Supervisors split but pass comprehensive plan By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors voted last week in a split decision to adopt the 2021 LongRange Comprehensive Plan. During the board’s meeting on Monday, Oct. 25, the members voted 3-2 in favor of adopting the newly-revised comprehensive plan. This plan was an update from the comprehensive plan adopted by the previous board in 2019 and is supposed to offer a guideline of the vision for the county in the coming decades. Chairwoman Karin Carmack, who represents District 5, Tom Berry, who at the time was the District 2 interim representative, and Mike Byerly, District 3, voted in favor of adopting the plan. David Williams, District 1, and Bill Cox,

District 4, voted against it. Toward the beginning of the discussion, there was potential that the board would not move forward with the plan. Raising concerns about several aspects of the plan that still needed to be corrected or decided and calling the document a “mess,” Cox had made a motion to defer adoption of the plan. Cox and Williams, while commending Berry for his work, also echoed some comments that were made in the public comment period pointing out that he was appointed and a board member elected by District 2 residents would be chosen on Nov. 2. A duly-elected representative should have the final vote on the comprehensive plan, they said. However, the deferral failed in the same 3-2 split. Carmack, who opposed the deferral, said the board had been working on the plan for over a year and if Berry’s vote were going to be an issue the process

should have halted six months earlier and waited for the new board member to do the work of revising the plan with the other board members. “Mr. Berry has voted on countless resolutions, rezonings, and his vote and his input has been fine for that; I think it is sufficient for the comprehensive plan,” she said. Byerly agreed with her assessment and pointed out that in the negotiation of the plan, no one was going to get everything they wanted, but the goal was to adopt a plan they felt would be in the best interest of the county. Once the deferral was off the table, the board moved through several issues raised by members and decided to vote on five amendments before adopting the final plan. The updated comprehensive plan was adopted minus the transportation plan, which has to be reviewed by the Virginia Department of Transporta-

tion (VDOT) and can’t be voted on by the supervisors until it is reviewed. The meeting also included comments from five individuals during a public hearing. They raised the issue about Tuesday’s election; pointed out that some of the board’s decisions hadn’t been supported and seemed arbitrary; said residents weren’t interested in highdensity housing, and strongly opposed having designations on Page Road that encouraged commercial development. A list of the changes the board made from the 2019 comprehensive plan can be found in the Oct. 25 board packet on the county website, www.powhatanva. gov.

ceive it they did so with immense pride. They had to be told early so ODEMSA could come out and film them receiving the award for the virtual awards ceremony. “One of the things we have tried to do is certainly

build the agency, build relationships – relationships all the way from the top and the senior most people to the brand new people that come in,” Goodman said. “It was nice to be rewarded for that see AWARD, pg. 2

effort that has gone into it, because we have been lucky enough to get grants for recruitment and retention, develop new programs, and ideas that came from within. By getting the award, it was a validation of what we have put so much work into for the past several years.” Heidi Hooker, executive director of the Old Dominion EMS Alliance, said all of the 13 recipients recognized in this year’s award show were nominated by peers. Then a selection committee comprised of previous award winners was responsible for choosing the winners for 2021. The selection committee was looking for an agency that demonstrated something that made them stand out in patient care. “For Powhatan one of the things that stood out was the recruitment campaign that they have. Some of their neighbors – in particular Cumberland – their volunteer agencies had to shut their doors this year,” Hooker said. “But Powhatan was thriving at that time with members. They do that because of the programs they have in the schools and also they received a grant and they have a very robust recruitment campaign that they do.” In the acceptance video, ODEMSA highlighted Powhatan’s recruitment efforts, particularly the ones aimed at getting young people involved. Goodman, who was interviewed for the video, talked about both Powhatan Fire and Rescue’s Junior Emergency Technician program, which is open to 12- to 15-year-olds interested in learning about their local fire, rescue and emergency services organizations, and the Firefighter I and II program at Powhatan High School. “The students at the high school can actually enroll in that program as one of their electives and, at the conclusion of the program, they have completed all the same training that any of our firefighters would normally come to the fire house and do on their own time. Many of them will transition into a full active role in the local fire department as well,” Goodman said. Goodman added last week that bringing people into the volunteer service isn’t quite as easy as it once was, so it is exciting to receive accolades for the department’s effort to deliver good services, bring the right people in and recognize them for their efforts.

Village comes together to save life of heart attack victim Managing Editor

POWHATAN – If you try to praise Caroline Greber for saving the life of her husband Jim by giving him life-saving CPR, she will flat out tell you she doesn’t deserve the credit. That credit goes to Powhatan’s first responders, she insists. Those men and women were honored by the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors at its Oct. 25 meeting with a resolution recognizing their efforts to save Jim Greber when he had a heart attack on Sept. 25. During the meeting, the board honored two emergency 911 communications officers, Mary Franklin and Madison Ward; fire and rescue members Janson Murphy, ESS contract provider; Carroll Smith, volunteer; Ken Satterwhite, career; Cade Van Buskirk, volunteer; Grayson Walker, volunteer, and John Menc, career, and Deputy Rebekah Macknight, Cpl. James Sullivan, and Chief Deputy Jeff Searfoss. Interim supervisor Tom Berry, who recognized the group during the meeting, said that the mix of first responders honored shows that it takes a large group effort to save a life like this. “They work hard, they do a great job, and it is a great system that works well together – much better many times than other systems as well. Thank you all for your service,” Berry told the group after sharing what happened that day. When the Grebers got home from shopping the afternoon of Sept. 25, they had no idea their world was about to be turned on its axis. Jim was carrying in some of the heavier items and Caroline was on the porch. The next thing she knew, she heard a great thud and rushed in to find her husband had collapsed and wasn’t breathing. Not knowing what to do, a frantic Caroline called 911, and communications officer Mary Franklin answered the call. Just 40 seconds into the 911 call, Franklin began instructing Caroline on how to perform CPR on her husband until help could arrive. “It was my hands pushing but it was her doing it because I have never done CPR, I had no CPR training and she walked me through every step of it. And when I got tired, which I did, she was there constantly pushing me. Constantly pushing,” Caroline said last week. “People will say to me, ‘you saved his life.’ I didn’t save his life. Mary Franklin did – 911 did – because they were able to talk me through what I needed to do.” But it didn’t stop there. While Franklin was walking Caroline through CPR, the only other dispatcher on duty, Madison Ward, was sending aid to the Grebers’ home. Franklin said Caroline did an amazing job keeping CPR going for more than six minutes until the first EMS team crew arrived on scene. Despite being obviously emotionally distraught, she was willing to have the 911 dispatcher talk her through the process and followed directions perfectly. “It is 100% definite if he had been going without her doing CPR on him, he would not have made it,” Franklin said. Franklin pointed out that she and Ward were the only two 911 communications officers working at the time.

When she started giving CPR instructions to Caroline, Franklin had to be entirely focused on keeping her going. So she relied entirely on Ward to coordinate dispatching EMS and deputies to the scene. The first EMTs arrived on scene less than seven minutes after the 911 call came in, and just a few minutes after that, they were using a defibrillator to administer the lifesaving shocks and continued CPR that would bring him back to life. While EMTs tried to save him, deputies arrived and took Caroline outside to keep her calm and away from the distressing scene. “Then when I didn’t stay outside anymore because I couldn’t handle what was going on, I went back inside and they were right there by my side the whole time,” she said. They were also there beside her when Jim was revived, righting Caroline’s upended world once again. He was conscious and talking when they loaded him into an ambulance to go to Chippenham Hospital. An obviously frazzled Caroline was driven to the hospital by Deputy Rebekah MacKnight. Franklin said that when she finished the call with Caroline after first responders arrived, it was thankfully quiet in the 911 center so she and Ward stopped to say a prayer for Jim to make it. When one of the units marked “ROSC” in the system at 3:46 p.m. – almost 29 minutes after she took Caroline’s 911 call – Franklin admits she and Ward had to look it up. It stood for “return of spontaneous circulation.” “It was amazing. We had to look it up and then we were celebrating. This was the first time that I have ever worked a call that, after they had worked on him, he was sitting up and able to talk to him before they took him to the hospital. This is definitely by far in 14 years one call that I am very thankful that I got to take,” Franklin said. She added that this was also possible because Powhatan 911 Communications instituted the Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) program in 2020, which meant she was trained to give a caller the necessary instructions to perform CPR accurately until help could arrive. “Mrs. Greber did an amazing job with instructions, because had she not done exactly what she did to keep him going as well as she did – I can’t take credit for this. That is all I know. I gave her instructions and she really did it. Between God and her and the first responders and the amazing teamwork that everybody demonstrated that day that really got the results we did,” she said. During the five days Jim spent in the hospital, the couple learned that he had a 90% blockage in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, which they heard referred to as a widowmaker. They also learned he had an arrhythmia, and doctors don’t know which caused the heart attack. Jim is home from the hospital and wearing a LifeVest, which is a wearable cardioverter defibrillator, for 45 days while doctors decide what the next step will be for him, his wife said. Looking back on this horrible day in their lives, Caroline said she is incredibly grateful for the men and women who helped save her husband’s life. She couldn’t make it to the board of supervisors’ recognition but she said she was deeply grateful. “I thank God he is alive. I thank God he is OK. Honestly I thank the team that was here because they gave me my life back. My family is my life,” she said. “My hus-

Board recognizes Tom Berry for interim service as supervisor By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors honored Tom Berry last week for his service since April as the interim District 2 Board of Supervisors member. Berry attended his last meeting in the interim position on Monday, Oct. 25 ahead of the special election to decide who will fill the seat for the remainder of former supervisor Larry Nordvig’s original term through Dec. 31, 2023. The election occurred after press time. At last week’s meeting, the other four board members voted unanimously to pass a proclamation in Berry’s honor for serving in the position since he was sworn in on April 2. When Berry applied to be the interim supervisor, he made it clear that he had no intention of running in the special election so it would be a level playing field for anyone else who decided to run. The proclamation thanked Berry for giving representation to District 2 residents and supporting and assisting the board of supervisors on multiple projects, including the successful partnership with Firefly Broadband and the adoption of the 2021 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan. In his board comments at the end of the meeting, Berry acknowledged that the best situation for Powhatan would have been to have an elected official in the District 2 seat for the last seven months and many were unhappy that did not happen. But since an interim supervisor was the route the county went, he hoped he fulfilled his role with dignity and ethical be-

havior. He said that while he did not make everyone happy during his time on the board, that was never his objective. “The objective was to serve and represent the district and citizens to the best of my ability while following the Constitution of Virginia and the United States,” he said. Berry thanked his fellow board members and county staff for welcoming him and being cordial and professional even when they didn’t agree. He pointed out that the supervisors read and consider all citizen contacts and do their best to represents the citizens of their districts but not just the loudest voices. He concluded his speech by encouraging everyone to vote on Election Day. “Find someone to fill this chair that is going to meet your expectations and is going to represent you. Vote for whom you think is going to do the best job. You have some great choices on the ballot locally and beyond, and you should take advantage of the rights you have in this great country, state, county and district,” he said. “With that said I look forward to continuing to serve you, the citizens of the county as I go back to riding a fire engine and teaching firefighters here in Powhatan County.” At different points in the meeting, the other supervisors thanked Berry for his service and commended him for how he handled the role. David Williams, who represents District 1, said he couldn’t think of a more difficult role than the one Berry faced when he came into the interim position in the middle of the term and with no previous experience.

TOM BERRY “I have to tell you, I am really surprised at how well he did. I am not sure I could have done as well under the same circumstances and with the same background coming in, but he really has done an outstanding job for the county and I couldn’t be more appreciative,” Williams said. Bill Cox, District 4, also expressed appreciation, saying it has been fun to get to know Berry but also to get to know him outside of their work on the board. Mike Byerly, District 3, agreed, saying Berry stepped up in a challenging situation. They didn’t always agree but they found a way to get through it. He said Berry brought a different perspective to the board. David Anderson, who spoke during the public comments, said he lived in District 2 when the seat first became vacant, and “for a few months we didn’t have a voice on the board and it was very frustrating.” “Your willingness to serve the county and serve District 2 is a wonderful thing. I think you did it with a common sense point of view and you did it with a civil manner, which in this day and time is not always the way things are done,” he said.

Powhatan man convicted of 2019 murder in Louisa County By Frank Green Richmond Times-Dispatch

A Powhatan County man was convicted by a Louisa County jury Saturday of the 2019 shooting death of his roommate whose body was dumped in Louisa. After a four-day jury trial that ended late Saturday, Anthony Davenport Jr., 25, was convicted of first-degree murder, using a firearm in the commission of murder and concealing a dead body, said Louisa Commonwealth’s Attorney Rusty McGuire. Davenport faces up to life in prison when sentenced Jan. 5, 2022, according to a statement on Oct. 26 from Robert M. Wood, who prosecuted the case with fellow Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Alex Goodman. Davenport’s lawyer, Peter Jenkins, declined to comment. According to Wood, Davenport lived in a residence in Powhatan with three other men. On June 18, 2019, he told a man he previously mistakenly accused of a theft — and whom he had beaten with a baseball bat — that he believed Terrell Bailey, another room-

Hopewell man charged with firing into occupied vehicle

mate, was the thief. Davenport woke Bailey around 10 p.m. and told him he had to move out and to pack his things. Davenport then left with Bailey in Davenport’s vehicle saying that he would put Bailey up in a hotel for the night. This was the last time anyone saw Bailey alive, Wood said. On June 22, 2019, a farmhand in Louisa, some 50 miles from Davenport’s residence in Powhatan, discovered the remains of a half-dressed man near a remote woodline who was ultimately identified as Bailey. When the Louisa Sheriff’s Office went to the residence in Powhatan, they learned that Davenport had left on a train for New York the same day that Bailey’s body was discovered. Davenport was arrested in New York and his cellphone seized. The FBI determined that on the night Bailey went missing, Davenport was close to the remote section of Louisa where Bailey’s body was found, according to Wood. Bailey’s blood was also found on items recovered from Davenport’s car, authorities said.

By Laura McFarland POWHATAN –A Hopewell man has been charged in an Oct. 17 case with firing a gun into an occupied vehicle in a suspected case of road rage.

Cerullo said. At some point in the altercation, Booker allegedly took out a gun and fired into the other man’s rear bumper. The investigation also found a bullet hole in the roof of Booker’s vehicle from where he allegedly hit his own vehicle. Cerullo said that this is an extreme case of road rage with one person firing into another vehicle. However, he said it is not as rare in road rage incidents in Powhatan County for one person to take out and show, or “brandish,” a weapon at another vehicle, which is illegal. “I really want to impress upon folks that in this office we really

We have thousands of toys and games, clothing for infants, children, ladies and gentlemen as well as household items. They are all brand new and available for the perfect shopper to find. If you can’t find what families need there then off you go to join America’s Christmas shoppers for those items in the various stores in Powhatan and Chesterfield. (You’ll be reimbursed for these.) Wrappers- Ginny Broughton leads the many volunteers who enjoy finding just the perfect wrapping paper or gift bag for gifts for infants through the elderly. We begin wrapping by the second week of November and don’t stop til that last package is sent on its way no later than Dec. 10.

those in the document’s transportation plan, which still has to be sent to VDOT for review. The board had discussed including language from their adopted strategic plan in the chapter called Vision and Goals but it was not included in the final draft. The board voted unanimously to include the strategic plan language in that section. Cox pointed out that a map of the Route 60 Corridor East Special Plan map was not complete and that the complete Countywide Future Land Use map needed to be updated in the plan. The board voted 4-0 to make this change. Byerly, who was attending the meeting virtually, was trying to ask a question when the vote was taken. He did not have a recorded vote during the meeting. Williams made a motion to remove four parcels on Page Road near the Chesterfield County border from the Commerce Center designation (the map actually shows them as Gateway Business) and move them back to residential. The board passed the motion unanimously. The board then voted 3-2 to pass the comprehensive plan without the transportation plan section.

cause of information that was previously agreed upon by the board was left out of the final draft up for consideration last week. The board voted on five amendments during the discussion on the plan. One of the most heated was on the subject of “high-density housing,” which has been a sticking point all along. At a previous meeting the board voted to allow up to nine units per acre in the area in District 1 around Route 711 at Winterfield, and this was brought up again when the members were discussing what residential density to allow along Route 60. In particular, the question of Economic Opportunity areas on Route 60 being allowed to have residential densities up to four units per acre was a point of contention. The board held a vote on removing two Economic Opportunity areas from Route 60, but it failed in a 3-2 vote with Carmack, Berry and Byerly voting against it. Williams pointed out safety recommendations made by VDOT in a Route 711 Safety Study were not included in the final draft of the comprehensive plan. The board voted unanimously to include

Friends of Library hope to encourage reading By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

ne of the first things I learned as a budding reporter as a freshman in high school was the basic elements of a story – who, what, when, why and where. Recently, I had a conversation that posed some of those questions in a different way. In the conversation with Bruce Behringer, president of the Friends of the Powhatan Library board, we were talking about a survey he is putting out that will examine Powhatan residents’ reading preferences. The purpose is twofold: to figure out how to encourage reading more and to make adjustments where necessary to better meet the needs of Powhatan residents. Now as both an avid reader and user of the Powhatan Library, I love the idea of them trying to appeal more to the community by asking what residents want. The first step in this year-long process that Behringer is spearheading is a simple survey that asks three simple questions. If you want to participate, you can answer with single words or

multiple ideas and send responses to friendsofpowhatanlibrary@gmail.com. 1. WHY do you read? What encourages you to read? 2. WHAT do you read? What types of topics? What was the most recent thing that you read? 3. HOW do you read? Do you read books (print or eBooks), magazines, newspapers, internet blogs, favorite internet sites? Behringer will collect the responses and create a report that will help the board create plans for campaigns that can be used to promote reading in the library that appeals to Powhatan residents. After the campaigns are implemented, they would seek feedback to see how residents reacted. “This isn’t a huge thing but it’s an attempt to learn a little bit more about segments and then to encourage those segments. Segments could be new mothers and children. Segments could be the elderly. … It could be lots of different things,” he said. “We are trying to cast that wide net first of why you read, create the messages from that, and then go on to create a method and think through what can we do to help

people more.” I have heard so many times from friends, families, and strangers that they are not readers. That may be true if you think only about sitting down to read a big book cover to cover, but, as his survey pinpoints, there is so much more to reading than just books. As Behringer pointed out, maybe you like entertainment articles, short stories, funny posts on Facebook, news or magazine articles, food blogs, trade magazines, or anything else in the wide world that involves reading. “Everybody reads every day. It is a question of getting people to acknowledge that they read,” he said, “and then that there are other things that they could read that might be even pleasurable if they got into a novel, started reading more deeply into newspapers or they found a blog that they really liked. If we encourage reading, reading then hopefully becomes a lifelong habit, a positive habit, and that will help everybody in a lot of different ways.” Of course, he was ready and willing to share examples of how reading is a critical part of our everyday lives: Reading to your children or

Volunteers: the thread that binds a community By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Fighting fires by its very nature is a dangerous and demanding job, and finding individuals to perform that duty is becoming more difficult with each passing year. While the number of paid Fire/EMS staff has steadily increased in the past decade, recruiting and retaining volunteers becomes more difficult with each passing year. Volunteer Fire Departments are vital and integral parts of the public service community, but have experienced a decrease in the number of those willing to serve in recent years. For small communities, it’s been a constant struggle to maintain the numbers necessary to provide vital services. Towns and localities with less than 10,000 people often depend solely on the efforts of volunteers to staff their fire departments. According to the National Fire Protection Agency, volunteer fire departments across the country save taxpayers more than $139 billion in firefighter costs annually; and more than and volunteers comprise about 70% of America’s firefighting force. Communities like Goochland, Powhatan and Hanover are experiencing those same difficult in attracting and retaining volunteers in their programs, all of which enjoy a proud tradition of longstanding volunteer fire departments and auxiliaries in their localities. And while the number of volunteers recruits diminishes, the number of calls has exploded across the nation. Many of the communities affected have aging populations where the volunteer pool is limited, and doing the physically demanding work is just too difficult for some residents. Often a younger generation of newer residents have not established a community bond that makes public service less of a priority. In addition, businesses who once sup-

ported and provided jobs for the volunteers by allowing flexible schedules in order to meet community emergencies are few and far between, and volunteers often work as hourly paid regular jobs that do not offer that same flexibility. The demands are great and the rewards measured by the appreciation of a community and the pride instilled by doing a job well and lending a helping hand. The time and effort required to serve is also significant, as volunteer firefighters require the same training as career employees. And one cannot discount the burnout factor associated with volunteer Fire/EMS employees. Calls have steadily increased accounting for a 300 percent increase in the past decade. There’s also a substantial risk of injury or illness associated with the work, and many forms of cancer are linked to hazardous materials encountered routinely by firefighters and EMTs. It’s also important to recognize that volunteering does not always equate to hauling heavy equipment up numerous flights of stairs while wearing pounds of burdensome equipment. Many departments are emphasizing the need for volunteers to perform other duties like clerical work, maintenance and education programs. The bottom line is these volunteers are needed more now than ever, not only for the vital services they provide, but for the overall health of a community. When volunteers are involved, it often indicates a vibrant community where residents take the role of public service personally. For most of it, the concept of volunteer fire departments is as American as apple pie or a Labor Day Parade down Main Street. It’s also important to recognize the amazing will of those who sacrifice so much to ensure their communities are safe and residents feel taken care of, and the important thread that volunteers provide. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-344-8746

Localities have to ensure their districts continue to meet the threshold of not differing in population by more than 5% from one district to another. In Powhatan, that means the difference in population from the smallest to the largest district cannot vary by more than 296 people. According to the census count results, District 1 saw the biggest growth with a counted population of 6,732 people. Using that as a reference, all four other districts have a difference in population greater than 5%: District 2, 5,760 (-14%); District 3, 5,266 (-22%); District 4, 6,111 (-9%), and District 5, 5,757 (-14%).

Powhatan stuns undefeated Midlothian By Rob Witham for Powhatan Today

MIDLOTHIAN — When your football team is coming off an upset loss, placing your playoff hopes in some jeopardy, and you look on your schedule and see an unbeaten rival coming up next, you either see a liability or an opportunity. “We had a bad taste in our mouth after last week. I’ve been doing this 27 years, and this is the best 5-3 football team I’ve ever coached,” said Powhatan head coach Mike Henderson. When opportunity knocked, Powhatan kicked the door down, playing its best game of the season, handing Midlothian its first loss in dominating fashion 42-7. For Powhatan quarterback Dylan Trevillian, it was a night to remember, as the junior threw for 230 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for a fifth to lead the offensive onslaught. “Everybody was hyped. This is our rivalry game,” Trevillian said. “We had such high energy all week, and we brought it to the game.” It was an unusual case where, in the end, a team coming off a disappointing loss — the Indians’ 24-23 defeat at the hands of L.C. Bird a week earlier — actually had the emotional advantage over a Midlothian team who entered at 7-0, but had to sit on an emotional comefrom behind-win against rival Manchester for two weeks due to a COVID cancellation in its schedule last Friday. Both teams were sluggish early, as the first eight minutes of the game saw four combined punts. But the Indians got their offense cranking when Trevllian’s first touchdown pass, from 40 yards, landed in the hands of Fisher Hamersley just across the goal line for a 7-0 lead. The Indian defense held firm over the next quarter, then the offense returned in full force, driving into the red zone, capping a drive with a Mitchell Johnson 3-yard run to up the lead to 14-0. Midlothian (7-1) finally found its offensive footing, scoring on an 8-yard run from Ashby Berry

with 2:15 left in the half to draw within a touchdown. But the Trojans left Powhatan too much time, as, with 25 seconds left, Trevillian fired a pass to Ethan Dowdy, who laid out per-

fectly for a diving catch from 24 yards to reestablish the 14-point lead at halftime, up 21-7. The Trojans won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. Midlo-

thian fans were ready for another comeback, a la two weeks prior. Despite starting their opening drive near midfield, Midlothian advanced to the Powhatan 36 where,

on fourth down, the Indians stopped quarterback Cooper Meads. Four minutes later, Trevillian found Dowdy again, this time on a 25yard score, and with 5:13

left in the third quarter, Powhatan led 28-7. “We said if we had to come off a heartbreaking loss, the best team we could play is Midlothian,” Henderson explained. “Monday, we said that loss was painful, it was terrible, but living last week isn’t going to help us this week.” When the Trojans gambled and failed on fourth down in their own territory on their next possession, the Indians put the game to bed on Trevillian’s fourth touchdown strike, a 24-yard pass to Jason Worthington, to up the lead to 35-7 and begin to send Midlothian fans to the exits. Trevillian finished the scoring on a 12-yard run where he escaped the Midlothian rush, scrambled, then found a seam to the end zone. “I didn’t see any receivers, so I just took it and did it myself,” Trevillian said, giving credit to his entire offense for the performance. see STUNS, pg. 2

Knights stumble against visiting Kavaliers By Nick Vandeloecht for Powhatan Today

POWHATAN – When 8-man league playoffs commence this weekend, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will look to hit the reset button following a 26-16 loss to Kenston Forest in last Friday’s regular-season finale. “We made a lot of mistakes tonight, and against a good team. You can’t do that,” BSH head coach Gary Brock said while adding: “We’ll come back. Most teams don’t have an opportunity to get a reset or a reboot or whatever else. We’ve got a week to go on and correct the mistakes that we had and then come out and play next week.” The visiting Kavaliers, who entered Friday’s game having lost only one game this season, seized a 14-0 lead with the help of a 15-yard touchdown in the second quarter and Trey Lewis taking the second-half kickoff to the house on a fiery sprint spanning more than 70 yards along the right sideline. Kenston Forest then got the ball back on a punt by BSH and marched its way down into the Knights’ red zone in the third quarter. BSH’s resilient defense, however, pushed the Kavaliers backwards, with Josh Decker tackling the ball carrier to force fourth and 14 at the Knights’ 23. Kenston Forest threw an incomplete fourthdown pass to hand possession back to the Knights, and athletic BSH senior Zander Nadeau needed just two plays to cover the 77-yard distance to the goal. He followed up a chunky 18-yard romp with a 59-yard rushing trip to the end zone that saw him explode through a hole up the middle. Nadeau’s touchdown put his Knights on the board. Within one minute of game time, however, Lewis let loose a touchdown run of 52 yards to give the Kavaliers insurance. The Knights’ offense would soon answer. A monster run by Decker, coupled with a penalty against the visitors, pushed the Knights all the way up to the opponents’ 12-yard line. BSH senior Harrison Lee capped the drive with a 5-yard touchdown sweep around the left edge on a fourthand-2 play, cutting the Kavaliers’ lead to 20-16. On the Kavaliers’ next

drive, defense and penalties pinned them deep at their own 18 on fourth and 27. Kenston Forest punted the ball to the Knight 36, but BSH fumbled the ball on the very next play, giving the Kavaliers’ offense a short field to work with. The visitors’ drive culminated in quarterback Tyler Turman’s dive across the scoring plane for a touchdown. Nadeau appeared to respond with an explosive kickoff return, but the referees ruled that the ball was fumbled into the end zone, resulting in a touchback with the ball going right back to the Kavaliers’ offense. The Knights wouldn’t

get the ball back until less than two regulation minutes remained, when Decker and Julian Alcazar sacked the quarterback at the BSH 42. The Knights shifted to primarily passing the ball, with Nadeau and Will Fichter at quarterback finding Lee and David Mann at receiver, respectively, to push the Knights up to the Kavalier 9. But with time expiring, an incomplete pass by BSH ended the game. Defensively, BSH junior Nathan Roberts delivered a first-quarter sack for a loss of 12 yards and added 10 tackles. Musselman led the Knights in tackles with 13, Decker had 10, Mann had eight and Lee had seven.

This is the Knights’ winningest campaign since 2013, when they won their fifth straight state championship and secured a final record of 11-1. “I’m so proud of them,” Brock said of his players. “We’re not the most gifted sometimes and stuff like that, but we work hard, and we worked hard all summer, and as a result, we’ve had a good year and hope to have an even better year before it’s over with.” Friday’s game was also Senior Night, with BSH football celebrating the contributions and efforts of seniors Josh Decker, Julian Alcazar, Gage Smith, Zander Nadeau,

Patrick Maynes, Ethan Bishop, Harrison Lee and Garett Musselman. “Great senior class definitely going to miss them when everything’s said and done; they’ve excelled, they’ve grown up - gosh, I remember when they were little ones and . . . they’ve come a long way, they really have,” Brock said. “They’ve kept an even keel for this team and really led it. They’ve done a good job.” As of Friday, the Knights were slated to host a semifinal round in the 8-man playoffs on Friday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. “I think we’ll bounce back.

The Indians (6-3) will not have any problem, according to Henderson, moving forward and preparing for Senior Night this Friday when they host Cosby, a team fighting for a playoff bid in Region 6A and at least one extra

game for the only head coach in the history of the program, Pete Mutascio, who announced his retirement after 15 years last week due to health issues. “We’ve never played 48 minutes like that until tonight. Cosby lost to Bird by three points. We lost to Bird by one point,” Henderson said. “They’re a good, tough, physical football team. There’s no doubt. We won’t overlook them.” Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Do you love sports? Do you love telling stories? Do you have the chops to write compelling tales – and to do so on a deadline? If so, Richmond Suburban News wants you! RSN is seeking sports correspondents (stringers in newsroom lingo) to help our staff cover the blizzard of events in the Hanover, Powhatan, and Goochland communities we serve. We feed on a steady diet of high school sports, with some college competition (in Hanover) and the occasional professional

event. The work is mostly nights and weekends. But we pay our correspondents in coin of the realm rather than the oft-promised “exposure.” We prefer people with some journalism training – published clips (even as a student reporter) are best – and need people who can consistently turn around compelling content on time and to the assigned length. For more information, contact sports editor Dave Lawrence at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

■ VIRGINIA AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: Pictured above are protected packages containing the unsearched Vault Bags that everyone will be trying to get. It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched bags loaded with rarely seen Gov’t issued coins could be worth someday. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s including all those shown in today’s publication. In addition, after each bag is loaded with over 200 rarely seen coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks are never searched to determine collector values. So you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a real steal.

Rarely seen United States coins up for grabs in Virginia -zip codes determine who gets them Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code below and beat the 48 hour order deadline UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ISSUED COINS SEALED IN EACH BAG:

“The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for Federated Mint. That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who if you find the first three digits of your zip code listed in today’s publication. “But don’t thank the Government. As U.S. Coin and Currency Director for Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins to the general public — I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always f luctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal, “said Lynne. “These are not ordinary coins you f ind in your pocket change. These are rarely seen silver, scarce, collectible and non-circulating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Lynne. The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the

249 278 279

■ UNSEARCHED: Pictured above are the unsearched Vault Bags being handed over to Virginia residents who call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends. And here’s the best part. Each Vault Bag is loaded with over 200 U.S. Gov’t issued coins, including all the coins pictured in today’s publication, some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value. Each coin is verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above before the bags are securely sealed and the dates and mint marks are never searched by Federated Mint to determine collector value.

48-hour deadline ends. This is very important. After the Vault Bags were loaded with over 200 of U.S. Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the deadline ends. “ R emem b er t h i s , we c a n not stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Lynne. The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 a.m. this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded with the rarely seen coins pictured left and highly sought after collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including iconic Morgan Silver Dollars,

a historic Peace Silver Dollar, stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars, the collectible Silver Eisenhower Dollars, spectacular Silver Liberty Head Half and Quarter Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, one cent Historic Wheat Coins including 1943 “Steel Cents”, one of the beautiful Winged Liberty Head Dimes, scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coins and the last ever minted Buffalo Nickels. “With all these collectible U.S. Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re going to do our best to answer all the calls,” said Lynne. Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who if you find the first three digits of your zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. ■
