Blandford crowned as Educators thrilled with possibilities Christmas Mother 2019 By Laura McFarland Editor

P

OWHATAN – The Queen is ready to hold court. When Betsy Blandford was deciding on the theme for her upcoming year as the 2019 Christmas Mother, she heard some good suggestions, but none of them felt quite right. In the end, she fell back on something that she thought best represented her personality – Christmas Royalty. “Everybody needs to feel as lucky as a royal would on Christmas,” she said with a grin. The theme is a nod to a nickname that the veteran Powhatan teacher acquired when she was an instructional assistant in the local schools. One day when Blandford went to the neighboring classroom to get supplies, the teacher there joked to her students that “the Queen” had arrived. “Paige Belcher had a wonderful sense of humor. She stopped

what she was doing and said, ‘Oh look, the Queen has arrived. When the Queen comes into the room, all the princesses must curtsy,’ and she taught them how to curtsy. And she said ‘all the princes must bow,’ and she taught the boys how to bow. I think what she was doing was giving the kids a wiggle break,” Blandford said. But the name ended up sticking with both students and staff at Powhatan Elementary School, where she was an instructional assistant in the early 1990s, and followed her to Pocahontas Elementary, where she went on to teach from 1996 to 2018. Even her late husband, Bill, and PHOTO COURTESY OF PORTRAIT INNOVATIONS their friends adopted the moniker. Retired Powhatan teacher Betsy see CHRISTMAS, pg. 3

Blandford has been chosen as the 2019 Powhatan Christmas Mother.

Lawsuit against supervisors to go to trial By Laura McFarland Editor

Prsrt. Standard U.S. POSTAGE PAID Powhatan, VA Permit No.19

POWHATAN – A lawsuit brought against the county because of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ decision to eliminate the Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning district will move forward to trial, a judge decided last week. Retired Judge J. Michael Gamble presided over a hearing on Wednesday, Aug. 28 where he had

to rule on two motions the county made in response to the suit, which was filed on May 24. Gamble was specially appointed to hear the case by the Supreme Court of Virginia after Judge Paul Cella recused himself and all of the other judges on the 11th Judicial Circuit. Cella said he could not hear the case because he owns property located in the area in question. The lawsuit asserts that the members of the board of supervi-

sors and the planning commission were “were unreasonable, arbitrary, and capricious” in their decisions to eliminate the R-C zoning district and thus “downzone” 509 parcels in the county. It asks a judge to declare the board’s action unlawful, that the downzoning ordinance is null and void, and that zoning district continue in effect as it existed prior to the board’s action. see ZONING, pg. 4

offered by grants By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – For many Powhatan educators, the shock hasn’t quite worn off. Last week, Powhatan County Public Schools was rocked by the announcement that a local couple planned to donate more than $400,000 to be used for scholarships, programming, and giving $1,000 to every PCPS teacher and school counselor this school year. Even as educators were readying their classrooms for the start of the 2019-2020 school year, which started Tuesday, they were also still overwhelmed by the generosity of Bob and Karla Curtis, the Powhatan couple sharing some of the profits from the sale of their company, PIEtech Inc. Karla Curtis visited all five public schools in the district to share the news directly with each building’s staff. Every time she unveiled another step in their plan, the staff members became more excited and shocked. Michelle Clark couldn’t wrap her brain around the news. The first and second grade special education teacher at Flat Rock Elementary School said she looked at her teammates in disbelief (in a good way). “As Mrs. Curtis went in greater detail, I became shocked; I was at a loss for words. I had an overwhelming feeling of joy and happiness. I even had goose bumps all over my arms. I couldn’t believe such kind human beings would do such a reMichelle Clark markable thing,” Clark said. Some of the teachers who responded to questions about their reactions to the announcement said they haven’t decided what they will do with their $1,000 grant. Some seem overwhelmed by the possibilities now open to them. At the same time, where the money goes might be influenced by the ways the teachers say they have already been spending out of pocket for years, often to the tune of several hundred dollars. Clark said several different ideas went through see GRANTS, pg. 8

OWHATAN – Two Powhatan families celebrated summer with an international experience close to home when they hosted exchange students from Japan. The Martin and Davis families both opened their homes for a month to 13-yearold Japanese girls who came to experience everyday American life. Crystal and Josh Martin and their four children hosted Koyori Omura, who lives in Shizuoka, Japan. Liz and Mark Davis and their daughter hosted Yui Takahashi, who is from Kobe, Japan. Both families were firsttime hosts.

Powhatan 911 adopts technology to aid in alarm calls Contributed Report Powhatan County recently became the 56th 911 center or public safety answering point (PSAP) in the United States and the 10th in Virginia to implement the ASAP-to-PSAP service (ASAP®). The ASAP program is currently active in 15 states and the District of Columbia. ASAP, launched in 2011 as a publicprivate partnership, is designed to increase the accuracy and efficiency of the delivery of alarm notifications from alarm companies to 911 centers. The ASAP service utilizes American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard protocols

developed cooperatively by the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) and The Monitoring Association (TMA). “Implementation of the ASAP-toPSAP program will help eliminate the potential for clerical errors, reduce telephone call volumes to the 911 center from alarm companies, and, most importantly, reduces 911 call-processing times by as much as two to three minutes. We all know that every second counts in an emergency, and by reducing 911 processing times, we help save lives, protect property, provide faster response times to in-progress

events, and potentially help apprehend more criminals,” said Thomas Nolan, PSC-911 director for Powhatan County. The ASAP-to-PSAP program is the next generation technology that every 911 center should be working toward implementing, Nolan said. The benefits of the program include, but are not limited to the following: Reduced call volume and eventually no more alarm company phone calls! The alarm company receives and creates an incident that is directly sent to the corresponding 911 center for dispatch. see 911, pg. 8

Blandford has a big personality but an even bigger heart, and that is something she will bring to the role of Christmas Mother, said Carol Baltimore, who is both a friend and served in the role of Christmas Mother alongside her husband Bob Baltimore in 2011. “She brings an excitement with her personality and her ability to communicate with people. I just think Betsy is a lot of fun,” Carol Baltimore said. “In her classroom, she had the reputation of having a classroom that taught children by having fun. How much better can you get than that? I think that is what she is bringing to the Christmas Mother.” Blandford was scheduled to execute her first official duty as Christmas Mother by riding in Powhatan’s annual Labor Day Parade on Monday, Sept. 2. This is typically the unveiling of the new Christmas Mother, which meant keeping it a secret for most people for months. She laughed as she admitted it was “unbelievably hard because I like to talk.” Blandford hasn’t really been involved in the

Christmas Mother program, but as a teacher of third-graders for most of her career and secondgraders in the last three years before she retired, she knows the impact the program can have on children. What she saw as a teacher about how children are impacted by their surroundings and quality of life definitely colored how she viewed the Christmas Mother program, Blandford said. In the school setting, if a child isn’t getting something they need that is fundamental, learning can take a back seat. For instance, if a child hasn’t had breakfast and is experiencing hunger pains in class, making sure they learn their multiplication tables isn’t a priority for them.

those kids where there might not be anything. They might not be able to come back after Christmas and say, ‘Guess what I got,’” Blandford said. “And everybody should feel on Christmas morning or whenever they open a gift that there is going to be a surprise – that there is going to be something special about that day. “One day out of the year it ought to be different. That was my mindset. If I can do anything to help some of the children of Powhatan have a better holiday season, then I am all in,” she said. That mindset had already influenced Blandford’s choices after she retired in June 2018. In addition to spending more time with her family – she has two grown daughters and two grandchildren – she wanted to do something worthwhile with her time. As a teacher, she said she became much more aware of food insecurity, so she started volunteering with FeedMore, which she now does twice a week. And when the Powhatan Christmas Everyday Committee reached out to her about this new role, her previous understanding of the program made her just as excited to

help. “I already know it is going to be rewarding for me. I want it to be equally as rewarding for those who come in contact with me. I would like to be as accessible as possible,” she said. “I don’t think any Christmas Mother can know ahead of time what it is going to be, but I also think each Christmas Mother does it in her own way. A lot of these ladies I have known for a long time so I am fully confident of their support and guidance.” Blandford has such a vivacious personality as well as being organized and passionate about helping children, said Ginny Broughton, Christmas Mother 2002. The two women have known each other since Blandford was an instructional assistant in Broughton’s class, and the latter said Blandford was always “gung ho” and “willing to do what needed to be done.” “Being such an outgoing person, I think she will do wonderful with fundraising. She is very organized too. That is a big plus because you have so many things the Christmas Mother has to do. I really believe she will do an excellent job,” Broughton said.

Baltimore concurred, saying Blandford is bringing “personality, excitement and a new boost for the next 50 years. She is

ZONING Continued from pg. 1

Tom Lacheney, county attorney, had filed a demurrer asking the judge to dismiss the plaintiffs’ case, arguing that no downzoning occurred and the zoning reclassification did not violate their vested rights. After hearing arguments from Lacheney and Gregory Habeeb, the attorney for the plaintiffs, Gamble overruled the motion, and granted the plaintiffs a trial, which could take place in mid October or earlier. While Gamble didn’t agree with all of Habeeb’s arguments, he said he had raised certain issues that could be a case for arguing arbitrary and capricious rezoning. During the arguments, Lacheney maintained that the county had not downzoned the R-C properties in the lawsuit that were rezoned to Agriculture (A-10) because the owners actually gained by-right uses. He also argued that the rezoning reclassification did not violate the property owners’ vested rights because they are seeking to protect

“rights they have not taken advantage of,� such as future development. Vested rights mean that a landowner has a right to continue in an existing use, but it doesn’t stop a governing body from changing a zoning classification, which causes the use to become noncomforming, Lacheney said. Habeeb stuck to the argument that the board’s action was arbitrary and capricious rezoning that was inconsistent with the county’s existing comprehensive plan; reduced the property values as well as the county’s tax base; and disregarded private property rights. The judge also granted a motion made on the county’s behalf to dismiss two of the plaintiffs from the lawsuit – Richard Cox, a realtor, and the Richmond Association of Realtors. The judge agreed that those two plaintiffs didn’t meet the standards of a two-part test established in a 2013 Supreme Court of Virginia case for who has legal standing as a plaintiff in a declaratory judgment challenging a land use decision.

family, but especially her oldest daughter, Krissa, 12, who acted as the main host during Koyori’s visit. The visit was interesting as well as challenging, both families agreed. Neither Japanese girl had strong English skills, so there was a huge language barrier in everyday life, Martin said. “She speaks very little English so we have to get creative when it comes to ways to communicate, like charades where we are pointing or using Alexa or Google translate,� Martin said. Liz Davis agreed the language barrier was the biggest challenge for her family as well. It was hard to do something simple like chit chat with Yui. But the young girl was outgoing and willing to try new things, so she seemed to be enjoying the experience, including cooking traditional Japanese food for her host family. It helped that Davis’ daughter, Maddy, 13, is interested in Japanese culture and worked hard to put her new friend at ease. “Yui brought pictures of her country, her family, and Japanese games. So I feel like Maddy has gotten exposure to that – real stuff versus what she is reading on the internet,� Davis said. Yui said she participated in the exchange program because she felt American life and culture would change her. During her visit, she struggled with not knowing much English and homesickness. But she enjoyed “family time, playing games and badminton.� Maddy said she was nervous at first and a bit uncomfortable, but once she got to know Yui, she realized her visit would actually be pretty fun. “I have learned more about products, clothes, food from Japan and learned more Japanese, too,� said Maddy, who said she would like to visit Japan and meet Yui’s family. Krissa Martin also said having Koyori stay with her family made her want to learn more about Japan and one day visit her new friend there. She said she loved showing Koyori how she is homeschooled because it is so different from the Japanese girl’s school experience. Krissa also enjoyed taking her to her favorite restaurant, Chick-fil-A. Koyori said her favorite parts of her stay were family time, watching movies and shopping. The biggest challenge was communication. When the host families got their instructions for the month-long visit, they were asked not to constantly run around doing special trips so the girls could experience the everyday life of an American family, Crystal Martin said. She admits they did throw a few extra treats in there – such as short trips to Williams-

SECOND ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH

burg and Smith Mountain Lake – but overall, they wanted to give Koyori a typical American summer. They attended vacation Bible school at their church, signed up for the 4-H Farm to Table Camp for a week, played games, and saw “The Lion King.� It was also interesting to see Koyori experience a more rural lifestyle. The Martins live on a 3-acre lot in a neighborhood but have horses behind them and plenty of space to roam. It was a very different experience for the young girl from Japan, who lives in a much smaller house in a city. “Seeing everything through her eyes has been really fun because we are used to it all. We are used to land, to space and pets,� Martin said.

The Martin family welcomed Japanese exchange student Koyori Omura this summer.

The Davis family took a trip to Washington, D.C. and visited King’s Dominion, but they also gave Yui plenty of exposure to normal rural life in Powhatan. Davis said her family took Yui horseback riding on their 9-acre property and let her interact with the animals they own. “She went fishing with my husband. ‌ She lives in the city. We have goats and dogs. All of that has been an adjustment for her, too. She doesn’t have any animals. She helped with feeding the dogs. She goes out with my daughter to feed the goats. She is very helpful,â€? Davis said. The two families don’t know each other but Davis and Martin had their children and young visitors meet on Aug. 8 at a bowling alley. The two Japanese girls gravitated to each other, obviously finding it comfortable to speak their native language after several weeks of constantly struggling to communicate. Davis lauded not only the experience of hosting but the bravery of the 13-yearold girls to leave their countries and travel to somewhere they don’t speak the language to have this new experience. “They have been incredible,â€? she said.

Cumberland County Cumberland students welcome start of 2019-2020 school year PHOTOS COURTESY OF CUMBERLAND PH COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Students at Cumberland County Public Schools returned to classes and friends on Aug. 12. The year begins with a student population of 535 pre-kindergarten to fourthgrade students at Cumberland Elementary School; 385 fifth- to eighth-graders at Cumberland Middle School, and 402 students at Cumberland High School.

The Cumberland County Public School Foundation sponsored a reunion for former students of Cumberland High School on July 20 at the Cumberland Middle/High School Complex.

Alumni gather for reunion Contributed Report The Cumberland County Public School Foundation sponsored a reunion for former students of Cumberland High School on Saturday, July 20, in the cafetorium of the Middle/ High School Complex. More than 250 former students and teachers gathered at the school around 4 p.m. and were welcomed by the Reunion Committee. After an hour of getting reacquainted and enjoying seeing many former classmates, those present heard from superintendent, Dr. Amy Griffin, who welcomed them to the school system. Following her remarks Dr. Jeffrey Scales, a former principal of the school and present member of the foundation board, addressed the group. Scales told the group that the Cumberland County Public School Foundation was established in 2001 as a 501C(3) non-profit organi-

zation that provides a channel for individuals, businesses, and foundations to make tax deductible gifts to the Cumberland County public school system. This year, the foundation has given 39 scholarships to 25 students for a total of $33,650, the highest total ever. To date the foundation has given a total of $127,734 in teacher grants and $342,950 in scholarships to Cumberland High School graduates. This is a grand total of foundation giving of $470,684. In addition to the donors, Cumberland County citizens and surrounding counties have shown a commitment to this cause as well by participating in several activities held during each year, such as the annual 5K Run, the Walk for Education, Praise Celebrations and now, hopefully, an annual reunion. Those present enjoyed listening to music from the

different decades thanks to DJ Kevin Ingle, who is a 1981 graduate of Cumberland. The meal was prepared by the school cafeteria staff under the direction of William Brandt. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all who attended. Alumna Claudia Dowdy Reed brought a scroll for all who were there to sign and gave it to Barbara Gamage, who was instrumental in getting the reunion together. The foundation members asked for help with funds for scholarships and grants from the group and help with locating more of the students and teachers from past years. Those in attendance came from California, Florida, Tennessee, and around the state of Virginia. They ranged in age from the Class of 1948 to 1995. Organizers will begin planning an annual alumni dinner for the summer of 2020.

When you go out to dine, you might use a credit card to pay for your food. When you get gas for your vehicle, you may use a debit card. But did you know that, when you want to pick up some brain food or fuel your children’s imagination, you can use your library card? In fact, you can use your library card to go everywhere, meet everyone and do everything. There are no limits to the usefulness of a library card, as libraries offer fun and informative resources to pursue your passions and succeed in school. In addition to books, magazines, newspapers, DVDs, audiobooks and other resources (both print and electronic), the library provides classes, workshops, programs and events which are tailored to meet specific interests and needs of every age level. Early childhood learning programs prepare young children for school. For preschool age children, libraries offers early literacy activities and story times to encourage school readiness. The Cumberland County Public Library offers Mother Goose on the Loose on Wednesdays from 10 to 11 a.m. Designed for young children, it incorporates reading, songs and crafts into learning activities. Led by Marjorie Robison, preschool children (and their parents) are encouraged to attend. On the other days of the week, there are two computers with educational programs in the children’s section of the library as well as an assortment of puzzles, manipulatives and toys to focus not only on learning, but also gross and fine motor skills. Even the library’s website offers online learning activities for preschool children through World Book: Early World of Learning. Accessed under Databases in the E-Resources tab, it includes 60 stories (some available in both English and Spanish and all with readaloud function) that tie video, games and printable materials. Also included in the World Book database are nursery rhymes, classic songs and fairy tales. The library is also participating in a new program called 1000 Books Before

Kindergarten. The program seeks to have parents and children read together as a way to create life-long memories around reading and books. Studies show that reading with your child is a great opportunity for bonding. Although the program is self-paced, if you read just one book a day to your child(ren), then you can read 365 books in one year! The program’s website (at https://1000booksbef orekindergarten.org/resources/) provides program instructions, reading log sheets, certificates, etc., to help parents not only keep track of the program, but also print sheets to commemorate each 100-book milestone along the way. Also included on the website are details on the iPhone or Android apps available and lists of books to consider. Children are encouraged to bring in their reading logs to the library when they’ve finished each 100 books. Not only will they get a free book furnished by the Library of Virginia, but (if they read at least 100 books by the end of September and bring in their log) they’ll also be invited to a special ice cream party on Oct. 2! Kids (as well as teens and parents) need programs and activities that supplement school and life experiences. Several educational databases and programs under the E-Resources tab on the Cumberland County Public Library’s website can help with those areas. From Rocket Languages’ interactive foreign language courses to ReadIt’s short articles to support reading skills, help with homework has never been easier. Group and one-onone instruction are available at the library to teach students how to use these valuable educational resources. The library also has four backpacks provided by Bear Creek Lake State Park (along with free parking passes) which may be checked out so families can explore the state park using the materials found inside. There are even programs for children and teens (as well as adults) offered when school is not in session. The Cumberland County Public Library has been offering a Summer Reading Program for see LIBRARY CARD, pg. 7

Division wins two Virginia School Board Association awards Contributed Report Cumberland County Public Schools (CuCPS) was presented with two awards at the annual Virginia School Boards Association (VSBA) Conference on Education, which was held in Richmond on July 22. CuCPS received a first place award in the Food for Thought competition and a third place award in the Excellence in Workforce Readiness competition. The Food for Thought competition

The competition is divided into three separate categories—Healthy School Meals, Meal Access to Fight Hunger, and Wellness and Physical Activity. This year Cumberland County Public Schools won in the category of Healthy School Meals. The Excellence in Workforce Read-

No matter your place in life, you can help By Laura McFarland Editor

“Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness.” – The Dalai Lama, “Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World.” Through the years, Powhatan has produced so many stories of people coming together, opening their hearts, and following the Golden Rule. Sometimes they do it with their love and support and sometimes with their actions. It didn’t have to be a huge gesture to be meaningful. I remember how much appreciation was generated when a local teenage grocery store worker paid for the groceries of a single mother so she wouldn’t have to leave empty-handed. But sometimes, big gestures can in turn have a huge impact, as recently was the case among Powhatan’s schools, both private and public. In these two unrelated stories, the one common denominator was that people with both good hearts and good resources opened not only their hearts but their checkbooks to make a difference. The first of these great stories started at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School, which recently received more than $1 million in donations for

campus improvements and technology upgrades. Those donations, as well as the promise of more, were made by Richmond residents Keith and Kathleen Brower in memory of their late granddaughter, Arabella Stuart Brower. Arabella was 16 when she died of an undiagnosed heart condition in September 2015 before she could graduate from the local private school. In the time she was at Blessed Sacrament, she had a big impact. And the kindness and generosity she showed her school family led to an outpouring of love and support by her peers in the Class of 2016 that greatly moved her real family. So when Kathleen Brower visited the campus and realized the school needed help for physical improvements, she and her husband decided to make a difference at the school that meant so much to their granddaughter. They also set up a scholarship fund in her honor. In doing so, the Browers have had a huge impact on current and future students and staff. Our second story was slightly more recent. Last week, Karla Curtis surprised the majority of the school district with the announcement that she and her husband, Bob, would be donating more than $400,000 to Powhatan County Public Schools. The donations came in the form of a $25,000 scholarship fund, $45,000 to some of the key programs in the

The Lady and the Bull By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

This is a story about an amazing woman named Bette Ford. No, not the one who was married to President Gerald Ford and spelled her name in a more traditional fashion, but the one who left a modeling career in New York City in favor of the dust and danger of a bullring in Mexico. To describe Bette’s childhood as humble would be a huge understatement. Born Harriet Elizabeth Dingeldein in Pennsylvania, Ford and her brother were abandoned by their parents and raised by relatives. Despite the early difficulties, Ford graduated from high school and moved to New York to begin a modeling career. Some will remember her as the Jantzen swimsuit girl or the Parliament Cigarette girl, but she gradually worked her way into the new world of television, regularly appearing on series like the Jackie Gleason Show. She also met and briefly married husband David Ford during this period. A photo shoot in Bogotá, Colombia, provided the impetus for her life-changing decision to enter the bullring, a largely male-dominated sport still immensely popular in Mexico and even across the border in Texas. After attending a bullfight, Ford became enamored with the sport, the spectacle and ritual aspects of the event and the romantic thrill of the ring. She returned to New York, but her heart remained in the cruel

reality of the ring. Eventually, she packed up and pursued a career as a bullfighter. There were other women in the ring at the time, but female competitors faced blatant discrimination and exclusion among traditional matadors. Eventually, Ford earned her way to the biggest arenas and even fought in the famed Plaza Mexico, the largest bull ring in the world. MGM made a movie about her bullfighting career called “Beauty and the Bull.” The movie illustrated Ford’s dedication to the sport, and her willingness to endure the dangers of the ring, gored on several occasions and roughed up even more. After a successful career in the ring in Mexico and the Philippines, Ford returned to the United States where she met and married John Meston, co-founder of the series “Gunsmoke.” Ford resumed her acting career, appearing in a number of television series over the last four decades, and she often recalled her days in the ring where valor and devotion danced with a devil with horns. By all accounts, Ford is a renaissance woman, a successful female who overcame the greatest of obstacles to obtain the career she envisioned, not one dictated by others. And what a story. There aren’t many who list professions as singer, actor, producer and, don’t forget, bullfighter. At 92, Ford is still working in the entertainment business, mostly doing voiceover work for animated series. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

schools, and giving a $1,000 grant to every single teacher and counselor in the school district. The couple is able to make this generous donation thanks to the sale of their company, PIEtech Inc. earlier this year for roughly $500 million. When I attended the first announcement of the donations on Aug. 26, I was just as shocked as the teachers and staff at Powhatan Middle School learning about it. Curtis gave the same announcement at the four other schools, a few of which I attended. The second and third time around, I will admit it felt good to have my camera pointed at the teachers in anticipation of the different stages of the announcements. When Curtis got to the part about giving teachers and counselors $1,000 with no restrictions because she and her husband know how hard they work and how much they sacrifice for their students, you could see how much her words were taken to heart. We need the small stories about simple acts of kindness, but we also need the big stories about people with the means to do some good in the world actually stepping up and doing it. Because both stories are reminders that no matter where you are in life, you can be a positive influence on your community. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Virginia Native Plant Society to hold nature walk to explore different local habitats Contributed Report RICHMOND – Join environmental scientist Joey Thompson as he leads a walk for the Pocahontas Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society on Sunday, Sept. 8. The group will explore an acidic oak-heath forest, a mesic mixed hardwood forest and lastly, a relic piedmont prairie habitat rich in late-summer wildflowers and numerous ecologically important grasses. Register with Leslie Allanson at leleorr4@gmail.com to confirm participation. Those taking part will meet a little before 11 a.m. at the parking area behind Richmond Fire Station 25, 8800 W Huguenot Rd. Anyone with an interest in the local native landscape is welcome, from novice to expert. The outing is free. The walk will cover about

1.5 miles with some hills and would be considered moderate to moderately-vigorous intensity. Wear walking shoes and bring your own insect and sun protection, as well as water and snacks. The trip may be canceled due to heavy rain; contact Leslie with any questions. The Pocahontas Chapter is one of 12 Virginia Native Plant Society chapters, and serves the counties of Amelia, Charles City, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, King William, New Kent, Powhatan, and Prince George, and the cities of Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Petersburg, and Richmond.

STUDENT NEWS Rehme to attend U.S. Naval Academy Calie Rehme a graduate of Powhatan High School in Powhatan was inducted into the Naval Academy Class of 2023 on Thursday, June 27, and spent six challenging weeks of basic midshipman training as part of Plebe Summer.

her head as she absorbed the amazing news. She said she already spends her own money on items ranging from school supplies to classroom incentives, but this “grant has inspired me to think outside the box.” “I have a few items in mind that I would like to purchase for my classroom that will meet the needs of my students (sensory items, incentive prizes, and social stories). By being blessed with this money, I will be able to buy things that my students and I will need throughout the school year without second guessing my order due to money restraints,” she said. “There are endless possibilities this money has opened up for me, and I can’t wait to explore my options.” Claudia Stocker and Sophia Bastaich co-teach seventh grade math at Powhatan Middle School. They estimated they probably spend a combined $800 per year of their own funds for everything from candy or small gifts to reward their students to classroom supplies to items they can use in creative activities. The two teachers have discussed

Academy received over 16,000 applications for the Class of 2022. During this time, plebes have no access to television, movies, the internet or music, and restricted access to cell phones. They are only permitted to make three calls during the six weeks of Plebe Summer. The pressure and rigor of Plebe Summer is carefully designed to help plebes prepare for their first academic year at the Naval Academy and the four years of challenge, which awaits them. As the summer progresses, the new midshipmen rapidly assimilate basic skills in seamanship, navigation, damage control, sailing, and handling yard patrol craft.

They have talked about using the money on resources that can be used to celebrate the successes of their students; amping up their real-life lessons, as well as saving some for student issues that pop up unexpectedly. Jessica Miller, a second grade teacher at Pocahontas Elementary, said the possibilities for how she will spend her money feel endless, but as an avid reader, she knows she is going to invest in books for Jessica Miller her students. “I will be purchasing books that can be put in the hands of my students. I would like to have more classroom library books, read-aloud picture books, instructional books for guided reading, and take home reading books. I love to gift students with books that get them excited about reading,” she said.

Morgan named to Sewanee Dean’s List Molly Catherine Morgan of Powhatan has been named to the Dean’s List at the University of the South for the Easter 2019 term. To earn a place on Sewanee’s Dean’s List, a student must earn a minimum grade point average of 3.625 on a 4.0 scale. Morgan is the daughter of KimberIn a normal school year, Miller also purchases general school supplies, items to enhance her instruction, and personal items that her students need. For instance, there are students in need of snacks, winter jackets, gloves, and Christmas presents. “As teachers, we are compelled to help families in any way we can because we don't want to see a child go without. I want to provide the most positive school experience for all my students,” she said. English teacher Corbin Wright is new to PCPS this year as she prepares for her first year at Powhatan High School but her 16th year of teaching in Virginia. In all that time, she said she has “never experienced such an overwhelming show of support and gratitude to educators. It made me feel thankful to be part of a county where the community truly believes in and advocates for quality public education.” Wright said she spends anywhere from $200 to $500 a year out of pocket on her classroom, depending on the needs of her students. Usually, these funds go toward basic, operable classroom supplies such as pens, paper, tissues, or books to expand the classroom library. Other years, she invested a bit more in order to broaden student exposure to meaningful technology by purchasing items like Spheros or iPod Touches from which the students could run a variety of educational, collaborative learning apps. Wright added that she hasn’t made definite plans for her $1,000 yet. She wants to get to know her students and “make sure the investment I make is one from which all students will benefit.” Jill Dewey, a first grade teacher at Powhatan Elementary School, also said she is also waiting to meet her new students and look for ways that she can best use the funds to enhance their learning. Jill Dewey Dewey said she spends an average of $750, or $50 to $70 a month, of her own money for classroom needs. Usually the money is allotted for new books, supplies for crafts or STEM activities, snacks or treats, and school supplies for the students. Providing a classroom library with new and engaging material allows her students to find topics that will begin their love of reading. She added that “any teacher will tell you that keeping a stash of snacks or treats are

important.” While she doesn’t have definite plans, Dewey said she feels “freed in knowing that cost will not be a restriction to the needs that need to be met. My ideas are nearly limitless and the students within my classroom will benefit tremendously.” Rebecca Lendyak-McMahon, eighth grade school counselor at Powhatan Middle School, said she was already shocked by the idea of all the teachers getting an individual grant when it sank in that counselors were being included as well. The middle school’s counseling department has been dreaming of creating a "mindfulness room" so students have easy access to calming strategies and tools that include visual, audio and tactical elements. “However, we have been struggling with how to create this space in an authentic manner without the funds or with very limited funds to do so,” she said. “This grant will allow us to create this authentic space for students to take a moment to decompress while learning self-calming strategies so that they can return to their task feeling settled and stronger.”

Grants for programs In addition to the $1,000 individual grants, part of the Bob and Karla Curtis’ donation is a $45,000 grant that will be split between the school district’s music program, the career and technical education (CTE) program, and the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) program. Money can be used for any activities or supplies for each of the programs at the discretion of their program coordinators. Libbey Kitten, K-12 science/STEM specialist, said she feels like the program has won the Virginia STEM lottery. The STEM program will use its portion of the award to “provide high impact experiences/opportunities for students who show an interest in STEM.” Educators are currently generating a list of ideas, and the STEM Steering Committee will convene in the near future to decide how we allocate funds. The grant money awarded to the CTE program will be used for the purchase of new industry standard equipment and resources that will be utilized by multiple content areas, said Dr. Jason Tibbs, CTE director. The money will also help support additional program requirements that are necessary for industry credentials and certifications. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

ASAP is provided by TMA as a free service to enable the rapid delivery of alarm notifications to 911 centers. “This new technology eliminates the need for alarm companies to physically dial into the emergency communications center to relay alarm information,” said Nolan. “They’ll now electronically send alarm info to the ECC, reducing call processing times and communication errors. We’ll also improve efficiency in dispatching first responders to the alarm.” Vector and Rapid Response were the first

alarm monitoring companies to go live with Powhatan County. The county is appreciative of Vector’s and Rapid Response’s support and work in “helping us bring this new technology to our citizens. We also know that without the direction/support from Mr. William Hobgood, (the inventor/architect of ASAP to PSAP program) this service wouldn’t be in use today,” Nolan said. An additional 10 alarm companies are expected to begin delivering alarm notifications to Powhatan County by the end of September 2019.

Powhatan’s Catherine Griffith (from left), keeper Emily Stephenson, Alicia Dern and Ella Weber get ready to defend against a corner in Powhatan’s Aug. 28 home game versus Midlothian.

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor There are multiple strong teams to look up to in the Dominion District. Last year, James River reached the regional semifinals. Both Cosby and Midlothian reached their respective state tournaments. Midlothian won its way into the state semifinals. Right away, Powhatan’s showing itself to be among those strong teams. The Indians made a statement in their 2019 season-opener - also Powhatan Field Hockey’s first game ever as a member of the Dominion District – with a thrilling 2-1 triumph on the road over Cosby in shootouts on Monday, Aug. 26. Their win wasn’t just a statement maker – it was also a notable improvement over Powhatan’s first time ever meeting Cosby on the field hockey grid in 2018, when the Titans won 3-0. “It was definitely special to beat Cosby in our first game of the season and the first game as a member of the Dominion District,” said Powhatan head coach Stephanie Tyson. “Cosby is always a team that makes it to the regional finals and state games. They have made a name for themselves as

one of the top programs in the Dominion District and in the Richmond area. It was such a fun game to coach and be a part of.” Tyson pointed to how hard both teams worked through regulation time, sudden death overtime and then the second level beyond regulation: shootouts. “It was big for many reasons, but I think in moving forward, this will help our confidence in knowing that we can be competitive and play with all of the teams in this new district,” Tyson said. “I am not sure if people really know how difficult the Jefferson District is as far as field hockey. But I think playing in that district and facing [highquality] field hockey programs has helped us immensely. “We could not take winning any of our games for granted and we knew it was always going to be a fight,” Tyson said. “I think that has helped to prepare us for the district we are in now.” After Cosby scored first, junior Hanna Hathaway sent in a crucial short-corner goal that enabled Powhatan to tie Cosby 1-1 and helped set up the eventual overtime situations. Hathaway had inserted the ball to Michala Taylor before receiving the pass; Tyson said Hathaway “was at the right place at the right time. “ “She really does have a knack for that-

OWHATAN Throughout Monday’s match, a lot of smiles could be seen on Powhatan’s side of the court. They had plenty of reason to smile. For one, every single one of the Indians’ players got to contribute to their team’s regular season opener on the hardwood opposite of L.C. Bird. And then there’s the fact that they won their opener 3-0. Powhatan Volleyball strung together dominant sets of 25-5, 25-5 and 25-9 against the Skyhawks to kick-off the 2019 season. Coach Cindy Bryant said it was “super significant” that all of her players picked up minutes on the court early in the stretch, and she praised how they “were able to all work together tonight” in their first district game to pull out a win. Bryant continued to be impressed with Zoe Higley on the right side and her smart placement of see VOLLEYBALL, pg. 5B

Powhatan opening 2019 against Matoaca By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – For several months, Mike Henderson has been looking forward to leading the Powhatan Indians in that first-ever regular season game as their head coach. The day he’s been waiting for is now only two days away, as Powhatan Football opens its 2019 season at home versus Matoaca on Friday, Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. “It’s certainly an exciting time – I was driving home from a volleyball game last night with my daughter and ANJIE KAY/ FOR THE POWHATAN TODAY she said: ‘It’s really cool to be able to Powhatan’s Hans Rehme readies a pass in come to a Powhatan game and see an Aug. 29 scrimmage versus Atlee.

phasis on special teams, and Henderson expects the visitors to be wellbalanced and extremely athletic. “They’re always big up front… they’ve always got some skilled kids that are tough to contend with,” Henderson said. “It’s certainly going to be quite a challenge for your first game, to see a big division 5 team rolling in that’s got a lot of talent, a lot of size. But that kind of seems to be par for the course with our schedule this year, so we’re going to have to rise up. That’s what makes it a great sport and a great game, is trying to see if we can rise to that challenge week after week…” see FOOTBALL, pg. 2B

With the graduation of starting quarterback Jacob Moss, starting running back Jacob Taylor and a majority of the offensive line, the Indians have a newlook offense to match the new-look coaching staff led by Henderson. Versatile athlete and junior Aaron Nash is the current starting quarterback, although Powhatan expects to also rotate in sophomore Hans Rehme into that position a little bit. Henderson noted they’re not afraid to start sophomore Rehme should there be a game in which Nash can give the Indians an advantage at wide receiver. Henderson added that Nate Moyer had a great camp and has done a really good job for the team in the backfield; he’s currently the lead tailback, but the coaches are also comfortable with Tristen Bradley, Isaac Trent and Mitchell Johnson getting carries. Four of the five offensive linemen positions were set as of Aug. 28; the Indians up front will be led by 6-3 junior Bradey Lindhjem at left tackle and will also feature sophomore and defensive standout Wyatt Lowe at left guard, junior Mason Hathaway at center and sophomore Mitch Bolt at right tackle. Henderson on Aug. 28 said that hopefully the Aug. 29 scrimmage against Atlee would identify the leading player at right guard; at the time, sophomore Tanner Palmore and junior Luke Beatty were in the rotation at that position. “There’s a lot of talent there,” Henderson said of the team’s young offensive line, which has also been doing a lot of learning on the fly, including techniques, schemes and how to be a

County congratulates Powhatan Majors Staff Report POWHATAN - With a proclamation on Monday, Aug. 26, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors congratulated the Powhatan Majors Baseball team on an outstanding performance that carried the Majors into the Dixie Majors World Series in Louisiana - and also to a victory in the tournament. The players and coaches began their journey on July 12 in the Dixie Majors state tournament, which was held in South Hill, with an extra-innings semifinal triumph over Buckingham. Powhatan advanced to the state finals and, while finishing the tourney as the state runner-up to Goochland, advanced to the World Series as Virginia’s All-Stars as Gooch-

land was unable to play in the series. The coaches, the players, local businesses and the community of Powhatan came together to find the funds to make the team’s trip to Louisiana possible; while there, the Majors triumphed on Day 1, defeating the All-Stars from North Carolina. They would ultimately go three games deep with a Day 2 loss to Florida and a Day 3 elimination loss to Texas. The proclamation said that “these young men and their coaches showed grit, professionalism, spirit, perseverance, teamwork, and good sportsmanship for all the world to see.” The players were Tanner Ritt, D.J. Herring, Carson Connor, Samuel Schuette, Mitch Peyton, Isaac Trent,

POWHATAN - The young Powhatan Golf team continued to grow with their home match versus Manchester on Wednesday, Aug. 28. Manchester won 165173. All four of Powhatan’s top scorers were grouped together as Adam Camp, Brandon Washburn and Logan Wyatt each scored a 43, and Connor Voorhees shot a 44. Powhatan head coach Chris Leech said they played well considering that they were hit by some rain during the match. “We just need to tighten up around the greens and shave off those unnecessary strokes,” Leech said. “Our goal going forward is to try to get two scores at or below 40 to stay competitive with Dominion District teams here on out.” The medalist for the match was Manchester’s Zach Valdes, who shot a 34. In a three-team match on Thursday, Aug. 29, Powhatan defeated L.C. Bird 191-221 while Clover Hill defeated both teams with a score of 164 at Brandermill Country Club (9 holes, par 36).

today announced its policy for providing free or reduced price meals for children served under the National School Lunch, and/or School Breakfast Programs. Each school and/or central school nutrition office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. Household size and income will be used to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meal benefits. Children from households whose income is at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines, shown in the chart below, may be eligible for either free or reduced price meals. Children who are members of households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) may be automatically eligible for free meals. Children who are homeless, migrant, or runaway may also be automatically eligible for free meals. Foster children, who are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court, are eligible for free meals regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside. Children who are members of households participating in WIC may also be eligible for free or reduced-price meals based on the household’s income.

ORDERED that the Defendant appear before this Court on or before September 30, 2019 to protect his interests herein. ENTERED: 8/AUGUST/2019 S/PAUL W. CELLA, JUDGE I ASK FOR THIS: Graham T. Jennings, Jr. PC 3810 Old Courthouse Tavern Ln Powhatan, VA. 23139 804-598-7912

Application forms are being distributed to all households with a letter informing households of the availability of free or reduced price meals for their children. Applications are also available at the principal’s office in each school and at the central office. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households must only fill out one application per household and return it to the school division. Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. The information households provide on the application will be used for determining eligibility and verification of data. Applications may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. For school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price benefits, households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) only have to list their child(ren)’s name and SNAP or TANF case number and an adult household member must sign the application. Households who do not list a SNAP or TANF case number, including WIC households, must list the names of all household members, the amount and frequency of the income received by each household member, and the last four digits of the social security number of the adult household member who signs the application. If the household member does not have a social security number, the household member must indicate that a social security number is not available. The application must be signed by an adult household member in order to be approved. Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal policy, Assistant - Food Service Compliance; Assist Superintendent for Finance and Business Operations will review applications and determine eligibility. An application for free or reduced price meals cannot be approved unless it is complete. Households dissatisfied with the ruling of the eligibility determining official may wish to discuss the decision with the official on an informal basis. Households wishing to make a formal appeal for a hearing on the decision may make a request either verbally or in writing to: Tracie Omohundro 2320 Skaggs Road, Powhatan, VA 23139 (804)598-5700 Households may apply for free or reduced price meals at any time during the school year. If a household is not eligible now but has a change, such as a decrease in household income, an increase in household size, becomes unemployed or qualifies for SNAP or TANF, the household should contact the school for an application. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for benefits if the household's income falls at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Households that receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) may not have to complete an application for free or reduced price student meals. School officials will determine eligibility for free meals based on documentation, obtained directly from the Virginia Department of Social Services, that a child is a member of a household currently receiving SNAP or TANF. School officials will notify these households in writing of their eligibility. Households who are notified of their eligibility, but who do not want their children to receive free meals, must contact the school. SNAP and TANF households must complete an application if they are not notified in writing of their automatic eligibility within the first 10 days of the new school year. In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English. To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at: http://www.ascr.usda.gov/complaint_filing_cust.html, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit your completed form or letter to USDA by: (1)

mail: U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights 1400 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20250-9410;
