POWHATAN – Sheila Hayes has an address. The address doesn’t have a house located there yet but that will be here soon enough – hopefully by March 2021. In the meantime, Hayes got the thrill of a lifetime on Nov. 24 at the groundbreaking ceremony held on the site of her future home on Old Tavern Road. Come the spring, Hayes will be the owner of the 15th house built by Habitat for Humanity – Powhatan. Having the start of that see HABITAT, pg. 3

POWHATAN – Two local churches worked to keep the human touch in Thanksgiving for local people with special meals prepared for the holiday. While renewed social distancing guidelines kept the special events planned by Passion Community Church and Unity Community Church from being the true fellowship experiences they were created to be, organizers said they were still grateful for the people they were able to touch with the homemade meals. Both churches were originally planning full community meals, but Governor Ralph Northam’s executive order pulling back social gatherings to no more than 10 people caused organizers to make some last-minute changes. Passion Community Church held an entirely drive-through event at the church with people stopping by to say how see THANKSGIVING, pg. 8

POWHATAN – Powhatan County students of all ages are expected to have more flexibility when it comes to testing in the spring because of waivers and emergency guidance approved by the state. The recently-announced new measures mean that elementary and middle school students this spring will likely be taking more local assessments instead of Standards of Learning tests in history and social science and English writing, according to a release from the Virginia Department of Education. Additionally, school divisions have been given greater flexibility in awarding credits toward graduation for high school seniors. The waivers and emergency guidance were approved on Nov. 19 by Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane, the state Board of Education, and Secretary of Education Atif Qarni. The goal was to reduce the need for in-person testing this year as schools contend with the coronavirus pandemic. “The waivers and emergency guidance will simplify the logistics of SOL testing this year and ensure that COVID-19 pandemic does not unduly prevent any student from earning a diploma,” Lane said. “The board of education and I are also creating opportunities for school divisions to create multiple pathways for students to demonstrate content mastery while prioritizing health and safety. This includes expanding the use of performance assessments that encourage deeper learning and assess the acquisition by students of the skills and attributes we call the Five C’s: critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration and citizenship.” Dr. Eric Jones, PCPS superintendent, said he was still waiting on more
specific information from the state, but he already knows the school division will be taking advantage of this move to benefit Powhatan students. The move aligns with the school division’s philosophy and strategic plan in terms of providing authentic assessments for Powhatan students, so administrators and staff are happy to be able to take advantage of the opportunity to “not do an external assessment that may or may not accurately reflect where our students are.” “For us, it aligns well with what we are doing to assess students in a more authentic manner. It also allows our teachers, who know our students best, to accurately assess their progress throughout the year, which is something in Powhatan we believe in – that the professionals who work with students on a daily basis should be in charge of that process,” Jones said. He added that Powhatan may not be as impacted as some school divisions because it had already been investing heavily ion performance-based assessments. The waivers became effective following review and approval by Qarni. “These waivers provide relief and agility to students and educators who are managing a lot of personal and professional pressure during this tumultuous time,” Qarni said. “Innovation is necessary to keep Virginia students learning safely this academic year, and we will continue working to create new pathways for student and educator success as they adapt to changing circumstances and forms of instruction.” During the Nov. 19 board of education meeting, Lane noted that it is unlikely that the U.S. Department of Education will waive federal rules that require annual testing in reading and mathematics see SOL, pg. 4

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 804556-4936.

Contributed Report Organizers of the annual MLK Youth Day Community Breakfast have announced that they sadly decided to cancel the event that would have been taking place on Jan. 18, 2021, but they are committed to keeping the scholarship program. While they are disappointed, organizers said they care about the safety and wellbeing of the Powhatan community. Though COVID-19 has put a damper on social gatherings, they want to continue to move forward with positive actions that will have tangible effects. In keeping with one of the main purposes of the MLK Youth Day Community Breakfast and the importance to educate and to be educated, despite COVID-19, organizers will continue their quest to raise funds, which enables them to give scholarships each year to deserving high school seniors who wish to further their education. In an effort to raise funds to award scholarships for 2021 high school graduates, they are preparing a special “Tenth-Year Celebration,” full-color souvenir “Journal Ad” booklet that will capture the spirit of this special day. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary, it is their goal to raise $10,000, which would allow them to give a $1,000 scholarship to 10 students. People are invited to extend their written special congratulatory acknowledgements by placing an advertisement in this booklet such as: A recognition of youth groups; Recognize a former recipient awarded a previous MLK scholarship; Feature an individual that you believe best exemplifies Dr. King’s life and legacy; Place a congratulatory ad in support a local student’s achievement; Honor an organization/individual promoting “MLK Year of Service; or Place a memorial ad honoring a loved one. The community is asked to invest in the lives of local youth. Instructions and forms for placing an ad are enclosed. Mail all ads, no later than Dec. 15, 2020, to: Little Zion Baptist Church, 5680 Cartersville Road Powhatan, VA 23139, Attention: 2021 MLK Youth Day Breakfast Committee, or email your ad to: 1953ladyoftheyear@gmail.com.

I am so thankful. We’ve got Thanksgiving right here. It is a blessing,” said Hayes, who works for SET Cleaning in Powhatan. For her daughter’s sake, Hayes said she is just happy Shannon, who has a learning disability and still lives with her, will have a space of her own. The young woman will be able to play music and dance in her own space and play with her new puppy, Teddy Bear. Shannon is also already planning the pink touches that will make the room extra special for her, including pink curtains and a pink bed spread. “She knows it is her room. She knows it is our house. I have been telling her we are going to have a house. She has to help build it. She says, ‘I can’t build.’ I said, ‘You can take them water,’ ” Hayes said with a laugh. Hayes has two other grown daughters and a 14-month-old granddaughter she is looking forward to have visit as well, so she is happy she will have the space for visitors in the planned three-bedroom home. Hayes admitted that 2020 has been an incredibly difficult year. Her brother-in-law, foster father, and foster mother all died within months of each other, leaving their family devastated and Hayes reeling. She was living with her parents in Powhatan when they died but is staying with her sister in Varina now until the house is built. Her family members
Shannon would have their own home soon. A special groundbreaking ceremony was held at the site of Hayes’ future home on Nov. 24 and was attended by 25 people, including Hayes’ family members, Habitat board members, county administrator Ned Smither, supervisor Bill Cox, and some of the contractors that will be partnering with Habitat. Executive director Susan Winiecki was thrilled to see the start of the first house being built since she stepped into her new position this summer. This house and Habitat’s 16th house will both be built on land purchased by the nonprofit. When talking about Hayes being the family selection committee’s choice for the next build, Winiecki said they were touched by her story but the future homeowner also impressed the members with how driven she was to make her dream of being a homeowner a reality. “It has been a pleasure as an executive director now getting to meet Sheila and her family and being on the other side of a build. I am excited to go through this process with Sheila,” Winiecki said. She pointed out that Hayes, who applied to the program in January and found out she was chosen in July, has already been hard at work on the requirements of every Habi-

er preparation class. She got everything in line so she could become a homeowner through Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan,” Winiecki said. Hayes qualified for a mortgage through Habitat and is expected to put in 200 hours of sweat equity with the nonprofit, either on the build site or in one of its programs, Winiecki said. Hayes said she has felt more empowered and proud of herself going through this process and fully embracing all of the responsibility it will bring to take on the mortgage and take care of her home. For Habitat, the upcoming build is also exciting because of a new partnership with Clay Street Builders, which is lending its expertise as the build supervisors, Winiecki said. The company, which brought with it several new partnerships with other regional businesses, will be operating under very different circumstances than previous builds because of COVID-19, including crews being limited to six people along with two build supervisors.

does have flexibility in the administration of SOL tests in history and social science and English writing that are not federally mandated. Citing his authority under Governor Ralph Northam’s Executive Order 51, Lane issued an emergency waiver allowing school divisions this year to replace the Virginia Studies, Civics and Economics, and Grade-8 Writing SOL tests with local assessments, providing that they follow emergency guidance approved by the board of education and report student performance data to the state. The SOL tests will continue to be available for school divisions that choose to administer them. In addition, the board of education approved emergency guidance granting school divisions additional flexibility in the awarding of verified credits and reducing the need for students to return to school buildings to retake end-of-course SOL assessments. Under the guidance, school divisions may award a verified credit for a course taken in fall 2020
Powhatan distillery wins gold medals for whiskey and rum in competitions The Powhatan County Economic Development Department recently announced Three Crosses Distilling Company’s latest wins from The Craft Competition International Awards and The US Open Spirits Championship.

This is the third and fourth international awards won by the distillery since opening the
if the student achieves a score of at least 350 on the test and meets local criteria for course achievement. “The emergency guidance approved (Nov. 19) is in keeping with the commitment the board of education made during the beginning of the pandemic in March to do everything possible to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on students and schools,� Board of Education President Daniel Gecker said. The change means a great deal less stress for Powhatan teachers and students in a year that is already far from ordinary, Jones said. “It will allow our teachers to focus on teaching our students and assessing our students without the stress of an external assessment. The same is true of many of our students that will be relieved by this, especially our high school students that need these credits for graduation,� he said. Lane exercised emergency authority granted by the 2020 General Assembly to waive a requirement that high school students attempt to pass an
business in August 2018. The distillery also has won nearly two dozen awards from the various national and international competitions across their product line, including awards from the Great American Spirits Competition, New York International Spirits Competition, American Distilling Institute, Virginia Bourbon Invitational, Sunset International Spirits Competition, Virginia Living’s Best of Virginia and World Whiskey Awards. These numerous awards have made the new distillery one of the most accomplished new craft distilleries in Virginia. The family and veteran owned distillery is run by wife and husband duo Michelle and John Davenport in the heart of the Powhatan Village.
end-of-course SOL test in history before becoming eligible to earn a locally awarded verified credit. The waiver allows school divisions to verify achievement in high school history courses during 20202021 with locally developed performance assessments. Students in divisions that are unable to offer local performance assessments in history and social science this year are still required to attempt an SOL end-of-course assessment at least once and achieve a score of at least 350 to become eligible for a locally awarded verified credit. Lane also waived a cap on the number of locally awarded verified credits a school division may issue during the course of a year. Jones said he saw the move to help graduating seniors as a “common sense and humane approach� to aiding students who have already faced so much disruption in their last year in high school. “We are trying to fill in the gaps and we are trying to make sure that they are prepared for graduation and not having to add on

the stress of passing an SOL test that would bar them from graduation. I think that’s a great step and one that recognizes a lot of the trauma that a lot of our seniors have endured over the last several months,� Jones said. While the state will likely waive accreditation for this year because of the pandemic, Jones said his staff is continuing to monitor and assess student progress through benchmark and classroom assessments. Staff is looking at that information on a weekly and monthly basis to keep track of how students are doing and intervene if needed. Included in the larger picture is the breakdown of populations identified by the state such as minority students, those with a disability, and those who speak English as a second language. “That process will continue. The SOLs are just one statewide measure of that. Certainly in Powhatan we do that regularly and will continue to do it this year,� he said.

the men and women whose actions in the minutes that followed helped ensure he had a chance at survival. “You guys have touched my life and my family in phenomenal ways… From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys so much; I really greatly appreciate it,” Stan, 59, of Powhatan said with a quaver in his voice. Stan had the opportunity to thank the firefighter/paramedics, sheriff’s deputies, 911 operators, and passers-by when a short special recognition was held in their honor at last week’s board of supervisors meeting. He and his wife, Tammy, had pushed to make the recognition happen because they were so eager to offer their thanks. When they started that effort, they had no idea how many people had been involved in rendering aid that day. Since Stan was in the hospital and then inpatient rehabilitation for 40 days after the incident, they knew the countless doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and others who had worked so hard to save Stan’s life. But seeing the list of names of their helpers in Powhatan before he even reached the hospital, the couple was overwhelmed. The Edwardes had also met on Nov. 22 with some of the paramedics who responded to the scene to talk about that day and what happened. Stan can’t remember the event or the weeks in the hospital that followed, and he said talking about the experience with the people who saved his life is also helping him get a little closure on the traumatic event. But as he did throughout the interview, Stan emphasized the recognition was not about him – it was about highlighting how members of this “village”

of the people who responded that day remarked on how hot it was – so hot that Ashley and Annie both got blisters on their legs while doing CPR and Stan has second degree burns on the backs of his legs from where he was laying on the hot asphalt. The 11 minutes that passed between the initial 911 call and the first unit of fire-
The first wave Stan doesn’t remember much about the week leading up to that fateful ride on Aug. 9, and some of it he will never know. But through the memories of those who helped him, a timeline emerges. For all intents and purposes, Stan was in excellent health before his cardiac arrest. The financial analyst with Crane Masters has completed 25 marathons and five ironman triathalon competitions. He is a vegetarian. The day of the incident, he was training for more upcoming competitions. “I thought (my health) was excellent. … I thought I lived a healthy lifestyle. I still do in that respect,” he said. Stan and Tammy, who have been married since June 2019, had only moved to Powhatan 10 days prior with three of their combined four children – Zac Edwards, 25, Logan Edwards, 21, and Logan Parham, 21. Tammy’s daughter Caty Grace, also 21, is away at school. It had been grueling moving in and getting the house ready, and the temperatures were in the high 90s that day. But Stan likes training in the heat of the day because it is good for conditioning. The day before, he had ridden 22 miles without incident. The morning of Aug. 9, the couple had breakfast together and Tammy went to Doswell to pick up a porch swing while Stan was going on another ride to further explore Powhatan. Chris Myers of Amelia was one of the first people to see Stan collapse on his bike at the corners of Rocky Ford and Genito roads, at the entrance to Appomattox Trace, which is about 7 miles from his home. Chris was driving

home from his daughter’s first riding lesson when he saw Stan collapse and pulled over to help. He was the first one to call 911 at 2:11 p.m. Ashley Hancock of Amelia drove by right after. She and her 2-year-old son Easton were driving home from her parents’ house when she saw what was happening and stopped. She grabbed her son out of his car seat and ran over to help. A woman on-scene had a pocket mask, and Ashley, who has been certified in CPR since she was 16, used it to start CPR on Stan, who was lying on the asphalt, at 2:13 p.m. She remembers praying that someone else experienced in CPR would come and help. Bob LaRue of North Chesterfield was out for a ride in the countryside on his motorcycle when he saw Stan collapsed on the road. Bob helped do chest compressions, which he had learned 40 years earlier during military service. Annie Edwards of Powhatan was at her home
in the Appomattox Trace subdivision bdivision working on a going away party for her college-bound daughter when a few guests called to say they couldn’t get into the neighborhood because of the chaos at the entrance. Annie, who is a member of the critical care transport team for Bon Secours, rushed to the scene to see if she could help. “I became alarmed and I knew in my gut, just that intuition, that something was very wrong. So I had my other daughter drive me down to the end of the road, and when I arrived, Ashley was performing CPR on him,” Annie said. Stan’s skin was turning a blue tint and he was still unresponsive when Annie arrived and began helping with CPR at about 2:19 p.m. Ashley continued with “superior compressions” while Annie said she started breathing measures. Nearby, other bystanders were praying for Stan and urging him to breathe. All this was going on under extreme circumstances with the heat. All

The second wave Firefighter/EMTs Nate Jones and Charlie Holland were the initial first responders dispatched to the scene. The call they received was for a person on ceiv a bicycle falling over, but Charlie said he knew from the descripttion they received enroute that it would e likely be a cardiac arl rest. re He was right; the call did di get upgraded. Because ca a cardiac arrest is a much mu more intensive call, the emergency communications center, where discat patchers Tony Knapke, pat Dawn Da Granger, and Mary Franklin were on-duty, Fra ended up dispatching end Medic Me 721, EMS 702, and Battalion Chief 709. In addition to Charlie and Nate, firefighters Bob Haggerty and Bill Donati Jr. were dispatched to the scene. Also responding to assist were District Chief Ryan Burke, firefighter Taylor Goodman, and Medic 711, staffed by Jamie Babcock and Sunny Lee. Powhatan Sheriff’s Sgt. Michael Boggs and deputy Giulia Levenduski assisted as well. Normally, when Charlie and Nate arrive at this kind of scene, they would have immediately started transport measures and continued resuscitation efforts en route to the hospital. But COVID-19 has led to new restrictions, so they started efforts to stabilize him at the scene. The paramedics defibrillated Stan three times, administered all of the epinephrine they had as well as amiodarone, and continued to perform CPR, Nate said. The third time they defibrillated see SAVED, pg. 7

And of course, when you are in a situation like that you have no idea of what time it is, how time is progressing. Of course to us it felt like forever before EMS arrived, and I am sure their response time was wonderful. But I had no resources, I had no equipment, so I was getting a little antsy waiting for the next level. So when they got out, I told them he was definitely ready for a shock,” she said.

Cumberland County Cumberland sees 74.15 percent voter turnout By Laura McFarland Editor
C
UMBERLAND – Cumberland County saw a 74.15 percent voter turnout for the 2020 General Election with almost half of residents who voted making their voices heard via in-person early voting or a mail-in ballot. The county saw 5,337 votes cast in the 2020 election out of 7,198 total registered voters, according to the Virginia Department of Elections website. Of those who cast their ballots, 2,832 voters (53.06 percent) chose to vote in person on election day, while 2,492 people (46.69 percent) voted either by mail or early voting. Sonya Gray, deputy registrar, said that early voting at the voter registrar’s office had been steady since early voting began in September. Because the office is small, voter registrar Marlene Watson organized a pager system that allowed people to wait outside or in their cars until it was clear for them to come in and vote. “It was great for bad weather or if someone couldn’t stand,” Gray said. Early voting was popular among Cumberland voters, she added. There “were people waiting every morning when we got here.” While the number of voters at the polls on Election Day was decidedly smaller, poll workers still saw steady lines all day. Michelle Belle, chief election officer of Precinct 3, had 309 voters by 3:32 p.m. and would see 89 people come in over the remaining hours of the day. A large portion of those voters came in the early morning, with 166 ballots cast by 10:15 a.m., she said. “Personally I was shocked. We thought so many people early voted that there wouldn’t be a rush,” she said. Other than a few busy spots, Belle said the day was pleasant overall with no issues with voters or the campaigners standing outside. “I think people are so glad to be able to come out,” Belle said on Election Day. “Everybody has been happy and jovial, and I have been, too. I think people are just happy to be able to come out.” Adolphus Allen of Cumberland said he always planned to vote on Election Day, trusting that would be the easiest and safest way to proceed. He said he got in quickly and found the whole process easy. The 2020 Presidential Election felt much more controversial and messy than other elections, but Allen said he felt better after he cast his vote and the end seemed more in sight. Ray Morris of Cumberland thought about early voting but wanted to do it on the last day to make sure he knew it counted. He had been certain for a while that he would vote straight Republican and was hoping things would go that way.
Like Allen, Morris said the voting process at Precinct 3 on Election Day was smooth and easy with no problems. Over at Precinct 201, election officials had helped 465 voters cast their ballot by 4:36 p.m. and would help another 105 people by the time polls closed. Chief election officer Judy Wooten said workers had seen steady numbers all day with people coming in waves and then a break in the action. In previous years by that time they would have likely seen more than double the amount of people come through to vote in person, but early voting took a great deal of the pressure off of the day. “It has been very smooth today with no real incidents,” she said on Election Day. The lower numbers were especially a benefit with the extra steps poll workers had to follow to maintain COVID-19 guidelines. Plexiglass barriers were set up at the stations where voters checked in. After they finished voting, poll workers would go behind them and wipe down the station. Wooten added that the extra safety precautions didn’t slow down the voting process. First-time voter Kayla Sutherland of Cumberland was excited to cast a ballot in her first election and eager to vote for the candidate she felt was best for her family’s future. She felt more comfortable voting on Election Day than voting early and said she was pleased with the process. Trey Witherow of Cumberland saw the 2020 Election as a big turning point for the country, especially in the area of Second Amendment rights, which is why he voted to re-elect President Donald Trump. Witherow said he always intended to cast his ballot on Election Day rather than early voting and that he likes the traditional feel of coming in person to vote. He was let off of work a little early and headed straight to the polls, where everything ran smoothly, allowing him to finish voting in minutes. “I felt very safe and I thought it was quick, easy, and painless. There wasn’t a line at all for me. I thought it was very streamlined and I was happy with the way it went,” he added.
Results In the local election, 3,019 voters (56.85 percent) choose Republican Donald J. Trump over Joseph R. Biden, who received 2,227 votes (41.94 percent) and Jo Jorgensen 53 votes (1 percent). There were also 11 write-in votes. In the U.S. Senate race, republican Daniel Gade received 2,947 votes (55.95 percent) while democrat Mark Warner received 2,317 votes (43.99 percent). There were also three write-in votes. Cumberland’s results closely mirrored the final statewide totals, which saw Warner receiving 55.99 percent of the votes over Gade’s 43.91 percent.

In the House of Representatives District 5 seat, republican Robert Good received 2,932 votes (56.09 percent) while democrat B. Cameron Webb earned 2,286 votes (43.73 percent). There were also nine write-in votes. In the overall race, Good had a slightly narrower victory, winning with 52.44 percent of the vote against Webb, who garnered 47.3 percent. In the school board race for the open seat, Leigh McCrea won as a write-in candidate. Virginians were also asked to vote on two constitutional amendments.

islative districts, 3,463 voters (70.43 percent) said yes while 1,454 voters (29.57 percent) said no in Cumberland. Statewide, the amendment had a clear majority with 65.69 percent of voters saying yes to the amendment and 34.31 percent saying no. The second amendment on the ballot about making vehicles of disabled veterans free of state and local taxes received overwhelming support in Cumberland, with 4,413 voters (87.91 percent) saying yes and 607 voters (12.09 percent) saying no. These weren’t far off the statewide results, where 85.99 percent voted for the amendment and 14.01 percent voted against it.
Each month, staff members are recognized at the Cumberland County Public School Board. The following teachers were presented to Board members at the Nov. 5 meeting: Susan Carden, from top left, Cumberland Elementary School office secretary; Sharmechia Liggon, Cumberland Middle School special educator, and Karl Westerhoff, Cumberland High School math teacher.

The joy of saving a life is its own reward By Laura McFarland Editor

t takes a village. I lost count of the number of times I heard this phrase over a period of a few days right before Thanksgiving. What amazed me was that every time it was said it was done with the utmost sincerity. It all started with Powhatan Fire and Rescue Chief Phil Warner letting me know about a special recognition his department was organizing at the request of a local family. Stan and Tammy Edwards were desperate to show their immeasurable gratitude to the many men and women whose quick thinking and selfless work are part of the reason Stan is still alive today. When Stan unexpectedly collapsed from a cardiac arrest on Aug. 9 on a rural road in Powhatan, the circumstances all too easily could have meant the end for him. It could’ve been, but it wasn’t, and that is due partly to a large group of people, many of whom live or regularly travel through Powhatan. If you haven’t already, I recommend reading the story on page 1A about the set of events that followed Stan’s collapse. It is an amazing story to share, from the very first person who saw Stan collapse and immediately called 911 to two women with medical knowledge, including a critical care nurse, arriving shortly thereafter and beginning CPR to the paramedics who arrived on scene and took over and managed to revive him. And, although they may not necessarily be from Powhatan, there were the countless number of doctors, nurses, and

more who treated Stan over the next 40 days and fought tooth and nail to keep him alive. The people who were there to render the right kind of aid every step of the way to get to that point where Stan was resuscitated and could be transported to the hospital is astounding. The Edwards family believes it was divine intervention for the right people with the right skills to be there at the right time. Listening to their story, and being a believer myself, I could definitely see how God had his hand on the situation. But even if you don’t believe there was a higher power involved, you only have to look at the situation to see how much goodness was demonstrated by everyone involved on that scorching August day – including the 911 operators, bystanders, paramedics, and sheriff’s deputies who directed traffic to keep the scene safe. But you know what impressed me the most? It is that every person I interviewed about their efforts to help save Stan’s life mentioned either their relief or excitement over knowing that he is alive and well. Because of laws protecting people’s medical information, people couldn’t just find out how he was if they didn’t already know him. Annie Edwards, a critical care nurse who gave Stan CPR, said she thought about the man whose name she didn’t know every day on her drive home. When the fire and rescue department reached out to her about the recognition, she was excited to meet Stan again in highly better circumstances. When the department called and told her that “he was alive, that he had lived, I just wanted to celebrate. I just wanted to celebrate his life and him, that he has as second chance at life.” Ashley Hancock of Amelia, who also performed

CPR, said she never knew what happened to Stan, “so when everybody reached out to me, I was so happy to hear that he was OK.” Chris Myers of Amelia, who was the first one to call 911, was with his young daughter in the car when he saw Stan collapsed. After they left the scene that day, they didn’t know what happened to him, so Chris was happy to show her photos and let her see he was alive and well. Bob LaRue of North Chesterfield remembered working hard to do chest compressions on Stan to get his blood moving. He went the last few months after this dramatic event not knowing if it had done any good, so to hear Stan was alive and wanted to meet everyone was so uplifting. “I didn’t know what his condition was or how he was doing – that was the toughest thing. So meeting him was pretty amazing to me. I am still feeling it,” LaRue said. In a conversation they had on Nov. 22 with Stan and Tammy, the paramedics also mentioned how often they don’t know the outcome of the stories that start when they respond to a call. So when the couple kept insisting they want to do something to show their appreciation, more than once I heard the first responders reply “this is enough.” I can understand that, for Stan, Tammy and their family members, no amount of thank yous or demonstrations of appreciation could ever be enough to truly thank the people who helped saved Stan’s life. But, according to the people who helped do the saving, Stan already paid them back just by being OK. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Stan, his heart was beating more steadily and he was ready for transport. Charlie commended the job that Ashley and Annie did performing CPR on Stan and the impact their efforts had on improving his prognosis. Fire and rescue responds to cardiac arrests fairly regularly, and the outcomes are rarely as good as in cases when a bystander is there to start CPR right away. Even if they can get the heart started again, brain function is affected if they are down too long without oxygen, he said. “If we don’t have bystander CPR before we get there, we are way behind the eight ball. Our job is totally different,” Charlie said. Nationwide, less than 12 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims survive the event, but this number can be tripled by the delivery of bystander CPR, Taylor Goodman said at the board meeting recognition. “Mr. Edwards’ survival was thanks to fast bystander CPR and immediately calling 911 to start the EMS response. It truly takes a village for the chain of survival to begin, and we’re proud to recognize those who were an integral part of this lifesaving event,” he said.
Road to recovery While a cardiac arrest could have ended Stan’s life on Aug. 9, it wasn’t the only hurdle he would face in the weeks that followed in his road to recovery. Stan was initially taken to St. Francis but was then transported to St. Mary’s Hospital, where he spent the next 33 days, Tammy said. Stan was alive but unresponsive, so the hospital used “code ice,” a therapeutic hypothermia that involves lowering the body temperature for 24 hours and then slowly rewarming him. Stan developed pneumonia twice, the second of which was caused by a rare and difficult-to-treat bacteria called stenotrophomonas that waits for the body’s immune system to be compromised and then attacks. Stan’s condition continued to decline, he was in a medically-induced coma, bat-
tling a high fever, and his lungs continued to fill with fluid, which had him on the highest ventilator settings, Tammy said. He also had multiple organ failure, was temporarily put on dialysis, and lost 30 pounds. Doctors decided to try a method called “proning,” which has been used successfully on some COVID-19 patients. This involved turning Stan on his stomach for 16 hours and then turning him on his back for eight hours. Stan’s body finally began to respond to treatment, and he woke up on Aug. 27, his wife said. But he wasn’t talking, and it wasn’t until a few days later that he began to recognize family members. “I thought it was going to be that Hallmark moment when he saw me and said, ‘Oh baby, there you are,’ but it was not that way. It took some time. They had to get the sedation and paralytics out of his system,” Tammy said. Stan started doing physical therapy and seemed to be improving physically but still didn’t seem like himself. That came back much slower. His son Zac said the moment he really felt his dad was back was Sept. 8, when Stan joked that he was going to get a roadkill tattoo. Stan continued to improve rapidly, racing through what was supposed to be three weeks of inpatient rehabilitation in eight days and finally going home 40 days after his cardiac arrest. Stan is still receiving wound care for his second degree burns on the back of his calves and will hopefully be healed by January, Tammy said. The progress he has made in the weeks since he came home has been amazing. He is back to work and considered normal by everyone else’s standards. He is walking 6 miles a day, doing yard work, playing golf with his sons, going on short hikes, and has gained back 17 pounds of the 30 pounds he lost in the hospital. “He is not back to his standard where he is running 10 miles or biking 40 miles, but he is on his way. He is doing amazing,” she said. Stan added that his goal is to run the Richmond Marathon next year with his son, Zac, and hopefully do an ironman in 2022, provided his cardiologist releases him.

THANKSGIVING Continued from pg. 1
many meals they needed, said Melinda Kinney, a volunteer who has coordinated the event for the last five years. She oversaw about 20 volunteers working three different stations – cooking, packaging, and the drivethrough – who prepared and served about 70 meals. Kinney said she was inspired to create the event because she knew a woman whose children were out of town and there was no one else for her to share the holiday with that year, Believing there must be others in the same situation, the church started the meal as a community event to give those people a place to come. As a drive-through event, the fellowship part of the community event was limited, which was disappointing, she said. But “it is like everything else in 2020, you just roll with it,” she added. Volunteers made packaged meals with all the fixings – turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green beans, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and rolls – that were taken to the cars as they came through, Kinney said. People who came through the line seemed happy and responsive, wheth-
er they were picking up meals for their family or to take to others in the community, she said. One man picked up meals to take to six local seniors who couldn’t get out. “I just want people to know that even in the midst of everything going on with COIVID Powhatan is still a small community. We want people to know we are still here to be there for each other, love on each other, and take care of each other,” she said. While Unity Community Church’s second annual Unity Around the Table event didn’t quite get to live up to its name, the Rev. Cavell Phillips was very happy with how the modified event went. He had about 12 volunteers who served 130 meals on Thanksgiving day at the Powhatan Rescue Squad Building. All of the meals were packaged to go, and about 80 percent of them were either picked up or delivered to people, he said. However, they had an outdoor space where a handful of people could sit and eat who were comfortable with doing so, and he was happy to have that offering as well. People had the option of a few meats and sides such as macaroni and cheese, dressing, salad greens, string beans, and homemade rolls and des-
serts. They were prepared by several volunteers who knew they could follow all of the necessary safety guidelines, he said. At the first event in 2019, the community meal saw more than 80 people sharing food, music, and games because it has always been more about serving the lonely than the needy, Cavell said. “It was disappointing that we could not do that, but what was more important was people’s safety – our safety and their safety, too. We could not put this over and above doing things that needed to be done to squash the coronavirus,” he said. Even with the changes to the event, it still served the purpose of showing the community love and kindness, which is the whole point, Cavell said. “In our church we are getting ready to go into our third year in January. That is what we are focusing on – that the members would see themselves as God’s hands and feet in the world. How else does God get things to us other than through somebody else? He blesses us through other people. It doesn’t fall out of the sky,” he said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

The season started with the hopes that the Virginia Cross Association league would be able to operate during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and that Powhatan Fury’s U14 girls team would have the competition to play. It was quickly learned, however, that this would
not be the case, forcing Powhatan to create coed teams that could find games with teams from some of the neighboring counties that had similar challenges. Powhatan’s U14 and U16 age groups had to be combined in order to field a team for the season, and the All Girls Cross U14/U16 recreation team – led by

New plan has future Class 4, Region B down to 17 schools By Tim Pearrell Richmond Times-Dispatch Class 4, Region B apparently won’t be quite as big for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. The region, which currently includes Powhatan High School along with schools in the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Charlottesville areas, was going to swell to 20 schools under the Virginia High School League’s fu-
ture alignment plan. But a new plan worked out by a group of principals and members of the VHSL executive committee has Louisa, Orange County and Western Albemarle moving to Class 4, Region D instead, said Bill Swink, chairman of Region 4B and the activities director at Spotsylvania High School. That will reduce Region B to 17 schools, although there’s still an imbalance across the classification. Region D,
which is spread from Lynchburg to Halifax to the southwest part of the state, will go from eight to 11 schools. Region A (Williamsburg area to Chesapeake) will have 13 schools. Region C, in the northwestern part of the state, will have 16. The plan still needs to be approved by the VHSL’s executive committee. Adjustments to the VHSL’s current four-year classification plan created an overcrowded region. After two years — in 2021-22 — schools can move up
or down in one of the six classifications (Class 6 is for the highest enrollments) as enrollments change. Each class is divided into four regions. Area schools Atlee, Henrico, Matoaca and Varina saw enrollments decrease enough that they got approval from the league in late July to drop from Class 5 to Class 4. They’re scheduled to join Dinwiddie, George Wythe, Hanover, Huguenot, Mechanicsville, Monacan, Patrick Henry and Powhatan in 4B.

Powhatan Fury FC U13/U14 earns finalist honors Contributed Reports As coach of Powhatan Fury FC’s U13/14 girls travel team, which features players from both Powhatan and Goochland, Andrew Kaiser saw all of the girls’ training and hard work come to fruition during the Capital Fall Classic Girls Weekend, when they earned tournament finalist honors. Powhatan’s tournament performance was impressive considering the team was formed by combining two teams. The team members were born in 2007-2008, and for nearly twothirds of the team, this season was the first time they had played 11-on-11 soccer. Playing in the 2007/U14 age group, the girls played older and physically larger teams in most of their games during the regular season and tournament. Additionally, the team does not have a player who specializes in goalkeeping, so field players Emily Gibbs, Annabel Yates and Ellie Lowery took turns playing in goal. But despite many of the team members playing a year up, Kaiser said they were still competitive. “During the tournament I saw the team apply concepts and principles we had worked on all season long,” Kaiser said. “It was a joy to work with the team this season; however, finishing

the season as finalists was definitely a bonus.” During Saturday group play, the team tied with Culpeper SC Comets 2007 1-1 and defeated VYSA 07 Premier Royal 3-1 to finish in first place in Group A. In Sunday’s semifinals, the team defeated SOCA Cville 07 Classic 2-1, then played to a 0-0 halftime score against VYSA in the final before eventually losing 5-0. Team members are Addison Benge, Addison Wallace, Annabel Yates, Cadence Walton, Ella Chewning, Ellie Lowery, Emily Gibbs, Emmy Bruce,
Lindsey Burnet, Meredith Eastwood, Savannah Forkey, Sydney McCracken, Valentina Shultz, Ginny Hayden and Yerilynn Ramirez. “Not enough can be said towards the desire I saw from every player to succeed and perform to the best of their abilities,” Kaiser said. “By the end of the tournament I think the team as a whole was able to reflect and think about how much they’ve improved and learned from the beginning of the season.” Their result as finalists in the tournament, Kaiser said, could not have been achieved without the commit-
ment and support of the parents, the club and team manager Cheri Burnet. “I am so proud of these girls. They have worked hard and really come together as a team,” Burnet said. “They had some tough games during the regular season and it would have been easy to become frustrated, but they remained positive and supportive of each other. “They really get along and their friendship is a special part of the team,” Burnet said. “It was fantastic to see their hard work pay off in the tournament.”

just know one another, but also care for each other at a different level. Together, they navigated the ups and downs of scheduling and canceling games as the ongoing pandemic riddled the season. They really didn’t know what to expect at the tournament as they hadn’t really had a chance to play together, Golden said, but they were all excited that, at least, they’d have four games to play against other girls teams. “The girls performed well above any expectations I had from our limited practices.” Powhatan won three games and ended its last contest in a draw to win the championship in the Girls U14 Premier Black division during the Strikers Capital Fall Classic’s Recreation Weekend. Players on this year’s U14/U16 All Girls Cross Association team are Blake Badgett, Raegan Carter, Kalie Cregg, Amelia Cress, Lena
Dent, Kaileigh Field, Lillian Golden, Courtney Greenhow, Lilyana Hamilton, Madalyn Ickes, Hannah Lewallen, Madilynn Lewallen, Cameron Quinn, Carter Quinn, Kaitlyn Rissmeyer, Kayla Scioscia, Jordan Stierle, Allison Taylor, Kathryn Toman and Autumn Walton. After each game, Golden would ask the girls what they saw someone else do well in the game. Examples of hustle, passing, toughness and encouragement echoed from the players as they reflected not only on the progress they had made, but also on the collective way in which they conducted themselves as a team. “To see the joy on their faces after the tournament reminded me what a great game soccer can be,” Golden said, “especially when the pandemic stresses us to find community where we can support, train and compete in ways that bring out the best of us.”
head coach Jeffrey Golden and featuring a wide age range of players from 11 to 16 years old – was only able to play one all-girls team from Mechanicsville prior to entering the Capital Fall Classic Recreation weekend tournament. Powhatan beat that team. “The girls came together with a positive spirit, and with a willingness to work hard in the limited amount of time we had to practice and develop positional awareness,” Golden said. “Many of our players had limited or no experience playing soccer while others had been a part of the Powhatan Fury recreational program for most of their life.” As a result, it became important for some of the more experienced players to not only help teach some of the younger and less experienced players, but also provide them with the right encouragement and motivation so that everyone could stay united as they played. One of the players, Lillian Golden, had the idea to start a secret sister program early in the season. In the program, players were secretly assigned another teammate to whom they would provide notes of encouragement, candy or small tokens of support as a means of fostering camaraderie.

Notice is hereby given that the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors will conduct public hearings on Monday,December14,2020at6:30PM in the Powhatan County Village Building Auditorium (3910 Old Buckingham Road) regarding the following matters. Ordinance #O-2020-19 (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; remove provisions that currently allow a family division lot to be granted to a spouse; clarify standards regarding access; and increase the minimum size of the residual parcel remaining after a family division. Ordinance #O-2020-20 [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). Based on recommendations provided by the Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee (AFDAC) and Planning Commission, the Board of Supervisors will decide 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. 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. Members of the public may also participate remotely by joining a webinar at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83998792911 or by dialing in by phone at 1-929-205-6099 OR 1-312-626-6799, then typing in the webinar ID 839 979 2911. During the public comment period, participants may raise their hand using the zoom controls on the computer screen, or (if dialing in) by pressing *9 on a phone. The meeting may be watched live by visiting http://powhatanva. gov/432/Live-Stream-of-Powhatan-County-Meetings. Public comments may also be submitted to administration@ powhatanva.gov or by leaving a voicemail at (804) 598-5612. Any comments received prior to 5:00 PM of the date of the public hearing will be recorded in the meeting minutes.
