County administrator presents official recommended budget to supervisors By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors was back to discussing the county’s financial forecasts last week as members shared some of their initial reactions to the county administrator’s proposed fiscal year (FY) 2022 budget. During a workshop held on Friday, March 5, the board members discussed the official budget recommendation, which county administrator Ned Smither released on Monday, March 1. A copy of the budget can be found on the county’s website at http://www.powhatanva.gov/ DocumentCenter/Index/301. Despite proposing an FY 2022 budget that would be significantly higher than the past two years, Smither’s proposal actually includes a 2-cent real estate tax rate decrease, which would put the tax
rate at 83 cents if approved. Smither provided the board with a few different ways to look at the budget totals using charts that take various funding sources and uses into account. On each of the charts, the revenues and expenditures proposed for FY 2022 do not yet balance. On a chart that looks at all fund revenues and expenditures net of inter-fund transfers, the proposed revenues would total $95.07 million, which is an increase of 10.6% ($9.1 million) over the FY 2021 adopted budget revenues. Currently, the FY 2022 proposed expenditures are listed as $100.41 million, or an increase of 16.8% ($14.45 million). Everyone involved has acknowledged that FY 2021 was a very different year with highly conservative measures, but even when compared to the FY 2020 actual audited numbers, the proposed FY 2022 figures represent a significant in-
crease. The FY 2022 proposed revenues were budgeted at $6.59 million (7.45%) over FY 2020 actuals. The expenditures for 2022 are budgeted at $8.93 million (9.76%) over the FY 2020 actuals. This is significant since county staff used FY 2020 as a base of reference because it was the last full year of operations prior to the supervisors’ conservative budget. The FY 2022 budget addresses a sizeable investment in the first year of Smither’s planned 10-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The proposed CIP includes many improvements that are consistent with the county’s strategic plan, many of which improve facilities within the county, and some providing new facilities as needed. The 89-page budget document laid out the background information and considerations that went in the budget, such as new positions and CIP projects. Some of the key features of the budget were
Free Clinic opens in new location By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – On a recent tour of the freshly opened new home of the Free Clinic of Powhatan, executive director Connie Moslow paused in the doorway that connects the lobby to the rest of the building. This view, she said with a sweeping gesture, is the reason this is her favorite spot in the newly renovated building on Skaggs Road. From there she could see the long hallway full of doors leading to rooms where people in need will receive the medical, dental, and mental health services they need in a bright, modern space. “Every time I go through this building I smile. Truthfully I never thought we would have what we have. To me this is beautiful,” she said with a grin. The Free Clinic officially opened its doors to patients in its new location at 2320 Skaggs Road

Highlights Smither’s executive summary highlights some key features in how he and his staff built the budget. He pointed out that the board of supervisors took great pains in June 2020 to adopt a fiscally restrained FY 2021 budget “that curtailed spending and reduced estimates for revenue sources including real estate, personal property, and sales tax.” However, as fall and winter passed, it became apparsee COUNTY, pg. 4

Rather than a linear examination of the document, the March 5 discussion was driven by board members’ questions about certain aspects of it and issues with some of the plans in the budget.
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors decided last week to allow the circuit court to choose who will fill the vacant District 2 supervisor seat. The board met to discuss the issue in a closed session held during a special meeting on Wednesday, March 3 called solely for that purpose. After coming out of the closed session, which lasted less than 20 minutes, chairwoman Karin Carmack, who represents District 5, read a statement announcing the board’s intention not to choose the person who will serve as their interim fellow board member. “After careful consideration and review of a number of exceptional candidates for District 2 supervisor, we have unanimously determined that the most prudent, non-
partisan, objective course of action is to allow the circuit court judge to determine the appointee. We are excited to serve with any of the potential candidates and look forward to a productive time together until the Nov. 2 special election,” she said. According to state code, the board of supervisors has 45 days from the vacancy left when Larry Nordvig resigned effective Jan. 31 to make an interim appointment. If the members of the board of supervisors “cannot agree, or do not act,” the decision will fall to the circuit court judges. In response to an inquiry from the Powhatan Today, Powhatan County Circuit Court Judge Paul Cella wrote in a letter on March 5 that the circuit court judges were awaiting written notification from the supervisors. “Upon receipt of written confir-

Beginning in September 2020, Hosted Backbone LLC was hired by the county using federal CARES Act funds for broadband installation in several population dense parts of the county that are currently underserved with internet services. An agreement with the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors authorized the company to lay fiber in small areas of Districts 2, 3, and 5 with concentrated areas of homes.

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.

Unexpected vehicle valuations for 2021 Contributed Report Historically, vehicle values tend to depreciate from month to month. As such, the predicted value of any vehicle would be lower than the value of that same vehicle the previous January. In early 2020, vehicle values were trending as the industry normally expected, according to the Powhatan County Commissioner of the Revenue’s Office. Then, in March, COVID-19 altered the anticipated trends of the automobile industry. As a result, all major vehicle valuation services, not just National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), indicated increased market values between January 2020 and January 2021. Just over the summer of 2020,
prices increased over 10% for the U.S. used car market as a whole. Several key market events, beginning as far back as mid-2019, played a part in the values established in January 2021. These events include but are not limited to: In March 2020, The Federal Reserve cut the interest rates to near 0%. These low interest rates, on both new and preowned vehicles, allowed consumers to purchase vehicles sooner than they would have in the past. A strong demand means higher prices. The “COVID-19” related closing of certain auto manufacturing plants for the necessary production of ventilators and other personal protective equipment caused a fur-
ther reduction in inventory. Large fleet companies (E.g.: rentals agencies and car services) chose not to replace inventory, adding to the shortage of preowned vehicles in the market. In accordance with The Code of Virginia 58.1-3503, the County of Powhatan Commissioner of the Revenue uses the “Clean Loan Value” established by NADA as fair market value. The Commissioner’s Office will make adjustments for vehicles exceeding the mileage indicated in the pricing guide, said Jamie Timberlake, commissioner of the revenue. “We haven’t seen an increase in used vehicle prices since 2010 right after the Cash for Clunker disaster the Federal government subsidized,” Timberlake said.
PHS holds supply drive for animal shelter Contributed Report The Powhatan High School chapter of the National Honor Society (NHS) recently hosted an animal supply drive for the Powhatan Animal Control, raising a total of 136 items from the combined donations of individuals at Powhatan High School, Powhatan United Methodist Church, and Countryside Bed and Biscuit, as well as a $300 donation from the Powhatan Lions Club. This, along with the physical assistance of NHS volunteers, proved an immense help for the Powhatan Animal Control. The donations at Powhatan High School were supported by Countryside Bed and Biscuit, a kennel, pet daycare, and grooming company, which gave a prize of a luxury pet grooming package to the donor who gave the most. "We really wanted to give back to the community in a way that isn’t traditionally done at Powhatan High School. Many collection drives at our school collect canned food or clothing, but nobody recently has collected for Powhatan Animal Control. We thought that this would be a good way to raise awareness for local services while giving to the ones that need it. We were ecstatic by the results and we hope that Powhatan Animal Control is able to make good use of our donations," said Isabelle Torrijos, NHS student cochairwoman. NHS student co-chairwoman Isabella Cerullo added, “In a time where everything has felt so out of touch and disjointed, this experience has been such a great way to feel connected to our local community.”
vaccine response By Barbara Brown
Special to the Powhatan Today
In the last six weeks, as COVID vaccines have become more available, Powhatan has offered clinics three days a week. When you get the email notifying you of your date for vaccination, there are some actions you can take to boost your body’s response to the vaccine. The good news is the actions are simple. METRO CREATIVE The actions recommended come from a host of studies on immune response to other vaccines such as polio, tetanus, hepatitis B, and influenza. While there has not been enough time to fully evaluate the same factors with COVID vaccines, experts predict they will act the same way. So what are the actions? Let’s start with stress level. If you can manage your stressors, stress levels 10 days after vaccination may influence antibody response more than the two days prior. The easiest way to manage stress based on a date is to manage your sleep and exercise. Evidence for the benefits of sleeping well around a vaccination comes from several studies. One found that healthy adults who sleep less than six hours on average per night before a hepatitis B vaccination had poor responses to the vaccine. Another study found that sleep duration on the two nights before a flu vaccination was the best predictor of immune response several months later. Plan the days prior to the vaccination to allow seven to nine hours of sleep. The next action is to maintain your social connections to reduce loneliness and isolation. The time spent with friends and family does not need to be in person. Use the telephone. Call your friends and family. Set up a family Zoom call. Even in healthy young folks, feelings of loneliness have been associated with lower antibody response to the flu vaccine. The next suggestion is to exercise. Any type of exercise fits the bill. Exercise improves health in many ways as it helps to minimize stress and reduces the risk factors like obesity and diabetes that can worsen COVID-19 symptoms. One study found that people who have an active lifestyle over the age of 62 have higher antibody response to flu vaccination than those who are sedentary. It appears that exercise triggers a transient increase in the proteins that signal the body to form antibodies. Two factors that influence a stronger response to vaccines are the “luck or the draw.” They are sex and age. Women have stronger responses to vaccines than men. Children and young adults have a stronger response than those who are older. One final word is don’t worry about whether you will get a response to the COVID vaccine. Recent data from Israel finds that only 3.5 out of every 100,000 people vaccinated there were later hospitalized with COVID symptoms. By comparison, during a typical flu season in the United States, roughly 150 out of every 100,000 people are hospitalized with flu symptoms.

ent that the economy was not crashing. For instance, the June 30, 2020, sales tax revenues were up 18% over FY 2019 and current FY 2021 spending levels are on pace to grow the county’s sales tax revenues by another 9%. While FY 2021 is not over, the county expects to have a budget surplus of several million dollars. The county administrator’s proposed budget includes expenditures that grow at an annualized twoyear rate of 3.5% over actual spending for FY 2020, according to the budget. At the same time, it includes a projected two year annualized revenue growth of 3.1%, even after proposing to reduce the tax rate by 2 cents. Some of the highlights featured in the executive summary and meeting include: The new budget includes the local funding for Powhatan County Public
Schools budgeted at $24.14 million for FY 2022, which is an increase of $979,963 over the FY 2021 adopted budget. The increased amount Smither proposed includes about $1 million for his recommended 3% merit-based salary adjustment. Smither has recommended making that a standing raise for county and school division employees moving forward. Hiring a large number of new employees has been an important debate in the budget process as board members separate need from want. One recommendations is for the county to move away from hiring a company to conduct real estate assessments every two years and open up a local assessment office that will perform them annually. The proposed budget recommends adding three appraisers and one administrative staff to complete the annual reassessments. In total, the proposed budget adds 15 new posi-
Hello, My name Dudley and I am around 2 to 3 years old. I see people walk past my cage as I lay on my bed, They never stop to talk to me or even ask questions about me. So I figured I would tell you a little about me, and why I lay on my bed. I am a very shy, and insecure boy. I have never really had anyone show me love, and attention. I do get along with other dogs, Dudley and if I had a fur sibling It would probable help me to trust, and to love. I just need someone willing to give me a chance at a normal life instead of feeling sad and lonely. The staff have helped me a lot, I will now wag my tail and prance around a little in the yard. They have showed me that I am worth loving, and now I just need to find a home where I can show my humans I am worthy of love. If you are interested in meeting me Please call 804-598-5672 and the staff will be happy to assist in scheduling a time for you to come meet me.

tions in FY 2022 and an additional three full-time positions that were part-time positions which evolved into full-time positions. As the board goes through the budget and looks at the different departments and their needs, the conversations about need versus want have continued. The summary pointed out that the proposed CIP focuses on public schools and public safety, with $45 million (55%) of the proposed 10-year $83 million CIP allocated to schools and public safety, and 50% of the FY 2022 CIP allocated to these same key areas. The proposed CIP also provides funding to areas targeted in the strategic plan, especially parks and recreation ($9.9 million), broadband ($2 million), and planned facility maintenance ($3.7 million). New for the FY 2022 CIP, staff included the county’s proceeds from the Central Virginia Transportation Authority (CVTA). CVTA will send Powhatan its portion of authority revenues on a monthly basis and the county will manage road construction projects from these funds. Powhatan funding from CVTA is expected to be in excess of $1.3 million per year. The board returned to the issue of the county’s lack of policy regarding the school transfer, or how much of the budget should be allocated to the public schools. They had a lengthy discussion about having a fair and steady number based on good growth rates. The board had a discussion about employee
raises that centered around the state matching counties with raises to teachers, state employees and state-supported local employees if they give 5% raises. If the county were to move forward with instituting an annual 3% raise for all employees, the cost to make up the difference would be about an additional $800,000. Of that, about $400,000 would be coming from the state for its share of standards of quality (SOQ) and comp board positions, he said. The debate was regarding whether it is better to miss the state money or spend money to get roughly half of it back. Fire and rescue One of the biggest topics of conversation during the meeting was fire and rescue. Chief Phil Warner was asked to speak to the board about hiring new staff and apparatus replacement. In Smither’s proposed budget, he recommends hiring three firefighter/ EMTs in FY 2022 and then doing so again at three different points in the next decade – FY 2025, FY 2028, and FY 2030. Throughout the discussion on fire and rescue staff, Warner stressed that he was not looking to hire career staff members just to hire someone. He asked for the new positions in FY 2022 at the request of Company 1, which needs more weekend coverage. The positions in the outlying years are part of an effort to better plan ahead and be prepared to meet needs. However, he

mation that the remaining members of the BOS ‘cannot agree, or do not act,’ I would anticipate that the three Circuit Court judges – Joseph M. Teefey, Jr., Dennis M. Martin, Sr., and I – would conduct private interviews of the candidates who have applied for the position, and then make a decision. The timing of the interviews would depend upon the judg-
stressed Powhatan’s continued dependence on volunteers to staff the stations. “Our vision in our department is we are a volunteer agency supplemented by career staff,” Warner said. Volunteers are rewarding but also harder to manage than career staff members, who are getting paid to be there. Recruiting and retaining volunteers is about building good relationships, engaging volunteers, keeping them active, and having them stay a part of the Powhatan community, he said. While recruiting efforts are good, volunteers still have to go through 18 to 24 months of training before they can serve. “Running a volunteer organization is difficult. They are going in burning buildings, risking their own lives. They go to car wrecks and pull people out of some of the ugliest places you’ve ever imagined and they are doing it uncompensated. That is a hard group of people to manage,” Warner said. “We are going to continue, as long as I’m here, to maintain those relationships and build the volunteer fire and rescue department.” Warner also was asked to do a presentation about apparatus replacement. He talked about the various kinds of apparatus used by fire and rescue, their general life expectancy, and deciding when to replace them. Building department The building department generates revenue for the county, but a high vol-

The board of supervisors asked in January for citizens to submit applications for their consideration for the vacant seat by Feb. 12. They received eight applications and interviewed the candidates in a series of closed session interviews held on Feb. 24 and 25. Applications were received from

The board wasn’t ready to discuss the tax rate in depth so the supervisors created another budget workshop at 1 p.m. on Friday, March 19 in the Village Building. Their goal is to adopt the tax rate by March 29 because of the lead time needed to get the June tax bills ready and mailed. At Smither’s recommendation, the board has said it wants to switch to a calendar year for tax rates instead of having it become effective with the November tax bill. While the tax rate will be adopted on March 29, the board still plans to hold the public hearing on the budget on April 19.

In addition to hiring a new building inspector, Smither is suggesting splitting part of the staff into a separate permit office that could better streamline the process. Bill Cox, who represents District 4, hit especially hard on the topic of planning and zoning because he wanted to better define the struggles the department is having and then set measurable goals the county can use to determine if they have been achieved.

Planning commission recommends mixed use development By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Planning Commission recently unanimously approved recommending a mixed use development with retail and multi-unit residential units being proposed for the Village area. During the planning commission’s meeting on Tuesday, March 2, the members heard the official rezoning request for a mixed use development in the 4000 block of Old Buckingham Road. The

derground backbone work in the first week of February. With the infrastructure in place, the company’s subsidiary, Port 80, which will be the internet service provider, has been steadily working through the project areas to connect new customers, said Evan Weiner, Port 80 managing member. “It is in progress. We are transitioning to a phase where significantly more crews will be devoted to installations, so they will be happening at a much quicker pace. We hope to be completing at least 25 homes per week, but that is all dependent on the weather. We are hoping to have everyone that is interested activated by early summer,” he said. The finished project will include a combination of areas originally planned in fall 2020 and streets and subdivisions added on because of the availability of more CARES Act funds to make it possible, Weiner said. Total construction costs funded with the combined CARES Act funds were $859,945, he said.

request is to rezone 9.757 acres in the 4000 block of Old Buckingham Road from Agricultural-10 (A10) to Village Center Planned Development. The commissioners voted 5-0 in favor of recommending approval to the board of supervisors, which will hear the case at its March 22 regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. The project, called the Depot at Fighting Creek, would include 30 attached residential rental units and approximately 26,500 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 about 1,400 feet west of Mann Road. The commission first heard about the project during a presentation given by developer Michael Potter at its Feb. 2 meeting. When Rick Smith, a co-developer, spoke at the March 2 meeting, he did not offer any further presentation but answered a few questions regarding the proposed project’s second entrance. Applicants are not re-
quired to make a presentation during the review of a case before the planning commission or board of supervisors. However, the lack of additional information or significant updates from the Feb. 2 workshop was questioned in a public comment made by Powhatan resident David Anderson. He said that in planning commission meetings he has attended in recent years, the applicant has stood up and explained the project to the community. “In this case, I heard nothing from the appli-
cant to explain the project to the community. In the past two or three years anything to do with rental units has been a hot topic in the county, and I am just surprised that there wasn’t more full conversation about it,” he said. “I know there has been a conversation in the previous workshop about the project, but a workshop, to me, is more of a working process.” Moving forward, he asked that in the “spirit of transparency,” the planning commission make sure the public hears more about an applica-
tion before a public hearing and not rely on a previous workshop. While there was no formal presentation, the planning commission did ask questions about two main issues related to access management. The proposed project includes two parking lots divided by an internal road. In the western parking lot would likely be a hardware store, outdoor space for seasonal displays, and a retention pond. The other parking lot would have two retail
By the time the project is complete, Weiner said the company hopes to have brought high-speed internet to at least 350 Powhatan homes. He shared the areas where infrastructure has been laid and people will have the option to get connected. “We don’t know exactly how many are going to want service at the end of the day, but we are anticipating a very high take rate – probably upwards of 80%,” Weiner said. In Western Powhatan, the areas impacted are Walnut Creek Subdivision, The Paddock Subdivision, and Anderson Highway from The Paddock to the Cumberland County line. In the Huguenot Trail/ State Farm area, the impacted roads are: Rolling Trail Drive, Upper River Way, Upper Tillman Way, Woods Way, Huguenot Trail from Pleasants Lane to Taurman Park Drive, Blue Bell Farms, and Taurman Park Drive. In southern Powhatan, the impacted areas are: River Estates, Rocky Ford Road from Genito Road to River Estates, Genito Road from Petersburg Road to Rocky Ford Road, Petersburg Road,
Pilkington Road, Bellson Road and Bellson Lane, Clayville Road from the railroad tracks to the Chesterfield County line, Antler Pond Drive, and Pettit Lane. “We have been hooking up folks as we have been able to work it into the schedule. There are a significant number of folks that are connected down by the State Farm, a significant number of folks that are connected in Walnut Creek, as well as on Rocky Ford Road and Petersburg Road,” Weiner said. This project is important because it is reaching homes that had little or no high speed internet options, he said. The project won’t reach all Powhatan homes in need, but it is a start and is still progress. “Every home matters. You have homes with children that are trying to go to school with distance learning, and this has a huge impact on their life. There are adults who are trying to work over the internet and may not be able to keep a job because their office is shut down and they don’t have reliable internet at home,” he said. Recognizing that, Weiner asked residents in
the project area to understand that the company is moving as fast as it can while working within some constraints that it has no control over. The weather was a huge factor since one day of rain in the wintertime can delay workers as many as four days of work because of how long it takes to dry out. In addition to that, the company is dealing with industry-wide material shortages and maintaining a work environment that adheres to COVID-19 safety guidelines for employees, he added. Despite the delays, he is happy that the project has some success stories with the customers that have been connected so far. Hanna Mauck, who lives in the State Farm area, was one of the lucky customers who was connected to service early on in the project in fall 2020. While having a good internet connection wasn’t a huge priority for Mauck and her family when they moved to the county in 2016, COVID-19 changed all of that in early 2020. Mauck’s company had her and other employees work from home, her husband was also working from home, and their
7-year-old son was suddenly doing distance learning after the schools shut down in March until the end of the school year in June 2020. Trying to accomplish everything they needed for work and home with the hotspots they had was extremely frustrating and limiting on a daily basis, she said. So when the Maucks got connected to Port 80 in the fall, it was an amazing change that solved a major stressor for the family. “It is great to be able to watch Netflix and my son loves to play Fortnite, so it is great to have those abilities, but that wasn’t even a thought for us. We just wanted to be able to survive – to earn a living and not get frustrated on a daily basis working from home,” she said. Trey Lawson of Powhatan was in a similar situation with his wife and three daughters at their home in the Walnut Creek Subdivision. They were using the hotspots on their cell phone as well as a Verizon MiFi that would cut off when the family reached a 15GB limit. Lawson is a teacher in another locality and, up until last week, was fully
virtual. His wife, a school counselor, was also working from home trying to connect with students and fellow employees. Trying to do their work from home was a challenge with the connections holding some days and dropping others, as well as monitoring their usage to make sure they didn’t run out of data, he said. “We were almost rationing our internet to make sure we had enough to do our jobs with,” Lawson said. When Port 80’s service became available in their subdivision, the family was thrilled to get connected in mid-January, he said. The difference it made in their ability to do their work was amazing, and the chance to use the internet for entertainment for the family without the stress of monitoring the data usage has been great, he added. “Obviously in the age that we live in now, internet is something people need more on a regular basis. I think Powhatan County realizing that and addressing it is something that has been beneficial to a lot of people, especially out in this part of the county,” Lawson said.

Mural project aims to spread joy
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS
Kailin Little, a Powhatan High School Class of 2020 graduate, recently completed a mural at her church as part of her efforts to achieve her Girl Scout Gold Award. The theme of Little’s Gold Award was ‘Art and Children’s issues.’ Her project addressed the lack of art representation in her church (The Jesus Center Church in Appomattox). “I wanted to inspire future artists. In order to bring more art to my church, I decided to paint a colorful flower mural on one of the youth classroom walls. As soon as I painted the first flower on the wall it immediately brightened up the room,” she said. The entire Gold Award project took 88 hours. It included planning, research, volunteer, training with Richmond artist Hamilton Glass, and implementation. Her target audience was her church congregation and the Appomattox County community. Little is a member of Troop 64. Her troop leader is Patricia Jones and her Gold Award mentor was Audrey Sullivan.

school division has been able to offer free meals to any student who wants them for the majority of the pandemic, she said. However, she also gave praise to her staff at the five schools for the work they did to make it possible in some very trying times. “I felt proud of my staff, who have been working so diligently and so hard since March 2020 and who have taken on a lot of change, which has been very difficult. Things are constantly changing from school requirements, CDC requirements, and changes with students. It is almost every area. I was very excited for them to be recognized for all their work,” she said. In the October 2019 annual count, the division served a combined total of 33,806 breakfasts and lunches, according to the data provided by Crystal Crutchfield, school nutrition programs regional specialist for the Virginia Department of Education. By comparison, PCPS served 55,870 breakfasts and lunches as of October 2020, which was an increase of 22,064 meals. “Kudos to you and your team on these excellent numbers. Thank you for everything you all are doing to ensure that all Virginia students have access to free healthy meals during this unprecedented time,” Crutchfield said in an email to Sada Hill, PCPS food services compliance officer. While Hill is the one who submits the reports, she hadn’t actually done a side-by-side comparison of the two years’ meal counts like that, so she was surprised and happy when she received the email recognizing the division’s achievement. As a result of the emergency closing of schools in March 2020, the division was allowed under the federal waiver to operate the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) program, which it did until the end
of March, Hill said. Under this program, five breakfast and five lunch meals were prepared for distribution for parents to pick up weekly from Powhatan High, Powhatan Elementary, and Powhatan Middle schools. In April, again under the federal waiver, PCPS began to operate under the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which allowed the division to offer seven breakfast and seven lunch meals for distribution. “Operating under the SFSP and offering seven lunch/breakfast meals certainly helped increase the number of meals served. Additionally, the SFSP offers a higher reimbursement rate each meal served,” Hill said. For the first week of the 2020-2021 school year, the division reverted to normal rates under the National School Lunch Program, Hill said. Then the division was told that the federal government was extending the waiver again to allow those school divisions that did not qualify to continue offering students free meals under the Summer Food Service Program. The school division regularly sends out reminders of this free option to families to know it is still available and will remain so through the end of the school year, Hill said. “Every time we send a notice out we see that helps to increase the number of parents taking advantage of free meals for their children, regardless of their ability to pay,” Hill said. Kohler pointed out all of this has applied to students whether they are attending classes in person or virtually. The school division has pickup points on Wednesdays at Powhatan Middle School and Powhatan High School for virtual students and hybrid students who sign up for meals. They do about 190 meals on most Wednesdays, she said. “We have only missed one Wednesday since
March and that was over the New Year. Other than that, we have never missed a Wednesday to make sure that virtual students have it. My staff is just very diligent in making sure all students who are in need get a bag,” she said. Other than the meals
PLANNING spaces (one possibly a boutique market) along the frontage road, and behind that would be an area with 10 triplexes, which each two-story unit having its own entrance. The main entrance to the project is via the internal road, but the developers proposed a second right-in only entrance for delivery traffic to help separate it from the main customer and resident traffic. As an addition to one of the conditions on the project, planning commissioners asked at last week’s meeting that signage be placed at the second entrance to indicate that it is only supposed to be used for truck and delivery traffic. The developers agreed to the condition. The other issue the commission had to consider was the access management standards. While the proposed entrances meet spacing requirements relative to existing off-site entrances and even the standards set by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the dis-
tance between the new entrances does not meet local intersection spacing requirements. The proposed entrances within the project will be 235 feet apart, while Powhatan County requires that the entrances be spaced 440 feet apart, according to planning commission documents. The same document noted that there are positive aspects to having a second entrance: the separation of customer/resident and truck traffic; the newest version of the plan meets VDOT spacing requirements, and a posted 35 mph speed limit would reduce safety concerns. It also noted the negative aspect of creating an additional intersection on Old Buckingham Road. After voting to recommend the project, the planning commission had to vote on a waiver request for the project regarding local intersection spacing requirements. That vote also passed with the commissioners recommending the waiver 5-0. During the Feb. 2 presentation, Potter explained that the different elements of the Depot –
both the businesses and additional rental housing – would fill current needs in the county. The housing, in particular, would meet the needs of people who want to live in Powhatan without all of the responsibilities of homeownership. Although multi-unit housing has not been a popular proposition among many residents in recent years, no one spoke against it at the planning commission’s meeting. Other than Anderson, the only other related public comment was from Carl Schwendeman, who asked about the possibility of the county extending the sidewalks along Old Buckingham Road to connect the Depot project to the rest of the Village. To promote the walkability of the project, Potter had pointed out in February that 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.
And once this school year started, they have risen to the challenge of providing meals to students in different ways, depending on the schools and what the principals wanted and feedback from teachers, Kohler said. “The schools had to
boxes, Kohler said. The middle school has lunches delivered to the students, whether they are eating in their classrooms or they are sitting in the cafeteria. At the high school, students are allowed to go through the lunch line to get their food and they
can eat in the cafeteria at socially distanced desks, she said. They are the closest to “normal” since they can go through the lines, but the school had to switch over from selfservice, which youth that age prefer, to having cafeteria workers serve everything to them.

Powhatan County Public Schools saw a 165% increase in student meals from October 2019 to October 2020. One of the main drivers was free meals, but it was possible because of the hard work of cafeteria employees, including Suzanne Johnson, from top left; Yvonne Howell, Ricardo Gonzalez and Joann English; second row, Chakita Langhorne and Susan Liptak; Lisa Harris and Mary Smith, and bottom row, Sharon Brown.
being free, Kohler pointed out how much hard work it took on the part of the cafeteria staff to feed so many Powhatan students. Before the current school year, the staff, with help from volunteers, worked hard to put together the weekly food distributions for families, she said.

Vaccinations bring peace of mind to many By Laura McFarland Editor
The No. 1 emotion that has stood out to me in relation to COVID-19 vaccines is relief. The last few months, the issue of the vaccine has never been far away. In addition to covering local events here in Powhatan County, I have had so many conversations about vaccines with family and friends. See if any of these sound familiar. I have had conversations about: whether someone wants to get the vaccine; questioning the science behind them and the risks considering the “rushed job” in approving them; talking about the reasons they want to get the shots; discussing the impact they will have on our way of life depending on how many people get them and the general idea of herd immunity; sharing their frustration at not knowing how to find a vaccine clinic; or talking about their symptoms if they did manage to find one. And those topics are just the headliners; there are plenty more that have splintered off out of the bigger questions. Of course, I get the same questions a great deal. Have I been vaccinated? No, I have not been vaccinated yet because I am not in any of the groups that have been prioritized by the Centers for Disease Control and the Virginia Department of Health. Do I plan to get vaccinated? Yes. Unless something truly significant and alarming happens between now and when I am approved for a vaccine that changes my mind otherwise, I plan to get one. This is a personal choice and does not mean I judge people who have
chosen not to get the vaccine. When I have covered some of the vaccination clinics the county has sponsored in the last few months, I have fully understood the emotions people have shared with me about the relief that simple shot in the arm brought to them. Some shared the feelings of isolation they have experienced as they basically felt confined to their homes because of fear of exposure. Some shared the sadness at not being able to visit elderly or at-risk relatives in case they got them sick. Some talked about the hardships related to work or schoolwork. Some lamented the loss of all the things about normal life we all miss so much. Even if you don’t plan to get a vaccine, I would think most people would still understand how the possibility of higher projection might make people feel that a weight has been lifted from their shoulders, even if they still have to take precautions. In Powhatan County, one of the key people who deserves credit for helping increase that feeling of relief in people is Curt Nellis, the county’s emergency management coordinator. Since January, Curt has taken it upon himself to organize vaccination clinics that have helped thousands of people get their vaccinations without having to wait for the Chesterfield Health District or state efforts. He was not required to do these clinics; he is doing them because he and those helping him have the expertise and resources to help people and they are choosing to do so. Curt’s initial efforts focused on county employees and partner agencies, but, more recently, he has ex-
panded into clinics for non-employees who are in the high priority vaccination clinics. In addition to the larger vaccination clinics you may have read about in the Powhatan Today or heard about in the community, he also has worked with local churches and agencies to get shots in the arms of many of the county’s seniors and other vulnerable residents. Don’t misunderstand – Curt didn’t do it alone. He has had many, many volunteers from among county employees and community members. He also has been working with Emergency Services Solutions (ESS), which is administering the shots, to fine-tune the process so that they could get to the point where they are holding clinics for more than 1,000 people in a day. Are there still frustrations? Absolutely. The county shared a sign-up for a March 4 clinic that had 544 slots available. Registration opened at 8 a.m. on March 1 and, from the comments I saw on social media, all of the slots were filled up by 8:06 a.m. Some people said they were in the process of filling out the information to receive a slot and by the time they submitted it the space was already filled. I know many people are beyond frustrated by this process and so tired of not having a clear answer about how they can get signed up for a clinic, too. But at the end of the day, that was still 544 Powhatan residents (a requirement to sign up) who are hopefully better protected from COVID-19. For that, Curt, his volunteers, ESS, and the county deserve recognition for their fantastic efforts. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R A differing local opinion on the value of the landfill Dear Editor, In response to the letter titled “Landfill Issue May Be Exaggerated” in Powhatan Today March 3, 2021. It’s unfortunate that people speak without understanding the real issues this landfill presents. It’s not about a landfill per se, it’s about the location where the landfill is planned and whether the landfill is needed at all. The Department of Environmental Quality’s annual report indicates there is 23 years of capacity remaining for all landfills in Virginia. Their own parameters indicate that there is a 20-year threshold. No new landfill is needed above that number. The site of this landfill couldn’t be worse and begs the question whether it’s better to clean up the pollution created by such a project or to prevent it in the first place. The term “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” certainly applies to this project. All landfills leak, that’s a fact. The manufacturer of the liner that isolates that trash from the sub-soil is only warranted for 30 years and this, and any landfill, will last for millennia. There are literally hundreds of private water wells within a mile or two of the landfill all drawing their water from a shallow aquifer, making them prone to contamination. It is upgrade from the James River and in the river’s watershed, being only a few miles from the river where hundreds of thousands of residents in several counties get their drinking water. The landfill will sit on top of the largest seismic zone in

Virginia (recall the 2011 earthquake), it is directly adjacent to a national and state historic site making access to the site all but impossible and certainly unappealing. Lastly, the landfill is accessed by a rural two-lane roadway. This road, Route 60, has no shoulders and is a main east-west corridor for commercial and residential traffic. In fact, a VDOT study in 2016 indicated a three-mile section between Trenholm and Ballsville roads was ranked very high in traffic accidents and fatalities. The estimated 500 trash trucks and 60 tanker trucks per day traveling in a 12-hour window presents a real challenge for safety and quality of life for residents in Cumberland and Powhatan counties. In summary, any landfill should be located in an industrial area with close access to an interstate highway, railroad or waterway for barge access, not in a rural community with limited access and with the likelihood of creating pollution and risking the health of thousands of residents.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” - Matthew 22:37-40 When I first read these words, I discounted them as I grew up in church, and have heard them over and over again. Upon some reflection, I thought of how these words are valuable to all - whether you’re a believer or not. My hope is that we learn to look at the world and our lives a little differently. Imagine a world where we place love above anything else. Love encompasses all. Love teaches us to always apply the golden rule. Love teaches us to show compassion. Love teaches us to first seek to understand, and assume positive intent. Love teaches us to embrace our differences – showing kindness and value through learning. The value of love is infinite and when we apply love, I truly believe we will all be happier and more satisfied in and through life. While 2020 is behind us, the baggage we carry from all that we experienced has led the discourse to remain. All the while we have a choice, to unite and look at one another, first with loving eyes. With our differences set aside, with love and compassion we can accomplish more in and through life with our friends and foe. Sarah Koch Powhatan County

CRIME BRIEF A Powhatan County man was sentenced to five years in prison last week after pleading guilty to using an electronic communication device to solicit a minor. On Monday, March 1, Robert Wesley Brizendine, 55, pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement in Powhatan County Circuit Court, according to Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney. Brizendine faced two counts of using an electronic communication device to solicit a minor, each of which carried a minimum five-year sentence. As part of the plea agreement, the Commonwealth agreed to ask the court not to prosecute the second charge. Circuit Court Judge Paul Cella accepted the plea agreement and sentenced Brizendine to 10 years with five years suspended. He also has to be placed on
Virginia’s sex offender registry. The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office began to build a case against Brizendine on Oct. 21, 2020, when he sent a message to a Facebook page that BRIZENDINE was monitored by an undercover deputy posing as a 14-year-old boy, Cerullo said. The investigator contacted him back, and, during messages sent between the defendant and the deputy over

on Thursday, March 4, and Moslow couldn’t be more thrilled. The moment was something she has dreamed about since she started the clinic in 2008. “I am excited. I can’t wait to see our patients when they come in here. This is so different than what they have had,” Moslow said two days before opening day. “A lot of work went into making this a patient clinic. A lot of thought with our builders, our architects, our designers – all of it was
about our patients and our volunteers.” Other than its initial seven months as part of a Bon Secours caravan, the Free Clinic had spent the rest of its existence up until now using several rooms in the Powhatan County Health Department. While the Free Clinic always appreciated the space the county let it use, it had long outgrown it, making it a struggle to offer the services and environment they wanted to bring to clients, Moslow said. “I am not going to miss the space but I will miss
the people from the health department and what we accomplished there. It was our home for 13 years and we helped a lot of people there in 13 years,” she said. The clinic helped its last patient in its old location on Feb. 25, she said. Now a new chapter is beginning, and the capacity to assist those in need will be even greater because of the increased facilities. The new 3,300-squarefoot clinic includes a waiting room, two registration rooms, a dental unit with two dental chairs, a doctor and nurse station, a lab
room, two mental health rooms, and two examining rooms that will serve patients. The space also includes three offices, a food and personal items pantry, a small kitchen, and a conference room. Upstairs is being used for additional storage and a back patio is being outfitted to allow staff and volunteers a space to take breaks. While the main clinic is now open, the dental clinic is still about six to eight weeks from launching because of training and backordered dental equipment, Moslow said.
several days, the officer stated multiple times in different ways that he was a minor. “The investigator went above and beyond what was necessary to establish that you are soliciting a juvenile just to see what he would do – to make sure it wasn’t a mistake or there was no question that he thought this was an adult,” Cerullo said. Brizendine did not cease communication and instead both solicited and sent inappropriate materials from what he believed to be a minor, Cerullo said. The investigator was able to identify that the suspect’s computer was located in Powhatan and further investigation led to identifying Brizendine as a possible suspect, Cerullo said. The deputy messaged Brizendine to set up a meeting on Oct. 28, at which point he was arrested.
In the meantime, patients are still being served through the dental program with Goochland Cares and at local dental offices. The dental program operating in-house along with an expansion of hours and services will increase the Free Clinic’s annual operating budget a minimum of $200,000 a year. But thanks to the clinic’s ongoing $2 million capital campaign, it is debt free with the building, Moslow said. “Financially we could have moved out sooner if we wanted to go into debt. But we never had debt and we wanted to wait until we could be part of a county facility and it has worked out very well,” she said. Moslow was ecstatic to see the reactions of some of the first patients to come through the clinic’s new doors on March 4, and said patients, volunteers, and staff members were overwhelmingly positive about the new location. The first patient on March 4, Charles Brin-
kley, described the clinic as beautiful. All of the patients scheduled to be seen on opening day received a Starbucks giftcard and a plant. Bettsy Maeda, another patient, said she really liked the new space. “It looks beautiful – a really nice place,” she said. Diane Daniels, who has been a volunteer with the clinic for nine years and is the Access Now coordinator, said being in the new building felt unreal and that she can’t believe they are there. Sharon Alexander Feggins, who has worked for the clinic for eight years and is the patient case manager, simply said, “Wow! Connie knew just what the community needed.” Betsy Blanford, who has been a volunteer for one year and is the clinic volunteer coordinator, said, “It is a joy to see this resource to the community.” For more information about the Free Clinic of Powhatan, call 804-5985637.

Soccer standout Sloan has committed to UVA
Special Correspondent Ball security was an issue for both the Manchester Lancers and Powhatan Indians on March 5 at James W. Woodson Stadium, beginning with the opening snap of the game when the Lancers fumbled the snap for a large loss. Unfortunately for the Indians, the turnover bug bit them harder, and at the worst possible time, in a 28-23 defeat. “It’s a tough loss to take,” Powhatan head coach Mike Henderson said. “It’s a heartbreaking loss against a good football team. We turned the ball over four times in about a 12-minute period. When you do that against a team as good as them, you’re not going to win. We’ll have to clean that up.” Manchester’s Ramon Brown scored the first of his three touchdowns on Manchester’s opening drive, but the opening turnover also went to Manchester as Chase Gayness snagged an inter-

But his family wanted to try a sport that would burn off energy, and T-ball seemed like it was going to be too easy, Parker recalled.

Powhatan sweeps week, beats Bird on Senior Night By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN -- The night had arrived. After all of the doubt initially cast by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Nuckols was able to not only play with her teammates, and in front of her family, in Powhatan High School’s gymnasium for the varsity volleyball team’s first home match of the season, but she and her senior teammates Natalie Mueller and Kenzie Urbine also got to celebrate their Senior Night together. Add in a straight-sets victory, and what more could a student-athlete ask for? That night also happened to be her 18th birthday. Nuckols added one more gift for her-
self - a strong performance on the court with 6 kills - to help her team sweep L.C. Bird 25-6, 25-11, 25-6. “It was really fun, seeing everybody on my birthday and getting to do Senior Night on my birthday,” Nuckols said. “It’s fun to see everybody again after last year.” “It’s huge...I’ll be honest as a coach, we’re still kind of in that shock-and-awe, we’re-actually-having-a-season mode, because we didn’t know for sure,” Powhatan head coach Cindy Bryant said of the Senior Night win and the team’s 2-0 start to the season. “We are really trying to focus on gratitude as a team, on how NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY gratitude affects our play, and so: gratitude for having a season; gratitude for all Powhatan High School seniors Julia Nuckols (from left), Natalie Mueller and of the people that have worked hard to Kenzie Urbine stand with head varsity volleyball coach Cindy Bryant on their see VOLLEYBALL, pg. 2B

down at full speed against a bunch of people...it’s hard to describe, but that’s what’s really just stuck with me, and I love it.” More than a decade later, the Powhatan High School junior has committed to attending and playing for the University of Virginia, featuring one of the premiere Division I men’s soccer programs in the country. It’s a school he’s loved and followed for a long time. Parker, whose mom had gone to UVA, grew up with the school being a major part of his life. He watched the Cavaliers play in the NCAA Division I national quarterfinals two years ago. He recalled the year when they won the men’s soccer national championship: 2014. He went and saw that game, too. He’s wanted to be a Wahoo ever since he was able to play soccer. And when he really started getting serious about playing, he set his sights on making it as far as he could in the sport that he loves. But he and his family didn’t know what was going to happen; the NCAA Division I deadlines for recruiting kept getting pushed back; recruits couldn’t come out to games, and multiple showcases and tournaments ended up getting cancelled because of the pandemic. They were nervous since junior year is a big recruiting year, but they were able to get some film together and send it in along with his grades. He got an email back, asking for a phone call. “It’s so surreal,” Parker said. “It’s my dream school. It’s been the school I wanted to go to, and the fact that it’s reality - I’ve verbally committed, and if I keep my grades up, that is my school. I can become a Wahoo. “I still get butterflies, I get excited just thinking about it,” Parker said, “because I can run the phone call through my head all the time.” Parker recalled how the coach described the team as a family. He was also impressed by the players he had gotten to speak to in the past.
“They’re very well-spoken. They’re nice men,” Parker said. “They have great character, and the coaches have a great sense of what they want to accomplish.” He recalled one of the players telling him that, “Day 1, they hunt for national championships; they go for it.” “I want to be in an atmosphere where, from Day 1, we’re hunting to win championships,” Parker said. “We’re hunting to win one game at a time.” He also spoke to clicking with assistant coach Adam Perron. “I really, really enjoyed talking to him, just because he tried to come down, get on my level, talked me through everything, took it very slow,” Parker said, “and I really appreciated that.’ On top of everything, UVA fits his caPHOTOS COURTESY PARKER SLOAN reer aspirations.

to the COVID-19 pandemic, Greenhow unleashed a scorching time of 6.38 to win the Class 4 state boys 55-meter dash, then pulled away from his competitors to capture the title in the 300 in 34.54. “Hard work pays off,” said Greenhow, who earlier this school year signed to attend and run track for the University of South Carolina. “It definitely does. I worked hard during this season. Not a lot of people come to a state meet and come in first in more than one race, so to do that, it’s really exciting, and I’m ready for outdoor.” Greenhow became Powhatan High School’s first track and field athlete to win a state title, let alone two. He’s the school’s first state champion since J.D. McMillin won the 120-pound Class 4 state wrestling title in 2019, and he’s also the school’s first student-athlete to win multiple state championships since current Virginia Tech wrestler Collin Gerardi became a four-time champion his senior year in 2018. Both victories were major bounceback efforts for Greenhow, who last year was projected to win the 55 at states, but false-started in that event, and then finished runner-up in the 300 to Courtland’s Matthew Spicer, now the state meet’s record holder in that event (34.1), by a narrow 0.1 of a second. “This year I had to make a statement,” Greenhow said. “I was like: you know what? I’m tired of losing. I’m tired of coming in second place all the time.” He was also coming back from a hamstring injury all season. “I hadn’t been running my best earlier this season,” he said, “so I just had to

help us have a season.” All three seniors stood out in Thursday’s home win over the Skyhawks, as Kenzie Urbine served for 15 straight points in the first set, served for 13 straight in the third, had 4 kills and totaled 25 service aces. Natalie Mueller, who was one of Powhatan’s main setters on Thursday, racked up 20 assists and chipped in 4 kills and 3 aces. Bryant praised Mueller for having great senior leadership. “We rely on Natalie heavily on our team,” Bryant said. “She is what we like

Powhatan’s Anthony Greenhow (center) runs in the state 300-meter dash.
show out during states.” He was on familiar ground, too. He had run at Liberty University several times last year and the year before, so he wasn’t nervous about the track. “I was worried about how I needed to run - and relax,” he said, “and just execute my races.” Greenhow had qualified for the state meet’s 55 by finishing third in the previous Tuesday’s Class 4, Region B meet, held outdoors at Louisa County High School, with a time of 6.74. The Region 4B champion, Patrick Henry sophomore Shamar Williams, improved from a 6.56 title-winning time at regionals to 6.52 in the state dash. But Williams this time finished second to Greenhow, who slashed 0.36 of a second off of his own regional time to not just win the state title in the 55, but also set the new school record and finish just
0.01 of a second shy of the Class 4 state meet record, held by Blacksburg’s Cole Beck (6.37). “The 55 was the race that I was more nervous and worried about,” Greenhow said, but he added: “I didn’t let my nerves get to me. I did what I needed to do. I’m proud of myself for running a 6.38.” That time as of Monday evening is the fastest time run across all six of Virginia High School League’s state divisions in the 55, as well as the event’s seventh fastest time in the country. Greenhow was confident he would have set the new meet record in the 300 this year, but the entire field’s momentum was interrupted when the runners were recalled to their starting positions. Greenhow was rounding onto the front stretch when multiple shots sounded to signify the recall.
to call our thermostat on our team: she sets the tone for us, she sets the temperature for our team, and when we’re in a lull, or high or low, she kind of helps bring us back to that place we need to be, and so it’s really, really fun. We rely on her for that a lot - and add that with her well-roundedness in every skill.” Mueller is also taking on the role of second setter in the 6-2 offense this year. “She’s doing it for her team,” Bryant said. “That speaks to...again, her team mentality.” Kenzie Urbine, Bryant said, is always steady. “She doesn’t go high or low on emotion - she just kind of stays nice and steady,” said Bryant, who praised Urbine’s reliable skill. “We can count on
her, and just a nice teammate.” For Julia Nuckols, Bryant and the team were excited that she was able to take a major role on the court on Thursday, and they’re excited to have all three seniors as part of the team. Newcomer Carly Rehme led Powhatan with 7 kills. “It was fun to be able to get everybody on the court; we had some younger sophomores who were able to get out there and get them the last set out there,” Bryant said, “and they’re pushing. They’re pushing us. They’re pushing for playing time, and it’s going to be fun.” “I really like this year’s team because there’s a lot of younger girls,” Nuckols said, “and it’s just really fun that everyone’s getting along really well.”
“It happens all the time - clocks get messed up, people false-start, so you get more than one chance, but...after that first whistle, you lose a lot of energy. About the first seven seconds of energy, you can’t get back,” Greenhow said. “After that...I had to calm myself as much as possible, even though it wasn’t all down to 0 percent, but: relax, and just try to execute the same start I did the first time.” Despite the reset, he had emerged into a clear lead by the time he reached the backstretch, and he finished the race 1.73 seconds ahead of runner-up Lorenzo Camobreco. Greenhow’s time in the 300 was also the ninth fastest in the nation as of Monday evening. The Powhatan boys track and field team, despite only having one runner present in Greenhow, finished eighth out of the 27 schools that earned points in the Class 4 boys state meet. Pulaski County won the boys title. Greenhow, his dad and his coach Keilah Tyson are excited going into the outdoor track and field season later this spring. “We’re really excited about the 100-meter and the 200-meter,” Greenhow said. In addition to going for the state titles, his goals include running the 100 in the 10.30’s and the 200 in the 20’s or low 21’s this upcoming season. Greenhow will run the 200 in the AAU national championships, which will be held Friday, March 12 in Virginia Beach. In the girls state championships, Powhatan freshman Mayson Jenkins, who was a regional runner-up in the 500-meter dash, took ninth in the state event but improved upon her regional time with a run of 1:28.51. Prior to its win on Thursday, Powhatan opened the season on the road with a 3-1 victory over Clover Hill. The team stuck to its 2020-21 season’s theme word of “resilient” as it bounced back from a rough second set to close out the match with victories in the third and fourth sets. A challenging week on the road awaits Powhatan as it will head to Cosby on Tuesday and Manchester on Thursday. Both varsity matches are at 7 p.m. “We’ve got a tough week coming, and we’re looking forward to prepping for that,” Bryant said, “and, again, just showing the Dominion District that we’re back, and we’re strong, and we’re not going anywhere.”

Knights rally, but Halifax Academy holds on By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor In comparison to Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, visiting Halifax Academy had more size. It had more depth. It also had a 26-0 lead over the Knights with more than 7 minutes to play in the second quarter. None of that kept BSH out of the hunt. A relentless defensive effort, a strong passing game in the second half and quarterback Zander Nadeau’s versatility catapulted the Knights back into the contest on 21 unanswered points. Add in a key fumble, and BSH was driving within the final 2 minutes of the game, having reached the visitors’ 18-yard line with a chance to take back the lead. But the Knights turned the ball over on a fumble, and Halifax Academy, helped by both its fast start to the game and the Knights’ early turnovers, held off BSH to win it 26-21. BSH head coach Gary Brock, however, was really proud of his players for coming back. “I feel like we’re in better shape than a lot of the teams that we play, and I think it showed right there at the end,” Brock said. “I think we acquitted ourselves pretty well overall, but...we’ve just got to correct those mistakes.” BSH junior and quarterback Zander Nadeau rushed for 107 yards and 2 touchdowns on 13 carries and passed for 107 more yards, a touchdown to Josh Decker, and an interception. Harrison Lee was in on six tackles, including one for loss, and also forced a fumble. Gage Smith also had six tackles. David Mann had five including one for loss, and Decker had four and forced a fumble. Mann, Decker, Zach Miles, and Garrett Musselman contributed to the team’s multiple fumble recoveries in the game. The two teams collectively turned the ball over five times in the first half. Halifax Academy recovered its own gameopening kickoff, which was an onside

kick, but a couple plays later, Decker captured a fumble to put his offense on the field. But BSH would ultimately punt the ball away. After the visitors capped the ensuing run-heavy drive with a 19-yard scoring burst from Ayden Woodall, the Knights gave up an interception on a short pass to Heath Williams, who quickly found open space and returned the pick for a touchdown. After Cody Dickens capped another run-powered drive from the visitors with a goal-line rush, Halifax recovered a Knights fumble after BSH had driven to the opponents’ 16 and moved the chains again before Braxton Hammock scored from 4 yards out with 7:38 to play in the half. BSH, however, recovered another onside kick at the Halifax 48, and the run game picked up steam with Nadeau punching the ball across the line on a 5-yard run. With Halifax Academy’s size advantage making it tough for them to run the ball overall, the Knights turned to their passing game. “We’re coming along with that; today was the first day we had the chance to
really see what we could do there,” Brock said, adding: “We’ve got some young guys; the (passes) that they dropped today, they’ll catch the next time around, because they’ll be a little bit smarter. “Sometimes you’re able to run the ball a little bit; sometimes, you’re able to throw it, and today, we had the opportunity to throw it some,” Brock said. “I think, as a result of it, if we pull one thing away from it, we’re going to be a better passing team than what we were before, so we can mix that in with it, too.” Nadeau also stayed versatile, as he was still able to scramble out of the pocket late in the game. After the visitors late in the third quarter turned the ball over on downs at their own 34 yard line - with the Knights pushing them backwards on a tackle for loss - Nadeau, in a four-play span rushed for 11 yards, connected with tight end David Mann for an 8-yard gain, and hit the right edge early in the fourth quarter to zoom past the defensive backfield and make it a two-score game. Nadeau and his offense soon capitalized on another key defensive stop.
Harrison Lee had a tackle for loss, and Hunter Case deflected a pass after Musselman pressured the quarterback to force fourth down. The visitors’ short punt landed on their own 39, and Nadeau in the drive rushed for 27 yards before finding Josh Decker in the end zone on an 8-yard pass, making it a one-possession contest in the fourth quarter. “He’s getting better as it goes along; he’s getting to where he understands the passing game where: if it’s open, and I can run, I’m going to run,” Brock said of Nadeau. “He’s done a good job...he found the open receiver most of the time. We had a few drops in there that should’ve been caught, but...he’s moving along. He’s doing much better.” Brock also praised the kicking game; Jackson Hawkins was strong on kickoffs overall, and he made all three of his PAT kicks to help make it so that, if the Knights were to have scored again on a touchdown, they would have taken the lead. The Knights would get that chance when Halifax fumbled at the end of a run play up the middle, and the home team got a hold of the ball at the visitors’ 36. Nadeau halved that overall distance to the goal with an 18-yard rush, but the Knight’s following fumble gave the visitors the ball at their 41 with less than 2 minutes to play. Halifax went to work from there to run the clock down to zero. Taking better care of the football is among the Knights’ goals as they continue their short 2020-21 season. They’ll get to play under the Friday night lights again this coming weekend as they take on rival Fuqua in a 5:30 p.m. matchup on the road. “When you just say Fuqua, it’s a special week. It really is,” Brock said. “I know Coach (Benjamin) Manis and I know basically what he does, and he sure knows what we do, having played against each other for so long. It’ll just be I think a knockdown slobberknocker Friday night.”
Field hockey unit grows, adjusts in opening week By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor MIDLOTHIAN -- Powhatan’s young field hockey team continued to grow and adjust in its opening week as it took on two tough district opponents, and although it’s still looking for its first win of the season after both contests, the unit is taking momentum from how well it played Midlothian on Monday, its standout fourth-quarter performance against Monacan on Wednesday and the adjustments that the team made overall into this coming week’s games. “These girls haven’t worked with each other a lot, and we’re still learning some new positions, and we’ll continue to do that,” said Powhatan field hockey coach Caryn Rehme. “We’ll use that momentum of making the adjustments these first two games and go into next week and feel pretty confident with the adjustments.” Rehme noted that Monday’s 4-0 setback to the Trojans was much closer than the scoreboard indicated. While
they worked on some defense following the game on Tuesday, Rehme said that it was not a one-sided game, but very much a midfield game, and the Trojans didn’t have many corners on Powhatan. “I felt like we moved to the ball pretty well,” Rehme added. “I felt like our speed was good that game.” And while she noted that the team was a little flatter in the start of Wednesday’s game against Monacan, the Indians made adjustments, changed up the lineup as the game progressed, and put together their best quarter of the season so far in the fourth stanza. That’s when Powhatan immediately responded to the Chiefs’ second goal of NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY the game with a short-distance scoring Powhatan’s Lexie Campbell embraces Joy Johnson (17) as they and strike delivered by Jordan Krauss.

ception off of Lancers quarterback Cody Shelton and returned it 55 yards to tie the game at 7-7. Manchester answered immediately with a scoring drive capped by a 15-yard touchdown pass from Shelton to Eric Smith to make it a 14-7 Lancers lead. Early in the second quarter, Manchester was poised to take advantage of a personal foul penalty that kept its drive alive, but back-to-back incompletions and a Gayness 11-yard sack stopped the Lancers and gave the ball back to the Indians. Powhatan took advantage as Aaron Nash took a handoff for 43 yards to ignite a spark in the Indians offense. The drive continued methodically through Lancers territory and culminated in Hans Rehme taking a fourth-andgoal snap into the end zone for the tying touchdown. “I felt like we moved the ball

well enough,” Henderson said. “We want to be methodical and take our shots.” The Indians got the ball in the second half and took advantage of back-to-back miscues by the Lancers on the second-half kickoff to start their drive at the Lancers’ 41. They marched down the field, keyed by a 21-yard run from Mitchell Johnson when he scooped up a fumbled handoff and was still able to get through the Manchester defense.
But the drive stalled in the red zone, and the Indians ultimately kicked a 30-yard field goal. Manchester was unable to do anything on its first drive of the second half and punted back to the Indians. However, the ball went right back to Manchester as the Lancers picked off Rehme and returned it deep into Powhatan territory. It took just one play for Brown to run it in from 17 yards out for a 21-17 Manchester
lead. Following Brown’s third touchdown that made it 28-17, the Lancers recovered a Powhatan fumble, but the Indians’ defense held and forced a punt. The Indians sputtered on three straight downs, but Fisher Hamersley was able to get behind the Lancers secondary, and Rehme hit him for a 55-yard touchdown pass to bring the Indians within a score, 28-23, after a failed two-point conversion. Just two plays later, Man-
chester’s Ben Kelly lost the ball in the backfield with 1:30 left in the game and Powhatan’s Zach Karanian jumped on the ball, giving the Indians a late-game chance. But it was not meant to be, as, on the very next play, the Lancers picked off Rehme for the third time in the game to seal the win. The game was also Powhatan’s annual Senior Night celebration, honoring seniors Ben Allanson, Aaron Nash, Tye Morris, Keyon Bethea, JaySun Carroll, Hayden Fitzsimmons, Anthony Bastiansen, Luke Beaty, Mason Hathaway, Neco Jackson, Bradey Lindhjem and Micah Holt. “We have great leadership with those guys,” Henderson said of Powhatan’s seniors. “They’re also a really talented group of individuals. As a group, with me coming in last year, they bought in to what we were trying to do. I’m really proud of them for accepting me as their coach and buying in.” Powhatan returns to action on March 12 at Clover Hill.
