New towers are critical step for public safety By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan skyline recently saw a big change with the construction of two 400foot telecommunications towers that represent a significant step forward in the county’s new land mobile radio system. One steel tower was constructed last week in the 1700 block of Cook Road, and another tower was built the week before that in the 2000 block of Anderson Highway. There is still construction work to be done on the towers and the land mobile radio (LMR) equipment has to be installed on them and then tested and certified, which is another lengthy process, said Tom Nolan, director of public safety communications. But getting to the point where the towers could be constructed represents more than a year of planning and approvals from different local, state, and federal

agencies, so Nolan is thrilled to take this step forward in the long, complicated process of building a new LMR system. The wait will pay off, though, when the county has a state-of-the art system that will have “unbelievable capabilities and features” and serve Powhatan for many years to come, Nolan said. Most importantly, it will provide reliable radio coverage for first responders, whether it is a deputy responding to a call needing backup or firefighters who need more assistance to put out a fire. “Essentially 95 percent of the county is going to have excellent, excellent coverage. It doesn’t mean the other 5 percent won’t. It just means we are going to have certain measurable standards for 95 percent,” Nolan said. Conditional use permits for the towers were unanimously approved in October 2019 by the board of supervisors to help upgrade the county’s emergency radio communications system.

POWHATAN – Lt. Marilyn Durham only realized the momentous nature of her promotion after she agreed to take the job. Durham was promoted on Sept. 23 to the position of lieutenant over the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office’s criminal investigations team, making her the fifth highest ranking officer in the agency. Beyond the excitement over her promotion, Durham was immensely proud when she realized that accepting the new position made her the highest ranking female deputy in the office’s history. “I am very aware of it. Just being in this line of work for 15 years and talking with other women at other agencies, it is

still a limiting factor to see women move up or even stay in this field,” she said. “I always think how many older male law enforcement do you see in this field, but when is the last time you saw an older female officer? When I talk to other people and I tell them that, they have to think about it. It has been awhile.” But while Durham recognizes achieving this new rank is a major milestone, she said she also sees it as another sign of how the sheriff’s office is evolving and diversifying. When she was hired in 2009, she was one of three female deputies on staff at the time, along with animal control deputies Christine Boczar and Ashley Gatewood. At the time, Durham was the only female patrol deputy on staff see DURHAM, pg. 4

of eliminating single cuts from county code By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors was divided last week in it is decision to eliminate single cut subdivisions from county ordinances. During its meeting on Monday, Sept. 28, the board voted 3-2 in favor of removing the capability of property owners to create previously allowed single cuts out of the zoning and subdivision ordinances. The decision was timely with the discussion the board continues to have about tightening up how the county can be developed. A single cut subdivision involves the division of a parent tract, which is a parcel platted prior to April 18, 1988, that has not been divided or changed. County code previously allowed an additional lot that was at least 2 acres in size to be created as part of a single cut subdivision. In most other instances, except for family subdivisions, the minimum lot area within the Agricultural-10 (A10) zoning district (where most singe cut subdivisions occur) is 10 acres. Chairman David Williams, who represents District 1, Bill Cox, District 4, and Karin Carmack, District 5, voted to eliminate the single cut capability. However, they added language to grandfather anyone who was currently going through the application process and completed it by Wednesday, Sept. 30, allowing nine applications to be completed before it took effect. Larry Nordvig, District 2, and Mike Byerly, District 3, voted against eliminating single cuts. Despite a robust debate on the topic, discourse stayed civil overall until just before the vote,
when the board members in favor of eliminating single cuts suggested the amendment for the grandfathering language. When

staff read prepared language, an upset Nordvig questioned why it was not dispersed to all board members. He insinuated the decision “was in the can” with himself and Byerly on the outside. Williams said he alone had staff prepare the language in case it was needed, and Cox and Carmack agreed they hadn’t seen it before the meeting. But Nordvig retorted with “sounds good, smells bad.” Discussion continued for a few more minutes before the vote was taken.
Public hearing In addition to a spirited debate among board members, the topic, which took up more than an hour and a half, also saw eight people speak during the public hearing held on the ordinance change. All eight people asked the board not to eliminate single cuts. Most of the residents talked about the elimination taking away property rights and a useful tool for residents who may see PROPERTY, pg. 8

O B I T UA R I E S ARTHUR BARTLAM Arthur Wayne Bartlam, 83, died suddenly on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, at his beloved home on Gwynn’s Island. He was a fisherman tried and true and caught 48 fish on the last day of his life. He was preceded in death by his parents, Arthur and Jeanette Bartlam; and his dear son, Mark, with whom he is probably now having a wonderful fishing party with in heaven. Wayne is survived by the catch of his life, his wife, Barbara, of 62 years; his BARTLAM daughter, Cindy Merchant (Mike) of Powhatan; his brother, Bruce Bartlam (Pat) of Moseley; and his sister, Linda Reams (Ken) of Mathews. In addition, he is survived by six grandchildren, including Elspeth Lambert (Brad), Canaan Merchant (Chelsea), Hannah McClelland (Chris), Caitlin, Lindsay and Coleman Bartlam; and also six great-grandchildren that he adored. He is also survived by his nephews, Chip Reams and Jeff Bartlam; and nieces, Mary Lyn Paolella, Leigh Ann Piazza and Christy Carlson. There are also many children, teens and young adults who have happily adopted him as their “Granddaddy.” He had a large and loving personality. He never met a stranger and would
usually end up inviting them to dinner. Those who knew Wayne best were not immune to his constant jokes and teasing. You can bet that if he didn’t tease you then he probably didn’t like you. In addition to fishing and teasing his friends, Wayne excelled in hunting, crabbing, finding arrowheads, breaking his tractor, flirting with young girls, hoarding junk and going to bed ridiculously early. He also enjoyed history, poetry, satire, opera and reading ALL historical markers on the highways much to the chagrin of his family. Wayne was born in Richmond, Virginia, and raised as a boy in Chesterfield County. He attended Richmond Polytechnic Institute and University of Connecticut and was in the Naval Reserve. He moved his family to Powhatan in 1969 to enjoy the rural life. He worked at Richmond Federal Savings and Loan before moving on to the Defense General Supply, where he retired. He was a member of Red Lane Baptist Church for 51 years where he served as deacon, youth director and chairman of the building committee. As you celebrate his life please be reminded “that a little bit of Wayne goes a long way.” If you desire to carry on his legacy then spend time with a child and teach him or her to fish and don’t “burn daylight.” The family received friends Sunday, October 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the Bennett & Barden Funeral Home, 3215 Anderson Hwy. (Rt. 60), Powhatan. Funeral services were held Mon-
day, October 5 at 11 a.m. in the Red Lane Baptist Church, Powhatan. Interment church cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Red Lane Baptist Church Youth Department. Online condolences may be made at bennettbardenfh.com.

The Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District has approved approximately $260,000 dollars of funding to area farmers and landowners. The funding is from the Virginia Agricultural Cost Share Program (VACS). The purpose of this funding is to cover a portion of the cost for farmers to install conservation practices to reduce erosion and nutrient runoff to improve water quality. This funding will implement approximately 144 separate conservation practices in Goochland and Powhatan counties. These practices included converting erosive cropland to permanent grassland, installing fencing and excluding livestock access and waste from streams, continuous no-till cultivation of crops, and several new practices to more efficiently use and prevent runoff in the application of nitrogen and phosphorous from cropland. The grant of funds from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for this program is the largest amount of funding the Monacan District has received in the last ten years. There are still funds available to assist other farmers and landowners with installing additional practices. For information, contact the Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District at 804-556-4936.

Mars Base Camp initiative to keep youth engaged in STEM activities Contributed Report Throughout the month of October, youth from across the country will use their knowledge, creativity, and innovation in learning about STEM topics during the 13th annual 4-H STEM Challenge. Formerly known as 4-H National Youth Science Day, this year’s STEM Challenge, Mars Base Camp, will explore the theme of sending humans on a mission to Mars. With this year’s launch of the NASA Perseverance Rover to Mars, the 4-H STEM Challenge will encourage young people to take an interest in STEM through fundamental concepts in space exploration and beyond. The National 4-H Council, Virginia Cooperative Extension and Virginia 4-H, with support from Google, designed four unique hands-on activities to get kids and teens to explore computer science, space agriculture, and more. Events and registration websites are listed below.
“The Mars Base Camp theme is the perfect topic to engage young people and encourage them to explore a wide range of exciting subject areas related to STEM, in addition to the theme of outer space,” said Erika Bonnett, a Virginia Cooperative Extension specialist. “Extension and the nation’s land-grant universities are perfectly positioned to develop research-backed curriculum and activities that help young people learn in creative ways. These activities inspire kids to get hands-on and think about some big problems that today’s top scientists and engineers are working on.” As young people, parents, and educators continue to find new and creative ways to stay engaged during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 4-H STEM Challenge has adapted to ensure that young people everywhere, regardless of internet connectivity or family resources, have access to STEM Challenge kits with both online and offline activities.
The Powhatan Extension Office will have Mars Base Camp kits available to loan out to local families, as well as classroom kits. Due to the popularity of this program, the kits are back ordered but the office should have some locally by mid to late October. For more information, contact Cathy Howland, Powhatan 4-H Extension Agent, at 804-5985640 or chowland@vt.edu. Going on now, youth are invited to participate in the STEM Challenge, as well as other planned virtual events. For information about how to get involved, visit the 4-H Stem Challenge website. Virginia 4-H will host weekly events to celebrate and get youth excited about STEM. Youth and families can register for one or more events. If you have questions or would like more information contact Erika Bonnett at ebonnett@vt. edu or visit this website to register. Tuesdays at 2 p.m. 4-H Mars Base Camp How-To Sessions

The trail was designed from the ground up to provide an intense and frightening walk through a

owned towers are part of a plan to build a next generation 911 system that allows first responders to communicate no matter where they are in the county. The county’s current system is no longer supported. The county is in a $9.7 million contract with L3Harris to build the system, Nolan said. The new towers, which cost about $650,000 each to construct, are part of a network of seven towers that will make up the system. Three are county-owned, the county has been proffered space on two, and the rest involve rented space. Work to outfit the pre-existing towers with the new LMR equipment will also be ongoing in coming months. There is still construction work to be done on all seven towers, which should be done by the end of the year, Nolan said. LMR

enough, events that have happened this year in Powhatan show it is not exempt from these issues, she said. “I have spent the last 28 years of my life in Powhatan and I used to be so proud to be from a community that always came together and loved one another,” she said. “But this year alone I have seen a major divide with board of supervisors stirring up trouble in our school system and never being held accountable; back and forth on social media regarding confederate flags and Black Lives Matter, and to also have someone in our very own community lie that they were beaten and robbed by a black couple, just to then turn around and say that it never happened. That last situation alone could have started a race war in our very own community and put so many black lives in danger.” The hatred she has witnessed this year makes her question not only if her life matters to some in the community but the lives of her children, including her unborn baby, Prince-Jones said. “What if what happened to Breonna Taylor happened to myself in this community?

Total Terror will be open Fridays and Saturdays in October, starting Oct. 9, from 7 to 11 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person and are available online at www. totalterrorhaunt.com or cash at the door.

equipment should be installed and ready for testing on the new county-owned towers by May 2021 and the remaining towers by September 2021. Based on the current schedule, the entire LMR system is projected to be completed by June 2022. As far as the timing of having the LMR equipment tested, Nolan said it is important to have full foliage, which traditionally happens around May. Testing will take place between May and October 2021. Testing the signal coverage will be done in buildings and outside to make sure public safety personnel in those areas can communicate effectively and reliably. “It is going to provide us with some critical coverage where we don’t have any other towers in the area we can hop on. Putting (the towers) at 400 feet, our coverage footprint is tremendous," he said. In addition to the public
safety benefits, the towers will hopefully represent another step forward in providing more cell phone coverage as the county is in negotiations with Verizon for it to put equipment on the Cook Road tower, Nolan said. That tower and the Anderson Highway tower will also have room for other mobile phone carriers. “We are doing everything we possibly can to make sure Verizon has the opportunity to be on this tower as fast as possible. We are not slowing anything down. We are working right now to get the lease contract done,” he said. Standing below the Cook Road tower on Tuesday, Sept. 29 as it reached the halfway point of 200 feet, Nolan added that he was especially appreciative to landowners Chris and Cary Martin for leasing some of their land to the county and allowing a 400-
people fight for justice for me or would they try to lie or dig up things from the past to try to justify my killing,” she said. Hope may be difficult to hold onto right now, but “we have been through worse as a country, we have been through worse as a people. But we survive, we persist, we push forward,” said Sen. Jennifer McClellan, D-Richmond. She urged those listening to put their pain into action through criminal justice reform, police reform, and legislation to help make the Commonwealth a better place. “We have come a long way as a country, but we still have a long way to go. If we give up hope, if we stop fighting for justice, then there will be no change, there will be no justice,” she said. Dr. MarQuita Carmichael Carruthers spoke to the pain of black mothers who are “weary of burying their children and being asked to swallow the lies.” When she was first asked to share that grief and pain in the vigil, Carruthers said she found herself asking if her pain would be “used for performance.” “To ask black women to bare our souls, to express how we are feeling about all that we are being asked to endure on a daily basis in addition to those
microabrasions we get anyway, I would ask this question of every person on this call who is not a woman, every person who does not identify as a black woman,” she said, addressing the people on the Zoom call. “I would ask you to think about just how horrific you would feel, how heartbroken you might be, if George Floyd was the name of your child? How would you feel if George Floyd was the name of your husband? How would you feel if George Floyd was the name of your father and you happened to turn on the news and see your father crying out with his loud and last voice?” Rather than reading a planned statement, Ebony Brown read an original poem that in part asked the question, “How do we continue to have to tell mothers that their child’s only sin was the color of their skin, And for that reason alone their life didn’t mean enough to defend?” Lisa Thompson reminded those listening to the call that although they may be feeling frustrated, angry, isolated, alone, or like they don’t know how they will continue to put one foot in front of the other, “You were created for a time such as this.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.
at Powhatan Food Pantry Contributed Report The Powhatan Food Pantry is in desperate need of volunteers who can help pick up food at Food Lion in the mornings. Right now, the nonprofit is currently looking for people who can pick up on Mondays and two people that can pick up on Thursdays. The job would be to meet at the pantry around 8:30 a.m. on Mondays to take one of its vans to the Food Lion foot tower to be built on it. The county evaluated upwards of 50 parcels as it looked for a site to place the tower, so it was a relief to find a property that met its needs. Martin said he and his wife made the decision to allow the tower on the property because of the added safety it will give to deputies, fire, and rescue. Their son, Hunter, is a paid firefighter in Powhatan. “My wife and I decided anything that would keep them safe, we would go with it,” he said. He added that many of

Thursdays the volunteers would go through both Food Lions. It would take around two hours. The food pantry also needs volunteers who can help when one of see VOLUNTEERS, pg. 8
his neighbors are excited about Verizon locating on the tower because there is a
dead zone in that area of the county that needs to be addressed.

and only the second in the agency’s history. The office previously hired a female patrol deputy in the late 1980s, Carolyn Brockwell, who worked there a few years, said Anne Reynolds, former crime analyst for the office. Other female deputies served in intervening years but not on patrol. Today, 11 of the 42 deputies who serve under Sheriff Brad Nunnally are female, which is about 26 percent of his office. Nunnally said that is up from about 9 percent when he took office in 2016. John W. Jones, executive director of the Virginia Sheriffs Association, said the group commissioned the Center for Community Development and Social Justice of the University of Lynchburg in 2019 to conduct a study, and

gender was one of the questions in the study. The findings showed that in sheriff’s offices around the state, 83 were male, 16 percent were female, and 1 percent was unknown. While he is proud of the growing female representation on his staff, Nunnally said it wasn’t a conscious effort on his part. “We have been fortunate that women have applied here and they have done good work. It is a touch different perspective sometimes but, to be quite honest, I have never thought about it. It really is not why I hired any of them. They did great in their interviews, had great recommendations, and most all of them have excelled since they got here,� he said.
A big milestone The change in positions started with Lt. Lee Roy Sullivan Jr., who retired as of Oct. 1 as the head of the patrol division. Nunnally said Sullivan retired with a combined 31 years in law enforcement, including working for the sheriff’s office since 2008. After considering who would take over supervision of the patrol division, Nunnally decided on Lt. Mike Wentworth, who was head of the criminal investigation division and the only other lieutenant in the office. It was basically a lateral move since he will remain a lieutenant, but Wentworth’s seniority makes him the fourth highest ranking officer in the office. Wentworth had started his career in patrol and wanted to get back to it, Nunnally said. Because of Wentworth’s experience as an investigator, a former K-9 handler, and a patrol deputy, the sheriff thought it would be a great fit.
When deciding on who would take over leading the criminal investigations division, Nunnally said he decided to promote Durham, who was a senior detective, because her “attention to detail and her drive to solve cases and look out for victims of crime made her stand out.� Durham is not the first female division supervisor since Boczar, who is a sergeant, is head of the animal control division, Nunnally said. However, she is the first female deputy to rise into the command structure of the top five positions, who are usually the people who have direct input in major decisions regarding the sheriff’s office. In her job function now as a lieutenant, Durham will still work cases, Nunnally said. She will also assign casework to the other investigators, ensure they receive any training they need, recommend them for classes, and make sure they maintain their certifications. She will also be responsible for making sure the division is up to date on new forensic technologies. “Basically, overall she will supervise our investigators. So, if I need to know which cases are active and where we are on active cases, she is the one I will talk to,� he said. When Nunnally called her into his office to ask her if she would take on the new role, Durham said she was beyond excited. “I feel like I worked really hard and it is an honor to be able to serve my community in that capacity, to make sure the criminal investigation division runs well,� she said. When she was hired in 2009 as a patrol deputy in Powhatan, Durham
came to the office with four years of experience in the Farmville Police Department. She became a master deputy in 2014 and the office’s first female detective when she moved to criminal investigations in 2015. She achieved senior detective in 2018, another first. She did all of that while raising three children with her husband. Eugene, a firefighter who volunteers with Company 3 and is a captain with the Chesterfield Fire Department. Durham earned a master’s degree in human resources from the University of Richmond in December 2019. She is also a Department of Criminal Justice Services certified firearms instructor who teaches conceal carry classes and basic live shooting. She went through the Virginia Forensic Science Academy in 2014 and in 2018 finished the Virginia Sheriffs’ Institute Certification program, which was to be completed every four years for recertification. With her new position, Durham will oversee three detectives – Arthur Gregory, Austin Schwartz, and Emma Barden – with a fourth detective position currently open. While she is excited about the supervisory role, Durham said the division is a team that works well together and helps each other regularly on different cases. “We all have discussions how we want to see things work out and help each other with our investigations. That was there before, it’s just now I am on top,� she said. Jeff Searfoss, chief deputy, was partners with Durham in criminal investigations when he was a detective. They worked together on “ev-

Rising numbers Durham said she appreciates that during Nunnally’s time as sheriff, the administrative staff has worked hard to diversify the office and made a commitment to hiring and promoting based on experience, time in service, work ethic, and attitude, not personal or professional relationships. A sheriff’s office needs to represent and reflect the community it serves, and that includes the women and girls who live in the county, Durham said. However, she doesn’t believe the female deputies were hired because they are women. “It just so happened we had qualified women who applied and accepted a job offer when it was offered to them,� she said. Nunnally agreed, saying “Maybe that is where we are supposed to be in the first place, where it is just not a consideration. I put them in a uniform. I don’t hire them because I need more women or I need more men. It just doesn’t come into the equation.� However, as Powhatan had more women out working in the patrol division in uniform, other women took notice and started applying, he said. The office attracted both veteran law enforcement officers from other agencies and women looking to start their careers in law enforcement, a mix that mirrors men applying to work in the county, he said.

Pumpkins for Kids contest returns Contributed Report Rachel Massengill started the “Pumpkin for Kids” Project 1o years ago with an idea to pick up a couple pumpkins, deliver them to her top three clients for them to paint, and then bring them to the Children’s Hospital of Richmond (CHOR). That year, she saw the excitement from not only the children and staff at the Children’s Hospital but also the participating companies. She realized the project could be so much more, and it has been. Every year, she has added five to 10 more companies who are willing to decorate a pumpkin for the competition. In 2020, many companies could not participate due to the pandemic, but Massengill said she still added 20 more, bringing this year’s event to more than 50 participants so far, including some in Powhatan. “I really wasn’t sure this project would be possible this year given the situation but after speaking with representatives from the Children’s Hospital Foundation, we decided it brings such happiness to the children and the staff at CHOR and to the participating companies in such tough
times,” Massengill said. The event is free for companies to participate. Donations are welcome and one pumpkin is provided by Tom Leonard, who has supported this project for many years. So far in 2020, the event has raised more than $2,500. The process is very simple. Massengill delivers one pumpkin to a company when it signs up, even allowing employees to request any color or size pumpkin or even multiple pumpkins to complete an idea. The company drops off the pumpkin at Independence Golf Club on Oct. 28 between 11:30 a.m. and noon. Lunch is served by Tavern 19 at Independence Golf Course from noon to 12:30 p.m. Local artists will be the judges, picking their Top 10, which are transported to the children’s hospital by Lexus of Richmond, and narrow the victors down to the Top 5, who win prizes. Other pumpkins are donated to local hospitals and senior living facilities. For information about participating, contact Rachel Massengill at 804-5645444 or Rachel@sailawaysolutions.com or Aimee West at 804-833-5834 or Aimee@sailawaysolutions.com.

Cumberland County Cumberland schools to return to in-person learning Contributed Report Due to a prolonged declining spread of COVID-19 in the county, Cumberland County Public Schools has announced it will reopen schools for inperson learning beginning on Monday, Oct. 19. Dr. Chip Jones, superintendent, sent out a notice on Monday, Sept. 28 to families saying that the division had been closely monitoring the spread of the virus. According to the latest data available from the Piedmont Health District, COVID-19 cases had decreased in Cumberland for the previous 25 days. That news led the division to make the announcement about the return to in-person learning using the hybrid pulsing model. The hybrid pulsing model divides students into two groups according to geographic location. Students in Group A will attend school one week on Monday through Thursday and will receive remote learning during the second week. Group B will receive remote learning the first week and come to school Monday through Thursday for the second week. All students will work remotely on Fridays, which will allow teachers time to plan, conference with students, or meet with parents. Custodial staff will also use Friday to clean and sanitize school facili-
ties between groups of students. Schools will notify parents regarding their assigned group. In addition, the school day will be shortened, with in-school classes dismissing at 2 p.m. This will provide teachers time at the end of the day to check in with remote students, hold office hours, and prepare learning packets. Students and staff will be required to wear masks, including when riding the bus. Flexibility for wearing masks may be provided by school officials when social distancing can be maintained. Parents of students who are not able to wear a face covering for medical reasons must provide their child’s school with documentation from a physician. The school division is making every attempt to keep students safe. Hand sanitizer will be available, social distancing will be maintained to the greatest extent possible, school visitation will be limited, extra cleaning and sanitizing will be done, and temperature checks will be conducted. However, if parents prefer to keep their children at home, they may request remote learning. If they later decide to have their children return to inperson learning, the school must have at least a week’s notice to arrange for transportation. Upon arrival at school, students will
Senator speaks to landfill alert group about upcoming session Contributed Report Senator Ghazala Hashmi spoke at the Cumberland County Landfill Alert (CCLA) Community Townhall meeting on Sunday, Sept. 13. She informed an audience of approximately 80 people – 40 on-site and 40 by phone – of the work she is doing to prepare bills for presentation at the 2021 General Assembly. Hashmi spoke about the key four points she and her staff are working on at this time. Historic Preservation: This proposed bill focuses on the need for historic preservation and brings the recently passed Environmental Justice Act to bear in terms of looking at the context of environmental injustice of the landfill. The proposed Cumberland County Landfill impacts the historic community of Pine Grove and the Pine Grove School, an endangered historic site. The proposed bill would apply to the entire Commonwealth and not just one local area. Solid Waste Management: Hashmi stated Virginia is known as the “trash capital of the East Coast.” She went on to state this proposed bill evaluates the regulations that govern solid waste management in Virginia and may likely include measures to establish citizen boards for any future approvals of landfill sites. The proposed bill may also address the need to charge fees for out-of-state waste. The proposed bill also asks that the need for additional landfills be a primary consideration for any approval process. Strengthening the Environmental Justice Act: The Environmental Justice Act became law in July 2020 and requires all state agencies to look at the impact on water, air, and community before approving projects such as landfills and pipelines. Hashmi stated the current law needs to be re-examined to strengthen its language for the EJ Commission, its abilities
to make recommendations, and its ability to affect agencies’ decisions. Her proposed bill will also propose guidelines for actions to occur should instances of environmental injustice be identified. Her goal is to put more “teeth” to the law already in place. Revision of SB 1761 (2019): Hashmi discussed the bill presented by her predecessor in 2019 where adjoining local governments would have input on projects such as landfills, which affects residents of both Cumberland and Powhatan counties. She stated this is a difficult issue since each local government has the right to approve what is best for them. Her proposed bill will have a narrower focus on enabling neighboring localities to work together prior to making decisions for taking actions that impact issues of the environment. Her bill would ask for a regional, rather than a local, approach to issues of environmental injustice and will be built on the foundations of the Environmental Justice Act already in place. A question and answer period resulted in several items being addressed. These items included a clear definition of out-ofstate garbage, is there a point where outof-state trash becomes in-state, such as when it goes to a transfer station and then to the landfill, and protection of private wells. CCLA is a citizen-based group whose goal is to stop the proposed Green Ridge mega landfill in Cumberland County. They provide factual, relevant, and current information to their supporters by various means to include phone calls, emails, electronic means, and in-person monthly meetings. CCLA is now in their third year of existence and they have and will continue to do fairly, ethically, and legally everything in their power to see to it that this landfill does not come to Cumberland County or to Virginia.
Registrar shares important dates Contributed Report In-person absentee voting began on Sept. 18 in Cumberland and will continue through Oct. 31 in the Registrar’s Office. Those wishing to vote early may come to the office, located at 1487 Anderson Highway, Cumberland. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The office will also be open for in-person voting from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on two Saturdays, Oct. 24 and 31. Voters will need to show their ID. A list of acceptable forms of identification
may be found at www.elections.virginia.gov. The last day to register to vote or to update an address is Oct. 13. The last day to request an absentee ballot to be mailed is by 5 p.m. on Oct. 23. People will be able to drop their voted ballots at the office, at the voting precincts, or by mail, postmarked on or before Nov. 3 and received by noon on Friday, Nov. 6. All regular polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, which is Tuesday, Nov. 3. For more information, contact the Registrar’s Office at 804-492-4504.
enter the buildings in staggered shifts to maintain social distancing. Staff members will take temperatures of all staff and students entering the buildings. Students with temperatures higher than 100 degrees F, as well as those exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, will be sent to the clinic for further screening and to await parent pick-up as deemed necessary. In addition to a fever, symptoms of COVID-19 include a new loss of taste or smell, shortness of breath, runny nose, chills, headache, new muscle aches, vomiting, or diarrhea. CuCPS is asking parents to do the following: Screen your children each morning before sending them to school. If children have a fever higher than 100 degrees F or display any of the symptoms of COVID-19, keep them home. Be available to pick up your children if they develop symptoms of COVID-19 after they arrive at school. Talk to your children about COVID-19 and the importance of wearing masks and washing hands. Have your child at the bus stop at least 10 minutes early for the first week of school since pick-up and drop-off times may vary according to the number of students opting to participate in in-person learning. Parents will receive notification let-
ters if the division has confirmed positive student or staff COVID-19 cases in a school. The division will continue to work with the Piedmont Health District to determine if additional students must be sent home to quarantine or if schools need to be closed in the event of an outbreak. Because school buses will begin transporting students on Oct. 19, meal distribution for remote students will be changed to Fridays, beginning on Friday, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. to noon. Parents may come to any of the three distribution sites to pick up meals. Sites include in front of Cumberland Middle School, at Randolph Fire and Rescue Squad Building, or at Cartersville Rescue Squad Building. Parents also have the option of having meals delivered. Parents requesting meal delivery should contact Sandra Raymond at 804-4924212 at least one day in advance. Jones said he is looking forward to having students back in Cumberland schools and that his staff will continue to monitor health data and implement safety measures recommended by the Virginia Health Department. “I am counting on you to help school stay open by keeping your children home if they are sick and by talking to your children about wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and washing hands,” he said.
Students of the month honored CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
On Sept. 3, during the monthly virtual meeting, the Cumberland School Board recognized the Students of the Month for each school. These students included the following: Yaretzi Cruz-Araujo, fourthgrader at Cumberland Elementary School, daughter of Victor Gruz and Lizbeth Araujo of Farmville; James Greene, eighthgrader at Cumberland Middle School, son of James and Dominique Greene of Cumberland; and Amar McClinton, ninth-grader at Cumberland High School, son of Eboni Wells of Cartersville. Shown, Dr. Chip Jones, superintendent, presents Yaretzi with her plaque for being named the elementary school’s Student of the Month.
Division awarded $200K grant Contributed Report Cumberland Elementary School (CCES) was one of 51 schools in Virginia to receive a 21st Century Community Learning Grant for the 2020-2021 school year. Grants ranged from $50,000 to $200,000. CCES was awarded the maximum amount of $200,000. The purpose of the grant is to allow
schools, faith-based organizations, or community groups to provide students with tutoring and enrichment activities that complement regular academic programs. CCES will have programs and activities before and after school, during school breaks, on Saturdays, and during summer vacation. Educational services will also
be provided for families of participating children. The program is scheduled to begin in September, and parents will be notified of the dates and times of activities. Dr. Chip Jones, superintendent, stated: “We are excited about the opportunities and partnerships the funding will provide to benefit the students and families of CCES.”
4-H offers Exploration Kits for youth Contributed Report Cumberland 4-H is excited to offer free 4-H Exploration Kits to the youth of the county. The program will offer two kits in October – Introduction to Hand Sewing and Introduction to Photography. The Hand Sewing Kit contains all the materials needed to make two projects, a sewing kit bag and a pin cushion. The kit contains a USB Drive with an Intro to Hand Sewing video tutorial and information for the local 4-H’s YouTube Channel,
where the Intro to Hand Sewing video can be found. The Photography Exploration Kit contains four lessons and can be done with or without internet. Lessons feature focus, rules of thirds, light, shadows, taking special effect photographs, taking pictures from a bird’s eye and bug’s eye view. The kit also contains information about the Fall Photography Contest. Because 4-H has limited supplies, organizers are asking that each
youth work on one kit at a time. When they complete one kit, send in a picture of the completed project along with the Exploration Kit Evaluation, and come pick up another kit. The group’s plan is to put out more cool 4-H Exploration Kits each month. Stay tuned!! Stop by the Cumberland Extension Office, 1548 Anderson Highway, (across from the Cumberland Middle School), to pick up your free 4-H Exploration Kit or call 804-492-4390.

Continuing the fight against cancer is vital By Laura McFarland Editor
S
ome of the names I recognized; many I did not. All of them were important to someone. I read the names as I walked around the perimeter of the “Virginia Unites Let’s Shine On – Drive-Through Luminaria Tribute.” The joint event with the Powhatan and Chesterfield Relay for Life communities was held on Sept. 18 at Westchester Commons as a close-out for the 2019-2020 season, which officially ended on Sept. 30. The names I just spoke of were the ones I saw written on the luminaria bags on display for people to either drive or walk by and remember. They were the names of people who, at some point in their lives, fought cancer. Some of the luminaria bags were to honor survivors; others were to remember those we lost. All of them were important to someone. Although I fully admit I have not been able to make it to every Powhatan Relay for Life event held since I began working for the Powhatan Today six years ago, it has always been a critical event for us to cover. As soon as I know the date, it goes on my calendar, and, some way or another, it gets covered by the newspaper. When COVID-19 hit in the spring, the writing was on the wall pretty early that this year’s event, which was supposed to take place on May 2, was going to be canceled. In addition to all of the normal risks large-scale gatherings represented at the time, the number of people with compromised immune systems who normally attend the event each year is probably significant. If it had happened, 2020 would have been the 25th anniversary of the event here in Powhatan, which is a significant milestone. When I think of all the hard work and dedication that took place in the 24 years preceding it and the months leading up to the 2020 event, I don’t think just in terms of bake sales they planned, wacky lap themes they created, or pretty posters they drew. I think about research they helped fund, the patients and their families they have assisted, the education they
have spread, and the prevention methods they championed that probably saved countless lives. When I think about that kind of hard work taking a hit – the American Cancer Society lost 90 percent of all Relay for Life walks in 2020 – the loss of being able to celebrate this milestone year hurts even more. After having talked with the organizers of the event, I walked around to gather information for the story I wrote for the newspaper. But when the photographs and the interviews were done, I just walked and read the names. Some were lit up with glow sticks and others with little electric tea lights. Their soft glow had its own kind of beauty in the relatively dark part of Westchester Commons where the luminaria event was held. It was a time for me to reflect on those men and women in my own life who have faced that trial. Some came through it and are still here today. Other people that I loved, admired, and respected greatly had their light snuffed out too soon by the horror that is cancer. There seemed like so many bags with so many names, but, in the grand scheme of things, the light would probably be visible from space if we did a luminaria event for everyone in our nation who has fought cancer or been lost to cancer. I delayed writing about this experience a week for two reasons. First, I voted early, and since that process is a time-sensitive, vital part of our democracy, I wanted to go ahead and talk about that experience. Second, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which holds a special place in my heart for many reasons. In my family, we lost my grandmother to breast cancer many years ago and my great-grandmother survived breast and uterine cancers. It is scary to think about the potential risk to my mother and sisters. It also is scary to think about my own risk as I get older. I will turn 39 in November, which begins the one-year countdown until the time it is recommended I start having annual breast cancer screenings with mammograms. From conversations with other women, I know this can be an uncomfortable, even painful expe-
rience. I don’t look forward to it, but I will do it anyway. While Breast Cancer Awareness Month is personally important to me and so many people, it is not the only cancer that has taken or threatened so many of our loved ones. So I decided that in addition to recognizing it, I wanted to include many of the other awareness days, weeks, and months we recognize in this nation and to honor the lives of the people and the individual fights against cancer they represent. January is National Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. February is National Gallbladder and Bile Duct Cancer Awareness Month and National Cancer Prevention Month. March is Kidney Cancer Awareness Month, Myeloma Awareness Month, and National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. April is National Cancer Control Month, National Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week, Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, and National Minority Cancer Awareness Week. May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month, Brain Tumor Awareness Month, National Cancer Research Month, and Melanoma and Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month. June is Cancer Immunotherapy Awareness Month and contains National Cancer Survivors Day. July is UV Safety Awareness Month and Sarcoma Awareness Mont. August contains World Lung Cancer Day. September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and National Liver Cancer Awareness Month. November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, National Carcinoid Cancer Month, National Family Caregivers Month, National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, and Stomach Cancer Awareness Month. A new season for Relay for Life has begun, and as organizers and teams push forward on what will hopefully be an exemplary year in 2021, I hope the Powhatan community will continue to demonstrate its vital support.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Spanberger uses practical ‘get the job done’ approach Dear Editor, During her time in Congress, Abigail Spanberger has been accessible to her constituents and has focused on issues that matter to many of us, such as health care and broadband internet access, with a practical “get the job done” approach. She has proven that she cares more about solving problems than about scoring political points. The Lugar Center ranked her as one of the most bipartisan members of the House, and the U.S. Chamber of Congress awarded her its Jefferson-Hamilton Award for Bipartisanship. In fact, her bill to increase transparency in drug pricing passed the House with unanimous support. Representative Spanberger has shown that the people of her district are her top priority. Every chance she has, she is here in Central Virginia meeting with constituents to discuss what is important to them. She has visited numerous Powhatan small businesses to learn about the challenges they have faced because of COVID-19, and how they have adapted to rise to the occasion. She kept her promise to hold town halls in every county in the district in 2019 and has continued with a strong presence during 2020. Even when she has been unable to meet with constituents in person, she has held issue-focused forums and telephone town halls. She takes our concerns seriously and is working hard for what matters to Central Virginians; that is why Abigail Spanberger has my vote. Eileen Barthelmy Powhatan County
Acknowledge inconsistencies to help bring about change Dear Editor, Election season is upon us, and what we see as a list of polarizing issues seems to boil down to one theme:
Sanctity of Life. Tragically trained to see this issue in starkly political terms, each side deems the opposition as heartless and their own side as heroes. This is a grand oversimplification. Neither political party is without inconsistency in their efforts to protect life. The current political options, however, force us to create and then justify a hierarchy of life – to simplistically deem some lives as more important than others, and to vote accordingly. Is it possible to reject such forced hierarchies? Can we completely and unwaveringly value all life, while understanding the complexity of the challenge in doing so? There are countless examples of the inherent contradictions present in arguments for protecting life. Perhaps we can all see some of ourselves in one or more of these thought processes, and in conceding our own hypocrisy, grow closer to one another. By accepting the death penalty, for example, we normalize state-sanctioned murder, inherently saying that some people “deserve” to die. By claiming that the unborn do not need or deserve protection from abortion, we deem their lives as less important than the mothers who carry them. Yet, by saying that women should not have the right to make ethical decisions about their bodies, we deem the lives of the unborn as more important than their mothers, many of whom are in dangerous and life-threatening situations themselves. By refusing to dismantle white supremacy, we send a clear message that the lives of black and brown people do not matter as much as the lives of those who are white. Similarly, by allowing children to be separated from their families on the basis of illegal immigration, we decide that “legal” lives are more deserving. When we do not ensure high quality, non-bankruptcy causing healthcare, we value saving rich lives over poor. By insisting that our quality of life take priority over protecting others during a pandemic, we loudly proclaim that our own lives are most important. Yet, by allowing our environment and its biodiversity to be recklessly destroyed for the benefit of the economy, we turn our back on the life of our collective mother, Earth, proclaiming that human financial gain is more important than all other life forms on our planet, including our own. While acknowledging inconsistency within our own

views is uncomfortable, and will likely not change the way we vote, my hope is that it changes our discourse. Life is complicated, and if we are able to wade into the murky waters of this truth, we might move closer to reconciliation, growth, and comprehensive commitment to protecting all life. As complicated as life is, it’s the least we can do for each other. Chiara Hoyt Powhatan County
Election could highly impact second Amendment rights Dear Editor, I am very concerned about the upcoming election as it relates to the Second Amendment. As you know the Second Amendment says, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Let’s break this apart. The militia in the context of the amendment are the people of the community that are expected to defend the community against enemies that could attack the community. The militia is not the National Guard as some would believe. “Security of a FREE State,” was inserted to protect the people against the tyranny of the governing authorities. Lexington and Concord were examples of the British trying to seize arms from the citizens. We are experiencing the same thing from our governing authorities. We have a perfect example here in Virginia with the complete control that the democratic party has now. They say the new recently passed restrictive gun laws are safety measures so folks won’t get shot. We only have to listen to the news and realize that these gun restrictions are useless for stopping criminals. Criminals always find ways to arm themselves regardless of what the laws dictate. The true reason for gun control is to prevent the people from defending their freedom against tyranny. If Joe Biden and his crowd are elected, then your gun rights see LETTERS, pg. 8

will be in jeopardy. Without the people having the right to defend themselves against tyranny, the United States will eventually become another Venezuela. Tyrants do not want the people to have power over them. You may not like President Trump’s tweets or ways of expressing himself, but there is something much more important at stake -- the freedom of our nation. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you vote for the Trump/Pence team this November. If you are afraid to go to the polls, don’t be. I am over 70 years old and, according to the CDC, I have a 95 percent chance of surviving COVID-19. If you are younger your odds increase. Voting in person is the best way to ensure that your vote will be counted. Michael R. Foster Powhatan County
Voting for Trump means making a biblical choice Dear Editor, I have been increasingly concerned in the past few weeks over evangelicals who either say they will not vote or criticize other believers who support President Trump for re-election. Please bear with me as we look at why we should vote Biblically, not politically in 2020, as I paraphrase and add to some thoughts from Pastor Jim Feeney, Ph.D. First, God is pro-law and order. Vote for those who oppose lawlessness in all of its forms. Which party has condemned mobs and protected law enforcement officers?
PROPERTY Continued from pg. 1
need to sell off a portion of their land because they needed money for issues such as a bad crop year or a parent needing nursing care. The residents argued: eliminating flag lots previously already helped decrease single cuts; land is a farmer’s investment for the future and the county is trying to micromanage that investment; questioning the need and timing of the change; the county can’t make all of its decisions based on a theoretical worst-case scenarios; it would eliminate charitable donations of land used for nonprofits, and there was no visible support of the change.
Board comments While single cuts might have once been used chiefly as a tool to help landowners who needed money but didn’t want to sell large swaths of land, more recently it has been used by devel-
God is pro-life. Which party supports deciding whether a born-alive infant should be kept alive or done away with (read: drowned, left to starve, etc.) Hint: Remember the words of our governor in 2019? God is pro-church. Which party is forbidding and threatening with jail those who gather for church in California? Think it cannot happen here? God is pro-nuclear family. Any questions? God is pro-traditional marriage. God created male and female. God is pro-Israel. Israel is our best – and sometimes only – ally. Which president finally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel after his predecessors promised but did not follow through? Hint: He currently resides in the White House. We are in a fight for the soul of this nation. A vote for the Democratic Party will mean packing the Supreme Court with left-leaning judges who will throw out the Constitution like a rotten package of meat. They will make the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico states, filling the legislature with lawmakers who will take away our rights of free speech and the Second Amendment. They will make socialism, a euphemism for communism, the economic system making us paupers. To sit at home and refuse to vote or to vote for a party that eliminated “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance during its convention is to have little regard for our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Considering the impact this election has for generations to come, I encourage you to search beyond mainstream media prior to casting your ballot. Connie Thompson Powhatan County
opers as a way to not have to cut off 10 or more acres of a property in the A-10 zoning district, Carmack said. “I believe historically there has been a basis of that where the farmer didn’t do well on soybeans and he needed to cut 2 acres off. But as of more recently, it has been a tool used by local builders. If we are going to do that, let’s just have the honest discussion of how we want the development to happen,” she said. Powhatan has 136,200 acres in the A-10 zoning district with the average lot size being 17.85 acres, Carmack said. Of those, staff has no idea how many of these are parent tracts that would be eligible for single cuts because doing a title search on all of those properties would be too time consuming. With that huge unknown on the horizon and the board and staff trying to better control how the county grows, leaving the door open for so many smaller, non-
conforming developments to pop up all over would be, as one staff member has poitned out in the past, “death by 1,000 cuts,” she said. Staff provided the board with a map of the county showing how many single cut applications were received by year: 15 in 2016; 13 in 2017; five in 2018, and three in 2019. As of the meeting date, the county had 12 applications, but nine of those were done in the month of September after notice had gone out about single cuts possibly being eliminated. On the opposing side, Nordvig sided with the residents, agreeing that single cuts could help people dealing with life events who don’t want to sell large portions of their land. People who have invested in the land need to have that legacy respected. For many it is their retirement fund, or “dirt 401K,” he argued. Nordvig also argued fervently that eliminating single cuts took away

their property rights by essentially not letting them use their land as they wanted. “Although I am in favor of keeping Powhatan rural, I think this is overstep,” he said. If Powhatan wants to stay rural, why would it provide a pathway to cutting rural preservation areas into smaller and smaller pieces, Cox asked. He argued against assertions made in favor of single cuts, saying they are a justification to allow legal non-conforming lots; previous sales show they are not a tool for creating affordable housing; they do not provide diversity of homes since they are all singlefamily homes, and eliminating them does not take away property rights. Cox asked county attorney Tom Lacheney to lay out what the U.S. Supreme Court has said about property rights, “which is that you have a right to a beneficial use of your property” not a right to develop or subdi-

vide it. Byerly returned to the issue of the unknown number of parent tracts, pointing out how important of an issue it was to many residents who consider their land a legacy and an investment. He acknowledged there were valid points for both keeping and eliminating single cuts and recommended finding a compromise. He said he didn’t think 100 to 300 extra pieces of property would take away the county’s rural atmosphere. He asked the board to look at more options than straight elimination, including restrictions on the single cuts such as how long they must be owned or how much residual property must be kept in the parent tract. Byerly also questioned why the county was even considering the cuts, saying “we are spending a lot of time on it when we don’t have the time to invest and find out how many parcels there are in this county that are parent tracts.”
Several times, Williams pointed to staff as the zoning experts and asked them why they recommended this change. Bret Schardein, assistant county attorney, said that in the life of the county’s comprehensive plan and looking at its vision for how Powhatan grows, single cuts do not represent a good planning tool “because we have no control over it. The public has no say in where these things are, what they look like, or how they are landscaped - those things we hear every single month are important to the county and are top priorities in our comp plan.” Discussion continued on single cuts for another 30 minutes with the board touching on a few more topics, including problems with conflicting language within the subdivision and zoning ordinances that needs to be addressed; how the planning commission advertised notices for the change; and good general planning practices.

Regular slate set Powhatan football to play first six district opponents from 2019 this spring By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

The football schedules have been released for the condensed six-game 2021 regular season, and the Dominion District teams, including Powhatan, are slated to play what would have been their first six district opponents from the original 2020 fall schedules. That means Powhatan will face George Wythe, Midlothian, Clover Hill, L.C. Bird, Cosby and Monacan in that order. “It’s a good schedule. It’s a fair schedule,” said Powhatan head football coach Mike Henderson. “It gives us a chance to still compete with some really good teams.” As far as power points go, all six of Powhatan’s opponents are in the Virginia High School League’s Class 4–6 range. The higher the class of the opponent, the more points a team will receive. Powhatan competes in Class 4. “If we’re good enough, we can’t complain about not making the playoffs because of the schedule,” Henderson said. “We have to win the games in there and if it’s meant to be, we’re good enough, then the opportunity will be there.” Regional playoffs can begin on April 7 (Wednesday) and end on April 17 (Saturday). State semifinals are April 24, and state championship games for football will be May 1. Powhatan will also have four home games in the regular stretch, hosting its first three matchups against George Wythe on Feb. 26, Midlothian on March 5 and Clover Hill on March 12, and then Cosby on March 26 after playing Bird on the road on March 19. Powhatan last year went 3-3

A wild comeback for the win Staff Reports POWHATAN - Unleashing 13 runs in the final two innings, Chris Bryant’s Powhatan Youth Athletics Association combined Belles/Debs team walked-off with a 17-16 win over Steven Roark’s Belles/Debs team in last Monday’s game at the Turner Field Complex. Emily Erdman came across home plate on the winning run when her teammate Taylor Harding took a walk with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth. Erdman ended the night batting 3 for 4 with two runs scored. Tiara Tinsley set up the bases-loaded scenario for Bryant’s team with her two-out single. She batted 3 for 4 and hit a double in the fifth. Roark’s team jumped out to a 9-0 lead after the first two innings, then padded its lead with six runs in the top of the fifth. After getting denied home plate through the first three frames, Bryant’s team finally broke through for four runs in the fourth, but was still in danger of taking an early loss via the 10-run mer-

Carroll receives offer from Randolph-Macon Staff Reports Powhatan High School senior and football standout JaySun Carroll on Sept. 14 announced that he had received an offer to attend and play football for Randolph-Macon College. Carroll last year played at wide receiver and defensive back, recording 16 catches for 205 yards and three touchdowns on offense and making 51 tackles (35 solo, three for loss, one sack), catching two interceptions, forcing one fumble and recovering two fumbles on defense. Carroll made a gem of a play in his Powhatan Indians’ Sept. 27 game at Clover Hill when he high-pointed a catch in the end zone with less than 20 seconds remaining in regulation to help his team tie the game shortly before his
teammate, Mason Pinnell, kicked in what would become the game-winning point-after-touchdown in the Indians’ 21-20 triumph. Carroll in the spring received his first collegiate offer from Division I Football Championship Subdivision school Norfolk State University. Randolph-Macon, which competes in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference of NCAA Division III, went 9-2 in 2019, routing rival Hampden-Sydney 45-3 for the largest winning margin for R-MC in series history and defeating The Apprentice School 35-3 in the inaugural Neptune Bowl.

WHO: WILLIAM KARANIAN (LEFT) & ANDREW SHIFLETT
WHAT THEY DID: Karanian delivered a clutch effort both at the plate and on the mound in the eighth inning of his Powhatan Legends’ Sept. 23 tournament game
versus the Tuckahoe Americans. He hit an RBI single in the top of the eighth to put his team in the lead, scored an insurance run and then pitched a 1-2-3 half-inning in the bottom of the frame to help his Legends secure a 7-4 win over the Americans. He finished the tournament batting 6 for 14 with six RBI, a triple and a run. Despite the Legends’
loss to the Tuckahoe Nationals in the Sept. 24 championship game, Shiflett batted 2 for 2, and he pitched the first six innings in the Legends’ Sept. 23 win over the Americans, striking out five. He also reached base in four of five plate appearances on Sept. 23. Shiflett finished the tournament batting 9 for 13 with two doubles, three runs scored and four RBI.
