Supervisors vote to lower real estate tax rate 79 cents set to take effect on November bills By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently made a unanimous decision to lower the county’s real estate tax rate to 79 cents starting with the November 2021 tax bills. During the board’s meeting on Monday, March 29, the supervisors were originally talking about deciding on the tax rate they wanted to advertise for the short fiscal year (FY) making up the second
half of 2021 and the calendar year 2022. There was also the possibility they could have voted to advertise the FY 2022 budget they wanted to advertise. But in a surprise move at the end of the meeting, the four sitting members voted 4-0 in favor of passing the tax rate that they want to have start with the November 2021 billing cycle, stay in effect 18 months by this vote, and hopefully become the county’s fixed real estate rate. Tom Berry, the newly appointed District 2 supervisor, was in attendance at the meeting in the audience but was not sworn in until Friday, April 2. The supervisors didn’t actually have to advertise the rate since they wanted to lower it from the current rate of 85 cents. The supervisors also didn’t dive into a full budget discussion at the March 29 meeting, but it was discussed at the bud-
get workshop they added for April 2. At that point, the board decided to move ahead and advertise the budget county administrator Ned Smither suggested, including the school board’s portion of the budget. Smither said the county’s budget will be advertised at $100,170,484, which includes all funds. The board will hold a public hearing on the FY 2022 operating budget at its May 3 meeting and has discussed adopting it on May 10. The county’s budget does not have to be approved until the end of June, but the school board’s budget must be adopted by May 15, at which point the school division can work on employee contracts for the coming year. One aspect of the budget discussed at both meetings was the school funding that comes from the county. At a joint meeting between the school board and
board of supervisors on March 16, Smither presented a budget that saw the school division receiving $214,139 less in local funds because of an increase in state funds. At the March 29 meeting, Smither suggested the county make up some of the difference in the two figures. If the board agreed, which they appeared to at the April 2 workshop, that means Smither’s recommendation for local funds to the schools would increase by $111,339. That still leaves the school division $102,800 to adjust for over the budget that the school board approved on March 23. Although it was not solved at the April 2 workshop, Smither’s suggestion sparked discussion about the need to have a more formal policy in place resee TAX, pg. 4

POWHATAN – Despite a slight easing of capacity limitations on social gatherings in Virginia, some local wedding industry professionals feel like they are still being unfairly singled out. Governor Ralph Northam recently announced several new COVID-related measures that went into effect on April 1, including an increase in the number of people allowed to attend social gatherings. According to the new guidelines, the maximum number of individuals permitted in a social gathering increased to 50 people for indoor settings and 100 people for outdoor settings. This was an in-

Officials discuss impact of new Voting Rights Act of Virginia By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – Governor Ralph Northam last week announced he has approved the Voting Rights Act of Virginia to provide comprehensive protections against voter suppression, discrimination, or intimidation. Northam made minor technical amendments to Senate Bill 1395, sponsored by
Senator Jennifer McClellan, and House Bill 1890, sponsored by Delegate Marcia Price, which prohibit any state or local policy from denying or restricting the right to vote of any Virginian simply because of their race, color, or membership in a language minority group, according to a release from his office on March 31. Virginia is the first state in the nation to enact its own version of a voting rights act. “At a time when voting rights are under
attack across our country, Virginia is expanding access to the ballot box, not restricting it,” said Northam. “With the Voting Rights Act of Virginia, our Commonwealth is creating a model for how states can provide comprehensive voter protections that strengthen democracy and the integrity of our elections. I am proud to support this historic legislation, and I urge Congress to follow Virginia’s see VOTING, pg. 8
Deer crashes through bus windshield, no one injured By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – A Powhatan County Public School bus had a run in with a deer on its early morning April 1 run and – no joke – the bus may have gotten the worst of the encounter. A Powhatan school bus driver was heading toward Powhatan High School with his full load of students when a deer came
through the windshield at 6:07 a.m. on Old Buckingham Road. No one was injured in the accident, which can be seen on the Powhatan Today Facebook page in a video released by the school division. The driver, who did not want to be identified, reported that while traveling down Old Buckingham Road, he had one deer come out in front of him and see DEER, pg. 2

JANE WHELESS Jane Lee “Janie” Wheless, 84, of Powhatan, fell asleep in death as gracefully as she lived on Thursday, March 18, 2021, at home with her husband, Dr. Donald Wheless, her children, Kellee, Laurie and Chris, granddaughters, Holli, Sofi and Nikki and daughter-in-law, Yessy, at her side. She was surrounded constantly during her short illness by the love and care of her children, WHELESS grandchildren, caregiver Patsy Bowlin and many very special friends. Janie was the daughter of the late William Emmet Davies and Betty Hawkins Davies. She is survived by her husband, Don; children, Kellee Herrington (Jodee), Laurie Cassanese-Rhodes (Brian), Chris Wheless (Yessy); grandchildren, Samuel Bowlin Jr., Jon Lopes, Holli Robertson (Philip), Nikki Perrot (Drew), Lucas Gianni Cassanese, Nikki Wheless and Sofi Wheless; and her great-grandchildren, Scott Gionni Lopes, Claire Jane Bowlin, Juniper Jane Robertson, Willow Jane Perrot, Ivy Lee Perrot; her sister, Betty Yates; and beloved nieces and nephews. Janie was a light of joy to everyone she met and as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. She lived her life according to Bible principles and her personality reflected that. Her nephew, Elwood Yates, said that, “She has so much good in her that it makes up for the bad in all of us.” It seemed only a short time ago when Janie and Don would take walks through the field to their lake and admire the peaceful creative works of their God Jehovah. Janie was a gracious, always hospitable Southern woman who graduated from Westhampton College (now University of Richmond) in 1958. She taught French and English at Grange Hall and Midlothian High School. She later volunteered at the Science Museum of Virginia. Janie was born in 1936 in Orange, N.J. As an adult, she was searching for a church to attend but was not satisfied with what she was hearing until 1960, when she came in contact with Jehovah’s Witnesses. It was through her study of the Bible with them that she found satisfying answers to her spiritual questions. Janie and Don met on a blind date. As he walked her to the door he stated he was going to marry her. Eight months later they were married. They celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in October 2020. For many years, Janie volunteered as a receptionist at the Richmond Assembly Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, where Don volunteered in the medical department. They both volunteered many years in the ministry sharing Bible truths, one of which is their future hope of living forever on a Paradise earth together with loved ones whom they would welcome back in the resurrection. Janie was a gourmet cook and masterful party planner. She and Don loved to travel and to be with family and friends. They made many lasting friendships all over the world and enjoyed the unity that exists among their international family of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Memorial arrangements will follow at a later time.

Free Clinic advises people can resume routine health care By Barbara Brown Special to the Powhatan Today
If you had the opportunity to participate in a Chesterfield or Powhatan COVID Vaccine Clinic you witnessed people coming together to get a big job done expeditiously and well. Your neighbors, some with healthcare training but most without, staff the events. They volunteer their time to help us achieve herd immunity and a return to normal. Here are some facts about herd immunity as you determine what is safe, such as resuming annual checkups. Herd immunity is achieved when large percentages of a population be-
come immune to a disease and thus, indirectly protect those who do not have immunity. No one knows how many people need to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19. It is likely similar to other infectious diseases. For example, herd immunity for polio occurs when 80% of the population is vaccinated, but for measles (rubeola) it is 95%. As a result of data showing specific percentages, public discussion of herd immunity often treats it like an on-off switch. It is actually more of a dimmer switch. The numbers of new infections start to drop long before total herd immunity is reached because the number of

eligible “hosts,” or people without immunity, drops. At this point nearly 40% of Americans have some level of immunity to COVID-19 because they have either had the infection or received at least one dose of a COVID vaccine. Had these folks been exposed to the virus a year ago they could have become infected. This level of immunity is slowing the spread of COVID-19 despite the pandemic not being over. Deaths, hospitalizations, and new cases are down. Vaccinations are eliminating death and hospitalizations for people who contract a variant of the original virus. The virus is slowly running out of new people to infect and re-

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a proclamation on March 22 recognizing April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. Chase Sawyer, left, presents the proclamation to Luis Nieves with the Powhatan Department of Social Services. The county’s proclamation recognized that the health and safety of all citizens is important to the prosperity and well-being of Powhatan’s families and communities and that children are the county’s most valuable resource and will shape the future of the Commonwealth. Child abuse is considered to be one of the nation’s most serious public health problems, with scientific studies documenting the link between the abuse and neglect of children and a wide range of medical, emotional, psychological, and behavioral disorders. The board acknowledged that everyone must work together as a community to increase awareness about child abuse and how we can prevent it, because prevention remains the best defense for our children. Displaying a pinwheel during the month of April will serve as a positive reminder that together we can prevent child abuse and neglect and keep children safe.

Branding isn't just about having a strong logo, website, and consistent color palette for your business. It's also about the story you tell, both as a business and business owner. In this session, we'll dive into the basics of developing an impactful story that helps you build and engage your audience and ultimately, converts followers into customers. away, starting with the June 2021 tax bill. However they gave Smither over the weekend to think about whether he felt confident in the county’s ability to safely operate with a 79-cent rate both right away and in the long term. Smither explained in a separate interview why the idea to lower the tax rate to 79 cents right away didn’t happen. He said that on Monday, March 22, the board accepted Smither’s recommendation that keeping the tax rate at 85 cents for the June 2021 tax bill was the best route forward for the county. There were two main drivers in that decision – the impact on county staff to make such a change and the extra financial burden it would put on the long-term plans the supervisors are trying to build for the county, he said. The brunt of the work resulting from changing the tax rate so close to when the bills are going to be sent out would have fallen on the treasurer’s office and the commissioner of the revenue’s office. Smither praised the work they do and said they probably could have powered through and gotten it done, but it would have been a heavy burden on the constitutional officers and their employees. “The logistics of getting a tax rate for June lowered were significant, and I am sure the commissioner (of the revenue) and the treasurer could have done a good job of trying to make all those pieces come together, but it would have been a challenge,” he said. “Just setting the rate is one thing, but then you would have a series of refunds back for people who have paid their taxes in advance. A lot of people pay both halves at one time.” Additionally, in the board’s efforts to get the lowest real estate possible for the next decade, they want to lower the rate to

79 cents and keep it there for the foreseeable future. They had to weigh the victory of lowering the tax rate for one extra tax bill against accomplishing their longterm plans, Smither said. The six-cent difference between lowering the real estate tax from 85 cents to any lower amount represents an estimated $371,000 per penny on the tax rate. By keeping the higher rate and putting those funds toward the board’s long-term goals, they have more cushion moving forward if unforeseen circumstances bring unplanned expenses, Smither said.
79 cents The 79-cent real estate tax rate that the board approved on March 29 will go into effect for the short fiscal year that begins July 1, 2021, and is accounted for in the November 2021 tax bill. It will then continue to be in effect in the calendar year 2022 that follows. The board made the decision earlier this year to take the county back from a fiscal year billing cycle to a calendar year billing cycle. According to current county ordinance, the supervisors adopt a tax rate in the spring that will be effective for the November bill of that year and the June bill of the following year, Charla Schubert, director of finance, had previously explained. The county made the decision to move to fiscal year billing in 2014 and is one of only five localities in the state that operates this way. The board is expected to adopt an ordinance change in April or May moving Powhatan back to a calendar year billing cycle, which means the supervisors will vote on a rate each spring that will be effective for the June and November of that calendar year, Schubert said.

VENUES Continued from pg. 1
Powhatan County, the numbers seem arbitrary, not taking into account the individual size of the businesses or their capabilities to put adequate safety measures in place, said Kim Moody, a Goochland wedding venue coowner who has become involved in a growing movement among wedding industry professionals statewide seeking relief. Added to that, when compared to some of the much higher capacity limits the governor has recently allowed, such as for graduations, sporting events, and concerts, the much tighter restrictions on some event venues denotes a distinct lack of consistency, she said. For many, continuing to have such tight restrictions on wedding and event venues and loosening them on other kinds of organizations or businesses feels like the state doesn’t trust the former’s ability to responsibly hold events, Moody said. “That we couldn’t do it safely is basically the perception, which is especially insulting because our industry is really built on safety, protocols, and practices,” she said. Debora Gordon, co-owner of Fairview Farm Events in Powhatan, said it feels like the wedding industry is being singled out by the governor. “He said recently we just can't do larger groups because there is hugging and kissing, singing and dancing. … Bars can stay open until midnight as well as large outdoor concerts can take place, so they don't sing, dance and kiss? Graduations and proms are being allowed,” she said. “Our weddings are better ‘behaved’ in most cases and respect the mandates in place, and we can't have a wedding last beyond 11 (p.m.).” Part of the problem, as they see it, is that the wedding industry does not have strong lobbying power with the General Assembly to make their voices heard, Moody said. Outside of major hoteliers, if you think about the majority of businesses involved in the industry, it is “Mom and Pop” operations, such as photographers, caterers, bakers, florists, videographers, lighting technicians, transportation businesses, party rentals,

photo booth rentals, bridal shops, cleaners, tailors, tuxedo rental shops, landscape and maintenance workers, and many more niche businesses. Weddings are a multi-billion industry in Virginia that contribute to the even larger state tourism revenue dollars, Moody said. The state needs to seriously consider the economic impact at the local and state levels not just for the short-term but the longterm as more and more businesses fail because they can’t work. “They have created this extreme case of desperation with the clients who don’t want to be told what to do anymore. They have been respectful for a very long time, as have all of the vendors,” Moody said. “What is happening, for better or worse, is that our border states have been gaining the Virginia wedding business this entire time.” The localities are missing out as well, said Lisa Benusa, coowner of The Mill at Fine Creek in Powhatan. Every service her venue offers has sales tax charged on it, “and that is money back in Powhatan’s pockets that they have been missing out on.”
Percentages Industry professionals aren’t railing against any kind of restrictions; they are just asking for equitable treatment and the same opportunity as others to put forward helpful ideas about safely reopening or increasing services, Moody said. For instance, if the wedding industry still really needs to be under restrictions, guidelines based on a percentage of each individual venue’s capacity would be more realistic and recognize that they are not all the same, Benusa said. One catchall number of 50 or 100 people doesn’t take into account a venue’ size, the number of bathrooms, or the amount of space available to spread out. In the governor’s recent plan to allow in-person graduation ceremonies, he capped outdoor ceremonies at 5,000 people or 30% of the venue capacity, whichever is less, and indoor events at 500 people, or 30% of the venue capacity, whichever is less. “I do wish that he would have done a percentage instead of 50 people. We have 6,500 square
feet. You can easily separate 50 people,” Benusa said. Those kinds of realistic limitations based on a venue’s size and amenities, when combined with good safety measures on the venue’s part and personal responsibility by the guests, should carry some weight as far as the ability to safely hold an event, she said. Fairview Farm has a large PHOTO COURTESY OF FAIRVIEW FARM EVENTS outdoor pavilion that can also be closed in now and most of its Wedding guests at an outdoor wedding at Fairview Farm weddings are outdoors, Gordon Events wear masks during the ceremony. said.

In Part 1, students competed via the Scripps online testing platform with both spelling and vocabulary, with a 45-minute time limit to complete the test. In Part 2, the students with the five highest scores competed via a private Zoom link to determine the finalist, who would compete in the National Spelling Bee.

Lillian McConkey wins national poster contest Contributed Report
The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) sponsors a poster contest annually for students in grades K-12. Each year the contest has a different theme. The 2020 theme was “Where Would We Bee Without Pollinators?” The contest starts out at the local conservation district level. Lillian McConkey, a 10th-grade student at Cumberland County High School, won grand prize of $75 for the overall best poster with Peter Francisco Soil and Water Conservation District (serving Buckingham and Cumberland counties). Lillian’s poster was so good that Peter Francisco SWCD’s Education Committee decided to create a grand prize winner for this year’s contest. Normally the district gives a monetary gift to the first, second, and third place winners in each of the five categories (K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 1012 grades). However, these were not normal circumstances. Peter Francisco SWCD forwarded Lillian’s poster to the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts (VASWCD) to be judged at the state level for the Grade 10-12 Category. There are 47 conservation districts across the Commonwealth of Virginia, which serve the 95 counties and 39 independent cities in Virginia. Lillian won first place at the state level. Her prizes included a check for $100, some art supplies, a nature book, and a plaque. The Virginia Association of

Local competitions are co-sponsored by newspapers, such as the Richmond Times-Dispatch, or other high-profile community organizations and businesses. The spelling bee was established to “help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.” To participate in the contest, students must be under 16 years of age, be enrolled in 8th grade or below, and attend a school which has officially enrolled in the program.

I am not throwing away my (Pfizer) shot By Laura McFarland Editor
T
he process was different than what I might have experienced in Powhatan, but I was still OK with the outcome. I have been visiting the vaccine clinics organized by Powhatan County for the last few months and still can’t say enough about how well they were run by Curt Nellis, Emergency Services Solutions Inc., and the volunteers who helped keep them going. But, alas, those clinics were already winding down when I got word that I had been approved to receive a vaccine, so I instead scheduled one on March 27 at Virginia State University in Petersburg. The following account is my personal experience getting the first round of the Pfizer vaccine. It is not necessarily indicative of what everyone who chooses to be vaccinated will encounter, but I hoped it might be helpful to those who don’t know what to expect. My appointment was at 12:45 p.m., but I arrived at 12:30 p.m. expecting a line at the Multi-purpose Center, where the vaccines were being administered. I was not wrong. I would estimate 60 to 75 people were in front of me in the outside section of the line when I arrived. Almost immediately, an officer directing people where to go made sure we were social distancing and informed those of us at the back that the line was moving at a good pace but some of the workers were cycling through their lunches, which was perfectly understandable. Having seen a Facebook post from a friend who had gotten her vaccine at VSU not long before, I recognized that I might have to wait in line and came appropriately prepared. I had an e-book primed, a podcast downloaded, and even a movie ready on my phone. In the end, I simply went with music so I wouldn’t mind being interrupt-
ed if I had to take my earphones out for instructions or to ask a question. If you had to stand in line outside, this was a good day for it. The temperature was in the low 60s, the sun was shining, and a delightful breeze rolled through regularly. At about 12:55 p.m., the earphones came out because I noticed a man about 20 feet in front of me in line had apparently collapsed. Medics and officers rushed to help and those in line backed up to give them space. At first, we all stayed where we were, but, after a few minutes, another officer began directing people in line to move forward while giving the patient a wide berth. The man was taken inside in a wheelchair and about 20 minutes later he was wheeled out on a gurney. I noticed that he was clutching in his hands what appeared to be a vaccine card, which I mention because the image brought home to me again how much peace of mind getting the vaccine gives to so many people. A staff worker also made an announcement that those incapable of waiting in line should ask for assistance. They had golf carts and wheelchairs helping move people around, so, if you go to a clinic and need assistance, be sure to ask for it. Designated workers were disinfecting the equipment between uses. At 1:13 p.m., I made it to the front door and the earphones came out for the duration of this venture. A security guard checked my name on the list to make sure I had an appointment and a woman then took my temperature. Then I was inside – and still in line. A few zigzagging lines in the lobby and down a hallway took us into the arena and another line. To break up the monotony I paid attention to the yellow social distance stickers on the floor and felt like I was participating in an elaborate cake walk, only the prize for winning was a shot in the arm instead of a beautiful chocolate cake. The arena was divided and separated by tall temporary walls. On one side, a long row of registration tables
were lined up with plexiglass partitions dividing them. After each person was finished registering, designated workers came by with spray bottles to disinfect the chairs and tables. At exactly 1:30 p.m., I was called to my table, where an extremely genial woman named Stacey greeted me and completed my final registration steps. Her daughter, Naee, who was registering another person next to me, also was super-friendly as she listened to our conversation and joined in a little as I asked how their busy days were going. After answering questions generally aimed at trying to determine if I was likely to have an adverse reaction to the vaccine, I was directed to go around the partition to the large section where people were getting their shots and then waiting the requisite 15 minutes to see if there were any immediate reactions. I received my shot at 1:40 p.m. There was a slight prick in my right arm and a sting that lingered for about 30 seconds, but I have had stubbed toes that were more painful than getting that shot. I went with my dominant arm, reasoning if there was soreness, having it in the arm I use the most might work it out a little more quickly. And that was it. If that simple explanation seems anticlimactic after having read so much about standing in line, you know how I felt. The entire point of this journey – getting the vaccine – is actually the least remarkable part of the process. Checking emails and Facebook made the 15-minute wait to watch for severe adverse reactions fly by, and, at 1:56 p.m., I was walking out the front door. Two days of a slightly sore arm and some definite fatigue later, I was feeling fortunate that I was one of the people that didn’t experience adverse reactions and wondering when the notification would come about my second shot.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Resident questions views on prejudice Dear Editor, I read with some consternation the letter to the editor written by the president of the Powhatan Anti-Racism Coalition (PARC) insinuating that Powhatan County has a problem with racial prejudice. She states that this should be a county where “citizens do not have to worry about hostile actions…” Having been a resident of this county for four years, I was aghast. It is my perception, and I hope I am wrong, that PARC feels that the Powhatan Indian mascot is offensive and that the 1619 initiative should be taught as fact to students in our school system as young as kindergarten. Beginning with the 2020-2021 school year, the Virginia DOE offered an elective high school course on African-American history. Powhatan High will offer the course next fall. While this is a commendable addition to the curriculum, apparently the 1619 Project will be among the materials that the instructor may choose as a part of the course of study. This project, created by New York Times journalist Nicole Hannah-Jones, asserts that America became a nation when slaves were brought here and that preserving racism was the real cause of the American Revolution. When NYT columnist Bret Stephens wrote a lengthy essay critiquing some of her errors and calling for her Pulitzer Prize to be revoked, she was “livid.” Stephens writes, “for all of its virtues, buzz, spinoffs and a Pulitzer Prize – the 1619 Project has failed.” (“1619 Project Founder Melts Down after Criticism of Her Fake History,” The Federalist, Octo-
ber 16, 2020). Furthermore, Hannah-Jones “endorsed the nationwide destruction of statues as a product of her historically inaccurate work.” (“Nicole Hannah-Jones Endorses Riots and Toppling Statues as a Product of the 1619 Project,” The Federalist June 20, 2020) Surely this sort of inaccurate rendering of history, created by a journalist, of all people, is not in the best interests of our students. We can no longer sit back and assume that our school district administrators and teachers will accept and teach our values. It is time to get involved and demand transparency. Attend the school board meetings, whose workshops are held on the second Tuesday of the month at 5 p.m. (so convenient for parents) and let the board know your feelings. If we do not, we expose future generations to inaccuracies about and hatred over the founding of this nation. If we are such a hateful, racist people, why are thousands of refugees surging at the Southern border? A house divided against itself cannot stand. We are strong together but weak when we are fighting amongst ourselves. Connie Thompson Powhatan County

No matter what side of the aisle we are on, our passion should be equally ignited, if not more, when selecting our local and state candidates. I have attended many community meetings throughout the metro-Richmond area, and found it concerning how low constituent attendance was. Without becoming involved at the local level, we are chasing the wind in our desire for change. Beyond this, we must recognize the information presented may not be fully transparent and take time to research what is being said. In this, I will provide two examples. On October 28, 2019, Attorney General Herring announced joining a nationwide coalition in fighting for equal pay by filing an amicus brief in a lawsuit that would maintain data collection practices that are critical in combating pay discrimination. In reality, Attorney General Herring was wasting tax dollars by joining this coalition as expanding the EEO-1 reporting was only creating unnecessary burden to the EEOC. While Attorney General Herring stated, “it is inexcusable that such large gender and racial pay disparities continue to exist...”, essentially he was hurting all of those who may need to make an EEOC claim. Attorney General Herring also stated; “Good data is key to identifying problems and crafting solutions,” while ignoring testimony from those who are more specialized in this area: In 2016, Janese Murray testified before the EEOC against the requirement. “Collecting pay data in the highly aggregated manner proposed will not help identify unlawful pay discrimination.” In 2017, Lisa Ponder, SHRM-SCP, vice president and global HR director MWH Constructors Inc. in Broomfield,

Colo., raised employer concerns in testimony before the House Subcommittee on Workforce Protection. “There is no way to show the experience or responsibility levels that dictate an individual’s compensation in the EEO-1 report,” she said. In 2017, the Society of Human Resources Management (“SHRM”) SHRM wrote to the new administrator of OIRA, urging that the agency exercise its independent authority to reconsider the revised EEO-1 form. Most recently, I made a FOIA request from a county in the metro-Richmond area for a text message correspondence that involved a local politician. While this correspondence was concerning, what I found to be more concerning was this county stating they did not have a record of this correspondence. I was stunned by this response as this correspondence was read to me. I then requested their policies related to text messaging and was told: “Regarding cell phone records, some information is available from providers depending on the user and ownership of the device. Typically, the user searches their device for responsive records, if any.” Particularly after everything we experienced in 2020, the dire need for government transparency became more evident than ever before. With this said, how can we be informed citizens when we are unable to access text message correspondence through a FOIA request? We must stop sitting on the sidelines and make a choice to do our homework and use our voice to influence the change we all desire. In my opinion, I believe we are all more similar in our desires than we realize. Sarah Koch Powhatan County

Americans can finally grow hair so thick “It will cover up your bald spots,” says top US Doctor Clinical trials show a new hair loss breakthrough can both help men and women naturally regrow a thick, full head of hair – without drugs, surgery, or side effects
T
housands are rushing to get a new hair restoration method based on surprising new studies from the University of California. It is the world’s first and only hair loss solution that revives dead hair follicles. And studies confirm it helps men and women regrow a thick, full head of hair, even after years of balding. Now, with news of this breakthrough spreading like wildfire — the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with overwhelming demand. That’s because, unlike other methods, it is prescription-free, drug-free, and has no side effects. And while hair transplants can cost $4,000 or more, this new approach costs pennies on the dollar and doesn’t involve going to the doctor’s office. Instead, it leverages cutting-edge technology to prevent hair loss, fill-in embarrassing bald spots, and renourish thinning hair — with results you can see and feel in 30 days or less.
As Jeanne F. from San Diego, CA reports: “When my husband began to use this product, all he had on top of his head was fuzz. His hair began to grow after 30 days and now it is about 2 to 3 inches long!”
Surprising Truth About Hair Loss It is commonly believed that hair loss is hereditary. Unfortunately, most people think there is nothing they can do to stop it. However, while many doctors will tell you that thinning hair, a receding hairline, and bald spots are due to your genetics, this is not the whole story. “While genetics play a role, it’s not the main reason you lose hair,” says Dr. Al Sears, the nation’s top anti-aging doctor. “And surprisingly it’s not just your age, thyroid, hormones, stress, or a vitamin deficiency, either.” The latest scientific research reveals that hair loss is primarily caused by the stem cells in your hair follicles dying. “This discovery is a true breakthrough because by reviving these stem cells on your scalp, you can stop hair loss dead in its tracks and trigger new hair growth, even in areas that have been thinning for years,” explains Dr. Sears. Now, at his world-famous clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Sears and his team have used this game-changing discovery to develop a brandnew hair restoration formula that is taking the country by storm. Sold under the name Re-Nourish, it is flying off the shelves with men and women of all ages raving about the results it delivers. “I have seen a significant improvement in hair growth. Previously, you could see thinning areas at the back of my head and now hair has grown over it,” says Peter W. from Ontario, Canada. And Susan D. from Fort Pierce, Florida reports, “My hair was thinning. So, I began to use
Breakthrough research proves this discovery helps fill-in bald spots, re-nournishes thinning hair, and leads to noticeable growth in as little as 30 days. Re-Nourish every day on the front part of my scalp. Now I have thicker hair.” Dr. Al Sears, M.D., is America’s leading antiaging expert. He’s authored more than 500 scientific papers, and his discoveries have appeared on more than 50 media outlets including, ABC News, CNN, ESPN, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Lifetime, and many more.
Regrows Hair In Just 30 Days Scientists now know that stem cells are the lifeblood of your hair follicles. Research from the University of California shows they’re the reason you’re able to grow hair. However, these stem cells aren’t always active. In fact, studies reveal they’re only active during certain phases of the hair growth cycle. “Your hair grows in three phases,” explains Dr. Sears. “First, you have the anagen phase, the hair growing phase. Then the catagen phase, when hair gets ready to shed. And finally, the telogen phase, where your hair is pushed from the follicle and falls out.” As you get older it becomes harder for your hair follicles to complete this three-phase cycle. The results? Your hairs get stuck in the telogen phase. This is when they start falling out and stop regrowing, no matter what you try. This process doesn’t happen overnight, says Dr. Sears. “At first, your hair dries out, becoming brittle, thin, and harder to style. Then, you start finding hairs on your pillow and down the drain. Finally, you’re left with bald spots that age you prematurely.” Fortunately, Re-Nourish puts a stop to this. It revives the dead stem cells in your hair follicles and reactivates your hair’s three-phase cycle, triggering new growth in as little as 30 days — even in areas that’ve been balding for years.
Reawakens Dead Hair Follicles For years, scientists couldn’t figure out why hair follicle stem cells died. However, a study from the University of California finally found the answer., It has to do with T-cells — an important immune cell in your body. The researchers discovered these T-cells are the only way to command hair follicles to grow new hair. More importantly, they showed that T-cells helped revive the stem cells in your hair follicles — spurring new growth, filling in bald spots and natural hairline.
Re-Nourish uses a unique blend of all-natural ingredients. By spraying it on your hair once per day, scientific studies show you can revive dead stem cells and improve the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. For example, the key nutrient of Re-Nourish was tested on a group of severely balding women. After 6 months, nearly 70% of the women saw significant improvement in hair growth. Their hair was noticeably fuller, thicker, and healthier looking. Most exciting of all, they grew new hair on parts of their scalp that had been bald for years. In another study, Italian researchers gathered a group of both men and women with thinning hair and applied the core ingredient of Re-Nourish. After 12 weeks, they reported a staggering 74% increase in hair growth. “It’s really mind-boggling that my hair started growing back,” says Zan R., another Re-Nourish customer. With results like this, it’s no surprise that demand for Re-Nourish is soaring. Thousands of men and women are scrambling to get their hands on the limited-supply available. Re-Nourish is not currently available in any store at any price. But we’ve secured a small batch for our readers.

example.” Karen Alexander, Powhatan’s director of elections, said she is still waiting on more detailed instructions from the state to know the potential impacts of the voting rights act. “We don’t know specifically how it is going to affect us yet, but in regard to providing nondiscriminatory voting opportunities to all residents, that is not going to change because we have always provided that,” she said. Currently, Alexander said her biggest concerns are the unknowns. The governor made the announcement to everyone at the same time, and voter registrar offices across the state are waiting for the specifics about how the changes will be administered, she said. Much like the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act proposed at the federal level, the Virginia law will restore and build on provisions of the since-gutted 1965 federal Voting Rights Act, according to the governor’s office. In June 2013, the United States Supreme Court struck down the requirement that several counties and nine states with a history of racial discrimination—including Virginia— seek pre-clearance before making voting changes. Since that time, dozens of states have considered and passed new laws that restrict voting rights, the release said. “The Voting Rights Act of Virginia is a huge victory for our democracy,” McClellan said in the release. “While other states are threatening voting rights, Virginia took a major step today to protect the right to vote. I am proud that our Commonwealth is leading the way, becoming the first state in the South to pass a Voting Rights Act. This law will help to safeguard every Virginian’s access to the ballot for generations to come.” The Voting Rights Act of Virginia prohibits discrimination in elections administration, requires local election officials to get feedback or pre-approval for voting changes, and allows individuals to sue in cases of voter suppression, according to the release. It requires localities seek public comment or pre-approval from the Office of the Attorney General on any proposed voting changes and empowers voters and/or the attorney general to sue in cases of voter suppression. Civil penalties awarded as a result of voting discrimination will go toward a new Voter Education and Outreach Fund. The pre-approval process to make voting changes is one area where Alexander said she could see the most potential strain on localities like Powhatan, depending on the guidelines established by the state. “Any time we make a change, we go through the state to make sure they are aware of the changes we are making and to make sure they meet guidelines. However, depending on what their approval process is going to be, it could restrict our ability to make emergency changes if necessary,” Alexander said. She gave the example of a voting precinct experiencing an emergency such
as busted pipes leading to flooding a week before an election, making it necessary to change locations abruptly. “Currently we would make ELECT aware of that change and we would do our due diligence to get the word out. I am not sure how this new legislation is going to change our ability to make those decisions quickly and if it could slow us down in making these necessary changes,” she said. “So there is still a lot for us to wait to see whether it really is a safeguard or if it is a Big Brother watching process where we are going to be limited in our scope to serve the way we know we need to serve our residents.” As far as the fear of lawsuits, Alexander said she hopes it is not a hurdle to recruiting poll workers. However, she said she doesn’t have any worries about the measures to protect against voter suppression, which is not an issue in Powhatan. “We never tell anyone that they cannot vote. We will redirect people or offer provisional ballots, but we never tell anyone that they cannot vote,” she said. The Voting Rights Act of Virginia prohibits atlarge local elections if they dilute the voting power of racial minorities, according to the governor’s office. It also ensures accessibility by requiring local election officials provide voting materials in foreign languages, as needed. Powhatan currently offers ballots only in English, but Alexander said they do have access to some election documents in other languages if a resident requests them, which has not happened yet. The governor is also approved two additional bills that build on the Commonwealth’s efforts to ensure all Virginians had equitable access to the ballot box during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the release. These measures require localities to establish drop off locations for the return of absentee ballots, include prepaid return postage on absentee ballots, and allow voters to fix mistakes they may have made on their absentee ballot envelopes. These bills also ensure Virginians who are blind or vision impaired have the tools they need to cast their vote. Alexander said Powhatan already offers all these things. The office has had a drop box location in place since June 2020. Powhatan also provided prepaid return postage, allowing voters to fix mistakes on absentee ballot envelopes, and vision impaired assistance with ballots began being offered in September 2020 for the presidential election, she said. HB 1890 passed the House of Delegates on Feb. 1 in a 55-45 vote and the state Senate on Feb. 25 in a 21-18 vote. SB 1395, which is identical to HB 1890, passed the House with the same vote on Feb. 15 and the Senate in a 2117 vote on Feb. 5. Powhatan’s elected officials in the General Assembly were on opposite sides on this particular issue. Del. Lee Ware, R-65, voted against both bills in the House, while State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield, voted for them in the Senate. Ware said that despite its appealing name, the Vir-
ginia Voting Rights Act “belies its costly, divisive, and onerous provisions.” He argued the law does not enhance voting for citizens but instead designates a protected class of voters and institutes an array of provisions for them. “It then makes violations of this array of provisions – some vague and unclear, others minutely prescriptive – punishable by a $50,000 fine, a Class 1 Misdemeanor (the highest category of misdemeanor) and authorizes the attorney general to sue local governments,” Ware said. The original federal Voting Rights Act was aimed at practices that wrongly prevented black people from voting, Ware said. The new Virginia law micromanages election administration, subjects hardworking elections officials in the Commonwealth to the prospect of expensive and lengthy litigation, and does so in a way that heightens divisions based on race and “language minority groups.” He pointed out that the bill specifically addresses and applies to only “citizens protected from discrimination based on race or color or membership in a language minority group.” Ware also brought up the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down part of the federal Voting Rights Act, which required states to obtain federal permission before enacting any law relating to voting. The 2013 ruling said that the “conditions that originally justified these measures no longer characterize voting in the covered jurisdictions.” Hashmi said the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was revolutionary because it protected at the federal level violations that had occurred historically throughout the country in preventing so many people from their legitimate access to the ballot. When the federal law was “gutted” in 2013, it “put vulnerable communities back in the position of having to fight every step of the way to protect their access to the ballot.” Hashmi pointed to situations in other states such as recent measures in Georgia to add new identification requirements for absentee voting and increasing the oversight the state legislature has on how elections are run. She called Virginia’s law a way to protect the rights of all citizens to make sure voting is as accessible and broad as possible and make sure what is happening in other states doesn’t happen here. If Virginia doesn’t have the legal restrictions in place to ensure that every voter has the right to cast a ballot, “we face the concern of bringing back these kinds of Draconian restrictions on voting access,” she said. As far as fears about the restrictions on localities and election officials, Hashmi said the language regarding getting approval for broad level changes replicates what was in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and was used successfully at the federal level until 2013. “Because the federal level is no longer providing that kind of protection for voters, the state is now stepping into do that. So Virginia has those protections built back into the system once again,” she said.

6 gold medals, 13 total, at nationals By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor After establishing himself as one of the fastest 11-year-old swimmers in the country this past winter, Powhatan Middle School sixth grader Aidin Muminovic, who turned 12 in February, put a fiery exclamation point on the season with a phenomenal meet at nationals. Competing in 13 events this past weekend at the National Swim Club Association Age Group National Championships in Orlando, Florida, Muminovic took home 13 medals, including six first-place finishes, from the boys’ 11-12 age group. Four of his gold medals came in two freestyle relays and two medley relays with his Nova of Virginia Aquatics
teammates. In the 200-yard free relay, Muminovic swam the first 50 yards in 25.09 to give his team the lead. And in the 400 relay, Muminovic – swimming the final 100 yards as the anchor – delivered a blistering swim of 52.83 to come from behind and secure the gold for his team. He had an even better time as the anchor in the 400 medley relay, swimming an incendiary freestyle time of 52.79 in the final 100 yards to once more come from behind and ensure that his team won the gold. Earlier in nationals, he unleashed a 24.68 as the anchor and freestyle swimmer in the final 50 yards of the 200 medley relay to cap the team’s gold-medal swim. see MUMINOVIC, pg. 4B

A crucial victory In first game in 2 weeks, Powhatan volleyball wins 3-0, heads into playoff s
Powhatan shuts out Chiefs, advances into postseason By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor
By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN -- When Powhatan’s volleyball team had to go on a two-week pause, senior Kenzie Urbine said they used those two weeks as a mental training period. While the players worked out on their own, head coach Cindy Bryant sent them videos to study, and they all came together over a team group chat, through which they all sent each other photos and kept encouraging each other. “I think that really helped us keep our bond over the two weeks,” Urbine said. “We all held ourselves accountable to that, and we did what we needed to do, and now we’re back, and it’s awesome.” see VOLLEYBALL, pg. 2B

POWHATAN -- The tone for Powhatan’s last game of the season was set on the first play. Fielding the opening kickoff from the 6-yard line, Powhatan High School senior Aaron Nash followed his blockers along the right side, turned on the jets to pick up speed through open space in the middle, faded to his left to avert the Midlothian kicker’s attempted tackle, and set sail the rest of the way to reach the end zone. “That was a really good way to start the game off,” Nash said of his 94-yard touchdown. “Every return that I had this year that was kicked to me, we’ve just had tremendous blocking, and I cannot ask for much more from them.” From there, Powhatan protected its lead for the rest of the game, denying the Trojans 20-13 to conclude the 202021 campaign with a record of 4-2. “It means a lot - the last game of the season, the last game for my senior
Monacan was one of the teams the Powhatan Indians had struggles against last season, as they lost to the Chiefs in the Region 4B quarterfinals in 2019. After taking a narrow 3-2 loss to Monacan earlier this season, but then winning four of their last six heading into last Tuesday’s game, the surging Indians needed to defeat the Chiefs to keep their postseason hopes alive. They broke through. And they did so with command. Facing Monacan at River City Sportsplex, Powhatan’s varsity field hockey unit won via a 3-0 shutout to help secure the team’s spot in the Class 4, Region B tournament. “We keep getting better, we keep getting stronger,” Powhatan coach Caryn Rehme said last Tuesday night. “We keep capitalizing.” Senior Kaitlin Thompson put the Indians on the scoreboard with a direct shot off of a penalty corner, and Kate Adams and Joy Johnson each scored insurance goals to grow Powhatan’s lead. see FIELD HOCKEY, pg. 2B

year,” said Nash. “I’ve been around these guys for a long time, and to cherish it with a win is the biggest thing ever.” “We told the guys: The guys that you come into battle with all season long, this is why you do it...guys that you work so hard with and that you love,” said Powhatan head football coach Mike Henderson. “We told them they’re going to remember this game FILE/POWHATAN TODAY forever, and they are.” Casey Grell and her Powhatan field The Indians’ defense terrorized the hockey teammates shut out Monacan see FOOTBALL, pg. 2B

C & F BANK’S ATHLETE OF THE WEEK FOOTBALL ALL-STAR
WHO: JOSH DECKER WHAT HE DID: In spite of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s 60-41 loss to Broadwater Academy in the Knights’ first game back on the field in three weeks on March 27,
Decker shined brightly in the second half of that Saturday-afternoon game as he scored three rushing touchdowns from 13, 6, and 8 yards out. He also scored on a 21-yard catch-and-run from teammate and BSH quarterback Zander Nadeau in the first quarter. Decker rushed for 163 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries and caught two passes for 39 yards and a touchdown. “He’s such a tough runner, and he’s such an integral part of our team,” BSH head football coach Gary Brock said of Decker, a junior. Decker also had five tackles on defense.

Cheatham exploded off the block and barreled up the middle and into the end zone for the 32-yard touchdown. In the third quarter, Midlothian twice started at Powhatan’s 23 by nabbing two turnovers - one on an interception, the other on a fumble recovered by Zachary Phillips - but after both drives, the visiting team was held to a 37-yard field goal after Ethan Dowdy halted the Trojans’ first bid on an interception in the end zone.
The Trojans got another short-field try in the quarter when they started at Powhatan’s 21 following a punt. They drove to Powhatan’s 4, but Gayness got in front of another Midlothian pass and made the catch for his second pick of the night. Hamersley in the fourth quarter would break up a fourth-down pass to force a turnover on downs at the Trojans’ 33 with about 3 minutes left in regulation. Powhatan drove the ball all the way to Midlothian’s 8-yard line with 24.5 seconds left before the Trojans got the ball back via a turnover on downs. The Trojans’ final drive, however, was shut down by Hamersley when he caught his second pick of the game with 7 seconds remaining. For Midlothian, Jalen Rembert rushed for a 63-yard touchdown, and Maxx Lawton kicked two field goals from 32 and 37 yards out. With this year’s playoffs only taking the top four teams in each region, Powhatan barely missed out on making this year’s postseason with setbacks this season to No. 1 Region 4B team Monacan (26-14) and No. 2 Region 5B team Manchester (28-23). In addition to Thursday’s seasonending victory over its rival Midlothian, Powhatan’s victories in 2020-21 featured a 53-0 blowout of Cosby, a 16-0 season-opening shutout of L.C. Bird, and a wild, 43-42 triple-overtime thriller of a triumph over Clover Hill. “We’re tough,” Henderson said. “I love this football team. I love them.” For Nash, it’s meant a lot to have this season. “I’m going to miss it so much,” he said. “I’m going to miss it.”
advice and started doing that and that helped me stay on top of everything,” Urbine said, “and then I knew, when the set was good, to put the ball down, and when I knew the set was off, to just swing to just get it on the court, and that helped me a lot.” “One of the big discussions we’ve been having…with all of our attackers is about the importance to stay aggressive, but also reduce your errors,” Bryant said. “Tonight, we felt like Kenzie did that the best she has all season. She killed the ball that was the perfect-set kill ball, and then she just recycled, or hit smartly, and kept into the court the ball that wasn’t, and…most of our hitters did that tonight well, and that was one of our goals coming back.” Libero Kendal McMullin had 16 digs, 3 aces, and three assists, and diving force Allie Dulio had seven digs, 1
ace, and one assist. Mueller once again showcased her versatility by adding nine digs to her strong night on offense. Powhatan’s talented sophomore class also factored into Wednesday’s victory, as Chesed Russell delivered 8 kills and brought a strong presence up the middle. “(It’s) not just kills, it’s smart reaction times,” Bryant said of Russell. “She’s bringing a lot to us for us there in the middle.” Olivia Moss moved up from JV and contributed her serving and several strong first touches on the attack-receives and serve-receives to the team’s victory. She delivered 2 aces and also had four digs. “She came up and did exactly what we needed her to do,” Bryant said. Sydney Wade, taking up the mantle of the team’s leading setter this season, continued her ascension as she racked up 31 assists. “Not an easy job to take that role on as a sophomore…it’s a tough job and… we’re high-expectation coaches expecting her to lead,” Bryant said of Wade. “But she’s doing it. It’s game-by-game, we’re mentoring and training, and she’s stepping up.” In the first set, the Cavaliers cut the Indians’ lead from 15-4 to 18-13, but after a timeout, Wade’s setter dump attack – which Clover Hill hit away on the receive – sparked Powhatan’s setclinching 7-3 run, featuring another booming attack from Mueller that the visitors bumped into the bleachers, as well as a kill from sophomore Carly Rehme that scraped across the top of the netting and hit the Cavaliers’ shallow floor. Urbine kickstarted Powhatan’s second-set offense with two straight attacks for a 2-0 lead, and in a back-andforth stanza that saw the two teams tie up to 22-22, she put away the set point, which was kept alive on a wild save by her teammate Mueller, who went to the ground and made a timely hit to return the ball in a high and powerful arch to Clover Hill’s side.
The Cavaliers led 10-7 in the third set, but a kill from Urbine shifted serving duties to Powhatan’s Emilie McDaniels, who served for 7 straight points. Russell had the final go-ahead point of the evening when, without hesitation, she slapped a teammate’s reflexive return of a Clover Hill attack back over the net and into the Cavaliers’ shallow open court for an 11-10 Powhatan lead. Clover Hill would stay close for the rest of the set, getting Powhatan’s advantage down to 23-21. But a Cavaliers’ serve hit the net, and on set point, a Clover Hill player, on a low dive, punted Urbine’s attack to her left and across the floor, sealing the straight-sets victory for Powhatan. Powhatan (6-2) ended its regular season by defeating L.C. Bird in straight sets (25-9, 25-11, 25-13) on Thursday. Among the team’s three seniors, Kenzie Urbine had 5 aces and 8 kills, Natalie Mueller had 7 kills, 2 aces, two assists, and two digs, and Julia Nuckols had 3 aces and 4 kills. Powhatan, who was vying for the No. 2 seed in the South with Patrick Henry, advanced into the Class 4, Region B playoffs and will play away at either Courtland or Chancellor on Tuesday, April 13, in the regional semifinal. “We’ve been having some very frank conversations during this time with our volleyball players that, if we make it in there, it’s a gift to us,” Bryant said Wednesday, “and we have to go – we’re obligated to go and represent for Patrick Henry, and the energy that they displayed on the court and the sidelines tonight… we have been telling them we’ve got to rise and do that. We have got to have a team energy that’s different from what we’ve had to this point, and you’ve got to be a difference-maker on the bench… “Tonight we saw a taste of that, and so we are super excited, because that’s going to go a long ways,” Bryant said. “Again, Patrick Henry has modeled that for us. I as a coach value that, and I’m saying we’re going to represent that if we get this opportunity.”
is always solid back there, and Hannah Johnson, she’s young, but she really stepped up today.” Offensively, Jordan Krauss had a great game, with Rehme complimenting her pullback moves, her play on the right side, and her reads of the opposing defense. Rehme also praised what she said was an incredible, “another-level move” from freshman Casey Grell, who, while possessing the ball, baited a Monacan defender to the left with what Rehme described as “almost like a slow-motion bait to the left,” then picked up the pace with a pull dodge back to the right to bypass and clear the opponent. “Just really incredible to watch and to see: ‘Hey, they really are getting this,’” Rehme said of the players. “We are now entering another level of hockey, and that’s I think what we work so hard for as coaches.”
The Indians did have two opportunities to score on penalty strokes, but Rehme said they did not capitalize on them. “We’ll get better at that,” Rehme said. “That’s certainly something we’re going to be practicing tomorrow.” Last Tuesday was also an emotional day, as the girls came together to celebrate the life of Henrico student Lucia Bremer, who was tragically shot and killed last Friday in the Gayton Forest West community, just behind Mills Godwin High School. Bremer was a close friend with one of the coach’s families, and she attended a Powhatan field hockey summer camp in Powhatan County in 2019. The day before, the girls after practice put together signs and decorations, and they released balloons at the end in Bremer’s memory last Tuesday. “It was hard for some of them, but they just really came together, and
they had a purpose,” Rehme said. “This team is special in the sense that, each game, we get stronger, we get closer. They really like being around each other, and it really showed the past couple of days of all of them working together to pull this off and make this happen…a special, emotional day.” Powhatan (6-4) ended the regular season on Thursday with a 6-0 win over L.C. Bird. Rehme said that the Indians were able to get the younger players onto the field for most of the game. There was ultimately a three-way tie for second place in Class 4, Region B between Mechanicsville, Powhatan, and Monacan, and after the tiebreaking procedures (which also included a coin flip), Powhatan was named the No. 3 seed. Mechanicsville, seeded No. 2, will host the Indians in the semifinals on Monday, April 12, at 6 p.m.

Trojans’ passing game, racking up five interceptions and nabbing two of their five picks in the red zone to stop two strong Midlothian drives. Chase Gayness and Fisher Hamersley each hauled in two interceptions, and Ethan Dowdy caught one. “We prepared all week for it, Coach (Blake) Derby put them in good spots, but you’ve got to give those guys credit for making plays,” Henderson said. “We were confident coming in, and we were able to make the plays, so it was awesome.” Nash, taking on the role of quarterback in his final varsity football game, rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown to go along with his game-opening 94yard kick return. “He’s a special athlete,” Henderson said. “We wanted to get the ball in his hands one game where he had the ball in his hands every play of the game, and we told him: ‘You’re going to have the ball in your hands every play; you’re going to make some plays,’ and he made some for us.” Junior running back Andrew Cheatham complemented Nash in the backfield by rushing for 55 yards and a touchdown. Powhatan’s defense in the first half forced four turnovers: two on downs and two on interceptions. With his team leading 7-3, Gayness picked off a deflected Trojans pass to push Powhatan up to Midlothian’s 45-yard line, and with the help of Cheatham and Nash’s steady run game and a crucial 11-yard pass on fourth down from

After one one-hour afterschool practice, Powhatan played its return game on Wednesday against Clover Hill: a team that, earlier in the season, took a set off of the Indians, but still fell to Powhatan 3-1. “We just came (into Wednesday’s game) and did what we did,” Urbine said, “and it worked.” Powhatan not only won in its return, but it showed improvement over the last time it played the Cavaliers by beating them in straight sets (25-16, 25-23, 2521) this time around. “It felt great to be back,” Urbine said, adding of Wednesday’s win in comparison to the first time they played the Cavaliers: “We worked better as a team, and that was what made a difference.” Wednesday’s triumph was also crucial when it came to keeping Powhatan in the Class 4, Region B playoff conversation in spite of the two-week pause. “We’re excited to be back on the court and excited to have a very necessary win to head us into potential postseason play,” Powhatan head coach Cindy Bryant said Wednesday. “It’s not necessarily the easiest thing to come back after 14 days off the court and play well together, and it wasn’t without its moments, but they pulled it out, and they did well.” And Powhatan’s goal was to go 3-0 versus Clover Hill. “We needed to see ourselves do that,” Bryant said. Urbine and her fellow senior Natalie Mueller led the way on offense, as Mueller hammered the ball for a teamleading 14 kills and 3 aces, and Urbine, showcasing tremendous consistency to go along with her power, tallied up 12 kills and secured two of three set points on her attacks. “My (coaches were) telling me: ‘Hey, instead of swinging so hard at this ball, let’s do this,’ and I just took their

Lexie Campbell also had an assist. Rehme praised the team effort on defense. “We’ve spent a good deal of the practice yesterday really working on defensive skills, working on making sure they’re picking up, and when to come out,” Rehme said. “I think it all came together today with the defense and the offense.” Junior goalie Peyton Tuttle racked up eight saves, and the defenders played well in front of her. “Peyton Tuttle had a great game, very aggressive back there. Savannah Johnson stepped up. We worked on a lot of things with her: kind of not staying back, coming up through the defense, and she did a great job doing that,” Rehme said. “Catherine Griffith
