Powhatan sees surprising 71.43% voter turnout By Laura McFarland Editor
P
OWHATAN – A cold and rainy Election Day didn’t dampen the drive of Powhatan County residents to have their voices heard as 71.43% of registered voters turned out to cast a ballot – an astounding number for a nonpresidential election, election officials say. Of the 22,958 registered voters in Powhatan, 16,398 cast their votes on Nov. 2 or in the 45 days leading up to it through early and absentee voting, according to Karen Alexander, director of elections. The percentage is especially impressive when compared to the last comparable election held in 2017, which saw a 55% voter turnout. While it wasn’t the roughly 85% voter turnout in the 2020 presidential election year, it was still stellar for a nonpresidential year, she said. “I was blown away. It was exciting to see so many people care about a very important race,” she said. Also impressive were the 5,709 ballots cast ahead of Election Day through early voting and the absentee voting, or 24.87% of those who
voted, she added. “It was wonderful and I am glad that they took advantage of the early voting tent. It is a lot of work to have 45 days of early voting. It would have been a shame for people not to take advantage of it, so I am so glad they did,” Alexander said. Speaking at about 4 p.m., Elisabeth Palsa, chief election official at Polling Precinct 201 – Powhatan Station, said Election Day had been awesome, with 792 votes cast at that time and people obviously passionate about exercising their right to vote. Another 184 people would vote there in the next three hours, and the 976 total for Election Day didn’t even account for early and absentee votes. “The atmosphere has been very positive. People who have come in, they have come in and they are excited about voting,” Palsa said. “They have been engaging everyone here – our election poll workers – in a friendly manner, and they seem to be just excited about the election – even telling people, ‘I need to call my neighbors and make sure they come out.’” For her part, Palsa added it is a great feeling to have a front row seat watching democracy at

Chesterfield Health District offers COVID vaccines for ages 5 to 11 Contributed Report Effective Thursday, Nov. 4, the Virginia Department of Health’s Chesterfield Health District began offering the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11, following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, at its staterun Community Vaccination Center (CVC) located in the Rockwood Shopping Center at 10161 Hull Street Road in Midlothian. The CVC is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Parents wishing to get their children vaccinated should make an appointment at vaccinate.virginia.gov or call 877-VAX-IN-VA (877-829-4682, TTY users call 7-1-1). Assistance is available in English, Spanish, and more than 100 other languages. Advanced registration is strongly encouraged to reduce wait times. Those with an appointment should plan to arrive no earlier than 20 minutes prior to the appointment time. A parent or guardian must accompany anyone under 18. “COVID-19 vaccines are a critical tool that can protect our children,” said Director of Chesterfield Health District Alexander Samuel, MD, MPH. “We are excited to offer Kid Pods in our CVC to help children feel comfortable when getting the vaccine. We encourage all parents to get your children vaccinated as soon as possible. It is a step closer to returning to a more normal life, including safely staying in school, visiting family and friends, traveling and taking part in extracurricular activities.” Powhatan County is a member of the Chesterfield Health District. Because the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) has been planning for the expansion of vaccine eligibility and availability, families will have many options for where to get their children the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination sites may include: pediatric offices, family practice offices, community vaccination centers (CVC), federally qualified health centers (FQHC), retail pharmacies, schoolbased clinics and mobile vaccine units. The experience of getting a COVID-19 vaccine will be very similar to the experience of getting routine vaccines. Parents can check out tips on talking to their child about what to expect at https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/ parents/visit/before-during-after-shots. html. For more about vaccinating children and teens, parents can visit https:// www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/ vaccines/recommendations/childrenteens.html.

Ballot issue causes slight delay in Election Night results By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – A combination of an unexpectedly high voter turnout and a delivery of incorrect ballots too close to Election Day caused delays when nine Powhatan County voting precincts ran out of scannable ballots and had to switch to ballots that were counted by hand after polls closed. Director of Elections Karen Alexander acknowledged that many voters grew troubled over a mid-day change in the voting process that occurred at nine of Powhatan’s 12 voting precincts when voters were no longer being instructed to cast their ballots into the optical voting machine, but rather putting them into an emergency ballot box on the side of the machine. Alexander and the Powhatan County Electoral Board pre-order ballots well in advance of scheduled elections. Unfortunately, for this election, the printer shipped incorrect quantities of the two types of Powhatan’s scannable ballots – one ballot style for the District 2 Special Election and a second ballot style for the remainder of the county, Alexander said. Without time to reorder and with enough scannable ballots to handle a normal turnout, the Electoral Board decided to proceed with the quantity of ballots on hand. But with the unprecedented turnout of voters on Tuesday, a shortage of scannable ballots became inevitable. Without another expedited option available to provide corrected ballots to voters, Alexander, in concert with the Electoral Board, made the decision to fol-
low the state’s protocol and print copies of ballots for hand counting instead of scanning. This option allowed for voting to continue in a timely fashion and ensure that every qualified voter was able to exercise his or her right to vote on Nov. 2. While many voters felt concerned over the change in procedure, there was no impact to their ability to cast an official ballot and have their vote counted, Alexander said. The only significant impact of the procedural change was the “timeliness of the results being ascertained.” State mandated ballot hand counting procedures were adopted at each precinct. Bi-partisan groups of election officials, under the watchful eyes of bi-partisan observers, collectively counted and recorded each and every vote cast in the emergency ballot boxes. All of Powhatan’s voting results were counted and reported to the Powhatan County Office of Elections and then on to the Virginia Department of Elections before 11 p.m. on Nov. 2. In total, election officials hand counted 1,940 ballots in the hours after the polls closed at 7 p.m. Alexander said that Powhatan was not the last locality to post election results on Election Night as there were other issues faced throughout the Commonwealth, including several other localities under the same ballot-shortagecircumstances. Ballots were hand counted for decades before electronic scanners and electronic voting machines were invented to expedite the results process, Alexander added. Hand counting ballots is perceived, by many, to be the most accurate and fair way to as-
certain votes, and therefore the reason Virginia now requires paper ballots. Therefore, while many people were uneasy about not seeing their ballot cast through the scanner on Election Day, others were quite pleased to know that a group of trained bipartisan officials would be counting their votes instead of a machine. James Babcock, chief election official at Precinct 401-Courthouse, said he notified the voter registrar’s office sometime before lunch that his location would be short on ballots and found out that he wasn’t the only one. He said the precinct, which is located at Powhatan Middle School, went through 800 scannable ballots before switching to the reproduced ballots at 1:50 p.m. When several hundred copies of the ballot were brought in to use at his precinct, representatives from the republican and democratic parties stationed outside were asked to look at them to verify that they were identical to the scannable ballots, Babcock said. Most of the voting process continued as normal. Citizens checked in with an ID, were handed a paper ballot and went to one of the voting booths to fill it out. However, when they took the ballots to the scanning machines, instead of feeding the copied ballot into the machine, voters were asked to fold them in half and put them into the emergency ballot box on one side of the machine. The box is normally used for ballots of people who vote in their vehicles outside. When the box became full at times, Babcock, with at least two election officials watching,

opened the box, moved the ballots into a secure overflow box, and then put new seals on both the emergency ballot box and the overflow box. “There are people who have asked questions. I have given an explanation and they seemed OK with that. A few have made comments to the campaigners that are outside. We have offered if anyone has concerns or questions they are welcome to come in and talk to me or, if they are not satisfied with me, they can go talk to Karen the registrar,” Babcock said. Jean Gannon, immediate past president of the Powhatan Republican Party, was outside of the precinct at the middle school. She said Babcock informed them at about 1 p.m. on Election Day that ballots were running low. Around the same time they
learned there were at least four counties across the state facing the same problem because of high turnout and an issue with a ballot vendor. “I think our local election office has handled it very well. These things happen, especially with such a big operation, and the turnout was way more than anybody anticipated. We were hoping that it would be large but we didn’t know that it would be this large,” she said. “All in all, it is being handled very well and we will resolve it and we will reconcile it in the end so that everybody’s vote is counted.” She added that in observing the hand counts, the republicans kept their own tallies to make sure they reconciled with the poll workers’ counts, but so far they had found the election officials see BALLOTS, pg. 4

The concert will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13 at Victoria Tabernacle Church, 11700 Genitor Road, Midlothian. Purchase tickets at either www.itickets. com or www.davidphelps.com. A graduate from Baylor University, Phelps is credited among today's most spectacular voices. His seemingly endless vocal range, which extends more than three octaves, coupled with his gift for communicating a song, has brought the house down in the world’s most prestigious venues. For more than 15 years, Phelps served as a member of the popular and prestigious Gaither Vocal Band and during that time received numerous Dove Awards, Grammy Awards, and had multiple platinum-selling recording projects. As a solo artist, he received 2009 Dove Award nominations for Male Vocalist of the Year and Long Form Video for the Christmas DVD, O Holy Night, to add to his many awards and honors. Phelps’ 2012 live concert DVD, David Phelps: Classic, debuted on Billboards’ Music Video Chart at #1 and, since its release, has received acclaim from throughout both gospel and secular music genres. The recording has been featured on numerous television networks, including the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). In 2015, Phelps released the recording, Freedom. The Freedom companion DVD also debuted at #1 on Billboards’ Music Video Chart. Most recently, in April
2017, The Best of David Phelps: from the Homecoming Series, peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Music Video Sales Chart, topping such popular video releases as The Beatles’ Eight Days A `Week and Eric Clapton’s Live in San Diego, as well as Adele’s Live At The Royal Albert Hall.

be a performer. At the age of 18, while earning his degree in vocal performance from Baylor University, Phelps began what would be a life-long passion of traveling around the world to share music, inspiration and good news. While studying music at Baylor, Phelps met Lori Purtle, who has been his wife and rock-solid partner in his career for more than two decades. The couple has four great kids – Callie, Maggie Beth, Grant and Coby – and the Phelps family resides on their farm outside Nashville, Tennessee.

sat in the Top 20. In 2017, he released his latest recording, Hymnal. Throughout the recording, Phelps lends his artistry to some of the most treasured hymns of the church. The recording showcases masterful vocals and lush arrangements as each song takes the listener on a journey of inspiration and worship in song. Growing up in a musical family, his natural gift for song was evident when he was very young. Even as he sang in church as a teenager, he knew that he wanted to

had carried themselves very professionally. “These folks know what they are doing. They are all very seasoned officers of elections so they know what they are doing,” Gannon said. Still, she said the party reached out to volunteers to ask them to come back in and observe the hand counts at the impacted precincts as a safety measure. Mike Asip, chair of the Powhatan Democratic Committee, agreed that there were many checks in place throughout the day and into the evening that ensured the ballots were being handled properly and every vote counted. “No one is happy when the voting process changes, but hand counting is what happened before we had machines. This is a process that is low tech but it is as reliable as the machine. The machine provides that efficiency,” Asip said. “But they came up with the right solution with Xerox copies and hand counted ballots versus not having any ballots. The solution was to fix the problem and make sure every vote counted.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

‘Vintage’ PHS cheerleaders cheer for unity
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Shown left, Dale Goodman (on the right), 2021 Powhatan Christmas Mother, joined the Powhatan High School cheer squad in performing a chant for Powhatan unity at the junior varsity football game on Oct. 28 in keeping with the 2021 Christmas Mother theme “The Unity of Christmas.” Goodman, a PHS alumna and former cheerleader, was joined by 2020 Powhatan Christmas Mother Joann Woodson, far left, and their former cheer coach, Carol Baltimore (Christmas Mother 2011) pantomimed coaching them from the sidelines during their chant. The group joked they were “vintage cheerleaders.” Shown above, are Woodson (far left) and Goodman (far right) when they were PHS cheerleaders.
Christmas Mother breaks down impact of donations Contributed Report Every year, Powhatan comes together to rally around the Powhatan Christmas Mother program’s mission to provide Christmas for those in need. In 2020, 63% of all donations were used for the direct purchase of Christmas gifts and grocery/gas gift cards. Each child is routinely given two to three new outfits, pajamas, socks, underwear, shoes, a winter hat, gloves and, if needed, a coat. Organizers also make sure that every child gets three or more new books; with a committee heavily populated by retired teachers, you know they value and promote literacy! Then comes the fun part, with the necessities met, volunteers shop from wish lists made by the parents to find the perfect toys to bring a joyful Christmas morning smile to each and every face. The program even has a special crew of elves that stuffs stockings for every child, 12 and under. In addition to children, the Powhatan Christmas Mother program serves the needs of Powhatan's elderly and disabled population. These wish lists vary greatly according to the needs of each individual, but the program routinely gifts sheets, blankets, bath and kitchen towels, cutlery, pots and pans, specific clothing requests, puzzles, card games, stationary and more. Sometimes these wish lists

include even the most basic of necessities like laundry soap and toilet paper. Other times, these adult lists give volunteers the opportunity to ease specific burdens with medical support devices like canes, diabetic shoes, shower benches, and other real needs that are often beyond affordability. The Christmas Every Day Committee also responds to individual emergencies as they arise in the community. In the last year, members have gifted a washing machine to a Powhatan neighbor whose chemotherapy treatments made it especially dangerous for them to try to venture into Midlothian for a laundromat. They helped cover funeral costs for the tragic loss of two of Powhatan’s youngest citizens; provided rental assistance to help transition a family on the verge of homelessness; provided money, clothing, and household goods to neighbors who lost everything in a house fire, and worked with the Coalition of Powhatan Churches to get a neighbor's car repaired so that he could gain employment. While all of these individual instances account for less than 1% of the program’s spending, each of them made a big impact in the lives of the people being helped. At the end of the Christmas season, when volunteers are assured that the program’s mission has been accomplished for Christmas, they pepper the commu-

money into the hands of clients to offset these issues. Later that year, as they prepared for the program’s Christmas mission, they had an additional initiative so that every family that applied received a box full of necessities, including toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, antibacterial cleanser, dish soap, laundry detergent, bath soap, tissue, disinfectant spray, and disposable masks. Although these two emergency relief programs made up 25% of the spending in 2020, none of that money was sourced from donations, as both programs were funded by the Cares Grant. The remaining 7% of donations is spent keeping the gears turning – the boring costs like postage and printing and phone bills and bank fees. None of them are exciting, but all of them are vital in their own way to making the Christmas Mother program run at maximum efficiency. Notably, this is a nonprofit staffed entirely by volunteers. There are 35 members on the Powhatan Christmas Every Day Committee, which itself has 15 sub-committees. Many of those sub-committees then work with volunteers from the community to bring about specific goals. Members love that the program is homegrown and community supported, and they are very proud of the fact that 93% of donations go directly back into the community to support our neighbors in all their needs.

nity with donations for the many needs being met by other organizations that they work in partnership with to keep Powhatan living well. The organization sponsors two $1,000 scholarships for high school seniors. It sponsors scholarships to 4-H camps and Special Olympics. The group contributes to initiatives in the community that provide emergency food, medical transportation, and relief from domestic abuse. It supports the Powhatan Free Clinic, which so many of the program’s clients rely on for medical care. It supports the library and the YMCA so that everyone has access to literacy, education and healthy living. These contributions vary from year to year, and in 2020 the program spent 30% of donations supporting its clients through these endeavors. Last year was an unusual one. Early in the pandemic, the Christmas Every Day Committee realized that Christmas Mother clients were likely to be burdened by the supply chain issues that kept the shelves nearly empty. Many clients are elderly, house-bound, and reliant on family and friends to get their groceries and help with errands. They wouldn't have the ability to drop in to the shops every few days to check for toilet paper and would probably struggle to afford the insane mark-up on cleaning products. Christmas Mother members launched a gift-card mailing to get more

Powhatan Food Pantry collects Thanksgiving meal donations Contributed Report The Powhatan Food Pantry is once again holding its Thanksgiving Complete Meal food drive. The drive, which will accept donations through Nov. 30, is meant to make sure every family has a nourishing meal for the holiday. The food pantry, located at 2500 Batterson Road, will be the point of collection and distribution. Items may be dropped off from 10 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The food pantry was open 13 days in September, and served 92 households consisting of 65 adults, 32 children, and 75 seniors for a total of 172 people. The food pantry has started buying turkeys for the Thanksgiving Complete Meal bags. It has 20 and needs 80 more turkeys. The project is totally dependent on the community. The food pantry serves about 350 people each month. The need is great. To ensure that every family gets the same identical meal packages, the food pantry asks that people include all of the items in double bags (for strength). Mark
each bag “Complete” so volunteers know that every item is in the bag. If people can only give a few items and are bringing a bag that is not complete, leave it unmarked. Donations of a $10 Food Lion gift card would also be appreciated. People are asked to add one to their bag, if possible. Clients will be able to purchase meat or other necessary items for their meal. Checks may be made out to: Coalition of Powhatan Churches and sent to the treasurer, Theresa Fields at 1520 Swiftwood Drive, Powhatan, VA 23139. To be marked complete, a bag must contain: one 40-ounce can of yams or sweet potatoes; one 13-ounce box of mashed potatoes; one 16-ounce can of cranberry sauce; two 15-ounce cans of corn; two 15-ounce cans of green vegetables; two 10-ounce cans of gravy; two 6-ounce packages of stuffing mix; one box of hot chocolate; one small box or jar of ice tea/bags, and one complete family dessert item.

FORUM Continued from pg. 1
held Nov. 4 at Independence Golf Course in Powhatan, and brought together representatives from around the region. In addition to RRTPO, representatives from PlanRVA and Central Virginia Transportation Authority (CVTA) were invited to share what the organizations have accomplished so far, current initiatives and what the future may hold. The nine localities that make up the region are Powhatan, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield, Charles City and New Kent counties, as well as the Town of Ashland and the City of Richmond. RRTPO chair and Powhatan supervisor David Williams said he hoped the forum would help spread the word about how these three organizations, which have many overlapping members, are excited about what is going on in transportation in the region and how they are working together to plan and fund transportation projects that previously weren’t possible. “Having the forum was well worthwhile because it is discussing where we need to go. This is not something that gets put up on the shelf; it is a dynamic process that is going on right now where we are evolving. From that standpoint it is still good to be discussing this. We are gaining a better understanding every meeting,” Williams said. He said the importance of acting like a region and how that benefits everyone involved was well articulated during one of the panels by Carlos Brown, senior vice president, general counsel and chief compliance officer for Dominion Energy and Richmond District representative for the Commonwealth Transportation Board. “It is a growing process. It doesn’t happen overnight. But (Brown) got into that,” Williams said, “and then he got into reiterating the need we had to create the authority to facilitate the regional benefit of acting and performing like a region and being able to attract the economic development, the things we want as a region, which is a benefit to everybody.” The forum also shined a spotlight on how the CVTA funds are benefiting the nine localities in Planning District 15, both for their individual goals and the regional projects that have a collaborative benefit, he said. Moving forward, having CVTA funds should give the region a competitive advantage when it is going up against other localities with more resources for funding such as SMART Scale. The monies in the Central Virginia Transportation Fund come from two tax levies – an additional 0.7% on sales and use taxes and 2.1% on the wholesale gas
tax. Each participating locality receives 50% of the funds collected within its borders to be used to fund local transportation projects. Another 35% will be disbursed by the 16-member CVTA governing board and the remaining 15% goes to the Greater Richmond Transit Company. One of three panel discussions held at the forum focused on the first project the CVTA governing board will focus on with its funding, the Fall Line Trail system, said Chet Parsons, director of transportation for PlanRVA. The Fall Line trail courses through seven localities – Ashland, Hanover, Henrico, Richmond, Chesterfield, Colonial Heights and Petersburg – and five of those are within the planning district. “It is an urban corridor. It is a rural corridor. It kind of hits all of those marks,” Parsons said. Named for its unique geography along the trail corridor, the Fall Line denotes the area where the Piedmont plateau and Atlantic Coastal Plain meet, resulting in a number of rapids and waterfalls. The Fall Line trail came together as an opportunity to “connect the dots” of active transportation networks taking shape in the greater Richmond region. Several sections of the trail already existed or were planned in localities’ comprehensive and special area plans. A natural corridor for a long-distance trail began to emerge that would provide opportunities for active transportation, recreation and economic development. Williams pointed out that since the trail only goes through five of the planning district’s nine localities, the remaining four, including Powhatan, will receive additional consideration for CVTA funding for projects they propose. “So that is a huge boon for Powhatan County,” he said. The forum was rounded out by looking to the future. The RRTPO finished the most recent update to its long-range transportation plan in October, Parsons said. Building on the adoption of that plan, the organizations want to think about a concept called scenario planning, which involves considering future influences that might impact decision making in the region. “When I say future influences, I am thinking about things like housing choices, density of development, where employers locate, environmental issues like sea level rise or other climate change, or land use,” Parsons said. “All of those things actually impact each other and scenario planning is a tool. It is a computer model and format to test how all those things could impact each other and then change the way decisions are made.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

High voter turnout should be just the start By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
T
alk about rocking the vote! Congratulations Powhatan County on a 71.43% voter turnout in the 2021 General
Election. When I started visiting polling precincts on Election Day 2021, the surprising turnout was the first thing every election official mentioned. They couldn’t exactly compare the turnout to what the county sees in an election year – the 2020 election was about 85% – but to so thoroughly blow the last gubernatorial election turnout out of the water (55% in 2017) was amazing. And that is exactly the attitude I witnessed among poll workers – one of positive delight at this exceptional show of enthusiasm for one of our greatest rights as citizens to choose the men and women who will lead us. Even the polling officials who knew they had an even longer day ahead of them than usual because of the need to hand count nonscannable ballots (see full story on
Page 3A) were still excited to see so many people wanting to make their voices heard. They may have had their own wishes about seeing what the actual results of the different races would be, but the men and women I spoke with made it clear that the greatest value of each vote was that it was cast in the first place. The attitudes I witnessed among voters represented a little more of a grab bag of emotions. In my observations and conversations on Nov. 2, I noted there were some people who were obviously bubbly and excited about voting, some who were stoic and focused, and some who were anxious and watchful. There was a combination of relief to have the actual process of voting done and recognition of the hours-long wait to learn the results of those very races. There was trust of the voting process, mistrust of it and some who seemed halfway in between. The sheer volume of voter turnout in this election shows how important it
was to so many people either wanting to see a change in direction in the state or hoping to keep it on its current course. Regardless of where you fell in that scenario, I have a small question for you: What comes next? While there is no denying that the results of this election will have farreaching impacts on Virginia in the next four years, the 103 people elected to a state office – governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and 100 delegates – and the many other men and women who won victories in local elections are not the “final answer” to all the problems or challenges we as Virginians are facing. Yes, they will have a major influence on how these problems and challenges are approached and dealt with; the whole point of elections is that they do have an impact on our nation, our state and our local communities. But while the extreme political polarization we have been experiencing for the last few years might be good for voter turnout, it is also extremely divisive and doesn’t generally make for
Short life produced a strong lasting message By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
It was a passing comment ignored by most listeners as a team of sports announcers prepped for the opening game of this year’s American League playoff series. “Ernie Johnson has the night off,” one mentioned. No one replied. That seemingly insignificant comment immediately grabbed my attention, and I felt a cold chill in my spine. I had no reason to believe that Johnson’s absence was somehow associated with his son, but something in my gut told me that it was. I’m sure most of you have never heard of Ernie Johnson, but for sports aficionados nationwide, Johnson is a gem of a play-byplay guy, known for his vast knowledge of basketball and baseball. He’s an award-winning announcer who has a style that appeals to almost everyone, a nonthreatening everyman’s approach to the games and players he covers. While I am not an NBA fan, and baseball appeals to me only at this time of year, I am an Ernie Johnson fan. A set of circumstances placed Johnson and I in similar situations, kindred spirits of a sort. Several years ago, I learned of Ernie’s dedication to his son Michael, a child with disabilities he and his wife adopted from Romania. The Johnsons have six chidden, two of their own and four adopted. Michael suffered from a number of medical issues, the most significant being Muscular Dystrophy, a rare and degenerative muscle disease that affects mostly young males. I followed the plight of Ernie and Michael as the disease progressed. It became more difficult to expose Michael to the things he loved like car shows, but Ernie persisted performing each tedious task with a smile. The amount of joy Ernie derived from just caring for his son was inspirational. The story became even more important when I learned of my son’s diagnosis, and I
immediately knew that Ernie and Michael’s story also belonged to my son Jack and I. I must admit seeing the immense responsibility that lay ahead for our family was somewhat frightening but also inspiring. In many ways Michael’s accomplishments became part of our journey, and Ernie’s dedication to his son became a personal inspiration for me. If a template could be provided for how to care for a child with MD, there was no better model than Ernie. Last month, Michael lost his battle with MD at age 33. That may seem young to most people, but to kids with Duchennes, it’s more than a lifetime. Ernie’s care and Michael’s tenacious spirit offered hope to all of us affected by this terrible and cruel disease, and his zest for life leaves a lasting legacy for a community that depends on inspiration and hope to meet the next challenge. That doesn’t lessen the sorrow and pain now being experienced by the Johnson family, and I know Ernie is hurting. It’s way too soon for them to celebrate or recognize the enormous contribution Michael made to the MD community. Michael’s refusal to give up and the love and support of Ernie and his family leaves a lasting impression on those who know all too well the challenges they endured. It’s a legacy that provides hope for a better future, one where kids will not suffer and die from a killer that has no conscience. On a more personal note, I’d like to acknowledge Ernie and Michael for what they have provided to Jack and my family. Their example taught us important lessons that allow us to carry on. They showed us how not wallowing in despair is a far more effective approach to these challenges and living with hope beats the heck out of living in fear. We all mourn the death of Michael Johnson and will never forget his contributions made in his limited time on earth. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ernie and the Johnson family as they grieve the loss of their son and sibling. And we’ll never forget a kid from Romania who packed in a lot of life in 33 years.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R What labels are ruling our lives Dear Editor, The greatest majority of Virginians and Americans everywhere are peaceful, law-abiding people who care about this country. Virginia is the cradle of democracy, but it has been under assault in recent years. Citizens want to be able to raise their children to be properly educated for their life ahead. They want a good job or an opportunity to start or carry on a business to feed, clothe and shelter their family. Freedom of speech and the right to worship as they so choose are essential. Safety is paramount and they want criminals to be where they belong – behind bars, not roaming the streets of our cities. Our constitutional rights must be preserved. Unfortunately, politicians have sought to divide us. Pitting one group of people against another is a tactic designed to win elections. They have used our children as pawns in this quest. Vast expan-

sion of social programs is draining our workforce of productive individuals. It is further condemning these people to generations of living off the fruits of the labor of others. All the while, people are frustrated and angry because they find it hard to break away from this system. The biggest dividing and everexpanding term is “people of color.” Politicians, aided by the media, want to convince these people that they are being abused by other groups and should vote for them as their saviors. What is wrong with labelling someone as a Virginian or an American, rather than by the color of their skin or some fictitious theory dreamed up by 1960s and 1970s radicals? That would tear a page out of the playbook of how to win elections. My fellow Virginians and Americans, let’s get tearing this page up into little shreds, appreciate people for who they are and what they have done to be productive members of society, not their physical appearance.

good governance. We can’t as a country or as a state keep adopting the attitude of “when our people are in charge everything will be better.” “We the People” have to stay involved between the elections and the campaigns at all levels of government regardless of who is in charge. Because the truth is, regardless of who is in charge, we all still live here and are impacted by how this country operates. We have to keep talking to our elected representatives and, more importantly, talking to each other. At one point in this election process, I literally had a conversation with someone who was worried about making clear their political allegiance for fear their house might get burned down. This is obviously an extreme view, but the fact that the thought even crossed this person’s mind is extremely troubling to me and not, I hope, what the people of this county really want their neighbors to be feeling, even if they have different viewpoints.

work. “To see people engaged is very positive. I always tell my friends, I don’t care who you vote for so long as you vote,” Palsa said. Larry Sickal, a District 1 voter, said he normally only votes in presidential elections, but he felt this election was really important. He said he didn’t like the way things have been going in Virginia under the current governor so he came out to vote to bring change. “I just think a lot of people are just kind of fed up with what is going on, and I think a lot of people, like me, who normally don’t vote in nonpresidential elections, are coming out to vote. I hope they are,” Sickal said. Sharon Kessel, who lives in District 2, said she does her best to vote in every election and wasn’t going to miss this one. For her, education was one of the most important issues in this election, especially the belief that parents should have a say in their child’s education. “We homeschooled our children, and I feel parents definitely have a say in what their children learn in school,” she said. Angel Nichols, a District 4 resident, said she has been voting since she was 18 and brought her young children, Isaiah, 6, and Rosalind, 2, to watch her cast her ballot. The significance of that tradition for her goes back to her grandfather telling Nichols about the importance of making her voice heard. “He encouraged us, it doesn’t matter if it goes our way or not, you’ve at least got to have a say. And I think it is very important for my kids,” Nichols said. “I just want to raise them like that to (know) this is a right, we live in a free country, and this is something that is a privilege. I want them to understand just exactly how important it is. I think just bringing them with you to see and just build that excitement up so they know to have their voice heard is very important.” Jerry Wade, who lives in District 2, said he is generally a republican voter. When he cast his vote a
little before 4 p.m. on Election Day, he was worried about the election, how the votes might turn out and if all of the numbers across the state would be counted fairly and accurately. “I hope my vote counts and everybody who voted for who they wanted to vote for. I hope it is an honest number and that their vote, again, counted,” he said. District 4 voter Nancy Mertel said she feels voting is an essential civic duty. She didn’t share her priorities when voting on Nov. 2, saying the contentious nature surrounding the election and the current dynamics of the country make her feel keeping her opinions to herself is safer. Social media, she said, has only fueled the vitriol flying back and forth. But she added that she did feel really good about casting her vote on Nov. 2, “because I really do feel my vote does count.” Election results Powhatan’s results in the state races were predictive of the overall winners, although the republican candidates received a much higher percentage in the county than in their final tallies. In the Powhatan County results for the race for governor, republican Glenn A. Youngkin received the most votes with 12,582 votes. Terry R. McAuliffe, democrat, received 3,721 votes and Princess L. Blanding, liberation party, received 58 votes. There were 10 write-in votes. Meanwhile in the state race, the results had Youngkin winning with a much narrower margin of about 50.69% to McAuliffe’s 48.53% and Blanding’s 0.7%, according to the Virginia Department of Elections website as of Sunday. In the race for lieutenant governor, republican Winsome E. Sears received the most local votes with 12,529 votes while democrat Hala S. Ayala received 3,779 votes. There were 15 write-in votes. Statewide, Sears won 50.82% of the vote over Ayala’s 49.06%. In the race for attorney general, Jason S. Miyares received the most votes with 12,556 votes over democrat incumbent Mark Herring’s 3,774 votes. There were 10 write-in votes. Miyares earned 50.47% of

the votes statewide, narrowly beating incumbent Herring, who received 49.44%. The race for House of Delegates 65th District was much more definitive, with republican R. Lee Ware. Jr. receiving the most Powhatan votes with 13,041 votes over democrat Caitlin A. Coakley’s 3,238 votes. There were 24 write-in votes. In the total 65th District results, Ware won with 66.01% of the vote over Coakley’s 33.84%. There were also two special elections. Rebecca C. “Becky” Nunnally ran unopposed for treasurer and received 14,929 votes. There were 232 write-in votes. In the race for the board of supervisors District 2 seat, Steven V. McClung won with 2,139 votes over Amy Kingery, who received 677 votes. There were 39 write-in votes. McClung, who was scheduled to be sworn in Monday and attend his first meeting today, said he felt people appreciated all the time and effort he put into his campaign. McClung said that after he is sworn in, he will focus on the current planning and budget documents in order to be informed about the ongoing and future projects and programs within the county and an indepth budget review to monitor for waste.

Powhatan headed to Region 4B playoffs By Nick Vandeloecht for Powhatan Today
POWHATAN — Amassing 398 yards of total offense on Senior Night, Powhatan rumbled to a 42-6 victory over Cosby to put the exclamation mark on the team’s winningest regular season (7-3) since 2016. “It’s just exciting to come out here with all these guys that you’ve been with for your whole life and just win a game together on Senior Night with everyone here, with your parents here, everything going on all week,” said Powhatan senior Fisher Hamersley, who caught two passes for 69 yards and carried the ball twice for 66 yards and a touchdown. “It’s just a really, really, really good feeling to come out here with your brothers and senior class and just win a game with them.” Powhatan is also back in the playoffs for the first time since 2018 – and for the first time under head coach Mike Henderson, who took the helm in 2019. “It feels great. It’s a big step forward for the program . . . going into the Dominion District, we knew the regular season was going to be tough,” Henderson said. “We’re in the dance now, and if we keep winning, we’ll keep playing.” Senior running back Mitchell Johnson carried the ball 15 times for 129 yards and three touchdowns. He delivered blistering TD rushes of 21 and 46 yards in the first half and a sweeping 19yard score in the second. Junior quarterback Dylan Trevillian completed 9 of 17 passes for 173 yards and a 23-yard touchdown strike that he aired out to senior Ethan Dowdy to put Powhatan on the scoreboard within the first three minutes of gametime. After he tackled Cosby’s ball carrier on fourth down to force a change of possession on Powhatan’s 47 yard-line in the second quarter, Hamersley took the handoff from Trevillian and shot along the right side. And then, “everything just kind of froze for a second,” he said; he appeared to bounce off a Cosby defender before he barreled to his left and

into open field. “I just saw a hole and went,” Hamersley said, “and then it just worked itself out.” Hamersley’s 53-yard touchdown romp helped Powhatan lead 27-0 over Cosby before the half.
The Titans answered with a 21-yard scoring strike while facing fourthand-6 midway through the third quarter, but their two-point try failed, and then Hamersley, scooping up Cosby’s kickoff and whisking it past the Ti-
tans’ defenders, delivered a fiery return that put his team on Cosby’s 19-yard line. “At first I thought I could get to (the ball), and then it ended up dropping more in front of me than I thought,” Hamersley said
of Cosby’s kickoff, “but I ended up picking it up, some guys came over, set some blocks, I was able to get around them.” Two plays later, Johnson swept into green space on the left side and into the end zone for his third
rushing score of the night. Dowdy in the fourth quarter capped a 35-yard drive -- sparked by teammate Wyatt Lowe’s interception on defense -when he took a direct snap, rolled to his right and crossed the goal line for the score from 6 yards out. On defense for Powhatan, Oscar Whitely caught an interception late in the second quarter, and Lowe picked off the quarterback to put his team on Cosby’s 35 late in the third. Lowe was in on a team-leading nine tackles and Whitely and senior Chase Gayness were each in on eight. Senior Andrew Cheatham and Jamison Britt each had six tackles, and senior Asher Timberlake was credited with five. Timberlake also joined seniors Zack Karanian and Tanner Palmore in sacking Cosby’s quarterback for a loss of 12 yards in the second quarter. With Friday night’s Senior Night – featuring a large and lively student section in attendance – Powhatan football was among the programs that celebrated their seniors. “One: I think that they did a great job keeping the focus on the game,” Henderson said of the team, “and two: just to be able to celebrate with this great group of guys is fantastic.” Friday’s win made it back-to-back games in which Powhatan scored 42 points – the first time was against rival Midlothian (42-7) the previous weekend – but Henderson felt that “last week’s 42 points were a lot cleaner than tonight’s 42 points.” He added that he was excited about his team’s big-play capability but also spoke to “understanding that we’ve got some things to clean up, get us a little sharper, a little bit crisper.” Powhatan will now try to do something that it last achieved in 2011: win in the playoffs. “We’ve got to go in with confidence next week,” Hamersley said. “We can’t lock up. We can’t get tight. We need to go in there and just stay loose and keep playing our game.” Nick Vandeloecht can be reached at sports@ mechlocal.com.

Knights earn bid for state championship By Nick Vandeloecht for Powhatan Today
Come this Saturday, the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights will do something that they haven’t done since 2013. They’ll compete for a state championship. BSH (9-1) will play Kenston Forest in the Virginia Colonial Conference’s 8-man league Division II state final at the Dinwiddie Sports Complex Saturday at 3 p.m. “It’s a lot of excitement going on right now,” said BSH head football coach Gary Brock. “It’s been one of those magical years. . . . We’ve played pretty good football most of the year and it’s just kind of a culmination of everything. We’ve gotten a lot of fans out there now. I think it’s going to be a great crowd coming over to the championship game and rooting us on.” This past Friday, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot followed up its regular season with an additional game against Division I team Greenbrier Christian prior to this coming Saturday’s Division II state final. BSH played its starters in the first half and its secondunit players in the second half, while Greenbrier rested some starters in the first half and all of its starters in the second. BSH won the game 56-0, scoring 43 points in the first half. “It was just a good way to get back on the positive side because we had lost that game to Kenston Forest the week before and wanted something positive going into this,” Brock said. “Both coaches were okay with the way we did it and both coaches

got a chance to see a lot of kids that may not have been able to get in the ball game.” Sophomore Hunter Case carried the ball 11 times for 126 yards and three touchdowns from 28, 10 and 23 yards out. Senior Josh Decker racked up 111 yards and two touchdowns from 16 and
14 yards out on eight carries and added a two-point conversion. Sophomore Will Fichter ran the ball 14 times for 100 yards and a 4-yard touchdown in the second quarter. He also kicked two extra points. Junior quarterback Afton Harrow delivered a 1-yard rushing touchdown
Weimer, Indian girls, boys finish seventh in Region 4B By Dave Lawrence Richmond Suburban News
MECHANICSVILLE — Powhatan freshman Ellen Weimer felt she could have done better at the Region 4B cross country championships at Pole Green Park on Nov. 3. It is acceptable to wonder why. Weimer’s disappointing finish was a mere allregion worthy performance—seventh overall—which also qualified her for the Virginia High School League Class 4 state championships at Great Meadow in The Plains Saturday. “I got to the finish and I was, like, I didn’t try hard enough,” Weimer said. “I was really disappointed in what I did.” Weimer just missed breaking 20 minutes on the at-times hilly course. She finished ahead of 76 other runners with a time of 20:13.5. Only six did better: region champion Alli Krytser of Hanover, who clocked in at 18:00.6; runner up Logan Nuckols of Patrick Henry (18:37.1), Eastern View’s Evelyn Anderson (19:31.6), Hanover’s Ellie Agustin (19:47.2) and Hannah Clarke (19:56.6), and Monacan’s Reagan

Powhatan’s Ellen Weimer qualified for the Virginia High School League Class 4 state cross country championships after finishing seventh in 20:13.5 in the Region 4B championships at Pole Green Park in Mechanicsvile on Nov. 3.
Canada (19:59.6). As Weimer finished seventh, so did both the Indian girls and boys teams. The Powhatan girls scored 191 points. Hanover was first with 30 points, followed by Atlee (73), Eastern View (86), Monacan (109), Patrick Henry (158) and King George (166). The top seven teams in the boys race were champions Atlee with 44 points, followed by Patrick Henry (53), Hanover (66), King George (122), Mechanicsville (141),
Courtland (151) and Powhatan (173). Powhatan’s top finisher in the boys championship race was Sean Seibel, who finished 18th in 17:24.4. Patrick Henry’s Trevor Mason won the race in 15:39.5. Weimer said she started falling off her pace late in her race. “I didn’t push hard enough the last mile,” she said. “But I pulled it together toward the end.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@ mechlocal.com.
and one two-point conversion. The Knights didn’t throw a single pass on Friday, picking up their 399 yards of total offense on the ground. “We wanted to work on our run game because, of course, that’s what got us here,” Brock said. Defensively, the Knights recovered three fumbles and made one interception, the latter courtesy of senior Julian Alcazar, who returned the pick 49 yards for a touchdown. In addition to scoring a two-point conversion on offense, senior Harrison Lee forced two fumbles and recovered one. Junior Nathan Roberts and senior Garrett Musselman each recovered a fumble. In the state final, BSH will get a rematch with Kenston Forest, the team that handed the Knights their only loss (26-16) this regular season. Brock said that the Kavaliers feature a lot of quickness and speed on both offense and defense. “They gave us a fit – they really did that night,” Brock said. “I don’t think we were well-prepared for
them as far as that went. Their quickness and determination . . . to shut down our run was a little bit more than we handled that night, and so we’re going to work on that. We’re going to spread it out a little bit probably more. Our trap game is a big part of our game, so we’ll have to work on that in various ways . . . but (the Kavaliers) are a good football team both offensively and defensively.” For his Knights, Brock added they’ve got to improve on wrapping up the ball carrier. “We can’t give them two or three broken tackles or extra chances through the backfield,” Brock said. As for the Knights’ linemen on both sides of the ball, Brock said they’re just going to have to work harder and get better at what they’re doing in those positions. “I think the kids realize that they can play with them,” Brock said. “We’ve just got to play our game, and just do a good job protecting the ball and also blocking.” In nine of its 10 games
played, BSH averaged 46.9 points and won six games by 50 points or more. Relentless defense has complemented an explosive offense led by dynamic athletes who have made a tremendous impact on both sides of the ball. Seniors Josh Decker (running back/linebacker), Zander Nadeau (utility player), Garrett Musselman (offensive and defensive lineman), Harrison Lee (running back/safety), Gage Smith (linebacker), Julian Alcazar (running back/defensive back), Ethan Bishop (offensive and defensive lineman) and Patrick Maynes (wide receiver/defensive back); juniors David Mann (tight end/defensive lineman), Nathan Barras (offensive and defensive lineman), Nathan Roberts (offensive and defensive lineman) and Jeb Hatfield (wide receiver/cornerback) and sophomores Afton Harrow (quarterback/cornerback), Hunter Case (running back) and Will Fichter (utility player) have all found a way to contribute to what’s been a memorable year. In addition to talent, both depth and conditioning have been crucial to the Knights’ incredibly successful season. “It’s been all the difference in the world,” Brock said. “That shortened COVID season, we got so much accomplished during the winter months . . . and the fact that we were able to take some of these other kids and give them playing time and to kind of nurture them along so that they understood the way that we were doing things . . . we built depth as we went along right there. We built experience and we built depth and that helps us out tremendously.” With this upcoming state title game, Brock is really excited for the players and for the school. “It’s been a long time since we’ve really had a whole lot to cheer about right there, and we want to climax it with a championship if we can and (it would) kind of be an uplifting thing after last year with COVID and everything else that went on,” Brock said. “The excitement is brewing and I’m just happy to be here. These kids have been a joy to coach...they’ve been a fun group, they really have.” Nick Vandeloecht can be reached at sports@ mechlocal.com.
RSN Wants You! 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.

JROTC competes in statewide meet Contributed Report The Powhatan High School JROTC program competed against other JROTC programs from across the state in the 2021 Orange Fall Raider Meet on Saturday, Oct. 9. The Raider Meet was held at Orange County High School. The meet consisted of a 5K team (3.1 mile) run, a Team Physical Fitness Challenge, Logistics Relay, Litter Carry Course, and the Rope Bridge event. PHS began with the 5K team run at 8:15 a.m. and finished their last event, the Rope Bridge, at 12:15 p.m. During four hours of physically and mentally challenging events, the PHS JROTC cadets never slowed down. The competition with the other schools was spirited and challenging considering this was the first time in almost two years that the program has been able to compete, in person, with other programs from across the state.

‘Vintage’ PHS cheerleaders cheer for unity

Shown left, Dale Goodman (on the right), 2021 Powhatan Christmas Mother, joined the Powhatan High School cheer squad in performing a chant for Powhatan unity at the junior varsity football game on Oct. 28 in keeping with the 2021 Christmas Mother theme “The Unity of Christmas.” Goodman, a PHS alumna and former cheerleader, was joined by 2020 Powhatan Christmas Mother Joann Woodson, far left, and their former cheer coach, Carol Baltimore (Christmas Mother 2011) pantomimed coaching them from the sidelines during their chant. The group joked they were “vintage cheerleaders.” Shown above, are Woodson (far left) and Goodman (far right) when they were PHS cheerleaders.
Christmas Mother breaks down impact of donations Contributed Report Every year, Powhatan comes together to rally around the Powhatan Christmas Mother program’s mission to provide Christmas for those in need. In 2020, 63% of all donations were used for the direct purchase of Christmas gifts and grocery/gas gift cards. Each child is routinely given two to three new outfits, pajamas, socks, underwear, shoes, a winter hat, gloves and, if needed, a coat. Organizers also make sure that every child gets three or more new books; with a committee heavily populated by retired teachers, you know they value and promote literacy! Then comes the fun part, with the necessities met, volunteers shop from wish lists made by the parents to find the perfect toys to bring a joyful Christmas morning smile to each and every face. The program even has a special crew of elves that stuffs stockings for every child, 12 and under. In addition to children, the Powhatan Christmas Mother program serves the needs of Powhatan's elderly and disabled population. These wish lists vary greatly according to the needs of each individual, but the program routinely gifts sheets, blankets, bath and kitchen towels, cutlery, pots and pans, specific clothing requests, puzzles, card games, stationary and more. Sometimes these wish lists

include even the most basic of necessities like laundry soap and toilet paper. Other times, these adult lists give volunteers the opportunity to ease specific burdens with medical support devices like canes, diabetic shoes, shower benches, and other real needs that are often beyond affordability. The Christmas Every Day Committee also responds to individual emergencies as they arise in the community. In the last year, members have gifted a washing machine to a Powhatan neighbor whose chemotherapy treatments made it especially dangerous for them to try to venture into Midlothian for a laundromat. They helped cover funeral costs for the tragic loss of two of Powhatan’s youngest citizens; provided rental assistance to help transition a family on the verge of homelessness; provided money, clothing, and household goods to neighbors who lost everything in a house fire, and worked with the Coalition of Powhatan Churches to get a neighbor's car repaired so that he could gain employment. While all of these individual instances account for less than 1% of the program’s spending, each of them made a big impact in the lives of the people being helped. At the end of the Christmas season, when volunteers are assured that the program’s mission has been accomplished for Christmas, they pepper the commu-

money into the hands of clients to offset these issues. Later that year, as they prepared for the program’s Christmas mission, they had an additional initiative so that every family that applied received a box full of necessities, including toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, antibacterial cleanser, dish soap, laundry detergent, bath soap, tissue, disinfectant spray, and disposable masks. Although these two emergency relief programs made up 25% of the spending in 2020, none of that money was sourced from donations, as both programs were funded by the Cares Grant. The remaining 7% of donations is spent keeping the gears turning – the boring costs like postage and printing and phone bills and bank fees. None of them are exciting, but all of them are vital in their own way to making the Christmas Mother program run at maximum efficiency. Notably, this is a nonprofit staffed entirely by volunteers. There are 35 members on the Powhatan Christmas Every Day Committee, which itself has 15 sub-committees. Many of those sub-committees then work with volunteers from the community to bring about specific goals. Members love that the program is homegrown and community supported, and they are very proud of the fact that 93% of donations go directly back into the community to support our neighbors in all their needs.

nity with donations for the many needs being met by other organizations that they work in partnership with to keep Powhatan living well. The organization sponsors two $1,000 scholarships for high school seniors. It sponsors scholarships to 4-H camps and Special Olympics. The group contributes to initiatives in the community that provide emergency food, medical transportation, and relief from domestic abuse. It supports the Powhatan Free Clinic, which so many of the program’s clients rely on for medical care. It supports the library and the YMCA so that everyone has access to literacy, education and healthy living. These contributions vary from year to year, and in 2020 the program spent 30% of donations supporting its clients through these endeavors. Last year was an unusual one. Early in the pandemic, the Christmas Every Day Committee realized that Christmas Mother clients were likely to be burdened by the supply chain issues that kept the shelves nearly empty. Many clients are elderly, house-bound, and reliant on family and friends to get their groceries and help with errands. They wouldn't have the ability to drop in to the shops every few days to check for toilet paper and would probably struggle to afford the insane mark-up on cleaning products. Christmas Mother members launched a gift-card mailing to get more
