Pow werred Up By Laura McFarland Editor
OWHATAN – In a rural community like Powhatan County, searching for really spectacular Christmas light displays can be a bit of a treasure hunt. You may have to go over hills and down windy, tree-lined roads (and this year even gravel roads), but occasionally you strike gold. While we at the Powhatan Today love a goodd treasure hunt, we wantt to take a little of the he guess work out off the journey and tell you once again where X marks the spot with the third annual Powered Up Powhatan light dissplay list. We have added a few more homes to thee list and even brought back a few from the first year who have continued to up their game – and their wattage levels. One of this year’s stops is a bit of a departure from the norm as it is more of a light show than a light display. But for anyone who makes the drive to watch it, we are sure you will find it an entertaining way to spend part of your evening. The people on our list decorate their homes for the love of Christmas and the joy of sharing their holiday cheer with others. They were all happy to know people will enjoy their creations. But as always, a few reminders for people visiting the locations on our list. The Powered Up Powhatan list does

not adhere to the more strict requirements of Richmond’s Tacky Lights Tour, which asks for a minimum of 40,000 lights to participate. But they still feature some fantastic displays (or shows) that are worth seeing. Unlike Richmond homes, the Powhatan sites on this list are often found on rural roads that are dark and sometimes have pretty steady traffic. In a few cases where the homeowners specifically give permission, people p are welcome to park and welc walk up to look at the displays as long as disp you yo are respectful to their property and that of their a neighbors. n But be extremely mindful of tr the th lack of visibility and a the speed with which whic everyone knows drivers sometimes use even on dark, dar windy roads. Also, some of these homes have massive displays, and that means a great deal of electrical cords to keep them all powered up. Be careful of cords and bring a flashlight if needed to keep your family safe. If your home was not mentioned but you would love to have visitors come look at your display, contact editor Laura McFarland at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com. PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND

Professional wrestler Dan Champion tries to get Flat Rock Elementary fourth-graders Brooke Thacker and Kara Posey to support him during his match against The Proletariat Boar at the Winter Wipeout. The girls refused.
From the classroom to the ring By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – As Flat Rock Elementary School teacher Robin Hagy watched the fourth-graders yelling, screaming, and jumping up and down, she had a satisfied smile on her face. She could see the excitement and engagement on their faces as they alternately cheered and booed the professional wrestlers participating in the Winter Wipeout held on Dec. 7 at Powhatan High School. Hundreds of people, including most of Flat Rock’s fourth-grade class and their family members, came to watch the free show, which saw male and female professional wrestlers squaring off in a ring set up in one of the gyms. “I was so incredibly proud of them at the show. I took a few moments through the night to soak it all in. The smiles and absolute joy on their faces throughout the night brought tears to my eyes,” she said. For Hagy, the night was the culmination of more than a year’s worth of work that started when she applied for and was awarded a $10,050 Engaging Creative Thinkers grant from Partners in the Arts to
implement her Heroes Wear Masks projects. The project allowed her to blend two loves – teaching and professional wrestling – in a surprising and exciting way. Over a period of six weeks, Hagy, along with “resident wrestler” Chris Hoyer and several other special guests, incorporated the world of professional wrestling into language arts lesson plans teaching the 96 fourth-graders how to develop and tell a good story. “We studied narrative writing and the elements of a story. We broke down the writing process by step and our experts in wrestling, who are experts in storytelling, broke down those steps in their world,” Hagy said. “We looked at models from the world of wrestling and used those to help us learn the steps of the writing process and become better, more descriptive writers.” But even beyond that already complicated task, Hagy worked with various teachers at Flat Rock to incorporate elements of public speaking, art, music, and even computer coding. Students created their characters, using descriptive language to determine how see HEROES, pg. 6
Glanden one of 10 in nation to receive librarian award By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – Powhatan High School librarian Melissa Glanden was announced last week as one of 10 winners in the nation of the I Love My Librarian Award. The American Library Association (ALA) announced on Tuesday, Dec. 10 that Glanden was being recognized for her leadership in her school and commitment to transforming lives. She and the other nine winners were chosen from 1,974 submissions from across the country of people wanting to honor the lasting contributions of librar-
ians working in public, school, college, community college and university libraries. A release from the ALA pointed to Glanden as “someone who seeks to convert students and teachers alike into staunch patrons of the school library” and “draws all types of users to the library, successfully influencing reluctant readers to develop a love of reading, learning and creating.” “Glanden’s work has transformed the Powhatan High School library. Her introduction of new technologies, a maker-space and dedicated zones within the library sparked an uptick in visits and
material circulation. Now, her nominators say, reluctant readers willingly visit the library to check out books for leisure reading. Students reading below level continue to build their reading skills by having access to teen-friendly materials such as Hi-Low books, novels in verse, graphic novels and manga,” according to the release. Glanden, who has worked as a librarian for PHS since 2017, said she learned about the award right before Thanksgiving and had to keep it a secret until last week. She admitted that until the official announcement, she almost expected to hear it was a joke

hen the Powered Up Powhatan n list starts taking shape, e, it
means not only finding new stops but checking back in with previous years’ participants. While it turned out that Tamaraa and Thomas Mor-gan’s former er home on Giles es Bridge Road, ad, which was on the he first list in 2017, 17, had gone dark, their new home on Academy Farms Road is lit up and providing the couple more space than ever to embrace decadent decorating. Tamara came by her love of overthe-top Christmas decorating honestly – her mother, Dana Ford is also on the list again. The pair go shopping together right after Christmas each year to buy discounted decorations to add to their yards and make them even brighter. The centerpiece of Tamara’s yard is a 20-foot strand Christmas tree surrounded by years worth of displays, including dinosaurs, a panda, deer, snowmen, a unicorn, Elmo, a llama, Cinderella’s carriage, nutcrackers, penguins, mice, various kinds of trees, geese, other wildlife, and much more. Thomas also strung lights up into the nearby woods to make shooting stars. Tamara said her goal was just to make the displays flow this year. The new house has a much larger yard to play with and she is reveling in it. At the same time, getting into the Christmas spirit this year was a little harder since she lost her maternal grand-
oundd down d a gravell road in southwest Powhatan off of Old Buckingham Road, the big appeal of R 1376 Old Franklin Road iis the length of time you gget to enjoy it. When Logan Franklin created his light show set to music for Christmas 2018, it had 12 songs synchronized to 9,300 LED lights (3,100 pixels). For 2019, he reallyupped his game with 24 songs and a show that lasts about one hour and 12 minutes. The light show, which runs from 6 to 10 p.m. daily, uses 43,830 LED lights (14,610 pixels) to make each song a special experience. Sharon Franklin was more than happy to brag on her son Logan’s achievement since he built the display himself with the help of his brother, Clay. “(Logan) has always been gifted in building. He built a 3-D printer, which built a lot of the pieces for this,� she said, gesturing to the light show. When people drive

Decorating didn’t make ers the loss any easier, she said, but since many of the displays were given to her by her grandmother, seeing them out has been a reminder of shared memories. Tamara said she wasn’t sure if they would be going all out on decorations again this year because of that loss, the move, and the fact that their new home is on a private road (she wanted to be respectful of the neighbors). “I warned everybody when we move here that we put up a lot of Christmas lights. They were like, ‘Yeah, we love it!’� she said with a grin. Still, she wanted to make the process as painless as possible. She asks people coming to see the lights to drive 15 mph not only in deference to the neighbors but because there are many deer in the area. She also tried to ease the way by making it so people could drive up a lit circle driveway both for ease of getting back out and so they can see the displays closer to the house. She asks that people not get out and walk among the displays because of the cords. The light display will be lit up nightly through New Years.

D.J. said in 2017 he still had thousands of lights in storage that didn’t make it onto the house, and even two years later, he is still building up his display. Quite a bit has been added to the house this year, both coming out of storage and new purchases, he said. He he added 4,000 lights alone to the house, as well as growing the number of yard displays. The family started decorating earlier this year so the lights could switch on the day after Thanksgiving, but D.J. said he was still adding items in the weeks that followed. Decorating was a family affair between the couple and their children, Ryleigh, 8,
T
and Dylan, 6. The dissplay is easilyy visible from m the road andd people mayy park and walk in the driveway, but not through the yard because of all of the cords, s, D.J. said. “The eventual plan is to make it more interactive as a walk-through display. But this year with all the cords, I don’t want anybody tripping,� he said. Many of the decorations are vintage blow molds and include a few Santas, elves, deer, snowmen, penguins, Disney characters, toy soldiers, and flamingos. Other interesting sights include a purple hippopotamus, Star Wars characters, and Santa hanging from the roof. “There is a huge Santa’s mailbox at the end of the driveway. There is a narwhal whale up at the
thatt my ddaughter ffrontt th ht is enamored of. There is a panda bear hanging out of my tree that was added this year,� he said. D.J. said one of his wife’s favorite displays is a mouse riding in a sleigh pulled by a pig – an ode to her grandmother, who died several years ago but always loved decorating for Christmas with mice. “Her grandmother always had a mouse tree for Christmas, so any time we see mice at Christmas it makes us think of her grandmother,� he said. The lights will be on display through New Years.

what are the needs – what are the student needs, what are the faculty needs, what are the school’s needs, how is the culture going for the library? That is always in the forefront. It is not what I want for the program, it is what we need for the school with the program,� Glanden said. “It is kind of exhausting when you read it and think, ‘Wow, we are doing a lot of stuff aren’t we?’� Glanden and the other award winners will each receive a $5,000 cash prize, a plaque and a trav-

el stipend to attend the I Love My Librarian Award ceremony in Philadelphia on Jan. 25, 2020, during ALA’s Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits. The event will be streamed via Facebook Live at https://www. facebook.com/AmericanLibraryAssociation/. Glanden said her family plans to attend the conference to watch her receive the award. She and her husband plan to use the prize money to take their children to Yellowstone National Park. Dr. Mike Massa, principal, said the recommendation was easy for the administration team to write because Glanden does such amazing things for the school. “She does so many unique and innovative things that really meet the spirit of what we do here in the county. It was a very easy letter to write. In fact, the biggest challenge was to get as much in as we could without it being 20 pages long,� Massa said with a laugh. In the recommendation, the administration called Glanden an “evangelibrarian� who seeks to convert students and teachers alike to be staunch patrons of the school library, and “who is committed to developing and innovating all aspects of the library program, spreading the word far and wide to reach every learner in the school community and draw them in to develop a love of reading, learning, and making!� Glanden and Smartschan made great
“strides in changing the climate and culture of the library that drew teachers and students to the space in a way that we had not seen in recent years.� PHS is comprised of 1,430 students and 103 classroom teachers. In Glanden’s first year as librarian, the library saw a 37 percent increase of before-school student visits, 40 percent increase of Indian Time visits, 32 percent increase of lunch visits, and a 15 percent increase in total visitors, according to the administration’s recommendation. The next year saw a 90 percent increase in before-school visits over her first year, a 49 percent increase in Indian Time visits, a 23 percent increase in lunch time visits, and a 51 percent increase in total visits with over 23,847 library visits, not including event, workshop, and class visit numbers. Circulations also increased 14 percent between school years 2017 and 2018. In school year 2018, there were 585 learning activities with classes that resulted in over 14,000 class visitors not included in previously mentioned numbers. The extensive nomination also highlighted activities such as working with Powhatan County Public Library to bring a STEAM activity to local preschoolers; partnering with the school’s carpentry classes to implement free little libraries within the community; spearheading the Powhatan Community Makers proj-
ect with the Diverse Hands at Work Club and the National Arts Honor Society to honor four nominees who have made a difference in the community with student-created portraits and studentled interviews; developing innovative lessons with teachers who have never really tapped into library resources or support before; initiating converting the librarian’s office over to a makerspace, and addressing the need for HiLow books, novels in verse, graphic novels, and a manga section to meet the needs of students reading below level. Through a collaboration with the school’s English classes, Glanden conducted reader surveys and delivered bookcarts filled with materials based on students’ interests, reading styles and attitudes. The carts included books with LGBTQ+ themes and multicultural characters to ensure that all students could see themselves reflected in the materials. “Mrs. Glanden is wellrespected among her colleagues and loved by her students. Many students have found a place in the makerspace and library when they’ve previously not felt they had a connection to the school community. The makerspace and library culture is one that allows students to breathe and sometimes reset their day,� the recommendation read. Glanden has been an educator for 19 years. She has worked as a school li-
brarian sicne 2013, with previous posts at Hungary Creek Middle School, Arthur Ashe, Jr. Elementary School, and Elephant’s Fork Elementary School. She was also a classroom teacher from 1999 to 2008, working in various grades at schools in Suffolk and Accomack in Virginia and in Pennsylvania. Glanden has previously earned various awards as an educator, including the title of Rising Star at the conclusion of her first year at PHS; the Virginia Association of School Librarians 2016 Library Program of the Year for programs at Arthur Ashe, Jr. Elementary School, and winning Teacher of the Year at two of her previous schools. Glanden said that she sees the school library as a resource for teachers looking for more support with changing up instruction and a safe place for students of all interests and skill levels to make a connection. “When I grew up, my grandmother was super creative and I like to bring that to the table. Get the kids thinking, get the kids making, get the kids creating something that they have chosen to create, that they have goals for, that is not just a cookie cutter assignment for everybody,� she said. “All told, coming to the library, I just want this to be their space. This is their comfortable space.� Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

The Winter Wipeout professional wrestling show held Dec. 7 at Powhatan High School was the culmination of several weeks of classroom work revolving around storytelling completed by Flat Rock Elementary fourth-graders. Resident wrestler Chris Hoyer, shown bottom left, and other guests visited the students’ classrooms and used the elements of professional wrestling to help students improve their narrative skills.
HEROES Continued from pg. 1
they would look and act and wrote stories about a match of their own design. They created a luchador mask for their characters, whose images were printed on t-shirts in art class and worn by the students to the Winter Wipeout. Students studied how music could advance a plot and change the tone of a story, and some of them used animation and coding for their projects. Outside of the classroom, most of the school’s fourth-grade class participated at Winter Wipeout, with roles ranging from announcing wrestlers to acting as escorts or working concessions. Hagy said she wanted them to run the entire show. “I felt like a proud mom as I watched the students. They were so fearless in front of the crowd, and it was as if they had been performing in front of a crowd that large their entire life. They were absolute professionals. They took all of their roles so seriously, and knew that every job from ring announcing to playing music was important to the story,” she said.
Donning a mask When Hagy was grow-
ing up, she loved wrestling. She struggled in school, especially with reading, but when it came to wrestling, the largerthan-than-life characters, plots, conflict and resolution, and other elements just made sense to her. As a teacher, Hagy noticed that when she struggled to build a rapport with a student, the topic of wrestling sometimes helped ease the way. “They would come in the day after wrestling came on and we just talked. It became this bonding thing,” she said. “I thought maybe I should turn this into a whole writing project. (Partners for the Arts) were willing to listen to me and here we are.” After receiving the grant, Hagy collaborated with Hoyer, who wrestles under the ring name Lucas Calhoun, to get a more indepth look at wrestling and how it could be incorporated into a classroom setting. Hoyer became a regular for six weeks – visiting the different fourth-grade classrooms to help with the various lessons, give his perspective, and see how the students’ work was developing. “He was there every week for writing block. The kids really got to
know him. Some places have resident artists. He was our resident wrestler,” Hagy said. “He really turned into this great mentor and role model who was super supportive and wonderful with the kids and extremely creative and knowledgeable about writing and the elements of fiction.” Hoyer said he was on board as soon as Hagy told him about the project, calling it a “genius” idea. He started reaching out to contacts from his years producing and participating in wrestling shows in Virginia and found many other people from that world were receptive as well. “Professional wrestling is this really awesome art form that gets misrepresented sometimes. I think there is a lot of depth and a lot of possibility to professional wrestling,” Hoyer said. “So with something like this, where you are using it as a medium or way to communicate storytelling elements to kids, this is the absolute heart of professional wrestling. It is telling stories and figuring out how to accurately convey these stories and the emotions and the concepts you want to get across.” Creating the lesson plans was a matter of dis-
tilling the elements of wrestling down into relatable lessons, Hoyer said. For example, he used a wrestling promotional video as an example of a hook into a story. The promo featured professional wrestler Mark Henry announcing his retirement in front of John Cena, giving a heartfelt and emotional speech. But when Cena went in for a hug, Henry surprised him with a massive body slam and a renewed challenge that he was coming for Cena’s championship belt. “The reactions from the kids every single time we watched this promo was incredible. Every class that we were in, because it is a long lead up of Mark Henry being sad and talking about his family, the kids are invested in this and listening to him talk about his kids. Then as soon as that slam happens, everybody in the classroom was like, ‘Oh no, what happened?’ It was great,” Hoyer said with a chuckle. One of Hoyer’s favorite parts about being involved in the project was seeing the unique approaches the students took to their stories, characters, and artwork.
“When people who are in professional wrestling start thinking about characters or stories or what they want to do in pro wrestling, we tend to operate in these defined spaces of how we think about professional wrestling,” he said. “The thing that is great is the kids have none of that. They have no preconceived notions about what professional wrestling is or could be or should be, so they are just going with 100 percent creativity.” To offer a hint at what he is talking about, some of the characters that students created included Clown Baby, Hot Sauce, Flower Power, Dancer Angel, Firefox, Mountain Monster, Pyro, The Peacock, Electrizar, Fall Leaf, and Madison Fletcher. Fourth-grader Luke Estep’s character, The Fire Bird, looks scary but is actually a good person, he said. His character is “intelligent, knows a lot of moves, and has been training for a long time.” Luke said he loves wrestling and was excited to attend his first live show and meet the wrestlers. Wyatt Gould said he saw a wrestling movie with Scooby Doo and really liked it. He also en-
joys wrestling with his brother. So he liked it when his class studied wrestling, including the differences in the good and bad characters, the colors, and the names. His character, Skeleton Demon, is a tricky bad guy who pretends to be nice and hoodwinks people. Adelaide Blankenship’s character Firefox is a clever but sneaky villain who manages to get herself out of tough situations despite being small. Adelaide said she didn’t know anything about wrestling before she started learning about it in school but she really enjoyed herself and was excited to be one of the ring announcers at the Winter Wipeout show. “I really liked this project because you got to create your own character, your own story, and your own t-shirt, which is really cool in my opinion. … When you make your character, you can choose if it is going to be on the bad side or good side or sneaky or colorful. You can choose its mask. You can choose pretty much everything about the character,” she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.
Personal Responsibility Board hears update on possible calendar change Luke 8:15
“But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.” A curious doctrine throughout Protestant Christendom proclaims all mankind to be depraved and “…utterly indisposed,...to all good,…” (The Presbyterian Confession of Faith). Yet Jesus said the seed is the word of God and is sown on different soils (hearts). A heart can be without understanding, or shallow, or preoccupied with life’s distractions (Luke 8:11-14). Or it can be honest and good! We are the soil we decide to be. It is not decided for us. That’s good news! How’s your heart?

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board recently received another update on a proposed change to the school calendar for next year but will leave the decision of whether to make a change up to the new board in 2020. During the board’s meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 10, Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendent for instruction, gave another presentation about the question of the division’s start date. The school board is considering a staff proposal to start the school year two weeks early, beginning with the 2020-2021 school year. In July 2019, legislation went into effect that would allow divisions that haven’t already sought a waiver to start their school year up to two weeks prior to Labor Day. Those divisions that do choose to start early are required to be closed the Friday immediately preceding
Labor Day. Omohundro has been giving updates to the board for several months as the division gathered additional information to help them make their decision. The latest and potentially final update was to give the board the results of the annual calendar survey. Every year, parents are asked to choose between two calendar options. This year, one of those options featured a pre-Labor Day start date. This year’s survey received 2,131 responses, she said. Of those, 747 parents and 281 employees preferred the pre-Labor Day start, and 940 parents and 163 employees wanted the post-Labor Day start. The total result was 48.2 percent in favor of an early start and 51.8 percent in favor of starting after Labor Day. The board has said the survey will be one factor in their ultimate decision on the calendar, which will likely be voted on in January 2020.

Critical repair program is epitome of neighborliness By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – Finding black mold in my apartment was one of the scariest sights I had ever seen. Unbeknownst to me, the dishwasher had been leaking for some time and the water was coming through a counter wall that was backed on the other side by a bookshelf. One day, I had to move the bookcase for some reason and was horrified to discover black mold growing in the carpet underneath where it had stood and on the wall it had leaned against. Fortunately, I was able to immediately call the apartment complex office, which sent a handyman to assess the problem and to begin mitigating the situation. Other than a completely ruined bookcase that immediately was tossed out and some insecurities about whether it was really gone, the situation wasn’t as horrible as it could have been. I was reminded of that incident recently when I attended Habitat for Humanity – Powhatan’s annual meeting. Habitat is a great organization and I love what they do. Locally, the nonprofit has successfully built 13 homes and is currently working on the 14th house, which executive director Roseleen “Spud” Rick estimated should be done in the spring if the weather cooperates.
But as wonderful as their work building homes is, the main focus of the presentation about the accomplishments of this year was on the nonprofit’s critical repair program. As she said at the meeting, “When we build a house we help one family. When we do critical repairs … we help many more families.” Between July 1 and the annual meeting on Dec. 4, volunteers or contractors working with the nonprofit completed 21 critical repairs. The circumstances Spud described then and in a subsequent conversation were horrible. There was a grandmother taking care of her grandchild whose roof deteriorated to the point that it started to collapse. The retiree could not afford to repair her roof, so Habitat paid for the repairs (the nonprofit doesn’t fix roofs or major electricity issues). There was a woman with disabilities who only had one entrance into her house. Imagine how scared she must have been the day her front porch collapsed. She was living with a temporary fix of a piece of plywood over the hole until Habitat helped her. Worse, when volunteers got inside her house, they saw heating hazards and horrible weatherproofing issues that had to be addressed as well. There was an elderly woman with disabilities who called Habitat because she had black mold in her bathroom. Habitat had visited because she had be-
It’s the memories that keep me coming back By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
I always feel a hint of melancholy as a high school football season ends, especially when the final game falls just short of the ultimate goal of a state championship. If you think that sounds like the feelings of a sideline photographer/reporter who has been treated to an abundance of victories and just a handful of disappointments during nearly two decades of covering Goochland football, you’d be correct. Admittedly spoiled by consistent and consecutive extended postseason performances by the Bulldogs, this season seemed different when I travelled to Williamsburg to cover the first game. I made the trip days after cataract surgery and wasn’t sure how I’d perform, and things were decidedly out of focus for the first minutes of the contest. Similarly, it was unclear how the Bulldogs would handle their first Class 3 opponent. It was obvious that Goochland had again gathered a group of talented athletes, and, led by a dozen and a half or so seniors, the team’s potential was evident. But playing up in Class 3 football was new territory and the Bulldogs fell short in their opener. Sure, the loss was disappointing, but also provided a glimpse of what this year’s version of a tried and true style of football could achieve. The early season challenges continued at Buckingham, and the Bulldogs escaped Dillwyn with a tough win, and an attitude emerged from a group of players who refused to lose and committed to get better each
week. By midseason, even the naysayers knew Goochland was attaining powerhouse status, making short work of most of their opponents. For me, I was convinced after a trip to Greene County where the Bulldogs faced Blue Ridge in what must be one of the most beautiful settings for a high school football game imaginable. They made a statement in that idyllic setting. As the weeks progressed, the Bulldogs were reaching a late season level that convinced all who were close enough to notice that this team had the character and commitment to exceed all expectations for a team making its first appearance in Class 3 football postseason play. They left no doubt in the first round of the playoffs, dominated a tough opponent in round two, and won a regional championship on their third outing. What remained was a trip down Interstate 95 to take on what many described as an invincible opponent in Hopewell. Some of the predictions were gloomy. The prognosticators made the mistake of shortchanging and discounting the character of this team and its coaching staff. They didn’t realize what some described as luck or breaks were situations created by a tenacious group of Bulldogs that graciously accepted those miscues and promptly turned them in to touchdowns. That’s not luck, my friend, that’s talent. So, I was surprised to read one account of Saturday’s game that referred to Goochland’s first half domination of the Blue Devils as a series of bad breaks for the home team, and more a case of good luck for the visit-
ing Bulldogs. I didn’t see it that way. I saw a team that removed all doubt as to whether they belonged and led a state championship team for most of the game, finally losing to an all star effort by a talented group of Blue Devils. And, it’s not so much the loss that disappoints me. It’s that feeling of coming so close and what could have been for this group of deserving athletes,that sticks in the gut. They fought as hard as any group of Bulldogs I’ve covered to accomplish the results they achieved. In the end, reflecting on this season brought me to the realization that this team was special, a blend of experienced seniors and up-and-coming underclassmen and women who gelled to create a magical journey. Following the loss, Coach Alex Fruth told an emotional group of Bulldogs it was an honor to lead them this season, and reminded the team that this is not the toughest loss they’ll face as life progresses. He’s right. Sooner than they realize, the memories of this season will provide a sense of pride and accomplishment, and a snapshot of some of the happiest days of their lives will replace the disappointment on the bus ride home from Hopewell. Fruth also thanked his seniors who have, in four seasons, played about five seasons worth of football, achieved unparalleled success and continued a tradition of excellence for the Bulldogs. He reminded the returning players of something that remains, even after a tough loss — the hope and redemption of next season. Do you believe?

come disabled and needed a walk-in shower instead of a tub. A volunteer noticed the black mold she had been living with when he visited. Just a few of the critical repair applications the nonprofit has recently received include a woman with a horribly drafty house who owes Dominion Energy more than $2,500; a woman whose heat pump has gone out even as the weather gets colder, and a woman with recurring septic system problems. Spud said she currently has seven applications on her desk, and, of the people the organization helps, 75 percent of them are usually elderly, disabled, and live alone. And all of them live in Powhatan County. They are your neighbors. Spud said something else at the meeting that stuck with me. She said that the need in Powhatan is great, but so too is the capacity of people willing to help. With that in mind, I will simply point out that Habitat needs volunteers. If you can swing a hammer, are willing to learn how to swing a hammer, or can just follow directions while you work on a team, they can use you. Between critical repairs and the home building projects, they can use you to help people in need make sure they have a safe place to live. It’s neighborliness at its best.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Armed citizens are ‘necessary to the security of a free state’ Dear Editor, This letter is in response to Mike Asip's editorial on "Board of Supervisors acted on sanctuary status without gathering enough information.” Mike used "Red Flag Laws" and "Universal Background Checks" as the only examples of what the state democrats might do. He stated: "I did not hear one concrete example of how lawabiding citizens were going to lose their guns"! I'm sorry I wasn't there or maybe it would have been better to have the governor there, because he has stated what he wants. On the issue of banning assault weapons, Mary Louise Kelly asked Ralph Northam what he will do about the ones Virginians already possess. "Will you confiscate them?" Kelly asks. "No ma'am, not at this stage," Northam said, "We're looking at banning the sales of assault weapons ... that would be what we would start with." There has been talk about expanding the list of firearms
that could be included under the "assault rifle" label. Many of them are currently being used by hunters. The banning of magazines that hold more than 10 bullets. This is just the beginning, not the end! Northam, a former Army physician, said the eight bills he introduced in June are a starting point, adding "I'm sure there will be others introduced." What we are facing is an all-out assault on our constitutional rights. For every inch we give away, the liberals will be back for five more. I don't own an assault rifle, but I do own an AR-15, which I have told Senator Mark Warner many times, I want to keep it! Taking guns away from lawabiding citizens will do nothing to stop the violence. Leaving citizens defenseless against those who choose to break the laws is a crime of its own. Anyway, armed citizens are "necessary to the security of a free state!" Rick Mandarino Powhatan County
Football coach and his staff exhibited great leadership Dear Editor, Even though the Powhatan High School football season came to an end a few weeks ago, we thought it would be appropriate to give a shout out to the high school and its coaches and players, who made this an exciting football season. Under the leadership of Coach Mike Henderson and
his selected assistants, we have seen young men experience lessons in football but, more importantly, about life. Thank you Coach Henderson. We are looking forward to many more years of outstanding Powhatan High School football under your leadership. Linda and Fermen Lowe Powhatan County

Supervisors honor Eagle Scout By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently recognized local Boy Scout Aaron M. Hodge for achieving his Eagle Scout rank, the highest rank in Scouting. During the board’s meeting on Nov. 25, the supervisors unanimously approved a proclamation honoring Hodge for his achievement. Hodge is a member of Boy Scouts of America Troop 498 and the son of Barry and Mary Hodge of Powhatan, who stood with him as David Williams, District 1, read the proclamation in their son’s honor. Aaron Hodge successfully completed all requirements for achieving Scouting’s Eagle rank on Aug. 9 by earning 21 merit badges and implementing skills in a troop leadership position. In addition, he fulfilled the requirement of all Eagle candidates of planning, developing and directing a major community service project through its entire completion. For his Eagle Project, Hodge spent more than 700 hours fundraising for, building, installing, and constructing two garden arbor benches for the Memorial to the Unborn at Mount Calvary Cemetery in Richmond. He raised almost $2,000 for the project and organized and oversaw it from start to finish. Hodge earned a total of 33 merit badges, attended two High-Adventure Bases, and has been in leader-

ship roles since 2014. During the meeting, Bill Melton, District 4, commended Hodge and told him his accomplishment would stay with him his entire life and show that he can set a goal and achieve it. Williams, who has known Hodge most of his life, said it has been special to watch the young man grow up, recalling how he participated in 4-H, played in the creek on his property, and learned to hunt. “He is an exceptional young man and he is going to have an exceptional future,” Williams said. Hodge thanked the board for the honor and acknowledgement. He said the project, which took almost a year to complete, had some ups and downs, but “with the help and training from Boy Scouts, I was able to achieve the goal of Eagle, and, like Mr. Melton said, it will stay with me the rest of my life. I appreciate all the people who have helped me along the way.”

THANK YOU You have honored me by choosing me to represent Powhatan’s 5th District (as well as all the people of Powhatan) for the last twelve years. I thank you for your invariable courtesy, for your trust, for your advice and opinions, including those where we didn’t see eye-to-eye. I also thank our staff, which has been supportive and gracious; the Constitutional officers and their staffs; our state legislators, who have always been responsive and supportive; the School Board and staff; the hundreds of Powhatan residents who have accepted appointed positions or volunteered to serve on Commissions, Committees, and Work Groups; and especially my peers, past and present, from whom I have learned much. I have, over my 50 years in management and leadership positions—educational, private industry, public sector, volunteer/charitable—thought much about the nature and behaviors required of managers and leaders. This ongoing analysis and reflection has resulted in the aspirational credo (still a work-inprogress) I share with you below and which, I hope, has largely guided my actions, behaviors, and decisions. Truly, there is a time for almost everything under heaven. 1.
MANAGEMENT: DUE DILIGENCE
A time to dismantle And a time to build up A time to spend And a time to refrain from spending A time to question every last detail and demand more data And a time to use discernment and take action A time to demand accountability from others And a time to confront the face in the mirror There is a time to be critical of others And a time to be grateful for others’ intentions and attempts A time to discipline others And much more time to discipline self A time to run a business And a time to consider for whom the business exists A time to be cocksure And a time to question your assumptions and even your motivations . . . indeed, a time for humility 2.
LEADERSHIP: SHOWING THE WAY
There is a time as a manager to speak of caution, And a time as a leader to speak of hope . . . And a time to realize that this is not a forced, either-or choice A time to be parochial And a time to be visionary A time for passion And a time for calm thoughtfulness There is a time for the manifestation of a dominant personality And a time to sequester it and allow the forthcoming of our better angels A time to reflect on the past And a time to dream of a better world A time to debate And a time to just deliberately listen There is a time for spirited brawling And a time for statesmanlike dignity and gravitas A time to adhere to a specific ideology And a time to engage in higher-order thinking A time to sourly moan, “ain’t it terrible?” And a time to put negativity in its place, a time to say, “we have here another opportunity to improve things” A time to consider the glass half empty And times to use however full the glass is as a jumping-off point for greater endeavors A time to stand alone, defiant And a time to join the team A time, infrequently, to bemoan what is and has been And a time to joyfully create what can be 3.
CARING: LETTING THE HEART HAVE A SAY
A time to engage your brain And a time to consult your heart Never a time to wake up in the morning and choose rancor for your heart But rather to wake to the joy of serving the people—all of them Always time to be slow to take offense, And always readiness for reconciliation A time to be outraged and cry out in indignation And a time to be forgiving Never a time to be contemptuous of others But rather much time for paying dignified attention A time to be angry And a time to swallow your pride There is a time for forbearance and unconditional kindness, Even in the face of spite and hostility A time to take things personally And a time to choose perspective and forgiveness A time to be clever And a time to be caring A time to mourn And a time to celebrate Rarely a time for meanness-of-spirit masquerading as righteousness, And always a time for uncomplicated kindness A time to stand on principle And a time to wake to the realization that others have legitimate principles, too A time to serve And a time to step aside for others to serve A time to regret And a time to find joy A time to stand up And a time to stand down A time to meet And a time to go home Madame Chairwoman, I move to adjourn.

BSH boys basketball remains unbeaten By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor RICHMOND - When the second half opened, Jacob Phillips couldn’t miss. After Grove Christian School went down 3224 at the half, the sophomore captain poured in a trio of three-pointers to propel his Falcons into a 35-34 lead over the visiting Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights. Robbie Kurtz didn’t let them stay there long. “I know we needed to fire back and stop the run,” Kurtz said. “I was just looking to score any way I could.” The senior quickly got an open shot and knocked down the long three-pointer to push his Knights right back to the front. They never gave up the lead again. A fiery 15-point second-half surge from Zander Nadeau complemented Kurtz’ incendiary 41-point night, and BSH routed Grove Christian 78-45 on Monday, Dec. 9. And just as he helped his team open the 3-game week strong, Kurtz helped his Knights end it with
a bang. With his Knights trailing VCC rival Tidewater Academy near the end of regulation on Friday, Dec. 13, Kurtz knocked down a half-court shot to tie the game and send it into overtime. Juniors Henry Kiefer and Ben Newton then knocked down huge shots in the extra period to help BSH fend off the Warriors 72-68 for a 5-0 start to the 2019-20 season going into the long holiday break. “Great team win!” said head coach Chris Hamner. “Very proud of my entire team! Top to bottom everyone contributed.” Kurtz on Friday double-doubled with 32 points and 14 rebounds, Newton made 15 points and 7 assists and senior Raymond Avery netted 11 points. For Tidewater Academy, Jose Griffin made 21 points; Anthony Bendrick netted 18. Earlier in the week on Monday, BSH went head-to-head with Grove Christian through a competitive first-half before rocketing away on a 22-point run across the third and fourth quarters.

Indians win first home dual By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor Multi-sport athlete Andrew Cheatham had a rough first month of wrestling practice. He didn’t really turn around as fast as he wanted to, his head coach Jonathan Tanaka said. But when the regular season opened
for the sophomore and his Powhatan wrestling teammates in the form of a five-match invitational at New Kent High School, Cheatham definitely turned it around. He rallied from an early loss to LeeDavis to end the invite on four straight wins in his 145 weight class. All four wins were by pins.
RICHMOND – After a tough 56-17 season-opening loss to Central Virginia Homeschool the previous Wednesday, the coaches’ message to the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights was to remain positive. They also tried to focus on the positive things they did do in that opener and build on those positives. Five days later, the Knights rolled out a 25-0 lead a little ways into the second quarter and commanded the rest of their game to win 56-14 over hosting Grove see BSH GBB, pg. 2B

Rather scores 16 in setback Staff Reports
The young Powhatan boys basketball team continued to grow together through another challenging week, taking on Dominion District opponents L.C. Bird and Midlothian at home. The Indians on Wednesday, Dec. 11 fell to the Skyhawks 56-32. The Indians were led in scoring by Logan Wyatt,
who netted 13 points. Brylan Rather was behind Wyatt with 9. Powhatan on Friday, Dec. 13 was defeated by the Trojans 59-42. While Wyatt and LJ Alston scored 10 points each, it was Rather’s turn to break-out as he netted a team-leading 16 points. The Indians will look to break-through in the wins column on Dec. 26 (6 p.m.) versus Douglas Freeman at Glen Allen High School.
Christian. One thing head coach Phil Villiott has found is that his players need more confidence, and their efforts and victory on Monday helped them towards that goal. “I know that they can do it,” Villiott said. “But they’ve got to believe that they’ve got to be able to do it.” Ninth grader Madelyn Mitchell rebounded well on both ends of the floor and led the way on offense with 18 points. She netted the first two points of the game on a putback, then senior teammate Elizabeth Carter caught fire on both sides of the ball and piled on 9 points before first quarter’s end. Carter finished with 15 points. Eighth grader Hailey Holcombe made 10 points and shot 4/4 from the line, and senior Katie Schiefer netted 6 points. The Knights defended aggressive early on, going for steals as Carter’s takeaway led to Schiefer sending the ball up and through the hoop in transition for a 4-0 lead. Carter on the full-court press also freed the ball out of an opposing player’s grasp and ensured that it went into Sidney McMinn’s hands. McMinn passed it back to Carter,

who proceeded to net the next two baskets, including one that saw her dash in between defenders and to the hoop unguarded. The Knights won jumpballs, capitalized on turnovers and honed in on rebounding missed shots by Grove Christian that arched wide over the net. Second chances were plentiful off the glass for the Knights’ offense. Villiott said they have team goals every game – for example, starting off with the first three games, they were looking to get 5 offensive rebounds, then build on that by going for 7 the next game. The Knights also went into Monday’s contest with the goal of holding Grove Christian to under 45 points.
“It’s been my experience over the years that… if you can reach those goals, more than likely you’re going to win,” Villiott said. With an eye to the future and three of the team’s leaders – Carter, Schiefer and McMinn – set to graduate in June 2020, Villiott spoke to trying to get the younger players as much experience on the court as possible. After the Knights rocketed out to a 21-0 first-quarter hillclimb, they began working their subs into the rotation, enabling multiple players to come off the bench and get looks as well as take shots at the basket. One of those players, 8th grader Charlie Potter, landed a three-pointer from the

Powhatan’s Andrew Cheatham, seen working to bring down a Varina opponent on Dec. 7 at the Indians’ season-opening invite at New Kent High School, has won five straight matches, all by pin, including once in Tuesday’s home opener when he pinned his Dinwiddie opponent in 28 seconds.
WRESTLING Continued from pg. 1B
Mary Baldwin. Andrew wasn’t on the mat long. He made sure of that himself when he pinned his Dinwiddie opponent in 28 seconds. Cheatham’s win by pin was one of four made by the Powhatan Indians, who won Tuesday’s home dual, 41-25 over the visiting Generals. Tanaka enjoyed getting to see the crowd that came out to support the wrestlers at Powhatan’s first home meet, and he said it was good to see Gavin Timmons (132) and Hans Rehme (170) back on the mat. Timmons, one of Powhatan’s returning state qualifiers, controlled his first regular-season match early before pinning Quentin Mankin. Rehme, also taking on his first match of 2019-20, surrendered an early takedown to Chris Parham, but cut into his early lead with an escape, then got a hold of his leg before taking him down to the mat for two go-ahead points. Rehme kept up the pressure to pin Parham less than a minute into
the second period. Just as Timmons did in the match before him, sophomore Cade Van Buskirk (138) took command of his match early, riding tough on top before pinning Logan Henley 35 seconds into the second period. Returning state qualifier Linwood Hill (195) racked up seven takedowns and sprinkled in a couple of near-falls plus an escape to defeat Ben Pfister by technical fall. Hayden Fitzsimmons squared up against 2019 state placer in Jovante Hobbs in the 182 weight class; Fitzsimmons rallied from going down 4-3 to get an escape and a takedown with less than 40 seconds remaining in the third period. But Hobbs pulled off a reversal moments before the period ended to tie the match at 6-6. The two wrestlers battled through three extra periods and two injury timeouts for Fitzsimmons, but Hobbs, achieving an escape in the third overtime stretch, narrowly won it 7-6. Despite the loss, Tanaka praised Ftizsimmons’ performance against the standout wrestler from Dinwiddie.
“Hopefully that’s a good sign to him that he’s on the right track - and then just keep training, keep doing what he’s doing,” Tanaka said of Fitzsimmons. “Really good match for him - very, very impressed with him...Hayden went in there and battled...” Wins by forfeit for Powhatan went to Kieran Hathaway (106), Dylan Coward (113) and Adam Camp (160). Sean Hall (126), who along with Fitzsimmons went 5-0 in the season-opening invite, tweaked his leg a little bit; his coaches held him out of Tuesday’s dual as a precaution. Hall is expected back for the tournament at Lee-Davis, which will be held the weekend of Dec. 19-20. Tanaka said Micah Holt (220) - who hurt his head when his opponent used an illegal move at the invite at New Kent, and therefore won his only match that day by technical forfeit - is slowly coming around; he’s doing a little better, Tanaka noted, and he is in good spirits. There’s no timetable for when he will return, but the Powhatan Indians look forward to getting him back on the mat as soon as they are able to.
tian. “They’ve got a big man that...kind of beat us up on the boards (rebounds) in the first half, kept them in the game, then finally once my big guys said, ‘Okay, we’re gonna rebound,’ then it was kind of a different story.” Until the Knights started firing on all cylinders, Kurtz helped keep the team together, scoring 22 of the team’s 32 first-half points and making the Knights’ first 9 of the third quarter. He hit a three to give his team a 10-9 lead in the first, converted two steals into layups off of fastbreaks and had the assist on Kiefer’s early three-pointer from behind the upper-right curve of the arc. “When he’s knocking down shots, he’s really hard to guard,” Hamner said of Kurtz. “Senior leadership came through when we needed it to.” But once sophomore Zander Nadeau in the third quarter received senior teammate Avery’s pass and hit the two-pointer off the glass, the Knights unit as a whole hit full-throttle. Avery soon drained a three-pointer to lift BSH into a 10-point lead, and Kurtz drove to the hoop for two to kickstart the Knights’ wild run of points. Kiefer landed a block to give himself possession, then got set up at the line where he made a point. He soon hit two off an inbound pass. Nadeau, who began hauling in the boards, racked up six straight points on a drive, a putback and another assist from Av-
right-handed corner shortly before halftime. Junior Alyssa Shively netted a pair of buckets late in the game. Grove Christian was held scoreless in the fourth quarter. BSH (3-1) proceeded to rout The New Community School 56-12 on Tuesday, Dec. 10 behind 18 points from Mitchell, 10 from Schiefer and 9 from Holcombe, and Tidewater Academy 4719 on Friday, Dec. 13 to sweep the week. Mitchell racked up 20 points on Friday; she was followed by Holcombe with 10 points and Carter and Schiefer with 6 each. The Knights get a 3-week break before hosting Brunswick Academy on Jan. 6, 2020 at 6 p.m.
ery to end the third. He stayed hot with a threepointer near the top of the fourth, and he ended the night with 17 points. “He was getting every rebound, he just played like an absolute monster,” Hamner said of Nadeau, “which is what we need to upset some guys down the road.” Kurtz double-doubled with 41 points and 14 rebounds and added 6 assists. Avery chipped in 9 points, adding a fourth-quarter layup after he intercepted a pass for the steal. Kiefer finished with 8 points; he made his last 2 from the line right after he crashed into the wall upon getting fouled. “If you have a bad night, someone’s going to pick you up, and it’s great, because we can spread it around and we have multiple options,” Kurtz said. “They can’t just key on one guy...” For Grove Christian, Phillips netted 15 points, sophomore Zion James scored 13 and senior captain Kenny Elliott made 12. Against The New Community School on Tuesday, Dec. 10, Kurtz doubledoubled with 27 points and 14 rebounds as the Knights won in resounding fashion, 71-33. Avery poured in 24 points. The Knights get a 3-week break before playing at Brunswick Academy on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2020, 7 p.m. “To be 5-0 going into Christmas break was one of my guys’ goals,” Hamner said, “and I’m very proud that they accomplished it!”

ented defense that helped Powhatan High School’s varsity football team secure a memorable 2-0 victory over Midlothian, a 21-20 come-from-behind thriller over Clover Hill, a 46-8 rout over George Wythe and a 24-0 shutout of James River. Battle was a defensive standout and leader on both the offensive and defen-
sive lines, Hawkins had a breakout performance in his first season as a kicker, and both players contributed to the BSH Knights’ second consecutive winning season (6-4). The Big River Rivalry All-Star football game will take place on Saturday, Dec. 21, 12 noon at Randolph-Macon College.
Henderson, Terry net 16 each in loss to Midlothian Staff Reports Sophomores Kayla Terry and Faith Henderson each netted 16 points in Powhatan girls basketball’s Dec. 12 loss to Midlothian, 60-50. Henderson doubledoubled with 16 rebounds. Senior Michala Taylor made 8 rebounds. Twice the Indians rallied to cut the Trojans’ doubledigit advantage down to two possessions. Down 24-12 in the second quarter, Taylor made her first of two free throws and saw her second attempt get rebounded and put-back by freshman Erin Almond; senior Reese Vandell hit a long three-pointer to cap the 6-0 run. With less than 1:11 to play in the fourth quarter, Terry hit a clutch three in a 5-1 stretch sparked by Henderson hitting two on a fastbreak to cut the Trojans’ lead down to 6. But Midlothian put the game away in the closing moments with four points from the free throw line. Powhatan earlier in the week on Dec. 10 lost to L.C. Bird 60-40. Henderson delivered 19 points and Vandell made 11.
