-5672 to schedule a meet and greet. You can find our other adoptable pets on Facebook.

equal-size large fenced in areas that could be alternated so neither side would be overused. There would also be a small fenced in area for small dogs under 30 pounds. The bulk of the cost for the dog park would pay for fencing ($20,000) and a gravel parking lot ($20,000), according to the couple’s presentation. The rest of the money would be used to for water bowls and buckets, a water hydrant, poop bags, a roll bag dispense, shade, trash cans, a water line, benches, signs, and a storage shed. Carter pointed out that
all of these numbers are up-front costs associated with building the dog park. The county would still have to account for the maintenance of the dog park since it would be on county property. The proposed site for the dog park is on a field owned by the county near the Powhatan Animal Shelter as a practice field, Carter said. If the plan to extend Mann Road and connect it to Old Plantation Road is ever executed, the dog park could become part of an extended Fighting Creek Park. Locating the dog park near the animal shelter
would hopefully have added benefits for the animals there, Beach said. The dogs being held at the animal shelter could be brought there for exercise and socialization. “I think it is going to be a win-win for everybody. Maybe more dogs will be adopted from animal control,” she added.
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 Powhatan Sheriff’s Office | Division Of Animal Control Phone: 804-598-5672 | Fax: 804-598-5109 980329-01
great idea. I brought that idea to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission and they liked the idea so well that we included it in our (fiscal year) 2020 Capital Improvement Program requests,” she said. However, the dog park, which Beach projected will cost about $45,000, was not recommended for funding in the CIP for FY 2020, Carter said. Rather than wait to see if the dog park could get funding next year or even several years down the road, the Beaches are starting a private effort to get the job done. They will hold their first fundraiser next week. A spaghetti dinner fundraiser will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. at Four Seasons Restaurant, 3867 Old Buckingham Road, Powhatan. The cost is $10 in advance and $12 at the door. For more information, call or text Lynne Beach at 804-240-4518. The design of the dog park would see two

ment in 1990 and became a life member there after 15 years. He was a career firefighter for the Henrico Division of Fire, where he retired in 2017 after 21 years. He worked for Powhatan County part-time for 16 years before taking on the role of acting chief in April, when the previous chief, Steve Singer, went out on medical leave. Warner also had served as acting chief for more than two and a half years before Singer was hired in 2014. Previous experience with the position combined with having good relationships with both paid staff and volunteers made Warner’s time as acting chief an easy transition and helped in his
decision to take on the full-time role, he said. “What really convinced me to do it – because clearly I was retired and enjoying my parttime work with the county – was the support I had received in the past three months from the career side and the volunteer side. When the county administrator made the offer, it was an easy choice after the support I received from the volunteers and career side,� Warner said. While the fire and rescue department grew and made many advances while Singer was chief, his last few months in the job were marked by vocal discontent among the county’s fire and rescue volunteers and a contentious proposal to almost double the size of the county’s paid fire and res-
cue personnel. When announcing he was appointing Warner to his new post, county administrator Ted Voorhees did not discuss the details of Singer’s departure from his position but expressed his appreciation for Singer’s contributions to Powhatan County over the past four years. “Chief Singer addressed numerous policy and procedural issues, recruited the county’s first full-time career firefighters, improved and modernized equipment and apparatus, secured grants and assisted in replacement of the computer-aided dispatch system. We wish him well in his future endeavors,� said Voorhees. While he has been acting chief, Warner said fire administration had already begun to address some of

the issues raised by volunteers and the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors in recent months. On May 6, the supervisors and the county’s first responders sat down for a workshop where they took a larger look at the problems within fire and rescue and how those may be addressed in a way that gives volunteers back the No. 1 thing they said was missing – a voice in their own department. Since that workshop, two new committees have been formed – one to look at how the department tracks data and the other to evaluate current policies, Warner said. Serious doubts were raised about the fire and rescue data presented by Singer in March to justify asking for $1.18 million in new paid personnel in a plan to bring more comprehensive coverage to the county. Many decisions regarding fire and rescue are based on data, so everyone involved – whether paid or volunteer – should have input on what data is collected to show the health and growth of the department, Warner
said. “We are all going to agree on the parameters of that data and we are going to develop it, and review it monthly with all parties involved, so we know month to month the health of our department,� he said. The volunteers also said they didn’t feel like they had enough input in some of the department’s policies, Warner said. A new policy committee headed by a volunteer has been tasked with reviewing the most disputed policies. The committee of volunteers and career staff will present their findings to fire administration, which will “make adjustments as necessary based on their recommendations.� Warner said he believes that in his almost three decades serving in the county in volunteer and paid positions he has fostered good, open communications with local first responders that will help him moving forward. He hopes to hold a town hall-style meeting with all of the local first responders – paid, volunteer and contract – to introduce himself and answer questions.
He plans to follow that up by visiting two volunteer companies each month, meaning that he will have the opportunity to interact with personnel at all five fire houses and the rescue squad at least once each quarter “to keep those lines of communication open.� Warner said he is just as passionate about fire and rescue as he was when he moved to Powhatan in 1990 and started volunteering. At the time he had graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor of Science in business administration and management but was working in construction because it paid the bills. He said he was talked into volunteering at Company 4 and got hooked on it. “I got bit by the fire department bug and the whole fire department culture hooked me and still has me. I just loved the camaraderie and the so-called brotherhood/sisterhood that comes along with it,� he said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

anymore because her children are grown, but when they were young, she was always there. But when she learned Nutzy and Nutasha would be there, she knew she had to be there with her son Daniel, who has special needs, because he is an avid fan of the mascots. He listened to the story being read and bolted up when he saw the mascots sneaking in to surprise the guests, she said. After that, he was thrilled to meet them and take photos with them. He was so excited he couldn’t even eat his pizza. LeMaster said she told the library staff how much she appreciated them offering a summer reading program and how kind
they were to her son at the finale. “I am always so thankful and blessed by the kindness everybody shows Daniel. There were other special needs kids there, too. You don’t have to be kind to anybody – that is just something you do. So, I am so thankful for it,� she said. Although the programs for the summer reading program are finished, the library will still be recording summer reading hours through Aug. 31.

As with other programs throughout the summer, each of the children who attended the finale received a new book and a chance to enter the summer reading prizes. Before Nutzy and Nutasha snuck in to surprise the children, they listened to Ingle read “Scaredy Squirrel Goes Camping� by Melanie Watt.

Local orchid grower shares dinner with Priscilla By Art Chadwick
Special to Powhatan Today
S PHOTO COURTESY OF PRISCILLA PRESLEY
Priscilla Presley has been a fan of purple cattleyas ever since Elvis gave her 16 blooms for her 16th birthday. In 2009, she posed at her home in Beverly Hills with the hybrid that Chadwick and Son Orchids in Powhatan named after her.
ix degrees of separation refers to the notion that all people are six, or fewer, social connections away from each other. Imagine if only two degrees separated you from someone very famous, in other words, an A-List celebrity is “a friend of a friend.” We experienced this situation in 2009 when a walk-in client informed us that she worked extensively with Priscilla Presley. Lively discussing ensued about the possibility of having an orchid named after Ms. Presley, which we followed up with a letter. Little did we know that El-
vis had given his love 16 purple Cattleyas for her 16th birthday. To put it mildly, Ms. Presley was keen on having a namesake orchid, particularly if it was a purple
Cattleya. Fast forward 10 years and the hybrid, see ORCHID, pg. 8

Cumberland County Water testing clinic offered Contributed Report A Buckingham/Cumberland Water Testing Clinic will be held this fall. The goal of the Virginia Household Water Quality Program is to improve the water quality and health of Virginians with private water supplies, such as wells, springs and cisterns. Drinking water clinics are being held in counties across the state to give people with private water systems access to affordable water testing, help interpreting their water test results, and information about possible treatment options. The samples are collected and iced in coolers and taken to the Biological Systems Engineering Water Quality Lab in Blacksburg for analysis. The analysis and creating the water test reports takes about four weeks. Once the analysis is complete, an Interpretation Meeting is held to distribute the results to each participant. At this meeting, water test results are explained, and information provided about possible treatment options participants may consider.
The water will be tested for iron, manganese, sulfate, hardness, sodium, copper, nitrate, arsenic, fluoride, pH, total dissolved solids, coliform bacteria, e. coli bacteria and lead. The schedule for the testing will be: Sept. 3, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., sample kit pick-up; Sept. 4 7 to 9 a.m., sample drop office at office, and Oct. 8 5:30 to 7 p.m., interpretation meeting at the office. All events will be at the Buckingham Extension Office. The registration deadline is Aug. 12. The cost is $60, which covers the cost of one sampling kit. The analysis provided would normally cost more than $300 at a commercial water testing laboratory. The first 25 kits will be discounted. Call the Buckingham Extension Office at 434-969-4261 to obtain the discount code needed when you complete your purchase. All participant information is kept strictly confidential. You can register and pay by credit card online at https://tinyurl.com/ BuckinghamVCEwelltesting2019.

Participants had the opportunity to attend their choice of more than 25 miniworkshops on topics such as curriculum and instruction, workforce readiness, finance, partnerships, school/community
relations, personnel, school law, and special programs. The presenters included educators from state and local levels and business representatives.

Text-to-911 is a valuable new asset for Powhatan By Laura McFarland News Editor
S
ome of the best advances in public safety are ones we hope we never need but feel better knowing are in place. That was my reaction when Tom Nolan, director of public safety communications, recently told me that Powhatan County was adding a text-to-911 capability. Any advances in public safety are like that really; we are glad to have measures in place but we hope we never have to use them. In the same way, when I learned a few years ago that the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office does annual active shooter training, I appreciated them having that training even as I shuddered at the thought of them ever needing it. The text-to-911 option went live on Aug. 1, although the capability had been tested and verified in the weeks leading up to that date. It is available with plans from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless. “With the implementation of text-to-911, Powhatan County has taken a significant step toward next generation 911 communication technology. We need to continue to use available and proven technology to communicate with our citizens in need,” Nolan said after the feature went live. When talking to me about it, Nolan outlined a number of scenarios where texting might be the best or only viable option for someone experiencing an emergency: deaf, hard of hearing callers, or individuals with a speech disability; a caller who is unable to speak due to a medical or other condition, or emergency situations

As of 9 a.m. on Aug. 1, the text-to-911 option is available in Powhatan County. Powhatan’s Public Safety Communications Department did a demonstration the day the option officially became available. Shown are Tom Nolan, left, director of public safety communications; Phil Warner, fire and rescue chief; communication officer Anthony “Tony” Knapke, and Capt. Jeff Searfoss with the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office.
that would put the caller in danger if making a voice call, such as abduction, domestic violence or active shooter situation. Again, the emergency scenarios are not ones we want to actively consider as possibilities in our daily lives. But emergency preparedness is about planning for the worst because sometimes the worst does happen. Getting this capability was inevitable since all public safety communications centers have to deploy textto-911 capability by July 1, 2020. But isn’t it good to know we are ahead of schedule? Powhatan’s neighbors to the east – Chesterfield, Henrico, Dinwiddie and Richmond City – are already text-to-911 capable, but
By the time we got to Woodstock By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
It’s difficult to believe it’s been 50 years since nearly a half million people gathered for three days of peace, love and music in a small village in upstate New York. What we now call Woodstock was first billed as An Aquarian Exposition: Three days of Peace and Music, and was truly the concert that almost didn’t happen. The event was organized by four promoters who faced enormous challenges planning on a concert they thought would make millions. When it was over, they were close to bankruptcy. At first glance, it all seemed possible and more than 160,000 tickets were sold in advance at $18 a pop. Officials expected no more than 200,000 to show up for the event. Town officials were promised that no more than 50,000 people would attend. Organizers finally rented land from a local dairy farmer, Max Yasgur, for $10,000, and what at first appeared to be a second rate lineup of bands began to expand. Organizers credit the booking of Creedence Clearwater Revival as the turning point in the planning process. Once the popular rockers were booked, other bands signed on and the event that changed rock ’n’ roll history was becoming a reality. Kids began showing up on Wednesday before the concert, and any thoughts of a wellplanned event exited with the influx. Organizers made strategic decisions those final days that would shape the scope of what had become a happening. Trying to juggle dwindling funds for planning, they opted to build the stage versus erecting a fence around the event. Those with and without tickets poured onto the farm, and organizers quickly declared it was a free concert . . . And the rest is history. The last performer to take the stage was Jimi Hendrix. With the mixture of rain delays and bad organization, it was 8:30 a.m. on Monday when the Voodoo Child belted out his iconic version of the Star Spangled Banner. And those who tell you of the untold number
of rapes and deaths that occurred during the festival just don’t have the facts. There were two deaths recorded, two births and a number of minor injuries. And, that’s what we as a generation took away from a festival that grew in popularity once the movie “Woodstock” so beautifully captured the spirit of the festival. Many of us felt like the event confirmed that social harmony was possible and people could gather in an idealistic effort to promote peace and unity. That brings us to an event scheduled this year to promote the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. It seems this event also is enduring its share of pre-planning nightmares with several locations in New York opting out of the process, and rapper Jay-Z recently announcing he won’t be performing at the event. Organizers say they have now acquired a site in Maryland for the event, but, with less than two months remaining, it seems more likely that Woodstock II is more of a dream than a reality. And, that’s OK with me. Let’s face it, most remakes are grossly inferior to the original, and capturing that spirit, confusion and unpredictability that made Woodstock a momentous occasion is impossible. Maybe we should just remember this piece of Americana just the way it was: complete with mud, overflowing toilets and other inconveniences. In 1971, I visited the small town near Yasgur’s farm on a trip to Canada. It was quiet and peaceful, and reminded me of a Saturday Evening Post cover, almost storybook in its idyllic setting. I stopped for gas at a small service station and noticed a man across the street mowing his lawn. As I exited, I stopped my car and waved at the man as he finished up his lawn. “Were you here for Woodstock?” I asked him. “I sure was,” he yelled back. “A kid went to the bathroom (my words, his were more specific) right in my front yard.” I pulled away slowly. I suppose the memories are not as pleasant for some of those who endured the three days of peace and love – and nowhere to go to the bathroom.

Goochland, Cumberland and Amelia counties have not yet deployed the service. We know that the best and quickest way to get emergency help is still to call 911 directly. So many lives have been saved because of the men and women who were the calm voices on the other end of those frantic telephone calls who dispatched the help needed and it arrived in time. Calling 911 is, without a doubt, still the No. 1 recommended way for someone experiencing an emergency to reach out for help. But it’s also good to know we have one more “tool in the toolbox” just in case we need it. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.
Lignum Vitae North America expands with new facility

Bob Shortridge Sr., owner and president of Lignum Vitae North America in Powhatan County, cuts the ribbon on a new 13,000-square-foot facility.
Contributed Report Powhatan County Economic Development recently announced the expansion of Lignum Vitae North America in Powhatan County. Lignum Vitae is a producer of water lubricated bearings for industries including marine, hydro power, wind energy and water treatment. The bearings are made of lignum vitae hardwood often referred to as the “Tree of Life,” which is a unique species of wood derived from Central America. The wood is known to be the hardest and heaviest wood in the world with natural oils for self-lubrication and resistance to water and salt, which make it the perfect match for large ships with long shelf lives. Bob Shortridge Sr., owner and president of Lignum Vitae, has been creating these bearings since 2008, when it started as a hobby but then quickly
turned into a serious business venture with great demand. The bearings are used in many large ships around the world and replacements are hard to find, which made Shortridge’s hobby turn full time. The bearings are not only used in ships but also hydro power plants, wind turbines, and water treatment plants. The company is one of the few allowed to sustainably purchase the wood and also one of the very few producing bearings in the world. The business is now in growth mode and expanding their facilities to include a new research and production facility, which will house the engineering, design, sales and marketing under one roof. The company has also hired two additional employees for sales that will cover the U.S. and Canada. For more information, visit https://lignumvitaesolutions.com/.

Art project offers reminders to be good stewards of waterways Contributed Report Have you noticed the painted drop inlets at any Powhatan school? Each is a representation of an animal that lives in or around the James River. And each is reminding us, “This is where your river begins. Only rain down the drain.� Elliot Gibbs, Powhatan High School science teacher, reached out to the Department of Environmental Quality for grant funding to stencil the drop inlets, aka storm drains, with an environmental message. Skipping a few steps in the story, a representative from the Middle James Roundtable (MJRT) heard about his request. Timing was right for his request to be written into one of that group’s grants and funding became available. This is the first grant with which Gibbs has been involved. “STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education is on the forefront of what we do. Part of that is working to be a good steward to the James River Watershed which feeds to the Chesapeake Bay,� he commented. Little did Gibbs know at that time, but an environmental education stencil program (Paint Out Pollu-

tion) had already been developed by the James River Association and Art On Wheels of Richmond. Six artists created 38 stencils of animals that call the James River home. The stencils are applied in layers with special, colorful, long lasting spray paint. The student volunteers picked up quickly on the process. On the first day, Gibbs’s class was able to install 30 stencils between Powhatan High and Flat Rock Elementary schools. Day 2 required transportation of a class to Powhatan Middle, Powhatan Elementary, and Pocahontas Elementary schools to paint 16 more storm drains. Examples of the stencils include a sturgeon, painted turtle, American eel, osprey, beaver, foxes, dragonflies, Monarch butterfly, mink, brown water snake and catfish. See if you can find them all! This summer, the PHS students involved in the project hope the bright stencils remind us to respect waterways and habitats by keeping pollution out!

IDLOTHIAN – In all his years playing baseball, Donovan Murphy recalls never having been a cleanup hitter before this summer. But as the St. Christopher’s alum entered the 2019 American Legion Baseball season having switched to Powhatan-based Post 201 after the Legion team he was previously with – Post 186 – disbanded, his new head coach Eric Mead talked to him about setting the example and being one of the leaders for those young players. “Coming into it, I was just trying to be a leader on the team” – Murphy said – “show them how to play the right way.” And by gaining 20 pounds in between starting school at Virginia Tech and beginning the new Legion season, Murphy with the added weight had a lot more hitting power to complement his mindset that, playing for a younger team, he would have to do his best to put his team in situations to win ballgames. “Getting in those 1-2-3 hitters in was going to be important,” Murphy said of batting fourth in the lineup. “My goal was to get as many RBIs see MURPHY, pg. 2B

OWHATAN – On a bright and sunny Friday morning – a welcome reprieve from the previous week’s encroachingly hot weather – Powhatan High School Football’s voluntary practice culminated in game-time situations that challenged the offense to quickly run through simulated pressure scenarios like skipping the huddle to go into the next play, spiking the ball and taking a fourth-down snap. That was a new addition to this summer’s practices. It was hard to tell. The players systematically worked their way through each play, hardly missing a step until the simulated pressure drive ended with a well-placed throw and a reaching catch on the right edge for the touchdown. “That’s how well they picked that up,” head coach Mike Henderson said. As summer practices continue on, the Indians are gearing up for Year 1 under veteran coach Henderson, who led Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Football to five VISAA state championships and most recent-

POWHATAN - A lifetime horse rider, Tommy Garland grew up learning about horsemanship and horse training under the tutelage of his father, whom he said could train about any animal, and he taught him the importance of patience and care. “You have to think your way through situations and read each horse…and they kind of tell you their personality, what it takes to get things done, what you should do,” Garland has learned. “Some horses can handle a little more pressure to make them do things, and other horses, you’ve got to be very careful and take it real slow. You just have to be able to adjust
what you do with them.” Garland became a fulltime trainer in 1985 for Deep Meadow Farm in Waynesboro; while there, he worked with Arabians, which would become the center of his horse showing career for the following 20-plus years. He’s trained multiple national champions at U.S. Nationals in Hunter and Western. He’s shown horses and won national championships in both Brazil and Canada. He’s met neat people through the years including Shania Twain. He’s worked with high-profile sponsors through the years ranging from Morton Buildings to Pfizer. He’s earned national success with different farms around the country in places like North Car-

ly led Douglas Freeman Football to six winning seasons in the last seven years. “Anytime you take over a new program, there’s still a new set of adjustments the players have to make, and the coaches to a degree as well,” Henderson said. “We’re trying to implement our schemes, understanding that what we’re running is considerably different probably than what they ran here before, at least on offense.” There’s still a period of adjustment going on with the way that Henderson wants to run certain things, and also with the tempo that he expects. But the student-athletes, he said, have been working really hard. “There are a lot of guys that have been showing up for our
workouts and for our voluntary summer practices and been tremendous,” he said. “We’re showing up in the 40s, 50s even in the 60s sometimes just for daily workouts. We’re really pleased with that. We’re excited about the way the guys are buying-in.” The focused approach that the players showcased in those end-of-practice, game-time scenarios was also consistently on display throughout the morning session. “We tell our guys there’s times to have fun and football is a lot of work, but the amount of time that you put into football has to be fun, too, so we just tell our guys: try to separate – the fun is: hanging out in the locker room; the fun is: these are your buddies for life; the fun is: going to cookouts or in between practices,” Henderson said. “But when we’re on the field, we’re working, and I think the guys are learning…

as I could, trying to put those guys in – not necessarily hitting home runs, but with the power I had, the ball would just go.” Twenty-six runners came home off of Murphy’s bat in less than 15 games this season. Six of the pitches that he swatted exited the ballpark as home runs. In order to push himself, the Midlothian son set goals that would be very hard for him to reach, from aiming for doubledigit home runs and 35 RBIs to trying to bat .700. Still, his incendiary .575 regular-season batting average was not just an achievement in itself... ...it also helped him achieve Player of the Year honors in American Legion’s District 11. “It was a great honor – I haven’t gotten a Player of the Year/MVP-type award since playing on the little field,” he said. “But it felt good to be recognized for all the hard work I’ve put in both on the field and in the weight room, and just to be recognized playing with guys...I’ve played baseball with since I was little; it was a great honor for that reason.” The six-foot-three rising sophomore at Virginia Tech – who this year aged out of the American Legion program – was a fixture on the baseball field this summer, drawing praise from Post 201 head coach Eric Mead for his dedication to coming to games and practices. “Donovan Murphy is just one heck of a baseball player,” Mead said after Post 201’s final game of the 2019 season. “It’s sad to lose him – I wish I had a pile of him…just a phenomenal baseball player.” In high school - after overcoming various setbacks ranging from spraining his ACL one year and tearing his MCL
his sophomore season to breaking a thumb and needing stitches after getting hit in the face with a ball, Murphy enjoyed his healthiest and best high school baseball season during his senior year with St. Christopher’s Baseball. He not only helped his Saints win the 2018 VISAA State Championship, but he also achieved a goal he had been pushing himself to attain since sophomore year: Make First Team AllState. At the plate, he went from always hitting opposite field to trying to get base hits and get on base any way he could to moving his teammates over and getting them home. “Senior year, it became more mental, like: Okay, what can I do to get this runner in?” Murphy said. “It wasn’t as much as: What can I do? It’s: What can I do to help the team? “And then if I hit a ball out, great.” All-around, hitting – which has always been the part of the game that Murphy has loved the most – got a lot better for him this summer. His power was better. When pitchers were throwing to him outside, he was seeing it a lot earlier in the season. He could take balls the other way a lot better than he used to. Murphy knew he could take anything on the middle inner-half of the plate to the gaps or to the right field fence. “The game just slowed down a lot more,” he said, “so I know mentally what I need to do when I go up to the plate.” Getting back into the game, Murphy worked on tweaking his swing here and there. He started the summer strong with Post 201 before he struggled for a couple games midway through the season, but then he corrected his stance from starting way too low on his back foot to standing more vertical with less weight on the back leg to start. He also talked to one of
we’re real approachable coaches, but we expect effort and discipline when we’re on the field, and I think the guys are doing a pretty good job of knowing when to work and when to relax.” While Henderson knows that Powhatan’s players in the past were under center a lot and centered on running the football, he expects that they’ll be spreading the formations out a little bit more this year – for instance, they’ll likely be in shotgun considerably more than the Indians were previously. He goes by the coaching philosophy of taking advantage of the personnel that the team has. “If we have a bunch of 285-pound linemen and a big, strong tailback, we’re gonna get in the [I-formation] and pound the football,” Henderson said. “If we’ve got some great skilled kids and quarterbacks who can wing it down the field, we’re gonna go threeand-four-wide and throw it around a little bit. Whatever we’re good at is what we’ll do more of.” Given the players they have in their skills spots right now, Henderson and his staff are looking to get as many of those skills guys onto the field at one time as they can. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on any one group because obviously football’s the ultimate team game, but we do like the playmakers we have on the outside; we have some speed out there, we have some length, we’ve got some guys that have great hand-eye coordination and body control,” Henderson said. “I feel like putting the ball in the air and giving those guys a chance to make some plays probably is our strength right now, but at the same point, we
have four senior running backs that are battling it out that are pretty darn good football players, too. “We’re not gonna be throwing the ball 75 percent of the time,” he said. “But my goal is gonna be to spread it out a little bit so when we do run the ball, hopefully we’ll have some better running lanes rather than kind of cram everybody in.” Henderson said they feel their offensive line is going to be a strong point, but right now, it’s probable that they’ll start at least two juniors and at least two sophomores up front. So although Henderson sees a lot of potential in his offensive line, he’s not yet sure how fast those young players are going to come along in those starting positions. As the Indians transition to a new coaching era, they’re also turning a new page at the starting quarterback position. With Jacob Moss having graduated, there’s no returning starter, and as of Friday, Aug. 2, the competition for the role was still ongoing between senior Lance Fleming, junior Aaron Nash and sophomore Hans Rehme. Henderson said they all do different things well. “Lance is a senior and he’s pretty solid in all facets; Aaron is a tremendous athlete – he’s also one of our best receivers,” Henderson said. “Hans has a super strong arm, but he’s a sophomore...[they all] bring something to our team that’s unique, and trying to figure out which one is the starter will kind of be our main crux of summer practice.” Henderson’s right and left hands on offense are run-game coordinator Paul Williams and pass-game coordinator Austin Wingfield; Blake Derby, who has been with Henderson
across his previous stops in the past 11 years as his defensive coordinator - and has also played for Henderson - is helming Powhatan’s defense. “He does a fantastic job; he’s got a great rapport with the kids,” Henderson said, “and we try to go with the same general philosophy – we try to identify our best 11 defensive players and: What can we run to get those guys on the field?” They’ll look to identify which base formation best works for their defense in the summer. Powhatan has some returners from last year that they’ll be counting on to be key players, but Henderson spoke to looking to know more about his defensive unit once they returned to pads. As of their late July summer practices, the Indians were focused on sharpening up some of their assignments and attention to details. “I think everyone has a general idea of where we’re going on this running play or this pass play, but the techniques aren’t always great right now, but we’re learning the plays,” Henderson said July 26. “There’s plenty of time to polish up the technique.”
Barbecue for Powhatan Football alumni Henderson and his coaching staff are looking forward to next Saturday’s Powhatan High School Football Alumni barbecue, through which past Powhatan High School Football players and coaches have been invited to come out and meet Henderson and his coaching staff. The barbecue, free and open only to Powhatan Football alumni, will be held Sunday, Aug. 11 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Bienvenue (3841 Old Buckingham Rd., Powhatan).
NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY
Post 201 Baseball’s Donovan Murphy (right) receives congratulations from Colby Cheatham after Murphy hit a home run in a Post 201 season game.
Post 201’s coaches, Parker Mead, about fixing his swing, and that’s when it clicked for him: There was no need to worry – he just needed to go up there, relax, do what he could and not stress too much about it. “After that, everything clicked back to where it was,” he said, “and it was back to playing well and having even more fun.” After joining Post 201’s team, Murphy got the closest he’s ever gotten to the American Legion district championship game – another goal of his – when he and the Dirt Sox this year defeated Post 361 on July 24 in tournament play, but fell one game shy of going to the championship game in a July 26 loss to eventual runners-up Post 137. He’s currently attending Virginia Tech, where right now he’s considering double-majoring in Business Information Technology and Finance. He attempted to walk-on to the baseball team his freshman
season, and while he ultimately didn’t make it onto the team, he said the coach said it might be a different story if it were another year. For the state champion, it’s tough at times not being able to play in college – he’s definitely missed the competition. He’s missed competing for something. That’s one of the reasons he wanted to play Legion this summer. His focus was on having fun – he had no other commitments and he loves the game of baseball, so he just went out there to play. His thought was: “Why not go out to practice on a summer day, get better at baseball?” “The games are a lot more fun when you’re winning and playing well than when you’re losing and not playing good,” he added. While he’s had people say to him that he should try and walk-on again, Murphy has given it some thought, but not a ton. He’s not really sure yet
what he’ll do in that regard – he might decide to play club ball at Tech just to go out there, play baseball and have a good time. “At this point it’s pretty much just a sport I just want to play for leisure and have fun with,” he said. “But there’s some times that things could change.” With his final American Legion season in the books, Murphy moves forward with questions as to what he’ll do with baseball in the future, but also having answered Coach Mead’s call to become a leader to his Post 201 teammates in a big way. He stood out amongst a talented selection of high school and college student-athletes in the district, and he did so while getting to experience sort of that last hoorah playing borh against and alongside players he’s played with for a long time. “As far as Player of the Year, it was just a great honor,” he said, “and a great way to go out for Legion.”

ADAMS Continued from pg. 2B
to Walmart and bought her an introduction bow; she shot it for a couple of weeks before stopping, and her parents initially thought that’d be the end of her interest. But right before Christmas, Maddie asked if she could get a real bow. So for Christmas – right before she turned 11 – her parents got her a Diamond hunting bow. From there, Maddie and Chad grew their shared passion for the sport. At the end of that following January, Maddie and Chad shot in their first 3D archery tournament together. They continued to shoot 3D archery for the next couple of months before Maddie started with the Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) Program around April of last year. That following May, Emily Blackburn began working with Maddie as her first coach. Chad had brought her in for the first evaluation, which would show how Maddie would mesh with the team. Emily was there to observe Maddie’s evaluation. “I knew from the first time I watched her shoot that she had potential,” Emily said, “not just in the way she shot, because obviously mechanically we had a lot of progress to make – but in her composure and the way she handles herself. “She shot like somebody who’s been shooting a long time.” For Maddie, when it comes to archery, she likes the competition aspect of it. “I don’t really shoot for sport,” Maddie said. “I shoot against myself.” Chad remembered one day when they were riding back home from a practice, and Maddie said, “Daddy…this is kind of weird.” “Well, what?” he asked. “When I step up to the line…I can’t hear anything,” she said. “Okay, keep going,” he replied. “It’s like when I step up to shoot…everything just kind of shuts off,” she continued. “All I can see is my target, my bow.” “Well Maddie, that’s a gift!” he told her. “You have a gift!” For Maddie to be able to stand on the line, turn off the surrounding world and zone in on the target, that – Emily said – is a natural ability; it’s not something you can really teach someone. Chad knew that, when she first started working with Emily, Maddie “was going to be something special.” And in less than two years of pursuing the sport, Madelyn Adams, the 12-year-old archer from Powhatan, has already assembled a resume stacked with accolades. She impressed early on at the summer kickoff tournament in Chesterfield, placing second and prompting her move from the beginner’s group to the advanced group. In her second day competing in the Commonwealth Games at Liberty University – where she won two golds
– Maddie shot a perfect score of 300 – and that wasn’t with the competition setup she has now. She did that with her first bow. She’s made the podium or won in several smaller local tournaments while achieving a rank of fifth in the nation for indoors for the compound bowman female class and eighth for the JOAD indoor national rankings in the same class. She has won the indoor state tournament, she came in second the first year she competed in the outdoor state tournament and she recently won the ASA state tournament in 3D archery on Sunday, July 28 while adding another extremely accurate score of 299 out of 300. Maddie returned to Liberty University this past week where she competed in the State Games of America; in the FITA rounds, she finished second with a score of 1415 out of 1440. She shot 710 the first day her personal best - and 705 the second day, her personal-best two-day score. She’s getting ready to take on this weekend’s Virginia State Outdoor Championships at the Clover Hill Athletic Complex in Moseley, Aug. 10-11. She is a staff shooter for Ben Pearson Archery, T.R.U. Ball® Releases and AXCEL® Sights and Scopes, as well as a pro staff shooter for Vanguard Outdoors. She currently shoots a Pearson Strive bow. The furthest distance she’s ever shot as of July 29 is 50 meters. She competes in target archery, in which the participant shoots at paper targets from distances based on age division (Maddie currently shoots from 25 meters), and 3D archery, which consists of a trail through the woods with 3D animal targets. In describing why she likes 3D Archery, Maddie said that “it’s challenging but it’s fun, and it’s really cool.” Maddie has several teammates with whom she shoots on Emily’s JOAD team, called Split Nocks Archery. Maddie’s parents built targets at their house so that everyone on her team could have a place to go and practice. “Our door is always open to anybody who wants to start,” Chad said. Having a team to be a part of is extremely important for Maddie, her coach Emily said. “It encourages her to keep going…you have to have a social aspect to keep them interested in it to a certain degree,” Emily said, “and for her to feel pushed by her teammates is important because it forces her to grow a little bit, and she’s got some really, really good shooters that she gets to practice with, that keep her on her toes and keep her wanting to improve.” Most of the shooters around Maddie are older than her, and she gets along with a couple girls in the local area who are very close to her skillwise; they tend to finish within a couple points of

one another when they shoot, so for Lori and the family, it’s been really fun watching them compete. “They tend to kind of trade places and go back and forth,” Lori said, “and they’re all friends – they all talk on Instagram; whenever we see each other, they’re all hanging out and giggling and laughing…just being girls, and it’s been really fun to watch the friendships develop, too. We homeschool, and we have friends, but it’s different when you’ve got somebody that’s doing the same thing that you’re doing.” Through embracing archery, Chad said Maddie has become stronger mentally, and she’s also come out of her shell a little bit. When she first started with Emily, she wouldn’t say anything; now she talks the whole time, Emily said with a laugh. The sport has taught her a lot of self-discipline – Lori and Chad don’t harp on her to practice; Maddie does her practice schedule herself. “It’s something that we’ve left completely up to her; she knows what she needs to practice and when she can kind of take a little bit of a break and rest,” Lori said “We’ve always told her: You know your body; we don’t, and if you feel like you need to rest, then take a day off and rest; there’s nothing wrong with that. But at the same time, you know when
you’ve got things that you need to work on and you know when you need to get out there and do it and we’re going to leave it up to you.” When Maddie first started, Emily worked with her on things like changing the setup on her bow for her, and showing her how to do certain things. But now that Maddie’s been in the sport for over a year, they’re shifting to having Maddie troubleshoot and strive to fix those trouble areas on her own. “We told her: It’s okay to make a bad shot, but the important thing is that if you make a bad shot, you need to recognize why it was a bad shot so that you know what you did and how you can fix it so that it won’t happen again,” Lori said. “So if she needs to make an adjustment to her bow...she knows how to do it on her own.” As Maddie has learned how to be more self-sufficient in that regard with guidance from Emily, coaching Maddie has taught Emily a lot as well. “She’s pushed me to be a better coach, because when you have someone who’s such a sponge and she soaks up everything you say, you have to figure out more things to say,” she said with a laugh. “You have to keep pushing yourself to learn more, and she’s made me a better coach for sure.” “Emily has been such
a blessing for us as parents and to Maddie,” Chad said in turn. “They’re like best friends.” “It’s like big-sister, little-sister,” Lori said. When you look at an athlete’s development, there’s always that core – Chad said – and for Maddie, Emily is part of that core. “Whatever level she attains, whatever level she goes to, whatever that may be…always – always – that first page in her book will be written with Emily’s name on it,” he said. As Emily has coached Maddie for more than a year now, she’s watched her go from “a 10-yearold who was more focused than an average 10-year-old” to “a 12-year-old who stands there like a professional.” “She’s always the last one on the shooting line – she uses every minute she has to make sure she’s making clean, smart shots,” Emily said, “and that’s just not something you see in a kid usually.” What Maddie has achieved, she deserves, her coach emphasized – it’s not luck that’s gotten her to the level of success
she’s attained in such a short span of time and at such a young age. It’s hard work. “She’s a humble kid and she’s a good sportsman,” Emily said. “She’s supportive of her friends and her teammates and she’s likable and she’s lovable and it’s just cool to see her achieve everything she wanted to.” “It’s been fun watching other people notice what she’s doing, because we see her every day; we see it all the time,” Lori said, “but it’s been interesting especially…having other coaches and other teams come up and other kids tell her, ‘Man, you’re a really good shooter!’ and having coaches going, ‘How do you get her to do this? I’ve been trying to get my kids to do this for years!’ and we’re like, ‘I don’t know! She just does it!’ “It’s been really cool having feedback from other people’s programs from all over the country.” “It warms my heart” – Chad said – “not just to see how accomplished she is, but to know that it’s something that her and I share together. As a dad, I could not be more proud.”

Powhatan Today, August 7, 2019
GARLAND Continued from pg. 1B
olina and Texas. And ever since 2000, the incredibly accomplished horse trainer has called Powhatan his home. Every year, Garland hopes to come close to the kind of success he and his riders enjoyed in this year’s Region 15 Show in Lexington, through which the champions, reserve champions and top five qualify for the U.S. Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He won championships in the Arabian Western Pleasure Open on Holdin Aces (owned by Rob and Joelle Wright from New York), the Half-Arab Western Pleasure Junior Horse class on Rolling Rock (owned by Ray and Lynn Price from Pennsylvania) and the Arabian Hunter Pleasure Junior Horse class on Jens AJF (owned by Samantha Hilliard from Texas), while also winning the reserve championship in the Arabian Western Pleasure Junior Horse class on Jaweesh Aljassimya. Garland has trained a national champion or reserve national champion every year since 2000, and he doesn’t take a whole lot of horses to nationals - maybe 8 to 10 on average. To get to where he’s gotten, it takes time. It’s a continuous learning process – Garland himself is still learning new things all the time - and it’s a matter of remaining open-minded to taking on or thinking of new ways of how to do things. Every horse has a different personality, he
said – a lot of people think Arabian horses are high-strung, but really they’re not, Garland said; it’s all in how they’re handled. When it comes to horsemanship, he has a saying called “CPR� - confidence, patience and respect - and he’s seen that consistency of care and training pays off. “It’s easy to hang up a shingle and say you’re a horse trainer,� Garland said. “But being here when it’s cold, being here when it’s hot and doing the job, that takes something inside.� Garland has a good group of people that he works with, and that’s key, because the hardest job of any company now - he’s observed from having talked to different people with businesses – is finding good employees. “They’re loyal to what we do; they have a good work ethic and they come to work on time,� Garland said. “They have a passion for what they do as well.� To Garland, you’re only as good as the horses you get, and he’s been fortunate to have some great horses. From there, his role is to take care of them and bring them to the best that they can be when it’s time to take on nationals in October. Garland said visitors are always welcome to stop by the Garland Farm (915 Dorset Rd.) in Powhatan) and say hello. It’s a full-service horse-training facility in which Garland can help anyone with training any kind of breed if they need it.
