County makes efforts on broadband expansion By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – Powhatan County is expected to substantially increase broadband connections for its residents to build on recent victories, but the level of connections that may be possible is dependent on some upcoming news. The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors held a workshop on Tuesday, March 23 focused entirely on broadband initiatives, which included one currently underway and other options being explored to make more progress in increasing connections in the county. The biggest update came from Firefly Broadband, which the county has been partnering with on efforts to increase connectivity in the Western end of Powhatan. Several plans were laid out that
show how the county could work toward bringing those connections. The board also heard an update on the progress made by Hosted Backbone LLC to lay infrastructure in a county-led broadband project and Port 80, an internet provider, to hook up customers. At the end of the presentations, the board members expressed appreciation to the internet providers and excitement about the projects they described. Bill Cox, who represents District 4, said it is “daunting still but exciting to feel like we are actually beginning to move.” “All we found were barriers for so many years. Everywhere where we turned was another barrier or a failure or a defeat,” he said. Mike Byerly, District 3, reaffirmed the board of supervisors’ commitment to bringing broadband to unserved residents
and thanked the internet providers for helping them accomplish that mission. However, he clarified that while the board will do the best it can do, “all we can do is the best we can do. We don’t control everything that happens, but we are going to put our best foot forward collectively as a board.”
Firefly Broadband Firefly Broadband is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central Virginia Electric Cooperative that was formed in 2018 to address the very real need they saw for people to have broadband access, said Gary Wood, Firefly president and CEO.

School board adopts budget amid concerns about salary compression By Laura McFarland Editor
mon practice. If the county comes back with a figure that is less than the school board proposed, Jones said he would still recommend moving ahead with one of the school board’s main focuses in this budget cycle – employee compensation. Jones’ recommended budget includes a 5% salary increase for all employees as well as $127,183 to address salary compression for teachers, particularly those in steps 22 and above, which relates to their years of experience. For the last few meetings, the board discussed salary compression among its longestserving teachers, whose positions earn less now than an employee in the same position earned in 2008. With the 5% plus targeted raises for compression pay, those impacted

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board voted unanimously last week to pass its fiscal year (FY) 2022 budget, sending it on to the board of supervisors for its approval. Following an intense discussion at the school board meeting on Tuesday, March 23, the members voted in two 5-0 votes to approve the operating budget at $50.55 million and the school food service budget at $1.43 million. While the budget discussion started with a brief look at numbers regarding salary increases, it quickly morphed into a dialogue about intentions versus following through on promises. A few main topics dominated the
conversation, starting with Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, suggesting the school board approve the budget as he proposed despite knowing the figures may not match up with the version suggested by county administrator Ned Smither. During a joint meeting with the board of supervisors on March 16, Smither proposed the school budget at $50.34 million, which represented a difference of $214,139 less in the county transfer. Jones said last week that in discussions with Smither, the latter said the difference in the budget figures will likely be narrowed. Jones recommended the school board approve its budget, which has to be done by April 1, and then continue to work on it as they get more information from the county, state, and federal governments, adding it is com-

During the March 9 meeting of the Powhatan County School Board, the members honored the 2020-2021 Teachers of the Year. In May 2020, during the mandatory closure of schools by Governor Ralph Northam, Powhatan County Public Schools recognized and honored five school-based Teachers of the Year and the Powhatan County Public Schools Teacher of the Year. At the March 9 meeting, the division publicly recognized and congratulated these individuals for their hard work and dedication to their students and the profession. Shown from left are Lauren Ayers, PCPS Teacher of the Year and Flat Rock Teacher of the Year; Mary Ayers, Powhatan Elementary Teacher of the Year; Cindy Barnes, Pocahontas Elementary Teacher of the Year, and Amanda Wilson, Powhatan High School Teacher of the Year.

Powhatan County Animal Control started a new Powhatan Pet Pantry located at the shelter at 4000 Old Plantation Road. The pet pantry has food, treats, leashes, collars, and other miscellaneous items. If residents or their pets are in need of something, they are invited to come by and get it but are asked not to take more than they need. The public can donate items as well. If you do want to donate make sure the item is not open or extremely worn out. The shelter will replenish items as it can but cannot guarantee certain items will be available on a weekly basis. The Powhatan Pet Pantry cannot accept prescribed medicines or food. Animal control is not responsible for checking dates, reactions, or freshness of food items but staff members will do their best to go through all items.

Meoww Everyone. My name is Nimbus, and I was picked up by the kind people at Animal Control because I wasn’t feeling so well. I was taken to the vet and treated for a respiratory infection, Goodness it feels so good to be able to breathe through my nose again, and to smell my delicious food. I am such a sweet boy, I love to Nimbus play with my toys (That cat nip really gets me going), and love to lay on the desk while the staff is trying to do work, but they are okay with it, because I give them lots of snuggles and kisses all the while getting lots of love and pets. I know someone out there is looking for that purrfect Kitty to add to their family, Well Look no longer, Here I am. Please call 804-598-5672 and the staff will be happy to assist you in scheduling an appointment to meet me. Until then I will just keep playing with my toys and of course napping. Hope to see you soon.

who represents District 5, David Williams, District 1, and Mike Byerly, District 3, voted in favor of the rezoning with a few proffered conditions. Bill Cox, District 4, voted against it. However, when the board subsequently took a vote to approve an access management waiver for internal entrances on the project, the board was unanimous in its approval. The project, called the Depot at Fighting Creek, will include 30 attached residential rental units and approximately 26,000 square feet of commercial/ retail space in the Courthouse Village area. The property 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 a presentation outlining the parameters of the project and why they feel it is needed in the county. The presentation was followed by a public hearing that included six speakers. Despite the pushback some recent projects with higher density of housing have received, only two of the people who spoke during the public hearing were actively against the rezoning. Two people were actively for it, one person was upset more Village residents were not sent notification about the neighborhood meeting, and one person was looking for possibilities of connecting the sidewalk that will surround the project to the sidewalks that end at Mann Road. Sidewalks became one
of the key issues in the passing of the rezoning. During the discussion, the board asked questions about the project’s two entrances; buffers provided both inside and along the exterior of the project; the management of the property and its potential employment opportunities; the property’s designation in the 2019 Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map, and extending the sidewalk system. The latter issue saw Byerly negotiating with the developers to get them to agree to either pay $4,000 per unit in proffers ($120,000 total) toward building a sidewalk connecting the project to Mann Road or building it themselves. This is in addition to the developers’ earlier offer to extend its sidewalks via a nature trail that they would construct on county

land, connecting the development to Fighting Creek Park. The project also features a walking trail around its entire perimeter.
Project parameters Other than added proffers regarding the sidewalks and buffers on the project, not much changed about the Depot at Fighting Creek from when the planning commission unanimously recommended approving it on March 2. The development will consist of three one-story retail buildings near the frontage road along Old Buckingham Road and 10 triplexes with each twostory unit having its own entrance. The project is split into two parking lots divided by an internal road. In one parking lot will be a hardware store, outdoor space for seasonal displays, and a retention pond. The other will have two retail spaces along the frontage road and the residential units behind that. Potter mentioned one commercial space has potential as a boutique market and the other, while it doesn’t have a concrete use yet, is being designed with drive-thru capability. Smith showed floor plans of the triplexes, which have two bedrooms with an option for a third on one unit only per building. They would average about 1,200 square feet per two-bedroom unit. The housing is intended as rental property and will meet a need of more residential rental space in the county, Potter said. Although obviously reluctant to share a rental rate at this early point, when pressed, he said it might be around $1,500 a month, but that could change. Potter stressed the project’s adherence to the guidance of the comprehensive plan, both in the way the land is designated on the Future Land Use Map and the descriptions of allowed uses. Although located on
Old Buckingham Road, the Depot will be visible from Anderson Highway. But Potter called this a positive, saying the project could act as a “billboard” to help market the Village area. The project has one central road with sidewalks on either side and a separate right-in only entrance specifically designed for large delivery trucks to have an easier and safer access point. The distance between the main entrance and the second entrance is 235 feet, which is significantly less than the minimum access management spacing requirements of 440 feet. The developers sought and received a waiver for the second entrance in a unanimous vote. Potter pointed out the entrances will share a turn lane and the road at that point has a 35 mph speed limit, which combines to lessen the risk for drivers. Smith addressed major concerns the developers have heard, such as too much available retail space in Powhatan, which he argued against. He also addressed people not wanting apartments in Powhatan. Many people think of apartments as large complexes instead of the small three-unit buildings the Depot will offer, he said. The developers said the walking trails around the property and social areas within the residential area will give it a small community feel.
Board comments The board had numerous questions for the developers – some that just gathered information and some that resulted in changes. Carmack expressed concerns about screening that would make the view from the residential units nicer, while Williams was especially concerned about hiding the drive-thru on one of the buildings. After resident Carl Schwendeman asked the board to consider extend-

ing the sidewalks during the public hearing, Byerly brought up the issue during the discussion and asked if the developers were willing to play a role in making that happen. The board took a break from the case to give the developers and staff members time to talk about these issues and see if they could come up with agreeable language. Potter and Smith agreed to screening and buffer options to address the areas where Carmack and Williams expressed concern. They also agreed to proffer either giving $3,000 per residential unit to be used toward building a sidewalk from their project to Mann Road or to build it themselves. According to the proffer, the cash proffer will be offered prior to certificates of occupancy for the residential units. In lieu of offering a cash payment, the developers may choose to construct a 5-foot-wide sidewalk within 12 months of issue of the final certificate of occupancy within the project or two years of site plan approval, whichever comes first. During discussion, Byerly asked for another $1,000 per unit toward the sidewalk, bringing the total to $4,000 for each units, which the developers agreed to proffer. They also agreed to denser vegetation for buffers. Before voting against the project, Cox explained that he and Potter disagree in their visions for what Powhatan needs and what local residents want. Cox said he didn’t see the project as a Village Center, as described by the comprehensive plan, calling it an “apartment complex with three out parcels.” While a small complex, it is not the size and scale of project he said he or the residents who elected him want to see in District 4. “It is precisely the kind of thing that has raised a lot of questions in this commu-

nity and has a lot of people interested and agitated and some who like it,” Cox said. To the point Cox made about the project not being his idea of a Village Center, Carmack said that the board has unanimously approved five rezoning cases to Village Center or Village Center Planned Development, including the joint transportation facility and the Erin Hill project, and none of which fully met the exact parameters of the land designations.

and Paxton/Patterson, the Program Excellence Award is one of the highest honors given to technology and engineering education programs in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the profession and students. The award provides public recognition at the local/state through international levels. The Program Excellence Award program is designed to recognize superior K-12 technology and engineering education programs from around the world. These award-winning programs serve as a standard for comparison and models for the development of other programs. Therefore, it is essential that each program selected and recognized reflects contemporary technology engineering education. Awardees serve as models for their colleagues, inspiration to their communities, and leaders in their region, province, or state as proponents of advancing technological literacy for all. Dr. Philip A. Reed, ITEEA president, shared, “The award winners exhibit so many high-quality programs and activities occurring globally in technology and engineering education! It is inspiring to learn from these leaders, and we should all feel proud to be connected with these colleagues.” In addition to the divisionwide recognition Barbara Adcock, instructional STEM coach, learned during the closing session that she had been honored with the ITEEA Elementary STEM Council Mary Margaret Scobey Award. In announcing the award, Thomas Roberts, the council’s president, highlighted some of her accomplishments, including being a recipient of the Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching; being a dedicated employee with PCPS since 1988; her instrumental role in founding and building Powhatan’s STEM program, and her involvement in local, state, and national organizations to further STEM education. Adcock said she didn’t know anything about the award or that she was being considered for it until her name was announced

“Personally speaking, when I campaigned, I told people that I think there is an appropriate scale and location for higher density housing. One is the Village and the other is down at 288 and 711,” she said. “Personally I think this is a great project. It is the exact scale I personally am looking for, it has a commercial component to it, and the reality is Mr. Potter does good work. He has historically done good work. I have liked all of the projects he has put forth, and he has, I think, personally changed the face of the Village with his projects.” during the ceremony. She added she was amazed by it, especially after seeing the names of people who have received it previously. “I’m grateful to PCPS for allowing STEM to flourish. STEM in our county has always been a team effort, and being a piece of it has been a blessing for me,” she said. Powhatan’s science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) program was first honored last summer when it was named the Virginia Technology and Engineering Education Association (VTEEA) 2020 Elementary Program of the Year. Winning the 2020 award at the state level qualified Powhatan’s program to be submitted to ITEEA for review for its 2021 Program of the Year. Winning the award was based not on a few activities or a few outstanding teachers but on the entire division’s dedication to creating opportunities to engage students in STEM education, Adcock had said previously. Adcock said she is proud of Powhatan teachers, especially the “early adopters” and those who stepped out of their comfort zones to provide students with strong foundations in engineering and technology. “I am so grateful to our administrators who supported the program. Being recognized at the international level for a program of excellence is way beyond what I ever thought possible; however, this year has especially taught me that PCPS teachers and students are capable of anything,” she said. Libbey Kitten, science and STEM specialist, said the ITEEA award arrived at the perfect time. “In this crazy COVID year, the prep work needed to ensure both our virtual and in-school students were still getting to learn by doing has been brutal. To be recognized as an exemplary STEM program at the international level is an affirmation of the work we do,” Kitten said. “I am grateful for the commitment PCPS has made to STEM education. The teachers and STEM coaches did the work to make this happen, but we could not have achieved this level of success without the support of Dr. (Eric) Jones, the school board, and our elementary school
Public comments Residents Stuart and Anita Townes were the only speakers opposed to the project. They brought up the issues of the project being close to the schools, bringing extra traffic, and too big in scale for the location. Elwood Yates, a lifelong resident, offered his support of the project. Yates said he has needed to find rental housing at three points in his life for different reasons, and every time it was difficult to find. Younger professionals in the county such as teachers and deputies may need rental properties, he said and reemphasized his support. administrators.” It is such an honor to be a small part of the award-winning elementary STEM program in PCPS, said Lisa Brown, instructional STEM coach. The program is not just one person or even one school, but is the result of the efforts and commitment to excellence starting with teachers in the classrooms and reaching all the way to central office administration, she added. “The award is for everyone! I feel fortunate to have a supervisor, Libbey Kitten, and a colleague, Barbara Adcock, who believe that same way that I do. We think STEM education should be a part of every students’ daily life,” Brown said. “For us, STEM is part of our culture in Powhatan, which inspires and empowers our students to reach their full potential. The ITEEA award simply recognizes what we know PCPS schools are amazing places to work and learn.” The STEM coaches acknowledged the lead STEM teachers at each elementary, who are a big part of making the program work: Sandy Morin (Pocahontas), Jill Dewey (Powhatan), and Mary Lisa Watts (Flat Rock).

set of the pandemic, 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. Dewey, a first grade teacher, said having the emphasis on science back in the classroom has made a huge difference for her students. The STEM coaches put together STEM kits to go with each science unit that includes hands-on manipulatives for the children to use. In the lower grades, science isn’t directly linked to students’ reading level or mathematical abilities, so often it gives them an opportunity to be successful even if they struggle in other areas, which acts as a confidence booster. “It broadens their day and a lot of kids live for the content, I have to be honest, the 45 minutes we do. And it is fun things. It is things they know – plants, animals, or understanding movement,” she said. Dewey added that she wasn’t surprised to see Powhatan’s elementary STEM program honored with the ITEEA award because of the dedication of the STEM coaches as well as the efforts the division has made in recent years to emphasize the program’s importance.

Brian Weitz also offered his support of the project, saying he is familiar with previous work by Potter and Smith and trusts they will do the same caliber of work on this project. Fran Carleton didn’t speak for or against the project particularly. Her main concern was with the county only notifying 10 property owners around the project of a neighborhood meeting. She asked the board to defer the vote to give more people the opportunity to voice their concerns and expressed her desire to have the notifications go to more of the Village residents.

this compression,” Hymel said vehemently. Rick Cole, District 1, had been the first to speak and express his support of Jones’ proposed budget and the critical need to do the raises now while the county was in the financial place to do so. After Hymel’s requests, he said he had mixed feelings about delaying the budget approval and adding meetings that hadn’t been advertised. He stressed that the school board had advertised months ago that it would adopt the proposed budget on March 23. “It gives me heartburn to come in here tonight and say I am not ready to vote on the budget when that has kind of been the plan for the last four months,” he said. Jones said he felt caught off guard at the 11th hour because the staff and school board members had been working on the budget for four month and this was the first time the information was requested. He said he could get Hymel the 2008 data she initially requested by the next day, but collating the larger request would take much more time and definitely couldn’t be done before the April 1 deadline.
step, so that has been addressed.” Hymel agreed she did feel proud of that accomplishment but reiterated that she isn’t giving up on the larger issue of compression and demanded again to have the 2008 data the next day.
SCHOOL BOARD Continued from pg. 1
teachers would see an overall salary increase of anywhere from 6% to 8.77%, depending on years of experience, he said. “From my perspective, compensation for our employees has always been a top priority for the school board and for myself. That would not be diminished if we do have to make a small reduction in our budget because of the local transfer,” he said, adding they would find other areas to make reductions. Susan Smith, who represents District 2, took issue with this approach, saying she doesn’t want to promise employees something and then have to take it back if the supervisors allocate less local dollars. She recommended prioritizing the money they know they will be getting. She also asked questions about where the school division is prioritizing its spending, such as why there aren’t more textbooks in classrooms, teachers are still spending money for materials out of pocket, and wanting more support for teachers with English as a Second Language (ESL) students. Jones later addressed
the issue of out-of-pocket spending and ESL students by saying teachers with issues in these areas should seek assistance from the division. Chairwoman Kim Hymel, District 5, also expressed dissatisfaction with the issue of compressed salaries. She said that she is proud of what the board was doing with the targeted compression raises but thought more needed to be done. She initially said she wasn’t comfortable passing the budget because she still thought there was too much work to be done on the issue of compression. She demanded to see the salary scale of every employee who was working for the county in 2008 first thing the next morning. She expanded that to want all of the salary scales for all employees since 2008. Hymel talked about delaying the vote, which is when the April 1 deadline became an issue, and then suggested having one or more meetings to hash out the issue before passing the budget. “I don’t care if we have to meet every night for the next week. I want to get this right and I don’t want this to go on anymore with
Jones also pointed out that Hymel’s request would signal a change in direction from the school board. To date, when looking at the issue of compensation, the school board has compared itself against 12 other jurisdictions and tried to stay in the middle of the pack to maintain competitiveness. What Hymel said she wants to do – get rid of all compression for all employees on all scales – would be a shift in philosophy to focusing internally more when looking at salaries. Jones pointed out that the board is working toward accomplishing the significant goal it set out to do with this budget in addressing salary compression among teachers. “We have addressed compression in the teacher salary scale. Could we do more in terms of spreading out that scale in between the steps? Yes,” he said. “But the issue that was brought to our attention by some of our valued staff was that 2008 versus now they are making less. That no longer occurs if this budget is approved and appropriated. They will be making more than they were in 2008 on that
Public comments Seven people spoke during the public comment period, which was delayed to allow the audience to hear the budget presentation and discussion first. Of the speakers, six are current Powhatan teachers and one is a retired Powhatan teacher. Their input covered a range of topics, including seeking fair compensation, not taking away retiree benefits, worrying that some teachers feel scared to voice their opinions, feeling undervalued for what they do, and pleading with them to go to bat with the board of supervisors for them. Brooks Bradbury Smith, a Powhatan High School teacher, raised the issue of knowing teachers, especially ones who don’t live in the county, who are afraid to come and speak to the county’s boards
about topics that concern them. She also challenged the school board to fight to get the $214,139 in local funds, pointing out the county budget for FY 2021 will likely have a $6.5 million surplus and the county took back more than $1.3 million in excess funds from the school division in FY 2020 to fund its revenue stabilization fund. Stephanie Wirt, a PHS employe since 1999, talked about living in Powhatan County for 14 years but having to move a few years ago because she could no longer afford to live here. “I work two jobs. With a master’s degree and 21 plus years’ experience teaching, I should not have to work two jobs,” she said. Gail Timberlake, a former Powhatan teacher, advocated for teachers currently working for the county to receive the compensation they deserve. “If you look out here, they are just trying to make it on a day to day basis and they are not able to do it right now. Retiring is great to think about, but they’ve got to have money to live on now, and they have a hard time making ends meet,” she said.

Spelling bee opens new avenues of knowledge By Laura McFarland Editor
T
he winning word was mancala. It’s an Arabic noun that describes any of various games from Africa and southern Asia that involve competition between two players in the distribution of pieces into rows of holes or pockets in a board. It feels kind of weird feeling proud that you know how to spell a word in a children’s spelling bee, but, for anyone who has ever known the answer to Final Jeopardy or screamed the answer to the puzzle at the TV while watching Wheel of Fortune, you know the feeling. On March 23, I once again had the opportunity to help as a judge with the Richmond Times-Dispatch 2021 Regional Spelling Bee. The bee looked extremely different this year because of ongoing COVID-19 precautions, but it was still a fascinating process to watch these kids compete. In a normal year, the spelling bee is held on a Saturday in the auditorium at the Library of Virginia, which is a great setting for a spelling bee. Depending on the year, we might have 29 to 36 districts in the regional spelling bee, representing not only public schools but private, Catholic, and homeschool divisions. Of course, this year had to be different. After winning their local bees, students had the opportunity to take a written spelling test, and the top five spellers were chosen to compete in last week’s regional bee.
It was disappointing that I didn’t get to watch and cheer for a Powhatan County student competing this year as the division was one of many that opted not to hold a spelling bee. I am hoping we come back strong next year with a great regional competition. The final five in the regional bee were invited to participate in the event from rooms in their respective schools via Zoom. There were a few hiccups along the way, but it went surprisingly well. The winner, Ananya Nanduru, is from Henrico County, and she will represent the region at the Scripps National Spelling Bee this year. She beat Reese Wu of Chesterfield on the 25th round – 23 of those rounds saw only the pair of them competing. The regional spelling bee has been a fascinating process to watch since I got involved with it a few years ago. These children have incredible memories, which they demonstrate by spelling words I have never even heard or seen written before. Because of my love of Renaissance fairs, I was familiar with flagon, which is a large usually metal or pottery vessel with a handle and spout and often a lid, but I did not know that a sackbut is a medieval trombone. Nor did I know that a noctambulist was one who walks at night, especially while sleeping. I knew that a horologist is a maker of clocks or watches and that vapidity is the quality or state of lacking flavor, zest, animation, or spirit. But I did not know that a tonometer is an instrument for measuring the exact pitch or vibration rate of tones, nor that mensuration
is the act, process, art, or an instance of measuring. And all of those are just in the regular round words. The championship word section, which was drawn on several times as one girl misspelled a word and they attempted to name a winner, is downright scary. Did you know that a zarzuela is a Spanish opera having spoken dialogue and usually a comic subject? How about the Tagalog word apitong, which is an important Philippine timber tree yielding a resin used as an illuminant or varnish or for caulking boats. It has been many years since my last science class, so I couldn’t have told you that a zygoneure was a connecting neuron, much less known how to spell the word. Maybe some art lovers would have known how to spell esquisse, which is a first usually rough sketch, as of a picture or model of a statue. These are just some of the words these students were asked to spell, but I saw many more that blew my mind while flipping through the larger word list. For instance, Kjeldahl is a Danish name of, relating to, or being a method for determining the amount of nitrogen in a substance. You may know that a brouhaha is publicity, attention, or excitement far beyond the merits or importance of its cause, but did you know that a bruja (pronounced liked the first without the extra “ha”) is a Spanish word for a witch or sorceress? If your head is spinning from these few words, imagine what it is like for the students who try to memorize thousands of them in hopes that they will retain the right ones at the right moment. These kids are amazing.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R A road by any other name would still be a wild ride Dear Editor, In my move out to Powhatan I am keenly aware of the road with three names. That being state Route 711, Huguenot Trail, and Robius Road. This can be confusing to the innocent and the unsuspecting. Especially if one wants to know where they actually are. Why do the road builders and mapmakers insist on multiple names for their highways ensuring unnecessary conflict? Why don’t they instead, using the KISS method, call Route 711 ‘The Road’ or ‘Westward Ho’ and be done with it? The speed limit on 711, not to be confused with those ubiquitous 7-Eleven convenience stores everywhere, is 45 mph. Nobody drives 45 on 711. Nobody. Not even old people. I think it’s against the law in Powhatan to drive less than 45 on it. One time, I had a Jeep Cherokee Laredo X outfitted in a Gun metal Midnight package, 3.6 liter V-6 engine with a high-rider suspension and actual airplane tires drive so recklessly close to my rear bumper that I swear the driver could have read the fine print off my driver’s license, which was in my back pocket. Thank goodness his two 5,000 watt base speakers weren’t on and thumping my eardrums to shreds. Where is the police when you need them? An anonymous source deep in the bowels of Busch Gardens tipped me off that one of their engineers drove on 711 once and that’s how he came up with the Apollo’s Chariot roller coaster ride at the theme park. I’m not surprised. Route 711 is a twisty-turvy, up-and-down narrow strip of road suited more for slot car racing. Most locals are very courteous and don’t push you from behind, giving you four or more car lengths between them and you. Country manners. But you’ve got drive at least fifty or fifty-five for the code to be honored. Friends coming out to the new house want to know how to get there. I tell them point your horse south down Huguenot and turn right onto 711-HuguenotRobious-Trail-Or-Whatever-You-Want-To-Call-It Road. Eventually, you’ll come to landmark Sublett’s Tavern on your right, then second landmark Lucky’s Exxon gas station-slash-convenience store much further down from that, also on your right, and you continue driving until the locals speak another language. No, that last part was a line in a movie. Hug close to the white line on the road’s right side, drive at least 50 mph, and watch out for deer. And, if you find a Jeep Cherokee with a Midnight package on
your tail feathers, make the sign-of-the-cross and stuff wads of Kleenex in your ears just in case. Be forewarned. Joe Ondishko Powhatan County

Warmer weather will bring people a chance to reconnect Dear Editor, I am writing in response to the article titled “New signs of normal life blooming this spring,” published in your newspaper on March 22, 2021. First, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your piece of writing in the newspaper! It was so refreshing to see an article that is very uplifting and hopeful. As we all know, things have been a little gloomy lately. It is also amazing that we will have vaccines available for everyone starting May 1. Now that spring is here, giving us this nice weather with blooming plants, maybe it is a sign of moving away from these dark times. I feel as if everyone is disconnected now because of the pandemic. It is now time for everyone to slowly get back into the healthy lifestyles’ individuals had before. This spring and summer will bring sports and recreational activities where people can make new connections and relationships. I have already seen an increase of people becoming more active around town lately and it makes me happy. I am just grateful that we were all able to solve this problem in such a short time. This summer will be the first step towards everyone getting back to their normal lives that they had before. Lyle Rodgers Powhatan County

serve in the seat until a special election can be held on Nov. 2. The circuit court took on the role of appointing an interim supervisor after the board of supervisors unanimously declined on March 3 to choose from the pool of eight candidates. Although he wasn’t necessarily shocked at being chosen since he applied and was actively seeking the post, Berry said he was ecstatic that he was entrusted with the responsibility and aware of the complexity of the position. Berry has already stated that he has no intention in running in the special election to serve the last two years of the term left vacant by Larry Nordvig. “One of the reasons that I wanted to throw myself into the ring here was the intention of not running. I wanted those that were going to run for the office on a long-term basis – on an elected basis – to be able to stand on their own two feet and not create an incumbent that was appointed getting an advantage. The incumbent tends to have an advantage,” Berry said. “With me deciding I wanted to be the shortterm person and not run, it lets those folks that do want to run all have a good level playing field.” Berry said he has been following the board of supervisors meetings
and trying to stay informed but knows there is a great deal about the position to learn. He also wanted to make it clear that he may be an interim supervisor, but he still wants to represent District 2 residents while he is in office and hopes they will engage with him. “Although not elected but appointed for this role, I look forward to meeting and communicating with the citizens of the district and county to find out their thoughts and ensure they are heard. I am coming into this position with no agenda and with an open mind – the only objective being to do the right thing for the citizens and community,” he said. Berry has been a Division Chief for the Virginia Department of Fire Programs since 2003, a career that he said has given him experience in emergency management, emergency response, budgeting, training, compliance with laws and standards, and planning in both intermediate and long-term situations. In addition to a career as a fire officer, Berry has been a volunteer with Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department for the last decade. He also has served as a team member for the Powhatan Fire and Rescue Strategic Plan workgroup, is currently serving as the staff duty chief for the county on scheduled weekends, and is a volunteer on committees as requested. He is also a volunteer member of the Powhatan County Public Schools
BROADBAND Continued from pg. 1
Today, the company has 7,600 subscribers, but Wood said they estimate they will have 15,000 accounts by the end of 2021. In December 2020, through its partnership with Firefly, Powhatan was awarded FCC Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) Auction funds worth $1.75 million. The amount, which will be paid out over 10 years, will serve roughly 1,300 homes in Western Powhatan, Wood said. But while this is good news, the word his company and county staff are hoping to hear will come with the results of the latest round of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Rural Development Broadband ReConnect Program. Powhatan County and Firefly had previously applied for a ReConnect grant but the application was denied last fall because they forecasted an “overly optimistic” take rate of 50% of homes in the impacted area choosing to connect, Wood said. That original project proposed to lay 140 miles of fiber to reach about 1,650 locations, which could be homes or businesses. The cost estimate for the project was $9 million. The partnership resubmitted its application in December 2020 for a much smaller area but still used the same take rate because they believe the desire is there in Western Powhatan for homes to be connected, he said. Since COVID-19, any time Firefly has come to an area, the sign up rate was always a minimum of 50% to 60% and sometimes as high as 75% when they first start. The take rate only increases over time, he added. Because of the RDOF funding the county already knows it can count on, Wood said that if they also receive the ReConnect grant, he believes they can cover the same footprint that they submitted in their original ReConnect application.
Plan A Being awarded the ReConnect grant is the ultimate goal – the one Wood called Plan A – because it provides most of the funding to take them to the maximum amount of coverage area. The news of whether the ReConnect funding was approved should come out soon, Wood said, but he wasn’t sure when. “I hope it is a positive response. If so
Safety Committee for the entire school system representing fire and rescue and parents. Prior to moving to Powhatan, he served more than 20 years as a volunteer with Chesterfield Fire and EMS in several facilities, holding the ranks of firefighter through district chief and working in combination fire stations and all volunteer stations. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Berry attended and was involved with Blessed Sacrament High School at Belmead. During this time, he attended school and volunteered at the shelter on the St. Francis property. “I also worked on both properties, St. Francis and St. Emma, to ensure they would be here for generations to come since at the time both sites were deteriorating. These activities included several renovation projects related to my attainment of the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout rank, as well as coordinating several other scouts’ projects based on property needs over the following years,” he said. Berry said he tends to volunteer in his community and he saw serving as the interim supervisor as a great opportunity to serve in the county in a different role. Berry is married to Christy Berry and has two daughters, Natalie and Gracie, and two English Springer Spaniels, Gatsby and Clover. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.
that, combined with the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, will get us a long way toward being able to serve that entire footprint,” he said. Even if the ReConnect grant is successful, Wood said they would probably still apply to the next round of Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI), which extends broadband service to currently unserved areas. VATI funds will allow some level of state support in areas that received RDOF funds. Wood explained that the state recognized the FCC’s RDOF auction offered less funds than in recent years and additional support would be needed. He also pointed out that while any project built with the RDOF funds would have to be completed in six years, the actual fund distribution will be spread out over 10 years. “If you are trying to build you like to have your grant money up front to offset your capital costs and not get it eight years from now, get another check,” Wood said. He pointed out that Firefly is only two years old so it doesn’t have the capital to start the build despite having promised RDOF funding without other sources. Wood also offered federal CARES Act funding and a federal infrastructure grant as other possible avenues to pursue if necessary. He said that if the partnership receives the ReConnect grant on top of the RDOF funding it got in December, it would be within $1 to $2 million of what Firefly needs to serve the original footprint. If the ReConnect grant is awarded, after filing necessary paperwork and doing an environmental review, which can take three to six months, construction could probably begin in late fall.

So to cut your cost you can go overhead, but if things don’t work out for us to get a cheaper overhead solution with Southside, we may have to go underground because we can move faster,” Wood said. He also talked about asking the board of supervisors to consider signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a partnership with Dominion Energy if that became an option. In this partnership, Dominion would build the “middle mile” fiber and Firefly would make the connections to the home, Wood said. Having an MOU from the supervisors saying they want to be part of the partnership would allow for a study to be conducted on what it would take to build fiber in the relevant areas of Powhatan. This study would look at both what

Plan B If the county does not receive the ReConnect grant, Plan B is to look at the RDOF area, which is mostly served by Southside Electric Cooperative, and the northern part of Powhatan County, which has roughly 300 Dominion Energy customers, Wood said. While he doesn’t know if the electric companies would be interested in partnerships, Firefly has made contact on the subject, Wood said. One option is to talk to Southside about using its overhead infrastructure to reduce time and costs. “If not, we may look at doing under-

they need to get in terms of grant funding and where they would pursue those funds. If Plan B is successful, construction could likely begin in 2022, Wood said. If the ReConnect grant is successful, Firefly would not use the Dominion project and would pull Powhatan out of the regional study it is already doing with Dominion in other areas and move forward with the ReConnect grant.
Port 80 Evan Weiner, Port 80 managing member, gave the board an update on its progress on a county-led broadband project that saw fiber laid in parts of Districts 2, 3, and 5 with concentrated areas of homes. The construction work on the project, which was funded with some of Powhatan’s CARES Act money, was done by Hosted Backbone LLC between September 2020 and February 2021. The company laid 28 miles of fiber during that time despite incredibly cold and wet con-
ditions, he said. The Hosted Backbone project saw the county using $859,945 in CARES Act funds in two phases to reach 407 homes in the county, according to John Wood, the county’s IT director. Port 80, which started as a whollyowned subsidiary of Hosted Backbone but has now split off into its own entity, is the internet service provider that is now completing the project by connecting customers, Weiner said. Customer hookups started in fall 2020 and will likely continue through summer 2021, with roughly 20 to 30 new homes a week hooked up with broadband service, Weiner said. While he didn’t share exact numbers, he added that, of the citizens who have expressed an interest in the project areas, the company has fully completed and brought online 34% of those new customers. “We are really proud of what we have accomplished in just six months,” he said.

MIDLOTHIAN -- Keyshawn Jefferson rushed for 135 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Monacan Chiefs in their 26-14 win on Friday over Powhatan. “They’re a really good football team. They played well tonight and they executed well...they had a great scheme to slow our running game down. I don’t think they completely stopped us, but they certainly slowed us down more than what some other teams have been doing,” Powhatan head football coach Mike Henderson said of Monacan. “We had a couple chances to capitalize, and we didn’t.” The first chance came when Monacan booted a short punt to its own 22 yard-line with the game tied at 6-6. see POWHATAN, pg. 3B

Powhatan senior Micah Holt (88) goes for a catch in Friday’s game versus Monacan.
MIDLOTHIAN -- Over the last few games, four-year varsity player and senior Kaitlin Thompson – to Powhatan field hockey coach Caryn Rehme – has been a lot more confident. She’s also been creative, as she’s tried new things like aerials on the field. The lone senior on the varsity team, Thompson has been a key player this season for the Indians. She was key

It was the first time that Powhatan’s varsity field hockey program had beaten the Rapids. “It was nice to see the girls fight for this win, because they fought for this one,” Rehme said. “They knew they had to beat James River, and now, the next one, we have to beat Monacan.” NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY “We definitely did pretty good – started off slow, but we definitely Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s picked it up after they came at us hard,” Michael Timmons interrupts a Thompson said. “We picked it up… Broadwater Academy pass, which see SENIOR DAY, pg. 3B

Seibel, Lampkin lead Powhatan in varsity races Staff Reports CHESTERFIELD - Sean Seibel and Marissa Lampkin led Powhatan’s runners in the boys’ and girls’ varsity races held March 17 as part of a Dominion District meet at Pocahontas State Park. Lampkin, a senior, placed 11th in the girls varsity race in 24:02.5, and Seibel placed 20th in the boys varsity race in 19:57.7. Joining Lampkin in the girls varsity top 20 from Powhatan was senior Chloe Grell, who finished 17th with a time of 25:57.3.

Powhatan, looking to take the lead on the drive, moved the ball within the red zone to reach Monacan’s 13. But a fourth-down rush by Powhatan was so close that it led to a measurement, and the football was shy of the first-down marker by inches, if not less. The Chiefs from there marched 87 yards to to the end zone to take the lead on a 27-yard pass from Tyler Hensley to Kyjuan Pettus. Down 18-6 to open the second half, Powhatan marched from its 35-yard line all the way up inside Monacan’s 5, but gave up a fumble to Jefferson. From there, Monacan assembled another long touchdown drive for 96 yards. Henderson spoke to Powhatan needing to improve on its tackling. “We didn’t tackle very well. We didn’t give up the big plays for the most part. That’s kind of what the game plan was, to make them try to drive the field, and for the most part we did that,” Henderson said. “If we tackled a little bit better in some instances, we might’ve forced some fourth downs and some third-and-longs.” Powhatan, however, struck gold in its opening drive on offense, and despite going down three possessions in the fourth quarter, the team never quit from start to finish. In the first drive, junior

Rain drops soon hit the field after the game ended with visiting Broadwater Academy winning a touchdown-happy contest 60-41. Despite the loss, BSH coach Gary Brock said that “it felt so good to be back.” He noted that the time they missed on the field was evident on Saturday, but he added that they “showed some moxie again in the second half,” and that they didn’t give up. The Knights’ first game back was also their Senior Day game. They celebrated the contributions of seniors Michael Timmons and Zach Miles. Miles, whom Brock called a great leader for the team, sacked the quarterback for a loss of 2 yards, and Brock added that “he was up to his usual self on the trap blocks.” Timmons in the first quarter jumped up and interrupted Broadwater’s deep passing shot, sending it into the hands of Timmons’ teammate Harrison Lee, whose interception set up the Knights at their own 23-yard line. What followed was a 77-yard touchdown drive that gave the Knights the first lead of the game. Quarterback Zander Nadeau’s passing arm and a 15-yard penalty against the Vikings gained the Knights 49 yards, and Nadeau capped the drive by sweeping to his right and dashing into the end zone from 10 yards out. The Knights went 2-for-2 in their first pair of offensive drives as hardhitting Josh Decker shrugged off two defenders to score on a 21-yard catchand-run off of Nadeau’s pass to extend the Knights’ lead to 13-6. But from there, the Vikings took command. Broadwater recovered two consecutive onside kicks to link together three straight scoring drives, and the Vikings punctuated their 32-point explosion in the second quarter with touchdown passes of 49, 48, and 45 yards. “I know we got winded because of just not being in good shape, but other than that, we hung in there,” Brock said. “We were dog-tired by the time we got to halftime, but we got a little bit of juice in us and got a little chance to rest.” The second half was when Decker especially shined for the Knights, as he scored on rushes from 13, 6, and 8 yards out and added a two-point conversion run. Decker rumbled for 163 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries, and he hauled in two catches for
Finishing second through fifth in the 14-runner girls JV race for Powhatan were Olivia Goodrich (24:31.4), Kaitlyn Rissmeyer (24:49.5), Raquel Iga (25:18.2), and Alyssa Gorman (25:56.7). Senior Alexis Elzey finished seventh in the girls JV race in 26:17. In the 20-runner JV boys race, Powhatan’s Joshua Holland finished eighth in 21:05.5. Additional varsity boys finishers from Powhatan were senior Jackson Tester (20:04.9), Russell Holland (21:37.7), senior Ryan Moss (21:47.9),
Anthony Cavedo (21:56.1), and Liam Clancy (22:23.5. Additional varsity girls finishers from Powhatan were Katlyn Foltyn (26:14.7), Audrey Lennon (27:14.1), Virginia Bird (27:14.3), and senior Carly Dolan (29:14.3). Additional JV boys finishers from Powhatan were senior Cody Bateman (22:07.4), Erik Glanden (24:02.5), and senior Brodie Glanden (25:00.8). The March 24 Dominion District finale was postponed to today at Pocahontas State Park at 4 p.m.
Several Powhatan runners will also compete as individuals in the Pole Green Spring Championships on Friday, April 2. During the morning races, Rissmeyer, Lampkin, and Iga are slated to run at 8 a.m., Carter Nuckols at 9 a.m., and senior Gavin Timmons in the Championship Division at 11 a.m. In the afternoon sessions, Elzey and Goodrich will run at 12 p.m., brothers and seniors Davis and Jackson Tester will join Cole Whiting in running at 1 p.m., and Aleah Burnett will compete in the 2 p.m. middle school race.
running back Mitchell Johnson converted on fourth down with a four-yard rush to Powhatan’s 48-yard line, and junior quarterback Hans Rehme, facing fourth and six from Monacan’s 26, saw the seas part as the pocket split into two on either side of him, and he took advantage, exploding up the middle to reach the 2-yard line. Johnson soon carried the ball across the plane to tie the game 6-6 before the Chiefs responded in the second quarter. In addition to Hensley’s go-ahead touchdown pass to Pettus, Monacan’s Jefferson scored one touchdown in PHOTOS BY NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY each of the first three quarters, and the Powhatan High School seniors Hanna Hathaway (above, second from Chiefs in the fourth added a safety to right) and Kaitlin Thompson (below, second from left), are honored on lead 26-6.

ye hole for the pie hole? The answer is both yes and…….yum! Nothing tastes better on a cold winter’s day than delicious Finnish Rye Hole Bread. If you have sourdough starter, this bread can be prepared similarly to how it was done a hundred years ago. If you don’t have sour dough starter, it can be easily prepared using packaged dry yeast. Why does this Nordic bread have a hole in it? It could be because anything bakes and cooks quicker with a hole in the middle. Density is reduced. This reduces baking time. Or the reason was the bread could be dried on a dowel above a wood burning stove. A dried, crispy rye could be easily stored then eaten during hunting or fishing trips. There’s a third theory. Looped through a stick or pipe above the stove, the drying bread was well out of the reach of mice! Rye flour can be hard to find in Central Virginia.
