The Powhatan County School Board recognized the important contributions of transportation employees and school support staff at its May 11 meeting.
The school board honored those individuals for building level awards of Support Staff of the Year as well as the transportation award of Bus Driver, Bus Assistant, and Mechanic of the Year.
The following staff members have been recognized by their school or department for their hard work and dedication to our students and the profession. Support Staff of Year 2020-21: Flat Rock Elementary, Veronica Sanders, secretary/bookkeeper; Powhatan Elementary, Angela Clarke, Mary Smith, and Donna (Lisa) Harris, Sodexo staff; Pocahontas Elementary, Amy Tucker, instructional assistant; Powhatan Middle, all support staff; and Powhatan High, Jarrod Lisker, computer technician. Bus Driver of the Year: David Funkhouser – There's a quote that “Being a school bus driver is not just a job, it's an adventure." Earlier this year, a PCPS driver encountered a situation that clearly illustrates this statement. In an unexpected encounter with wildlife on the bus, David Funkhouser’s professionalism as a driver was very apparent. Funkhouser maintained a calm, reassuring demeanor as he safely brought the bus to a stop to allow the surprise passenger to exit the bus. The professional manner in which he conducted himself in an unexpected event was an excellent example of how seriously Powhatan drivers take the safety of students they transport. Bus Assistant of the Year: Yvonne Howell – Although to some, Yvonne Howell may be a quiet presence, her impact on others is great. Described as helpful, caring, and reliable, it is no surprise that she is well loved by the students on the bus in which she serves as an aide. Sharing her wealth of experience to others as well as educating others on historical events, she positively impacts all those around her. Mechanic of the Year: Vincent Holman – While it is hard to single out one PCPS mechanic, Vincent Holman is this year's Mechanic of the Year. His professionalism and mechanical knowledge make him a great asset to PCPS transportation staff and students. As others, he has gone above and beyond this year, even fi lling in on bus routes that needed driver coverage.

tially expressed interest in the student vaccine and then more than 200 actually signed up.
“I fi gured that it would be a lot lower in the sense that parents would want to wait over the summer to determine if they wanted to get them vaccinated. I would have thought it would be lower but I am happy to see the number that we had that responded,” she said.
Ahead of the clinic, the division let families know what vaccine would be available for their children and the benefi ts of them being vaccinated in the coming school year beyond the overall health protection and the potential benefi t of moving the schools closer to a return to normal, she said.
“If they are vaccinated and they come in contact with someone who tests positive, they will not be required to miss time from sports or from other activities,” she said.
As a county employee, LaToya Turner of Powhatan had already been vaccinated at a countysponsored clinic that went well. She brought her son, 14-year-old Deric Cypress, to receive his vaccine after talking to him about it.
“I did ask him how he felt about it. In discussing it with him, we just felt the best alternative was to get it. The main thing was he felt comfortable getting it also,” she said.
Robin Duty of Powhatan brought her two sons, Matthew, 15, and William 16, to the clinic to receive their fi rst doses.

Joe Sposa, an ESS contractor, administers a Pfizer vaccine to Madeline Gordon, 15, while her dad Scott Gordon watches.
Although William was eligible earlier because of his age, the family waited until the teens could get them at the same time.
“They are both traveling for a national bowling tournament in Indianapolis, and I know that is sort of a hot spot right now for COVID. We wanted to make sure they were vaccinated,” she said.
Duty appreciated that the school division offered the clinic and said the whole process was easy. They also liked that the boys would receive the Pfi zer shot, which carried less worry about side effects for them. She added that having had a mild case of COVID-19 that still sidelined her for two weeks, she wanted to protect against it happening again for her or her family.
William said he felt safe getting the vaccine and wanted to be part of the solution of keeping more people from getting sick.
Scott Gordon of Powhatan said he and his wife, Tammy, were already vaccinated through their work with Cumberland County Public Schools and their oldest child had received both doses as well. They were waiting to hear that younger people could be vaccinated so their daughter, Madeline, 15, was eligible and were eager to bring her to the school division’s clinic.
“Madeline was the last one standing in our family who was not vaccinated, and we wanted to make sure that Madeline had the same opportunity to get the vaccination protection that the rest of us have. And she was actually eager to be vaccinated,” he said.
Madeline said she was a little scared but also excited because of the freedom of movement that is expected to come with more people being vaccinated. The rising sophomore said it will be nice next year to go to school not as worried about catching the virus.
Powhatan native returns to open law offi ce
Contributed Report
Powhatan families ready to plan for the future, dealing with a health crisis, or with questions about how to plan for and pay for long-term care can now get help from a familiar face.
Powhatan native Lelia (Palmore) Winget-Hernandez and her husband and law partner, Michael Winget-Hernandez, are announcing the opening of Commonwealth Life and Legacy Counsel in Powhatan Courthouse. Services include estate planning, powers of attorney, long-term care and Medicaid planning, probate and estate administration, and elder law. The fi rm also focuses on special needs planning for loved ones with disabilities who may need long-term support through a trust or other fi nancial strategies.
For Lelia, who was born locally and graduated from Powhatan High School, the new offi ce is an exciting homecoming. Many locals knew Lelia’s mother, Nancy Palmore, who was the librarian at Powhatan High School for more than 30 years.
“I’m so thankful for the chance to provide these important services to the community that raised me,” Lelia said. “Michael and I have seen that many rural communities have limited options for elder law and estate planning needs, and it was important to us to offer these services here in my hometown. Anyone who has known me for more than fi ve minutes knows that I love Powhatan.”
The fi rm offers free initial consultations to help prospective clients understand their legal situation and ways the fi rm could help in a confi dential and relaxed setting.
“Of course, we are litigators, but our goal is always to keep families out of court and out of confl ict,” said Michael. “High-quality, intentional estate planning today is the best way to prevent those painful legal confl icts in the future.”
Through their efforts and education, the couple has established themselves as a voice for senior advocacy. On May 24, Lelia moderated a panel discussion at the Virginia Governor’s Conference on Aging. The topic was “Challenges and Opportunities in Addressing Elder Abuse During the Pandemic.” The discussion featured state and local elder abuse investigators and a long-term care ombudsman explaining their roles and giving suggestions for professionals (and the general public) on how to prevent, detect, and report elder abuse.
The Powhatan offi ce is located in Suite C of the Richardson Harris Boatwright Building at 3829 Old Buckingham Road. It is the third location for Commonwealth Life and Legacy Counsel. Their other offi ces are located at Zion Crossroads (Fluvanna County) and Lake Anna (Louisa County). Lelia and Michael have recently been named fi nalists in the Louisa County Chamber of Commerce’s Businessperson of the Year recognition program, and the fi rm was previously voted the Readers’ Choice Best Law Firm by the readers of the Rural Virginian Newspaper.

Pfab wins regional singles championship
By Nick Vandeloecht
Sports Editor
MECHANICSVILLE – Every day, at least for two hours a day, Jacob Pfab has kept his game sharp on the tennis court. Even when it would rain, or when it was cold, he’d work out. He’d do sprints. He’d run cone drills. As Powhatan boys tennis’ head coach Lee Kelley put it, Pfab would make those calls to him, saying: “Hey coach, I need to put some time on the court.” And when it’s nice out, the Powhatan High School junior will play fi ve hours a day.
Those long sessions – and all the work he’s put in – came into play. Not long after he had played a three-set regional semifi nal doubles match that had lasted around 2 hours, Pfab’s ability to run down shots, cover the edge and slam powerful groundstrokes from baseline to baseline never wavered as he defeated Hanover opponent Ethan Belote 6-2, 6-0 to win the Class 4, Region B boys tennis singles championship.
“It feels good – all the work paid off,” said Pfab, who secured his fi rst regional title in singles. “Ethan’s a great player. It defi nitely wasn’t easy. I had to come out here and hit my shots. I didn’t take anything for granted.”
“It all paid off…practicing in the cold, running cone drills in the rain, it paid off,” Kelley said. “He deserves it – he defi nitely deserves it.”

POWHATAN -- From her storied coaching career – one that has spanned half a century and features 34 district championships, 21 state tournament appearances, two state runner-up fi nishes and fi ve state championships – Linda Farmer particularly remembers the players she coached across all of those years. She praised their dedication – their willingness to come out and work hard.
Their love for the game.
“Just great kids,” Farmer said. “We’ve been blessed with talent, but, more importantly than that, we’ve been blessed with good people, and that’s so important.”
On Wednesday, many of those former players came out to celebrate the 50 years that Coach Farmer has dedicated to coaching Powhatan softball.
“I can’t tell you what that meant to me. That was just an overwhelming day for me, it really was, just to know that softball has meant so much to them and that I possibly played a part in hopefully making them better people and certainly making them responsible citizens,” Coach Farmer said. “That’s been my goal all along, and it was overwhelming to see all of them come back today.”

Greenhow runs 21.31 for record
Staff Reports
Last July, Anthony Greenhow ran a blazing personal-record time of 21.31 seconds in the 200-meter dash during an electronically timed run on Powhatan High School’s track.
While that time - along with an incendiary 10.49 that Greenhow ran in the 100 dash on the same day - helped increase schools’ interest in him, it didn’t go down as a Powhatan High School record because it wasn’t run during an offi cial meet.
Nearly a year later, Greenhow made sure that it did.
Barreling past his competitors at a blistering pace through the corner and setting sail down the front straightaway on his home track, the Powhatan High School senior and University of South Carolina signee ran yet another 21.31 to take fi rst in the 200-meter dash during Powhatan High School’s Senior Day track and fi eld home meet, which was held Wednesday.

Powhatan’s Andrew Cheatham gets a lead off of first base in the Indians’ home finale versus L.C. Bird. Cheatham had a 3-run home run in the victory.
By Nick Vandeloecht
Sports Editor
POWHATAN -- As the rain picked up over the course of Wednesday’s home fi nale, home plate was fl ooded by Powhatan’s base runners in the bottom of the fourth as they poured in 9 runs in the frame alone to ensure a 15-4 victory over L.C. Bird via the 10run rule in fi ve innings.
“It’s great for the seniors,” said junior Chase Gayness, who added of the fourth inning: “It was a great momentum shift, so that defi nitely helped get the momentum in our favor. We just took it from there.”
Andrew Cheatham smashed a 3-run home run in the Indians’ 9-run frame, following up Thomas Robinson’s 2-run double. Also in the inning, Gayness walked in senior teammate Connor Woodel, senior Ben Allanson scored on a passed ball and Josh Boelt drove in Gayness and Andrew Shifl ett on a 2-run line-drive single to left fi eld.
L.C. Bird led 2-0 after the gameopening half-inning, but the Indians responded with 3 runs in the bottom of the fi rst. After Boelt scored on a base hit from Carter Dawson, Woodel, facing 2 outs, bounced the 3-2 pitch into play, and an error by the fi rst baseman not only enabled Woodel to reach base, but also allowed Cheatham and senior Stone Talley to score.
After the Skyhawks tied the game in the top of the third, Powhatan went ahead for good in the bottom half-inning when Robinson rushed home on an infi elder’s error. Woodel, who was up to bat when Robinson scored, plated Talley on an RBI triple for the insurance run. He would soon score off of a sacrifi ce at-bat by Allanson.
The Skyhawks scored a run in the top of the fi fth as the rain came down harder, but Gayness, who was the third pitcher to take the mound for Powhatan in the inning, persevered in the wet conditions. Facing one out when he took over, Gayness forced a fl yball to right fi elder Allanson, then struck out the last batter for the fi nal two outs of the game.
“It was tough,” Gayness said of pitching in the rain, “but: just do your job, throw strikes, get it done.”
Cheatham batted 1 for 1 with the 3-run homer and 2 runs scored.
Boelt batted 3 for 3 with 2 RBI and 2 runs scored. Woodel batted 1 for 2 with an RBI, 2 runs and a triple. He also got the win in 4 innings pitched, scattering six hits and 3 earned runs and striking out four. He walked no one in Wednesday’s win.
Robinson batted 2 for 4 with 2 RBI, 2 runs and a double.
Dawson batted 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored.
Talley batted 1 for 2 with 2 runs scored. Gayness took two walks, scored 2 runs and had an RBI.

Coach Farmer fi rst started coaching softball in the spring of 1972. She remembers how they used to have all of their games and all of their practices at Lonesome Oak Field near the Administration Building. Usually their run of the day consisted of going from home plate to the oak tree and back.
One of the many players that Farmer coached was Marie Crump, who fi rst played under Coach Farmer in her fi rst year of high school, graduated from Powhatan High School in 1976 and James Madison University in 1980 and became Powhatan’s head softball coach in 1981.
Coach Crump and Coach Farmer have been working side-by-side ever since, and along with the hundreds of players they have coached, they have built one of the most successful and storied softball programs in Virginia.
Earlier in the year, Powhatan High School senior and current varsity softball player Emmalee Lawson said she was always told that “if you were playing for Coach Crump and Coach Farmer, that you were blessed, because they’re some of the best coaches in Virginia, and have been for everyone to know.”
“It’s been great, and I wouldn’t want to coach with anybody else,” Coach Crump said. “It’s always special when you’ve been able to maintain the same coach, and I think that says a lot to the program, and I think that’s one reason we’ve had the success that we’ve had: just consistency.”
“She was a pretty incredible athlete herself,” Coach Farmer said of Coach Crump. “She loves the game just like all the other kids, but softball is just a very contagious sport.”
To Coach Farmer, one of the common traits shared by all of the different players who have come through the program over the past half-century has been their love of softball.
“Softball’s a great game, and I love it, and the kids loved it, and we just share that love,” Farmer said. “It’s just an incredible game.”
And you can tell, Coach Crump said, that Coach Farmer “loves the game, and she loves working with the players, and that’s what it’s all about.”
During the ceremony, the group of current and former players, administrators, teachers and coaches who came out to celebrate Coach Farmer’s 50 years of coaching stretched all the way across the lower diamond of Powhatan’s softball

fi eld from third base to fi rst.
With her players, both past and present, standing behind her, Coach Farmer gestured to them, emphasizing their role in Powhatan softball’s successes over the decades.
“They are the reason I’m here,” Farmer said. “A lot of people have asked me… ‘Why do you stay in coaching so long?’ And it’s because of them, because, every year, I say, ‘Well, maybe it’s time,’ and then a new group comes in and you say, ‘I can’t leave these kids hanging.’ You go right back to it.”
Softball has been a huge part of Coach Farmer’s life.
“I don’t know what I’d do without it...I’d get bored to death,” Farmer said with a laugh. “But hopefully I’ve had an infl uence on some of the kids’ lives and have helped make them better people and better citizens. That’s been my goal.”
PFAB
Continued from pg. 1B
After Belote won the fi rst game of the championship match and led 30-15 in the second, Pfab gained momentum with his serve. He went-ahead 40-30, then tied the set at 1 game apiece on both a groundstroke return from the baseline and a powerful fi rst serve, both of which Belote hit into the net.
Pfab set the tone in the third game when he stayed on the run in a wild rally before delivering a clear winner down the right set while in transition for the fi rst point. He took a 30-15 lead when Belote netted Pfab’s backhand return, then held out for the break point and a 2-1 lead after Belote double-faulted twice.
Pfab in the fourth game rallied from an advantage-out point with the help of another fi ery fi rst serve and won the game for a 3-1 lead thanks to another backhand return.
Belote swept the fi fth game to trail 3-2, but Pfab rallied from a 30-15 defi cit to win his next game while serving, then broke Belote’s serve again on straight points to lead 5-2.
That seventh game featured one of the points that saw Pfab draw Belote to the net on a drop shot, catch hold of Belote’s return shot and drive the winner past Belote and into clear court.
“Sometimes you’re just guessing, but sometimes you can see a little fl icker in his eye,” Pfab said. “You can just see, ‘Oh, he’s going to my backhand,’ so you step over there, but sometimes it’s just guessing.”
“Again, it’s all based on practice,” Kelley said. “If you have a plan, you execute that plan, you get the results that you need…and the intensity of executing that plan will be the results, and you could see it.”
Pfab won a similar point to open the eighth game of the fi rst set with a 15-0 lead, then went up 40-0 after quickly covering the left edge on a powerful return shot from Belote for his second, and also after seeing Belote hit out one of Pfab’s fi rst serves.
Pfab bounced back from a doublefault to deliver a winner on a low re-

turn shot and take the fi rst-to-6 set in eight games.
The fi rst set was a matter of patience, Kelley pointed out.
“He knows and I know that the fi rst four games of any match pretty much determines the momentum,” Kelley said. “He rode it out. That was it. The tidal wave happened.”
Pfab bounced back from a 40-15 defi cit in the fi rst game of the second set to break Belote’s serve when he ran down a shot, then responded to Belote’s return stroke with a volley that Belote hit out.
From there, Pfab seized the momentum and rolled out to a 3-0 lead with the help of quick defending and powerful groundstrokes. He also persevered in an 18-point fourth game while serving, and he put away the sixth and fi nal game of the set and the match with a winner down the right side.
Pfab had reached Thursday’s Region 4B fi nal by winning two tournament matches in singles the day before. In the fi rst round he won 6-0, 6-0 over Mechanicsville’s Preston Edmonds, whom Pfab earlier this year had defeated via a tiebreaker in a USTA Juniors tournament. Kelley noted that, “through hundreds of hours of training and playing some of the top area players, Jacob was able to take his game to another level.”
Pfab broke his opponent’s serve in the fi rst game of the fi rst set and won most rallies throughout the match. Edmonds put up a fi erce battle in the fourth game, but the constant pressure of Pfab’s serve won out, and Pfab took the fourth game en route to sweeping the set.
Pfab remained resilient in spite of what Kelley said were some excellent rallies from Edmonds to deliver a 6-0 second set, adding two service winners and two bounding rallies to Edmonds’ backhand in the closing stretch.
In the regional semifi nals, Pfab rallied out of a 3-1 defi cit to overtake Courtland’s Matthew Leonard 7-5 in the fi rst set and then close out the match with a 6-0 run in the second to advance to the fi nal. The second set was all Pfab’s set, said Kelley, who pointed to his serves fi nding their mark, his unreturnable forehand and footwork that helped Pfab chase down all of Leonard’s best shots.
In the Class 4, Region B boys tennis doubles tournament Pfab and his partner Jimmy Frame also stunned the No. 1 seed of Leonard and Gabe Avelino from Courtland to reach the semifi nals.
Powhatan was the fi rst to strike, and surprised everyone with a 4-1 lead.
Playing off each other’s shot placements and court coverage, the Powhatan duo won the fi rst set with Pfab serving it out to ensure the 6-3 set win.
Courtland didn’t surrender. Helped by strong shot making, Leonard and Avelino broke Pfab’s serve to go-ahead 3-1 and then held serve for a 4-1 secondset lead.
But Frame in the next game held serve, and his and Pfab’s net play and hand speed started taking over. Aided by key volley exchanges at the net, Pfab and Frame earned the points they needed to get back into the match. They broke Avelino’s serve, and then Pfab held serve to tie the match at 4-all.
Leonard was serving for a 5-4 lead with his fans coming alive, but strong communication and courageous play gave Powhatan the break point, with Frame serving in the next game.
Courtland rallied to force deuce, but Frame delivered a service winner, and a reaction shot that landed deep into the corner helped secure the 6-4 second set and match win for Powhatan.
Frame and Pfab’s run in doubles, however, would end the next day in the semifi nals against Mechanicsville’s Edmonds and Matthew Lavinder, who eventually fi nished the tournament as regional runners-up. Frame and Pfab fended off the duo to win the fi rst set 6-4, but Edmonds and Lavinder won both the second and third sets 6-2 and 6-3.
Pfab will play his Class 4 state semifi nal match on Friday, June 11 at Huntington Park in Newport News at 10 a.m.
Pfab plans on going into that match with a winning mindset.
“You’ve got to be confi dent when you’re out here,” Pfab said. “You’ve just got to be confi dent and you’ve got to play your game. Sometimes it’s all you can do. If you lose, so what? At least you played your game.”
Staff Reports
In its fi nal week of the 2021 campaign, Powhatan showed the improvement it made over the course of the season when it blanked L.C. Bird 3-0 for its second shutout win of the season and its third overall.
Following a seasonending 3-0 loss to Cosby - another improvement from when Powhatan lost 5-0 in its opener - the Indians will look to continue to grow under secondyear head coach Willie Miles, who was also taking on his fi rst regular season at the helm after COVID-19 cut the 2020 season short.
“The two biggest signs of improvements that I have seen since our second game of the year to (our) ninth game when we played the Skyhawks and other opponents within our squad has been the more consistent play with our back line and the progression of moving the ball confi dently in the fi nal third more,” Miles said. “Within our backline, it took some shuffl ing around within our personnel to get a sound unit that clicks in unity.”
And they’ve made life a little easier for their sophomore keeper, Tucker Thomas, to operate and allow them to not have to defend constantly, Miles added.
“Within our attacking methods, we have progressed well into diversifying our approach against these teams,” Miles said. “We have also played it more to our playmakers in the middle and have allowed them more freedom to create chances. That has been evident in our past three contests and I am confi dent to see that same mindset moving forward.”
In the victory over the Skyhawks, Fischer Daniel put the Indians on the scoreboard with a goal off of an assist from Parker Sloan. Senior captain Zach Shelor netted the insurance goal on a penalty kick set up by Colton Hiatt, and Connor Nickerson added goal no. 3, with Daniel making the assist on Nickerson’s goal.
“Even though it took longer than expected, we fi nally put most of what we have been trying to achieve as a team together with the principles that we emphasized in this game from start to fi nish,” Miles said. “We created over six realistic chances at goal in the fi rst 10 minutes of the game and at least fi nished one into the back of the net.
“Of course, we want to score as many goals as we can, but it was awesome seeing the guys put the pressure on the opposition to battle back instead of us having to come from behind like we have done in previous contests,” Miles said. “From there, it went relatively smoothly the rest of the game.”
The biggest boost, Miles added, was having Shelor, back in the mix after he was out due to injury.
“He brought that needed energy back into our team, especially with our attacking presence in the central midfi eld,” Miles said. “I am happy he was able to contribute effectively like he has done in the past over three years. We will miss him and the other seniors greatly next year.”
As a young team in age and varsity experience, they knew there were going to be multiple learning moments throughout the entire year, Miles said. And after Miles got to see the concepts that their new Dominion District opponents threw at them, he’s ready to implement an effective offseason initiative across the board to get the program ready for the 2022 campaign.

Indians became 2nd team in 2021 to score on Cosby
By Nick Vandeloecht
Sports Editor
POWHATAN -- Cosby’s girls soccer team not only went into Thursday’s match at Powhatan High School on an unbeaten record, but it had only given up goals – two total – to just one team this season: James River.
Seconds before the end of the fi rst half, Powhatan became the second team to score on this year’s Titans.
Taking hold of a free kick, Bella Russell smashed it in an upward trajectory, and Cosby’s goalie got an outstretched hand on it.
She defl ected the ball higher and into the topshelf netting behind her, propelling the Indians into a 1-0 lead.
Ultimately, the stunner would not happen. Ella Knight hit a game-tying goal 12 minutes inside the second half, and Abbey Muir notched the goahead shot with 5:30 to play, ultimately pushing Cosby past Powhatan 2-1 and keeping the Titans undefeated going into the playoffs.
But the result didn’t keep Powhatan’s season fi nale from being a strong end to the very young team’s strong debut in the formidable Dominion District.
For both senior captains Sarah Amiss and Sarah McFadden, it was a season to remember.
“I’m just really glad we were able to play this year,” said McFadden, who had come back from an injury to contribute to Powhatan’s standout showing in its fi nale. “It’s been incredible. I’ve been on this team for four years, fi ve years now. I’m just happy to be here.”
“I think everyone left it on the fi eld, and this was defi nitely the best team I could ask for, and Sarah could say the same for our senior year,” Amiss said. “We really went out with a bang.”
“This was defi nitely our season,” McFadden said. “I’m really happy with how it went down.”
In its challenging district, Powhatan’s young team – featuring at least eight sophomores and fi ve freshmen – swept James River 2-1 and 1-0, defeated Clover Hill 3-1 and blanked both L.C. Bird 10-0 and Manchester 5-0. Three of the Indians’ fi ve losses were by 1 goal, including two narrow 2-1 setbacks to Region 4B opponent Monacan.
When it came to challenging Cosby in Thursday’s home match, McFadden was really happy with how they played the Titans.
“Especially being a young team…we’ve improved so much,” McFadden said.
To Amiss, everyone was there for the team.
“And there were so many bonds created,” Amiss said, “and I defi nitely think this is the tightest team we ever had.”
“I’m just happy to be connected,” McFadden said. “I don’t even care how the score went down. I made so many good friends here. I’m really happy with how we connected. It’s amazing.”
Powhatan head coach Jared Rottmund praised this year’s senior leadership, calling it phenomenal.
“These ladies stepped up with the most ninth graders – I mean it was a young, young team,” Rottmund said, “and these ladies made just everything fun…they will be missed.”
“It was such a great opportunity to take them under our wings,” Amiss said.
“I feel like they have so much experience now just from where we started (to) where we are now,” McFadden said.
“I can’t wait to come home and see what they’re doing,” Amiss said of their younger teammates. “It’s going to be great.”

Gardening: In search of the lost Umami
By Virginia McCown
Special to the Powhatan Today
In Japanese, umami means “essence of deliciousness” and is sometimes referred to as the “fi fth taste.” The umami sensation challenges the defi nitions of sweet, sour, salty and bitter.
In my little world of tomato gardening, umami remains elusive. Heirloom tomatoes are still the best when it comes to taste and substance, but they are often diffi cult to grow. I confess I love the taste of ‘Cherokee Purple.’ Yet, at the end of each season, I vow, “Never again!” For all the bother growing a ‘Cherokee Purple’ tomato plant, I still plant one every season. If I’m lucky I’ll get six acceptable eating tomatoes a year. What’s left is fed to my chickens.
‘Cherokee Purple,’ like many heirloom varieties, is subject to every disease our Central Virginia summers throw at it. It’s why we don’t see heirloom tomatoes in grocery stores. Big growers and suppliers fi nd that growing heirlooms simply isn’t worth the bother.
Don’t get me wrong. I love the heirlooms, truly I do. But if you’re looking to prepare, can or preserve your own salsa or sauce, they’re simply unreliable. Do you want plenty of plump, fresh tomatoes? My advice is to grow hybrid disease resistant varieties.
Yet…… could some umami be better than no umami?
Darn straight.
Odd-sounding names such as ‘Box Car Willie,’ ‘Aunt Ruby’s German Green,’ ‘Mortgage Lifter,’ and ‘Costoluto Genovese’ are only a few old heirlooms available to grow from seed. Each has its own interesting history.
“My favorite large heirloom is still ‘Barnes Mountain Orange,’” says Edmund Frost of Common Wealth Seed Growers in Louisa County (www.commonwealthseeds.com). “It tastes really good, is beautiful, and cracks less than other large heirlooms.”
“I also liked ‘Arkansas Traveler’ a basic small to medium round pink salad tomato,” Frost continued. “It’s productive, tastes good and doesn’t split.” He also recommended ‘Ruthje,’ a cherry tomato, and the light yellow-colored ‘Garden Peach.’
Imagine a warm summer’s day nibbling on heirloom slices with a little salt and some freshly ground pepper – or chowing down a squishy tomato sandwich prepared with homemade mayonnaise… Mmm…..mmm… mmm…. Umami!
Tomato Growing 101
Even if your harvest is small, your own home grown tomatoes are a reward in and of themselves. Success means choosing varieties that are a good fi t for Central Virginia’s hot, humid summers.
What characteristics are you looking for?
Do you live in an apartment, a townhouse or a larger suburban or rural site? Let’s discuss some basics.

ccarter@harrismechanical.com (804)264-2229 8816BrookRoad GlenAllen,VA23060 Determinate v. indeterminate
Determinate tomato varieties tend to be shorter and bushier. Most ripen at about the same time. Determinate varieties are handy if canning salsa or sauce is your end goal. Indeterminate varieties tend to be taller and more sprawling or vining in nature. They don’t ripen all at once. Their harvest is spread out over the season.
Midget, patio or dwarf
These are varieties with compact vines best grown in containers. They are primarily cherry or salad size tomatoes. Although small, these are hardy plants with a lot of natural disease resistance. Two plants will provide a family of four with tomatoes all season. Of the heirlooms cherry-size tomatoes are the hardiest.
Fruit Characteristics
Yes, tomatoes are a fruit and not a vegetable. This fruit comes in many sizes and qualities.
Cherry
Cherry tomato plants range from dwarf (Tiny Tim) to plants that grow to more than 17 feet (Sweet 100)
Beefsteak
These are the large tomatoes that easily fi t on a single hamburger patty. One Beefsteak tomato can weigh up to two pounds or more!
Paste
These are the plum or pear-shaped fruits with very meaty interiors. The seeds are centralized within the core of the fruit so paste tomatoes are ideal for making salsa or pasta sauce. Some varieties hail originally from Sicily and volcanic regions where the soil is said to infl uence the taste.
METRO CREATIVE
Growing:
Site size
Make sure your planting site is sunny. Tomatoes grow well in 5-gallon buckets, raised beds or directly in the ground. Each plant needs plenty of room – at least 6 square feet per plant. If this is impossible to accomplish, remember that the main goal is to keep the plants’ leaves aerated. Aggressive weekly pruning will be necessary if you chose to grow your tomatoes close together.
Soil
Tomatoes prefer loose soil with a pH of 6 or 7. Add a handful of bone meal or some calcium to the soil when transplanting outside. Extra calcium early at the beginning of the growing season will help eliminate blossom-end rot later on. Calcium can be found in composted chicken manure, Epsom salts, and even human over-the-counter calcium supplements.
Moisture
Water steadily and evenly. Individual plants require at least a gallon of water per week. Drought can slow plant growth. An excess of water after a dry spell or drought can cause individual fruits to crack.
Support
Plants should be staked or caged. Trellising between tall, strong poles is another method. A heavy-duty twine weaved between the poles acts as a very effective support.
Whatever tomato variety you choose, have fun growing it. For more information including directions on growing tomatoes from seed, consult Virginia Cooperative Extension publication 426-418, “Tomatoes,” and “Vegetables Recommended for Virginia,” publication 426-480.
