Blandford grateful for Christmas Mother role By Laura McFarland Editor

he Queen is ready to relinquish her thrown, but she said her yearlong reign as the Powhatan Christmas Mother has truly been a royal experience. At about this time last year, Betsy Blandford, nicknamed the Queen when she was a Powhatan teacher, was shining her new crown and getting ready to step into her role as the 2019 Christmas Mother. She was both honored and excited to be asked and was looking forward to a fun year ahead. She had no idea what experience truly lay ahead for her. “I was pretty sure it was going to be work. As I finish this up, I am completely humbled and blown away by how im-

pactful the experience has been. I am so thankful that this group thought to ask me. And would I say yes again? A million times yes. I am so glad I said yes,” said Blandford. Members of the Powhatan Christmas Everyday Committee are just as pleased that Blandford said yes to this great responsibility, commending her as an excellent addition to the Powhatan Christmas Mother tradition. Mary Midget Harrison, Christmas Mother 2006, said members were elated when they heard that Blandford would be the Christmas Mother and are even more elated now that she was the Christmas Mother and did such an amazing job. Having been friends since the 1980s, Harrison said she has

long known Blandford to be pleasant, positive, and prone to see the good in everyone. She put all of those good traits and more to work with the committee, being both respectful and engaged with longtime members and extremely welcoming

to new members. “She is the same everywhere you meet her. She is always the jolliest person in the room. Like Santa, she is jolly,” Harrison said. Pat Lyons, Christmas Mother 2018, served as Blandford’s secretary, which is a role outgoing Christmas Mothers are asked to fill in their two-year commitment to the program. She said Blandford was outgoing, bubbly, and wonderful to work with for the last year. “Queen Betsy” exuded confidence and poise from her first meeting, said Pinckey Sowers, Christmas Mother 2013. “Her leadership skills were excellent but she was always willing to listen to others and was open to new ideas. She executed her duties with class and a large dose of dry humor, a real joy to work with,” Sowers said.

A year in the life With the mantle about to be passed to a new Christmas Mother, which will be announced next week, Blandford agreed to talk about the past year, how much it has meant to her, and finishing out her year in the position amidst a worldwide pandemic. Early fall 2019 was a time of great excitement for Blandford. People found out she was the Christmas Mother and the “response to that announcement with family and friends was a riot. People were so excited for me.” “The period after that was primarily setting up fundraising events and sending out the letters we send out to people asking for donations.

Editor

POWHATAN – The life of a 5-year-old North Carolina boy whose time was cut short too soon was recently honored with a candlelight vigil held at the Powhatan County Courthouse. A large gathering of people attended the vigil on Aug. 16 to remember Cannon Hinnant, who was killed by a gunshot wound to the head about a week earlier, and support his great-aunt, Powhatan resident Diann Frank. Cannon died on Aug. 9 in Wilson, North Carolina, when a neighbor allegedly shot the little boy, who was riding his bicycle in the driveway, according to the Wilson Times newspaper.

O B I T UA R I E S AMANDA JONES Mrs. Amanda T. Jones, 79, of Powhatan, died peacefully at her home on Sunday, August 16, 2020, surrounded by her family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Alice H. and Fred H. Tanner; and brother, Dr. Terrell B. Tanner. Survivors include her husband of 58 years, W. Hardman Jones Jr.; daughter, Laura Jones (Jeff Burke) of Madison, Wis.; son, Will Jones (Christin) of Midlothian; grandsons, Tanner Jones of Arlington and Graham Jones of Midlothian; sister, Nancy Stewart (Carter) of Baldwin, Ga.; and countless other relatives and friends. Born in Concord, N.C., Amanda grew up on Cherry Street in Commerce, Ga., where she and her future husband

met as kindergarteners. After dating as classmates at Commerce High School and the University of Georgia, the couple married in June 1962 and began a lifetime of adventures. Hardman’s service in the U.S. Navy allowed them to explore both coasts, including St. Simons Island, Ga., which beJONES came their vacation destination for nearly 50 years. Amanda and Hardman settled in Richmond before retiring in Powhatan, where they became faithful members of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. Amanda worked as a teach-

er and in retail, and volunteered for her church and Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Blessed with bright blue eyes, an endearing laugh and a radiant smile, she aged but never grew old. She had a generous spirit that lifted those close to her, and her loving care filled her gardens with color. She delighted in her family, music, books and well-prepared meals, and she savored her role as her grandsons’ Nana. Her final wish was peace for herself and those dear to her. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 2245 Huguenot Trail, Powhatan, Va. 23139 or Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, 1800 Lakeside Ave., Richmond, Va. 23228. The family will hold a private memorial service.

PLANNING Continued from pg. 1

Comprehensive plan At the start of this discussion, Andrew Pompei, planning director, pointed out that some supervisors have expressed a desire to revise the 2019 LongRange Comprehensive Plan, which is the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term visionary document, and associated zoning and subdivision ordinances. Pompei asked members to what degree the board is planning to revise the document to gauge the scale and complexity of the updating they may be wanting and what level of resources they want to dedicate to the effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems that most of the concerns regarding the

comprehensive plan focus on two components of the plan itself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the countywide Future Land Use Map, especially the growth areas located along Route 60, and the Major Thoroughfare Plan, which outlines how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like our transportation network to evolve over the coming years,â&#x20AC;? Pompei noted. In the 2019 discussions, the bulk of the comprehensive plan was easily agreed upon by the board, so most disagreements focused on a few key sections, especially the Future Land Use Map. The then-board of supervisors voted on June 24, 2019, to adopt the comprehensive plan after almost three years of work and review. In the 3-1 vote, David Williams,

who represents District 1 and was the only current board member at that meeting, was the sole vote against it. Larry Nordvig, District 2, was absent at that meeting. Once the comprehensive plan is updated to the current boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction, development-related ordinances, the zoning ordinance and subdivision ordinance, could be amended to implement recommendations made in the updated plan. Pompei asked the board to consider that, depending upon the level of revision, updating the comprehensive plan and rewriting developmentrelated ordinances may require a significant amount of staff time, which will be in addition to daily administrative

tasks. Due to a position currently frozen in the department, if updates to the comprehensive plan and development-related ordinances are prioritized, other short- and longrange projects/initiatives will need to be delayed and/or reduced in scope. Minor adjustments to the map could likely take six months or less, but if the board wants more detailed changes to or a complete rewrite of the comprehensive plan, the process could take a year or more, Pompei said, adding that it took three years the last time it was completely updated. Additionally, if the board wishes to incorporate a Major Thoroughfare Plan, there are no onstaff transportation engineers or other employees that have the expertise needed to collect and analyze traffic-related data at that level. A consulting firm will need to be hired to help update the Major Thoroughfare Plan and develop recommended transportation projects. Karin Carmack, District 5, said she thinks the board, planning commission, and staff can work on changes to the Future Land Use Map and an initial Major Thoroughfare Plan in-house. The thoroughfare plan would eventually need help from a consulting firm. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the need to do a total overhaul of the comprehensive plan. Bill Cox, District 4, pointed to issues such as the terminology used in the comprehensive plan and associated ordinances. He talked about the growth areas in the comprehensive plan currently, and said if the county were to maximize them, it would double the number of houses and more than

double the number of students in Powhatan. The board needs to take a hard look at the growth areas again and decide whether it is serious about commercial growth, Cox said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion, we have to fundamentally start looking at what we are trying to achieve and then building around it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cox said he believes it is going to take a fair amount of work to get the plan where they want it, but said he is worried about the land use map and thoroughfare plan, not the rest of the document. He also foresees a substantial rewrite of the ordinances. Williams said he thinks the board should start having one to two workshops a month about the comprehensive plan, and he wants the planning commission involved as well. Based on board feedback, Pompei outlined that staff will focus on the Future Land Use Map first, particularly Route 60 east and the Village areas. Then they will begin on the Major Thoroughfare Plan, but transportation will be a consideration throughout the process.

Strategic Plan Back in February, about a month before the effects of the pandemic really started to be felt in Powhatan, the supervisors were meeting with Ken Peterson, president of Good Government Ventures LLC, for special strategic planning workshops. The goal of the workshops was to develop a shared vision, mission statement and strategic plan moving toward the next 10 to 20 years. The pandemic caused

a delay in the meetings, but the board was finally able to hold a final workshop on June 24 to work out more details of the document. The current draft of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision statement is: 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 iteration of the mission statement is: To provide excellent public services in an efficient, effective and accountable manner, and to defend the rights and freedoms of our citizens. As the board discussed last week, the workshops resulted in a draft plan that the supervisors intend to share with other parts of local government, such as the schools and sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, to get their input. Cox pointed out there was still some significant data missing from the draft that needs to be supplied by staff members. Much of this data has to do with success indicators that help define how the planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic goals will be measured. The board asked to fill in the data to flesh out the strategic goals and bring it back for their review in September. During the workshop, the board could adopt the strategic plan draft that will be shared with the public. They will also announce the dates of open houses where the public can have input on the plans.

for her family, so she decided to hold the vigil. “I felt like somebody needed to honor him, so I did,” she said. Although she hoped people would come to help honor the little boy, Frank said she didn’t really know what to expect. She was incredibly touched to see the large crowd, which included both friends and strangers. “It was just a wonderful feeling to see all the people there to support me for my great-nephew. Even if nobody showed up I would have been there by myself holding a candle for him. But I am glad all the people were there to support him because he mattered, too. He was my family,” she said.

family is heartbroken and still reeling from the little boy’s senseless death. “He was an innocent 5-year-old child. His life was beginning to blossom. He was getting ready to start kindergarten. He was just starting to live and his life was cut short,” Frank said. On the recommendation of a friend, Frank asked Jerimy Ford, campus pastor for Passion Community Church, to speak during the vigil. Although he didn’t know Frank or Cannon, as a parent, Ford said he was immediately willing to help. “When I think about my kids – and obviously my kids are older – I think about all of the life and potential my kids have both experienced and showed as young adults. That was taken. That little boy didn’t get that opportunity. He didn’t get to live a life. He didn’t get to grow up to make a difference,” he said. Ford said his goal in

speaking was to create a space where people could collectively grieve what is happening in society but also to come together and have a sense of unity. “Mostly what I wanted to convey to them was that, yes, this was a senseless tragedy that I can’t understand or comprehend,” he said. “Oftentimes we look to God for a why and I have prayed and cried and searched looking for the answer to that question. And the reality is there is no answer to that question. The only answer the Bible gives us is who, and my hope is that we can all look to the who, look to God to find comfort and to collectively come together.” Frank said she didn’t have the words to describe how much Ford’s speech meant to her and how important it was that so many people honored Cannon.

Below, speakers at the dedication ceremony were Max Timberlake Jr., top left; Wade Johnson, bottom left; and Mike Byerly and Carson Tucker, right. Bottom, Byerly and Andrew Pompei unveil the bench, which sits in front of the Powhatan Administration Building.

WALKER Continued from pg. 1

ly, who led the event, talked about the amazing life his longtime friend led and the many milestones he achieved in his native community. Walker was a lifelong resident of Powhatan County, where he attended high school at Powhatan High School (Class of 1958) and was a dairy farmer, Byerly said. His only significant time away from the county was attending Virginia Tech and serving in the U.S. Army. Walker was a former teacher; served as a planning commissioner for more than 30 years; served in the American Legion for 50 years, and was a member of the Farm Bureau for 55 years, holding numerous offices. He was also a father and grandfather. During the ceremony, Byerly and three other men who knew Walker well talked about his contributions to Powhatan and the way he touched their lives personally. Byerly talked about the help and advice Walker gave him when he was setting up his business, including meeting with him on a Sunday to talk about the business plans. “He volunteered his time, he volunteered his Sunday, he volunteered time away from his family. He volunteered to speak with me to benefit Powhatan County, as far as I was concerned. That was Owen Walker, and that is the Owen Walker I know. Owen spent a lifetime helping others out,

helping out our Powhatan County – helping it grow and develop,” Byerly said. “We owe him an abundance of gratitude. The dedication of the Owen R. Walker Memorial Bench is but a small token.” Longtime friend Max Timberlake Jr. recalled deciding to stop by one day to see Walker, who had recently come home from the hospital. Walker was sitting up and cheerfully telling stories like usual – living up to his reputation as being a fount of knowledge about what was going on in Powhatan County, Timberlake said. When he prepared to leave, Walker said to him, “Make sure you look after that planning commission.” “This man dedicated his life to serving this county and that was the last thing he told me,” Timberlake said. Wade Johnson, finance and athletic director for American Legion Post 201, talked about Walker’s dedication to the post for five decades. He served in almost every capacity with the post during that time, and the loss of his leadership and passion for it has already been felt. Walker was instrumental in bringing American Legion baseball to the post and was passionate about keeping it going and supporting it through the years. He was also involved in virtually every activity the post participated in, including parades, Brunswick stew sales, annual family days, Memorial Day services,

and more, Johnson said. On a more personal note, Johnson said he would stop by for visits related to post business that essentially only took a few minutes, but he usually found himself sticking around for a long conversation. “We always, always ended up sitting at the kitchen table for an hour or two while he told stories, discussed farming, local history, and politics. I enjoyed it, and that is how I learned more about Powhatan probably than any other source,” Johnson said. Carson Tucker, a former supervisor and planning commissioner, said he found Walker to be grounded in the earth, a listener, loyal, a just man, fair, and unassuming. When talking to him, people didn’t experience “highfalutin speeches,” a raised voice, stridency, screeching, grandstanding, or insult or intent to insult. “He was a quiet authority – straight to the heart of the matter no matter what the matter was. He was a model of civility and decorum – a role model for many of us on the planning commission and on the board of supervisors,” Tucker said. He added that even in his low-key approach, Walker had his passions: the U.S. Army, the American Legion, veterans, farming, teaching, youth sports, Powhatan – its earth and its people – and his family.

Don’t allow others to manipulate with fear By Laura McFarland Editor

ear can be used as a weapon. So many times in my life I have witnessed people in positions of influence and power use fear to control others. You see it in politics way too often as people twist words and meanings to convince people to believe or act a certain way. This is extremely relevant right now. With a presidential election just over two months away, you better believe the news coverage and advertising will be getting manipulative and ugly as the campaigns try to capitalize on whatever fear, prejudice, or preconceived notions they think they can exploit to gain support. And let’s be honest enough to admit this phenomenon happens across the spectrum of politics because fear has been proven throughout history to be an effective tool. Boy, do those with agendas have plenty of issues to capitalize on right now: responses to a worldwide pandemic, record unemployment, heightened racial tensions, questions about the role of law enforcement, and new laws that some argue infringe on their constitutional rights, specifically dealing with the Second Amendment. And those are just the biggest headlines right now. I am sure there will be plenty more to choose from in the months ahead. Surprisingly enough based on the start of this column, what I am about to say is not meant to be political in nature. Politics is just a prime example of where fear

can be used to manipulate people. What I really want to talk about is the greatest enemy of fear: education. Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” I believe that is true. I am not only speaking about the education young people receive in their K-12 and college years, although those experiences are hugely important and truly can help change the world. When I talk about education in this instance, I am referring to the much broader fight against ignorance and fear all of us should engage in as we assimilate new information about people, issues, and events and form our own opinions about them. Let me give you a few good recent examples. On Aug. 9, I covered a town hall meeting focused on the issue of gun rights – specifically self-defense laws in Virginia and new laws relating to guns that went into effect in the state on July 1. Supervisor Larry Nordvig and Powhatan Citizens Alliance founder Don Silberbauer organized the event. Going into the town hall, I kind of knew what to expect having talked to the panelists from the commonwealth’s attorney’s office and the sheriff’s office on many occasions. What I couldn’t have told you definitively was what the more than 75 people who came out on a Sunday afternoon to listen to them hoped to get out of the event. I would guess that more than a few were driven by fear of the rioting going on in Richmond and other locations or fear of what Virginia’s new laws will mean for their rights as a gun owner.

First-hand knowledge: the post office delivers By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

You don’t have to search far to find a negative comment regarding the United States Postal Service, and the latest efforts to reform the agency have evoked severe criticism from both sides of the political aisle. I get it. It’s easy to complain about the Post Office and it’s often the butt of jokes comparing it to the Department of Motor Vehicles or other perceived government agencies that seem to miss the mark when it comes to efficiency. For many years of my life, I joined in the criticism and embraced a view that somehow disparaged the tens of thousands of employees who report to work at a post office each day. That all changed when I accepted a job at the Post Office as a rural carrier when I graduated from college. The job paid almost twice as much as any journalism position for which I had applied. In addition, I had this image of an easy gig in my mind, and joked with my friends that riding around delivering mail for a couple of hours a day seemed like an easy way to make a living. It didn’t take long to dispel those unsubstantiated assumptions, and I quickly learned that delivering the U.S. Mail is serious business, and most of the people who make that daily sacrifice perform that function with commitment and dedication. More than half of my co-workers were veterans, and the majority of the remaining employees were hard working average Americans who didn’t shy away from work that often seemed overwhelming. The waste and inefficiency I’d heard about all my life were hard to detect, and I often witnessed employees going above and be-

yond the call of duty to ensure every piece of mail was delivered. Through some of the hottest summers on record and winters with numerous snowfalls, we sorted, stacked and delivered mail. When schools and other businesses closed, the Post Office remained open and, often, routes that were meant to be mobile were carried on foot. So, I’ve listened with interest to recent discussions regarding the Postal Service and some politicians’ intent to dismantle and even privatize the agency. While I accept the idea that reform and redirection are necessary in any operation, I strongly reject the notion of downsizing or eliminating the Postal Service, or not providing the amount of funding it needs to survive and flourish. And surveys that quizzed citizens on that very question always illustrate an overwhelming majority of Americans support the Post Office. Many find it difficult to imagine a world without mail delivery – packages and envelopes that contain vital medicines, pension and Social Security checks or other critical correspondence. As my mailman approached my door last week as temperatures soared in the mid-90s, he looked tired and bewildered. I grabbed a cold water from the refrigerator and handed it to him and ask how things were going at the Post Office. He said the recent controversy regarding the service has severely affected morale at his branch, and many of his co-workers are worried about their job security. While talks of privatization and downsizing have occurred for decades, he said this time seems more real. I didn’t keep him long, realizing that minutes count for every mail carrier and there are few spare ones in a long day, but I thought about what he said as I sat 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax:804-344-8746

in an air conditioned room and enjoyed a cold ice tea. I thought about how many times I had heard people say, “I mailed it yesterday, but who knows when it will get to you. You know how the mail is.” The truth is most of us actually do know how the mail is, and the one word that comes to my mind is dependable. As I considered a lifetime of receiving or mailing letters, I could think of only one example of a piece going missing or being lost in delivery. As a child, I never received a birthday card with the money removed. Come to think of it, none of my children have either. I tried to think of another service that had caused me so little irritation over a lifetime, but I came up short. I also thought back to the past several months. In those first weeks of quarantine, a time when there was no traffic or activity on the streets, the only vehicle entering my complex was a postal truck. I’m not sure if politicians understand that Americans won’t allow a dismantling of the Postal Service, or its importance to our everyday lives. For most of us, it’s an agency worth saving, and funding properly. Questioning if this agency can handle millions of mail-in ballots during the election process is an inquiry valid only to those who don’t appreciate or understand what U.S. Postal workers do on a daily basis. Get ballots to them on time and have citizens return them without delay, and the Postal Service will do the rest. And to the people who still get up at the crack of dawn and stand in front of cases sorting mail long before most of us hit the snooze button, our national disdain should be replaced with a message of thanks.

Sheriff Brad Nunnally, detective Marilyn Durham, and Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney, gave presentations that obviously had some personal opinions slipped in there a few times but were overall fact-based explanations of our rights under the law. This wasn’t legal advice, as Cerullo pointed out numerous times, but rather a look at how the law works and what protections it does or does not afford us. What the listeners do with that knowledge, as with all of life, is up to them. I was similarly impressed when the Powhatan chapter of the NAACP and the Powhatan County Democratic Committee hosted a Criminal Justice Town Hall on June 18 and invited Nunnally, Cerullo, and commonwealth’s attorney Richard “Dickie” Cox to ask pressing questions people had about a wide range of topics. The three men answered questions about the demographics of Powhatan’s law enforcement offices, transparency of information available to the public, the use of excessive force, civilian review boards, cultural and diversity training, de-escalation training, defunding law enforcement, school resource officers (SROs), and mental health evaluations of law enforcement. We have citizens with some tough questions, and it is great public service when local organizations and elected officials step up and address them head-on with facts so they can dispel the rumors, lies, and social messaging “facts” that create unnecessary worry and strife.

Local company shares progress during pandemic By Laura McFarland Editor

OWHATAN – Powhatan-based business DRP Collision recently had the opportunity to demonstrate how one local business has responded to COVID-19 in a positive way. The family-owned business was visited on Aug. 11 by Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, who toured the facility and learned about how owners Kendall and Margo Ickes decided to turn a potentially disastrous situation into an opportunity. Kendall Ickes said he and his wife try to be inviting about showing off their business on a regular basis but are especially proud of how they have worked to weather the pandemic. He had previously spoken with Spanberger at a Powhatan Chamber of Commerce meeting and then at the Powhatan Freedom Festival and had invited her to see their operation, so he was pleased she took them up on their offer. “Here is the big thing I wanted to get across on her visit. I have been saying it as the past Chamber president since the beginning – we are not going to recover from this coronavirus by waiting for it to be behind us. The only way we are going to recover is if we are better than ever because we had the time to invest in getting better,” he said. DRP Collision was having a banner year in early 2020 before the pandemic devastated the United States and had just celebrated its 10th anniversary in February, Kendall Ickes said. They had two record months back to back in January and February 2020. But in March the volume dropped significantly because of the virus. “We have been running about

half on average, but when they first closed schools and everybody was in a panic, our work just disappeared. We were like 10 percent of our normal volume for a couple of weeks,” he said. “It was very scary in the beginning. We knew it wouldn’t last forever, but it was intimidating.” Like so many businesses, the business owners found themselves in a dire situation. But they hope the decisions they made in the months that followed will give them a much firmer foundation as the country begins the economic climb back. With volume down, the couple turned the focus of the shop to more training, cleaning, organizing, and strategizing, Margo Ickes said. “We did a lot more team meetings and brainstorming with folks coming together to say, once this picks back up, where do we want to see ourselves, especially in the fall when volumes increase like they statistically do? How do we want to approach this differently so it is more organized, so you guys feel less stress during times of high volume,” she said. The company engaged in business process management classes to figure out what their

processes are and how they can be improved, identifying defects and eliminating waste within the business, she said. Those improvements have always been an important focuses for the Ickeses, but it takes so much time to focus on making even small changes incrementally because of the time it takes, Kendall said. “When we were running at half volume, we were able to take the staff, instead of laying them off, and kind of re-employ them into these other roles and say ‘help us figure out how to improve,’ ” he said. They always put 1 percent of sales away in case there is an issue, so they didn’t have to lay off any employees, Kendall Ickes said. They also applied for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a program established by the CARES Act to provide small businesses with funds to pay up to eight weeks of payroll costs including benefits. Kendall Ickes said he long ago realized the potential of networking, and appreciated the opportunity to network with Spanberger to share his thoughts and concerns and those of his employees with her. “What I told my staff was it

doesn’t matter if you are a republican, democrat or independent. It doesn’t matter. She represents you and she is voting on your behalf, so having some kind of connection to even her staff, where we can reach out with a concern, it is very important for us to be able to do that,” he said. “We didn’t have that connection before, and now we do.” Spanberger said one of the favorite parts of her job is talking to people and businesses about the impact of either ongoing legislative discussions or actual pieces of proposed legislation so she can understand the direct impact at home in Virginia. DRP Collision is an interesting example of how a local small business used the PPP to keep their employees on the payroll and keep their doors open, she said. As the program is designed, for a brief period of time, the Ickes had the certainty of paying employees and keep-

ing the lights on, and they used that window to invest in the business and its future, she said. “It was very interesting to hear from Kendall how it is they used the funds. Yes they used it to pay their employees, but more than that, Kendall took it as an opportunity … and in this time of economic uncertainty, they have been able to keep their employees employed, and beyond that they have been able to innovate,” Spanberger said. Visits like this provide a reallife example for how local businesses are being impacted by COVID-19 and the measures being implemented to try to help them, she said. Not every business has been able to bounce back, and “hearing the array of experiences on the ground has been incredibly important to me as we are looking toward what is necessary in the way of additional COVID-19 relief,” she said.

The Powhatan Rock Hands won the Powhatan Little League Advanced T-ball championship, 13-7, over the Powhatan Braves.

Rock Hands triumph for T-ball title Staff Reports POWHATAN - Playing in the first Powhatan Little League Advanced Tball Championship in seven years, the Powhatan Rock Hands won the championship 13-7 over the Powhatan

Braves at Fighting Creek Park on Friday. The two teams played with a fiverun limit per half-inning. The two teams tied at 5-5 after the first inning, but the Rock Hands went up 10-5 after the second, and then three infielders

collected three hits by the batters and got runners out at first base twice and third base once. The Rock Hands then grabbed a six-run lead in the top of the third inning to secure the win, as the Braves wouldn’t be able to score more than

five runs and catch up in the bottom half-inning. But the players were able to play the complete three-inning distance, with the coaches on both teams agreeing to finish the championship game and play the rest of it for fun.

That’s because Silver Vault Bags loaded with pure .999 State Silver Bars are now being handed over to everyone who beats the 2-day order deadline. “That’s why Virginia residents will be hoarding all the silver bars they can get their hands on for the next 2 days. This comes as no surprise after the standard State Minimum set by the Federated Mint dropped to the lowest ever for everyone who gets the Silver Vault Bags making them a real steal,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America. “As executive advisor to the private Federated Mint, I get paid to deliver breaking news. And here’s the best part. This is great news for Virginia residents because it’s the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint,” said Withrow. The only thing residents need to do is find the first three digits of their zip code on the Distribution List printed in today’s publication. If their zip code is on the list, they just need to call the National Silver Hotline before the 2-day order ■ VIRGINIA RESIDENTS CASH IN: Calls are pouring in from state residents who are trying to get their hands on the Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags pictured above before the deadline ends. That’s because residents who find their zip code printed in deadline ends. today’s publication are cashing in on the lowest ever State Minimum price set for the next 2 days by the Federated Mint. And here’s the good news. Residents who do are getting the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $290 for each Virginia Silver Vault Bag which is just $29 per bar as long as they call the National Silver Hotline at; 1-800-280-2754 EXT. FMM4031 before the deadline ends. Phone lines open at precisely 8:30 A.M. this morning and are expected to be flooded by Virginia residents looking to cash in on the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint to date.

Who gets the Silver Vault Bags: Listed below are the U.S. zip codes that get the Silver Vault Bags. If you find the first three digits of your zip code call: 1-800-280-2754 EXT. FMM4031 201 220 221 222 223 224 225 226

That’s why area residents who find their zip code on the distribution list today are being urged to call. Since this special advertising announcement can’t stop anyone from buying up all the new 2020 Edition Virginia State Silver Bars they can get their hands on, the Federated Mint has not set a limit of how many Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags residents can get – these are the bags pictured above that contain 10 individual Silver Vault Bags each. Everyone who gets these will be glad they did. “R esidents who wa nt to ca sh in on the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint better hurry. That’s because after the deadline ends, the State Minimum for these pristine half ounce Virginia State Silver Bars set by the Federated Mint will go up to $50 per bar no matter how many bars people get,” Withrow said.

I keep calling and can’t get through: Keep trying. Right now everyone’s looking to cash in on the lowest State Minimum ever set by the Federated Mint. In fact, we won’t be surprised if thousands of residents order up as many Silver Vault Bags as they can get their hands on before the deadline ends. That’s because the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint has been slashed to the lowest ever at just $29 for each silver half ounce bar for the next 2 days for everyone who gets the vault bags. And since each Silver Vault Bag contains 10 pristine State Silver Bars for just $290 we’re guessing state residents will be claiming two or more bags while they’re up for grabs. But all those who really want to cash in are taking the Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags containing 100 State Silver Bars before the deadline ends and the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint goes up to $500 per Vault Bag. In fact the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint is reduced even further for those getting the Jumbo Bags so just be sure to ask the National Silver Hotline operator for your discount. So if lines are busy keep trying. How much are the Silver Vault Bags worth: It’s hard to tell how much these Silver Vault Bags could be worth since they are in pristine condition, but those who get in on this now will be glad they did. That’s because the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint goes up to $500 per bag after the deadline ends. So you better believe that at just $290 the Silver Vault bags are a real steal for everyone who beats the deadline. Can I buy one State Silver Bar: Yes. But, the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $29 per bar applies only to residents who purchase a Silver Vault Bag(s). That means only those residents who order a Silver Vault Bag(s) or a Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bag get the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint. All single bar purchases, orders placed after the 2-day deadline and all non-state residents must pay the $50 per silver half ounce bar. Why is the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint so low now: Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to get the silver at the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint. Now all residents who find the first three digits of their zip code on the Distribution List above are getting the Silver Vault Bags for themselves and all the solid .999 pure State Silver Bars found inside. The price for each Silver Vault Bag after the deadline ends is set at $500 which is $50 per bar, but residents who beat the 2-day deadline only cover the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $290 for each State Silver Vault Bag which is just $29 per bar as long as they call the National Silver Hotline before the deadline ends at: 1-800-280-2754 EXT. FMM4031. Hotlines open at 8:30 A.M.

“We’re bracing for all the calls and we’re doing the best we can, but with

just hours left before the deadline ends, residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication need to call the National Silver Hotline,” Withrow said. ■

■ SILVER HITS ROCK BOTTOM: It’s good news for state residents who get the Silver Vault Bags each loaded with 10 solid .999 pure Silver State Bars. That’s because residents are getting the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint as long as they call before the deadline ends.

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, eagerly follow all impulses to explore new interests. This is a great time to start a new hobby or even change careers. Be aggressive with your goals.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take inventory of the value of what you have. That doesn’t strictly mean material things. It also refers to the friends and loved ones who always have your back.

CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 There is no need to deny yourself some guilty pleasures, Capricorn. Dig into a big piece of cake or indulge in some binge-watching. You’ve earned it.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it is alright to go against the grain once in a while if it means that much to you. Sometimes you have to be a trendsetter. This week you stand out in a good way.

LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 There is some tension going on with you this week over what you desire and what you know is good for you, Leo. You’ll need to walk a fine line if you are to get both.

SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it can sometimes be best to walk into a situation without any expectations. This way anything that happens can be taken at face value.

AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, expect more plots than a soap opera in the days ahead. The good news is that you decide which course things will take. Surround yourself with your support network.

GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 This week could mark the start of a fun and informative phase for you, Gemini. Look around at all the possibilities to learn new things. You can expand your knowledge tenfold.

VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, sometimes the best conversations you can have are the ones in which the person you are chatting with disagrees with what you are saying. It’s an opportunity to debate.

SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 It’s required patience, but things will start to make sense in your life this week, Sagittarius. All of the parts start to fall into place and the bigger picture is revealed.

PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, excitement is fine, but your eagerness to jump into a project may seem too intense to others. Temper some of your emotions.
