Budget talks center on employee compensation By Laura McFarland Editor
POWHATAN – The issue of employee compensation dominated the Powhatan County School Board’s most recent discussion on the fiscal year 2022 budget. While Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, gave a presentation that covered different aspects of the budget at the board’s meeting on Tuesday, March 9, the discussion that followed focused primarily on employee raises. This included both the discussion had by the board and the comments heard from the public. As board members weighed their options, the discussion touched on not only how much of a raise division employees should get – 3% vs. 5% were the most popular figures used – but who
should get them. Although still not balanced, the budget Jones presented had some key information it was missing the last time the board discussed it in February. On the revenue side, county staff has given the school division the projected local county transfer, which at $24.1 million is an increase over the current fiscal year of $979,963. This number is not final as the board of supervisors has been discussing school funding at its own budget workshops. Jones’ budget also had a new figure for the state contribution to the budget, $24.3 million, which is an increase of $686,584. This figure was an estimate between the House and Senate versions of the approved budget as PCPS was still waiting on final calculations from the Virginia Department of Education. Just as there were some significant
changes on the revenue side, there was also a noticeable change on the expenditure side. When Jones presented the budget on Feb. 9, he recommended spending $869,900 for a 3% salary increase for all employees, which corresponded with a 3% raise county administrator Ned Smither was recommending to the supervisors for county employees. But when Jones brought an updated presentation back before the public hearing, he was recommending a 5% salary increase for all employees with a price tag of $1,499,833. The new recommendation was highly influenced by the recommended state budget, which gives 5% raises to teachers, state employees and state-supported local employees. However, the state would only pay its portion of the Standards of Quality (SOQ) funded positions, leaving the locality to make up the
difference. Jones said 62% of PCPS employees are SOQ positions. Powhatan would be eligible for the state funding if it gives the 5% raise during the current biennium, which is in its second year. Since Powhatan didn’t give its employees any raises in the current fiscal year, to draw down the money from the state, the locality would have to give the entire 5% this year. Jones explained that the language the state is using means a division can either give a straight 5% raise to all employees or give targeted raises to employees that add up to the total amount of the 5% raise for all employees. That distinction is what created greater layers in the budget conversation as board members weighed in on where they feel the most need is with employee compensation. see BUDGET pg. 4

POWHATAN – Almost a year to the date it first closed because of COVID-19 safety measures, Powhatan County Public Library reopened this week for in-person services. The library resumed inperson services on Monday, March 15 and will continue its limited operation hours moving forward. The library is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Saturday.

FIREFIGHTERS DE-STRESS WITH COFFEE VENTURE By Laura McFarland

POWHATAN – The three Powhatan firefighters behind the newly formed Triple Tap Coffee plan to live up to their company’s name. When a firefighter hooks three hoses up to a fire hydrant, the goal is to maximize water flow to create high performance hydrant operation, said Jeffrey Wallace, a career lieutenant paramedic with Powhatan County Fire and Rescue. In the same way, when Wallace and his co-workers, Art Tate, career firefighter EMT, and John Menc, career firefighter medic, decided several months ago to start Triple Tap Coffee, they wanted to have the same approach. “That is the best we can do. It is going all the way for us,” Wallace said. “If someone triple taps a hydrant, that is the most effort involved. It is not the easy way; it is the complex, hard way.” It helps out that there are three of them, too, agreed Menc with a smile. “The double meaning is a constant reminder of the product we want to create,” he said. The three men launched their new business on March 5 as a part-time job separate from their full-time work with Powhatan County. Since all of them at one time in their careers have simultaneously worked full-time and part-time jobs in different localities’s fire services to make ends meet, they are loving the idea of having a new endeavor that is something completely different but still a shared passion. “One thing that we all agreed on was that the fire service puts a lot of mental stressors on us. It is important to have an

outlet that is not the fire service,” Wallace said. “I think this was something the three of us could do. We all thought this was a great way for us as individuals to get out of the fire service, gives us something to do on our days off, and gives us joy.” Coffee is generally an important part of the fire station tradition, Tate said. Often the morning transfer from one shift to the next starts with the firefighters sitting around a table together discussing what was done the day before and what needs to happen in the day ahead, he said. “One of my biggest things about this is to instill conversation because I think it is really missing in our society today where we actually sit down and have a
conversation,” he said. Coffee can also be a decompressor for the men and women who sometimes deal with intense and distressing situations, Wallace agreed. “After a bad call it is has been common for decades that we sit down at the table, brew a pot of coffee, and just talk. Coffee has always been that thing that brings guys in the fire service together to talk. We all think that conversation is super important,” he said. Tate said the idea to do something like this had been bouncing around in his head for a while, but the timeline for the creation of Triple Tap Coffee is surprissee COFFEE, pg. 6

Competitive wages During his presentation, Jones once again highlighted how Powhatan County could be falling behind in being competitive about attracting and retaining employees. In a comparison of certain positions with 12 other school divisions Powhatan tends to use for comparison, it fell in rank in all categories except one from 2018-2019 to 2020-2021. The positions he highlighted were teachers (dropped from ranking seven in 2018-2019 to ninth in 2020-2021); instructional assistants (dropped from eight to 10); secondary principal (dropped from nine to 10); elementary principal (dropped from eight to 10); secondary assistant principal (dropped from nine to 12), and elemen-
tary assistant principal (dropped from seven to 12). The only position he mentioned that improved in the division rankings was bus drivers, who increased from seven to six in the comparison. In the discussion about how to improve Powhatan’s ranking, Jones pointed out how Powhatan is already behind the curve. When looking at what those 12 other jurisdictions did for their employees this year, all but one either gave a raise or a bonus where Powhatan has given neither. In a look at the upcoming fiscal year, nine divisions plan to give some kind of raise, ranging from 2% to 6%, Jones said. When Jones had talked about losing employees who realize they could be paid better elsewhere, the board asked him to be more specific about how that was happening. In the last three
Hey y’all, it’s me, Dudley again. I was featured last week and not a single person called to see me. This made me very sad and upset. This week I went to the vet and got neutered and brought up to date on shots. I’m around 3 years old and weigh approx. 63 lbs. I’m friendly, and looking for my forever home. I came into the shelter Dudley in early Feb., I was very nervous and scared. Over the past month I’ve come out of my shell and starting to trust the staff here. I’m still nervous but, with your love and patience I’ll be able to continue to come out of my shell. I’d really like a fur brother or sister to live with so, I can learn from them. Please come see me and give me a chance at a normal life, it’s no fun being sad and lonely. If you have any questions or want to come by and check me out please call 804-598-5672, the staff would be happy to help!

school years, PCPS lost 13 employees who went to a different public or private school; nine employees who went into the private sector, and 47 employees to retirement or leaving for personal reasons. Jones also presented information about 10 job candidates that were offered a position with PCPS and declined. Of the reasons they cited for declining the job, eight said it was either because of salary or insurance costs, one was a relocation issue, and one had an issue with the COVID return plan.
Who gets a raise? In the discussion that followed Jones’ presentation, all of the board members seemed open to higher raises, but the issue then became, who gets the money? During the public hearing, Powhatan High School math teacher Nancy Taylor brought up the issue of salary compression and how teachers with more than 23

years of service were making less than a teacher in that position would have made in 2008. The salaries ranged from $400 to $3,500 less than the same position made in 2008, depending on the years of experience.
She compared this to administrative positions and new teachers, which all increased more than 15% and some as much as 70%, she said. “I know that the cost of living has gone up in these past 12 years, and if you look that up, it is about a 19% cost of living increase. Plus if you look at it, health care costs have also risen,” she said. “I think it is about time to look at the salaries of those teachers that have experience and value that experience here in the county.” If she is making less now than she would have in 2008 and her retirement is based on her salary in her last three years of working “it is in my best interest to start looking to see where somebody might value my experience a little bit more,” said a visibly emotional Taylor. While compression wasn’t a part of Jones’ presentation, it did become a topic among board members when they started their discussion after the public hearing. Jones wasn’t with the county in 2008 but explained that kind of compression happened because the recession came with salary cuts and frozen salaries. Teachers were moving up in their job classifications without a corresponding pay raise. After Jones clarified the difference in scenarios the county could use with raises and still draw down state funds, the discussion expanded to look at more targeted raises, with the suggestion that some positions, such as administrators, receive less of a raise so the compression issue could be addressed in positions where it is a significant problem. Chairwoman Kim Hymel, who represents District 5, has been clear this budget season that
she thinks teachers should be the priority when it comes to raises and other positions could see raises if the additional funds were available. She said all school division positions are important, but the school board may need to approach the budget in a different way to address concerns. Susan Smith, District 2, advocated taking a hard look at salaries for teachers with more years of experience. Joe Walters, District 4, asked Jones to provide the board with more information about positions where compression is an issue. Powhatan wants to be able recruit new teachers, he said, but it also needs to acknowledge those with years of dedicated service to the county. Both Rick Cole, District 1, and Valarie Ayers, District 3, stressed the importance of the school board and the public making the board of supervisors aware of the need to address compensation issues if Powhatan wants to continue being an attractive, competitive employer. A few of the board members brought up the more than $1 million in unused funds the school division returned to the county at the end of the last fiscal year to use for a revenue stabilization fund. They advocated talking to the board about using some of that money to address salary issues. Since they would be one-time funds, Jones advised looking at that money as a potential for bonuses rather than salary increases that would have to be sustained moving forward.

Blythe Samuels talks to the school board about the difficulties teachers faced this year.
Robin Mead didn’t advocate for or against raises but instead asked the school board to make its decisions based on all of the information available. She especially stressed the need to be careful about the localities that Powhatan is comparing itself to in its analysis because they can be very different in student demographic, facilities, and many other factors. Nicholas Snead talked about the dedication of PCPS teachers and pointed out how they are not taking personal days because they are “afraid of what the students are going to miss.” He advocated for the 5% increase and asked the board to help the teachers dealing with compression. The supervisors and school board were set to discuss the budget at their joint meeting, which was held on Tuesday, March 16, after press time.

Throughout the initial pandemic time period, the library pivoted its service model to online without really missing a beat, she said. “I was impressed with our team’s willingness to try new ideas, such as Caroline (Shoenthal’s) revamp of our storytime sessions into virtual via Facebook Live. We were also able to secure additional mobile hotspots to meet the increased demand. We partnered with PCPS to loan the hotspots to patrons of all ages,” Berriman said. On June 29, 2020, the library reopened to the public while still adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines, Berriman said. The building remained open to the public over the summer and into the fall. On Dec. 7, 2020, the Library Board opted again to temporarily pause public access to the building in consultation with Powhatan Emergency Management based on the uptick in positive COVID-19 cases in the county. “Despite the closure of the building, library staff maintained uninterrupted service. We continued to provide patrons with Books to Go, Curbside Print, tax forms, mobile hotspots, reference, Readers’ Advisory, and virtual programs for all ages. Throughout the pandemic, the library team has provided continuous support to the Powhatan community,” Berriman said. With the reopening, face coverings continue to be required inside the library by staff and patrons. While Powhatan County remains under a local state of emergency, library public restrooms will remain closed. Library meeting rooms are also unavailable until further notice.

ingly condensed. In December 2020, Tate reached out to Wallace by text one night with a simple idea – “How about we make coffee?” While both men liked to drink it, they agreed that neither knew much about making it. But that didn’t stop Tate. He began mentoring with a friend who does coffee roasting in Richmond, and reading and watching everything he could on the subject. “It was exciting to see him roll. I was trying to find my place in it because he was on a roll,” Wallace said. When Tate did his first solo roast, he called Wallace and asked him to sample it. Wallace agreed and they asked Menc, who they call their “resident coffee connoisseur,” to try it as well. “We had low expectations for the first roast but it was actually really good,” Wallace admitted. “After that it was a natural fit to have John help us out with this. John knew coffee better than Art and I do. So the two of us decided right then that it was a natural fit to add John in on this with us.” Menc said he had briefly heard about what his two friends were thinking about doing right before he took his first sip of Tate’s first attempt so he didn’t have much time to process it. “I was enthusiastic about it. I love supporting local business especially in the time of the pandemic. I was really enthusiastic about their

vision and mission to create coffee for consumption in the firehouse,” he said. The short months that followed have been filled with Tate perfecting the coffee he wants to create while Wallace focuses on labeling and sales and Menc does design work and marketing. The fledgling coffee company currently has two Brazilian bean products, the Command Roast, which is a medium roast, and Smoke Showing, a dark roast, Tate said. The last several months have had their share of trial and error as they figured out the roast
they wanted to share with customers. He would create small batches and often bring them to be taste tested by their fellow firefighters and EMTs. “If you want feedback go to a fire station because they will be glad to tell you anything that is wrong that,” he said with a laugh. The trio agree that the process, while involved, is also something they see as being a healthy move for themselves and their families in the long run. They each run their parts of the business from their own homes on their days off. They are hoping to eventually stop their
other part-time jobs and have more time at home with family, Menc said. “The fire service takes up about one third of your life away from families. It is very rough on families,” he said. “Anything we can do to keep us home with our families longer is something we are looking to do.” The mental health of public safety employees is important to the three men, which is why they also committed to donating 10 percent of their annual profits to Checkpointe One, a nonprofit based in Doswell that provides equine therapy to firefighters, EMTs, law enforcement, and 911 dispatchers, Tate said. The nonprofit closed in 2020 because of lack of funding but managed to come back with reduced hours to provide its free services for those who need it. “I know people who have been in the program and it is has changed them from being depressed. Suicide in public service is huge. If we can get these folks help so they are able to be a functioning part of society, that is huge for us,” Tate said. “It may happen to one of us where a call goes bad and we are not able to handle it. At least we know there would be a place to go if we needed help.” For now, the trio is mostly selling their coffee beans online, but they are also reaching out to stores and restaurants about creating partnerships.

Local schools celebrate joy of music education By Laura McFarland
ence of being moved, of having one’s life enriched, of discovering our capacity to feel. If that was all they did, they would earn a generous place at our table in the midst of the most dire circumstances of the 21st Century,” he said, referring to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Certainly we are all thankful right now that science is going to help us get out of this, but I remind you that it’s the arts that are getting us through this. “It is every moment that we watch TV. It is every moment that we watch the same episode of ‘The Office’ for the 40th time. It is in the moments that we listen to music when we are working out with music. It is when we are doing all of those things that we curl up in the blanket of human creativity of the best of humanity,” Andrew Snead said. I know Powhatan has a great music program, and I have been fortunate to hear many of the groups perform at various events I have attended in the county in the last few years. But I didn’t realize just how extensive the program was until I reached out to Nicholas Snead, director of bands. Powhatan High School has a marching band, two indoor drum lines, two color guards, wind symphony, concert band, jazz band, two show choirs, two concert choirs, brass ensemble, woodwind choir, and orchestra. Those programs are run by Terrell Dean, Linda Smith Utt, Nicholas Snead, Neil Landini, and Andrew Snead. Powhatan Middle School has sixth, seventh and eighth grade bands; sixth, seventh and eighth grade choirs, jazz ensemble, two orchestras, and a music technology keyboarding class. Those programs are

O
ne of my absolute favorite things about the arrival of spring weather is driving somewhere with my windows down and the music turned up loud. I don’t know if it would make sense to anyone else, but, with the right song and the right conditions, the wind on my skin almost feels like the physical caress of the music coming out of the speakers. It can bring with it a beautiful rush of emotions. As a side note, I also have come to recognize that I need to be careful what I listen to, because I have noticed a correlation between some types of music and my tendency to speed. I wonder if our wonderful Powhatan deputies would accept “there was this song …” as an excuse if they pulled me over. I was thinking about this for two reasons today. The first reason was that I spent the morning between interviews driving with my windows down and the music up loud, just as I described. And, yes, it was wonderful. But I also was reminded of the power of music by the words of one of our great local teachers, Andrew Snead, lead teacher for performing arts. He spoke at the March 9 Powhatan County School Board meeting during the public comment period in honor of March being Music in Our Schools Month. He very eloquently talked about the importance of the arts in improving our quality of life and I fully agree with him. “The arts are about joy. They are about the experirunoff to improve water quality. This funding will implement approximately 144 separate conservation practices in Goochland and Powhatan counties. These practices included converting erosive cropland to permanent grassland, installing fencing and excluding livestock access and waste from streams, continuous no-till cultivation of crops, and several new practices to more efficiently use and prevent runoff in the application of nitrogen and phosphorous from cropland. The grant of funds from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for this program is the largest amount of funding the Monacan District has received in the last ten years. There are still funds available to assist other farmers and landowners with installing additional practices. Contact the Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District at 804556-4936.

The various videos may be found at www.powhatanbands.com and the school division’s website, http://www.powhatan.k12.va.us. We also hope to share some of them on the Powhatan Today’s Facebook page. When they post, I hope our readers will check them out and leave encouraging comments. Performing takes courage and that in itself is deserving of recognition. I love music, but I know people like Nicholas Snead that live music in every aspect of their lives. So I will end here by simply sharing his take on why Music in Our Schools Month is so important not only for our students but for our community as a whole. “Music is in every aspect of our life from the time we are awaking up to the time we are going to bed. It is in church. It is in the car. It is in a video game. It is at a sporting game. To celebrate that is particularly special. It is our driving force. It keeps us calm. It gets us excited. It is our hope and inspiration,” he said. “To be able to spread that to people is a complete joy and we look forward to the opportunity to spread that to people every day.”
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Landfill project lacks the same diversity found in Cumberland Dear Editor, Recent mailers sent out to Cumberland County residents depict a diversified group of future "resident employees" who will benefit from upcoming solid waste enterprises to be built in the county. Buttt... research indicates that there may be disconnects with the above described images. 1) There appears to be no African Americans on either GFL Environmental's Board of Directors or on their Executive Management Team. 2) There appears to be no African Americans on the Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal LLC Executive Management Team. 3) The Host Agree-
ment between Green Ridge and Cumberland County contains no mandatory Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Clause regarding the employment of Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal LLC employees. 4) The Host Agreement makes no provision for a Cumberland County Landfill Citizens Advisory Committee to address operational issues with the landfill. 5) The Host Agreement has no provision to remediate landfill caused contamination of local residential wells at no cost to the homeowner. What do I know? Perhaps, someone can explain these disconnects. Keith Buch Powhatan County
Kudos to Nellis, volunteers for efficiency of vaccine clinic Dear Editor, I cannot say enough good things about our experience receiving the first COVID vaccine at the Landmark Center on Saturday, March 6. From the minute we entered the building, the entire process was carried out with precision and efficiency. Kudos to ALL of the
volunteers who made this happen smoothly. Curt Nellis is to be congratulated for his efforts in putting together his team to provide Powhatan citizens with these vaccines. I only wish the entire Commonwealth of Virginia could be managed in a similar way. Wendy S. McSweeney Powhatan Coutny

Health Department, where it belongs. For Nellis, who has spearheaded the local effort since early January, it means a huge weight off his shoulders. He has been working almost nonstop on planning and executing vaccine clinics, first for county employees and partner agencies and then some regular citizens in the high priority categories. He estimates the county will have put more than 6,000 first and second COVID-19 vaccine shots in people’s arms in a threemonth period. “We feel like we have done the community a service by providing shots to the critical employees, and now the state has indicated that they are ready to continue with that process and using their registration system. They said, ‘we appreciate what you have done for the Commonwealth and we are ready to move on,’ ” Nellis said. That doesn’t mean Nellis isn’t willing to step back in to help under the right conditions. When Nellis shared on Wednesday, March 10 that Powhatan was getting out of the vaccination business, he seemed pretty firm. Then at 3 a.m. on Thursday, March 11, a few hours before the start of yet another clinic, Nellis said he had an epiphany. The clinics – the actual physical events where they put shots in arms – are now well-oiled machines with few issues. The greatest stress in the entire process – and there has been a great deal of it – has usually been directly tied to registration issues, he said. So with the health department wanting all citizens to go through the same registration process, Nellis pro-
posed to continue hosting Saturday clinics for roughly 1,000 people every Saturday through the end of May at the Pocahontas Landmark Center if the state would handle all registration issues. The health department didn’t take him up on the offer right away but also didn’t close the door to the possibility either, acknowledging the county could be a future resource, he said. But either way, Nellis is proud of what the county and the many volunteers who helped with the clinics accomplished in the first quarter of 2020. “I feel good, especially when I look into the eyes of some of the people who came through that were so anxious and so appreciative because they thought they never were going to get a shot,” Nellis said.
A learning process When Nellis started organizing the vaccine clinics in January, it was all a huge learning process, he said. The goal was to take some of the pressure off of the Virginia Department of Health while it worked out the issues in its infrastructure and to start getting critical Powhatan employees vaccinated. Initially, Nellis said there were issues trying to get lists from the health department of people who needed to be vaccinated. Rather than let the doses the county was allocated go to waste, he created his own registration process. But that led to its own complications and headaches for the county, which was inundated by people seeking information, he said. While the majority of responses from the public regarding the clinics were positive, Nellis said he unfortunately saw a darker side

to some people that he wishes he hadn’t witnessed. “I don’t think the public realized there was a dark side. There were people who abused the system, abused the volunteers and the clinic. It was not nice,” Nellis said. When Nellis did his first clinic with more than 1,000 people, the information spread quickly and widely and a good portion of those who attended weren’t from Powhatan. He got plenty of negative feedback about that, so Nellis tried to make the next registration form for Powhatan residents only. The form clearly stated that those who weren’t from the county would have their appointments deleted. Many still tried, and even though Nellis checked the list against the county’s GIS system, he knows some still probably got through. Some people lied about their age and others claimed they were getting a first shot when the state system showed it was actually their second dose. Then there were people who came to the clinic saying they had made an appointment that didn’t show up in the system. Some got so angry and verbally abusive to volunteers that the sheriff’s office had to be called, Nellis said. Now, he
automatically requests a deputy’s presence at the larger clinics. “There was a small fraction of people who did that. There were more people who appreciated it and thanked us, but that small fraction of people who did it put a bad taste in our mouths,” he said. While it was the health department that reached out initially to say it could handle the vaccine process moving forward, the stress associated with the registration process made it an easier decision to take that step back, Nellis said on March 10. But slightly more optimistic the next day, he said if the county was asked to get involved again and was only responsible for the clinics and not the registration, he hopes it would be a much easier process to deal with moving forward. Virginia has a COVID-19 Vaccine Pre-Registration System. You can go to https://vaccinate.virginia. gov/ or call 877-VAX-INVA to pre-register for the vaccine and get clear, updated information.

Greenhow becomes a national champion By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor Earlier this year, Anthony Greenhow had competed in the 200-meter dash in Virginia Beach, and the race was close, but he narrowly missed out on winning first place. Another competitor passed him in the curve, relegating Greenhow to a runner-up finish. “I submitted to him basically – and same thing as last year at states in the 300: I submitted to whoever passed me,” said Greenhow, a senior at Powhatan High School. “But this year, I was like: you know what? It’s my senior year. I need to grow up and dig down deep and just find something out of me.”
He found what he needed on March 1 to win his first two state championships in both the 55-meter and 300-meter dash events in Lynchburg. Twelve days later, he found it again to become a national champion. Competing in the AAU National Indoor Championships and taking on some of the best runners from across the country at the Virginia Beach Sports Center on Saturday, Greenhow passed the leader coming off of the second curve in the men’s 17-18 year old 200-meter dash and crossed the finish line a narrow .11 of a second ahead of Texas standout Nazzio John to secure the prestigious title. “It feels 10 times better than the state (championships) because this is
nationals,” said Greenhow, who became an All-American and also set the new meet record with his winning time of 21.52. “It feels great to be a national champion.” This is not only the University of South Carolina signee’s first national title, but the triumph marked a major leap for the senior, who before Saturday’s race had gone to nationals each year, but had yet to qualify for the finals. Greenhow also improved upon his run of 21.76 in Friday’s preliminaries, which was .01 of a second behind the event’s top qualifier, Washington state standout Anthony Smith (21.75), who went on to place third in CONTRIBUTED PHOTO the finals in 21.66. 200-meter dash national champion and see GREENHOW, pg. 5B

Sweeping the week Powhatan field hockey routs Bird, Clover Hill
Staff Reports
By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor MIDLOTHIAN – To Powhatan field hockey coach Caryn Rehme, Monday’s 8-0 win over L.C. Bird came at the right time for the Indians. “We needed it,” Rehme said. “We’re still figuring out a few other positions, but I feel like we’re...fine-tuning the positions still a little bit…but hopefully we’ll get to a spot we’re comfortable with…I saw some (things) clicking with the midfielders as far as where their positioning should be. We’re coming together.” Several young players not only got to contribute to the Powhatan varsity unit’s win, but they also etched their numbers into the goals’ column last Monday. Junior Hope Burton and sophomore Kate Adams led the Indians with two goals apiece, and junior see FH, pg. 2B

He edged out Manchester’s low scorer Ivan Chan, who shot a 40. Washburn’s highlights included a birdie on the seventh hole. For Powhatan, senior Connor Voorhees and freshman Noah Lane each shot a 41, and junior Adam Camp rounded out the team’s top four with a score of 42.

MIDLOTHIAN -- When you create a classic, it’s a tall task to deliver a sequel that outclasses it. Powhatan found a way. Nearly 18 months after they had made a movielike 14-point rally in the last 5 minutes of regulation to overtake Clover Hill 21-20, the Indians found themselves trailing the Cavaliers 42-41 after having just scored a touchdown in a rare triple-overtime situation. From there, the Indians could go for the PAT kick, which would have tied the game and kept it going. After all, Micah Holt had made all five of his previous PAT kicks in the game. Head coach Mike Henderson chose to go for it. “It was a gut decision,” he said. Junior running back Mitchell Johnson, who had scored the most recent touchdown, lined up in the backfield. “When they called the play, I knew

Powhatan volleyball splits week’s matches By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor Powhatan volleyball split the twogame week, bouncing back from a fourset loss to Cosby (25-17, 21-25, 25-11, 25-18) to rout Manchester in straight sets (25-11, 25-11, 25-9). After Tuesday’s setback to the Titans, Powhatan head coach Cindy Bryant said: “We knew it was going to be tough...We changed our lineup yesterday trying to get some more offensive strength in the right places. We didn’t find the court enough. Twenty-some hitting errors, not going to work for us.” But she praised Powhatan’s defense in Tuesday’s match, pointing to the “great defensive play” from junior defensive specialists Allie Dulio and Kendal McMullin, who each had 15 digs, and from junior middle hitter Faith Henderson, who, in addition to delivering four kills, two aces, one block and onpoint serving, added five digs. Bryant pointed out that Henderson doesn’t get many defensive reps in practice. Bryant also noted that they did something they had not yet done before: they switched Liberos after the first set, and she felt that it ended up paying off for them. McMullin was defensive specialist for three sets and Libero for the first, and Dulio started off at defensive specialist before switching to Libero for the remaining three sets. While Powhatan had its struggles on the offensive side, 5-foot-11 junior Nina Marsho was 10-for-10 in her attacks, mixing in power with dinks to lead the team with 10 kills on Tuesday. She also had five blocks. With Henderson serving, Powhatan tightened Cosby’s first-set lead from 1911 to 19-16, but after the two teams trad-
ed one point each (with Cosby going up 20-17), the Titans secured the set on a 5-0 run. In the second set, Powhatan rallied from going down 7-1 and 9-3 to tying it at 10-10 with senior Natalie Mueller serving for the Indians. The Indians went ahead for good when Marsho’s dink, brushing past the Cosby defenders’ fingertips and falling onto the shallow middle floor of the Titans’ half-court, put Powhatan in a 17-16 lead and sparked a 6-1 run of points for the Indians. Powhatan weathered Cosby’s comeback bid to win the set 25-21. “Our determination was on,” Bryant said of the team’s play in the second set. “We’ve got big swings all around the court, but those big swings have to find the court.” In the third set, which Cosby dominated, and also in the fourth, in which the two teams tied up to 6-6 before the Titans pulled away, Bryant noted that “what we started trying to do is play safe, and playing safe does not win at this level.” “If it’s a good set, you have to trust your swing and swing hard,” Bryant said. “If it’s a not-so-good set, then you have to swing a little safer, but still smart and still aggressive in some way. We’re young and we’re learning that.” For Thursday’s match against Manchester, Powhatan made a few lineup changes, pulling Henderson out of the NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY middle and moving her to the pin. Powhatan junior Faith Henderson delivers a kill to the corner in last “It was very effective!” Bryant said.

Carsen Hogston, sophomore Lexie Campbell and freshmen Emily Reimondo and Casey Grell each had one. Powhatan led Bird 6-0 at the half. Before the game, Rehme named Grell an honorary captain for the week in addition to captains Kaitlin Thompson, a senior, and Jordan Krauss, a junior. The role of honorary captain, which is bestowed upon a player by a vote at the beginning of each week, highlights that player’s hard work in practice, as well as her gametime performance. The week before, junior goalie Peyton Tuttle was named the honorary captain. “It’s just a full week of hard practice and what you want to bring to practice,” Rehme said. “It’s not so much how much playing time that you
got or anything like that; you work hard at practice, and good things may happen.” Powhatan swept the week as it routed Clover Hill 7-1 on Wednesday. Lexie Campbell led Powhatan with 3 goals, Joy Johnson scored 2 and Emily Reimondo and Jordan Krauss had 1 each. “We played very well and dominated the game,” Rehme said Thursday. “We had speed and the girls worked on the things we worked on in practice over the past week. We are starting to get confident and the new line-up is really working. “We are hoping to take the momentum into next week.” Powhatan was slated to play Manchester on Monday and will play Cosby on Wednesday at 3 p.m. and Midlothian next Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. Both games will be at River City Sportsplex in Midlothian.
“It felt amazing, knowing...that we had so many people that could run the ball well, and we came through,” Johnson said. “We came through, just having those threats that could run the ball, and just the fact that we were playing together the entire game.” Rehme also threw five completions for 70 yards and a 33-yard touchdown strike to Jason Worthington. It was a big bounce-back night for Powhatan’s junior quarterback, who overcame the previous Friday’s late-game pick that allowed Manchester to fend off Powhatan 28-23 in the closing moments. “We tried to put him in some better spots. We know he’s an excellent runner,” Henderson said of Rehme. “After last week, he could’ve hung his head, but he got right back to work, and...I’m real proud of him, because it would’ve been real easy to feel sorry for yourself last week, and he just said, ‘I’ve got to get better,’ and that’s what he did.” Powhatan’s defense terrorized Clover Hill’s passing game, racking up eight pass deflections. Ethan Dowdy and Fisher Hamersley each caught one interception. “They throw the ball really well, we knew that they were going to do that, and we were able to make enough stops defensively,” Henderson said, “We gave up 14 points against this team until the last 20 (regulation) seconds of the game...we played some really good defense and we did a lot of good things.” The Indians also had two late-game fumble recoveries: one by Dowdy and another by Mitch Bolt. Hamersley had 11 solo tackles and was in on 12 total. Powhatan juniors Wyatt Lowe and Chase Gayness were in on 13 and 12 tackles, respectively. The special teams unit was crucial in helping Powhatan keep the game tied
going into the second half. Charlie Ver Beek’s goal-line rush was followed up by Powhatan senior Aaron Nash turning on the jets and unleashing a 66-yard sprint to return the kick to Clover Hill’s 33-yard line. On the very next play, Rehme zipped the pass to Worthington, who caught it in transition and ran it the rest of the way for the touchdown. With the secondary locking down the Cavaliers’ deep passing shots, Powhatan forced Clover Hill to punt, and the Indians’ offense pushed the ball up to the Cavaliers’ 4-yard line. But Powhatan’s pass deflected off of one Clover Hill defender and into the hands of another, with Breyon Green catching the interception in the end zone, putting Clover Hill on its own 20 with the touchback. One 7-yard play later, Cross tore through a gap and set sail on a 73-yard touchdown tear. But Division I recruit and senior JaySun Carroll had a reply in the form of another fiery return for Powhatan, as he fielded the kick and sprinted down to Clover Hill’s 42. After he had hit Nash on a 9-yard pass, Rehme ran 32 yards to the house to help the tie the game at 14-14 with a little over a minute left in the first half. With Friday’s wild triumph, Powhatan rebounded from a heartbreaker of a setback to Manchester. “I can’t say enough about any of these guys,” Henderson said. “After last week when we had some chances at the end and we didn’t finish, it would’ve been easy to say, ‘It’s not our night,’ and we just didn’t. We just battled. We tell our guys all the time: ‘Just play every play as hard as you can, and good things are going to happen.’ “Tonight, it did.” Powhatan (2-1) will next host Cosby on Friday, March 19 at 7 p.m.

the middle, and he saw that “everything collapsed.” He bounced outside. “The wide receivers were doing their jobs,” Johnson said. “They were blocking, and opening up a giant hole.” Johnson ran through it... ...and he crossed the goal line on the two-point rush. Powhatan erupted in celebration. The team had just overtaken the Cavaliers 43-42 in a triple-overtime thriller. “It felt so good to be able to come through and get this win for our team; it’s much-needed,” said Johnson, who had 30 carries for 177 yards and two touchdowns in addition to scoring the game-winning two-point conversion. “We needed this to get us back up on our feet after last week, and we’re just ready to go on and go to the next.” Powhatan had grabbed a 21-14 lead with 29 seconds to play in the third quarter when Johnson punched into the end zone on a goal-line rush to cap a drive that was kicked off by Ethan Dowdy hauling in an interception and returning it 27 yards to Powhatan’s 45-yard line. In the fourth quarter, the two teams traded the ball on turnovers, with Powhatan fumbling once and Clover Hill doing so twice, but a turnover on downs by Powhatan presented the Cavaliers with a chance to drive from midfield in the closing minutes of regulation. The Cavaliers chipped away at the distance to the goal line through the air and through a defensive holding penalty assessed to Powhatan. With 36 seconds to play on fourth and long, Corie Addo reeled in a 16-yard touchdown pass from Reece Hamilton, and the following PAT
kick tied the game at 21-21. The final 18 seconds of regulation ran scoreless, and the memorable overtime period began. Addo caught another touchdown, this one from 13 yards out, and the Cavaliers continued to strike gold, landing their fourth of six PAT kicks in the game to help put the Cavaliers ahead by 7. But for Powhatan, junior quarterback Hans Rehme was clutch. Not only did he slice up the middle on the run play to score in Powhatan’s first OT chance from 10 yards out, but he did it again in the second OT period when Powhatan switched to the first possession, putting the Indians ahead 35-28. But Kendall Cross, who earlier in the game delivered a 73-yard romp of a rushing touchdown, ran in two more scores on back-to-back overtime drives to help swing Clover Hill back into a 4235 advantage. But Rehme stayed dialed in, pushing the ball six yards forward on back-toback rushes before an offsides call against Clover Hill halved the Indians’ distance to the goal line by 2 yards. Although Johnson was closing in on 30 carries in the game, he was relatively fresh at this point, having not touched the ball for the last 20 minutes, and with his offensive line giving the Indians the push up front that they needed, Johnson was able to carry the ball the final 2 yards to secure the touchdown. The very next play, Powhatan turned to Johnson again. His two-point conversion put the exclamation mark on a wild, back-and-forth thriller. Powhatan’s offensive linemen paved the way for their backs to rush for 290 yards. Johnson’s teammate Rehme carried the ball 13 times for 107 yards and three touchdowns, including two in overtime.

Timmons leads XC runners with 3rd place Staff Reports CHESTERFIELD -- Powhatan High School senior Gavin Timmons ran a 17:22.8 to lead his team with a thirdplace finish in Wednesday’s cross country meet at Pocahontas State Park. He was the first of the boys to cross the line as he ran in the first of three waves of competitors. The top two finishers began their races after the first wave had taken off; Clover Hill’s Andrew Bennett was first in 17:09.2, and Midlothian’s Brian Tavenner narrowly edged out Timmons for second in 17:22.7. On the girls side, Powhatan freshman Olivia Goodrich was the top finisher from the first wave and placed seventh in the girls race overall in 22:41.7. Sophomore Rebecca Ray
joined Goodrich in the girls top 10 by placing eighth in 23:15.4. Joining Timmons in the boys top 10 were Cole Whiting (18:37.0) in ninth and Ian Timmons (18:46.2) in 10th. Additional boys finishers for Powhatan were River Leynes (19:18.6), Davis Tester (19:36.7), Eli Timmons (19:53.2), and Carter Nuckols (20:31.0). Additional girls finishers for Powhatan were Raquel Iga (23:45.9), Kaitlyn Rissmeyer (24:02.7), Alyssa Gorman (24:35.1), and seniors Alexis Elzey (24:56.1) and Marissa Lampkin (24:56.6), who once again sprinted to the finish side-by-side. Midlothian’s Gabriella Garcia won the girls race in 19:04.8, and the Trojans swept the top five finishing positions.

With so many golfers returning for the 2020-21 season, Powhatan has a tight-knit group. “They push each other in practice to improve their games,” said head coach Chris Leech. Powhatan is stacked with experience this season. Seniors Connor Voorhees and Parker Snellings and juniors Brandon Washburn, Adam Camp, Cade Van Buskirk and Jack Altieri have all returned. “Both Parker and Connor are motivated to go out strong their senior year,” Leech said. He added that two newcomers to the team, Noah Lane and Luke McDaniels, are both capable of making the starting lineup and contributing scores. “This team has a lot of depth. Anyone in the starting lineup can contribute a low score,” Leech said. “That is something we haven’t always had.” Powhatan is also coming off of a 2019 season in which it sent two golfers, Voorhees and Washburn, to regionals, with Washburn narrowly missing out on an individual berth for the state tournament. “We ended on a high note last season with a strong showing in the sub regional and almost having an individual make it to states,” Leech said. “Our goal this year is to continue that upward trend in the regular season and regional play.” One major challenge facing not only Powhatan, but all VHSL golf teams, is the different playing season. “Playing golf in March and April is very different from playing in August and September. Course conditions dictate a different style of play,” Leech
said. “As they get more comfortable with the conditions, especially around the greens, I expect scores to start dropping.” Leech noted that keeping shots in play is even more critical during this time of year. “A lot of focus will be placed on our irons,” he said, “and finding that ‘go-to’ shot off the tee.” While they’re playing in a whole new season, the Indians now have familiarity with their regular-season opponents as they take on Year 2 in the Dominion District, which includes L.C. Bird, Clover Hill, Cosby, James River, Manchester, Midlothian, and Monacan for this year. “Now that we’ve seen the courses and players, I hope we feel more comfortable and improve our play,” Leech said. Powhatan as of Monday, March 15, had two wins against Clover Hill and Manchester and one loss to Cosby. Powhatan dropped its score of 186 from its season-opening March 2 match at Lake Chesdin (Cosby had 155, Clover Hill 187) down to 163 on March 9 (Manchester had 164) at Powhatan’s home course, the Mill Quarter Plantation Golf Club. Powhatan was slated to play James River and Monacan at Stonehenge Country Club on Tuesday, March 16, at 3:30 p.m., and will next play L.C. Bird and Midlothian on Thursday at 3:30 p.m. Powhatan will also host Clover Hill and Cosby on Tuesday, March 23, at Mill Quarter at 3:30 p.m. “It’s great that we have the opportunity to play sports this year,” Leech said, “and I’m thankful for the VHSL (Virginia High School League) and PCPS (Powhatan County Public Schools) for giving that to us.”

Aidin Muminovic achieves 4 wins, 8 top 3 finishes at states Staff Reports
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Aidin Muminovic recently earned four first-place finishes at states.
Aidin Muminovic, a 12-year-old student-athlete at Powhatan Middle School, delivered a dominant performance in his age group of this past weekend’s state meet. After swimming at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Muminovic came away from the meet with four gold medals, three silvers and one bronze. A year after the meet was heartbreakingly cancelled due to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the swimmers embraced the opportunity to compete at states again this March,
although the format for this year’s competition was different. The state meet was split into two separate pools to allow distancing, with one half of the competition swimming at Liberty and the other half in Stafford. The competitors swam a distance session Thursday night and preliminaries and finals across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, making for 15 events. Muminovic won every final at Liberty University except one close race where he touched a close second. In addition to achieving eight top-three finishes, Muminovic achieved six new AAAA times.
He took first place in the 500-yard freestyle (5:02.36), the 100 butterfly (59.23), the 100 individual medley (1:01.04), and the 200 IM (2:10.29). He also earned runner-up finishes in the 100 free (53.13), the 200 free (1:54.40), and the 50 fly (26.78). He swam third in the 50 free (24.51). “We are so proud of all of his hard work and perseverance,” said Aidin’s mom Rebecca Muminovic. “Prelims and finals in the past have been a challenge for him, and I was so proud to see him work through those mental challenges to rise to the occasion for himself and his team!”

race,” he said. “I just ran my race, and I’m a strong finisher, so that’s what I did today, and I was able to pull off a win.” Greenhow’s run on Saturday was his fastest to date in the indoor 200. His personal record in the outdoor 200 is currently a time of 21.31. As for everything that’s come together to help Greenhow run consistently fast times, it’s all thanks to his coach, he
said of Keilah Tyson. “She is definitely the best – I think she’s probably the best in Virginia to be honest in my opinion,” Greenhow said. “She has competed on every level – high school, college, and professional. She has excelled and did well at each of those levels. She knows track and field inside-out. “To have her as a coach, it’s great, because I know she will bring the
best out of me, no matter what.” To Greenhow, who will take on some of the country’s best when he competes for the University of South Carolina, this victory shows that he’s able to compete and do well at the national level. “After this, I’m just getting ready for outdoor,” Greenhow said, “and hopefully do the same thing.”
