Thousands pour into Village for wine festival By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan Festival of the Grape was back stronger than ever in 2021 as thousands of people poured into the Village area on Saturday. Now in its 18th year, the mostly annual event had a beautiful sunny day to welcome it back after a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic. While resting the day after the event, Angie Cabell, executive director of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber was again proud and appreciative of the extraordinary community support and enthusiasm for the wine festival. Organizers did not have final numbers at press time. But while attendance isn’t expected to have passed 10,000, Cabell said this year’s turnout will likely set a record for the event. “Yesterday they showed up like never before and each of our vendors, civic
groups, and members is grateful for their support after a difficult year. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Village on the first Saturday in October 2022,” she said on Sunday. As always, the festival was a mix of familiar faces and newcomers, both in guests and vendors. Many of them shared how much they enjoyed this year’s festival and its vibe. John Fitzhugh, co-owner of Lazy Days Winery in Amherst, said the winery has been participating in the Festival of the Grape for about a decade and that this weekend’s event was one of its first in almost two years and the first where they offered sampling. While the winery has a tasting room, festivals make up 60% of its income, so he is thrilled they are starting again and happy to be back in Powhatan with the loyal customers PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND they have here.

PCPS honors teachers of the year, retirees Residents lobby for
consideration of a county senior center
By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – Trying to gather two years’ worth of Teachers of the Year and retirees for Powhatan County Public Schools together seemed like an uphill battle at times. Worrying about safety concerns and not conflicting with other events took some trial and error. But administrators persevered and were able to honor a good portion of the two groups in a special recognition dinner held on Sept. 29 at Independence Golf Club. Meredith Parker, director of human resources, said

POWHATAN – The services provided to senior citizens – or the lack thereof – was a hot topic among the public that came to speak last week to the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors. During the board’s meeting on Monday, Sept. 27, numerous local residents and agency representatives spoke to the members about the need to pay closer attention to
the services that are being provided to local seniors. In particular, the request for the board to consider the need for a senior center was brought up by several people. The issue of seniors was only on the agenda in the form of a presentation from Senior Connections by interim executive director Angie Phelon, but many more people spoke during the two public comment periods on various related subjects.

Farmers market wraps up its second season By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan Village Farmers Market wrapped up its 2021 season last week on a beautiful early fall day. Lisa Dearden, executive director of RVA Agriculture, the nonprofit running the market, said its second season on the grounds of Bienvenue in the Village area ran much smoother than 2020, when thinks could get a bit rocky at times starting a new market during a pandemic. Every Thursday since May 2021, the market has brought a mix of baked goods, produce, homemade crafts, meat, artwork, and more. The market has also had a food truck every week where people can grab a meal and, thanks to sponsorship from Village Bank, listen to musicians
perform every week. “This year is way better. We have great vendors. Everybody says what a nice vibe this market has. It’s shady, it’s on the grass, people walk here. It’s very community supported,” Dearden said. The regular markets and the pop-up events all act as an incubator for small businesses not selling at stores or at a farm stand, Dearden said. “We have a lot of new farmers, which I have not seen in my 16 years of managing markets. This past year, I don’t know if the pandemic made people reevaluate what they were doing and shift gears a little bit, but there are some young families and they are new to farming. I just think that is really cool,” she said. Even as the four regular farmers markets that RVA Agriculture see MARKET, pg. 10

By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – Volunteerism is the cornerstone of the Free Clinic of Powhatan. In a time where health care costs are putting incredible burdens on families, part of the reason the Free Clinic can do all it does to help people in need in the county is because of volunteers, Executive Director Connie
Moslow said last week. Of the 70 people who keep the clinic running, 63 are volunteers and only seven are paid. “Once we get someone in the clinic to volunteer, they like to volunteer because they see the patient. They actually see what they are doing and that makes a difference,” Moslow said. “A lot of times you do something see MOSLOW, pg. 4

Operation Christmas Child collects shoeboxes
Contributed Report
Area churches and organizations will once again collect gift-filled shoeboxes to send to children around the world. The gifts are collected on behalf of Operation Christmas Child. In 2021, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect enough shoebox gifts to reach another 9.7 million children in countries like Peru, the Philippines, Rwanda and Ukraine—over 170 countries total. More than 9.1 million shoebox gifts were collected worldwide in 2020, with more than 7.8 million collected in the United States. The Richmond area Operation Christmas Child organization set a goal of 53,500 shoebox gifts for 2021. In addition to millions of shoebox packers, a network of more than 15,000 volunteers
(9,000 U.S.; 6,000 worldwide) serve year-round to carry out the project. During National Collection Week (Nov. 15 – 22, 2021), Operation Christmas Child will collect the gift-filled shoeboxes at more than 4,000 drop-off locations in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Locally, shoebox gifts may be dropped off at Crestwood Church, 1200 Charter Colony Parkway, Midlothian, VA 23114 or you may go to https://www.samaritanspurse.org/ operation-christmas-child/drop-off-locations/ for a complete list of locations.

Red Lane Baptist to mark 175 years Contributed Report There is a season for everything. Ecclesiastes 3 tells us there is a time to be born and a time to die. There is a time to break down and a time to build up. In other words, every animal, human, company, organization, and government has a genesis as well as an expiration. It is quite sobering to think that the average human lives only 78.7 years. Many other things do not survive that long. The relatively short lifespan of things makes the celebration of milestones all the more important. Red Lane Baptist Church has hit one of those significant milestones, turning 175 years old this year. Organized
and birthed in 1846, with an original membership of just 31 members, the church has a rich history in Powhatan. Over all those years, the Bible has been preached, the gospel has been shared, lives have been changed, missionaries have been sent, and churches have been planted. God has been faithful to His church, and we believe He will continue to be faithful for generations to come. For this reason, Red Lane has set aside the weekend of Oct. 9 to 10 as a homecoming to celebrate the successes of the past and reach forward to take hold of the blessings of the future. We would love for you to join us on this weekend,
too. On Saturday, Oct. 9, a service will be held at 4 p.m. in the worship center. This service will be focused on remembering the history and heritage of the church through a panel discussion with several members. It will be followed with a reception in the fellowship hall. Then on Sunday, Oct. 10, the service will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a wonderful time of praise and worship. Pastor Johnny Hunt will be the guest preacher. He was the long-time pastor of the First Baptist Church of Woodstock, Georgia. He currently serves as the senior vice president of Evangelism and Leadership at the
North American Mission Board. Hunt is a powerful and anointed preacher. We hope to see you at Red Lane Baptist on this special occasion. For more information, visit https://www.redlanebaptist.org/175th-anniversary.

Christmas tree but not park By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors decided to move forward with plans for a community Christmas tree in the Village area but eschewed going as far as creating a new small park. During the board’s meeting on Monday, Sept. 27, the members had an open discussion about a proposal that Chairwoman Karin Carmack, who represents District 5, brought forward. No official vote was taken, but pending a workshop on the matter, all of the board members agreed to move forward with plans for a community Christmas tree. The original plan that Carmack brought forward to the board last week
was more involved. While she suggested a Christmas tree on a small plot of county-owned land near the corners of Marion Harland Lane and Old Buckingham Road, she also proposed creating an adjacent park with a walking path, trees, a picnic shelter, an apiary and educational sign, picnic tables, and a pollinator garden. Carmack said she didn’t have firm figures for the cost to build a small park but estimated it would cost roughly $50,000. However, she suggested that the county could seek grants and community sponsors to reduce the use of taxpayer dollars. While all of the board members expressed willingness to create a community Christmas tree, Mike Byerly, Dissee CHRISTMAS, pg. 7

and you have no idea who it is going to, but they see the patients and hear some of their stories. It is a good environment. It is a friendly, warm environment.” When it comes to volunteers at the Free Clinic, no one has given more time and effort to the mission than Moslow, who founded it in 2008 and has never taken a paycheck in all her years serving as executive director. So it was only really a surprise to her when she was presented with the first Connie Moslow Volunteer of the Year Award at the clinic’s volunteer, donor, and staff appreciation dinner on Wednesday, Sept. 29. “I had not one little tiny inkling that this was going to happen. I was very surprised, very pleased, and very humbled,” Moslow said with a
grin after the appreciation dinner. With the opening of the Free Clinic’s new location on Skaggs Road this year came the need for additional volunteers. The clinic is now open five days a week and offers additional services in-house, so new volunteers have signed on to join some who have been there for years or even since it was founded, said Betsy Blandford, volunteer coordinator. A decision was made a little over a month ago that this would be a good time to create a volunteer award to thank people for their hard work and dedication, she added. “This year, who should get the award but the ultimate Free Clinic of Powhatan volunteer, Connie Moslow, who has never done anything but volunteer? She has never taken a salary of all of the years of the clinic’s existence,” Blandford

said. Moslow has given untold hours to the Free Clinic to make it happen, to keep it going, and to make it better, Blandford said. “She is the face, she is the name that goes with the clinic, so she is the personification of the clinic. She has a very positive outlook on all of the many facets of the clinic, so I think she is the picture of what you would want with any volunteer who comes to the clinic,” Blandford said. Moslow said she loves the idea of the volunteer award named for her continuing long after she is gone. Going forward, she said it will be difficult to pick a recipient because “we have a lot of very worthy volunteers.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Awareness walk aims to help prevent overdose deaths Contributed Report The Rural Substance Abuse Awareness Coalition (RSAAC) of Goochland and Powhatan recently hosted the second annual International Overdose Awareness Walk on Aug. 28, at Rassawek Vineyards. The purpose of the event is to end overdose deaths, remember without stigma those who have died, and to acknowledge the grief of the family and friends left behind. RSAAC’s plan to end overdoses involves raising awareness of the organizations and resources that provide support, prevention, treatment, recovery, and a sense of belonging and inclusiveness to those impacted by addiction. From Aug. 21 to Aug. 27, team participants logged their steps and RSAAC spotlighted community resources on its

the evening was an opportunity to praise the Teachers of the Year and retirees for all they have done for the division and its students. While all of them could not attend last week’s event, the division still wanted to send the message that they were appreciated and honor them in a way that wasn’t possible before because of COVID-19 restrictions. “It is such a big event or moment in the life cycle of an employee both for retirement and then being the Teacher of the Year. Those are both two huge milestones that we don’t want to overlook and not celebrate,” Parker said. “COVID made us push it back, but we wanted to make sure that we recognized and showed our teachers how much we value them for huge accomplishments like that – the amount of years of service that our retirees have given us and the amazing efforts that our Teachers of the Year have done for our students.” The 2020-2021 Teachers of the Year honored were Lauren Ayers, Flat Rock Elementary School (FRES) and division winner; Mary Ayers, Powhatan Elementary School (POWES); Cindy Barnes, Pocahontas Elementary School (POCES); Greg Perry, Powhatan Middle School (PMS), and Amanda Wilson, Powhatan High School (PHS). The 2021-2022 Teachers of the Year honored were Nancy Taylor, PHS and division winner; Traci Paden (FRES); Cara Alexander (POWES), and Jessica Miller, (POCES). Powhatan Middle school chose all teachers as this year’s recipient. The retirees honored at the dinner were: Sandy Anderson (PHS); Jane Al-

Those who could attend seemed touched by the effort the school division put in to recognize them even it was delayed. Susan Midkiff, who worked for the division as a teacher for 32 years, said the dinner was a joy that she truly appreciated. She retired at the end of the 20192020 school year and said she loved her years working with Powhatan’s students. “I really loved all my years teaching in Powhatan. I think the thing that I loved the most is I actually got to teach the children of children I taught. I still see a lot of them in the community and keep

up with a lot of my students,” she said. “So coming back and seeing everyone again is just great.” Cara Alexander, who is in her ninth year of teaching, said she felt honored that the school division held the dinner to honor its Teachers of the Year and retirees. She appreciated the introduction by Constance Deal, Powhatan Elementary’ s principal, about why she was chosen at the end of last year. “I guess when you are teaching you don’t always think about the impact that you are making on your students. Of course that is what I hope I do above everything else. So it is reassuring and nice to hear and be appreciated,” she said. Amanda Wilson is in her 11th year teaching at the high school, where she was a graduate in the Class of 2005. She was excited to get together with all the
honorees last week and grateful they could put something together. As good as the event was, she said she still appreciates that her students were present working on a project in the library in March 2020 when she learned she was the school’s Teacher of the Year. “I think I was one of the lucky ones, because I can’t imagine getting this honor without my kids being there,” she said. Still, she said she really appreciated the school division’s more formal recognition at the dinner last week. “As teachers we don’t get a ton of chances to be formally recognized. You don’t see those things that you see in the business world. So this is exciting, I can’t lie. Selfishly, it is exciting to be recognized and be spoiled a little bit,” she said with a huge grin.

Cumberland County Cumberland Schools hold 9/11 remembrance By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
CUMBERLAND – Cumberland County Public Schools (CCPS) remembered the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks that took place on Sept. 11, 2001, with a moving ceremony that incorporated students and local first responders and veterans. On the morning of Friday, Sept. 10, a remembrance event was held in the gymnasium of Cumberland High School to honor those men, women, and children who died that day. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, organizers chose to have only the students participating in the event at the ceremony and showed a recording to the rest of the school division. Lt. Col. Veronica Baker, senior army instructor with the JROTC program, said a combination of it being the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks and the United States’ recent exit from Afghanistan brought home even more how momentous this occasion was for the nation. While planning the event, organizers were mindful of the fact that
none of Cumberland’s students today were alive when the attacks happened, Baker said. “Even though they weren’t born, what happened that day impacts how they live today. Some of them have family members that were impacted directly or lost family members or experienced different issues because of what happened that day. So there is a connection in some ways,” she said. “Also, it is something that happened to our country and we pray to God that it never happens again. They need to be aware of that and the reasons why certain things are different in our country and the way that we move about the world is different because of that.” The ceremony incorporated students from all three Cumberland schools. When it began, a large number of students were holding a humungous American flag that they later took the time to ceremoniously fold and put away. JROTC cadets presented the colors and younger students read a timeline of events and details about the Virginia Freedom Flag. A large group of students also

end of the ceremony. Sgt. Jeffrey Minter, the middle and high school resource officer, said the ceremony was memorable. He recalled that on Sept. 11, 2001, he had been a Cumberland depusee CUMBERLAND, pg. 7

Cumberland Library restructures to better serve public Contributed Report Cumberland County Public Library is committed to serving the residents and visitors of Cumberland County. Whether you are checking out books or DVDs, stopping by to use a computer or the free WiFi, or dropping in to see if we have any information about your ancestors, the library staff is here for you. We welcome your questions and requests as well as your suggestions and comments on how we can continue to make improvements to meet your needs. As part of that commitment, we are restructuring our staff to ensure that a library staff member is always on hand at the circulation desk during business hours to assist any volunteers who are working, to provide specific support in using library technology, and to ensure that your visit doesn’t take any longer than it should. To help with this, we are adding a new part-time circulation specialist position to service the desk during the afternoon and are currently advertising that open position. By the end of the fiscal year, we hope to have all staff placed in strategic roles based on their interests and strengths. We have made several changes to the library during the pandemic to serve the community better. We now have a space for teenagers with tables and chairs as
well as electricity. We have created a more open space for our children and have purchased many new books to update our children’s collections. We have pulled classics and older award winners from all collections and created special locations for each one. Our graphic novel collection is growing and includes both fiction and non-fiction titles. We are also in the process of moving our Chromeboxes to one location and will be purchasing additional computers for public use. Programming changes include the use of Beanstack to log reading and set up challenges for the annual summer reading program.

Reading is a journey that shouldn’t be banned By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
W
hile leaving Powhatan County Public Library after picking up a book I put on hold last week, a display near the front entrance caught my eye. It took me a second after catching sight of what looked like a homemade police lineup poster to catch on to the true purpose of the display. There at the top in big bold letters was a sign reading “Caught Reading a Banned Book.” I had to smile. I’ve talked in this column before about my fierce support of the First Amendment because of my utmost belief in all it stands for, although I will admit I am more than a little partial to the bit about not “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” That is probably why I have always loved seeing libraries, bookstores, and schools participating in Banned Book Week – it is an event that celebrates the freedom to read. The annual event, which was launched in 1982, was held this year from Sept. 26 to Oct. 2. It was started originally in response to a surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores, and libraries, and today it still highlights the value of free and open access to information, according to BannedBooksWeek.org. “Banned Books Week brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular,” according to the site. The website offered a list of the Top 10 Most Challenged Books of 2020, which was compiled by the American Library Association (ALA) Office of Intellectual Freedom based on media stories and voluntary reports submitted by communities across the nation. Powhatan Library’s display noted these books in
posters along one wall and had several out on a display table with other books that had been banned, challenged, restricted, or burned. In reading the list, I noted that I had read four of the 10 books on the 2020 list. After reading a few of the descriptions in the books on the table, I promptly checked out two of them because they looked really interesting. In deciding to write this column, I looked at some of the websites dedicated to bringing awareness to the issue of banned books. The one I found the most fascinating was the above-mentioned ALA website that had not only the Top 10 list from 2020 but every Top 10 list compiled since 2001 and the main reasons each book was challenged. You name the reason, it is probably on there: religious reasons, sexual content, offensive language, LGBT characters or themes, sexism, racism, drugs/ alcohol/smoking, politically motivated, cultural insensitivity, violence, and the ubiquitous “unsuited for age group.” The lists from the past were incredible to peruse. Looking at the list, I saw quite a few that some people I know would object to personally, but whether they would want them banned altogether is a different story. Many of the books were ones I read in English classes. For whatever reason, John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” was back on the list again last year after not being listed since 2004. Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “To Kill a Mockingbird” was also back, although it was on more recently in 2017. Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye,” which made the list four times, including in 2020, remains one of the most impactful books I have ever read in my life. I’ll admit to being surprised by seeing The Bible on the list in 2015, but then on further reflection, I was surprised it was only listed that year. Some of the most popular teen series you might have read made lists over multiple years, including
Heyday of matchbooks has long burned out By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
I think we can safely say the matchbook has become a cultural artifact, a faded memory of an era when smoking was accepted and seemed almost chic. One was hard pressed to find an establishment, business or agency that didn’t have its own matchbooks, each printed with logos, clever sayings and contact information. Matchbooks began their decline when technology in the form of a butane lighter invaded their once singular territory. Medical science and public health education provided the final blow as smoking began a steady decline, thereby eliminating the need for matches. Advertising on matchbooks became almost politically incorrect long before the new millenium arrived. But for some, the matchbook never lost its mystique, the marvel of the eye-catching colors or unique logos. I began collecting them in college and only stopped when they became almost unavailable. There are suitcases full of them tucked away in my eves reflecting a variety of
places, people and things. Sadly, no one today cares, or even knows what a matchbook means. But, I personally will miss the marvel of mass marketing. How will murder mysteries survive without the infamous dropped book of matches that somehow links the killer with the crime scene? How about that mysterious phone number that appears on, what else, the inside of a book of matches? And what classic movie would be complete without the star striking the perfect fire from a matchbook as he interacts with glamorous costar. It’s hard to imagine that scene emerging with a butane lighter. And what about that famous note passed from secret lover to another on the inside of a dropped matchbook? Ever tried writing on the side of Bic lighter? Oh well. It’s all good for a memory, and I suppose we are better off without combustibles in our pockets, but matchbooks do deserve a place in the history of small things that made an even smaller influence on society. Even so, we can all mourn the passing of a small slice of Americana that delivered a message, one strike at a time.

ty about two years. He came off patrol and saw news footage of one of the attacks and “it changed everything.” “This right here brought a lot of memories back. It is still hard to believe it has been that long, but it is good every time we have a chance to try to remember that event. Even though it was one of the scariest moments in our history, it was one of the strongest moments in our history when everybody came together. It didn’t matter who you were, it didn’t matter where you were at, if you were an American, you were one,” he said.

trict 3, was the only other board member who spoke in support of the idea for an entirely new park. He acknowledged $50,000 is a great deal of money but said it would be a positive and significant investment in Powhatan residents and a tremendous asset to the county. A new park would generate another reason for people to enjoy the Village area, which is the “heart of our county,” he said. Tom Berry, the District 2 interim supervisor, said he is very supportive of a Christmas tree but Carmack’s plans for a small park were more than he envisioned for the project.

the Harry Potter series, Twilight series, Hunger Games series and more. The fact that the Captain Underpants series took the top spot in both 2012 and 2013 literally had me laughing out loud until I saw that it had made the list a whopping six times since 2002. The site noted that these lists are only a snapshot of book challenges and that surveys “indicate 82-97% of book challenges – documented requests to remove materials from schools or libraries – remain unreported and receive no media.” Are there books on these lists I don’t want to read? Absolutely. Libraries are full of books I never want to read for one reason or other. Are there books on this list I would probably find objectionable to my own beliefs? Absolutely. But does that mean I want to take away someone else’s right to read them? Absolutely not. Just because I have no interest in a topic or feel it conveys ideas I disagree with or flat out find objectionable – which I do, frequently – does not mean I want to impose my beliefs on others. Parents are their own category. I do believe parents have the right to have much higher input – and when they are younger, control – over what their children read until they are adults. They have the right to try to protect their children by limiting what materials they are exposed to and when. Their children! I am who I am today in part because of the books I have read – the perspectives I have heard and come to better understand, the empathy I have developed, the places I have visited in my mind, the imagination that has been sparked, and the challenge to myself to think critically about what I believe and why I believe it. I treasure the journey the books I have read have taken me on throughout my life, so why would I ever want to deny that to someone else?

ton, speak during the ceremony. Turner has been in the navy for 34 years. He was in the reserves when 9/11 happened but he was called back to active duty on Sept. 23, 2001. He is currently stationed in Bahrain. “It brought back a lot of memories. I got a little choked up. When I think about it I still get a little choked up. It changed a lot about how we look at dayto-day interactions, both here and overseas – everything from security measures to just dealing with other countries,” Turner said. He added that he was very proud of his daughter and the job she and her fellow students did on the ceremony. “People tend to forget if you don’t educate them, especially our young folks because they didn’t experience it. So they
don’t know. They have heard stories but when you actually live through it, it strikes a different chord,” he said. “But it is good that they participate, that they see, and they remember what it is all about, why we serve and why we do what we do. That is across all the branches to include first responders. A lot of good people lost their lives.” Command Sgt. Major Dwayne Tigs, JROTC army instructor, retired from the military in 2014 after 32 years. He said helping plan the 20th anniversary ceremony affected him in different ways. He was deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq, so it brought up memories for him, but he was appreciative of being able to impart the impact of Sept. 11, 2001, on his cadets and the rest of the student body.
Bill Cox, District 4, said he also was fine with a Christmas tree and a few benches but not a large unknown park. David Williams, District 1, agreed with the idea for a Christmas tree but said they needed to finalize a location. He asked if any of the stakeholders in the Village had been asked for their opinions about the location of a tree, and suggested the board have a workshop to work out the details and invite them to have input. During the public comment period, several people spoke in support of having a community Christmas tree. Dale Goodman, the 2021 Powhatan Christmas Mother, spoke in support of a Village park and a tree lighting
ceremony in the Village. Goodman talked about her theme for her year as Christmas Mother, which is “A Christmas of Unity,” and said an event planned around a community tree would help. “There have been so many things going on in our county. We need things to happen to bring us … together – something to make us smile, something to make not just the kids and the children but the elderly as well,” she said. Former Christmas Mother Gail Timberlake also supported a park and Christmas tree lighting, saying Powhatan needs “everything we can possibly come up with that would help us to bring unity to our community.”

Good times flow at Festival of the Grape
Th 2021 P The Powhatan h t Festival F ti l off the h Grape saw thousands h d off people l filli filling th the h Vill Village ll area to the brim as they enjoyed eating and drinking, shopping, listening to music, dancing, and meeting with friends.
FESTIVAL Continued from pg. 1
They offer the breakfast at the County Seat and everybody is well mannered and well behaved. It is just a good festival to come to with good music,” he said. Jeff Heidig, owner of Lake Anna Winery in Spotsylvania, said his winery has been participating in the festival since it started and keeps coming back because it is a well-run and organized festival and they always have great success. Like all of the other wineries, Lake Anna’s tent was hopping all day with people wanting to sample the selections they brought. “It is a party atmosphere. There are a lot of folks here. The music is always great with party dancing. The wine is flowing and there are so many good vendors here. There are so many options for people to see and do. I think that is why it is so attractive,” Heidig said. The festival, which had a full list of vendors, also saw some new additions, including several local Powhatan businesses. Crazy Rooster Brewing Company sold
cups of two of its most popular beers at its first festival since going into business, coowner Jason Miller said. At the beginning of the day, he was both extremely excited to introduce Crazy Rooster to a larger audience and nervous to see how their first festival would play out. He said at the end of the day that the Powhatan-based brewery’s tent had a fantastic day with a steady flow of people all day so it was never overwhelming. “We were able to sell out of all of the beer we brought (plus two extra smaller kegs we had delivered during the day) by 5 p.m. Folks were loving the Oakbridge Blonde Ale and Late Day Shadow IPA! Saw lots of familiar faces and many more new ones! We could not have had a better first festival experience and we are looking forward to next year,” he said in an email on Sunday morning. Another newcomer was fledgling business Triple Tap Coffee, which was started by a group of Powhatan firefighters. Co-founder Art Tate said it was one of the biggest days for the new business, which launched in March. The local cof-
fee company sold bags of coffee beans and hot and cold glasses of brewed coffee, as well as some merchandise and had a great time doing it, he said. “We sold out of cold brew, we only have a few bags of coffee left over, and the cup of coffee was a huge hit throughout the entire event,” he said Saturday evening. Several festivalgoers also shared that they had a great time. Amie Barnett of Midlothian brought a group of close friends as a bachelorette party to celebrate her upcoming wedding on Oct. 11. The bride-to-be said she had been to the Festival of the Grape twice before and all she wanted was for “everybody to have a good time, to celebrate this milestone in my life, and enjoy some good wine.” Kelly Gregory of Powhatan attended the festival for the second time along with her friend Barrett Wright of Powhatan. Gregory had her husband drop them off so they could safely enjoy a day of music, wine, and shopping together. “I am really excited that things are getting back to normal and we are able to be
around the community again,” she said. Another Powhatan resident, Mark Robertson, said he and his wife have attended every year of the festival and they were thrilled to be back. Robertson said he appreciates that there are different wineries every year so they can try new things. The couple and some friends had breakfast at the County Seat and set up their chairs on the lawn of the courthouse to get ready for a day of fun. In addition to seeing old friends, the Powhatan High School teacher said he loves seeing fellow teachers and former students at the festival, although sometimes he can’t believe they are old enough to drink. The festival has a great hometown feel because of all the people he recognizes, but at the same time he appreciates how many people come to Powhatan for the day. “It is still the Village, the courthouse. This is where we come on a regular basis and we love this event. I am just happy we are having it this year,” Robertson said.

said the main goals of the agency are to share resources so seniors can age in place, help them access health services, support nutrition and wellness through offerings such as delivered meals, and connecting people to each other. Phelon gave a brief presentation with highlights from fiscal year (FY) 2020 about Senior Connections’ response to Powhatan County. According to her presentation, the agency served the county in various ways: 45 clients called about needs; 30 individuals received social connection; 45 individuals were connected to resources; two caregivers received intense support, and seven individuals increased their access to additional services and benefits. David Williams, who represents District 1, asked Phelon to provide more information about senior needs since the board will soon be going into budget preparations. While not on the agenda as a speaker, Jayne Lloyd, who works with seniors in various ways through the Powhatan Department of Social Services, spoke briefly. She talked about Community Matters, a weekly gathering for seniors she started 10 months ago. The group meets from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Wednesday at the Powhatan Rescue Squad Building and is open to all seniors. Lloyd, who is the program coordinator for the department’s Ride Assist program for seniors, talked about how “Powhatan has been lost in the shuf-

“ROOT stands for Rural Overdose and Outreach Team. It is a pilot program launched almost six months ago as a collaboration between our community services board and ESS, who provide first responders for Powhatan County. Our mission is simple: To reduce and eventually eradicate the impact of addiction and overdoses in our community. We do this by filling the void of support when a person needs help, and offering resources, treatment, and support to families and people impacted by this disease.” Beth Macy, journalist and author of the book

fle.” Senior Connections served a very small number of people with bags of food throughout COVID-19 and provided Lloyd with supplies to provide masks and sanitizers for 95 households, she said. “That was the last that we really heard of them as far as any CARES Act/ COVID outreach to any of our seniors,” she shared. Lloyd pointed to a portion of Phelon’s presentation that mentioned 32 individuals being provided with transportation counseling and essential rides related to accessing health care. She said the agency was having issues with transportation providers mainly because the ones they were using were based closer to Richmond. She said she connected the agency with a provider closer to Powhatan and the two parties are talking now. “They do get funding for transportation, and when you see on your handout that number 32, that includes people they just counsel over the phone and they counsel them to call me for transportation if they live in Powhatan,” she said. She added that Senior Connections “gets funding for transportation to have fee-for-service providers and serve Powhatan. Very few seniors are actually served with transportation that way. My funding is for expenses for a volunteer program – for volunteers that do it for free,” Lloyd said. Among the local residents who came to speak to the board about addressing seniors’ needs, the chief request was for a
senior center where Powhatan’s older population can gather to learn about resources and socialize with others in the community.
Dopesick, presented her insights on overdoses in rural Virginia. Dopesick is the inspiration for the Hulu series of the same name, which was filmed in Goochland and Richmond and will be released on Oct. 13, 2021. Macy defines recovery as being any positive change. Examples include helping a homeless person find shelter, reducing the risk of harm, or providing support, community, and relationships. She also champions the idea of meeting people where they are instead of trying to force them to meet the mold of bureaucratic systems. “Our job,” Macy said, is to “change the narrative
and to end the stigma.” She further explained that in a large system, one person can make a huge change. Sometimes, it’s putting the right person at the front desk who knows how to talk to someone who finally mustered the courage to seek help. To end stigma and barriers, Macy said, communities, care providers, family members and friends must figure out what gets in the way and change it.

NORBERT HICKS Local resident Norbert Hicks, one of the speakers, said he meets with Community Matters every week and they are trying to build up a place for seniors to come. He talked about being a longtime resident of Powhatan and needing the board to step up for the county’s aging population. “I don’t expect to live forever, but I have been in an assisted living center for an injury I received and I couldn’t take care of myself. It was the worst experience I ever had in my whole life. So I would think the senior center service could help us stay out of those places – that we have a place to come to share what we’ve learned as people, as human beings, to support each other just like we always have,” Hicks said. Annette Stone talked about moving to the county and wanting to help give back. She did that in part by volunteering with local seniors. She talked about Powhatan not doing

enough to honor the “living history” represented by local seniors. She advocated for a senior center, saying the county’s local seniors are the “pillars of the community” who have made Powhatan the wonderful place it is to live today, so they need to be taken care of as well.” Dale Goodman, the 2021 Powhatan Christmas Mother, said she supported the seniors having a stationary place where they can gather on a regular basis.

They are willing to carry that burden to meet, but they would be better served by having a senior center, she said. Lloyd commended all of the seniors who spoke at the meeting in support of senior needs, observing that getting to the meeting was “no small effort for many of them. It is a hardship actually for quite a few.” “You can definitely understand that they believe very strongly that

Live Oak Bank (Lender) intends to seek financial assistance from RBS in the form of a Loan Note Guarantee under the Rural Energy for America Renewable Energy Systems & Energy Efficiency Improvements Loan and Grant Program on behalf of the Owner for construction of a new solar panel array development. The project area is located at 4412 Old Buckingham Road in Powhatan, Powhatan County, VA and will connect to the existing Southside Electric Cooperative (SEC) electrical distribution system that is adjacent to the project site. The project site will consist of approximately 55 acres. The Lender will be submitting an application to RBS for funding of the proposal. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurette Tucker, Rural Business Programs Specialist, RBS, 100 Dominion Drive, Farmville, VA 23901, (434)392-4906 X125, laurette.tucker@usda.gov.

The PV system and associated components will be situated on approximately 55.2 acres of a larger, 89.85-acre parent parcel. The Proposed Project’s infrastructure would include installing PV solar panels; inverters (to allow for the transmission to the utility grid); connections to the existing powerlines and necessary safety features including access roads, perimeter roads and fencing.

Timmons & Weimer take first at home By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN -- Powhatan’s cross country runners continued their strong fall 2021 season with the Sept. 28 home meet at Powhatan High School. Sophomore Ian Timmons won the boys race, freshman Ellen Weimer won the girls race and the boys team took second overall. “It’s a really great feeling,” Ian said of having a strong performance at home. “I love running with all the people on my team, and this race was a really good one. It surprised me, being the way it was with all the hills and all the tight turns.” Powhatan in its home meet hosted Manchester, Monacan and Thomas Dale. For Powhatan High School junior and team captain Raquel Iga, the home meet is her favorite meet of the year. see CROSS COUNTRY, pg. 2B

Powhatan overtakes Monacan By Billy Fellin
Special Correspondent POWHATAN -- Mitchell Johnson was not an easy assignment for the Monacan defense on Friday night at James Woodson Stadium. The Powhatan High School senior running back broke tack-
les, spun his way through holes and bowled over defenders for 202 rushing yards and four touchdowns as the Indians took down the Chiefs 39-28 in Dominion District action. “We all knew this was a big game,” Johnson said. “We expected them to play hard. The line and the receivers,
from the beginning of the game, were blocking really well and just playing their tails off. It’s all to them.” Following a fumble by Monacan (22) on the opening kickoff, Johnson put Powhatan in short-field range with three straight runs. see POWHATAN, pg. 2B

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot football improves to 5-0 By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor
NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY
Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Garrett Musselman (56) signals that the ball belongs to the Knights after Nathan Roberts (60) recovers a fumble on Friday.
POWHATAN – Going into Friday’s game, Garrett Musselman and his fellow Blessed Sacrament Huguenot teammates who had been there for four years had never been 5-0. But that all changed when the fourth-quarter clock hit zero and the Knights on the sideline burst into celebration as the team came away with a tremendous 20-12 victory over visiting Virginia Episcopal School. With the win, BSH not only remained undefeated more than halfway through the regular season, but it also handed the Bishops (3-
1) their first loss of the fall 2021 campaign. “I’m just really proud of them. They met adversity today,” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot head coach Gary Brock said of his players. “Tonight we had a huge test, and we passed.” On defense, Musselman, David Mann and Nathan Roberts led the Knights in penetrating the backfield and terrorizing the quarterback. Musselman dished out two early tackles for loss and combined with Roberts on a sack in the second half. On the very next play following Musselman and Roberts’ sack, Roberts recovered a Bishops’ fumble on the handoff. see BSH, pg. 2B
C&F Bank’s Bank’s Athlete C&F Athlete of of the the Week Week FOOTBALL ALL-STAR WHO: HUNTER CASE WHAT HE DID: The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot sophomore running back continued his tremendous season in the Knights’ 68-6 rout of The Covenant School on
Friday, Sept. 24 in Charlottesville. Case carried the ball 11 times for 120 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran in three two-point conversions. Case scored three of his four touchdowns in the first quarter on runs of 2, 18 and 9 yards. In the second quarter, Case scored his fourth touchdown from 1 yard out. In four games, Case has scored nine touchdowns. The BSH Knights in their first four games outscored their opponents 208-30. (Photo by Amanda Hatfield)

runs wind down for the year, the nonprofit is planning pop-up markets in the region, including a few on certain Sundays at Fine Creek Brewing in Powhatan. Those two pop-up markets will be held from noon to 4 p.m. on Oct. 17 and Nov. 14 at the brewery at 2425 Robert E. Lee Road. A full list of pop-up markets in the region can be found on the nonprofit’s website, rvagriculture.org. “I would say they are more leaning toward craft vendors, but we try to have some farm products also. People always want farm products, so we try to have a nice variety,” Dearden said. Alexa Boyt, founder of Batteaux Coffee Company, said the business officially launched in spring 2021 and began participating in the Powhatan Village Farmers Market in May. The farmers market allowed the fledgling business to make some great connections and start getting its name out, she said. “We don’t have a brick and mortar. We probably wouldn’t be selling coffee and flowers if we didn’t have an outlet like this. This is our style. We love to really be able to take
time interacting with our customers, and we love the barter and trade thing we can do with other vendors,” she said. Boyt added that as a mother, she appreciated that the market was familyfriendly so she could bring her four children and have them play safely nearby while their parents work. Greg Paul, owner of Chicory Hill Farm, said the farm was started in January 2020 in Goochland but relocated to Powhatan to be closer to its customer base. The farm started selling beef and pork at the farmers market in July. The farm also offers chicken, but because there are other vendors at the market selling chicken, they don’t bring that on Thursdays, Paul said. The majority of the farm’s business comes from a meat subscription program it offers, Paul said, but the last few months having a booth at the farmers market have been great to help the business establish new customers in Powhatan. “It’s great to meet folks face-to-face and establish those personal relationships. With a small business like ours, those personal relationships are what keeps you going. No matter what happens to the economy, as long as a
business has personal relationships with its customers, they will be OK,” he said. Audra Smith, owner of Stone Field Farms in Buckingham County, started selling goods at the Powhatan market in the middle of the 2021 season. The farm was already selling at a market in Farmville when they heard about RVAg and signed up to be a vendor at the Goochland and Powhatan markets. The farm sells fruit and artisan breads as well as pastureraised poultry with plans to expand their offerings in the future. “I think it has been a blessing. We have made a lot of connections here. It has been a lot of great friendships. We have done well as a farm here as well building our customer base and getting to know the communities at large around us – not just in Buckingham but Powhatan, Cumberland, and Goochland,” she said. RVAg will continue to offer products for sale on its website, rvagriculture. org, after the regular markets close for the 2021 season. The Powhatan Village Farmers Market will return for the 2022 season on the first Thursday in May 2022, Dearden said.

AARP Virginia offers advice on avoiding scams Contributed Report AARP Virginia regularly sends out scam alerts to notify residents of popular scams that are being run by criminals to take advantage of people. They advise people to be aware of the scenarios and make sure those who may be vulnerable know what signs to look for as well. Grandparent Scams: Criminals know that fear is the best motivator, and nothing drives fear more than a loved one in trouble. This is why scams targeting grandparents seem never to go away. If someone calls claiming to be your grandchild, or some authority calling about your grandchild who is in trouble or danger, it’s most likely a scam. It’s certainly a scam if the caller directs you to send
money fast to resolve the problem. Your best move is to hang up and call your grandchild or reach out to family who would know his or her whereabouts. AARP Imposter Scams: One of the most effective things that criminals can do to gain your confidence is impersonate an organization that you do business with and trust. Sadly, no one is immune from this. Not even AARP. Recently, the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline has been receiving calls about a scam involving phone calls from someone claiming to be with “AARP Security Systems” (or something similar sounding). We are told the first question they ask is whether you own your home and then they hang up.
ILLUSTRATION COURTESY OF AARP VIRGINIA
We haven’t yet heard from anyone who lost money or sensitive information to these scam calls, but that could always change. Don’t engage with anyone claiming to be from AARP Security Systems, and if you get a call like this, let us know by calling the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877908-3360, or reporting it on our scam map (www.
aarp.org/scammap). Scam Tracking Map: Did you know that if you are aware of a specific scam, you are 80% less likely to engage with it, and if you do engage, you’re 40% less likely to lose money or sensitive information? A great way to share what you know to protect others, and to learn more to better protect yourself, is to visit the AARP Scam-Tracking
Map (www.aarp.org/ scammap). You can explore scams being reported in your geography and submit scams you’ve heard about or encountered. Smishing: As more of us catch on to scam calls to our smartphones and block them or don’t answer them, scammers have taken to texting. “Smishing” is the term of art: SMS + phishing. Just as scammers phish by casting a wide net with email, so they do with smishing. The same things that we suggest in order to avoid phishing attacks apply to smishing. But texts live in this space of immediacy – scammers know we are likely to respond much faster to a text than an email. To thwart their ef-
forts, take a pause and consider the message. Is this really my bank, or Amazon, or PayPal, or the IRS texting me? Don’t click links – access the company or agency in a way you know to be safe and see if there’s an issue. Otherwise, don’t engage. We’re all in this together – let’s share what we know so the next target doesn’t become the next victim. Be a fraud fighter! If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. The AARP Fraud Watch Network is a free resource for all. Learn how to proactively spot scams or get guidance if you’ve been targeted. Visit www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call our dedicated helpline to speak to a fraud specialist at 1-877-908-3360.

ward counties, will be Clive C. Pettis Sr., an information systems analyst senior at Lockheed Martin, and a Nottoway County resident. Pettis received 70% of the vote to PETTIS 30% for opponent Greg Warner. Representing District III members in Amelia, Brunswick, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, Powhatan, Prince George and Sussex counties will be Kristie MartinWallace, a senior vice president: compliance & risk management at Citizens Bancorp of Virginia, and an Amelia County resident. Martin-Wallace received 77% of the vote to 23% for opponent Burl I. Newton. Each will serve a three-year term on the nine-member board of directors. Cooperative members voted for their board members using the proxy ballots included with the September Cooperative Living magazine. Balloting ended Tuesday, Sept. 21. “I appreciate all of the candidates running for a board seat,” President and CEO Jeff Edwards said. “Their interest in serving our members across the 18 counties is one of the things that makes SEC strong and successful.” Twenty-two members, all wearing masks and socially distanced, attended the meeting, which was held at the Hooper Park pavilion. They heard reports from Dr. Frank Bacon, chair of the Board of Directors, and Edwards. The meeting was limited to only business
matters due to continuing concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. Bacon said SEC hopes to return to the traditional annual meeting in 2022. He and Edwards MARTIN-WALLACE touched on the February ice storm that impacted 80% of SEC’s membership. Bacon said the Cooperative pre-staged materials and crews, called in additional workers and had adequate inventory levels. Bacon thanked employees and the mutual-aid crews for their efforts, and “I also want to thank our members for their patience and understanding during and after the ice storm. We know it was difficult during this time.” Bacon touted SEC’s safety culture and how the Cooperative supports the communities it serves, particularly citing support of the Power Line Worker Training School and the Southside Opportunity Fund scholarship program. Edwards mentioned the growth SEC is seeing. He said the Cooperative makes about 700 new connections every year, adding that Amelia, Powhatan and Bedford counties are the largest growth areas. “Despite the storm, SEC is in good financial shape,” Edwards said. He noted that the Board of Directors recently approved a $2.5 million capital credit retirement. SEC members will receive either bill credits or checks in December.
