PCPS nearing completion of solar projects By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – Powhatan County Public School is expecting to take another big step in its efforts to decrease its carbon footprint with the completion of its major solar project within the next few
weeks. Since late fall 2019, contractors have been installing roof-mounted solar arrays on four of the county’s five public schools as part of a solar power partnership with Sun Tribe Solar LLC. The Powhatan County School Board voted unanimously to approve the partnership with Sun Tribe in June 2019. Crews have reached both mechanical completion and substantial completion on the jobs at all three elementary schools and Powhatan Middle School and have been given permission to operate (PTO) from Dominion

Power, said Tom Paquette, project manager for Sun Tribe Solar. They are currently in varying stages of completing their last punch lists and commissioning the systems, which means prepping them to be turned on and tested. Pocahontas Elementary and Powhatan Middle schools are the furthest along in progress, with an expected total completion date of mid February. Powhatan and Flat Rock Elementary schools are not far behind and are expected to be online by early March, he added. According to current data, the projects at the different schools are expected to produce a wide array of power to offset the schools’ needs: Powhatan Elementary, 1,126 solar panels, 52 percent anticipated offset; Pocahontas Elementary, 1,002 solar panels, 49.3 percent; Flat Rock Elementary, 628 solar panels, 34.7 percent, and Powhatan Middle, 1,278 solar panels, 61.5 percent.

POWHATAN –Figuring out how to maximize the county’s potential to accomplish road improvement projects was an important topic of discussion at the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ first regular meeting of 2020. The subject of road improvements came up a few times in the board’s meeting on Monday, Jan. 27 as the supervisors started discussing which projects they and the citizens of Powhatan might want to prioritize. During the meeting, the board heard presentations from Kyle Bates, resident engineer for the
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and Bret Schardein, interim county administrator. One of the main topics of discussion centered on the county’s efforts to win SMART Scale monies for local road projects. SMART Scale is a statewide competitive funding program for transportation projects in Virginia. Localities that want to participate can submit a prescribed number of transportation projects that are then all scored and prioritized. The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) uses that information to select the right projects for funding from the pool of applisee BOS, pg. 3
Board finalizes county administrator’s termination agreement By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously last week to pass a termination agreement regarding the resignation of former county administrator Ted Voorhees setting the final terms of his severance package. During the board’s meeting on Monday, Jan. 27, supervisors voted unanimously to pass the agreement as written. The agreement finalizes Voorhees’ separation from the county. The board unanimously asked for and received his resignation on Monday, Jan. 6. Voorhees, who had worked as the county administrator since May 1, 2017, attended
the Jan. 27 meeting and made a request during the public comment period, which came prior to the board’s vote on the agreement. Voorhees asked the board to adjust the separation agreement to indicate his last day of employment was Jan. 31 and that he be showed on paid leave status from the date upon which he stepped down until that date. “My intention is that this action be done at no cost to the county, with all costs deducted from my final compensation. In December, I initiated a process to repurchase prior service in the Virginia Retirement System that I earned serving another local government jurisdiction in the Commonwealth,” Voorhees said. “Un-

fortunately, this transaction was not completed prior to the board’s request for my resignation and cannot be completed without this adjustment.” Voorhees recognized that the board was under no obligation to extend him the courtesy but pointed out “it would not cost the taxpayers anything, and I am unaware of any reason that would prohibit you from doing so. It would mean a lot to my family.” When it was time for the board to vote on the agreement, they did so without comment and without making any changes to the agreement, which ended his employment effective Jan. 6. According to the agreement, Voorhees is entitled to six months of salary at his cur-

O B I T UA R I E S MICHAEL HARRIS Michael James "Mike" Harris, 51, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, January 28, 2020. He was predeceased by his mother, Margaret Wiley Harris; and two mixed breed dogs, Petey and Lodi (no AKC dogs for Mike.) He was also predeceased by his grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. James Boyce Wiley of Decatur, Ala., and Mr. and Mrs. Jack T. Harris of Plantation, Fla. He is mourned by his father, M. SteHARRIS vens Harris of Powhatan; his brothers, Mark (Kristin) of Davidson, N.C., Patrick (Sonja) of Midlothian; aunt, Suella Steel (John) of La Jolla, Calif; uncle, Dr. James Boyce Wiley Jr. (Anne) of Decatur, Ala.; aunt, Patricia Wiley of Birmingham, Ala.; nephews, Matthew, Evan and Jensen; niece, Shelby; and a host of first and second cousins who loved him dearly. Mike was born in Richmond on February 22, 1968, two minutes before his twin brother, Pat. He grew up in Bon Air, graduating from Midlothian High School then Ferrum College in 1991, with a degree in Marketing and a favorite course of fly fishing. Mike lived in a reclaimed log cabin in Powhatan and loved all things outdoors where you could shoot a gun, launch a boat or paddle a canoe. He hunted with the Rocky Ridge Hunt Club in Bath County, where he was a board
member. He also hunted in Amelia, Goochland and Powhatan counties, and enjoyed punching holes in paper targets whenever he had the time. Mike was an accomplished cabinet maker and trim carpenter, not earning a living in his chosen college degree, instead choosing sawdust over a desktop computer. His trim work and cabinets can be found in some of the finest homes and businesses in the area. Mike was raised in the Southern tradition, always respectful to everyone, with a trusting nature, gentle smile, and his handshake was his bond. To quote one of his dear friends, if you were lucky enough to meet Mike you were his friend; if you got to know him you were family. As our hearts are saddened and we try to understand this sudden and terrible loss, Mike has gone to a better place to be with Mom and he has much joy in his heart. A visitation was held on Monday, February 3, 2020, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Bennett and Barden Funeral Home, 3215 Anderson Highway, Powhatan.

cants. Application rounds are now open every two years, and Powhatan County began the fourth round of SMART Scale with Schardein’s presentation to the board and an open meeting held on Monday, Feb. 3 at Powhatan County Public Library to gather public input on projects the county might submit. The list of potential projects changed somewhat after the Jan. 27 meeting as supervisors weighed in on what they thought might be the most pressing needs for traffic flow and public safety. Staff will summarize the public feedback received to the board at its March 23 regular meeting, at which time the board is expected to pass a resolution selecting up to five projects for pre-screening, Schardein said. Staff will then submit those projects prior to the screening deadline of April 1. VDOT will spend the spring/summer analyzing all projects to determine eligibility. Once the county receives confirmation that the projects are eligible, staff will submit the full applications for the top four projects prior to the Aug. 3 deadline. The county is seeking public input on the following projects: Carter Gallier extension Phase 2 – To complete the work started with Carter Gallier extension currently underway, to connect South Creek with Luck Stone and Page roads, creating a parallel network to Route 60. This project was submitted last round, and while its benefit score was relatively good, the high cost of the project brought down the score and it was not selected for funding. As each round is different, staff believes this application is worth re-visiting this round. Schardein said if the county wanted to try and help its application by pursuing the right of way permissions needed for the project, it could bring
down costs. Projected cost: $7,641,557. Stavemill Road and Route 60 - Originally proposed in the 2016 Route 60 study, this project would install a second westbound left turn lane; add an overlap phase for the northbound right turn lane; restrict westbound U-turns; and modify the traffic signal to facilitate the above improvements. Larry Nordvig, who represents District 2, emphasized how much of a safety hazard exists at the intersection that needs to be addressed. Projected cost: $1,054,000. Red Lane Road and Route 60 - Proposed in the draft Route 60 Corridor Preservation Study, this would construct a continuous green T (CGT) intersection, consisting of a protected acceleration lane for traffic turning from Red Lane, heading east on 60. This would allow the eastbound traffic on 60 to pass through the intersection continuously, without the need for a red light in that direction. Projected cost: $1 to $2 million. Village sidewalks – This proposal would involve constructing sidewalks and associated crosswalks along one side of Old Buckingham Road between Powhatan Middle School and Mann Road, which is approximately 0.7 miles. The proposed sidewalks would connect to existing sidewalks to the Courthouse Village, as well as an existing sidewalk along Mann Road. The proposed sidewalks would connect Powhatan Middle School and Powhatan Elementary School to Fighting Creek Park, Powhatan County Public Library, Powhatan YMCA, and other destinations in the Village. Projected cost: $1.9 million. Route 13/Skaggs Road sidewalks – Add sidewalks/lighting along the east/south side of Skaggs Road between the existing sidewalk on Route 13 and Tilman Road, connecting the existing sidewalk with the
old School Board building (new county offices/Free Clinic of Powhatan, county-owned ballfields, and the War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center). Projected cost: unknown. Route 60/ Route 13/ Academy Road – In 2019, VDOT conducted a study of this intersection, recommending a restricted crossing u-turn (RCUT) at Routes 13 and 60 and additional turn lanes at Academy Road and Route 60 at a cost of $1.7 million. Given the study was only recently completed, an application at this time may be pre-mature, however feedback from the board and the public on how to best address this intersection could lead to a SMART Scale application in the future, if not this round. During the meeting, Mike Byerly, District 3, raised the possibility of a continuous green T being used at the intersection of Academy Road and Route 60 and a right turn lane heading east on Route 60 from Route 13. Staff is currently evaluating that option. While the board didn’t officially narrow down the list at the Jan. 27 meeting, Byerly said that given the similar costs, he was more inclined toward a project like Route 60/ Route 13/ Academy Road over Village sidewalks for the public safety benefits. Bill Cox, District 4, concurred with him. Schardein’s SMART Scale presentation included a list of projects that are on the county’s radar but aren’t top picks for this year’s application. Byerly pointed to one of them – extending the westbound turn lane from Route 60 to Oakbridge Drive, where he said traffic backs up in the morning. He asked that it at least be presented to the public. Nordvig pointed out that while the sidewalk projects seemed to be taking a back seat in the board’s discussion, he hopes the county will find a way to help connect the Free Clinic of Powhatan
in its new location to the Village sidewalk network. SMART Sale funding is a huge potential resource that Powhatan has taken advantage of in the past to great effect, Schardein said. The Route 711 widening project was submitted in fiscal year (FY) 2017, was approved and is now constructed. For FY 18, the county submitted a project for the Huguenot Springs and Huguenot Trail intersection realignment. That was approved and right now is in the right-of-way acquisition phase, he said. Most recently, during the FY 2020 round, a Powhatan project made the cut that will involve constructing an additional turn lane on Anderson Highway (Route 60) at its intersection with Judes Ferry Road (Route 613) as well as an additional lane constructed along Judes Ferry Road from Route 60 to Batterson Road (Route 677). Bates said in his VDOT presentation that the Huguenot Springs Road intersection realignment was slated for construction in spring 2022 and the latest project at Judes
VDOT projects At the beginning of the meeting, Bates gave a presentation that was a basic introduction to the new board members of VDOT’s role, especially as it pertains to Powhatan County. He highlighted some of the other projects he wanted to bring to the board’s attention. In the pavement management area, Powhatan has two projects scheduled for 2020, he said. One resurfacing project will take place on Route 60 westbound from 0.18 miles west of Batterson Road to 0.05 miles west of Page Road, consisting of approximately 2.8 lane miles, and costing an estimated $392,806.35. The other resurfacing project will take place on both lanes of Route 711 from Three Bridge Road to Venita Road, consisting of approximately 13.06 lane miles, and estimated to cost $1,014,702.26. VDOT prioritizes resurfacing routes based off of traffic counts and surface/ sub-surface ratings. Bates could not offer a definitive timeframe for the repaving projects. The paving season stretches from March to October or November and contractors have that entire time to get all of the different contracts they have been awarded done. When the projects are scheduled to begin, they can generally
give the public about two weeks of notice. Powhatan has three upcoming bridge projects, Bates said. The Route 681 (Clementown Road) bridge over the Appomattox River was put out to bid but the bids came back too high. VDOT is going to go out for a bid again. Another project will take place at the bridge on Route 13 (Old Buckingham Road) over Sallee Creek. Construction begins in spring 2020. The third is the bridge on Route 684 (Cartersville Road) over Deep Creek. Plans are under review by VDOT and construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2020. Bates also brought up the subject of the county’s Secondary Six-Year Plan, which is a document that outlines planned spending for transportation projects proposed for improvement or construction over the next six fiscal years. The plan is prioritized every year by the board of supervisors. Bates suggested using the funds Powhatan has accrued for these projects – about $180,000 – on work that will make a big impact. One example was using it to hard surface the shoulders on Route 711, possibly before the resurfacing takes place on the road. Bates added he would be back before the board in the near future to discuss the six-year plan.
Internal Integrity Most Important

1 Timothy 6:10 “For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” Are you listening? To maintain personal or societal integrity one must trust and obey God, not things. Isaiah spoke to a nation in his day (700 BC) that was militarily strong, economically prosperous, very religious, and with good strong leaders – yet was coming under God’s judgment because of internal sin. Isaiah 1 is a wake-up call to any nation. “Make sure that your character is free from the love of money…” (Hebrews 13:5). Love of money compromises security.

Robert Wright, left, a contractor working on the solar panel project for PCPS, wires inverters at Flat Rock Elementary School. The school, one of four to have solar arrays installed on their roofs, had 628 panels installed that will offset an estimated 34.7 percent of the school’s power needs.

over a 12-month period. Last summer, Sun Tribe provided figures to the school board that showed a higher offset of electricity costs, but in the pre-construction phase’s structural analysis, the company realized it couldn’t add as many solar panels as first projected, Paquette said. Three of the buildings have flat roofs, so the solar panels will not be visible to the public in most places where they are installed, said Dr. Jason Tibbs, director of facilities. The exceptions will be some panels visible from the second floors of Flat Rock and the middle school. Because of the slanted roofs at Powhatan Elementary School, some of the panels installed there are also visible. The process of installing the solar panels has been “seamless” and the working relationship between the school division and Sun Tribe has been excellent, Tibbs said. The solar company took the lead on the project, which was a relief to division staff members who have handled some big building and renovation projects in the last few years. “There really have not been any challenges at all. Sun Tribe has done an exceptional job. One of the things we wanted to make sure they understood is that if they were working during the school day, that none of their work would impede upon the instruc-

tional delivery in the classroom,” Tibbs said. “Other than a piece of equipment going by a window or hearing footsteps on the roof, there really has been minimal impact on the school day.” Tibbs commended the company’s willingness to work with the county to handle all of the required paperwork and permits and the way crews always treated the safety of students and staff as paramount. He especially pointed out Paquette’s dedication to the project. Paquette said his family moved to Powhatan when he was in fifth grade and he grew up in the public school system here, so it has been an especially important project for him to watch come to fruition. “This project has been a cool thing for me because I grew up in Powhatan, my family lives there, and I went to the old Powhatan High School, which is now the middle school that I put solar on. So to be involved with a project like this was really special to me,” he said. He added that there is a personal sense of pride for him in this project knowing Powhatan is embracing clean energy. “Powhatan County is one of the first schools in the state to have an initiative to get countywide clean power. That is something that everybody that lives there deserves to be proud of,” he said. Devin Welch, CEO of
Sun Tribe Solar, said Paquette “is a world-class project manager, and the fact that he had the chance to work to bring solar to his hometown shows just how committed Powhatan County Public Schools are to educating leaders.” As a Virginia-based, community-focused clean energy company, Welch said he is proud that Paquette and another former PCPS student were part of the team that made these projects possible. PHS graduate Amelia Thomas served as a research analyst, and then as a research and marketing associate for Sun Tribe as she completed her studies at UVA, where she graduated in 2019. Installing solar arrays on the schools has been an exciting project and one that has been discussed by the school division since spring 2017, Tibbs said. The idea didn’t take off then but was revived in early 2019. At the time, the division was already collaborating with Trane Building Advantage to do upgrades to the lighting, building envelopes and mechanical systems in the school district. “I think what it does is shows we are very cognizant of what is available to us and what our options are. The Trane project was a great project to come in and retrofit many of our older light fixtures, our older valves for water conservation, and much of our older mechanical equipment,” Tibbs said. “As
equipment gets older, it takes more for it to run – not just from an electricity standpoint but also from a repair and a maintenance standpoint. So this has provided us with an opportunity to take some of our older equipment and replace it with newer equipment that is more energy efficient and is also going to provide us with resources so we can put those resources where they are needed.” The project has also given the school district an opportunity “to really hone in on our processes and on what we have internally within the building from the standpoint of we can take a deeper look at our preventive maintenance schedules,” he added. The school division is also excited about the educational opportunities the solar arrays will provide for the school district, Tibbs said. They have already held some teacher tours, but after the systems are finished and working, there will be more professional development centered around solar power. “Maybe not this spring but at some point between this spring and next fall, we will do some training so they can hit the ground running with it. Everything will be up and running and they can plan lessons and integrate it into their classrooms,” Tibbs said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

Local competitions are co-sponsored by newspapers, such as the Richmond Times-Dispatch, or other high-profile community organizations and businesses. The spelling bee was established to “help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.” To participate in the contest, students must be under 16 years of age, be enrolled in 8th grade or below, and attend a school which has officially enrolled in the program.
Each month during the monthly meeting, the Cumberland School Board recognizes the Students of the Month for each school. The following students were recognized at the school board meeting, held on Dec. 11: Sofiah Paras, right, first-grader at Cumberland Elementary School, daughter of Howard and Tiffany Paras of Cumberland; Brett Dalton, fifth-grader at Cumberland Middle School, son of Jason and Lisa Dalton of Cartersville, and Calvin Foster, 10th-grader at Cumberland High School, son of Curtis and Kim Foster of Cumberland.

Minter named resource officer Contributed Report Jeffrey A. Minter, a sergeant with the Cumberland Sheriff’s Office, was recently named the new School Resource Officer (SRO) for Cumberland County Public Schools. Minter has 20 years of experience in law enforcement, and he has received specialized training in numerous areas, including crisis intervention, dealing with active shooters, hostage negotiaMINTER tions, chemical munitions, and interview/interrogation techniques. In addition to his work at the sheriff’s office, Minter is also active in the community. He is a member of Rocky Mount Baptist Church, works with the Alumni Mentor Program, volunteers with Delma’s Pantry/Cumberland Food Bank, and sings with Annie Minter and Divine Voices Gospel Singers. Minter, an alumni of Cumberland High School, was a 4-H All Star. He previously served as president of the Cumberland Rescue Squad, was a defensive tactical instruc-
tor, and is an ordained deacon and licensed minister. Minter is married to his wife Salina, who is an LPN, and he has two daughters (Jakayla Minter, seventh grade, and Aaliyah Minter, fifth grade) and one stepson (Rodney Richardson, of the 82nd Airborne, who was just deployed to the Middle East). His hobbies include fishing, drawing, traveling (cruising), learning the Bible, watching comedies, eating exotic foods, and getting to know different people. He has one indoor cat named Simba. Minter said he is dedicated to assisting “young males in becoming smart, talented, and respectful men.” For Minter, the recipe for success is “trying the new, but it must also contain the value, lessons, and the nurture of the old— with a touch of love.” As SRO, Minter will be primarily stationed at the Cumberland High School/Middle School Complex. SROs are responsible for working with school administrators, security staff, and faculty on developing and implementing comprehensive safety plans to ensure schools are safe places for students to learn. He will work closely with the elementary school SRO, Officer James Turney.

Don’t forget the past or risk repeating it By Laura McFarland News Editor
P
OWHATAN – Arbeit macht frei. In case, like me, you don’t speak German, this is a phrase meaning "work sets you free." I remember growing up reading about that sign and the lie it carried. For so many years, I had read of the horrors of the Final Solution and the concentration camps that the Nazis used to try to wipe out the Jewish race as well as anyone else who opposed them or was thought to be “undesirable.” But while I am a huge advocate of reading and the worlds it can open up to you, nothing I had read or seen in a documentary or film could have prepared me for the first sight of that sign when I visited Auschwitz-Birkenau. It was April 30, 2004, and I was traveling by myself in Poland after studying abroad in London for a semester. A little over a week later I would be graduating college, and, a few weeks after that, I was off for an internship with The Oklahoman in Oklahoma City. It literally felt like I had my whole life ahead of me. But then there was that gate – that lie. And I cried. It wouldn’t be the last time I found myself tearing up, feeling my chest get heavy, or outright sobbing. There was the moment we saw the buildings where horrific medical experiments were carried out on prisoners. There was the Execution Wall of Auschwitz, where disobedient prisoners were shot. There were the railroad tracks that brought more
than 1 million people to their deaths or an existence that must have felt like a living death. There was the electrified barbed wire fence that made escape nearly impossible. There were the barracks where rows of prisoners slept cramped together in unimaginably overcrowded and dehumanizing conditions. There were the rooms filled with giant mounds representing an untold number of lives lost to mass killings – human hair, worn shoes, eyeglasses, and prosthetic limbs. I remember the tour guide warning us as we arrived at the entrance to the gas chamber that it might be an overwhelming experience, and she was right. I wanted to be sick when I entered that room as every image, every documentary, every movie I had seen depicting the moment people were herded into those rooms flooded my mind. The memories of that visit and the photos I have seen showing the horrors of the concentration camps came back to me as I read about the different ceremonies and memorials that were going to be held to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the death camp on Jan. 27, 1945, by the Soviet Army. I didn’t originally intend to write about Auschwitz or my visit there in this column. That memory is intensely personal, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to talk about it. But I changed my mind after I posted the stories from the Jan. 29 edition of the Powhatan Today online, including the story about the Powhatan County residents who participated in the rally downtown on Jan. 20.
Words can hurt By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
It’s a universal irritant -- those pesky phrases that are so overused that the mere sound of them makes us cringe. They happen in almost every avenue in life, whether it’s in the normal dialect of the office or repeated in almost every newscast known to man. Lately, I’ve heard the term “get out over my skis” dozens of times when a person being interviewed doesn’t want to go far with an answer. It’s a phrase that took the news industry by storm, and I’ve heard every variation of the phrase. “I don’t want to get out in front of my skis,” one commentator recently said as he attempted to reach conclusion on a set of facts. Wow, that’s a variation of the metaphor that draws some pretty frightening images, and I suppose if one is in front of one’s skis, he’s probably seconds away from being run over. I recently read an article about banned or should be banned phrases in the office. They included too often heard fragments like “go big or go home” or “circle back”. Single words like synergy and ping also were frequent winners in the contest of most obnoxious office phrases. Terms like “peel back the layers of the onion” are no longer viewed as clever metaphors to motivate, but annoying attempts at cuteness that fall short of the mark. Daniel Bukszpan of CNBC compiled the list and suggested some of the terms like “think outside of the box” have outlived their usefulness and I tend to agree. Now, I’m no expert on office lingo, but I’ve been around enough
newsrooms to offer some recent phrases that I hope will be banned besides the previously mentioned “over his skis.” If I hear the term “tick tock” used in place of timeline or what actually happened and when, it will affect my synergy. And lately, the choice between any two well-defined options has become “binary”. I’m not sure who used it first or who repeated it, but there’s little doubt it’s become the latest version of cliché in the news business. “It comes down to a binary choice,” one interviewee recently said. “Does that mean yes or no?” the host questioned. “Yes.” The phenomena of overused phrases, euphemisms and metaphors are not limited to the office. Every time I respond to something they’ve said with the expression “Really?” they tell me how far behind the times I actually am. It seems the phrase has gone the way of “Ya think?” and other cute responses that make the rounds and then retire to a place of obscurity in our everyday language. I’m sure you have your own list of those pesky phrases that drive you crazy, but, for now, we’re on a journey. I was going to make this last sentence include all of the annoying phrases I discovered in researching this project. But once I ran it up the flagpole, I realized that would amount to a nothing burger. The appeal of euphemisms, analogies or metaphors is personal and what irritates one makes another laugh. You either like it or you don’t, or as my trendy jargon intense commentators might say, it’s a binary choice. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax:804-344-8746

Now I know that the fact that neo-Nazi groups and the KKK didn’t show up in droves to hijack the rally has led many people to talk about media hype and over-exaggerated security measures. But the fact is, it hasn’t been that long since those groups were proudly marching down the streets of Charlottesville on Aug. 11 and 12, 2017, chanting white supremacist slogans. It hasn’t been that long since one of those protesters plowed a car into a crowd of counter-protesters, injuring many and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. Rather than focus on what didn’t happen on Jan. 20, I would urge us to remember what could have happened. These groups are still here, capitalizing on the disenfranchised, exploiting ignorance, and spreading their messages of hate and prejudice. The messages of racism, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia are still being spread. And the passage of time and distance from World War II is erasing the collective memory of the horrors perpetrated against an entire race of people. History has shown us time and again that people who forget their past are doomed to repeat it. We need to continually educate ourselves and our children and have the hard conversations about what humans are capable of doing to each other so we can hopefully show future generations a better way. “To forget the victims means to kill them a second time. So I couldn't prevent the first death. I surely must be capable of saving them from a second death.” – Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize winner and survivor of Auschwitz.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Virginia communities denied DEQ protections against dangers posed by mega landfills Dear Editor, Delegate Sam Rasoul presented SB409 in the General Assembly on Jan. 28, 2020. Many citizens concerned about the Cumberland County mega landfill filed into the room waiting to speak to support the bill. SB409 would evaluate the local impact to communities from large mega landfills. Delegate Rasoul stated Virginia is being targeted by the waste industry because the regulations in Virginia are much weaker than our neighboring states. He mentioned the Cumberland County mega landfill would be the eighth mega landfill in Virginia. His proposed bill would have required the director of the Department of Environmental Quality to analyze and determine, in writing, what impacts to local water, soil, and air quality are expected from the construction and operation of a new municipal solid waste landfill that will accept 3,500 tons or more of municipal solid waste per day and to impose additional conditions or requirements, including facilities, maintenance, or operation of closure practices, as are necessary to adequately protect local water, soil and air quality. What possible reason would they have to deny the environmental protections for Virginia citizens and communities? Especially when most affected by this specific proposed Cumberland County mega landfill, which will be bringing 5,000 tons per day, are on private drinking well water. This bill required the Department of Environmental Quality to analyze and determine in writing what impact to local water, soil and air quality. SB409 WAS DEFEATED! God forbid, the people be protected from pollution and due diligence be done by the Department of Environmental Quality.
The citizens around this proposed landfill run by County Waste VA, recently sold to GFL, (an out of Toronto Canada Corporation), have had to become the experts on all the environmental risks. There are so many communities across the state of Virginia being violated with pipelines, compressor stations, injections wells of human sludge, mega landfills, two gas plants within a mile of each other, water extraction, natural gas drilling, and the list goes on! The corporations’ rights continue to be elevated above the health and safety of Virginia citizens and communities. Did you help make the rules that all but prohibit compost toilets and grey matter systems but allow factories to legally spew known carcinogens into your water supply? Did you approve 90,000 gallons of human sludge on farms in Powhatan per year? Did you give permission to spray toxics on the lawns? Did you make a democratic decision to offer over the counter cleaning products that should be banned as toxic but instead are rubbed and squirted all over? The corporations have pioneered the use of corporate constitutional "rights" to attack any law that infringes upon their ability to engage in commerce or use corporate property. In today's world, in which almost every meaningful reform affects commerce or property, it's relatively easy to apply those "rights" to overturn laws that affect certain industries. It's time we accept what our communities already know, we have a governmental system that has been utterly corporatized and is failing to protect the people. Victoria Ronnau Powhatan County

share of retirement payments paid on his behalf; nine months of health plan coverage, life insurance, and disability coverage, the outstanding remainder of the annual vehicle allowance, and unused accrued sick and annual leave. Toward the end of the meeting, Jamie Timberlake, who is the commissioner of the revenue, spoke during the second comment period. While he congratulated his fellow elected officials on their elections to office and said he looks forward to four years working together, he said he was disappointed in their action regarding Voorhees that night. “Mr. Voorhees gave a lot of time to this county, and if I understand what happened, we did not grant him the opportunity to work through his retirement points and give him until (Jan. 31), which wouldn’t cost any of us in this room or in this county anything. And that’s a shame. The guy is a good guy. You didn’t like his style; that is one thing. To change county administrators is your prerogative. But I thought that was wrong the way he was treated and my mama and my daddy told me to tell you that,” Timberlake said.

Moving forward Following a closed session at the end of the Jan. 27 meeting, the board also voted unanimously to approve a contract with Bret Schardein as the interim county administrator, effective Jan. 7. However, before agreeing to the contract with Schardein, the board voted on a stipend that Schardein would be paid while he fills the roll. The board voted 3-2 in favor of a stipend that is 5 percent above his current salary. Chairman David Williams, who represents District 1; Larry Nordvig, District 2, and Mike Byerly, District 3, voted in favor of the amount. Bill Cox, District 4, and Karin Carmack, District 5, voted against it. According to the human resources department, Schardein’s current annual salary is $112,850. He will be paid 5 percent above that amount as long as he fills the interim county administrator role. On Wednesday, Jan. 29, the county posted on its website and Facebook pages that it is now accepting applications for the role of county administrator and the initial review application will begin Feb. 28.

eighth grades took turns leading Northam and sharing subjects and areas they are most passionate about, whether it is music, math, agriculture, or art. Northam is a former high school biology teacher and is currently the chair of both the Virginia Children’s Cabinet and the Virginia STEM Education Commission. After the tour, she said she had a great time meeting the students and faculty and praised the amazing work the school is doing with the middle school students, especially in the areas encompassed by STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics). “When I taught, we could see from the test scores that our young women would outperform the young men in elementary school, and then in middle school we would see this shift. We thought what is happening to our young women?” she said. “Well, today, we are seeing a lot of tools being applied to encourage our young women to get into STEAM careers for the future. You can see how much involvement there is and what great role models there are at the school today.” Casey Grell, an eighthgrader, joined fellow student Breanna Gillespie in showing Northam the highlights of the agriscience classroom and lab, where students were working on woodworking projects as the tour group arrived. They also paused for a few minutes at the fish tank that is part of the Trout in the Classroom

Casey said she was happy to show off the agriscience program, which has wonderful hands-on activities for students, and appreciated Northam’s interest. “She seemed very involved in it and very excited that our school had a program like that,” Casey said. Sophia Hoffman, sixth-
grader, led the tour in one of the art classrooms, where the visit focused on both the current project students were completing as they did pencil drawings of school buses from different perspectives as well as other projects they have tried. “I wanted to show all of the stuff that is going to be in the Longwood Showcase because it is pretty interesting stuff that is going to be shown to everybody. So, it was cool
we could show them to her,” Sophia said. Eighth-grader Jacob Hanna talked about the school’s band program. The tour group heard a few minutes of rehearsal by the seventh grade band before Northam interacted with the students and band directors. She told the band that her husband, Governor Ralph Northam, played the French horn when he was younger and she played the flute. “She seemed pretty in-
volved in learning and seeing our band and orchestra – where they practice and perform pieces. And she seemed pretty involved with the seventhgraders while they were rehearsing. She was very kind to them,” Jacob said. Jacob added he personally found the tour interesting, saying “some of these parts of the school I didn’t even know about.” Zachary Durrbeck, sixth-grader, agreed he also learned a few things

Eighty-five students earned a 3.8 grade point average (GPA) and above for placement on the President’s List. All students are required to carry a minimum of 12 credit hours to earn academic distinction. Grace Beverly of Powhatan was named to the President’s List. “The faculty and staff at Richard Bland College are extremely proud of our students, especially those who achieve the highest levels of academic success. Each year, more and more RBC students are transferring to top colleges and excelling. That speaks to the quality of a Richard Bland education,” said president Debbie L. Sydow.
about his school he wasn’t previously aware of, but he was especially excited to show off PMS’s innovation lab. He is a regular visitor to the room and loves the different opportunities the space provides. During Northam’s visit he was proud to show her a model solar car he built with another student because he hopes to be an engineer one day. The other students who helped with the tour were Eastan Weber, Jaiden Michael, Reili Machotka, and Zoe Broaddus. Dr. Samantha Martin, principal, said in planning the visit, she wanted the students to lead the tour to highlight the work and accomplishments of teachers and students at PMS. She praised the way they represented the school and the community to the first lady. “It would have been awesome to have more time to be able to see all of our amazing teachers, but we had a great time popping into some of the classrooms and having the kids explain some of the projects and everything they are working on,” she said. In addition to highlighting the programs at PMS to Northam, Martin said she hoped the students benefited from the experience of speaking in front of a group and explaining what and how they are learning. Northam said she enjoyed the school and appreciated that it was “built with our 21st century learners in mind.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

POWHATAN – Last Friday’s game marked a couple firsts for the Powhatan boys basketball team. Head coach Ryan Marable, in his first year as the team’s head coach, said it was the first time that all five of his players on the floor, on every single possession, really buckled down on the defensive end. And that, in turn, led to the Indians knocking down shots, getting into the lane, making
several free throws and knocking off Dominion District opponent Midlothian 68-58 for their first win of the season on Friday, Jan. 24. “I told the guys that I’ve had a lot of fun coaching them this year, and the best thing about the win is that, the time in the season it came together, we stayed together the whole season,” Marable said. “There’s not too many teams out there I think that could’ve gone winless for that long and stay together, so it was a real testament to them and the coaching staff, see BASKETBALL, pg. 2B

Wrestlers win regular season finale, 58-15 Dual was the first between Powhatan and Goochland By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor GOOCHLAND – He would not let go. Keeping a grip on his Goochland opponent Max Moreno, Powhatan sophomore Cade Van Buskirk prevented him from escaping twice and from pulling off a reversal to protect his early 2-0 lead in Wednesday’s dual. From there, the 138-pounder added another reversal in the second period and parlayed a third-period takedown into a pin of Moreno with 33 seconds left in the match. It was a strong showing from Van Buskirk, who built on his third-place
finish in Saturday’s Arrowhead Invitational at Powhatan High School. “He’s really coming along. He’s one of those kids – just tough as nails, man,” Powhatan head coach Jonathan Tanaka said. “Today, it was funny – in class, he was like: ‘You know, I had some bumps and bruises’ like we all do. But it’s never an issue of stopping him from wrestling. It’s always like: ‘Yeah, like I’m a little banged up,’ and if you ask him if he’s going to wrestle, he looks at you like you’re stupid, which is what I love about him, man. It’s like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about; we’ve got a match tonight, I’m gonna wrestle,’ which you never have to talk him into anything. He’s always ready to go.

Powhatan’s Bailey Kantanen swims the girls 200-yard freestyle on Saturday.
Regular stretch concludes Staff Reports Powhatan swimming’s regular season drew to a close on Saturday with its home meet also featuring Goochland, Orange County and swimmers from Blessed Sacrament Huguenot (BSH) at Goochland YMCA. Goochland won the boys meet overall, 91-45 over Orange and 90-8 over Powhatan, and Orange won the girls meet overall, defeating Goochland 15295, BSH 143-26 and Powhatan 139-119.5. Out of the 22 individual events, Goochland won 12, Orange won seven and Powhatan won three. Emily Matthew broke through for Powhatan more than halfway through
the meet when she took more than a second off of her seed time in the girls 100-yard freestyle with her first-place swim of 1:04.94. BSH swimmer Jenna Schwab took third in the event in 1:08.88. Summer Kantanen not only dominated the girls 500 free in 6:17.88, but she swam the fastest overall in the combined boys and girls swim as she finished the race nearly 25 yards ahead of boys event winner Latham Browning from Orange County and slashed nearly 7 seconds off of her seed time. Powhatan’s Bailey Kantanen, Summer Kantanen, Sophia Edwards and Sidney White added a first-place finish in the girls 400 freestyle relay (5:02.22) ahead of Pow-
hatan’s Payton George, Danielle Pullin, Kaitlyn Meador and Michele Sanchez (5:38.06). Matthews also took second in the girls 100 backstroke in 1:17.27, and Summer added a secondplace swim in the girls 200 free while also taking more than 4 seconds off of her seed time with a swim of 2:19.06. Schwab for BSH placed second in the girls 200 individual medley in 2:51.03, and Powhatan’s girls 200 medley relay team of Bailey, Summer, Matthews and Mia Wilson placed second in 2:16.25. The same four swimmers also placed third in the girls 200 free relay in 2:02.19. Powhatan senior Troy Porter placed third in the boys 100 breaststroke in 1:23.46.

just all of us showing up every day and trying to keep getting them better, and for them to try to keep getting better.” Brylan Rather scored 19 points in last Friday’s win, and Logan Wyatt made 15 points. After taking a 59-42 home loss against the Trojans in December, the Indians this time around were the aggressors on the defensive end. “We took away things we knew they were going to do instead of playing from behind and just kind of hoping they didn’t beat us the way they could beat us,” Marable said. “And then on the offensive end, we really did the same thing. We tried to be the aggressor.” Powhatan gradually built up a 15-point lead in the second half; Midlothian would battle back, however, and the Indians would get themselves into positions where they really needed a play to stop their momentum. “And we had guys step up and make a play,” Marable said. “Every time they started battling back, we were able to make a play, either on the offensive or defensive end, to really stop their runs.” Powhatan’s Ethan Kramer, a 6-foot-7 junior center, played strong defense against Midlothian’s 6-foot-4 junior forward Jackson Dillon, who in the December game netted a game-high 21 points against Powhatan. “He played…probably the best game defensively that I’d seen him play,” Marable said of Kramer. The Indians were also able to execute plays offensively that got Rather the ball in spots where he needed to be, whether it was in a place where he could knock down a shot or in a position where he could get to the free-throw line. Senior Jay Harris was able to get into the lane, put pressure on Midlothian’s defense and keep up his attack on offense. “This was one of those games that was really fun for us as a staff because their energy and their effort and enthusiasm really allowed us to coach the game of basketball; it wasn’t begging a certain guy to play more physical, or to play smarter or anything like that,” Marable said. “Their effort warranted us being able to X-and-O a little bit, and that was fun. And when we did X-and-O, we executed pretty well, and the guys got the benefit of individual and team success.” Powhatan after Friday’s win knocked down 11 3-pointers against Hanover on Saturday and rallied late in the fourth

The Indians then rematched Cosby last Monday but fell to the Titans 71-47. Rather scored 12 points in the loss. Powhatan also rematched Monacan on Friday but lost 75-49. Powhatan was scheduled to play James River two days ago and will host Clover Hill tonight at 7 p.m. Marable is looking forward to more wins for his players, whether they come this year or in the future. “It’s a byproduct of their hard work and their attitude,” he said of last Friday’s win. “Just really thankful to have the job and to be able to make a difference in these kids’ lives.
country. After playing in college, Heather coached at schools in the area, including Monacan. One of the players she got to coach was her sister, who’s 10 years younger than her. “That was kind of a neat thing to be with her and her friends and coach,” Heather said. And then when Heather and her husband were starting a family, she became a stay-at-home mom and got out of coaching for a time. It wasn’t until her eldest daughter, Abby, and her friends wanted to start playing field hockey that she returned to coaching with the Swift Creek field hockey club. That’s how Heather’s middle daughter, Cori Nichols, got her start in the sport. It was around Cori’s third grade year, and Abby’s second year playing in the club, when Heather, with Cori being by her side, gave her a field hockey stick so she could play as well. She was one of the youngest and smallest ones on the field – Cori said she still has her uniform from then. A decade has passed since then. Her brother and two sisters have tried their hand at different sports throughout that time, but Cori has stuck with field hockey the whole time, every season. Especially with her starting so young, Heather noted how “you worry about: you don’t want your child to get burned-out.” But Cori never burned out from it. In fact, her passion has gained more fire the more she’s kept playing. “The older you’ve gotten, the kind of more serious you’ve become about it,” Heather said to Cori. She may have been drawn into it through her mom coaching and her sister playing, but down the road, it was Cori’s choice to stay with it. “I love the sport. I like how it’s not too physical,” Cori said. “I’m not a very physical person, so I like how there’s not a lot of body contact.” She also cherishes field hockey for the friendships it’s helped her create. Through her Panthers United Field Hockey club team, she’s gotten to foster many friendships with fellow student-athletes from different areas and different public schools. “When you go to tournaments and you’re rooming together, you do team dinners – that’s a huge part of it,” Cori said. In addition, she describes herself as a very competitive person. “The drive to always get to where you want to be, and then when you get there….you’re just proud of you and your team – that’s definitely what keeps me in it.” When Cori started at Trinity Episcopal her freshman year, Heather, who at the time was coaching her youngest daughter Lainey, offered to help her friend and Trinity head coach Margie Snead if she needed any extra hands. That’s how Heather joined Snead’s coaching staff at Trinity. “She’s so welcoming and I hope that she has loved having me that first year; she keeps asking me to come back,” Heather said with a laugh. “I think that it’s been a really good coaching relationship, and it’s certainly been fun to be there, and looking back, what an incredible mom-coaching experience for me to be on that sideline with [Cori] – really for all these years, but for high school, it’s just been really a gift to have.” To her mom, who is also a nurse, Cori remarked: “You are so busy… you come to practice and then you leave to work the night shift…it’s just inspiring that you do so much.” “I just love doing it and love working with all the girls,” Heather said. “I love the kids, love the parents, love the coaches.” To Cori, she would not be where she is right now without her mom. “She knows me obviously, so she knows how to push me…because I am a more naturally shy person, so she knows what to say to me,” Cori said. “She’s definitely formed me into the player that I am.”
Heather pointed to Cori’s really high hockey IQ and described her as a precision player. She praised the way in which she sees the field and distributes the ball to make things happen, as well as her power, her ball handling and “the way that she always has the right touch – it’s always the right pace.” And she’s always been a very unselfish team player, her mom said. “I didn’t feel like I had to coach her quite so much at a certain point,” Heather said, “because she always seemed to make the right decisions and was always where she needed to be.” Cori saw her lifelong passion for field hockey and her successes over the years lead to this year’s prestigious All-Metro Player of the Year honors, awarded by the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “There are so many great players,” Cori said, “so the fact that I was the one given that award, I’m so grateful.” Her postseason honors didn’t stop there. Cori, also the VISAA and LIS player of the year for field hockey, went on to earn national recognition as she made the National Field Hockey Coaches Association’s High School South Region Team and the NFHCA High School All-American Third Team. In all four years that Cori played for Trinity Episcopal and Heather was on the coaching staff, the Titans always made the state finals. In Cori’s freshman and sophomore years, they finished as state runners-up. After that, everything came together. In the only two years that Heather, Cori and Cori’s younger sister Lainey would get to share together as members of the Titans, they never lost. Since the start of the 2018 season, Trinity Episcopal’s field hockey team has won 44 straight games, including back-toback VISAA state championships. Having talented players every year plays a role in a winning streak as tremendous as the one that Trinity has built over the past two seasons. But it also takes having everyone on the same page as far as being focused and knowing what they’re trying to achieve, Heather said. “You have to be focused daily on that…they’re just as competitive in a practice as they are in a game,” she said of the players, adding: “I think when you have kids that have an upper-level of play, have an upper-level of thinking and they can execute and they’re not selfish – they don’t go beyond what we’re asking them to do and they play within their role as a team – that’s when you succeed.” As for what she, her sister and her mother helped Trinity achieve in the last two years, Cori said it’s “really cool to have that to share with your family.” “We’re such a busy family,” Cori said. “We’ve all done so many different things...so many different sports, and Lainey and I were on the same path these past couple of years, so getting to share that together, it’s really cool, because not a lot of other people have that, and obviously: your family, you love them, so getting to share your hockey life with your family, it’s something that’s really special.” And since the time that younger sister Lainey started attending Trinity, she and Cori have gotten to spend a lot of time together. Especially after they moved to Powhatan County – they now live in the house that Heather’s husband grew up in, on Nichols Road – they’ve shared more time with one another across their 50-minute car drives, their car talks and their time together at school. And while Cori will have graduated next year, she’ll still be very close by. As Lainey and her Trinity teammates will look to continue building on the program’s 44-game win streak, Cori is embracing the next step of her field hockey career as she will attend and play for the University of Richmond this fall. She’ll get to play alongside, and also against, friends and former teammates in college. “I went from Panthers to high school; now I’m moving on to the next level,” Cori said. “I’m just so excited to see how things will go.”

Knights win 2 out of 3, improve to 10-4 By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot girls basketball team continued a standout season when it notched two more victories in a three-game week to reach 10 wins in 14 total regular-season contests played. The Knights after Sunday held second place in their conference, and held the no. 12 ranking in the VISAA Division III state poll. The Knights also went 4-2 in six consecutive conference games played on the road. Head coach Phil Villiott was very satisfied with his team’s performance going into Tuesday’s home game. “If you would have told me this would have happened I probably would not have believed you,” Villiott said. “The
girls look to have bought in and have overall been very coachable. They have worked hard and are ready for more.” The Knights opened the week by edging past Christchurch Academy 36-30. Freshman Madelyn Mitchell poured in 19 points and eighth grader Hailey Holcombe and senior Katie Schiefer each added 6 points. The following day, the Knights powered past Tidewater Academy 31-23. Mitchell led the way with 12 points and senior Elizabeth Carter chipped in 8 points.

They’ve only allowed more than 44 points twice, both times to top 10 Times-Dispatch team Central Virginia Homeschool. In all 10 of their wins, the Knights gave up no more than 36 points. “We work on tempo and taking good shots and trying to find the best shot we can. We also stress making the defense play defense, something teams don’t like to do,” Villiott said. “We also strive to play consistent pressure as best we can, which can slow teams down. If it takes us 30 seconds or more for a good shot, we will do that.” Villiott added that “the girls continue to work on confidence and building skill.” The Knights will play at Fuqua on Wednesday and Kenston Forest on Thursday, both at 6 p.m., and will then host Richmond Christian on Monday, Feb. 10 at 6 p.m.
Powhatan sweeps Wythe amidst tough stretch By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor
NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY

Greenhow sets meet record Contributed Report Powhatan High School junior multisport standout Anthony Greenhow took first place out of 168 runners in the 300-meter dash with a Virginia High School League state qualifying time of 34.78 at the Suffolk Stars Invitational held Friday, Jan. 31 and Saturday, Feb. 1 at Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton. Greenhow’s time was also a Suffolk Stars meet record and ranked him 20th in the nation in the 300. Greenhow also earned 10th place out of 183 sprinters in the 55 dash. He ran a VHSL state qualifying time of 6.62. Powhwtan senior Paris Brown took 25th place out of 166 sprinters in the girls 55 dash in a state qualifying time of 7.55.
RICHMOND – Firing up the full-court press in the opening minutes, the Powhatan Indians parlayed relentless defense into an early 9-0 lead and kept pulling away to rout George Wythe 50-16. The Indians with the win swept the Bulldogs in regularseason play, having also beaten them 44-15 on Monday, Jan. 6. Three sophomores led the way for Powhatan on offense. Kayla Terry drained two of her three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and tallied up 12 points, Faith Henderson added 10 points and converted three steals into quick trips to the basket for easy layups and Sophie Dolan captured seven steals in addition to netting 7 points of her own. Nine different players scored for Powhatan, and everyone who was dressed out, including seniors Rachel Losch (5 points), Michala Taylor (4 points) and Gabby Dintino (2 points), contributed gametime minutes on Tuesday. “They did great; we just played man-to-man the whole time. We don’t always play man-to-man on defense the entire game,” Powhatan head coach Kristy Henderson said of her players. “Tonight was a good night to get everybody on the court, everybody working man-to-man, talking, communicating, working together.” Powhatan usually plays a
2-2-1 press, but in last Tuesday’s game at Wythe, the team worked in the 1-2-1-1 diamond press, which is more of an aggressive, trapping press. “We’ve been working on it for a few weeks now. I feel like we’re really coming together with that,” she said. Sophomore Logan Anthony lasered in the first 2 points of each half on a pair of jumpers for 4 points total, and sophomore Meghan Hodge, after hitting 2 points from the freethrow line, had a steal underneath the basket on the offensive end wiped away by a timeout called by George Wythe. Hodge added a long jumper at the end of the third quarter, and junior Kelsey Nickerson netted a 2-pointer in the second. “Meghan’s minutes have increased. She’s been working really hard. She’s giving us quality time,” Henderson said of Hodge. “She’s super aggressive, she’s super fast and [I’m] happy for her that she got to score a bucket tonight.” Powhatan the previous night had three players net double figures in a 76-52 setback to Cosby. Faith and Terry each scored 16 points, Dolan added 10 points and eight different players scored for the Indians. Powhatan on Thursday took a 62-23 loss to Monacan and was scheduled to rematch James River on Monday and Clover Hill on Tuesday. The Indians will host Manchester in their Senior Night game on Thursday at 7 p.m.

and Robbie Kurtz achieved on Friday night versus Brunswick Academy. Avery got into the paint and put up a floater to reach his 1,000th career point, and Kurtz glided down the lane for a layup to achieve his 1000th career point. Both were honored at halftime for making the 1,000-point club and were presented with their 1000-point balls by BSH Class of 1997 alum Kristian Hargadon, who is still the all-time leading scorer in Blessed Sacrament Huguenot history. ‘Such a great accomplishment for two unbelievably deserving high school kids!” BSH head coach Chris Hamner wrote on Saturday. “Raymond and Robbie are the types of players that make coaching fun! They are the types of kids that as a father, you pray your children will be like! They have meant so much to their teammates, to BSH, and to me personally.” Hamner added that “1,000 points is something that they worked extremely hard to accomplish, but both of them would throw that
accomplishment away without even thinking about it if it meant getting our team a win.” He described both players as “complete team guys first.” Playing tight defense in Friday’s game, the BSH Knights powered out to a 14-point lead; Brunswick Academy fought back to tie the

dominant dual for Powhatan, who defeated Goochland on Wednesday 58-15. Van Buskirk seized the lead in his match with an early reversal, then stayed tough on top after blood time before building up to the pin. Matthew Bales, wrestling at 160 pounds, also picked up a big win over senior Kieran McCaul, who the previous week placed third for Goochland in the James River District championships. Bales, a junior, overcame McCaul’s 2-1 lead with an escape and the goahead reversal, then turned him onto his back for the pin 35 seconds into the third period. For both Bales and Van Buskirk, Tanaka said it’s about getting them more mat time and experience. “Just happy to get them an-
game with one minute left, but with the help of a couple of quick breaks, BSH pulled off the 65-60 triumph, bouncing back from a 54-50 loss to the Vikings at Brunswick Academy on Tuesday, Jan. 7. - Kenny Moore contributed to this report.
other match before we roll into this postseason stretch,” Tanaka said. Sean Hall (126) pinned Goochland’s Blake Smith in 35 seconds. Andrew Cheatham (145) jumped out to a 10-2 lead after two periods, then battled to pull off the pin against Corey Vincent with 49 seconds left in the match after he took Vincent down to the mat with a thud. Hans Rehme (170) powered his way to a 10-0 win by major decision over Jon Daly. Hayden Fitzsimmons (182) pinned Goochland’s Alex Thompson with 44 seconds left in the first period, and Linwood Hill (195) battled to pin Ethan Ford with 26 seconds left in the second. It was Powhatan’s first time wrestling Goochland, although last year the Bulldogs’ wrestlers came over to Powhatan a couple of times for joint practices. The young Goochland
Pinnell made 9 of 10 extra points. His coach told him: “Man, I think you’re going to be a kicker.” Pinnell took that with him, and while he still wanted to play baseball going into his freshman year, he tried out for football just to give it a shot. But he didn’t make the team, and he also didn’t make the baseball team that year. At that point, he didn’t want to continue playing sports. But right before the next football season came around, coach C.J. Lindhjem texted Pinnell, asking him if he was going to try out for his team. “I was like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t really want to play anymore,’” Pinnell recalled. “He was like, ‘Just give it one shot.’” So Pinnell tried out his 10th grade year. He made the team. And now, more than two years later, the Powhatan senior is on his way to continuing his football career with NCAA Division III Averett University. Pinnell is the first football player from Powhatan High School to go to college as a kicker since Brian Ward walked-on at JMU in 1991. Pinnell made program history when he recorded the longest field goal made by a Powhatan High School kicker in the Indians’ 2019 season opening game versus Matoaca. “That was crazy. I went up to kick it, I thought it was 41 yards,” Pinnell said. “So I was thinking: Ah, 41, that’s not too bad. Put it right through the middle and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s sweet.’” And then he heard the actual total on the loudspeaker. He had just nailed a 46-yarder, eclipsing the previous school record of 41 yards set in 1996. Pinnell has appreciated being able to participate with Powhatan’s team, as well as being able to keep his Indians in games when they’ve needed him. It means a lot to him that he’ll be able to represent Powhatan football at the collegiate level, and to do so as a kicker. “I know that from Powhatan, a lot of guys don’t go and play on in college for football,” Pinnell said, “and to be able to continue the legacy for Powhatan and just bring Powhatan to another school, it’s nice to just get the name out there.”

In this Sept. 6, 2019 photo, Powhatan senior Mason Pinnell (7) kicks for a field goal in the Indians’ 2019 season opener versus Matoaca.
Averett initially wasn’t among the colleges that Pinnell was looking at. But after his mom asked him if he had heard of the Danville-based school, he looked it up, saw that it had a good football team (the Cougars went 15-5 over the last two seasons), applied, got accepted in, talked to the coaches and went on an official visit to the campus. “Everything they said, it just – it hit me,” Pinnell said. “I knew I needed to be there.” He felt that connection with the coaches right away. “It was perfect.” He observed that the players on the team are “all like one big family.” “It’s not like, ‘We’re all just here.’ It’s…always together, always participating in things together,” said Pinnell, who added that the university’s facilities, including the turf football field, are “fantastic.” He also likes how Averett is a small school. “It’s smaller than other schools,” Pinnell said, “so in the classroom, you need help with a professor, you can go and talk to him.” With the kicker position, Pinnell emphasizes how the technique and form have got to be there in order for the kicker to get the ball to where it’s supposed to be. And it’s not easy, he said. “I like how I can go out and just be alone…I don’t have to have somebody throw the ball to me,” he said, “and just work on technique and form by myself – calm, relaxing – and just kind of get it right, reps over and over again.” There are times when a win or a loss can come down to a field goal or an extra point. The Indians got one of their biggest wins of the 2019 season that way when Pinnell, after his teammate
Jaysun Carroll made a game-tying touchdown catch, footed through the extra-point to put Powhatan ahead of Clover Hill, 21-20, in the closing seconds. But when it comes to the missed kicks, Pinnell said that “you’ve kind of just got to let it go.” “You can’t dwell on one kick,” he said. “You’re going to have plenty of kicks in your career, and one kick – if you lose a game by one kick, it’s not your fault.” And you’re going to have bad kicks along the way, he added. “You’re not perfect, nobody is,” he said. “You just can’t let it bother you. You’ve just got to keep going, focus [on] the next kick.” The summer before his senior year, Pinnell participated in camps at Liberty and Duke universities. He got to work with the kickers and was able to see what he needed to improve on through reviewing videos of his performances. As he moves forward, Pinnell wants to keep improving not only on his kicking distance, but also on not thinking about others kicks he’s made. As for committing to Averett and getting to attend college, Pinnell said it means a lot to his family. “Nobody in my immediate family has gone to a four-year school or any college such as that, and it’s just nice that I can do it for them and do it for my other family members,” Pinnell said. “I just thank God,” he added, reciting “Joshua 1:9 - Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

program has embraced tough schedules early on as a means of having their student-athletes take on seasoned wrestlers. “Coach [Mike] Nadder and coach [Jeremy] Wampler, I think they’re doing a really good job; I’ve been in [the] position where you’ve got to build a program from scratch. It’s definitely hard. There’s
definitely some patience there. I understand how it’s difficult to schedule as well,” Tanaka said. “When they approached me with this, I thought it was a good fit for us…so hopefully we keep that rivalry going year-to-year. I’d like to keep it as a home-and-home. I think the rivalry will be good for us over time.”
Powhatan has concluded its regular season and will next wrestle in the Class 4, Region B championships, which will be held the weekend of Feb. 14-15 at Spotsylvania High School. With the time in between, the Indians are looking forward to resting, recuperating and getting some of their wrestlers healthy for regionals.
