POWHATAN – A tense two nights of public meetings brought the issues of education and racism to the forefront last week in Powhatan County. Local elected officials saw how passionate residents were on these issues when they came out in large numbers to speak at the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors meeting on Monday, May 10 and the Powhatan County School Board meeting on Tuesday, May 11. Both meetings – which PHOTO BY LAURA McFARLAND were held at the Village Local residents line up at the May 10 Powhatan County Board of Building and Pocahontas Supervisors meeting to give their input on a variety of topics, includLandmark Center, respec- ing the county’s budget, school curriculum, issues related to racism, and see CITIZENS, pg. 4
more.
POWHATAN – Powhatan County’s top elected officials made several decisions regarding the current and upcoming fiscal year operating budgets over two days of meetings held last week. The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors adopted its $100.2 million dollar budget with two new changes during its meeting on Monday, May 10. The budget was passed in a 4-1 vote with only Mike Byerly, who represents District 3, voting against it. The board followed that decision with two back-to-back unani-
mous votes with little discussion. They voted to fix the calendar year 2022 real estate rate at 79 cents, which will apply to the tax bills due on June 5 and Nov. 5, 2022. They also voted 5-0 to approve a formal policy for the Powhatan County Revenue Stabilization Reserve, which was established last year. It establishes how much they want to keep in the fund and the purposes for which money can be withdrawn. During its meeting on Tuesday, May 11, the Powhatan County School Board also had to make a few key financial decisions that see BUDGET, pg. 6

Powhatan High School teacher Nancy Taylor was honored as the school division’s Teacher of the Year.
POWHATAN – When Powhatan High School teacher Nancy Taylor was recently called to an impromptu staff meeting, she had no idea that she was the main attraction at the gathering. Surrounded by her colleagues on May 4, and again at the school board meeting held on Tuesday, May 11, Taylor was honored as the division’s Teacher of the Year. “It was overwhelming. I was at a loss for words. (Dr. Eric Jones) asked me to say something and what I said was that I was honored to be recognized and nominated by my colleagues. That was the biggest reward of all,” she said of her initial reaction to the news. Taylor is a math teacher who has spent her entire 22-year teaching career at the high school. She currently teaches dual enrollment calculus and pre-cal__culus classes as well as AP calculus. She is a math content specialist, which involves supporting her fellow educators in developing lessons and ensuring continuity for students. She is also the teacher leader for the Advanced College Academy (ACA) program. Principal Mike Massa said that Taylor guides her instruction by the needs of her students. She challenges them to work cooperatively with classmates to solve problems. “Nancy takes the sometimes challenging concepts of advanced math and creates activities to break the content into smaller pieces to help the students overall understanding,” he said. In her role with ACA, Taylor makes sure everyone stays informed, plans meetings thoughtfully, and runs them efficiently, Massa said. She has provided invaluable instructional support and leadership to the math desee TEACHER, pg. 5

Gas panic impacts local stations By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – A panic run on gasoline sparked by the six-day shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline because of a ransomeware attack saw Powhatan County gas stations slammed last week and lines out to the streets to reach the pumps. Several gas stations reported empty tanks starting on Tuesday, May 11 and long lines when they did get deliveries. Many gas stations tried to telegraph the empty reserves with yellow caution tape, out of order signs, and bags over gas pump handles.
But that didn’t keep the phones from ringing. Al Patel, owner of Dorset Market, said he received phone calls constantly with people asking if he had fuel or when he would be receiving his next shipment. When he still had gas, he said the lines were out of his parking lot onto both Dorset and Genito roads at one point. Patel said he ran out of regular gasoline the first time on Tuesday and then out of premium the next morning. “It was all the way across the railroad track on Genito and on the Dorset side it was by the church,” he said. Sadiq Sajwani, owner
of Valero on Anderson Highway, described basically the same situation. He had heard the Friday see GAS, pg. 6

O B I T UA R I E S FRANK COOKE “Steve” Frank Cooke, 72, passed away peacefully at his home in Fredericksburg on Saturday, May 1, 2021, after a valiant struggle with neurological issues. At his side was his wife of 52 years, who stayed with him until the very end. Steve was born on October 6, COOKE 1948, to Claude and Mary Cooke of Covington. After graduating from Lane High School in 1967, he went on to play football and study Education at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. After graduation, he landed his first job as a coach and Special Education teacher in Virginia, kicking off a career that spanned 25 years throughout multiple counties, serving thousands of students in his lifetime. Steve met Billie while in elementary school, they wed in 1968, and went on to have two sons, both of whom he was quite proud, as one continues his work in education while the other protects the country he so loved. After retiring, Steve spent time doing those things he enjoyed most: watching University of Tennessee football, working in his yard, playing billiards, golfing, hunting, fishing, boating and spending time with friends and family. Among his greatest achievements were earning the “Master Blaster” title among the hunters of Craig’s Creek and being the ultimate Paw-Paw in the eyes of his grandchildren. Steve is survived by his wife, Billie Plott Cooke of Fredericksburg; two sons and their spouses, Dennis and Barbara Cooke, of Midlothian and Travis and Gina Cooke, of Bristow; grandchildren, Sienna Francesca and Adam Steven, also of Bristow; and a brother, Bill Cooke of Florida. All will miss him dearly. He was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Mary
Cooke, formerly of Covington; and a brother, Nick Cooke of Chesterfield. A private Celebration of a Life well-lived will be held at a later time.

It’s a scary time out there—for us as well as our gardens. Need help making sense of it all? Got a problem with plant identification? Can someone tell you what those mysterious spots are on your tomato plants? Could someone tell you if Alternaria, Septoria and Fusarium are tomato diseases? Alternaria, Septoria and Fusarium are indeed just a few of the diseases that can ruin our vegetable garden. In this age of social distancing, our plants still have troubles. If they could shout they’d cry out, “I need help!” Luckily for them, and you, the Powhatan County Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Help Desk is here for yet another growing season. Although office hours are reduced because of COVID-19 restrictions, the help desk is still ready and available. Here’s a problem someone (that would be me) had years ago. Wood ashes are a wonderful soil amendment. Yet at the time I didn’t realize wood ashes could drive up the alkalinity of soil. By starting a blueberry patch in wood ash-laden soil, I discovered my plants were exhibiting yellow leaves rather than healthy green. That’s called iron chlorosis. Blueberries planted in neutral soils (soil pH 6.5 to 7) or in alkaline soils will not thrive. The shrubs need soil with a pH of about 4.5. A Cooperative Extension Help Desk volunteer identified my problem and provided instructions for what to do. Jump ahead to 2021. Help can still be
found by emailing questions as well as full and detailed photos of your stricken plants. The help desk will try and find a solution for you. That email address is gpmastergardener@gmail.com. You can also directly call the Powhatan County Extension at 804-598-5640 and leave a message. The help desk will be in touch. If a real-life diagnosis or determination is needed, large plant samples including root, stem and leaves can be dropped off at the Powhatan County Extension’s office after consulting with a Master Gardener volunteer. Depending on your issue, a Master Gardener volunteer will walk you through items you may need to include in your sample. After consult, samples can be dropped off at the Powhatan Extension office Mondays through Wednesdays, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Masks are required in the building. The office is located at 3910 Old Buckingham Road, Powhatan, VA 23139 (next door to May Memorial Baptist Church). The help desk can also recommend a soil test. Kits are available for pick up and easily available from Virginia Cooperative Extension offices. For a modest fee, the soil test not only provides information on the soil, pH, and available levels of phosphorous, but on potassium and other essential elements or nutrients. The Virginia Tech lab’s soil test report also offers suggestions on how to adjust or modify problems with the soil for the particular plantings intended for your garden. Results can be received either by standard mail or email.

tively – were packed with people, many of whom made their voices heard. In all, 37 people spoke during the board of supervisors meeting (all but one on this topic) and 21 in front of the school board, with some overlap of speakers. The core issue started with the question of what people feel should or should not be taught to students in Powhatan schools. But over the course of two nights and because of the expansion beyond the initial purview of the school board, the scope of topics expanded to issues of budget controls, the validity of Critical Race Theory, racism, and, in some ways, Powhatan’s very identity. While some of the topics discussed were already highly likely to be brought up at the school board meeting, comments made a week earlier by supervi-
sor Mike Byerly, who represents District 3, heightened the tensions and brought them boiling over a night earlier. During the discussion about the budget on May 3, Byerly spent 30 minutes talking about school funding and implying he would base his decision about the budget on what the school may be teaching or ideologies it may be promoting. While the broader topics were always present, many of the people who spoke to the supervisors on May 10 addressed Byerly in particular, either offering support and appreciation for his comments or expressing hurt from them and asking for an apology. His questioning of school curriculum and what taxpayer dollars were being spent on, as well as the way he approached the subjects, brought strong reactions in many ways. In the days following the May 3 meeting, two
Hello Ladies, and Gentlemen. My name is Sir Hamilton, but my friends call me Hammy. I am around 6 years old, and a very playful boy, I get along well with other dogs, and let me tell you, Toys WOW I never knew I could have so much fun with something that squeak’s Sir Hamilton HaHa. But seriously I am a very good boy, who unfortunately the owners never came for me, which makes me sad, because I was well taken care of, and I thought I did everything right to make sure they loved me. I am pretty neat in my kennel, I love office time, I love toys, treats, Just about anything makes me happy, But what I really want most is to be in a home, with a loving family. If you would like to make me a part of your family, Please call 804-598-5672 and the staff will be happy to assist in scheduling you an appointment to meet me. Hope to see you soon.

different petitions were started as a result on Change.org on the topic. The first, which was created on May 7, is a petition in support of Byerly, praising him for having the “courage to speak up and ask the ‘hard questions.’ The second petition, which was created on May 8, called Byerly’s comments dismissive of the lived experience of people of color and asked for an apology. After the last of the speakers had shared their thoughts with the school board, the actual topic that many people said drew them to the meetings – hearing the school division address Critical Race Theory (CRT) in the schools and the use of controversial resources – was treated almost as an afterthought. The school board took a brief break between the public comment period and moving on with the rest of the agenda, and the update on the development of a new elective African American History class – the catalyst that started this discussion – was held within minutes of calling the meeting back to order. But by that time more than half of those who came to the meeting had already left. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, assured the audience that remained that the course is being built for Powhatan and will reflect the community, including the inclusion of local history. He stressed multiple times that the controversial New York Times’ 1619 Project that was spoken about by so many will not be used as a resource for developing the class. “We stated that back in February and we have stated it emphatically ever since then – that the 1619 Project will not be part of the curriculum of this course. There are lots of other, very valid curriculum resources that can teach a robust African American History course
that will allow students to critically examine African American contributions to our country and their role within that country. That is what our goal is and that is the goal of the course,” Jones said. Jones also stated unequivocally that they “have no plans to, have never had any plans to, and will not use Critical Race Theory in this course.”
Recent history While discussions about racism and education are by no means a new topic, the current iteration of the local discussion began to bubble over in December 2020. The school board was asked to consider the course planning guide for the next school year, and on that list was the elective African American History class. Although the final class curriculum would be built by Powhatan County Public Schools, the Virginia Department of Education, which offered the framework for the course, also included with it a list of possible resources school divisions could use to create their courses. Among those was the 1619 Project. Even before the board had its first discussion on the issue on Dec. 8, 2020, members said they had been receiving concerned emails and calls. At the school board’s Dec. 10 joint meeting with the board of supervisors, 10 people spoke about the ideology behind the terms equity, diversity, and inclusion, which have been a big focus for PCPS in recent years. While none of the speakers stated they were against approving the history class, a few did specifically oppose using the 1619 Project as a resource. At the Jan. 12, 2021, meeting where the school board actually approved the course guide, several people spoke in support of
the history class, and some even defended the 1619 Project as providing a perspective that challenges people to think critically about history. The school board did ultimately approve the course guide with the new elective on Jan. 12, but it was with the understanding that staff would be coming back with updates from the committee of educators working on it. The first update on the African American History class was scheduled for the school board’s May 11 meeting. In addition to his assurance that neither CRT nor the 1619 Project would be part of the course, Jones said people interested in the development of the course can follow its progress in posts on the school division’s website, http://www.powhatan.k12.va.us. He also pointed out that 31 students at Powhatan High School have signed up for the elective course and another 43 have it listed as an alternate in case they are unable to get into one of their other electives. He said he is happy to see so much interest in the course.
The public speaks On May 10 and 11, a combined total of 46 people spoke at the two meetings (11 people spoke at both) regarding these topics. Both meetings saw some high emotions, including small arguments among speakers at the board of supervisors meeting and the school board addressing outbursts and trying unsuccessfully to make everyone in the audience adhere to the mask mandate. While there wasn’t a strict dividing line that every speaker fell on one side of, many of the comments tended to lean to one side or the other. On one side were people who agreed with Byerly’s comments; spoke of the need to keep CRT out

of Powhatan schools; said they did not want to encourage issues that cause obvious divisiveness in the community, and said that since it is the board of supervisors’ job to oversee the budget, Byerly had a right to ask the school board for transparency. On the other side were people who said they were deeply hurt by Byerly’s comments as dismissive to the realities of racism they face – both in the schools and the communities; argued for the need to have the African American History class to offer people the opportunity to learn more about the contributions of people of color; argued for the inclusion of more perspectives when looking at history; outlined examples of racism observed by students in Powhatan schools, and requested the board of supervisors fully support the schools. Sarah Taylor, who said she started the petition in support Byerly, spoke at both meetings. While she believes racism still exists and children need to learn about other cultures, she said that CRT and the 1619 Project are not the ways to teach it. She and many other speakers said these theories focus on oppression and division and deny the principals and freedom on which the nation was founded. Rebecca Courtright, who started the petition asking for Byerly’s apology, told the board of supervisors that his approach to the issue didn’t involve good budget questions. She said she thought he was a supervisor elected to represent all of his constituents, “not a Fox News commentator.” She also said his comments hurt people in the community because the words dismissed their experiences. Joe Ordia, who spoke at both meetings, shared the story of his father emigrating from Nigeria to the

Powhatan County Public Schools recently honored its Teachers of the Year. A Powhatan Middle School nominated all the school’s teachers, shown left. Individual school honorees were Traci Paden, from left, (Flat Rock Elementary), Jessica Miller (Pocahontas Elementary), Cara Alexander (Powhatan Elementary), and Nancy Taylor (Powhatan High School and Division Teacher of the Year).

partment in her role as part-time math coach. But she is also concerned about the welfare and success of all of her students and for the greater school community. “Nancy is always willing to go the extra mile for her students. She believes in them and is their biggest cheerleader, but not without making them see their full potential and try their hardest,” Massa said. “Nancy always puts in 100% and has high expectations for her students, and they see how hard she works so they are willing to rise to the occasion.” Teaching was not Taylor’s first choice. She originally started out as a hairdresser and decided to go back to school and switch careers because she felt there was something else she needed to do. She said she missed going to school and learning, so she attended Virginia Commonwealth University and earned first her bachelor’s degree in mathematics and then a master’s of teaching. She earned her master’s in 1997 and started with the high school that fall. Except for a two year break she took a few years ago, the rest of her career has been spent at PHS.
The other Teachers of the Year honored by the division were: Traci Paden, a fifth grade teacher at

We have comforted students who were uncertain about how to navigate this crazy school year when at times we were the ones needing comfort and encouragement in uncertain times....We have accomplished so much in daunting circumstances. School year 2020-2021 will forever be remembered as the year that we not only survived, but we maintained and we dominated. There is no one teacher that deserves recognition - School year 2020-2021 is the year that we were ALL TEACHERS OF THE YEAR!” Dr. Samantha Martin, principal, added that, as a school, the full staff has come together in amazing ways to support each other, the students, and their families to have the best possible pandemic school year. They are stronger and tighter because of it and are more able to move into post-pandemic education. The school’s tagline is “One Strong Tribe” and, this year, with challenges came the opportunity for them to truly become “One Strong Tribe.” The staff members have given their all to educate students in the middle of a pandemic with flexibility, patience, grit, grace, resilience, and creative problem-solving. Martin said she is “beyond proud to work with this staff each and every day.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Powhatan County Fair sees record crowds

The Powhatan County Fair d drew thousands h d off people from May 14 to 16 to the Powhatan County Fairgrounds. Organizers said more than 19,000 visitors came through the gates on May 15 alone and that the fair has never seen crowds like this. Visitorss enjoyed rides, games, food, music, shopping, a s. haunted house, and meeting with family and friends.
BUDGET Continued from pg. 1
passed unanimously. The school board approved the teacher salary scale for the fiscal year (FY) 2022, which included additional increases to some of the teachers to address compression issues. The members approved a flat rate bonus option for full-time and part-time employees for the current fiscal year. While the school board didn’t vote on it, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, informed the members that staff has the task ahead of adjusting its budget because of two reductions in the county transfer.
County budget During the board of supervisors’ last meeting on May 3, two suggestions were offered that led to changes being made before the FY 2022 operating budget was adopted last week. During the public hearing on May 3, several speakers asked the board to consider increasing the number of
positions for the Powhatan County Public Library, which they said was understaffed. On May 10, county administrator Ned Smither recommended the board meet part of the library’s request. He suggested hiring a part-time certified youth service librarian and increasing the hours available for paraprofessionals for the library substitute pool. The combination of the positions added $34,084 to the budget. Bill Cox, District 4, recommended a reduction in the county transfer to the school division in the amount of $127,000. The figure was given by the school board earlier this year as the number it would take to address some of the key salary compression issues among teachers. Cox argued that the school division had sufficient funds in its current budget to cover those compressions adjustment costs and did not receive any pushback before the budget was adopted with those two changes. The library addition and school reduction

before there would be shortages, so he was expecting lines, and he got them. His gas station ran out of fuel for the first time on that Tuesday and he put “Out of Order” signs on the pumps until he got another fuel delivery a few days later. Like the other gas stations, Sajwani said that while the parking lot was packed, the store was not. “It was not as good inside as it should be. Everybody was concerned with outside and focusing on the gas,” he said. Sajwani also said he regularly got calls during the day or people stopping by to see if he had gas or would be getting it soon. He said midweek that he was a little worried, but hoped that the promise of the pipeline restarting operations soon meant they could get back to normal. Chubbys gas station on Anderson Highway was mostly empty inside and out midmorn-
combined for a net decrease in use of the county’s fund balance of $92,916 over what was originally advertised. During a budget update to the school board the next night, Jones said he was surprised by the board’s action the previous evening but grateful for the support they did receive. He said staff will now look at the budget to see where it can make the reduction for the new $127,000 reduction as well as the $102,800 less the division will receive in the county transfer after the county decided to split the difference on the impact of an increase in state funds. After all of the public comments on May 10 (see story on 1A), Byerly did spend more time talking about the school division’s budget. He recommended the county explore taking over the transportation department, talked about some of the figures he received from Jones regarding how the division spends its curriculum dollars, and tried to veer back into the issues of what the schools might be teaching before chairwoman Karin Car-
ing on May 12. Manager Prerak Patel said the station had run out of gas the previous day, but even when they had gas, people weren’t coming inside as much because they were aware of the people waiting in line. Chubbys had a truck delivering premium and diesel fuel while he spoke and Patel predicted – correctly – that his outside business would soon be hopping again. Within minutes of the first car lining up a little after 10:50 a.m., every pump had a vehicle waiting to fill up and some a few in line behind them. They waited patiently as the delivery truck finished unloading the 4,000 gallons of diesel and 4,000 gallons of premium and then a few minutes more while Patel turned on the pumps. Mary Kernstine of Powhatan was one of the first in line. She was running on empty and had to fill up one of several vehicles used for her business, Budget Blinds. She didn’t even balk at
mack, District 5, asked him to stick to the budget. Byerly finished by talking about the American Rescue Plan and not wanting the school division to accept the money it may be offered (roughly $2 million) if it comes with strings attached. The only other comments on the budget came from David Williams, District 1, who talked about the unanimity the board had reached in previous meetings regarding setting the tax rate at 79 cents and how the county departments and school division would be funded. The only adjustments brought up at the May 3 meeting were for the library positions and school reduction, and he balked at any other changes being suggested last minute. Williams pointed out that Powhatan citizens many years ago made the decision to have an elected school board so they could hold them directly accountable. Any questions regarding the school division’s spending should have come up during the last joint meeting so there could be an actual discussion instead of one-way
having to put premium in the tank. “Right now I need gas. Sure it bothers me to pay more, but when it comes down to it, we still have to keep our people employed and our people on the road working,” she said. Kernstine said she had just come back from a stay in the Outer Banks and realized there was a shortage when she had to search for gas for 45 minutes to fuel up for the trip home. “We were watching the news Monday and saw about the pipeline, but we didn’t realize there was a problem until we started driving and saw the lines at the gas pumps,” she said. On May 7, the Colonial Pipeline Company learned it was the victim of a cybersecurity attack. Staff determined the incident involved ransomware and proactively took certain systems offline to contain the threat, which temporarily halted all pipeline operations, and affected some of its IT systems.
conversations, he said.
School board decisions The school board had previously discussed the proposed teacher salary scale for FY 2022, which included both a 5% raise for all employee plus targeted raises. However, at a previous meeting, the members asked the staff to review the scales again because teachers in steps 22 to 27 (based on years of experience) to further address compression concerns. Jones said the additional cost to increase these salary steps was offset by the division’s decision to end its memberships with two organizations staff no longer felt were relevant. Chairwoman Kim Hymel, District 5, thanked Jones and staff members for continuing to work on the scale at the board’s request. She said she wants the board to really take a hard look at the issue of compression and how to fully address it as soon as possible. Rick Cole, District 1, agreed but said he still wanted to celebrate that
the school board had approved “historically the biggest raise we have given.” The school board was also asked to made a decision regarding providing a bonus to employees that worked above and beyond their normal work requirements as a result of COVID-19. Jones presented the members with two options – one based on a 2% bonus with a minimum and maximum and the other using flat rates for full-time and parttime employees. Jones said staff recommended the 2% option, which would have cost $579,720 with FICA. However, the school board ultimately chose the second option, which at a cost of $578,780 would give eligible full-time employees an $850 bonus and part-time employees a $400 bonus. The board members argued that all of the staff members showed up to do the extra work and should share equally (depending on their work hours) in this one-time bonus.

Giving children a piece of what is missing By Laura McFarland Editor
A
lion. A tiger. No bear? Oh my. It’s OK, I like the penguin better anyway. So, I went to the zoo last week in the middle of my work day, and I was accompanied by some intrepid little zookeepers. More specifically, Powhatan Elementary School held its very own zoo on May 12 for kindergarten and Head Start students, and I was invited to stop by and join in the fun – and it was definitely fun. One of the kindergarten teachers had spotted me at the school a week earlier when I was there to do a video and a short story about the administrators kissing Tucker the Pig as part of the school’s Boosterthon. All she said was they were going to have a Zoo to You experience and asked me to stop by. So I did. Sitting down with kindergarten teachers Joy Daniel, Amy Hintz, and Robyn Hall on their lunch break that day, I got to hear how the zoo came about. Taking a field trip to the zoo is an annual tradition for the kindergartners, but that didn’t happen this year because of COVID-19 restrictions. So Lori Preston, who is the kindergarten instructional assistant, suggested they hold a zoo of their own. She wrote a proposal and submitted it to the principal, Constance Deal, to get a small amount of funds to purchase inflatable animals of all kinds to have at their zoo. The teachers created informational signs that could be placed next to each animal so they could learn a little something as they were visiting the stations. Did you
know that an alligator can go two years without eating? A giraffe can run 30 miles per hour. Penguins eat krill. Lions can jump up to 40 feet. The bright pink color of flamingos comes from beta carotene, a red-orange pigment found in large numbers in the shrimp the birds like to eat. Cutest of all, Cindy Pruitt and Christyn Ryman, who both work in the school office, used items from the STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) Lab to help the kindergartners become zookeepers. The two women made little vests from paper grocery bags and binoculars out of toilet paper rolls glued together and tied with a string. The PTO also ordered plastic safari hats for each kindergartner. The zoo was held in a fenced-in playground that the educators are trying to revamp into an outdoor classroom space. They received a grant from the Powhatan Education Foundation to do some of the work and were going to have some outside partnerships with community groups, but both of those have been slowed by COVID-19 as well. Still, it is a work in progress and they are excited about the possibilities it will hold for their students. (One of the teachers did mention in an aside that donations are welcome.) I got to visit the zoo with Hintz’s class. As I waited for her class to get ready to go outside, a little boy in the classroom informed me: “If you run faster than a cheetah, it will electrocute your body.” Good thing I’m not that fast. I have never been with any of the local classes when they went to the real zoo to see the students’ excitement, but the squeals of delight when those kindergart-
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Future generations to inherit debt in the trillions Dear Editor, Just how big is a trillion dollars? Answer: A trillion dollars composed of $1,000 bills stretched end-to-end would go around the Earth's equator 3.8 times. That's how big a trillion dollars is! A trillion is a BIG NUMBER! If our children and/or grandchildren knew they were the ones responsible for paying back our nation's trillions in debt, they wouldn't be too happy with those voting for it. The sad part is, it will either be paid back with their money or their freedom! Proof: Earth's Circumfrence at the Equator = 24,901 miles (https://www.space. com/17638-how-big-is-earth.html). A thousand dollar bill is 6 inches long. That's $1,000. How many $1,000 bills (6 inches each) stretched end-to-end will it take to go 24,901 miles? Each statute mile is 5,280 feet, so one mile of $1,000 bills end-to-end would equal 5,280 x 2 = 10,560 bills. So, 10,560 x 24,901 = number of $1,000
bills lined end-to-end to go around the Earth's Equator one time. Let's do the math, use scientific notation.... Number of $1000 bills would equal: (10.560 x 10**3) x (24.901 x 10**3) = 262.954 x 10**6 = 262,954,000. That is two hundred sixty-two million nine hundred fifty-four thousand $1,000 bills to go around Earth's Equator one time. So that is 262,954,000 x $1000 = $262,954,000,000 for one trip around. (262.954 x 10**9). A trillion dollars = $1,000,000,000,000 = 1 x 10**12 or 1000 x 10**9. So, how many trips around the Earth’ss Equator does it take to make a trillion dollars? Doing the math using scientific notation, the number of trips is $(1000 x 10**9) / $(262.954 x 10**9) = 1000 / 262.954 = 3.803. So, a trillion dollars worth of $1,000 bills stretched end-to-end would go around the Earth's equator 3.8 times. David Bradley Powhatan County
A person’s outlook is about perspective, not color Dear Editor, I attended the board of supervisors meeting on May 10 with the understanding I would hear words spoken by Powhatan residents and maybe a few outsiders on the subject of racism, Critical Race Theory and possibly about Mike Byerly’s comments at a prior board meeting. I wasn’t disappointed. What I wasn’t expecting was comments from two black gentlemen who viewed their life experiences in totally different ways. One gentleman looked at a few residents who openly display their racial comments – specifically a bumper sticker and a Confederate flag. Also mentioned was the KKK being alive and well in the county and about an incident of a child in school who spoke disparagingly about black people. What he perhaps is overlooking is some people are prejudiced and will always be so. Living your life based on historic racial
problems and some contemporary bigots doesn’t contribute to a positive outlook on life. The second gentleman spoke of his family and how his father came to America with nothing, worked hard, graduated college and went on to be a neurosurgeon. He further spoke about the people in power having the agenda to divide us by race, inherent ability, and financial means. He also admitted that there are problems in this country but he didn’t dwell on them nor on historic injustices. He did want to make sure we aren’t creating bigger problems by bringing a social experiment (Critical Race Theory) into the classroom. What I took away from these two gentlemen is maybe it isn’t about the color of the skin but rather the eyes through which they see.

ners came into the school zoo and first spotted the animals were still pretty real, even if the animals weren’t. The class went and visited each animal together at first but then broke up into pairs and trios to go and take a little more time at each station. I loved how excited the kids were – how they couldn’t help but touch the inflatable animals even after being told repeatedly not to touch them. I loved the wonder in their voices as they were exploring as a class and visiting each animal’s station for the first time. It’s not every day you hear “Please don’t touch the tiger.” Hall said her class had a blast and did a scavenger hunt. They had a worksheet with the animals on it, and, when they found one, they could color it in. Then they wrote about their favorite animal on the back of the worksheet. Daniel said she loved hearing the sounds of amazement her students made when they visited the zoo earlier in the morning and the joy in their voices. I got a chance to speak with Preston during the visit about why she was so happy to see this simple inflatable zoo experience unfold for the children. She said she has been the instructional assistant for kindergarten for a number of years and seen plenty of zoo trips and the pure enjoyment the students had on those field trips. “There are so many things that these kids are missing out on that they didn’t know they were missing out on,” she said. But she and the other staff members there knew, and, like educators all over this county and country, they tried to give them a piece of what they were missing.

United States, working hard, and succeeding. He argued that CRT is about dividing and conquering people and teaching black and white children that they have prescribed roles from birth they cannot escape. DaLynn Prince-Jones talked to the supervisors about the racial slurs Powhatan students of color experience in school and the racism she experiences as an adult despite her many accomplishments. She questioned whether Byerly’s comments about not seeing racism were really just about turning a blind eye. Several high school students also spoke in person or via Zoom and recounted examples of racism they have seen firsthand. Meredith Perry told the supervisors she supported Byerly because it is the board’s job to hold the purse strings and said he shouldn’t have been attacked and labeled a racist (and the same for those who support him) for asking questions on behalf of constituents. Fannie Snead read a statement on behalf of the Powhatan Chapter of the NAACP to the school board that included the school division’s work during COVID-19. She talked about the importance of students learning history from different perspectives, including people of different races, religions, genders, and other groups throughout the nation’s history. Darrell Griffin told the supervisors he is not concerned about history being taught in schools as long as it is accurate. However, he said the schools are swerving into his lane by teaching his child things that he finds reprehensible. Christine Cadigan questioned comments Byerly made regarding a student survey done at the high school where they were asked
about bullying and racism being issues in their school. Byerly had pointed to the lower numbers on the “agree” side of the survey, to which Cadigan questioned what he considered an acceptable threshold for allowing bullying and racism in schools before it is actually viewed as a problem. That survey was highlighted in a PowerPoint created by two PHS teachers that Byerly heavily criticized in his May 3 comments. One of the teachers, Nashae Jones, noted to the supervisors that the PowerPoint was created for a private presentation at a professional conference. Despite all of the animosity it stirred up after being shared in Powhatan, she remarked that only one parent was actually willing to meet and discuss their concerns with her and that she never heard from any of the supervisors to gather information. Amanda Cozack pointed out that if these issues were this divisive to adults, how much more confusing would it be for children to tackle. Dr. Heather Williamson gave several examples of what she said were CRT in practice, both in Powhatan and elsewhere. She talked about a lesson using a book called “Julian is a Mermaid” being inappropriate for young children or a teacher using examples such as kneeling during the National Anthem to talk about peaceful protest. On this note, at the end of the school board meeting, Eric Jones addressed how some of the specific concerns that were brought to the schools’ attention were addressed, sometimes with changes in the curriculum or materials used and sometimes not. But he said the best way to address parent concerns would be for them to bring them to the teachers, school administrators, or even to him directly in a conversation over the phone or in person.

Powhatan Elementary students go wild for the zoo
S Since Powhatan Elementary School kindergarten teachers couldn’t take their students on the h usuall annuall field f ld ttrip to the zoo, they decided to bring the zoo to the school. Lori Preston, who is the kindergarten instructional assistant, applied for and received a small grant to purchase inflatable animals. Teachers created signs. Volunteers a made vests and binoculars out of recycled materials so the students could become zookeepers. To top it off, each m sstudent received a safari hat courtesy of the school’s PTO. Armed with their supplies, the kindergarten and Head Start students explored the zoo, which was set up in a playground near their classrooms, and learned about 12 difS fferent kinds of animals.

for really preparing him for this moment. “It’s a definitely a big step, and I’m very much looking forward to it,” Holt said of competing collegiately, “and I could not have done it without them.” Holt is a very religious person, and Danville, according to Forbes.com, is called the “City of Churches” due to having more churches per square mile than any other city in Virginia. “It’s a very, very unique place,” Holt said, “and I’m very much looking forward to going down there.” He said he believes he is there not only to perform well athletically and academically, but to “be a light down in Danville.” “I believe God has a plan for me down there to share His word,” Holt said. “He’s given me these gifts and abilities to share that.”

Linwood Hill Across the past two years, Hill has been a leader on Powhatan’s wrestling team both on and off the mat. When he wasn’t competing, he could be seen encouraging and motivating his teammates during their matches. “Nothing’s going to change,” Hill said. “I’m just going to be the same me – the same wrestler.” Hill also followed an uncommon high school wrestling path by moving down weight classes as he got older as opposed to going up. He dropped from 220 pounds his sophomore year to 195 pounds as a junior and then to 170 as a senior. It paid off. Not only did Hill contribute to Powhatan’s wrestling team going undefeated (15-0) in the regular season, but he had a phenomenal rebound in the postseason. He rallied out of the consolation bracket in regionals to win second place and advance to states; from there, he became Powhatan wrestling’s highest finisher this year when he took second for his first high school state podium. Hill praised Powhatan’s wrestling coaches including head coach Jonathan Tanaka, and he pointed out that coach Zach Olson made it about fixing the little things more than about adding new things before they fixed the little things. “He catered to what you needed to fix,” Hill said. “That’s what helped me for college.” Hill feels that Patrick Henry CC, located in the Martinsville area, is the best fit for him right now. He also complimented the Patriots’ head wrestling coach, Justin Smith. “I’ve seen him at Big Blue, we’ve met him at tournaments, he’s an area coach…he knows what he’s doing,” Hill said of Smith, who previously coached at Franklin County High School. He added of Smith: “I like a coach that can laugh. That’s a big thing with me; I joke a lot, so I like a coach that can laugh.” Hill is looking to compete in either the 165-pound or 174-pound weight class. He’s focused on getting into the gym more as he prepares for the collegiate level. “After I get in the gym more, I feel like college is going to be really fun.” Hill added: “I just want to be in the lineup. I just want to fit into the team. I want to be a team player next year.”

one of James River’s shooters had pushed the ball into clear space, and as she sprinted towards the goal, she looked to challenge the keeper in a 1-on-1 battle. She took the shot. The ball ricocheted off of the left post and into the arms of Powhatan sophomore goalkeeper Ella Chitty. The Indians’ defense never wavered, and when the referee’s whistle blew to signify fulltime, Powhatan’s varsity girls soccer team cheered after securing the 1-0 shutout over James River. With Thursday’s triumph, the Indians, who compete in Class 4, completed a sweep of their two regular-season meetings with the Class 6 Rapids. “This game right here marked us on the map,” said Powhatan senior captain Sarah Amiss. “Teams did not know what we’ve got coming out, but this defined

this was overall our best game we have played as a unit up to this (point of the) season,” Powhatan head soccer coach Willie Miles said Friday. “Our guys were creative when facilitating possession around the field/transitioning up and down the field as a unit, and had multiple chances on net. We were able to control tempo and flow of the game for the majority of the time.” The go-ahead goal was scored by ju-

had the big-school feel and a lot of options, but when he went down to Danville, the family atmosphere at Averett – the small-town feel, the fact that the coaches, the teachers and some of the deans of the school’s different programs took time out of the day to meet with him – made an impression on him. “It was just a great, small-town feel,” Holt said. “I’m really looking forward to playing football, wrestling and eventually getting my masters there.” Holt, who played at tight end and was also Powhatan football’s kicker his senior year, is going for both positions on Averett’s football team. On the wrestling side, he will most likely compete as a heavyweight. Holt is the first Powhatan High School student-athlete since Lindsey Fanz (cross country, track and field at Louisville) to compete in two collegiate sports. “It presents a lot of different challenges, but I’m definitely looking forward to it,” Holt said. “Sports have always allowed me to focus on my academics as well, and so kind of having that dynamic kind of allows me to have that security and kind of knowing that I’ll be able to tackle my schoolwork as well as the athletic part of it.” When it comes to his future teammates, he’s heard that it’s a very tightknit group. He praised the coaches’ style. “The coaches are very no-nonsense, which is very much what I like; they’re straight to business,” Holt said. “They care very much about the academics as opposed to the sport/the athletics over the academics, which is what you want in a college. They’re there to help you succeed, not necessarily to make their team better. They put you first, and not
the program.” Holt was the first athlete from a Powhatan County school to compete in a varsity contest since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. That was in early January, when he pinned his 220-pound weight class opponent in 16 seconds to open Powhatan’s wrestling season. While an injury later in the stretch kept him from finishing out his final high school campaign on the mat as a competitor, Holt stayed with the team throughout the season and could be seen helping his wrestling team by livestreaming and commentating on his teammates’ matches. Holt returned to competitive action on the gridiron in March and helped his Powhatan football team achieve a winning season of 4-2. Holt’s highlights included but were not limited to: scoring 10 of Powhatan’s 16 points in its season-opening win over L.C. Bird with a six-yard touchdown catch, a PAT and a 22-yard field goal in the rain; making a 30-yard field goal plus two PATs against Manchester; and landing all five of his PAT kicks in the Indians’ 43-42 triple-overtime triumph over Clover Hill. Holt didn’t start varsity until his junior year – he said he wanted to get a little more playing time at the JV level before going up – and while he earned accolades towards the end of his junior year, his senior year, he said, helped solidify a lot of what he knew. “I got to spend time with my teammates…build that camaraderie and that confidence that is needed for an athlete,” Holt said. He praised all of his coaches in both of Powhatan’s football and wrestling programs for helping him so much, and
After Richard Bland College’s coach John Fletcher reached out to him, Woodel took a visit to the South Prince George-area school, liked it there and made his decision to attend the twoyear junior college. “It’s more of like a smaller college,” Woodel said. “I think it’ll be an easier transition into it, and then once I transfer out, wherever I go to, I think I’ll be ready for it.” In his sophomore season on Powhatan’s varsity baseball team, Woodel with his versatility contributed to a 12-7 season and an appearance in the regional quarterfinals in 2019. In his Senior Night game a week prior to the signing ceremony, Woodel sparked a 5-3-1 double play with an agile pickup of a bunt and also fielded two flyouts in foul territory – including one he ran down near the fence – to help Powhatan fend off Clover Hill 3-2. In addition to delivering lockdown defense, Woodel has been a reliable hitter throughout his career. In an earlyseason 16-5 rout of L.C. Bird, Woodel hit a double, had 2 RBI and scored twice. He can also pitch, too, as he threw five scoreless innings against Monacan last Tuesday and struck out nine “We’ve got some great coaches…you just learn a lot of things from these coaches; they have so much experience,” Woodel said. “I’ve learned everything I’ve ever learned from here and them.” He’s projected to play at third base for the Statesmen. He’s looking to improve his arm speed, his approach to the plate and his IQ of the game. Woodel praised his future head coach Fletcher as “a great guy” and pointed to his experience. “It’ll be great to just go there, get the experience,” Woodel said, adding: “I’m just looking to compete when I get there and see what I do.”
us. This game tonight defined us. “No one really expects it, but we’re all here to prove something,” Amiss said. “I think we did that here tonight.” It was also Powhatan’s first shutout since their 10-0 rout of L.C. Bird on Senior Night two weeks prior to Thursday’s game. Defense across the board was locked in, and freshman Sally Woodard consistently weathered pressure on her side of the field. With about 11 minutes to play, Woodard swooped in to stall out a James River shooter’s clear look at a 1-on-1 shot on goal. Behind her defenders, Chitty excelled at moving up to pounce on saves. Before catching the deflected shot off of the post, she had swooped in on a slide to stop another strong chance by the Rapids. She also had two big falling grabs earlier in the second half – one with under 26:30 to play, the other with around 13 remaining – and she dove in for a stop with under 6:10 to play in the first half. “Ella is probably one of the best goalkeepers I’ve seen in Powhatan history,”
Amiss said. “She is out there for every single one of us. She is fighting for us, and she is not afraid to dive in there, man. Not afraid – no fear in her.” Two freshmen keyed Powhatan’s goahead goal with less than 11 minutes to play in the first half. Bella Russell, with a monster surge across midfield, zipped the ball to Mara Rutkai, who slid the ball into the bottom right corner of the netting on her shot from the left side. In this short season – and in its Dominion District debut, no less – Powhatan, who was 4-2 ahead of Tuesday’s 7 p.m. home game versus Midlothian, has shown time and time again that age and grades are just numbers. Of the 19 players listed on the varsity roster, 13 are either sophomores or freshmen. “It’s honestly amazing to get a chance to be a leader on this strong team, because we have so much talent, more than we’ve ever had,” Amiss said. “Every single one of us is out here to win it. Every single one of us has the heart to do it, too.”

nior Parker Sloan on what Miles called a beautiful assist from Fischer Daniel with 4 minutes left in the game. “This moment was a fantastic sequence in connections from (goalie Tucker Thomas) to our midfield, a key play up from Keegan McCullough to Fischer Daniel and that then created the goal scoring opportunity,” Miles said. “Once Parker settled the ball, he finished it with class.” Following Powhatan’s goal, the Chiefs came out firing in the last 3 minutes. But in the final 60 seconds of the
game, McCullough made a key goal-line clearance to push it upfield, leading to an almost-goal via Daniel and Sloan. Miles noted that Thomas, the goalkeeper, was a key contributor to the win. “His saves were big-time and kept us in it until the end,” Miles said. “I am glad he was able to earn his first varsity shutout in this game; he totally earned this one for us.” Although James River in Thursday’s game won again 6-0 over Powhatan, Miles noted that the Indians had more opportunities going towards the Rapids’ goal
this time around. Thomas also had another huge contest for Powhatan in the net. “He prevented so many additional chances that could have gone in,” Miles said, “and has been a strong presence in net in each game this year.” Two other key contributors in Thursday’s game were sophomores Connor Nickerson and Colton Hiatt. “They both were playing their hearts out trying to create opportunities up the field while also transitioning to relieve pressure from James River’s attack,” Miles said.

dox of an on-court war of thunderous serves and powerful ground strokes delivered by Pfab and his opponent Connor Johnson, noted Powhatan’s head boys tennis coach Lee Kelley. Johnson looked to have the advantage at two different points of the match: when he won the first set 6-3, and then when he led the tiebreaker set 5-0 and 6-2. But Pfab rallied in response to both occasions. He started by winning his second set 6-3. “The thunder you heard in the second (set) was Jacob’s first serves finally finding their mark,” Kelley said. Jacob’s first-serve percentage increased and the match momentum shifted in the second set as Pfab applied the pressure to gain easier points. And then, after Johnson grabbed a big lead in the tiebreak, Pfab steadied himself once more, offsetting the barrage of strong shots made by Johnson as he started leaning into his shots for more pace and power. He unleashed an unanswered 8-0 run to win the tiebreak 10-6 and secure the match. Against James River’s Zain Quader on Thursday, Pfab won 6-3, 6-2. Pfab landed three aces on first serves in the final game. Two of Pfab’s Powhatan teammates, No. 4 Peter Rusin and No. 6 Kayden Rogers, forced tiebreak games on one of their two sets, but their James River opponents won the tiebreak games to secure their individual matches. Overall, James River won the team match over Powhatan 8-1. The Indians, who had also taken 8-1 team setbacks to Cosby and Midlothian across the two days prior, looked to

“Emily has always had great enthusiasm; she’s obviously a very good player. She and Michael are both very skilled, very talented players. They have opposite personalities,” Winterrowd said. “Emily is very happy-golucky, great enthusiasm all the time, very physical player, always hustles… and Michael on the other hand is aggressive, got the killer instinct, wanting to score goals…they have the perfect complementary personalities for captains I think, and they’ve done a good job this year. I’ve been really proud of them.” After Brunswick Academy took a 1-0 lead on Tuesday, Timmons tied up the match before the end of the first half when he finished a cross in the box from eighth grader Ryder Hansen, who shone brightly in his first season on varsity. “He’s doing a fantastic job; he’s going to be a big deal before he leaves here I think,” Winterrowd said of Hansen, who had the assist on Timmons’ goal. Stephen Dinora also had an outstanding game, and he put the bow on his efforts when, in the second half, he knocked in the go-ahead goal on a header. “He’s been huge for us this year… he had a goal against Brunswick in the

bounce back at Monacan on Monday and L.C. Bird on Tuesday in their final slated matches of the regular season. Thursday evening was also Senior Night as Powhatan boys tennis celebrated the contributions and leadership of senior player Connor Voorhees. “As team captain, Connor was a vital link in the chain of communication with myself and the team. As an offcampus coach I depended on him keeping the team informed as I communicated with the team parents,” Kelley said. “As a player coming from a sport that requires focusing on one major moving object, the golf club, to a sport that requires you to focus on your movement, the ball movement and your opponent’s movement, he competed well. “Again, his ability to lead is his strength!” Kelley said. “We will miss him as he moves on to North Carolina State University.” last game at the top of the box, he put it in the upper 90, outstanding strike,” Winterrowd said of Dinora. “He’s very versatile…if we needed him to play center back, he can play center back… if he needed to play on top, play striker, he can do that, too. He’s an outstanding athlete. We’re really lucky to have him.” Patrick Maynes was constantly flying to the ball and was key in getting it out of danger spots on defense. “He’s a very aggressive, physical kid,” Winterrowd said. “I’m super-impressed with his work ethic. He and Stephen are very good complementary players to have in the back and in the middle, too. They’re both tall, can both challenge for the ball, and they both want the ball at their feet. It’s awesome having them here.” With under 2 minutes left in regulation, Brunswick’s goalie mishandled a ball that was put into play by Hansen; Kenny Hickey got there – “just like we’re telling him: ‘run to the post, run to the post,’” Winterrowd said – and he tapped in the insurance goal for BSH. “He’s a guy who has not gotten enough minutes on varsity yet, but he hustled his butt off and got a goal; that was awesome,” Winterrowd said of Hickey. “I’m really happy for him.” BSH goalie Tyler Jenkins had a couple of big saves in the second half, including one where he absorbed a hard-kicked ball with 18:30 to play to keep the tying shot out of the net.
Powhatan’s boys lacrosse team routed Monacan 21-4 on the night that it honored five seniors and longtime contributors to the program. Powhatan’s Senior Night honored the contributions of Andrew Bastiaensen, Ryland Davis, Nate Gray, Chase Mahaney and Brandon Palmore. “Truly they are the bedrock of our program,” said Powhatan head coach Joe Niles. “They’ve been here for four years now, they understand the culture really, really well and…they really help the young guys along. It’s almost like having five extra coaches on the field sometimes. “I cannot say enough about what those players mean,” Niles said. “They’re just amazing young men and we’re really sad to see them go.” Mahaney and Davis have held down the roles of face-off specialists, and both players have joined seniors Palmore and Gray in bolstering Powhatan’s attack up front. In Wednesday’s win over Monacan, Gray, Mahaney and Palmore netted 3 goals apiece, and Davis scored 1. Bastiaensen continued to play a key role as one of the Indians’ transition/defensive middies. “He does a super job doing that – su-
per athletic kid, super nice kid,” Niles said of Bastiaensen. “A lot of what he does doesn’t show up in the stats a lot of times. He does the dirty work that nobody likes to do, like: picks up those ground balls, and he’s a great teammate.” The seniors have set the example for their younger teammates through how they approach the game. “It’s the little things, like: how you warm up, how you get ready…how to practice the right way,” Niles said. Powhatan’s young talent also continued to impress. Junior returner Hayden Somerville and sophomore Paxton Sloan, in his first regular season on varsity, led the team in scoring with 4 goals each. “A lot of the younger guys just have to realize they can; it’s one of those things, just realizing that they can actually play at this level, they haven’t before,” Niles said. “The game is starting to slow down a little bit for them, so they just have to realize that they can actually play, and play with confidence.” Freshman Luca Blevins broke out in the second half, netting 3 goals. “The kid has incredible vision, he sees the field better than anybody out there,” Niles said, “and he’s like the rest of our guys on our team: we’re all undersized; but he plays with such a huge heart, and he never stops.”

shutout. “I was just really proud of all the JV girls today; they really are starting to learn the game and they gave 200-percent effort,” said Powhatan head coach Laura Camp. “We had some JV players play positions they hadn’t played before, and they just did a really good job, and I’m happy that they had the opportunity to play tonight because they don’t have as many games as varsity, so I wanted to get them the game experience that they need to improve their game.” JV players Hunter King and Kennedy Dowdy each scored 2 goals in the varsity team’s win, and Mariah Keuther netted 1. Sophomore Berkeley Richter, who is brand new in goal on JV this year, earned her first varsity shutout against the Bulldogs and made a save in the second half. Among the varsity regulars, Jessie Fens, Grace Hayden, Hannah Johnson and Sophie Payne each scored 2 goals, and Lexi Campbell, Kate Adams, Casey Grell, Sam Flippo and Taylor Fitzsimmons all chipped in 1 apiece. Junior Jordan Krauss had two assists. Despite being young, the Indians have excelled so far, improving to 5-1. “It’s so exciting. I really expected this year to be a growing year because

we do have such a young team, and it is a growing year, but every single player out there contributes, and I think having so much depth is just exciting for us, because we have so many threats on the field, not just a couple,” Camp said. “I’m so proud of the girls.
