Thousands gather at Powhatan Freedom Festival Community, food, fireworks focus of July 4 celebration By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – Thousands of people gathered at the Powhatan County Fairgrounds on July 4 to celebrate the nation’s Independence Day at the second annual Powhatan Freedom Festival. Although there isn’t an official attendance count, organizers know more than 4,000 people attended the event for an evening of music, games, food, fellowship, and fireworks. Even more parked alongside Anderson Highway to watch the fireworks display at dusk or gathered at nearby homes, schools, or businesses. Melinda Hitt, who organized the event with her husband, Corey Hitt, said she was thrilled with the turnout and the way the event was allowed to grow with COVID-19 attendance restrictions now lifted. “I was happy to see so many people

come out. My favorite part was handing out the 4-by-6-inch flags to the little kids. Just seeing them wave the flags and having a good time and get excited felt very patriotic,” she said.
The event started at 5 p.m., but people began arriving early to stake out a good parking place and a space on the lawn to listen to music by Bad Biscuits, a country, southern rock band, and to watch the
fireworks. Many people gathered in the heart of the fairgrounds around the stage while others tailgated near their vehicles. Hitt said she decided to hold the first event in 2020 and offer free admission to the 1,000 people allowed to attend because she recognized there were people in the community who had lost their jobs. She wanted to make sure anyone could come to celebrate the Fourth of July as part of the community. When the Hitts decided to bring the Freedom Festival back for a second year, they wanted to make it a fundraiser for the Powhatan Dental Outreach Foundation, which holds free dental clinics for children and has offered events in Powhatan and other localities as well as in Honduras. So they charged admission this year. Donna Kidder of Powhatan attended the event with her family and said they were super excited to get out and see fireworks this year. She said it was wonderful to see all the folks at the fairgrounds without masks enjoying the Fourth with their families. “It was really our first public event in over a year! My favorite part was the feeling of complete normalcy. I'll never see FREEDOM, pg. 6
VDOT study highlights problems with Route 60 By Laura McFarland Editor
Prsrt. Standard U.S. POSTAGE PAID Powhatan, VA Permit No.19
POWHATAN – The results of a two-year study of a 103-mile stretch of U.S. Route 60 show that two intersections in Powhatan County are currently operating at unacceptable levels of service and several projects in Powhatan and Cumberland counties are recommended to improve safety. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) released the re-
sults of the U.S. 60 Corridor Study, which examined Route 60 in the six localities between Powhatan and Amherst counties. The study provides localities with cost effective, innovative intersection design improvements that are tailored for submission as SMART Scale applications they can apply to for funding, said Darrel Johnson, rural planning manager with VDOT. SMART Scale is a statewide competitive funding program for
transportation projects that takes place every two years. “The localities can take this information and apply for SMART Scale funding. The issues have been identified in a study; there is data to support it. So hopefully it would rank high in the funding scenario,” Johnson said. “But you also have to keep in mind they are competing against other locations around the district and state. It puts them closer to the top, but they
are competing against other projects for funding.” He added it is ultimately up to the board of supervisors and the public to decide if they want to accept VDOT’s recommendations and submit them for funding through SMART Scale. Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, said the study provides good insight and data for county officials to scrutinize but stressed no final decisions have been made
on the information. Some of the projects have already been recommended in the past and have gone through the public process in previous SMART Scale applications, such as suggestions for the Red Lane intersection with Route 60, while some are completely new for the county. “People shouldn’t look at this and think that decisions have been made to build each and every one of them,” Schardein said. The results of the
study, while offering some new solutions, only verified what the county already knew that “the corridor is going to continue to be stressed,” he added. With applications for the next round of SMART Scale due in 2022, county and VDOT staff will start bringing options to the supervisors in the coming months. The report, which was released in June and cost $232,141, includes a see VDOT pg. 4

HOW DO YOU MAXIMIZE THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF SOLAR ENERGY? Recently more homeowners are considered investing in the installation of a solar energy system for their property. Solar is an excellent way to generate clean renewable energy using sunlight. Solar panels are very reliable and require very little maintenance to indefinitely generate free energy. Solar panels located on the roof of the home collect sunlight which is converted by the solar cells into energy that can be used immediately or stored in deep cycle batteries for later use. There may be times when you may actually be providing surplus solar energy to the grid. The utility company will pay you for the electricity you generate or use the amount they have taken to offset the cost of your energy bill. This will help maximize your energy savings and lower your bills. If you’re interested in having a Solar Energy System installed and would like information and pricing, give me a call at 804920-6132, and I will be happy to discuss your options and give you a free quote.

Board wraps up first round of comp plan workshops By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently wrapped up its first efforts on its latest attempts at updating the county’s long-range comprehensive plan and is taking a break for a few weeks on the effort. The board held its fourth workshop focused solely on the comprehensive plan update on Wednesday, June 30. The focus of the meeting continued to remain on evaluating what changes they may want to see with the land use designations in the chapter on Land Use and Community Character. The board also discussed the need to update the county’s Major Thoroughfare Plan to have a realistic look of how transportation efforts may develop in the next 20 years. The board made it through several land use designations and a few other topics in the meeting, which was a little shorter than the previous three. At the end of the meeting, the supervisors decided to take a break from the workshops both to give staff time to work on the changes they had requested and to give themselves and the public paying attention to the proceedings a break from the intensive process. The board agreed to restart their discussions on the comprehensive plan at a workshop at 3 p.m. on Aug. 4. The topics discussed at the latest workshop included: Economic opportu-
nity – This land designation is highlights areas where there are opportunities to create large, cohesive master-planned developments that incorporate commercial and light industrial uses, with complementary residential uses, according to the current draft of the plan. These areas include large, contiguous parcels close to major highways, utilities, and other infrastructure, making them suitable for projects that could support regional employers and major businesses. The biggest debates surrounding this land use designation, which had already come up at a previous workshop, were whether to allow residential use and, if so, how dense it could be. The board was split on this issue, but ultimately it was decided to allow residential in Economic Opportunity (30% maximum) at a density of four units per acre. However, they stipulated no multi-family apartments are allowed. Bill Cox, District 4, and David Williams, District 1, were against allowing residential in this designation. Cox requested a formal vote on allowing residential in this designation so the two men could go on the record as being publicly against it. Industrial – In this land use designation, a variety of industrial uses, including warehousing, manufacturing, research and development, and mining may be permitted, either by-right or with a conditional use permit. Residential uses are inappropriate within industrial areas. The main discussion about Industrial pertained to wording in the
development design section that said, “Open space, such as plazas, small parks, and other amenities, should be incorporated into the project, provided that they are located away from areas with excessive noise, dust, odor, and heavy truck traffic.” The board ultimately decided it should be encouraged but not required since open space is not compatible with some industrial operations. Village – This land use designation generally applies to areas surrounding the historic Powhatan County Courthouse. This area can accommodate small-scale, pedestrianfriendly mixed-use development that complements existing development within the Courthouse Village. The Village designation has two separate allowances for residential densities. In the “Historic Core,” two to eight units per acre are allowed. In other areas, one to three were allowed under the plan. After discussion by the board, they decided to keep the Historic Core as is but lower the allowed densities in other areas to a maximum of two per acre. There were also discussions on the allowed commercial growth within the Village and making sure it is appropriate to its surroundings. Corridor Mixed Use – The board ultimately decided to eliminate this designation. It was designed to accommodate mixed-use development along or near Route 60 and Route 13, serving as a transition between the core Courthouse Village and surrounding areas. The main arguments

against this designation were that it is designed to create sprawl and to jump development unnaturally away from the Village instead of letting it expand out naturally. Rural – While the board had already discussed this designation, the focus on this conversation was how the county might have more of an impact in the growth in these areas, which make up the vast majority of land use in Powhatan. Most of the current residential growth is in the agricultural areas where it is done by-right, so the

wealth of insight on Route 60 in Powhatan and Cumberland counties, including levels of service, crash data, and detailed recommendations for improvements. Of the 12 intersections VDOT looked at in all of the counties, it recommended some type of improvements at all eight studied in Powhatan and had recommendations for one in Cumberland. The study also fulfilled a request made by Sen. Emmett Hanger Jr., R-24, in June 2019 and citizens who spok at the public meetings concerned about the impacts of the proposed Green Ridge Landfill in Cumberland County. While the study did not find that by itself the landfill, if built, would require more improvements to Route 60, when taken as a whole with projected growth in that area, VDOT did recommend that some improvements would be warranted, Johnson said. He also said that the entire study was finished using the best information VDOT had at the time of the study, including past growth rates, trends on how major urban and suburban areas expand, and existing planning tools. One of the documents VDOT used was the PowSERVING *City of Richmond *Charles City *Chesterfield *Goochland *Hanover *Henrico *New Kent *Powhatan
hatan County 2019 Long Range Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted by the former board of supervisors. The current board is in the process of updating the plan. Johnson acknowledged that significant changes to the comprehensive plan “could cause the traffic projections to decrease or increase depending on what is included in the comp plan.” To view the full U.S. 60 Corridor Study, visit https://www.virginiadot. org/projects/lynchburg/ route-60-corridor.asp.
Level of service Level of service (LOS) refers to the quality of traffic operations using letters A through F, where A represents free flow conditions and F means extreme congestion, according to the report. The study looked at 12 key intersections on Route 60 (eight were in Powhatan and one in Cumberland) during the peak morning and evening hours. According to the findings, two intersections in Powhatan County are already failing based on their current levels, and, if projected growth happens as expected, two more intersections would be at failing levels by 2040.

Powhatan, none include adding any signalized intersections, which slow the flow of traffic. There are several recommendations for innovative intersections that do not yet exist in Powhatan. For more information, videos, and further explanation on each type of recommended improvement, visit https:// www.virginiadot.org/innovativeintersections/. Dorset Road/Route 60 and Batterson Road/ Route 60 – Even if Powhatan experienced no more growth in the next 20 years, the intersection at Dorset Road and U.S. 60 would already be failing with grades of F during morning peak hours and D during evening hours. Both are projected to be at grade F by 2040 without improvements. The intersection at Batterson Road and Route 60 received a grade of A both in the morning and evening at current levels and with projected growth. A recommendation was made that includes both because they feed into each other. The study recommends the intersection of Route 60 and Batterson Road be reconfigured to allow only eastbound left-turns and Uturns and only rights-in and rights-out from the minor approach. The study also recommended that the intersection of Route 60 and Dorset Road be reconstructed as a signalized restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) with dual northbound right-turn lanes, the innermost to be used by vehicles that will use the proposed U-turn area at the Batterson Road intersection to travel westbound on Route 60. Southbound right turns at the Dorset Road intersection will utilize a proposed U-turn area approximately 400 feet west of the intersection to travel eastbound on Route 60. Maidens Road and Emmanuel Church Road/ Route 60 – The other failing intersection in Powhatan, this location re-
ceived a grade of D in both the morning and evening. By 2040, it is expected to be at grade E in the mornings and F in the evening. VDOT recommended a combination of a quadrant roadway (QR), roundabout, and continuous green-T (CGT). A quadrant roadway is an intersection design with one main intersection and two secondary intersections that are linked by a connector road in any quadrant of the intersection. The quadrant roadway would be constructed in the northeast quadrant of the intersection with tie-in points on Maidens Road, approximately 600 feet north of the intersection and on Route 60, approximately 400 feet east of the intersection. The new intersection on Maidens Road is proposed as a roundabout and the new intersection on Route 60 is proposed as a CGT. This is where one major street direction of travel (the top side of the “T”) can pass through the intersection without stopping, and the opposite major street direction of travel is typically controlled by a traffic signal. It is also recommended to restrict all left-turns at the existing intersection of Route 60 with Maidens Road; vehicles will instead utilize the new quadrant roadway to get to their desired destination. Route 60/Judes Ferry Road and Route 60/ New Dorset – The intersection of Route 60 and Judes Ferry Road currently receives a grade of C in the morning and evening. That would be expected to drop to a D in the morning and E in the evening by 2040. While New Dorset Road is currently at an A grade at both peak hours, it would see the most change with future growth, plummeting to an F in the morning but staying at a B in the evening by 2040. VDOT recommended converting both intersections to RCUTs, which
would restrict the through and left-turn movements from both New Dorset and Judes Ferry roads. The intersection with New Dorset Road would have two westbound U-turn lanes for vehicles wishing to travel eastbound on Route 60 from Judes Ferry Road. New Dorset Road may be signalized if warranted in the future. The report noted that the recommendation for the RCUT at Judes Ferry Road incorporates a currently funded eastbound dual left-turn lane project. Route 60 and South Creek One – This intersection currently has a grade A in the morning peak hours and B in the evening. The future projection is grade B in the morning and C in the evening. There is a potential for land development south of Route 60 at this location, which will include the construction of a south leg at this intersection, according to the report. Traffic volume forecasts indicate that the minor approach northbound and southbound through-movements will be very low volume and it is recommended that when the intersection is constructed, it be configured to a throughcut intersection, prohibiting through movements from the minor approaches. Vehicles will be required to use U-turn areas or other roadways to cross Route 60. Route 60 and Batterson Road (East)/Urbine Road – This intersection gets a grade A across the board and would only go down to a B in the evening peak hours in future projects. VDOT recommended that the crossover at this location be modified to only permit westbound left-turns from Route 60 to southbound Urbine Road. All other movements through the crossover would be prohibited. Right turns will still be allowed from the minor approaches. Vehicles from southbound Batterson Road that

would previously turn left on Route 60 will use Judes Ferry Road to make this movement. Vehicles that would normally turn left from northbound Urbine Road to westbound Route 60 will now turn right and perform a U-turn at South Creek One to travel west on Route 60. Route 60 and Red Lane Road – This intersection currently has grades of B in the morning and C in the afternoon but would be projected to drop to a straight C grade in the future. VDOT recommended that the intersection be reconfigured to a continuous green-T. This improvement would provide an eastbound acceleration lane on Route 60 for vehicles turning left from Red Lane Road while removing the traffic control for vehicles on eastbound Route 60. Cumberland County – VDOT made recommendations regarding Route 60 in the vicinity of the Poorhouse Road and Trents Mill Road intersections regarding better pavement markings, signage, increasing the pavement area, and installing transverse lane rumble strips or speed reduction lane markings. At Route 60 and Northfield Road/Cartersville Road, VDOT recommended the intersection be reconfigured to remove the dual northbound and southbound approaches and create a more perpendicular intersection alignment. It is also recommended that a right turn lane be constructed on westbound Route 60.

Christina Del Cioppo attended the event with her husband and two daughters. She said it was the first year her family attended the Freedom Festival because this is their first year living here in Powhatan and they wanted to see what the festival was like. “We loved it and the kids had so much fun, too. My daughters loved the bubbles and going in the ambulance and learning about the first responders’ jobs, and, of course, we all loved the fireworks and the live music,” she said. While it was a great community even, Hitt was happy to hear that people came from around the region.

Making forward progress one box at a time By Laura McFarland Editor
J
ust one more box. For about a month now, that has been my mantra. Before the Fourth of July weekend, it was all about the packing. Get the books in boxes. Get the quilting fabric in boxes or tubs. Why do I have so much of both? Then it was Fourth of July weekend and over three days it was all about carrying boxes down the stairs at my old place, putting them in a trailer, driving 20 minutes to my new home, and carrying it up a new set of stairs. Just get this box taken care of, I would tell myself. Why do I have so much stuff? I know I said that out loud more than once, and I am sure the absolutely wonderful friends who helped me move over those three days probably had the same thought. About an hour before I left my (new) home to go to the Powhatan County Fairgrounds to cover the second annual Freedom Festival on July 4, I unloaded the last box from my vehicle. If anyone asked if I was moved, the answer was now officially yes. Unpacked was another story. The festival was a welcome reprieve from the monumental task ahead of getting the new place in order. There were no boxes in sight – only people looking to
have a good time and celebrate the 245th anniversary of our nation’s independence. The festival offered music, a few games, food and craft vendors, and a great fireworks display. It was largely attended but had a great community feeling, so I had a good time. My job that day was simply to take photos of the people who attended with their friends and families, which is always entertaining. It was wonderful seeing families in matching outfits and star spangled regalia. One lady in particular had a red, white, and blue sequined cowgirl hat that this Texas native thought was particularly fetching and would add nicely to my small hat collection once I figured out where I was going to put said collection. No! We are taking a break from the move, remember? Kids chasing bubbles – that will be a nice photo. Yes, these are actual conversations that happen in my head. Eventually it was back to the boxes. I had July 5 off from work and tried to challenge myself to focus on unpacking, putting things where they go in my new place, and crossing them off a packing list I made before the move. The night before I even tried to get a little accountability by asking friends in a group chat how many boxes they thought I could unpack that day. Their predictions ranged from five to 29. The lower number came from a friend who has seen first-hand how distracted I can get around my bookcases.

Accordion displayed as a tribute to the musician By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
The old accordion rests on a small table among other artifacts in my sister’s living room as a silent, but solemn, tribute to the man who played it. I suppose to some it would seem an odd accessory to display, but to those who knew him, nothing could better capture the nature of a man than that old well-worn Hohner accordion. Few of us have the distinction of being instantly remembered by a single object. My uncle obtained the instrument while serving in the Army during and after World War II, and dragged it home with a collection of German beer steins and other acquisitions from his extended tour of the country. He left behind a community of friends, relationships and memories of what he once told me were some of the best years of his life. But to the benefit of all that encountered him, Uncle Dudley did return to Gaithersburg, Maryland, and his dream of returning to Germany remained unfulfilled until late in his life. But, the memories of his stay remained strong throughout his life. We knew none of this as we gathered around him as children and begged him to play the accordion. On some occasions, he’d tease for hours as we waited eagerly and suffered a severe sense of disappointment when he would wander close to the instrument, but not pick it up. And, when it seemed all hope was lost and the long-awaited concert would not occur, he’d scoop up the finely-tuned squeeze box and belt out a series of tunes, all recognizable. In retrospect, I suspect his actual musical ability on the accordion was limited. It’s not an easy instrument to play, and, to my knowledge, he had no formal training.

Schools must prepare students for real world
His routine was always the same. He closed his eyes and searched through a few chords for a starting point, and then joined in with a melody tapped out on tiny keys on the opposite end of the bellows. His foot tapped like a bass drum as he performed his melodies, and the most patriotic of tunes required an accompanying march around my grandmother’s large dining room table. And, yes, he took requests and somehow, could always devise something that sounded familiar to your request. Although he always seemed hesitant to perform and, at some times, the expressions on his face were almost painful as he played a song, Uncle Dudley played that accordion for hundreds of children throughout the years. I’m not sure what motivated him, but I thought in later life the accordion was his personal reminder of a life that might have been, far away in a different country. Dudley maintained relationships with many of his old German friends, and, as a child, I remember him speaking of Fritz and other German friends. Many visited over the decades, and some even moved to America and maintained close relationships with my uncle throughout his life. I hope that old accordion maintains its well-deserved place of dignity in years to come. Perhaps, few will remember the story of Uncle Dudley and his accordion, but for the dozens of a generation who grew up with the man and that musical instrument, it will remind us of his kindness, compassion and ability to make special memories that last a lifetime. And for those of us who were lucky enough to benefit from his compassion and love of family, one glance at that old accordion tells the story. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-344-8746
Things were going very well. I woke up at a decent hour, got ready for the day, and began unpacking. A few boxes in, I got tired of trying to mentally track how many boxes I had made it through, so I began making marks with a pen on my hand. It was only after the second time that I washed my hands that I realized this method might be problematic, but I persevered. By 11:15 a.m., I had emptied 17 boxes and placed their contents in their new homes. Then came a lunch break/trip to “pick up a few things” that saw me still out and about several hours later. In one store, I hit a wall of exhaustion and was convinced all I would be good for the rest of the day was taking a nap and making sure my desk was set up for work the next day. And at one point, that seemed to be how it would go. But a late surge of energy kicked in and the “just one more box” mantra got me to a total of 30 boxes unpacked that day. I wish I could say that meant I was done, but at least it was definite progress. I am trying to go easy on myself. My friends and family have all shared the “do one box a night” advice, which I might settle into over the next few days as the box contents start leaning toward the miscellaneous category. As I write this, I am on Day 4 in the new place, so there is still plenty to do. But as long as it is working, I am happy to keep settling into my new home “just one more box” at a time.
Dear Editor, I understand it is a school employee’s responsibility to advance the PCPS mission, which states that students will be prepared to thrive in a global community. As participants in a global community, members are encouraged to cooperate, even participate in actions which promote peace and strive for justice. A global community promotes mutual respect and tolerance for all ethnicities and races in the world. Integrity, caring and understanding of diversity are worthy virtues to have as humanity learns to work, live and communicate with one another. I am a retired 30-year public school teacher. It is with thanks and praise to the school board for the thoughtful, forward thinking mission statement that, if adhered to, would certainly benefit students here and in the greater world where they will one day contribute. To the amazing teachers of PCPS, I extend salutations and gratitude for upholding the county’s mission statement by being models of compassion, tolerance and fairness in the classroom. I encourage everyone in PCPS to stay the course despite the noise and distractions from outsiders with political agendas. I am a proud American and a proud Powhatan County resident.

News skeptics needed to discern what is true Dear Editor, There is a myth in our country – not publicly stated – by the big three cable news/

as conservation subdivisions, which encourage land preservation, and requiring that larger subdivisions be reviewed by the planning commission and board of super-
talk shows, that every personal opinion has an equal weighted value when compared to all other personal opinions. Here’s the skinny on that: it’s not true. But, the Cables apparently want their viewers to assume it is. These networks seem to believe in the persuasive power that salacious and highly controversial opinions seduce their viewers, which in turn benefits the company. I base that observation on their repeated bookings of their radically opinionated “guests.” It is imperative for the networks to keep increasing numbers of eyeballs glued to their channels while fighting their ratings wars. In turn, the higher the ratings, the more advertising dollars pour in to their bank accounts. Eureka. Our politicians are equally guilty of pushing their opinions as not only being the Holy Grail on any topic they espouse and that they have irrefutable gravitas. If you had cancer you wouldn’t go to a witch-doctor to cure your illness, no matter how adamant and convincing he or she was. Yet, we listen to the vocal fringe as if their words are gospel. They want you to believe that you better hop on board their train and be quick about it. Whatever happened to the American skeptic who asks: “Is this (whatever) true?” Blind political party allegiance can be a metaphorical killer. You can bet that that unquestionable fealty could be physically and financially harmful to your life in many ways. Remember the adage, “You can’t believe everything you read in the newspaper?” You also can’t believe everything you see and hear on TV. We would do well to protect ourselves by scrutinizing these ‘blue-ribbon’ opinions for the truth. Joe Ondishko Powhatan County

The first area, which looked at the 11.96-mile stretch between U.S. 522 and the Chesterfield County line, saw 520 vehicle crashes occur during that time, 206 of which resulted in injury. Of the 520 crashes on the four-lane stretch in Powhatan, 255 were rear end crashes, 152 were angle crashes, and 64 were lane departure crashes. By comparison, the much longer stretch between U.S. 522 and Amherst County saw a total of 529 vehicle crashes with 184 resulting in injury. Of those, 75 were rear end crashes, 81 were angle crashes, and 194 were lane departure cashes.

and requests VDOT received during the part of the study where public input was being requested, about 90% of the feedback was about asking VDOT to look closer at the proposed Green Ridge Landfill project in Cumberland County near the Powhatan border, Johnson said. According to the data that VDOT collected during the study, the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) conducted by Davenport regarding the potential impact of Green Ridge gave traffic estimates that “were within reason.” A roadway safety audit was conducted for the two-lane portion of Route 60 from Route 522 to the proposed landfill entrance location, the study said. The effort identified corridor-wide recommendations to include safety edges, rumble strips, and wider shoulders to address
roadway departures. Additional recommendations included a continuous center left-turn lane section in the Bell Road area, a westbound right-turn lane at Old Tavern Road, and wider shoulders in the Ballsville Road area. However, he pointed out that these recommendations are based on an evaluation of various factors relating to that area and its potential growth in the future. When looking at an area, they couldn’t only look at one piece – the landfill – and say it is the sole reason for the need for improvements when there are other contributing factors as well, he said. “Yes, we did look at that area because of what Sen. Hanger asked. We did meet his request. But we didn’t just say this is information on the landfill only. We looked at everything in that area,” he said.

Wyatt Lowe makes First Team All-Metro By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHTAN -- Wyatt Lowe was at the gym when his head varsity football coach Mike Henderson called him to let him know that he had been named to First Team on the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s prestigious All-Metro Football team for linebacker. “I was excited – it meant to me that all the hard work is definitely starting to pay off and people see what it takes,” said Lowe, a rising senior at Powhatan High School. “I was definitely glad.” Lowe, described by the Times-Dispatch as a “physical, downhill run-stopper and pass rusher,” delivered 65 tackles (35 unassisted) in the six-game 2021 regular season and also had two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He even scored a rushing touchdown at fullback in Powhatan’s season-opening 16-0 win over L.C. Bird. He had 15 tackles in that one game alone, and that was in his debut at the
linebacker position. “I think it was a good change, I definitely wanted to do that – I would’ve been happy playing wherever. It doesn’t matter to me, as long as I can play the game,” Lowe said, “but it’s been better – I think I can be a better contributor because I can move laterally and make plays all along the field and not just at D-tackle on the inside and on the edge… I think I can be a bigger contributor during the game at linebacker.” Before this spring, Lowe had played on the defensive line his first two years and made Second Team All-Region at lineman his sophomore year. He has played in every game for the Indians since his freshman season – a feat that, for him, comes down to work ethic – to the willingness to get up early and work out and do what is needed.

With monster rally, Post 201 overtakes 125 11-10 By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

POWHATAN -- The American Legion Post 201 Seniors had already shown earlier in the week that they could rally out of a big deficit and challenge for the win. Only this time, with an even steeper hill to climb, the Seniors reached the summit. After falling behind 10-1 after fourand-a-half innings, Post 201 caught fire across the final three frames of Friday’s home game to unleash 10 runs

With his team down 6-1, Lovasz smashed the pitch over the STONE TALLEY right-center fence for a three-run home run, slashing the Bucs’ lead to WHAT THEY DID: 6-4. After Lovasz’ teammate Ethan Lovasz and Talley each rocked a Smith lasered a high-flying 2-2 pitch two-out home run in the sixth inning to tie the American Legion Post 201 Seniors into shallow left field for a base hit, Talley golfed the game-tying two-run with the visiting Post 284 Bucs at 6-6 and force extra innings in last Tuesday’s homer over the left-center fence.

Earlier in the game, Lovasz sparked two 5-4-3 double plays: one in the second inning with second baseman Jacob Barbour and first baseman Christian Chambers both in on the play, and one in the sixth in which Lovasz snatched up a hard-hit groundball and zipped it to second baseman Talley, who completed the double play with the throw to Chambers at first.

sity volleyball coach Cindy Bryant, “and we’re really thankful that Powhatan has this new facility here at the Landmark Center that we can get in and play.” In her first year at Momentum, Amelia County volleyball player Emma Caudill during a camp on Thursday spoke to really enjoying the environment. “I think the girls are a great group of girls,” Caudill said, “and I’ll definitely be returning.” “I like the energy that everyone brings,” added Powhatan County player Colby Wright, who was attending her second camp in her first year at Momentum, “and all the spirit.” To Bryant, seeing the strong number of local players is so exciting, because when Momentum started six years ago, the club’s vision, she said, was that “you didn’t have to travel to the city to play quality volleyball – that you could stay in the rural county and we could provide you with the opportunity.” In addition to the players who have come to the program from nearby, Bryant said they do have athletes from Richmond who sometimes come to Momentum.

and walk-off 11-10 over Post 125 for its first win of the season. The triumph built on Post 201’s efforts to come back from a 6-1 deficit on Tuesday and challenge Post 284 by tying the game at 6-6 on two home runs in the sixth and forcing extra innings before 284 pulled away in the ninth and won 12-9. Every game that Post 201 has played this season has been decided by 3 runs or less. Future College of William and Mary player Carter Lovasz batted 3 for 5 with 2 RBI and a run scored in Friday’s victory and delivered the gamewinning single to bring home James Madison University player Christian Chambers. The lead-off batter for Post 201, Chambers batted 2 for 3 and scored 2 runs, including the game-

that’s kept him in every play on defense in every game, he pointed to power-related training, and to eating properly and drinking a lot of water. “I think the hydration and the good diet plays a big factor.” He attributed his contributions and All-Metro achievement to hard work – to his efforts in the offseason, in the gym – and to his teammates and his coaches. “I’ve had – all throughout since back when I started playing – I’ve had what I thought have been the best coaches that I could get – just the best guidance,” Lowe said. “Especially these last two years… Coach Henderson and Coach (Blake) Derby and all of the coaches, especially the defensive coaches, have just taught me the best that they can teach me.”
District tourneys conclude Staff Reports
Mechanicsville on June 27. The team assembled a 1-1 record for the day. Rumble finished its season with two runner-up finishes in six tournaments entered.
Powhatan Little League’s All-Star teams concluded play in the Virginia Little League District V tournaments at Powhatan County’s Fighting Creek Park in late June. The Junior All-Stars played two games against Tuckahoe American and
Ashland, concluding play on Monday. The Majors All-Stars won their first District 5 tournament game against Atlee, lost 5-2 to Tuckahoe, eliminated Atlee 13-12 and ended their run in a 4-0 loss to Tuckahoe American. This year marked the first time that Powhatan had hosted Virginia Little League District V tournaments.
“I like how people from all around come to this one camp, and you just get to see all these other people to get you ready for the high school season,” Wright said, “because it could be people that you’ve never played against and they could be really good and help you get better.” With Thursday’s five-hour all-skills camp, players from the Powhatan, Amelia, Goochland, Louisa counties and beyond reinforced their fundamentals and worked on every skill, from setting to hitting to playing defense, no matter their position on their travel, club or varsity team. Bryant pointed to the club’s focus on developing the whole player and not specializing. “You have to kind of specialize on your competition court with schools… we understand that,” Bryant said, “but training-wise, we think it’s really positive to keep athletes playing every position and learning every skill; it makes them more well-rounded...” Brown described how she went from playing at the middle position to setter to right side hitter because of Coach Cindy Bryant. “And I really appreciate that,” Brown said, adding that Momentum has helped her mentally. “I was really quiet, and she really helped bring out my talking on the
court,” Brown said of Coach Bryant, “which really helps you all-around in volleyball and life.” “Communication’s a very important skill to have in volleyball – it’s a mental game – and I think that, definitely, I got that from this camp,” Caudill said. “She definitely works on making sure the team plays as a team, and you focus on your attitude as well,” Phoebe Heath, who is from Colonial Heights, added of Coach Bryant. At the camp, Wright spoke to “definitely seeing all the joy that you get when you get a point – or if someone messes up, everyone goes out and helps them; it’s really nice.” “Whenever you have people that you can feel like you’re family around” – Caudill said – “I feel like it makes you a way better player.” Momentum has held clinics and camps for the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels so far this year and will close out the summer stretch in late July with a middle school and JV prep camp as well as an upper-level JV/varsity prep camp to help the girls get ready for team tryouts in August. The Club’s staff includes Bryant, Brad Russell and Jason Musick and will also include Powhatan varsity volleyball assistant coach Doug Gagnon, who will help coach one of Momen-
tum’s travel teams. “I can’t explain the joy that we feel to be back on the court,” Bryant said. “I think the players are excited as well.” “I think the coaches being passionate about it, too, really helps me like it more,” Heath added. One of Momentum’s core philosophies is positively impacting every player that the coaches meet every single day. “That’s huge – it’s a huge task, but our goal is to do that, to make a point of – seeing the player with a long face – and really reach out to her and figure out why and try to get a smile before she leaves our gym that day,” Bryant said. “And sometimes heavy life stuff is going on in girls’ lives and you can’t produce a smile, but the impact of reaching out and following up when tough life stuff is going on, I think that’s one thing that Momentum has become known for through the years.” Bryant emphasized the importance of “just really trying to let the players know that they’re loved and cared for, not just on our court…that we care for their lives, not just their athletic skills.” “I really think Cindy…helps you personally and not just winning,” Brown said of Coach Bryant. “I think her main goal is to make you the best person you can be on the court and off the court.”
winner. Kendrick Sheffield batted 2 for 4 with an RBI, hit a double and scored a run. Ethan Robinson batted 1 for 1 with an RBI and scored twice. Carter Dawson hit the game-tying single in the bottom of the seventh against two outs with two strikes on him. After Post 125 scored 5 runs in the top of the fifth, Post 201 responded with 4 of its own in the bottom halfinning. Robinson, Jack Carris and Dawson all scored on wild pitches, and Lovasz singled to center field to plate Chambers and help tighten 125’s lead to 10-5. 201 pitchers Jacob Barbour and Ethan Smith capitalized on their team’s momentum by shutting down 125’s offense. In the top of the sixth, the two pitchers combined to strike out the side in order, with Smith stepping onto the mound to get the last out. Post 201 built on three consecutive
hits in the bottom of the sixth to score a run off of Thomas Robinson putting a pop-fly into play and 125 committing an error on the attempt to get the out. Sheffield scored on the error, shrinking 125’s advantage to 10-6 going into the final inning. Smith stayed hot on the hill in the top of the seventh, retiring the side in 8 pitches and striking out two. From there, Post 201 went off in the last half-inning of regulation. Lovasz reached base on his second single of the night, Smith drove him to third by reaching base on a fielder’s error and Lovasz came home on a passed ball. Smith scored on a wild pitch, and Sheffield grounded out, but brought home Jacob Barbour on his sacrifice, slashing 125’s lead down to 10-9. Facing 2 outs, Dawson caught hold of a 1-2 pitch and sailed it to the outfield, bringing home Ethan Robinson to tie the game. Thomas Robinson then took a hit
by pitch, loading the bases and bringing Lovasz to the plate for the second time in the half-inning alone. Lovasz seized the first pitch thrown to him and drilled it to left field, plating Chambers - who had reached base in the inning on a walk - and securing the walk-off triumph for Post 201. In last Tuesday’s loss to Post 284, Lovasz batted 2 for 3 with a 3-run home run, scored once and walked twice. Powhatan High School graduate Stone Talley batted 2 for 4 with a 2-run home run and scored twice. Carter Dawson batted 2 for 6 with 2 RBI and scored twice. Jack Carris also scored twice. The Tuesday prior, Post 201 took an 8-5 setback to Post 137. For 201, Barbour batted 2 for 4 with 2 RBI, a triple, a double and a run scored. Post 201 is currently slated to play at Post 284 at Shepherd Stadium on Thursday at 7 p.m. and at Post 280 on Sunday at 3 p.m.
Lowe has been playing the game since flag football when he was around 7 years old. A lot of the players he met back then and has grown up with are now his teammates on varsity. “We have a unique bond for sure,” he said. Those friendships and bonds he created with his teammates have been a key part of his journey and his love for the game. Football taught him a lot of lessons about life – the importance of not giving up, of hard work. “Hard work pays off.” He shares the honor of starting in every Powhatan varsity football game since freshman year with his longtime teammate, fellow linebacker and rising senior Chase Gayness, who was one of four Powhatan varsity football players to receive Honorable Mention on this year’s All-Metro football team.
“He has been my brother since flag back when I started,” Lowe said. “Chase and I at linebacker are just in sync back there, and it’s just because we have played together for so long, and we just have a great bond…we’re watching film all week and we’re meeting up after school watching film and just studying it, asking each other questions and talking to Coach Derby about all those things, and it means a lot to be there with Chase.” Also receiving Honorable Mention from Powhatan were JaySun Carroll (defensive back), University of North Carolina Pembroke signee Bradey Lindhjem (offensive line) and Tanner Palmore (offensive line). Carroll has received offers from several schools including Division I schools Norfolk State University and the Virginia Military Institute. Palmore received an offer
from Hampden-Sydney College in June. Carroll, Gayness, Lindhjem, Lowe and Palmore all helped a Powhatan football team that was stacked with depth and talent achieve a winning record of 4-2 in the condensed 2021 season. “I was just glad we got to play some games – I know a lot of people didn’t get to play,” Lowe said. “I’m looking forward to the 10-game season coming up.” For Lowe, his All-Metro First Team honor pushes him to really show people that the award was not for nothing. “They’re not just throwing awards out there – it’s really: I want to come out this season and show people that I really am a First Team All-Metro guy,” Lowe said. “I’m excited.” As for this coming season, he added of his Powhatan football team: “We’re coming to earn our respect this year for sure.”
