PHS honors top students of 2020 By Laura McFarland Editor

OWHATAN – Rachel Stegner and Talmadge “Wheat” Fralin lead the 2020 Class of Powhatan High School as valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, with grade point averages of 4.6607 and 4.5837. Stegner of Powhatan is the daughter of Christine Stegner. She plans to attend the University of Virginia to study biochemistry and environmental science. After college, she wants to continue her academic career with plans to earn a MD-PhD. Ultimately, her goal is to pursue a career in medical research pertaining to how environmental health impacts human health, she said.

“At the University of Virginia, I am entirely eager to continue my scientific studies. Additionally, I anticipate joining numerous environmental and social activism organizations as well as academic societies,” she said. “I look forward to the new academic challenges and experiences that I have been preparing for. Mostly, I am so excited to connect with my peers and establish a new network as strong as the one I am leaving behind.” While a student at the high school, Stegner was a founder of the Planeteers; served as president of Mu Alpha Theta and Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica, was vice president of the National English Honor Society, and was secretary of the National Honor Society.

She also was community service coordinator for the National Science Honor Society, was a member of the Computer Science National Honor Society, and participated in Powhatan Tutoring. Outside of school, she was involved in the Powhatan Earth Day Coalition and Special Olympics, was an academic tutor, and was a community litter cleaning group leader. For the past four years, Stegner said the high school has truly facilitated her passion for academics. She added that she has always felt encouragement to succeed in every regard from her teachers as well as her peers. “Without PHS, I may never have recognized my eagerness to study the sciences. It was

through dedicated teachers that I discovered the career path I intend to pursue. Above all, the amazing teachers I have had the pleasure of knowing and learning from have prepared me in every aspect for the future ahead,” she said. “The combined efforts of my incredible teachers, family, and friends ultimately fostered my academic growth as valedictorian. I truly appreciate their constant support and devotion. They have all profoundly encouraged me in all of my pursuits and I am truly thankful for all of their support over the past four years. I am honored to be named valedictorian of Powhatan High School’s class of 2020.” Fralin of Powhatan is the

Bucky Tilman preserves historic building in Village By Laura McFarland

POWHATAN – When Bucky Tilman talks about the building that once housed Crump’s Store in the Powhatan Village area, there is almost a reverence in his voice. He can remember where signs hung in the store, recalls with laughter when he would eat the broken cookies and sneak slices of cheese to the annoyance of owner Judson Crump, and talks about listening to stories of the old men who gathered there regularly, including his grandfather, Zip Tilman. “Occasionally they would tell a risqué story and Grandfather

would tell them to ‘hush up around the boy,’” Buck Tilman says with a grin. Although it has been more than five decades since the store closed and the building went on to serve other purposes, for Tilman, it will always be Crump’s Store. So when he heard the old building situated next to the County Seat Restaurant and Gathering Place was set to be taken down, Tilman said he would do the removal. But instead of throwing everything in a dumpster, he is preserving as much of the salvageable original construction materials as possible in hopes of reconstructing the building and see TILMAN pg. 8

Roseleen ‘Spud’ Rick is retiring as executive director of Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan this month.

By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – Ask Roseleen “Spud” Rick what she has accomplished in the last two years serving as executive director of Habitat for Humanity – Powhatan and the responses always start with “we.” “We” finished two houses and the families have moved in successfully. “We” purchased two additional lots, one of which has already been cleared. “We” opened the Habitat Store to take donations of usable items that can be sold and the profits used to help others. “We” held two very successful annual fund

drives, Valentine Galas, and golf tournaments. “We” built up the critical repair program from helping with eight or nine repairs a year to serving 45 families since July 1, 2019, so they have more livable homes. And she’s right – it has taken a village. Board members, donors, volunteers, and businesses all make up an integral part of making Habitat’s mission a reality, she said. “We could not live without our volunteers; we couldn’t survive. We depend on the volunteers for staffing the store, for helping with critical repairs, for helping us build houses, for helping us with the golf tournament and the gala. see HABITAT, pg. 3

Powhatan County Public Schools has found five locations to park school buses that will give Wi-Fi access to students who need it. The Wi-fi enabled school buses are part of the school district’s plan to help families with poor connection to the internet as they work to continue the 2019-2020 school year while distance learning. The five locations of the school buses are: Little Zion Baptist Church, 5680 Cartersville Road; Muddy Creek Baptist Church, 3470 Trenholm Road; Mount Zion Baptist Church, 2591 Ridge Road; Providence Presbyterian Church, 1950 Ridge Road; Powhatan Volunteer Rescue Squad Sub Station, 5901 Old Buckingham Road, and Macon District Volunteer Fire Department (Company 3), 6377 Old Buckingham Road. The school division saw negligible usage at the Fire Station 5 location and moved the bus from Company 5 to Mount Zion Baptist Church in the hope that it will be a more convenient location for community members to access free internet. The Powhatan Convenience Center is now allowing a modified schedule for disposal of “free loads,” which are small amounts of construction and demolition waste generated at a residence. They may be disposed of at no cost, no more than once per month, provided such waste is limited to the amount contained in one level pickup truck load without supplemental sides. Convenience center employees will track monthly free loads by documenting the vehicle, license plate, and a description of the individual. At this time the convenience center will also resume metal recycling and oil/ antifreeze/paint collection but will NOT accept any fee-based materials such as tires, appliances or materials in excess of the monthly free load. Commercial businesses are NOT permitted to use the convenience center. Free loads will only be allowed Tuesday to Friday subject to available capacity. Any resident attempting to dispose of free load material on Saturday or Sunday will be turned away. The Free Clinic of Powhatan is open and serving the community throughout this pandemic. The clinic has now expanded its mental health/ counseling services to be able to serve more folks in the community that are going through difficult times since the onset of COVID-19. If you are having difficulties/issues (sad, anxious, not sleeping, having alcohol issues, etc.) and need to talk to someone, the Free Clinic’s services are available with no cost to you. The clinic has professional counselors and a psychiatrist that are on staff at the clinic. This service is available to our community to help you get through this stressful and difficult time. For more information, contact 804-598-5637. Although the 25th annual Relay for Life of Powhatan originally scheduled for May 2 was postponed, organizers are still hoping to put it on later in 2020. As part of the 25th anniversary celebration, organizers want to honor the volunteers who started this wonderful event. In 1996, a spirited group of Powhatan volunteers held the first Relay For Life of Powhatan. They worked together to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Some were cancer survivors or cancer patients, and many others were friends or loved ones of people who had suffered with cancer. Organizers are trying to reach the volunteers from that 1996 Relay to

show their appreciation for the great event that they founded and passed down. If you participated in the first Relay For Life of Powhatan in 1996, contact Carol Beach at cmasten01@ hotmail.com. Visit www.relayforlife. org/powhatanva.

Field Day of The Past to host drive through fair food event Contributed Report We’ve all been longing for those fairs and festivals we have missed all Spring and, although we are not at the place where we can begin enjoying all that entails the fair atmosphere, A Taste of Summer will provide a sampling of those things to come. Field Day of the Past and Deep Fried Inc. have joined forces to present “A Taste of Summer,” a drive through fair food frenzy held on the Field Day of the Past show grounds from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. June 6 and 7. A portion of the proceeds from the fundraising event will go to the Field Day of the Past moving campaign. Deep Fried will be on the Field Day show grounds selling corn dogs, fried Oreos, funnel cakes, kettle corn and cool, soothing lemonade – all reminiscent of the fairs of our futures. Drive through the Field Day

of the Past, Gate F, circle through the grounds until you get to the Deep Fried booth, place your order, pick it up and drive away knowing that you won’t be missing the fair experience forever. Organizers ask that anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 refrain from attending and request that everyone wear a mask, as per the Goochland Health Department requirements. They also ask that you don’t stop to eat or visit while you are on the grounds. Directions: Take I-64, Exit #173, exit south towards Broad St. Rd. go 1/8 mile and turn left down Three Chopt Rd.

Operation School Supplies seeking applicants Contributed Report Community Life Church is so excited to offer free school supplies (everything on their school supply list) and a brand new backpack to any child who qualifies for the fourth year in a row. This program has been running for a few years now with great success. Organizers recognized that this year the need will be greater than any other year. This program not only offers immediate fi-

nancial support to local Powhatan families; it provides a great mental start for children to go to school happy and know they have the tools to succeed. It also serves Powhatan teachers. With the church providing these school supplies, it lets Powhatan’s teachers save their personal money or put it elsewhere in their class. The registration form can be found online at https://forms.gle/FH3cu1kWAkWn73nN6.

Pick up dates will be in August. Those interested are asked to register as soon as possible to provide the church with ample time to outfit each child who applies with the needed supplies. Families must register ahead of time to get the supplies, which is different than years past. If you need assistance registering come by the church from 1 to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays and ask a volunteer to assist you.

vices to try to find a solution, and she developed the quality relationships with those agencies needed to accomplish that, Sanders said. Renee Van Natter, Powhatan Community Action coordinator, said Rick had a wonderful relationship with her program. Habitat and social services partnered to do critical home repairs for local residents. “We have worked together since she started with Habitat, and not only is she an awesome lady to partner with in a business way, but she is a truly wonderful person. I know I will really miss her but have loved working with her these past few years. She will be missed and the next person will have big shoes to fill,” Van Natter said. At 78, Rick said she is running out of energy and wants to step down to spend more time with her husband, John. But she has loved leading Habitat for HumanityPowhatan for the last two years, calling it the best job she has ever had. “It makes me feel like we have accomplished a lot. We have moved Habitat to the next level. It is a little more stable than it was. We have more community involvement than we’ve had before. It makes me feel really good,” Rick said. Asked again to talk about HER accomplishments, Rick said she is most proud of the growth of the critical repair program. She saw it as a way of expanding Habitat’s presence and helping more of those in Powhatan who really needed the help. “I think that we have enabled people in the county – particularly elderly – to continue to live in a house that is safe and sanitary. I feel good about that,” she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

HABITAT We couldn’t do it,” Rick said. But ask some of the people who have worked with Rick for the past two years what she has accomplished, and the list keeps growing. Rick’s range of knowledge and her ability to work with all types of people has served Habitat so well, and her contributions will be sorely missed when she retires from the position this month, said Barbara Brown, store manager and board member. She is “unflappable” and always professional in her dealings with people. “She gave the organization structure. She organized how we handle applicants. She made sure we were compliant with state, federal, and local laws and ordinances. She provided strategic planning sessions. She educated the board; she developed an orientation program for new board members. And she has mentored everyone,” Brown said. Through Rick, Habitat has increased its grant funding, which has enabled the nonprofit to provide more support for critical repairs in the community, Brown added. Rick knows so many people in Powhatan and made great connections for Habitat to increase its resources. “She was the perfect person at the perfect time. Having Spud was a perfect storm. We were able to really grow and improve our services to the community,” Brown said. Besides getting Habitat organized and up to speed with its bookkeeping, record keeping and contact with the Powhatan Department of Social Services, Rick expanded the nonprofit’s footprint in the community, board president Terry Sanders said. She brought positivity and kindness to the role and helped in every area that Habitat touches, whether with the store, fundraisers such as the Valentine Gala and golf tournament, or the community partnerships, Sanders added. One of Rick’s most lasting impacts will likely be expanding the critical repair program, Sanders said. “I feel like we really have a superior critical repair program now and it is partly due to her efforts of working with the crew – the A Team we call them – and their respect for her and her approach to the homeowners when they call, how she embraces their need and tries to make a solution available to them,” Sanders said. If a critical repair wasn’t in Habitat’s budget, Rick would reach out to the Powhatan Coalition of Churches or social ser-

Faith versus Fear

Hebrews 11:27 â&#x20AC;&#x153;By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen.â&#x20AC;? The essence of the age-old dichotomy of how life is lived and the world is viewed is 1) a faith-in-Godview or 2) a fear-of-the-unknown-darkness-view. Moses lived the former because he saw what others did not see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; God and the reward. One sees or is blind. Faith gives boldness, fear paralyzes. Jesus said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do not fearâ&#x20AC;ŚBe faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.â&#x20AC;? (Revelation 2:10) Faith overcomes fear and â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śfaith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.â&#x20AC;? (Romans 10:17) If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in further study of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word, meet with us Wednesday evenings at 6:30. Details on our website.

Hey Everybody, My name is Sir Borris, and I am around 10 years old. Let me tell you a little about me. A kind person found me and I was not feeling well at all, I had wounds, was sneezing and underweight. I was picked up by some kind officers who then took me to the vet to be treated. I am on the mend now, and feeling a lot better, and gaining weight, I even have the energy to play and purr really loud. I survived out in this cold, harsh world alone with no food, shelter, and no one to love me, or protect me. I am really hoping someone who sees me will want to give me all that I have missed out on. I am being well taken care of here, but I really want a home of my own, a comfy bed, and lots of rubs from my human. If you would like to meet me please contact 804-598-5672 and the staff will be happy to talk with you, and make an appointment for you to come visit me. Hope to see you soon. If you would like to help the animals in our care you can do so by donating to our Medical Fund at Claws and Paws 4313 Anderson Hwy, Powhatan, Va 23139.

Much of this information was unknown or unproven three months ago. While COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory infection that causes pneumonia, it also attacks the blood, brain, heart, kidneys, and immune system. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a review of those effects and what can be done about them. Â&#x201E; The blood â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mounting evidence that a COVID-19 infection inflames the lining of our blood vessels. The inflammation in turn leads to blood clots that can do serious harm. One example is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy hypoxia,â&#x20AC;? we hear about on the news. Patients with â&#x20AC;&#x153;happy hypoxiaâ&#x20AC;? are those who develop dangerously low blood oxygen levels (oxygen levels at or below 92 percent). Normally, this would prompt shortness of breath and anxiety, which are the hallmarks of hypoxia, but not in these cases. Surprisingly, these people show no signs. Doctors suspect the condition is caused by blood clots in the lungs. News of the phenomenon has

prompted people to add a pulse oximeter to their first aid kit. The condition does not occur without other symptoms of pneumonia such as fever or cough. As knowledge of the clotting issues associated with COVID-19 infections has become more widespread, doctors now recommend treating COVID-19 patients with blood thinners in severe cases. Â&#x201E; The brain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A stroke is the most severe effect this virus could have on a brain. Strokes are caused by blood clots in the arteries leading to the brain. Strokes are happening in young patients as well as elderly. The virus is also causing milder neurological symptoms in some patients. These are a loss of taste and/or smell. One study found that 65 percent of those who tested positive for coronavirus reported losing their sense of smell and taste early in the disease. Taste and smell return gradually after the infection is gone. Â&#x201E; The heart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Besides clot-related complica-

son of Mary and Thomas Fralin. He will be attending the University of Virginia pursuing a degree in chemistry with a specialization in material science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The high school experience is a unique one. It goes by in the blink of an eye, yet when senior year rolls around the infamous effects of senioritis are felt. Powhatan High School wonderfully prepared me for college and helped ignite my love and passion for science,â&#x20AC;? he said. The support system of Powhatan High School is phenomenal, he added. Through his counselor and teachers, achieving his lifelong dream of attending UVA was ac-

tions caused by blockages in blood vessels, COVID-19 seems to wear down cardiac muscle through a lack of oxygen if the lungs are struggling, or as a result of inflammation. This appears to cause the heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right ventricle to enlarge. The right ventricle is the heart chamber that is responsible for pumping oxygendepleted blood to the lungs. An enlarged right ventricle turns out to be a good predictor of death in patients with severe COVID-19. Right ventricle enlargement is an important finding as patients developing the condition could not be predicted based on their other health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, or known heart disease. Â&#x201E; The kidneys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Studies from China and Italy early in the outbreak found that about 25 percent to 27 percent of hospitalized patients who died experienced injury to their kidneys. Why this is happening isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear. Kidney disease was most often associated with age and the severity of respi-

I am looking forward for the future, yet I cannot help but think of the wonderful four years I experienced at Powhatan High School,â&#x20AC;? he said. While a student at the high school, Fralin participated in the Future Business Leaders of America from ninth to 12th grades; was vice president of the chapter and region in 12th grade, and was a council member in 10th and 11th grades.

ratory distress associated with the virus. Â&#x201E; The immune system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some COVID-19 patients are hit by whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called a cytokine storm. A cytokine storm occurs when the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inflammatory response (meant to help clear out infected cells) goes into overdrive and starts attacking healthy tissue and organs. Blame cytokines for triggering things like the fever, runny nose, and aches often associated with a case of the common cold. To coordinate their attack on an infection, the cells involved in the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune response communicate with each other. They do this by releasing a set of proteins that serve as chemical messengers. These proteins, called cytokines, tell immune cells what to do and also tell the body to produce more of them to help deliver a knockout blow to the infection. The feedback loop for releasing cytokines can lead to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cytokine storm,â&#x20AC;? a situation in which excessive cytokine production causes an im-

Well wishers gather on May 26 in the parking lot of Graceland Baptist Church for a suprise 90th birthday party for Gloria Aspinwall of Powhatan.

BIRTHDAY Continued from pg. 1

when his family brought him to the end of his driveway and he saw the flashing lights of a long line of cars led by a sheriff’s office vehicle. “I had no idea. Then I looked up and saw the flashing light and thought, ‘oh my goodness, this is going to be something.’ And it sure was. It was wonderful,” he said. A week later, on May 26, Gloria’s daughter, Pat, told her they were getting out of the house after two months inside so they could go get a latte to celebrate her 90th birthday. But instead, she drove her mother to a parking lot where friends were waiting with signs, music, and well wishes for her special day. “I just feel so wonderful and so lucky that I have come to this point. I never thought I would be 90 years old,” an emotional Gloria said after the party ended. Terry Paquette said he and his family had been planning to make a big deal of his dad’s 95th birthday, but COVID-19 restrictions limited that. So he reached out to his fellow Lions, who were more than happy to come help make the day special for his father. Even before the pandemic started heating up in the United States, Harvey had been unable to attend Lions Club meetings because of an injury. So his son knew seeing any members of the club would be a special treat. Having between 25 and 30 cars filled with people show up for the celebration was beyond any of their expectations, Terry said. So was having the parade led by sheriff Brad Nunnally, who is also a Lions Club member. “As my father said, it was one of the most humbling experiences of his life. He just felt so honored by them doing that. We videoed the whole thing. He is still talking about it, as is our whole family,” he said. At his age, Harvey said he has had many experiences, “but nothing like that.” “I broke my ankle three months ago, so I have been pretty much housebound.

SECOND ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH

When the virus hit, I have stayed housebound. It was exciting to get down to the driveway and see all those people I know and love tooting their horns,” Harvey said. Similarly, Gloria was completely taken by surprise when her daughter pulled their vehicle into the parking lot of Graceland Baptist Church and she saw the people gathered and read some of their signs. The original plan was to have a big celebration in New Jersey, where Gloria was born and much of her family still lives, Pat said. She was going to see plenty of family and get two days to play in a casino. But those plans were canceled because of the pandemic. After the surprise, Gloria said she didn’t mind that the original plans were scrapped because she felt like the surprise drive-in birthday party was “meant to be.” “I feel so lucky. So many people came out just for me – just for me – and I have never had that,” she said. Pat said they received special permission from the church to use the parking lot, and many of the people who came to the party were friends who are former co-workers at Chesterfield County Public Schools or members of the Powhatan Democratic Committee. Two cars from the sheriff’s office also drove by with their lights on and wished a shocked Gloria a happy birthday. The party guests had to wear masks and social distance, and even though she didn’t recognize everyone, Gloria said she felt swell because of the trouble they went to in her honor. “Look at the trouble they have been through to do this for me. I am not special; I have a special day today, but other than that, I am just a mom,” Gloria said with surprise in her voice. “What have I done to deserve this?” “She is the best mom anyone could ever have,” Pat replied. “I dearly love her. All of my siblings love her and wish they could have been here.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Cumberland County Pine Grove School on list of Teachers of the Year 2020 honored Virginia’s Most Endangered Contributed Report Cumberland County Public Schools recently announced that the 2020 Division Teacher of the Year is Emily Overstreet. She will be eligible to compete for the title of Region 8 Teacher of the Year. Overstreet was also named Teacher of the Year for Cumberland Elementary School. She has been teaching art at Cumberland Elementary for 11 years. She is a graduate of Longwood University, where she Overstreet earned a bachelor's degree in art education and graphic design. Overstreet stated that she knew from a very early age that art would be a significant part of her life.

This year, he has also served as a mentor to nine seniors in their efforts to complete their senior projects.

Historic Places this year Contributed Report Local residents recently had cause for celebration when they announced on May 19 that the Pine Grove School Community has been selected as one of the 2020 Virginia’s Most Endangered Historic Places by Preservation Virginia, the premier preservation organization in Virginia. This recognition coincides with AMMD Pine Grove Project’s vision of “Preserving History, Expanding Community.” Pine Grove School’s origin is as humble as the former enslaved and free African Americans who established the school to educate their children in this rural, segregated, farming community. In 1916, black residents of the community seized the opportunity afforded them through the Rosenwald Fund and building project, to build a school. They contributed the land, a sizable amount of money, and the labor to build it, and the school opened to students in the fall of 1917. Pine Grove School is one of the few remaining Rosenwald Schools established in rural communities throughout the South for the purpose of educating colored children. The brainchild of Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute and Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears Roebuck Company, both visionaries, devised a plan to build state-of-the art schools for children who would not otherwise have received an education due to Jim Crow laws imposing racial segregation. The two-room schoolhouse served pre-k to sixth-grade students, who walked up to 5 miles to attend their cherished school. In 1964, after the school closed its doors, a group of concerned resi-

dents of the community, led by Robert L. Scales, rescued Pine Grove from auction by Cumberland County, and later repurposed the building to serve as the Pine Grove Community Center for over a decade. However, with the death of many of its members, the school became neglected. Pine Grove School was on the verge of demise until, in 2018, members of the Agee-Miller-MayoDungy families created a grassroots organization to save the school. The newly-formed group paid the back taxes and began to visualize a new life for Pine Grove. Shortly after organizing, AMMD learned about the proposed installation of a mega landfill adjacent to Pine Grove which would adversely affect both the historical integrity and the environmental integrity of the school and community, and a two-fold fight ensued. Muriel Miller Branch, an alumna, spearheaded the effort to save the school that she, her father, and numerous relatives and neighbors had attended. The efforts of the AMMD’s Pine Grove Project have been rewarded many times over by attracting family, alumni, community, scholars, legislators, environmental justice organizations, and historical and cultural institutions. It has become a beehive of inspired, willing workers. The mission of AMMD Pine Grove Project is to work cooperatively with a broad coalition of individuals and organizations “to protect, restore, and repurpose the historic Pine Grove Elementary School as an African American Museum and Cultural Center to showcase the contributions of the community that built and sustained it.”

High school recognizes Cubbage and Smith as top students Contributed Report According to principal Eugene Williams, the “2020 valedictorian and salutatorian of Cumberland High School are two highly motivated students that shine both in and out of the classroom. They have also been accepted to two of Virginia’s most acclaimed universities.” The valedictorian, Graceyn Cubbage, is the daughter of Kenny and Karen Cubbage of Farmville.

Celebrations show people they matter By Laura McFarland Editor

ast week I was an unashamed party crasher. On May 26, I had just finished an interview with Roseleen “Spud” Rick about her retirement from Habitat for Humanity – Powhatan and was driving home to work on the story. As I passed Graceland Baptist Church, I saw a group of people in the parking lot holding what looked like a drive-by birthday party. I pulled in and got there just in time to see a group of people spaced well apart and wearing masks offering 90th birthday wishes to local resident Gloria Aspinwall. They carried signs wishing her a happy birthday, played music, and gave her a tiara to wear. They even asked the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office to do a drive by, which it graciously did, and the look of shock and awe on her face as one of the deputies jokingly said, “You want me to come arrest you now or later,” was priceless. She was so incredibly humbled by the experience that it made me smile just to see her stunned reactions that they all would come out to honor her. Over and over, I heard her emotionally question, “What did I do

to deserve this?” This wasn’t the first such COVID-19 inspired celebration I have attended in the last several weeks. I was invited to and was personally able to attend driveby celebrations for a 99-year-old and a 10-year-old. I have heard about or been invited to similar social distancing efforts for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, weddings, and other celebrations that I couldn’t attend. There have also been an untold number of celebrations held via Zoom because that was the safest way to do it. The COVID-19 pandemic has completely altered the way traditional celebrations are being experienced right now. Huge family celebrations or trips are being replaced by quiet affairs at home. Last week I sent a happy anniversary message to a friend whose wedding I attended several years ago, and she told me they had actually forgotten the special occasion, and, when they realized it, decided to skip it this year. It may seem like a small thing in the face of larger issues – a worldwide health crisis, skyrocketing unemployment, businesses struggling to survive, families struggling to finish the school year, mounting racial tensions over recent killings that have shocked the nation, and food and supply shortages. And in perspec-

Clothes Closet closes By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – Organizers of the Clothes Closet of Powhatan announced Friday that the local thrift store, which has been closed since mid-March, was closing permanently. The Clothes Closet was operated by the Woman’s Club of Powhatan in a space in the basement of the Powhatan Department of Social Services Building. The club has been operating the store since 1978, although it was open before then, said Margaret Murphy, co-president of the club and co-coordinator of the store. “It was not an easy decision. It took us several weeks to face reality. We tried to find a way, but the decision was very clear where we were going to be led to,” she said. The Centers for Disease Control precautions pertaining to COVID-19 would require many more volunteers than the club can provide or would have the space to accommodate, Murphy said. Since there is also concern about the air quality in the space, which has long been a problem, it is not possible for anyone to take over the Clothes Closet in the current location. Staffing the Clothes Closet has always been very challenging, Murphy said. Through the years many people could not work in the environment because of allergies, asthma, headaches, etc., and for some the work was just too labor intensive. In recent years, it has been difficult to find volunteers from the community, a struggle felt by many volunteer organizations. The number of people shopping in the store has dropped significantly through the years, which is a good thing, but the result was donated items were not going out nearly as fast as they were coming in and storing the donations had become a daunting task, Murphy said. Organizers recently contacted all of the volunteers to see how they felt about coming back to the closet. Several who already felt their health was at-risk working there said they would not feel safe in a post-COVID-19 environment and would not return, she said. “Unfortunately, it seems COVID-19 will not be over any time soon, and there may be a resurgence in the fall and winter. The majority of us who volunteer in the

Closet are in the high-risk category for COVID so that was a major concern,” Murphy said. Organizers discussed their concerns about the air quality and lack of volunteers with social services staff. They learned the department has no other space available and no solution for the air quality. The constant spraying of disinfecting products on donations and surfaces, a COVID-19 precaution, would have made the air quality even more harmful. The four closet coordinators and the remaining members of the executive committee had several discussions about the situation but the reality of the situation made the decision for them, Murphy said. To ensure their volunteers and shoppers were in a safe environment, many more volunteers would be required, particularly to enforce the COVID-19 precautions, a requirement they could not meet. Additionally, there was a reluctance to place anyone's health at risk to work in an environment that has already caused many health problems. “We thank everyone in the community for their support through the years, those who shopped there and those who donated. We also thank our volunteers – club members and folks from the community – for all their hard work and dedication,” she said. “We are optimistic social services will find an organization in the community with the space and desire to run a similar operation.” Sharon Rochelle, director of social services, said on Sunday that an email was sent to all Hands Across Powhatan participants. Social services is waiting to hear if there is any interest from community partners to continue this program. Any contents that remain in the Clothes Closet would be donated to the next interested organization. Separate from the income the store brings in for charitable uses, the Woman's Club has always done a great deal of outreach in the community, Murphy said. The club has active committees – education, conservation, public issues, home life, arts and crafts, etc. – all working to address any need that arises. “Our members are hard working and generous and The Woman's Club of Powhatan will continue to make a very meaningful contribution to the community,” she said. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax:804-344-8746

tive, these celebrations really are a very small issue. But the reason we cover them in the Powhatan Today is because, in the face of all of those horrible and daunting issues we are faced with every day, there are still people in the Powhatan community wanting to spread kindness and joy. There are still people who are saying you are turning 10, you are turning 95, you are graduating high school, you are getting married, you had a beautiful baby… well, we want to celebrate that. The birthday party I happened across wasn’t a huge affair. They didn’t rent a hall, hire a band, and purchase an elaborate cake. A little less than 20 people met in a parking lot, wore masks so Ms. Aspinwall hardly knew who anyone was, played music out of the back of someone’s van, and displayed a few homemade signs. But to look at the birthday girl’s face, you would have thought someone lassoed the moon and gave it to her tied with a pretty bow. In this time of stress and anxiety, a small celebration or a small act of kindness can take on a huge meaning and level of poignancy to the one being shown the most important message any of us can share with each other right now: You matter.

Budget cuts, not tax increases are solution Dear Editor, In the best of times not everyone comes away from the budget process completely happy with the results. We are in unprecedented times, which makes budget preparation much more difficult. With that said, this board of supervisors was voted-in, in my opinion, for four primary reasons: keep Powhatan rural, clean up county administration, bring the debt/revenue ratio in balance, and hold the line on taxes. The first two have shown positive results so far, the third is a work in progress, but we are in the throes of a big decision on the last one, taxes. I can see a picture emerging that appears to show taxes are going up. Current thinking of the board isn’t following the words you yourself have often spoken for the past three years in public meetings and in private: “Powhatan’s taxes are too high.” The current tax rate is $ .88 per $100 assessed value. Retaining this number clearly shows taxes will rise. Why do I say this? At the January 27 board meeting, the county’s commissioner of revenue stated that property reassessment produced an average 16 percent increase in property values across the county. So, in my humble observation, if the tax rate remains at $ .88, then property owners on average will have a 16 percent increase in their taxes. In a recent edition of Powhatan Today, several scenarios were shown for the new tax rate that ranged from $ .80 to $ .88, and to illustrate a tax collection rate from 100 percent to a low of 88

mune response that can damage organs, especially the lungs and kidneys, and lead to death. There’s no hard data yet for how many COVID-19 patients are likely to experience a cytokine storm, nor is there a gold

percent. This attempts to account for some property owners having financial difficulties prohibiting their payment of taxes. For comparison, in 2007-2008 the “sub-prime” lending crisis produced a 94 percent collection rate of taxes. Changes were made to county budgets at that time to compensate, and, as a result, Powhatan weathered that storm. I assume that in planning for a similar tax collection shortfall the board is thinking that the taxpayer should be the one that pays the difference. If taxes are increased now who will be hurt the most? Obviously it will be those who have been impacted most by the economic downturn and who will be least likely to meet their tax obligations. It’s easy to “hit up” the taxpayer as only a few will complain. Asking county departments or the school board for reductions is a lot more difficult. If you listen to the media today concerning the impact of the COVID-19 virus all you hear is “we are all in this together.” If that is the case and you subscribe to that concept then let’s all share the burden to cover expenses. Budget cuts are needed and NOT reductions in a budget increase. That is not a budget cut. Let’s look at a hypothetical case. If another virus “crisis” reoccurs in the fall or later, budget adjustments may be needed. Those adjustments could be made at that time to compensate similar to those made a decade ago. So reinforce what you’ve already said in the past to hold the line on taxes and show the taxpayer that you honor your past statements. Don Silberbauer Powhatan County

standard for treating it. One study suggests blood thinners might be useful. The combined experience of patients and health care providers around the globe shows, COVID-19 to be more than a severe pneumonia. The virus has the ability to damage multiple or-

gans and doctors are still figuring out how to best treat it. Our best option in lieu of a vaccine, is to prevent getting infected. We need to continue wearing a mask in public, washing our hands frequently, and maintaining social distance when we are out.

possibly restoring it to the place he spent so much of his childhood. “I walked down here every morning before I went to school, and I would come down and see (Judson) every morning,” Tilman said standing on the steps of the old building. “When Mama couldn’t find me, this is the first place she called. She’d say, ‘Is Buck down there? Send him home!’” Tilman hired a small crew to dismantle the building piece by piece. They started on May 23, marking the siding, boards, and metal walls as they go along, and were down to the wooden frame by Friday. Tilman has a notebook of graph paper filled with drawings and measurements so he knows where it all goes. The floor is rotted through and will have to be replaced, but when the crew started dismantling the building, which dates to about 1920, he said he was surprised how many of the original materials were still in salvageable condition. If possible, Tilman said he wants to keep the building in the Village, where it belongs, instead of taking it to Tilman Town, a property where he has restored and rebuilt many older buildings. He has open property down the street and wants to rebuild it there, getting it to looking as close to his boyhood haunt as he can remember. He already has found CocaCola and gumball machines similar to what he remembers and is looking for more items. “I hope to set it up exactly like he had it,” Tilman said. John Rothert, who owns the property, said he and Michael Potter intend to replace the old store with a building “totally appropriate for the Village.” The building was built in a very low depression in the ground, which caused the extensive moisture rot that was in the floor structure. He is glad that Tilman is going to rebuild and restore the old building since the structure is not repairable without total teardown and rebuild. “Bucky thinks of the store as sacred because he grew up spending time there.

He is doing a great job and has a good crew. Buck has taken apart and rebuilt multiple old buildings (‘Tilman Town’) and will save this one, too. I am pleased to donate it to him,” Rothert said in an email.

Fond memories When Tilman talks about Crump’s Store, it is inextricably linked with the man who owned it during his childhood, Judson Crump. He was a unique individual, Tilman said, and he thought the world of the man. “As kids, we hung around this store every chance we got. Most kids in the courthouse hung around here. I probably hung around here more than any of them,” Tilman said. “And when my grandfather was old, I used to walk him down here. Most of the elderly men, who, at that time, were my age now, came down here most every afternoon. I have often laughed and told people I’ve gotten several educations over my life: I got one at home, I got one (at the University of Georgia), and I got one here.” Judson Crump, who ran the store after his father, Jamerson Crump, was an old bachelor, Tilman said. He was eccentric but likeable and was willing to help people. “If they couldn’t get something they needed, he would help them do it, and I am sure some of the time he never was compensated for it. He was a character in the true sense of the word, especially when you were a kid,” Tilman said. Tilman talked fondly about mowing the man’s lawn and getting a popsicle as a reward, the joy of having a nickel and being able to choose a soda from the cooler, and playing practical jokes on Judson Crump. He still looks sad as he talks about returning from the University of Georgia in the summer of 1968 and wanting to go see Judson Crump immediately. Unfortunately, the older man had died the day before Tilman arrived home.

served as the offices of the General District Court, which is what it was being used as when Rothert purchased it in May 1985. The court remained there until he finished the courthouse addition in 1992 and then it moved across the street. The building had several tenants before the Hair Court, which was the last business to call it home. The Crump sisters, Maude and May, lived in their old homeplace right next to the store that would sit in the middle of the front dining room of the County Seat today, Rothert said. When he built the County Seat, he moved that house onto a lot behind the restaurant and restored it in dent information systems, and school databases. Dingeldein will also monitor network security (including camera security and visitor identification system), serve as the chairman of the Technology Committee, provide professional development use of instructional technology, and prepare documents and reports as needed (such as the division technology plan).

about 2000. “The Crump Sisters came out from their home in Chesterfield and lived at the old homeplace in the Village on weekends. They always made sure it was kept up. After they passed I bought the property,” Rothert said. When Tilman talks about preserving the building, he says there have been people who questioned why, at his age, he would want to do this. For him, if the building is still alive, it means Judson Crump’s store is still alive in a way, too. “It’s my last crazy project; I am pretty sure of that. I can’t see doing this again,” Tilman said with a grin.

Seniors added to Powhatan’s winning legacy By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

rom the beginning of her softball career, Maddy Hayden knew she loved the game. She would go up to the high school and watch the Powhatan varsity team play. She was always inspired by those student-athletes – by how hard they worked, how good they were – and by seeing head coach Marie Crump lead the team throughout the years. “I knew that that’s what I wanted to do,” she said. For Rileigh De Weese, there’s so much to the game of softball – the friendships you make, the life lessons you learn and the pure enjoyment of the game itself. “It gives you so much,” she said. “You start playing, and you just fall in love with the game. It’s just something you stick with and don’t want to give up.” Madeline Peloke fell in love with the idea of being on a team, and with the competitive nature of the sport. She loved cheering in a dugout. She loved that support you get from a team. Kota Lewis said it was her teammates and coaches who made her stick with the sport through the years. ‘It turned into a lot of fun into me – more than just a game.” All four were gearing up for their senior season with Powhatan. To Coach Crump, they’re not only talented in softball – they’re great young women as well. “Our seniors fortunately took ownership of our offseason programs and their leadership qualities really stood out. They were there every session and led by example,” Crump said. “They had worked really hard to get ready for the season and, just as importantly, pushed their underclassmen teammates to work hard also.”

Bringing their strengths to Powhatan softball All four are longtime softball players who have also competed on travel ball teams outside of the high school season. Lewis was inspired by her sisters, who played softball, to pick up the game when she was 8 years old. From there, it became a family sport for her. She joined the Powhatan varsity softball team her junior year and would have started in the outfield her senior season. She felt that she always kept a good attitude, brought a good mindset to the team and helped teammates who would get down on themselves.

Crump said they were counting on Lewis playing a major role this year. “She is one of the hardest working players we have,” Crump said. “She gives 100% all the time.” Peloke, a softball player since she was 9, was part of Powhatan’s varsity program for four years as a pitcher and outfielder. After missing most of her junior season due to shoulder surgery, Peloke returned to action in the regional tournament last year. “We were excited to see her return healthy for her senior year,” Crump said, adding how Peloke was expected to help out in the pitching rotation and at the plate this year. Peloke, who had been a pitcher since she was 11, just tried to have fun with it.

“It gives you so much. . . . You start playing, and you just fall in love with the game. It’s just something you stick with and don’t want to give up.” Rileigh De Weese on the game of softball “In games you can see me singing along to the music in between dances and bobbing my head up and down,” Peloke said. “I like to hype up my team on the field because that in turn hypes me up as well.” Peloke likes to balance being serious with enjoying her time in the circle. And if she’s not having fun while she’s pitching, then she’s not going to do as well, she said. “I go out with the intention of going after every single batter with everything I’ve got, but also try and enjoy myself,”

Peloke said. “When I have fun and my team is in good spirits, we are unstoppable.” Peloke tried to be the loudest person cheering, and the most supportive captain. She felt she brought an energy to the field and helped to change the team’s mindset when it was down. “I learned how to become a much better teammate last year as I was sitting on the sidelines after my injury,” Peloke said. “I learned to take no game or practice for granted and that every player,

whether on the field or not, plays a crucial part to the team. Everyone needs to be supported and be supportive and I feel like I helped bring that mindset.” De Weese has been playing softball since she was 5, and she was with the varsity team all four years, pinch-hitting her freshman season. In an early-season game against Midlothian during her sophomore year, Crump put in De Weese to pinch-hit. Powhatan was down on the scoreboard. De Weese hit a double to plate two runs. Powhatan beat Midlothian 3-1. After that, she became part of the lineup and remained a key contributor both at the plate and on the field ever since. Batting third in last year’s see SENIORS, pg. 2B

order, De Weese could deliver a gamechanging extra-base hit in any given at-bat, and she would stay upbeat and cheer on her team, even when they were down on the scoreboard. Her fifth-inning grand slam helped turn the tide in Powhatan’s 9-7 regional playoff win over Chancellor last year. “I kind of like to just let everything go and just play the game I know how to play and then do what my team needs – if they need a hit up the middle to get an RBI – anything that really the team needs to get that win,” De Weese said. “She has always been known for her hitting, but we were excited to see Rileigh continue her defensive development,” Crump said of De Weese, who started at first base. “She really came along defensively last year and we felt very confident that she would develop even more this year.” In eighth grade, Hayden, who had been playing softball since she was around 8, made the decision to try out for the junior varsity team “and just show my face, make an appearance and maybe see what they think of me.” She went up there with an open mind, not knowing for sure what was going to happen. Not only did she end up making the JV team as an eighth grader, but she enjoyed one of her favorite years playing softball with one of the best teams she said she’d ever been on. She praised her team’s coaches, Sarah McQuiddy and Deputy Kaitlyn Crane of the Powhatan Sheriff’s Office. “Coach Crane really pushed me really hard to be the best that I could be,” Hayden said. “I just had a really amazing year playing shortstop on that team.” A four-year varsity player, Hayden played behind Mason Basdikis at shortstop her freshman year, moving to short whenever Basdikis, who backed up Ali Celiberti at pitcher, shifted into the circle. Her sophomore year she played behind Taylor Dickerson, a senior who had transferred in from Louisa, then started fully at shortstop her junior season. Hayden’s standout games included a defensive gem of a performance when she threw out seven runners on seven 6-3 plays in Powhatan’s 6-0 shutout of Fluvanna County on May 7, 2019. “Maddy is a very fluid defensive player and had a great season for us last year,” Crump said. “We had very high expectations for her this year.” De Weese, Hayden and Peloke were all part of the Powhatan softball team that reached the 2018 state final. “That was a big moment to get to play in that,” De Weese said. “Not many people get to play in state games.” “It was really special. I had never really experienced anything like that,” Hayden said. “Just being able to be a part of a team that did that and went to that final game, it’s just really an experience, and even though we didn’t win, I think that we all realized how hard we worked and how proud [head coach Crump and assistant coach Linda Farmer] were, and it was really just a special day.”

Gearing up for the 2020 season Peloke felt they were incredibly talented this year. “I saw a lot of potential in us and determination to make it to states again,” she said. “I think we were all ready to play our hearts out and be the best team out there.” Lewis’ expectations were to keep working hard. “Just because it’s your senior year, don’t slack off,” Lewis said. “You still have to earn your spot.” Crump said they were excited about the challenges up ahead of them, as well as the shift to the Dominion District in which they would play Chesterfield County and South Richmond teams. “I think this year, since we had a lot of people back, we learned a lot, so we kind of knew what we had as a team,” De Weese said. “I think we just had

more of a drive to go farther than we went last year. I think we knew each other more this year and we’ve grown a lot. I think we thought we could go farther in the playoffs and get better as a team each day at practice.” “I think we still had a pretty strong, solid team,” Hayden said. “I think that we did have some wins ahead of us and we did have a good chance of making it pretty far.” She knew that the four seniors were really looking forward to this year. “I really thought that this was going to be our year to stand out, having all four of the seniors on the field together,” she said. “I thought we were going to do big things.” But the official opening day of the 2020 Virginia High School League softball season would never come.

A season lost The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic began to grip the nation, eventually leading to all Virginia schools closing and to all VHSL games being cancelled this spring. “Unfortunately, we only had three weeks of official practice before our season was cut short, but we had been working pretty much all year with fall practices, hitting clinics and winter conditioning,” Crump said. “It is so unfortunate that they had to miss out on their final season because they would have done a great job in leading our team. “All of them would have played key roles, both on and off the field.” To Hayden, the news was pretty devastating. “I honestly didn’t know what to do with myself. The first thing that I thought of when they had cancelled the remainder of the school year was: Will I ever get to play softball again for this team?” Hayden said. “It was pretty heartbreaking, and when we heard the news, we all actually got together and went up to the high school field and just kind of hung out and tried to grieve together and tried to just make the best of the worst.” “It was a really hard pill to swallow at first,” Lewis said, “and it’s still hard to believe that it just all was gone – that we played two scrimmages and then it was just taken all from us.” No one likes to hear about their season getting cancelled, Peloke said, but she was very proud of how the team handled it. “Having our season cancelled really forced us to realize how much we loved the sport and how badly we wanted to play. I hope that carries over into next year,” Peloke said. “Other than that, I am just grateful that my family is healthy and safe.” At first, it didn’t feel real to De Weese. At first it felt more akin to a snow break – something that would only take out a week or so, not the whole season. “But with this going on, I kind of didn’t want to look at the down side of it.” She sought to approach it with a positive outlook. “I was like: I have all this time, I can train to become the best athlete I can be to get up there in college and do the best I can up there,” De Weese said. “I also looked at a lot of the memories we had, which was another positive thing.” The pandemic has shown Lewis that even when you get things taken away from you, you can still push through any given minute. “Because I’m still going to get my diploma,” she said. “It’s told me to push through – don’t let one thing push you down and knock you down – and to get back up again.”

Looking ahead Lewis is planning to attend John Tyler Community College and study nursing. “My sister wanted to be a nurse, so then I started looking at it with her,” Lewis said. “Going to the hospitals and seeing how much a nurse can impact somebody’s hospital stay – that just made me want to do it, being there for somebody – because a nurse can help or break a person’s hospital stay.” Hayden said she is “super excited” to attend Virginia Tech this fall. She’s planning to major in Human Nutrition and Exercise Science and, upon completing her undergraduate studies, hopefully attend Physical Therapy school, become a physical therapist and work in the sports medicine field so that she can continue to work with

athletes and be around the game. She’s thinking about trying out for the club softball team there in order to keep playing the game she loves. Peloke was originally going to attend and play softball for Christopher Newport University, but she felt that her shoulder did not recover enough or in the right way to allow her to work out or practice intensely every day the way she would have needed to in order to play college ball. So she, too, will attend Virginia Tech this fall. Peloke plans to major in neuroscience and hopes to go into medical school afterwards. Her goal is to become a doctor in neurology. De Weese signed her National Letter of Intent this past November to attend and play Division I softball for UCONN. “It didn’t feel real,” she said. “I watched all these girls over the years that I’ve dreamed of being like, watching them sign. … It didn’t feel real that it happened, but I guess it’s getting closer and closer and I’m getting more and more excited to go do it. It’s something I’ve dreamed about since I was 5 years old, to go play in college. I get to go live out my dream of playing at a D1 school – it’s just something I’ve always dreamed of that I get to go do.” She’s excited to play at UCONN, and she’s looking forward to playing in the Big East Conference – which UCONN is moving to next season – as well as to fighting for a chance to play in the NCAA Tournament. “There are just so many good memories that are going to come,” she said. “The team’s going to be so much fun to play for … just getting to play on the NCAA field, DI, getting to play against different big teams – it’s going to be so much fun.” She’s planning on majoring in Allied Health Sciences, pursuing a nursing degree following the completion of her college softball career and becoming a nurse practitioner in pediatrics. “I’ve always dreamed of doing nursing,” she said. “They go out at 110% each day – just thinking what they go out and do each day, it’s a lot of respect for them and what they do.”

“Going to the hospitals and seeing how much a nurse can impact somebody’s hospital stay – that just made me want to do it, being there for somebody – because a nurse can help or break a person’s hospital stay.” Kota Lewis on her goal of becoming a nurse The support of their team In her younger years, Hayden had several really great softball players and all-around student-athletes to look up to and have as mentors. And as De Weese grew older across the years, she was set on bringing the leadership and teachings to the younger players that she learned from the Powhatan softball players before her, including Basdikis, Tori Gilbert and Celiberti, who was her throwing partner each day. Peloke loved playing with her Powhatan teammates. “We create such an amazing atmosphere every year and we always get along well,” Peloke said. “We were all incredibly tight and I still talk to my teammates who graduated when I was a sophomore. “We will always support each other, and I think that’s really special.” Hayden praised varsity coaches Crump, Farmer and Sami Byerly for giving her “the greatest four years.” “I am so grateful to have played under them and played for them for so long,” Hayden said of coaches Crump and Farmer. “They have really shaped me into a better softball player, a better person, a better teammate, just a better athlete. They’re really great. I wouldn’t change it for the world.” The coaches helped Lewis become a better player both physically and mentally and also helped put her in a better situation both on and off the field. “They always explained to me how I was doing it wrong or what I needed to fix if I did it, so it’d help train my brain to do it better on my own without them having to tell me,” Lewis said. They taught the players discipline

“Failure and defeat. . . . can only make you better. That can only motivate you.” Maddy Hayden on a lesson she learned from softball and tradition, De Weese said. “And they also taught you how to go full-out. … You went 110% each day in practice and you went 110% on playing on a field.” Peloke said coaches Crump and Farmer helped her grow into a better player and person. “I will always appreciate how much time and effort they put into each season,” Peloke said. “They always wanted what was best for the team and I will miss them and the rest of my team.” Crump said the players have given so much time and effort to Powhatan’s softball program over the years, and have been so important in their success. “Even though they have missed out on their senior season, they can be proud of their efforts as ‘senior leaders’ in the offseason and in the few weeks of our regular season,” Crump said. “We will certainly miss them, but we know they will continue to do well in whatever they choose to do.”

Favorite times Peloke always enjoyed the games that were neck and neck. “Playing against Orange County and Dinwiddie was always fun,” she said. “I loved going to states and seeing my teammates graduate on the field.” She remembered one practice where they had the tarp down and it was pouring, and Coach Crump let them slide and dive on the tarp. “It was the best practice I have ever been to.” Lewis loved it when they got to do diving practices out in the rain, and she always saw the early morning practices as a good start to her day. Hayden fondly recalled how, when the temperature picked up and grew really warm towards the end of the season, there were times after practices – usually on Fridays – when they would go back into the field house and coach Farmer would give them ice cream. “She would always make us ice cream sundaes,” Hayden said. “And it was just the cutest little thing. It just gave us so much enjoyment and happiness.” Hayden also treasures getting through those long, hard practices together. “Just the blood, the sweat, the tears, just all of it – it does have an outcome and it does make a difference,” Hayden said. “We sometimes just get down on ourselves, but we know that good things will happen.”

Takeaways from the game Lessons like putting in the hard work, not giving up and continuing to try – to De Weese, they all translate from the softball field to life beyond sports. “It’s a game of failure … and you’ve got to come back from the failures you make, like striking out … come back and, what can you do your next atbat?” she said. “I’ve heard that from so many people. It really made me look at the game differently.” It’s a theme that resonates with Hayden as well. “Failure and defeat … can only make you better. That can only motivate you,” she said. “If you mess up, you can’t give up. There’s always another play. It’s such a fast-paced game, fast-moving, and there’s always another chance.” Nothing is given – that’s what Peloke has learned. “If you want something, you have to earn it,” Peloke said. “Every minute you’re in the game, there should be an hour of practice behind it. Success comes to those who work the hardest.” She’s also learned to take nothing for granted, and to appreciate every opportunity and gift that is given. “I’ve learned to win gracefully and lose gracefully,” Peloke said. “I have learned just as much from losing as I have from winning.” Softball showed Lewis that – whether you’re on or off the field – you’re a part of your team. “You still need to be there for your teammates and everybody else, even if you’re not playing.”
