Powhatan strives to bridge the ‘digital divide’ By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
P
OWHATAN – Powhatan’s local, state, and federal elected representatives gathered last week to celebrate a recent initiative that should see county residents fully served with broadband internet within the next three years. On Tuesday, Sept. 14, the county held a press conference attended by Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, D-7th, State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, D-Chesterfield, and Del. Lee Ware, R-65, as well as all five supervisors and one school board member. The purpose was to highlight Powhatan County’s efforts to extend broadband coverage to all of its residents and businesses through partnerships with Dominion Energy and Firefly Fiber Broadband. On Aug. 23, the board of supervisors unanimously approved a partnership with Firefly and Dominion to provide broadband to unserved areas. The decision came with a commitment to put at least $3 million in American Rescue Plan funds toward the project and an authorization to increase that to $5.3 million if the project doesn’t win the Virginia Telecommunications

Initiative (VATI) grants it is seeking. If successful, VATI grant funds would be used to offset nearly 30% of the cost for Firefly to build fiber
in the county. The remaining 70% would be funded between Powhatan County and Firefly. see BROADBAND, pg. 6

Excitement rising for return of the Festival of the Grape By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – Based on early enthusiasm seen from vendors and ticket sales, organizers of the returning Powhatan Festival of the Grape are expecting a great return to festivities in 2021. Dubbing it the 18th (mostly) annual Festival of the Grape because of the year missed by the pandemic, the event is back strong with a long list of food, alcohol, and craft vendors, all-day entertainment, and small town charm, said Angie Cabell, executive director of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce. The event will be held from 11
a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2 in the Historic Powhatan Village. Tickets for people 21 and older are $25 in advance or $30 at the gate. A youth ticket for ages 13 to 20 is $20 in advance and $25 at the gate. Children 12 and under are free. Planning this event with all of the uncertainty of directives from the state has presented its own challenges for this year’s festival, but it hasn’t dampened people’s enthusiasm, Cabell said. “All of our volunteers, our supporters are very excited to be able to hold the event this year. With every festival there are unknowns, so this isn’t really differsee FESTIVAL, pg. 3

On Aug. 5, Powhatan Home Defense (a group of Powhatan residents that focus on community involvement and self-protection of home and family) provided a brisket BBQ lunch from Wildwoods BBQ for the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office. Powhatan Home Defense was represented by Don Silberbauer and Jeremy Sales (left and second to left) who delivered the goods to Sherriff Brad Nunnally and his deputies and staff. The lunch was in appreciation for their selfless dedication to Powhatan residents and the risk to their lives that they take each and every day. Powhatan Home Defense (PHD) was formed just a year ago and is accepting new members. PHD also offers classes in firearm safety, CPR training and certification.

ent than years past. We have such great support from the community that we know it is going to be a fantastic event no matter what happens,” she said. People are obviously ready to get out and have some fun, Susan Ash, vendor coordinator, added. Usually vendor sign up for the festival is still not full until around September. This year, the roster was easily set by July. “I think people who have been locked up for over a year just can’t wait,” she said. As it is an all-day event, people are invited to bring their chairs, sit on the courthouse lawn and get comfortable. The entertainment will be provided by live music from En’Novation. Although the emphasis for the festival is still on wine, organizers continue to try to bring a variety of choices to appeal to a broader audience, Cabell said. In addition to the 17 wineries lined up to participate, there

are six distilleries, two cideries, one meadery, and one new craft brewery, Powhatan’s Crazy Rooster Brewing. In between tastings, there are dozens of vendors that will be set up for shopping, including quilts, artwork, jewelry, antiques, special soaps, pet gifts, candles, snacks, and woodworks. Ash said there was some turnover this year in vendors because of the pandemic, but the vendor roster continues to put a focus on handmade items for sale. There will also be several Chamber members and local nonprofits with booths set up. In addition to nine food vendors selling a variety of items, County Seat Restaurant and Four Seasons Restaurant will be open and serving guests. One of the hallmarks of the Festival of the Grape is how much of a community event it is, Cabell said. Once again, the Powhatan Lions Club will be running shuttles from the Powhatan Elementary and Powhatan
Middle school parking lots. There is also parking available at the Powhatan Rescue Squad field on Marion Harland Lane. American Legion Post #201 will hold its Brunswick Stew Sale, so people can eat it there or take some home. The Rotary Club of Powhatan will man the beer truck. “Powhatan is all about community. I think it is one of the things that sets the county apart from others. We have it in spades here at the festival,” Cabell said. Unless the governor or Centers for Disease Control issue a new order, the festival is not mandating masks. It will follow CDC guidelines, Ash said. There will be an increased number of hand sanitizing stations around the festival and masks available at the gate if people want one. Advanced tickets can be purchased in person at C&F Bank or online at www.powhatanwinefestival.com. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

for many parents who spoke during the public comment period questioning their effectiveness and concerned about the effects the masks may be having on students physically and emotionally. Absences While the board members discussed many of the issues at length, one topic that seemed to disturb them a great deal was related to missed school because of quarantining. While the numbers aren’t official yet, as of Sept. 9, PCPS had 4,349 students enrolled, including outside placements, regional programs, and virtual students. Currently, 99% of the student body is in face-to-face instruction, with only 29 elementary and 21

tion for 22 years, including the last four years as PHS assistant principal, she was excited to think about the opportunities that lay ahead with the new school year, especially with students back in classes fulltime. When the news came out, she said she received
secondary students enrolling in full virtual classes. Between Aug. 23 and Sept. 9, the district had 84 students and nine employees test positive for COVID-19, Jones said during the presentation. Those numbers had risen to 107 students and 16 employees as of Sept. 19, according to the division’s website. But the number that really caught the board’s attention dealt more with the impact of COVID on absences. Between Aug. 23 and Sept. 9, 606 students missed school because of quarantining – either due to testing positive or coming in close contact with someone who had tested positive, Jones said. The hardest hit was the middle school, with 173 students quarantining or testing positive, but the other schools still had
incredible support from her colleagues as well as parents and community members. But her favorite moments in the role so far came when students returning for the 2021-2022 school year told her, “Ms. Martin I wanted it to be you. I am so happy you are the principal.” “I had wonderful things said by teachers and par-

ents, but really when the students greeted me the first week of school and said, ‘I am so excited it was you,’ that was the best part. Knowing I am where I am supposed to be and where students wanted me to be,” she said. Having witnessed firsthand what the last school year was like for the Powhatan community, Martin had a few priorities going into her new role as principal. First was recognition that there was a disruption to learning in the last year and a half and the school needs to address that “to meet our students where they are and ensure academic success.” The school also intends to put an emphasis on student and teacher wellness, she said. These can be stressful times with concerns about COVID and restrictions that had to be put into place for the school’s normal activities to still take place, she said. “It is important that we transition back and we ensure students are coping with things well, are handling things well, and likewise for our teachers. That is one of our main priorities,” she said. But with the serious goals also comes the simple joys of having students back in their classes and in the hallways five days a week, she said. During a leadership summit held
fairly high numbers: 132 students at Powhatan High School, 116 at Pocahontas Elementary, 97 at Powhatan Elementary, and 88 at Flat Rock Elementary, according to Jones’ presentation. There were also 40 high schoolers and 19 middle schoolers who came in close contact but were not quarantined due to vaccinations or recently having COVID. Generally students are quarantined for 10 days, but it could be as much as 20 days, depending on the circumstances, Jones said. Schools across the state are trying to get the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) to lessen those quarantine periods, but they are still waiting for additional guidance. In addition to the large periods of face-to-face instruction students are missing, their absence is putting a strain this summer, PHS students created a theme for the new year: Orange and Black…The Comeback: the Spear-It Returns! It is telling, she said, that the students are ready to re-engage in their schools, she said. They want the opportunity to show their school spirit, so her goal is to encourage that to the extent possible while also keeping them safe and healthy. “The kids are so energizing. It is really why we do what we do,” she said. “Our students have transitioned well back into the building. Generally even the kids who don’t love school are happy to be here – happy to have some consistency and routines in their lives.” Martin said she has wanted to be involved in education for as long as she can remember. She recalls loving to play school at home in Amelia County as early as 4 years old. She began teaching elementary school in 1999 in Jacksonville, North Carolina, where her husband, Mike, was stationed in the military. She then taught in Amelia County for six years, the last two as an instructional technology resource teacher (ITRT). Having taught at both elementary and middle schools during this time helped her see how children start out and need to
on their teachers, who have to prepare lessons for them to do at home, Jones said. That is something that is starting to be a wear and tear on teachers, he added. Board members were obviously displeased with how many absences the division is seeing because of quarantining. They pointed out that there have only been 84 positive cases but 606 students have been had to miss school. In his first meeting representing District 4, interim member James Taylor said he wanted to play devil’s advocate and ask “are we even thinking about living with this as an option?” The schools are expending a large amount of money because of COVID and lessening the education of students “when the impact is very minimal to them personally.”
be guided along the way, she said. In 2008, Martin was hired by Powhatan County Public Schools as an ITRT, supporting teachers and their implementation of instructional technology. In 2014, she transitioned to supervisor of instructional technology for the school division, where she remained until she became assistant principal, serving for the next four years. “I already have very strong relationships with the teachers and students. In that way it has been, in my mind, a pretty smooth transition (to principal). I was able to step into this role and have all this background and foundation already in place so we can continue to move forward and grow in the areas we need to grow,” she said. The school division began looking for a new high school principal after Dr. Mike Massa announced on July 13 that he would be resigning after five years in the position. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said Martin was chosen as the high school’s new principal out of four highly qualified candidates for a combination of factors, including the work she did as assistant principal under Massa. “She was Dr. Massa’s right hand person and gained a wealth of experience that made her an attractive candidate,” Jones

said. “She also has the previous experience in the instructional area as an instructional technology resource teacher for a number of years. We love our administrators to have a strong gasp of instructional pedagogy.” The big challenge Martin and all staff at PHS face this school year is that the school didn’t have a full instructional year last year so there are students who have some unfinished learning, Jones said. “We need to ensure they catch up and complete that learning from the previous 18 months. Ms. Martin had a very good plan for that that she discussed in the interview that was very comprehensive. That is the No. 1 challenge – making sure our students are prepared for that next step in their life,” Jones said. Another aspect that made Martin an attractive candidate was that she lived through the last year with the division as both an administrator and a parent. Martin’s daughter, Caris, graduated from PHS in the Class of 2021, and her son, Gabe, is a sophomore. She knows the challenges and how they were faced, and is ready to tackle those same issues and more this year, Jones said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

Board of supervisors honors Caroline Schollaert with proclamation
PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND
On Aug. 23, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors honored Petty Officer 3rd Class Caroline Schollaert, a Powhatan native and Powhatan High School Class of 2013 graduate, with a proclamation recognizing her service to the U.S. Coast Guard since 2013. Schollaert, 26, was killed attempting to stop a car burglary outside her home on Aug. 3 in Jacksonville, Florida, where she had been stationed for the last four years. The proclamation recognized her service with the coast guard but also her love for her hometown. Family members attended the meeting to accept the proclamation in her honor. The supervisors also issued a proclamation recognizing the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, Chesterfield County Police Department, Chesterfield County Sheriff’s Department and Chesterfield County Fire & EMS for their participation in a homecoming ceremony held when Schollaert was brought back to Virginia on Aug. 11. Chesterfield officials met the plane carrying Schollaert and her family and helped bring her in a procession back to Powhatan, where she was laid to rest.

munity she loves is a win-win in McFarland’s mind. “The thought of taking over leadership of such an amazing group challenges me to continually grow and learn so I can do this role justice while still serving the Powhatan community as the editor of the Powhatan Today.” It didn’t take long for McFarland to find her niche in the journalism world, but she had other intentions when she first considered a career. “Up until high school, I thought I wanted to be a lawyer. But as a freshman, the first time I saw my byline, I was hooked and have never wavered in my determination to be a journalist,” McFarland said. She’s spent a decade and a half as a working journalist. “The last seven of those years have been spent working as the main source of news for the Powhatan Today newspaper in Powhatan County, where I live and will continue to provide news coverage.” McFarland noted the importance of community journalism and its connection to the people it serves. “Community journalism is the heart of Richmond Suburban News,” she said. “For com-
munity journalism to work, we need our readers’ involvement, whether it is in the form of letters to the editor, contributed articles and photographs, news and sports tips, community calendar submissions, taking a snapshot with your local newspaper while on vacation, or just feedback on what kind of coverage you want to see in your local newspaper.” She moved to the Richmond area in 2014 and began her assignment in Powhatan, but her family lives in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, and she returns home several times a year to visit. “When I am not working, I divide my time between traveling, reading, hiking, watching movies, playing board games, quilting, and spending time with friends,” McFarland said. Richmond Times-Dispatch Executive Editor and Vice President Paige Mudd, who also oversees RSN operations, said, “Laura has been such a strong presence in the Powhatan community through her work on Powhatan Today, and the entire Richmond Suburban News group will benefit from her outstanding leadership and spirit.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Powhatan Bullnanza ready to ride on Sept. 25 Contributed Report
Since his party was reduced to the minority in 2019, Delegate Lee Ware has soldiered on precisely as we–his longtime supporters–expected him to do. He has stood firm for limited government, fiscal prudence, the protection of civil liberties, defense--not “defunding”– of our law-enforcement personnel, and academic excellence rather than ideological mischief in our public schools. And, as befits “the Gentleman from Powhatan,” as he is known in the legislature, he has cooperated readily when appropriate with “the other party” on behalf of policies good for all Virginians throughout the Commonwealth. Just as important, Delegate Ware has been tireless in responding to our fellow citizens in distress during the many difficult months of economic lockdown and social restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. He has assisted hundreds of us with Unemployment claims, and he has enabled numerous others to gain needed help with the DMV. In sum, he has performed as always he has performed-with conviction and compassion and devotion to our communities in the 65th House District. Moreover, Delegate Lee Ware remains, in “Loyal Opposition,” a leader in our legislature. He exhibits what a senior member of “the other party” terms “a towering influence” in deliberations in the House. He remains a ranking member of the important House Finance Committee, and he is a ranking member, too, on the committees for Labor & Commerce, Agriculture, Chesapeake, & Natural Resources, and Transportation. Delegate Ware also serves on numerous commissions, including the Governor’s Advisory Council on Revenue Estimates, Unemployment, Health Insurance Reform, MEI Project Approval, Employment Retirement Security and Pension Reform, and the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. Committed, courteous, cheerful, principled, and effective – these are some of the qualities that have earned Delegate Ware these commendations: *endorsed by the voice of small business—the National Federation of Independent Business *endorsed by Virginia Farm Bureau’s AgPAC *one of the House’s top-ten pro-business legislators by Virginia Foundation for Research and Economic Education (VA FREE) *a defender of our liberties—endorsed by the National Rifle Association and a past-Teacher of the Year on the U.S. Constitution by the James Madison Foundation Respectful of all races, religions, and political affiliations - - he is a legislator for us all:

The smells of massive bulls and fiery horses and leather. The sounds of bulls snorting and horses breathing hard as the crowd cheers. The rider nods his head. The next 8 seconds timer begins its countdown. Yes sir! Its rodeo time again with the last Powhatan Bullnanza of 2021. On Saturday, Sept. 25, gates open at 5 p.m. and the rodeo starts at 7 p.m. at 2693 Rock Oak Road in Powhatan. Weather is looking perfect for another sellout crowd. Scotty Morton of Long Branch Rodeo and Jacque Gits of Gits Masonry have been hosting Powhatan Bullnaza at Rocky Oak Farm since the early 2000’s. People come from all over the region to watch and all over the East Coast to compete. If you have not had a chance to attend then come on out this weekend. What most people do not realize are
BROADBAND Continued from pg. 1
The local efforts are part of a much larger $300-million project helmed by Firefly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central Virginia Electric Cooperative. Firefly’s Regional Internet Service Expansion (RISE) project aims to provide access to reliable, affordable internet to all underserved homes and businesses across 13 counties in Central Virginia, including Powhatan and Cumberland counties. In Powhatan, Firefly president and CEO Gary Wood said previously the company plans to lay 192 miles of fiber optic cable, mostly in the western and northern parts of the county, which are severely underserved. This project has the potential to serve 2,016 “unserved passings,” which could either be commercial or residential customers, without access to speeds faster than 25 mbps download or 3 mbps upload. Getting a project of this scale to make broadband universally available in Powhatan took the work of many hands, from building the infrastructure to finding the funding and keeping the momentum going to see it to fruition, Wood said. As part of the partnership, Dominion Energy, which serves part of Powhatan, agreed to install fiber in rural areas as it moves forward with efforts to transform Virginia’s energy grid. This fiber capacity can be used for operational needs as well as broadband access, reducing broadband deployment costs for internet service providers. Under the agreement, Firefly will lease the “middle-mile” fiber installed by Dominion Energy in the company’s electric service area. As a regulated electric service provider, Dominion Energy has a duty to provide electricity to ev-
the local programs the rodeo supports. Since the very first rodeo these two gentlemen hosted, thousands of dollars have been donated back into the community through local nonprofits. Local volunteer fire and rescue departments, the Junior Emergency Technician program, sheriff’s office and many others have benefited from the rodeo. The local convenience stores and restaurants prosper on rodeo weekends due to out-of-town visitors buying food, gas and other items. Businesses’ like Colony Construction, Jardine’s, Fun Cakes, Powhatan Screen Printing and many others benefit as sponsors and vendors.

eryone in its service territory, which puts the company in a unique position to help solve the broadband gap, said Diane Leopold, Dominion Energy’s chief operating officer. “By using fiber capacity for both grid operational needs and broadband access, we can lower the cost of providing broadband for internet service providers,” she said. Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Karin Carmack, who represents District 5, praised Spanberger, Hashmi, and Ware for their efforts in their respective roles to champion the need for rural broadband and also thanked Firefly and Dominion for their roles in making broadband a possibility to residents who have no options. She also praised her fellow board members and key Powhatan staff members who have made broadband a top priority not only in word but in action. “What does this day mean for our citizens? It means by 2024, 97% of Powhatan County will be served by high speed internet and work will begin within three months,” she said. Powhatan, along with many other localities involved in this project is celebrating the “closing of the digital divide” with efforts like this, Spanberger said. This will have a tremendous impact and “pay tremendous dividends in terms of job opportunities, innovation, economic growth.” “Certainly the lack of broadband connectivity hurts the abilities of students to complete their homework, business to recruit and hire new employees, and farmers to take advantage of the latest high-tech precision ag equipment,” Spanberger said. Spanberger also lauded the supervisors’ choice to use American Rescue Plan funds for this proj-
ect, which is “exactly what we had in mind when we decided to invest in our nation’s economic recovery and turning the page with COVID.” While serving on Virginia’s Advisory Council, Hashmi said the members have heard from so many educators, parents, small business owners, and local government officials about the urgent need for broadband access, most especially in rural commutnies. “Too many Virginians have had to find their way to parking lots, public libraries, or fast food restaurants simply to access the internet in order to complete homework assignments, communicate, or reach access to critical resources, especially during this pandemic,” Hashmi said. “This is absolutely unacceptable in the 21st Century in America, and I thank Dominion resources and Firefly and the work of our county supervisors and school board officials for helping to ensure that effective broadband access will be the reality now for all of our county residents.” While Ware touched on the legislature’s efforts to streamline the process of getting funding to broadband projects, he also talked about the personal stories he has heard from constituents that show why this project means so much. He spoke of a small businessman in Powhatan who couldn’t use credit cards because he can’t get online dependably enough. He also talked about an older woman whose landline quality is diminishing and she lives in an area without cell phone coverage. He said it is “voices like that that echo for me” when he thinks about why they gathered together to celebrate last week. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Having broadband end in sight is superb By Laura McFarland Editor
The beauty of staying in a job for a while is that you get to stand witness to some incredible journeys. Now in a county that has many people with 30, 40, or 50 years working in the same job, my measly seven years with the Powhatan Today is a drop in the bucket by comparison. But for the purposes of this column, it was just long enough to be here for a good portion of events leading up to a milestone in Powhatan’s history. While I started working here in 2014, I was actually living in Chesterfield County at the time. Say what you want about city/suburban living, but I liked having ready access to shops, weekly trash pickup, and, most importantly for my job, reliable high-speed internet. So in the way of a person who doesn’t live in a community she is learning about, I was not aware at first of the sheer volume of Powhatan County residents without access to any kind of internet service, much less a high-speed connection. A big turning point, I believe, for the county came on Oct. 26, 2015. An information meeting was held in the Village Building focused entirely on broadband. A panel of county officials gave an overview of the situation the county was facing, which was bleak. The message I walked away with that night was the big companies had all the control when it came to deciding when and if they would bring service to the county, and there was little local government officials could do to compel or incentivize them. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, was one of the panelists that night, and at the time he talked about the challenges for students who didn’t have access to internet at home, which in the education world is
called the “digital divide.” But what made the biggest impression on me that night was that the meeting was attended by 77 people. We have had some larger meetings since then on really hot-button issues, but at the time, I think it was the bigger turnout I had seen at a county meeting. I believe the board of supervisors also was struck by what they heard from residents that night. Long before COVID was an issue, one woman talked about being forced to work from home and have the internet service to do so or lose her job. Several people talked about buying houses in Powhatan believing they would have access to broadband only to receive a rude awakening when they moved into their homes and found it wasn’t available. Most surprising of all was hearing a woman say she was willing to pay more taxes to have access to broadband. You have to be desperate if you are volunteering to pay more taxes, right? The years since have had a few ups but way too many downs in this rollercoaster of a broadband journey. We heard presentation after presentation about what was out there on the market and what was or wasn’t possible in Powhatan and saw increasing frustration on the supervisors through the years that the experts they were turning to for help either couldn’t or wouldn’t help. I know it was a major frustration for every one of them through the years.

Pearl Lee: a woman with a vision By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
I spent my early childhood days running the streets of Montgomery, Alabama, totally oblivious to the fact that the city was a hotbed of protest and rebellion and the center of the Civil Rights movement in America. My environment was decidedly separate, and a long way from equal, from a large population of African Americans in the capitol city. What may surprise you is Montgomery was somewhat of an enigma in a legacy of the defeat laden South that was slow to change, especially when it came to Civil Rights. Although Dexter Avenue was often clogged with protesters, or large crowds were gathered to hear Gov. George Wallace deliver a fiery speech on segregation, the town was civil, but alive with the controversy of change. Much of my time in Montgomery was spent at my grandparents’ home in the downtown area. They had a lifelong maid named Pearl Lee who was more like a member of the family than a domestic servant. Pearl Lee’s wisdom becomes more evident and insightful as I grow older, and many of the things I’ve based basic beliefs upon came from her cautious words. I wondered at her ability to keep track of more than two dozen grandchildren, their names, birthdays and special events. She did all that and also
had the unique ability to make each one of them feel like they were her favorites. That was important to us. But, at the end of the day, Pearl Lee always left with a bag of leftovers and headed back across town to her tiny apartment in one of Montgomery’s most desperate areas. One of my uncles or aunts would always arrive around 6 p.m. to give Pearl Lee a ride, and all that was left was a large plate of Brownies or cornbread for us to munch on. Years later, I passed through Montgomery on my way to spring break in New Orleans. I arrived at my grandmother’s house, but the old street didn’t look the same. I walked past the tiny homes looking for the one that I recognized, but nothing was obvious. I approached two very old women sitting in rocking chairs on a small porch that faced the interstate that had dissected their neighborhood, and transformed their city. Pearl Lee and NaNa stared intently as I approached. “I know you,” my grandmother said. “That is James’ son,” Pearl Lee chimed in. I visited for a few hours, but it only took minutes to realize that Pearl Lee and my grandmother were more than employer/employee— they were best friends. Their stories belonged to each other, and they spoke of each other’s families as if they were their own. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-344-8746

Differences that seemed so important in years gone by didn’t seem to matter to either of them now, and they displayed a refreshing form of race relations that inspired. They knew no color, no system of segregation. As we still struggle to achieve equality across America, these thoughts and recognition of Pearl Lee seem appropriate. While she did not enjoy the deserved freedoms and rights that were rightfully due, Pearl Lee lived with dignity and displayed a sense of wisdom that should be envied by most of us. Today, Pearl Lee’s grandchildren are successful lawyers, doctors and professionals in the Montgomery area. They have achieved the social status and success that unfairly eluded their parents and grandmother, and I can only hope their contribution will be half as important as the one Pearl Lee made. I know that she’d be mighty proud. My last visit with Pearl Lee was years ago. Her children had purchased a small shotgun style home in Montgomery. We talked, laughed, and I again felt like I was her favorite grandchild. As I was leaving, I noticed a collage of photographs on an overcrowded pegboard in the dining room. There were pictures of all of Pearl Lee’s children, white and black, placed in no particular order, but all together. That’s the way Pearl Lee saw the world. What a vision!
of fiber optic cable, mostly in the western and northern parts of the county, has the potential to serve 2,016 “unserved passings,” which could either be commercial or residential customers. Later that evening at the school board meeting, Jones said that would see the families of an estimated 870 Powhatan students gaining access. Talk about bridging the digital divide! When I think about the winding country roads, long gravel driveways, and houses so tucked away you almost need a compass to find them, hearing the words “universal coverage” sounds like a tall order. But man won’t it be exciting if it comes to fruition. This moment is absolutely a victory for the current board members, who not only worked the problem through a pandemic and made the partnership with entities like Firefly and Dominion, but stepped out and made the final decision to commit at least $3 million of the county’s American Rescue Plan funds and up to $5.3 million if they can’t get addition grant funding to this project. It is also a victory for every board member, staff member, resident, and community partner who has been working on this problem for years. I am sure they felt like beating their heads against a wall each time they hit a new dead end, but they kept going in various ways, trying to find a solution, and that mattered. If they stick to the timeline, we still won’t have universal coverage until 2024, which means many residents and businesses still have a while to wait depending on where they are in the connection process. But as trite as it may sound, being able to say the end is in sight, while not perfect, is definitely progress in the right direction. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Area youth embrace summer fun at 4-H camp Contributed Report
in 2020, Virginia 4-H was given the green light for overnight camps this May. However, this did come with lots of restrictions to ensure all the youth and adults onsite were safe and healthy.” Virginia’s 4-H camping program followed guidance from the American Camping Association, as well as the Governor’s Executive Order as it pertained to overnight services of camps, as defined in § 35.11 of the Code of Virginia. Center directors were also in constant contact with the local health department and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In an effort to keep everyone safe, campers stayed in “pods,” or groups, for the week. The
Area youth braved the pandemic and all its changes to attend Powhatan 4-H camp this summer! Despite the many restrictions due to COVID-19, youth traveled to the Jamestown 4-H Center in Williamsburg to experience a fun, safe week in July. Powhatan 4-H, along with Goochland and Hanover 4-H, were joined by 16 teens and three adult volunteers for a total of 105 in attendance this summer. This was half the number of campers typically in attendance for this week of 4-H camp. According to Cathy Howland, Powhatan 4-H Extension Agent, “After a summer without 4-H camp

Jones responded that, “those conversations have not occurred at this at the state level with the VDH. We follow the VDH guidance on this and the state guidance on this but that hasn’t happened yet. We did hear that vaccines would be available for 5- to 11-year-olds at the end of October, beginning of November today, so that would be certainly an option that would be available for those who choose to take advantage of it.” Staffing issues Jones touched on two areas related to staff and COVID that were most prevalent. The first related to contact tracing. Because of the number of cases, in one six-day period, staff at the high school alone had to spend 50 hours contact tracing after hours and on the weekends, Jones said. It was probably worse at the middle school and significant at the elementary
same group of youth and counselors were in the cabins and lodges together, as well as classes and meals. The weeklong camp provided the youth, ages 9 to 13, an opportunity to spend time outside trying outdoor activities like kayaking, fishing, archery, building camp fires with s’mores, and meeting new friends. Although 4-H camp didn’t look the same as in past years, it was still a positive experience complete with opportunities for young people to gain important life skills. For many campers, this was the first time spending the night away without parents. Most return home with a better sense of responsibility, respect of others and deci-
schools. Because of the burden this is placing on staff, the administration decided to hire two dedicated contact tracers to assist the school administration and nurses. The two positions would be solely dedicated to contact tracing and would be funded by American Rescue Plan funds, he said. “It would take a huge burden off of our administration and our nurses so they could actually spend time working with students and doing their other responsibilities,” Jones said. “We have those two individuals and we will bring those to you next month for approval, because it is desperately needed. I was on a call with superintendents around the state earlier today and most school divisions are starting to look for help in this area. A couple school divisions have reported nurses quitting and leaving, and certainly we can’t afford this during this time.” Jones said the extra burden
sion-making skills. “Without a huge commitment from our amazing team of teen and adult volunteers, we couldn’t have given this opportunity back to the youth to attend 4-H camp this summer,” Howland said. She sent a huge “Thank You” to the following teens from Powhatan County: CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Shelby Akins, Chase Babb, Anabel Bichsel, Bre Gil- Shown above, Powhatan resident Tim Kidwell lespie, Reagan Hansen, poses for a photo with the teen counselors on Jack Lamm, Jack Laroche; the final day of Powhatan 4-H camp. and fantastic adults: Frankie for teen counselors will be es, and a whole new format Barham, Tim Kidwell and available through the Pow- for 4-H camp, the campers Brandon Walters.

this school year is because of the higher number of cases, which the school division only saw at one point during the last school year in January 2021. The other issue Jones asked the board to consider was employee leave related to COVID. During the last school year, leave associated with COVID was covered under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act that expired on Dec. 31, 2020. After its expiration, the division continued to provide the same coverage until March 31, 2021, once all employees had received an opportunity to become fully vaccinated. Jones asked the board members to take action at the next regular meeting to decide how they want to handle it moving forward. Currently employees who need to miss work due to a COVID-related illness, quarantine, or childcare related to a COVID interaction currently use any leave they have available to them. No action was taken on the issue at this meet-
ing but the board members seemed to agree some action was needed. Masks Masks have been a hot topic for parents ever since Jones announced on Aug. 9 that the division would require masks be worn by everyone inside school buildings and on buses at the start of the school year. The announcement was an about face from the school division’s initial position that masks would be optional. As they have been at the last several meetings, many of the comments about masks centered on the argument that they are ineffective in fighting viruses and thus are unnecessary. Lisa Stancil talked about the size of holes in masks compared to the size of a virion, which is an entire virus particle, and likened it to “throwing sand at a chain link fence.” Gray Smith talked about the psychological impacts that
masks, social distancing, and seemingly arbitrary decisions about which activities will be allowed are having on students. He mentioned the cancellation of the Homecoming dance and the memories that will be lost. Lauren Lahham took issue with the way religious exemptions for masks are being handled and how she feels children are being singled out and isolated. Stephanie Wrenn criticized the handling of students found to not be wearing masks or wearing them improperly. Repeated infractions could result in students having to attend a special session where they relearn how to properly wear a mask. Wrenn took issue not only with the lack of notification of some infractions that could lead to the class but also the possible implications if students have to take the class repeatedly. She questioned whether repeated problems could lead to harsher punishment such as an in-school suspension.

Knights win 3-0 BSH volleyball earns early victory in return to the varsity level
Staff Reports
By Nick Vandeloecht
Powhatan field hockey rolled out to a 6-0 start to the season with this past week’s dominant routs of Clover Hill on Monday and Manchester on Wednesday. “I just think these games have been good for us for many reasons,” Powhatan head coach Stephanie Tyson said of the team’s six-game season-opening stretch. “The first couple games were two overtime wins, and that showed we could stick together through adversity, and then we hoped we were going to start scoring some goals these last few games, and we’ve been able to do that.
Sports Editor POWHATAN -- The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights now have a win under their belts in their return to the varsity level this fall after they routed The New Community School in straight sets (2516, 25-19, 25-15) last Monday. “It was excellent,” head coach Cat Ringling said of the win. “We were worried about working on transitioning, and they had no problems with transitioning tonight, so that really, I think, made the difference.” The team did not miss serves for the most part, and Ringling said that the “communication was really good tonight.” “They also were really good about watching what was happening on the other side of the net and

BSH wins 60-0 Johnson rushes for 185 yards in 38-6 loss Staff Reports Blessed Sacrament Huguenot football’s phenomenal start to the 2021 8-man fall season continued with its 60-0 road win over previously unbeaten Brunswick Academy in Lawrenceville on Friday. The Knights racked up six touchdowns rushing on a wet field and converted six of eight attempted 2-point conversions, all rushing. Harrison Lee had an explosive showing early in the game, rolling out fi-
ery touchdown rushes of 59 and 53 yards in the team’s first two series on offense. Lee had nine carries for 123 yards and three touchdowns, including a 5-yard TD run in the second half. Josh Decker churned out 95 yards and a TD on 14 touches and added two 2-point rushes. Will Fichter ripped off an incendiary, late-game 73-yard run for his first varsity touchdown and added a 2-point run. Hunter Case, BSH’s leading rusher coming see BSH, pg. 3B
By Billy Fellin Special Correspondent POWHATAN -- It is no doubt a tall task when the No. 2 ranked team in the Times Dispatch Top 10 rolls into town, but the Powhatan Indians looked to be up to the challenge early on in Friday’s contest against Manchester at James Woodson Stadium. However, several miscues and missed opportunities were not the formula Powhatan was looking for to complete the upset, and the Indians fell to the Lancers 38-6. “I told our guys that we played BILLY FELLIN/POWHATAN TODAY hard, but we made too many misMitchell Johnson rushed for takes,” Powhatan head coach Mike 185 yards and Powhatan’s Henderson said. “You can’t play a lone score in Friday’s game. team as good as Manchester and

By no means would those three plays have changed the game to us winning, but now it’s a competitive game going into the second half and you give yourself a chance.” After the teams traded punts on each of their first two possessions, the Indians had a fumbled exchange on a handoff that the Lancers pounced on to start their drive at Powhatan’s 28-yard line. Just two plays later, Manchester scored on a 27-yard pass to make it 7-0. A heavy dose of senior running back Mitchell Johnson on Powhatsee POWHATAN, pg. 3B
C&F Bank’s the Week Bank’sAthletes Athlete of the FOOTBALL ALL-STARS WHO: POWHATAN FOOTBALL WHAT THEY DID: A collective team effort across the board – 337 yards of offense, stonewalling defense and key special teams plays – propelled Powhatan past hosting Huguenot 28-6 on Friday, Sept. 10.
Senior running back Mitchell Johnson carried the ball 25 times for 119 yards and three touchdowns. Junior quarterback Dylan Trevillian completed 13 of 22 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown. Senior wide receiver Ethan Dowdy (jersey no. 12) caught nine of those passes for 123 yards and a 43-yard touchdown. Senior utility player Hans Rehme ran in one two-point conversion and
threw for another to kicker Tucker Thomas. Sophomore Oscar Whitely (jersey no. 25) led the team with 10 tackles and his fellow linebackers Chase Gayness, Wyatt Lowe (jersey no. 58) and Andrew Cheatham, all seniors, made nine, eight and six tackles, respectively. Cheatham added an interception. Ashton Tingle recovered a botched punt return by Huguenot early in the game.

making sure they were where they needed to be,” Ringling said last Monday. “That’s also important and part of the success for tonight definitely.” The varsity Knights did not rotate any players from the bench onto the floor, so the same six players – Jameson Ward, Sophie Thompson, Colleen Maynes, Charlie Potter, Kennedy Dowdy and Whitney Polster – held the court through all three sets. Their endurance shone through in the win. In addition to stringing together points for big leads on sizable service stretches in all three sets, the Knights had multiple low and diving receives to keep points alive – if not send them directly over the net – and they also made big blocks. Potter delivered a couple of blocks in the second set – including one for the first point of the stanza – and Dowdy stonewalled a huge shot by New Community for a point in the third after her teammate Ward kept the point alive by running in and getting her hands on a shallow ball in time to send it back over on a clean arch. “We’ve been working on blocking and timing mostly…and that really paid off tonight, too,” Ringling said,
“and especially, too, when some of the girls haven’t had the opportunity to have that kind of blocking going on, and you can just see that the light goes off when they get the timing right. It’s a huge advancement for us tonight… that will definitely help going forward.” The Knights and the visitors tied up to 7-7 in the first set before a 7-0 run fueled by a 6-point serving stretch from Maynes, as well as attacks from Maynes, Dowdy and Potter, gave the Knights the lead for good. Potter put away the first set point on a kill. In the third set, Thompson went back to serve with her Knights trailing New Community 13-12, and she unleashed a 5-0 lead-clinching run, with the visiting team unable to get any of those five serves by Thompson back over the net. The Knights secured the set and the match on a final 4-0 burst, sparked by another kill from Potter. Maynes served through the final three points. Per team stats, Polster contributed four service aces and four assists to the Knights’ win last Monday. “They did really well,” Ringling said of her players. “I’m proud of them, they are super excited that they won, and it always feels good to win.” Following the win, the Knights put up two hard-fought sets in a 3-0 loss to

Johnson, Reimondo and Hope Burton each scored 1. Jordan racked up three assists in Wednesday’s win, and Campbell, Griffith, Erica and Hogston each contributed one. Manchester’s defense withstood Powhatan’s relentless pressure through the entire first quarter, but the floodgates opened in the second, as the home team poured in 4 goals before halftime and was able to consistently push the ball up to the box and tap it in from short distances. The key to being able to consistently do that, Campbell pointed out, was a matter of “everyone communicating and everyone just being there for you.” “I think everyone’s there for each other on the team, and I know everyone’s there for me – especially Jordan and Kate, who’s on my left side,” Campbell said. “We know that everyone on our team would work their butts off for every other person on the team,” Jordan said. “That’s what makes it so much better when you get down there. You know that someone’s going to be there for you.” Jordan and Campbell are among the many players who have been part of Powhatan’s successes and growth over these last few years. “It feels awesome just to know we’ve put in all of this work for the past years and even preseason this year, and with all of these girls – it feels so awesome to know everything that we’ve worked so hard for is paying off right now,” Jordan said. “It’s all paying off. Literally nothing’s stopping us now,” Campbell said. “It’s so great, and it feels really good.” Powhatan was set to play at Cosby on Monday and will host Midlothian on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Next week, Powhatan hosts James River on Monday, Sept. 27 at 4:30 p.m. and Monacan on Wednesday, Sept. 29 at 7 p.m.

“I think it’s been a confidence boost for everyone. So many people have gotten in and got minutes, and I think that just helps the team a lot.” The Indians have outscored their last three opponents 28-1. “I really think it speaks a lot to how much we’ve grown just this far in the season,” said Powhatan senior captain Jordan Krauss, who led the team in goals scored on Monday with 3. She pointed to their progress in their transitioning, and also to how they’ve been able to use all of their players. “All of the utility players, we’ve put them in, and they’ve really helped us get it NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY down the field.” “I think everyone has just been Powhatan’s Lexi Campbell sends the ball towards the goal in Wednesday’s working so great, and we just get along home opener versus Manchester.

Powhatan battles Monacan in competitive match By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN -- The two Class 4, Region B finalists from this past spring went head-to-head once more – this time at Powhatan High School’s gymnasium. While the defending regional champions, led by senior Abbey Clayton, emerged victorious over the Powhatan Indians again (25-21, 20-25, 2517, 25-21), Powhatan head coach Cindy Bryant and her team were encouraged after their competitive match with the Chiefs. Following a tough straight-sets loss to Midlothian the week prior, Powhatan emphasized passing in the practices leading up to Tuesday’s game, and it paid off, Bryant said. She was “super proud” of her team following the game, and she noted that they had been working to “really get the focus on progress, not perfection.” “Tonight was major progress over last Tuesday,” Bryant said last Tuesday. “We’ll take it.” Sophomore Sam Flippo, who was celebrating her 16th birthday last Tuesday, was a major force up the middle for Powhatan. She led the team with 12 kills and added three digs. Senior utility player Faith Henderson also had a big night as she doubledoubled with 11 kills and 10 digs and added 2 blocks and 1 ace.

an’s next drive had the Indians driving again, but a personal foul called against Powhatan on second down put the Indians well behind the chains and led to a turnover on downs. Manchester drove the ball down the field on its next drive for a 22yard field goal to make it 10-0. Following a Powhatan punt, the Indians’ defense held the Lancers to a three-and-out, but the Lancers downed their punt on Powhatan’s 2-yard line. Another fumbled handoff occurred on the ensuing play and the Lancers recovered it for a touch-
Senior Emilie McDaniels, who did not play against Midlothian, took on the second setter role last Tuesday as part of the team’s goal to get a little more consistency in its set location. As a result, McDaniels was able to showcase her versatility as she delivered 3 aces, 2 kills and six digs to go along with her team-leading 17 assists. Junior Olivia Moss made 15 assists and also showed her versatility with 4 kills, 1 ace and five digs. Senior Libero Kendal McMullin “dug the daylights” out of hard-hitting Clayton according to Bryant as she racked up 24 digs. McMullin also had 1 kill and 1 ace. Junior Carly Rehme assembled two serving stretches that keyed Powhatan to its second-set victory. She tallied up 4 aces, 4 kills and 16 digs. McMullin and Rehme led the way in absorbing several monster shots launched by Clayton, who was Monacan’s centerpiece on offense. In addition to weathering many of Clayton’s crushing attacks and finding a rhythm with their passing, placement and defending, Powhatan drilled several attacks past the Chiefs’ defenders and to the backline for uncontested kills. Serving was also smart, aggressive and consistent across the board for Powhatan. Assistant coach Jason Musick calls the serves, and Bryant said that the players “really listen to him.”
down. Powhatan trailed 17-0 before halftime. Manchester needed just two plays on its first drive of the second half to make it 24-0 following a 48-yard touchdown pass. After another Manchester score made it 31-0, Powhatan added its lone score of the game on its next drive when Johnson broke through for a 40-yard score. Johnson was a continual bright spot for the Powhatan offense, rushing for 185 yards against the Lancers defense. “He’s a great running back,” Henderson said. “We expect him to play well. He did a lot of great things.” Throughout the game, Powhatan’s offense was able to move the

Powhatan’s Sam Flippo (5) attacks in the Indians’ home volleyball match last Tuesday, which was also Flippo’s 16th birthday.
Down by one set, Powhatan trailed Monacan 7-3 in the second when Flippo rocked a kill to send her teammate Rehme back to serve. The junior’s linear serve combined with kills from Flippo, Moss and junior hitter Chesed Russell to catapult Powhatan ahead of Monacan at 11-7. The Chiefs battled back to tie the match at 15-15, but Henderson and Russell each added a kill, Flippo con-
ball from its own 25-yard line to Manchester’s 25, but once they got near or in the Lancers’ red zone, forward movement stalled. One prime example was just before halftime. With the score 17-0, Johnson rumbled for a 60-yard gain to put the ball at Manchester’s 21, but a holding call pushed the Indians back and three consecutive incomplete passes ended the opportunity. “It was very frustrating to see,” Henderson said. “That’s going to be a big focus of this week. We need to figure out a better way.” Powhatan will host George Wythe on Friday at 7 p.m. Prior to the game, the Indians will dedicate the field house in honor of the late Ernie Hernderson.
tinued to fire on all cylinders as she mixed in three attacks for points in a late 5-1 run and McDaniels added a block during a 4-0 serving stretch by Rehme that put Powhatan on set point at 24-18. A Powhatan serve that went out and an attack from Clayton helped Monacan tighten the lead, but Flippo put away the second set for Powhatan on the next point. The Indians in the fourth set surged out of a 17-13 deficit with the help of three aces from McDaniels to take the lead at 18-17. But Clayton continued to complement her hammering swing with stellar consistency, as she swung the Chiefs back into the lead on backto-back kills. Clayton landed 5 of the Chiefs’ final 8 points. Contributing 1 each in that stretch were Isabella Kvetensky on a setter dump and Macy Kane on a service ace to shallow space. Monacan clinched match point on a Powhatan serve that hit the net. Powhatan the following night took a straight-sets loss to James River (2515, 25-16, 25-18) and is looking to bounce back this week. The Indians were slated to play at Clover Hill on Tuesday at 7 p.m. and will host L.C. Bird on Thursday at 7 p.m. The Indians will also play at Cosby this coming Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m.

into the game, carried the ball nine times for 36 yards and a team-leading three 2-point runs. Zander Nadeau had five carries for 56 yards and a 35-yard TD in the second quarter. Defensive end David Mann had a whale of a game. Not only did he scoop up a fumble and return it 25 yards for a touchdown, but he also caught an interception and returned the pick 25 yards to the house for his second defensive touch-
down of the game. Lee caught an interception that he returned 45 yards, and Garrett Musselman, Gage Smith and Afton Harrow each recovered a fumble. Smith and Lee led the team with 6.5 tackles apiece, and Musselman dished out five tackles for loss. Mann made five tackles including a TFL, Harrow and Smith each had a TFL and Nathan Roberts had a sack. BSH will rematch Covenant on the road in Charlottesville on Friday, Sept. 24 at 4 p.m.
