Faye Barton retiring as treasurer By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – For Faye Barton, every penny was worth chasing. In her 20 plus years as Powhatan’s treasurer and nine years as a county employee in the office before that, Barton said she has never been even a penny off. She always made sure her numbers balanced.

“The reason I am leaving is my husband is really sick. It is bittersweet. I love the community and I love my job. I feel like I have done a lot for this office, and I really want to thank the people who have supported me in the elections,” she said. Barton appointed her chief deputy, Rebecca “Becky” Nunnally, to serve as interim until a special election in November 2021 that will include races for the treasurer’s office and the District 2 supervisor seat. During her time with the county, Barton has worked with two prior treasurers, seven county administrators, seven fi-

POWHATAN – A special ceremony held last week to honor the late wife of a dedicated local firefighter was supposed to be a surprise for her husband. But the laugh was on the dozens of people who successfully kept the secret from him when he did the one thing none of them anticipated – he left town. Carroll Smith, a lifetime member of Powhatan Volunteer Fire Department Company 1, has not missed a membership meeting in the roughly 11 years he has served at the station. Often if you want to find him, you would

search the station first or check to see if he is out on a call. So, when company members conspired with his family to hold a dedication ceremony on Monday, May 17 for a special bench they bought in honor of his late wife, Gretchen Smith, getting him to the ceremony without letting him in on the surprise didn’t seem like a big deal. But as the time for the regular evening meeting came and went and Smith was a no-show, the question of the night became, “Where is Carroll?” It turns out, Carroll went to the beach with his brother, who has been ill, and didn’t tell anyone. “Of all the times for me to go do something,” Carroll said disbelievingly a few days later in a phone call from the beach. “That was a well-kept secret or I wouldn’t have gone and missed it. I am really sorry I missed it.”
Smith laughed as he talked about his bad timing and said Gretchen was probably watching and had a good laugh about it, too. But he just as quickly became choked up as he spoke about how touched he was by Company 1’s gesture in honor of his wife of 40 years, who died on Feb. 27 at age 77. “I felt bad at first because I wasn’t there. But then I felt blessed that people care that much about me and her. It was an honor for them to do something like that,” he said. Once the shock of Carroll’s disappearance wore off, Company 1 still moved ahead with the ceremony on May 17 since all five of their daughters and their families had come out for the surprise. Company 1 president Brenda Breon spoke briefly to the family before unveiling the bright green see SMITH, pg. 6
POWHATAN – Powhatan’s representatives in the General Assembly recently spoke to local business leaders about what was accomplished or failed to move forward in the busy short session during a Powhatan Chamber of Commerce lunch. State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield, and Del. Lee Ware, R-65, easily shared the stage to talk about the recent session in a luncheon that has become an annual tradition, although it didn’t happen in 2020. The chamber luncheon was held on Thursday, May 20 at The County Seat Restaurant. Speaking for about 40 minutes, the representatives took turns touching on issues they dealt with this year, sometimes from opposing sides but still respectfully. Some of the key issues they highlighted included the increasing minimum wage, tax conformity, funding K-12 and higher education, workforce demand, environmental protections, and evictions. Although Ware is now in his 12th term and Hashmi is in her first, both legislators agreed
that the last two sessions have been a whirlwind of activity unlike any they have experienced. The issues they touched on during the chamber luncheon veered more toward business and education and away from many of the session’s more high profile and controversial issues faced by the General Assembly this year.
Wages In a setting like a chamber meeting, the legislators were sure to talk about several issues that impact Virginia businesses. One of the first issues Ware talked about was the increase in the state’s mandatory minimum wage. As of May 1, Virginia’s minimum wage went from $7.25 per hour to $9.50 per hour — a 31% increase. The 2021 change is the first of three scheduled increases that will raise minimum pay for most non-farm jobs in Virginia to $11 in Jan. 1, 2022, and $12 per hour in January 2023. The goal is for the increases to continue annually until the minimum wage reaches $15 per hour on Jan. 1, 2026, contingent on future actions by the Gensee CHAMBER, pg. 6
Powhatan Garden Club ready to bloom By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – As more and more aspects of life get back to normal in the wake of the pandemic, one local group is making a big stride forward in June. After not meeting since February 2020, the Powhatan Garden Club is returning to in-person meetings with a new time and location and a renewed commitment to connecting with the local community, said Laura Divinski, who will be sworn in as the new
president at the June 3 meeting. The Powhatan Garden Club’s mission is to educate the public on gardening, landscaping, and floral design. It will continue that goal when it resumes its meetings on the first Thursday of the month at the Powhatan Rescue Squad Building, 3920 Marion Harland Road. The gathering starts at 10 a.m. for refreshments and at 10:30 a.m. for the meeting and program. The pandemic was difficult to navigate for the group at first, because, like everybody else, they
weren’t sure what was going on, Divinski said. “We contemplated Zoom meetings, but because our meetings always have a guest speaker and they create things like floral arrangements or they teach about gardening, the platform of our meetings wasn’t very conducive to doing it on Zoom,” she said. Now with the group getting CONTRIBUTED PHOTO back together for the first time in more than a year and installing Laura Divinski said the the officers that will lead them for Powhatan Garden Club the next two years, she said the is ready to return to insee GARDEN, pg. 8

HOW DO SOLAR PANELS WORK? It’s a tempting prospect for home owners to harness the power of the sun to get free energy. Many of us have thought about heating and powering our home for free, and selling the excess energy back to the power companies. A process called Photo-voltaic or PV that turns daylight into electrical energy is built into a solar panel. Solar Panels are made from a layer of silicon cells that are interconnected and form an electrical circuit sandwiched between a black glass sheet that faces towards the sun. When the panel is exposed to sunlight, the circuit is energized and electricity is produced.
The Powhatan Chamber of Commerce and Powhatan Economic Development partnered this month for the Movies in May outdoor film series. Shown here, a good crowd attended the May 8 showing of ‘The Sandlot.’ The series also included showings of ‘Star Wars’ and ‘The Princess Bride.’
A professional Solar Consultant can analyze your home’s parameters and come up with a system to meet your needs.

Unexpected vehicle valuations for 2021 Contributed Report Historically, vehicle values tend to depreciate from month to month. As such, the predicted value of any vehicle would be lower than the value of that same vehicle the previous January. In early 2020, vehicle values were trending as the industry normally expected. Then, in March, COVID-19 altered the anticipated trends of the automobile industry. As a result, all major vehicle valuation services, not just National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), indicated increased market values between January 2020 and January 2021. Just over the summer of 2020, prices increased over 10% for the U.S. used car market as a whole. Several key market events, beginning as far back as mid-2019, played a part in the values established in January 2021. These events include but are not limited to: In March 2020, the Federal Reserve cut the interest rates to near 0%. These low interest rates, on both new and preowned vehicles, allowed consumers to purchase vehicles sooner than they would have in the past. A strong demand means higher prices. The COVID-19 related closing of certain auto manufacturing plants for the necessary production of ventilators and other personal protective equipment caused a further reduction in inventory. These plants are now also waiting on technology “chips” used in new cars and
trucks which creates a strain on the used car market. Large fleet companies (E.g.: rentals agencies and car services) chose not to replace inventory, adding to the shortage of preowned vehicles in the market. In accordance with The Code of Virginia 58.1-3503, the County of Powhatan Commissioner of the Revenue uses the “Clean Loan Value” established by NADA as fair market value. This value is established as of Tax Day (Jan. 11). The commissioner’s office will make adjustments for vehicles exceeding the mileage indicated in the pricing guide. Call the commissioner’s office before you pay the bill to submit the application for any adjustments for high mileage/vehicle condition (appraisal required) etc. at 804-598-5616 or visit http://www.powhatanva.gov/213/Commissioner-of-theRevenue. Commissioner of the Revenue Jamie Timberlake said, “We haven’t seen an increase in used vehicle prices since 2010 right after the Cash for Clunker disaster the federal government subsidized. We did a press release in March 2021 to notify county residence of the increased assessments. This information was also provided to the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors and the county administrator on Feb. 2, 2021. The Personal Property tax rate was not lowered in the 2021 budget, therefore personal property tax bills are higher than 2020 for a majority of vehicle owners.”

Expectations low for democratic primary turnout By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – Turnout for the June 8 Democratic Primary in Powhatan is projected to be on par with similar elections in previous years with about 5% of registered voters expected to cast a ballot. The primary is to decide who will be the democratic candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general. Karen Alexander, director of elections, said there has been little interest in the county so far in the election, so she is expecting the turnout to be about the same as it was four years ago, when there was a 5.5% turnout. “We are about halfway through early voting. About 130 people have requested to vote by mail and we have had 20 vote in person,” she said. “So, I am anticipating a less than 5% turnout for this election when everything is said and done.” The candidates for governor in the democratic primary are Terry R. McAuliffe, Jennifer L. McClellan, Jennifer D. Carroll Foy, Lee J. Carter,
and Justin E. Fairfax. The candidates for lieutenant governor are Hala S. Ayala, S. "Sam" Rasoul, Andria P. McClellan, Elizabeth R. Guzman, Sean A. Perryman, Mark H. Levine, and Xavier JaMar Warren. The attorney general candidates are Jerrauld C. "Jay" Jones and Mark R. Herring. Early voting, which began on April 23, will continue in person through Saturday, June 5. The local office will still have early voting office hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 29 and June 5, the last two Saturdays before the election in the voter registrar’s office in the basement of the Village Building. There will not be a drive-thru early voting tent for the primary. The deadline to request an absentee ballot to be mailed to you is Friday, May 28. On Election Day, all precincts will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Alexander noted that there are some changes to voting precincts since two of the locations that were not used during the presidential election are allowed to be polling places again. The Catholic Diocese of Richmond
gave permission for the use of its properties in elections again, she said. As such, Precinct 103 (Flat Rock) is moving back to St. John Neumann Catholic Church, 2480 Batterson Road, and Precinct 301 (Bethesda) will return to Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School, 2501 Academy Road. However, one change that was made for the presidential election will stay the same. Precinct 401 (Powhatan Courthouse) has been permanently located to Powhatan Middle School, 4135 Old Buckingham Road, instead of being held at the Company 1 fire station. This decision was made because the fire station does not have enough space inside or in the parking lot to handle the capacity of the county’s largest precinct by number of voters, Alexander said. “Letters will be going out to everyone in those three precincts within the week, along with new voter ID cards labeling where their voting location will be,” she said last week. For more information or to request an absentee ballot, contact 804-5985604 or visit www.elections.virginia. gov.

nance directors, and numerous staff members. She has run in five elections – two with opponents. Powhatan County has changed a great deal during that time, she said. When Barton first started working for the county, the population was closer to 8,000 people. The treasurer’s office had four employees, including Barton, who worked part-time in those days. The county collected real estate taxes and personal property taxes once a year, and, at the time, the treasurer’s office wasn’t as persistent about collections as it is today. “It was only 8,000 people and it is hard to collect from your neighbor,” she said. As the county has grown and the treasurer’s office took on more responsibility, the staff has changed along with it. The office now has one part-time and seven full-time employees who stay busy collecting taxes twice a year and doing proration on a monthly basis, she said. In her time as treasurer, Barton said she came to understand

Contributed Report Powhatan County Public Schools recently announced that three students won Southside Regional Awards in the 2021 Virginia School Boards Associa-
that while her office deals in hard numbers, the job is often about working with people, especially those going through a difficult time. “That is the hard part of this job but it is part of this job. It is important, because, if you don’t collect it, you have to write it off and that falls as a burden on other taxpayers,” Barton said. At the same time, the treasurer said she was willing to work with people who were struggling with bills so they didn’t lose their homes. “You have to be a servant to do this job because you are going to meet all kinds of people that walk through that door. Whether you agree with what they believe in it is your job to help them to the best of your ability,” she said. Barton credited her staff members with so much of that work in serving the public. “I wish I had more time here because I do think the world of them. I think I am going to miss them even more when I am gone than I already am. I haven’t had time to think about it. But I am excited about this next chapter because I will have more time with my husband,” she said.

Pauline Evans, deputy treasurer III, has worked for Powhatan County for 36 years. She started out in 1985 in the building inspector’s office and transferred to the treasurer’s office in 1995. Evans said it has been wonderful working with Barton since coming to the office. The two have butted heads through the years, Evans said, but she described Barton as “one smart lady.” “She stands her ground when she knows it is right and she knows what is good for this office. She will stand up to anybody and fight for her girls in this office,” Evans said. Evans agreed with Barton’s self-assessment about being precise about her figures down to the last penny. “If it takes her a day and a half to find that penny, she is going to find it. If anything is off, she will find it. She doesn’t stop until she finds it. We all know that,” Evans said with a smile. When Barton announced she was retiring, Evans said she was initially sad but was still happy that her boss would have more time with her husband. Barton asked Evans, who was considering retirement, to stay until her
term was up back when she thought she would be there until July 1. Evans’ last day will be June 30, which will take her to 36 years and one month of service to the county. “It has been wonderful. We had some rough patches but we got through it and I am still here. You have your bad days. People don’t always agree. You’ve got to put it behind you,” Evans said. “I have enjoyed working with all the people and the knowledge I am coming out with of how an office is supposed to be handled.” Linda Jones, former human resources manager, worked for the county from 1999 to 2018. She said Barton was very welcoming when she first started with the county – almost aggressively so. “She was almost like a Mack truck. She wouldn’t take no for an answer. She was like come on we are going to lunch,” Jones said with a laugh. The two women worked closely together through the years on payroll issues. Jones said she could tell Barton made her decisions with the county’ financial interest as her top priority, but she was also reason-

able when it came to working with people going through a rough patch. Outside of work, Jones said she is also happy to count Barton as a friend and recalled a number of fun trips they took with others in the office. “She just was very generous and a great hostess. I really can remember just rolling on the floor laughing,” Jones said. Karen Alexander, director of elections, said she has known Barton for 12 years. She worked with her whenever it was election time and Barton would need to come in and take care of paperwork. “As a candidate working with her, it was very smooth and easy because she understood the process and was very grateful from whatever help she received from me,” Alexander said. On a personal level, Alexander added that Barton is laid back, funny, and makes everyone around her feel important. “She would engage with you and took interest in you and was just incredibly friendly,” Alexander said.

Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan to kick off 20th anniversary celebration Contributed Report Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan is celebrating 20 years of building community through constructing homes, repairing houses, and upcycling goods.

eral Assembly. Ware pointed out that the issue of the minimum wage is being discussed at the federal level as well, so many things could change in the next few years. Education was talked about in several ways, including in relation to the increase of the minimum wage. When the gap between minimum wage jobs and jobs that require higher education, such as teaching, are being closed so dramatically in just a few years, one person was concerned it is sending a message to the latter that their efforts aren’t valued. Ware said he agreed with the need to increase teacher salaries but also pointed out the effort this year toward that goal with the state funding its portion of a recommended 5% raise for school employees. The localities are responsible for making up the difference of the positions not covered by the state. Hashmi also agreed with the need to increase education funding and said the General Assembly has been working to restore previous level of standards of quality (SOQ) funding. For her and many others, education is a passion and a priority, she said. In his role on the House Finance Committee, Ware was involved in discussions about the annual tax conformity legislation, which this year was hotly debated in the General Assembly. The big question this year was to determine to what

extent Virginia would follow Congress’ intention to provide exemptions for Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. “In the House, the preference was for a much lower threshold of $25,000. The Senate – and I will say the republican minority in the House – favored the $100,000 exemption, which I think is far more realistic for businesses who were facing what they were facing this year,” Ware said. After much debate, legislators voted to allow businesses whose PPP loans were forgiven last year, or who received a Rebuild Virginia grant, to deduct up to $100,000 on their 2020 tax returns for eligible expenses paid for by the loans and grants. Ware said he was pleased with the final decision.
Workforce needs One piece of legislation that was Powhatan specific allowed a reduction in the number of members who serve on Powhatan’s Economic Development Authority (EDA). Ware, who patroned the bill, talked about how difficult it could be to reach a quorum, so the lower number was meant to ensure they could keep working on local issues even in times of lower membership. Education was talked about in a number of ways, which is no surprise given both Ware and Hashmi have backgrounds as teachers. Hashmi, a former English professor and the founding director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and
day included: 10 a.m., Adult “Construction” Spelling Bee (no entry fees); 11 a.m., Children’s “Bob the Builder” Spelling Bee; noon, Adult Local Trivia Contest, and 1 p.m., Children’s Local Trivia Contest. That day visitors also can decorate 2-by-4s with special messages. Buy two for $20 and your artwork or your family’s artwork will forever be embedded in the walls of Habitat’s next home. The nonprofit hopes many friends, customers, and neighbors will come out and celebrate this milestone together.
Learning at Reynolds Community College, sponsored a bill to establish an Office of Education and Labor Market Alignment to align data analysis on workforce needs with high education offerings. The goal would be to provide guidance on what to expect with Virginia’s future workforce development needs so higher education institutions are being proactive about providing courses of study that will create the workforce to meet those needs. The office will also help to make sure that we have effective collaboration across community colleges, careere and technical education (CTE) centers, business and economic development partners, and fouryear institutions. The governor approved the bill on March 31. “We have been caught off guard in some instances in the past where we have had wonderful job opportunities and new growth … but we haven’t had the workers who were skilled and ready to take those jobs,” she said. Hashmi also spoke about her support of the “Get Skilled, Get a Job, Give Back,” or G3, program that was signed into law on March 29. The program makes tuition-free community college available to low- and middle-income students who pursue jobs in high-demand fields. The G3 program includes $36 million to cover tuition, fees, and books and provide wraparound support for eligible students at the Commonwealth’s two-year public institutions.
Teen girl killed in accident Contributed Report The Virginia State Police is investigating a single-vehicle crash over the weekend in Powhatan that killed a 17-year-old girl and critically injured her 13-year-old passenger. Troopers responded to the accident at 1:06 p.m. on Sunday, May 23 on Anderson Highway just east of Stavemill Road, said Sgt. Dylan Davenport, public information officer. The preliminary investigation indicates a Toyota sedan was traveling east on Route 60 when it ran off the road to
Having worked with students for so long and knowing the issues they face, Hashmi said she was one of the patrons of the bill because she knew it would be transformative for them.
Evictions The General Assembly passed the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to extend pandemic-era protections for renters until July 1, 2022. The bill requires landlords to offer a tenant a payment plan to catch up on back rent before pursuing an eviction. Lawmakers also agreed to expand a tenant’s “right of redemption.” Both chambers endorsed a measure cracking down on landlords who illegally evict tenants. It would require courts to intervene sooner when tenants file emergency petitions. Ware, who voted against the bill in the House, pointed out that landlords with four or fewer rental units, after they give written notice, cannot begin the eviction process for 14 days. Landlords also have to notify the tenants of rent relief opportunities offered by the government or nonprofits, he said. Hashmi said she supportive the bill because the state was facing a catastrophe of evictions in the midst of the pandemic because of lost jobs. “When we were telling people to stay safe at home in order to put a stop or control over the pandemic, to have this massive eviction crisis on our hands was going to be counter to the ef-

The driver, a 17-yearold female, succumbed to her injuries onscene, Davenport said. The passenger, a 13-year-old male, was transported to a local hospital with lifethreatening injuries. Both occupants were wearing their seatbelts. The investigation into the crash is ongoing. Davenport said he could not release the names of minors.
forts that we were trying to make to secure the health and safety of our people,” she said.
Environmental concerns Of the 12 bills Hashmi said she was allowed to introduce at the short session, five were focused on environmental concerns and all failed. Hashmi said she was influenced in her decision to introduce these bills by Powhatan residents who are concerned about a “megalandfill” that is proposed in Cumberland County near the Powhatan border. One of the bills would have prohibited the construction of any new municipal solid waste landfill within 3 miles of any designated historic district, building, structure, object, or site. Another bill would have required that any application to store, provide treatment for, or dispose of hazardous waste or for a new solid waste management facility permit would have to include certification from the governing body for each locality within a 5-mile radius of the facility, other than the locality in which the facility is or will be located, granting approval of the facility or activity. Ware lauded Hashmi for advocating on Powhatan’s behalf against a “significant headwind.” He also talked about how environmental issues will be, referencing efforts to the state’s planned phase out of disposable plastic bags, single-use plastic and polystyrene food service containers, plastic straws and cutlery, and singleuse plastic water bottles.

bench, which has a plaque in memory of Gretchen. The bench was placed behind the station facing the training grounds since Carroll loves helping train young firefighters, Breon said. Company 1 members had been wondering what they could do in Gretchen’s memory because of the sacrifice she made being the wife of a firefighter, especially one as dedicated as Carroll. Breon noticed the benches in the Village and thought it would be a fitting way to honor them both. “We know how much she meant to him. This is something we wanted to do for him but still honor her,” Breon said. While offering a prayer during the bench dedication ceremony, former Powhatan Fire and EMS Chief Rick Bucher talked about the sacrifice made by not only firefighters but their families. Whether it is the constant noise of listening to the radio chatter in case a call comes in or the missed holidays, it is not always easy on a firefighter’s loved ones, said Bucher, who worked in Chesterfield County for 36 years before taking the

position in Powhatan. “We pray that those that sit upon this bench realize the sacrifices that families often make when their loved ones serve as volunteers or serve as career firefighters,” he said during the ceremony. The couple’s daughters were just as moved by the way the station recognized their parents. Kim Llewellyn of Powhatan said she and her sisters found the unexpected gesture very thoughtful and touching. However, she laughed as she said how mortified Gretchen would have been to be the center of attention. “She didn’t like any at-
tention. She was very much a behind-the-scenes supportive wife,” Llewellyn said. Carroll, a career firefighter who retired from the Richmond Fire Department after 43 years, readily admits being married to him took patience. More than once he left his wife in the middle of a meal at a restaurant or the family during a holiday celebration to go answer an emergency call. When he used to work 24-hour shifts in Richmond, she handled it well. “I have seen a lot of guys who quit the job because their wife couldn’t stand them being gone 24

hours. We had five daughters so she was busy all the time with them. She was a great mother,” he said. His wife loved the fire service and seeing him in uniform. Most of all, she knew how much he loved being a firefighter, so she was happy for him to do it, Carroll said. Gretchen was a devot-
ed Christian, an avid crafter, and was happiest when her family was together. She was a wonderful person with a great personality, Carroll said. “And she had a smile. Everybody would comment on her smile. She was like two different people. When she wasn’t smiling she looked differ-
ent. She was beautiful all the time, but when she smiled, she lit up the room,” he said. Smith finally did see the bench on May 21 and said he found it beautiful and incredibly moving. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

Outdoor movie series hits it out of the park By Laura McFarland Editor
I
thought I was settling. I was wrong. When Angie Cabell, executive director of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce, first talked to me about the new Movies in May series back in April, I was super excited. Going to the movies with friends is one of my favorite social outings, especially if we go for dinner or dessert afterward and talk about the film we just saw – good or bad. So going to the movies was obviously one of the many activities off limits during the height of the pandemic that I seriously missed. Some theaters are open now, although the future of the movie theater industry may be in question, but I still haven’t gone. I will admit that it hasn’t been fear of COVID-19 that kept me away these last few months but a real lack of anything I was particularly interested in seeing. Back to Movies in May. The chamber partnered with the Economic Development Department to put on the series of three movies, which were shown over three consecutive Saturdays. The schedule for the movie series saw “Star Wars” playing on May 1, “The Sandlot” on May 8, and “The Princess Bride” on May 15. When I first heard about the lineup, I immediately zoomed in on “The Princess Bride,” thinking it would be fantastic to get a group of friends – maybe even a girls’ night outing – together and quote along with the movie. I don’t know it as well as a few of my friends, but I still thoroughly enjoy it. And to get to watch it as an outdoor movie on top of that was a huge bonus.
As it turned out, I had other commitments on May 1 and 15, so my only option to attend was May 8. I remember watching “The Sandlot” a great deal as a child. A group of neighborhood kids play baseball and have misadventures in this movie set in summer 1962. While I have little interest in sports, I have some favorite sportsthemed movies, and this baseball classic was always on the list, although it had been a while since I last viewed it. Still, I wanted to go to the “movies.” So, I invited my friend to come along with her family and they agreed. A movie under the stars for the bargain price of $10 for eight people was a great deal. We ate dinner at a local restaurant, hauled butt to their house to pick up their chairs and blankets, and then rushed back to the Rescue Squad Grounds to find a spot. The venue wasn’t packed, but there were plenty of groups nicely spread out in the field with a few vendors on either side. We chose a spot right in the middle and set out our chairs to enjoy the movie. Within minutes of the movie starting, I was tightly wrapped up in my blanket as it was still quite chilly. Going into the movie night, I didn’t recall the full plot. Certain things I still remembered, such as the CPR scene at the pool, James Earl Jones’ appearance, an awkward kid finding a place to belong, and one of my favorite movie lines of all time – “You’re killing me, Smalls!” I have no shame in admitting I will still slip and say that on occasion when someone is being frustrating, whether they are old enough to get the reference or not. Oh, and one more thing. Mike Vitar. The actor who played Benny the Jet Rodriguez was featured heavily in the teen magazines in the early 1990s. I was only 11 when the movie was released, so I honestly don’t re-

member if I had a crush on him. But I know my stepsisters did and always wanted to see his picture when they came for their visits. So that was my mindset going into this outing – that and hoping the movie would be as good as I remembered since not all older movies have staying power. I am happy to say, in my humble opinion, it has held up to the test of time. There were so many moments I had forgotten that can still make me smile or outright laugh. I loved Ham’s explanation of s’mores, which is truly a must if there is any kind of open flame nearby. As an adult, I could appreciate how much of a truly good person the character of Benny was, who is the most skilled of the group but also was the most willing to give a chance to a kid with absolutely no skills and no clue. I also could appreciate the unrealistic expectation people had that a kid who had never been shown how to play couldn’t just do it automatically. It took someone genuinely wanting to help him learn for it to start happening. I had no recollection of the other team coming to challenge the sandlot kids or the hilarious insults that flew as a result. I like that the movie didn’t go the way of so many of that era – of making the other team the bad guys and beating them the ultimate goal. They had bigger fish to fry when they had to face off against The Beast. But my absolute favorite moment of the whole night was when my friend’s teenage daughter, who was sitting next to me, first spotted Mike Vitar and said, “Ooooh, he’s cute.” I immediately texted one of my step-sisters to tell her what had happed and said he had a new generation of fan girl. Some things are timeless.

Courtois. The business is located in the 2300 block of Batterson Road. The fire did not spread to the house and main shop next door, so the couple said they have been able to continue with the screen printing and embroidery side of their business. However, Mike Courtois said the destruction of his working garage meant he couldn’t do the vehicle work and sign carving he used to do. Work began in January on rebuilding the workshop, and Mike Courtois said he is thrilled to have his outdoor space back. He was devastated to lose all the tools and equipment he spent his career collecting, but he is excited about outfitting his workspace again. “It is just so nice to go out there and work and paint a sign.

Carol Courtois said they are also immensely grateful for community support.

judged virtually by a panel of judges prior to the meeting of school board members. The VSBA Regional Art Contest was started in 1989 to promote the artistic talents of Virginia’s public school students. For each of the nine VSBA regions, a winner is chosen for the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The winning art has traditionally been framed and displayed in the offices of the VSBA in Charlottesville and the Richmond offices of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. However, this year, because the contest was completely virtual, the winning artwork will be featured on the VSBA website and spotlighted during the VSBA Annual Convention, as well as featured in VSBA publications throughout the year.

Staff Reports Bouncing back from a home loss to Clover Hill, Powhatan baseball handed Midlothian its second loss of the season with a 4-3 victory on the road. The win was Powhatan’s third of the season. The Indians grabbed the lead on 3 runs in the top of the fourth inning and added an insurance run in the seventh to fend off a 2-run surge from the Trojans. Hayden Wasson earned the win in five innings on the mound; he scattered three hits, an earned run and three walks and struck out seven. see BOYS SOCCER, pg. 2B
POWHATAN -- Heads-up defense, timely hitting and strong pitching came together to elevate Powhatan softball to a decisive 7-1 victory over Clover Hill in the two teams’ second meeting this season. Powhatan head coach Marie Crump said it was “a very good team win.” “Defensively and offensively it took all of us to get the job done,” Crump said. “I thought we came up with some really key hits against a good team.” see SOFTBALL, pg. 2B

minated in Powhatan’s first winning season (10-5) in 2019, as well as in a current 2021 season record of 4-2 ahead of tonight’s road match at Clover Hill. Bastiaensen’s contributions to the varsity field and the lessons he learned through the program have also helped him to take his lacrosse career to the next level. He will attend and compete for Virginia Wesleyan University in Norfolk. “They just have a great school. I like the people there and I know some people there, and the teachers, they’re really cool,” Bastiaensen said. “The coaches are really nice...and they have a good lacrosse team.” He added of Virginia Wesleyan’s men’s lacrosse head coach J.P. Stewart: “He expresses himself a lot, and I like that. He taught me stuff when I was there during practice because I practiced with him, he taught me a lot of stuff...I learned how to play the game a lot faster than how I already do.” Bastiaensen will likely play as a midfielder for the Virginia Wesleyan Marlins. He hopes that the speed and physicality he currently brings will be a good part of the team. Between now and his first year on the college field, he’s looking to work on his strength, and his goals for when he joins the team including scoring a couple of goals, meeting new friends and new teammates, learning everyone there and working on school with his team.
Autumn McMillen (2 for 3, 3 RBI) hit two crucial doubles: one to shallow center field in the third inning as Emma Phillips came home for the insurance run, and a farsailing rocket deep into the outfield to bring home two of her teammates in the fifth and extend the home team’s lead to 5-1 at the time. Senior Sarah English hit an RBI triple into center field in the sixth inning and scored a run in the third; she also earned the victory in the pitcher’s circle, scattering four hits, one run and no walks across four innings pitched. She initiated a double play in the top of the third when she quickly rushed in to catch a shallow flyball off the bat for the out, then zipped the ball to senior second baseman Jillian Ratliff, who covered first base to retire a base runner who had too big of a lead off of first to get back in time to tag up. Ratliff was one of two players from Powhatan to score twice last Monday, and she sliced an RBI single past the first baseman in the sixth before she came home off of English’s triple to further grow

the team’s lead. Phillips also scored two runs in last Monday’s win and helped put her team on the scoreboard first. With the game tied at 0-0 in the bottom of the third and two of her teammates in scoring position, Phillips put a 2-2, two-out pitch into play, and the first baseman erred on the catch for an attempted throwout, enabling Phillips to safely reach first and both English and Ratliff to score. Phillips and Joy Johnson, who had come off of the bench to enter the rotation two weeks prior against the Rapids, started in the lineup on Monday, further showcasing that Powhatan has had more than nine players to turn to throughout this season. “It’s not about one or two players; you’ve got to have ev-
erybody,” Crump said. “Any day, people have got to come up with big plays.” Senior Ellie Barton made a heads-up play when a ball bounced off of her teammate’s glove to her, and she got it to first base in time with Joy Johnson making the stretch from first to complete the play. Madalyn Johnson, coming off of a huge game in which she pitched six hitless innings and struck out six in Powhatan’s 7-3 win on the road the previous week at James River, had another strong outing on Monday. The freshman pitched three hitless innings, struck out six and retired the side with eight pitches in the fifth inning. Her last pitch was a called strike on a full count, fanning the batter and ending the game.
“It was good to see her finish with that last pitch, because it could’ve gone the other way,” Crump said. Barton, Phillips, Kayla Davis, Emmalee Lawson, Joy Johnson and Carsen Hogston all had base hits on Monday, and Hogston scored a run in the sixth. Powhatan (6-2) will look to bounce back from last Tuesday’s 5-4 loss to Midlothian when it plays two 5 p.m. road games at Manchester on Tuesday and Cosby on Thursday before hosting L.C. Bird on Wednesday, June 2, 6 p.m. “What we look for this time of year is just growth from day to day, practice to practice, game to game,” Crump said. “I’ve seen a lot of growth in these young ladies, and that’s what it’s all about.”
behind him snatched a lineout, and the last two batters of the game were retired on flyouts. Cheatham batted 2 for 4 with a double and scored the first run of the game on an error by the Trojans’ third baseman in the fourth inning. Ben Allanson batted 2 for 3 with an RBI, and Connor Woodel had a hit and an RBI. Facing two outs in the top of the
fourth, Woodel and Allanson hit back-to-back line drives to right field to bring home Gayness and Reeves, respectively. After the Trojans scored a run on a double in the fifth, Powhatan notched a key run in the seventh when senior Stone Talley scored on a passed ball. Talley and senior Caden Beil each added a base hit.
In Powhatan’s 4-0 loss to Clover Hill, Talley batted 1 for 2 and pitched the final three one-third innings, allowing no runs, one hit and two walks and striking out three.

the district. With this year’s condensed season, Powhatan played Midlothian, James River and Monacan twice and Cosby, Manchester and LC Bird once. The team did not have the opportunity to play Clover Hill or anyone outside of the district. “It was difficult for our girls to compete with the top half of our district whose rosters are filled with girls who have taken clinics or lessons for years,” Maliff said Wednesday. “Abby Johnson, our No. 1 player, faced talented, experienced
girls every single match. We felt the emotions last night when Abby got her doubles win and the team as a whole finally won. We know all too well what LC Bird experienced last night, but we hadn’t had the elation of a win, and it made the season finale a special night under the lights.” In addition to the win, Maliff had a moment of coaching pride after a ball bounced off the shoe of a player who was standing behind the baseline. “Abby and Julia asked their opponent if indeed the ball had
hit her shoe before hitting the ground. When the reply was yes, they said, ‘Well then, that’s our point.’ Their call was correct,” Maliff said. “In this short season, these girls not only worked hard at improving their game but have had to learn the nuances of tennis rules, which includes tricky scoring, particularly in the tiebreaks. “For my team to have the knowledge and confidence to make this rare call showed me just how much progress they have made since first stepping
onto the courts at Powhatan High School.” With five of Powhatan’s top six starters graduating, Maliff said that they “will have quite a different team next year. “ “However, through our seniors, the younger players have seen how lessons and clinics during the offseason can improve their game,” Maliff said. “ The are 15 girls on my roster who are not graduating and whose enthusiasm for improvement is contagious. I can feel the love of tennis in Powhatan County spreading.”
South subregion and went on the road to face No. 1 North seed Eastern View (5-0). “The start of the season gave no promise nor indicators of the Indians making the playoffs. With one returning starter, Jacob Pfab, positions
2–6 had to learn quickly and work hard to become competitive due to the lack of experience,” Kelley said. “Riding a wave of solid of skills and knowledge of point control, Jacob Pfab was able to roll through the season with an unbeaten record of 10-0.” The ebb and flow of momentum for positions 2 – 6 allowed the Indians to always have a chance at winning with the exception of its match with Cosby, Kelley noted. “As one or two players gained momentum, the other teammates would lose it; throughout the season, no one knew where the major wins would come from. Adjusting to different styles of play is only gained through experience,” Kelley said. “Knowing what to do when you are evenly matched, better skilled or less skilled, comes through playing. “As the team learning curve progressed, the matches were closer. But acquiring how to play deuce, 30-40 and 40-30 points to win games remain
challenging as observed during the playoff match. Long hard fought games were consistently won by Eastern View players and Powhatan had no answers.” Eastern View won the team 5-1 to end the Indians’ team season, but the Cyclones’ sweep was prevented by Pfab. The junior secured his unbeaten team season by routing Eastern View’s No. 1 Bryce Johnson 6-0, 6-1. Despite the defeat in the match, two of Pfab’s teammates won games in their sets. James Frame won 6 in a 6-3, 6-3 setback to Joey Galvin and Kayden Rogers won 3 in a 6-0, 6-3 loss to Jack Fracher. Powhatan’s match with Eastern View was its third in four days this past week. The Indians opened the threematch stretch with a 6-3 triumph over Monacan last Monday. In singles, Pfab swept Alex Palczyski 6-0, 6-0, Frame won a 10-4 thirdset tiebreaker over Chris Counoupas after splitting the first sets 6-1 and 5-7, Rogers rout-
ed Chris Johnson 6-2 and 6-0 and Peter Rusin won a 10-4 third-set tiebreaker over Ajai Upadhyaya after splitting the first sets 3-6 and 6-3. In doubles, Pfab and Voorhees routed Howard and Palczyski 8-1, and Frame and Rusin edged past Counoupas and Upadhyaya 8-6. Powhatan played L.C. Bird last Tuesday in its regular-season finale. In the team’s 5-4 setback to the Skyhawks, Pfab swept Michael Singer 6-0, 6-0, Frame persevered in tight sets over Hunter McGrath 7-6, 7-5, Rusin powered past Cole Kieling 7-6, 6-2 and both Rusin and Frame in doubles edged past McGrath and Kieling 8-6. “For Powhatan next year the script will be flipped with all players returning except one,” Kelley said. “A summer, fall and winter of hard training should render better results.” According to Kelley, future seniors Frame and Rusin both said they “were excited about next season because we will get better.”

There were games in which we could have played better, but I never had to worry whether the team would give solid effort.

scored both goals for BSH. Hawkins’ teammate Kenny Hickey had the crucial assist to tie the game up late. Hawkins shared the goal-scoring lead with senior teammate Michael Timmons for this season. Hawkins, Timmons, senior Emily Smith and junior goalie Tyler Jenkins were the 2021 Knights’ captains. With no VISAA Division III tournament for soccer this year, the Knights’ season has ended. While they are losing two crucial players with captains Timmons and Smith graduating at the end of the school year, the Knights are projected to return the rest of the team. Winterrowd said they have a lot of experienced and talented players waiting for their chance, and he added that they saw a lot of
development from the players on the JV team, which went 1-2 this year and was coached by Josh Vaden. The Knights’ coaches are excited to incorporate them into their future varsity squads. “We have the potential to be a very strong team in our conference next season,” Winterrowd said. “That will be the goal that we work towards this offseason.” He praised both Smith and Timmons for their hard work and sacrifices for the team over the years. “They have been our leaders on and off the field and I am proud of the careers that they have had with BSH Soccer,” Winterrowd said. “I wish them the best of luck and I know that they will accomplish big things in the future, both on the soccer field and in life.”

home game, it felt like it came up really fast,” said Powhatan head coach Laura Camp. “But I’m excited for next week.” Junior Jordan Krauss led the way on Wednesday both in goals scored (5) and in assists (three). Powhatan’s players overall excelled at setting up their teammates for quick goals from the middle off of passes, and with the team connecting well, Krauss gave the team an added threat from behind the goal. At times she made the pass to an open teammate who scored immediately afterwards, and then in other moments when it looked like that would happen again, she instead turned on the jets, tore around the corner and flung the ball into the net. “Jordan is just an all-around fantastic player,” Camp said. “She has such a high lacrosse IQ. She always sees the pass. She’s patient, but yet she’ll take the opportunity to score when she has it. She’s just an all-around strong player.” Sophomore Sophie Payne had a big night as she tallied up 4 goals. “Sophie is quiet but effective. She has a really good lacrosse IQ when it comes to timing her cuts and seeing
well defensively, keeping RCS from scoring late. When looking back on the season, Poore said his biggest regret is that “I wish we had more time.” “We got better every game and ended the regular season with a big win,” Poore said. “I am so proud of my players; they had to deal with a lot more then just playing baseball. This entire year has been a teachable moment of sorts. They learned to deal with adversity and the

Pandemic need not prevent showing appreciation United States military personnel serve both domestically and abroad. Active-duty personnel are following in the footsteps of retired veterans and protecting the freedoms of their fellow Americans while also playing a vital role in protecting millions of non-Americans across the globe. United States military personnel make myriad sacrifices every day. Recognition of those sacrifices is just one of the many ways Americans can show their appreciation for the military, even during the era of social distancing. Help a veteran. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of
2019 there were 17.4 million military veterans living in the United States. More than half of those veterans are 65 or older. As difficult as social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic has proven for everyone, perhaps no group has sacrificed more than men and women over 65, millions of whom have been separated from their families. Aging men and women spent a year or more isolated at home to protect themselves from a virus that public health officials acknowledged was especially lethal to people over 65. Adults who want to show their appreciation for military veterans can reach out to local veterans’ or-
ganizations and offer to lend a hand. Such organizations may be delivering meals to vulnerable veterans, driving veterans to appointments to see their doctors or get vaccinated or organizing events for veterans who have already been vaccinated. Pitching in to help with such efforts is a great way to show veterans their efforts are still appreciated, even if it’s been decades since they last served. Help a military family. Data from the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense indicates that there were roughly 1.3 million active-duty military personnel in 2018. Many
of those service members serve overseas for months at a time. Their families back home can use a helping hand even in the best of times, but they might be especially needy while confronting the pandemic. Though vaccination projections suggest hundreds of millions of Americans will be fully vaccinated by mid-summer, in the meantime neighbors can help local military families handle life at home. Invite a local military family over for a weekly meal, offer to take kids to a sports practice if it’s safe to do so or help out with chores like mowing the lawn or washing the car.
Donate to charities that serve the military. Adults who have not been vaccinated and are hesitant to be around others can still show their appreciation for military service members. Various organizations help both active-duty military and veterans, and donating to such charities can be a great way to help an excellent cause. If you’re unsure about which organization to support, visit Charity Navigator at charitynavigator.org. Charity Navigator evaluates hundreds of thousands of charitable organizations and can be an invaluable resource for prospective donors. — MetroCreative

Day to honor the fallen dates back to Civil War
M
emorial Day is celebrated each May to commemorate the people who died in service of the United States of America. Even though barbecues and visions of the upcoming summer weather may command much of the attention come Memorial Day weekend, the holiday really serves as a remembrance for those military members who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country, as well as the personnel who continue to protect and serve today.
Memorial Day origins Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day and was borne out of the Civil War. on May 30, 1868, General John
Louis Cecil Urbine
Tom Vance
Logan, a national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, decreed General Order No. 11, which designated the day for the “purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.” May 30th was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle. It took several years for the first state to recognize the holiday, which New York adopted in 1873. By 1890, all northern states recognized Decoration Day. When the holiday changed from commemorating those who died fighting the Civil War to honoring Americans who

died fighting in any war after World War I, the South began to recognize it as well.
Honoring the military Although Memorial Day pays homage to the brave people who perished fighting for their country, it also is an opportunity to recognize the military men and women and their families who continue to work to ensure the freedom of Americans. The United States Armed Forces is renowned for its size and strength. Various sources suggest the size of the United States military is somewhere between 1.4 and 1.6 million active service people. The military is comprised of the Army, Army National Guard, Navy,

Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Each of these military branches also has its own reserves. There are many ways to honor active, reserve and former veterans, as well as those who died in service of their country.
Help to maintain the veteran area of a nearby cemetery. Place flags on all of the graves.
Help Veterans of Foreign Wars distribute red poppies as a visual reminder of the military’s efforts.
Educate children about past wars and the services the military provides.
Volunteer at a veterans’ hospital or visit a wounded veteran at home. Offer financial, legal or career expertise through the Corporation for National & Community Service (serve. gov).

Today’s flag features the original 13 alternating white and red stripes and 50 stars to represent the states of the Union. The colors of the flag signify as follows: red for hardiness and valor, white for purity and innocence, and blue for vigilance, perseverance and justice.
Flag has remained symbol of unity, pride National flags serve to unite citizens of a given country. Flags wave proudly in front of government buildings and schools, and they also identify athletes during international sporting competitions. In many countries, flags also serve as symbols of honor for members of the military and their families. For more than 200 years, the American flag has been a symbol of unity and pride in the United States. The red, white and blue flag has a storied history and has gone through various incarnations. The following are some of the more interesting facts pertaining to the American flag. Six different flag designs
were flown before Betsy Ross announced that she had sewn the official American flag. These designs included a series of alternating red and white stripes, the Liberty Tree, the Sons of Liberty, and the Forester flag designs. The Continental Army once used a flag featuring a snake with the mantra “Don’t Tread on Me.” On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress proposed and passed the Flag Act of 1777. This resolution was designed to facilitate the creation of an official flag for a nation that was aiming to earn its independence from Great Britain. The flag was to have thirteen stripes, alternating red
and white, with thirteen white stars on a blue field. The thirteen stars signified the original members of the Union. The American flag remained unchanged until 1795, when the stripes and stars were increased to 15 for the addition of Kentucky and Vermont to the Union. After seeing the new 15star and striped flag flying over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem that would eventually become the nation’s national anthem. A sea captain from Massachusetts named William Driver named a large, 10-foot-by17-foot flag “Old Glory” after it
survived multiple defacing attempts during the American Civil War. Driver’s nickname of the flag inspired the name to be used for all American flags. Although Flag Day was established as a formal national holiday in 1949, it was not made a federal holiday. Flag Day is only an official holiday in the state of Pennsylvania. This may be fitting because legend holds that Betsy Ross sewed the first flag in Pennsylvania. Today’s flag features the original 13 alternating white and red stripes (in 1818, another design went into effect, permanently setting the number of stripes at 13 in honor of the
original colonies) and 50 stars to represent the states of the Union. The colors of the flag signify as follows: red for hardiness and valor, white for purity and innocence, and blue for vigilance, perseverance and justice. The Color Association of the United States creates the palette of colors used for both private and public institutions and the U.S. Army. Mass-market flag manufacturers tend to use Pantone Matching Shade of Dark Red (193 C) and Navy Blue (281 C). The American Flag has been a fixture of the United States for centuries and continues to serve as a symbol of pride, valor and history. — MetroCreative
America’s freedom owed to all military branches The United States military is one of the most comprehensive, effective and respected armed forces in the world. Without the tireless commitment of military personnel – from the soldiers on the ground to the support staff behind the scenes – America could not be the world power it is today. Each branch of the U.S. are:
Navy Serving to protect the freedom of the seas, the Navy is an-
other branch of the military that reports directly to the Department of Defense. Among its many missions, the U.S. Navy serves to make the seas safe for travel and trade.
Air Force The Air Force also reports directly to the Department of Defense and trains for and maintains global superiority in air, space and cyberspace. Air Force personnel fly planes, helicopters and even satellites.
Marine Corps The Marine Corps is a component of the Department of the Navy. It carries out global missions on both sea and shore and serves as an expeditionary force. Marines are a rapid-reaction team and are usually the first boots on the ground in a conflict.
Coast Guard The Coast Guard safeguards maritime interests through both civil and military missions. The
Coast Guard operates around the world and in domestic waterways and ports.
National Guard The oldest branch of the U.S. military, the National Guard serves as a complementary force to active duty. Those in the National Guard are trained to be versatile, providing for humanitarian aid, domestic emergencies, combat missions, and homeland secu-
rity operations. The Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, Army Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve, and Navy Reserve are the other branches made up of servicemen and servicewomen who primarily work civilian jobs but may be called to full-time military duty. The Department of Defense controls each military branch, except for the Coast Guard, which is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security. — MetroCreative
Remembering those lost during attack on Pearl Harbor Every Dec. 7, the United States marks the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. This was a pivotal day in world history, ultimately leading the United States to enter the Second World War. Prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan participated in a series of invasions into China, believing the only way to solve its economic and demographic problems was to expand into China and take over its import market. This attitude helped create rising tension with the United States, and American officials ultimately responded with economic sanc-
tions and trade embargoes. Although it seemed war was inevitable, the Japanese preempted the American military with a surprise attack targeting Pearl Harbor, which is 2,000 miles from the U.S. mainland and 4,000 miles from Japan. Pearl Harbor is a U.S. naval base located near Honolulu, HI. On a Sunday morning on December 7, 1941, just before 8 a.m. local time, Japanese fighter planes descended on the base in a surprise attack. Five additional attacks followed throughout the day. The Japanese managed to destroy nearly 20 American naval vessels, which included eight bat-
tleships, and more than 300 airplanes. While the military equipment could ultimately be replaced, the more than 2,400 military personnel and civilians who died paid the ultimate price. It is believed the United States was especially surprised by the attack, as American military leaders felt, if an attack were to take place, it would come from the sea rather than the air. In addition, American intelligence officials were confident that any Japanese attack would take place in one of the European colonies in the South Pacific, such as Singapore or Indochina, which are clos-
er to Japan than Hawaii. Despite devastating Pearl Harbor, all hopes were not lost that day, and the Japanese could not cripple America’s Pacific Fleet. Aircraft carriers were not docked at the base, and the key onshore oil storage, shipyards, repair shops, and docks were left largely intact. From a functional standpoint, the U.S. Navy was able to quickly rebound. However, even eight decades years later, the residual emotional effects of the attack continue, particularly among WWII veterans, as well as the family members of those who perished.— MetroCreative
