PCPS makes masks optional in school buildings Federal mandate means coverings required on bus By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – Powhatan County Public Schools (PCPS) recently released guidance for the start of the 2021-2022 school year that includes masks being optional in school buildings but not on the bus, continued health and safety measures, and a loosening of restrictions on students and visitors. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, sent a notice to PCPS families on July 27 to update them on the plan staff created based on the updated school opening guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, the Virginia Department of Health, and the Virginia Department of Education.
Jones noted that all executive orders from the state have expired so “decisions around mitigation efforts are primarily a local decision based upon health metrics in the locality and the collective strategies schools employ to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among unvaccinated students and staff.” Jones said in a separate interview that it feels good to have those decisions back at the local level with the school board, staff, and parents. It is something he has lobbied for at the state level for months, he added. “Virginia is a large commonwealth that is very different when you move from locality to locality, and I think our school divisions represent our communities,” he said. “To be able to make a decision that we feel is best in our community is empowering. I think it acknowledges the fact that every locality is different – not just in its makeup but also what its health metrics are and how it is doing in mitigating the spread of COVID-19.” According to the school division’s plan, masks will be optional for students and staff with those wishing
to wear masks indoors allowed to do so. The school division is still encouraging people who are not vaccinated to strongly consider wearing a mask indoors when social distancing cannot be met. While masks aren’t required in the schools, a federal mandate to wear masks while using public transportation is still in effect, which applies to school buses, Jones said. Until the order expires, all students and staff will be required to wear masks while on a school bus, van, or car. However, social distancing requirements on school buses have expired, and the school division is returning to normal passenger capacity. Jones added that if there are medical concerns, families may contact the transportation department. PCPS will continue to socially distance students in the classroom to the extent possible, but small group instruction and collaboration between students will return and be implemented when possible by teachers, Jones said. Students will also be allowed to eat see PCPS, pg. 8

Grant funding for teachers returns in fall By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – Powhatan County educators will have the chance to enrich their classroom offerings and help their students when needed thanks to the return of two new grant sources for the 20212022 school year. Every Powhatan County Public Schools (PCPS) teacher, librarian, and counselor will once again receive a $1,000 individualized grant to spend on their classroom or their students in the coming school year, according to Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent. Jones recently sent an email to school staff informing them that for the third year in a row, Bob and Karla Curtis would be donating enough funds for each of them to have $1,000 to spend on items they needed. The couple donated $367,000 this year to fund the project. For a profession that is notorious for teachers taking money out of their own pockets to pay for special supplies they want or to help a student who is lacking something, having this resource available to them is a huge benefit for Powhatan, Jones said. “My hope is that it relieves some stress on our teachers’ part that allows them to focus on what their classroom needs are without taking it out of their own pocketbook. I also hope that it continues to support our students who need it the most with some direct benefit to them,” he said. see GRANTS, pg. 5

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors was split and the community outspoken about a symbolic medical freedom resolution that failed to pass at a recent meeting. During the board’s meeting on Monday, July 26, the First Amendment and Medical Freedom Resolution caused tension among supervisors and community members and ultimately failed to pass in a 3-2 vote. David Williams, who represents District 1; Tom Berry, District 2, and Bill Cox, District 4, voted against passing the resolution. Chairwoman Karin Carmack, District 5, and Mike Byerly, District 3, voted for it. Byerly introduced the resolution, which is primarily symbolic in na-
ture in its intent but stated the board’s support of the right of people to refuse to receive a vaccination on the grounds of religious liberty should it ever be mandated. “I believe wholeheartedly that you have the right to decline the vaccination should it ever be mandated. It is not mandated right now, but I will tell you something else, I don’t change the oil in my truck after the motor blows up either,” Byerly said. The resolution seemed to be widely supported by those in attendance. Of the 18 people who spoke in the first public comment period, 15 spoke directly in support of the resolution, many praising Byerly for presenting it and promising other board members there would be consequences if they didn’t pass it.
It was a passionate issue for many, with several vocal outbursts among audience members during the board discussion, and, when the only two people who spoke against the resolution or Byerly’s recent involvement in the critical race theory issue left before the meeting was over, there were jeers from some audience members. At the heart of the debate the board members had was the intent of the resolution. Byerly stressed it was a resolution and not a law or ordinance, and Carmack echoed that sentiment, saying “all it is is affirming our commitment to the First Amendment and medical freedom.” But the very symbolic nature of the resolution and what it was or wasn’t purporting to do was itself a bone of contention see MEDICAL pg. 4

Board denies rezoning application of existing wrecker business By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors was split in a decision last week to deny the rezoning and conditional use permit applications of a wrecker service that has been operating in Powhatan for about six years. During the board’s meeting on Monday, July 26, the supervisors reviewed applications submitted by James Sumrell III, who operates a wrecker business in the 4000 block of Maidens Road. Sumrell applied to rezone his 4.665-acre property from General Commercial to Crossroads and also applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to permit an automotive wrecker service in the crossroads zoning district. The board denied both applications in a 3-2 vote. David Williams, who represents District 1; Tom Berry, District 2, and Bill Cox, District 4, voted against the two applications. Chairwoman Karin Carmack, District 5, and Mike Byerly, District 3, voted for them. Alyson Oliver, planner II, said Sumrell applied for a business license from the county a few years ago and was denied because it was not a permitted use in the General Commercial zoning district. He was told he could come back when he was ready to seek a rezoning, which he did. Questions were raised by board members about why a more intense use was being proposed in a transition district and briefly about his request for a waiv-
er since the entrance to his business does not meet access management standards. Carmack argued for approving the applications, saying Sumrell was never notified in writing that he was in violation by operating for several years without a license and that, as a nearby neighbor, she has seen minimal impact on the area from his business, and none of the neighbors object to it. The board still voted 3-2 to deny the rezoning and the CUP applications. Other business handled at the meeting included: Firefly Broadband update – Firefly Broadband President and CEO Gary Wood gave a brief presentation about efforts his company is making to increase broadband coverage in Powhatan County. Wood said he will be returning in August to ask the supervisors to commit to the estimated $10 million broadband project (the county would be asked to contribute roughly $2.8 million). If the county is willing to help out, Wood said the three-year project may be able to start as early as this year, which would mean finishing early as well. Firefly is also seeking $2.3 million in Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) funding. The board unanimously approved a request to rezone 7.89 acres in the 1700 block of Anderson Highway to Light Industrial with proffered conditions. Timbercreek Building and Design LLC proposed the project, which would involve office and warehouse space (approximately 22,800 square feet)

successfully secured as part of a House-passed fiscal year (FY) 2022 appropriations package — would support a new trail connecting Powhatan Middle School and Powhatan Elementary School with key points in Powhatan, including the public library, YMCA, Fighting Creek Park, and the county’s existing 3-mile trail network. The new half-mile walking/running trail would provide walkable connections to important amenities, increase access and mobility for Powhatan residents, and create new opportunities for fitness and recreation. “As we rebuild from the COVID-19 pandemic and look to make our communities healthier and more resilient, we should be seeking smart and responsible places to invest in recreational opportunities. After hearing directly from Powhatan leaders, I am proud to have successfully secured funding for the Education Connection Trail in this appropriations package,” said Spanberger. “Today, I would like to thank the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors for their commitment to their community and their recognition of the importance of accessible outdoors spaces, fitness opportunities, and making travel easier and safer
for Powhatan students. I will keep working to move this funding through Congress, and I look forward to finding additional, innovative ways to make sure more Virginians can enjoy our region’s trail systems and parks.” The FY 2022 appropriations package now goes to the U.S. Senate for further consideration. Powhatan County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Karin Carmack said the Education Connection Trail project will help link several of Powhatan’s greatest assets, notably the county’s outdoor public spaces and the school system. “With this project, Fighting Creek Park, including its trails and playgrounds, as well as the YMCA and Powhatan Library, will be connected to Powhatan Elementary and Middle Schools. The citizens of Powhatan County have said outdoor recreation, and trails specifically are a top priority, so we welcome this investment in our community to help further expand the public’s access to our natural outdoors,” she said. County administrator Ned Smither said the trail project has been a vision for the county since 2019. Staff developed it and applied to the Department of Conservation and Recreation’s Recreational Trails Program, but the project was turned down
Community Life Church has announced it will host the fifth annual Operation School Supplies for the 20212022 school year. The event gives free school supplies (everything on their school supply list and a brand new backpack) to all PCPS students whose families qualify for the income guidelines. Families must register at https://forms.gle/K2Jgqxxk2LWyNaA67 by Aug. 10 to guarantee availability. Once each family has been approved, they will receive an email with detailed information on how to order shoes for their children from Blessed Soles. Pick up date will be listed in your pick up confirmation email. The date will be one day in September at the church, 2410 New Dorset Circle. As most of our community is aware this is one of the busiest times of the year. This year the church is asking for 10 volunteers from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Aug. 13 to set up and pack backpacks and 18 volunteers from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Aug. 14 at the church. As a slight change this year, all volunteers must be over the age of 18 and NOT a student of Powhatan County Public Schools. Volunteer signup can be found at https://www. signupgenius.com/go/5080e44abaf23a2f94-operation1. If you have any questions message organizers on Facebook, text them at 804-303-6431, or email communitylife4u@gmail.com. as it was a highly competitive program with relatively little funding. This year, the U.S. House of Representatives implemented a new effort as part of its annual appropriations process, which allowed for specific community project funding requests — like the Education Connection Trail. Spanberger worked directly with community leaders in all 10 counties of the Seventh District to gather community-focused requests for her submissions. The Community Project Funding process was created to ensure that members of Congress, in concert with the communities they represent, may submit direct applications for federal funding to support locally planned projects as part of the yearly appropriations process. To be eligible, projects must be sponsored by local or state government entities or nonprofit organizations and must be projects that would otherwise meet the qualifications to apply for federal grant funding. The purpose of Community Project Funding is to ensure direct, local engagement as part of the federal appropriations process. In line with this goal, funding applications must demonstrate significant local support for the projects. The public has made it clear that expanding the walking trails is a priority
in the area of parks and recreation, so suggesting this trail project was a logical choice for Powhatan’s entry, Smither said. The project would be half a mile long and 8 feet wide and have a life expectancy of 25 years. It would be constructed of compacted gravel that would be 6 inches deep.
facing the highway and a self-service storage facility (approximately 22,500 square feet) behind it. For comparison, staff pointed out in the report that Goodwill’s retail building is 15,620 square feet. Timbercreek’s property will have a single entrance from Anderson Highway and will have to adhere to the county’s development standards. The board unanimously approved an application by Goodwyn LLC to rezone parcels totaling 15.41 acres located northeast of the intersection of Anderson Highway and Skaggs Road from Commerce Center to Agricultural-10. The applicant plans to market the property for single-family residential use, which is not permitted within the Commerce Center zoning district. The applicant cited topography that makes it unattractive for commercial development, including two intermittent streams and 27.7% of the land being covered in steep slopes. Most of the board discussion centered around the need for a new driveway on Anderson Highway, which was unavoidable since the land does not directly touch any other roads. The board unanimously approved a CUP application from Alexcia Yellis to allow a detached accessory dwelling unit on a property in 2000 block of Walnut Tree Court in western Powhatan. The applicant plans to construct a 704-square-foot dwelling on the subject property. The board approved the CUP but not see BOARD, pg. 5

for the other three supervisors. They repeatedly questioned what action the resolution was calling for or committing the board to do. And if it wasn’t doing anything, they argued, what is the point of it? The resolution The resolution starts by quoting the rights guaranteed under the First Amendment and the U.S. Constitution Article 1, Sections 1 and 16. The local angle began with the statements that Powhatan residents “wish to maintain a state of religious liberty, especially as it pertains to an individual’s acceptance of medical treatment” and stating the board of supervisors’ “deep commitment to the freedoms enumerated in the Bill of Rights; including the rights of all citizens of
Powhatan County to engage in commerce for the financial support of themselves and their families.” The resolution expresses the board’s opposition to any order or law that would unconstitutionally restrict the rights of citizens. It also specifically voices concern about “the passage of any bill containing language which could be interpreted as infringing the rights of the citizens of Powhatan County to express their religious liberty as it pertains to vaccination preference.” All of these statements lead up to a list of six clauses that express the board’s intent to uphold the First Amendment and other clearly established rights; not to allow funds to be used to restrict the First Amendment and those clearly established rights, and asks the sheriff not to enforce an unconstitutional

order. It declares the board’s intent to oppose “any infringement on the right of law-abiding citizens to preserve the right to decline medical products based on religious beliefs using such legal means as may be expedient.” It commits to saying no “Powhatan County employees, government funds, resources, agencies, contractors, buildings, detention centers, or offices may be used for the purpose of enforcing laws that unconstitutionally infringe on the Bill of Rights and other clearly established rights of the People.” It also says that county employees may not assist in or promote the enforcement of Executive Orders that limit those established rights. Board comments After Byerly finished reading the resolution and stated his intention of supporting it, Berry was the first to voice opposition. He said that he believes in supporting the U.S. Constitution and the Virginia Constitution and supports medical choice. However, he said the resolution appears to charge the supervisors with determining what is constitutional, “and that is not a job, in my belief, that we should be involved with. That is a piece for the court to decide.” Cox tried to ask Byerly some pointed questions about the origin of the resolution and the need for the resolution, to which Byerly declined to comment, saying only he stood by what the resolution says. Cox then argued that those who do not want to have a vaccine or to have their children vaccinated

have the right to seek a religious exemption already. “This is a resolution in search of a problem and it doesn’t answer the problem,” he said. Williams spoke at length about the resolution, saying he wanted to understand the document before he voted on it. He said he was afraid residents who heard the board passed this resolution would be confused about what it actually does. He said he already took an oath not to carry forward any unconstitutional order or support any unconstitutional law. He questioned the meaning of the clauses and if they are “weaponizing employees.” He also questioned how effective the county can be in resolving the actual problems people are facing with a resolution like this. He said he shared the residents’ concerns and added that if this resolution is just a gesture, he would rather do something substantive. “I would like to do something that will make a difference and will give some people some real confidence that we have a real plan in place where we want to do something to counteract what is going on today,” he said. The board began arguing about what actions are called for in the resolution and finally asked Tom Lacheney, county attorney, to weigh in on the legalities. Lacheney said it is an “aspirational state of support for the rights of the citizens of Powhatan.” He said all of the statements of intent are describing supporting things that are actions already required by law. The board argued for
a few more minutes before Byerly’s motion to pass the resolution was voted on and failed 3-2 against. Community support The community support for the resolution was obvious but not unanimous. The two people who didn’t speak in support of the resolution directed more of their comments at Byerly’s intentions than the resolution itself. Rebecca Courtright called the resolution a “nonsensical medical freedom proclamation that directs Powhatan employees, including law enforcement, to not uphold laws regarding vaccines – laws that don’t even exist.” She called Byerly’s recent rhetoric inflammatory and divisive. Bob Kelly focused his comments on supporting educators, referring to the recent outcry about critical race theory, and criticized Byerly specifically but not the medical freedom resolution. After they spoke, the 15 people that followed talked passionately about preserving their right to medical freedom. Terri Stratton talked about the loss of rights when people allow them to be infringed on little by little over time. She pointed to examples during the pandemic where people were not allowed to do things such as visit family members, operate a business, go to work, attend school, or not have an elective surgery, all leading up to vaccines being pushed on people. “It’s just about time we all stood up and said no more and never again. Our government has been over stepping and over
reaching for too long, and too many have just so willingly handed over their freedoms and Godgiven rights and accepted it, all over a virus with a 99.X% survival rate, depending on your age, with therapeutics that cure it,” she said. Jaqueline Anderson talked about Powhatan residents believing in individual freedom and personal responsibility. She said they want to make their medical decisions after careful consultation with medical providers, not having them dictated by political appointees. Joe Ordia said this is the “fundamental civil rights issue of our generation” and that passing the resolution would be a large victory for civil rights in Powhatan. He argued that those who choose to exercise their religious liberty in their vaccination preference should not have their civil rights violated. While he acknowledged the resolution is purely symbolic, he said the board’s vote would send a message to Powhatan residents that “your government is listening to you.” Other people urging the supervisors to pass the resolution talked about: fears about the overstep of a door-todoor outreach trying to get people to be vaccinated; preserving the right to determine what is in our own medical best interest; being afraid elected officials are not acting in citizens’ best interests; wanting the supervisors to represent the conservative religious voters; thanking Byerly for his efforts, and pointing out the COVID-19 vaccinations that are currently available are still not FDA approved.

GRANTS Continued from pg. 1
Jones also announced that the Powhatan Education Foundation would once again be offering the Classroom Innovation Grants. Teachers can create special project proposals to submit to the foundation, which chooses several to fund. The foundation took a hiatus from the grants last year both because of the COVID restrictions and because of the lack of opportunity to fundraise, said Holly Smith, president of the foundation. With the return of a more normal school year, the grants are back and will hopefully enrich students’ educational experience through specific projects or initiatives that expand on and complement the established curriculum. “Any time you support a teacher’s passion or a group of teachers’ passion, that enthusiasm is passed onto students and the students are just that much more receptive to the concepts,” Smith said. “They enter into that enthusiasm with the teachers. That is a really great thing about the grants. There is such ownership involved. This is what we came up with and we can make an exciting and beneficial learning experience.” Curtis grants In the past two years the Curtis grants have been offered, Powhatan teachers, counselors, and librarians have served a great deal of needs that are hard to encapsulate, Jones said. As just a sampling, at Powhatan Middle School, the music department purchased string instruments to support the growing orchestra program; the math department purchased tablets to use for instruction enhancement; the history and English departments purchased classroom book and magazine sets to engage students in reading with hard copy materials, and counselors purchased additional items for the mindful room and their offices. Funds were also used throughout the year by all teachers for direct student support with supplies, materials, snacks, and even holiday presents for a few students. At Powhatan High School, physical education teachers purchased additional workout equipment so that students did not have to share as much equipment and students could be further spaced apart; special education teachers purchased take-home learning kits and manipulatives for math and science classes for students; funds were used to help with fees related to SATs, graduation, classroom books in English; sending students to competition and conferences; help fund the Robotics Team, and expand physics offerings and equipment. Dr. Mike Massa, principal, said he did not think the school would have had the successes it

did during the last school year without the Curtis grants. “In a year that did not see us have as much of an activity fund or collection of student fees, we were able to continue to offer students innovative, engaging instruction, and offer students support during an unprecedented time due to support of our school board and superintendent, and the generosity of the Curtis Fund,” he said. “We used our funds for as many needs as possible, but the ability to move further due to the money from the Curtis family (is) a true gift and difference-maker to our school community.” Some examples of how funds were used at the elementary level include purchasing individual lap desks and basic supplies in kindergarten, wiggle stools, floor cushions, easels for small group teaching, flashcards, phonics poems, hourglass timers, bubbles, room transformation kits for “in-house” field trips, sidewalk chalk, art supplies, chair pockets, recorders for fourth grade, electronic drawing tablets, yoga balls, and more. Teachers have a difficult job, and it was even harder in the last year and a half with the pandemic, Karla Curtis said. When she and her husband saw the list of how funds were used in the last two years by educators to help their students, they knew they wanted to make sure they had that resource again. “It is all things that are helping the teachers be better teachers and provide more opportunities and resources for the kids,” she said. “We are very focused on the school as one of the key places in the county that supports the next generation and the teachers are on the front lines every day working with kids. Supporting the teachers and doing scholarships at the high school is definitely something we want to continue over the next few years.” Curtis added that she and her husband hope teachers will take the grant as a continued message that they are critical to the success of future generations. Classroom Innovation Grants The Classroom Innovation Grants began during the 2015-2016 year under a different name and offering $7,000 in funding teachers could apply for to fund special projects, Smith said. Over the next three years, the foundation was able to increase the amount to $15,000 in grants, and during the 2019-2020 school year, it doubled to $30,000. While the amount for 2021-2022 has yet to be determined, Smith said she is excited to see what creative projects the teachers submit for consideration. “I think that any time that we can support teachers and the broader faculty in any way it is a win-win situation, but especially after the past year with the challenges of COVID. It is great to have a

the applicants request to add a second driveway for the new dwelling. After a closed session, the board of supervisors came out and voted unanimously on two salary increases. County administrator Ned Smither’s salary was increased by 5%, or $8,250, to a new salary of $173,250. County attorney Tom Lacheney’s annual contract salary was increased by $14,000 to $134,000. He said this was his first increase since he began his contract with the county in 2013. The board unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included a resolution to amend the fiscal year (FY) 2021 Operating Budget to appropriate $30,000 for the Administration Building Painting and $47,000 for easement and plant clearing; approving a memorandum of understanding between Powhatan County and the Central Virginia Transportation Authority regarding distribution and use of funds, and received a document showing the treasurer’s accountability fund.

focus and something to really throw their energy and passion into. PEF is thrilled to be able to support them in that way,” Smith said. Smith added that she was excited to see the Curtis grants back again this year and pointd out that teachers who apply for the Classroom Innovation Grants can propose combining the two funds to create larger projects. Jones said he was pleased to see the foundation bring back the grants this year because he knows the awards received in the past have been seeds that have grown to some outstanding and innovative projects in Powhatan schools. “I think it motivates them. Teachers by nature are creative people, and this just kind of motivates them to be creative and to try something new. It is certainly a quality we encourage in Powhatan,” Jones said. “We want to continue growing and developing. These grants are an opportunity for teachers to collaborate with one another and to create projects that kind of lead the way in terms of what we want to see in our classroom.”

Cumberland County Cumberland makes masks optional for new school year Staff Report CUMBERLAND – Cumberland County Public Schools’ Return to Learning Plan will offer students and staff the option of not wearing masks in school buildings this fall but will require them to be worn while riding a school bus or in a school-owned vehicle. Dr. Chip Jones, superintendent, sent a letter to families on July 29 detailing the school division’s plan for the 2021-2022 school year, which will operate with a normal five-day, in-person school week. Governor Ralph Northam has announced that localities would be responsible for setting policies for face coverings in schools, Jones wrote. The identification of positive COVID-19 cases in Cumberland County remains low, but since this could change at any time, the school division will implement a three-tiered system for the new year. Tier 1 – When Cumberland County Public Schools (CCPS) starts school on Aug. 9, it will begin in Tier 1. In this tier, masks in school buildings will be optional, although they are recommended by the Centers for Disease Control for those who are not vaccinated and for children too young to be vaccinated. Federal law still requires face coverings on school buses. Under Tier 1, the division will continue to implement mitigation strategies, including encouraging hand hygiene, frequently sanitizing high-traffic areas, providing alternative grouping and scheduling, and social distancing to maintain the 3-foot minimum distance as
much as possible with everyone returning to school. Parents will still be asked to screen their children at home and to keep students who exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 at home. The division will continue to quarantine students and to contract trace, which could result in the quarantining of close contacts who have not been vaccinated. Tier 2 – If case counts start to rise in the locality or there are incidents of the virus in the schools, additional mitigation strategies will be added. This may include a potential return to the mask mandate for certain schools. The division will continue to quarantine students and to contact trace. This could result in the quarantining of close contacts who have not been vaccinated. The division will engage in deep cleaning as often as possible, especially of many rooms or areas where COVID-19 cases have occurred. Tier 3 – If numerous cases of COVID-19 are identified, this will mean a return to daily temperature checks at school, an increase in social distancing to the greatest extent possible, a potential mask mandate divisionwide, the re-institution of the “no visitor” rule, and more frequent cleaning and sanitizing. In the extreme, this may require a return to a hybrid schedule or to all remote learning. The division has other plans in place for the upcoming school year.

Library receives technology grant Contributed Report Cumberland County Public Library announced on July 28 that it was awarded a 2021 Digital Inclusion Grant from Kajeet, a leading provider of wireless connectivity, software and hardware solutions that deliver safe, reliable and controlled internet connectivity to enterprises, state and local governments, students and IoT solution providers. Open to U.S. K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, public libraries, education and career nonprofits and municipalities, the grant provides one year of free Kajeet internet connectivity hardware and managed service on Kajeet’s award-winning mobile connectivity platform, Sentinel. “The library is excited to be able to offer Kajeet SmartSpot units to our patrons beginning this fall,” says Library Director Lisa Davis. “We are
working on the lending policy and learning to use the company’s user interface. Once the units are in and cataloged, the library will begin circulating them to help with the Internet connectivity issues in the area.” “Millions of American households today still lack adequate internet access, excluding them from essential online services and opportunities,” said Daniel J. W. Neal, chairman, CEO and founder of Kajeet. “Kajeet’s aim with the 2021 Digital Inclusion Grant program is to support equity-focused organizations in their efforts to close the digital divide in the communities they serve. We’re pleased to name Cumberland County Public Library a 2021 Digital Inclusion Grant winner and work with them to enable a more equitable future.” The 2021 Kajeet Digital Inclusion Grant seeks to help organizations provide members of their commu-
nity with safe, reliable access to remote learning, telehealth services and other vital online resources. Grant awardees were selected by an independent panel of judges. This year, 85 organizations were selected from over 150 entries and will receive a pilot program with the Kajeet digital equity solution of their choice – Kajeet SmartBus, Kajeet SmartSpot or Kajeet Connect Prime. Each pilot program includes one year of free data on the network of choice and access to Kajeet’s device and data management portal, Sentinel. To find out more about the library’s hotspot lending program, you can stop by the library at 1539 Anderson Highway in Cumberland or email them at cumberlandlibraryva@gmail.com.

cess, and CCPS has a clear plan to provide intensive and strategic remediation, intervention, and support for students’ academic, social, and emotional needs. This began with a most robust Summer School Program in June, providing students with opportunities to participate in remediation, intervention, and credit recovery. The division also plans to hold after-school programs for the fall and spring to promote academic acceleration and enrichment. Transportation – Transportation remains a challenge and CCPS will continue to limit the flexibility for multiple stops and bus changes. Students will need to get on and off the bus at the same place because space on the bus is limited. Due to bus driver shortages and the need for social distancing, some bus drivers may need to make multiple runs. This could result in students arriving at school late or returning home late. Staff hopes that families will be patient until these issues have been resolved. They are reminded that, pursuant to federal law, students must continue to wear face coverings while on a school bus. Virtual learning – CCPS has decided to continue remote learning for students whose parents choose to keep them at home for good and sufficient reasons. Students will be using an online platform through Virtual Virginia. A main difference in this program is that local teaching staff will not be providing the instruction. This program maintains a much stricter class schedule, which students will be required to attend online.

Olympics offer inspiring stories of greatness By Laura McFarland Editor
T
he Olympics have always been about the stories for me. I have never made it a secret that I am not an avid sports fan, but there is something special about the Olympics that transcends that feeling of disinterest. With that said, I have friends who are glued to the TV during the games watching one race, routine, match, and exhibition after another. That is not me. I am more likely to look at the highlight stories, images, and videos from each day. By doing that, someone who isn’t going to sit through one race, routine, match, and exhibition after another still gets to see some pretty cool moments in sports history. And while I will always root for Team USA, I am fully aware that this is an international competition that will lead to great stories about competitors from all around the world. The video of Austria’s Anna Kiesenhofer crossing the finish line and collapsing in what looks like exhausted happiness (or hyperventilating) after winning the gold in the women’s road race final was awesome in itself. It was made even more amazing as I learned a little more about her. The independent cyclist competed in the Olympics without a team or any teammates in the race and was not considered a real contender based on the surprised announcers’ commentaries. In interviews after her victory, I loved how the mathematician and lecturer talked about planning her own road to the Olympics and being an unpredictable force in a race many people probably thought they had figured out. I loved reading the story about the Philippines’ Hidilyn Diaz becoming the first athlete from her country
to win gold at the Olympics by lifting a combined weight of 224 kilograms (my American brain needed context and had to convert it to 493.835 pounds) to take the top spot in the women’s 55-kg class. The article I read showed a video of her training by lifting huge water bottles during the lockdown and keeping a positive attitude through it. I hope she gets a hero’s welcome in her country when she returns. I will be honest and say I was unaware that skateboarding was now an Olympic sport (as is surfing) until I saw a story about two 13-year-olds taking the gold and silver in the competition: Momiji Nishiya of Japan and Rayssa Leal of Brazil, respectively. Having seen some examples of what I thought were truly epic skateboarding tricks in the past in person and on videos, I thought it was great to see the Olympics embracing this as a recognized sport, which will probably bring in a great deal of younger enthusiasts. But I will admit there was also something quite amusing to me about hearing the TV commentators describing the tricks using skateboarding lingo and imagining what it was like for them to prepare to commentate on this event for the first time. The USA women’s basketball team did the nation proud in Tokyo this year with the 3-on-3 team of Stefanie Dolson, Allisha Gray, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young winning gold in the event’s debut. While this column will be published too early to know who won the gold in the 5-on-5 event, the fact that the team’s first game of the tournament marked an Olympic winning streak of 50 games since 1992 is definitely something to acknowledge and celebrate. And while some may disagree because of the cost in the medal standings, I was actually really impressed with Simone Biles’ courage in withdrawing from the individual all-around gymnastics competition to focus on her mental and physical well-being. Is it nice
when the country brings home the gold medals? Absolutely. But sometimes I look at the incredible pressure these athletes are under and the attitude that it’s their job so they should just suck it up and compete and it is maddening. The cost of mistakes in a sports competition varies by the sport and injury is always a possibility. But when I think about what could go wrong while these gymnasts are literally hurtling through the air if they lose focus, it is alarming. The fact that Biles’ last event before her exit from the competition was the vault – one in which she didn’t execute the routine fully – of course brought to mind another famous vault. Say the name Kerri Strug and most that recognize it will think of the iconic vaults in the 1996 Olympics that saw the gymnast doing a second vault despite an obvious ankle injury. It was a great moment of perseverance and I would never want to diminish Strug’s accomplishment or her victory in that moment and her decision to compete while injured. To this day, watching clips of her backto-back vaults and the sheer determination written on her face as she ran toward that vault is breathtaking. But I also wonder how kind history would have been to her had the 18-year-old girl with torn ligaments in her leg decided to put her health before winning the gold? These athletes are more than the few minutes or even few hours they compete on the world stage. They have deeper stories, and we will never know all of the things they sacrificed to compete. But I am grateful we do get to hear some of those stories and learn about who these men, women, and, yes, children, are as human beings.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Academic excellence should be the priority of new school year
proper management of those taxpayer funds. Jacqueline Anderson Powhatan County
Dear Editor: The Powhatan County Public Schools Teaching and Learning 2021-2022 document that was emailed to parents on July 27 states that the initial focus will be on “socialemotional wellness.” This is misguided and a complete waste of time. Our students have already lost vital instructional time. The school system should focus on academics, not ideologies. Reading instruction should be prioritized because students who read well can learn anything they are interested in learning. Construction trades instruction should be prioritized so students will be able to build homes that are energy efficient. Music instruction should be prioritized because music increases brain functioning and can bring healing and unite people. Physical education instruction should be prioritized so our students will lead healthy lifestyles. History instruction should be prioritized so our students know facts, such as that President Abraham Lincoln, who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, was a Republican while President Franklin Roosevelt, who placed lawabiding Japanese Americans in internment camps, was a Democrat. Foreign language instruction should be prioritized so our students will be able to communicate with people from diverse cultures. Science instruction should be prioritized so that our students will be able to conduct medical research or develop blight resistant chestnut trees and so that they understand that viruses are small enough to pass through cloth. JROTC instruction should be prioritized so our students will be prepared to protect and defend the United States Constitution. Computer technology instruction should be prioritized so our students can design programs that my generation couldn’t even imagine. I apologize to the teachers whose subject areas I have not mentioned. Know that I do support your field of expertise as well. The focus of Powhatan County Public Schools needs to return to academic excellence in all subject areas. Most importantly, math instruction should be prioritized so our students realize that a system that annually spends over $48,000,000 and pays their superintendent more than $175,000 is not lacking in resources, but rather is lacking in
Divisiveness has put county’s good reputation on the line Dear Editor, I admit it. I am not from here. In 2019, my family researched all over the Richmond area and purposefully picked Powhatan as our new home. At the time, Powhatan was known for beautiful rural living but also had a thriving community and outstanding public schools. Powhatan was also known for its small businesses and generational farming. These are two factors that generate deep roots and a sense of belonging. When we moved, I made it a priority to get involved in our county. I have met many of our county’s leadership and civil servants. All my interactions made me genuinely believe Powhatan is a unique place to live. We have small government, but they are dedicated to their mission of sustaining and supporting our county. Our schools are top notch, employing some of the best teachers I have had the pleasure of meeting. Our businesses and nonprofits work together to support those in need. But recently, I have come to see a darker side of Powhatan. Ever since Mike Byerly’s May 3rd comments, our county government and school board meetings have been completely taken over with divisiveness, animosity, and misinformation. Our last school board meeting was on the local news for fighting about CRT. The front page of Powhatan Today, July 21st details resignations of Powhatan High School’s principal and a school board member. Even more upsetting - this is celebrated by some in our county. What damage will be done to our county’s reputation? What harm will be caused to our school staff and students? What effects will this have on property values? What pressing county business will be put off to hear more claims of CRT being taught with no proof? How many teachers will leave? And how much time will it take to repair our county’s reputation in the area as a loving rural community with access to good free education? I worry that if I was searching for a new home now, Powhatan would not be on my list. Rebecca L. Courtright Powhatan County

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 cost 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 804-556-4936.

Phase II Increased Mitigation includes measures such as stricter social distancing, more closely monitoring school programs and visitors in schools, trying to create more physical distance between children on school buses, and all students not eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine being required to wear a mask. Phase III Mitigation used 2020-2021 includes measures such as virtual options and limited in-person instruction, no visitors in the school, stricter social distancing, one student per seat on the bus when possible, limited athletics and extracurricular activities with physical distancing, and all students, faculty and staff required to wear a mask in the schools and on buses. There is a great deal of uncertainty, and the reason the school district released the three-phase plan is because it is a real possibility that they may have to move between them, Jones acknowledged. “We are hopeful that we will be able to stay in Phase I: New Normal for the 2021-2022 school year. All of us want a school experience that is positive and productive for our students. We need your help in following the mitigation measures that we have in place and taking the necessary steps to keep you and your family safe,” Jones said in the release. “We know that getting vaccinated is one of the best mitigation measures to prevent serious illness. Getting vaccinated will remain a personal decision for you and your family.”

Greenhow a national champ again! Powhatan track star earns Junior Olympics title in 200m dash By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor University of South Carolina rising freshman Anthony Greenhow became a two-time national champion within five months Anthony Greenhow, seen competing in the Virginia High School League outdoor state championships in June, has added his second national championship in five months. FILE/POWHATAN TODAY
when he traveled to Jacksonville, Florida and ran a blistering time of 21.23 on Sunday to win the men’s 17-18 200-meter dash at the USATF National Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships. He reached Sunday’s final with two quick runs on the two days prior. On Friday, Greenhow ran a 21.17 in the preliminaries to advance to the semifinals. On Saturday, he secured the No. 1 seed and a spot in the finals with a sprint of 21.15 in the semifinals. Greenhow, from Powhatan, has had a year to remember. Twelve days after he won his first Virginia High School League state championships in both the 55-meter and 300-meter indoor
dash events in Lynchburg this past March, he became a national champion when he won the men’s 17-18 200-meter dash at the AAU National Indoor Championships in Virginia Beach. He also set the meet record with a time of 21.52. In the Class 4 outdoor state championships this June, Greenhow set a new personal record and became the new state meet record holder across all VHSL classes with his state title-winning run of 10.37, then set the Class 4 meet record by winning the state championship in the 200 in 21.03 – also a personal record. Greenhow will compete on Division I University of South Carolina’s track and field team.

The Belles opened tournament play by edging past Amherst 4-3 with a walk-off double in the bottom of the seventh inning. In their next game, the Belles took a narrow loss to Brookneal, who narrowly won 8-7 by scoring a walk-off run in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Contributed Report Powhatan Middle School student-athletes Jessica McArtan and Brandon Campbell swam for the Brighton Green Swim Team at the Richmond Metro Aquatic League’s Champs meet at Swim RVA on July 21. Brighton Green was the RMAL Division C leader for the season and the RMAL Division C winner at the CHAMPS meet. McArtan and Campbell swam on the 200 yard medley relay team that earned sixth place (2:27.28). They also swam as part of a 200yard freestyle relay team. Campbell earned second place in the 200-yard individual medley event (1:20.58.) He also swam the 50-yard freestyle (30.48.) as well as the 50 breaststroke (42.65.) McArtan also swam the 50 free (35.78).
The Belles proceeded to rout Dinwiddie 23-9 in their first elimination game, but concluded their tournament in the next round with a loss to Amherst. Due to the double elimination bracket structure and the number of losses for each team, Powhatan finished the tournament as one of the two state runners-up. The Debs resoundingly bounced back from an opening-round loss to Lunenburg by routing Rustburg 21-3 in their first elimination game. The Debs concluded tournament play in a hard-fought battle as their opponent narrowly won 3-0.

Clayton described how they would text each other last year and say: We should be getting dressed right now to go play. Several of last year’s players came back to the team while others went up to the high school levels. This year, however, was not normal, either. The 2021 middle school season had been made to align with the Virginia High School League’s condensed 2021 spring season, which started and ended later than usual. There was also no postseason, and the 2021 regular season featured a total of just eight games. But the team embraced the opportunity to compete. And after Powhatan Middle School softball’s players and coaching staff lost all of last season, they never lost a game this year. They went undefeated (8-0) in 2021. “It was the greatest feeling ever,” Clayton said. “It was like a fulfillment that we were waiting for or we were missing… we would’ve liked to have a championship and played in a championship, but we were thankful to have an eight-game season, and actually to be able to play all games and know we didn’t have an issue with CO-

The unbeaten 2021 team Sixth graders: Kensley Blaska, Aaliyah Myers, Lila Robertson Seventh graders: Hannah Boyle, Mazie Harmon, DaZiya Henderson, Haylee Miller, Cassidy Moser, Brooklynn Narbut Eighth graders: Marissa Anderson, Reili Machotka, Olivia Snider, Kendra Turner-Gregory, Anna Tingle VID…it was a fulfillment that I think a lot of us were longing for, and to be undefeated only made it better.” Powhatan dominated its eight-game slate, winning its first seven games by 9 runs or more. In its closest game of the season – one that had been rescheduled due to COVID, and one that featured a new opponent in Fluvanna – Powhatan still left no doubt as it won that game 13-8. As the scores helped indicate, Powhatan Middle School Softball in 2021 was definitely a strong hitting team. The batting lineup was stacked with depth as it featured a talented core in sixth grader Aaliyah Myers, seventh graders Mazie Harmon, Brooklynn Narbut and Hannah Boyle and eighth graders Olivia Snider, Reili Machotka and Marissa Anderson. With so many strong hitters waiting to take their turn at the plate, opposing teams couldn’t just worry about and key in on only one or two consistently the Bass Fishing League level, and he’s taking home $135,000, including a $35,000 Phoenix Bonus. He edged out the total weight caught by runner-up Matthew Stefan by 1 pound, 12 inches. “That doesn’t happen,” Pike was quoted saying of his comefrom-behind win by Ostruszka. “I was blasting off today thinking it was a two-tournamenttype deal: How bad Joey was going to beat us by and who
strong spots in Powhatan’s batting order. The team’s depth also ensured that, if someone wasn’t having her best day, someone else in the lineup could pick her up. Powhatan’s standout hitting core was complemented by its talented pitching rotation, which was also stacked with depth. This year’s pitching staff featured Narbut, who was the starter, and eighth graders Marissa Anderson, Anna Tingle and Kendra Turner-Gregory. Clayton described how “every single one” of the players “knew their role on the team” and “did what they needed to do for the team, not as an individual.” “Every one of them, they supported each other. They would help them improve their game,” Clayton said. “It was just a unique group of girls.” While this particular season was condensed – Clayton wished that it was longer – and there were not only still COV-
ID-related restrictions like face masks and social distancing in place, but also the uncertainty of whether they would even play, and then for how long – Clayton said they “took every opportunity and made the best of it and enjoyed it.” “Because nobody knew whether we would get a game in,” Clayton said. “The prior season, we practiced for a month. This season, we had a week, so I had tryouts, and then the next Monday, we had a game. “It was a very quick, quick turnaround, but we were happy about it,” Clayton said, adding that her players “all missed it at the end; they knew that they were going to miss the group and the team and the practices.” Had they not gone unbeaten, Clayton said they still would’ve been thankful to have even been out there. “And so many teams that we played even said that, that it was just amazing to be back out on the field again, and for the girls to have this opportunity to play school ball and to represent their school.” To Clayton, this 2021 team was a special group of girls. “They worked hard for it. They definitely bonded together. They grew together as a team,” Clayton said. “They were always supportive of

People work their whole lives to try and get [one of those trophies], and I got lucky and got one my first year. That doesn’t happen. Especially not with smallmouth. Man, it’s just awesome.”

VA residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls VIRGINIA - OVAe Virginia residents got wind that Virginia State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value. “It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Virginia State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chaVAe to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Virginia residents already have and you don’t want to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped
minting these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these Virginia State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Virginia residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.
■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Virginia who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.
Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Virginia residents Virginia residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per VA resident has been imposed VIRGINIA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and CurreVAy Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Virginia Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Virginia residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “I recently spoke with a numismatic expert in United States of America coins and curreVAy who said ‘In all my years as a numismatist I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Virginia Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Virginia residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Virginia Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Virginia residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Virginia you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing Virginia residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of Virginia residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Virginia and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■
SILVER: one of the last silver coins minted for circulation
VALUABLE: minted in philadelphia, denver & san fraVAisco
ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL: year varies 1916-1947
RARELY SEEN: minted by the u.s. mint in the early 1900’s
FACTS:
HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS If you are a Virginia State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB1499
Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:
Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.
How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:
It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Virginia State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.
Why are so many Virginia residents claiming them:
Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all Virginia residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.
How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:
Virginia residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB1499starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each Virginia State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.
