More students to return to all in-person classes

By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board voted unanimously last week to have all fourth- and fifth-grade students who are currently on the hybrid model return to full in-person instruction beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 4.

The decision was made during the school board’s meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 13 based in large part on the continued success of having kindergarten through third-grade students return to full-time successfully and administration staff’s recommendation that having all hybrid elementary students back could be done safely.

When the school board approved the combination hybrid and virtual models this summer, they agreed with the staff recommendation that the division would review the situation about nine weeks into the school year to see what, if any, additional hybrid students should return

to full in-person instruction. This would be contingent on local health data and guidance from the Powhatan/Chesterfield Health Department, as well as feedback from students, parents, and staff. It was always made clear that students who chose the full virtual pathway would continue with that model at least through Dec. 18.

Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, explained to the board that there were a few drawbacks to consider. While the schools will be following the approved health and safety guidelines of having students spaced a minimum of 3 feet apart (with masks), he cannot guarantee the students will be spaced a full 6 feet apart, depending on the class sizes and enrollment.

“We will be following our state reviewed health plan, which states that 3 feet of social distancing is allowable with a face covering. Our goal continues to be as close to 6 feet of social distancing as possible. However, with larger class sizes at the fourth and fifth-grade level we

Boatwright honored with House resolution

By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – Lifelong Powhatan resident Ruth Boatwright was recently honored with a resolution passed by the House of Delegates.

Boatwright, 83, was surprised with a special reading of the proclamation in “honor of a life of exemplary devotion to her family, her church, her community, and her business” during the Oct. 15 Powhatan Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Del. Lee Ware, R-65, who was the chief patron of the bill, said he has watched Boatwright during the course of his four decades of living in Powhatan and found her to be exemplary as a person, a community participant, and as a leader. He also commended her for her work in setting up

YMCA virtual biking group challenges themselves

By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – When the competition wasn’t stiff enough, the lead members of Powhatan YMCA’s Expresso team came up with their own challenges.

To the uninitiated person walking into the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA, the group of people often seen riding the stationary bikes in one corner might not stand out. But the team has an international reputation in the world of dragon chasing – a video

game-like program tied to their computerized exercise bikes – in which they take great pride.

So when the semi-annual dragon chasing challenge began in September, they were ready to defend their reputation. Only the challenge never came.

Not even the team in Metz, France – normally their biggest rival – was a threat with many of their members staying away from the gym as the world tries to come to grips with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, said team member Elmer Watts, 74, of Carterssee YMCA, pg. 6

POWHATAN – An error with a direct mailing letter sent to almost 7,000 Powhatan voters being notified of a polling precinct change resulted in a large percentage of them being told to go to the wrong precinct.

Director of elections Karen Alexander said her office was inundated with calls and emails from concerned voters who started receiving the letters Tuesday, Oct. 13. The letters were part of an effort to notify registered voters impacted by three voting precinct changes made because of COVID-19 and space concerns.

The office of elections hired BMS Direct, a direct mailing company it and other county offices have used without issue in the past, to mail the letters, Alexander said.

However, the company not only sent out the letters, which were dated Oct. 2, a good three weeks late but also believes it stuffed many of the letters into envelopes out of order and mailed them without realizing the mistake.

“We didn’t know until voters received them today and called very confused that we had them perhaps registered in an incorrect precinct,” Alexander said late Tuesday night. “No one’s address has been changed.

They are registered to vote in the same precinct they have been. The letter was just sent to them incorrectly.”

The letters themselves did not have voters’ names and addresses on them because it cut down the cost of the mailing, she said.

Having letters sent to the corresponding address instead of to the corresponding voter has not been an issue before.

The mailing company agreed to reissue corrected letters last week, along with a letter of apology explaining what happened, Alexander said. Representatives with the company told her Tuesday they would “do everything they can to have those hit the mail by Thursday so voters have them by Saturday so the correction is taken care of within the week,” she added.

Of course, the problem remains that the damage has been done and there is now mistrust with voters, a distraught Alexander said late Tuesday night. She and her staff were on the phone all day fielding questions, and she was still in her office after 9 p.m. returning the calls of people who couldn’t get through and left voicemails.

Anger and confusion were compounded because of a line on the letter saying recipients had until Oct. 13 to make any changes to their voter registration information, Alsee VOTERS, pg. 5

Threatening letter sent to Black Lives Matter supporter

By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – Local law enforcement officials are investigating a threatening letter that was mailed to a Powhatan resident who displayed a Black Lives Matter yard flag, officials say.

The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by a Powhatan resident who had received a very concerning letter in the mail on Monday, Oct. 12, according to a release from Jeff Searfoss, chief deputy. After speaking with a deputy by phone, the resident was advised that it would be best if he responded to the residence to investigate further, which he did.

Upon arrival the deputy viewed the letter, which was postmarked out of Richmond and had a return address of the Communist Party of America in New York, Searfoss said. The envelope was addressed to “Our loyal supporters.”

The letter referenced the Black Lives Matter flag in the citizen's yard as being a “communist terrorist organization” affiliated with organizations

with the goal of violent “white Christian genocide.” The letter warned that white Christians have the “lawful right of lethal self defense” and stated that they should “Leave the country now!”

The sheriff's office and the Powhatan Commonwealth's Attorney's Office are working together to “investigate this cowardly act of intimidation” and are attempting to determine the letter’s origin, according to the press release.

The matter is also being forwarded to the U.S. Postal Inspector for its review and further investigation.

Sheriff Brad Nunnally said he finds the letter highly offense and won’t “tolerate anybody being intimidated because of their beliefs or which sign they put in their yard.”

“Our office is not going to tolerate that, and, when applicable, we will prosecute,” he said.

He admitted the case faces challenges, including finding the suspect who mailed the letter in Richmond and determining his or her intent with sending the letter.

Depending on how the investigation proceeds, the letter writer could be

charged with Va Code Section 18.2-60, a Class 6 Felony that encompasses threats of death or bodily injury to a person, said Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney.

If any Powhatan County resident has received a similar letter or experienced any other forms of intimidation they are highly encouraged to contact Powhatan Sheriff's Office Lt. Marilyn Durham at 804-598-5656.

The sheriff’s office wishes “to make it clear to anyone having sent or considering sending any letters of intimidation or harassment to any citizen because of their beliefs that this behavior is abhorrent and will not be tolerated,” according to the release.

The Powhatan County Democratic Committee issued a statement on Oct. 16 condemning the action of the person or organization that sent the racially offensive and threatening letter to a Powhatan resident.

“Such threats targeting those who express their first amendment rights of free expression are cowardly and un-American.

We are in an unfortunate

time of escalating political divisions that are fostering extreme behaviors such as this. We need political campaigns and our national election to foster unity, not division, and to be free from threats or intimidation,” according to the statement.

the option of switching to the full virtual model, Jones said.

Among several calendar changes the school board approved was one to make Nov. 3 a divisionwide teacher workday, which, when combined with another teacher workday on Nov. 2, will give the affected teachers two days to prepare their rooms to accommodate the increased numbers on Nov. 4.

Jones also pointed out that some fourth- and fifth-grade teachers are concerned about class sizes with a full elementary return – meaning about 80 percent of all students enrolled at the three schools – and want to remain with the hybrid model.

All of the school board members weighed in during the lengthy discussion about the issue, questioning Jones at length about current health and safety guidelines, contingencies in the case of a COVID-19 outbreak, and the process by which he and his staff arrived at their recommendation.

Part of the discussion centered on the current success weighed against potential risks. Since the school year began, the division has had two cases of staff members testing positive for COVID-19 and seven cases of students as of Oct. 13, Jones said. However, he pointed out that five of the students were made up of siblings from two different families.

In answer to board member questions, Jones explained the procedure the division follows when a staff member or student tests positive, including contacting the health department so it can begin contact tracing and notifying people who may have been exposed and need to quarantine.

To date, no school has had to quarantine an entire classroom.

However, contact tracing looks for anybody who came within 6 feet of the person who tested positive for more than 15 minutes.

With some class sizes causing the distance between students to be shortened, this could potentially have an impact.

Jones said the biggest challenge with the full elementary return from a health and safety standpoint actually falls within buses and transportation. The school district’s transportation department is working on bus route plans to safely accommodate all

Local representatives from the Virginia Department of Health also reviewed the data staff collected and signed off on the full return of the additional students.

The school division has been doing assessments of students to gauge their academic foundational needs in math and language arts and found some areas of learning lost due to the school closures in March, Jones said. Those needs combined with the difficulty distance learning poses for younger students were key factors in the decision to return.

In meeting with the impacted teachers in all three elementary schools in September, Jones said he heard a mix of responses. Some teachers do not like the hybrid model and want all of their students back in class together, while others had concerns about coming back, particularly some fourthgrade teachers.

The class size averages for all three schools in both grades have 20 or more students as of Oct. 8, Jones said. The high numbers in fifth-grade at Flat Rock Elementary prompted the division to advertise for a new teacher to help lighten the load.

Board members weigh in The school board members asked numerous questions about specific safeguards the division has put in place and talked about the feedback they have been getting from teachers and parents.

Jones said some of the elementary classes are using their cafeterias, but some teachers prefer lunch in the classroom.

In response to questions about the HVAC system, Jones said the

division has been doing filter changing and used CARES Act funding to purchase ionization machines. During discussion that followed, there seemed to be some consensus that the board members would like portable ionization machines in the fourth- and fifthgrade classes with larger student sizes. The schools have already been working to bring in more outside air at all of the buildings.

Susan Smith, who represents District 2, said she has heard from many teachers who acknowledge the transition will be hard but tell her “we need our kids back because the hybrid model was killing them – just the maintenance of it and keeping up with it and getting good lessons put out there and the kids understanding what was going on.�

Rick Cole, District 1, asked that the health committee set a minimum number of times students get out of the classroom throughout the day. He said he has received many emails from people concerned about the full return for these grade levels and he shares some of the concerns. But he likes the phased approach PCPS has been taking along with constantly evaluating the situation to see what works and what needs to be changed. “I am heartened by the number of things that we are trying to do to make parents and teachers comfortable with this situation if we do go back,� he said before the vote.

Valarie Ayers, District 3, said she has received passionate letters from parents and teachers on both sides of the argument regarding the next step in full return. She understands the concerns on both sides and agreed she shares some of them but said it comes down to what they believe is in the best interest of the children. At this time she thinks it is best for the majority of students to be back in school in order to thrive.

Chairman Joe Walters, District 4, agreed the majority of teachers he has heard from wanted all of their students back in the classroom full-time. They just want to make sure everything is done as safely as possible.

Kim Hymel, District 5, talked about the strain on hybrid teachers, who have to prepare separate lesson plans for in-class and virtual instruction, adding a great deal of work to their schedules.

This becomes even harder at the middle and high school levels, where they may be teaching a variety of classes.

Jones said the school division is aware that there is a great deal of stress on the teachers, and he is committed to getting them the resources and help they need if they reach out and ask for them.

Looking ahead With the path forward for fourth and fifth grades basically decided, Hymel pointed out that she has had numerous calls and emails regarding the middle and high schools returning to full-time in-person instruction.

The division is trying to take a measured approach going step by step, Jones said. After the youngest students who most need the full-time interaction and classroom structure are settled in, staff can focus on the steps needed to bring back the older students full time.

He pointed out that no surrounding school district other than Hanover County has students back full-time at the secondary level. However, while Hanover did start the school year with full in-person instruction as an option, only 62 percent of students decided to go back. Powhatan, by comparison, had roughly 80 percent of its students that wanted to return to the classroom.

Many divisions that started with a full virtual model are starting to bring students back on the hybrid model, which Powhatan has been doing the entire time, he added.

The middle and high school staff members worked extremely hard to create class schedules that worked on the hybrid model, Jones said. They will need additional time to formulate new schedules.

Staff will bring the issue back to the board at its November meeting, although he was not sure if they would have a recommendation at that point. The other thing to consider is that by the time they talk again in November, the end of the semester is in December. The school board has to consider whether to wait until January to bring the older students back, keeping in mind that the families who were committed to virtual for a semester could want to return at that time as well.

The process Paprika peppers are grown just like other peppers. I start mine from seed in February or March and set them outside after all chance of frost has been eliminated.

I prefer to plant around Mother’s Day. As the peppers grow and ripen, they can be used in other cooking.

Although smaller than your typical bell pepper, Alma is delicious stuffed.

I also allow most of the peppers to ripen to a medium or deep red. I find it easier to clean peppers in a basin of water as it speeds up the process of separating the seeds.

Those wanting a hotter paprika with a different flavor dimension will want to include the seeds. I do not.

Finally, I stack these seed free pepper slices into an electric dehydrator. The weather in Central Virginia is too humid for sun drying. I dry the pieces as much as possible until they are crispy.

With the traditional electric dehydrator this can take 24 to 36 hours. Air fryers have a dehydrating function as well but results will vary from brand to brand. Spanish paprika, a paprika blend using mostly pimento peppers, is generally smoked with oak wood. I am describing how to prepare Hungarian paprika. „ A word of caution: Clean and prepare the peppers using protective gloves as the capsicum can burn hands and especially eyes.

As the months pass, I continue to collect, clean and dehydrate the paprika peppers, storing them in sealed containers. In late fall and early winter – when our atmosphere is generally dryer – I begin the process of grinding the dehydrated peppers into paprika.

I pick a dry, sunny day, and I do them all at once. Using my canning funnel and a large mason jar, I begin grinding the peppers with an electric spice grinder. see PAPRIKA, pg. 7

exander noted. However, that was the date many people started receiving it.

“There are a lot of people who feel this had to have been done on purpose because of all of the issues of voter fraud going on in the world right now. I absolutely respect and understand those concerns. I can’t speak on behalf of the mailing company – nor will I – but I know there was no ill intent from this office,” she said. “I am extremely frustrated that my voters had this happen. Powhatan voters did not deserve this. It doesn’t matter whose fault it was. The issue is that people are now confused.”

In speaking with people who called the office or while returning calls when they could, Alexander said voters were often extremely frustrated and confused.

After hearing her and her staff explain what happened and apologize, “most people were very gracious and understanding and thankful for a real honest answer.”

“I am hoping to have time tomorrow to return the rest of the voicemails that we couldn’t get through today to extend that message,” she said Tuesday night.

Alexander reiterated that anyone with

SECOND ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH

concerns about going to a new voting precinct still has a few weeks to early vote either by mail-in ballot or at the early voting tent behind the Village Building. The early voting precinct is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday through Oct. 30 and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on two Saturdays, Oct. 24 and 31.

Tuesday was further complicated by a power outage first thing in the morning in the Village that slightly delayed the start of early voting and a statewide registration system outage that lasted several hours, preventing Virginians from registering to vote on the final day before the deadline, Alexander said.

“People were not able to go online to update their registration as they had planned, so a lot of people were calling the office trying to get registered, but we weren’t able to access what they needed us to,” she said.

Attorney General Mark R. Herring asked the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to extend the deadline for voter registration by two days, through Oct. 15, because of the registration system outage. Judge John A. Gibney Jr. heard the request on Wednesday, Oct. 14 and approved the extension through 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15.

Dispatchers achieve certification In September 2020, Powhatan communications officers Daniel Spruce and Heather Spruce attended the 44th Basic Dispatcher Academy in Chesterfield.

They are both now certified “dispatchers” under the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DJCS) standards.

The primary PHOTO BY LAURA McFARLAND focus of DCJS is to improve and promote public safety in the Commonwealth. DCJS established training requirements and certifications for 911-dispatchers (communication officers) related to process law enforcement related calls for service.

ville.

Pretty early in the month – probably within the first week – they realized the competition wasn’t going to be there, so they decided to set individual challenges, which was a good thing considering how the month played out, said Tom Walton, team captain.

By the end of the month, the total Powhatan YMCA team score for September was 1.3 billion points, he said. The second place team in Canton, Ohio scored about 334 million points.

Tom, 71, being the fierce competitor he is, had to come up with other ways to challenge himself and his fellow riders, five of whom sat down to share their experiences with the Powhatan Today on Oct. 13. He pointed out that the bikes have 243 leaderboards where people can try to excel, so there are always plenty of ways to test themselves in new ways.

Tom, who competes along with his wife, Diane, challenged his precision by doing 162 rides in which his goal was to earn the exact same score – 372,780 points.

Tom said he scored that number and remembered the steps he took to achieve it. The dragons the riders are chasing in the interactive program move around, so it is not an easy feat to accomplish. Instead of trying to perfectly recreate that same ride, he figured out different mathematical combinations and moves that would get him to the same score.

“There was a 40-year old guy who is new to dragon chasing in Ohio. He was trying his best to catch Diane and myself. I thought if he is looking at our scores, if I score the same thing a whole bunch of times in a row, he is not going to be able to do that because he doesn’t understand the game well enough,” Tom said proudly. “I did it 40 times in a row and then I messed

leaderboard position on the power and speed categories.

The group points out that the YMCA was closed in April, when the first bi-annual dragon chasing challenge was held.

However, Elmer was visiting his sister, who had an Expresso machine, and he won the international dragon chasing challenge almost single-handedly for his team.

His wife, Chris, likes to focus more on the road riding Expresso courses over dragon chasing and did the Tour de France in three different stages.

Beyond scoring points, Elmer highlighted the continued health benefits for the couple of riding the bikes, in addition to the other exercise they do. Since he began riding six years ago, Elmer has lost 55 pounds and his wife has lost at least 60 pounds.

“Particularly during the lockdown period, one of the concerns is that because you are locked down in the house in front of the television and next to the refrigerator that you are going to be gaining weight. I am sure that if I hadn’t had the bike at my sister’s or at our house or once we got totally back in here that I would definitely have been gaining weight,” Elmer said.

Linda, who knew the Waltons from church and started dragon chasing at their invitation, said she really only chases dragon during the challenge months. The pandemic has brought her closer to the team because she enjoys the camaraderie and the fun of working with them on the challenges.

“They didn’t tell you this, but the goal for dragon chasing month is to get 2 million points for the month for an individual.

They all do that in 30 seconds.

For somebody like me that is not good at it, I ended up getting 2 million points in less than a week,” she said. “Every time I would get to a certain point, I would say let me see if I can reach this goal. I ended up getting 25 million for the month, which was

up. So then I did it 80 times in a row.”

“He is psychotic,” Elmer deadpanned, gesturing to Tom, and the whole group busted out in knowing laughter.

However, Elmer will admit to being just as committed. Tom noted that Elmer been known to use salt and paper shakers, apples and oranges on his dining room table to recreate the different rides and figure out better strategies.

“There is always a better way. It never ends. It is not like I just memorize it and that’s what I do. I am constantly looking for a better way,” Elmer said.

“He is more obsessive than I am,” Tom said.

To which a few of the women reply, “I think it’s a toss-up.”

For her challenge, Tom suggested that Diane, 70, beat his individual score from September 2019, which at 435 million points was the second highest score ever attained in a month at the time. She surpassed it in September 2020.

“Then he came up with the bright idea that between the two of us we should score 1 billion points,” she said, adding that meant achieving 75 million in three days between the two of them to reach their goal.

“No two people from the same facility had ever scored 1 billion points in one month. In fact, no two people, their total score, ever added up to 1 billion points,” Tom said. “I saw that we had a shot at it. We might not ever pass this way again.”

It is at this point that Elmer’s wife Chris, 74, and friend Linda Stokes, 65, of Powhatan, say that, unlike the other three, they have never ridden enough to reach 1 billion points. But in its own way, this also is said with a little bit of joking pride.

“We are not as obsessed with it as some people,” Linda said meaningfully.

Besides the monthly goals, Elmer said he was working on his annual stats to increase his for Cumberland County residents.

No more than 100 tires per person will be accepted. (Proof of Residency is required). The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Cumberland Community Center, 1874 Anderson Highway (Route 60 West) in Cumberland. Passenger tires will be accepted on or off the rim. No other tires will be accepted on the rim. Citizens must have an accurate count of tires they bring.

a personal best for me.”

Making connections The competitiveness is definitely prominent in this conversation, but so too is the camaraderie. The five people present genuinely seem to enjoy each other’s company and that of other YMCA members who compete alongside them.

In fact, if they had one complaint, it’s that they miss their fellow competitors. The number of people they get to see and interact with in the gym has dropped dramatically because of COVID-19, as has happened everywhere. The bonus of rarely having to wait for a bike pales next to not getting to see their friends and neighbors.

The most riders the YMCA has ever had riding as part of an Expresso challenge was 132 different people, Tom said. Last month, he figures 25 to 30 people rode.

“I think all of us enjoy the Y at least partially because of interaction with people. We are all retired and it is good for us to interact with people. With less people coming, obviously that is a little bit of a bummer. There are some friends we used to see here all the time and they don’t

come,” Tom said. “As hard as it may be for some of the people in this room to believe, I would rather see more interaction and more people than win a challenge. We’ve got a room full of trophies where we won challenges in the past.”

Even the rivalry they have with other teams is based in mutual respect and good will. Not long after the pandemic started, a member of the Metz team reached out and sent a sweet email to Tom wishing them well and urging to be careful, knowing many of the Powhatan riders were at a higher risk because of their ages, Diane said.

After what the world has been through in the last eight months, it is important to have some facsimile of normalcy, Tom said. While that is not the same for everyone, for him, having his daily routine, in which riding the Expresso machines features prominently, is vital.

“Powhatan is known all over the Expresso world as the team that knows how to chase dragons. Such as it is, that is our reputation,” Tom said. “To see Powhatan back in first place and seeing some of our riders accomplish some things, to me that is kind of like normalcy. It is the way it ought to be.”

Make special memories but do it responsibly

By Laura McFarland Editor

In the spring, when the news of events being canceled because of the growing COVID-19 crisis started happening, it was hugely disappointing, but also understandable.

On the one side, as I watched one organization, nonprofit, and business after another cancel some of our most entertaining annual traditions, it was a blow both personally and professionally.

There are events I attend every year for the Powhatan Today – fundraisers, special holidays, and festivals – that I genuinely love covering for our community. For this writer, the late spring is usually an immensely difficult time to juggle as far as schedules go because everybody is so happy to have some decent weather (hopefully) that the events come all at once. But it also is a pretty entertaining time seeing the community celebrating what makes Powhatan unique in so many different ways.

On the flip side, here was this huge, unknown health problem that posed the highest risk to some of our most vulnerable citizens. Like most people, I severely curtailed my in-person activity. Even if I thought the risk to myself may not be huge, the idea of being a carrier and somehow transmitting the virus to someone else who would be seriously affected was untenable.

It may seem trivial to talk about social and entertainment events in the face of all we have lost. The economy has been devastated, people have lost their lives, people have lost their jobs, schools have been

closed, families have been kept apart, and so much more. It would take a very long, depressing list to enumerate all of the ways COVID-19 has made life suck.

At the same time, our social gatherings and annual traditions are often what gives us a significant sense of place, community, belonging, and even purpose that makes some of the more mundane and difficult parts of life more bearable.

As 2020 marched on, the act of sacrificing so much of what we love and what makes us feel like a community has continued. We hoped if we complied with restrictions early, we might be able to save some things in the summer, fall, and winter, and we have.

Some smaller events, and even some larger events with good social distancing practices in place, have happened.

The Powhatan Freedom Festival, for instance, was a wonderful success, drawing huge crowds in and around the Powhatan County Fairgrounds to enjoy a fantastic July 4 celebration fireworks show.

While not technically a festival, as far as annual traditions go, Powhatan High School will always deserve a huge round of applause for pulling off five back-to-back graduation ceremonies on July 25 to honor as many Class of 2020 graduates as possible.

More recently, the county took advantage of a crisp early autumn night to host a movie night under the stars on Oct. 9, showing “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” to a crowd of almost 150 people spread out across the Powhatan Rescue Squad grounds. It was such a fun, simple offering, but, for a brief amount of time, it provided a sense of normalcy that is hard to find these days.

Son’s strength continually inspires his father

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Rarely a day of the year passes without some sort of special designation, but wedged in between National Lefthanders Day and National Poodle Day is something called National Sons Day. I’m sure all of those newly-designated holidays are richly appreciated by some and largely ignored by others. Truth is, many of them would go unnoticed without the over-amplified effect of social media.

But, national sons and daughters days seem appropriate to me, and I joined thousands of other proud parents in posting messages and displaying favorite photos. It’s a joy seeing the pride and devotion expressed in those thoughts and leaves no confusion regarding how much a son or daughter means to a parent, or the many others whose lives are enriched through their interaction.

I found myself paying special attention to Sons Day this year. As many of you know, my son Jack is a special gift, an inspiration to those who know and love him.

I posted old photos of Jack celebrating Coach to Cure with his Goochland football teammates. The images showed players walking with Jack, escorting him to the pregame coin toss and including him in post-game ceremonies.

The photos had a poignant impact on me as I recalled a time in Jack’s life when things weren’t as difficult, and how special those days of mobility were.

Muscular dystrophy has since robbed Jack of that freedom that most of us thankfully take for granted, and his life has become a count-

less array of challenges and obstacles with the everyday tasks of life becoming more difficult … but never overwhelming.

As the years of a cruel disease have continued to diminish and destroy, the part of Jack that makes him special has only increased. It’s the Jack who provides all who surround him with a sense of joy and love that only gets stronger as his muscles get weaker.

It’s his appreciation of life itself that offers constant inspiration to those lucky enough to surround and love him, and Sons Day gave me the opportunity to recognize just how much I appreciate my son each and every day.

Jack’s optimism and unbelievable courage is a constant reminder to my family of the importance of making every moment count and reminds us that wasted time on negative aspects of life simply isn’t worth the time.

On the worst of my days when nothing seems to go right, I often stop and think of Jack and how he approaches a day full of challenges with a subtle determination. When something seems too difficult or time-consuming, one thought of Jack eliminates my anxiety.

When those photos posted on a social network, I must admit seeing Jack taking those steps brought a tear to my eye. It didn’t last long when I quickly realized it was not the way Jack would want me to celebrate.

So, I did what everyone else who is lucky enough to have a wonderful son does on a day that celebrates those gifts. I sat and thumbed through old photos and thanked my lucky stars for a gift that arrived in my life 16 years ago … and changed it forever.

Now we are on the precipice of three consecutive holiday seasons that are all about coming together to celebrate friends, family, and community. And we are faced with huge questions about how we should handle these seasons.

Some choices are going to be made for us. Festivals, holiday meals, and more that have been happening for years are likely to be canceled. If we refuse to subscribe to the notion that Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, and other cultural and religious traditions people celebrate are just canceled in 2020, how do we commemorate them in safe but meaningful ways?

When we recently asked readers how they planned to mark Halloween, we heard a few traditional options, including trick or treating in a neighborhood or attending one of the smaller Halloween haunted trails being offered in the county. There also were a few innovations, such as an at-home candy scavenger hunt and delivering treats to neighbors ding-dong-ditch style.

Choosing what is best not only for the safety and well-being of your family but your community will be up to every individual to decide – as it should be. It’s a huge question, and, to be honest, I don’t think there is one right answer.

The only thing I would hope to see is that as people go about making these special memories, they constantly remind themselves and others to be as safe and responsible as possible. Wanting to get back some feeling of normalcy is not wrong, but neither is taking some commonsense steps to help keep Powhatan safe.

Dear Editor, I am writing to address the recent controversy involving the Powhatan County Board of Elections. I am specifically referring to the direct mailing error recently reported by the Powhatan Today. I realize that this error, although unintentional, caused much concern and angst among my fellow citizens of Powhatan. However, I would like to remind people how lucky we are as a county to have Karen Alexander as our Director of Elections.

Ms. Alexander is a talented, hard-working individual who, time and time again, goes far beyond what can reasonably be expected of her. For example, recently Ms. Alexander received a call from an elderly citizen of Powhatan who wished to register to vote. The problem was this person had no internet and no transportation. Ms. Alexander took it upon herself to drive to this women’s house and personally ensure she was registered. This goes beyond good cus-

tomer service, and can only be described as a Herculean effort and dedication to duty.

In what is probably the most contentious election of modern times, in the middle of a pandemic, Ms. Alexander and her staff of two have done an incredible job.

The drive-through early voting pavilion Ms. Alexander set up is a testament to this fact. Voting in this manner is quick, easy, efficient and, above all, safe. If it wasn’t for Ms. Alexander’s hard work this could have been a disaster instead of an unqualified success.

In closing, I would like to say that yes, an error was made but it was an error that was made despite Ms. Alexander’s incredible efforts not because of them. Secondly, it’s an error that can be remedied with no lasting impact. So maybe everyone should sit back, take a breath and remember that “to err is human to forgive divine.”

times order plant seed varieties ill-suited for our climate. Varieties ordered from on-line may do well in California, Texas or even Colorado – just not here in Central Virginia.

Ask yourself, too, how much sun exposure your garden site receives.

“All the (peppers) we list are ones we’ve trialed here on our own farm,” says Ken Bezilla of Southern Exposure Seed Exchange in Mineral (www.SouthernExposure. com). “If you don’t have full sun for your garden, the later maturing varieties may not do as well,” he cautioned. “So you might want to keep to earlier maturing varieties.”

Another word of caution: use a facial mask and protective gloves. The vapor emitted from the grinding peppers can be very strong.

opportunities where other people can get involved for the public good.

The resolution was actually approved by the House of Delegates on Aug. 24, but Ware kept it a secret from Boatwright until the chamber meeting. Drawing on something Boatwright had said earlier in the luncheon about not waiting for just the right conditions before acting, Ware said he didn’t want the opportunity to honor her to get away.

“This is as happy a day as I have had for many, many days in this year we have had with all of its difficult days,” Ware said.

Boatwright said she had a suspicion something was going on because her daughter, Amy Potter, was insistent she come, and all of the employees from Richardson-Harris-Boatwright Insurance Agency Inc. were there as well. She listened in stunned silence as Ware read the resolution in her honor.

“My first reaction was I thought, so this is why Amy wanted me to come to this meeting today,” Boatwright said with a big grin.

Ware said Potter was his “secret agent” to gather information about her mother.

As Ware read the resolution, Boatwright said she was amazed to hear her life laid out in that way.

“If I had to sit down and think about all the things I have done, they have just been so fun.

What I have done in my life has been fun times,” she said.

Boatwright was asked to attend the October chamber meeting on the pretext of sharing her memories during a presentation on the Powhatan Leadership Institute (PLI). Organizers of the community program have decided to cancel the 2021 session and plan instead to return in January 2022.

During the presentation, Boatwright talked about the county tour that always begins every PLI session. As a lifelong resident, she assumed before the tour she would be seeing things she already knew. She said she got off the tour bus realizing she had learned even more about her county, which she appreciated.

At the end of her speech, Boatwright reminded those present to live in the moment and not put off things until tomorrow that they can do today.

“I want to tell you, don’t wait to do something until it gets convenient, because it’s never going to be convenient,” she said.

The House resolution talks about Boatwright’s life from childhood to present day. The daughter of William Ivy and Eva Denoon Stokes, she was born Ruth Stokes in in her parents’ home on Trenholm Road and has spent the entirety of her

83 years in the Trenholm community. Boatwright credits her humble but happy upbringing as a key factor in how she decided to live her life and help others.

“I lived the greatest life but didn’t have anything,” she said.

She graduated from Powhatan High School in 1955, where she played on the girls’ basketball team, and to this day she “loves basketball and doesn’t miss a game when her granddaughter, Charlie, is playing.”

Shortly after high school, at a dance at Sunnyside, Ruth Stokes met Freddie Boatwright. The couple married 66 days later. In May 2020, the couple commemorated their 64th wedding anniversary. Together, Ruth and Freddie Boatwright have three children, six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.

In 1962, Boatwright began working at a local insurance agency, where she subsequently became an equal partner in 1981, and, though semi-retired in 2007, she still works three days a week in the firm.

In addition to being a wife, mother, and businesswoman, Boatwright is a lifelong member of Muddy Creek Baptist Church; a longtime member of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce; served on the Huguenot Academy board for several years in the 1980s; supported Powhatan’s Relay for Life since its inception in 1995; and worked on the organizational

Powhatan runners earn first XC wins

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Olivia Goodrich had just finished her 5k race in the rain at Pole Green Park.

The Powhatan High School freshman was standing at the back of the fence with the impression of, “Dang, that was a lot harder than I originally imagined it was going to be . . . I didn’t know it was going to be so many hills!” And then, when race officials were announcing the top three finishers in the girls’ open A and B races, they said something she wasn’t expecting to hear.

They said her name.

She had won the girls B race in 24:32.

“I was like, ‘Whoa! That’s crazy!’” Goodrich said, “and I just had like this moment of enlightenment almost, like, ‘Whoa! I can do this!”

Saturday’s triumph marked the first win for the freshman – who ran a little bit of cross country in eighth grade prior to running for the high school team this year – and it’s inspired her to keep going with it.

She wasn’t the only winner from Powhatan that day. Her teammate and fellow freshman Rylan Powers set a personal record (PR) when he won the boys open B race in 19:43. That, too, was the first-ever cross country win for Powers. He also PR’d by more NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY than a minute while racing in the rain.

Collegiate girls tennis team improves to 5-0 Staff Reports To say Collegiate is opening 2020 on a dominant start to the season would be putting it lightly.

The Cougars, who play their home matches at the Robins Campus in Goochland County, have won their first five team matches, going 34-1 in singles as they defeated St. Catherine’s – the team that beat them for the League of Independent Schools tournament championship in 2019 and finished one round better than them in the state finals – with a winning score of

6-1, and then routed Trinity 7-0.

When breaking down the individual statlines, Collegiate played its most competitive sets of singles yet against St. Catherine’s. The Cougars went into that Tuesday match having recorded 13 10-0 wins, but the Saints prevented a single bagel, winning at least one game against each of the Cougars’ players.

For Collegiate, senior Helena Huff defeated Madeliene Carithers 10-4, freshman Elizabeth Mendoza fended off Reagan Butler 10-5, senior captain Nora Willett powered past Lily

Caldwell 10-1, senior Kayli Shenk from Powhatan out-dueled Lindsey Paulin 10-6, sophomore Lucy Ottley held off McKenly Thompson 10-5 and sophomore Emma Eldridge battled past Olivia Aghdami 10-5.

Ava Dalton got the sole win for the Saints, fending off sophomore Claiborne Dillard 10-5.

Collegiate dominated against Trinity on Thursday, notching five bagels in the seven singles matches. The top three Cougars players all won 10-0, with Huff routing Lucy Rowe, Mendoza blanking Sophie Aprahamian and

Loading takes place at the home of Elwood Yates, Jr., for the annual elk and mule deer hunting trip from Powhatan to Hayden, Colorado.

A tradition undeterred Staff Reports The COVID-19 pandemic at first halted, and has since altered, many events, functions, practices and plans across the globe.

But one tradition is still going strong.

On a gorgeous fall day in Powhatan, a group of local hunters loaded their equipment into a truck and trailer at the home of Elwood Yates, Jr., in preparation for their annual mule deer and elk hunting trip to Hayden, Colorado. Four are flying up, and four are driving the equipment across the country, with stops in states including Indiana, Missouri and Wyoming.

The five-day hunt is set to take place from Saturday, Oct. 24, to Tuesday, Oct. 28. They’ll also be able to do

‘Oh, this is actually pretty fast!’”

While the Virginia High School League cross country season isn’t slated to begin until February due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Powhatan High School’s student-athletes have been able to run unattached in races hosted by clubs like Hanover Elite XC Club, who held the reversecourse 5k’s on Oct. 10.

“It really makes me happy, and it makes me think that our team is going to be doing really well this season,” Powers said of the win.

Saturday’s races marked the first time that the reversed-course layout was used at Pole Green Park. Goodrich said the first mile was definitely the fastest – it was really flat, and it’s when you had the most energy – and then, once they got into the woods, the hills came into play.

Goodrich had also never run this course before, so she wasn’t expecting that – and as rain fell, she said she almost fell down a few of the hills because they were so slippery and wet.

“But it was kind of fun,” she said, describing how it gave her energy. “It was definitely really difficult – by like halfway through mile 2, I was like, ‘Whoa, this is starting to get really tiring,’ but you’ve just got to keep positive and telling yourself you can do this and keep going. . . “. . . learn to love the pain,” she added with a laugh.

For Powers, the challenges posed both by the course’s difficult layout and the rainy conditions included the uphill and downhill transitions. He described both the downhill slopes and bridge on the course as being slippery.

“I almost fell twice,” he said, noting how that led to him utilizing different paces, including slowing down on the downhill transitions to keep from falling.

Before running high school cross country, Powers ran for the middle school and also a few times with his dad before that; he was 9 years old when he ran his first Monument Avenue 10k in Richmond. It was around

some scouting, shooting and installing of blinds on Friday, Oct. 23.

The hunters are planning to load the game on Thursday, Oct. 29 and head home. They’re looking to return Saturday in the p.m. after completing the 1,900-mile, two-and-a-half day trip back with the meat.

Going on the hunt this year are Bill Nixon, Brian Gregory, Cory Fridley, John Agee for the first time, Ralph Lineweaver, Ray Avery IV, Scott Thorpe, and Elwood Yates, Jr., who is organizing the hunt and has been going for 28 years.

On loading day, the hunters remembered former Powhatan Sheriff Shirley Reynolds, who passed away on April 2 of this year at the age of 92. Sheriff Reynolds began the longtime hunting tradition in 1965. last year when he got serious about running.

Along with their teammates, Powers and Goodrich have been able to train with Powhatan cross country coach Paul Smartschan for 90-plus minutes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the high school. They’ll work on a various aspects like hills and speed – things they would’ve still tackled at this point of the year even without the impact of COVID, although now, the sessions account for social distancing and COVID-related precautions, Powers pointed out.

“He definitely knows what he’s doing,” Goodrich said of Smartschan.

“Last year he improved some of my times by 30 seconds in one season.”

“He helps us get our mileage in so that we can be ready for the season,” Powers said. “It’s been really helpful because it gives me more motivation to run outside of practice as well.”

Powers will go on runs around his neighborhood, and Goodrich will usually try to run on the roads around her house; some days she’ll go on longtempo runs, some days she’ll do crosstraining in her house, and then her driveway has a really big hill, so she’ll do a little bit of hill work there.

To still be able to do what they would’ve done their freshman year even if the COVID-19 pandemic had not occurred – partake in cross country training at the high school, compete in meets – it means a lot, Goodrich said.

“Since everything is so different right now – school and just daily life in general – running and going to cross country is like the one thing in my life that’s stayed pretty normal,” Goodrich said. “It’s just the one thing that’s kind of kept me sane and I look forward to it.

“I think that running is one of the things that’s keeping me sane through all this,” Powers added.

“I can go to cross country and feel like things are normal again,” Goodrich said, “and it’s nice, and I love that Smartschan is comfortable enough to do that for us.”

Her goals include making sure that she keeps having fun with cross country.

“I love it,” she said, “and I don’t ever want to lose this.”

Willett trouncing Lucy Crichton.

Shenk routed Gabby Strickler 10-1, Dillard bounced back to defeat Perrin Gilman 10-4, Ottley blanked Emma Smith 10-0 and Eldridge dominated against Clare Murphy 10-0.

In Collegiate’s five exhibition matches against Trinity, McKenna Boardman blanked Brynn Giuerette 8-0, Malone Morchower routed Kate Hurtbert 8-0, Kylee Sanderson trounced Meredith McCray 8-0, Lucy Barnes defeated Emily Krickus 8-2 and Ann Carter Arendale won against Sonnie Kayer, 8-2.

“They have a very successful PreLaw major with many off- and oncampus internship opportunities,” Barton said. “Everything lined up perfectly, from academics to athletic aspects of attending my dream school.”

Come the 2021-22 school year, Barton, a senior at Powhatan High School, will realize her dream of attending R-MC. She’s also embracing the opportunity to play for the school’s highly successful Div. III softball team.

“Being committed is a huge accomplishment in my mind because I have finally reached my goal,” Barton said.

“I have been working hard toward this for a long time, and it feels good to have made it this far.

“I feel like all my hard work has paid off, and that’s something I’m proud of,” she said. “I’m super excited to play in college and can’t wait to continue working hard and getting better.”

Barton will join a powerhouse program that in 2019 went 30-17 and secured its first berth in the NCAA Championship series after beating Christopher Newport in the super regional. R-MC’s coaches, she said, put each of the girls first.

“Head coach Kevin Proffitt and I have been talking since my freshman year of high school and he has been nothing but understanding and helpful throughout my commitment process,” Barton said. “Assistant coach Bailey has helped me with the mental and physical aspects of softball. He has always put the girls first and will give his all to bettering the team.”

Barton has also been receiving lessons from assistant coach Amanda Sopko since freshman year.

“She has improved my hitting and slapping skills more than I could’ve ever imagined,” Barton said, “and Coach [Dana] Wood knows exactly what I’m doing wrong and how to fix it.

“Both the coaches and players at R-MC dedicate their time every day to bettering themselves and each other,” Barton said. “That is a team I would love to be a part of.”

When it came to meeting the players, Barton said her favorite part was that “they truly understand how to talk to us because they have been through it. They answered all our questions and told us exactly what it would be like to play DIII softball.”

Barton feels that Randolph-Macon is the best fit for her because she’s never wanted to attend a large school – she feels she learns better in smaller classes with smaller teacher-to-student ratios.

“All the professors at RandolphMacon have an open-door policy, meaning we can meet with them oneon-one whenever we need to discuss homework or difficult topics.”

She loves the campus, describing it as “beautiful,” and with the school being centered in Ashland, it’s only 45 minutes from her house.

She wants to major in Pre-Law and pursue a career as an IP attorney or family lawyer. After college, she plans on attending a law school like the University of Richmond or William and Mary to further her knowledge and pursue an internship.

When it comes to R-MC’s softball program, she feels that her speed will help the team physically, and her attitude will help mentally.

“I’m a slapper (slap hitter), so my speed on the bases is where I contribute,” Barton said. “My positivity on and off the field will encourage girls to have fun and do what they love.”

As part of Powhatan softball’s varsity unit, Barton pitched in some games her sophomore season, has experience at several infield positions and will be counted on to anchor the infield for the Indians this coming spring.

Learn about Powhatan High School senior Kayla Davis’ commitment to attend and play softball for Randolph-Macon College in the Oct. 28, 2020, print edition of the Powhatan Today!

In 2019, she batted .343 and had a fielding average of .980 (1 error in 50 attempts) while helping a young Powhatan softball team go 15-6 and reach the regional semifinals after it lost seven starters following its state runner-up season in 2018.

Powhatan head softball coach Marie Crump praised Barton’s good speed on the bases and described how the senior has “really developed her defensive skills the last few years.”

“Her versatility is a real plus,” Crump said.

One of Barton’s current teammates, Kayla Davis, is set to join her on Randolph-Macon’s softball team next year.

“I am thrilled to have Kayla remain a teammate throughout my college experience. She pushes me to do my best and is always focused on improving herself and others,” Barton said. “Kayla is not only a solid player but also one of the smartest girls I know.

“If I ever need help with homework I know I can go to Kayla,” Barton added. “This will be an especially important quality to have in a teammate at Randolph-Macon because it is a DIII school focused on mainly academic excellence.”

Barton has been playing softball since she was 5 years old. She first got into it through her older sister, whose games she would watch while growing up.

“My dad would always play with me and my sister in the yard and I had so much fun,” Barton said. “My family has always been competitive, and playing with my sister only made the game more competitive.”

In addition to her speed, Barton’s competitive attitude has contributed to her successes.

“I have been raised and coached to have a ‘never quit’ mentality, and that has made me a go-getter,” Barton said.

“If I see an opportunity, I take it, and that’s the mentality you have to have to be successful in softball.”

Her favorite part of softball would be the qualities she’s picked up throughout her years of playing.

“I have met so many amazing girls who have bettered me as a player,” Barton said. “To be successful in softball, you have to be individually focused, but also a team player.

“Finding a balance between those two qualities has made me a better person all-around.”

Some of the major achievements Barton has been a part of throughout her softball career include going to nationals with her travel team, the Hanover Hornets 18u Keys, for the last three years in a row, as well as going to multiple camps, which helped her to put herself out there for coaches to see her play.

To Barton, being part of Powhatan softball has probably influenced her the most to continue softball throughout college.

“It taught me that, even though some days might be rough, that I could get through it and become a better player,” Barton said. “Coach Crump has bettered me as a player more than I could ever imagine. She pushes us hard each day to help us remain focused and reach our goals.

“Coach [Linda] Farmer always knows what to say to inspire us to play our best,” Barton said. “Coach [Sami Byerly], who is a former player, works with me individually to better my slapping ability and mental approach.

“I could not have gotten where I am today without being a part of Powhatan softball.”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING POWHATAN COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION Notice is hereby given, pursuant to § 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, that the Planning Commission of Powhatan County will conduct a public hearing on Wednesday, November 4, 2020, at 6:00 PM in the Powhatan County Village Building Auditorium, 3910 Old Buckingham Road, to consider the following requests: Review of Agricultural and Forestal Districts (AFDs): All Agricultural and Forestal Districts (AFDs) were originally scheduled to expire on April 12, 2020, with the Board of Supervisors temporarily extending these districts through December 31, 2020 (Resolution #R-2020-05). The Board of Supervisors is reviewing these districts, and the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors as to whether the AFD Program should continue as-is (for another ten years), should be discontinued/terminated, or if an in-depth review should be conducted.

At its meeting on October 5, 2020, the Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee (AFDAC) recommended that the AFD Program continue. Land may be withdrawn from a district at the owner’s discretion by filing a written notice with the local governing body at any time before it acts to continue, modify or terminate the district.

Case #20-03-AZ: The County of Powhatan requests the amendment of provisions set forth in several sections of Chapter 68 (Subdivision Ordinance) and Chapter 83 (Zoning Ordinance) to reduce the required holding period before creating a family division lot from ten years to five years; clarify that only adults may receive a family division lot; clarify standards regarding access; and increase the minimum size of the residual parcel remaining after a family division.

Case #20-05-AZ: The County of Powhatan requests the amendment of provisions set forth in several sections of Chapter 83 (Zoning Ordinance) to change the Courthouse Square Center (CHSC) zoning district from a Transition Base District to a Village Growth Area Base District; and to add uses to the list of permitted and conditional uses within the CHSC zoning district.

Case #20-03-REZC: The County of Powhatan requests the rezoning of Tax Map Parcels #26B2-3-8B and #26B2-3-10 from General Commercial (C) to Courthouse Square Center (CHSC) and amendment of the zoning district map of approximately 0.61 acres of land with frontage on the west side of State Route 13 (Old Buckingham Road) at its intersection with State Route 1001 (Marion Harland Lane), including 3867 and 3871 Old Buckingham Road.
