County continues vaccinating employees School division closes for a day to allow 163 staff members to receive shot By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – Powhatan County local government took another step forward in administering the COVID-19 vaccine to its workforce last week with the county’s sixth clinic, bringing its total number to 644 shots distributed since Dec. 29. County staff, working with Emergency Services Solutions (ESS), held a clinic on Tuesday, Feb. 2 at the Pocahontas Landmark Center gym that served 200 people, including 163 Powhatan County Public Schools employees, with the first dose of the Moderna vaccine, said Curt Nellis, emergency management coordinator. Nellis was more optimistic last week about potential prog-

ress with the vaccinations than even a few weeks earlier, when canceled shipments of the shots
and shortages led to canceling previously scheduled clinics or significantly reducing the num-
ber of people who could be served. Nellis said he is now expecting a steadier schedule of 200 vaccines a week, which is not ideal but is still better than the uncertainty he was experiencing before when planning clinics. “They have guaranteed me 200 a week and I can do good things with 200 a week. If I could get 300, I could even do more,” Nellis said. “So, I think I am optimistic that the flow of vaccine is going to improve now that everybody has been beating their drums and holding their breath. … Once that flow opens up that we keep hearing about, we should be able to do great things.” Every clinic also sees organizers fine tuning the process so that, if they eventually are able to open them to the public, the
process will go much smoother, he added. Nellis kicked off his efforts in January to assist the Chesterfield Health District, which includes Powhatan County, in its responsibilities of distributing the vaccines, starting with essential county employees. He organized five of the six vaccination clinics held in the county and was scheduled to hold another on Tuesday, Feb. 9, barring any unforeseen circumstances, with almost half of them getting a second dose. Nellis is currently scheduling clinics aimed at first responders and county employees; they are not open to the general public. The public is urged to sign up through the Virginia Department of Health. As of Feb. 2, the people who see COUNTY, pg. 6

Proposed mixed used development in Village area to be reviewed
DELIVER TO: Postal Patron Powhatan, VA 23139
By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Planning Commission got its first look last week at a mixed use development with retail and multi-unit residential dwellings being proposed for the Village area. During the planning commission’s meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 2, the members heard an informal overview of a rezoning request for a mixed use development in the 4000 block of Old Buckingham Road. The request is to rezone 9.757 acres from Agricultural-10 (A-10) to Village Center Planned Development. The project, called the Depot at Fighting Creek, would include 10 triplex rental units and approximately 26,000 square feet of commercial/retail space in the Courthouse Village area. The property where the project is proposed is in an uninhabited tract of wooded land roughly halfway between Powhatan Elementary School and the joint trans-
portation facility. Developers Michael Potter and Rick Smith gave the presentation to solicit initial feedback from planning commission members. No official action was taken at the Feb. 2 meeting. Though the official date has not been set yet, the project could have its formal presentation and public hearing as early as the planning commission’s March 2 meeting, which will be at 6 p.m. in the Village Building. Potter’s presentation focused a great deal on what the mixed used development could bring to the Village area as well as promoting what is already there. Although the property is located along Old Buckingham Road, it would be visible from Anderson Highway and act as a “billboard” for what the courthouse area has to offer, he said. “I think more people are staying at home that now telecommute. We like to think we are breaking the trend of ‘going to town.’ Hopefully it will be see PLANNING, pg. 8

By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – Several local businesses have been bringing some extra warmth to the cold winter months for their customers thanks to winterization grants awarded by the county. Last fall, Powhatan County sought to ease the hurting experienced by local businesses because of the COVID-19 pandemic by dedicating $517,404 of its federal CARES Act funding to grants for local small businesses, said Roxanne Salerno, economic development program manager. Initially, the county awarded $373,771 worth of general business assistance grants to 33 local businesses in two rounds of funding. But when they didn’t have enough qualified applicants to award all of the grant money in those first two rounds, county staff decided to get a little creative for the third round, Salerno said. They came up with the idea for the Winterization Grant program, which was aimed at eating and drinking establishments, she said. The goal was to help businesses increase their customer capacity throughout the winter with new or improved outdoor modifications. “We don’t have a huge restaurant base in Powhatan, and it would
be really awful in the winter time when they are struggling to not offer something to help them pivot what they need to do to get people through the winter with the restrictions,” Salerno said. In total, the county awarded six winterization grants totaling $54,583 of the federal CARES Act funds, she said. The businesses that were awarded grants were allowed to spend the funds on a wide variety of outdoor equipment such as heaters and fire pits,seating, and tents, Salerno said. “Because we don’t have a huge selection in Powhatan, hopefully those businesses that utilized (the grant) and needed it can actually continue throughout the winter and keep those employees going, keep the revenue coming in,” she said. For Smok-N-Pigz, owner Kyle Crowder is hoping a tent with picnic table seating and heaters he purchased with a winterization grant will draw more customers in to sit and enjoy their food. When the pandemic hit, Crowder’s restaurant was massively impacted. Catering special events, which made up about half of his business, dropped off by roughly 80% in 2020 as people were warned to social distance, he said. The inside dining space is so small that it wasn’t logical to have people eat in see GRANTS, pg. 5

Fortune Auto North America to expand in Powhatan County Contributed Report Governor Ralph Northam recently announced that Fortune Auto North America, a U.S.-based manufacturer of high-performance racing suspension systems for Japanese and European vehicles, will invest $250,000 to expand its operation located at 1495 Oakbridge Terrace in Powhatan County. The company will add new equipment to meet increased demand and create 10 new jobs, doubling its workforce. “Fortune Auto North America designs and manufactures a highly specialized product for a growing international market from its sole U.S. location in Powhatan County,” Northam said. “This expansion demonstrates the success that businesses of all sizes can achieve in Virginia. We are proud that the Commonwealth can provide the skilled workforce to meet the company’s needs, and stand ready to support Fortune Auto’s future growth.” Fortune Auto North America designs, engineers, manufactures, and assembles high-performance racing suspension systems for Japanese and European vehicles. Founded in 2011 with its only location in Powhatan, Fortune Auto is one of the few U.S.-based suspension manufacturers that engineers, assembles, inspects, and ser-
vices shocks. With a focus on research and development, the company specializes in producing suspension systems that prioritize comfort, reliability, and performance. “Fortune Auto North America’s decision to reinvest in its manufacturing operation and double its workforce affirms a strong commitment to Powhatan County and the Commonwealth,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Brian Ball. “It is a priority to continue to support the advanced manufacturing industry and the workforce that helps it thrive, and we thank Fortune Auto for its commitment to Virginia.” The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with Powhatan County to secure the project for Virginia and will support Fortune Auto North America’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP), which provides consultative services and funding to companies creating new jobs in order to support employee recruitment and training activities. As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state-funded, demonstrating Vir-
ginia’s commitment to enhancing job opportunities for citizens. Fortune Auto has participated in several VEDP International Trade programs and utilized market research services, and is currently participating in the Trade Show Program. “Fortune Auto selected Virginia because of its strong economic growth, stable business climate, favorable tax rates, and wonderful assistance from VEDP and the Powhatan County Economic Development,” said Terry Awad, managing director of Fortune Auto North America. “Both of these key teams have helped our company source funds for manufacturing equipment and secure international clientele through case studies and funds to attend international trade shows. This has been a welcomed long-term growth strategy for Fortune Auto North America, and we look forward to continuous growth in the great Commonwealth of Virginia.” “Fortune Auto North America is a valuable Powhatan business that has experienced tremendous growth and success in its time here,” said Roxanne Salerno, economic development program manager with the Powhatan County Economic Development. “The niche business
is comprised of an innovative workforce that has created a desirable product line that is fast becoming an internationally known brand. We are pleased to assist the company in its next steps as an expanding international company in Powhatan.” “I am so delighted that Fortune Auto North America will continue to expand its operations in Powhatan County by adding new equipment and doubling its workforce,” said Senator Ghazala F. Hashmi. “This expansion signals confidence in the county as a business-friendly community that has the ability to attract and retain skilled workers, especially in the areas of design, engineering, and technical assembly. The continued partnership with Fortune Auto North America is an important one for the Commonwealth and for Central Virginia.” “There is a talented pool of skilled men and women in Powhatan and the Southside who will jump at the chance to work for a unique business that already is flourishing here,” said Delegate Lee Ware. “My best wishes to company officials and employees, and my tip-of-the-hat to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership for advocating so helpfully on the many benefits of expanding in Powhatan.”

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 see CALENDAR, pg. 8

on comprehensive plan Contributed Report In late 2020, the Powhatan County Planning Commission (at the direction of the board of the supervisors) began reviewing the 2019 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan and updating its content, including the Future Land Use Map. This map designates areas where growth should be directed and specifies what uses may be appropriate in different parts of Powhatan County. Recommended land uses shown on this map are considered when evaluating development proposals, such as rezoning requests. A draft of the Future Land Use Map and associated text have been posted online for public comment. To review the draft documents and provide comments regarding the 2021 Comprehensive Plan Update, visit http://powhatanva.gov/268/ Community-Development.
County staff is asking members of the public to review the document and submit feedback by Monday, Feb. 15 that can be shared with the planning commission. The deadline allows staff to compile the comments, analyze them, and transmit them to the planning commission prior to its meeting in March (so that they can discuss by members then). There will be future opportunities for feedback, as both the planning commission and board of supervisors will have to hold public hearings. An online comment form can be found at http://powhatanva.gov/FormCenter/ Community-Development-11/Public-Input-2021-Comprehensive-Plan-Upd-76.

Free Clinic advises wearing a mask after vaccination By Barbara Brown
Special to the Powhatan Today
On Feb. 2, Powhatan held its sixth COVID immunization clinic. The clinics have not been open to the general public, but they have allowed emergency management staff and volunteers to become a well-oiled machine for delivering shots to the arms of those who qualify to get the injection. The whole process takes less than 30 minutes. Hats off to our Emergency Response Team for making them happen. Once the vaccine is received, a person likely has two questions: “How soon am I immune to COVID-19?” and “ How soon can I ditch the mask?” Sadly, immunization does not confer immediate immunity. It takes time for our immune systems to respond. It appears that the Moderna vaccine can fend off symptoms as early as two weeks after the first dose in 80% of those receiving the vaccine. Those individuals experienced a milder form of COVID-19. Both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines confer immunity 30 days after the second dose. It’s predict-
ed that immunity lasts a year, however, researchers are still studying that question. There is no final word on whether yearly vaccination will be needed as is the case with the influenza vaccine. As more people become vaccinated, fewer folks end up in the hospital or morgue. That’s one goal of vaccination. What is not known is if the vaccines prevent transmission of the disease. The virus can reside in nasal passages, even in inoculated persons. Wearing a mask keeps the virus from finding a place to grow and be passed to someone else. The virus stays among us until enough people are vaccinated to provide herd immunity. For this reason, masks are still needed after vaccination. How long they are needed depends on the rate of vaccinating the country, including children. Given the limits on available doses, we will likely be wearing masks come summer. Eliminating the virus and stopping transmission would be welcome consequences of vaccinating the entire population. Will it happen? There simply isn't enough evidence that the vaccines will do this, at least not yet.

there. So, for many months, carryout orders are what has kept the restaurant going. When Crowder heard about the winterization grant, he saw it as an opportunity to create extra space for his customers that can likely be used all year for outdoor seating. While it doesn’t come close to making up for all of the lost revenue caused by the pandemic, it does offer customers a place to sit and enjoy their meal. “A lot of locals that eat lunch on their lunchbreak like to just sit and eat versus doing takeout,” Crowder said. “When it is really cold, people don’t sit out there. But on the nicer days, people do sit out there.” Like Smok-N-Pigz, Fine Creek Brewing Company closed its taproom in spring 2020 and focused its efforts on to-go orders of its products. As restrictions eased in summer 2020 and the weather became nicer, the brewery reopened its extensive outdoor seating area, which was popular with both returning and new customers, co-founder Mark Benusa said. But heading into the winter, the business didn’t want to be forced to reopen its indoor seating area to keep customers

coming in, he said. Hearing about the winterization grants, he realized taking that opportunity to apply for those funds would allow for more flexibility in following the desired path for the business. Instead of a tent, Fine Creek used the grant to purchase a variety of heaters and fire pits that could be used with the porch and pavilion areas and the other seating around the lawn. Staff discussed purchasing a tent, but decided not to enclose any areas, instead capitalizing on nicer days. “The last month or so, we have had some cold Saturdays and we will still ended up with a pretty decent amount of people coming through. It is because we are able to advertise about the heaters and the fire pits,” Benusa said, adding purchasing that amount of cold weather gear was only possible because of the grant.

Throughout the last few months, the heating equipment has featured heavily in photos used for social media posts. But while they stress the warmth factor, Benusa said he is fully aware there will be days when it is simply too cold for even the heaters or fire pits to be completely effective, he added. “Just in general, if we didn’t have as much heaters and fire puts as we have now, people would not be as inclined to come or stick around as long when they did come,” he said. Jason Miller, co-owner/brewer of Crazy Rooster Brewing Company, was thrilled when he learned the business had received a winterization grant. Because of its age and the fact it didn’t operate in 2019, the Crazy Rooster wasn’t eligible for the business assistance grants the county offered in the first two rounds and Mary Purser, Georgia Rambo, Marley Rasmussen, Christian Rich, Tyler Richardson, Kaylee Riley, Hannah Ritchie, Kyle Rowe, Genesis Ruiz-Maeda, Maciah Sanske, Brett Schott, Cody Seibel, Valentina Shultz, Sally Smartschan, Maddox Smith, Caroline Speight, Evalynn Stone, Jack Sullivan, Austin Sweet, Abigail Tate, Madison Taylor, William Timberlake, Steven Tinsley, Lyla Tronge, Karly Vaughn, Brielle Walters, Samuel Weaver, Nathan Weyer, Collin Wood, Ella Yarhouse, Jah'nie Youmans-Jackson, Farrah Zaki.

many other forms of aid, he said. “It was frustrating because we were struggling just like everybody else, and those monies really would have come in handy for us,” he said. The fledgling brewery did qualify for the winterization grant, which didn’t have a restriction based on time in business, and the funds would allow them to better outfit the patio for additional space, he said. The business used the grant to purchase tents, tables, and heaters to winterize and make better use of its patio in the colder months. “Once we get into the colder months and people are less likely to want to sit outdoors, that would give us the opportunity to not only utilize our indoor area but the outdoor area as well,” Miller said. “And for those customers who still do now feel comfortable coming inside, hopefully they would feel comfortable taking advantage of the heated outdoor areas through the winter time.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

math) activities seemed like it might not be an option during the unconventional 2020-2021 school year, said Barbara Adcock, instructional STEM coach. And in the traditional sense, it wasn’t possible. The usual order of having an entire grade level participating in activities that necessitated large gatherings of students wasn’t possible when social distancing is the order of the day. But the school division’s STEM team came together to create special STEM Days, which is seeing the coaches visiting individual first- and second-grade classes for all-day events dedicated to science investigations and hands-on engineering challenges. “The kids are enjoying it and that hands-on is so meaningful and important in how kids learn. We learn by doing. COVID has taken some of that away from us. And this is our way of making it happen again,” Adcock said. First and second grade both

have a huge focus on foundational skills, Adcock said. Students had so much of their spring 2020 semester disrupted because of the onset of the pandemic, so the decision was made to focus content at the beginning of this school year on language arts and math and put more emphasis on science and social studies in the second semester. This opened up the opportunity to bring back the reimagined STEM Days, which started in January and will stretch through March, Adcock said. The process includes STEM Days at all three elementary schools and a week entirely dedicated to virtual students, with individual packets being sent home so they can do the experiments. The process is taking much longer than previous years and thus has to be focused on the two grade levels because every class gets its own full day of activities. “The reason it takes a full day for each class is they can’t share materials. We are still covering the same topics we did last year, but we are changing it so each child has all the materials a small group would last

year. In order to meet the safety protocols, we have to have two class sets for all materials,” she said. Adcock said that preparing full-day individual experiment packets for hundreds of first and second-graders is a time consuming and labor intensive process. But at the same time, figuring out how to create these STEM Days and have them be meaningful to the students has made them better teachers. The focus of the STEM Days for the students is on two very different kinds of waves – sound waves (and their relationship to the topic of motion) for the first-graders and ocean waves (weathering and erosion) for the second-graders, said Lisa Brown, instructional STEM coach. As in the past, the morning is focused on understanding the basics of the concepts they are studying. For instance, the firstgraders are learning about how sound waves are transmitted – through air, water, and a solid – and talk about their relationship to vibration, Brown said. “Then we talked about being an engineer. Engineers always
we would have been able to cover them all with substitutes. Especially when you add on the higher number of staff that is out on quarantine or regular illnesses, we just wouldn’t have been able to staff our schools,” he said. “But when we had the opportunity to get that many people vaccinated in one day, we felt that it was worth it for everybody to do that.” The school division is encouraging staff to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but it is currently voluntary because it is under emergency approval by the FDA, Jones said. As of last week, he knew of about 35 employees who have said they are going to opt out and about 70 employees who are waiting to either get more information or see how the first rounds of vaccines play out. Jones said Nellis has been wonderful to work with and praised his efforts to include school staff in the vaccine efforts, but the process still has been frustrating, he admitted. “I am a little frustrated that the response from the federal government and the state government is not enough. I am frustrated that priority hasn’t been given to schools that are working with large numbers of students in buildings versus those that are almost all virtual,” Jones said. “I feel for our staff that are on the front lines every day and are having to wait. I think we should be prioritizing all of our essential employees – fire, rescue, police, hospital workers – and teachers should be in there. “While I think Powhat-
solve problems. For the firstgraders, their problem was based on motion,” she said. “Their teacher could through a snowball farther than they could. They had to create a mechanism to throw farther than their teacher.” The students spend the afternoon doing design work and creating a catapult that launches a marshmallow, she said. They then measure the distance the objects are thrown. The second-graders spend their morning studying the effects of weathering and erosion and do experiments to understand how those forces work on objects. They learn how different forces affect objects, such as a sugar cube in a container of gravel being shaken around (weathering) or a demonstration of how a piece of chalk is impacted when put in a container of water versus vinegar (models acid rain). In the afternoon, the students have to build a beach scene and use different materials in their scene that would help stop or slow the process of erosion, Adcock said. “In all of their boxes at least
some of the beach is there, which means they are successful; they slowed the erosion. Then they talk about ways they would do it differently and how they could improve their solution,” she said. “It is really neat to see how throughout the day they gain this understanding and see the importance of stopping erosion.” Helping the students to make those connections to real world situations and problems is one of the best things to observe, Adcock said. But she also is just happy to be working with the children bringing science alive for them. “It felt great to see the kids again. We have been doing some virtual teaching – both virtual and face-to-face teachers have asked us to pop in on their Google Meets and do lessons. Since labs are closed this year, it is not the same, so it is nice to have that interaction,” she said. Brown added that they were almost “giddy in the first week to be in with the kids again. That is why we do what we do.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

an County has done a wonderful job and has been organized and supportive, we are hamstrung by how many doses we get from the state and it is frustrating,” he said. As of Feb. 4, the Virginia Department of Health had reported 1,366 cases of COVID-19, 39 hospitalizations, and seven deaths. As countywide COVID numbers have risen, and by extension the number of cases and quarantining in the schools, so have the stress levels of division staff, Jones said. “We have even discussed closing down a school or two or moving back to hybrid because of the high number of staff that are out on quarantine and students out on quarantine and the higher number of cases. Anything we can do to provide some protection for our employees and for our students secondhand we are really excited about,” he said of his relief associated with employees be-
ing vaccinated. Sada Hill, PCPS food services compliance officer, had no hesitation about getting the first dose of the vaccine at the Feb. 2 clinic. She has needed to be tested for COVID twice, and both came up negative. Hill regularly visits the schools for observations and said she has been comfortable interacting with others but still has concerns, mainly related to not wanting to be a risk for her 88-year-old mother, who was actually vaccinated at another clinic later that day. Stephanie Wirt, a Powhatan High School art teacher, received her first vaccine dose on Feb. 2 with great relief. She started the school year with a certain amount of fear because they didn’t know what to expect, but many of those fears have been allayed by the schools’ efforts, she said. Still, teaching art to hybrid and virtual students is a strain at times, and she
misses the full interaction of working with them in a normal year. She sees the vaccine as getting the nation and the Powhatan community one step closer to that feeling of normalcy. “I feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I wish I didn’t have to wait a month (for the second dose) but I feel like I am one step closer to being safer,” she said. Christian Miller, a PHS Spanish teacher, said he was highly motivated to get the first dose of the vaccine to protect his older relatives, including his mom. He has hated the separation and precautions that have limited his interaction with them, even though they were all to keep them safe, but feels they are important because of how many people he comes into contact with at school. “Knowing in the future I can go over to my mom’s house and not keep 6 feet of distance, that for me is it. I just want to be able to have all the relationships and knowing I am doing my part to keep them safe,” he said. While he did look into some of the science surrounding the vaccine, Miller said what most put him at ease was knowing several friends in the medical field who were vaccinated safely and being able to talk to them about their experiences. “It has been really informative having friends that have already taken it. That was, for me, probably the most valuable information rather than hearing about it on the news,” he said.

Local nonprofits innovate to keep helping By Laura McFarland Editor

reativity and innovation can be a wonder to watch. About this time last year, I was starting to take a serious look at my calendar, which in many ways often matched up with the Community Calendar you can see featured on page 2A. I am not saying that I go to every event on the calendar; it’s just that I naturally gravitate toward community events that draw large crowds as part of my coverage of Powhatan County. Spring is usually one of the best times for that since Powhatan has a great lineup of festivals and community events in a normal year. But since the last 11 months have been anything but normal, that obviously hasn’t been the case. Still, some of the most amazing things that come out of adverse situations are how people respond and create positive outcomes. The number of ways this has happened in the last year would be too many to list, but they have happened in all walks of life. But what got me thinking about this subject recently have been efforts by local nonprofits that have acknowledged the limitations COVID-19 placed upon them and worked around them. It started back in January with what should have been the 10th annual MLK Jr. Youth Day Community Breakfast, a fabulous local event that features food, entertainment, and inspiration. In the last several years I have attended, hundreds of members of the community came out to break bread together and celebrate Powhatan youth
through mentorships, scholarships, and their performances at the actual event. Like many events in the last 11 months, that had to go by the wayside. But rather than simply bowing out and skipping a year, organizers decided that if this event is really about the youth, that is what they would celebrate. They funneled all proceeds from the sale of a special 10year edition journal booklet into scholarships for 10 local youth and held a virtual awards ceremony to honor them. Organizers innovated in a great way that provided new opportunities and put that bridge there to keep the community event going so it can hopefully come back stronger than ever in 2022. Another innovation by local nonprofits is actually still going on right now. Each year around Valentine’s Day, a Valentine Gala is held that raises thousands of dollars for two fantastic local nonprofit organizations: the Free Clinic of Powhatan and Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan. Again, squeezing a few hundred people into a limited space, no matter how beautifully decorated, would be a poor idea right now. But these nonprofits, which serve some of Powhatan’s most vulnerable residents, aren’t taking a year off from helping people, so fundraising is important. In answer to that problem, the nonprofits innovated this year by holding a two-week celebration fundraiser that runs through Sunday, Feb. 14. They put together a great video highlighting the purposes of both nonprofits that you can watch on www.valentinegala.org, www. habitatpowhatan.org, www.freeclinicofpowhatan.org and on the Facebook pages of both nonprofits. They partnered with local businesses to hold fundraising events
with the proceeds going to the nonprofits. Lastly, they asked people to still purchase tickets, but instead of going to a gala, you are purchasing tickets to a grand prize raffle with some pretty nice prizes. That drawing will be held at 3 p.m. on Feb. 14, so there is still time to purchase tickets. I also should give an individual shout-out to Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan, which took a different spin on a traditional fundraiser in December with the Home Fore the Holidays golf tournament at Independence Golf Couse. The nonprofit asked people to participate in the tournament by tracking their scores in an app, which allowed for social distancing and raising money for a good cause at the same time. I don’t know what the year ahead will bring, but I know that Powhatan’s nonprofits are still hard at work all over the county trying to make life happier, safer, and healthier for local residents in need. Another year of canceling some of their biggest fundraisers might make it hard for them to keep carrying out their missions, so many will likely try to find creative ways to regain community awareness and support or simply put calls out into the community. As that happens, we will do our best to help them get the word out to people. But you don’t have to wait for some big announcement. If you thought a nonprofit was worthy of a donation two years ago, it likely still is. Now may be a good time to reach out to some of those organizations and see if they have needs, whether it is for donations or volunteers. Don’t underestimate the difference you can make in the lives of your neighbors here in Powhatan by reaching out and offering a helping hand.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Options are still available to join fight against landfill Dear Editor, The proposed 1,200-acre mega landfill in Cumberland County, Virginia is not a done deal – far from it. This major project requires 3 permit approvals by the Department of Environmental Control (DEQ) – solid waste, water, and air. Water permit approval is by the Army Corps of Engineers and VDOT approval since they are looking at re-routing Pine Grove Road. Green Ridge Recycling and their affiliates report the Notice of Intent (part of the solid waste permit) is approved by DEQ, which is not a true statement. DEQ did send a letter to Green Ridge on December 11, 2020. If you closely read the verbiage in the letter it states, “the Notice of Intent and the Part A application appears to be administratively complete…” This is not a final approval but rather a step in the process which allows the DEQ to begin the technical review of the Notice of Intent and Part A application. Here are a few facts to remember: Cumberland County Board of Supervisors approved the Host Agreement on August 2, 2018, after a whirlwind approval process taking less than 35 days. Green Ridge did not submit the Notice of Intent and Part A application until January 20, 2020. DEQ had to request additional information from Green Ridge more than two times before they gave the approval addressed. Next required steps on the Solid Waste Management Permit Part A are: (1) Completion of technical review; (2) public hearings by DEQ on the Notice of Intent and Part A application; and (3) correction of identified weaknesses by Green Ridge. DON’T GIVE UP! This is the best advice I can give to the citizens of Cumberland, Powhatan and surrounding counties concerning the proposed mega landfill in Cumberland County. Citizens of the Commonwealth, this is not a local issue for Cumberland and Powhatan counties, but a statewide issue. Do we need more trash industry in our state where we are already known as the “Trash State”? Do we need an industry that is going to cause harm to our residents such as is occurring in Charles City, Petersburg, and along the Dan River? Do we need an industry that endangers our wetlands, ground and surface water, and wildlife? Do we need an industry in Virginia that has a service area of 500 aerial miles? And most importantly, would you want this proposed mega landfill in your backyard? What you can do: The 2021 General Assembly is in
session. Contact your delegates, senators and members of the Senate Agriculture Committee and ask them to support legislation supporting our environment SB1319, SB1200, and SB 1186. We have only one environment and it is our duty and responsibility to protect it. This proposed landfill’s effects will be felt from our small county to many areas across the Commonwealth. Now is not the time to sit back and say it is a “done deal” but to get on the band wagon and fight. There is strength in unity – help protect our environment!!!! Betty Myers Cumberland County
Dressing project up won’t change the harm it will do Dear Editor, Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal is getting closer to state approval of a mega-landfill in Cumberland County and is trying hard to put a favorable spin on the project through a series of press releases in local newspapers. But the age-old question, “What do you have after you’ve perfumed a pig,” is a valid question in this case. The answer is, of course, “a pig.” Looking at the Green Ridge project from 30,000 feet what do you see? A multinational company (Green Ridge) approaches a small rural community and offers them a pot of gold to pay off debts and fix stuff that resulted from poor county management. WOW, money just fell into the bank, what a gift. In exchange, the multinational company is allowed to buy a large plot of pristine land (1,200 acres) to build a dump, offer a few homeowners money for their homes and to keep their mouths shut, which they gladly accept. Then the multinational company gets an OK from the state and they dig a big hole 35 feet deep where they spread some clay material, pipes and a 1/16-inch rubber-like material (thickness of a pool liner) and starts to fill the hole with the waste from households 500 miles away. Filling the hole is accomplished by half-a-thousand trucks a day delivering the waste throughout the night on rural country roads, where noise, air, light and water pollution create problems for thousands of residents for miles around. Local hunting of deer, rabbit and squirrel no longer exists and vermin like sea gulls and rodents feed on the abundant leftovers of our once good life. This process continues for thirty years or possibly longer if the additional portion of purchased land is pressed into ser-

vice. Then what started as a 35-foot hole is now a 200to 300-foot mountain of trash that is covered with some man-made material and ultimately with dirt. The mountain remains for a thousand years, the contaminants in the mountain leaches into soil for millennia and the multinational company moves on to offer a pot of gold to another money-hungry, unsuspecting, poorly managed county. For this we are supposed to be grateful! At this point it might be suggested that Green Ridge stop shining a light on itself and pontificating at the gifts being bestowed on the county and stop trying to put a positive spin on a very unwanted, unneeded, and unhealthy business as it isn’t helping their cause.

Promised income from Host Agreement is insignificant Dear Editor, The taxpayers of Cumberland County believe they have hit the lottery mega jackpot and their county budget woes are over. In exchange for hosting a 5,000-ton-per-day Mega Landfill that will soon be rising above the local landscape to the stars above, an armored car full of Benjamins from Green Ridge (up to $2,700,000 per year) will show up monthly at the Cumberland County Seat of Government to plug budget holes. All of this is spelled out in a legal Host Agreement between Cumberland County and Green Ridge. The former Cumberland Board of Supervisors did a poor job of negotiating the Host Agreement and in my opinion it is written in favor of Green Ridge. My opinion is supported by the excellent Host Agreement negotiated between Waste Management Inc. and Amelia County for the Maplewood Landfill. The $2,700,000 per year is actually a substantial underpayment when compared to Amelia’s Agreement. Soooo.....where does that leave Cumberland County? The folks that run Green Ridge are very shrewd and accomplished businessmen who employ clever financial and legal experts. They will interpret the legally binding, poorly negotiated Host Agreement to their financial benefit. At the end of the day Cumberland County will see a far cry from $2,700,000 per year.

now we are ‘going to the Village.’ Hopefully we will be able to fill the need of a lot of things people would go to town for,” Potter said. The plans for the Depot at Fighting Creek features three one-story retail buildings near the frontage road along Old Buckingham Road. It also has 10 triplexes, which each two-story unit having its own entrance. As the plans stand now, the project would include two parking lots divided by an internal road. In the western parking lot would likely be a hardware store, outdoor space for the store’s seasonal displays, and a retention pond. The other parking lot would have two retail spaces along the frontage road and the residential units behind that. Currently, Potter is expecting one of the retail spaces to have a boutique market, but the other does not yet have a concrete expected use. The presentation included a general layout of the property and preliminary exterior renderings of the retail spaces and residential units but no specifics about the layouts. Potter explained that the residential units would

The right-in only entrance could be an issue in upcoming discussions with the planning commission and board of supervisors.

intention to have the second entrance is for easier and safer access for larger delivery vehicles. However, the current proposed distance between the main entrance and the second entrance would be 235 feet, which is significantly less than the minimum access management spacing requirements of 440 feet. To promote the walkability of the project, Potter said a trail around the property is planned and the developers would be willing to extend the sidewalks along the internal road as a nature trail that the developer would construct on county land, connecting the development to Fighting Creek Park. The planning commission had questions about the parking and the entrances but overall seemed to view the preliminary renderings of the project favorably. Staff has not yet made a recommendation on this project.

Powhatan’s varsity wrestling team won the 2021 Virginia High School League Class 4, Region B championship on Saturday at Spotsylvania High School.
POWHATAN WRESTLERS ARE REGION CHAMPS! By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor SPOTSYLVANIA – His team is one that’s been four to five years in the making, and Powhatan High School senior Sean Hall has been waiting about that long to feel the feeling that he and his Powhatan wrestling teammates collectively felt in Spotsylvania High School’s gymnasium on Saturday evening.
The elation that comes with being crowned the regional champions. The battle-tested unit had come close in years past, but at last, Powhatan was able to hoist the Virginia High School League Class 4, Region B trophy after finishing first in points ahead of runner-up and perennial power Eastern View. “It’s just great to see that all of our hard work has paid off in our final year,” said Powhatan senior Sean Hall,
who became a four-time regional champion with his 3-2 triumph over Eastern View freshman Kadin Smoot in the 132-pound first-place match. “This group of kids – through all of the adversity we’ve been through, through the situations we’re in – they just kept grinding, kept putting in the work, and it’s obviously been paying off,” said senior Hayden Fitzsimmons, who broke through for his first regional championship while wrestling at
195 pounds. “I wouldn’t want to go to war with anyone else but these people here.” It was the first regional championship for Powhatan wrestling. “We thought we had the ability – it’s kind of funny, me and Coach (Richard) Fitzsimmons were talking yesterday at practice and it was just like…one of the years has to be our year. One of the years, we have to have see WRESTLERS, pg. 3B

MIDLOTHIAN – A new school record is in the books. Powhatan track and field standout Anthony Greenhow added another accolade in his storied high school career, setting Powhatan High School’s new best time in the boys 500-meter dash with a run of 1:11.34 in Thursday’s meet at James River High School. Running the 500m for the first time, Greenhow rocketed out to a big start, then stayed ahead of James River’s Ty Redmond to win the second heat of the 500 and earn sixth place overall in the event. In addition to the 500, Greenhow, a senior, is PHS’ record holder in the 55, the 100, the 200 and the 300. He will be going for the school record in the 400 this spring. Greenhow this past summer ran standout times in two electronically timed runs at PHS, delivering sprints of 10.49 in the 100 and 21.31 in the 200. He has signed to attend and run track for the University of South Carolina. Powhatan track and field is slated to compete in the winter-season regionals this Saturday at Louisa County High School at 10 a.m.

Manes taking on first year in Coca-Cola iRacing Series By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor Garrett Manes’ first foray into the premiere NASCAR-sanctioned eSports league – the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series – is under way, and he’s embracing the challenge with a new sponsor and a familiar race team. The racer from Powhatan County will look to continue to build on his successes with Elliott Sadler eSports, founded by fellow Virginian and former NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler. Manes will also join forces with Offerpad, an online platform for buying and selling homes. Like Manes, ESE and Offerpad are taking on their first year in the CocaCola iRacing Series. “It’s really cool to have the opportunity with Elliott – we put a lot of work into getting his team into the Coke Series, and everybody on the team is going to be able to be represented,” Manes said, adding: “It’s really cool to have the opportunity to represent Offerpad. I’m really glad they chose to sponsor me this year..really looking forward to being able to represent them this year and hopefully for years to come.” “I’m very happy to get Offerpad on the car and create a relationship with such an up-and-growing company; what they offer at times like this is second-tonone, and they’re also getting their feet wet in the NASCAR realm as well,” Sadler said. “It’s definitely a start of what I feel like is going to be a great relationship.” It was with ESE that Manes earned his first virtual Road to Pro and Pro Series victories and advanced his way into the elite Coca-Cola Series. “It’s really cool to be able to stick with them throughout it all,” Manes said of Elliott Sadler eSports. “Everyone over there is such a great team.” In addition to Manes’ machine, ESE is also fielding the No. 1 Toyota that will be driven by Ashton Crowder, who along with Manes won for the organization in this past winter’s six-race Pro Series. The car piloted by Crowder will feature another national brand in Nutrien Ag Solutions, who last year sponsored Ross Chastain in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. “We just really got this team off the ground, and to already have great partnerships like we have is honestly pretty cool,” Sadler said. “It’s exciting, and we want to make the most of it.”

Garrett Manes runs the No. 2 Offerpad Toyota Camry on the virtual Daytona International Speedway.
ESE is unique in the series in that it embraces a Cup team concept. ESE’s team members test together on a daily basis and conduct all of their marketing together. The team also features people in different positions, including engineers, builders and marketing personnel, Sadler noted. All three of ESE’s drivers in this winter’s Pro Series – Crowder, Manes and Vicente Salas – advanced to this year’s Coca-Cola iRacing Series. “Whatever we’re doing’s working. The kids are working hard together. I think they’re learning a lot in this type of company that we’ve built, because if they want to move to the NASCAR landscape, I’ve really tried to blur the lines between how a NASCAR team runs their company and how we’re running our eSports team,” Sadler said, “so when they get to the next level, they’re already used to the way all of this works.” The purpose of ESE, Sadler said, is to give an opportunity to young people who want to make it to the next level. “I had a lot of people help me coming along that helped me get to Late Models, that helped me get to Xfinity, that helped me get to the Cup Series,” Sadler said. “I want to create that same type of platform...where, guys on my team, I want them to have an ambition to make it to the NASCAR level, whether that’s as a driver, an engineer, a spotter, a marketing person, what-have-you...I want to be able to help them any way I can to fulfill their dreams.” His driver Manes, Sadler pointed out, is “fast everywhere he goes.” “He’s got a really good head on his shoulders. He’s very intelligent when it comes to setups and what he needs to go fast at different tracks,” Sadler said. “He’s just a great young man as well. All the discussions I have with him have always been 100-percent professional
from his side as well. “I honestly think, with a break here, or a break there, he’s got a bright future in racing,” Sadler said of Manes. “We’ve just got to try to navigate that correctly because it’s so tough – the way the business model is now in NASCAR, it’s so tough to create opportunities a lot of times, but he’s a good young man. He’s got all of the right buttons to push to make it to the next level. We just hope he can do that.” Manes got his first experience racing against this year’s Coca-Cola iRacing Series competition when he took on The Clash, the series’ preseason exhibition race on the Daytona International Speedway oval format. While he didn’t come away with the win, Manes was in a winning position on the backstretch of the final lap. There were two main trains of cars – one line of cars stacked nose-to-tail on the inside, the other charging on the outside – and Manes was leading the outside train of cars. He was moving forward with a push from defending series champion Nick Ottinger. The two leaders, Logan Clampitt and Keegan Leahy, were to his left. As they continued down the backstraightaway, Leahy tried to move up the track, but because he was not clear of Manes, he made contact with the No. 2 ESE Toyota, leading to Manes getting sideways. Manes, however, eventually straightened out his car and finished eighth. While the Clash has no season-long implications, Manes and his race team showcased a combination of resiliency and smart decisions that put them in a position to contend for the win in the wild, crash-filled virtual racing event. After initially getting caught up in a huge crash within the first 20 laps that briefly lifted his car’s wheels off the ground, Manes used the Clash’s mulligan – the fast repair – to restore his car
and return to the competition. After the race went green, two cars at the front of the pack spun out in a slide down low, and Manes, with a heads-up read, dove onto pit road. Manes fell back to 38th with no cars around him to draft with him, but another crash in the leading pack would soon bring out the yellow flag, and the incident plus his decision to pit earlier catapulted Manes all the way up to sixth. “They actually wrecked coming off of turn 4, which, if I had waited until the best possible time to pit, I wouldn’t have survived,” Manes said. “Very lucky to have made that call and get up to P6, put us in position to really show what we had.” Manes briefly led the race and stayed near the front all the way up to the backstretch of the last lap, when the contact with Leahy ultimately took him out of contention for the race win. Logan Clampitt won the race. “The level of competition in the Coke Series is definitely the strongest field you’ll ever race on on iRacing,” Manes said. “Everybody knows your next move – you’re not going to make a move that nobody has seen before. Basically everyone knows how to counter what you’re going to do, so you have to be very calculated and put people in a position that they can’t defend, and there at the end, I felt like we were in that position.” But for Manes, it was really cool to have Sadler on the box during the Clash. “Honestly his feedback that I was hearing helped me in that race and helped me make better decisions, or just kept me making the right ones,” said Manes, who had a new spotter for the race. “Overall it just helped our team as a whole...Elliott had feedback for what information I might need to hear, and he was spot-on. I agreed 100 percent...I’m hoping that feedback will lead to better things...for the remainder of the season.” Upcoming stops on the 18-race Coca-Cola iRacing Series points schedule will include two newcomers to the series, the road courses of Circuit of the Americas (May 18) and Road America (June 29), as well as Richmond Raceway, Manes’ home track, on April 13. “I told Richmond Raceway: it’s still home turf, so hopefully we can get the repeat from the Pro Series,” Manes said. “Definitely looking forward to that race.”
Swimmers set new school records at regionals Staff Reports Powhatan’s swimmers earned nine top-10 placements, set three new school records and earned several best times in Thursday’s Class 4, Region B meet. Cole Malkerson set the new school records in the boys 100yard freestyle (51.55 seconds) and 100 backstroke events (57.49). He barely missed making states with his fifth-place finish in the 100 free by 1.55 seconds (the top four in the event advanced to states) and added a sixth-place result in the 100
back. The boys relay team of Cole Malkerson, Brandon Vallent, Nathan Orban and Wyatt Malkerson broke their own school record in the 200 free relay with a seventhplace time of 1:44.61. The same four swam a 10th-place time of 1:59.35 in the 200 medley relay. Mia Wilson also earned two top-10 individual placements with seventh-place finishes in the girls 50 and 100 free events in respective times of 26.72 and 58.34. The girls 200 free relay team of Wilson, Brea Baldwin, Rowan

junior Kayla Terry, who was behind the 3-point arc. Terry took the shot. The ball swished through for 3 points, propelling Powhatan into the lead. That’s where they stayed. Crashing the boards, weathering the press and knocking down key shots late in the stretch, the Indians fended off Midlothian 43-34. Powhatan head girls basketball coach Kristy Henderson said it was a great win for her team, which has now won five of its last six games. Tuesday’s triumph also marked an improvement over the first time Powhatan had played Midlothian on Jan. 12, when the Trojans won 69-59. “Our defense is getting better, recognizing things, they’re understanding and trusting each other on defense,” Henderson said. “That has been a huge difference for us.” Going into the game, Henderson noted that she and her coaching staff challenged their players to take pride in their defense on Tuesday night, and to
Blashfield and Summer Campbell took seventh in 1:58.55. The girls 400 relay team of Campbell, Margaret Compton, Sidney White and Payton George swam sixth in 5:09.32, and the boys 400 relay team of Orban, Joshua Holland, Russell Holland and Cooper Schardt placed eighth in 4:39.02. In team rankings, Powhatan’s girls placed eighth overall and Powhatan’s boys finished ninth for the two teams’ highest respective finishes in regionals in the young history of Powhatan’s swimming program.
follow through on the basics of closing out, keeping their opponents out of the middle, boxing out and rebounding. “I thought we did a great job with that,” Henderson said. “We brought the intensity, which we need in every game.” While Cerullo secured the doubledouble by high-pointing 14 rebounds on Tuesday, she wasn’t alone in crashing the boards. Terry, junior Faith Henderson and sophomore Erin Almond also hauled in key rebounds, and a defensive board by freshman Corynn Lampman in the third quarter ultimately put into motion the go-ahead possession that was started by Cerullo’s jump ball and capped by Terry’s 3. Cerullo also converted multiple blocks into takeaways, and junior Logan Anthony added to her team’s defensive efforts when she stole back a steal by Midlothian in the second quarter, when Powhatan at the time was trailing by 4 points. Midlothian, whose lead shrunk to 18-17 going into the second half, unleashed the full-court press early in the third quarter, converting a steal by Jenna Shadders into a layup by her teammate and fellow senior Madison Fath.

Powhatan senior Cole Malkerson set two new school records in the boys 100-yard freestyle and 100 back during Thursday’s Class 4, Region B swim meet.
Midlothian grabbed a couple more steals in the stretch, but a couple of turnovers plus rebounds by Powhatan led to a jumper from Faith Henderson that narrowed Midlothian’s lead back down to 1 point. “I don’t think we were reading that very well at first,” coach Kristy Henderson said of Midlothian’s press, “and then once we got comfortable with it and everyone was doing their part on the press break, we seemed much more calm.” Terry’s 3-pointer soon shifted the lead – and the momentum – to Powhatan. Terry netted three 3’s in Tuesday’s game, and she joined teammates Faith and Cerullo in shooting a combined 7 for 8 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter alone to keep Powhatan’s lead out of reach in the closing stage. Faith knocked down 7 points in the first quarter alone and led the way with 15 overall. When Midlothian had cut Powhatan’s lead to 26-24 in the opening stage of the fourth quarter, she dashed through a narrow gap in between Midlothian’s defenders and flipped through an insurance layup. Terry totaled 11 points. Cerullo
shot 8 for 10 from the free-throw line and netted 10 points overall. Rounding out Powhatan’s scoring was sophomore Erin Almond, who, after notching a key jumper early in the second quarter, knocked down a big 3 to cap a 7-0 run that further extended Powhatan’s lead in the fourth with 5:28 to play. She also traded a followup jumper by Midlothian with a putback. Almond totaled 7 points on the night. “Erin can score – Erin has a beautiful shot,” coach Henderson said. “When she’s open and she can hit shots like that, they’re big for us.” Madison Fath, who opened the game with a beautiful layup in which she flipped the ball through the hoop behind her, led Midlothian (7-4) with 12 points. Powhatan concluded the regular season with hard-fought games on the road against James River on Thursday and Cosby on Saturday. Powhatan came up just shy of the victory on Thursday as James River narrowly won 47-46, and the Indians led Cosby 32-30 at the half, but the Titans jumped out to a 51-42 lead in the third quarter and won the game 65-54.

it where our kids perform about or better than where we think, because it just has to happen. Our kids are better than they’ve shown, and….if our program is where we think it is, then we need to show that,” Powhatan head coach Jonathan Tanaka said. “I’m super proud of our guys for showing it…just proud of our guys, proud of our coaching staff. I’m sad that our fans couldn’t be here to celebrate it with us. It’s kind of a bittersweet moment, but we’ll have a party when we get back to Powhatan, I’m sure.” Powhatan won two individual titles with Hall and Fitzsimmons, added four runner-up placements and three third-place finishes and had two more wrestlers reach the third-place match in their respective weight brackets. In addition to their two region champions, Powhatan will get to take the four runners-up – junior Dylan Coward (113 pounds), sophomore Britton Proffitt (138), junior Cade Van Buskirk (145) and senior Linwood Hill (170) – to the Class 4 state tournament. “It’s just obviously a big motivation for us that we finally got that regional title,” Hall said. “We also got a district title this year, so we want to cap it off with a state title as well.” Hall and Fitzsimmons both went unbeaten with three wins each in their respective brackets. Hall pinned Courtland’s Dalton Best in the first round, then earned his spot in his fourth regional final by routing Spotsylvania’s Luke Wahlquist in a 15-1 major decision. In the 132-pound first-place match, Hall and Smoot tied at 1-1 before Hall shot, got a hold of his opponent’s right leg, stayed low, lifted Smoot’s legs, pressed forward and then spun around to move both behind and above Smoot, pivoting him in a semicircular turn as Smoot’s head stayed to the ground. The two points that followed on Hall’s takedown ensured that he stayed in the lead. “It feels good – it’s a nice little capoff that my last regional championship was kind of like my first in that it was with an Eastern View kid, and it was a pretty close match,” Hall said. “It’s a really great feeling to have.” Hall, a three-time top-three state placer, will seek his first individual state championship in his fourth state tournament. Fitzsimmons punched his ticket to the regional final by pinning both Chancellor’s Jamey Lewchanin in the first round and Jacob Epperly in the semifinals. From there, Fitzsimmons, who put in a ton of time in the weight room the last couple of years and built up his mass in his bump-up from 182 pounds last year to 195, turned and pinned Courtland’s Charlie Henderson to secure his first regional title, as well as his return to states. “It’s an awesome feeling,” Fitzsimmons said. “Thousands of hundreds of hours put in and blood, sweat and tears, really pays off to have this feeling like this.” “Hayden – nobody deserves it like he does; he just works really hard,” Tanaka said. “I get jealous, man – I hope my kid wants to wrestle, too, because watching (Coach) Rich and (his son) Hayden get to wrestle and be with each other, I can’t imagine how much fun and how special it is for them. “Those two kids (Hall and Fitzsimmons) deserved it – Sean battled a really tough freshman kid at Eastern View and got all he wanted,” Tanaka said. “Super-happy for both those guys. Hard work pays off.” This year’s regional tournament worked differently in that the thirdplace match winners who did not get beaten by the losing wrestlers in the first-place matches were able to take

on those wrestlers in extra matches for true second-place honors. The winners of the true second-place matches would get to advance to states. Coward and Hill had to win their way in. Coward at 113 dominated his opening match over Courtland’s Tristen Picard in a 12-1 major decision before edging past Mechanicsville’s Ryan Magill 3-2 to reach the regional championship round. He narrowly lost 3-1 to Eastern View’s Elijah Smoot. “Dylan’s first regional finals, that’s always kind of uncharted territory – you’ve got to figure out exactly how to get your nerves under control and how to keep all the butterflies out,” Tanaka said. “I think he’s going to learn a lot from it, and I think we’ll probably see that kid again in the state tournament in two weeks.” Coward then faced Spotsylvania’s Jacob Derby in the true second-place match. He took a 2-0 lead and steadily built up his advantage before pinning Derby with roughly 1:05 remaining to ensure his runner-up result and state berth. Hill at 170 trounced Mechanicsville’s Nick Owens in a 17-4 major decision in the first round, but in his next match he took a second-period pin to Eastern View’s Griffin Smythers to move to the consolation semifinals, where he bested Dinwiddie’s Oscar Cunningham in a 7-2 decision. Hill muscled past Spotsylvania’s Mason Christopher in the third-place match via an 8-5 decision to force a true second-place wrestle-off between himself and Orange County’s Taylor Jenkins. Hill would go on to take the win, the overall second-place finish and the state berth by injury default. “Linwood – man, so proud of him. He lost a really tough match to Smythers in the semis, and then just kept wrestling back,” Tanaka said. “We told him that he would have that shot – you’ve just got to keep wrestling, and it would’ve been heartbreaking to see him not go to the state tournament. Now he’s going to get to go. He’ll finally get a chance to get up on that podium and show how good he really is.” While Hill and Coward are state tournament returners, Proffitt and Van Buskirk will be wrestling at that level for the first time. Proffitt at 138 advanced to the regional semifinals by pinning Mechanicsville’s Dominic Bischoff in the second period, then won a thriller of a semifinal match in which he took down Eastern View’s Cam Sheads in overtime to earn the 3-1 triumph. He lost to Spotsylvania’s Kyle Csikari in a 5-1 decision in
the first-place match and retained second place as Sheads, whom he had already beaten, finished third. “Semifinal match actually was super tough…Sheads is tough,” Tanaka said. “Britton just wrestled a really smart match.” Van Buskirk at 145 broke a 4-4 tie with a takedown late in the third period of his first-round match, then grabbed three points on a near-fall to ensure his 9-4 win by decision over Eastern View’s Nick Nazarro. He overcame an early 2-1 deficit in his semifinal match and racked up multiple takedowns to fend off Patrick Henry’s Justin Morgan in a 13-8 barnburner. Van Buskirk tied King George’s David Norris 4-4 in the championship match, and it looked like he would get a go-ahead takedown, but the points didn’t come, and Norris struck to takedown Van Buskirk for the lead. Van Buskirk added a point, and he shot one final time and was working his way towards a takedown that could get him the lead and the win, but time ran out in the third and final period of regulation before he could get the chance to follow through on the move. Norris narrowly held him off 6-5 for the win. Van Buskirk, however, was also able to keep second place without contest as Morgan, whom he defeated earlier, took third place. “I love the kid – I taught him in class the last two years, parents are phenomenal. Kid just works really hard,” Tanaka said of Van Buskirk. “Just proud of him for battling – it’s not always been the easiest road for him, he’s not always found the most success, and this year…he’s just stayed away from those mistakes that have plagued him in the past, and couldn’t be happier for him.” Senior A.J. Gaskin (152) capped his dominant first-round match by pinning Patrick Henry’s Sam Fox with 43 seconds remaining, but took a heartbreaker of a 4-3 loss in the last second to Hanover’s Luke Hart in the semifinals. He bounced back in the consolation semifinals with a 5-1 win by decision over Louisa’s Tanner Painting. In what his likely his final high school varsity match, Gaskin, who committed to Ferrum, pinned Chancellor’s Lorenzo Coleman in the third period to take third place in his weight class. Junior Hans Rehme (182) opened his run in the tournament by shutting out King George County’s Silas Teague in a 9-0 major decision, but took a pin to Caroline’s Shane Shirley within the final five seconds of his semifinal match. He returned with an explosive showcase in the consolation
semis, roaring out to a 5-0 lead before pinning Courtland’s Joseph Meyer in 51 seconds. He pinned Mechanicsville’s Kyle Whitlock with 12 seconds left in the second period to place third. Junior Tanner Palmore (heavyweight) pinned Mechanicsville’s Joseph Elaal with 1:28 remaining, but fell to Spotsylvania’s Kyle Orris in the third period of the semifinals. He rebounded in the consolation semis by pinning Orange County’s Thomas Pierce in 53 seconds, then pinned Elaal in 41 for third place. Junior Andrew Cheatham (160) pinned Orange County’s Solo Mthethwa in the second period of the first round, but was bumped to the consolation semis with a 7-1 loss to Eastern View’s Daniel Taylor. Cheatham won his way into the third-place match by fending off Caroline’s Trevor Beale in a 7-5 decision, but he lost in a 12-3 major decision to Patrick Henry’s Lorenzo Verdelotti. Junior Mitchell Johnson – who last year emerged as Powhatan football’s leading running back, wrestled some varsity matches in 2019-20 and stepped up this year to wrestle at 195 and 220 pounds this year when an injury sidelined senior Micah Holt for the season – also fought his way to his respective third-place match at 220. After he took a narrow 2-1 firstround loss to Dinwiddie’s Ben Pfister, Johnson bounced back in the consolation bracket to pin Spotsylvania’s Cotton Yelton, then overcame a 1-0 second-period deficit to take the lead from Mechanicsville’s Adam Elaal with a three-point near-fall and pin him with 7 seconds left in the consolation semis. Johnson rumbled out to a 10-3 lead over Pfister in a rematch for the guaranteed third place, but Pfister rallied to pin him in the second period. Freshman Talon Harness (120) opened his first regional tournament with a 12-6 loss by decision to Eastern View’s Aidan McCarton, but he bounced back in the consolation quarterfinals to pin Orange County’s Jackson Atwood with 5 seconds remaining. He finished the tournament in the consolations semis, taking a 9-1 major-decision loss to Spotsylvania’s Devin Burrows. Sophomore Natalia Sanchez (106) lost by pin to Courtland’s Chance Picard in the first round and to Chancellor’s Aiden McLaughlin in the consolation quarterfinals. Powhatan, whose last individual state title came in 2019 with J.D. McMillin, will look to break through both individually and on the team side in the Class 4 state wrestling tournament on Saturday, Feb. 20 at the Virginia Beach Sports Complex. Even though they’ll only have six wrestlers, Tanaka and his coaching staff are really confident in those six wrestlers and their abilities. They’ll also now have “huge momentum” on their side following their regional triumph, Hayden Fitzsimmons noted. “No one likes to come in here the past few years and come up just short, getting third or second – just fall short to these teams we always had,” Fitzsimmons said. “To finally punch through and best them finally after all these years, it’s going to be a big momentum-shift into states…we’ve just got to keep grinding.”
