Powhatan Freedom Festival rocks July 4th By Laura McFarland Editor

OWHATAN – At least a few thousand people are estimated to have gathered in and around the Powhatan County Fairgrounds on July 4 to celebrate the nation’s bithday. Organizers of the Powhatan Freedom Festival capped walk-in admission into the free event at 1,000 people, but people also watched the fireworks in cars from outside the gates, gathered in nearby parking lots and homes, and even lined the streets around the fairgrounds, said Melinda Hitt, who organized the event with her husband, Corey Hitt. As little as a week before the event, Melinda Hitt said she was just hoping for 500 people to show up for the evening event. So as momentum gained in the days leading up to July 4 and then people started to flow in, she was overjoyed at the community turnout. “I think it went so well because people were ready to feel a little bit of normalcy – the old way that we knew how things were before COVID. I think they wanted something positive and to get a break from the social media negativity,” said Hitt of Powhatan. Gates opened at 6 p.m. so people had time to come in and grab a good spot to enjoy the fireworks and a nice evening outside, Hitt said. While they waited for dusk,

visitors could listen to music, eat, try to win prizes, play cornhole, or watch a movie. There were also a few political candidates who spoke about the meaning of freedom, the importance of voting, and celebrating Independence Day. While called a festival, the event was meant to feel

more like a backyard barbecue with ith friends f i d than th a big bi production, d ti Hitt said. id She also worked to make sure safety was at the forefront of the evening out, hiring Powhatan deputies to run security for the event and putting stations throughout the fairgrounds with personal protective essentials such as gloves, hand sanitizer, and masks.

POWHATAN – Powhatan County Public Schools is getting its first taste of educating children in person under COVID-19 restrictions, and so far it is going well. The division is three weeks into in-person summer school with 70 elementary and nine middle school students attending academic classes at Powhatan Elementary School, said Isabella Worrell, elementary summer school administrator. Summer school will run through July 23.

PCPS also has 170 high schoolers attending summer school via distance learning, said Christine Phaup, secondary summer school administrator. They are either taking courses to recover credits or work ahead in academic classes or signed up for drivers education, physical education, or special education classes. The division didn’t need to provide classes focused on retaking the SOLs this summer since students were exempted from them during the last school year.

Farmers market opens in Village area By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – Powhatan once again has a farmers market where customers can peruse fresh produce and goods offered by local vendors every Thursday in the Village area. Although delayed for a while by COVID-19 restrictions, the Powhatan Village Farmers Market officially launched on June 25 and is steadily gaining traction as more people hear about the weekly event. The market is held from 4 to 6:30 p.m. every Thursday on the grounds of Bienvenue, an event center located at 3841 Old Buckingham Road. The farmers market is scheduled to run through the end of September with the possibility of follow-up pop-up markets in the weeks after, depending on weather, said Lisa Dearden, executive director of RVA Agriculture, the non-

profit running the market. It has been several years since the last farmers market left the Village, relocating twice, including a move out of the county to Westchester Commons and changing its name, before ultimately closing down. RVA Agriculture did a series of pop-up markets in fall 2019 in the Village to see if there was a demand for it and found people really receptive, Dearden said. “A lot of those vendors were looking for a place to market their goods. That is why we came up with the idea to have a series of pop-up events in the Village. On the Westchester page, everybody kept saying, ‘Come back to Powhatan,’ ” Dearden said. “So we collaborated with Three Crosses Distillery and had a series of pop-up markets in the fall. We had five in a row and they just kept getting more and more see MARKET, pg. 6

Public input sought to help broadband grant effort By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – Powhatan County is working with Firefly Fiber Broadband to seek a rural broadband grant to bring greater broadband access to the county and is seeking input from residents. Staff members announced in June that the most promising option Powhatan currently has to possibly expand the availability of broadband access is a grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Reconnect Program. Powhatan is part of a newly expanded broadband partnership with Central Virginia Services, Inc. (CVSI) which operates Firefly Fiber BroadbandSM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central Virginia Electric Cooperative (CVEC). Firefly seeks to expand fiber-to-the-premise for 1,559 locations in western Powhatan representing a total of $7.2 million of new investment in the county, contingent upon the successful award of grant funding. Firefly submitted a USDA/RUS Broadband ReConnect 2020 grant application in mid-April 2020. The county worked through March and April to help complete the application and successfully submit it. The grant winners will be announced in fall 2020. If successful, this project would expand fiber optic lines carrying gigabit level service to large portions of Powhatan County that have no reliable options for internet access. If the grant is awarded, the vast, new system will be built and connected by the end of 2023. Powhatan residents who are interested in supporting Firefly’s USDA RUS Broadband ReConnect 2020 grant application can share their critical need for broadband in Powhatan by visiting https://www.usda.gov/reconnect/contactus. Bret Schardein, interim county administrator, said the public input is important to the application process to show the need and the demand for service in underserved areas. “If people wish to write in or submit comments to help support it, that is an important part of the application process,” he said. On the submitted application, Powhatan did not pledge any matching funds for the grant, Schardein said. That could see FIREFLY, pg. 7

Powhatan County Public

Schools has found five locations to park school buses that will give Wi-Fi access to students who need it.

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 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.

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.

Woman pleads guilty to killing puppy By Mark Bowes Richmond Times-Dispatch

A Powhatan County woman pleaded guilty on July 6 to killing her former boyfriend’s 10-month-old puppy by hanging it with an extension cord from a tree. Yasmine Burton, 22, of the 4600 block of Bell Road, entered a guilty plea to torturing an animal causing its death in the Nov. 22 killing of Choppo, a tan and white pit bull puppy that was found hanging in woods near Burton’s home. Powhatan Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Robert Cerullo withdrew an accompanying charge of grand larceny against Burton for taking the animal from her boyfriend’s residence in Dinwiddie County. The prosecutor said he has not heard from the dog’s owner since Burton’s preliminary hearing in

BURTON December and subsequently has been unable to contact him. Burton faces up to five years in prison when she is sentenced Oct. 22. According to Cerullo’s summary of evidence provided in court, Burton arrived at the Powhatan Sheriff’s Office on Nov. 22 to report that she went to her boyfriend’s home and found his dog, which she claimed appeared to be sick and vomiting. Burton told a deputy that she took the dog to

her home in Powhatan, where it died. During her initial interview with the deputy she became visibly upset, saying, “I am not a bad person.” She then asked, “How much time would I get if I were?” the prosecutor said in his summary. “These odd responses caused the sheriff’s deputy to further investigate and send a second deputy to the defendant’s home where they located the animal deceased in the back yard,” Cerullo said. The deputy noticed what appeared to be red marks around the animals neck. During a subsequent interview. Burton admitted to killing the animal. “She indicated that she was upset with her boyfriend because he ‘beat me’ and ‘got me hooked on meth,’ ” Cerullo told the court. Burton then stated that

“she hung Choppo and killed him.” When asked how, she said, “I hung him with a cord and tied it around a tree. [I then] kicked the chair from under the dog and watched it hang.” She then untied the dog and it fell to the ground. When asked why she did it, Burton replied, “To get back at my boyfriend.” A necropsy of Choppo’s remains found teeth marks on the dog’s tongue and hemorrhage tissue around the trachea which is consistent with strangulation, the prosecutor said. No other illness or abnormalities were found.

Hey Everybody, Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s me Pinky. I am still healing from my surgeries, but I am ready to find my forever home. I have called this place home for over a year now, and really want my own place. The people here are awesome, and so was my foster. You see I recently had to have both ACLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repaired in my back legs, and with the help of a great rescue, foster mom, and my family at the shelter I have become such a new, wonderful, and full of life pup. If I had 1 thing to say I needed work on it would be the fact I can get a tad mouthy, especially with toys. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just because I get so excited with being played with I forget to mind my manners. Please come see me, and you will see what an amazing pup I am. Please call 804-598-5672 and schedule an appointment to meet me. Hope to see you soon.

50th anniversary

Task force divided on options for start of new school year Staff Report A task force charged with helping plan the start of the 2020-2021 school year for Powhatan County Public Schools seems to largely favor either a full-time return to learning or a hybrid plan for students. On July 9, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, sent out an update on the PCPS Return to Learning Task Force, which had its second meeting a day earlier. The task force reviewed current information from the Virginia Department of Education and Virginia Department of Health, received reports from three subcommittees, and made recommendations for the school board to review. The task force’s subcommittees evaluated three different instructional models they were asked to consider for the start of the new school year: full-time virtual learning, a full-time return to school, and a hybrid model. After receiving each of the subcommittee reports and a full discussion of each model, the full task force voted on a preferred model to start the 2020-2021 school year. Seventeen members preferred a full-time return to school and 14 members preferred the hybrid plan with not all members of the task force voting. On July 14, the school board was scheduled to receive a presentation further summarizing the work of the task force. There is an additional meeting scheduled on July 28. PCPS must present an Instructional Plan and Health Plan to VDOE 15 days prior to school opening. PCPS’s first day of school, regardless of model, remains Aug. 24. The school division encouraged families to review the materials on the website, attend the virtual school board meeting on July 14, and participate in forthcoming surveys about options for their child’s return to learning.

The school district is sending out a survey to get specific information from families about preferred options and initial intentions to start the school year. Data from that survey will be shared with the school board in anticipation of a decision being made by July 28. On the PCPS website under the Return to Learning 2020-2021 Task Force banner, families can find minutes from the subcommittee meetings held during the week of June 29, as well as a presentation and discussion items from the full task force meeting on July 8. The school division also provided a brief update on its plan for the Return to Learning and the three potential instructional models that have been developed. Full-time virtual learning – This option would allow for instruction off-site and would be available for all students who may need or want this as an option to start the 2020-2021 school year, or if community health conditions change. The PCPS instructional team has been working with teachers to revise and enhance this model based on feedback from stakeholders and best practices for distance learning. Most importantly, the model will include additional direct instruction utilizing video conferencing, technical support, and on-site meetings with students as needed. Hybrid Model – This model would involve a combination of instructional approaches based on student need and current guidelines. It was reviewed and unanimously supported by the task force. This will be an option to start the 2020-2021 school year or be utilized if health conditions require. The division will determine what group students are assigned to prior to the start of year in the event that it employs this model so that families can appropriately plan.

All students in grades preK through third-grade students would attend school daily. Students in grades four to 12 attend a minimum of two days per week for on-site instruction with a maximum of three days of independent athome application. Students in group A attend Monday/Tuesday and students in group B attend Thursday/Friday. Wednesday will be a student support day. Face-to-face hands-on instruction will be available and designed for specific course requirements, such as labs, CTE, etc. Coaching and hands-on instruction may be supported by instructional assistants and other instructional support staff. Other student groups may attend additional days (up to daily) as determined by student need including, but not limited to, community-based instruction, English language learners, and students with disabilities. Full-time return to school – This would allow all students to attend school on-site. This model focused on instruction, technology, assessment, equity, special populations, facilities, transportation, staff, training, health services, and mental health and wellness. This model was further supported by the new guidelines from the VDOE / VDH released on July 6 stating “if six feet of distance is not feasible (inclusive of buildings and school buses), schools should implement a combination of face coverings and a minimum of three feet distance between everyone present.” This updated guidance provides school divisions more flexibility to add substantial face-to-face instruction by citing the WHO and American Academy of Pediatricians guidance that 3 feet of social distance between students is acceptable if face coverings are worn.

The Powhatan Freedom Festival was held July 4 at the Powhatan County Fairgrounds. Even after the festival reached its maximum allowed attendance of 1,000 people, people sat outside the gates by their cars or watched the fireworks show from the road or nearby properties.

FREEDOM Continued from pg. 1

“I just wanted to have everything they needed, and if they didn’t have it when they entered the gate, they would have it,” she said. Once attendance reached 1,000, per the governor’s guidelines, organizers shut the gates. From then on, more people could only come in if others left, Hitt said. Heather Drake of Powhatan attended the festival with her husband, Josh, and their three children, Joey, 10, Paisley, 6, and Charlotte, 22 months. Drake said she felt having the deputies there and seeing the measures that organizers took to keep the event clean and safe gave her more peace of mind. The family sat in a group with other close family members and had a blast as they listened to music, ate food and

ice cream from the vendors, had the children’s faces painted, watched a movie, and caught up on each other’s lives. With the way the world is right now, it was so nice to not have to think about COVID-19, politics, or anything else, Drake added. “Friends and families were able to come together for a night of fun, laughing, music, and great fireworks,” she said. “They did an incredible job, especially since they had so many protocols they had to follow to even be able to do the fireworks! We look forward to coming back next year for the second annual Freedom Festival.” Amanda Kozak of Powhatan felt the same, saying the Powhatan Freedom Festival “definitely echoed the patriotism of the Powhatan community.” Kozak attended the event with her husband, Ed, two young sons, and her parents. The adults en-

joyed listening to music and sipping on drinks from Three Crosses Distilling Co. while the little boys loved their red, white and blue popsicles from the ice cream truck, talking to the police officers, watching the firetruck, and the fireworks. Kozak said she even enjoyed talking to political candidates on both sides of the political spectrum who attended “because that is what American freedom is about.” “After a challenging few months, it showed our resilience and strength by coming together to celebrate America's birthday. We enjoyed the fireworks and will look forward to this event every year,” she said. Andrea Ramsey of Midlothian attended the festival with her husband and two daughters and hung out at the event with her neighbors, another family of four, after eating dinner together

at Mabel’s. Ramsey said she loved the open space that was available and how they could pick a spot in the shade to listen to music with few people nearby. “I appreciated that they kept the event to 1,000 people; I wouldn’t have thought there was that many people there. My husband had taken the kids for ice cream and came back to our area saying it was very crowded but not in a bad way,” she said. Ramsey added that “the fireworks were fantastic; the sky allowed for a perfect show and the full moon rising was beautiful also!” Getting ready for the community celebration was a huge undertaking for the Hitts, who also organized a free dental care clinic for children a week earlier at the fairgrounds. Both events were sponsored by the Powhatan Dental Outreach Foundation for Children, of which Melinda is

the president and Corey is the vice president. The foundation sponsors free dental clinics for children in the United States and in Honduras and has served thousands of children, she said. While admission is free, visitors had the option of making a donation to the foundation to be used for future dental clinics. They raised $655 for the foundation, and donations may still be made at www.powhatan.foundation. The festival was both a drain on the Hitt’s time and involved a big financial investment for them personally because they only had two sponsors, DRP Collision and Sycamore Insurance Group, Melinda said. But she said it was enough that they wanted to see fireworks and to do something good for the community – so much so that she is already thinking ahead to holding Powhatan Freedom Festival 2021.

people every week and they were really excited about us being there.” Bienvenue was ultimately settled on as the site of the 2020 farmers market because it had plenty of room for vendors and parking, trees for shade, electricity for those who needed it, and was visible from the road. The venue was also important to Dearden and Kim Fralin, the market manager, because the beautiful backdrop of the property creates a “a sense of place” that fits with the rural market they are trying to build. “It is really a beautiful site and in the two weeks from opening day, we doubled our traffic. It was really exciting and all of the customers and all of the vendors had nothing but great things to say about the variety of vendors, the types of products, how beautiful it is, and how cool it was … under those trees,” Dearden said. The market features a variety of local producers selling vege-

tables, value-added products like syrup and jams, homemade items like breads and desserts, honey, shaved ice, and jewelry, Dearden said. More vendors are being added and community organizations will beging attending as COVID-19 restrictions allow. The market is currently looking for a vendor selling meat. People interested in becoming a vendor can contact 804314-9141 or manager@ rvagriculture.org. The market is also

looking for businesses and organizations interested in being sponsors. The market also has a food truck each week so people can enjoy dinner outside while listening to live music that will be playing. “It definitely brings a community meeting place. It supports local farms, local artisans, and producers. It helps to support and strengthen a local economy. … It is keeping land in open space and providing an

income or a second income to some of these producers,” Dearden said. For more information about the Powhatan Village Farmers Market, visit https://rvagriculture.org/. The market has an online order option where fulfilled orders can be picked up at the Powhatan market using a drivethrough option. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

A Powhatan man indicted in June in an incident where he allegedly fired more than 300 rounds of ammunition indiscriminately around his home has been found incompetent to stand trial. Joshua Sprouse, 25, of Powhatan, was indicted on June 3 by a multijurisdictional grand jury. He faced felony charges of assault and attempted malicious wounding of a Powhatan County deputy. He was also indicted on individual counts of reckless handling of a firearm for five different guns and two counts of pointing or brandishing a firearm, all misdemeanors. An order signed on June 28 by Judge Paul Cella found Sprouse incompetent to stand trial and ordered into treatment based on the results of a psychological evaluation.

Creating a vision for future is a group project By Laura McFarland Editor

y belief in the need to protect Powhatan’s open spaces has never been lip service, but I also feel more connected to it than I have before. I recently moved from an apartment in Midlothian, where I had no outdoor space at all, to a rented place here on a little bit of land in Powhatan County. The transition has been illuminating. I should put a disclaimer at the beginning of this column, which is not about bashing suburban/city living. When I hear people talking about coming to Powhatan in more recent years, the phrase “to get away from Chesterfield” or similar communities is not uncommon. Meanwhile, I had a great six years in my previous home and enjoyed some fabulous amenities that made my life much easier – 98 percent reliable broadband, close proximity to restaurants and entertainment, and no yard work at all, to name a few. Having grown up in Texas in both rural and suburban settings and lived in both cities and suburbs in other places throughout my life, I look on my time in Midlothian while commuting for work to Powhatan as another season in my life and not one I regret at all. That said, I have thoroughly enjoyed the more rural life I have experienced since moving to Powhatan in May. I love sitting on my back deck and listening to the deer clomp through the woods nearby (they are

way noisier than I ever imagined) or speaking on the phone with my sister as I walk around my neighborhood and having her remark on how clearly she can hear the birds singing. While I am not an astronomer, I have always loved being in places with wide open skies where you can just look up in wonder at God’s creation unencumbered by glaring lights or tall buildings. It may sound a little fantastical, but it is so peaceful to gaze up at the night sky on a clear summer evening when the fireflies are flying around above you and making you feel like the stars are floating down to earth for a visit. That sounds a little silly when I say it out loud, so it is not usually something I would bring up in conversation. The only reason I was thinking about it today was that I was reading back over the draft Vision and Mission statements that came out of recent strategic planning workshops held by the board of supervisors. These statements are not official and have not been voted on by the board. They are drafts that the board and staff members will soon be asking the public to become involved in vetting. The Powhatan Today will share more information about those public opportunities as the information becomes available. When he led the supervisors through the exercises to start creating vision and mission statements back in March, Ken Peterson, president of Good Government Ventures LLC, told the Powhatan supervisors to consider that a county’s broader strategic plan starts with an overarching vision statement for the future, but the county’s mission statement is really what is the role of

Richmond’s Arena was once the place to be By Jim Ridolphi

Contributing Columnist

As we rode down Arthur Ashe Boulevard, it was hard not to notice the obvious contrast presented by this year’s Fourth of July opposed to others. The usually busy avenue was nearly deserted, and the normal hustle and bustle surrounding the Diamond was hauntingly missing. As crews prepared to present a remote fashion of what has become a Richmond tradition, Fourth of July fireworks at the Diamond, the ticket booths were deserted and the large parking lot adjacent sat empty. As we rode past and headed home, my eye wandered to a space behind the Diamond that now houses the Sports Backer Stadium, a modern facility that sponsors a number of high school and college events. I thought of an image of that same area from a time many decades ago, before the constant hum of the interstate traffic or intermittent bus arrivals made their mark on the area. Before there was a Robbins Center, Richmond Coliseum or Ashe Center, there was a monstrosity of a building called the Richmond Arena. For many Richmonders, that facility holds fond memories of their first basketball game, concert or that first time on a pair of roller skates. The building wasn’t fancy, a sort of half-barrel inverted design that resembled an aircraft hangar. Now, my memories of that area are faded, but names like Moore’s Speedway and the Richmond Stockyards remain in my earliest recollections of the city. It was a time in Richmond when high school football was played at both City Stadium and Parker Field, and high school basketball was played at The Arena. For many years, the unheated and non-climate controlled Arena served as

the home of University of Richmond basketball games. It was the venue for any big indoor sporting event, including boxing and wrestling matches. Built in 1904, Richmond’s arena was designed as an exhibition hall for the Virginia State Fair, which held its annual gathering on those grounds until World War II. The Army used the facility for vehicle storage during the war and the city obtained the property when the conflict ended. At the time, there wasn’t a venue in the city that could seat more than 2,000 spectators, so University of Richmond began calling it home for its basketball games. And most won’t remember the aging ghost of a building that hosted the Virginia Squires, the Commonwealth’s entry into the new American Basketball Association in its first year of existence. And who knows how many saw Meadowlark Lemon mystify fans as the Harlem Globetrotters drew the largest crowd ever to see an event at The Arena. And for many, like me, The Arena holds a special place in our hearts as we remember our nights at the Roller Rink and those dirty wooden floors that were sure harder than they looked. I have a distinct memory of being stuck on the end of one of those large revolving lines of skaters where the person on the end reached sound barrier speeds before having the wisdom to let go and fall. I’m still looking for the kid that ran over my fingers while I was down. The years of wear and tear finally took its toll on the old facility and it closed in 1986, sitting empty for over a decade before finally being demolished. The crowds found other venues like the Coliseum to enjoy basketball or concerts, and roller skating moved to smaller facilities or disappeared. But, for many of us, memories made of times spent at the Richmond Arena stand the test of time. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax:804-344-8746

the local government. With that in mind, the current draft of the vision statement reads: “We are a vibrant Community that loves its relaxed rural lifestyle and is proud of its excellent Public Services. We are located at the edge of the metropolitan area with urban amenities close at hand. We are a place where Business can prosper and the Stars are visible at night.” The current draft of the mission statement reads: “To provide excellent public services in an efficient, effective and accountable manner, and to defend the rights and freedoms of our citizens.” Both from my remembrance of those spring workshops and a brief mention of the vision statement at the June 29 board meeting, the language in the “rural lifestyle” and “Stars are visible at night” were the phrases that stood out most to me. For our readers, the same may be true, or something else might stand out as more important to you. Or maybe there is some aspect of Powhatan County living you would like to see incorporated in these statements that is not near there. Whichever it is, I hope that when the county starts asking the public for more input on these statements – which are really about laying the blueprints for how you want to see Powhatan develop (or not develop) in the coming decades – that residents will speak up. Powhatan is your home, and that means you have as much right as anybody to help shape its future. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

at times as guidelines from the state continued to change in the weeks leading up to it, Worrell said. The school district went from expecting online classes as the only prospect to having in-person instruction as a possibility, but with plenty of caveats. From class size to cleaning, course selection to bus rides, student-teacher interactions to meal times – every aspect of in-person instruction over the summer had to be considered carefully to make returning to learning in school buildings possible, she said. “This year was really strictly the academic piece. Other years we have had STEM components. We have offered different summer camps that aren’t attached to the academic program. But things like cooking, Harry Potter – things that are just fun like sports camps – we don’t have any of that going on. We are really just focusing on the reading and math,” Worrell said. Having all of the students at the same school made sense for planning purposes as well as to make it easier for transportation and to clean regularly, 4265 Worsham RD

Worrell said. While the buses the school division is sending out to key areas of the county are set up with staggered seating to keep children spaced properly, it hasn’t been much of an issue yet because most parents are dropping off their youths. In addition to Powhatan Elementary being cleaned at the end of every school day, cleaning is going on throughout the day, such as bathrooms, general surfaces, and doorknobs. At one point the school considered making the halls one way, but they are wide enough for students to pass on the right and maintain 6 feet of distance. The nine middle schoolers are split between two teachers, Phaup said. The students are working on specific standards that they had difficulty with during the school year. Then they are able to practice it on the two days of the distance learning. Some students attend inperson instruction four days a week because they had to recover math and English. For in-person instruction, the plan of not having more than 10 students per class to help space them out is actually a standard goal for the division for summer school, Worrell said.

er classes allows for students to receive more one-on-one attention. It also makes it somewhat easier to adhere to the other restrictions they have to follow to successfully keep children social distancing, Worrell said. Students receive free breakfast and lunch from the school, but they have to eat at their desks. Any materials they use – such as pencils, crayons, scissors, Chromebooks – are not shared between students. “I think it is difficult for the little kids because we spend all of our times telling them to share and now we are telling them not to share. They are handling it as well as you can expect from the little guys. It is just the new norm for them,” she said. When a teacher needs to work individually with students, they wear masks regardless of the students’ ages. If they go outside or take a break, they are mostly limited to solitary forms of exercise such as walking around a track or dancing. But despite the restrictions, students, especially the younger ones, seem generally happy and excited to be back in school, Worrell said. “I think little kids crave that sched14931 Eastborne Way

Faster than last year’s state champions Greenhow notches 10.49 in 100, 21.31 in 200 Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - The heat encompassing Powhatan High School’s track during those two midday hours could be described as blistering. The same could be said of Anthony Greenhow’s times. After the rising senior at Powhatan tore across the front straightaway on two separate runs, the electronic scoreboard, courtesy of Mantronix Sports’ Bernard Canady Jr., ﬂashed two numbers to remember. The ﬁrst was a 10.49. The second was a 21.31. Running on the track alone with no surrounding runners to push him, Greenhow had notched those results in the 100-meter dash and 200 dash, respectively.

Both dashes were huge personal records in both races. “It was just a relief seeing that 10.49 on the board after the 100 because ... that’s what we were striving for,” Greenhow said. Both his times would have also been enough to win the Virginia High School League state championships across all six divisions last June. The fastest 100 state-title winning time in 2019 was recorded by Surry County’s Kahorie Batten (10.52) in Class 1. Bethel’s Edward Richardson III (21.32) in Class 5 was last year’s fastest state champion in the 200. Greenhow’s latest run in the 100 easily eclipsed his Powhatan High School-record time of 10.76, which still stands due to it being recorded at an official meet. His incendiary pace in the 200 saw both of his No. 4 labels he had just attached to his uniform fly off mid-sprint. see Greenhow, pg. 3B

Post 201’s Stone Talley, a rising senior at Powhatan High School, pitches in a home game versus Post 361 on Thursday.

Powhatan players Stone Talley and Josh Boelt were able to get back onto the baseball field in recent showcases – and thus get back into a baseball rhythm. That much could be seen in their first game back with Post 201 baseball. In a wild four-hour battle with visiting Post 361 on Thursday night, Boelt made a spectacular play when he ran down a flyball behind the third base line in foul territory and hit the ground in a tumble – with the ball clutched in his glove. His teammate Talley was making clutch plays all over the

It was Nigel Williams’ first time playing tackle football. He and his teammates were at a jamboree, where all the teams in the district would get together and scrimmage one another. That’s where he made his first tackle in a real-life situation. “I tackled this kid and my lip started bleeding right when I tackled him – I don’t think I had my mouthpiece in – and it was a pretty good tackle,” he said. “I just remember that rush and everything - just how cool I thought it was even though I messed up my lip. “That’s kind of when I fell in love with it.” see Williams, pg. 3B

place. Adjusting his play on the mound, the rising Powhatan High School senior shut the door on Post 361’s high-powered offense through the ninth inning. He also avoided two pick-off attempts and moved into scoring position both times. And then, when his team fell behind 13-11 in the 10th inning, Talley, facing two outs, went up to bat with the mindset of putting the ball in play to bring home his teammates. He put the ball in play. It got past the shortstop, and two runners came home, tying the game at 13-13. From there, his teammate, Goochland High School alum Cole Bashinski,

smashed the ball deep into right-center field to bring home the winning run and secure Post 201’s wild walk-off triumph, 14-13, over Post 361 in 10 innings. “When I got deep in the count, I just made sure I put a ball in play, put a good swing on it,” Bashinski said. “It feels great that this team never backs down. They have our backs, 24/7, no matter who’s pitching or hitting. Everybody’s with everybody.” Post 201’s first week of summer baseball in 2020 featured seven hours and 47 total runs in just two games. The hosting Seniors clawed their way back from an 8-1 deficit after three-and-a-half innings and out-produced Post 361 10-3 through the rest of regulation. Talley was a huge part of why. In addition to batting 2-for4 with two RBI and reaching base in five of six plate appearances, the rising senior adjusted from giving up three runs on the hill in the top of the fifth inning to none through the next four frames. In the top of the ninth with two runners in scoring position, Talley sat down his last batter of the night on a called strikeout. Talley said that at the beginning, he was “trying to do too much with it,” so he worked to slow down, throw strikes and let his defense do what “it needs to do.” Both Talley and Boelt, who were on vacation, left the previous night at 2 a.m. and took a 13-hour trip to get back and play in Thursday’s game. “That’s a testament to them on how bad they wanted to play baseball,” Post 201 coach Eric Mead said. “It took a while to get down here, but I’m glad that I did,” Talley said. “Got the W.” Mead also pointed to the efforts of the middle and bottom of the lineup, which helped tighten the game to one run across the fifth and sixth innings. “They kept battling,” Mead said. “I’m very proud of them.” Post 361 had stretched its lead to 11-5, but Powhatan’s Boelt, Andrew Cheatham, Trevor Waters and Connor Woodel clocked four straight hits to drive in three runs in the fifth, and then Talley and Boelt each brought in a run in the sixth – Talley on a walk and Boelt on a sacrifice fly. That helped set up a memorable clutch hit from Post 201’s lead-off batter Alex Balisteri. Facing two outs in the bottom of the seventh, the James River High School alum and Walters State CC player rocketed the ball high, deep and over the right-field wall to tie the game at 11-11 and force extra innings. Balisteri batted 4 for 6 with three RBI, a homer and two doubles, including one for two runs. Post 361 would respond in the top of the 10th when Jesse Robinson and Zelgin Jackson each drove in a run on back-toback base hits against Bashinski on the mound. But when Bashinski came into the game as a pitcher, he also did so as a batter, setting up his walk-off base hit on the heels of Talley’s game-tying play. Post 201 scored 13 of their 14 runs while facing two outs.

Summer baseball under way in Powhatan By Nick Vandeloecht

2020 Post 201 Seniors roster

Sports Editor POWHATAN - Brandon Eike hadn’t played a non-scrimmage game since last October. To keep his swing sharp, the future North Carolina Tar Heel and 2020 Powhatan High School graduate had been lifting pretty much every day and going out to the field to get in batting reps on a daily basis. His efforts more than showed on Tuesday. Seeing a fastball with two runners on base and two outs in the books, Eike smashed the pitch into a towering trajectory across left-center field and on past the fence. His tie-breaking three-run homer lifted his team, sponsored by Powhatanbased American Legion Post 201, into a 9-6 lead. But the visitors from Post 125, aided by errors from the home team, surged across the next two innings to tie it back up, and then Scott McDonough launched a go-ahead solo homer in the top of the seventh. Post 125 held the lead from there, defeating Post 201, 11-9. But no matter the score, for both teams, playing the game itself was a triumph. “It’s nice to be out on the baseball field,” said Post 201 head coach Eric Mead. “Even the joy of working on the baseball field, getting it ready and the whole nine yards, it’s just nice to finally be back out.” Tuesday’s game was the first of any kind for many of the players since the COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of Virginia’s spring sports seasons. For Midlothian’s Christian Chambers, getting to play on the baseball field again was a blast. “It kind of made you want to play baseball even more, just taking a break from it, see how much you missed the game,” said Chambers, who after this summer will attend and play baseball for JMU. “It’s awesome to be out there again.” When Post 201’s Alex Kyte threw the first pitch of the game, his teammates in the dugout clapped. Cheering could be heard. “It’s great – we’re out here with the boys, having a good time, having fun,” said Eike, who led the team with four RBI on Tuesday. “Just glad to be back.” “It makes you realize how much you

miss the little things, like just talking to everybody in the dugout,” said Balisteri, who had two extra-base hits, including a double and a three-run triple, and scored two runs. The homer hammered by Eike in the bottom of the fourth inning capped a sixrun rally that saw the Post 201 Seniors climb out of a 6-3 hole. They scored all six runs while facing two outs. Before Eike, Balisteri slammed a game-tying bases-clearing rocket to the center field fence, then kicked up clouds of dirt on the slide across third base as he beat the attempted throwout to extend his explosive at-bat into a triple. But in addition to stringing together five unanswered runs, Post 125’s defense delivered two 6-4-3 double plays in the final two innings, including one to end the game. The visitors also moved several runners and scored a majority of their runs off of defensive errors, wild pitches, hits by pitches and walks. After the game, Mead emphasized the importance of throwing strikes to his players. But he added: “We knew that this first week was going to be rough – it was going to be rough for everybody.” On top of dealing with the summer heat and humidity, pitchers and hitters are coming in after having not been on their regular routines. “If you think about the hitters, at this time of the year, in a regular year, those guys would’ve had hundreds of at-bats,” Mead said, “and they’ve had no at-bats since March, so the pitchers are going to struggle, and then when the pitchers can throw strikes, then the batters are going to struggle with the strikes.” But he doesn’t think the turnaround’s going to take long. “There’s a lot of talent in American Legion this year across the board,” he said. And with four hits in the opening inning alone, Post 201’s offense quickly showed heavy promise for the games to come. “I think our batting order’s really go-

ing to look good, especially as we get through a couple games,” Mead said. Powhatan Class of 2020 grads Eike and Caleb Kersey are playing alongside fellow senior D.J. Herring and several other former high school teammates, including catcher Trevor Waters, on this year’s Post 201 team. They also have a few more players coming who weren’t available on Tuesday: James Nelson, a Trinity Episcopal graduate who is going to Longwood; Colby Cheatham, who attends Mary Baldwin; and Powhatan students Josh Boelt and Stone Talley. “There’s a lot of talent out on this baseball field,” Mead said. Waters sat down one runner trying to steal second on a throw he rifled from behind the plate in the second inning. And in addition to his homer, Eike hit a zipping grounder in the opening frame; it was a likely hit that was saved by a digging effort from Post 125 shortstop Ashwin Suresh for the out, but Eike’s at-bat still plated Balisteri for Post 201’s first run of the game. Rising Powhatan junior Andrew Cheatham endured a scare in the top of the seventh when a baserunner, sprinting to first, slammed into him while he was trying to run down a popup in foul territory, sending him into a tumble. Cheatham batted on the very next play, and he would’ve hit a single into right field, but in a rare sight, the second baseman, on the ground, flipped the ball from shallow right field to first base for the out. Mead said it was “just phenomenal” for Cheatham “to be able to get up to the plate after taking a hit like that and drive the ball like he did.” Cheatham and Cameron Shields each had an RBI single in the opening inning. Shields in the fourth added a double to center field on the heels of Eike’s homer. Chambers joined Balisteri in scoring two runs. “I think, as we get into the following week, I think you’re really going to see some really good baseball all the way across the board,” Mead said.

WILLIAMS Continued from pg. 1B

Football has always been a part of Williams’ life. His dad, Dexter Williams, played wide receiver for the University of Richmond, and he was always an assistant coach on Nigel’s younger teams. To Nigel, he was a huge mentor. Dexter was also the one who brought up Northwestern – the school that Nigel is now attending. Nigel, who has lived in Powhatan County since he was 4 years old, started with flag football, then played for the Powhatan Warriors in the Chesterfield Quarterback League all the way up until middle school. Academically, he attended Collegiate in Richmond since third grade, so he got to know the varsity coaching staff before joining the varsity team since a lot of the coaches also teach physical education. “In middle school, we would always be able to talk football with them, and they were great role models and great leaders for me as well.” Some of his best friends are people he’s known since he was around 8 years old. “We’ve been through a lot together, whether that be baseball or football, stuff like that,” Nigel said. “We’ve grown so close over the years. It’s definitely weird now being apart from them, but it’s great being able to stay in contact with them.” Nigel was a freshman when he started at cornerback on Collegiate’s varsity football team in 2016. That ended up being a special year. Not only did he play that entire season, but he was part of the Cougars going 8-2 and winning the 2016 VISAA state championship. “That was probably one of the most fun teams I’ve ever been a part of,” he said. “It seems like we were winning almost every Friday and it was so much fun. From the second we started summer camp, everybody knew that team was really special and we were able to carry it. “I felt like we were just so close . . . there was just no way that we weren’t going to get the state title that year.” He remembers the second game of that season when they played Northern Virginia-based Flint Hill. Collegiate was struggling a little bit, and then the Cougars’ starting quarterback got sacked, his helmet coming off, and had to go out of the game. Nigel, who was also the backup quarterback, went in for him. “All of a sudden, I’m leading a drive down the field.” His offensive coordinator left him in for that drive, and the Cougars marched down the field, mixing in the passing game. “I’m just in there, having fun, calling plays.” And then, Nigel found a hole and ran the ball across the goal line on the quarterback sneak to the left-hand side, chopping Flint Hill’s lead to one possession. The Cougars’ defense then forced a three-and-out, and Nigel’s coach put him in as the punt returner. He fielded the incoming kick, and he tore all the way to the opposing team’s 10-yard line. Collegiate scored on the next play, and Nigel and his teammates went on to beat Flint Hill 19-14. “I felt that play had a lot to do with how I felt with football going forward,” he said. “I felt like I really knew that I belonged kind of after that possession. I knew that this team was special, but I knew that I was definitely contributing, and that really helped me.” It also played a role in showcasing Nigel’s versatility. Throughout his career, he’s always played both ways, and whenever he was holding the role of returner, running back, receiver or safety, Nigel approached that role through embracing a theme that’s been taught and emphasized to him by the Collegiate coaches since middle school: selflessness. “It’s just doing whatever you can for the team,” he said, “because somebody’s always going to get hurt, and so you just need to be ready when your number’s called.” He also held the role of starting quarterback his junior and senior seasons. “I was a captain my junior and senior year, but when you’re quarterback, you really feel like you have the reins to the team and … the game is going to be decided on your decisions in the game.” Williams also shined as a strong baseball player growing up, and from the diamond, he learned mental toughness.

“When things were going bad for the team in football, I could use that experience from baseball to try and correct the ship.” From the second he picked up a football, Nigel’s parents’ message to him was: This could be your ticket to going to a great academic school, and to leaving your mark on whatever it is you try to do. “Hearing that over and over again ... ultimately that just became a goal of mine, that I was going to accomplish it.” He’s now playing for Pat Fitzgerald at Northwestern, which is about a 14-to21-mile drive from the heart of Chicago. He praised the Wildcats’ resiliency. “They had a tough season last year, but that’s not who they are at all,” Nigel said. “They’re led by I think one of the greatest coaches in America and ... if you look at a practice, you look at a workout, the energy that’s coming from their weight room and everything – they’re going to be a team who, yearin and year-out, I believe, is going to be competing in the Big Ten Championship with an opportunity to play in a Rose Bowl.” When Nigel went to a practice and also to a game, he saw how the team’s energy and passion “just never wavered at all” despite last year’s struggles. “That was one thing that my parents noticed, it’s something that I’ve noticed and that’s why it made it easy for me to be able to look past last year and realize that that was going to be an extremely temporary thing and that they were going to get back to a Big Ten Championship pretty soon,” he said. “I definitely want to be a part of that.” Nigel described Evanston, Illinois – the suburb where Northwestern is located – as a “great college town.” “I think it’s kind of underrated right now, but if you go to the strip, they have a bunch of restaurants, a bunch of Northwestern stores,” he said. “If you walk around, if you have a Northwestern football polo or just T-shirt on, people will stop and talk to you and everything like that. It’s a pretty big college town, and it’s been great so far just getting to know the guys.” Northwestern’s practice facility also has a scenic location on Lake Michigan, from which you can see Chicago’s skyline. “It’s unbelievable,” Nigel said. “It’s the nicest campus I’ve been to.” Academically, Nigel is looking to major in communications. If football in the long run doesn’t end up working out, he would have that communications major to fall back on, and he talked about trying to do something in the sports analysis realm in that scenario. Nigel, who is 6-foot-1 and weighs 185 pounds, is taking his approach of doing whatever he can do for the team from Collegiate to the collegiate field, where he’ll play in a to-be-determined defensive back position. “If he wants to put me at corner, I’m going to do everything I can there; whether it’s punt return, kick return, taking a couple snaps at like a wildcat quarterback (position) in the future or something like that – I’m just really looking forward to doing whatever I can to help the team win.” He’ll look to continue relying on his football instincts, his experience with playing a multitude of positions and his athleticism. He ran a top time of 4.52 in the 40-yard dash at a Notre Dame camp to go along with his 4.00 shuttle run and a 37-inch vertical. He also has his knowledge from all of the football he’s watched over the years. “I feel like that helps me a lot, just being able to make plays, and kind of seeing how things could unfold before the play starts.” His huge goal is to just be on the field, and for Nigel, that doesn’t necessarily mean in a starting role. “I just want to contribute,” he said, “and when I do contribute, contribute at a high level.” His message to high school athletes who are going through, or will go through the recruiting process, is to be patient. He pointed to his own process: up until around March or April of his junior year, he didn’t have any offers. He then picked up 10 within a span of around two weeks. “Recruiting . . . it’s not an exact science and never will be, so just: kids who start to get frustrated, just be patient,” he said, “and make sure that you’re your biggest advocate for yourself, because if you’re not advocating for yourself, then you can’t really expect anyone else to, so just make sure you’re getting in front of whoever you can.”

Powhatan High School’s Anthony Greenhow on Wednesday ran a 21.31 in the boys 200-meter dash, faster than his school-record time of 21.99

GREENHOW Continued from pg. 1B

Not only did he clock in under his school-record time (21.99), but he was also .01 of a second away from matching the Class 4 state meet record (21.30) set by Bassett alum Josh Pearson in 2014. Striving to put up the fastest times he can, Greenhow has been at the track daily and in the weight room every other day. Coming oﬀ an indoor season that saw him take second in the 300 dash and earn AllMetro honors in both the 300 and 55, Greenhow was looking forward to improving upon his third- and fourth-place runs in last year’s outdoor state meet’s 100 and 200, respectively, as well as to striving for the school record in the 400. But the COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of all VHSL spring sports seasons. And then he had still planned to run summer meets and was looking to compete at Nationals, but those events got cancelled because of the pandemic as well. But Canady, who is a longtime friend of Greenhow’s dad, came up to the high school

track to time him electronically so that Greenhow could see where he’s at currently. And after setting those new personal records, Greenhow’s performance further cemented his front runner status in those two races going into next year’s outdoor state championships.

He was also able to realize one of his goals he had set for himself after making All-Metro in indoor: run faster than a 10.6 in the 100 in outdoor. “It shows that hard work pays oﬀ,” Greenhow said, “and just don’t let up on anybody – just keep pushing and keep doing what I’m doing.”
