OWHATAN – Several Powhatan County residents were spread out among the estimated 22,000 people who recently gathered in the state capital as part of a nonviolent protest of gun control legislation. The rally, which was held on Monday, Jan. 20 in downtown Richmond, drew people not only from around Virginia but outside of the state who wanted to let lawmakers know they feel legislators’ promises of new
gun control legislation are a violation of their Second Amendment rights. Governor Ralph Northam had declared a state of emergency in advance of the expected
demonstrations on Capitol Square, citing law enforcement intelligence identifying “credible threats of violence surrounding the event” and plans for white nationalists and out-of-state mili-
tia groups to attend. But as the freezing day dawned, Powhatan residents who attended the rally said it instead was a peaceful show of solidarity by a diverse see PROTEST, pg. 3

POWHATAN – The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was once again celebrated in Powhatan with a program of musical performances, spoken word, and awards honoring the achievements of local young people. At least 400 people attended the ninth annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Day Community Breakfast held Jan. 20 at Powhatan High School. This year, the event’s theme, “Peace Begins with Me,” was conveyed by the more than 100 young people who participated through musical performances, skits, and as mentees in the program, said

PCPS to receive electric buses from Dominion By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – Powhatan County Public Schools has been chosen as one of 16 localities around the state to receive electric school buses as part of a Dominion Energy grant. By the end of 2020, PCPS is expected to add two electric school buses to its fleet, which at this point runs on diesel fuel, said Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent. The expectation is that the electric school buses will help reduce the division’s carbon footprint while also lowering maintenance costs on those vehicles. Jones informed the Powhatan County School Board at its Jan. 14 meeting that staff had received word earlier that day of being awarded the grant. More information is still coming and there will be a cost to the county that has to be finalized, but the initial news of winning the grant was met with great enthusiasm. “We are excited about this new technology and another step with us going green and hopefully saving some money in the long run through this new technology,” Jones said. The initial phase of the electric school bus deployment aims to have 50 buses fully operational within Dominion Energy's Virginia service territory by the end of 2020, according to a release from the company. Phase two of the project, with state
approval, would expand the program to bring 1,000 electric school buses online by 2025. Phase three would set the goal to have 50 percent of all diesel bus replacements be electric by 2025 and 100 percent by 2030. "We are excited to move forward with our commitment to bringing the benefits of electric school buses to the customers and communities we serve," said Dominion Energy chairman, president and CEO Thomas F. Farrell II. "This is an innovative, sustainable solution that will help the environment, protect children's health, make the electric grid stronger, and free up money for our schools." Dominion pointed out that replacing diesel-powered school buses with electric school buses will have a positive impact on the environment and improve air quality since an electric bus produces zero emissions. Replacing a diesel bus with an electric bus is the equivalent of taking 5.2 cars off the road. If fully implemented, by 2025, the program would be the equivalent of removing more than 5,000 cars and their carbon dioxide emissions from the road per year. PCPS usually pays about $94,073 for a 65-passenger diesel school bus, said Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations. The division’s goal is to replace buses on a 10- to 12see ELECTRIC pg. 4

Central Virginia Arts will present a lecture by Sean Kane entitled “Pencil and Powder: Combat Artists of the Civil War” at 3 p.m. at the Atkinson Museum at Hampden-Sydney College. The lecture is free and open to the public. During the Civil War the art of photography was still in its infancy. The long exposure times meant that cameras were unable to capture movement and photos could not be reproduced in the newspaper. The job of providing the public with images of battle and camp life fell to brave men known as Special Artists. These newspapermen called themselves the “Bohemian Brigade,” and with pencil, crayon and brush they produced firsthand depictions of the American Iliad. This lecture will shine light on the adventurous lives of such Special Artists as Winslow Homer, Alfred Waud, and Frank Vizetelly and the methods used to bring

Many have an impression that there is a lack of diversity in events like this, and that is not what Joe Ordia, who is black, said he saw at all. “As far as the rally goers, I would say they spanned the entire gamut – black, white, young old. There were people there in their teens and early 20s and there were people there in their 60s and 70s – all Second Amendment advocates and liberty advocates. That really was great to see

decision of whether to go. He decided that morning before the rally because he wanted to help send the message to elected officials that citizens don’t want them infringing on their rights. During the rally, Pinnell said he saw no signs of racist attitudes on display and was happy to witness people of many races represented. “I guess they got the message that they are not welcome. We are a peaceloving, freedom loving people. We don’t need people like that around. I am assuming they got that message. I am glad I didn’t see anything like that there,” he said.
as well,” he said. Jeremiah May of Powhatan traveled downtown with a group of individuals from all over the state and chose to stay with them outside of the gate. He said he went armed because he felt those going through security were essentially going into a kind of “kill box” and needed armed individuals outside as a precaution. Because of the worries about extremist groups attending the event, May said he prepared himself ahead of time and spent the first few hours on high alert. But he said he was there from 6:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and never saw any signs of that kind of trouble. At most he saw people carrying the “Don’t Tread on Me” flags and two individuals carrying the Confederate battle flag, but he also saw signs related to the Black Lives Matter movement and an LGBTQ rainbow “Don’t Treat on Me” flag. “We stood shoulder to shoulders, smiled and shook hands. It was absolutely nothing what the media made it all out to be. … We genuinely came together as a unit, as whole, and united. I was so happy and so pleased to be a part of the history we made

that day,” he said. Despite his satisfaction with the event, May pointed out this was only one step in the process of trying to protect Virginians’ constitutional rights. He hopes it will “cause a ripple effect throughout the country to where we can get our Second Amendment back to where it was originally intended.” “I personally feel any and all gun laws are against the constitution, to include any licensing for fully automatic weapons for suppressors, bump stock bans – I think all of it goes against what our Founding Fathers originally intended the Second Amendment for,” May said. Laura Matherly of Powhatan traveled to the rally with a group of 29 people, including her husband, Scott, and son, Chase, and several others from Powhatan. The group hired a private bus that dropped them off at about 7 a.m. and she and part of the group stayed together outside the gate for several hours. Leading up to the event, Matherly said it felt like people who intended to attend the rally were being portrayed as troublemakers and there were worries that gun control proponents might show up to agitate the situation and get them to
lose their cool. “We weren’t really worried about it. We control our pistols. We control our weapons. So when we got there and it was peaceful, we kept looking for the opposition and we were looking for the people that were going to be there in large amounts screaming at us, and they weren’t there,” she said. The images that stuck with her from the event ran the gamut, especially in the nonverbal messages she saw. She remarked on seeing men and women in full gear who were silent and respectful. She saw a black man wearing a sweatshirt that read “Black Guns Matter.” Some of the signs and shirts were vulgar or unnecessary. Many were in support of Trump 2020. But there was also an “Asian lady holding up a sign saying ‘Do I look like a white supremacist to you?’ ” “I am just glad we were able to truly express that we are not out for violence, we are not out for trouble. It is not a gun thing. It is a human rights thing. We founded this country with our ability to have a Second Amendment right to bear arms,” Matherly said.

chose to stay outside of the gate. Even though he decided not to carry a weapon, he didn’t like how people were “corralled in there.” Sharing the streets with thousands of people openly carrying weapons, he said he “probably felt safer than I have ever felt in my life. I felt extremely safe.” Leading up to the day, a great deal of negative rhetoric surrounded the rally about possible white supremacists groups hijacking the event, and Pinnell said his natural caution warred with his understanding of the unreliability of hype in his

group of people united in their desire to stand up for their constitutional rights. Powhatan resident Rachel Ordia attended the rally with her husband, Joe, and the couple was among the roughly 6,000 people who chose to go through a security check so they could get closer to the Virginia Capitol. As part of the governor’s state of emergency declaration, all weapons, including firearms, were prohibited from the Capitol grounds. Ordia said she is the constitutionalist in her family and had been planning to attend the rally for more than two months. She feels the United States is different for a reason and she doesn’t understand why people are trying “to make it like other parts of the world.” “I think the Constitution is a beautiful thing and it needs to be protected,” she said. With the political shift in the General Assembly that came with the last election, Joe Ordia said he feels his Second Amendment rights have come under increasing attack recently. He wanted to support the various Second Amendment and patriot groups attending the rally and “let our lawmakers know that we are not going to put up with any type of unconstitutional attempts to disarm the citizens.” “I think we sent a strong message to the General Assembly and to the governor that Virginians are not going to put up with having our Second Amendment rights trampled on. I hope that message was well received,” he said. “This is one of those things that it really is woven into the DNA of America, this idea that the individual citizen’s right to keep and bear arms is the ultimate check and balance against government abuse of power, and I think it is something we need to keep and something we need to preserve for the heart and soul of the country.” Overall, Rachel Ordia said she had mixed emotions about the rally. Whether it was the officers on duty or her fellow protestors walking the streets, she said everyone was respectful and friendly. If people bumped into each other in the packed streets, they said “excuse me” and were understanding. But as friendly as the people were, she said the atmosphere created by the security measures that had been set up around the Capitol building made it “feel like we were in a different country.” “There were barricades everywhere and there were empty dump trucks that were blocking streets. Honestly, if there had been a fire or something like an earthquake had happened, it would have probably been a very dangerous situation. There was really nowhere to go. You couldn’t take one step without bumping into somebody,” she said. J.T. Pinnell of Powhatan said he attended the rally with a friend and

County seeks input on SMART Scale Contributed Report SMART Scale is a statewide competitive funding program for transportation projects in Virginia. It is about picking the right transportation projects for funding and ensuring the best use of limited tax dollars. Transportation projects are scored based on an objective process that is transparent to the public and allows decision makers to be held accountable to taxpayers. Once projects are scored and prioritized, the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) has the best information possible to select the right projects for funding. Application rounds open every two years, and as Powhatan County begins the fourth round of SMART Scale, the public is invited to participate in developing Powhatan’s next set of applications. In prior rounds, Powhatan has been successful in receiving millions in state funding without having to commit local taxpayer dollars. These projects include the recently-completed widening of Route 711, intersection improvements to Huguenot Springs/Woolridge Road
at Route 711 (which is currently in the right-of-way acquisition phase), and improvements to Judes Ferry Road at Route 60 (engineering and design to begin soon). To kick off the fiscal year 2022 SMART Scale program, Powhatan County is holding a public Open House meeting from 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3 in Powhatan County Public Library’s conference room, located at 2270 Mann Road, Powhatan, VA 23139. A similar meeting was held in 2018 as part of the last round, and feedback received from the public was instrumental in developing local applications. Public feedback resulted in one successful application, with $2.4 million in funding allocated to planned improvements at the Judes Ferry Road/Route 60 intersection. Powhatan County and VDOT staff will be available at the meeting to answer any questions. If you cannot attend the meeting but are interested in learning more, contact interim county administrator Bret Schardein at bschardein@powhatanva.gov or 804-598-3639.

Caution
1 John 4:1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.� Apostles John, Peter and Paul are in agreement. There are teachers, sometimes in religions (though not always) who mislead people. There are at least three characteristics of a false prophet to recognize. 1) they promote doctrines and religions pointing people away from the truth of God, the Bible and Jesus, 2) they promote all types of sexual immorality, and 3) they make themselves very wealthy by their deceitful work.

G OV E R N M E N T B R I E F S Powhatan County Administration shared a January 2020 update that recapped some of the big moments and accomplishments across the county government in 2019 and shared plans for 2020. Among the updates were the accomplishments of Powhatan County Public Library. The library was filled with hustle and bustle throughout the holiday season. By the end of November, more than 80 letters of thanks to military service members were collected from library patrons who ranged in age from children up through senior citizens. Letters will be sent to the organization “Support Our Troops� and will reach active duty service members. A holiday open house event at the library on Friday, Dec. 6 welcomed 240 community members, including Santa Claus (Ron Despain of Powhatan), who was on hand for photo opportunities. An ornament crafting station was available, and patrons enjoyed cookies and cocoa provided by the Friends of the Powhatan
ELECTRIC
Library. In addition, 25 participants created holiday wreaths at a greenery workshop cosponsored by the Powhatan Extension Office and the Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardeners. Eighteen library patrons enjoyed the December session of Library For All, the library’s club for adults with special needs, with a holiday film and craft. On Dec. 9, 33 community members attended the library’s holiday edition of BINGO to play the game and visit with friends while enjoying refreshments provided by the Friends of the Library. Registration continues for “1,000 Things Before Kindergarten� at the library and staff is nearing 50 registrants. Seven participants have now reached the “100 things� threshold of the program, two have reached the 200 level, and one has made it all the way to 300. Children who have not yet entered kindergarten may register for this program and earn a free book to keep after every 100 literacy
price of the vehicles would be $104,000 each, which includes seatbelts. The school district would want to add two-way radios and cameras, which is another $4,000, and there is also the option of air conditioning the entire bus, which would be another $11,000. Those would be the costs incurred by the county for each bus. Dominion Energy is making up the difference in cost between a diesel and electric bus and the cost of the related charging infrastructure, said Audrey Cannon, communications specialist. The total cost of an electric bus is about $350,000, she said. Dominion would pay the balance of the rest of the cost of the bus as well as installing the charging station infrastructure where the buses can charge. Dominion would also pay to train mechanics and drivers as well as local fire and rescue crews on what to know

year cycle, but if they are still running well, that time limit can be extended, Johns said. Currently, the division has seven buses that are 15 years old and nine buses that are 14 years old. The division usually purchases eight to 11 buses a year. The cost for the current diesel buses does not include seatbelts, which would be an additional $9,230, Johns said. The Dominion Energy Grant requires three-point-harness (lap/shoulder) seat belts. The National Transportation Safety Board recommended seat belts on school buses last year, but these are not yet required by federal or state regulations. He anticipates they will be required sometime in the near future. With the electric buses, the base
activities completed. Registration may be completed in the library, or via the library website. The library provided outreach to four area preschools, and the local Head Start program, in November and early December and reached 164 preschool students. Preschool outreach helps reinforce early literacy skills and promotes library use among those who might not otherwise visit the library. On Dec. 19, “Gingerbread Day� at the library included two performances of “Little Red and the Gingerbread Man� by Barefoot Puppet Theatre of Richmond and cookie decorating with gingerbread men baked by Hobby Hill Farm of Powhatan. Over 200 patrons attended this event. A holiday film series on Friday mornings in December brought classic holiday films to the community of library users. The series concluded Dec. 20 with a showing of a holiday favorite, which features Ralphie’s quest for a coveted Christmas gift.
in case of an emergency, Johns said. Another important note is that Electric school buses are 60 percent less expensive to operate and maintain, and the school districts get to keep that savings, which means schools can invest more in students, teachers, and learning opportunities, Cannon said. At their request, Johns will give a more in-depth presentation about the electric buses, possible savings, and costs to the county at the school board’s Feb. 11 meeting. Dominion has told divisions it will be delivering about half the buses and installing charging stations in August and the rest before December. Johns is hoping to hear soon which group Powhatan will be in since the timing of paying for Powhatan’s portion of the bus affects which budget cycle it falls under.

Fatherhood group helps shape relationships with manger project

County Seat Restaurant owner Janie Dean, third from left, was recognized at the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce’s annual celebration with the Kathy Budner Award of Excellence. There to support Dean were her daughter, Tracy Cifers, from left; friend Ruth Boatwright; employees Robin Freeman and Sandy Shortridge, and chamber board president Tracey McClung.

The Responsible Fathers and Family Group recently had a wonderful evening of food, fun and fatherhood. The group held a Fatherhood Manger Build Christmas Celebration on Dec. 19 at the Powhatan Volunteer Rescue Building. The group has been in existence for nearly six years and has been holding the manger build project since 2015. The kids love the building of the mangers with their fathers and mentors. This gives the men an opportunity to spend some time with their children and work together with one another. They also learned how to build a bond with one another. On Jan. 23, 2020, members celebrated and honored some of the finest fathers and mentors within this great county. Organizers say these are the best mangers that the group has ever built.

ber of Commerce. The award was presented at the chamber’s annual celebration, which was held on Thursday, Jan. 23 at Independence Golf Club. Dean is the owner of County Seat Restaurant and Gathering Place, which is now in its 26th year in business in the heart of the historic Powhatan Village area. With her restaurant, Dean created a community gathering place in Powhatan that touched people’s lives through their mouths and their souls, Boatwright said. She said Dean knows no stranger and joked she has “been aware of our eating habits for years.” “The lady that we honor tonight has contributed so much to add to the fellowship of our community. You see the people who make a difference in our lives are not the ones with the most credentials, or the most fame, or who have the most money. They are the ones who leave a lasting impression on us, who help to create and be a part of lasting memories that we will always remember,” Boatwright said. Dean took over the Udderly Delicious snack bar

Dean praised her family and employees but also spoke about how, when she started, local residents would come in and help by washing dishes, sweeping floors or greeting people. The love for the “community has flowed both ways,” she said. “I do think the character of our country comes from right here. A lot of people think it comes from the top down. That is important, too. But the most important thing in our whole country is the way we treat each other (locally),” Dean said. “You and I can’t change anything nationwide or worldwide, but we can do whatever we can do to make sure our local atmosphere is what we want it to be.” Dean is the 11th recipi-

located inside Maxey’s Store (now Four Seasons Restaurant) in 1993 and renamed it the County Seat. She kept her business there until 2001, when the restaurant moved to its current location, a new building built by John Rothert – something for which Dean is still grateful. During her speech, Boatwright talked about the move to the new location and how it demonstrated the role Dean and her restaurant played in the county. The restaurant has many regulars, including some who made the move a little bit easier. “On a regular morning in December 2001, the usual breakfast crowd came in for breakfast. When they got through eating, they all picked up their chairs and they started up the sidewalk to the new County Seat. And the next morning, the County Seat

nomic status, or physical ability. At the end of each skit, the students reinforced the theme, “Peace Begins with Me.” The program also included a full line-up of musical performances by the Little Zion Baptist Church Youth Combined Chorus, PHS One Voice, PHS Jazz Band and the Powhatan Middle School String Ensemble. “Powhatan High’s One Voice did an outstanding job with ‘Glory,’ and the high school jazz band is always phenomenal. We had an added treat this year – the middle school string ensemble, who were awesome,” Gray said. Wilnesha Holman of Powhatan, was one proud mama during the program, with her four children singing with the Little Zion
Baptist Church Youth Combined Chorus. She said she was proud of Victory, 5, Joshua, 4, Jacob, 10, and Caleb, 9, and appreciated the opportunity for them to show their talents, represent Christ, learn their heritage, and be bold in front of others. Victory stole the show with her fearless solo performance of “I Am a Promise.” Holman said they were going into town and just continued to play the song repeatedly. Still, she didn’t realize the little girl had learned it that well in one day. “She likes to sing. She sings in church all the time and all through the house. This brought me to tears,” Holman said. Gray commended Victory’s performance, especially in front of a large audience at such a young age.
“It’s hard to believe that this was her first solo performance ever in front of a large audience,” Gray said. Youth were also highlighted in a number of other ways throughout the program. Presenters who came to hand out awards or do special presentations all had mentees who spoke during the program. They helped read proclamations, announce this year’s scholarships, and recognize other honorees. “I hope (the youth) received that message that ‘peace begins with me’ and that in dealing with their peers they will stop and think about that message,” she said, adding she hopes they can add a “new season of walking in peace with one another.” Shirley Graves of Powhatan said she attends the event each

year because it is a great way for people in the county to celebrate King’s birthday and enjoy an event that promotes unity. She said she loved the entire program and admired the hard work that went into it. “To me having an event like this will bring people together in unity, and that is why I like the program. Dr. Martin Luther King wanted everybody to be together, regardless of race, nationality, whatever. He wanted everybody to come together as one,” she said. Other highlights of the event included a delicious breakfast; a drive that brought in a generous amount of food to donate to the Powhatan Food Pantry; the presentation of the Honorable Margaret Manning Scholarship; presentations of the other MLK scholarships, and community
service awards. The organizers also held a special presentation to honor the memory of the late Pamela Cousins, Brenda McFarley, and Earl Royal for their tireless service to the annual community event. Family members of the three were honored and given awards in recognition of their loved ones. Gray said organizers are grateful to all of the volunteers who made the program a success. “Planning and organizing this program is a mammoth task. There is so much preplanning and work that is done behind the scenes. The dedication and hard work of committee members is commendable,” she said.

MLK’s legacy of love, nonviolence worth honoring By Laura McFarland Editor
I
n the days leading up to last Monday, I had numerous friends and family members from other parts of the country reaching out to me to ask where I would be on Jan. 20. The impending gun-rights rally obviously garnered a great deal of attention, both for its initial purposes and the worries and warnings that it all could go horribly wrong. Fortunately, those predictions didn’t come true. When I got those questions, I simply said that I would be continuing my annual tradition of covering the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Day Community Breakfast at Powhatan High School. As an important community event attended by hundreds of local residents and actually taking place in Powhatan, that is where I needed to be. However, I also was aware of how important this issue is to many Powhatan residents, some of whom I knew would be attending the rally downtown. So I stayed up with the news coverage and reached out on Facebook to those who were attending to ask them to share their photos and experiences. You can read about that in more detail on A1. At the end of that day, after the breakfast program had wrapped up another year successfully and the fears surrounding the rally – many would say hype – didn’t come to fruition, I couldn’t help but think of it all in the context of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. In Powhatan, kudos are definitely mer-
ited for the organizers of the youth day breakfast – especially co-chairs Shirley Goins and April Gray – and all of the youth and mentors who worked so hard to make it a special day. Whether it was the student performances, the mentors and mentees working together to honor local youth and adults, the great breakfast, or the volunteers who made it all come together, the morning at the high school was delightful. The PHS Diverse Hands at Work Club put together several skits that admirably embraced the theme of this year’s event, “Peace Begins with Me.” It tackled the issues of prejudice because of race, economic status, and physical disability in a relevant and approachable way. There were outstanding musical performances by the Little Zion Baptist Church Youth Combined Chorus, PHS One Voice, PHS Jazz Band and the Powhatan Middle School String Ensemble. Because of generous donations from the community, the committee was able to give either scholarships or some funds to all 18 of the students who applied for the awards, which is great positive reinforcement. It was a day that celebrated our local youth along with the legacy of Dr. King in an admirable way. Then I thought about the rally downtown. I am not an expert on gun control laws, and I especially would not pretend that I could say without a shadow of a doubt how Dr. King would have felt about it. Toward the end of his life, Dr. King was a proponent of nonviolence. Different arti-
cles I have read took opposing stances on his ownership or attempted ownership of a gun and his decisions about whether to allow armed men to protect him. Regardless, it is obvious that part of his personal journey was deciding how he felt about them, even if only for personal protection. Several stories I read talked about him owning a number of firearms at one time and even applying for a concealed carry permit in Alabama in the mid-1950s shortly after his home was bombed on Jan. 30, 1956. Despite the obvious danger to his life, white authorities at the time had discretion over issuing him the permit and denied his application. Other articles say that while he did apply for the permit at the urging of family and friends, he later changed his mind. So when it comes to the issue of gun control and Dr. King, especially when taking the argument out of the context of the times in which he lived and how his views changed throughout his life, the best thought I could come up with my basic knowledge was “it’s complicated.” But when it comes to the way most protestors reportedly behaved at the rally, it feels like he might have approved. The fact that, from beginning to end, last Monday’s rally was nonviolent is absolutely a triumph for our region and in line with Dr. King’s call for advocating for nonviolent direct action to effect social change. There is no telling how many firearms of all shapes and sizes were situated within a pretty small amount of real estate downtown last Monday. The Richmond TimesDispatch quoted authorities as saying the
rally had an estimated 22,000 people in attendance, about 16,000 of whom opted to stay outside the perimeter set up by authorities to screen protestors before they entered the area around the Virginia Capitol. While I am sure not all of those who stayed outside the gate were armed, I saw photos of some people who were carrying more than enough guns to make up for some of those without. And yet, not a single shot was fired. Only one person was arrested, and that was for wearing a mask. No reports of white supremacist activity have come out of the event. Both from news accounts and in speaking with Powhatan residents about what they observed, people of different ethnicities and sexual orientations joined together in protest without incident. I hope people remember that solidarity and commitment to nonviolence as we move forward since the issue of gun rights in Virginia is obviously not over. Even as I wrote this on Jan. 22, the Virginia Senate approved a “red flag law” that would allow for the removal of guns through a legal warrant from a person deemed a “substantial risk of injury to himself or others.” I know many in Powhatan oppose this and other bills being considered. Given the subject of this column, I thought this was an appropriate way to end it: “Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Resident has concerns about issue of low income housing Dear Editor, Does anyone have concerns about low income housing? Why not go I-95 south until you cross Appomattox River. Go to the first exit, bear right and take a tour. Then come to Powhatan to thank those wise citizens who have helped Powhatan to be a great place to live. Then read an excellent newspaper: Powhatan Today. George M. Robinson II Powhatan County
hatan has been invited to the party. I’ve seen these in operation and the effect would be to take money from the rural counties and divert it to the wealthy ones. Mayor Stoney is already licking his lips about using the money to fix the city’s roads and sidewalks. GRTC has never operated efficiently and they would get another chunk of money to squander our money. What’s more is that since we drive longer distances, we would pay a disproportionate amount per capita with no benefits. I guess you have figured out my feeling on this and I hope the board of supervisors and our elected representatives will act accordingly. Richard F. O'Hare Powhatan County
Proposed tax would hurt drivers on the road more
ERA could do more harm than good for women
Dear Editor, Undoubtedly, you have seen the front page of the Richmond Times Dispatch in which a Central Virginia Transportation Authority is being proposed that includes Powhatan County and about a 10 cent per gallon tax. This is being proposed by Delegate Delores McQuinn, D-Richmond. This is on top of the gas tax increased proposed by the governor. The total increase is probably 20 - 25 cents or more. I noted that Powhatan was identified as a member but I don’t know if Pow-
Dear Editor, This letter is in response to the column titled “Ratification of ERA in Virginia is long overdue” published on Jan. 22. The phrase “separate but equal” summons a negative connotation, and rightfully so. This holding from 1896’s landmark Plessy v. Ferguson solidified the case for segregation of public facilities until it was struck down by the Supreme Court over 50 years later. In fact, the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment

ent of the Kathy Budner Award, which is given to a chamber member who has demonstrated a selfless contribution to local businesses and to the chamber. Recipients are chamber members whose service and performance positively reflects excellence as demonstrated through their work ethic and contributions to the Powhatan community. The award honors Budner, who was instrumental in starting the chamber in 1992 and served as its executive director
for 16 years. Unlike many recipients who are surprised by the announcement, Dean knew it was coming. She said her daughter, Tracy Cifers, co-owner of the County Seat, told her about two weeks earlier, knowing her mother doesn’t like lastminute surprises. But even with the early warning, Dean said she was still surprised to have been chosen for the award. “I am honored to be in company with Kathy Budner - just being mentioned in the same sentence with Kathy Budner and Ruth and Susan Ash and the others ... it’s an honor,” she said. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax:804-344-8746

served as the basis for this decision on the basis of “nor shall any State [...] deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” Simply put, we are (and the Supreme Court has been on multiple subsequent occasions) left to interpret that this clause applies to all citizens. So what is the motivation for the Equal Rights Amendment if equality under law is already the status quo? While I dare not speculate on the true intent, a few hypothetical scenarios regarding a modern version of the ERA’s unstated “separate but equal” potential is worth pondering. Does the ERA call for the elimination of femaleonly nursing rooms or restrooms under the proposed “quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex” clause? How might this amendment be legally subversive of public benefits afforded to those who need them the most, such as Women, Infants and Children (WIC)? Would these, too, be considered unconstitutional? While the American workplace is still catching onto offering parental leave benefits, the vast majority of paid benefits currently offered still favor the mother. Would this be considered a violation of the ERA? The rights of all U.S. citizens are and continue to be protected by our durable Constitution. An Equal Rights Amendment would open the door for a warranted legal challenge of benefits that are exclusively afforded to women on the basis of sex. Eric McArdle Powhatan County
Past recipients of the Kathy Budner Award of Excellence are: 2010, Larry Lyons; 2011, Ruth Boatwright; 2012, Dan Jones; 2013, Kathy Grasty; 2014, Susan Ash; 2015, India Cox; 2016, Connie Moslow; 2017, Carson Tucker; 2018, Michael Potter, and 2019, Robbie Urbine. The selection committee that decides each year’s recipient is made up of the past award winners. Ash said the decision to recognized Dean with the award was long overdue because she has done so much for the community. She embodies the qualities that the committee was looking for in a
recipient: “people that go above and beyond, people that you can trust, people that you just know have ethics and care about their community and would go out of their way to do what is right.” Budner, who was at the event, said a prerequisite for receiving the award named in her honor is that the recipient uphold a quality of work and excellence in how they do their jobs. “For so many years, Janie has just been so good at what she does, and I think it is because of her character and her willingness to embrace just about everybody who comes into the County Seat,” Budner said.

Chip Humphrey, president of The Rotary Club of Powhatan, said he was ecstatic with how the event turned out this year. “It was great. I think everybody who was here had an absolute ball this year,� he said. Organizers changed things up a little this year, adding a golf shot challenge with a top prize of $5,000. Ryan Charles got the farthest in the competition but missed the final shot. Dick Humphrey of Powhatan was the winner of the "Mule" drawing, which was a collaborative project with Rotary and Backpacks of Love, said Lummie Jones, BPOL president. The groups had been selling $50 tickets to the raffle for weeks with the winner getting to chose between a Mule ATV or $10,000. Dick Humphrey chose the Mule. Other winners in the drawing were Larry Moncol, who won $1,000, and Rolf Shiflett, who won $500. “We did this raffle in hopes of raising money for the two groups and we did.

He triumphed in that match, too, defeating Glen

Powhatan’s swim team honored seniors Maura Campbell, Bailey Kantanen, Emily Matthews and Troy Porter during Friday’s home meet at Goochland YMCA. It was a special Senior Night, as Campbell and Matthews have been with the team since their freshman year – the year when coaches Shannon and Rick Malkerson
started the team. Facing Colonial Heights and Louisa on Friday, Powhatan’s girls defeated Louisa, 72-31, but were edged by Colonial Heights, 69-62. The boys finished third overall to Louisa 70-21 and to Colonial Heights 61-22. Powhatan’s girls 200-yard medley relay team of Bailey and Summer Kantanen, Matthews and Mia Wilson took first place in 2:12.40. The same
four swimmers also won the girls 200 freestyle relay in 1:55.71. Matthews dropped her girls 50 free time by 0.13 of a second to swim second in 28.88, and Bailey took second in the girls 200 individual medley in 2:55.02. Campbell finished second in the girls 100 butterfly in 1:32.33. Porter took 0.96 of a second off his seed
POWHATAN – Upon setting up for the 3-point shot, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot junior Henry Kiefer tends to launch the ball with a noticeably longer and higherextension of his left arm, with his hand arching downward upon release. “He’s got a pretty shot,” BSH head boys basketball coach Chris Hamner said. “He’s had it ever since I’ve known him, in fifth or sixth grade, and he loves to shoot. He’s never seen a shot that he doesn’t like.” He saw three of his 3-pointers swish through the net on Tuesday night, and he totaled 11 points in his BSH Knights’ 5534 win over visiting Southampton Academy.

Allen’s Korey Polo by a 12-6 decision to win the invitational’s 170-pound championship. “It’s a big deal,” Rehme said. “I actually haven’t done a lot this year, and to win this, it really shows where I’ve come this season and shows everybody kind of who I am and puts my name kind of out there a little bit.” He joined teammates and juniors Linwood Hill (195 pounds) and Sean Hall (126) in winning individual titles for Powhatan High School on Saturday. Hill went toe-to-toe with Tirpak in the finals, fighting through a scoreless first period, grabbing a 1-0 lead with an escape in the second and then surrendering a point to Tirpak in the third. But within the final 35 seconds, Tirpak went to headlock Hill, who posted up on his elbow to slide out, then took Tirpak down to the mat to grab two points and the lead. Hill won the match 3-1. “Felt good, practiced hard all week with my partners Hayden [Fitzsimmons] and Hans [Rehme],” Hill said. “I had to work on my top moves more and they helped me work my top moves, be able to keep people down, not giving up more points than I should be. It was a good tournament.” Hall, who won all five of his invitational matches for bonus points, pinned Midlothian’s Jackson Foldes, in 1:19 to earn his second individual tournament championship in the last eight days. “It’s always great when you can win at home,” said Hall, whose last individual title came the previous Saturday in the Big Blue Invitational, which is held in Christiansburg, located more than three hours west of Powhatan, featured tough competition and helped Hall in raising his intensity. “It was awesome,” Hall said of winning the Big Blue invite. “I was kind of in an ‘Oh crap!’ mindset when I was down 5-0 [to Christiansburg’s Luke Robie in the finals], but I just stayed calm and kept working to try to win.” Hall in his Big Blue finals match trailed 5-1 after the first period, but grabbed another point and a late takedown to cut into the deficit at the end of the second.

Sophomore Zander Nadeau totaled 11 blocks, which included deflections that altered the visitors’ trajectories on their shots and short-circuited their layup attempts. “We protected the rim very well,” Hamner said. “We did kind of let them get to the rim a little too much, but they’re good – they’ve got a zone system where they go high, low and we worked on it yesterday. It’s hard to defend. Luckily for us, Zander was there to protect the rim for us. “We can play better than we did defensively. But we did enough to get the win, which is huge.”

on his back, stringing together a takedown with a near-fall. From there, Hall rode him tight to preserve an 8-6 lead and win the title. While there were three Arrowhead Invitational champions from Powhatan High School, Saturday’s finals produced four total winners who live in Powhatan County, including Maggie Walker Governor’s School sophomore and last year’s Class 2 138-pound state champion RJ May. And after he pinned Midlothian’s Ethan Ky in 1:31 to win the 160 title, May was honored as the invitational’s Most Outstanding Wrestler in the upperweight division. For May, there’s been more emphasis on being a physical wrestler this season. “Last year, I was kind of more depending on more of my technique, and I’d lose close matches to better kids because they’d be more physical and they were older, so they knew what they needed to do to win,” May said. “And I feel like, over the summer – I’ve gone to more national events, I’ve gone to bigger tournaments…it showed me that I needed to be more of a physical wrestler, be more aggres-
sive in how I wrestle, which I feel like it kind of helped me out today. “A lot of people I wrestled…right off the start, I would just get real physical and then it would kind of get them out of it mentally and kind of zone me in.” May this year has been wrestling at 160, but he also started off at 152; he’s alternated between the two classes, but he said that 160 might be where he stays at. “I feel big! I’m getting older, I’m getting bigger, so I feel like I’m a proper 160,” May said. “I don’t necessarily feel like I’m a small. I’m only a sophomore, but I feel like I’m bigger than most of the guys I’m wrestling, which really helps out.” May also got to share Most Outstanding Wrestler honors with his friend and fellow club wrestler Evan Buchanan, who was awarded the title for the lightweight division. Buchanan, who is set to wrestle collegiately for the University of Virginia, defeated King William powerhouse Austin Weeks by pin in 1:54 to not only win the 132 title, but also contribute to his Atlee Raiders’ Arrowhead Invitation-
BSH seized momentum early on Avery’s back-to-back 3’s– with both shots set up by defensive rebounds – and the home team continued to pull away by attacking the net in a variety of ways. Both Kiefer and Ben Newton knocked down 3-pointers, Nadeau added a putback and Avery chipped in a couple of points from the line to build a 10-0 run for the Knights in the second quarter. BSH led Southampton Academy 31-12 at the half. “The one good thing to know is, with a senior-led team, you know they’re going to show up and play hard, so you don’t really have to worry about that too much,” Hamner said. “They did a little tricky thing defensively on us where they just kind of sat some guys in the lane and left some guys wide open, and we follow ‘next guy up,’ where we just go to the next guy. We’ve got a lot of shooters on the team and we went to the next guy. It happened to be Henry and… he got hot and knocked down some huge ones for us.” The Knights also received a spark from Adam Angle, a junior who transferred in from Monacan High School. He
showcased his speed throughout the contest and scored all 6 of his points from the freethrow line. “His energy is helping us more than anything right now,” Hamner said of Angle. “His energy that he brings to practice and in the huddle and in the games is something that we were maybe – I wouldn’t say lacking – but we needed more of, and he is bringing it, and he brings a lot of it.” The Knights (8-6 after Sunday) took back-to-back losses to Amelia Academy on Thursday, 69-41, and Friday, 52-38. Avery and Nadeau each netted 10 points on Thursday, and Nadeau dropped in 15 points on Friday. The Knights are taking on a two-game stretch this week, including Friday’s 7 p.m. home game versus Brunswick Academy. “The progression of the program at BSH has just come so far. We started building it with Robbie and Raymond as freshmen and it’s just come along,” Hamner said. “And now it’s nice to see how guys have chimed in and know their roles. “Even if Robbie and Raymond have an off-night, we’ve
al team championship. Powhatan took second overall and had the second-most individual winners with three (Hall, Rehme and Hill) behind Atlee’s four. “I’m just proud of the team,” Rehme said. “Even though we got second, we still fought hard. Everyone did...just a great day today.” “It would’ve been nice to knock Atlee out, but at the same time, they came and wrestled, and they deserve it, so credit to Coach [Gabe] LaVey and their team,” Powhatan head coach Jonathan Tanaka said. Andrew Cheatham (145), AJ Gaskins (152) and Hayden Fitzsimmons (182) also represented Powhatan in the finals. Cheatham ran into a tough foe in Midlothian’s Crew Gregory, but limited Gregory to 1 bonus point as Gregory defeated Cheatham by a 10-2 major decision. Gaskins went toe-to-toe with Midlothian’s Ashby Berry, tying him at 2-2 late in the match. But with six seconds left to wrestle, Berry pulled off the escape to hand Gaskins a 3-2 heart breaker. Tanaka said that Fitzsimmons “wrestled a heck of a match” against Wilson Memo-
rial’s Chase Wilson, tightening Wilson’s lead to 4-3 late in the match before Wilson added a last-second insurance takedown to secure a 7-4 decision and earn his 100th win. “Really, really important matches for us to be able to learn from as we move forward,” Tanaka said. “Our JV guys did phenomenal today. I’m really happy and proud for those guys to be able to wrestle in their home gym in front of some fans.” Wilson Memorial further added to the invitational’s already highly competitive pool of wrestlers and gave the Richmond-area teams and Williamsburg’s Warhill a new selection of faces to take on. The Fisherville-based team took third overall. Tanaka continued to express his appreciation for Powhatan wrestling coach Richard Fitzsimmons, who ran the tournament, and for Shannan Lindhjem, who ran the hospitality room. “It’s really important for us to be able to host this event and be able to showcase our community,” Tanaka said. “Regardless of the outcome, it’s always a good time for us. “A lot of people are always very complimentary of the building, of the hospitality room, just of the experience in general, which I think says a lot about our county and our community, the wrestling community and Powhatan County as a whole.” Powhatan is slated to wrestle at Goochland tonight in a 6 p.m. dual.

Castlebury adds more titles to motocross career By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Jakson Castlebury has been around motocross all his life. His dad, Jeff Castlebury, raced a little bit when he was a kid himself, and Jakson’s older siblings started riding at an older age when they were around 12 or 13. Jakson was born when they were racing, so he’s been going to the tracks ever since he was a baby. He’s been racing for at least five years, and the 8-year-old Powhatan resident’s knack for the sport can be seen in the way he graces the high line around a banked corner. It can also be seen in the variety of tricks he can pull off while in the air. He can do a nofooter, and when he jumps in the air, he can do a one-hand trick and look over. He’s also starting to do whips and scrubs. “I like going around turns and jumping jumps and…my dad’s bike’s not fixed, but if it is, I like to ride with him or my friends,” Jakson said. His passion for motocross has quickly translated into wins. Jakson last year earned the triple crown in the District 13 MX Series and collected seven championships in all, as he also competed in the District 29 MX Series, in an Eastern Series and in the Maryland State MX Championship. He has a few favorite races from those series. There was the race at Axton’s Lake Sugar Tree, which is one of his and his family’s favorite tracks. There also was the North Carolina Motorsports Park April race in which he had to surge forward from a ways back to pass Lincoln Snider for first place. He recalled another race in Elizabeth City, where he wrecked and fell to third before rallying to the front to win it. Racing has taken Jakson and his family up to Pennsylvania and down to North Carolina, and the year before last, he got to race in the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Last year, he was two places away from qualifying,

but his bike was broken, forcing him to miss out. His goal this year is to make it back to nationals, which have been described as the Super Bowl of Amateur Motocross. “To say you’ve been is a prestigious thing,” Jakson’s dad Jeff said. When Jakson competed at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, his bike broke on the first moto – there are three motos – and from his positions in the other two, he still ranked 22nd in the United States. Jakson’s favorite kind of bike is his 65cc; he just moved up this year to the larger machine after racing the 50cc. “It’s fast and, on my 50, I didn’t have any suspension, so I didn’t get to jump a lot,” Jakson said. “But now that I have the 65, I get to jump way more.”
Whether it’s navigating turns or doing tricks on towering jumps, Jakson can practice those different things on the winding course – complete with ramps and banking – right beside his house. John Rusch of Rusch Land Management will come by to fix the track every once in a while, and when it’s fixed and the weather allows it, Jakson will ride on the course just about every day. He also has a couple of friends who will come over and ride with him, and if he’s not riding, it’s very likely that he’s playing with his toy dirt bikes and toy dirt bike track, or he’s watching motocross videos. So far, he’s had just one day of official training – his dad, however, said
that his one day of training, held a few months ago with Motocross racer Randall Everett, really helped him – but in addition to putting in time on his home track, Jakson picks up a lot from watching other pros race. He likes Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac. “They’re just really fast,” he said. From his day with Everett, Jakson learned about braking, seat positioning and foot positioning. And with the larger 65cc bike having a clutch – the 50cc didn’t have gears – he’s gotten to know how to upshift and downshift on the track. He’s also starting to pick up on things related to the setup of the bike – almost more than his own dad, Jeff said. “He’ll tell me, ‘Hey dad, my bike’s doing this.’ I look and I’m like, ‘No it’s not.’ And then he’ll go back out on the track, come back [and say] ‘It’s still doing it.’ And then I’ll find something,” Jeff said. “He’ll tell me what the bike’s doing and it’s up to me to find out what’s causing it, but he’s very in tune with his bike.” In about 30 days, there will be qualifiers at different tracks on the East Coast; Jakson and his family will hit as many of them as they can. Competitors who finish eighth or better at the qualifiers will qualify for regionals – one of the regionals is in Florida this year; another is in West Virginia – and the top six finishers from regionals will receive the grand tickets granting them entry into nationals at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. With the heavy travelling that Jakson and his family must do for competitions, he has to leave early from school sometimes, so his family places emphasis on Jakson doing well academically. He’s on the AB Honor Roll, and his teacher, Lindsay Salyers, has been a big help for him as far as making sure his work is done. Others who have supported Jakson and his family along the way have included Rusch Land Management, Robbins Plumbing, R&N Performance, Rusty Rogers and Michael Schaeffer of Schaeffer Racing.
Indians rally late, but Hanover endures, wins 65-58 By Billy Fellin Special Correspondent Overcoming a double-digit deficit in the first quarter, Powhatan’s boys basketball team rallied to tie Class 4, Region B opponent Hanover late in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s invitational game at Monacan High School. But unfortunately for the Indians, the shots went cold in the final two minutes, resulting in a 65-58 loss to the Hawks. Hanover by and large owned much of the first quarter, although the Indians were able to shrink what was a 15-point deficit down to 9 points by the end of the frame. In the second, senior Logan Wyatt answered a Hanover 3-point shot
with one of his own to keep momentum from swinging too far in the Hawks favor. After the Hawks went to the line twice and only made two of the four chances, senior Trey Moore added to the 3-point tally with one of his own and was followed up by LJ Alston completing a 3-point play to shrink the lead to 5 points. Powhatan kept pace with Hanover in the third, keyed by two separate 4-point spurts, but it was the fourth quarter when the Indians came alive. Alston hit a 3-point shot early in the quarter, one of five in the frame for the Indians. He scored 12 points in the game. Brylan Rather dropped in another 3-point shot, followed by Jay Harris sinking one from long range.
Harris led the Indians with 16 points, including four 3’s. The Indians in the fourth were more aggressive on defense, creating turnovers and grabbing rebounds. Hanover was unable to start any runs that would keep the Powhatan offense at bay. Wyatt sank another 3-pointer to bring the Indians within 3, then Harris found the bottom of the net to tie the game at 58-all. Wyatt notched 12 points for Powhatan. That was the end of the hot shooting, however, as Powhatan had opportunities to get ahead of the Hawks, but the shots just wouldn’t fall. Hanover ended the game on a 5-0 run. BILLY FELLIN/POWHATAN TODAY Powhatan made 11 3-pointers in Saturday’s loss. Earlier in the week, Powhatan’s LJ Alston (4) works through the the Indians fell to L.C. Bird, 67-36.

Powhatan High School freshman Erin Almond (14) goes for the layup in Thursday’s home game versus Midlothian.
POWHATAN - When senior Rachel Losch landed her fourth-quarter 3-pointer, she sparked her Indians into a 10-0 run. But with less than four minutes remaining, Midlothian still held a 14-point lead, having rocketed away on a 17-0 run of its own over the third and fourth periods after the Trojans entered halftime with a narrow 29-28 advantage over the hosting Indians. Before its big run towards the end of the game, the Trojans got a pair of 5-0 bursts with the help of two 3’s in the third to gain distance on the Indians. Midlothian went on to win 62-48. Sophomore Faith Henderson continued to pace the Indians in scoring as she tallied up 17 points. Sophomore Kayla Terry added 12 points, and sophomore Sophie Dolan chipped in 8 points. Powhatan earlier in the week took a 65-50 setback to L.C. Bird. Henderson double-doubled with 16 points and 12 rebounds while Terry added 15 points.
