Middle school earns VSBA Platinum Design Award By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Virginia School Boards Association last week recognized Powhatan Middle School with its highest level of architectural design award. Four architectural projects were recognized during the Virginia School Boards Association’s (VSBA) annual convention held last week in Williamsburg, including the Platinum Design Award given to Moseley Architects for its work on the middle school. The Powhatan project was the only one to receive a platinum award this year. VSBA is a voluntary, nonpartisan organization of Virginia school boards that promotes excellence in public education through advocacy, training and services. The association offers conferences, information, training, and counseling designed to meet the needs of the Com-

Checks arrive for teachers, programs By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – They never doubted it was coming, but it’s nice to have the checks in hand. And if the checks happen to be a few feet long, that’s fun, too. Early on the morning of Monday, Nov. 18, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, and Carolyn White, president of the Powhatan Education Foundation, made the rounds of the local schools to deliver on a promise made back on Aug. 26 by Bob and Karla Curtis. At that time, Karla Curtis visited all five schools to personally announce that she and her husband, Bob Curtis, founder and

POWHATAN – Powhatan High School’s freshman class recently made its mark on Powhatan, and educators at the school are hoping the county had an impact on the students as well. For the third straight year, the high school held its Freshman Morning of Community Service, which saw about 360 students going out into the

monwealth’s educational leaders. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said the school division was notified about a month ago that it had won one of the awards but only learned last week of the actual award. “It made me extremely proud and thankful that we have the support of the community and that the community supported the vision we have for this school. I think it validated what we already knew – that we have a great facility with great people in it who are really doing some amazing things for our students,” he said. Stephen Halsey, vice president with Moseley Architects, said his firm submitted the application for the middle school project because they were pleased with the school’s flexibility and the innovation in the instructional spaces. “I think the variety and the different
POWHATAN – The last two and a half months as the 2019 Powhatan Christmas Mother have been intriguing, rewarding, and, above all, busy. Christmas Mother Betsy Blandford agreed last week to take a few moments from her packed scheduled to talk about … her packed schedule. That morning, Nov. 19, she had been finalizing the details of a cat and dog food drive Lyman Automotive had agreed to hold. From the interview, she was headed to the Powhatan Christmas Mother’s new permanent headquarters at Pocahontas Landmark Center, which she couldn’t stop gushing about. “Last year shoppers would shop in one location, have to put the gifts in the car and drive them to another location for the wrappers to wrap and put in the boxes for the client families. I can’t imagine how you keep track of every-
thing. Amazon has nothing on the Powhatan Christmas Mother organization as far as keeping track of the clients and their gifts. But the system clearly works very well,” she said with a grin. With only a few weeks until Christmas, the local nonprofit is kicking it into high gear – balancing all of the regular preChristmas duties on top of several upcoming fundraisers and events. At last count, the nonprofit had taken in 187 applications, many representing multiple people asking for help this Christmas, she said. Blandford admitted some of her CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

county for a few hours on Friday, Nov. 15 to perform acts of service, said Michelle Martin, assistant principal. The high school arranged to have students assigned to 14 different locations to help with everything from washing a fire engine to reading to young children to packing food bags for those in need to sorting clothing. The trip is just one more way the school tries to instill in students the value of being good citizens, exposes them to opportunities they may not seek out but can definitely benefit from, and shows them the wide range of ways they can become involved in their local community, she said. “I think we are just building a sense of com-
munity and that we all work together and this is how we do that,” Martin said. The high school used to arrange an annual trip to have freshmen visit colleges, but the feedback administrators got was that the students weren’t ready for that experience yet, Martin said. However, the school still wanted to have a freshman trip. In November 2017, PHS was beginning to offer a Powhatan Service Learning Seal on diplomas, starting with the freshman of the Class of 2021, Martin said. The school decided to organize the first community service trip to help kick off that service goal. In creating the morning of service, Martin said it was important to her see SERVICE, pg. 5

It’s the Hard Knock Life for plants: Best gardening tips for winter drought By Virginia McCown
Winter care in dry conditions
Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardener
Though our dry conditions have improved a little – depending upon where you live in Central Virginia – it’s still drier than normal. “While we have had some much needed rain it is still quite dry beneath the surface in some areas,” says Jay Wilkerson, horticulturist of the Town of Farmville. Although it’s the time of year when plants tend to go dormant and generally use less water, our tending to these plants is far from over. “Newly planted trees, shrubs and perennials will appreciate evenly moist soil until temperatures are below about 40 degrees,” says Wilkerson. “It is important to remember that roots continue to grow even if the above ground portion of the plant is going dormant. Supplemental watering will still be beneficial until there is steady rain or snowfall.” Continued dry weather can be problematic for evergreens at a time when water is so critical for their health prior to winter. During the winter, exposed needles and leaves of evergreens such as pine, southern magnolias, boxwoods and rhododendrons are at the mercy of nature as
R
oseanne Roseannadanna, one of the late Gilda Radner’s characters from the early seasons of Saturday Night Live used to say, “Well, it just goes to show you, it’s always something – if it ain’t one thing it’s another. Following one of the wettest seasons on record, Central Virginia suffered through one of the driest seasons. When a hot, dry weather pattern settles in, it affects your landscape in a variety of ways. Drought makes your healthy plants wilt and their leaves develop brown edges. The flowers fade more quickly, even grow more slowly. Drought weakens your plants and makes them more susceptible to blight and insect attack. Yet at this time of year our real concern should be how drought makes our plants less winter-hardy, especially if the drought continues into late fall as plants become dormant. Trees and shrubs, in particular, can take several years to fully recover from drought.
cold winds pull moisture from the leaves in a process called winter desiccation. Winter desiccation occurs when the amount of water lost by the foliage exceeds the amount absorbed by the roots. Put simply, once the ground freezes, the plant cannot bring any more water in through the roots. If water is already lacking within the plant due to an abnormally dry autumn, then needles and leaves may die as water is lost during harsh, winter wind conditions. Most evergreens have shallow root systems and are the first to exhibit signs of stress. These signs include drooping needles or leaves. If drought conditions continue, needle tips will turn brown (scorch) and branch tips will show needle drop followed by the death of the tree. Premature fall needle coloration may also be symptomatic of drought injury. “Knowing when to water and how much can be tricky,” says Wilkerson. “Investigate the soil conditions by digging down a few inches and checking the root ball of the tree or shrub in question. It is not uncommon for the surrounding soil of a newly planted tree to be moist while the root ball is dry. It is best to keep soil even-
ly moist without becoming soggy.” Slowly watering the root zone of the plant will help wet the roots while preventing runoff. Old 5-gallon buckets work perfectly. A few small holes drilled into the bottom allows water to seep in slowly. It’s drip irrigation on a budget. “Established bulbs and most perennials generally do not require a lot of extra watering when they are dormant,” advises Wilkerson. Certain plants may have different watering and culture requirements.
Stop Fertilizing This applies during a summer drought as well as for dry winter months. Fertilizers encourage plant growth. If fertilizer salts build up in the soil because they're not draining out with rain or irrigation, they can build up and burn plant roots. “Some plants will occasionally be lost from over or under watering. That is just a part of gardening and should be treated as a learning experience rather than a failure,” says Wilkerson. Virginia McCown is a master gardener in Central Virginia, where she lives with her gardens, family and a variety of creatures both great and small.

BSH gives back to community
Arrests • One male was charged on Nov. 17 with possession of marijuana (Misdemeanor), driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated (M),
Contributed Report The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot School may be a small school in Powhatan, but they give back in a big way. BSH recently partnered with two local organizations; Richmond-based Soles 4 Souls and Puritan Cleaners’ Coats for Kids. The opportunity to engage with Soles 4 Souls came about after learning of the organization from a community connection. Soles 4 Souls was founded as a disaster relief organization in 2006 after philanthropists and shoe executives provided footwear to those most impacted by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The organization continues to provide footwear and clothing to those in need during times of disaster. It also helps individuals in under-developed countries to start small businesses by providing a steady supply of high-quality, lowcost products so that families living in poverty can provide for themselves and their families. When BSH became involved in October, the school hosted a shoe drive where students and parents delivered numerous shoes to the campus - some even toting in multiple boxes and rubber bins full of shoes. In all, students collected more than 800 pairs of shoes; a feat for the school of 270 students. Students enthusiastically competed among

grade levels to see who brought in the most, with the first grade and ninth grade classes each bringing in more than 200 pairs. “It was one thing to see our students bring in over 800 pairs of shoes, but it was quite another to hear from them about how much they want to help those in need. They understand the importance of giving back and that is a powerful value” said Paula Ledbetter, head of school. This month, students
also took part in a coat drive for Puritan Cleaners’ Coats for Kids. The organization collects new and gently used coats for all ages. The coats are cleaned by Puritan Cleaners and distributed to Central Virginia’s needy families. During its two week collection time, students collected over 400 coats for the organization. On Nov. 6, students in grades junior kindergarten through fifth grade were treated to a visit by staff from Puritan Cleaners; the
Richmond Christmas Mother, April Niamtu; and WTVR Channel 6 Meteorologist Nikki-Dee Ray, who all came to meet with the students and collect the coats for Puritan Cleaners. Ray talked with students about weather forecasting and the science involved in meteorology, and the students had plenty of snow day questions. Students carried the coats to the Puritan Cleaners van, which became so full that coats would overflow when the doors opened. The gym was filled with great warmth as students expressed their feelings of gratitude in being able to give back. “I think it’s really cool that the whole school is giving coats to kids who can’t afford them,'' said fifthgrader Alex Perkins. “It makes me sad that they don’t have this stuff because they can’t afford it, but I’m glad we’re giving it to them because they really need it,” said fifth-grader Lucas Billings.

busyness is self-driven. The Powhatan Christmas Everyday Committee does so much behind the scenes to make the program work and she couldn’t be more grateful. “Each committee has a chairperson. The committees know their jobs and do their jobs and they have been very generous in letting me participate at whatever level I want to,” Blandford said. “Nobody is waiting on me to spearhead anything. They do what they do. But as far as events and any kind of public speaking, meet and greets, or making connections, that is my job in this organization.” Right now, the committee is trying to be seen in every way they can. They have upcoming fundraisers planned. Blandford set a $40,000 fundraising goal this year, and she said they were about halfway there as of the middle of November. The Angel Trees with individuals’ needs are up at the Powhatan County Public Library, Essex Bank, and the Powhatan Walmart. Blandford knew that instead of the traditional t-shirt or sweater each year’s Christmas Mother designs, she wanted to do something different. She ended up taking her daughter’s suggestion of making the nonprofit’s key item this year a bright red umbrella. On sale for $10, they can be picked up at New Horizons Bank, Essex Bank, Citizens Bank and Trust, Hobby Hills Bakery, and Fine Creek Provisions. “I felt like there were other
things we could sell and it might be time to try something new. People have received them very well,” she shared. Blandford said she is feeling energized by the whole experience, especially the generosity of people in the county. “When I went into it, I thought, oh boy I am going to have to go out and ask people for stuff. At one point in my life I was in sales so I knew how to do that. … But people have been calling me and asking can I do something for you?” she said. The Christmas Mother program partnered with the Powhatan Fire and Rescue Department this year, asking clients who came to register if they needed a smoke alarm or batteries. Blandford said she gave the list to chief Phil Warner, and by Nov. 14, the department “had already contacted 80 percent of the list.” As mentioned above, Lyman Automotive on New Dorset Road is holding a dog and cat food drive. Many of the Christmas Mother’s clients have pets, so the committee wants to help them as well. Three Crosses Distilling Company held a fundraiser for the Christmas Mother on Oct. 24 that was well attended. The upcoming Spaghetti with Santa fundraiser was a result of owner Jimmy Vlasidis calling and asking if Four Seasons Restaurant could help, Blandford said. The restaurant, located at 3867 Old Buckingham Road, will hold the fundraiser from 4 to 8 p.m. on Monday,

Unity One Way Genesis 11:8-9
“So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of the whole earth;” The rich and beautiful tapestry of the earth’s cultural, ethnic and language differences is amazing. God wanted groups to separate post-flood. Unified unredeemed man is always “up to no good.” Unity must be IN Christ. “Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you,...” (1 Cor 1:10a)

PET of the WEEK Hey, Ladies and Gentlemen, My name is Diva. I am 2 years old, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my shots. I love playing with toys, and just all around playing. I get excited when I am playing but I do not jump too much. I have been in a shelter for some time, and would really love a home for the holidays. If you think I might be the perfect ďŹ t, please call 804-598-5672 to schedule a meet and greet. There are many others here at the shelter who really want homes too. So if I am not the one, you can still schedule an appointment to meet the others. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Powhatan County Public Library to host holiday film series Contributed Report To get into the spirit of the holiday season, Powhatan County Public Library is offering a festive retro holiday film series on the first three Fridays in December at 11 a.m. The film series kicks off on Friday, Dec. 6 with a colorful, classical musical featuring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Rosemary Clooney. Singers Bob Wallace (Crosby) and Phil Davis (Kaye) join sister act Betty (Clooney) and Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont. While there, they run into Gen. Waverly (Dean
Jagger), the men's commander in World War II, who is facing financial issues with his quaint country inn. The talented foursome plan to help with a yuletide miracle: a fun-filled musical extravaganza that's sure to put their friend and his business back on the map. This classic movie is not rated and run time is 120 minutes. On Friday, Dec. 13, we head from circa 1954 Vermont to Connecticut at the end of World War II. While recovering in a hospital, war hero Jefferson Jones (Dennis Morgan) grows familiar with the "Diary of a Housewife" column written by Elizabeth Lane (Barbara Stan-
wyck). Jeff's nurse arranges with Elizabeth's publisher, Alexander Yardley (Sydney Greenstreet), for Jeff to spend the holiday at Elizabeth’s beautiful Connecticut farm with her husband and baby. However, the column is a sham, so Elizabeth’s publicist friend arranges a scheme for her to host Jeff and Yardley at a mutual friend’s country estate. Holiday chaos ensues as they attempt to keep up the ruse. This classic movie is not rated and run time is 105 minutes. To wrap up the holiday series on Friday, Dec. 20, join the library for the 1983 film that has become a holiday classic. During the final days before Christmas in
early 1940s Cleveland, 9-year-old Ralphie wants one thing from Santa Claus more than anything else: a Red Ryder Carbine Action Air Rifle. As he trudges through the snow to school, faces the neighborhood bully and visits a malevolent department store Santa Claus, Ralphie connives, conspires and campaigns for the most fabulous Christmas present ever in this heartwarming, hysterical and sweetly nostalgic holiday film based on stories by Jean Sheppard. This film is rated PG. Run time is 98 minutes. For details, contact Powhatan County Public Library at 804-598-5670 or library@powhatanlibrary.net.

that the students do their few hours of helping others in Powhatan. “Although it is important to give back everywhere, I think it is important for our students to give back to Powhatan and to their community. I don’t ever want this trip to lose the focus of Powhatan County,” she said. Before the day even took place, the students were asked to donate $5 that would be used to purchase items for the Powhatan Christmas Mother program, Martin said. In all, the class raised $515, which one of the teams then spent on a shopping trip at Walmart on items a teen might like. Sammie Carraway was one of the students who went on the shopping trip to Walmart. The shoppers picked out some fun things aimed at teenagers, including gift cards so the recipients could go out with their friends without being embarrassed. They also wanted to provide some essentials teens might need, including toiletries and clothes. Participating in the project was humbling, she said, because it felt wonderful to be helping other teens like her. Sammie said it reminded her to be

grateful for all she has today. She added that the experience was made even more enjoyable by working on the project with freshmen she had seen but didn’t really know. Since the project, the students have kept talking to each other, and she loves that she made some knew friends. The students who volunteered at Backpacks of Love were hustling, Martin said. They worked together to pack more than 600 bags, which will be distributed to children in Powhatan and surrounding localities to make sure they don’t go hungry. One of the new stops added this year was the Powhatan Animal Control, which set up three
stations for the students to participate in during their service. Braeden Henke said he started by making ornaments with photos of the dogs on them, walked some of the shelter dogs, and then sat down and held newborn puppies. Braeden said it was his first community service project and he had a great time. He especially liked walking the dogs. “I think we were just trying to help out the community and see what we could do to help around there,” he said. A large number of the students traveled to the division’s three elementary schools, where one or two freshmen were assigned to a classroom and tasked with helping with whatever the teacher needed.
Powhatan High School’s Freshman Morning of Community Service saw students visiting 14 spots around the county to perform community service on Nov. 15. Stops Some read to younger included the Powhatan children or decorated bulFood Pantry, left, and Flat letin boards, Martin said. Rock Elementarty School, Freshman Sara Barnett shown above and right.
volunteered with a group at the Powhatan Food Pantry, where the students sorted fruits and vegetables, unloaded food deliveries, completed orders, and helped people find food. Sara said she has done community service projects elsewhere in the county. She felt this field trip was meant to help students see the needs in their county. “In the end it taught me that I’m very lucky for what I have. In the future I would like to volunteer more. It makes me more involved in our community and helps other people, too,” she said. Other places where the class volunteered included

GRANTS Continued from pg. 1
co-CEO of PIEtech, would be reinvesting a piece of the roughly $500 million they made from the sale of their company to Envestnet earlier this year into the local school system. The capstone of the gift was a commitment to give every teacher and counselor in the school district $1,000 to spend on their classrooms and students. The couple also pledged to set up a $25,000 scholarship fund for Powhatan High School and give an additional $45,000 grant to be split between the school district’s music, career and technical education (CTE), and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs. The couple is partnering with the Powhatan Education Foundation (PEF) to administer the Curtis Donor Advised Fund, which includes the three distinct funds. When PIEtech was sold, a portion of the payment to shareholders was in cash and another part in restricted Envestnet stock that couldn’t be sold for six months, Karla Curtis shared. With that waiting period up on Nov. 1, they used Envestnet stock to fund the donor advised fund, which allowed them to move forward on paying out all of the grant money except the scholarships that are coming later in the year. White said the couple was adamant that the scholarships be used to enable students to attend school when they otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend. They are still working on the guidelines on how they will be awarded. Karla Curtis was camera shy and didn’t come to the check presentations. So White and Jones stepped forward to do the presentations, which were held at two of the schools with oversized checks that the schools got to keep. For the teachers and counselors, they presented checks for $49,500 to Flat Rock Elementary; $53,800 to Pocahontas Elementary; $37,000 to Powhatan Elementary; $80,000 to Powhatan Middle School, and $103,700 to Powhatan High School. Curtis pointed out that there are some teachers and counselors who work part-time, so those staff grants were adjusted based on how many hours they work. Dr. Mike Massa, PHS principal, said he knows some teachers had begun to look at different devices or programs that could enhance instruction in their classrooms or were researching training opportunities. With the funds now in place, he expected to start seeing requests for reimbursement and proposals from

Carolyn White, president of the Powhatan Education Foundation, and Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, delivered checks on Nov. 18 for all five Powhatan public schools as well as the STEM, CTE, and music programs. The checks came from residents Bob and Karla Curtis, who decided to use a portion of the profits from the sale of their company, PIEtech, earlier this year to invest in the county schools.

teachers about their plans for the money. “All I hear is excitement and creativity from our teachers of the best way to utilize the funds so it directly affects student learning,” Massa said. “The one theme that I have heard from teachers is that they are excited and they are appreciative, but they also are making sure the funds get the best bang for the buck in terms of ways in which it can enhance instruction and learning for our students.” White and Jones also presented $5,000 to the division’s music program; $27,500 to the CTE programs, and $25,000 to the STEM programs. The
couple ended up giving $12,500 more than they originally pledged to the CTE programs. Dr. Jason Tibbs, CTE director, said the high school initially requested a milling machine to be used by the agriculture and engineering programs. However, the couple consulted a professional friend who told them they should instead buy a plasma cutter to be more in line with current industry standards. “We were aware of a plasma cutter and one of the staff members had mentioned a plasma cutter to me at one time, but it was very cost prohibitive for us within our op-
erating budget to be able to purchase one of those. So, we went for a much simpler option, which would have been a milling machine,” Tibbs said. “When they came back to us and said we would rather you get a plasma cutter … we were elated.” Jones said the checks were received on Nov. 18 and available at that point to the teachers. The staff members who receive the grants can spend their grant monies on instructional materials, class field trips, conference/ travel, technology, furniture and equipment, direct student support, or equipment or supplies to help students with disabilities.
“Teachers have begun planning what they are going to purchase. Some of them have already purchased things with their own funds and will be looking to get reimbursement. The impact has already been felt, but now that the money is actually here and teachers can begin purchasing, I know they’ve got lots of ideas,” Jones said. “It is going to be an onslaught of lots of great things happening in our classrooms and for our students as a result.” During the Powhatan County School Board’s Nov. 12 meeting, White handed out $29,290.60 in Innovative Classroom Grants provided by the
Powhatan Education Foundation. To be back a week later helping present the Curtis checks was heartwarming and rewarding, she said, because of the impact she knows they will all have on the schools and the community as a whole. “It’s going to touch every household in the county, and that’s what we were hoping to do with the Powhatan Education Foundation is help broaden the reach of the teachers in the schools. Bob and Karla Curtis have made that possible,” she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Youth have big capacity to help others By Laura McFarland Editor

isclaimer: This is not a holiday column. I am about to talk about a topic that tends to come up at this time of year – helping others. Around the holiday season, we are often reminded to become more introspective and thankful for what we have and to give to others. And I absolutely believe that is 100 percent true and we should embrace that as our mantra. But when I wrote this column, I was only vaguely thinking about the fact that tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Christmas season is mere weeks away (or at least trying not to think about that as I work my way through a massive To Do List). Instead, I was thinking about a recent jaunt around Powhatan County following camera shy Powhatan High School freshmen as they did a little good in the community. If you check out the front page of this newspaper, you will see a story about the high school’s annual Freshman Morning of Community Service. On Friday, Nov. 15, about 360 freshman and some chaperones hopped onto school buses and were shuttled to 14 different community service projects around the county. This was the school’s third year to do this event, which is designed to help promote the qualities of a good citizen who helps his or her community. Depending on how far they had to go, the students spent about two hours at an assignment, doing whatever jobs the coordinators at that location had come up with for them. My goal in covering this event was to visit as many stations as possible in the two-hour time period, knowing that with locations as spread out as Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department in the east and Powhatan State Park in the west, there was no way to hit them all. The locations I did get to visit were great, and the
work done at some of the other locations that assistant principal Michelle Martin told me about also sounded amazing. When they signed up for the morning of service, each of the students was asked to donate $5 that would be used to shop for donations to the Powhatan Christmas Mother program. In all, the freshman class raised $515, and I got to see some of the students assigned to that stop as they traveled around Walmart trying to think about what kind of things would appeal to teenagers like them. At the Powhatan Food Pantry, students helped fill orders as clients came in and unloaded donations and shelved them. Other than when I got them together for a group photo, I didn’t hear any complaining. They seemed genuinely engaged and eager to help any way they could. A huge portion of the students were spread among all three elementary schools, with one or two students assigned to each classroom. Each student’s task depended on what his or her assigned classroom was doing. The freshmen I saw at Flat Rock Elementary were interacting with younger students. They might have been asked to read to them, help them with a project, or decorate bulletin boards. At Pocahontas Elementary, freshmen helped the first-graders winterize their garden. I didn’t get to stop by, but Ms. Martin told me that the students that helped at Backpacks of Love kicked butt, packing more than 600 bags of food that will be distributed to young people in Powhatan and surrounding counties. One of the new stations this year was Powhatan Animal Control, where students visited stations that saw them decorating ornaments with the animals’ photos, walking dogs, and cuddling puppies. The photos that came out of this station are especially adorable. For me, two things really stood out about the morning of service that the high school put together. The first was how each student I talked to specifically mentioned how they went on their particular project not really knowing

Everyone who follows football is well acquainted with the sideline. It’s a boundary that runs the length of the field signified by a large line that delineates the playing field and out of bounds. But, most don’t know there’s another adjacent line located about five feet out of bounds, and that’s the line that means the most to the folks who stand on the sideline and photograph or cover games. I call it the pay attention zone, because, when you’re there, anything can happen, and during more than two decades of patrolling that line, I can tell you it usually does. Even after all these years mostly successfully dodging hurling players coming at me at break-neck speed, it’s still a place that requires serious attention; and any lack of can result in injury. As I watched the Auburn-Georgia game this weekend, the reality of the danger was clearly demonstrated when a player leveled a photographer as he was pushed out of bounds. I suspect she never saw it coming as she held her camera in shooting position right up until the moment of impact. The collision knocked her unconscious and she was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. The incident was eerily familiar for me, and, after not so many years on the sideline with camera in hand, I’ve learned if the shot looks too good through the lens, you’re seconds away from a broken leg.
I’ve learned the real badge of courage is earned by how fast you can back up and get out of the way. It’s something of which I’ve become acutely aware as my age progresses. I’ve also learned the lessons of hard knocks through the years. I’ve had my knee destroyed by an errant player pushed out of bounds at full speed on a kickoff. And the bruises I’ve received during my career are too many to mention. Now, photographers and reporters who work the sidelines often find themselves grouped together, and the location of the action on the field dictates where we stand on the sideline. I always take a look at what is in front of me and, and, more importantly, what’s behind. “Make sure we have an escape route. They’re coming this way,” I said to my colleagues just last week. You can judge the reactions by the amount of time each had spent in that precarious position. The younger ones pay no attention, while more experienced devotees take that special glance behind them. I’ve found a couple of inches can make a world of difference when you’re feet away from the Emergency Room. Now, I suppose some photographers work a lifetime without incident covering sports, but I can’t think of a single genre I’ve covered where some injury didn’t find its way to me. Let’s see. In addition to the aforementioned knee, there’s the permanent mark on my leg in the shape of a baseball that, if I live long enough, 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-730-0476

may eventually fade; or the time a errand tennis shot found its way too close to my unmentionables. And don’t even ask how it feels to take a no look basketball pass to the midsection. I’m thinking that only thing I haven’t been hit with is a Badminton birdie. I learned early in my career (the hard way) that getting the perfect shot is not worth a broken bone, and colliding with grown men with pads is a no-win situation. On a chilly night in Petersburg, a photographer constantly carried on conversations with others working the sideline. He asked me several questions regarding camera settings. I finally warned him that his position required constant attention to the action on the field, but he continued his inquiries and inattention to the game. It was a sweep that opened his eyes as a trio of players didn’t slow down one bit as they took him to the ground and slid across the damp ground, the small photographer barely visible under the mass of humanity. Once revived and cleaned of some of the mud that covered his body, he rejoined the group of journalists following the action from the sideline. “Those guys rode me like I was a sled,” he said with a hint of surprise. Yes, they did, I thought. The outline of his camera on his chest made an indelible impression that has lasted until this day. I think of it each and every time I take the position, close to the action, but only five feet from disaster.
some of the freshmen there. Each one said it was great to get to know some of their fellow students better instead of only sticking with the friends they have always known. The second thing that stood out was the diversity of the projects. The term community service is a catchall for a hugely diverse number of activities, whether it is cleaning up a road or a river, weeding a garden, delivering meals to an elderly person, reading to young children, shelving books, sorting clothes, filling a food basket, or, yes, cuddling a puppy. Understanding that there are multiple ways you can help your community in a way that appeals to you is an important lesson. Some of the freshmen who participated in this event may have been doing community service projects for years as individuals, with their church, or with another group. On the other hand, some of the students may never have done a community service project before that day, which is a shame, because according to the ones I spoke with, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I am incredibly thrilled the high school does this project, but some of the best stories I have ever heard were related to young people simply being kind to others. Volunteering at a younger age can help point children toward new interests, new friends, and a wider understanding for how they as one individual can impact their community and their world. I know we live in a busy time where adding one more thing to the To Do List seems like an insane thing to ask, but exposing children of all ages to service projects is a great way to help build their awareness of their community and the world at large and how they might do some good in it. And even though this isn’t a holiday column, I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that there are plenty of organized opportunities to help others at this time of year, so why wait?

types of instructional spaces that we provided gives the teachers a lot of flexibility in tailoring instruction to students who are learning at different levels, which is important today. We are not teaching to the highest common denominator or the lowest common denominator; we are teaching to students’ strengths, wherever they are on the instructional spectrum,� Halsey said. The design of the school helps facilitate the type of teaching and learning that educators want to see in Powhatan classrooms, Jones said. “That it is collaborative and open to challenge students to think in new ways. The collaborative learning spaces, flexible seating, and outdoor learning spaces reinforce a positive climate for deeper learning,� he said.

One of the spaces the application highlighted was the school’s dining space, which was actually designed more as a performance space where people eat, Halsey said. He pointed to the room’s acoustic treatment, the stage, and the retractable auditorium seating that
takes capacity up to 600 people. “There was discussion early on in the project of could we afford to do an auditorium? It is pretty rare nowadays for school divisions to do auditoriums for the middle school level, so we had to think creatively about how we

provided a quality performance space,� he said. The way the architects designed the project to preserve the shell of the gym and career and technical education (CTE) wing also were highlighted in the application, Halsey said. “For us it was important because we were able to salvage and use some of the bones of the existing building and really repurpose that space,� he said. “We turned a high school gym into a proper sized middle school gym and also provided locker room space, all within the same shell structure.

space, you could never tell it wasn’t what it ended up being. To create a welcoming environment that invites students in, the design includes ample sight lines from the first and second floor hallways and unrestricted access from the dining area and courtyard, according to the application. Jones said he knew that the staff at Moseley Architects was excited about the middle school from the beginning and liked that they were not only willing but excited to “push the envelope and do some new things to enhance student learning.â€? Everyone was excited to be designing a school “for the next 50 years not the last 50 years,â€? he added. “We get calls all the time from Moseley and from other school districts to come and visit Powhatan Middle School. ‌ It has gained a reputation throughout the area as a place that people want to come and see something like this that is working,â€? Jones said. VSBA represents every school board in the state, and the design award is one of the biggest the organization gives out each year, Jones said.
“It is being recognized in front of your peers, so to speak, from a school board perspective. It is one of the major awards for the architecture firms in the state to be recognized and one of the most prestigious ones. I think those two factors make it special, and any time you are considered the best in the state, it is something to celebrate,� Jones said. Since Moseley Architects does so much work in the K-12 sector, awards from organizations like the VSBA are ones the firm values most because they “recognize quality educational facilities,� Halsey said. “It makes us as a firm feel great, especially with the partnership that we had with Dr. Jones and his staff. It was an absolutely team effort from the design of the project and the construction of the project and working with Dr. Jones and his staff,� he said. “Probably the most rewarding part is that it demonstrates everybody working toward the same goal – and that is designing a great school for the students and teachers of Powhatan.� Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

Preview: BSH boys 2019-20 Avery, Kurtz leading way into upcoming basketball season By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor Head coach Chris Hamner said his Knights have a lot of players who have been putting in a lot of work this offseason with that Dec. 3 2019-20 opener against Guardian Christian Academy on their minds; for them, it can’t get here soon enough. “We need to get off to a good start,” Hamner said. “I know that having great leaders on this team, we will be ready to go.” The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot boys basketball team is bringing back two leading contributors from last year’s group in seniors Raymond Avery and Robbie Kurtz. Last year Avery averaged 15 points and 5 assists while Kurtz averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds. Both have started since they were freshmen.

Carter signs to Oklahoma State BSH senior to compete on Division I equestrian team By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s students witnessed a momentous signing on Monday afternoon when senior Elizabeth Carter officially penned her decision to attend Oklahoma State and compete for the school’s Division I Equestrian team.
“It’s such a great feeling...I’ve looked forward to it for so long,” Carter said after signing. “It’s been one of my biggest dreams...to ride in college. I’m just really proud of everything that I’ve done this year and before that and thankful for everyone that’s helped me and kept me on the right path to getting here.” OSU is definitely a ways away - it’s roughly 1,250 miles west of Powhatan County and about a five-and-a-half-hour flight from Richmond - but Carter really felt at home there. “It’s a great atmosphere and I really
love the campus - it’s gorgeous,” Carter said. “The girls there on the team are so nice and friendly and I got along with them really well...I spent a couple days there with them on an official visit and I really enjoyed being around the girls.” She will compete in hunt seat events, which include flat patterns and jumping over fences. Carter said that OSU has its own farm and horses, so she’ll ride OSU’s horses during practices and at home meets. But when she and her team travel to other schools and compete in away meets, she’ll see CARTER, pg. 2B

POWHATAN – When it comes to the 2019-20 girls’ basketball season around the bend, there are a couple things that Powhatan senior Michala Taylor is most excited about. First, there’s winning. But then, there are the pregame dinners, for which she and her teammates put their phones away and get to have genuine conversations with one another. “I feel like it brings us all together,” she said, “and
By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Head coach Ryan Marable observed that everyone who played in Wednesday’s home scrimmage versus J.R. Tucker showed flashes of the 2019-20 Powhatan Indians’ potential as a team.

Previewing BSH GBB for 2019-20 By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Seniors Elizabeth Carter, Sidney McMinn and Katie Schiefer have been playing together on the basketball court for over 10 years now. Their teammates voted them as the Knights’ captains, and they’ve been very instrumental in giving feedback to their new head coach Phil Villiott on the past and how things had occurred. “I think their excitement with the season has also shown and they’re putting FILE/POWHATAN TODAY their best foot forward for sure,” Villiott Katie Schiefer is among the BSH Knights’ said. “I’m relying on them very heavireturning senior leaders for the new year. ly…I try to approach it as more of a part-
nership between me and them and the team. I think that’s progressing well.” They’ll look to work together and lead the 11-player Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights to a more successful season. “I’d say our goal as a team should definitely be to get to Richard Bland…to be in the semifinals of our conference, because in my experience on the team, we’ve only made it once,” Schiefer said. In addition to their three seniors, the Knights have back one of their leading scoring threats from last season in 9th grader Madelyn Mitchell and also return junior Shaw Forward and freshman Casee BSH GBB, pg. 2B

Hamner said the three full seasons of varsity competition for each player “will give them the experience needed to be great leaders of our team.” In addition to Kurtz and Avery, Nick Dawson, Ben Fleet, Henry Kiefer and Chase Musselman are among the Knights’ returning players. Newcomers include senior James Hawkins, junior transfers Ben Newton and Zach Miles, juniors Michael Timmons and Carson Conner and sophomores Zander Nadeau and Charlie Winfree. Like Dawson, Fleet and Musselman, Hawkins as well as Newton and Miles – both of whom came to BSH from Richmond Christian – contributed to the football team’s winning season this year. Timmons, Conner, Nadeau and Winfree all came up from the JV team, on which Nadeau averaged
25 points. “We have a great group of kids that get along very well,” Hamner said. “I believe team chemistry will be a positive for us.” They can shoot the ball well, he said, and they “play extremely hard.” As for improvements that the Knights are looking to make as the season goes on, Hamner said they have to be able to defend. “We have to be able to consistently get stops against some really good teams in our league,” he said. “We must put pressure on our opponents. We can’t sit back and let other teams survey the court and pick us apart.” His Knights, he noted, need to be dictating what the other team is doing. “We have guys that can rebound,” Hamner said. “If we can force tough shots, hopefully we can control both ends of the floor.” The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights are slated to begin their 2019-20 season on Tuesday, Dec. 3

“Our positive plays will be on film,” Marable said, while adding that a lot of the things that he and his coaching staff had been harping on to the players since Day 1 “showed their head now” against another opponent. “Now we can say: Hey, this is what we’ve been talking about, and it doesn’t translate into being ahead on the scoreboard,” Marable said. “It’s a learning experience and that’s what scrimmages should be all about.” One of the things he’s wanting to see from his team is more trips to the free throw line, and Brylan Rather, a newcomer to varsity, showed the way for Powhatan on Wednesday, shooting 7-of-10 from the charity stripe. Marable believes that if Rather gets to the free-throw line and doesn’t settle for jumpers, he’s an 18-to24-point-a-game scorer. Senior Trey Moore shined in passing the ball to his teammates before using his speed to dish out a couple of late-game

makes our bond stronger.” Building up team chemistry is central to Powhatan’s focus. This year’s team is young, and they’re still learning each other and how to play and work together. “We’re going to need to grow each week and learn from our mistakes – that’s going to be pretty important for us as the season goes on,” said head coach Kristy Henderson. “But I have 13 girls who are willing to work and willing to practice hard every day and it’s just a really great bunch of girls to work with.” “We’re a really well-connected team… we all get along really nicely,” said returning sophomore Faith Henderson, who added: “If we all work together, we will get good shots.” “If we just give 100 percent effort into practices…we can definitely improve on our passing, shooting, dribbling,” said returning sophomore Kayla Terry, “and just being a better team overall and working hard.” Multisport athlete Taylor, who’s among the team’s seniors, said their willingness to want to get better every day has improved so much. “The upperclassmen like Gabby (Dintino) and Rachel (Losch) bring positivity every day,” Taylor said. “There’s never a dull moment with these girls, which makes us better on and off the court.” “I think once we mesh together, we’re going to be really successful,” Losch said. “I think this team is really positive…and we want to do better…I’m excited to make the rest of my team better because they’re a young team and they have more years ahead of them.” While Powhatan graduated a talented and versatile selection of seasoned leaders – which featured Class of 2019 standouts Katie Henderson, Katlyn Hicks, Charlotte Kramer and Maggie Salomonsky – the team returns the four players who were its leading scorers in its final game of the 2018-19 season: Faith, Taylor, Terry and senior Reese Vandell.
at home versus Guardian Christian Academy with game time currently set for 7 p.m. For Hamner’s team, a successful season would mean winning. “They would want to get a few upsets against some teams that we have not beaten in a long time,” he said, “and probably making a run in the playoffs.” For Hamner as a coach, it’s about making a positive impact on his players’ lives. “Just like every year, I want to make a positive impact on these young men’s life. I will not know if I am a successful coach until my guys go on to be great husbands, great fathers, great people,” Hamner said. “My Dad was a high school coach for 30 years and when he died 5 years ago, I already knew what a great Dad he was, but when former players packed the church for his funeral, I knew what a great coach he was as well.”

brey Forward. The team’s chemistry has grown, and the newcomers to the varsity team have been able to fit into the team really well, Schiefer noted. “I think the girls coming off the bench this year have really put in a lot of practice time and they’ve gotten a lot better,” Carter added. “I know that I’ve seen them just blossom, so I’m really excited for them to be able to come in and be confident going into the game and not be sitting on the bench like, ‘Please don’t put me in!’ Because I’ve seen that they’re wanting to be in the game, they’re wanting the ball, which I think that’s really awesome to see.” “Last year we had a really young team and it was some of the girls’ first year playing varsity basketball and they were nervous,” McMinn said. “To see them come out and want to play and put in more effort this year – and they’re having a lot of fun with it this year – it’s good to see that.” Schiefer sees her team as a guard team – they don’t really have a big per se, but they both shoot very well and have the ability to drive and finish, and they also utilize the bigs that they have in a positive way. “But they also are great threats on
the outside in shooting as well,” Schiefer said. “I think we have strength in all areas.” She feels that they’re more prepared this year as far as being in shape. “We’ve done a lot more running and drill stuff to prepare us...” Schiefer said. They’ve also done a lot more gamesimulating drills to help girls in their first year of varsity see, realize and keep up with varsity’s faster pace, added Carter, who played a ton of defense last year. She noted how they’ve been working a lot in practice with defense, reading the offense, making early stops and not fouling. She also spoke to the need for more consistency throughout the team and throughout games. In addition, Villiott pointed to the importance of continuing to develop confidence in the team. “I think getting some early successes will be definitely key to that,” he said. His players have been working really hard, he added, and while it’s a long season and a lot of things can happen, continuing that intensity “is definitely going to pay dividends.” The Knights expect to open the season at Millwood on Dec. 4 at 5 p.m. “I’m excited to see where we’re gonna go - where we can go, how much potential we have, where we’re gonna be in 4 months,” McMinn said.
buckets. Marable had also talked about getting the ball to the paint and then kicking it out to guys who could knock down shots, and Moore delivered a picture-perfect example of that early in the scrimmage when he dashed into the lane, then passed to his left to Logan Wyatt, who from the corner knocked down the threeball. Moore later followed-up his own layup by making another money assist to a wideopen LJ Alston who raced underneath the basket and put the ball up for two. “When Trey - early in the game – when he’s playing and letting the game come to him and just taking what the defense gives us, he’s a floor general and he’s a collegetype point guard who knows how to run his team,” Marable said. Senior Jay Harris scored a couple of early buckets and then hit into a rhythm in the third quarter. He came up with a steal, he knocked down three big outside shots and he maneuvered his way to the net for a layup. He also burned a defender with his footwork to slice on by, drop in an and-one bucket and energize the home fans.
“I think it’s really good for Jay to get back on the court and experience some success,” Marable said. “This is his senior year and he wants it.” Six-foot-seven Ethan Kramer won the opening tip-off, turned a pass from Moore into two points to open the game and then joined his teammates, including Wyatt, in pulling down rebounds. One of the things that Marable noted after the game was the importance of following-up a bucket on offense with a stop on defense and repeating that pattern. “I go to college basketball practices sometimes and they’re trying to embrace that with their kids: Don’t trade baskets; let’s get stops, stops, stops,” Marable said. “That’s what it’ll take for us to win games and not just have highlights...” The Indians are looking to be a little bit more mentally tough as well as lock-in and focus on simply having more points than the other team at the end of the game. They’re scheduled to host another scrimmage on Monday, Nov. 25 versus Trinity Episcopal at 7 p.m. before beginning their regular season at home versus Cosby on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 7:15 p.m.
Taylor got a lot of time in the post for Powhatan in the second half of last season; Coach Henderson hopes she’ll get to continue that this year, as well as generate more offensive production. Vandell with her quickness will be able to help her team both offensively and defensively, and the team anticipates that newcomers Jillian Ratliff and Logan Anthony will be able to contribute to the defensive side of the ball following the graduation of Hicks, who last year earned the team’s defensive player of the year honors. Henderson spoke to Faith’s versatility and said they’ll use her in all positions when need be. “And having Kayla back as the starting point guard for us is definitely giving us a boost with the new season coming up,” she said of Terry before adding with a smile: “She’s got that threepointer down pat, and she’s been shooting the ball pretty well here.” Sophomore Sophie Dolan has shown herself to be a good shooter, and Coach Henderson anticipates she’ll hold a big offensive role on the team. And both Dintino and Losch, Henderson added, have worked really hard, putting in a lot of time and effort and competing for the chance to pick up more playing time on the court. “Gabby would come in and play for 2 minutes and she would work so hard and give Maggie (Salomonsky) a rest, but she knew her role and she did great! This year she’s ready for a little more,” Coach Henderson said. “And Rachel’s such a great shooter – when she’s wide-open against the zone, she can drill some shots for us.” Kelsey Nickerson also joins Ratliff as the new juniors on the varsity team, and Powhatan will begin the season with currently just one freshman in Erin Almond. New sophomores in addition to Anthony and Dolan include Meghan Hodge and Faith’s volleyball teammate Emilie McDaniels, who contributed key blocks in games during the volleyball season and brings rebounding ability to the basketball season. With the shift in districts comes a very challenging schedule. Teams with recent legacies of winning state championships
like Cosby and Monacan, will now be twice-a-year opponents in the regular season. Powhatan will also get two guaranteed chances to play Huguenot – the team that beat the Indians in the first round of last year’s region tournament. “They’re definitely going to be really strong, really well-rounded and athletic teams – they’re going to be fast,” Dintino said. “That’s going to push us to really get in shape and condition and work really hard in everything we do in practice.” And facing those strong teams will help the Indians “get better and more talented as a team,” she added. “It’ll teach us to push all the way through,” Dintino said, “because even when we’re losing, we still have to fight to the end and just continue to work hard, keep us positive.” To be the best, you play the best, Coach Henderson said. “I feel like we’re going to be challenged real early and have some time in our schedule to work on some things over the winter break and prepare for the bulk of our season in January to get ready for tournament play,” Coach Henderson said. “They are talented schools without a doubt,” Taylor said of their new district opponents. But she added that, if they can outwork those schools “on every play, pass and transition,” then they can shutdown their confidence all-the-while showing them how much talent Powhatan has. “Everyone is an even competitor,” Taylor said. “Basketball is a sport where you can lose by 20 points to one team and play that same exact team and win by 20 points. It’s all about the effort and not making any excuses.” Terry spoke to the importance of bringing a positive attitude to the team “no matter what,” and if the Powhatan Indians – whether they win or lose – don’t give up, then – to Losch – they’re “going to have a successful season.” And Coach Henderson said: “I just think if we can stay positive and keep working together to improve each week, each game, learn from our mistakes, then it’s going to be a successful year.”

ride the horses provided by the hosting school, meaning that she’ll compete with unfamiliar horses when she’s on the road. “It’s very different - the jumping is pretty much the same but it’s harder because you’re on a different horse; you don’t know anything about it,” she said. “But the flat, the style of the flat is very different from what I’m used to, so I’m excited to see what that holds and take on that new challenge.” And two of the horses she’s ridden in competitions, Talinsky and Andiamo, could be described as opposites in terms of the ways that they go and want you to ride them. And as Carter’s trainer Katherine Schmidt described this summer: “For her to learn the versatility of riding two very different horses is really a good thing for her and her future... she’ll be able to ride multiple types of horses and figure them out pretty quickly, which is a really good skill to have.” Schmidt had also praised Carter as a very hard worker “You can tell her to get to the barn at 4 a.m. and she wouldn’t bat an eye,” Schmidt had said and Carter said she loves the bond that you create with the horse you’re riding. She’s earned big marks along the way, achieving her best Bryan Trophy Horsemanship equitation class finish this past summer (third) while riding Talinsky in the Deep Run Horse Show. After that, she won the Culpeper Equitation Classic, and Andiamo - whom she’s had since he was a baby - was the champion at Culpeper. Carter’s trainers Schmidt and Janet Simpson both helped her immensely with the recruitment process. “They were really great with sending videos that I had given to them - they would cut them together and send those to them, and then just telling them how I was around the barn,” Carter said. “That was very helpful for them to share their knowledge on me and to speak so highly of me.” Both trainers also strongly influenced her growth and development as a rider. “I’m just so grateful for everything they’ve taught me and what I’ve learned from them,” she said. Carter looks forward to getting into the collegiate atmosphere, figuring herself out, growing and becoming a better rider and seeing where that takes her. As for the first thing she believes she’ll do when she gets oncampus, she’ll “probably go to the barn,” she said with a laugh. “I’ll go to the barn, see the horses, see the teammates, my coaches,” she said. “I’m really excited to be there.”

Cross country standouts reflect on running in states By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Every year Gavin Timmons has been in high school, he’s reached the cross country state championships. And for the junior, running in states got better with this year’s meet. First there were the conditions: the course was dry, the wind wasn’t as bad as last year and it wasn’t too cold. “It felt really good just running.” And then there was the result. Out of 102 runners, Timmons finished his third varsity season of cross country by running 38th with a time of 16:59 in the Class 4 boys state meet held Saturday, Nov. 16 at Great Meadow in The Plains. “I was really satisfied,” he said. Timmons this year prepared like it was going to be the same temperatures as last year so that he wouldn’t be in the position where he was cold; he felt that preparation helped him out. He was also able to run a little bit more on-pace, and he felt healthier. “Even though I’ve been injured…I still felt healthier,” he said. “I felt better in the race.” For the coming season – his senior year – he plans to put in a little more mileage, probably hit where the coach wants to cap him off at 50 miles per week and do more strengthening. He wants to keep that going longer into the season until they start lowering his mileage in order to keep his stability muscles from getting injured again. He also wants to hit a low time in the range of 16:25 and 16:10 – that’s his first goal, and then if he gets that, he and his coaches will “work from there.” While Timmons represented Powhatan in the boys’ race of states, freshman Rebecca Ray completed her firstever year running cross country by representing Powhatan in the Class 4 girls’ state race. “It was pretty big – I was not expecting to be able to make it to states,” Ray said, “and then when I did…I was pretty
excited about it.” Ray qualified for her first state meet on a 7th-place finish and a time of 20:46 in the Region 4B championships. On Great Meadow’s challenging course at states, she placed 55th out of 110 runners and ran a 21:10. “I feel like I didn’t do the best – I feel like I could’ve done better – but I really tried hard and I feel like I left it all on the course, and I couldn’t have done any better under the circumstances of it being really cold,” Ray said. While the weather was relatively not as cold and windy as it was for Timmons the previous year, this was Ray’s first time running in the colder conditions when compared to the rest of the cross country season. “It was very cold, and since it was a very open course, it was very windy, and we had to run through a stream of water and it was very cold,” Ray said, noting how there was water from a stream overflowing onto a bridge. “It was pretty much up to our feet, so it wasn’t superhigh, but it splashed up all over me and it was very cold.” She felt she did the best on the last sprint and opening up towards the last 400 to 600 meters. She was also excited to see the competition. “There are a lot of really good people,” she said. “It was really competitive and I like being competitive, so it was fun.” She really wants to be able to work on keeping a positive mindset while she’s running, getting up hills faster and not slowing down once she’s made it past them. With the 2019 season completed, she’ll still look to run five times a week and do strengthenings, then ramp up her preparation when they get closer to competing in the fall of 2020. Through cross country, Ray has been able to make more friends who aren’t in her grade, and the people on her team are really nice, she said. “It was a really fun experience as my first season,” Ray added. “I’m really proud of how our team did, and it was a really good season.”
