K-9 program seeks to give back, move forward By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office will soon be saying farewell to a dedicated officer, but in doing so, they know it’s what is best for both him and the agency moving forward. Argie, a 3 ½-year-old Belgian Malinois, has been with the sheriff’s office since December 2019 and has done an admirable job as a K-9 officer in the community, said his partner Sgt. Kaitlyn Crane. But the writing has been on the wall for Argie’s career in Powhatan and the state as a whole since legislators made the decision in 2021 to legalize up to 1 ounce of marijuana for personal use, effective July 1, 2021. The problem comes with a narcotics dogs like Argie, who is trained to alert his handler to five different odors, one of which is marijuana. Since the dogs can only scent the presence of marijuana, not the amount, and they don’t differentiate between the narcotics they were trained

CAROLINE SCHOLLAERT
POWHATAN – The family and friends of the late Caroline Schollaert, a Powhatan native and eight-year U.S. Coast Guard member, are honoring her memory by doing something that came naturally to her during her life – helping others. The Caroline Joy Schollaert Memorial Scholarship was recently established in her honor to offer an annual $1,000 for a Powhatan High School senior to recognize those who model exemplary leadership skills, academic excellence and outstanding citizenship both in and out of the classroom. Schollaert was part of the PHS Class of 2013. Schollaert, 26, was stationed in Jacksonville, Florida and assigned to do heavy maintenance for the Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (HITRON). In August 2021, she was killed outside her home in Jacksonville while trying to stop a car burglary. At the time, friends of hers in Jacksonville created a Go Fund Me account to offer a reward for the capture of the person responsible for her death. When the man law enforcement suspected of shooting her turned himself in, the reward went unclaimed and was given to the family. Pat Schollaert of Powhatan said the money has been sitting in a bank account untouched until he and his wife Maggie could figure out how to use it to best honor their daughter. The idea for the scholarship made them proud because it personifies the way she lived her life wanting to help others. The scholarship will go toward tuition or see SCHOLARSHIP, pg. 4

Kiosk offers free hearing tests at library Contributed Report The onset of COVID-19 required innovative programming across the nation. When Community Matters Senior Resource Program coordinator Jayne Lloyd learned of a new approach in hearinghealth advocacy, it caught her attention. Lloyd reached out to Lisa Mottesheard, CaptionCall manager and Hearing Loss Association of America Richmond outreach chair, who offered a wealth of information about a new hearing loss awareness initiative. CaptionCall is a federally funded Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) resource that provides phones optimized for individuals with hearing loss. Kiosks are being rolled out by CaptionCall, and Powhatan County was the
first on board to host one of them as a free resource offered to the local community. The kiosk, which is located in Powhatan County Public Library, offers a way for people of any age to screen their own hearing privately and is completely self-serve. The user-friendly interface guides participants through a simple hearing test, and they can do whatever they wish with the results they receive. see HEARING, pg. 3 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Volunteers from AARP Tax-Aide will be returning to the Powhatan Library to provide free tax preparation services, but the processes will look a little different this year due to new COVID19 protocols. 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 volunteers have all the information they need, the taxpayer will have a quick interview with a tax counselor 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. TaxAide will be open for appointments every Wednesday and Friday as usual. People are able to schedule their first appointment online on the library website. 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 received all their tax documents. The second annual Powhatan Animal Control Supplies Drive hosted by realtor Victoria Hall is going on through March 6. People who want to help may donate dog and cat food (wet and dry), dog and cat treats, baby food (meat-flavored), dog shampoo, English slip leads, laundry detergent and bleach, blankets and towels, and gift cards.

Hey Guys my name is Cappuccino, I am a Lab mix, I am around 2 years old, The other guy is my buddy his name is Pupaccino, He is a Boston Terrier Mix and he is around a year old. We both came in as stray’s and nobody claimed us. We went on a adventure a few weeks before we came here, and someone found our owners, but this time I guess they didn’t care enough to come forward. So a little about us, We would love to be together as we love to play, and be together. We look out for each other, and we just love each other so much. We both have goofy personality’s, Me well I love balls and I try to put as many as I can in my mouth, Pupacinno well he likes to chase me and try to get them away, He doesn’t succeed very often, As I am faster than him. If you are looking for two goofy fellas, and two guys who love each other, and would love our humans just as much Please call 804-598-5672 and the staff will be happy to assist you in scheduling you an appointment to meet me.

required fees for a senior choosing to go to university, college, technical school or the U.S. Military. The chosen student must have at least a 3.25 GPA; model service to others over service to self; contributed positively to the classroom and community, and demonstrate exemplary leadership skills. The completed application is due to the PHS Counselor’s Office on Friday, May 14. Pat Schollaert pointed out that while his daughter joined the Coast Guard, his son chose to go to a fouryear university. He and his wife didn’t wish to exclude a student based on their future career path. “I didn’t want to exclude anybody and my daughter wouldn’t have either. She was such an advocate for the underdog,” he said, adding he hopes the scholarship goes a little bit toward encouraging other young people to follow her example. “She did so many things – a lot of small things in her life to help people regardless of who they were or where they were. That level of service, that kindness and consideration she had an abundance of in her life. She was a ray of sunshine,” he said. John Nolan, a seventh grade mathematics teacher at Powhatan Middle School, taught Caroline Schollaert during the 2005-2006 school year at the former Pocahontas Middle School. He said she had incredible intuition in regard to knowing when another child needed a friend or encouragement. She was always a magnet for

She was really intelligent, and, not in a negative way, but was a bit on the goofy side. She made you laugh a lot,” Nolan said. After her death, Nolan said he reintroduced himself to the family and they reconnected over memories of the young Caroline. The idea for the scholarship was in part inspired by how the Powhatan community embraced the Schollaert family after the tragedy. “When they brought her home in August, I had never seen anything like that. I have never seen such an incredible outpouring of support both for Maggie and Pat and in a tribute to Caroline, not just as one of Powhatan’s own but a member of our military who carried herself with a lot of honor and a lot of dignity. I had never seen anything like that before; that really moved me. I felt at that point it was really important to make sure that her memory would never be forgotten,” Nolan said. The scholarship is about taking a horrible tragedy and trying to make it into somewhat of a positive way to honor an amazing PHS graduate, he said. Pat Schollaert said they are currently working with an accountant to set up a scholarship fund that will still be going long after he and his wife are gone.

to detect marijuana. The sheriff’s office’s other K-9 officer, Sgt. Bane, is still usable because he is a dual purpose dog, trained not only in narcotics but in patrol and tracking, she added. Argie has remained useful in searches at the schools, where it is still illegal to possess marijuana, but that limited use is neither good enough for the K-9 officer, who Crane said loves to work, nor the sheriff’s office, which isn’t using its K-9 program to the fullest potential. “It is not fair for him to only be 3 ½ years old and not be able to work anymore because he is a good worker. This dog loves to work. It is not fair to him to keep him and not let him go to work every day,” Crane said. While some law enforcement agencies are choosing to retire the affected narcotics dogs, Argie still has too much potential use to let his training go to waste, Crane said. In the coming months, Argie will be gifted to Ventosa Kennel in North Carolina, which trains K-9 dogs for law enforcement. The kennel will sell Argie to an agency in a state where marijuana is not legal, which will likely be a cost savings for another agency as well. “(Argie) going to Ventosa Kennels is 100% free. Hopefully he will be able to find a home pretty quickly being a retrained dog and being pretty young. He should be able to start working quickly,” Crane said. The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office will receive a credit toward buying a future dual purpose K-9 officer when it has the funds to do so. Toward that end, Crane

daughter’s gymnastics practice that evening reading through the proposed fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget when a friend called him with the news that he had won. He saw the news as a vote of confidence in the direction and changes he helped establish in his five months as an interim school board member. Taylor said it was his first time running for an elected office so everything was new to him. He was not sure which way the voting would go on Election Day, he said, because Cabaniss and Thompson ran strong campaigns. Fortunately, he had a great deal of support from people with campaign experience as well as many voters he knew or met while running for office. “Over the last several months, I was privileged to meet many people in Powhatan. I got to hear their stories and concerns. I learned most of them wanted the same things my wife and I did,” he said. “They wanted a representative who would speak and stand up for them. They wanted someone to champion traditional beliefs and values. They wanted their rights as parents to be upheld.” Taylor said he came onto the school board in an interim capacity ready to advocate for those things, which he acknowledged brought a fair amount of criticism. “It would have been easy to back away from my convictions and go with

has started fundraising efforts to purchase a new dog, which she estimated would cost upwards of $15,000. Three Crosses Distilling Company and Island Glow are partnering to host a “Lucky Dog Fundraiser” beginning at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 17. The event will raise money toward the purchase of a new dog for the sheriff’s office as well as collecting donations of food and pet items for Powhatan Animal Shelter. The funds raised will help with purchasing, training and equipping a new dog, which is expensive. Powhatan got lucky with Argie because he was gifted to the sheriff’s office by the Richmond Police Department in September 2019 after picking him up from an animal shelter in Maryland, Crane said. At the time, the training program she attended in Chesterfield was also free, but that school won’t be possible this time because of time constraints, she said. Crane, who long wanted to be a K-9 handler, said that being partnered with Argie was an exciting turn in her career. She added that he also came at a time when she needed him because her mom had died, and he helped her through that. “And he probably needed me a little bit. I don’t know what his circumstances were in Maryland but he was a shelter dog. So we both kind of gave each other something to focus on,” she said. “I think that is what makes it so hard. But the part that makes it easy is he has proven himself in the short time in Powhatan as a good drug dog. I know he will do well in another jurisdiction and that is what he needs. He needs to work. If he was just going to
the flow. I chose, however, to stand strong, and I believe the constituents of District 4 appreciated my commitment to those convictions. For that reason, I get to represent them for the next two years,” he said. Moving forward, Taylor said the school board has important tasks ahead, including hiring a new superintendent who fits Powhatan and its needs and facing the ongoing challenge to remain competitive when it comes to recruiting and retaining employees. After the election, both Cabaniss and Thompson shared their gratefulness to those who supported them during their races. Cabaniss said she ran without the backing of any group, without accepting campaign donations, and on the promise of always doing her best to represent her entire district. She thanked family and friends who supported her during the campaign and everyone who was willing to listen to her share her views and talk with her about the issues that are important to them. “This process has run the full spectrum of emotions and campaigning is not for the faint of heart. But throughout the entire process almost every single individual I spoke with was respectful, caring, and showed the Powhatan that I know and love,” she said. “The election results were not the ones I hoped and prayed for, but I’m holding my head high. There is nowhere to go from here

but up. I’m proud of running a clean campaign without misleading statements or trying to bring down anyone else.” Cabaniss, who is a mother of three, said she will still stay involved with the community through Powhatan athletics and Girl Scouts and “volunteering in our schools at every available opportunity. That’s who I am, and no vote could ever change that.” Thompson said it was a challenge to campaign on the heels of the state race in November 2021 because she found that so many voters did not realize there was a special election scheduled. She said she was disappointed about voter turnout for the special election when she learned only 580 out of 4,873 registered voters in District 4 voted in the election. She added she was grateful to those who helped her during the campaign. “I want to thank the many wonderful people who contributed to the campaign, made phone calls, worked the polls, erected signs and knocked doors with me. You are all amazing,” Thompson said. “We overcame great odds, not having the name recognition of the interim appointee, and having lost by only (36) votes, we did an amazing job!” Thompson also expressed gratitude to voters who allowed her the opportunity to knock on their doors and listen to their concerns. “Voters were most concerned about transparency in the curriculum, masks
mandates and students receiving a quality education. I was surprised at the number of parents who were homeschooling or sending their children to private schools,” she said. Thompson added that she will continue to be active in school and community matters, which will continue to be her priority. Director of elections Karen Alexander said last week’s special election had lower turnout than she expected but otherwise saw no issues and was a quiet day. She said there were several people from outside of District 4 who attempted to vote not realizing they weren’t District 4 residents but understood when it was explained to them. “I was actually sadly surprised that there weren’t more people voting only because the school board has seen such robust attendance at the school board meetings and people have been really fired up about mask mandates and school curriculum and have been very boisterous online about the county’s leadership. I thought there would be as robust attendance on Election Day and was sad to see there wasn’t,” she said. Of the 580 people who voted, just over 35% cast their ballot early or by mail, Alexander said. If lengthy early voting periods continue to be the state norm, she said that will likely be a common choice for voters. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Powhatan Pollinator Protectors volunteers work on the monarch butterfly garden at Flat Rock Elementary School.
Group seeks to save butterflies Contributed Report The Powhatan Pollinator Protectors is a small group building a monarch butterfly garden at Flat Rock Elementary School. The focus in developing this butterfly garden is to protect the monarch butterfly species endangered by pesticide use, while also having an environmental impact on the community. The group is also providing environmental learning opportunities for high school students and Flat Rock Elementary students. Organizers would love for teachers to use this garden as a tool for teaching the monarch life cycle. Over this past summer, the P3’s have been receiving service hours through Virginians for Conservation and Community Rights (VCCR) while preparing the garden’s soil for spring
planting. They would like to thank the Powhatan Education Foundation for their grant, as well as Robert Urbine for Yardworks’ support toward the project. Any individuals interested in becoming involved with the Powhatan Pollinator Protectors may contact Victoria Ronnau at 804-357-2880. The group is looking for volunteers, especially at the high school, interested in participating in this project. If you need community service hours, this is a great opportunity! The group thanks people for helping us build a sustainable community monarch garden! Anyone who wants to learn more about VCCR may find information at www.vccr.info or search Virginians for Conservation and Community Rights on social media.

the painting of his 76-year-old visage side by side with a recreation of his black and white U.S. Marine photo taken when he was only 17 years old. The unveiling of the mural in his honor on Valentine’s Day, along with four other veterans honored with murals the same day, did more than anything he has experienced in the decades since being honorably discharged in 1968 to lessen the sting of the reception he received when he came home from war and make him feel like it might have all been worth it. “When we came home we couldn’t come into the United States in our uniforms. We had to change into civilian clothes. We didn’t understand it – never did. We basically had to sneak back into our own country, and that always bothered me,” Ashmore said. The only subterfuge last week was on the part of the organizers at the VA Hospital, who kept the murals hidden until the official unveiling ceremony held Feb. 14 to honor five veterans with personalized murals. In addition to Ashmore, murals were unveiled in honor of Charles Battle, U.S. Navy; Thessalonia Higgs, U.S. Marine Corps; Mary Golden, U.S. Army, and James Howard, U.S. Army. The mural project, which is called “The Journey of a Veteran,” was created as a partnership between the hospital and Community Foundation for a Greater Richmond. Kristy Coie-Day, chief of the Center for Development and Civic Engagement, said the hospital was already considering a mural project when the foundation reached out with a similar idea. The foundation didn’t have a set concept in mind, so she suggested making the murals about veterans who volunteer with the VA Hospital to make life better for other veterans. They selected the five veterans with connections to the hospital and a wide range of stories that artists Jason Ford and Ed Trask used as inspiration to represent just how diverse people can be who share a designation as a veteran. “I thought those five made a very well-rounded group of individuals to be represented in this mural,” she said. “So I gathered pictures from their time in service and pictures of them currently and set up a meeting for them to all sit down and speak with the artists so the artists could really feel connected with them. That went amazingly well.”
camp fires, warming fires, brush piles, household trash, stumps, fields of broomstraw and brush, or anything capable of spreading fire. There is a maximum fine of $500. For more information, contact the Virginia Department of Forestry.
While he knew he was going to be included in a mural, Ashmore said he had no idea when he agreed to meet the artists at a veterans’ retreat run by James Howard that the simple conversation would lead to a mural that captured some of the most meaningful aspects of his life and military service. In addition to the images of his current and younger self and an American flag, there are three main elements in Ashmore’s mural with special meaning. While there is only one Purple Heart painted in the mural, Ashmore actually received three Purple Hearts during his time in Vietnam. “I tell people all the time marines are thick headed. That is why I had to get three of them before I said I have to get out of here,” he joked before getting serious. “Every person that is in the military in a combat situation does what they have to do. They go where they have to go and fight what they have to fight. That is a way of life.” Ashmore said he had known since he was in first grade he wanted to be a marine, which is why he enlisted in 1964. He was planning to make the Marine Corps his career, but when the injuries sustained in Vietnam meant he likely could only continue to serve behind a desk, he decided that wasn’t for him. In addition to being wounded, Ashmore’s health, like that of so many other veterans, was seriously impacted by exposure during the war to Agent Orange. An orange banner runs along one corner of the mural to represent his health complications caused by the tactical herbicide. The third important component is Ashmore’s cane, which is a nod to him using his extensive martial arts and defense training to create the Cane Loyalty program. The five-point system focuses on situational awareness, balance, flexibility, building strength and defense – both against an assailant and the natural effects of aging such as slips and falls. Although he does charge for some classes, Ashmore offers free classes, seminars and training to veterans. Those components were also some of the main reasons Coie-Day said Ashmore was the first veteran she thought of for a mural. She appreciates how engaging Ashmore is when he works with veterans to teach them defense or how to use a cane to improve their quality of life. “I just felt Tom was continuously giving back to the veteran community,”

she said. She added that working with Ashmore previously, he became a mentor to her, so she got to see firsthand the positive impact he can have on people. Seeing all of those important aspects of his identity represented together was a powerful moment, Ashmore said. “I didn’t have any problem looking at it. I just kept looking at it. I have a picture on my phone I have probably looked at it 100 times,” Ashmore said the day after the unveiling. He added that he was equally impressed by the other murals. “First of all I was fascinated that the artists were able to do such a good job. I don’t know how
you can capture people like they did. I think you can see the emotions of them in the murals.” Ashmore was doubly surprised at the ceremony when he was presented with a quilt given to him by Quilts of Valor. Looking at it, he said he could feel the love and respect that went into it. He said he was fighting back tears when the description of the meaning of the quilts was read to him. “It was just an overwhelming feeling,” said Ashmore, adding he was emotionally drained at the end of the event but also felt incredibly honored.

Adult education revamp to open new doors By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
O
nly a few weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic put the brakes on life as we knew it in March 2020, I was thoroughly enjoying myself learning something new. We had recently run a notice in the Powhatan Today about the Winter 2020 session of the Powhatan County Public Schools’ Adult Continuing Education offerings, and a few of the more hobbyist classes caught my eye. Exploring Chocolate and Knife Skills 101 were both educational and delicious, and I had a fantastic time hanging out with a few old friends and meeting some new ones. Then the pandemic hit, and we could barely get a handle on regular educational offerings, much less recreational ones, for longer than I want to think about. So when Roxanne Salerno, the county’s economic development manager, reached out a few weeks ago to let me know the adult education program was coming back with some changes, I was excited. If they brought the chocolate class back, I was all for reeducating myself. What’s that about repetition being the mother of learning? Of course, if you read the story, you may remember that the program is coming back, but it will likely
look quite different. Salerno has been assisting Jason Tibbs, director of facilities and career and technical education (CTE), and the adult education’s new parttime coordinator, Michael Ashton, to revitalize the program and make it more relevant to the needs of Powhatan’s business community. With that in mind, they have been distributing surveys to local business leaders to gather information about what kind of adult education courses would best serve existing needs in the community. The survey can be found at https://forms.gle/X7CVWEiZLfc92NFc9 or people may request a paper copy by emailing Ashton at Michael.ashton@powhatan.k12. va.us. Return or fill out survey by March 22. When I first saw some of the subject matters suggested in the survey, I admit to being a little disappointed. There were topics such as accounting basics, app development and design, customer service/retail skills, medical coding, project management essentials, security officer training, welding basics, career searching/switching, conversational Spanish and/or medical Spanish, supervision essentials and plumbing – none of which hold much appeal for me. But after talking to the trio working to revamp the adult education program so it is highly useful to our local workforce, I tried to be a little more broadminded about the possibilities these changes could bring
A strong mentor can make a huge difference By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
When you are 14 years old and possess less than refined social skills, it’s not easy to find a summer job, so I headed to the community pool to celebrate the first day of summer vacation. I immediately noticed my two best friends, both of them in similar employment status, as they scouted out the best location for a day of fun and mischief that only happens in those neighborhood pools. As we settled in, my friend alerted us to what seemed like earth-shattering news at the time. “I think I found a job,” he exclaimed. It seems he had stumbled on what would become employment for all three of us, working on a Charles Chips delivery truck and running chips, pretzels and chocolate chip cookies door to door in a variety of neighborhoods. Bright and early the next day, a vintage panel step van pulled in front of my house and collected me for what would be my first day of work. Sure, I’d had paper routes, sold seeds door to door for Boy Scouts and mowed a fair share of lawns in my neighborhood; but real employment at a real job was a new experience for me. Joe had been delivering Charles Chips for some years, and had a good grasp on how to sell the most, but, more importantly, he possessed an understanding of how to retain customers. The ex-Marine had a slow, sincere, southern drawl that appealed to the customers we
encountered, and they had learned that Joe was a man of his word and always delivered on a promise. Those first days progressed as Joe drove the old truck and we ran from door to door picking up and dropping off potato chips. Money for the new order was left under the empty can left on the front porch. When we weren’t hustling chips, Joe would enlighten us with war stories or his theory of successful business as we halfheartedly listened. As the weeks passed, Joe became more of a mentor than an employer. Joe knew something about just everything you can imagine and never failed to amaze us with his outdated quips and a unique ability to replace curse words with like sounding alternatives. “You have to look sharp if you want to sell something. No one wants to buy products from a bum,” he told us as he straightened his simple black clip-on tie positioned perfectly on a simple short sleeved white shirt. Needless to say, we didn’t realize we were actually learning something as the summer progressed, but all three of us never missed a day on the truck; and Joe became the person you could go to and discuss anything. As summer ended, we went back to high school and Joe continued to sell Charles Chips around town. We stayed in touch. For many years following that summer, the three of us would get together at Christmas and make a visit to Joe’s small apartment.
It wasn’t until far later in life that I realized Joe’s contributions and influence on our lives. He joins dozens of others who have positively affected my life, a sort of collage of people from all walks of life and various professions – all contributing bits of wisdom I hope wasn’t lost on the recipient. But, Joe provided my first lessons in business in those hot days of August sitting in that old step van surrounded by cans of Charles Chips. As for that trio of young entrepreneurs who enjoyed the wisdom of a crusty, old Marine that summer, one chose to work on the railroad and the security that accompanied, and another became a well-respected circuit court judge. I took Joe’s advice and pursued a career doing something I loved much more than door-to-door sales. When the seasoned warrior finally gave up the fight and passed years later, a small obituary appeared in the local newspaper. It listed no survivors or family members, and information regarding a funeral was missing. As I read the announcement, I thought that an unknowing reader might assume this person lived an insignificant life, unfulfilled with the joys of family and loved ones. To those who knew Joe, nothing was further from the truth. For certain, his legacy is fondly remembered and respected by that trio of friends who learned life’s earliest lessons riding in a Charles Chips van, perhaps unrecognized but not unremembered.

to local residents. When you move to a rural locality like Powhatan, you get used to long drives to get where you need to go. We have some great businesses in the county, but they can’t fill every need, which necessitates having to drive sometimes to find items or services. To date, that has included many of the post-K-12 educational opportunities people might seek to do in person. With that in mind, I looked at the list again. While I personally don’t have the desire or ambition to pursue HVAC courses or an infant toddler certificate for childcare workers, I can appreciate how having those opportunities close to home for our local residents can only be a good thing – for them and for current or potential employers. After the survey, the organizers will be using the data they gathered to revamp the program and take a proposal to the school board for consideration. If all goes well, they want to have the first course offerings in place for the fall. Mr. Tibbs previously told me the goal is to have the courses offered be “meaningful and applicable” to Powhatan. Whether I end up taking a course or not, it will be exciting to see adult education celebrated and embraced once again in the county. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Reader ponders mysteries of life Dear Editor, In Powhatan, while cutting up a two-by-four for blocking that will be used in the installation of my new zip line around two trees, I began thinking about the next ten most perplexing questions wondered about by Powhatanians and everyone else alike worldwide. In no particular order, here goes. 1.) Why does my hamburger and its add-on’s bought from the fast food restaurant look oh-so pitiful compared to that same hamburger as seen on a TV commercial? 2.) After announcing that company is coming over to our house, my Bride will dust, vacuum, and clear the clutter everywhere as if our guests are coming over for a photo shoot for Better Homes and Gardens. Why is this? 3.) When our dog and cat pets die, do they go to heaven? 4.)Why do some motorists suddenly flick on their turn signals when they are already halfway into their turn? 5.) In their attempt to solve the puzzle on the game show Wheel of Fortune, why don’t some contestants sound out the answer in their heads first after picking out a wildly wrong consonant before embarrassing themselves on national TV? 6.) Thinking about navel gazing, what exactly is belly-button lint anyway? 7.) Is it possible to say the word rutabaga without smiling? 8.) If the earth is rotating at 1,037.6 miles per hour in space why don’t we get dizzy and stomach queasy then toss our cookies all over our shoes? 9.) If the plural of goose is geese how come the plural of moose isn’t meese? 10.) And lastly, why did they name sour cream - sour cream when it tastes so good and is not at all sour? Enquiring minds want to know. More headscratchers to follow. Joe Ondishko Powhatan County

For the past seven years VACR has operated out of Powhatan. Chris Davoud, an operations executive and co-owner of several local construction companies, is the founder of VACR. His commitment to a simple belief: Do What You Say You Will Do, has allowed him to expand the business and create jobs for people in Powhatan and in the areas VACR serves.

This capability is coupled with a highly-personalized approach to service and constant communications with customers. The result is that VACR has become the leading snow removal provider in Virginia. Growing into Landscaping & Outdoor Maintenance
Chris wanted to ground VACR in a year-round business in order to insulate the company from the seasonal ups and downs of Snow Removal and Facilities Maintenance. Portable storage rentals for construction jobsites was the business model that emerged as the best starting point for the young company.
In 2012 VACR was asked by some snow removal clients to put together a team to perform year-round outdoor maintenance and landscaping. Today, VACR’s Landscaping division employs up to 30 team members providing a range of services, from parking lot repairs and line striping to landscaping to light pole maintenance.
Through exceptional service, and a lot of hard work, this side of the business grew into its current size, where VACR focuses primarily on contracting with large commercial properties across the state including several large shopping centers.

Weimer prepares to represent Indians track By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
C
oming off her first season of cross country at Powhatan High School, freshman Elizabeth Weimer was dealing with a problem. Transitioning quickly into the indoor track and field season, Weimer grappled with the adjustment to the new running surface that, up until a few weeks ago, caused her to deal with dizziness and self-doubt. “I definitely went through a sort of mental block at the beginning of the season,” Weimer said. “So the previous races, I’m not necessarily preparing. I was too scared to run.” After dealing with the obstacles that affected her both mentally and physically, Weimer now stands alone as the sole Powhatan runner representing the Indians at the VHSL Class 4 State Championships held at Liberty University on Feb. 28. Weimer’s interest in the sport starts at the beginning of the COVID-19 quarantine, when she decided to train in preparation for soccer season. Though it wasn’t love at first sight, Weimer quickly realized that she was actually pretty good at beating the goals she set up for herself, first starting with a goal of a sixminute mile then eventually heading down to a mile in less than 5:50. Once she began work-
ing with the coaches on the cross country team and evolving her training, she saw even more improvements in her pace. “I was mainly training on my own, running every day and just trying to be in shape, and then I started getting some really good training from the coaches and figuring out how to actually train instead of just going out and running whenever,” she said. After placing third in the 3200-meter dash at the Region 4B Indoor Championships with a time of 11 minutes, 47.42 seconds, Weimer’s remarkable performance has given her an opportunity to leave her mark on Powhatan track history after just a year with the team. Though she’ll compete on her own, it was the support and advice of her coaching staff and teammates that helped her build back her confidence and prepare physically for the rigors of the sport. As the season wore on, she grew more comfortable and confident in her abilities while also taking the necessary precautions, particularly with her hydration and diet leading up to races. Once she got on the line for regionals, she felt like a significantly more prepared competitor. “At regionals, I just kept thinking in my head that ‘oh you’ve prepared for this,’” she said. “Just telling myself positive things every day instead of focusing on the nega-

ish in her first competition. Another positive sign helping her through the season was the constant presence of fellow freshman Ella Green, who competes alongside Weimer in the 3200. The two runners have
known and competed with each other since middle school, and when Weimer started getting into running, Green was there as a source of friendly competition to help her continue her own development. “It feels comforting
when I’m racing knowing that I have one of my close friends running with me, and we can just kind of support each other throughout the whole thing,” Weimer said. With states quickly approaching, Weimer has see TRACK, pg. 3
Powhatan girls win senior night before postseason By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
In a senior night showdown against the Lloyd C. Bird Skyhawks, Powhatan’s senior class was able to celebrate not only their last home game as Indians, but also a crucial win that ended their regular season on a high note. Forwards Faith Henderson and Meghan Hodge and guard Kayla Terry were honored in a pregame ceremony before tip-off that saw them gather around midcourt with their families as well as a framed Powhatan jersey. In the 52-43 win, the Indians offense was firing on all cylinders against a
Skyhawks team that previously held them to just 24 points in a Powhatan loss on Jan. 11. This time, the Indians responded and played their brand of basketball, with Henderson leading the charge with 24 points. Henderson was coming off a 22-point performance in the team’s previous game against James River on Feb. 14. Her fellow senior Terry added 12 on the night, and with center Katherine Cerullo’s 10-point showing, the scoring attack was too much to handle for a Skyhawks team that ends their regular season with an 11-8 record. With the regular sea-
son all wrapped up, the Indians can now look back at what they’ve accomplished and also look ahead to a postseason schedule that positions them as the third seed in the 4B Regional Tournament. Facing the six-seed Mechanicsville Mustangs in the quarterfinals, Powhatan are in a significantly different position than they were a year ago. Last year, they proved to be a second half team that beat or nearly beat multiple teams that had their number early on in the season.

That result made him the only Powhatan swimmer to qualify for states.
Malkerson became the first Powhatan male swimmer since 2016 to qualify for states with his result. In his fifth place finish, he beat his 59.33-second seed time with a final time of 56.88 seconds. Chancellor sophomore Kyle Peck won the event outright with a convincing 49.36-second finish. Last season, Malkerson also finished fifth in the 100-yard freestyle, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, only the first four finishers of individual events were
able to qualify. The junior swimmer wouldn’t let his stellar season end early this time though, and his result allows him to represent his squad at the state finals.

Johnson wins states, Indians finish seventh By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
It’s not often a wrestler finds himself in an ultimate tiebreaker scenario that puts him in position to win a state title. For Powhatan senior Mitchell Johnson, he found himself fighting in not just one ultimate tiebreaker, but two of them. Johnson, holding a 25-2 record on the season, became Powhatan’s lone state champion on Feb. 19, winning the 195-pound bracket with four wins at the Virginia Beach Sports Center. His semifinal and final matchups proved to be arguably his biggest tests of the season, as both came down to multiple sudden death overtimes. Johnson kicked off his championship run with his only pin of the tournament, beating Deep Creek’s David Adjepong in just 39 seconds. From the quarterfinals on, Johnson was forced to endure a true gauntlet in order to put himself at the top of the podium, first going all three periods with Loudoun Valley’s Brendan Hartley. Neither Johnson nor Hartley could find any sort of advantage against each other, with the two going scoreless through the first three minutes. It wasn’t until the second period that Johnson finally captured the lead, gaining a single point thanks to an escape from Hartley’s attempts at a takedown. That point would be all Johnson would need, and he survived a tight contest and put himself forward in a semifinals matchup against Great Bridge senior Jared Williams that proved to be just as much of a struggle for points. Williams got the first points of the match in the second period, taking a 1-0 lead with an escape two minutes into the period. Johnson matched that point with an escape of his own in the third pe-

riod, tying things up with just over a minute left in regulation. In the first overtime period, Williams once again got ahead by one, this time getting a point off a penalty. In a Houdini-like fashion, Johnson once again proved to be an escape artist in the second overtime, getting out of Johnson’s clutches to tie the score up for a second time in the match. In the
final overtime period, Johnson finally got the lead, earning a single point in the ultimate tiebreaker that deems the first point in 30 seconds to be the deciding one. In his title-winning finals matchup with Dominion’s Jimenez Jacob, Johnson once again put his impressive escapability back on center stage. While he was playing down for the majority of the semifinals, Johnson
was the first to take the lead in the championship, recording yet another escape to take a 1-0 lead in the second period. Then, Jacob earned a penalty point later in the third period to even things out. The matchup would once again head to overtime, where the Powhatan senior won, of course, through a gamewinning escape. As a team, Powhatan brought nine wrestlers to
the state championship and finished seventh in team points among 50 schools. While Johnson was the only winner at the tournament, Powhatan also had senior Dylan Coward and freshman Luke Wells finish in fourth place in the 120 and 113-pound competitions. Coward finishes his final season as an Indian with a stellar 36-8 record,
while Wells kicks his own legacy off with a promising 18-4 record. For Wells’ run to the semifinals, he started things off with an opening round pin 23 seconds into the second period against Dominion’s Shane Maguire. In the quarterfinals against Amherst County freshman John Holmes, Wells led 4-0 with two takedowns before ending the match for good with a pin in 2:48. In the semifinals, Well’s run came to an end James Wood’s Colton Bendure, who won the matchup in a 3-2 decision thanks to a goahead takedown in the third period. For Coward, the senior standout lost his opening matchup in a thrilling 3-1 decision, but didn’t let that loss affect him in the consolation bracket. Coward ran through his competition in that side of the bracket, winning his next two matches by fall, one of which came just as the first period ended. In those two wins, he was leading before the pin by a combined score of 25-2. In his fourth match of the day against Spotsylvania’s Devin Burrows, Coward won a closer battle that went all three periods, beating his opponent in a 5-2 decision. In the consolation semifinals, Coward continued his quest for third place with a dramatic 3-1 sudden victory that saw him go to extra time with Great Bridge’s Max Martin. In the final, Coward’s impressive consolation run came up just short, as he fell in a 9-7 decision to Eastern View’s Elijah Smoot. With a strong close to the season at states, Powhatan’s wrestling team will look to replace the multiple senior wrestlers that helped build the program into one of the most dominant groups in the Dominion District.
Malkerson competes in 100-yard backstroke at state finals By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
Entering the VHSL Class 4 Swimming and Diving Championship on Feb. 18, Cole Malkerson’s mere presence at the state finals etched his name into Powhatan history. The junior swimmer has long been a top competitor for Powhatan’s swim program, but by becoming the first male swimmer in the school’s history to compete in states, he has put himself in a league of his own. Malkerson’s journey to this year’s state championship has been one that Powhatan fans have been keeping an eye on after he nearly made it last season with a fifth place finish in the regional competition for the 100-yard freestyle event. Competing in the 100yard backstroke competition with 22 swimmers from 18 different schools across the state at SwimRVA, Malkerson put in a solid effort and came away with 14th place in the event. Chancellor High School sophomore Kyle Peck won the back-
stroke event outright with a time of 48.13 seconds, 0.22 seconds off from the VHSL Class 4 record. Peck won the 4B 100 back competition as well. Malkerson’s time of 57.32 seconds was just off from his 56.88 time that earned him fifth place at the 4B Regional Swim Championships held at the same pool on Feb. 11. He easily beat his seed time heading into regionals though, which clocked in at 59.33 seconds, a two-second difference for the Powhatan star. In the preliminary races held early in the afternoon, Malkerson beat his seed time by a tenth of a second, finishing the 100yard race in 56.87 seconds. That result gave him 13th place among the 22 swimmers and placed him in the consolation bracket with seven other competitors. In the consolation bracket, Malkerson started things off with a solid first lap, swimming the pool in 27.83 seconds. In the last leg of the race, the Indians swim-
mer completed the final lap in 29.49 seconds to finish in sixth in the consolation bracket. Monacan senior Marc Macomson finished in first in the bracket with a completion time of 52.16 seconds. For the tournament as a whole, Western Albemarle’s boys team and Monacan’s girls team came out on top as the state champions, with Western Albemarle scoring 409 team points and Monacan scoring 316 points. Malkerson’s finish for the Indians gave the team 2.5 points in the competition, which helped them finish in 31st place out of 33 competing teams in the boys side of the competition. With Malkerson’s finish in states, the junior’s run to states closes another season for the rising Powhatan swimming and diving team that will look to add even more team members to the states competition next winter.

Middle school Indians fall short in championship game By Robby Fletcher
Jayden Goode started the Powhatan scoring off with a jumper, and his ability as a passer and ball-handler set the tone early. The four-point quarter can be attributed to Powhatan’s aggression defensively in the half court. Their on-ball defensive effort paved the way for multiple high-effort plays, as the team looked ready to dive for every loose ball if it meant taking home the
first place trophy. In the second quarter, Flippo’s scoring ability was on full display after an on-the-money outlet pass from forward Ben Whitver led to a Flippo layup and a Wyatt timeout with 3:51 left in the half. After the timeout, Flippo continued leading the charge, taking advantage of multiple trips to the free throw line as well as utilizing a flashy hop step to the
rim for a layup. Though a few Panthers buckets cut the lead down to five toward the end of the half, the Indians’ star player proved to be the difference early, as they went into the locker room holding a 1611 lead. In the third quarter, Wyatt came out fierce and motivated, forcing a tie just a minute into the half and eventually taking the lead with 3:37 left in the quar-
ter. It was a 9-0 run for the Panthers to start the half, and the Indians were left scrambling for answers with the momentum swinging directly in the Panthers’ favor. With just under 90 seconds left in the third, Powhatan finally settled things down and got on the board after two free throws from Flippo cut the Wyatt lead down to two. From there, the two
teams traded 3-pointers, one from Whitver, before Flippo took the ball coastto-coast for a game-tying score. Wyatt would take the lead back just before the end of the quarter, going into the fourth up 26-23. Powhatan recaptured the lead with four minutes left when Goode showed off a behind-the-back crossover then swung a pass to eighth grader Evan Sargent for two points. Flippo pushed the lead up to three with another tough lay-in with 3:52 left to play, but four quick points tied things up for the Panthers with 1:22 left to play. It was in those final possessions that Wyatt was able to hold on for the championship, despite an admirable effort from Powhatan. Though the season ended in a loss, it was a year filled with promise for the Indians, who will look to regroup next season with their eyes on getting back to the SMSC championship game.
to make her peers and the community cheering her on proud. Still, she has goals set that she plans to beat or come close to beating, just like her early days of running. What was once a goal to get a mile under six minutes has now evolved to something more ambitious: a Powhatan school record. With the school’s state record in the 3200 at 11:40, something she’s seven seconds off from beating based on her re-
gional time, Weimer’s looking to see if all the hard work will lead to a record-setting afternoon. “That’s my main goal coming into that is just to be able to either get really close to that or beat that,” she said. Regardless of the result at the state championship, she knows that this is just the start to a much bigger race that she’s confident in finishing.

SENIORS
James River were able to sweep the two-game season series against them. Against Manchester, Cosby and L.C. Bird, Powhatan was in full control in the matchups they won, beating those three by a combined 45 points. With the way the regional bracket shakes out, Powhatan has a chance at meeting up with Monacan for a third time this year, but that would have to come in the championship game. Powhatan’s playoff
opener with Mechanicsville will be just the second meeting between the two opponents this season, with the Indians winning the first match handily in a 63-45 shellacking on Feb. 10. With a trip to the semifinals on the line against the winner of the Matoaca and Hanover matchup, Powhatan will have a huge opportunity to continue playing the brand of winning basketball that has been so prevalent during their 2021-22 campaign.

Down two with an open look in the corner, Powhatan Middle School’s boys basketball team was just inches away from a buzzer-beating bucket that would’ve given them the Southside Middle School Conference title, but it was not meant to be as the undefeated Wyatt Panthers took home the championship trophy, 32-30. Led by eighth grade forward Ryan Flippo’s 19 points, the Indians led the game by four with just under four minutes left to play, but a go-ahead floater with nine seconds put the Panthers up on top for good. Behind Flippo’s solid scoring performance was guard Jayshaun Morris with six points. It was a low-scoring affair to start things off for both sides, as the two teams went into the second quarter in just a 6-4 game, with Powhatan leading early.

gotten her preparation in all aspects down to a form of consistent habit. The pressures of making Powhatan County and all of her teammates proud have been prevalent, she said, but she’s constantly reminding herself of the work ethic and battles she’s faced to get where she is today. Going into that 3200 race, she’s content knowing that her best efforts will be more than enough

And the teams that did beat them, they still generally took advantage of the second matchup. Of the five teams that beat the Indians this season, only Monacan and

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, 268-1, 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, 39-64A, 3984, 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, 41C1-10, 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, 41C-2-7, 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, 42E1-1, 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, 4324, 43-24B, 43-28A, 43-28B, 43-34, 43-C-4-2. 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 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. Resolution R-2022-05 Grant of an Easement To Luck Stone Corporation: The Board of Supervisors will consider the conveyance of an access easement on County-owned property at 2040 Anderson Highway, tax map parcel 42-7G, known as the Dutoy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, to Luck Stone Corporation, by way of Right-of-Way Easement Agreement. Said easement is necessary for Luck Stone to connect their quarry known as the Powhatan Plant, to a nearby industrial users in the South Creek development. Granting of said easement will facilitate many of the trucks currently transporting materials between the two locations, to do so utilizing an internal private road, rather than the public roads, as is currently the only option. Members of the public may also participate remotely by joining a webinar at https://us02web. zoom.us/j/83998792911 or by dialing in by phone at 1-929-205-6099 OR 1-312-626-6799, then typing in the webinar ID 839 9879 2911.
