Goodman named Powhatan Christmas Mother By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – Despite being a lifelong resident of Powhatan County, Dale Goodman didn’t get her first glimpse at the behind-the-scenes workings of the Powhatan Christmas Mother program until 2019. Having worked in the public school system for more than three decades, Dale knew the help the program provided to families in need in the county. But it wasn’t until her sister-in-
law, Josephine “Jo” Goodman, served as the county’s 50th Christmas Mother that Dale got more exposure to the hard work that goes into the program. So when outgoing Christmas Mother JoAnn Woodson called Dale in June and asked if she would consider being the 2021 Powhatan Christmas Mother, she had a good understanding of what she would be signing up to do. “I definitely got a lot more exposure. (Jo) hosted a Christmas Mother Gala and she had me to do all the decorating,”
Dale said. “The other side of it, the things she was involved with, going around speaking to different groups in the county, I got to know a lot through her.” Knowing what a commitment it would be, Dale asked for a little time to think about it. She was already leaning toward saying yes, but during that time, she attended the June 22 joint meeting of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors and School Board, which got quite contentious. “The very next day I called see CHRISTMAS, pg. 6

State superintendent visits Survivors: Flat Rock during first week Local women show they are more than a cancer diagnosis By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – Being a survivor often calls forth an image of strength. Someone goes through something unimaginable – some mental, physical, or emotional battle – that none of us would want to face on our worst day and manages to survive it. We applaud them for facing
whatever that situation was and coming out on the other side, sometimes battle scarred but still a survivor. But imagine if you came through a situation like that and were told to go back and do it all over again. And imagine if the enemy you were fighting was in your own body. In the third week of the Powsee SURVIVORS, pg. 2

Lee Ware seeks re-election for House of Delegates seat
DELIVER TO: Postal Patron Powhatan, VA 23139
Contributed Report “With years of experience come larger responsibilities—and larger opportunities, too, for successful service.” In a nutshell, that is how Delegate Lee Ware describes his objective in seeking re-election to the House of Delegates from the 65th District. As the sixth most senior member of the House, Ware wields influence commensurate with his years of service and numerous legislative accomplishments. With about 90,000 residents, the 65th District includes all of Powhatan, western Chesterfield, western Goochland, and eastern Fluvanna counties. A former chairman of the House Finance Committee, Ware, who is a Republican, remains a ranking member of that committee and also of the committees on Labor and Commerce, Transportation, and Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources. He serves, too, by appointment of the Speaker, on the Governor’s Advisory Council on Revenue Estimates, and commissions on Unemployment, Health Insurance Reform, MEI Project Approval, and Employment Retirement Security and Pension Reform. A retired teacher, who taught history and government students for three decades roughly divided between Powhatan High School and Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, Ware concluded his career in education as Academic Dean of Benedictine College Preparatory. Prior to his election to the legislature, Ware served two consecutive terms on the Powhatan Board of Supervisors. He also served one term, by appointment of Gov-

ernor George Allen, as the first public school teacher in at least a century on the State Board of Education. Ware’s ability to guide meaningful legislation has earned him plaudits from a wide range of civic and professional associations, ranging from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to the Virginia State Police Association, the Virginia Dental Association, the Farm Bureau, the National Federation of Independent Business, and the Virginia Education Association. Broadband expansion to rural Virginians has been a priority of his for several years. A decade ago he served as chairman of the first joint subcommittee of legislators trying to find a way to combine private and public resources to achieve the goal. This year, Ware was pleased to support an $800 million investment in broad-
POWHATAN – With a new sponsor and event coordinator signed on, the Powhatan Christmas Parade is back on schedule for 2021. After announcing in August that the parade’s previous sponsor was unable to carry forward with the event this year because of lack of personnel, members of the Powhatan Christmas Everyday Committee were thrilled to announce last week that Luck Stone had stepped up and agreed to be the new sponsor. The event, which has not been held for various reasons since 2018, is scheduled to be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11 in the Village. It is open to the public. A few weeks ago, Jamey Epps, plant manager for Luck Stone, was approached by the 2021 Powhatan Christmas Mother, Dale Goodman, with a request for the company to step up and take over the event. He said becoming the parade’s sponsor gave the company the chance to give back to the Powhatan community, which has supported it for more than 30 years. “It is a great opportunity to engage our associates, engage our organization into an event that benefited the entire County of Powhatan,” he said.

Survivors: Local women share they are more than a diagnosis
I
In 2004, Alice Bolden well and truly earned the title of breast cancer survivor. Only two months after moving with her family to Powhatan in March 2004, 38-year-old Alice found out she had breast cancer. She was terrified. Here she and her husband, Greg, were in this new community in a new state with no support system facing a devastating diagnosis. She had planned to be juggling several balls in the air – getting the house unpacked, settling into a new community, and making sure her youngest son was adjusting to his new school. No matter what, life in the time that immediately followed was going to be chaotic. But to be dealing with that while also having a lumpectomy and recovery followed by six weeks of radiation was overwhelming, especially given the toll the radiation took on her body. “The radiation burned me. It was like somebody took a blow torch to me. My skin melted and it looked hideous. I thought that was probably the worst thing I had ever been through at that time,”

she said. But she survived it. Doctors told her they had caught it early, she had good clear margins, and she was cancer free. Life was able to move on. Then, just before her birthday in November 2017, Alice had her annual mammogram, which had questionable results. A biopsy followed. “It was cancer sure enough,” she said, adding it was Stage 3 breast cancer but wasn’t aggressive. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with, in the months that followed, Alice started feeling run down in a way she wasn’t the first time she faced cancer, and she couldn’t eat.
Different tests over the ensuing months found three other kinds of cancer in different parts of her body. They were all caught early and removed, but they were some pretty heavy hits to absorb back to back. And in the midst of her own health struggle, Alice was devastated to learn a week after her breast cancer diagnosis that her stepfather, Woodrow Hughes, had been diagnosed with an aggressive terminal cancer. With Alice, her doctors never told her she had terminal cancer. They could be vague sometimes and tried to get her to focus on staying as positive as possible. “Apparently being
positive is of utmost importance when you have cancer,” she said. “I tried to make the best of a bad situation. I tried to be happy. I tried to be as active as I could.” At the same time, Alice was battling the demon of a bad family history with cancer. At that point, her family members who had been diagnosed with cancer had died, including her parents, so she believed she was going to die as well. She put her affairs in order and started going through and purging her belongings. “I really resigned myself that I was going to die and my goal was to live long enough to see my son married. He got married in May

Epps said he has been to the parade and always found it well run. He added he is looking forward to the chance for Luck Stone’s employees to experience what it takes to put the event together. Goodman knew Epps and reached out to him last month about Luck Stone being a sponsor. He showed immediate interest and asked for more information, she said. When she got the information to him, he responded quickly that the company would take on the role. “I was so excited I almost fell off my chair, and I am not trying to exaggeration,” she said with a smile. “He was the very first person I asked, and for him to respond and be so positive about it, I was ecstatic about it.” Mary Harrison, publicity chair for the Powhatan Christmas Everyday Committee, praised Goodman’s proactiveness, saying she reached out to Luck Stone even before her first meeting with the committee. “What a relief. It is just such a vital part of the community that everybody
looks forward to,” she said. “We already knew we weren’t going to have a Labor Day Parade, and to think we weren’t going to have a Christmas Parade for three years in a row was devastating. I was so happy people answered the call.” Also new to the parade this year is Grace Cardenuto, who volunteered to be the parade chair after seeing the article in the Aug. 11 edition of the Powhatan Today about the parade being in danger of cancellation. She felt confident she could help coordinate the parade and reached out to the Christmas Mother program to offer her services. Cardenuto moved to Powhatan in spring 2020, so she has never seen a Powhatan parade. But having seen them elsewhere and knowing the difficulties the community has faced in the pandemic, she thought it would be a great project to support. “I feel that the last year and a half has been really hard for everyone here and has really been breaking down the community. I think this parade will help to build that back up. Things like that, we really need it now more than ever to build
back up the community,” she said. New this year, the parade organizers will be working with the county on an addition to parade day. Powhatan County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Karin Carmack said she hopes to hold a Christmas tree lighting directly following the parade on a piece of county-owned land near the corners of Marion Harland Lane and Old Buckingham Road. Carmack plans to propose the spot as the site of a future small public park, but for the purposes of this year’s festivities, she hopes to begin with a live tree planted on the land that can grow there and become part of Powhatan’s Christmas traditions for many years to come. “I would like to see it start off as an annual event that people really appreciate. The cool thing with a tree that is going to be planted is you will watch it grow annually,” she said. Parade planning has just started. Updates will be posted on the Powhatan Christmas Mother’s website, www.powhatanchristmasmother.org, in the coming weeks.

Fall armyworm infestation causes damage to local yards Contributed Report Throughout the past week, Powhatan Extension Office received hundreds of calls, visits, and social media requests for information about the Fall Armyworm infestations creating havoc in turf grass. Residents of Powhatan’s Maple Grove neighborhood reported damage to their lawns initially and it quickly spread like wild fire throughout the county. In less than 24 hours, other parts of Powhatan were seeing the affects of the Fall Armyworm damage including Spencerwood, Mill Road area, Norwood Creek, and many more. A local agriculture producer was also hit by the larva early, but knew to start treatment of his fields to stop the spread quickly.

where he retired as a captain. During his time with Henrico County, Goodman served as a firefighter and company officer on some of the county’s busiest engine companies, as well as spending three years as an instructor in the training section, and two GOODMAN years as the captain of community risk reduction and the public information officer. He also served on multiple operational and administrative committees, including fire apparatus, promotional process revision, and strategic planning. As a member of the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department, Goodman first joined Company 2 in January 1994, and went on to serve as a chief officer for 12 years, in-

2018,” she said. Alice started chemotherapy but didn’t stick with it because it was so heinously painful and made her hair start to fall out. But she did finish radiation treatments. As with the first time she went through cancer treatments, Alice said she didn’t have an extensive network of people to help. But those that did step up and offer to help or kept checking on her were an amazing surprise, she said. From 2017 to 2020, “chaos reigned,” Alice said. But on March 2, 2020, she heard those magic words – “cancer free” – and she
cluding six years as district chief. He served on several apparatus committees, the building committee, and assisted with numerous county-level projects as well. Goodman also spent time volunteering at the Henry Volunteer Fire Department (Hanover County) and the Bowling Green Volunteer Fire Department (Caroline County). Goodman started with Powhatan on Sept. 1, and he will have several areas of responsibility including overseeing the career staff, helping to arrange training with Chief Pat Schoeffel and acting as a liaison to the Public Safety Communications Department. “Powhatan County Fire and Rescue is very fortunate to have Taylor join our team. As a longtime volunteer and resident of Powhatan, Taylor brings a unique perspective to the department. We are excited to have his extensive knowledge of the fire service as an addition to our team,” stated Chief Phil Warner. Goodman lives in District 2 with his wife, son, and daughter. He’s an avid Texas Longhorns fan and enjoys spending time on his farm during time away from work.
couldn’t believe it. She had beat not one but four kinds of cancer and survived to tell her story. “I really didn’t believe it. It took me a while to accept the fact I was going to be OK. I had already resigned myself that even though I didn’t want to go, when it is my time I was ready,” she said. With the cancer gone, Alice was ready to celebrate. She bought concert tickets and was planning to travel to multiple countries. “I had this great comeback year planned because everything was going to be so amazing because I had finally reached the cancer free stage. And then COVID hit,” she said.
The isolation of the pandemic combined with the devastating loss of several family members during that time yet again took a toll on Alice. But rather than stay stuck in a dark place, she decided to start helping people in the community. She ran errands for people and tried to ease some of their burdens. And although things still aren’t easy, she is trying to focus on the positives in life – like her first grandbaby, a little boy born 10 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Day 2021. “He is the apple of my eye. I could not love anyone more than that baby. He keeps me sane,” she said with a proud grin.

Krista Martin
Survivors: Local women are more than a diagnosis
W
hen Krista Martin found out that a cousin had been tested and found to carry the BRCA genes that make breast cancer a higher risk, she shared the information with her doctor at her routine annual checkup in June 2020. Even with that knowledge, she was completely caught off guard when the routine exam turned up a roughly 3 cm lump that she hadn’t felt. “I was dumbfounded because I couldn’t figure out how I didn’t find it. The way we are taught to find it, I wouldn’t have found it,” she said. A mammogram was ordered for the next day followed by a biopsy, and Krista learned the devastating news that she had what appeared to be cancer in both breasts. Tests later confirmed she had Stage 3 breast cancer. Krista had been diagnosed with cancer before. In 2011, she had a slow-growing skin cancer removed. But that still didn’t take away the shock of hearing those words again nine years later. From the beginning, Krista said her doctors never had her focus on the cancer’s progression; the goal was just to remove it. “They did tell me the type of cancer I had was a slow growing one, so that was on my side. It could have been there up to a year,” she said. Because her cancer scores were right on the edge of a few different options, Krista had some choices to make about treatment. She could have had a lumpectomy and radiation but

instead made the difficult decision to have a double mastectomy in August 2020 with no chemotherapy or radiation. But even without those two treatments, the surgeries took their own toll, Krista said. Before the ordeal was over, she would have four surgeries for various parts of the removal and reconstruction process. She also had to do hybrid oxygen chamber therapy as she had skin that the doctors said was compromised because the tumor was so close to the skin, and they wanted it to heal better. “I honestly couldn’t have done it without all the support I had from my family to my fiancé to my son and all
of my friends. They were there from the start and they are still there. They helped with meals. They helped take me to appointments. Many people would stop and drop something off to cheer me up. I couldn’t have asked for a better support system,” Krista said. Something else that helped as she was going through the process was talking to other cancer survivors like Sandy Hopkins, who would offer advice and encouragement. Receiving advice on what to look for and what might be coming next in the process, Krista said it was “good to have support and understanding from someone who has gone through it.” Like Hopkins, Krista believes stay-
ing positive is a huge part of what got her through her fight with cancer. “The one thing that was really important to me was that cancer would not take away me living. All the way to every surgery I took little trips, went on visits, tried to keep life as normal as possible. I kept my mind off of what was coming,” she said. “Honestly, I really feel my mindset is what helped me most because it definitely can get overwhelming if you don’t separate it all.” In March 2021, Krista had her final surgery, which focused on reconstruction. It was severely delayed because of backup caused by COVID-19 restrictions. On Aug. 2, 2021, Krista marked a year of being cancer free. She found out that she does have the BRCA genes that put her at higher risk, so she has to take precautions. In some ways, Krista doesn’t feel like the last year really happened to her when she looks back at it. But it did change her perspective and make her more grateful than ever to still be here. She has one child and is looking forward to October, when she will also gain a husband and two future step-children. Life is precious, she said. “You are not promised tomorrow. I want to focus on living and enjoying it and being there for my kids,” she said. “It is not a bad memory. I feel blessed I have gotten this far and came out on top. I realized I was stronger than I thought was to be honest. It is definitely life-changing.”

end of their first week. “The first week of school is such a celebration. From the state, we try to get out in the first week of school and see how things are going,” he said. “Typically we would do that after Labor Day, but with so many of our schools starting before Labor Day, we are getting out in the month of August and seeing what is going on.” After touring the school, Lane said he was impressed with how Flat Rock teachers had started the school year. He added that he has been impressed with Powhatan County Public Schools (PCPS) throughout the pandemic, especially the mitigation strategies they have in place to continue to keep schools open, “because we know having students in person is important.” “They have phenomenal teachers here. I visited a lot of classrooms and just was really impressed with the level of instruction going on even in the first week of school,” he said. In Elizabeth McCrory’s first-grade class, a little girl told him, “When I grow up, I’m going to be a rock star.” Another girl piped up, “When I grow up, I’m going to be a police officer.” In Colleen Schwartz’ kindergarten class, Lane and students used cut out handprints on sticks to walk around and give each other “cardboard high fives” to the tune of a good morning song. He briefly talked with fifth-grade teacher Taylor Carneal, a graduate of Powhatan High School’s Class of 2015, and watched as students worked with buddies to answer riddles. In Bailey Johnson’s fifth-grade class, students were giving presentations on “Me in a nutshell” using objects they brought from home. To make sure every-
CHRISTMAS
one could see the objects, the students used a mounted document camera. Dr. Eric Jones, PCPS superintendent, traveled around Flat Rock with Lane, chiming in about some of the highlights for the school and the first week for the entire division. “I appreciate Dr. Lane coming to visit us. He said just wanted to come and thank teachers for their hard work, so we are always happy to show off what we are doing in Powhatan,” Jones said. “The visit to Flat Rock Elementary went very well. We saw some really good instruction going on. The students were all engaged in instruction and what they were doing in the classrooms, and just the excitement of the students and teachers after a long week was very gratifying to see.” Jones said he spent a good part of the first week based at Powhatan High School and that other central office administrators were spread out throughout the division as well. “I have visited each of the schools and visited every classroom in the county. I have been really impressed with everything I have seen at all of the schools. The routines are already in place and the students are doing really great work,” Jones said.
and put the past in the past. We are all going to have different ideas; that is just natural. But we can have consideration for each other and learn to live together. To me that is an overall sense of unity,” she said. Aside from promoting unity, Dale set herself two big priorities almost as soon as she agreed to become the Christmas Mother. The

Dale Goodman, shown here in her beloved garden, has been named the 2021 Powhatan Christmas Mother.
Woodson was reminded of Dale when she saw her singing at a funeral. But she also recalled seeing her all around the county and knowing how service-oriented and involved Dale is in the community. “She is multi-talented, she is a leader, and she is a bridge builder. She thinks about people and is empathetic,” JoAnn said. “She brings a lot to the table.” Given how eloquently and passionately Dale can be when she speaks to an audience, JoAnn predicted that she will be great at talking to community groups about the Christmas Mother program to gain support and donations. “She is a magnet. She has already gotten some people to donate. She will pull in donors and hopefully pull in applicants. She already has ideas for fundraisers. She is action-based. She is about doing,” JoAnn said. Jo Goodman said she was happy for her sisterin-law when Dale first mentioned she had been asked to be Christmas Mother and even more so when she fully signed on, knowing what was ahead for her. “It was the greatest
experience in my life other than having my babies to serve my community one neighbor at a time,” Jo said. Dale loves helping people and is good at public speaking, so Jo also feels she will represent the program well to the community. After taking two years off, first for her health and then because of COVID-19, Jo said she is excited to be involved with the program again this year and watch Dale in action. Dale grew up in Powhatan County and has lived here all her life. After graduating from Powhatan High School in 1972, she earned an associate’s degree in music at Longwood University. After spending 11 years working in the world of banking, Dale was offered a job in the Powhatan County Public School system as a secretary. Over the next 33 years, she worked in the division’s vocational center, high school, central office, and human resources. When she retired two years ago, she was the administrative assistant for the food service department. “What I really liked about it overall was basically working with different people and inter-
acting with the students. A lot of them would confide in me. They would come to my office and I liked the interaction of that,” she said. After retiring, Dale still wanted to be involved with the school system, so she started substituting where needed in administrative assistant positions. Dale values spending time with her daughter, Veronica, and three grandchildren, Delaney, Darryl Jr., and Mya as well as her three siblings, Delores, Jackie, and Obie. Dale said she most values God, her family, and her friends. She adores gardening and spends as much time as she can in her yard. She also loves singing and writing gospel songs. Looking forward to the year ahead, Dale said she is excited about working with the Powhatan Christmas Everyday Committee members, whom she has heard great things about from past Christmas Mothers. She said she is already impressed with how well they handle the different aspects of the program and looks forward to seeing how she can help as the new Christmas Mother.

Writing survivor stories offered comfort By Laura McFarland Editor
T
here are easy writing days, and there are hard ones. Just as with any job, as much as you try to keep your personal life out of it, sometimes it intrudes. Sometimes it is in the form of being tired after a restless night, someone’s bad behavior making you angry, or a situation you can’t control chipping away at your positive outlook because of worry or fear. Such was the situation I found myself in last week while working on the stories for the third week of our Survivors series about local breast cancer series. I want to preface this by saying this has been an incredibly uplifting feature series to write. When local photographer Anjie Kay told me she was doing free photo sessions for five breast cancer survivors and that they would be open to sharing their stories, I was immediately on board with doing something. I didn’t know how it was going to play out, and during each of the five interviews, I told them that point blank. Only after I had all five interviews done and
could take a step back and look at what they had shared could I begin to shape how to share their stories. I hope the latest two entries in this week’s paper are as touching for our readers to experience as they were for me to hear and write. Depending on your own personal experiences with cancer, they may be difficult to read because these women got real. But their stories were deserving of being told. The way these women opened up and shared what had to be one of the darkest experiences of their lives took its own level of bravery, and I applaud them for that. Early last week, as I was writing one of the stories, I got a phone call from an out-of-town friend. The original purpose of the call was for an unrelated matter, but when the conversation seemed like it was about to wrap up, the caller dropped a bombshell – someone else I know and admire has been diagnosed with cancer. As I listened to my friend talk, my mind was reeling. Here I was waist deep into writing a story about someone battling for her life against this insidious disease and I learn someone else is now under attack and possibly facing the same battle. This someone is

No one remembers exactly when they learned how to write, but I do remember who taught me. I’ve been more than fortunate to have benefitted from the instruction of quality teachers and professors throughout my formative years. While at VCU, the timing was almost perfect. The Journalism School was achieving national recognition and I, along with thousands of others, learned our craft from legends like Jack Hunter, Bill Turpin and Ed Arnold. But, they didn’t teach me how to write. That difficult task fell to two dedicated high school English teachers who displayed enormous patience with a sometimes inattentive student. Henry Ford showed me how to construct sentences and many other things, and Vicki Jester instilled a belief that learning to write was closely associated with a willingness to read, and introduced me to a world of literature and the magic of creative writing. Years later, the two married in what was certainly a union formed in literary heaven, and eventually enjoyed retirement, grandchildren, travel and each other. Henry passed away in 2014, but Vicki remained active in the J.R. Tucker community. We stayed in touch, and I last encountered her at a class reunion two years ago. She called me aside and told me how much she enjoyed my columns. I suppose she couldn’t have realized how much that compliment meant to me. I thanked her for the gift she had given to hundreds of students she gifted with her kindness and dedication to excellence. Vicki passed away recently, and this obituary appeared several days later. It’s not your routine announcement, and tells the story of her life in concise, clear fashion. It didn’t surprise those who knew and loved her that she left us one last message. It didn’t disappoint and I thought it was worth sharing. “You may not know me, but, let me tell you, I’ve lived a wonderful life, and I’m not afraid to die – although I didn’t want to go quite yet. The world is filled with wonderful things and terrific people. There’s so much more to see and do: new people to meet, old friends to greet, more books to read, sewing to complete and grandchildren to help love and guide, but we all have to go sometime. I guess now was my time, August 20, 2021. Remember that life is short, and you need to make
the most of each year, each month, each week, day, hour, and minute. Time is of the essence; make the most of it. And try to always look on the bright side. I was born on April 16, 1945, in Ripon, Wisconsin, to Phyllis Jane Ritchie and Marvin Lee Jester. We came to Virginia when I was 20 months old, and here I’ve been ever since. I graduated from Longwood College (now University) in January 1967, and began my teaching career in Lexington, VA; then I came “home” to Henrico County where I spent the next 33 years teaching English at J.R. Tucker High School. Little did I realize in 1967, that my future husband was teaching next door to my classroom; but in June 1970, Henry E. Ford, Jr. of Glen Allen, and I tied the knot. We traveled many places for ten years, and then we had one daughter, Brooke Jennings, the light of our lives, and ‘settled down’ as a family. I have had many illnesses, diseases, accidents, and surgeries, during my lifetime, but by the grace of God I pulled through each and every one – until now. I’m lucky to have lived as long and as happily as I have. I received my Master of Humanities degree from the University of Richmond in 1974 and went on to be the English Department Chairman at Tucker for about 20 years until my early retirement in 2000. Retirement allowed travel to England, Ireland, and Wales, as well as Florida, New York, and Wisconsin. Later, there were fun-filled trips to various places in North and South Carolina and to New England. My loving husband, Henry, passed away December 10, 2014, and I have missed him every day since. About a year after his death, I got a rescue dog to help me survive the quiet. Jack Henry (Henry, get it?) brought me much joy although he couldn’t quite fill the void left by Henry #1. Brooke married Hayden Scott Barnard on September 10, 2009, in Bermuda. What a beautiful, ocean-side ceremony. They gave me three wonderful grandchildren: Ford Scott Barnard, Ritchie Frances Barnard, and Linley Kate Jennings Barnard. They are, yes, even now, my pride and joy. What a wonderful family to be able to claim as my own! I’m not sure what my future holds, but if God is willing, I will be able to look over, protect them for a long time, and tuck them in each night. I’ll just say Au revoir, Friends, Colleagues, Former Students, and Family; until we meet again. And, if you never met me, you missed a real treat! In lieu of flowers, do a good deed for someone this week. Thanks! I’ll miss you all!

Educator’s obituary offers one more life lesson for all By Jim Ridolphi
a truly good soul with a giving heart, a protective streak a mile long, a dark sense of humor, and a scathing tongue when people do stupid things. The thought of him now facing this battle, even if I have no doubt in my mind he is strong enough to face it, breaks my heart for him and his family. So, yeah, I had to take a moment. I had to say a prayer for my friend’s wellbeing and for strength for his family. I had to take a moment to process it and mentally prepare myself before I waded back into writing about the battle against cancer that is all too real for far too many people. But when I did, something happened. In my mind I was taken back to the interviews of these women talking about where they found the strength to not only fight this battle but to try to stay positive while doing it. Their stories gave me even more hope for my friend. Because, yes, their battles were more difficult than I could imagine, but they won them. And I am praying and believing that, like these women, my friend will also one day proudly bear the name of Survivor. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

The First Responders Run will honor the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack on the 20th anniversary of the tragedy. The run will feature 343 laps around the Powhatan High School track, and people are welcome to come out at any time during the event on Sept. 11.
By Laura McFarland Editor
POWATAN – Powhatan County residents will be coming together on the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, to remember the fallen. The First Responders Run will return to the Powhatan High School track for its third year of honoring the fallen. This year will also see the event return to the 2019 format, which focused on founder Russ Holland Jr. doing 343 laps around the track – one lap for each firefighter with the New York Fire Department who lost his life in the attack. At 11:45 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 10, early participants will gather for a few remarks and a prayer to start the event. Then at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11, Holland and anyone who wants to participate will start the first lap, said Brigid Paciello, one of the event coordinators. People are welcome to walk or run the
laps. The laps will continue all day with the last lap projected to begin at about 6:45 p.m., depending on the pace during the day. As with the 2019 run, coordinators hope first responders will join in for the last lap to honor them. While the run is a remembrance event, it is also a fundraiser, with any proceeds raised going to be split between the county’s five volunteer fire departments and the rescue squad. There will be special t-shirts sold at the event. This year’s event will include children’s games held on the football field at different points in the day. There will also be drinks and snacks sold at the concessions stand with money raised there going to support the Powhatan High School Band Boosters. Registration is not required for the run. Updates will be posted on the First Responders Run’s website, www.neverforget.run.

Both games were played on the road, and both games went beyond
regulation. In the season opener at Monacan, Powhatan prevailed 2-1 in shootouts. After Emily Reimondo netted the regulation goal for Powhatan, Monacan scored late in the second half to tie it up. But after battling Monacan through 7-v-7 overtime, Powhatan’s Erica Krauss, Casey Grell and Jordan Krauss gave the team a 3-2 lead in the 1-v-1 shootouts, and goalie Peyton Tuttle held Monacan’s
final two players out of goal to preserve Powhatan’s lead and secure the win. In Thursday’s game at Freeman, Erica Krauss secured the regulation goal off of an assist from Casey Grell, and Lexi Campbell, in 7-v-7 overtime, netted what Powhatan head coach Stephanie Tyson called “one of the most beautiful goals I have seen us score in a while” to secure the 2-1 OT win for Powhatan.

straight points, and a multifaceted team attack catapulted Powhatan out of a 10-point hole and into the first-set victory on a fiery 20-2 stretch. The Indians proceeded to break a 10-10 tie in the second set and bounce back from a third-set loss to fend off Manchester 3-1 (25-17, 25-16, 18-25, 25-14) for win no. 1 of the fall 2021 campaign. “We needed this tonight. We needed the win here,” said Powhatan head coach Cindy Bryant, who added that their opponent, Manchester, had “majorly improved.” Bryant also called the win a huge team effort, as every player who stepped onto the court for Powhatan contributed to the victory. Rehme tallied up 5 service aces and 9 kills and also added to Powhatan’s defensive effort Tuesday night with nine digs. She drew praise from Bryant for her .263 hitting percentage on the night. As for Rehme’s 13-0 serving run, Bryant pointed to the focus that she brings to the serving line. Junior Chesed Russell contributed 4 aces and 2 kills and was key to the final run that helped put the Indians in control of the fourth and final set. After landing a spot kill for an insurance point at 14-12, Russell delivered a kill to remember during a 7-0 run for Powhatan; she rose up for what initially looked to be a block attempt, then high-pointed the ball into a spin to drop it onto the Lancers’ shallow court for an 18-13 lead. Both of Russell’s kills landed in open floor where there were no opponents to

“Coach [Bucky] Webb, [Robert] Cook, and I were very proud of the team for their strong performances today,” Powhatan cross country coach Paul Smartschan said last Saturday. “Being an overall young group, it was many of their first times running at such a large, competitive Invitational XC Meet (the meet was held on the back half of the Great Meadows State XC Course) and we couldn’t have asked for any more effort on a notoriously tough course in the heat of August. “We can’t wait to see them progress as individual athletes and as a unified team moving forward.” Additional top 10 freshman/sophomore finishers for the boys were Ian Timmons’ brother Eli Timmons (fifth), Sean Seibel (seventh) and Thomas Menting (ninth).

defend the ball – something that Powhatan has been striving for with its attackers. “Our goal is not to hit where a defender is – it’s to hit in a seam and to open court,” Bryant said, “so getting up there and having that vision and finding that…she is doing that. That showed.” Senior Faith Henderson delivered 1 ace, 6 kills and 5 blocks. The dual-sport leader helped secure match point for Powhatan with her coverage at the net. Senior, dual-sport leader and Libero Kendal McMullin landed 2 aces and led the team defensively with 13 digs. Junior Olivia Moss led the team with a whopping 8 aces, and in the 7-0 stretch that saw Powhatan take a 22-13 fourthset lead, she had five serves that either landed in the Lancers’ center floor or were hit out of play by the opposing team. Moss added 1 block and 3 kills, and she ended up taking the lead setting role before the match ended as Powhatan’s starting setter Sydney Wade went out with a shoulder injury. Moss was originally the second setter, but had just been shifted to focusing on outside hitter with Powhatan going to a 5-1 rotation for Tuesday’s game. Moss stepped up and led the team with 14 assists. “She did a great job,” Bryant said, praising Moss’ communication and the way she led the court. Wade had nine assists and a dig before she exited the game for the second and final time after the second set. Junior Sam Flippo delivered 5 kills in the middle and was pivotal along with Rehme, Moss and Avah Etheridge (2 kills) to Powhatan’s 14-point rally for the lead in the first set.
Once Rehme headed to the backline to serve after Flippo’s kill had lessened the Lancers’ lead to 15-6, Powhatan caught fire in the first set. The combined offense of Flippo, Rehme, Olivia Moss and Etheridge elevated the Indians into a 19-15 advantage, with Manchester hitting away attacks by Etheridge and Flippo to cede the tying point and go-ahead point, respectively, to Powhatan. The 15-5 stretch was also when Wade went out the first time. “That can swing two ways: that can plummet you further, but with this group, it was: we’ve got to fight right now,” Bryant said, “and they did to pull it off without their starting setter on the court, and that was in Set 1.” Powerful attacks by seniors Emilie McDaniels and Faith Henderson set the tone in Powhatan’s 9-4 second-set start. The Lancers rallied to take a 10-9 lead on a 5-point serving stretch from Catori Crawford, but once the sixth serve hit the net to tie the set at 10-10, Rehme once again went to the backline, and she didn’t stop serving until Powhatan led at 15-11. Moss added a 4-point serving burst in the second set as Powhatan held the lead for the rest of the stanza. Russell served for 6 straight points to slash Manchester’s third-set lead from 17-9 to 17-15, but the Lancers took off on a 7-1 run and held on against back-toback points from Powhatan to secure set point. But when a Lancers’ throw tipped the lead to Powhatan at 3-2 in the fourth set, the Indians never trailed for the rest of the match. Russell served for another key burst – this one for 5 points – in which she, Rehme and Henderson delivered powerful strikes

that Manchester hit away. Manchester whittled the home team’s advantage as far down as 1312, but Moss’ serve and Russell’s smart attacking put the Indians in command at 22-13, and a block – featuring Henderson on coverage at the net – sealed up match point for the home team.

I came in to school today with a big smile on my face, so happy and ready for this moment.” In his first full game in the varsity pocket, Trevillian completed 12 of 22 passes for 202 yards and all three of the team’s touchdowns against one interception. “He’s a gunslinger, he’s got a great arm,” Henderson said, adding that: “When it mattered, he came up with the biggest play of the game.” Johnson had a huge start to his senior season as he churned out 148 rushing yards on 19 carries and added five catches for 59 more yards and two touchdowns. “We expect a lot from Mitchell. These guys that work this hard to be in the position they’re in – we give them a lot of responsibility,” Henderson said. “He’s a terrific football player, an extremely hard worker and we love him, but we also expect him to be great, because he expects himself to be great.” After the Mustangs punted the ball out-of-bounds at Powhatan’s 25-yard line to begin the second quarter, Johnson took the handoff, hit the right edge, swung around the Mustangs’ defenders, shed the remaining pressure and tore along the right-field sideline before he got forced out of bounds at the Mustangs’ 35. Trevillian then connected with Zack Warriner on a 21-yard pass, and two plays later while facing third and six, he threw to senior teammate Ethan Dowdy, who caught the ball on the left edge of the end zone with a defender on him for the 10-yard touchdown, despite the defender’s coverage drawing a penalty for defensive pass interference. But after Powhatan went into halftime up 7-0, the Mustangs’ offense, led by the ground game, turned a corner. Running backs Cole Varner and Colby Messe combined to carve out 73 rushing yards in an 11-play, 80-yard drive that was started by Powhatan’s missed field goal and capped by Varner’s explosive run up the middle for an 11-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. The Mustangs, however, were unable to tie the game on the extra-point attempt, and Powhatan padded its lead early in the fourth. Trevillian aired a 35-yard pass out to Dowdy to march the visitors inside Mechanicsville’s 20,
Senior Brandon Washburn and junior Jack Debord were the co-medalists in their Powhatan golf team’s first home win of the season over Manchester (151-166) at Mill Quarter Plantation Golf Course on Aug. 24. Both Washburn and Debord shot par (36) in the match. Joining them in the top four were Luke McDaniels, who shot a 39, and Hans Rehme, who shot a 40. The entire top six that competed for Powhatan on Aug. 24 performed well overall, as Adam Camp shot a 41 and Cade Van Buskirk shot a 44. “The win definitely showed the potential of this team,” said Powhatan head coach Chris Leech, who added: “It’s important for us to stay focused as we continue through the season and always look for ways to improve.” Powhatan returns to action on Tuesday, Sept. 7 versus James River and Clover Hill at Independence Golf Course at 3:30 p.m. and will play L.C. Bird and Monacan at First Tee of Chesterfield on Tuesday, Sept. 14 at NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY 3:30 p.m. The Indians will next play at Golfer Brandon Washburn (above) home at Mill Quarter on Thursday, watches his shot sail towards the Sept. 16, when they host Cosby and green in an Aug. 24 home match.

and Johnson, facing 4th and 4 from the Mustangs’ 11 a few plays later, caught a pass from Trevillian and powered past the Mustangs’ defenders on a slanted run to his right for the score. But the home team’s offense picked up right where it left off. Starting from their 32, the Mustangs were led by Messe’s 48 yards in the 12-play drive, and also by quarterback Jordan Callahan’s crucial 2-yard pass on fourth down from Powhatan’s 20-yard line for the first-down conversion. Varner opened the drive on an 8-yard run and ended it with a 5-yard touchdown carry. After a pass interference call against Powhatan shortened the distance of Mechanicsville’s two-point conversion try, Messe powered across the goal line on the short run to tie the game at 1414 with 4:04 remaining in regulation. PHOTOS BY NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY The two teams remained tied until the clock hit zero, forcing overtime. Powhatan’s Cade Van Buskirk (left) and Jack Debord compete on Aug. 24. Mechanicsville struck first as Callahan hit tight end Hunter Ostein for a 12yard score. But Powhatan held Callahan out of the end zone on the attempted two-point run, and despite facing 4th and 16, Powhatan came through in the clutch with Trevillian finding Johnson for the game-tying score, and Thomas’ kick securing the visitors’ victory. “It wasn’t in our odds,” Trevillian said, “but we got it done.” Powhatan was led defensively by Chase Gayness and Wyatt Lowe, who each totaled nine tackles (eight solo and one for loss for Gayness, seven solo for Lowe). Andrew Cheatham made six tackles, including four solo tackles and three for loss. Dowdy made a big play on defense in the second half when Mechanicsville’s Jamil Mashore appeared to haul in a jumping catch along the right sideline while facing 3rd and 12 from the Mustangs’ 12, but a hit from Dowdy on the pass defense knocked the ball away, forcing fourth down.

Mechanicsville twice turned the ball over on downs, with Powhatan’s Oscar Whitely leading the way on a fourthdown sack, and an over-snapped ball forcing Mechanicsville’s punter to cut down on the Mustangs’ lost yardage with a return that was far short of the first down. Powhatan in the first half allowed three sacks and three turnovers, with the Mustangs recovering two fumbles and Max Bidou interrupting Trevillian’s pass when he jumped up and hauled in the interception.
