Crowds flock to Village for Labor Day Parade By Laura McFarland

A whopping 73 parade entries marched through the Village area for the annual festivities, including a surprising number of political entries ranging from local to the national level, she said. Usually in an election year the presence of candidates and political parties is definitely seen on the Courthouse Green, but this year “political candidates wanted to be marching in the parade.” Among the walkers on the parade route was Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, who said this was her third time joining in the annual Labor Day tradition. “I love it. It is, I think, one of the biggest, most exciting parades that we have across our 10 counties. There is a tremendous sense of community,” she said. “For me, the really important thing is to be out in the community meeting people, giving people the chance to ask me questions,

POWHATAN – A great turnout among spectators and one of the longest float line-ups in recent years combined with a beautiful day outside to make a success of the 2019 Powhatan Lions Club Labor Day Parade. Crowds lining either side of Old Buckingham Road endured slightly hot weather on Monday, Sept. 2 as they sat and watched a parade that lasted more than an hour, but the overall festive atmosphere seemed to show most people thought it was worth it, said Betty Bowman, who co-chaired the parade with Kathy Ware. “We appreciate them coming out to either support the parade by being in it or one of the vendors on the Courthouse Green, and especially the spectators who came out to watch it. We look forward to having them out next year,” Bowman said.

POWHATAN – Students across the school district are getting the opportunity to wobble, perch, stand, lounge, and collaborate in their classrooms thanks to in-house flexible seating grants given to 36 teachers this year. Leading up to the start of the 2019-2020 school year, Powhatan County Public Schools re-allocated $81,000 in funds already budgeted for furniture and equipment as grant funds, said Dr. Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendent for instruction. In all, 36 teachers working at the three elementary schools and Powhatan High School were awarded grants to purchase the nontraditional

tary level to stick with the hokki stools or the furniture to help get the wiggles out,” Omohundro said. “At the high school, it was more about collaboration and being up and vertical.” The decision to offer more flexible seating across the district was influenced by two main factors. First was how successfully it has been used at Powhatan Middle School. Then, as part of participation in the Virginia is for Learners Innovation Network, staff visited schools in other jurisdictions to witness how they are implementing flexible seating within their divisions, Omohundro said. With the approval and support of Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, applications were sent out to teachers

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Planning Commission recommended approval last week of one solar farm but said another needed more work before it was ready for a final vote. During the planning commission’s

meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 3, the commissioners voted 3-1 in favor of recommending approval of Powhatan Solar I LLC’s request for a conditional use permit (CUP) for a solar energy farm. The project, which will now move forward to review by the board of supervisors, would be placed on a property along Three Bridge Road near its intersection

with Mill Mount Parkway and at the northern terminus of Brauer Road. The subject properties total approximately 927.38 acres, with the proposed use located within a project area that is approximately 350.9 acres. About 225 acres would be occupied by solar arrays. The four commissioners present also see PLANNING, pg. 4

Planning commission defers development project By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Planning Commission again deferred action on a mixed use development that proposes to build up to 249 homes in the eastern portion of Powhatan County. During the planning commission’s meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 3, the four commissioners present voted to defer the rezoning case of East West Communities, which proposes to build some commercial development and up to 249 homes on a 120-acre site on the north side of Page Road at its intersection with U.S. Route 60 (Anderson Highway) adjacent to the Chesterfield County line. This project, called the Ellis Farm Development, would include single-family detached, duplex, and townhouse dwellings. The planning commission had already deferred the case previously on Aug. 6, citing the need for more information. But the members were unwilling to make a decision on the project last week based on a change made recently by the developer. They ultimately voted unanimously to defer the case until their October meeting.

Signals Previously, the developer proposed a four-way signalized intersection at a proposed re-alignment of Page Road near the county line. This would have seen Page Road’s intersection with Anderson Highway move to the opposite side of an existing Shell Station. The developer had offered all along to pay for this road improvement, but initial word was that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) was opposed to a signalized intersection that might slow down traffic on Route 60. At the time of the August meeting, the applicant had already proceeded with a signal justification report. Green Light Solutions Inc., which completed the report, concluded that a restricted

crossing u-turn (RCUT) intersection would be the best solution, saying it accounted not only for increased traffic because of the proposed subdivision but also accommodated the future plan of access for Classic Granite on the opposite side of the highway. During the Sept. 3 meeting, VDOT representatives showed support for the RCUT option. During a public meeting on July 24 on a new multi-county study of Route 60 being conducted by VDOT, representatives had said that “innovative intersections and access management” were likely going to be the best solutions to managing increasing traffic flow on Route 60. According to VDOT, there are three main descriptions of an RCUT. It has an intersection design where all side street movements begin with a right turn. Side street left-turn and through vehicles turn right and make a U-turn at a dedicated downstream median opening to complete the desired movement. Main intersection and median U-turns can be designed as signalized, stop controlled or yield controlled. Kyle Bates, head VDOT engineer, said the RCUTs in this design would be signalized. During the meeting, the planning commissioners seemed to struggle somewhat with how this option would work. In some cases, they had only had a few hours – and at the most a few days – to review the information on RCUTs. Also at issue, part of the RCUT would be on a portion of Route 60 located in Chesterfield County. Despite assurances that Chesterfield has raised no objections and what happens in a VDOT right of way is ultimately a VDOT decision, commissioners wanted more certainty that Chesterfield leaders have no issue with this. Bill Cox, who represents District 4, said he was not comfortable with Chesterfield County landowners having no say in something that would change their access management. He didn’t want to take a “Cumberland County approach to this” to “do whatever the hell

we want, don’t involve your neighbors.” He said Chesterfield County is a stakeholder in this issue and needs to be included. Regarding concerns about cars getting stuck in U-turns, Erich Strohhacker, president of Green Light Solutions Inc., first pointed out that under current conditions, there is “an existing failure” on Page Road where cars are turning left onto Anderson Highway to go toward Chesterfield County. “It is already failing under existing conditions. Under background conditions where you project growth, approve growth, things of that nature, obviously it is even worse condition for the left turns,” he said, adding this is the case with all unsignaized intersections on Route 60. “The peak hour on U.S. 60 does not provide for side street gaps under and unsignalized operation, whether it be the inbound in the p.m. condition or the outbound in the a.m. condition. Those predominant moves rule this corridor and every other road is subject to that. Under unsignalized conditions, you cannot get out at an acceptable level of service during the peak hours,” Strohhacker said. If the Ellis Farm project were approved, a full-signalized intersection would be justified at about 40 to 50 percent of the residential build out, Strohhacker said. That would give those minor side roads priority over Route 60. The problem is, to keep traffic flowing, VDOT wants the priority to remain on keeping the highway flowing, which is why they are promoting alternative designs like an RCUT.

Next steps After the RCUT discussion, Cox spoke about issues he saw with this case and the direction he hoped the planning commission would take. He said the developer has brought “piecemeal development,” “refuses to talk about phasing of commercial and residential,” and “won’t tell us whether they are going to build townhomes or not.”

He said the application was “flawed” and “incomplete” and wanted the applicant to withdraw it, which they had declined to do. So instead of deferring or denying it, Cox wanted the application to be returned to the developer to fix several “deficiencies.” Kelly Kemp, assistant county attorney, said the planning commission is only allowed to recommend approval or denial or defer the application according to the Code of Virginia. Cox argued that he reads the state code differently. The planning commission only has 100 days to review the application, at which point it has to move it on to the board of supervisors, Chair Karin Carmack, District 1, said. She and the other commissioners agreed to hold another public hearing and re-advertise it. Chris Shust with Balzer and Associates spoke for the developers, saying that they have “worked in earnest to provide a solution to the transportation improvement that is in line with what VDOT is going to be asking for.” Based on the merits of the rest of the project, they are asking why is the county not endorsing this and “saying yes to the potential for an additional 3 cents in tax revenue, an additional … $3 million in revenue from new house connections, the environmental sensitivity that this case is bringing forward, and the fact that we are proposing to do road improvements on the developer’s dime,” he asked. The merits of the project speak for themselves, Shust said. He added that if the planning commission wasn’t comfortable, they could make a final decision and the developer would “let the chips fall where they may.” Carmack said it is the commissioners’ jobs to give a completed project with good information to the board of supervisors, “whether we like it or not.” They decided to defer it until October so they could have time to defer it again until November if they had more questions before the 100 days is up.

Resident running to commemorate 9/11 By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – Local resident Russ Holland Jr. will commemorate the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, and run to raise funds for local fire and rescue personnel in an event being held today. Holland intends to run 343 laps (85 miles) throughout the day on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at Powhatan High School. Each of the 343 laps will

represent a New York Fire Department first responder who died on 9/11. In conjunction with this run, Holland is fundraising for Powhatan Fire and Rescue. Holland said he will start running around 12:01 a.m. and estimates he will finish at about 6 p.m., or around 18 hours. “It's really hard to predict. If something goes wrong there could be quite a bit of walking, but I do a lot of distance running so hope-

fully that won't happen,” he said. During the day, students in gym classes are expected to come out and do laps with him as well as it being a club activity for the cross country team, Holland said. He is inviting people from the community to come out and watch or even participate at different parts of the day. “We want to encourage people to run with me as much as they want. Our

Second solar farm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sloan said there is a potential for a second standalone solar facility on the property that would not be considered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;second phase.â&#x20AC;? Cox said that looked like a way to get around the concerns of having a larger solar farm. Sloan said it is unlikely a second project could work there but they will not get a study to know if the project is workable from Dominion until late 2020. He would not agree to a condition to prohibit building a second solar farm. Chair Karin Carmack, District 1, had previously recommended forming a conservation and recreation foundation that could potentially capture revenue and receive land donations meant to bolster open space and parks and recreation in the county. If that happens, Sloan said the company would work with the county to participate.

voted unanimously to defer a request for a CUP from HCE Powhatan Solar I with the reasoning that they wanted more specificity in how the project would be laid out and run. The proposed project would be on Old Buckingham Road at its intersection with Spoonbill Drive (private road). The subject property totals approximately 89.52 acres, with the proposed use located within a project area of about 45 acres.

Powhatan Solar I LLC Parker Sloan represented Cypress Creek Renewables with a presentation on its proposed solar farm along Three Bridge Road. The proposed project would reach a maximum capacity of 18 megawatts. If approved, construction would begin in late 2020 and would be expected to last six to 10 months, he said. After construction if finished, the company expects to generate one vehicle per month in terms of traffic trips to the facility. Sloan discussed several benefits of the project: $25,000 in revenue in the first year and $1.3 million over the life of the facility and 200-foot stream and wetland setbacks that will promote wildlife and water quality. A big discussion topic was the visibility of the arrays from Three Bridge Road. The project consists of about 12,000 feet (2.25 miles) of frontage along Three Bridge Road. The projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200-foot

buffer would include 75 feet of existing trees; 50 feet of planted evergreens and shrubs; a meadow; a fence, and an access road between the solar arrays and Three Bridge Road, Sloan said. However, the evergreens and shrubs will take a few years to mature, so the project may be visible in places. Bill Cox, who represents District 4, said the planning commission needs to be clearer about sticking to the standard of not having a solar project visible from the road. David Van Gelder, District 5, posed the idea of giving the project a â&#x20AC;&#x153;reasonable timeframeâ&#x20AC;? to meet that standard if they are making a concerted effort to limit the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visibility. Cox disagreed but others seemed to be OK with the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;good faith effortâ&#x20AC;? to limit visibility. Three people also spoke during a public hearing to voice concerns about heat and light from the solar panels, the condition of Brauer Road, the decommissioning guarantee, and property values. Some of the other issues discussed were: Construction traffic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the applicant proposed restricting access to construction traffic to an entrance on Brauer Road so they were not going directly onto Three Bridge Road. The company agreed to a $200,000 bond in case of the need for road maintenance on public roads. Decommissioning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Concerns were raised about what would happen to the solar farm if Cypress

HCE Powhatan Solar I Stephen Young, solar development manager for Holocene Clean Energy, said HCE Powhatan Solar would be a small-scale, 5 megawatt project that would involve 23.5 acres of fenced in area but only 8.2 acres of solar arrays. Holocene has an interconnect agreement with Southside Electric for the power.

Two people spoke during the public hearing asking about the entranceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location on Old Buckingham Road; the affect on wildlife and hunting in the area to have this fenced in area, and the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proximity to one property ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land. The main topic of discussion on this case was about the entrance and roadway location. Young said VDOT will nail down the safest and best location for the access points. The planning commissioners did not like the lack of detail and specificity for a final project layout. Van Gelder told Young it is up to the developer to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sellâ&#x20AC;? them on the project and answer their questions and there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough specificity for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not up to us to demonstrate how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all going to work,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cox also had questions about having a battery energy storage system on the property and its safety measures. Young assured the commissioners it will meet the standards laid out by the National Fire Protection Association. Regarding visibility, Cox said this companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned buffers using existing vegetation â&#x20AC;&#x153;probably provides the best barrier we have seen from a road.â&#x20AC;? At this point, Van Gelder again raised his concerns about the lack of specificity and the planning commission voted to defer the case until its October meeting.

across the division and then reviewed to determine how to meet as many needs as possible within the allocated funds, Omohundro said. Teachers at all levels have long brought in items of their own that they picked up at flea markets or yard sales or wanted to purchase for their classrooms, said Dr. Jason Tibbs, director of facilities. “They are excited about having these different types of setups in their classrooms. What it is going to do is bring more energy to the classroom environment, and kids are going to be more excited because they will have more selections in their seating options instead of a standard desk and chair,” Tibbs said. Lauren Ayers and Ebony Fleming co-teach a collaborative third grade class at Flat Rock that is a mix of children with disabilities and ones on the general curriculum without disabilities. They have noticed that all of their students like to have different choices of seating and especially like ones that allow them to move, such as hokki stools or sit-stand desks.

The teachers requested rocking chairs that sit directly on the floor but have a desk attached so students can work. They also really wanted to add a collaborative table so they could both have groups working separately at the same time without one of them on the floor. “They are very active. They have a lot of energy. I feel like in our class we do a lot of groups and we do a lot of independent work or group work where we let them sit anywhere in the room they want. With this seating, they are easy to move. The desks have wheels. The stools are light and easy to carry,” Ayers said. Third grade also represents a huge jump in instruction and having to sit and listen to longer lessons at a time, Fleming added. The new flexible seating options allow the movement they need to make it through the instruction without being disruptive. Flexible seating is all about giving students the opportunity to choose what works for them, said Ellen Valcourt, a kindergarten teacher at Flat Rock. At 4 and 5 years old, they may

not realize it, but the students are choosing options that provide the ability to move, stimulate their senses or are just more comfortable. She had been given hokki stools before and added “mushroom stools” and lean back chairs with lap trays through the grant. “As an adult, I don’t like sitting in a chair all day long. So having these opportunities where the students can move, I think their attention is definitely something that I have seen improve. I have also seen just a more calming effect,” Valcourt said. Nadia Hassan, a Spanish teacher at PHS, saw the flexible seating grant as a great opportunity to get rid of all of the desks in her classroom and have a place besides chairs to continue to work. She still kept a few regular desks and has traditional seats for lectures with clip boards so they could take notes.

Other highlights included the parade’s first grand marshal, retired Powhatan deputy Adam Sadler, and the unveiling of Betsy Blandford as the 2019 Powhatan Christmas Mother. Blandford said being in the parade was one of the most fun things she has ever done in her life. She wore a Christmas-themed tiara and rode in a convertible driven by outgoing Christmas Father Larry Lyons. “I was so welcomed by so many people along the way. I got to see friends. I got to see children waving. There was just a great deal of enthusiasm along the entire parade route,” she said. “I think it starts my year off on a very positive note.” Native Powhatan resident Jessica Culver said the parade is a lifelong tradition for her and now she

is experiencing it with her family – husband, Keaton, and daughters, Eloise, 2, and Blakely, 5 months. The parade is a great way to end the summer and they always follow it with a family cookout. On the way to the parade, Culver said she wanted to see some goats, so she was pleased to see one of the 4-H groups toward the end of the parade had a few goats. The highlight for Eloise was the candy given out by the parade participants. “This is her third year coming. Last year she could remember a little bit. This year was her first year being able to really understand what the parade was. She has a book bag full of candy and she could not keep her eyes out of her book bag because she was amazed at all the candy,” Culver said. Bertha Walker of Powhatan attended the parade for a second time and this year actually walked in it with a local political candidate. She said her favorite part was handing out candy to the children and then walking around the

Hans Bauer remarked on how amazing it was to see entries such as the school groups, motorcycle club, car clubs, and Powhatan High School Marching Band. His wife loved seeing all of the participation by the fire and rescue personnel. Parades of this size in Heidelberg are usually only used to mark major milestones, perhaps happening every 50 years, so to have this every year is a wonderful feat of organization and community spirit, he said. “This parade was so big and so nice. I was so happy that I could see this parade. This is a big, big family party,” Hans Bauer said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Labor Day Parade doesn’t fail to deliver fun By Laura McFarland Editor

owhatan County outdid itself on Labor Day. This year marks my sixth year covering the bi-annual parades that fill the Village area on Labor Day and at Christmastime. As long as the weather of the day doesn’t try to steal the show, these annual traditions are always good for a fun morning or afternoon outdoors enjoying what the Powhatan community has to offer. For the 2019 parade and vendor fair on the Courthouse Green, the Powhatan community outdid itself. As far as I know, there is never an official count of how many people come out for the parade, but I would guess it is at least a few thousand between the parade participants and the spectators. Anyone who sat through the full parade this year knows it was a long one. There were 73 parade entries that included local nonprofits, civic organizations, businesses, school groups, youth organizations, fire and rescue personnel, county employees, churches, car clubs, motorcycle clubs, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, pageant winners, and political candidates. For those of you who didn’t catch it, organizers did something new by asking entrants to embrace a theme – “We love Powhatan because …” In particular, the parade this year was aimed at showing appreciation to all

Palmore and Colton Vosburg. These young men were continually hard at work for the last nine years to complete their Eagle Scout requirements before their 18th birthdays. All these gentlemen started their scouting career as Cub Scouts at the age of 6 or 7; most of them began under the leadership of Allen and Susanna Dodd and Scott McLevain out of Pack 1832. These boys then crossed over to Boy Scouts in Troop 832, which is sponsored by St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Powhatan. They started their Eagle journey there in the spring of their fifth grade school year around the age of 10. They succeeded in this achievement with the support of their parents; the leadership of their Scoutmaster Jeff Morris, and guidance of many assistant scout masters (ASM), such as Richard Helms, Cindy Morris, Brian Long, John Bailey, Michael Solzbach and Tony Hackenberg to name but a few. These men and women dedicated countless volunteer hours to these and many more boys through the scouting program. This troop alone has guided 68 Eagles into flight since 1995. Out of 100 boys worldwide who join scouting only four of those 100 boys will earn the highest rank of Eagle Scout. Powhatan’s Class of 2019 has 11 Eagle Scouts in one graduating class! Scouting focuses on enriching the lives of youth through education, service, adventure and leadership. To earn the rank of Eagle Scout, 13 mandatory eagle merit badges and a minimal of eight elective merit badges must be completed. They must also complete yearly volunteer services hours in their community; leadership in their troop; embark on hikes, camp-

school employees, both public and private. The schools didn’t fail to represent. Several schools had large contingents of faculty, staff and students on individual floats. The Powhatan High School Marching Band put on a wonderful show as well. Then you had the students of all ages being highlighted for their talents in theater, music, sports, cheerleading, agriculture, and animal care. New Christmas Mother Betsy Blandford wore a gorgeous Christmas tree tiara and lived up to her moniker, The Queen, as she waved to the crowds and blew kisses. I was delighted to see the crowds give due honor to the grand marshal, retired Powhatan chief deputy Adam Sadler, who served the community for almost 26 years. He received a standing ovation near the announcer’s table, which was a fitting tribute for his years of service. There were some great reminders of the importance of doing our civic duty. The Powhatan Complete Count Committee had a float in the parade to promote its efforts of getting the word out about the 2020 Census. The Powhatan County Registrar’s Office had a table on the Courthouse Green so people could register to vote or be reminded to do it before the voter registration deadline on Tuesday, Oct. 15. And if that wasn’t enough, there were 17 parade entries and numerous booths on the Courthouse Green to promote the political parties and candidates for local and state elections. And talking about the parade would not be complete

ing, boating, skiing, and climbing trips, as well as participating in hands-on enrichment tasks and activities, all while learning skills to move up through the seven ranks. In order to complete the merit badges the scouts read, comprehend, demonstrate and put into practice the requirements of that badge before sitting with their merit badge counselor to show that they understand the skill. These skills include emergency preparedness, first aid, survival, cooking, archery, electronics, swimming, personal fitness, automobile maintenance to personal management, communication, disability awareness, family life, sustainability, citizenship in the community, nation, and the world, to name a few from the 144 possible merit badges. The future Eagle Scout must also solely develop, fundraise and present to the board a project that will benefit a nonprofit organization or person(s) in need. They become the project manager, supervisor and worker on the job until completion. These Eagle Scouts not only completed all of these learned skills and rank accomplishments in the last 10-11 years of scouting, they were also studying for their honors and AP classes in school; participating in extracurricular activities such as sports or band at Powhatan High School; as well as being involved citizens in their community, churches, places of employment, and spending time with their family and friends. The following 11 PHS Class of 2019 graduates distinguished themselves by becoming Eagle Scouts: Pierce Bailey: Son of John and Preston Bailey. Bailey started scouting as a Tiger Scout in first grade in Pack 1832 out of St. John Neumann Catholic

Church. He built a ball pit for the youth at Passion Community Church in Powhatan. He played the trombone for six years in the PHS band, attended summer mission trips, and helped lead the youth group at his church while working at Acres of Fun Kennel. Bailey earned an associate’s degree in science from J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College while attending PHS and is attending Liberty University majoring in exercise science in hopes of becoming a physical therapist. Cole M. Burton: Son of David and Andrea Burton. Burton joined scouting as a Webelo I at the age of 11. His Eagle Scout project was the design and fabrication of an outdoor work station located outside of Mike Walter Sport Facility and the Black Hawk Gym to benefit the wrestling club and the community that supports and collaborates with the Powhatan High School wrestling program. Burton wrestled on the PHS wrestling team and played lacrosse for four years. He started at Warriors Way Martial Arts when he was 4 years old, earned his 4th degree black belt and continued to work there for the last five years. Burton was honored with the Governor and Board of Education seal with honors and advanced studies diploma at Powhatan High School, graduating 10th in his class. He was in the math and science honor societies and graduated with an associate’s degree in science from J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College in May 2019. Burton is attending Virginia Tech majoring in aerospace engineering. Noah Chandler: Son of Tom and Emily Chandler.

without giving a huge shout-out to the Powhatan Lions Club, which sponsors the parade. Between the parade and the vendor event, there were 39 Lions working to make the day a success, whether it was handling the participant signups, checking people in, directing traffic, setting up, or taking down, they did an amazing amount of work to make the day such a treat for everyone. It’s funny – when I interview people after the parade for the story I always write about the event, I usually ask them if they had a favorite part of the event. But because I am so focused on getting good photos and making sure the livestream is working properly (it didn’t, my phone overheated halfway through the parade and we lost some content) I never just sit back and think about my favorite part. So now I am. And while it may seem cliché, as much as I love the razzle dazzle of the actual parade, I most enjoy walking along the parade route and around the Courthouse Green before and after. During that time, I get the opportunity to meet new people and see those I have come to know in the last five-plus years of covering stories in Powhatan County. It’s like a condensed revision of my time with the newspaper and always serves as a good reminder of why I love being the editor of the Powhatan Today.

Powhatan opens 2019 season Pinnell breaks school FG record, Matoaca edges Indians 9-6 in OT By Billy Fellin Correspondent

P ANJIE KAY/FOR THE POWHATAN TODAY

Powhatan senior Mason Pinnell (7) kicks for a field goal in the Indians’ 2019 season opener versus Matoaca on Sept. 6, 2019.

OWHATAN - Powhatan Football’s 2019 season opener was a defensive struggle as the hosting Indians and the visiting Matoaca Warriors battled for field position, and points were at a premium. Unfortunately for the Indians, the Warriors outlasted Powhatan 9-6 on a game-winning field goal in overtime. “It was an extremely hard fought game,” said Powhatan coach Mike Henderson. “It was backand-forth the whole game. Both teams feel like they left a lot of opportunities on the field. Great see FOOTBALL, pg. 6B

YMCA gets new head swim coach

Sierra Ellison set to play Div. I Women’s Volleyball

Sports Editor

OWHATAN – It wasn’t about how their swims went. Jennifer Kantanen back then told her Clarksville YMCA swimmers that, when they got out of the water after races, she wanted to see smiles on their faces. “Because you know why? You got there, you did it, you made it happen,” Kantanen would tell them. And then, where they were KANTANEN at swim meets, her philosophy was: “When you get nervous on the block, there’s no reason to be nervous. You’ve already put the work in… you’ve done all your work at the practices. This is where you get to go and show off and have fun! “And that’s what a swim meet’s about,” Kantanen said. “It’s not about competition/‘Oh my gosh I need to beat that person!’ It’s about going in there, taking everything you’ve learned, applying it and having a good time while doing it, and just doing your best and having pride in doing your best.” With that approach, Kantanen is now leading the Powhatan YMCA swim team – which began its season Monday, Sept. 9 – as the new head swim coach. “I love the small-town feeling; everyone is super friendly,” said Kantanen, who has lived in Powhatan for a year. “I definitely feel like there is a sense of southern hospitality within the community.” That’s especially something she’s experienced at the YMCA’s. “For me, being someone that’s moved

Powhatan sweeps Cosby in 3 sets

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

OWHATAN – Bryson Amorese had already established her presence on the court. The versatile sophomore setter was in the back getting the first touches to keep several incoming Cosby attacks afloat. She was also in the middle setting up attacks for her Powhatan teammates around her. But five-foot-four Amorese made a play for the highlight reel up front at the net. She tipped an incoming ball across the top part, and the Cosby defender right in front of her went to block it back over… …but instead pushed the ball further into the netting… …thus securing match point and NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY a 25-22 second set for the Powhatan Indians.

versus the Titans on Sept. 3, 2019. Powhatan won 3-0.

OWHATAN – “It feels like a dream, honestly.” Sierra Ellison didn’t believe it when they offered her a spot on their volleyball team. “I was like: Pinch me, because this is not real,” she said with a smile, because the school she’ll be playing for – DePaul University in Chicago – has been her dream school since Day 1. “It was the first one I looked at, the first college that I visited, did a camp for,” Ellison said, “and I love their coaching and their players.” What feels like a dream is on track to becoming reality in less than a year, as the six-foot standout from Powhatan High School has committed to attending DePaul – and to playing Division I volleyball. Ellison originally played softball when she younger, but when she was in fifth grade, she started playing beach volleyball, with her dad teaching her the game. She did one camp with Richmond Volleyball Club – which she’s been part of for five years now – before trying out for the middle school team. From there, Ellison’s gone on to make the varsity All-Region team twice, and she helped her Powhatan Indians win the Jefferson District during her high school career. At the club level, she’s been on the RVC’s national team, and she contributed to a couple first places in tournaments. Her most recent assistant coach from club, Clark Menger, has taught her so many life lessons. “On and off the court, he is very psychological about the game of volleyball and basically a walking encyclopedia,” Ellison said smiling, “and he will talk to you forsee ELLISON, pg. 6B

BSH opens 2019 vs. King & Queen Central By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor KING & QUEEN COURTHOUSE – After the final buzzer sounded, the opponents exchanged high-fives along the 50-yard line, the two teams split off to the opposing end zones, and coaches Gary Brock of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot and Kenny Waters of King & Queen shared an embrace as Brock congratulated Waters.

But the Knights didn’t go empty-handed in the fourth quarter, as Dominic Falchi had defenders hanging on to him while he muscled across the goal line from 15 yards out. “We showed a lot of heart there at the end when we drove down and just decided: ‘Hey, we’re gonna score before this game is finished,’ so I’m real proud of my kids there,’” Brock said, adding: “We’re gonna experience some growing pains this year, and this is one of them.” According to VHSL-Reference.com, the Royal Tigers’ victory on Aug. 30 was their first time winning their seasonopener since they beat West Point 34-0 on Sept. 3, 2004. Brock is proud of Coach Waters – whom he coached both in baseball and in football – and his Knights, he added, have some work to do. “We’ve got a ways to go,” Brock said. “We’ll saddle up and get back to work…and go from there.”

Knights battle to the end in defeat vs. Fuqua By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - On a night where very little went right for them through the first three quarters, the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights made sure not to leave Friday’s tough loss without taking a few positives with them from the fourth. The first was an incendiary 43-yard touchdown run unleashed by Dominic Falchi. The second was a red zone pass that Chase Musselman - who stepped up in place of Trevor Parker at the quarterback position - floated to Nick Dawson in the right corner of the end zone. And the third was a fumble that the Knights recovered on the ensuing kickoff to ensure they finished Friday’s 5014 setback to Fuqua with the ball in their possession. The Knights didn’t quit, BSH coach Gary Brock told his players after the game. “It wasn’t exactly what we envisioned,” Brock said. “We played a good team tonight, and they

showed us what it was all about - what we want to attain, that type-quality. “I was proud of the kids - we’re in shape,” Brock said. “We’re just so young in some spots, and without Trevor in the lineup, that made a big difference.” Parker, who bruised his hip in the Knights’ Aug. 30 opener at King & Queen Central, only played a couple snaps on Sept. 6 versus Fuqua when he held for extra points. “We said [to Trevor]: ‘Dress up; we need your leadership on on the sideline and we need you to hold for extra points and field goals if you can,’” Brock said. “Just having him on the sideline was good.” Brock added his hope that Parker will be back in full this weekend versus Broadwater Academy. After the Knights’ offense struggled with turnovers and with pushing the ball down field, Musselman at the end of the game tapped into a rhythm under center, hitting multiple receivers - including Zan-

der Nadeau and Ben Newton - to move the chains through the air before finding Dawson in the end zone for the TD pass with mere seconds left on the clock. “He got a little bit more confidence there at the end,” Brock said of Musselman. “Without any preparation really except for this week, he did a decent job, really did...he stayed in there, hung in there and at the end of the ballgame, I think he felt real comfortable.” Jack Hatfield on defense made a couple of big tackles in the game for BSH - one to force fourth down in the first quarter, and another for a loss of yards in the second. But early in the game, the Knights - in addition to turning the ball over and setting up short fields for Fuqua - missed several tackles, and the visitors took advantage, carving up chunks of yardage and adding points to the scoreboard. Fuqua led 30-0 at halftime with the help of three touchdowns engineered by versatile Elijah

Warner. From the pocket, he threw a 12-yard TD pass to Jaylen Hempfield along the right side and a 4th-down-converting 4-yarder to Luke Gee across the goal line. On special teams, Warner took a punt return all the way to the house from near his team’s own 40yard line. Hempfield also raced the ball to the end zone on the second half kickoff, and Warner tacked on a 6-yard run across the goal line. Hayes Barton’s 5 yard rushing TD gave Fuqua a 50-0 lead before BSH responded in the fourth to prevent the shutout. “We faced a good team; we right now are a team that is young and doesn’t tackle well in space, and as a result, we had it exploited last week and had it exploited this week, and he’s got some really good playmakers on that ball club,” Brock said. “From that angle, we’ve just got to keep working on tackling and try to get this line that we’ve got... more experience.”

Dominic Falchi (right) unleashes a 43-yard touchdown run that saw him swing to the left edge before cutting to the inside, evading tacklers and dashing the rest of the way up the middle and to the end zone late in his BSH Knights’ Sept. 6 home game versus Fuqua.

The Knights (0-2) will look to bounce-back with a home game against Broadwater Academy. The game was supposed to be played as their season opener on Aug. 23, but was moved by weather to this coming Friday. Brock pointed out a few outstanding players on Broadwater’s team:

their quarterback, their quick running back who is also a home-run threat in the kick return game, and a 6-6 tight end who last year hurt the Knights on multiple big plays. Brock has observed that Broadwater runs a lot of screens and sprint out passes. Game time is Friday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m.

Powhatan Today, September 11, 2019

NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY

The runners begin the 2019 Powhatan Village Run near the Powhatan YMCA on Saturday, Aug. 31.

Sunny weather, close finish among highlights Burcham overall winner, Penfield top female finisher in Powhatan Village Run By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Kevin Burcham and Mason McElroy were running close together in the last mile-and-a-half, staying within a few seconds of each other. “I kept looking back every now and then to take a peek and there he was,” Burcham said of McElroy. “He definitely kept me going – I didn’t know if he was gonna catch me or if he had a kick at the end or not. But it was definitely on to the finish.” And after they rounded that last corner, still close together, Burcham raised his arms in victory and burst through the finish-line tape ahead of McElroy to win the 2019 Powhatan Village Run by a narrow margin of 1.70 seconds. “It was fun,” Burcham said. “We were right at about the same pace almost the entire race.” It was definitely one of the closest finishes – especially when it came to winning a race – for Burcham, who coaches the Sports Backers Marathon Training Team in Richmond, has been running for over 17 years and was competing in his first-ever Powhatan Village Run. He and runners of all ages enjoyed some of the best weather that the 4-miler has featured in years, as a clear, sunny sky complemented mild morning temperatures. Burcham complimented the Village Run’s course, which started near and finished at the Powhatan YMCA and took runners along surrounding streets and onto the trail in Fighting Creek Park. “Coming out and going through some neighborhoods, it was people out cheering in the neighborhoods with their dogs,” Burcham described. “It was wellmarked, it’s well-organized, the law enforcement’s out at all the streets. It was nice. “This is definitely a well-organized race and I’ll be back,” Burcham said. “I’ll come back next year. I enjoyed this.” Burcham’s winning time was 26:13.16. McElroy was the overall runner-up, as well as the first-place finisher in the male 30-34 division, with a 26:14.86. Joanna Penfield was the overall top female runner with a winning time of 30:11.80. Harry Conn repeated as the first-place winner of the 80-plus division. Donna Schultz, who finished second in the female 55-59 division with a 40.49.96, ran the race carrying the American Flag in recognition of the men and women of the United States Armed Services – honoring those alive and remembering those who have passed on – as well as in recognition of Powhatan’s first responders and Sheriff’s Department. Village Run organizers awarded a plaque – given in memory of Powhatan Deputy Robbie Green who tragically passed away in an automobile accident while serving in the line of duty as Deputy Sheriff in 2006 – to the Powhatan Sheriff’s Department, who, along with the Powhatan Volunteer Rescue Squad, have been helping with the Village Run for the last 30-plus years. The first Powhatan male in the Powhatan Village Run was Hank Cosby, who was also first in the Male 40-44 division and completed the Village Run as the

third highest overall finisher with a 27:34.80. The first Powhatan female in the Powhatan Village Run was Alyssa Gorman, who was also first in the Female 1-14 division and completed the Village Run as the second highest overall female finisher with a 34:19.97.

defense out there. We feel like we stopped ourselves on offense, but you have to give Matoaca credit, they made plays when they needed to.” The Indians’ offense found success in spurts against the Warriors’ defenders. Quarterback Hans Rehme connected with Jaysun Carroll throughout the game for double-digit gains and running back Mitchell Johnson found gaps where he was able to reel off a few 20-yard runs. But, as Henderson said, the Indians stopped themselves with issues like dropped passes and penalties that brought drives to a halt. “We have to execute better offensively,” Henderson said. “We’re close. I’m excited about the things that we’re doing...some things we can fix, but we have to fix it soon.” Henderson noted the overall youth of the offense. “We’re starting zero seniors on offense,” he said. “We’re starting seven on defense. We dropped some passes. We overthrow an open guy and the next time we put it right on him and he drops it. We just can’t be doing those things.” The first points of the game were delivered in record-setting fashion as Mason Pinnell drilled a 46-yard field goal in the second quarter to make it a 3-0 Indians lead. The kick from the senior set a new school record, eclipsing the previous mark of 41 yards set in 1996. “He did a great job,” Henderson said. “It was a great performance. We have a great weapon there.” The lead would stand until Matoaca’s first possession of the second half. The Warriors marched down the field and scored on a 14-yard run by Daquan Vann. The extra point failed,

around, the Y has been a place that I’ve always known that I can go to and connect and make friends and feel at home.” Kantanen said she loves doing something for the community, and the YMCA swim team, she pointed out, offers the best of two worlds: “you can have a competitive spirit…but it’s also just about being a community and inclusion – everyone’s welcome at all different ability levels.” Kantanen grew up in San Diego, swimming competitively since she was little. She competed both in swimming and in water polo, and eventually she got into open water swimming. She’s currently an open-water Ultra Marathon Swimmer, meaning she’s competed in swims matching or exceeding 6 miles in length. Her longest swim was the 12.5 mile swim around the island of Key West, Florida, and among the numerous triathlons, aquathlons and open-water swim races she’s competed in, the Key West race ranks among her two favorites, along with the 5-mile swim she took on at South Carolina’s Charleston Harbor. She’s called a vast range of communities her home. She, her husband Dennis, who is a U.S. Army Officer, and their family have moved to different duty stations across the United States. On the coaching side, she started off as a USA Swimming Assistant Coach for Thunderbolt Aquatics in Kentucky; her kids were on the team, she herself had a past background with swimming and she had an enthusiasm for swimming. From there, Kantanen started doing more training and learning on the coaching side of the sport, and she was eventually able to take the skills she developed to the head coaching position of The Clarksville YMCA Swim Team in Tennessee. “That’s when I really learned about my passion in swimming,” she said. “I had a lot of fun connecting with the kids.” She took the helm of a Barracudas team she described as having less than 10 kids to start out; under her leadership, the team not only swelled to a 60-swimmer program, but it also went on to place first at The YMCA of Middle Tennessee Championships three seasons in a row. There’s a poetic parallel to the team that Kantanen is now leading, as the Powhatan YMCA team – also the Barracudas – grew from 22 swimmers to 87 in less than three years under the coaching of 21-year-old Jessie Hevener, who after the conclusion of the summer championship position bade farewell to her post and to the team to pursue dual degrees in Chemistry and Exercise Science and a fall internship to complete her Exercise Science degree at VCU. Kantanen said she’s not hoping to come in, change, do or be better, or any of those different things; she’s just hoping to ensure that the Powhatan Barracudas, who have blossomed under beloved Coach Hevener’s leadership, continue to flourish with the help of the skill set that Kantanen looks to bring to the program. Kantanen is a Level II U.S. Masters Swim Coach, an American Swimming Coaches Association Certified International Master Swim Coach and a U.S. Masters Certified Stroke Clinician. She’s been trained with USA Swimming to work with children who face cognitive and physical limitations, and she’s also trained adults in a variety of abilities and towards a range of goals, from helping individuals strive to overcome their fear of water to working with championship-level Ironman Triathletes. In the past Kantanen was really active with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and was also a coach for Girls on the Run, a nonprofit organization that combines training girls ages 8 to 13 to complete a 5K running event with building their self-esteem. “It’s where I kind of started to really connect with kids – and realizing how important it is to build up their self-esteem,” Kantanen said. “I found working for the Y gave me the opportunity to do swimming, but also mentor and coach and build up self-esteem, so I got to combine all that together.” In reflecting on how the Clarksville YMCA swim team “went from a team that nobody of” to a team that won championships three years in a row, Kantanen believes that it was a matter of just letting the kids know that they are capable. “You give them the skills,” she said, “and then you encourage them to just do the best they can…to feel great about themselves.” Swimming competitively, Kantanen believes, provides developing children an opportunity to test their individual abilities and achieve personal wins throughout the season. “It doesn’t matter if it is taking first in a heat, a drop in their time by mere seconds or finally doing their first flip turn – they are all wins,” Kantanen said. “The bonus is doing this within a supportive team environment.” She’s really big on the team members, younger and older, partnering up together and encouraging one another – and she’s looking forward to watching the kids on the side deck cheer their teammates on.

ever about the game of volleyball.” Clark, from Powhatan, is also the father of St. Catherine’s standout setter Quinn Menger, who is also Ellison’s best friend. “She is the best volleyball player I know,” Ellison said of Menger. Ellison is also friends with Claire Ellis, a standout Libero who also plays for St. Catherine’s. Ellison always looks to Ellis when she’s thinking about defense “because her defense is absolutely amazing.” Ellison likes the nonstop moving

keeping Matoca’s lead to 6-3. Vann’s effort was the only touchdown scored by either team in the game. Outside of the touchdown drive, Powhatan’s defense was extremely stout on the night. The Indians held Matoaca quarterback Marcus Dreher in check, sacking him several times. Powhatan also recovered two Warriors fumbles. “They played terrific,” Henderson said. “I’m proud of them and they did what I expected them to do.” Following the touchdown, the teams traded possessions prior to Pinnell hitting his second field goal of the night, this one from 37 yards. His kick tied the game at 6-6. Matoaca then had the first chance to edge ahead on the next possession, but missed a 20 yard field goal wide right. The Indians had the next chance as a deep drive into the Warriors’ territory ended in a field goal attempt. But a bobbled snap threw off the timing of the play, and the kick was unsuccessful with 1:25 remaining in regulation. In overtime, the Indians had the

first crack at the end zone, but a sack and back-to-back incomplete passes forced Powhatan to send Pinnell out again, this time from 35 yards. But the kick was partially blocked on its way to the uprights, and the ball fell to the turf. The Warriors went 0-for-3 on their attempts to score, but were able to convert the game-winning field goal from 26 yards out to win it. The Indians will return to action on Friday, Sept. 13 (7:30 p.m.) at home against George Wythe. Friday’s game will feature a stadium dedication honoring Jim Woodson, who retired at the end of last season after leading the Powhatan Indians as head football coach for 34 years. Henderson said that cleaning up the inconsistencies and issues the Indians had against the Warriors will be the focus of the upcoming week prior to their matchup against the Bulldogs. “It has to be execution,” Henderson said. “It’s the little things that have to be better.”

of volleyball; she focuses on consistency when she’s on the court, and she brings power and height to the outside hitter position. She’s also a reliable defender, able to go low and extend for incoming shots in order to keep points alive. She made 8 digs on Tuesday in Powhatan’s 3-0 sweep of Cosby. She’s been told that college coaches don’t just look at your ability to hit down as hard as you can – you also have to be able to play defense and serve-receive – so having that wellroundedness as a player is very important to Ellison. The Powhatan senior is choosing DePaul for more than athletics. She’s

looking to major in film, and according to an Aug. 16, 2018 report from The Hollywood Reporter, DePaul is ranked 13th among the top 25 film schools in America. Ellison also based her decision around wanting to be near a city in which she can find a job right out of college – as well as around the strong number of internship opportunities available. And Lincoln Park, where DePaul’s main campus is located, is “beautiful,” Ellison described – “absolutely gorgeous.” Her dream job is to be a director, but if she finds out she doesn’t want to do that, then working in the marketing aspect of movies is also among her interests.

thrilling 3-0 sweep (26-24, 25-22, 25-19) of historic power Cosby. “It was really exciting, especially to take them in three sets,” Amorese said. “That was really exciting to do, because we knew they were gonna be some competition.” The keynote triumph also had Powhatan coach Cindy Bryant excited. “This was a huge one,” Bryant said, pointing to Cosby Girls Volleyball’s strong history. “To come in and take them in three tonight was super…I’m super proud of all of them, great team effort.” Over the prior weekend during the Virginia Volleyball Showcase at Richmond Volleyball Club, Powhatan in its last match made what Bryant said was a tough decision to try a 5-1 rotation – five hitters and one setter – as opposed to the 6-2 setup that the team had been primarily using. It paid off, helping Powhatan get a 2-0 win over Midlothian in the invitational. The Indians again employed the 5-1 scheme in their first two sets on Tuesday against Cosby, with Amorese at the setter spot, and the Indians clawed their way past the Titans utilizing the formation before returning to the 6-2

look to take advantage of the Indians’ team depth in the third and final set. Amorese throughout the match smoothly shifted roles between defender and setter. She complemented her 22 assists with 8 digs. “It’s definitely hard at the beginning,” Amorese said of transitioning between roles. “But then you kind of get into the rhythm, with your other players, too, of: ‘Who’s gonna get the next ball?’” Six-foot power hitter Sierra Ellison, who the previous week committed to DePaul, launched the ball with a cannon of an arm for a team-leading 14 kills on Tuesday. She also went low and had wide reach to make several big

digs – 8 in total - to keep points alive. Middle force Star Bryant tallied up 10 kills as she hit a couple of airballs so hard that they ricocheted off of defenders; she also lasered a couple of blocked comebackers across the hardwood for no-doubt winners. Tennis standout McKenna Adams was yet another force in the back for Powhatan; she made three digs, and her passing was on point Tuesday night according to her coach. While 5-11 sophomore middle blocker Nina Marsho didn’t have a large quantity of blocks, the ones she did make went a very long way. Reaching up in time on two incom-

ing darts, she batted down the two shots on back-toback plays at the net. The first set up match point. The second won Powhatan that first set by a nail-biting score of 26-24. That narrow openingset victory marked a huge shift in momentum for the Indians as they overcame a slow start that saw them trailing Cosby as far down as 14-8. “They were able to rein it in and hunker down and get the job done,” Coach Bryant said. “I’m proud of them.” Powhatan returned to the court on Monday with a road match at Hanover before hosting Monacan on Tuesday.
