Bylery, Carmack tapped to lead board in 2022 3-2 split shows tension among supervisors By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors was split last week when it chose Mike Byerly to serve as board chair in 2022. Byerly, who represents District 3, was elected in a 3-2 vote at the board’s organizational meeting on Monday,
Jan. 10. Outgoing chairwoman Karin Carmack, District 5, and Steve McClung, District 2, joined Byerly in electing him to the position. David Williams, District 1, and Bill Cox, District 4, voted against. The same 3-2 split saw Carmack elected as vice chair of the board. The underlying division present in these two votes would be evident in a tension that was threaded throughout the meeting during the agenda items that dealt with the board and its actions, starting with board appointments and continuing with a contentious adoption of their standards of

Byerly, who is entering his third year on the board and was vice chair in 2021, said it felt good to be elected chair even as he realizes there will be challenges. However, although there will be disagreements between board members, they have to find ways to still work together to serve the citizens. “Can we do better? Yeah, we can do better – together.” Looking to the year ahead, Byerly said he hopes the budsee SUPERVISORS, pg. 5

POWHATAN – Recycling done
through the Powhatan Convenience Center saw a 26.8% increase in 2021, with an additional 295 tons of materials more than the previous year sent to be processed instead of ending up in a landfill. In 2021, Powhatan County collected 6,807 tons of refuse and 1,394 tons of recyclables materials using the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority (CVWMA), said Johnny Melis, utilities manager for the county. He pointed out that this does not account for all possible recycling done in Powhatan through other sources. In the last few years, the county’s recycling numbers in terms of its total collections hovered between 13.5% and 14.5%. Melis
said seeing the county reach an almost 17% recycling rate last year is a positive change courtesy of Powhatan citizens. “Although recycling is more expensive for the county, it extends the life of adjacent landfills, which ensures continued service for the county. The recycling efforts of the citizens of Powhatan are an important part of ensuring the region meets recycling goals,” he said. In early 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the county restricted the items it was accepting at the convenience center to bagged household waste to limit the interaction and potential exposure of both staff and citizens, Melis said. The county was not accepting “free see RECYCLING, pg. 4

POWHATAN – Kim Hymel was elected chair of the Powhatan County School Board for the second time at the regular meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 11. Hymel, who represents District 5, was approved in a 3-2 vote taken at the board’s first meeting in 2022. Hymel previously served as chair in 2021 and vice chair in 2020. Hymel was supported by Susan Smith, District 2, and interim member Dr. James Taylor, District 4. Rick Cole, District 1, and Valarie Ayers, District 3, voted against. Smith was elected in a 4-0-1 vote to serve as vice chair this year, with Cole choosing to abstain. This is Smith’s first time serving in a leadership role on the board. The school board reorganizes every January for the upcoming year. Hymel said she feels honored and thankful to have been elected to serve another year.
She said that having other board members support her with their votes shows they feel “good about the progress that we’ve made this past year in many areas.” Looking ahead to 2022, she said the areas she believes will be a big focus for the school board include improving transparency, a search for a new superintendent and helping make up any student learning loss caused by the pandemic. “We’ve already begun the process of addressing student learning loss and the many issues due to the pandemic. We expect continued progress in the coming year,” she said. “The pandemic has been difficult for our students. It’s important we continue to be supportive to our students and parents.” Smith said it was “scary but good” to be elected by her fellow board members to be vice chair. She knows the board has many challenges and changes see SCHOOL BOARD, pg. 6

ANNE REYNOLDS REYNOLDS, Mrs. Anne Geisinger, spent her life as a joyful servant, taking great delight in deeds that "earned feathers for her angel wings." On Monday, January 3, 2022, she received her wings in her home surrounded by loved ones. Those who knew Anne can share countless occasions of generosity, compassion and service; although, she staunchly avoided the spotlight and actively avoided credit - giving all the glory to God. It was often said that she "had the faith of 10
preachers." Anne had a selfless spirit and derived great joy from service to her community, never turning down an opportunity to help. She embodied the spirit of Matthew 25:40 and could be heard regularly saying, "Whatever you do for the least of men, you do REYNOLDS for me." Her fierce devotion to servitude inspired many over the years and created a legacy in her community. Anne possessed a deep sense of patriotism and was enormously proud of her flag and her country. Her gratitude for the military, police, fire and rescue was unparalleled. She proudly served at the Powhatan County Sheriff's Department for 30 years until her retirement in August of 2021. During her tenure, she served in an official capacity as Crime Analyst and an unofficial capacity as Department Mom. Nothing gave Anne greater joy than feeding her family. She held a weekly Sunday dinner for decades - feeding family, friends and friends of friends. Even when the budget was tight, no one was ever turned away and everyone walked away full - truly embodying Jesus' example of feeding the masses from loaves and fishes. She is survived by her devoted husband and love of her life, Dabney Reynolds; her sister, Cricket White; her daughter, Traci Catogni Whitley; her sons, Donnie Catogni and Josh Catogni; and her stepchildren, Melissa Gregory and Courtney Reynolds; and by her many, many unofficial adoptees who considered her Mom. A small private service will be held immediately, with a public Celebration of Life to follow in the spring. In lieu of flowers, her family respectfully requests that donations be sent to her two favorite charities: the Ronald McDonald House and the USO.

Club completes service project for women’s shelter Contributed Report Despite living through a pandemic, local youth found a way to do good for others while learning some important life skills. Members of a Powhatan County 4-H club, Horses R Us, completed a service project for a battered women’s shelter in Amelia in 2021. The youth had planned to start the project in 2020, but COVID-19 put a screeching stop to any hopes they had to move forward on their project goals. However, once the 4-H club was given the thumbs up to start meeting in person again in fall 2020, they put their plans full speed ahead. As businesses started opening back up, the club members were able to begin collecting donations to get the firepit started. According to Alyssa Sikes, a senior member of the 4-H club, “We toured the facility and the owners gave us three options” based on the shelter’s needs. She explained that they discussed the various projects as a club, then ultimately decided to focus on constructing an outdoor firepit as their service project. Along with the firepit, they also ended up adding five single-log seats and

two benches around the pit. Alyssa said there was a big reason they determined the firepit was the best option. “We wanted to give them a peaceful place,” she said. “A spot to relax and decompress.” Ronnie Ross, a volunteer with the 4-H club, is a supervisor for an area general contractor. He took the lead in teaching the club members skills they could do safely themselves. One club member,
Robert Reamy, said he learned how to level ground when they were prepping the site. Another 4-H member Camden Painter already had some building skills in his tool box, but admitted to gaining skills in patience when working with others. Even the adults discovered a few new skills. Club co-leader Jessica Reamy explained that she learned how to strip logs with a chisel for the seat-
ing. They all gained knowledge from a local mason on how to lay stone and level brick for the fire pit. Robert helped co-club leader, Marie Sikes, level and place the bricks for the entire fire pit. The finished project was estimated at a value of $1,500. Marie Sikes explained that in an effort to keep the shelter’s residents safe, the inner ring of the fire pit was made of steel and built up higher so younger

The biggest difference this year is that AARP Tax-Aide is not offering same-day tax preparation services. Instead, volunteers will offer drop-off services, which will require two separate short appointments to complete a client’s tax return. The taxpayer will make one appointment with Tax-Aide to complete all the required paperwork and leave all tax documents with them. Once the preparers have all the information they need, the taxpayer will have a quick interview with a tax coun-
selor and be given a second appointment at a later date to return to pick up and sign their completed tax return. Be assured that clients’ tax documents will be secured the entire time they are in Tax-Aide’s possession between the first and second appointment. Tax-Aide will be open for appointments on Tuesday, Feb. 1 and then every Wednesday and Friday as usual. People will still be able to schedule their first appointment online on the library website beginning mid-January. In order to better manage the appointments, Tax-Aide will only be posting a few appointment days at a time. Additional appointment times will be added as earlier times are filled. Clients should make an appointment only once they have
can create an online account on the IRS website at www.irs.gov to access that information. TaxAide volunteers are not able to complete a tax return without this information. VERY IMPORTANT – Clients should also know the amount of any advance child tax credit payments they may have received in 2021 (starting in July). If possible, bring copies of tax documents rather than originals – Tax-Aide will accept original documents but encourages people to leave copies with them instead. Clients should remove all tax documents from their envelopes before coming to their appointment to save time and confusion. While things will look a little different this year, Tax-Aide volunteers are excited to welcome clients back and ask for their patience as they work through the new processes.
received all their tax documents. Tax-Aide can also prepare tax returns for multiple years. If someone was not able to get their tax return done for 2019 or 2020 due to Tax-Aide’s early closure, volunteers can complete those returns in addition to the current year. When clients come to their appointment, they are asked to bring the following items: Prior year tax return. Social Security cards for everyone on the tax return and driver’s license or photo ID’s to confirm their identity. All their tax documents. Copy of a voided check for direct deposit of a tax refund/ VERY IMPORTANT – Know the amount of stimulus payments received during 2021 (and 2020 if volunteers will be preparing clients’ 2020 tax return). Clients can find this amount from their bank statements or they

loads”/construction debris. Even with that change, 2020 saw 1,099 tons of recyclables collected, which was an 11-ton increase over the year before, according to public works data. Mixed paper (cardboard, newspapers, paper packaging, etc.) has historically been the largest commodity that is recycled in Powhatan, he added. The increases may be attributed to a growing county, but the “Amazon” factor of home delivery of individually packaged items probably played a larger role to the increases that are being seen industrywide, Melis said. “When you place an order from Amazon and the items may come individually boxed, this increases the amount of packaging material versus going to the store and picking up that same item at a store,” he said. “More people are also working from home, and where previ-
Ride Assist seeks operating grant Contributed Report Ride Assist Services (RAS) provides volunteer transportation to and from medical and dental appointments and community locations to ambulatory seniors and seniors with developmental and other disabilities (age 60 and above) who live in Powhatan County. RAS is requesting funds from the Commonwealth of Virginia to cover various operating expenses ($25,000) through the FTA Section 5310 program to continue this transportation service. Transportation will be provided regularly between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. RAS invites interested public and private transit and paratransit operators in Powhatan to comment on the proposed operating grant by sending written notice by Feb. 1, 2022, to: Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation – Public Transportation Division, 600 E. Main Street, Suite 2102, Richmond VA 23219 and to Ride Assist Services, 3908-2 Old Buckingham Road, Powhatan, VA 23139.
Library offers an adventure Powhatan County Public Library is inviting young adventurers to come take part in a new quest throughout the month of January. Save the Fairy Riddle Adventure is a new program that will run through Jan. 31 and offer young readers the chance to have fun in the library stacks. The program is free and open to anyone. Visit the library’s front desk, where they will receive information about the adventure ahead. The answers to riddles found around the library will provide the spell the adventurers need to release a missing fairy. No preregistration required.
ously they may have been generating trash/recycling at the workplace they are now generating that trash/ recycling at home.” In order to compensate for the increased demand, staff has had to increase the number of pulls, or the number of times the recycling bins are emptied, by CVWMA’s contractor TFC Recycling, Melis said. The most notable change the county is making is building a second convenience center in the eastern part of the county to help alleviate the strain that is placed on the existing convenience center, which was built in 1986, when the county’s population was approximately 13,400. The cost per ton to recycle is higher than the cost per ton to send materials to the landfill, but Powhatan has been steadily increasing the recycling budget to account for the increases, Melis said. One of the goals established back in fiscal year (FY) 2020 was to “increase recycling rates/per capita/year and in-
crease service level (serve more customers/ year).” “The increases we have seen meet our goal of continued improvement, and the new convenience center on the east end of the county, will help us serve more customers efficiently,” he said. The county itself does not promote recycling but the Powhatan Anti-Litter Council and the CVWMA do help spread reminders, Melis said. “That is one of the perks of being a part of CVWMA is that they have staff in both public relations and education that assist us. Their education and outreach personnel have attended our events here in Powhatan and visit both the public and private schools to also educate the youth in the importance of recycling,” he said. CVWMA’s website also has recycling information specific to each of its member localities to help the public.

get process will be simpler in 2022 after the hard work the board, county administrator Ned Smither and staff put into building a 10year budget last year. With an update to the county’s Long-Range Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2021, Byerly said he hopes that will free up the board’s time more to focus on economic development, especially along the Route 60 Corridor. Powhatan needs to find a way to help people who want to come in and do business in the county, he said. “Hopefully, we can move forward and get some things done. We will have good opportunities, I think, if we can find a way to say yes and eliminate some of the negativity and work together,” he said. Carmack said she is excited to serve as vice chair in 2022 and is looking forward to working together with the other board members for the betterment of Powhatan County. “We will definitely have some challenges. Trying to bring unity to the board is a concern and focus,” she said. Working on the upcoming budget process alongside the school board is a big task ahead of the supervisors in the coming months. “I would like to focus on more opportunities for our citizens - in particular our seniors through our parks and rec department,” Carmack said. “Additionally, I would like for the board to keep looking for ways to expand our business base along Route 60 to help reduce our tax rate even further.” Tense appointments While the board of

supervisors wasn’t at odds on every issue they discussed at the Jan. 10 meeting, the tension between members was evident in several topics pertaining specifically to board business. Not too long into the meeting, the board began discussing the appointments to boards, commissions and committees, most of which they voted on as a board. When it came to the Central Virginia Transportation Authority (CVTA), instead of taking nominations, Byerly said that Williams had done it before but he would take it now. Williams, who is a strong proponent of Powhatan’s participation in the different organizations focused on regional transportation needs, talked about the county’s presence in the CVTA, the relationships he has formed while serving on the authority and the changes he helped bring about that were favorable to Powhatan. However, he also said he had told other authority members recently that he “strongly suspected” he would not be reappointed, alluding to the happenings of the Dec. 20 meeting and his stance as the only supervisor who voted against censuring Cox. “This is no longer about what is best for Powhatan; it is about individuals. And as I said at the last meeting, when that happens, that is when the wheels always go off the wagon,” he said. The scene involving the CVTA had some sense of déjà vu. During the January 2016 organizational meeting with four entirely different board members, Williams was blindsided when he was not re-appointed to the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission (RRP-

DC) and the Richmond Area Transportation Planning Organization (TPO). At the time, he was chair of the RRPDC and had six months left on his term in that role. The board appointed representatives to the PlanRVA Commission, Audit Committee, Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee (AFDAC), all of which were positions Cox held until the positions were stripped away as part of the censure. He was also the CVTA board alternate, a position that was not filled. Williams said repeatedly that he would not vote on the appointments that Cox formerly held, saying it would be inconsistent with his vote against his fellow supervisor’s censure and removal from committees. McClung agreed to take on the PlanRVA and Audit Committee roles and Carmack was appointed to the AFDAC, both with three votes in support. Williams didn’t vote on these appointments and Cox either voted against or remained silent on them. Standards of conduct If the committee appointments were a warning shot about the tensions between the board members, the discussion surrounding the adoption of a board standards of conduct was the battle
employee without notifying the county administrator (via email, text, or voice mail) of the intended contact and intent of the conversation.” Cox and Williams both adamantly said they would not follow this standard, which they saw as an impediment to getting the information they need to do their jobs. Cox flat out said he would not follow it and challenged the board to “start censuring” if they didn’t like it. “It ain’t going to happen. I am going to talk to whoever I want to talk to when I want to talk to them. It is just that simple,” he said. He also referred to himself as “scott free,” arguing that since the board had already censured him and stripped him of his committees, “there is nothing else you can do to me.” “What are you going to do, kick me off of

boards I am no longer on,” he challenged. Williams said he was headed for his own censure because he had no intention of following the last standard and was willing to head to court if the other supervisors tried to keep him from doing his job. Carmack argued that informing Smither of requests didn’t stop supervisors from contacting staff; it would “improve the flow of communication and improve transparency so Mr. Smither knows what is going on as well as any staff member so they don’t get mixed messaging.” “There is no intent of stifling communication with staff, not at all,” she said. She also argued that the county is short staffed and they have a finite amount of time. The county administrator can help prioritize requests on their time. Carmack pointed out that the board as a whole only officially has power when they are in session together, which sparked a long debate about the authority they carry as individual members outside of meetings and workshops. McClung praised Smither for the help he has provided since the former was elected in November 2021. He said the board has plenty of see SUPERVISORS, pg. 6

that followed. The board debated the standards for more than 30 minutes before the document was ultimately passed in a 3-2 vote, with McClung, Byerly and Carmack supporting it and Williams and Cox against. Byerly introduced the 14-point document that recognized that board members are under constant observation and have to be held to a high standard. The standards ranged from simple reminders to be tolerant, respectful and concise to behaviors to avoid, such as casting doubt on the integrity of county government or using abusive, threatening or intimidating language toward colleagues, citizens or personnel. But the one point that caused a veritable standoff was the last one on the list, which said that “no supervisor shall directly contact a county

options to give Smither a heads up that they are contacting staff. Byerly said the document was being misinterpreted and the final standard does not limit supervisors from talking to staff. He said Smither is tasked with running the county on a day-to-day basis so he should know what requests are being made to staff members. “The idea is to help us all, including the county administrator, understand what is going on and be more productive. I think it does create more transparency,” Byerly said. Other business

CVTA funds – The board briefly discussed CVTA funds, which has brought in $2.36 million in additional revenues for transportation projects as part of the county’s regular portion of a regional gas tax. The county also learned in 2021 that it would receive $2.6 million in CVTA funds to be used for the westbound turn lane on Anderson Highway turning onto Stavemill Road. In the final nine months, the county estimates it will receive an additional $1.57 million in funds. This would bring its total available funds for fiscal year (FY) 2022 to $6.55 million, Smither shared. Having these funds coming into the county creates many more opportunities for Powhatan to address local projects. Smither advocated for creating a transportation plan that prioritizes the transportation projects members want to address and how the funds will be used, whether as pay-as-you-go or to leverage projects in grant applications. Smither suggested that the board discuss a transportation plan at a workshop in February. The board had a discussion about

served on video exiting the rear of that building alone. Shortly after leaving she turned off her phone and she has not been using any social media services since that time,” he said. The sheriff’s office has been investigating the case daily and following up on leads across the state, Nunnally said. He decided to hold a press conference because she has been gone for two months and the sheriff’s office wants a broader awareness since they do not know where she is. “This is an unusual length of time here in our county for a teenager to go missing, so we are here today to just bring awareness to the fact that she is gone,” Nunnally said, hoping someone may have seen something or heard something about Joni. She is a 5’ 1” tall white female who weighs approximately 105 pounds. She may have purple and

One male was charged on Jan. 9 with assault and battery of a family member (M). a request to have the planning commission make a recommendation regarding access management standards. The planning commission had already taken the topic up at its December 2021 meeting. Staff asked if the board wanted to give the commissioners direction. Powhatan has access management standards that are stricter than those of the Virginia Department of Transportation. Part of this discussion was about whether the board wants to revise its standards to be in line with VDOT’s standards. The board discussed how many of the parcels along Anderson Highway are not large enough to meet access management standards if owners wanted to develop them. Cox pointed out that the county needs to focus on helping some of those property owners come to the realization that it would likely take a partnership with neighboring property owners to have a large enough parcel to develop. Carmack made a motion to ask the planning commission to remove the Powhatan-specific access management and default to the VDOT standards. The motion passed in a 3-1 vote with McClung, Byerly and Carmack supporting it. Williams voted against it and Cox did not vote. Public comments – Several residents spoke on a variety of issues at the beginning and end of the meeting. Topics included: praising the work of volunteer firefighters and EMTs during the Jan. 3 winter storm; improving the minute taking process at meetings to provide greater transparency to the public and help avoid disputes about what happened at meetings; citizen anger and disappointment about the censuring of Cox, and a homeowner living next door to a property with cages of hounds criticizing his deteriorated quality of life and lack of options to do something about it.
parents,” she said. Smith also mentioned the issue of masks ahead. Even if policies ease about masks, the school division needs to work hard to make students feel comfortable and safe, whether they want to wear one or not. With budget season upon them, the school board has the challenge of meeting the essential needs of the division and also trying to fill some of the “wants,” she added. “I am just happy to be a part of this board and work for the students and the parents of Powhatan County,” she said.
black hair. Joni is in need of medication and may be being assisted by unknown persons. She has left home before, but never for this long. “At this point after being gone for two months, we have no specific information that would point us to her being in danger, but she is a 16-year-old female who has not been home in two months, and that’s been dangerous enough on its own,” Nunnally said. Joni has a freckle on her right cheek and three freckles on her chest. Joni has used different hair colors, sometimes wears a nose ring and has used different names in the past. He said she has had ties in Powhatan, Amelia, Brunswick, Lunenburg, Blackstone and Petersburg. Kelli Bradley said she wants to continue to shine a light on the fact that her daughter is missing and ask for the community’s help in finding her. “I need help and I need my community’s help. It

Bradley sent a personal plea to Joni: “If you are OK, please come home. Please let me know that you are OK.” Bradley added that she worries mask wearing is hindering being able to find the teenager, so she asked people to pay close attention to the eyes. She said that Joni has had medical struggles in the past few years but they seemed to be making progress recently. “I wasn’t ready for this. I had her favorite chicken in the Crock Pot that day, so this was very – I don’t understand,” she said, faltering.

Scamming a scammer and laughing all the way By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
Editor’s note: Readers who have been with us for a while may recognize this column. It previously ran in the Nov. 29, 2017, edition of the Powhatan Today. I decided to run it again this week because the main subject of the story, my friend Anne Reynolds, who was also the retired Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office crime analyst, passed away on Jan. 3, 2022. I was trying to think of a fitting way to pay tribute to her. Rather than flowery language, I decided instead to let Anne’s own personality and her desire to protect the community – the reason she agreed to let me share this story in the first place – shine through in her words.
R
rrrring. “Hello?” “Grandma, it’s me, your grandson. I’m in trouble and I need your help. I’ve been arrested and you have to send money to get me out.” Let’s hit the pause button right there. This is a scam. Law enforcement calls it the grandparents’ scam. Someone calls up pretending to be a grandchild out of state and in trouble. They desperately need you to rush to a store and buy gift cards to bail them out. I repeat: This is a scam! Some people would recognize this right away and just hang up the phone or share a few choice words with the scammer. That’s a good thing and definitely what the sheriff’s office encourages you to do. But then there are people like Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office’s crime analyst Anne Reynolds, who is simultaneously tough as nails, soft as pudding, and has a wicked sense of humor. So when she was home with her husband and visiting best friend one night recently and received one of those calls, she knew from the first word, Grandma, that it was a scam be-
cause that isn’t what her grandson calls her. But, like I said, she has a wicked sense of humor and decided to have some fun. What follows isn’t an exact transcript but the general gist of the night – which stretched over four hours and included eight or nine calls and a few piña coladas – but which Anne described as “the best time I’ve had in a long damn time.” Back to the call. It’s about 4:30 p.m. The man on the phone claiming to be her grandson says he has been in an accident and hurt his nose, which is why he sounds funny. She needs to send $1,500 to bail him out or he will be sent to jail. Anne readily agrees to help. Her “grandson” puts the “public defender” on the phone and he starts to give her instructions. Anne says she has to wait and talk to her husband because that’s a lot of money. He agrees and says he will call back in an hour. About an hour later, the man calls back and says the judge needs to know if she is going to help her grandson. The judge is losing patience. Anne assures him she just needs a little more time to get the money together. How long will that take? She needs another hour. The public defender calls back. The judge is still waiting. Anne says she’s still working on it. By this time, it’s approaching 7:30 p.m. How much time do you need? Sigh. Audible impatience. Thirty minutes later and another call later, Anne explains the best she can do is $1,100. The public defender offers to see if the judge will accept that. Surprise, surprise, the public defender calls back. The judge will accept $1,100. What a nice judge. Anne is told to go to Walmart and purchase 11 $100 gift certificates. He will call her back and she can read the numbers on the gift cards to him. Anne agrees. What a good grandma.
After the time she said she would need to get there and back has passed, the public defender calls for the final time. She needs to read him the numbers on the gift cards. Anne tells him she can’t do that because she works for a law enforcement agency and knows for a fact he doesn’t have her grandson. “I felt like even though he took my time, it took time away from him scamming someone else,” Anne said. Plus, it was fun. “I had a guest and we laughed all night.” Anne’s story was hilarious and makes you want to give a little victory arm pump that she successfully wasted so much of that scammer’s time. The problem is, not everyone is as in the know as Anne, and, while the public is regularly reminded about this scam, it still works sometimes. It worked only two weeks ago (in 2017) on a Powhatan County resident who lost a great deal of money. So here it is again. Law enforcement, court systems, the IRS and any other legitimate government agency will NOT call you and tell you to pay bonds, back taxes, fines or fees using gift card numbers over the phone, wiring money through Western Union or other similar methods. NEVER. So if you get one of those calls, unless you want to have a little fun like Anne, just hang up. If you are truly in doubt, hang up and call your grandchild to check on their welfare or do a little research to find out the official number of the agency that supposedly called you and call and check. And, grandchildren, don’t forget to check in with your grandparents once in a while to see how they are and let them know you are OK. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Crawling in the dark, asking hard questions Dear Editor, While crawling on my belly like a reptile under our house in Powhatan to fix a damaged length of HVAC flexduct with only an LED flashlight to pierce the darkness, I started mulling over ten more of the most perplexing questions wondered about by Powhatanians (and everybody else) as I worked. In no particular order, here goes. 1. Is the Baptist pastor right when he asks, “Can you have a heaven without having a hell?” 2. Why are some of Vanna White’s dresses drop dead gorgeous and some of them are drop dead ugly, with UGLY in all caps? As a side note, Pat Sajak needs to find another wardrobe outfitter in picking out his jackets. Even some gaudy rhinestones on them would be a welcomed change. 3. Why do so many advertising agencies insist on hiring long legged actresses who could eat apples through a picket fence to star in their commercials? 4. What is that stuff that manages to get in-between your toes under your toenails despite having your shoes and socks on? And is it toe-jam or toe-jamb? And does anyone care? 5. Why are those miniature tumble-

weeds under our beds called ‘dust bunnies’ and ‘grandma’s hair?’ 6. Will a candle made out of ear wax actually burn? 7. In a turn lane, how come some drivers sit through the entire red light and then decide to flick on their turn signals when the light turns green? Do they think this is necessary to make the car turn? 8. Which weighs more, a pound of molten lead or a pound of chicken feathers? 9. Is a movie with spectacular special effects but a weak plot more satisfying than a movie with a great plot and minimum special effects? Which makes more money at the box office? 10. So, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? So many questions, so little time. Joe Ondishko Powhatan County

for All” - a theme that can be used by all the citizens of Powhatan. She shared her thoughts on meeting her goals for this year’s Christmas mother organization. Here’s what she had to say: Blessings overflowed and yes, I would say that my goals for the Christmas Mother organization have been met, but it’s truly an ongoing process. I soon realized that once you become a Christmas Mother, you will always remain a Christmas Mother. I was truly amazed with how the organization’s core values opened up and I was truly anxious to jump on board once I was given this opportunity. I give credit to the amazing executive board and the everyday committee members that I worked with so closely and borrowed their knowledge; they became my adopted family. Just the other day, during my down time, I chose to visit the Christmas Mother headquarters. I wanted to spend time alone, to look around and reminisce over what had taken place there just a few months ago. Being there brought tears to my eyes. I began picturing the many volunteers who selflessly came on a daily basis to render their services as they wrapped gifts and constantly asked for more to do, which was just unbelievable. Thinking of the churches, businesses and private donors who gave gifts for both the young and old in need, picking up donated gifts

from all the schools and remembering the faces of some of the third grade classes as I shared with them what goes on at the Christmas Mother headquarters, which I secretly named the North Pole of Powhatan. My thoughts began to deepen and I could not forget how other nonprofit organizations such as the Coalition of Churches, Habitat for Humanity and a couple of businesses joined forces with the Christmas Mother organization and remedied a few cases of residential critical repairs and other domestic issues of a few families of need. We, the Christmas Mother organization, are so grateful for the toy drives, the angel trees, the sponsored T-shirts that were sold, the adoption of families and the wish that came true with the sponsored parade. Remembering the faces of the participants and the many spectators, particularly the children, will always remain in our hearts. The 2021 year activities ended with a sponsored Winter Wonderland Ball and was well supported by the ticketed attendees, which added much needed funds to help with unforeseen circumstances throughout the rest of its calendar year. I thank all of you and the Powhatan Christmas Mother organization for allowing me to serve as the 2021 Christmas Mother. Dale Goodman 2021 Powhatan Christmas Mother

fore-you-burn/ for complete regulations.
In the wake of recent storms that hit Virginia, officials with the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) are encouraging people to practice safe burning if and when they begin burning yard debris and blown down limbs and trees. The VDOF regulates open burning, and there are several rules, regulations and tips that residents need to follow to stay safe, stay legal and avoid undesirable impacts from smoke. From Feb. 15 through the end of April, it is illegal to burn BEFORE 4 p.m. if you’re within 300 feet of woods or dry grass leading to the woods. Visit https://dof.virginia.gov/ wildland-prescribed-fire/ wildfire-prevention/be-
Responsible burning Start any burn as early as possible (after 4 p.m. during fire season), so the fire will have time to die down before evening sets in. Citizens also need to ensure that they follow any local burning ordinances that are in effect in their area. Have enough people on-site to keep the fire attended to and controlled at all times. Keep handy a water hose, shovel or other means to put out the fire. Make sure the fire is completely out before leaving it. This means no smoke and no heat. Call 911 for help immediately if your fire

Softball commits look ahead to final season By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
Though softball season has yet to start for Powhatan, three seniors that have been vital to the team’s success are already looking ahead to the collegiate level. Sisters Joy and Savannah Johnson and teammate Carsen Hogston have all committed to schools after their final seasons in Powhatan, where they’ll have one last shot at leading the Indians on a deep postseason run. As juniors, they were vital members of a team that finished 8-3 in a shortened season. Head coach Marie Crump has raved about the positive impacts the three have made on the program since they arrived. “Each of these young ladies has had a positive impact on our program and I am delighted to see that they will continue playing after they graduate from Powhatan,” coach Crump said. Joy and Savannah, who were part of the 2019 team that went 15-6 and reached the regional semifinals, will be attending Emory & Henry and UVA Wise, respectively, just over an hour apart from each other. The two sisters, who were commonly associated as the same person when they first started playing together, are equal parts excited and anxious about no longer sharing the field together, but both agree that this final season will be a special one. “We’ve definitely had a different bond than most people would on the softball field,” Joy said. “We’ve always had each other’s backs so it’s definitely going to be different not having her there all the time.” Joy is coming off an

impressive junior season at first base, where she finished with a .263 batting average, three RBIs and a .932 field average. Before deciding on Emory & Henry, Joy considered Lynchburg and Greensboro College as
options for her commitment, and though she nearly decided on Greensboro after touring the campus and meeting with the coaches, a coaching change left her weighing her options further. Once she had a pri-
vate tryout and an offer at Emory & Henry, she knew immediately it was the right fit. “I knew that’s where I wanted to go,” she said. “It felt like home.“ Further exciting her was the prospect of play-
ing alongside two of her teammates on her travel team, Ashley Foster and Emma Anderson. Savannah, an outfielder, was one of Powhatan’s most impactful allaround players last season, batting a .448 with
seven RBIs and no errors defensively. Now getting ready to be a Cavalier at UVA Wise, she plans on making the most of her final season with the teammates and friends she’s spent playing softsee COMMITS, pg. 2B
Powhatan pulls out clutch win over Maggie Walker By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
Facing a five-point game in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, the Powhatan boys basketball team found themselves in familiar territory. For the fourth straight game, the Indians faced a clutch time fourth quarter where every pos-
session could decide the outcome of the game. They lost the last three games in this situation, but on Jan. 11 at Maggie Walker (3-7), Powhatan (3-4) was the team to come out on top, winning 39-30. Head coach Ryan Marable said after the game that, while it’s not ideal finding themselves in these types of late-
game situations, these games have given him a clear idea of what needs work at this stage in the season. “We got another chance to get a close game so we can at least go back to the drawing board tomorrow and we can practice and work on the things that have hurt us in four straight close games,” he said.
It was a low-scoring affair at Maggie Walker, but a game-high 15 points from senior guard Matthew Hempfield was the difference for Powhatan in their first win of 2022. Hempfield, who also recorded five steals, powered the Powhatan offense with a sevenpoint second quarter that

At the Icebreaker Invitational on Dec. 4, 2021, Jenkins not only ran faster than her opponents, she also beat her own personal record by four seconds with a time of 1 minute, 24.32 seconds. To add to that, Jenkins also placed second in the long jump at the Icebreaker Invitational with a result of 14 feet, 9 inches. More recently, Jenkins continued her
run of strong performances at the Liberty Premier Invitational on Jan. 8. Competing in the 500 against 54 participants, Jenkins placed 19th with a 1:25.72 time. She also placed sixth among 25 athletes in the long jump, recording a 15-foot result. Jenkins was one of 23 Powhatan athletes to attend the Liberty meet and one of two to record a top-10 finish in an event.

Henderson’s 29 points lead the charge over Cosby By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
After struggling to hit shots in their 34-25 loss to L.C. Bird on Tuesday night, Powhatan came out with a purpose in their follow-up game against Cosby on Thursday, Jan. 13. This time, they had no problems scoring baskets, cruising to a 60-45 win led by star forward Faith Henderson. “Last game we didn’t have as much energy,” head coach Kristy Henderson said. “We talked about that coming out: having a purpose.” Faith Henderson led all scorers with 29 points on an efficient 11-of-16 from the field. At the half, Henderson was a scorching seven-of-nine from the field, finding most of her success driving to the rim. “We felt like scoring off the dribble tonight was to our advantage, and we tried to do that by spreading them out and running that offense,” coach Henderson said. In the first half, the trio of Henderson, Kayla Terry and Katherine Cerullo accounted for 31 of the team’s 35 points, with all

gave Powhatan a 21-20 lead going into the half. Taking advantage of the Dragons’ lack of size in the frontcourt, Hempfield’s pick-and-roll and speed getting to the rim frustrated the home team and earned him multiple trips to the free throw line in the process. Behind Hempfield was freshman forward Matthew Henderson with nine points, though his most important bucket was his last. With three minutes left and a five-point lead, Henderson found himself at the right spot for an offensive rebound that he calmly finished with a putback bucket. That type of rebounding was vital in the closing possessions for Powhatan, who have struggled at times clean-

ans, who outscored the Titans 25-15 in the second half despite a significantly slower pace. Powhatan held Cosby to just five points in the third quarter, while scoring 12 of their own. The highlight of the quarter came at the very end when guard Corynn Lampman rolled a layup into the hoop as time expired, which drew a huge response from the Powhatan bench. That positive energy rolled into nearly every good play Powhatan made in the fourth quarter, including a charge from Cerullo that got the entire team fired up. “It’s amazing, there’s nothing that beats it,” Henderson said about the team’s energy. “From the last game, we could just tell something was off, and this game we knew that. We focused on having more energy and passion, and we did that and it helped us in the outcome.” Powhatan was scheduled to play again on Jan. 18 in their first rematch of the season, taking on Manchester. They lost to Manchester in the season opener in a tight 58-56 contest.
three shooting over 50% from the field. While Cosby’s offense started off strong making their first four baskets, Powhatan quickly found its groove on both ends. Guard Samantha Flippo had three first-quarter steals and Cerullo had two blocks to deter Cosby’s offense. After a pair of
threes from Henderson and Terry along with a Terry transition layup, the Indians rode a wave of momentum into the second quarter up 20-12. Henderson then took the second quarter over completely, scoring 10 points in eight minutes in a variety of ways. She flew off pindowns for
mid-range looks, drove to the rim with authority and euro-stepped her way to the basket to help maintain Powhatan’s lead. Despite her dominance, the Titans hung around, keeping it just a five-point game going into the half, 35-30. After a high-octane, fast-paced first half, the
pace came to a halt in the third quarter when coach Henderson noticed the Titans were coming out in a zone to start the half despite being down five. Using this to her advantage, she had the team hold the ball, forcing the Titans to play aggressive or suffer a draining clock. The strategy worked for the Indi-
ing the glass due to their smaller closing lineup. “We rebounded the ball so much better than we have in the past,” Marable said. “Our guards were rebounding and making critical plays and that helped cut off (Maggie Walker’s) possessions.” In the first quarter, both teams finished level at 10 points each, with Maggie Walker’s outside shooting and Powhatan’s ball movement leading to their scoring success. The Indians had four assists and four field goals in the first eight minutes. The main highlight of the first quarter was a layup from Hempfield where his pump fake got his defender in the air, leaving him an open driving lane to the hoop. The second quarter became Hempfield’s time to take over. The senior scored five points at
the line along with a pull-up long two in the face of his defender to put the Indians in front at the break. Marable also used this matchup of two smaller teams to experiment with some new lineups. One such lineup saw sophomore big man Teddy Anderson and junior Austin Hurt pairing up on the interior, a lineup Marable believes could come in handy in certain matchups down the line. “We just wanted to do something to be able to play more guys,” Marable said. “It was the first time we’ve really done that so hopefully it’ll help in the future.” Coming out of the half, the Indians offense kept doing just enough positive things to generate points while the Dragons’ outside shooting continued to miss the mark. Powhatan out-
scored Maggie Walker 11-5 in the third quarter, with a pair of 3-pointers from Henderson and guard Jack DeBord leading the way. The fourth quarter saw the Indians start to prioritize killing the clock on their possessions, with the Dragons showing little pressure until the final three minutes. The Dragons were able to cut the Indians’ lead down to five after a 3-pointer from K.J. Dowling, who led the team with 12 points off four 3-point makes, but Henderson’s putback and a charge from guard Oscar Whitely were the final blows that gave Powhatan their first win since Dec. 3. Powhatan plays again Wednesday, Jan. 19 when they take on Manchester on the road. The game tips off at 7:15 p.m.

ball with since she was a freshman. “I’ve been with most of them since my freshman year and in middle school,” she said. “I’m going to miss all the friendships and relationships with the coaches and my sister. It’s going to be tough.” Savannah initially looked at Virginia Wesleyan as a potential option for her softball career, but after getting a walk-on offer, she was determined to do better than that. After staying on campus with current players and trying out at UVA Wise, she was offered a spot on the team. It didn’t take long for her to make her commitment. Even with another season of high school softball yet to be played, Savannah feels her experiences at Powhatan with Crump have prepared her for that next step. Specifically, she talked about the way Crump instilled a team-first mentality.
ROBBY FLETCHER/POWHATAN TODAY
“She pushes us to be our best,” she said. “If you make a mistake, you just pick yourself back up. There’s no putting someone down.” Both were thankful for the dedication Crump, their parents Heather and Michael Johnson, and their grandfather Ron Johnson showed in their pursuit of playing college softball. Hogston, meanwhile, has decided to take her talents to Ferrum College of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. While Powhatan has been her home for 18 years and the Indians softball team has been a different kind of home for four years, the chance for a new adventure is something she can’t wait to experience. “My life after Powhatan I’m excited for and also scared,” she said. “Life is going to be different as a student and as a softball player, and I’m going to miss it.” For her recruiting process, she had interest from Randolph-Macon
for a long time before getting in contact with Ferrum head coach Gerald Culler. “My conversations with the coaches were always very positive and nice, they’re so welcoming and are giving me the best opportunities I can have,” she said. “I know about a handful of players, and they’re all so nice and also welcoming to me coming to their team.” Some of the things she’ll miss the most about playing with the Indians are the everyday experiences like warming up in practice or preparing for game days with her teammates. But most of all, she’s thankful for everyone that’s helped her get these opportunities to continue playing the game she loves. “I would like to thank my parents for always supporting me and making sure I have all the opportunities I can have,” Hogston said. “I also want to thank coach Crump for helping me become the player I am today.”

■ VIRGINIA AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen Gov’t issued coins that everyone will be trying to get 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.

“The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Lynne, Director of Coin and Currency 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 find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication. “But don’t thank the Government. As Director of Coin and Currency 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 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 fluctuate 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 ordinar y 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 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.

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 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 TollFree Hotline before the deadline ends. “Remember this, we cannot 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 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 i nclud i ng icon ic Morga n Si lver

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 find the first three digits of their 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.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING POWHATAN COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION Notice is hereby given, pursuant to § 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, that the Planning Commission of Powhatan County will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, February 1, 2022, at 6:00 PM in the Powhatan County Village Building Auditorium, 3910 Old Buckingham Road, to consider the following requests: Case #21-10-REZC: DJM Ventures (District #2: Flat Rock/Holly Hills) requests the rezoning of Tax Map Parcels #41A-1-B-1A and 41-82D from General-Commercial (C) and Agricultural-10 (A-10) to Commerce Center (CC) and amendment of the zoning district map of approximately 2.25 acres of land located on the south side of State Route 60 (Anderson Highway) just east of State Route 676 (Urbine Rd). The applicant is seeking to repurpose the existing building for use as a restaurant. The 2021 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Commerce Center (Route 60 Corridor East Special Area Plan) on the Countywide Future Land Use Plan. Case #22-01-REZ: Powhatan County requests the rezoning of the Tax Map Parcels listed at the bottom of this notice from General-Commercial (C) to Commerce Center (CC) and amendment of the zoning district map. General Commercial is a zoning designation that is no longer in line with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan or the Zoning Ordinance and has few allowable commercial uses. The following properties contain existing structures, and to ensure the continued operation of commercial uses in such structures, the County proposes to proactively rezone those properties on behalf of the property owners. Rezoning to CC will allow a much wider range of by right commercial uses going forward and more consistent with the uses these properties historically would have had but are no longer permitted today under the existing General Commercial zoning. The 2021 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan predominantly designates the desired land use of these properties as gateway business. That tax map parcels to be rezoned as a part of this rezoning are as follows. 26-116, 26-117A, 26-117B, 26-117C, 26-117D, 26-117E, 26-117F, 26-122, 26-24, 26-25, 26-68, 26-74, 26-8-1, 26B1-1-1A, 26B1-1-2A, 26B1-1-2B, 26B2-1-30, 26B2-1-38, 26B3-1-22, 26B3-1-6A, 27-12A, 27-17, 32-29, 38-51A, 38-52, 38-52A, 38-53, 38-54, 39-100, 39-108B, 3964A, 39-84, 39-84A, 39-85, 39-87, 39-99, 39C-2-1, 39C-2-4, 41-10, 41-12D, 41-19, 41-24, 41-45, 41-45B, 41-57, 41-61, 41-86E, 41-86M, 41-86N, 41-8A, 41-9, 41A-1-B-1A, 41C-1-1, 41C-1-10, 41C-1-11, 41C-1-14, 41C-1-16, 41C-1-19, 41C-1-20, 41C-1-21, 41C-1-22, 41C-1-2A, 41C-1-3A, 41C-1-4A, 41C-1-5, 41C-1-6, 41C-1-7, 41C-1-7A, 41C-1-8, 41C-2-10, 41C-2-11, 41C-2-12, 41C-2-14, 41C-2-2, 41C-2-4, 41C-2-5, 41C2-7, 41C-2-9, 42-19, 42-19, 42-27, 42-5-2, 42-57B, 42-6-1, 42-68B, 42-72, 42-7-2, 42-7-3, 42-7-4, 42-7-8, 42-9A, 42-9H, 42E-1-1, 42E-1-2, 42E-1-2A, 42E-1-3-1, 42E-1-3-2, 42E-1-4, 42E-1-5, 42E-1-6, 42E-2-10, 43-24, 43-24B, 43-28A, 43-28B, 43-34, 43-C-4-2. Case #21-13-REZC: FD&B Enterprises LLC (District #1: Flat Rock/Subletts) requests the rezoning of Tax Map Parcels 041A-1-A-4B from General-Commercial (C) to Commerce Center (CC) and amendment of the zoning district map of approximately 1.67 acres of land located on the north side of State Route 60 (Anderson Highway). The applicant is seeking to build two commercial buildings. The 2021 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Gateway Business (Route 60 Corridor East Special Area Plan) on the Countywide Future Land Use Plan. Case #21-10-CUP: Chadham & Sarah Taylor (District #3: Jefferson/Fine Creek Mills) request a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow a rural event venue within the Agricultural-10 (A-10) zoning district per Sec. 83-162 of the Zoning Ordinance of the County of Powhatan. The use is located at Tax Map Parcel #17-24 and #17-24A (2987 & 2983 Huguenot Trail) in north central Powhatan County. The 2021 Long Range Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Rural Areas and Natural Conservation on the Countywide Future Land Use Plan. Case #21-11-CUP: George Stermer (District #4: Powhatan Village/Macon) request a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow an accessory dwelling unit within the Single-family Residential-2 (R-2) zoning district per Sec. 83-210 of the Zoning Ordinance of the County of Powhatan. The use is located at Tax Map Parcel #38B-2-8 (1627 Indian Pipe Ct) in central Powhatan County. The 2021 Long Range Comprehensive Plan designates the subject property as Rural Areas on the Countywide Future Land Use Plan. Case #22-01-AZ: The County of Powhatan requests the amendment of the provisions set forth in section of and Chapter 83 (Zoning Ordinance) Article VII (Use Standards) to remove language constraining gas stations to a maximum of two vehicular access points. Without this provision in place, future gas stations will be regulated by VDOT standards for parcel access.
