Schools begin budget review $1.6 million increase proposed in first draft By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board recently received an early introduction to its proposed fiscal year 2021 operating budget, which staff is projecting will increase by $1.6 million over the budget adopted last year. During its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 11, the board heard a presentation on the fiscal year (FY) 2021 budget, which staff members always acknowledge has a long way to go before the final figures are adopted in a few months. But with early budget projections in, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said he was pleased to present a balanced early draft of the budget

that th t could ld accomplish some of the positive goals previously expressed by the board. “At this point we are balanced, which is a lot better place than we thought we were going to be a few weeks ago. But certainly a lot can happen between now and the end of the budget process and there could be some changes that occur in this budget as a result of different funding levels or other requests or needs that we may have,” Jones said. The biggest chunk of the
budget increase is $722,847 to fund a step increase for all employees, a minimum 2 percent salary increase for all employees, and a 3 percent increase for bus drivers to remain competitive, Jones said. Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations, pointed out that the governor has proposed a 3 percent salary increase in the second year of the biennium for funded Standards of Quality instructional and support positions. Anything
Powhatan does this year would still count toward receiving the state incentive dollars if the county offered at least a 1 percent increase next year. Another big portion of the change to the budget was an increase of $341,632 in the line item category. While this increase represents many small increases to a variety of areas, the biggest change in it was used to restore funding to the transportation and operation see SCHOOL, pg. 4

POWHATAN – The new Powhatan County Board of Supervisors began working last week on its vision for how members want to see the county moving forward in the future. The five supervisors held a special meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 11 to meet with Ken Peterson, president of Good Government Ventures LLC, about developing a shared vision, mission statement, and strategic plan. The next two meetings continuing this process will be held at 6 p.m. on March 5 and 24 in the conference room of the Village Building, 3910 Old Buckingham Road, Powhatan. These meetings are open to the public. Peterson started the meeting by explaining to the board that he didn’t bring previous examples of the county’s strategic planning documents because he wanted to “come to this meeting unencumbered by previous assumptions or decisions and engage in a brainstorming session with an open mind.” He pointed out that the board is in the middle of the budget process, in which it is asked to set priorities and allocate scarce financial resources, and “it helps to be able to do that if you’ve got very specific goals and a clear vision for the county as you’re allocating those resources.” “Too often you get caught up in the day-to-day – putting out brush fires and being in reactionsee STRATEGIC, pg. 3

ary mode. So, it is good every once in awhile to just pause and see where you are going,” he said. Peterson also pointed out that while agreeing on everything across the board is “group thinking” and not healthy for a board, the goal still is to help them transition into a “cohesive, high-performing team” and “give birth to a strategic plan that is unique to Powhatan.” Peterson talked about this first meeting as an opportunity to lay foundations before building actions and starting to develop a strategic plan in the next meeting. Chairman David Williams, District 1; Larry Nordvig, District 2; Mike Byerly, District 3; Bill Cox, District 4, and Karin Carmack, District 5, all participated in the meeting.
Assessment Before the county can move forward, there has to be a certain amount of looking around to see the current lay of the land, and that was a big focus at the start of the first meeting. Roughly the first hour was spent talking about Powhatan the way it is – what makes it unique, current perceptions (negative or positive) that people have about the county. This discussion started with characteristics supervisors think make Powhatan unique, such as its location relative to the metropolitan area while still retaining a more rural flavor; a strong sense of community; dark sky nights; rural spaces; excellent schools, and the important role of the historical Village area. Peterson also asked about current perceptions of the coun-

ty, both good and bad. Board members pointed out views that the county is not business friendly; it previously had a dysfunctional board of supervisors; it has growing traffic and congestion issues; it struggles with development pressures; it has a negative reputation for good stewardship of taxpayer dollars, and it hasn’t always enforced its own rules to ensure good development. For the next roughly 45 minutes, the board turned its eye to the future, trying to narrow down where they would like to see the county going and how that translates into the written word when formulating things like their vision statement. In their general statements about their visions of the future Carmack talked about not wanting to see more large subdivisions or rural developments coming in, while Byerly mentioned not wanting more residential along Anderson Highway, reserving it instead for commercial growth. As he had several times throughout the meeting, Cox placed an emphasis on “dark skies and open spaces.” Williams emphasized the need for good thoroughfare planning. Nordvig emphasized terms like rural community and rural feel. Other items included a having a longterm water supply; maintaining the same quality of service levels regardless of how the county’s population numbers or makeup change; having a compact but expanded Village area; and possibly having a more developed tourism or agribusiness/agritourism strategy.
Mission statement A broader strategic plan starts with an overarching vision statement for the future, but the county’s mission statement re-
Did you know that there are more than 15 million single moms in America today that are currently raising more than 22 million of America's youth? Due to the skyrocketing costs, many single mothers are unable to afford quality childcare on one salary alone. They need help in order to hold down a job and provide for their families. This is The Sophie House’s largest fundraising event of the year. All proceeds raised go directly to supporting programs for families, enabling them to go from instability to stability.

ally deals with the role of the local government, Peterson said. In their discussion about formulating a mission statement, some of the roles the supervisors said they feel they have a responsibility to uphold include: providing quality services; being fiscally responsible; good planning and zoning; accountability to citizens; being efficient and effective; being transparent, and protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens. They also talked about the need to uphold several core values: honesty/integrity, transparency, service-oriented, approachability, accountability, and compassion. When asked about prioritizing these core values, Peterson, who is also a supervisor in Goochland County, said transparency is paramount. Peterson wrapped up the meeting by developing a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) list. Some of the strengths of Powhatan that the board highlighted included: strong com-
munity, small population, rural, excellent schools, limited government, beautiful views, great location, no BPOL tax, strong heritage, great people, a lovely Village area, good state and local parks, equestrian-friendly, access to two rivers, advanced educational opportunities, and strong outdoor opportunities. Peterson pointed out that the strengths are the areas where the county is in good shape, so the board might choose to mostly maintain those so it can focus on filling in gaps where it is not as strong. Some of the weaknesses/ challenges the board discussed included: transportation (making sure roads are well maintained with limited resources); the imbalance of the 92-8 residential-to-commercial radio; lack if broadband infrastructure; county debt; needing a water/ sewer infrastructure and water supply plan; a limited supply of building spec spaces; lacking an economic development plan, and limited retail stores.
Regarding opportunities, the board talked about Powhatan’s relative attractiveness on Route 60 to businesses over Chesterfield County and the concentration of land ownership along that byway that might lend itself to cohesive growth. The discussion about opportunities created some debate as to the future development that will be most beneficial for the county, especially regarding the issue of wanting commercial versus residential growth. Peterson acknowledged this is a debate every locality struggles with: needing rooftops to attract businesses but then having to increase services to serve the additional residents. The board wrapped up their first special meeting after about three hours. Peterson said the next meeting on March 5 will focus on the specific goals, objectives, and measurement areas inside strategic planning.

health insurance rate increase (the number is not known so a $195,000, or 5 percent, placeholder, was used). Before the budget presentation, Johns gave another presentation on health insurance that focused primarily on a comparison of costs between the school division and county employee compensation, as well as the additional costs to the schools if the school board decided to contribute the same employer amount for school employees as the county contributes for their employees. There is also the issue of how competitive the school division’s insurance rates are compared to surrounding jurisdictions regarding attracting quality employees. Rounding out the projected increases to the budget is $136,392 to fund a lower cost to those electing to use the family plan of two of the district’s health insurance plans to make them more attractive and competitive with surrounding jurisdictions. Presenting a balanced budget was possible because of early projections of local and state increases, Jones said. Based on the governor’s proposed budget, which is still subject to General Assembly action, Powhatan County

percent when compared with December 2018. WiFi usage more than tripled when compared to the same month of 2018. New borrowers and programming attendance also experienced significant growth. The library looks forward to continued growth in the coming year. December 2019 marked a season of giving at the library. The library partnered with the Powhatan Christmas Mother by hosting a tree filled with angel tags. Gifts for 15 children and 15 senior citizens in the community
Public Schools would see a state increase in funding of $678,281. Jones said he also received early numbers from county staff on Feb. 10 that project an increase of $904,438 in local funds, subject to approval by the board of supervisors. Rick Cole, who represents District 1, and Valarie Ayers, District 3, both commended Jones and school division staff for their work on the budget so far and the informative presentations. Some of the other points discussed during the budget presentation included: „ The school board had a lengthy discussion about custodial services in the schools, which are currently contracted. Kim Hymel, District 5, brought up issues with complaints from school staff members about the cleaning job being done – specifically how it might get better for awhile after numerous complaints but then seems to deteriorate again. Hymel asked for more information about the possibility of bringing custodial services back in house, and the board discussed the pros and cons of that as well as a plan to better monitor the current company to make sure it is fulfilling its contractual obligations. „ Jones pointed out
that projected enrollment for the 2020-2021 school year is 4,330, which would be the highest the school district has seen since the 2012-2013 school year. „ Jones also presented staffing levels for the last seven school years to show that it has not seen significant increases. The school division did see a significant decrease in staff numbers in the 2018-2019 school year, when it outsourced food service, but otherwise has remained fairly level from year to year. He added that there is a perception among some in the county that the school division is constantly growing its staff, but numbers show that it overall remains relatively level. „ The cost per pupil in Powhatan in 2018 was $11,032, which was $1,516 less than the state average, Jones said. In a state with 132 school districts, Powhatan ranked 89th with 88 other divisions having higher costs, he added. Powhatan's projected costs for 2019 and 2020 are $11,120 and $11,375 respectively. „ Instead of focusing only on future spending, Jones pointed out several successes for the division that will save taxpayer dollars. The county completed two capital improvement plan (CIP) projects that came in under budget. Powhatan Middle School

came in at $426,124 under budget and the joint transportation facility was $39,443 under, for a total savings of $465,567 returned to the county. The school division established a capital maintenance reserve fund in 2015 and has contributed $1,703,360 to it, Jones said. The fund has supported several projects, including the chiller at the high School ($300,290); the joint transportation facility that was initially under budgeted ($62,854), and the Trane performance energy contract project ($500,000). By choosing to engage in the performance energy contract with Trane and a project with Sun Tribe Solar that involved putting solar panels on four of the schools, the school district was able to reduce its CIP funding needs by $9,390,000 while accomplishing goals such as replacing the sloped roof at Powhatan Elementary and addressing major mechanical items at Pocahontas and Powhatan Elementary schools. „ Jones also provided the school board with a running list of mandated budget increases since FY 2012 that the school division has had to fund.

Blessed Sacrament students celebrate community service Contributed Report
T
he tradition of wearing uniforms to show community spirit and unity is the norm for students attending Blessed Sacrament Huguenot School. But the week of Jan. 26, students celebrated Catholic Schools Week wearing pajamas, and bringing donations of over 100 new PJ’s to give to the young people at the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls. Anyone in the community who wants to participate in this community service project is invited to drop off a new set in sizes from youth XL to adult size small to large at the school office or send them in with a BSH student in your neighborhood or church. Students also donated more than 800 pairs of shoes to Soles 4 Souls earlier in the school year, and they donated over 400 coats for the Coats for Kids coat drive sponsored by Puritan Cleaners. Lower school students also make monthly visits donating food to food insecure children through Backpacks of Love. Recently, Kelin Flowers and her fifth-grade students gathered snacks, fruit, food with protein, and drinks to fill 215 bags for Backpacks for Love to be distributed in Powhatan. “Community service is fundamental to Catholic education,” BSH Head of School Paula Ledbetter said. “Service builds compassion and kindness in our students. Their service then helps to build a better community. Catholic or not, we embrace students of all faiths as it is everyone’s responsibility to contribute in making our school and our community a better place for all people.”

Students at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot celebrated Catholic Schools Week with community service projects such as gatherring donations for Backpacks of Love, above, and the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls.
Community service projects touch the hearts of BSH students “Community service teaches us how to be leaders and how to give back to the community,” said Sara Cline, a BSH 10th-grade student. Lower school BSH students involved with Backpacks of Love donations explained how the project and monthly visits make them feel. “It feels right and good to help the people who don't have enough food for the weekend,” said BSH lower school student Abigail Hedrick in grade four. “I was happy when I was putting the food in bags for other people with my friends,” said first-grader Owen Flowers. “It felt good to give food to people that don't have a lot of food,” Jack Hickey, fourth grade, said. “I thought it was a good effort to do nice things for kids that do not have a lot,” Gray-
son Howerton, another fourthgrader, added. “I hope they aren't hungry anymore,” Peyton Ledbetter in second grade said. Working on the Coats for Kids donation project, secondgrader Bailey Dowdy said, “I was sad that they might not have any coats, but now I am happy because we helped them.” Brantley Turner, also in second grade, said, “I hope that the kids aren't cold this winter with

the coats we gave them.” “It's important that students at BSH give back to kids and families in need by donating items or volunteering for community projects,” said Lily Hickey, an eighth-grader. “Sometimes people need a little extra help. We are surrounded by a very good support system, and not everyone is so fortunate.” “I want to be a teacher when I grow up,” said Makalya Merritt in seventh grade. “I enjoy CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

doing service projects that help younger kids stay safe and warm.” Sophomore Kenny Hickey said, “We are really thankful for what we have, so giving back to the community is our way of showing our appreciation.” Another fourth-grade student Jack Hickey summed up the Catholic Schools Week PJ’s donation project, “I like dress down days because I get to wear my favorite clothes, especially PJs.” In addition to regular studies, special activities were planned throughout the week and students were encouraged to get creative wearing outfits in red, white and blue to celebrate America one day, and non-uniform outfits in the BSH school colors of blue and grey another day. Last Sunday, students who showed their school spirit wearing their regular uniform to church earned a pass to not wear their uniform at school one day.

Masonic Lodge and YMCA have been key supporters by assisting with the promotion of this endeavor. The next blood drive will be held on Feb. 27 from 1 to 6 p.m. at the library. In January, the library offered three sessions of an "E-books Made Easy" class to assist patrons with utilizing online resources available from the library. E-book usage at the library continues to grow and was up 30 percent in December 2019 when compared to the previous year. Two new programs at the library kicked off in January. Keep Calm and Carry Yarn, a weekly handicraft group, which meets on Friday mornings, was met with enthusiasm by local crafters. Lego Club participants showed great enthusiasm about having their creations showcased in the library’s display case. Lego Club, an afterschool building adventure for ages 6-12, meets most Mondays until 5 p.m. The library hosts free tax preparation services provided by the AARP each year. In 2019, tax preparation provided
625 citizens with assistance, which was a 6 percent increase over the previous year. Library staff is available as needed to assist patrons with completing the AARP’s new online appointment system in preparation for another busy tax season. Beginning Feb. 1, and continuing through the end of February, Powhatan County Public Library will celebrate Black History Month with children’s crafts celebrating the rich cultural contributions of African Americans. Crafts will be available at the library’s popular atrium area craft table and will change weekly. Themed book displays for children and adults, as well as a collection of documents relating to Powhatan County history, will also be available to round out the celebration. Library programs continue to be well-attended, including the library’s weekly early literacy-focused Family Storytime, Music & Movement, and Community Playdates; Library for All, the library club for adults with special needs; and Teen Tuesday which is a service club for area middle and high school students.

Will You Obey Him?
Hebrews 11:8 “By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.� In the Bible’s great “Heroes of Faith� chapter we are shown what faith looks like when it pleases God. It obeys what He says. Anything less is wasting time. Abraham could be said to be the prototype of faith. His life shows how it is done. Truly it is said that “Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,� (1 Sam 15:22) You claim faith? Obey Him!

ful event under their belts to raise money for the Free Clinic of Powhatan and Habitat for Humanity – Powhatan, said Terry Sanders, who is president of the Habitat board and co-chair of the gala committee with Connie Moslow. The committee does not have the total amount raised, which will be split evenly between the nonprofits, she said. However, they already know they raised at least $10,000 more over last year through a live auction and an appeal given during the evening. “We will not know the total amount brought in for several weeks after all bills are paid,� she said. “As in the past, the event sold out, which is so amazing! This speaks so highly of the support for Habitat for HumanityPowhatan and the Free Clinic of Powhatan.� The format of the Valentine Gala was switched up this year, moving the formal black tie event away from a sit-down
dinner and instead having internationally-inspired fare sprinkled throughout the space for guests to discover as they walked around. Sanders said the Mill worked with them to develop the format and the staff carried it off beautifully. “Everyone seemed to enjoy the new format. The food stations allowed our guests to pick and choose their favorite foods and even experiment a little with foods they may have never tried before. After the auction, the dance floor was full until the end of the evening,� Sanders said. After a robust live auction, guests heard a brief appeal from Moslow, who is the director of the Free Clinic of Powhatan, and Roseleen “Spud� Rick, the executive director of Habitat For Humanity – Powhatan. Moslow talked about the move the clinic is making from its current space to the former school board building on Skaggs Road, which will be renovated this year
and hold the clinic and county offices. The move will allow the clinic to increase its operations, including dental care. Moslow also touched on the impact the clinic is having on the public school system with mental health offerings at Powhatan High School that are now expanding to Powhatan Middle School. There are young people facing heavy burdens and pressures who need that extra support, she said, and the nonprofit is glad it could step in to help. Rick talked about Habitat’s critical repair program, which has become a huge push for the nonprofit because it helps a variety of people with issues such as leaky roofs, ramps, plumbing, poor insulation, and other issues that, when addressed, can improve a person’s quality of life. Their speeches were followed by a direct appeal for cash donations, which brought in $17,150 compared to $8,200 the year before. Sanders said they were astounded and grateful for the support.

Wacky words can work wonders on the world By Laura McFarland News Editor
I
t’s time to flex my nerd muscles again. I have talked in the past about many of the reasons I am a nerd and the fact that I own all of them. One of my favorites is my love of the idiosyncrasies of the English language and how absolutely discombobulating it can be at times. Last week, I was minding my own business scrolling Facebook when I came across a great post about “some of the best words literally ever.” I didn’t want to be persnickety by questioning the poppycock that would invoke such over-exaggerated phrasing and risk causing a kerfuffle. I will instead embrace the spirit of joy inspired by the nincompoop who wrote it and get up to some literary shenanigans that will leave some people gobsmacked with my flibbertigibbet ways. I won’t lollygag around – let’s dive right in. I am a bit flummoxed as to why silly things like this bring me so much happiness. I will say that when I was a young whippersnapper, I loved reading those thingamajigs with all the words above all else. (I probably mention this fact every time I write a column about Powhatan County Public Library’s awesome summer reading program, and, if I am being honest, it will likely come up again.) My mom says as soon as I started
to read – probably around kindergarten age – it was my preferred way to spend my time. I shared a room with my two older sisters, so I was used to noise. But if all of that sister brouhaha got to be too much, I would escape to a hallway to read with the gerbils we owned (this is something I actually heard from my mom and do not remember) or head to the couch in the living room if the doohickey wasn’t on too loud. It helped that I had a number of people in my immediate family who loved reading those whatchamacallits as much as I did. Mom read us stories and Bible stories every night, and my maternal grandmother was a voracious reader. Mom said I would come home from the school library with plenty of whatnots to devour, and she kept a steady supply at home as well as visiting the public library, so there was never a lack of choice. But if we are talking about language and how it makes us feel, I wouldn’t just talk about thingamajigs. My family could be colorful at times, so that meant I grew up with a variety of influences on my language skills. Either because of impatience or genuine forgetfulness (or maybe replacing a lifetime of cuss words after he became a Christian), my grandfather would constantly point at things and tell you to bring him the whatsit. And if you did not know immediately which object he was referencing, he would become flabbergasted and look at you like you were a dingleberry.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Governor Northam shouldn’t target fuel-efficient vehicles to panic tax Dear Editor, The governor shouldn’t panic tax fuel-efficient cars. The governor is worried about declining gas taxes revenue and is proposing surcharge taxes on drivers of gasoline hybrid electric cars like the Toyota Pruis and electric cars. The extra taxes are based on the idea that they don’t burn enough gasoline in a sitting like big gas guzzling SUVs do. The reality is electric cars and hybrid cars pay more in gas taxes and other benefits to the public than SUVs do in Virginia. The first benefit of having electric cars on the road is they offset air pollution and the costs that come with it. The second benefit of having tens of thousands of electric cars driving around on Virginia’s roads is the electric car helps keep gas prices low for the rest of us who drive gasoline powered cars. As an example, between 2006 and 2011, gas prices were able to skyrocket to $4.30 a gallon in Virginia at a time when no electric cars were on the road. The electric car company Tesla started ramping up production of electric cars in 2012 and around that time gas prices started falling. Tesla now has plans of building 500,000 electric cars in 2020, and, at the same time, gasoline is $1.91 a gallon in Powhatan County in February 2020. This is due to oil companies fearing electric cars should they try to bring back $5 a gallon gasoline. Another fact about electric cars is declining gas tax revenue from electric cars is way over-hyped. The growing num-
bers of gas guzzling SUVs and big trucks is still growing in market share, offsetting most gasoline savings from electric cars. Electric cars also pay more in gas taxes than most SUVs in other states. Under the governor’s proposed gas tax, it increases from 17 cents a gallon to 28 cents a gallon. An electric car paying Virginia’s $64 electric car fee would have to burn though 228 gallons of gasoline a year to equal the amount it pays in gas taxes to the state. If that still keeps people up at night about electric cars paying their fair share into Virginia’s roads, they could raise Virginia’s electric car fee by $20 to $84 dollars. An electric car at $84 dollars would have to use 300 gallons of gasoline a year to equal the gas taxes it offsets. An electric car paying $100 dollars a year would have to burn through 357 gallons of gasoline a year in Virginia. Another fact is the gas tax is not Virginia’s largest source of road funding. The state currently collects a 0.3 percent sales tax for transportation to raise over a billion a year in transportation funding. The state’s 0.3 percent sales tax is currently VDOT’s largest source of revenue for roads with the gas tax in second place. The state collected $1.067 billion in 2019 using the sales tax 0.3 percent, according to VDOT’s website. If everyone went out and bought a Tesla next Tuesday the state could always raise the state sales tax from 0.1 percent to 0.3 percent to make up for the future gas tax decline.

Then there was the simple pleasure of growing up in Texas and all the color that brings to your vocabulary. If you broke something, Mom wasn’t livid, she was madder than a wet hen and likely to have a conniption fit. Added to that, my maternal grandmother grew up in Missouri near the Ozarks, and the colloquialisms she introduced to the family were their own brand of special. I honestly couldn’t think of any that I felt were suitable to share here, but, just know, they were absurd and usually mildly inappropriate. If you have made it this far and enjoyed the gobbledygook that peppered the above, thank you for your forbearance. I don’t want people to feel bamboozled if a cattywampus word they are particular to wasn’t used in this column, which is really just a load of codswallop. But if you have enjoyed this malarkey today, think about working a few of these words into your vocabulary in the coming days and see if you don’t bring a smile to someone’s face, too. Just a warning: it won’t be easy. Why just to use all of the words in that Facebook post, I found myself coming up with an absurd scenario involving a hypothetical German grandmother who liked to keep us on tenterhooks waiting for the pumpernickel baking in the oven while she canoodled on the couch with her beau. Now if you will excuse me, I think it’s time for me to skedaddle.
A box was provided by the National Association of Counties (NACo) to provide citizens a place to bring flags that need to be retired properly.

The Powhatan County Cooperative Extension Office and Powhatan Department of Public Works have partnered with Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Sciences (VDACS) to bring a free recycling service to area farmers and horticulture business that were, up until now, without a location to recycle their properly rinsed pesticide containers. The collection site is a shed in the back right corner at Powhatan Volunteer Fire Department Company 1, 3971 Old
Buckingham Road. Before bringing containers to the collection site, applicators must triple rinse or jet rinse containers, remove plastic sleeved label and/or label booklets, and remove caps. To schedule a drop off, contact Rachel Grosse at 804-598-5640 or 804-385-5370 or Dave Johnson at 804385-6231.
Backpacks of Love, nonprofit committed to eliminating hunger in school-age children by providing nourishing food for their weekend, needs help. In addition to the constant need for donated individual-sized food items, adults or students are needed to double bag the plastic bags the group packs in, which will help expedite the packing process. (This job can be done at home if people pick up bags at the pantry office.) The group also needs help breaking down boxes for recycling. This job should be done weekly preferably on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and/or Thursdays after packing days. These are great jobs for students looking for community hours. Contact Gloria at 804-598-2723.

is based on environmental factors; after 4 p.m., the winds are likely to be calmer, the temperature decreases and the humidity increases, all of which contribute to safer burning
The Commonwealth’s 4 p.m. Burn Law went into effect on Feb. 15. This law prohibits burning before 4 p.m. each day between Feb. 15 and April 30 if the fire is in, or within 300 feet of, woodland, brush, or fields containing dry grass or other flammable materials. “The 4 p.m. Burn Law is one of the most effective tools we have in the prevention of wildfires,” said John Miller, director of fire and emergency response at the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF). “In late winter and early spring, downed trees, branches and leaves become ‘forest fuel’ that increase the danger of a forest fire. By adhering to the law and not burning before 4 p.m., people are less likely to start a fire that threatens them, their property and the forests of Virginia.” The 4 p.m. time frame

conditions. Regardless of the time of day, it’s critical to exercise sound judgment when burning at any time of year. Even if it is legal to burn, it might not be
wise to do so. This is especially true if it has not rained in several days, the winds are high or if you don't have the tools and equipment to contain or control your fire. “The leading cause of forest fires in Virginia is carelessness. An unattended fire, a trailer chain dragging on the asphalt or a single match can ignite the dry fuels that are so prevalent in the early spring. Add a few days of dry, windy conditions and an escaped wildfire can quickly turn into a raging blaze,” said Miller. For more information on what you can do to protect yourself and your property, how to become “firewise” or to get a complete copy of the Forest Fire Laws, contact your local VDOF office or visit to http://dof.virginia.gov/ laws/index. htm#FireLaws. To take a quote from Smokey Bear, “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires.”
AARP Tax-Aide offering free services Contributed Report AARP Tax-Aide volunteers will be offering free tax return preparation again this year at the Powhatan County Public Library. In 2019, more than 600 tax returns were filed in Powhatan through this program. Because the volume of tax returns has increased significantly over the last few years the group is no longer able to schedule tax preparation appointments over the phone. However, people may easily schedule appointments online through a link on the Powhatan library website, www. powhatanva.gov/247/Library. In the
event someone does not have internet access or is not comfortable making a tax appointment online, the library is available to assist them in making an appointment on the library computers. AARP tax volunteers will also be available at the library to make appointments the mornings of every Wednesday and Friday during tax season (Feb. 5 – April 10). Free tax return preparation appointments will be available in the large conference room of the Powhatan library between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. every Wednesday and Friday through Friday, April 10.

Conner selected to VA Hall of Fame Powhatan baseball coach for 35 seasons part of Class of 2020 Staff Reports Powhatan baseball’s Gregg Conner, the area’s longest-tenured head baseball coach, was among the 14 coaches, contributors and athletes selected to the Virginia High School Hall of Fame’s Class of 2020, announced Wednesday in a release from the Virginia High School League (VHSL).
Conner has been Powhatan’s head baseball coach since 1985. In 35 seasons he has won 16 district titles, six regional championships and more than 500 games. He led the Powhatan Indians to VHSL AA state championships in 2008 (7-4 over Alleghany) and in 2012 (4-1 over Brookville). According to the VHSL record book, he is the winningest head baseball coach in the Richmond area and is among the five all-time winningest head baseball coaches in the State of Virginia. Conner has also coached a
variety of sports at Powhatan in addition to baseball, including JV football (1984), JV basketball (1985-86), cross country (1989 to 1994) and golf (1995 to 2003), and was Assistant Athletic Director from 2004 to 2013, according to the VHSL. Coaches Darnell Dozier (Princess Anne) and Jim Larkin (Chancellor) were also selected to the Class of 2020. Athletes selected for the class were Frank Beamer (Hillsville), Barney Cobb (John Marshall), Wheeler Hughes (Dunbar), Leroy Keyes (G.W.
CONNER Carver), Cora Jackson-Robinson (Essex), Jeff King (Pulaski County), Tara Sheets (Gate City) and Jasmine Thomas (Oakton). Contributors selected were
Charlie Cloe (Central Virginia Football Officials), Tom Dolan (Jamestown High School, VHSL) and Valerie Kibler (Harrisonburg). The 31st Annual Hall of Fame induction dinner is Sunday, April 26, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Charlottesville. Members of the Class of 2020 will bring total membership to 309. Conner will join Powhatan head softball coach Marie Crump and retired Powhatan head football coach Jim Woodson in the Virginia Hall of Fame.
Champs again! By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – For the three eighth graders who started playing for Powhatan Middle School’s girls basketball team in sixth grade, their very first game ended in a loss. But for the rest of middle school, they would never lose again. Those three girls – Shauna Callahan, Madalyn Johnson and Tuesday night’s leading scorer Katherine Cerullo – went 52-1 and were part of Powhatan winning three consecutive Southside Middle School Conference Championships. They’ve had games in that stretch where their backs were against the wall, but they always came through, Powhatan head coach Shell Daniels see MIDDLE SCHOOL, pg. 4B

Hall, Gaskins win regional titles By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor SPOTSYLVANIA – Freshman year didn’t really go the way he wanted it to. The same held true for his sophomore year. But this year, Powhatan High School junior A.J.

He also put in extra workouts

by shutting-out Eastern View’s Nick Nazarro in a 5-0 decision to win the Class 4, Region B championship in the 152-pound class. “Really, really happy for
A.J. Gaskins…a kid that we all have been around for a long time. We’ve known the talent’s there, just had to put it together, so it was nice for him to finally put it together, have a good weekend,” Powhatan head wrestling coach Jonathan Tanaka said. “We always talk about how you get what you deserve in this sport…that’s the awesome part there.” It’s the biggest win for Gaskins so far, who bounced back from taking a tough loss within the final 10 seconds of the finals see WRESTLING, pg. 2B

Knights defeat Raiders, win on Senior Night By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

POWHATAN – For Elizabeth Carter, Sidney McMinn and Katie Schiefer, Thursday night’s home game was a long time coming. After sharing the basketball court together as teammates for 11 years, the three Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights got to share it for one more regular season home game as they were honored on Senior Night. When the ceremony concluded and McMinn faced her opponent for the tip-off, one more goal remained to be achieved that night: beat Southampton Academy. And with the help of the three seniors’ leadership, 24 combined points from Madelyn Mitchell and Hailey Holcombe and a relentless defense, the Knights did exactly that, fending off the Raiders 35-27. “It was so much fun,” Carter said, “and to go out with such a big win, that was awesome.” “Senior Night definitely brought the intensity,” Schiefer said, pointing to the support from the Knights’ home crowd and student section. “To have this win puts us in a great spot for the tournament and…having our few losses that we did and the troubles that we went through as a team really built us up I think. That has allowed us to come to [the] point that we are at, and I think we can only go up from here.” Carter brought down four rebounds, had three steals and limited one of the Raiders’ leading scorers to single-digit points throughout the game. Schiefer added two steals and two rebounds and McMinn hauled in seven rebounds and one steal and delivered a block. “We like to turn our defense into offense, get our stops and push the ball, work it and find the open shot,” Schiefer said. Carter also netted 7 points and flexed her speed in the second half with two successful drives to the basket for layups. She added two assists. Schiefer scored 4 points and bookended a key 6-0 run for the Knights in the third quarter when she shook off a defender with a quick step to the side to net a jumper on the clear shot. She also
had two assists. Mitchell scored a game-high 15 points and nearly double-doubled as she secured nine rebounds. She added two assists. Holcombe netted a pair of 3-pointers and totaled 9 points. The Knights raced out to a 7-0 game-opening lead as Carter and Mitchell netted the first 4 points on buckets down low and Hailey Holcombe nailed a shot for 3. The Raiders were then able to secure multiple steals, rebound the opponents’ missed shots and outscore the home team 10-4 in the second quarter to cut the Knights’ lead to 18-14 at the half. But when the third quarter opened, the Knights were able to unleash a 6-0 burst, which ultimately helped them in taking a 6-point lead into the final 8 minutes of regulation. From there, steadfast team rebounding, a quick drive to the basket from Carter and points from the free throw line helped BSH retain control of the game. The Knights on Wednesday beat Kenston Forest 44-37 behind 18 points from Holcombe and 13 points from Mitchell. It was a bounceback win from Monday’s 73-23 loss to Richmond Christian. Mitchell netted 12 points in the loss. No matter the outcome in the playoffs, Carter, McMinn and Schiefer will get to end their high school careers having helped their Knights achieve a winning season on a 12-6 record in the regular stretch. “You couldn’t ask for anything better,” McMinn said. “This year has been the best in our four years.” “It’s definitely picture-perfect for us,” Schiefer said. “We’ve just got to continue and make our picture even more perfect…in the tournament. Just to have everyone and their support, it’s just really been special and definitely something we’ll never forget.” Their leader throughout their banner season has been head coach Phil Villiott, currently in his first year at the helm of the Knights. “He’s awesome. We’ve enjoyed every minute of playing for him. He’s an awesome coach,” Carter said of Villiott. “He knows the game really, really well, he knows how to control us and set us up so we will succeed and he’s good at reeling us back in if we get frustrated or we get down on ourselves. He’s really awesome.”
Indians head into regionals on high note By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor GOOCHLAND – Teammates Faith Henderson and Sophie Dolan both doubledoubled, Kayla Terry joined them in netting double figures and Powhatan girls basketball followed up a 54-37 victory over Class 4 opponent LeeDavis with a 63-49 win over Goochland in its regular season finale. The Indians, who with the triumph completed a sweep of the Bulldogs, were able to establish command in the game’s middle stages against a unit that two months ago challenged Powhatan for the win in the final seconds of regulation. “We’ve made a big improvement from December to now,” Powhatan head coach Kristy Henderson said. “We have grown, we have found our roles on the team and

we’re playing very well together as a team.” Faith, a sophomore, shot 8 for 13 from the field and 9 for 9 from the free throw line. She scored 10 of her 26 game-

at Powhatan High School’s Arrowhead Invitational. He’ll get to compete in his first state competition. “I’m just happy,” Gaskins said. “I’ll see what I can do at the state tournament.” He reached the finals against Nazarro after pinning Orange County’s Jackson Garnett in 2:33 in the quarterfinals and beating Dinwiddie’s Oscar Cunningham in a 6-2 decision. After he and Nazarro held each other scoreless in the opening period, Gaskins grabbed the lead on an escape, then padded his advantage with a couple of takedowns, including one that he pulled off after he pushed his arm outward to slacken Nazarro’s grip on his leg and, with his leg freed, completed his rotation into the top position. “I knew it was going to be a tough match,” Gaskins said. “I just stuck to what I know.” While it was a signature triumph for Gaskins, Sean Hall, at 126, just continued to add to an accolade-laden season when he pinned Louisa County’s Zion Villines in 2:54 to win his third regional
leading points in the first quarter with three buckets off of drives to the net, one off of a putback in the paint and one off of a jumper on a clear look that she secured when she
championship in as many seasons competing on the varsity mat. The Powhatan High School junior and 2019-20 champion in the Arrowhead, Big Blue and the Lee-Davis Holiday Classic invitationals took the lead when he scrambled out of a shot by Villines to get on top for 2 points. After Hall went ahead 6-3, he faced Villines from the neutral position during the second period and struck quickly to put him to the ground for the winning move. “I know when he takes his shots, he loads up really good and explodes off,” Hall said, “so when I kind of lowered him, it was kind of like he hit a wall… and just couldn’t go through.” Hall won all three of his regional matches by pins as he also felled Hanover’s Kole Kienzle in 44 seconds and Orange County’s Blake Wilson in 1:34. “It feels good because this is the first time I’ve gone to regionals with all three pins,” Hall said. “It’s a good thing, and then it also helps the team.” Tanaka characterized Hall’s performance as “Sean being Sean.” Like they were able to do with Class of 2018 alum, four-time high school state champion and current Virginia Tech wrestler Collin Gerardi, the coaches have been able to
stepped quickly to her right to get free of a defender. Faith also had 13 rebounds, five assists and two steals. Powhatan’s early success with its inside game paved the way for opportunities and shots on the outside. Faith twice got the ball inside, then was able to kick it out to Dolan, who dropped in two of her three 3-pointers that way. Dolan scored 13 points overall and hauled in 10 rebounds. After Goochland cut Powhatan’s lead to 3 points on a 3-pointer from Kenley Warren and a jumper from Jalyn Burns early in the second quarter, Terry, a sophomore, sparked a 10-0 run that would cement the momentum in Powhatan’s favor when she knocked down a triple on a shot down the middle. Terry capped the run with her second 3 of the game. She scored 11 of her 12 points in the second quarter alone. “When you’re a shooter,
send Hall out there and always be confident in his results. Hall will get to compete in his third consecutive state tournament this coming weekend. He was second his freshman year and third last year. He wants to get a little higher on the podium this year. “I just need to keep doing what I’m doing in practice and what my coaches tell me to do,” Hall said, “and that’s all I need.” Powhatan had eight wrestlers qualify for next weekend’s VHSL Class 4 state tournament at Tuscarora High School in Leesburg after placing third in regionals to runner-up Orange County and champion Eastern View. “Honestly coming in, I thought maybe six would be a pretty good number, kind of what we thought about where we’d end up at, so obviously eight’s fantastic,” Tanaka said. The upper-weights, beginning at 182 pounds, came through for the Indians as they’ve done all year, their head coach said. Linwood Hill (195) bounced back from a narrow overtime loss in the semifinals to achieve third place, winning by forfeit over Hanover’s Jack Epperly. He
and you miss the first couple – she didn’t get down on herself, she continued to keep shooting and then she hit those two 3s,” coach Kristy Henderson said of Terry. “That was a boost for us.” Versatile senior Michala Taylor bolstered her team with well-rounded play as she shot 3 for 3 from the field for 6 of her 7 points, brought down five rebounds and chipped in three assists and a pair of steals. “Michala, unsung hero at times, doesn’t get the points but gets the rebounds, plays the defense, is quick in the post, boxing out,” Henderson said. “She played really well.” Every one of Powhatan’s players got to play in last Tuesday night’s win over LeeDavis, and the Indians were dialed into the press. Faith led the way with 14 points, and Terry knocked down three triples in her 13-point night.
reached the consolation final on a 7-1 decision over Caroline’s Chris Poole. First-year varsity wrestler Tanner Palmore (heavyweight) pinned Dinwiddie’s Joey Meadows in 3:12 in the consolation final to take third. One of his wins came against Orange County standout Ray Pierce who had beaten him a couple of times this year. Fourth place finishers, who reached the third-place match to qualify for states, were: Dylan Coward (106), who in the consolation semifinals secured a 9-1 win by decision over Caroline’s Elizabeth Dosado; Gavin Timmons (132), who edged Orange County’s Cale Carr in a 10-8 decision; Hayden Fitzsimmons (182), who triumphed in a 5-3 overtime thriller over Spotsylvania’s Sonny Stewart; and first-year varsity wrestler Micah Holt (220), who pinned Dinwiddie’s Cornell Luccess in 57 seconds. Fifth place finishers, who are also the first alternates for the state tournament in their respective weight classes, included Andrew Cheatham (145) with a 13-1 major-decision win over King George’s Kameron Johnson and Hans Rehme (170) with a pin of Orange County’s Aaron Ratcliff in 2:59.

Coach Marable: ‘We learned a lot about ourselves’ By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor MIDLOTHIAN – To Ryan Marable, his first year as head coach of Powhatan’s varsity boys basketball team – and his first year as a head coach in the heavily talented Dominion District – was a huge learning experience for all of his team’s coaches and players. “Just to be able to play against some kids who love the game of basketball every single day, and who go out there and compete every single day…I think we learned a lot about ourselves – coaching staff, players – about what it takes to really win at this level,” Marable said. It was tough sledding for the Powhatan Indians this season. They wrapped up the 2019-20 regular stretch with a record of 2-20 after taking a 94-55 setback to Manchester. “Our biggest opponent all year has been human nature,” Marable said. “When human nature wants to tell you you’re tired or you don’t feel good, can you defeat human nature? Can you beat that opponent? At times we were able to do that, but not enough, not enough to be successful…we do have some kids who battled
through that and are able to – if they don’t feel good, if things aren’t going well – they’re able to keep going and just keep playing through that little adversity.” This season marked a lot of changes for Powhatan’s varsity boys unit. Not only did Marable take over as the new head coach, but the Indians also moved back to the challenging Dominion District. They also only had two returners who played substantial minutes last season in seniors Trey Moore and Jay Harris. “There were no gimmes in our schedule all year long, so I think that teaches you to be a man and be able to show up every day and keep working and not let the same things beat you multiple times and don’t let yourself beat you multiple times,” Marable said. “We struggled with that as a team… that’s just a big learning experience for us, and it’s a big learning experience for these kids that they can carry on for the rest of their lives.” The growth that Powhatan made as the season progressed could be seen in its two wins, both of them comeback efforts from earlier setbacks. After taking a 59-42 home loss to Midlothian in December, the

Indians this past month denied the Trojans 68-58. And then, in a rematch with Clover Hill, who in January defeated them 59-51, the Indians, playing at home on their Senior Night, fended off the Cavaliers 67-62. In Powhatan’s season finale at Manchester on Tuesday, Harris drained three 3-pointers and led all players in the game with 17 points. His teammate, fellow senior Logan Wyatt, added 15 points. Marable hopes all of the players coming back to the Indians next year will “learn from a guy like Logan Wyatt who showed up every day, brought his lunch pail and just
worked tirelessly and gave his all to the program and really had a great senior year.” “I think with the juniors, it should be a big eye opener, because they have had success, so now they know what it takes, and they’ve had failures and… they know what it takes to not let that happen again. I’m really excited about them,” Marable said. “I think at times, their talent – we think their talent should’ve led to leadership roles, but they weren’t ready to take those leadership roles this year. I think next year, and even starting next week, hopefully we’ll be in the weight room next week, and hopefully those guys will take that leadership [mentality of] ‘This is my team now. We’re not going to let that happen again.’ “Once the kids take ownership of the program, that’s when we can really take the next step.” The plan for the Indians is to work in the weight room with coach Blake Derby, and Marable hopes that the players will get in there on their own. The team is looking to do varsity and JV team camps, compete in summer leagues and hold open gyms outside of football workouts so that the football players can also con-

She had already qualified for states in the 55 with a time of 7.55. “They’ve been working very, very hard all season,” coach Keilah Tyson said. “The way that we set up training is, we wanted them to peak at this point in the season so when they do go to the state track meet, they are at their fastest.” The indoor state meet begins Monday, March 2 at 12:30 p.m.

said. And they were coachable from day one. “This group stayed on course the whole three years,” Daniels said. “They never changed who they were.” While the team was topheavy in experience with four eighth graders and three game-tested seventh graders in Caroline Camp, Erica Krauss and Emma Terry coming back, Powhatan still went 20-0 this season and routed its finals opponent Russell Middle School 52-24 with several newcomers in its ranks. It was the least amount of eighth graders that Daniels ever had on a team at Powhatan, but the young players, encouraged by their older teammates, improved immensely from the start of the season to the end, and all of the teammates stuck together. “It was really a team,” Daniels said. In Tuesday’s final, the home team rebounded well from the get-go and overcame first-quarter turnovers to grab the lead from Russell Middle School before halftime. A Russell player who was getting pressured by Johnson lost

the ball to eighth grader and second-year player Corynn Lampman, who was also part of Powhatan winning the conference title in 2019. Lampman raced the ball back to the other side of the court, drew the foul while going for the basket and knocked down the game-tying free throw. After Cerullo blocked the ball on Russell’s next possession, Russell gave up another turnover, and Lampman capi-
talized by hitting the go-ahead 2-pointer. Cerullo and Lampman ended the game with 28 and 14 points, respectively. Johnson and Terry each added 4 points for Powhatan and the energetic Erica Krauss scored 2. Terry, a seventh grader, was Powhatan’s starting point guard and the team’s floor general for most of the year, and Johnson, Krauss and Callahan anchored the team on defense. Daniels said that Cal-
tribute and potentially add more toughness and depth to the basketball program. “Hopefully we can really establish our offseason program where kids will be in the gym…just playing against each other, playing hard against each other the right way versus each other, and starting to compete a little bit more in the offseason,” Marable said. Thursday’s contest marked the final high school game for Powhatan’s seniors Harris, Moore, Wyatt and Michael Washburn. “I think they learned a lot about themselves and hopefully – I told them in the locker room – hopefully when they have a team of their own, whether it’s their kids or their nephews or nieces…they’ll understand where I was coming from, and it will help them make kids better, and knowing that we really care about them as people,” Marable said. “This first group, they started this thing, and hopefully they’ll have a place to come back if they want to play and compete and make some guys better…two or three years down the road, hopefully next year, they can come back to games and really be proud of what they started.”
lahan was always guarding the leading scorer on the opposing team. “She loved that job. She just has a big heart,” Daniels said. “She was a difference maker.” While she matched up against a much larger Russell player who entered Tuesday’s final averaging 19 points per game, Callahan held her to 12 points. Krauss and Lampman held the point guard, who was
averaging 6 points per game, to 3 points. Getting to Tuesday’s championship game wasn’t easy. Daniels said his team had to play to survive in Saturday’s semifinal against Amelia. But the team depth, which Daniels began to build up in the early stages of the season, shined again when Callahan, Johnson, Terry and Krauss all stepped up to help Powhatan punch its ticket to the final. Following their win on Saturday and one day of practice, Daniels said you would think that, 20 minutes before Tuesday’s championship game, the girls would be nervous. Not these girls. They stayed loose the whole game. They never wavered. They weren’t cocky, their head coach said, but they were confident. “The pressure never built up on them,” Daniels said. “They were not fazed one bit.” In addition to Camp, Krauss and Terry, returners to Powhatan Middle School’s girls basketball should include Madalyn Adkins, Raegan Carter, Adrianna Flippen, Emily Gibbs, Megan Gobble, Nariah Howell, Marii Jones, Sam Martin, Brooklynn Narbut, Asia Taylor and Katelyn Williams.
