Free Clinic of Powhatan now fully operational By Laura McFarland
Moslow gave a tour to State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield, and Del. Lee Ware, R-65, in an effort to demonstrate the value of the Free Clinic and what it can offer the public with its new expanded operation. Four supervisors – Chair Karin Carmack, David Williams, Mike Byerly, and Bill Cox – also attended the event, although they had already seen the new facilities. “I think it is important for them to physically see it, because the Virginia Association of Free Clinics asks money every year from the General Assembly… So the purpose was also to make them aware of some of the needs of the people. And we talked about that as we were going through the rooms – what our patients need,” Moslow said. Moslow spoke about how powerful it is for their clients to come into a space like the clinic’s new location on Skaggs Road. The high quality facility says to

OWHATAN – State and local officials recently came together in a small reception meant to showcase the Free Clinic of Powhatan’s new location, which is now fully operational. During a reception on Tuesday, June 15, Executive Director Connie Moslow showed off the facility, which opened in March but only reached its full capabilities this month with the official opening of the dental clinic. The clinic saw its first patients in its dental unit on May 27 and has been going full speed ever since, seeing 27 people in the dental clinic’s first three days in operation, Moslow said. With dental services now being offered in-house, Moslow was excited that she could show off the Free Clinic’s full potential to several visiting legislators.

Drexel-Morrell Center awarded two grants Staff Report The Drexel-Morrell Center, a living museum of land and story, has received two major grant awards for its new eco-social justice site in Powhatan County. On Thursday, June 10, two major awards were approved through the stewardship of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for permanently preserving 56 acres of land and its two historic buildings in Powhatan. The corner of Bell, Cartersville and Cosby roads will permanently become the site for a new living museum of land and story, environment and history, a place for quiet enjoyment and well-being, and a place to nurture and grow eco-so-
cial justice. The nonprofit owner of the land is Belmead on the James Inc. (BOJI), also now known as the DrexelMorrell Center, said Sister Maureen T. Carroll, executive director of the organization. This nonprofit group has taken on the mission, vision, and responsibility of providing for and developing this site as a place of story, environment, and community enrichment “unto the 7th Generation.” Since its beginning in 2016, BOJI has received $295,600 in support from individual community and alumni donors.

Lions Club decides not to hold 2021 Labor Day Parade By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Lions Club recently announced that it would not host the annual Labor Day Parade in September. Unlike 2020, when the parade was canceled because of COVID-19, the local civic organization decided at its June meeting not to hold the parade in 2021 because it was already stretched too thin on manpower at that time of year, said Mike Jones, membership chair. Previously, the Lions Club hosted the parade from 2012 to 2019.
The club, which supports numerous local charities, is already planning three events that happen in the space of about a month in September and October that involve the majority of members, Jones said. It is planning a White Cane Day in September to collect donations in the community; will drive golf carts at the Powhatan Festival of the Grape on Oct. 2, and will hold its annual golf tournament, which has been delayed, on Oct. 6. “That is three events with almost the whole membership in a 35-day period,” Jones said. The parade itself takes months of planning and 35 to 40 members to set it
up, run it, and clean up afterward, he said. “It was really good for the county and good for the club for exposure. But it literally took at least 1,000 man hours to plan it and run it. You had to meet so many times. You had to figure out the line up to make sure one political party wasn’t near another political party and logistics like that,” he said. If another group or groups is interested in taking on the task of planning the parade instead, Jones said the Lions Club would be able to share its knowledge to help the process. “It would be nice if somebody did it,” he said.

Board of supervisors examines issue of land use By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – There was an element of déjà vu to the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ second workshop focused on the long-range comprehensive plan as members once again butted heads on how to approach the update. Within minutes of starting the workshop on Wednesday, June 16, Chair Karin Carmack, who represents District 5, and Bill Cox, District 4, were at loggerheads on where to begin. As they had a week earlier, the friction eventually eased and the supervisors were able to have some discussion on the topics, if not always a resolution. The focus of the board’s second workshop stayed in the chapter in the comprehensive plan on Land Use and Community Character. But even within that discussion, the board struggled to find a clear direction. Early in the meeting, Cox brought up data that detailed how many new homes and potential students the county could see if the 5% of Powhatan in designated growth areas on the Countywide Future Land Use Map were developed to their maximum potential. It would represent 11,968 homes at the maximum amount, which he conceded the county would never achieve, but it calls on the supervisors to answer the question of whether Powhatan could fiscally sustain the kind of growth the draft of the plan would currently allow, he said. However, other supervisors pushed back on the argument, saying they haven’t come to any kind of agreement on the land use designations and what kind of densities they will allow, so projecting those figures was premature. Carmack pointed out that the board members have agreed they don’t want apartments on Anderson Highway. However, they haven’t agreed on several other key factors that would impact densities. She tried to get the board to look at what they can agree on to generate collaboration and start looking at the land use designations and their allowed densities. Tom Perry, District 2, said Cox’s approach was looking at the worst case scenarios and getting bogged down in the details before they can agree on a big picture.

Contributed Report Each year a senior is chosen to serve as the Powhatan County School Board student liaison through an application process. This year, two seniors, Olivia Mack and Maddie Ferguson, were selected to present information to the school board at the monthly regular meetings to share events, needs, and any issues that are occurring at the high school level. Mack enjoyed playing saxophone in band, reading, and swimming. She was involved in the Powhatan High School Wind Symphony, Jazz Band, Marching Band, and Show Band. She was a member of the senior Advanced College Academy cohort, and is involved with the Old Powhatan Baptist Church Youth Group. After high school she would like to attend the United States Naval Academy and have a nacost for farmers to install conservation practices to reduce erosion and nutrient runoff to improve water quality. This funding will implement approximately 144 separate conservation practices in Goochland and Powhatan counties. These practices included converting erosive cropland to permanent grassland, installing fencing and excluding livestock access and waste from streams, continuous no-till cultivation of crops, and several new practices to more efficiently use and prevent runoff in the application of nitrogen and phosphorous from cropland. The grant of funds from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for this program is the largest amount of funding the Monacan District has received in the last ten years. There are still funds available to assist other farmers and landowners with installing additional practices. For information, contact the Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District at 804556-4936.

Volunteer dentists and hygienists are needed to staff the expanded dental services that will be available when the Free Clinic of Powhatan moves into its new location after the New Year. Providers can volunteer as little as once a month or more frequently. Coverage initially needed one morning or one late afternoon/early evening. However times are flexible and can change based on provider availability. Consider joining the dedicated group of volunteers who help keep Powhatan residents healthy in mind, body and spirit. Contact Connie Moslow at 804-379-6484. The Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District has approved approximately $260,000 dollars of funding to area farmers and landowners. The funding is from the Virginia Agricultural Cost Share Program (VACS). The purpose of this funding is to cover a portion of the
dors. It is for detached single-family residential and small-scale services and rural-oriented commercial businesses. There are a limited number of areas where this has been utilized in the county. Carmack said it has potential and was in favor of giving it five more years to see if it could be an asset to the county. Neighborhood Residential – This designation would consist of housing with detached single-family residential and two-to four-family residential options as well as limited commercial uses, according to the plan. However, a few members seemed in favor of taking out the option to have commercial uses. Once the board started looking at the areas where this designation was used on the land use map, they saw those areas were mostly developed at or close to their full potential, so they got into a discussion about how useful the designation was at all. The talk about neighborhoods also got into the subject of allowing residential hookups to the county’s water system. The county currently subsidizes this system by about $2.2 million every year, and Carmack pointed out that the commercial development to reduce that burden on taxpayers has not materialized. The meeting also had three people speak during the public comment period. Max Timberlake Jr. talked about the efforts to build up the Powhatan Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee and the recommendations the group has already made to help the board with the sections of the comprehensive plan that deal with natural resources. He also said the board should not have any references to solar “farms” in the plan but should choose a more appropriate word to what it would be describing. Stephen Barham talked about the frustration of seeing the comprehensive plan hashed out again and residents having to make clear to elected officials all over again that they do not want high density or multiuse housing. He pointed out that the county has what affordable housing it needs, and those that people who want to live in Powhatan should be willing to work to get to that point. Glenn Crawford talked about the feasibility of conservation subdivisions and who owns them and would be paying taxes on them.

Mike Byerly, District 3, said the level of detail discussed in the first week and what had already happened in the current meeting should have happened among the planning commission members, followed by presentations to the supervisors. David Williams, District 1, suggested the board go through the land use designations and possibly, as each one is discussed, look at what the impact might be based on whatever housing density is allowed. So at about 50 minutes into the roughly two and a half hour meeting, the board started talking about the land use designations, getting through five of them – Public, Natural Conservation, Rural Areas, Crossroads, and Neighborhood Residential – by the end of the meeting. Public – The only key discussion point about the Public land use designation, which is where you would find government offices, public utilities/facilities, or public parks, was about how it was not represented on previous maps. There are no recommended residential densities in this designation. Natural Conservation – This designation is mainly for areas such as woodlands/forests, wetlands, retreats, camps, and nature trails and does not have a recommended residential density. These areas fall in the rural areas, which can be developed, but are more of an overlay within those areas where the county doesn’t want to see development. Rural Areas – This designation, which makes up almost 80% of the county, is for agriculture and agriculture-related uses and detached single-family residential uses in conservation subdivisions or large-lot design. The supervisors got into a discussion about whether they were comfortable getting rid of the Rural Residenital-5 (RR5) land designation. The planning commission’s draft recommended combining RR5 with Rural Preservation to just have Rural Areas. They discussed whether they want to encourage conservation subdivisions and how feasible they are for Powhatan. They also talked about the level of visibility from the road they would want to allow with new subdivisions.

had truly come to adore. Powhatan High School started its first Firefighter I and II certification courses when Cochran was a sophomore and only 15, so he was too young to enroll. The second year the program was offered, his name was on the list, and, if possible, he fell even deeper in love with his chosen field. Then in his senior year, he earned his EMT certification through a course run by the county on nights and weekends. So when Cochran, now 18, graduated from Powhatan High School in May with an offer in hand to become a career firefighter/EMT in Augusta County, he was understandably over the moon with excitement. He worked his first shift last week. But best of all for
Powhatan, Cochran intends to continue to live in the county for now and volunteer with Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department (Company 2) in his spare time. “I love this county, I love this community, and I love this station, and I don’t want to leave any of that. I have so many friends within the department that I just don’t want to leave that,” he said. Leon Sydnor, PHS Firefighter 1 and 2 instructor, said Cochran’s success is an excellent example of how the JET and high school programs are supposed to work. The young man is the first career firefighter to come out of the high school program, which falls under its career and technical education (CTE) program. When Cochran shared the news about being hired by Augusta, Sydnor

was shocked – not for lack of confidence in the young firefighter but because he knows the competition the recent high school graduate must have been up against. “It is a tough market to get hired in. It can vary from 100 people to 3,000 people applying for six to 10 positions. For an 18-year-old man to go in there and get the job like that was pretty impressive,” Sydnor said. “I think it took the desire to want to do the job and get out and get his hands dirty and feel the difference it makes in someone’s life. It is not always a save but you made a difference in someone’s life by treating them with respect.” Starting young The JET program lets students between the ages of 12 to 15 have firsthand experience with the different first responder positions. The program builds self-esteem and teamwork skills with the students by teaching them to come together and work as a team to accomplish a mission. The youth and their instructors meet once a month at the different firehouses and the rescue squad building within Powhatan and are taught skills that are directly related to the first responders’ real life tasks. Some of the skills they learn are basic first aid, backboarding, wildland fire, forcible entry, and vehicle extraction. Jamie Timberlake, who helped start the program, said Cochran has been driven to succeed
since he joined the first group of JETs in 2015. In the more than three years he was with the program, Cochran was the leader of the Junior EMS competition team that placed third at the state competition and served as a lieutenant, assistant chief, and chief of the JETs. “From his ‘beetle cricket’ stories for entertainment on the long bus trips to the late nights in my basement studying for the EMS competition, Tyler gives 110% of his heart to learn the skills and serve those around him,” Timberlake said. Powhatan Fire and Rescue Chief Phil Warner recalled when Cochran started with the JET program and the passion he had for firefighting. That kind of passion made him stand out in a crowd. He was pleased to see Cochran catch the firefighting bug and pursue the state certification through the high school course. The fact that he could work hard and graduate with a marketable skill that allowed him to enter a career straight out of high school is amazing. “He is one of these young men who had a goal. He was tenacious enough to go after it, stick with it, and prepare for it,” Warner said. “He made it clear several years ago when he started volunteering at Company 2 as a 16-year-old that this was what he wanted to do for a living. It shows he had that drive, and it should inspire other JETs and junior firefighters to do the same thing.”

Willing to work It wasn’t that Cochran was a perfect firefighter from the beginning; it was that he had the drive to always work at being better, Sydnor said. He admits the youth wasn’t the best student when he first started the high school course, but by midyear he was growing to be one of the strongest in an already strong year of students. “Tyler came in as a 65% firefighter, about halfway through he was 95% firefighter, and at the end he was a 110% firefighter,” Sydnor said. “It is that desire and that feeling he developed to learn how much more fun it could be and what opportunities are out there in the world. He got motivated and decided he wanted to do it.” Sydnor hopes the class at the high school will have long-lasting effects. Two members in the first high school class and seven from the second are still active volunteers as well as four from the most recent class, which is still working on certification. As soon as Cochran turned 16, he put in an application at Company 2 to become an active member. A week after he was voted in, he went on his first call - a simple lift assist that he still found an amazing experience. “I stayed glued here the whole time I was in the class. We did something in class and I would come back here and do it. We would throw ladders in class and I would come back here and do it,” Cochran said during the interview, which happened

at the station. Throughout the interview, Cochran talked about how much he appreciated all of the men and women who helped him learn and grow as both a firefighter and a person, especially everyone at Company 2. “Being in this department builds more than just a relationship inside the fire house, it builds one outside the fire house. This department has played a huge role in getting me to where I am today – in getting me to the point where I was eligible to become an Augusta County firefighter,” Cochran said. John Menc, a career firefighter/medic, mentored him by running drills with him at the station, going for meals together, or simply sitting down to talk. Menc said one of the main things about Cochran he noticed at first was how he was extremely engaged and asked thoughtful questions. He knew immediately the youth was driven and wanted a plan to succeed. “I told him, ‘I recognize that look in your eye, and I remember being there myself and being so hungry to have a professional job in this field.’ I gave him everything I knew about what he needs to do to make sure that happens,” Menc said. “I told Tyler, ‘Even if you don’t have this job, you have a job. Somebody is going to pick you up. Somebody is going to recognize you are different.’ ” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

The historic Rosemont House, which was built by William Sturdivant Taylor, is now the home of the Drexel-Morrell Center.
Her grandmother worked at St. Emma School for African American boys, and her great-greatgrandfather, William Sturdivant Taylor, was a builder of the historic Rosemont House, now the home of the Drexel-Morrell Center. “Those before him were slaves, and I’m looking forward to learning more about their stories. I recently had a chance to tour Rosemont, and it was awe-inspiring. I am excited to see the Drexel-Morrell Center take shape! The opportunity to go beyond the textbook to learn history will be valuable for both students and adults,” Floyd said. Other descendants shared the impact of having William Sturdivant Taylor and his legacy honored. His great-granddaughter, Lisa Lacy, said she is happy the center will keep an important part of Powhatan and American histo-
ry alive. “I believe the contributions of my family members, the Taylors, Morrises, and Bells, (are) a history that needs to be shared to encourage and inspire,” she said. Damita Pridgen said her greatgrandfather’s contributions and employment at Belmead are part of American history. “Through oral history, I have learned of his legacy of strength, perseverance, talent and faithfulness. I believe the Drexel-Morrell Center is the vehicle to preserve the living history… Like the richness of Powhatan’s red soil, it should enlighten not only Powhatan residents, but the country,” she said. Maria Cosby of Powhatan, Taylor’s granddaughter, summed up the Drexel-Morrell Center nicely as an awesome historical place with “endless possibilities.”

Solar energy is generated through solar panels that collect energy from sunlight and can even be accomplished during overcast weather. The collected energy can then be stored using deep cycle batteries, which are attached to your solar energy system. This excess energy can be used when it is dark or dull outside. However, in order to have the optimum solar performance, you should live in a geographical area, which receives a good quantity of sunlight regularly.

patients that not only will they receive quality care but they are valued, regardless of their situation. “They are supposed to feel comfortable here. This is their building,” she said. To see such an extraordinarily capacious place that allows volunteers and staff to have designated offices and spaces and patients to have plenty of room and privacy in the parts of the clinic they are visiting is wonderful, Ware said. He credited Moslow’s leadership and the hard work of so many people for how dedicated they are to serving the people in Powhatan who need help the most. When Ware was a Powhatan supervisor, he also served on the board for the department of social services. He remembers hearing the stories of local residents with major needs in housing, food, and medical care. “The Free Clinic didn’t exist when I was on the board of supervisors. It fills a gap that has been there for a long time that churches and volunteers worked at, but Connie and her cadre have made this the place that

When the first event was held in January, it was limited by COVID restrictions to 1,000 people, said Melinda Hitt, who organized the event with her husband, Corey Hitt. This year, there won’t be a restriction on attendance, so she is hoping for a huge turnout of people wanting to celebrate the nation’s independence. Also new this year, there will be a charge for attendance. Cost of admission is $5 per person or $20 per carload of people. If people do not want to enter the fairgrounds but park in the Powhatan Elementary School or Powhatan Middle School parking lots to watch the
John Plashal Photo LLC conducted a unique charity event throughout central Virginia on June 12. A dozen guests were able to receive a unique, narrated tour of several of the state’s long abandoned locales with accompanying fascinating histories. Jeff Oakley, the owner of the Belmead on the James in Powhatan, gave temporary access to his property to allow for this fundraising event. Guests visited the Belmead mansion, the original granary and both historic cemeteries, in addition to receiving a full narrated historical tour by John Plashal. Temporary access to the St. Francis de Sales property was also granted by Oakley for Plashal’s guests to enjoy. As a result, $2,400 was raised for Connor’s Heroes, an organization dedicated to families in Central Virginia cope with childhood cancer.
fireworks, there is still an admission charge. People may also park there and cross to the festival. There will be security on site. All proceeds will benefit the Powhatan Dental Outreach Foundation, which the Hitts founded in memory of their late son Peter. The foundation holds free dental clinics for children and has offered events in Powhatan and other localities as well as in Honoduras, Hitt said. The Hitts offered the event at their own expense in 2020 because they felt like people really needed it, Melinda said. Even if they had to social distance, they could still see their neighbors and have some sense of normalcy

medical, dental, and even psychological needs can be met for people who need it,” Ware said. While Hashmi, who is in her first term, didn’t get to visit the Free Clinic’s old location because of COVID restrictions, she said she was incredibly impressed with the new building. The combination of the size, the accessibility, and the way individuals serving patients have their own space make the new clinic a huge asset to the community and residents in need. “We know that folks who don’t have health insurance and can’t access care are among our most vulnerable and susceptible individuals. Usually by the time they reach or access health care, they are at a crisis point,” Hashmi said. “They are facing serious health challenges, and a lot of times it is life and death. Or they are overwhelming the emergency rooms in our hospitals. So having accessible health care that addresses their ongoing needs is just so critical so they can maintain and monitor their health before they reach a crisis point.” She added that she knows people in another locality who are trying to start a free clinic there, so she will connect them
on a day all about celebrating freedom. “So many people showed up and just really enjoyed themselves. It was a nice break during COVID to be able to celebrate together. I just felt like the community needed it for a morale pick me up,” she said. This year, by charging admission and making it a fundraiser for the foundation, she is hoping the community celebration can raise money to help children in need of good dental care. People are invited to bring blankets and chairs to sit at the fairgrounds and enjoy an evening of music by Bad Biscuits, a country, southern rock band.

with Moslow to learn from her experience. “I am hoping we can replicate what has been done here in other parts of the state,” she said. When Rufus Phillips became the CEO of the Virginia Association of Free Clinics two years ago, Moslow was one of the first free clinic directors who reached out to him.

Pop quiz: how well do you know housing? By Laura McFarland Editor
W
e lost the quiz, but I gained some knowledge in return. On June 6, I attended a 20th anniversary celebration for Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan in a tent set up for the occasion next to the Habitat ReStore. It was a great event despite being a bright sunny day where you felt the temperature even in the shade. The celebration had many of the elements of a typical annual meeting with a program aimed at recognizing volunteers and community partners who have been such a big part of making Habitat’s mission possible and talking about that mission. It also had a surprise pop quiz with a sweet reward for getting answers correct, but I will talk about that in a minute. During the ceremony, organizers talked about how, a few days later, the nonprofit would dedicate the 15th Habitat house built in Powhatan since 2001. I try to attend local Habitat dedications because they are an amazing example of something great happening in our community that was only possible because of people working together. Despite usually being intimately involved in the homebuilding process, the homeowners are always overwhelmed at the dedication because of the sheer magnitude of the moment. Yes, they are taking on a mortgage just like so many other homebuyers, but that moment when someone ceremonially hands them the key to their home – the key to a huge part of their future – you can always see how moving it is for them. On June 10, that moment was just as meaningful for Sheila Hayes, the new homeowner of house 15. It’s always a wonderful moment to observe, as is a tradition our Habitat board of directors likes to follow that sees them presenting a gift basket filled with items with special meanings. The family receives bread so their house may never know hunger, sugar so their life will always have sweetness, wine so they will always be of good cheer, a candle so they might dwell in light and happiness, and a Bible so they will seek God’s word for truth and guidance. The 20th anniversary ceremony also touched on the
importance of Habitat’s critical repair program, which is focused on making repairs to homes so they are livable and safe for current residents who can’t afford home improvements. I have seen before and after pictures of roofs with holes covered by tarps and floors rotted clean through. Often these homeowners are seniors on a fixed income for whom spending thousands of dollars on a roof or a rotted floor seems unimaginably out of reach. I mentioned the quiz before. Halfway through the ceremony, Executive Director Susan Winiecki had those present go to an assigned table where they worked together to answer a list of five questions around the topic of housing. The questions get you thinking about the current state of housing, as they are meant to do. So in the spirit of fun, I am going to list those questions here and the answer choices as the teams saw them. The answer key is on page 8A. If you want to challenge yourself, see how many you can get right before you look at the key. I am going to admit my team only got two out of five correct. 1. If a household is identified to be “cost-burdened,” a family pays more than ____% of monthly income to pay a monthly rent or mortgage. 20% 30% 45% 50% 2. Due to the increase in lumber prices this past year, the average price of a new single-family home nationally has increased by nearly $______. $12,000 $15,500 $36,000 $45,000 3. Estimates project that in 2030 ____% of Powhatan’s population will be 65+. 10% 18% 27% 32%
4. As of April 2021, Powhatan’s average house sale price was $_____. $325,500 $353,968 $389,250 $404,776 5. If an individual is on federal disability (SSI), what do they receive per month? $794 $927 $1,191 $1,395 I wanted to take the time in this column to wish Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan a happy 20th anniversary and congratulations on the dedication of its 15th home. It is an amazing organization grounded in a spirit of cooperation. But this quiz that we all took at the nonprofit’s celebration also is highly relevant by itself. There has been a great deal of talk about housing in Powhatan in the last few years as people share what they do and do not want in the county. Affordable housing – especially for young people starting out on their own and older people looking to downsize but remain in their community – has been a particularly lively issue. It’s even more relevant because of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ current efforts to update the long-range comprehensive plan. At the comprehensive plan workshops on June 9 and 16, the supervisors continued the debate on how the issue of housing and residential density should be represented in the county’s most important visionary document. I mention it in particular because the board of supervisors is definitely not done with that topic and the public can attend these meetings or reach out to their board members or county staff and offer input. They next workshops are scheduled for 3 p.m. on June 23 and 30 and more meetings will likely follow. Housing is an incredibly broad and complicated issue, so discussions about it are likely to be diverse and sometimes intense. But the fact that it is a complicated issue is even more reason to have a wide range of Powhatan residents getting involved and having their say.
Impressions of past crime remain strong By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
When I arrived at Southwood College in the fall of 1970, one of my first meaningful decisions was something that did not involve scheduling of classes or purchasing books; it involved alcohol. Although North Carolina allowed the purchase of beer and wine at age 18, the matter was left for localities to decide, and the institution I had selected was situated in the middle of a dry as a bone county. For those born south of the MasonDixon Line, Sampson County was culture shock for sure, but all of the seemingly strange customs and quirks seemed somewhat familiar to those raised in the South. The numerous and large road signs announcing that you had entered Klan Country must have been disturbing to students who somehow found themselves in Salemburg lacking a proper knowledge of how things worked in that part of the Carolinas. The decision on which direction we would take to obtain alcohol involved two distinct choices, both of equal distance and quality of road. The road to the northern county line was a curvy two-lane highway that tested the most sober of drivers and proved too ambitious for many students following a Wednesday night blowout at the Village Inn. Or, you could drive the same distance west to a confluence of humanity called Fayetteville, a venue that offered more than just watered down beer and cheap wine.
I can only compare my first trip to downtown Fayetteville during that period to a feeling I had when I first disembarked a plane in a foreign county. Everything was new and vibrant, a neon haze of crowded sidewalks of slimy balkers enticing soldiers to enter one of the many establishments near Hay Street. Peaceniks, hippies, refugees from Vietnam, students and soldiers walked the same infested streets searching for the same excitement or some other validation. My arrival in the Fayetteville area coincided with a well-publicized inquiry that involved the murder of a young mother and her two girls at Fort Bragg, one of the busiest military bases in the United States that was made even more frantic by a full-scale war raging in Southeast Asia. The news of Captain Jeffrey MacDonald and the accusations surrounding him could have easily been lost in the shuffle, but, for college students with an ample amount of spare time, the case seemed intriguing. Many of our trips to the surreal atmosphere of a city like no other ended with a visit to the scene of the crime. Castle Drive seemed like all of the residential streets in Fort Bragg, the only distinctive feature being yellow crime tape that surrounded the small officers’ quarters. There was little question in our minds as to who the killer might be, and apparently some military investigators also were convinced Jeffrey MacDonald had murdered his family. A tribunal of military judges saw it differently and Mac8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-344-8746

Donald was exonerated, left the military, and moved to California to begin a new life. MacDonald told investigators that hippies had entered his apartment, killed his family in a most gruesome manner while inflicting only superficial wounds on the young Army doctor. He recalled a woman with a floppy hat, long blond hair, and boots being one of the attackers. Back in the dorm, we’d laugh about the woman in the floppy hat, since almost every female in Fayetteville wore one, and MacDonald’s description of the three men who accompanied her fit the majority of the male population. Most of us were surprised when the Army found no evidence and dismissed the charges later that fall. For most of us, that ended the case and I’m sure none of us thought we’d still be talking about it five decades later, or that the crime tape surrounding the scene of the crime remained in place until the unit was demolished decades later. Thanks in large part to the relentless efforts of the murdered wife’s stepfather, Alfred Kassab, MacDonald was eventually arrested for the murders, convicted and sentenced for the inexplicably cruel slayings. In the more than four decades since the murders, MacDonald has exhausted his appeals and has made numerous unsuccessful attempts to reopen the case, still clinging to his story of a hippie attack and the woman in the floppy hat. see VISION, pg. 8
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Resident lauds efforts to clean veteran graves Dear Editor, I was extremely pleased to read about Sgt. Kerry Rock’s effort to clean 400 veteran gravestones at the Oakwood Cemetery, Charlottesville with the help of his wife, Colleen, and former NFL star Chris Long. (RNL May 28, 2021, courtesy of The Daily Progress). Sgt. Rock fought in Iraq with the 173rd Airborne Brigade and has experienced firsthand the sacrifices made by those who serve our country. These efforts have now grown to be an annual event. Paratrooper Rock doesn’t care about the veteran’s race, creed, color, political party, when they served or fought, what war or on what side. All served, many fought, and some gave their life for this country. He only cares about rendering them all the honor and respect that they deserve. “Only the dead know the end of war” but they never should be forgotten. My Airborne Brother, I salute you and all who carry on this noble cause. Richard F. O’Hare Powhatan County

VISION Continued from pg. 7
My family recently watched a series on the MacDonald case that concluded he was possibly wrongly convicted and the murderers of two small innocent girls and their mother remain free, walking the streets of who knows what city. Most of the members of my family also were convinced by the documentary, but it did little to alter my long-held beliefs regarding MacDonald’s guilt. I never doubted it for a minute and still don’t. It was difficult for them to believe that a young, handsome doctor who had overachieved throughout his life could transform into a brutal monster capable of inflicting such unthinkable terror on his own family. Sadly, some of us have lived long enough to recognize a disturbing reality that unthinkable evil does exist. MacDonald is now 77 and recently asked a judge to issue a compassionate release that would allow him to spend the last years of his life in freedom. His refusal to admit his crime or show any remorse could affect the judge’s decision, but, at this point in the once young promising doctor’s life, perhaps the truth alone can provide his only true freedom. Case closed — again.

First FASTEST IN THE STATE! Greenhow wins 100, 200 playoff dash state championships in new meet-record times victory By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor
Powhatan boys LAX denies Monticello By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN -- When these two teams last met – in the 2019 regional tournament, which was Powhatan’s first time reaching the postseason – Monticello claimed its first-ever home region playoff victory. Last Monday, school history was once again made by the home team. Only this time, it was Powhatan erupting in celebration once the game clock hit zero. In just its fifth full year competing at the VHSL varsity level, Powhatan’s boys lacrosse team fended off the visiting Mustangs 10-8 for its first-ever playoff win and advanced to the Class 4, Region A champisee BOYS LAX, pg. 2B

Powhatan High School Class of 2021 graduate Anthony Greenhow sprints to a first-place finish in the boys 100-meter dash at the Class 4 outdoor track and field state championships held Saturday at Liberty University in Lynchburg.
Personal records. School records. State meet records. Anthony Greenhow shattered them all. In his last-ever outdoor track and field meet as a varsity athlete, the Powhatan High School Class of 2021 graduate and University of South Carolina signee made sure that it was his best. He outpaced all of his competitors with incendiary times of 10.37 seconds in the boys 100-meter dash and 21.03 seconds in the boys 200 dash to take home the Virginia High School League Class 4 state championships and set the new Class 4 state meet records in both events at Liberty University on Saturday. “It’s huge,” Greenhow said. “The whole season, and including last year, this is what we were looking at: at states, trying to hit the state record.” With his incredible dash, Greenhow became the new state meet record holder across all six Virginia High School League classes in the 100, eclipsing the 10.41 run by Blacksburg’s Cole Beck in 2017. Greenhow also delivered the third fastest high school time ever run in the 100 in the State of Virginia. His fiery sprint outclassed: his Powhatan High School record that was previously set with his region-winning efforts (10.63) the week prior; his personal record that he set in an electronically timed run at Powhatan High School last July (10.49); and the previous Class 4 state meet record of 10.44 that was set by Beck in 2018 when Blacksburg moved to Class 4. “The last couple meets…my 100 hasn’t been where I wanted it to be,” Greenhow said, “I was a little iffy about it today, but I just shoved that out of my head. I just told myself to execute and hold my form and just execute the race, same thing with the 200. I wasn’t too worried about the 200 – my 200 was pretty consistent – but the 100 was the big one that I was worried about, and I had a huge PR in both races.” In his state-winning sprint in the 100, he felt he definitely improved on coming out of his drive phase, as well as on relaxing. He also spoke to moving his arms faster. For the 200, Greenhow said his goal see GREENHOW, pg. 3B
Winningest season by percentage ends in region semis By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – When the final half ended, the scoreboard showed just one winner: visiting Monticello. But in many ways, Monday’s Class 4, Region A semifinal game was a huge win for Powhatan girls lacrosse. Head coach Laura Camp recalled how, in recent years when Powhatan was still in the Jefferson District, Monticello would win by 18 to 20 points. “And if we scored 1 or 2 goals, we were thrilled,” Camp said. But on Monday, Powhatan’s extremely young team – which this year
featured only one Class of 2021 graduate and three rising seniors – gave the visiting Mustangs a battle to remember, coming up just shy of the victory on a 13-12 result. The Indians closed out their 2021 campaign with a final record of 7-3, their winningest season percentagewise in just their fifth full year competing at the VHSL varsity level. “The fact that we only lost by 1 and that it was such a close game and we truly competed against that level of team, it makes me so proud of the girls,” said Camp, who upon leaving NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY the field was greeted with applause Powhatan rising senior Kendal McMullin (26) scores a goal in Powhatan girls see GIRLS LAX, pg. 2B

Powhatan boys LAX ends season as regional runners-up By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor CROZET --While their season ended in Thursday night’s regional championship game, which saw their Western Albemarle opponents celebrate a 12-6 victory, the Powhatan Indians – through reaching the Class 4, Region A final – raised the bar following the conclusion of the young boys lacrosse program’s fifth full year on the VHSL varsity level. “It means a lot – it’s really nice to see the guys get to this point, because I’ve known how hard they’ve worked, and it really makes it feel good that the guys have truly bought in to what we’re doing,” said Powhatan boys lacrosse head coach Joe Niles. “We’ve built a really good culture, and it’s not just one player getting us here. It’s a whole team effort, and so that’s what’s really nice...it’s Powhatan Strong. We’re a community, we play like that. It’s very, very exciting. “It’s sad as I hate to lose games, losing’s never fun,” Niles added, “but at least getting here and getting the opportunity to play is one thing.” And Powhatan got to once again see a team like Western Albemarle, enabling the team’s projected returners to glean valuable experience when it comes to competing in the playoffs against powerhouses like Western or Atlee, the latter of which will be moving down from Class 5 to Class 4 next season. “I’m excited about next year; we’re going to have a tough schedule next year, but we’ve got a very talented team, and we’re only going to get bet-

ter,” Niles said. “We’re going to keep working hard and we’re going to see what we can do next year, and hopefully we’ll be back here and win it.” Rising junior Paxton Sloan led Powhatan in goals scored with 2, and rising sophomore Luca Blevins, rising junior Connor Walters and Class of 2021 graduates Chase Mahaney and Brandon Palmore each added 1. Powhatan closed the year with a final re-

onship game – the furthest that Powhatan has gone in its young history. “It was a great, great win. I’m super-excited,” said head coach Joe Niles. “I just told the guys in the huddle: we won this game because we were out in the cold in January, in December, in February, going through drills, doing other stuff that you don’t see out here on the field. That’s why we win these games, is because we do the extra work to get better.” In the early stretches, Monticello would go up by 2 goals, but then Powhatan would respond with 2 of its own each time, tying the match at 4-4 in the second quarter. And then, with 1:33 left in the first half, senior Brandon Palmore took a pass from fellow senior Chase Mahaney and launched the ball into the net for the 5-4 lead. Powhatan would never trail again. Monticello did tie the game at 5-5 near the top of the third quarter, but freshman Luca Blevins delivered the low shot for the final go-ahead goal, finishing off a possession that began with Palmore’s takeaway created by both Palmore and Blevins’ pressure. With 3:26 left in the third, senior Nate Gray’s shot up the middle gave Powhatan a key insurance goal before Monticello responded to trail 7-6, and three of Gray’s teammates – senior Ryland Davis, Parker Unmussig and

Paxton Sloan – all scored to keep the Indians ahead of the Mustangs in the closing stages. “Once you get momentum on your side, you’ve just got to keep the pedal to the medal, so to speak, and keep grinding, keep moving and play as hard as you can,” Niles said. “I always tell the guys: work hard and good things will happen. And you’ll make a mistake, don’t worry about it, recover, keep playing as hard as you can. And play for each other – play for Powhat-
an –and I think that’s what the guys are really starting to do.” Blevins, Palmore and Sloan each scored 2 goals, and Davis, Mahaney, Unmussig and Slater Smith – who was the first for Powhatan to score last Monday – all had 1. Mahaney had three first-half assists. Freshman Tommy Menting, Connor Barrett, Austin Hurt, senior Andrew Bastiaensen and Haven Pope all contributed to the Indians’ defensive efforts, and goalie Connor Jeffs made

We played with some players pulled up from JV, so the fact that we played with the limited number of players that we had and did so well, I couldn’t be happier. “Even though we lost, we really won in my book,” Camp said. Christopher Newport commit and rising senior Jordan Krauss never wavered in the long, sweltering game as she kept the Mustangs guessing with her movement and control of the ball. She continued to show that she could either deliver a key pass to her teammate to put said teammate in position for the shot, or she could swing around from the edge with her quickness and go after the goal herself. Krauss was also among the players who could knock the ball loose and take the ball away from Monticello on the

hatan’s efforts in the regional final. “The seniors really lead the team,” Niles said. “They understand the culture. They’ve been with the program for four years. They started as freshmen, they’ve come up, and that is really nice because it transposes itself on to the younger guys, and it just feeds itself down, so it’s really important. I’m very proud of them, and they represented Powhatan really well.” several big saves, including one in the closing minutes when he caught an air ball above his head. “It’s the hardest thing to do on the field,” Niles said of playing defense last Monday. “It takes a lot of communication, takes a lot of stamina, and the guys have really, really started to gel well on defense, and they kind of understand where each other will be on the field…they’re working super-hard and it’s nice to see they had a good result today.” The work that Powhatan’s lacrosse program – the coaches and players – have put in over the years is leading to more and more success. “These guys have all been playing lacrosse since they were in ninth grade – seventh grade – sixth grade – so they know each other really, really well,” Niles said. “We’re a team of: we’re blue-collar guys…a lot of teams have those players who, they’re the team – they shoot and score and shoot and score – we’ve got to work for every goal and we do that together as a team, and I think that’s the biggest thing, is we emphasize the team first, not the individual. “I tell the guys all the time: effort will carry the day, and the team who wins a lot of times is the team who wants it more,” Niles said last Monday. “We just pushed hard and we played hard, and things happened our way today. It was nice to see. “I’m glad we got another game to play for the seniors.”

Lexi Campbell and Kendal McMullin each scored 2 goals for Powhatan. “Lexi Campbell played with her entire heart and soul and was not feeling good, but rallied and came back, and was such an instrumental part in the game,” Camp said. “Kendal ran the middie the entire game and without fail.” Carly Rehme and McKayla Brasswell each scored 1 goal. Camp added that the defense played “probably the best that they’ve played all year” and that Hayden pulled through with her transitions and runs up the middle. Jessie Fens held down the goal for Powhatan, and Casey Grell and Sam Flippo had strong games on defense. Powhatan was missing Sophie Payne and Taylor Fitzsimmons and brought up Rehme from JV. The rising junior played almost the entire game and tightened the Mustangs’ lead to 13-11 with 5:27 left to play off of her shot in transition.
“She was a huge asset to our team,” Camp said of Rehme. “I’m so proud of her for her confidence and really stepping up.” She added: “Every single person contributed to this game, so I’m really happy.” Camp saw her young team get “stronger and stronger” throughout the season, and last Monday’s game, she said, “was a perfect performance to end on.” Powhatan will return all players except for Class of 2021 graduate Chloe DeGroat, who contributed to the team’s defensive efforts throughout the season. Rising seniors include Krauss, McMullin and Grace Cowles, and the Indians are projected to have a deep bench with many experienced underclassmen and a promising freshman class. “We’ve just come such a long way in such a short time, so these girls should only be proud of themselves,” Camp said. “It was just a great season – so happy to coach such a fantastic group of girls, because they all are just great people on and off the field.”

PLL Seniors earn District V runner-up honors By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor HENRICO -- The Powhatan Little League Seniors bounced back from an opening-round loss to battle their way into the Virginia Little League District V baseball championship series. Earning all of its wins in the elimination bracket, Powhatan eliminated Atlee, Central Chesterfield and Chesterfield – the very team that had beaten the unit in the first round – on the way to facing Tuckahoe on Saturday. Facing Atlee, Powhatan triumphed 3-0 in its first elimination game. William Karanian and Luke Burkhart both hit home runs, and Andrew Shiflett pitched for the victory. Matthew Layman pitched a complete-game shutout to help his Powhatan Senior All-Stars advance past Central Chesterfield 7-0. Layman scattered five hits and three walks across 88 pitches in seven scoreless innings. He threw strikes, forced three infield flyouts – including two back-to-back with the bases loaded in the third inning – and let his defense make plays behind him. He added two strikeouts. Layman also helped his case by smashing a two-run base hit into leftcenter field in the sixth inning. Dylan Trevillian and Burkhart got Powhatan out of the bases-loaded jam in the third when: Trevillian, from third base, hustled in fielding a groundball and zipped it to first; and Burkhart went low and extended to make the catch in time, completing the clutch 5-3 play. Powhatan’s bats slowly grew the team’s lead over the first five innings before rocketing away on 4 runs and five hits in the sixth. Powhatan quickly went ahead 1-0 in the opening half-inning when lightfooted lead-off batter Shiflett doubled and scored off of Karanian’s sacrifice fly to left field. Karanian showcased his own speed in the fourth when he reached first base on an infield single hit to the shortstop, stole second, sprinted to third on Trevillian grounding out to third, and came home for the 2-0 lead

off of Gradie Mingee’s sacrifice fly to right field. Donald Richardson made it 3-0 when he clocked a low line-drive single into right-center, then scored off of Ryan Ragland grounding out to third. Shiflett, Karanian, Trevillian, Layman and Luke Burkhart all had hits in the sixth. Shiflett hit two doubles and scored twice, Karanian batted 2 for 3 with 2 RBI and scored twice, Burkhart batted 2 for 3 with an RBI and scored a run, Trevillian had a sixth-inning base hit to shallow center field and scored a run and Richardson had his fifth-inning base hit and scored a run. Mingee and Ragland each had an RBI. Central Chesterfield left eight batters on base.

was to catch them in the curve – which he did – “and just take it home the last 100 meters” – and he did that, too. He reeled off yet another explosive set of corners as he had done in his previous two 200-meter races during both Powhatan High School’s Senior Night home meet and the Class 4, Region B championships. Once he hit the front stretch, Greenhow had set sail, putting a noticeable gap in between himself and his competitors as he crossed the finish line. With his 21.03, Greenhow smashed not only his own PR and the Powhatan High School record (21.31), but also the previous Class 4 state meet record of 21.30 that was set by Bassett’s Joshua Pearson in 2014. Greenhow’s dash in the 200 is also the eighth fastest high school time ever run in the State of Virginia. Greenhow outpaced all other Virginia High School League state champions this year in both the 100 and the 200. His nearest competitors were Class 2 state 100 champion Demond Claiborne of King William (10.67) and Class 5 state 200 champion Jayson Ward of L.C. Bird (21.52). After having entered his senior year still in search of his first state title, Greenhow has concluded his varsity career having won four. Greenhow earlier this CONTRIBUTED PHOTO year won the Class 4 indoor state titles both in the 55 and the 300. He also won the men’s 17-18 year old 200-meter dash at the AAU National Indoor Championships in March.
