PHS parents throw prom block party By Laura McFarland
“We wanted for them to have an all senior function – a senior memory. If they had to look back on this whole debacle of a year for their senior year, what memory could we give them to wash away all the bad stuff,” she said. In total, the event saw 178 students and guests attend the prom, which included a dance floor under a tent with a DJ, cornhole boards on the courthouse lawn, ice cream and snacks, and photo opportunities. The dress code was simply “dress to impress.” Overall, Tester said the students were very appreciative. Senior Brianna Tribble said, “The prom was my first experience at a high school dance, and I had a great time and thought it was a great way to experience a classic senior moment in these weird times.” Senior Emmalee Lawson said, “I thought the senior prom was perfect! It was only the

POWHATAN – Powhatan High School seniors recently had a Footloose moment of their own when the Courthouse Village area was turned into their dance floor. When it became obvious that continued COVID-19 restrictions meant the school system could not hold a traditional prom this year, parents of PHS seniors banded together in recent weeks to do it on their own. The result was An Evening Under the Stars, an outdoor prom block party held on Friday, April 30 in front of the Powhatan County Courthouse. The event was aimed at giving members of the Class of 2021 a little taste of normal on a year that has been anything but, said Jennifer Tester, mom of twin seniors, Jackson and Davis Tester.

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors held its public hearing on the fiscal year (FY) 2022 operating budget last week, but it was not only a meeting about numbers. The public hearing was held during the board’s meeting on Monday, May 3 in anticipation of the final vote, which was expected to take place during its meeting on Monday, May 10. That meeting occurred after press time. Up for discussion was the FY 2022 operating budget, which the board advertised at $100,170,484 without transfers. The proposed budget represents an increase of 16.5% from the FY 2021 adopted operating budget, which the board took a very conservative approach with when they adopted it in June 2020 before anyone knew how the pandemic might impact November 2020 tax collection rates. The bulk of the $14.2 million increase in the proposed budget over the FY 2021 budget comes from $9.1 million in capital projects. The county did not originally budget any capital projects at the

start of the current fiscal year. But during the meeting, two main topics got the spotlight, and it wasn’t always about the numbers. The two most discussed issues related to requests for additional library staff members and a few matters that could result in the board of supervisors reducing the county’s transfer to the school division. Library request Five of the seven people who spoke during the public hearing asked the supervisors to consider granting Powhatan County Public Library the additional staff it requested to fill its needs, citing how important the library is to the community. The current proposed budget includes 14.3 full time equivalent (FTE) positions spread over a variety of departments. However, none of them are in the library, which requested three positions totaling $93,765 in the FY 2022 budget. Some of the speakers pointed out that the library currently has 6.75 FTEs. This is below the staffing level recommended by the Library of Virginia based on the county’s population, see BUDGET, pg. 4

The Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District has approved approximately $260,000 dollars of funding to area farmers and landowners. The funding is from the Virginia Agricultural Cost Share Program (VACS). The purpose of this funding is to cover a portion of the cost for farmers to install conservation practices to reduce erosion and nutrient runoff to improve water quality. This funding will implement approximately 144 separate conservation practices in Goochland and Powhatan counties. These practices included converting erosive cropland to permanent grassland, installing fencing and excluding livestock access and waste from streams, continuous no-till cultivation of crops, and several new practices to more efficiently use and prevent runoff in the application of nitrogen and phosphorous from cropland. The grant of funds from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for this program is the largest amount of funding the Monacan District has received in the last ten years. There are still funds available to assist other farmers and landowners with installing additional practices. For information, contact the Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District at 804-556-4936.

At 10:05 p.m., Virginia State Police responded to a crash in the 4700 block of Anderson Highway.

County acquires land to build east convenience center By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors took a step forward last week in its plans to open a new convenience center for trash and recycling in the east end of the county. During its meeting on Monday, May 3, the board voted unanimously to authorize county administrator Ned Smither to executive a contract with Shady Oaks Urbine LLC to purchase 19.761 acres on Anderson Highway just east of the business complex located at South Creek One. It is the property immediately to the east of Salisbury Tire and Service. The purchase price for the property is $850,000, which was borrowed as part of a 2018 bond package. The deal is subject to a 90-day due diligence period on the property, Smither said. The board voted 5-0 in favor of the agreement without discussion during the meeting.
Smither said in a separate interview that staff will evaluate the wooded property to make sure it meets the county’s needs. They have to consider factors such as wanting to keep a good wooded buffer between the convenience center and the frontage visible from Anderson Highway, environmental concerns since a creek is located at the rear of the property, and factoring in the eventual expansion of the section of Carter Gallier Boulevard that runs behind the shopping center there. The current vision is to have the entrance to the convenience center off of Carter Gallier Boulevard, Smither said. “We would love not to have any access from Route 60. If you have heard the board’s concerns, any time you can minimize the amount of access points on Route 60, the better,” he said. “With this particular access, the taxpayers on the northeast corner of the county will never have to drive on Route 60. They can come in from Judes Ferry and enter the property and never touch Route 60.”
Powhatan Job Fair aims to promote local hiring By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – Powhatan County will host its first job fair in recent memory to help connect local businesses looking for workers and candidates searching for new opportunities. The Powhatan Community Job Fair will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 20 at the Pocahontas Landmark Center, 4290 Anderson Highway gym. It is being sponsored by the Powhatan County Economic Develop Department, Moslow Wood Products, and the Powhatan Economic Development Authority. While the job fair will have a few companies from outside of the county, the focus of the event is really to help Powhatan businesses in need of filling out their workforces, said Roxanne Salerno, economic development program manager. As of last week, Salerno said the companies that would be at the job fair
~ IF YOU GO ~ The Powhatan Community Job Fair 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 20 at the Pocahontas Landmark Center, 4290 Anderson Highway gym. already represent more than 50 different jobs available in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, transportation, hospitality, real estate, landscaping, sales, and government. “I just hope that whatever businesses show up can find quality candidates. And I hope citizens throughout Powhatan and surrounding areas in need of a job can come and find something that will work for them. We are essentially hoping to make that perfect match with local
While the county will not have a final site plan in the next 90 days, staff will use the due diligence time to make sure they can work around the concerns, such as the creek, road extension, and buffer, and still have room for the convenience center, Smither said. The current convenience center property off of Mitchell Road is 4.59 acres with approximately 3.5 acres of usable space, said Ramona Carter, director of public works. While plans still have to be developed, the county would like the new site to be 5+ acres of usable space that would be paved for the new convenience center. The property the county is purchasing is one of five staff considered in the east end of the county during the course of the search done by SCS Engineers, an environmental consultant and contractor firm, Carter said. Much of the nearby properties are businesses, but the county will notify them as well as any residential neighbors if the deal moves forward and rezoning is necessary.
Carter said access into and leaving the new site will be important as well as how the new convenience center is laid out. One modification they are considering that would be different from the old center is having trash compactors that could be accessed from two sides to help the flow of traffic. The center also needs plenty of room for recycling. While opening a second convenience center means the county may seem some uptick in total overall trash and recycling collections, Smither said having the loads split between two locations will increase efficiency for residents. “Both customers on the east end and west end are going to receive a better product. Right now our one location is taking all the flow, and it is difficult to manage that much flow at one site,” he said. However, Carter pointed out that the county had already seen a huge uptick in volume at its current site, at least part of which she attributes to the waste from online shopping.

County administrator Ned Smither said the speakers made good points. He said it was a tough year for requesting new positions because the
county was already looking at adding so many in other departments. He said there is a case to be made that an investment in the library is due in FY 2022 or FY 2023. Bill Cox, who represents District 4, acknowledged that he was one of the first to ask Smither to bring down the number of new hire requests but said he personally wanted to ask that they reconsider funding the library positions.

provided the supervisors a document that broke down the school board budget’s so they could see some of the key line items that had been changed or discussed recently. One of those line items was $127,000 that the school board proposed to use to address salary compression and targeted raises. During last week’s meeting, Cox pointed to the compression line item and said he didn’t think the county should fund it.
He argued the school board has enough money in its existing budget to cover that cost without additional funds. Mike Byerly, District 3, said he couldn’t say with certainty where he was on the final budget figures because he was still waiting for information he requested from the school division regarding curriculum and contracts with outside resources tied to social issues.

I just love any animal,” she said. “He’s got a good personality.” Deal said she was most excited about the fundraiser, which was spearheaded by the school’s PTO to raise money for playground accessories and teacher appreciation. The school raised more than $7,000. “I am excited that we have the community and families to support us and that everyone is excited about what we are doing,” she said. The school and PTO worked with Taylor Thrasher, a representative for Booster, to hold a Boosterthon fundraiser, which is fitness and character themed. Powhatan Elementary was originally going to try an in-person fundraiser with Booster last year but had to postpone because of COVID-19. This year, they signed up for a virtual option the company offered, Deal said. The company arrived on May 5 for a kickoff and spent seven days doing related activities with the school, and kissing Tucker was the culmination of the effort, Thrasher said. They did a virtual pep rally, taught new character words every day, and ended with a dance event. PTO president Christyn Ryman said the parent group was thrilled to do the

fundraiser because Powhatan Elementary is amazing and the teachers deserve the appreciation. “The teachers are just awesome, and we wanted to give back to the kids,” she said. “They need some shade out there. It’s hot on that playground and they are always hot and sweaty, so we want to get them some big playground shades to sit under on sunny days.” A fellow PTO member came up with the idea for Worrell and Deal kissing a pig to be prize for the students if the school reached its signup goal. They had heard about Tucker before and reached out to his owners to see if he was available. “They said he would be happy to do it. He would have his teeth brushed and be ready to go,” Ryman said with a laugh. Kim Johnson and her husband Mark were equally thrilled to bring their pig Tucker to the school for the event. Before the pandemic, they would take him to visit nursing homes and schools, but last week’s event at the elementary school was his first guest appearance in about a year, she said. “He loves people and we love the community, so we thought it would be a great thing to bring him out. We knew he would be welcomed and we knew he would love it. He is a ham,” Johnson joked. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

The parents of Powhatan High School seniors banded together to host a prom block party on April 30 in the street and lawn in front of the Powhatan County Courthouse. Students dance, snacked, played cornhole, and took photos.
PROM Continued from pg. 1
Class of 2021 and everyone got along. There was no drama, and it was probably better than what a real prom would be like. The parents did an amazing job and so did everyone else who helped in the county. I couldn’t be more grateful.” “Prom was a really, really good night. I want to thank the parents for putting it together. I think all the seniors appreciated it,” said Iyana Palmore, senior. Senior Julia Nuckols said she has a great time and “loved how it was outdoors and the community came together.” “Prom in the Village felt just like home,” said senior Jacob Oliver. Senior Emily Nuckols said it was the best prom by far. “I loved the local feel of everything,” she said. Emily Nuckols had an extra special moment during the event when she and Jaysun Carroll were named the Queen and King of Prom. The two were Homecoming King and Queen, but since that couldn’t be recognized fully in front of all of their peers for Homecoming, they got their special moment at prom. Moments like these were what Jennifer Tester, Paula Griggs, and Jennifer Johnson – the three moms who spearheaded the prom project – wanted most for the students when they were planning the prom. Everybody
missed out on somethingg during the pandemic, but thee Class of 2021 had to misss out on almost all the tradi-tions of a normal seniorr year, Tester said. That is why, when a fellow parent asked a question about the possibility of prom happening in a private PHS senior parent Facebook group on Feb. 22, there was immediate support for the idea, Tester said. When it became evident the school administration’s hands were tied, they decided to do it themselves. “Once we realized they were restricted, we said we as parents can do this. We have the resources. We have a community. We can make this work. Will it be perfect? Probably not, but can we at least move the goal post down the field and get it done? Yeah, I think we can,” Tester said. The weeks that followed were filled with chasing ideas to see what they could make happen. They tried reaching out to numerous private venues to see if the event could be held there, she said. “We were just throwing paint at the wall. The restrictions were really tight, but there was that hint things were going to be loosening up,” she said. “We just started calling around and asking who would throw us a bone. Who would entertain the idea of hosting an outdoor senior prom?” Johnson, whose daughter Abigail Johnson is a senior, said she
liked the idea of an outdoor prom in the Village from the beginning, and when the group finally connected with Tracy Cifers, coowner of the County Seat Restaurant and Gathering Place, the idea really started to come together. Cifers partnered with them so they could use the venue’s VDOT permit to close the street in front of the courthouse for the prom and helped them in numerous other ways. The trio also gave major kudos to sheriff Brad Nunnally, who also helped them immensely as they navigated how to make the event happen and keep it as safe as possible for everyone. All three women pointed out numerous times that they couldn’t have pulled the dance off without plenty of assistance and guidance, including 40 volunteers who helped before, during, and after the prom. That’s why, when they were designing T-shirts for adult volunteers to wear on the day of the event, they all had #ItTakesAVillage on the back of them, said Griggs, mom
oof senior Michael Griggs. Tester and Johnson called themselves the “dreamers” th in the planning process and said Griggs was the “maker,” bringing the technical background to bring those ideas to life. To make the event happen, the parents sold prom tickets to students, gathered business sponsors, and sold senior T-shirts and senior yard signs, Griggs said. In total, they raised more than $6,000 to pay for the event, she said. After everything was paid for, they had about $500 remaining, so they decided to donate it to Huguenot Volunteer Fire Station in honor of the late Mike Lecik, whose daughter Amery Lecik is also a member of the Class of 2021. In addition to the prom for the students, the group decided to make the event as Powhatan-centered as possible, Johnson said. They solicited sponsors, who were extremely supportive of the event. But they also tried to give back by encouraging PHS families to support those businesses in return, especially the restaurants the night of prom and the next day.
Chris Howell, owner of EarPleezers, has a senior, Nadia Howell, so he agreed to DJ the event for free, Griggs said. Dominion Voice and Data donated a party limousine bus to be able to safely get the kids to and from the parking area located at the Powhatan Rescue Squad field, which was also donated. “The right people in the community wanted to see it happen as much as we did and that is how it got done,” Tester said.

Education is key against a ‘preventable harm’ By Laura McFarland Editor
There is no experience quite like listening to a 911 call recording. Listening to the caller’s pain, terror, and helplessness as they cry out for help for themselves or someone else hits you in the gut like you wouldn’t believe. I have complete respect for Powhatan’s public safety communications officers for the work they do handling that barrage of emotion and doing their best to get those people aid. In the almost seven years I have worked for the Powhatan Today I have not listened to an endless number of 911 recordings, but I’ve heard a few. They were generally tied to a criminal case or a life-saving achievement, and every single one of them had a powerful impact on me. In recent years, the county has recognized two groups of citizens who came to the aid of men who had collapsed in cardiac arrest. One was a man who slumped over in his vehicle in his driveway, was dragged out by his distraught wife, and spotted by some workers passing by who came and started CPR. The other incident involved a seemingly healthy man out for a bike ride collapsing from a heart attack. Again, strangers passing by came to his rescue and administered CPR until the first of several fire and rescue crews arrived.
I thought about two of those calls in particular recently when I was pressing down on the chest of a CPR dummy, wondering if I was doing it correctly – wondering if I could do it to save a life if the situation called for it. It started a few hours earlier and, as with what often happens with me, was totally unrelated. On April 28, I visited the Free Clinic of Powhatan to do a video to show off the new clinic. After we finished filming, I stayed and chatted for a few minutes with volunteers and staff. During the course of the conversation, I found out that several of the Free Clinic people would be participating in a CPR certification class that night. They offered to let me participate as well, and, since I hadn’t been certified in a number of years, I agreed. So with only a few hours’ notice, I found myself arriving at the Powhatan Rescue Squad Building to participate in a CPR class taught by CPR instructor Jamie Babcock, who teaches through Emergency Service Solutions. During the class, we learned about the mechanics of CPR – with a special focus on the compressions and rescue breaths – on adults, children and infants; Good Samaritan laws that were created to protect people just trying to help even without full medical training; how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED); personal protective gear you can have on hand; dealing with situations of choking, and more. It was an informative three-hour class. But out of all of that information, you know what

Reader supports schools’ diversity efforts Dear Editor, I am a concerned citizen addressing the pushback against the school board and administration’s consideration of a Virginia Department of Education approved African-American History elective class for Powhatan High School students. This course is a long-overdue curricular addition to provide a fuller, more inclusive history of our nation, our Commonwealth, and our community. I find it quite ironic that such a class offering is being challenged at all, given the recent growing awareness of racial inequities in criminal justice, housing, economic opportunity, education, and other spheres of life. A recent letter to the editor included criticism of controversial components of The 1619 Project, which is one of about 50 resources for this elective course. I encourage Powhatan citizens to read the NY Times series of essays that encompass The 1619 Project to learn of the paradoxes of American history as we have striven to become a more perfect union. I note that much of the criticism of The 1619 Project has stemmed solely from one of the essays by Nikole Hannah-Jones. While critics from all sides have challenged her belief about the role of slavery in the American Revolution, her essay reminded us that “all men are created equal” and “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” did not apply to black people in America prior to our nation’s founding and continuing over 200 years later. That the enslavement of black people was a foundation of the American economic system, north and south, for hundreds of years, followed by Jim Crow, discrimination, segregation, and white supremacy, cannot be denied. Her essay articulated how we are still living the hangover of these past and recent circumstances. Speaking of school curriculum, I began my public education career in the late 1970s, when Virginia’s approved seventh-grade textbook still included
this content: Chapter 29 of the seventhgrade edition, titled “How the Negroes Lived Under Slavery,” included these sentences: “A feeling of strong affection existed between masters and slaves in a majority of Virginia homes.” The masters “knew the best way to control their slaves was to win their confidence and affection.” ... “It cannot be denied that some slaves were treated badly, but most were treated with kindness.” (Minton, Bennett, The lies our textbooks told my generation of Virginians about slavery, Washington Post, July 31, 2020) This is the history that generations of Virginians grew up with in our schools – a false history that refused to acknowledge murder, rape, and physical abuse evident in the forced labor camps called plantations. These texts that reflected values of a post Jim Crow segregated south have thankfully been rewritten. The current effort to tell a fuller history that includes the African-American experience and perspective is not a “cancelled” history, but a more inclusive history intended to be even more factual than some of Virginia’s school textbooks of the past. Again, I encourage Powhatan citizens, before casting negative judgement, to read more of The 1619 Project and other books that expand their knowledge of black history and racial understanding in America. If you are “aghast” at learning of racial prejudice in Powhatan as a recent letter to the editor indicated, I encourage you to read more and to have some frank, respectful discussions with black people in Powhatan and elsewhere who may further inform you. I support efforts to expand the diversity and equity initiatives in Powhatan schools and county governance that will improve student achievement, address prejudices and inequities, and build an inclusive community of greater awareness and trust.

lerly spoke for the better part of 30 minutes, bringing up several topics regarding school funding. He referenced a concern that has been shared by a group of Powhatan parents recently about the school division’s efforts in the area of social emotional learning. In particular, the question has been raised whether critical race theory or similar ideas are being taught in schools. The supervisor talked critically at length about a PowerPoint presentation prepared by two Powhatan High School teachers addressing short and long-term strategies to provide racial justice in secondary schools. He covered a wide variety of topics within that presentation, such as saying results from a student survey that showed much higher numbers of respondents did not perceive racism or bullying to be problems means that they aren’t problems or questioning suggestions the presenters made regarding increasing diversity among staff. He also brought up an elective African American History Course the high school is currently developing, specifically questioning some of the state-approved resources that were provided to help develop the class curriculum. The New York Time’s 1619 Project being one of the allowed resources is a big issue for many. An up-
piece of information stuck out to me the most? When Babcock told us that nationally, only 10% of people survive cardiac arrests that occur out of the hospital, and that number goes down to 7% in rural areas. Facing seemingly insurmountable odds like that, why would we try? Because if your loved one was one of the seven out of 100 cardiac arrest victims, wouldn’t you want someone to do everything they could to help them survive? But just to be clear, while I am advocating that people offer assistance, I also am advocating that people try to get the training to be the most help possible. According to an article on the American Heart Association’s website, “CPR is inherently inefficient; it provides only 10% to 30% of normal blood flow to the heart and 30% to 40% of normal blood flow to the brain even when delivered according to guidelines. This inefficiency highlights the need for trained rescuers to deliver the highest-quality CPR possible.” Then it said something that really hit home: “Poorquality CPR should be considered a preventable harm.” While there may be resources in Powhatan to teach CPR to the general public, I do not yet know about them. However, if you visit https://cpr.heart.org/en/resources, the American Heart Association has plenty of reading materials and ways to find CPR classes within a reasonable driving distance.

date on the development of this class was already scheduled to be an agenda item during the school board’s meeting on Tuesday, May 11. That meeting occurred after press time. Byerly also took issue with partnerships the school division has made with outside organizations, the ideologies behind those groups, and whether they match the values of Powhatan. Byerly said he supports and appreciates teachers, but his issues boil down to making sure the school system is being transparent about where it is spending taxpayer dollars and what it is teaching youth. “I think that we need to have a dialogue and we need to understand what we are paying for. … The people of this county deserve to know that, and the reflections of the values of the people in this county should go through our school system and school board,” he said. “I do want to know what to do with the funding for the school system. I don’t know the answer, but I know it is a whole lot more this year and there (are) less students going to Powhatan County Public Schools.” Byerly’s comments sparked outrage by some in the community in the days following the meeting. The Powhatan AntiRacism Coalition (PARC) started a petition requesting that the supervisor “offer a public apology and acknowledgement that his statements
dismissed the lived experiences of Black Powhatan residents and other residents who have experienced discrimination on any level in Powhatan County.” The group called Byerly’s comments part of a “concerted campaign to share misinformation regarding efforts made by PCPS to be more inclusive” and said he “dismissed the lived experiences of (black, Indigenous and people of color) when he stated that racism isn’t an issue in Powhatan.” As of the morning of Monday, May 10, the petition had 323 signatures. During the May 3 meeting, Byerly followed his statements about the teacher presentation with comments about American Rescue Plan funds that the school division will receive. He raised the issue of conditions that might be put on how some of those funds will be earmarked and also questioned whether the one-time funds the school may receive could be used to offset the county’s transfer to the schools. In a separate interview, Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations, said he will not know more specifics about how the funds can be used until informational webinars are held on May 13 and 14. However, he said the funds cannot be used to supplant normal operational costs; they must be used on COVID-related extra expenses.

cluding Governor Ralph Northam, his wife Pam, and Dr. James Lane, state superintendent, do these visits to schools in a variety of localities every year, but this year it felt even more imperative. “Especially this year we wanted to be much more engaged with the schools and get to as many schools as possible,” he said. “It has been a tough year through the pandemic, but our teachers and staff have worked really hard making sure that we are getting our communities through the pandemic, and we just want to show our appreciation for them.” For Qarni, who was a teacher for 10 years, visiting schools in different localities has been great because he has seen firsthand the innovations teachers are using to engage their students. “Education is not about worksheets or taking standardized tests. That is not the foundation of education,” he said. “Education should be based on creative thinking, being able to communicate and collaborate and work in teams. During his visit, Qarni visited more than half a

dozen classrooms, starting with Jessica Miller’s second grade class. Miller was named as this year’s Pocahontas Elementary Teacher of the Year. Qarni’s discussion with Miller and her students quickly turned to the flexible seating in her classroom, which she said was largely supplemented by her $1,000 grant from the Curtis family. She invited the visitors to try the seating out, which they did. Qarni sat on wobble chair while he read a book to the students about appre-
ciating their teacher. Several times throughout the visit, Powhatan staff emphasized the work that has been done in the division this school year with more than 80% of the student population attending in-person lessons. Principal Tom Sulzer said Qarni’s visit was a great opportunity to showcase his school and the division, which has made in-person learning an option since the beginning of the school year. Currently Pocahontas has about 620 students attending in-person classes all week and
roughly 120 students in the virtual classes. “This year has been a gift to give to the kids and the families. When so many other districts said they couldn’t, Powhatan stepped up and said they could,” Sulzer said. “I think it was awesome to have an opportunity to showcase this to Secretary Qarni.” However, as much as they emphasized the strides Pocahontas Elementary made this year to educate and keep the students safe, Sulzer also made sure to highlight the division’s virtual efforts.
On one stop, he brought Qarni and Kathy Burcher, deputy secretary of education, into a small room to greet Samantha Morton and her fifth grade virtual class while they were on a live lesson. In Stephanie Blackburn’s third grade class, students were making love bug cards for Mother’s Day, while Kristian Schott’s third grade class was learning about counting money. Qarni said he enjoyed seeing the fun activities the classrooms were doing and observing the great projects and artwork that lined the hallways. “Even though we are in the social distancing
world with face coverings, they are still able to use their talents and skills to create a creative space and a safe space for our students to learn,” he said. Sulzer also emphasized that he appreciated that someone with the state government came to visit and personally thank the teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week. “It built them up. It gave them excitement to showcase what they are doing with their kids, so it was great,” Sulzer said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

POWHATAN – For the fifth time that night, Powhatan High School senior Kayla Davis stepped up to bat. It was the bottom of the seventh inning – the last half-inning of regulation – and Powhatan’s opponent, James River, needed one more out to secure an 1110 victory. But Davis also had a teammate on first base: pinch-hitter Emma Phillips, who had taken a two-out walk. Davis hooked the pitch and drove it into left field. The ball touched down in fair territory, and Phillips tore around the bases, coming home to tie the game as Davis dashed to second base on her double. She didn’t have to stay there long. Her teammate, senior Sarah English, made sure of that. see SOFTBALL, pg. 2B

POWHATAN – After all four players lost their junior season to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ben Allanson, Caden Beil, Stone Talley and Connor Woodel have not only gotten to be back out on the varsity baseball field alongside their Powhatan teammates for their senior year, but they were also able to

All four seniors contributed to a lockdown defensive effort that helped Powhatan fend off Clover Hill 3-2 to improve to 2-1 in the early part of the season. “That’s what we’re built around: good defense – good defense and timely hitting,” said Powhatan head coach Gregg Conner. “It’s a team effort, and that’s the way we have to win.” Powhatan was sharp in the field, see BASEBALL, pg. 2B

Gayness was also in on a 5-3-1 double play in the second inning, and he caught a towering pop fly near first base to end the game and strand Clover Hill’s tying and go-ahead runs on the corners in the top of the seventh. “Chase had a good night, a really good night,” said Powhatan head baseball coach Gregg Conner. “He was really barreling a lot of baseballs up and swinging at good pitches.”

and the four seniors all made key plays that either took the Cavaliers’ runners off the base paths or kept them off of home plate. Beil, who was the catcher in Tuesday’s game, caught two runners stealing when he rifled the ball on two long throws in the second and sixth innings to Talley, who ensured that both runners were denied second base and sent back to the dugout. “I couldn’t really do it myself; we have a great middle infield and I was just doing what I was told and how I was trained to do it,” Beil said. “We both did what we were supposed to do and it came together, and it worked out.” “It was a perfect throw on both of them; I just put a tag on them, as simple as that,” Talley said. “You couldn’t ask for a better throw from him.” Woodel, who is committed to Richard Bland College for baseball, sparked a 5-3-1 double play in the second inning when he rushed down a bunted ball, scooped it up and zipped it to junior Chase Gayness to retire the runner headed to first base. “I was just thinking: let the ball come to me, because I was having a great night; I was very confident,” Woodel said. From there, Gayness threw the ball to

ing to be a tough game from the initial draw,” Camp said, noting that James River “has a couple of really tall draw specialists and some strong overall players.” But eventually, she said, they were able to win the draws and shut down the Rapids’ strong players. “Our team is doing an excellent job communicating with each other throughout the game to figure out our weak areas and also capitalize on things they are doing well,” Camp said. “Once we got momentum, our team was hard to stop.” After she established herself as a leading defender on Powhatan’s varsity volleyball team, Kendal McMullin, who had also had a strong offseason for lacrosse going into the spring of 2020 before that season was shut down by COVID, has shined so far at mid-

pitcher Hayden Wasson, who quickly rushed over to third base, tagged the sliding runner while on the move and went into a tumble after making the tag, but raised his glove with the ball still clutched in the folds. Woodel also chased down and caught a foul ball that was hit about a foot or less inside the left field fence to end the fourth inning. “It was a great feeling, because I didn’t think I could get to it at first,” Woodel said, “but then I gave it a try, and I got it.” One inning later, Woodel fielded a pop fly to pull his team out of the fifth after Clover Hill had loaded the bases on straight walks. While trailing Powhatan 3-2 in the top of the seventh with a runner on base, Clover Hill, who had added a run one inning earlier in the sixth, laced a hit into right field, but Allanson was there to stop the ball from traveling any further, thus holding the batter to a single and the tying run that was already on base to third. “I saw it come off and I knew I had a job to do; I knew I had to stop it no matter how I did it,” Allanson said. “I just kind of let my body take over.” Fittingly, it was Gayness who fielded a towering pop fly near first base to end the game and strand Clover Hill’s tying and go-ahead runs on the corners. Gayness’ game-ending play on defense complemented his huge game on offense. The junior multisport athlete batted 3 for
3 with three RBI and a double. Gayness’ double to left-center in the first inning and his third-inning single, which he bounced across the ground, up the middle and on past a Clover Hill fielder’s glove, were both delivered with two outs on the board. Facing one out in the fifth, Gayness plated Josh Boelt for the insurance run on a rocketing single that he launched deep into right-center. “Chase had a good night, a really good night,” Conner said. “He was really barreling a lot of baseballs up and swinging at good pitches.” Boelt led Powhatan with two runs scored and Allanson had one. Woodel had a fifth-inning base hit to center field that he extended into a trip to second base off of Clover Hill’s downhill throw to third. Powhatan pitchers Wasson and Alex Reeves combined to scatter two runs and four hits in Tuesday’s game. Reeves in the seventh had a strikeout and a 1-3 play. For this season, Conner noted: “We have a lot of guys that pitch, and we will throw a lot of guys.” Conner said that his players work hard, and that “they’re really, really good guys.” “We’ve been playing together since we were like 7, 8 years old. We have this bond that’s like – I don’t think I’ve ever had anywhere else,” Allanson said. “It’s really fun to just come out here and just
kind of throw the ball around and have a good time.” “We have a great bond,” Woodel agreed, “and the more and more we play, the better the chemistry gets, the better we play.” On Thursday, Powhatan battled James River all the way into the eighth inning, and after the Rapids scored three runs, Powhatan loaded the bases against two outs. But James River held on to win 5-2.
field this year. She handled a majority of the draws and scored 7 goals in Monday’s game versus Monacan. “Kendal’s a natural leader, and she just is a great role model for her teammates because she puts in 200-percent effort at all times,” Camp said. “She’s fast, she’s athletic, she’s positive and… that’s who you want as a leader on the field, is someone who exemplifies the characteristics that you want everyone else to follow, and that’s Kendal.” Christopher Newport University commit Jordan Krauss not only racked up 6 goals last Monday, but she tallied up a team-leading five assists. She also excelled in exerting pressure on Monacan’s goalie, forcing several turnovers when she guarded the goalie’s attempted clear-outs or passes to her teammates. “I’m just proud of Jordan. She is such a calm and collected and smart player,” Camp said. “She is a tremendous leader on the field because she
helps set the pace of the game down on offense and really is like our quarterback down there.” Sophomore Lexi Campbell scored 4 goals, and Sophie Payne had 2. Adding 1 each were Sam Flippo, Kate Adams and freshman McKayla Brasswell. Freshman Grace Hayden succeeded multiple times at transitioning the ball from defense to offense and connected well with Brasswell on passes across midfield. In Powhatan’s rout of James River, Campbell led the way with 5 goals and added an assist, Krauss had 4 goals and led the team with four assists, McMullin chipped in 3 goals and two assists, Adams contributed 2 goals and two assists, Hayden scored 3 goals, Payne made 2 goals and Flippo and Taylor Fitzsimmons each scored a goal. Goalie Casey Grell made seven saves. “They all trust each other, which makes them all threats,” Camp said of her players. “I couldn’t be happier with
the way they are playing, truly working as a team, sharing the ball. Our stats are reflective of this with a variety of players scoring each game, and a large number of those goals have assists.” Wednesday’s Senior Night game honored Powhatan girls lacrosse’s lone senior Chloe DeGroat. “Chloe started out having never played lacrosse but so eager to learn. She attended every offseason workout and practice from the very beginning in order to learn and increase her skill level,” Camp said. “She always brings a smile and positive attitude to every practice and game and is such a great role model both on and off of the field. “Over the years, she has played a key role in our defensive unit, whether it’s working together with her teammates on varsity or helping younger players learn the ropes,” Camp said. “Chloe is headed to Virginia Tech next fall and she will be greatly missed.”

Monacan’s inexperienced defense, move the ball around and find the open man,” said Powhatan head boys lacrosse coach Joe Niles. “Defensively, Powhatan was easily able to shut down any threats from Monacan.” In Wednesday’s loss to the Rapids, Somerville again led the way with 6 goals and added two assists, and Brandon Palmore chipped in 3 goals. Davis and Nate Gray each contributed an assist. Jeffs made 25 saves on 48 shots by the Rapids and, according to Niles, set the tone of the game after his bone-jarring hit on an open James River shooter in front of the goal. Davis won 16 of 25 face-off attempts. “This was another physical game and our Powhatan boys didn’t back down or give an inch,” Niles said. “While the score didn’t go our way and in a game where we competed hard, it was a game that we should have won. We kind of beat ourselves with having 21 turnovers. “Once again I’m proud of how hard the boys are playing,” Niles added. “We are a much smaller team both in size and numbers than most of the teams in the league, but we keep fighting. I’m very proud of them.”
“As soon as I saw Kayla on…and then when I was put in that situation, I just knew I was meant for that situation, like I was put there for a reason, to get the hit,” English said. She found her pitch and lasered it over the right fielder’s head. “I don’t even know how I felt, because I was so in the moment – the adrenaline and everything,” English said, “but as soon as it went over her head, I was just so happy.” Davis ran home and Powhatan’s varsity softball team erupted in celebration as it walked-off with a 12-11 come-frombehind triumph over James River, thanks to English’s extra-base hit. The Indians, fueled by their fiery bats, overcame deficits of 8-3 after the third inning and 11-6 after the top of the sixth. “It shows that we’re never out of a game,” said Davis, who batted 3 for 5 with three RBI, two doubles and three runs scored. “We can come back from anything.” “We’re always in it, no matter what,” said English, who also batted 3 for 5, scored twice and made it all the way to third base on her game-winning hit. “No matter the score, we’re always going to be in it.” “It was a good team win; no one player did it,” Davis added. “We all had to come together to do it.”

those, man, and it was a nice cap to the week,” said Powhatan head coach Jared Rottmund. Five different players scored for Powhatan across the week. Freshman Bella Russell, sophomore Morgan Oliver and junior Regan Baltz each scored against Clover Hill, and sophomore Rachael Webb and junior Lena Parker netted the tying and goahead goals against James River after Powhatan initially trailed 1-0. “Everybody on that team is lethal when it comes to goal scoring,” Rottmund said of his Indians. “It’s definitely a team that I’ve never had before; the makeup of the team is something that I’ve never had the privilege of working with, so it’s exciting to have that

Powhatan senior Connor Woodel initiates a 5-3 play from third base.
“We needed the whole team to win that game,” English said. Powhatan showcased its depth when two players who entered the hitting rotation late helped spark the team’s 4-run rally in the bottom of the sixth. With the Indians down 11-6, Joy Johnson rocketed a solo home run over the left-center fence, and after senior Jillian Ratliff advanced to first base with the help of a Rapids’ error, Phillips clocked an RBI double into the outfield to bring her teammate home. Base hits from English and Savannah Johnson (3 for 4, 2 RBI) loaded the bases, and senior Autumn McMillen walked in a teammate to tighten the Rapids’ lead to 11-10 and set up Powhatan’s gamewinning efforts in the seventh. Even the two outs that Powhatan took in the last half-inning were hard hits by both senior Ellie Barton and Ratliff; both hits were both caught on heads-up plays by the Rapids’ outfielders. Earlier in the game, the Indians went up 3-1, but the Rapids tied the game in the second, and then – aided by their two-out, two-run double and errors from the home team – rocketed out to an 8-3 advantage. But Powhatan’s bats caught fire again in the bottom of the fifth, as Savannah Johnson’s two-out, 3-2 line-drive single into center field led to both English and Barton – who had reached base earlier on her own line-drive single to center – coming home to score. McMillen then hammered a triple deep into right field to bring home Savannah, tightening the
Rapids’ lead at the time to 8-6. “We didn’t give up,” said Powhatan head softball coach Marie Crump. “We did not play stellar on defense; we made quite a few mistakes both mentally and physically, but we didn’t give up, and that’s the key, and I think, with this particular team, that’s a good lesson for them. It’s good to see it to know that they can do it, because sometimes you never know if you can until it actually happens for you, and that was great. It was great to see for these young ladies who work so hard.” Crump added of James River: “They were a good team; they hit the heck out of the ball; we helped them a lot, but… the season’s young. Hopefully we’re going to learn from that.” The thrilling end put the exclamation mark on Powhatan softball’s Senior Night, which celebrated the contributions of the team’s seven seniors: Barton, Davis, English, McMillen, Ratliff, Courtney Osterman and Emmalee Lawson. In the second inning, Osterman made a catch for an out in left field and Ratliff ran down a ball for a flyout. Lawson had strong contact with the ball, but saw a lasering lineout get snatched up on a quick play by the Rapids between first and second bases in the fourth inning, and another hard-hit ball get halted by the second baseman on the ground in the fifth. The Indians, who earlier in the week fended off Clover Hill 5-3, were 3-1 going into this week’s road games at Monacan on Tuesday and James River on Thursday.
kind of diversity. I’ve got girls that can play anywhere on the field and just have the passion to play anywhere on the field. They don’t care where they’re at as long as they’re on the field making a difference.” Sophomore keeper Ella Chitty racked up 21 saves against the Cavaliers and 17 against the Rapids. Powhatan’s depth of talent also shone on Thursday when the team was able to switch up its formation from a diamond to a flat back on defense and substitute in both Baltz and freshman Sally Woodard at the fullback defender positions. “I’ve got such a deep bench that...it’s just nice to be able to make an adjustment like that and not even skip a beat,” Rottmund said. “Every time we subbed off the bench, it just seemed like the pace just increased. We were able to get everybody playing time, because that’s important.”
Rottmund said the players did a nice job of possessing the ball, and that they’re really starting to come together. “They’re just clicking,” Rottmund said. “It just shows by the way we can look at how much time we hold onto the ball throughout the game and how we possess it and the passing game and the formation.” With its two wins this past week, Powhatan (3-1) improved its winning streak to three games going into 7 p.m. home games versus Monacan on Tuesday and James River on Thursday. “It’s a great place to be, and next week, you start all over again,” Rottmund said. “Now the target’s on your back; that’s definitely kind of where I feel we’re at. We were the unexpected team to show up, which, I enjoy being in that spot: to kind of show up and play a good, hard game and get good results.”

COIN SHORTAGE ZIP CODE DISTRIBUTION NOTICE
■ VIRGINIA AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: Pictured above and watched closely by guards are protected U.S. Coin Packages containing the valuable unsearched Vault Bags that everyone will be trying to get. It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins could be worth someday. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the early 1800’s, so you better believe at just $980 these Unsearched Vault Bags are a real steal.
Decision puts valuable United States coins back in circulation – zip codes determine who gets them Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List below and beat the 48 hour order deadline
Who gets the U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Only U.S. residents who find their zip code listed on the Distribution List below are getting the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. If you find your zip code listed below call: 1-800-868-9527 UV3932 “The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America. That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to put rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, back in circulation means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who if you find the first three digits of your listed in today’s publication. “These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These are rarely seen silver, scarce, collectible and non-circulating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins the dates were never searched and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Withrow. “But don’t thank the Government. As Executive Advisor to Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to put rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins back in circulation, I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal, “said Withrow. The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends. This is very important. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those
U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the deadline ends. “Remember this, we cannot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Withrow. The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded with over 100 highly sought after
collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including iconic Morgan Silver Dollars, a historic Peace Silver Dollar, stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars, the collectible Silver Eisenhower Dollars, spectacular Silver Liberty Head Half and Quarter Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, one cent Historic Wheat Coins including 1943 “Steel Cents”, one of the beautiful Winged Liberty Head Dimes, scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coins and the last ever minted Buffalo
Nickels. “With all these collectible U.S Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re doing all we can to answer all the calls,” said Withrow. Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who if you find the first three digits of your listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. ■
