Supervisors mull future of social services board By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently found itself weighing in on the issues of another local board and will now be considering the future of how that group will function moving forward. Two heavily debated topics at the supervisors’ Feb. 28 meeting related to the makeup and duties of the Powhatan County Social Services Board. The supervisors needed to appoint two members to the social services board, and new members Connie Thompson and Lynne LaPierre were chosen. Their appointments came after the first person nominated, thenchair Mike Smith, failed to be reappointed. His nomination failed in a 2-3 vote, with David Williams, District 1, and Bill Cox, District 4, voting for him. Chair Mike Byerly, District 3, Steve McClung, District 2, and Karin Carmack, District 5, voted against. The discussion about the past, present and future circumstances of the social services board actually started during the board appointments and then contin-
ued on as its own agenda item, a lengthy debate about whether to proceed with a move to change the social services board from administrative to an advisory board. The board ultimately voted 3-2 in favor of moving forward with consideration of the change and holding a public hearing at the supervisors’ March 28 meeting to allow citizens to weigh in on the matter. Williams and Cox voted against. The decision to move forward with a public hearing was also a rejection of a request by the voting social services board members (Carmack is a non-voting member) to hold a workshop to discuss the issue with them before proceeding with a public hearing. While the social services board’s recent history has been complicated, some of the problems brought up surrounding the board within the last few weeks included communication errors among them and staff; criticism of former director Sharon Rochelle; board members’ attendance issues; questions about whether the board was fulfilling its full duties; the department’s overall performance, and whether Powhatan citizens would be better served having an advisory or administrative board in place.
Social services board
The five-member administrative social services board is charged with learning about social services’ many programs, partnerships and initiatives “designed to embrace, engage, educate and empower our citizens and neighbors,” according to its handbook. The board also is supposed to be involved in strategic and financial planning and monitoring, personnel and workforce management, programs and services, community events, fundraising, branding and marketing. During the last social services board meeting held Tuesday, Feb. 22, then-chair Mike Smith and fellow board member Neil Stout raised several concerns about recent happenings revolving around the board. Smith, who did a great deal of research on several issues between the board’s January and February meetings, raised many concerns. Among them was total confusion about when the four-year terms of board members ended, with several members with time to serve being told incorrectly that their term had ended, as well as vacant positions going unfilled. Smith put the see SOCIAL SERVICES, pg. 3

Powhatan County recently launched a new tourism website.
By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – A grassroots effort is trying to gain momentum to bring a permanent senior center to the county to improve life in Powhatan for older generations. The recently formed Senior Action Committee of Powhatan held a town hall meeting on Sunday, Feb. 27 to address the issues they have found are needs in Powhatan that could promote and support healthy aging and to suggest possible ways forward. About 45 people attended the event at the Village Building. The committee, which is made up of volunteers interested in senior issues, was formed to define and understand the needs of the aging population and to advocate for more services and a permanent space to deliver those services, said Judy Cain-Oliver, a local licensed clinical psychologist who helped start the ac-
tion committee. She pointed out that the 2020 U.S. Census identified 17% of Powhatan County’s population as seniors, which is slightly above the national senior population of about 16.5%. According to national statistics, nearly one fifth of the U.S. population will be 65 and older by 2030, she added. The purpose of the town hall was not to tell local seniors there is an issue and present a definite solution but to identify what problems exist and try to find a way to solve them together, Cain-Oliver said. “I want you to think of a piece of string. Each of us is a piece of string – each of us has a usefulness and a strength about us,” she said. “But now think about a piece of tapestry. If you weave all those threads together, you can create something very beautiful, very strong, very meaningful. And that is what I think we can do here.

Elementary students read their way across America By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – Powhatan’s three elementary schools took a nod from Read Across America’s title this year for their theme, encouraging students to explore the nation through the written word. The national program that aims to get students excited about reading is traditionally associated with Dr. Seuss, since it is usually centered on the March 2 birthday of author Theodor Seuss Geissel. But while there was plenty of Seuss fun to be found see READ, pg. 6 PHOTO BY LAURA McFARLAND

blame on county staff for not keeping better track of the board members’ service dates. Most of the board was not aware that Rochelle had taken a position with the Virginia Department of Social Services, overseeing the district that includes Powhatan, until its Jan. 25 meeting, which was three weeks after the fact, Smith pointed out. He said Rochelle sent an email earlier in the month to the former board chair saying it was her last week and that she had named Meghan Carroll the acting director. Smith did not indicate the information was shared with other members. One of the social services board’s current functions is to hire a director from a state-approved pool of candidates. At that meeting, the board scheduled a meeting on Feb. 25 to start reviewing resumes. Smith also brought up the termination of an employee in January 2020, saying the employee was terminated one day before the matter was brought to the board for approval. Nor was the board told the former employee filed a grievance and a settlement was reached. Stout said he was told by Rochelle at the end of 2021 that there were cases that were not being handled properly. Despite assurances from social services staff members at the Feb. 22 meeting that Rochelle might have been speaking in the past tense about former problems that had been addressed and asserting the department’s cases are audited every month, Stout insisted on requesting a full state case and financial audit. That decision passed in a 3-1 vote. Carmack said at the social services meeting that there was enough finger-pointing to go around the whole board and they couldn’t put all the blame for everything on one person. She argued that the board members had all received training on their duties, should be regularly communicating with the director, and could be responsible for keeping track of their own terms in their positions. She added that, from her perspective, they had already fallen into an advisory rather than an administrative role. Williams and Byerly attended the Feb. 22 meeting as observers but did not speak. Appointments During the board appointment discussion on Feb. 28, Williams commended Smith for how he stepped up in January to lead the social services board and the research he did to look into the issues he laid out at the Feb. 22 meeting. Williams outlined many of the same issues Smith brought out at the supervisors meeting. He described the social services board as now being an engaged board and said they want an opportunity to go forward. Based on her two years as a non-voting member on the social services board, Carmack opposed Smith’s reappointment. Her argument focused on his attendance record, showing that in his four years on the social services board, he missed about a one third of meetings each year, depending on the number held. She also made the point that after going back through records and old board of supervisors meetings videos from 2018, she could not find proof that the board ever formally appointed him to the social services board, which didn’t come to light until the last few weeks.

Carmack agreed with Williams that Smith has been engaged since Jan. 25, but said prior to that he was not based on her observations and comments from employees. Byerly agreed that while Smith has been engaged since January, it was alarming to hear someone appointed to a board would regularly miss more than 30% of meetings. After the vote for Smith failed 2-3, Connie Thompson was voted unanimously as a new social services board member. Lynne LaPierre was then voted into the second open slot in a 4-1 vote. Williams voted against, but made it clear before the vote he was doing so symbolically because of what happened with the issues Smith raised and not because he doubted she would do a good job. Administrative vs. advisory The discussion about changing the social services board from administrative to advisory started during the appointments, and the supervisors spent another 20 minutes discussing the issue as its own agenda item. County administrator Ned Smither gave a brief introduction to the topic, going over the duties the board is responsible for regardless of whether it is administrative or advisory. The change with going to advisory, he said, is deciding if the social services staff would be better able to do their jobs by staying with the same administrative board or having them report to county staff with guidance from an advisory board. “Social services is our third largest budget in the county and a vital part of services offered to our citizens,” he pointed out. Earlier in the evening, Carmack had also emphasized the importance of the social services board, saying the “administrative role for the social services board is very critical.” “They have the same authority as the board of supervisors and the school board,” she said. “In fact, the board of supervisors really have no authority over social services whatsoever. They are not elected or directly held accountable to the citizens of this county.” Cox advocated for the workshop requested by the social services board, saying he felt there was some value in hearing from them to help him make a decision. Byerly said he was not interested in that but was in favor of the public hearing at the March 28 meeting and hearing if citizens thought it would be a good or bad move. “To me, one way or another, it is a matter of what is the best thing for the citizens in this county, what is the best thing for the citizens that this department serves,” he said. Williams questioned the impetus for this decision, saying he wasn’t on the social services board but hadn’t heard legitimate reasons for the need to make a change. As the non-voting member, Carmack said she had observed issues with attendance for several social services board members and a lack of communication among board members. She also felt they were not fulfilling their administrative duties, so if the supervisors want to keep them in that role, they need to be better trained and possibly agree to let the new director take on more of their assigned duties, she argued. Going back to the argument about attendance numbers Carmack made earlier, McClung agreed it is a

board member’s duty to attend meetings. Williams agreed with the attendance issue, but went back to arguing that they needed to know more about what happened without the social services board’s knowledge. He said “highly irregular” things had happened and reiterated the need for a state audit. Williams and then Cox again argued for a workshop with the social services board. However, the board still voted 3-2 to move the discussion forward to a full consideration with public hearing on March 28.

Ukrainian family in Powhatan leans on faith, each other By Lyndon German
Richmond Times-Dispatch
POWHATAN — Mila Demchyk Savage’s 11-year-old son Eli broke the news to their family on Feb. 24. He said he woke up to his alarm at 5 a.m. and heard the news after watching YouTube videos showing missiles firing into parts of Eastern Europe. “I couldn’t believe it,” Eli said. “I thought it was like a nightmare or something.” Eli then woke up his fa-
ther, Troy, his mother and his 65-year-old grandmother, Polina, who’d come to visit the family in January from Ukraine with plans to leave in March or April. But, “it looks like she’s stuck here for a while,” Mila said. Mila, 41, is the mother of three children and lives in Powhatan. She immigrated to the United States after meeting her husband, who was visiting Odessa, Ukraine, studying the region. She said the two met and married in 2008. They lived in Ukraine for three years before com-

So Hey everyone my name is Pretzel, and I am currently in the market to purchase a home. With the housing market booming right now, I figured it would be a great time to reach out to you and see if you are currently looking for a roommate. I don’t have money, but I can give you all the love, kisses, hugs, and snuggles you want. My “realtors” here have done everything to find me a home, but they aren’t having any luck. If you are the type of family who have guest over, I am your ideal roommate as I love to greet people with a smile, and I am quite entertaining. I would be happy to play tug of war, or maybe play ball. So pick up the phone right now before I have another offer. I look forward to meeting you. If you are interested in giving Pretzel his forever home, Please contact us at 804-598-5672, and we will be happy to assist you in scheduling a meet and greet.

ing to the U.S. The family often takes trips during the summer to Kyiv and her family’s summer home in the village outside Vinnytsia. Their last trip was in 2018, Eli said. Little did they know, that trip to Ukraine could have been their last. Mila said in the weeks prior to Russia’s invasion, her husband was monitoring online forums hinting toward an attack planned by Russian President Vladimir Putin. After the initial shock from the news, she said she still doesn’t believe it makes sense. Mila said, translating her mother’s native Ukrainian, that when her mom left the country no one was expecting this. They were all just living their lives. “My husband kept saying, ‘He’s gonna attack, he’s going to attack!’” Mila said. “And I’m like stop drilling my brain, I mean, it doesn’t make sense to attack, even now, you know, like, it doesn’t make sense.” The conflict is affecting people such as Mila, who has been on back-andforth phone calls with her father, siblings and extended family, who are all struggling to find ways to avoid potential conflict. She said they’ve been hiding above and below ground as the sound of air sirens echo above them. Mila’s mother checks the news on Facebook and social media nearly every minute, scrolling through images of decimated buildings — one of the hundreds of churches scattered all over the country — and videos of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. She said it’s been overwhelming. Her mother, who is tough as nails, has been emotional in calls with family over the phone and almost wishes she was in Ukraine now to help everyone.
SHABAN ATHUMAN / RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH
Mila Demchyk Savage (left) sat with her mother, Polina Demchyk, and son, Eli Savage recently at their home in Powhatan. Polina arrived in January from Ukraine to visit the family and is supposed to return home in March. “It looks like she’s stuck here for a while,” Mila said.
“My mom is very stressed, like we haven’t slept two nights in a row,” Mila said. “And not to mention I have a baby who wakes up all the time.” Mila, her siblings and her mother endured several years of conflict in Ukraine. Her mother overcame a Soviet-era regime and she herself participated in a series of protests in the country in 2004, decrying a democratic election riddled with corruption known as the Orange Revolution. Mila said she’s also balancing organizing fundraisers through the Americans in Ukraine Foundation, which she founded in 2014 during the Russian annexation of Crimea. She said she’s been helping local battalions receive funds for purchasing equipment. “When I talked to the battalion today, he told me where they are and I know that’s where I paraglide,” Mila said, remembering some of the activities she did when she was younger. “I mean, it just doesn’t make sense. And then when my brother calls and he talks about whether they should go to Vinnytsia or should they go to the western Ukraine? What should they do, because they also have friends…
it’s just surreal.” A few days after the initial shock on Feb. 24, Mila said her national pride and belief that they will overcome this conflict had not wavered. “I think people need to understand, being a Russian neighbor means you need to be in a constant state of war,” Mila said, recalling a story reported in the Washington Post about a group of Ukrainian border guards defending — also known as Snake Island — in the Black Sea. The Washington Post reports that as Russian warships arrived in the Black Sea they ordered the Ukrainian guards to lay down their arms. The guards can be heard in an audio clip responding, “Go f- — yourself.” The Russians opened fire, eventually killing the 13 border guards. Still, it’s the acts of resistance that keep Mila going. She’s working hard to keep in touch with over 50 relatives and friends still in Ukraine and believes her country will prevail, with help from the West like her neighbors in the Richmond area. “You can think that your neighbor’s problem is not your problem, but eventually, I mean, the

conflict in Ukraine is going to reach everyone,” Mila said. Mila was trying to connect with other Ukrainian immigrants in the area for a mass prayer via Zoom. She said when her family lived in the Hampton Roads area, there was a large network of support for people from the country and she’s hoping to build the same network of support in Richmond. Ultimately, she and her family believe Ukraine will not fall and she will one day relive the memories she had as child of paragliding in the hills of Kyiv, raising cows in the village of Mervyn, looking out over the Black sea and visit the country again with her son Eli, whose Ukrainian pride has grown even more. “I’ve kind of been worrying less,” Eli said. “The first day was looking kind of bad for Ukraine, but [the] second day, it’s looking pretty good. I keep telling myself that Ukraine is gonna win the war with that and not be stressed as much.” Eli’s grandmother, or babusya in Ukrainian, believes that if the West won’t help, Ukrainians will find a way to help themselves.

Ball said she appreciates that the new theme incorporates geography and encourages curiosity about other places. The goal of this year’s theme is to “learn a little bit more about the other states in the country and the history of the United States, because a lot of these are historical fiction.

In addition to the state theme, Flat Rock still had a blast with their beloved Dr. Seuss, Terry said. The school had Dr. Seuss dress up days, such as Lorax Day on March 1, which saw students wearing orange and a mustache; Cat in the Hat Day on March 2, where students wore stovepipe hats, dressed like Cat in the Hat or wore a hat of their choosing; Character Dress-up Day on March 3, where students dressed as their favorite storybook character, and Thing 1/Thing 2 Day- Twin Day on March 4, where students dressed like twins. “I find it fascinating to see how creative students, families, and staff are when it comes to designing their cos-

Volunteer mental health professionals are needed to staff the expanded behavioral health programs offered by the Free Clinic of Powhatan. Psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and counselors are needed for adult patients at the
tumes each day. Students often tell me how exciting it was to have family members help them create, design, and then dress-up in their costumes before heading to school,” Terry said. Pocahontas Elementary librarian Tiffany Ray said Friday that she had several students hand in their reading logs already and she is happy with the participation so far. “I have older students visiting the library daily to read the books on display,” she said. “I have also had several students say that they want to read ALL 51 books. I sure hope they do!” Pocahontas Elementary typically embraces Read Across America with a staff-led, Seuss-themed production. The annual program was done virtually for the second year, with staff recording it and making it available to students. They hope to be live again next year, Ray said.

Schools go the extra mile to engage students By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
I
t’s not uncommon to hear analogies about education as a way to bring light into darkness. So it seemed incredibly appropriate to have the first sight I witnessed as I came into the Powhatan Elementary School Fourth Grade Living Wax Museum be that of a tiny Harriet Tubman holding a lantern and telling her story to a smaller child about leading people to freedom through the darkness. With masks now optional and schools loosening social distancing restrictions related to COVID-19, I have been making a concentrated effort to reach out to our schools about covering interesting projects, activities and performances they’re having or asking them to submit content. I spend hour upon hour many weeks sitting in meetings held by the Powhatan County School Board and listening to them discuss policies, budgets and programs, usually from a highlevel perspective. It’s usually informative and important, but it’s not personal and it doesn’t capture everything that is happening in our schools. It’s personal to visit the schools and see our county’s amazing students, teachers and staff in action. So that is what I’ve been endeavoring to do. While I truly believe all of our schools are doing an amazing job, for the purpose of this column it worked out that the last few weeks I found myself returning repeatedly to Powhatan Elementary School. In one instance, the aforementioned wax museum, I was invited to a project specifically put on by that school’s fourth grade classes. In the other two instances, I went to cover events that all three elemen-
tary schools were participating in, but, because of timing and availability, it worked out best to visit that particular school and ask the other two schools to send me additional content so I could still represent them, which they graciously agreed to do. So I while want to give a big Thank You to Powhatan Elementary School (PES) for letting me come out and see some of the fantastic work students are doing, I am extending a huge kudos to Flat Rock and Pocahontas as well. I know they all do a fabulous job of engaging their young charges. To say that I was impressed by the Living Wax Museum would be a gross understatement. I had a general idea of what to expect when I was invited to the event, but the students went beyond my expectations. For those of you who missed the story, the entire fourth grade class was challenged to read a biography from the “Who Was” book series about a famous person, living or dead, and draw a portrait, create a poster board display, and write an essay. But to take it a step further, they dressed up as their person and acted as the figures in a wax museum that could come to life to speak to visitors –in this case the entire school rotating through the museum. The portraits were all well beyond my limited artistic skills. The poster boards were a lovely mix of information and artwork. The costumes, which obviously had some help from adults at home, were a fantastic touch but they still did not outshine the students as they read their essays confidently and smoothly. I loved how the fourth graders talked about their nervousness at performing for the fifth graders, who are so much older than them, and then not long after, I got to witness one of the students portraying Babe
Ruth kneel to do his presentation for one of the youngest students so he wasn’t looming over him. The project felt like it truly brought in an excellent cross of disciplines, and I am so happy they shared it with me so I could share some of it with our readers through the story as well as pictures and videos on the Powhatan Today Facebook page. Then last week, I found myself back at the elementary school on two consecutive days. On Thursday, I was there to do the story you see on Page 1A about this year‘s Read Across America activities. Seeing the traditional Dr. Seuss performances, artwork and activities is always a treat, but I really liked this year‘s emphasis on the title of the program, which saw the children encouraged to read books about the 50 states. I appreciated looking at the list of books and seeing this project probably exposed all of Powhatan’s elementary school children to topics and places they might not normally gravitate toward. As someone who loves to travel and has done some of those travels only in my mind through the written word, I could truly appreciate this year’s theme. As I took photos in the PES library Thursday, I watched a fifth grade girl pick “Let the Children March” by Monica Clark-Robinson, exclaiming when she saw the familiar name of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When she was finished, the found Alabama on the Read Across America recording sheet and colored in the state. I looked through the list to see what else children might be reading about. For Delaware, “High Tide for Horseshoe Crabs” by Lisa Kahn Schnell introduces readers to the life cycle of the horseshoe crab, see SCHOOLS, pg. 8
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Creating a senior center can help people age gracefully Dear Editor, I am advocating for a Senior Center – a permanent place for Powhatan seniors to gather as a group. We are not getting old. These days, we are what’s referred to as “aging strong.” Part of the aging strong concept is to stay healthy, in body and in spirit. At Community Matters, we often talk to one another about what it means to grow older. We do so much more than play Bingo, although it is one of the favorites. We have discussions about many topics such as brain health and our sleep patterns. Yes, our grand and great-grandchildren, how to navigate the internet and more, but none more important than advocating for a place we can call our own. Somewhere to go. There have been times during our weekly get together that we’ve had experts in geriatrics confirm what we know. We know what it means to us to be able to come together as seniors to learn and play together. We know we need to keep our bodies strong and our brains active. We know we need that social interaction. What we don’t know is why we can’t depend on the community in which we raised our families, and in which we cultivated years-long friendships, to recognize that we need a Senior Center. We need somewhere to go. When you walk into Wendy’s or the County Seat, for example, during the weekday, pay attention. You often see a group of seniors there for lunch. Most would tell you they are there for two reasons, to have lunch and to enjoy the company of one another. They needed somewhere to go. When you go into Food Lion or Walmart and you see a senior walking around with two items in their cart, it’s a good bet they are there shopping for two reasons. They might need food or medicine, of course, but often the second (and sometimes most important) reason is they are there because it’s somewhere to go. At our doctors’ appointments, our physical bodies are assessed and sometimes the doctor will ask about our mental health. We talk to him or her about how we feel physically. Most times, the doctor will stress the importance of social interaction, to not sit at home but to find something to do to exercise our bodies and our brains and to get out more and find
somewhere to go. Community leaders seem to hear us but do not listen. Perhaps their family members are not in need of such services… yet. They might brush aside the thought until later. Later is not a term a senior needs to hear. Don’t be too busy to recognize that we are still viable and valuable members of this community and we are growing in numbers, rapidly. We just need somewhere to go. Many of us volunteer our time at the food pantry, at our churches, for hospice, for Meals on Wheels, the Coalition of Churches, etc. for this community. We enjoy the interaction with others, helping others, giving back to our community. What a wonderful thing it would be to see our community support us by providing us with somewhere to go. We are your mothers, fathers, grandmothers, often life-long residents. We want to lead productive, healthy lives. We want to be independent. We want to have fun. We want to serve our community and we want to embrace aging with grace for as long as we are able. We want somewhere to go. I never cared for term “old people,” preferring “seniors” instead. Now, I am one. If only we had someplace to go. Jackie Hatcher Powhatan County
Freedom to discuss racial history being threatened Dear Editor, I am writing to share my concern with how dialogue about race and our schools has devolved over the past several months. Since the May 2020 murder of George Floyd, there grew from anger a multi-racial shared desire by many to deliberately engage in learning and discussion about racial history. Locally the Powhatan Anti-Racism Coalition grew as participants studied history with a wider lens, including black history that had been deliberately omitted in earlier school curricula and general awareness. I have learned a whole lot through readings and multi-racial discussions about racial matters during this time. Over the past year the term Critical Race Theory, even though few opponents have even defined it, has been falsely publicized as some systemic educational evil. This has fanned flames of opposition transformed into political gamesmanship toward intimidating and stop-

ping ANY healthy discussion of race and racial history. What disturbs me most is how extreme this reaction to racial history and dialogue has become. We have the governor hoping parents will tattle on teachers through email to him, and the superintendent of public instruction “whitewashing” state education diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. But most appalling was a bill that passed the House of Delegates, HB787, that would have actually criminalized teachers who may have engaged in historical discussions that were controversial or “inherently divisive,” perhaps even challenging student thinking. Teaching ideas that make students think about challenging topics could be easily construed as “promoting and encouraging such individuals to adopt or believe such a concept,” in violation of the law. Yes, from this bill a parent could file a criminal charge against a teacher for this without even having a discussion with the teacher, principal or school board! As a fellow career educator, I am disappointed that our delegate, Lee Ware, voted in favor of HB787, but thankful that Senator Ghazala Hashmi voted against this bill going to the full Senate. Those who cherish our freedoms should be alarmed at this new era of “cancel culture” and attempted thought control embedded in this proposed law. We can be better than this! Teachers want students to learn to think for themselves! Let’s support, not villainize our teachers! Mike Asip Powhatan County
Ignoring struggling students doesn’t eliminate problems Dear Editor, Sally Shaywitz, MD, says “Dyslexia is highly prevalent. It affects one in five and represents 80% to 90% of all LEARNING DISABILITIES.” There are also many non-academic, social and emotional realities, which further complicate a dyslexic child’s life. Dyslexia is considered the “hidden disability,” because it can be easily missed in young children.

Exhibit explores history of educating black children in Powhatan CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS AND PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND
The Powhatan African American Cultural Arts Museum opened a new exhibit in February called ‘The History of Pocahontas School.’ The exhibit is located at the Pocahontas Landmark Center at 4920 Anderson Highway. The Powhatan Branch NAACP held two weekend walk-thru events at the end of February to encourage people to visit the free event. The exhibit will be open for several more weeks. The lobby is open when the gymnasium is in use. If staff is present, people can also buzz at the front door to be let into the lobby.

“We have a lot of individual programs that are going on in the county right now, so our mission is not to supplant any of those, to replace them; it is to make them a collective force, to bring them together, and that is what the tapestry would look like,” she continued. An important lesson that was emphasized even more during the COVID-19 pandemic was that isolation can be harmful, especially in large doses, to a person’s mental and physical wellbeing. People need other people and they need a purpose, said Anna Stone, who helps with the action committee and is a Community Matters volunteer. Rather than presenting what a senior center in Powhatan should look like, Stone focused her portion of the presentation on what senior centers in other lo-

with a focus on the annual massspawning event at Delaware Bay. For Michigan, “The Trees of the Dancing Goats” by Patricia Polacco tells the story of a Jewish family decorating Christmas trees for their neighbors, a Christian family who is sick with scarlet fever and can’t decorate for their holiday. Here I will point out that if the library could not get a copy of all of the books, they had an interactive Google map where students could access either digital copies or videos where the book was read to them. I
calities offer and how that could apply to Powhatan. The message, she said, in looking at what these other localities have created is to embrace the motto, “What has been done can be done, therefore it will be done here in Powhatan.” Senior centers could have a variety of uses that make it a lively, action-packed and stimulating environment for local seniors so they can stay vibrant, healthy and independent, Stone said. Using examples of senior centers in localities that are both larger and smaller than Powhatan, she pointed out how they can be created to suit the needs of the community they serve. Some potential program offerings of a senior center could include exercise, crafts and activities, cards and games, social events, educational opportunities, health checks and organized trips, Stone said. It can also be
a centralized place to access information on resources aimed at helping seniors stay healthy, safe and independent, such as support groups, help with their taxes or classes on how to use the internet. She also added that a senior center is not only a place where seniors can receive services but give back, pointing out that community engagement could involve helping fellow seniors or programs with local youth or others in the community. The group handed out a survey to gauge interest from those in attendance about the need for a senior center and what kind of offerings they would want if one was built. A paper copy of the survey can be filled out and left at the Powhatan County Public Library for those who want to provide input. The group also asked those interested in promoting this idea to attend the Pow-
hatan County Board of Supervisors meeting on March 28, when the Senior Action Committee will be giving a presentation to the members. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. Two supervisors who were not with the group but attended the town hall were chair Mike Byerly, District 3, and Karin Carmack, District 5. They both expressed support for the need to pay more attention to seniors’ needs since they are a growing segment of the county. Several people throughout the meeting also urged those in the community – not just seniors but their children, their neighbors, their friends – to rally behind the need for a permanent senior center, pointing out if they are living they are aging, so they all have a vested interest in paying attention to this need.

mention this because I saw the video with Ms. Polacco, who not only reads the book but gives additional context about the story as it happened to her family and even draws parallels to what students have just experienced during the pandemic. The final visit on Friday was to see one of the school division’s STEM Days in action. Each year, the division’s STEM coaches plan a STEM Day for every grade level. Last year, I had the opportunity to see first graders learning about motion and sound waves during their STEM Day. When I arrived at PES last week, the students
were just starting a project where they identified different types of soil by studying their characteristics and drawing them. The lessons were aimed at understanding the important role soil plays in the ecosystem. Just before I got there, the students were studying earth worms and the roles they play, which I was OK missing. After the soil identification with loose soil provided to them in petri dishes, classes went outside and dug holes of their own with gardening spades. While they were digging, they were instructed to draw the different layers they found, starting with the
grass and on down into different types of soil. It was great to hear the excitement in their voices as they exclaimed they had found a worm or a seedling and showed their discovery proudly to their teacher or one of the STEM coaches who came to help. It was also wonderful to see the students work on their observational skills and engage in the natural world on a slightly chilly but overall beautiful sunny day. It’s always delightful to see them come into the light.

for Skill Taught and Needing Support? If so, your child is probably not proficient and has not yet mastered the academic subject material at their grade level. I applaud all students who have excelled and done well; my concern is for those who struggle and who might be “falling through the cracks,” because of a “learning difference” such as dyslexia that has been overlooked. It is a problem when teachers, in an effort to boost their students’ self-esteem, lower expectations and standards, and inflate grades. This only gives students an “illusion of success” and a false sense of academic accomplishment. This “smoke and mirrors” approach, and other forms of “trickery,” are of little benefit and prove to be quite detrimental later on. Many teachers feel students with “learning differences” shouldn’t be challenged for fear they’ll fail, further damaging their already fragile self-esteem. I disagree. Dyslexics who acquire executive function skills tend to compensate well for their deficiencies. They are responsible and persevere. They acquire grit, which is one of the keys to success. I was diagnosed with dyslexia in 1962, at the age of 8. I attended and graduated from Germantown Academy (G.A.), Fort Washington, PA. (Class of ‘73) G.A. is one of the finest, private, college prep schools in the country. I lived by our school’s motto, “By Persevering We Shall See the Fruits.” Now, as a tutor, most of my students, along with their parents’ strong support, follow this tenet and also attain academic success.
Parents don’t let anyone use your child’s “learning difference” as an excuse to accept second best. Parents are the first line of defense for their struggling student. They must develop excellent parenting skills and accept responsibility for their child’s education. Parents raising a child with special needs takes a tremendous amount of time, energy and patience. Some parents may need to hire a tutor, while others may need to enlist the help of a psychologist for counseling. The primary task of those involved with educating students is to help them learn; not to judge whether they can or can’t. All must feel that these children can change and can learn; that the efforts expended will enable them to become better human beings, able to function competently in a modern society. Central to any special education program should be the concept that all children are valuable; further, it is imperative to make every child a part of human society rather than an outsider.

tection of Virginia’s environment. Yet, for the third year in a row, Green Ridge and their affiliates made the bill all about them and the proposed mega landfill in Cumberland County. It is time for our delegates and senators to wake up and remember we have only one environment and have a responsibility to protect it – this includes protecting our water supply. There are many things that affect our water supply that we do not have control over such as climate change, floods and earthquakes. We need to preserve what we have! Protecting private wells is a concern for all Virginians – not just one locality. The Virginia Department of Health website reports the majority of households in 60 of Virginia’s 95 counties are dependent on private wells. The number of households connecting to private wells is increasing faster than those connecting to public water supply systems. However, there is no protection for private wells as there is for public water. Yet, it is a known fact, all landfills leak increasing the potential for contaminating Virginian’s water supply. Thank you Delegate Ware and Senator Hashmi for proposing these changes. Unfortunately, the bill was tabled and did not get out of sub-committee. Perhaps someday those responsible for approving these types of changes will see the need – just hope and pray our lawmakers wake up in time! DO YOUR PART – HELP PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT!!!!

Girls basketball falls in state quarterfinals By Robby Fletcher Sports editor
Traveling to King’s Fork High School for a matchup with the Bulldogs felt like uncharted territory for Powhatan in their first ever appearance in the VHSL Class 4 state tournament. Although they fought hard, their season came to an end with a 7152 loss. The quarterfinals matchup ends a strong season for the Indians, led by head coach Kristy Henderson, who finished with a 17-9 record. It was the last game in a Powhatan uniform for three seniors: Faith Henderson, Meghan Hodge and Kayla Terry. “It’s been an honor and a pleasure watching these three seniors grow up and become terrific young women,” coach Henderson said. “I’m thankful for their commitment to our basketball program.” Henderson, who leaves the program as the alltime scoring leader, ended her historic run as one of Powhatan’s best with a 20-point performance. Terry, who is set to continue playing basketball at the University of Lynchburg, added five points. Sophomore Katherine Cerullo added 12 points behind Henderson. “It’s been such a blessing to be able to make it this far, especially to states for the first time in our history,” Terry said. The Bulldogs proved to be a tough assignment for the Indians thanks to their athletic and deep backcourt and a dominant interior presence in center Kiana Brittain. Defensively, they are a hounding, high-pressure team that mixed full court and half court pressure that stifled Powhatan late in the see BASKETBALL, pg. 3
The 2021-22 season may have been senior Mitchell Johnson’s first full season with Powhatan wrestling, but he cemented himself into program history with an epic run through the 195-pound bracket of the VHSL Class 4 State Championship to claim the team’s lone state title. In his four matches during the tournament, three of them were decided by two points or less, including multiovertime battles in the semifinal and championship matches. “We knew it was going to be tight matches, we didn’t know it was going to be that close,” head coach Jonathan Tanaka said.

Weimer nearly beats personal record in 3200 states run By Robby Fletcher Sports editor
As the lone Powhatan indoor track runner to compete in the VHSL Class 4 State Championships, freshman Elizabeth Weimer honored her team and community with a promising performance in the 3200-meter run to end the team’s season. Competing at the Liberty University Indoor Track Complex on March 1, Weimer was two seconds off her own personal record when she finished with a time
of 12:09.81, good for 15th place. Her record was set at the 59th East Coast Invitational at the Virginia Beach Sports Center on Feb. 5. Jamestown’s Caroline Bauer won the 3200 state title with a convincing 10:32.75 result that was 14 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Alli Crytser from Hanover. This wasn’t Weimer’s first time running at Liberty this season, as she competed in the Bulldog Invitational on Jan. 29. In that race, she finished with a 12:12.70 time. Now with states fin-

epic end-of-season run. In her last games in an Indians uniform, senior guard Kayla Terry has been one of them, saving some of her best basketball for the postseason. In the regional tournament, Terry was instrumental in the team’s run to the final, scoring in double digits in all three playoff games, including a team-high 19 points in the team’s 61-52 win over Matoaca in the semifinals.
In senior Faith Henderson’s earlygame absence in the tournament opener, Terry also was second in scoring with 12 points, seven of which came in a tight fourth quarter that saw the Indians pull away with a 49-40 comeback victory. She capped off the tournament with another strong outing against Eastern View, adding 11 points in a close threepoint loss.

Powhatan freshman becoming a star behind the wheel By Robby Fletcher Sports editor
When Trey Williams was 8 years old, he fell in love with racing. After seeing an Arena Racing USA event held at the Richmond Coliseum with his father Ray, also an avid fan of motorsports, he was blown away by the art of driving and the thrill that came with it. Now 15 years old and a freshman at Powhatan High School, Trey has become a driving sensation behind the wheel, living the dream that years before was sparked by one night at the racetrack. “I just loved the whole feeling of racing, it looked so cool,” Trey said. “I wanted to be a driver so bad.” It was almost destiny for Trey to love motosports like his father, who watched racing with his own father growing up. Ray learned the intricacies of the sport by listening intently to the commentators calling the game, developing advanced concepts on how the best drivers succeed. Those lessons were passed down to his son, who would apply them into his own driving career. Trey’s journey operating a vehicle started small, demonstrating a knack for fast lap times in go-kart racing before making his way to larger vehicles like the UCAR, short for U Can Afford Racing, which is a low-budget front wheel
drive car powered by a stock 4-cylinder engine. He eventually made his way to the bandelero, another entry-level car complete with a lawn mower engine that has 30 horsepower with speeds around 70-80 mph. Working on the car with his dad, Trey says the two had learned the insand-outs of the car on the fly. “All we knew how to do was take a tire on and off, and we’ve learned so much over time that I feel like we can do anything now,” he said. Trey says the keys to good driving in the bandelero are to drive smart, focused and in control. He also says a good driver must learn to work in the draft, an aerodynamic method in which the lining up of the cars blocks the movement of air, creating low pressure, reducing drag and increasing speed. “You have to make a lot of split-second decisions, you’ve just got to be smart and focused,” he said. Trey competed in bandolero racing for two seasons, coming away with three track titles in his second year at Langley Speedway, Dominion Raceway and the Shenandoah Speedway. Trey had to wait patiently for those first-place finishes to come, as he came up just short on multiple occasions in his rookie season. All that patience paid off when he stepped onto the track at Dominion

Raceway on June 5, 2021. Entering that race, he could feel something special was about to happen after placing first in both practices and qualifying for pole position at the front of the line to start the 15-lap race. Trey would be
at the front of the pack for all 15 laps. “It’s honestly the best feeling in the world. I can’t tell you how many times I came in second or third before I got my first win,” Trey said. “I just remember that feeling of think-
ing, ‘oh my God, I did it,’ and it was the greatest feeling in the world when I knew I had done it.” After winning his last bandolero title at Langley, Trey has turned his attention toward legends racing, an entirely new challenge
with a car that not only weighs around 400 pounds more than a bandolero, but also reaches speeds of 110-120 mph with horsepower around 150. Having already competed in eight races with the see WHEEL, pg. 3
Powhatan soccer’s Fischer Daniel gets Gothia Cup invite By Robby Fletcher Sports editor
A rising Powhatan soccer star is taking his talents to the international level. Celebrating his friend’s birthday dinner, Powhatan junior Fischer Daniel was given another excuse to celebrate when he received an invite to play at the Gothia Cup, a soccer tournament held in Gothenburg, Sweden that is considered the world’s largest and most international youth soccer tournament. “I’d say this is probably up there with the best thing that has ever happened to me,” Daniel said. Daniel was selected to play with CCL United, a team that is built around the best players of the Club Champions League, which Daniel’s travel club

Rankin was a difficult one to start the tournament, she says she’d prefer starting off with a challenger of Rankin’s caliber. “I really like how they had that as my first one, because usually that first match is always going to be the hardest and the one you’re most nervous for,” Sanchez said. “Thankfully I got that one out of my system, and I was ready for the rest because I knew that one was going to be my hardest.” Powhatan head coach Jonathan Tanaka says it’s difficult for a lot of wrestlers to open up their tournaments at the top of their game, and he also felt that Sanchez’ 2-0 decision victory was a great way for her to build con-
FC Richmond plays in. Recommended by his coach for a tryout on Feb. 6, Daniel impressed and earned a spot with the prestigious club. He will be joined by three FC Richmond teammates: Evan Gaines, Javier Cathedral and Edwin Villatoro. The Gothia Cup hosts around 1,700 clubs each season for the tournament, which has been held annually since 1975 with the exception of the 2020 tournament. Multiple stars at the professional level have participated in the Gothia Cup during their youth careers, including guys like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andrea Pirlo and Xabi Alonso. Daniel says it’s an honor to be playing in a tournament that’s seen
great players come through it, but he remains humble in his mission to leave his own mark at Gothenburg. “It means a lot to me, I’m incredibly thankful for this opportunity,” Daniel said. “I want to be as humble as I can because I know there’s always someone that’s better or someone looking to fill your spot. I’m hungry to go out here and play my best and show what I can do not only for my team, but for the people in this country.” As a forward and natural goal scorer at his current club, Daniel aims to continue his scoring ways at the Gothia Cup, while also acting as a leader with his team. Away from the game, he’s looking forward to not only sightseeing in Gothenburg and Copenhagen,
but also getting the opportunity to train with a professional club in Denmark. “I want to take in as much as I can when I’m
fidence for the rest of her matches. “Luckily as wrestlers, getting through these tough matches sharpens your mental toughness,” Tanaka said. “A lot of times in those first matches, you’ve just got to grind it out and give it your best even though it’s not necessarily your A-game and/ or B-game. You’ve still got to figure out a way to win that match.” In the semifinal matchup against Cumberland’s Abigail Winslow, the contest was in Sanchez’s favor from the jump. She took a 9-1 lead by the end of the first period with two takedowns and two near falls. She ended the match for good with a pin at 3:28, but not before picking up one more takedown.
Sanchez won the championship with another convincing victory when she beat Mia Goodwin of the Kellam Mat Rats with a 10-1 major decision. Though Sanchez took a 2-1 lead after the first period, it was the second period where she really took over, outscoring Goodwin 6-0 with a three-point near fall, a takedown and an escape. That win gave Sanchez another hard-earned title that she says validates the hard work she’s put in this season. “Having these titles really humbles me, and it’s really rewarding because I work really hard during the season trying to prove myself,” she said. With her season now finished, Sanchez says her improvements on the mental side of the sport
have been one of the biggest reasons for her success, something she credits coaches Tanaka and Zach Olson with helping her build on. That support from her coaches combined with an increase in wins has helped her grow into an even better wrestler. “Now that I’ve been advancing a lot more, I’ve been learning a lot of lessons,” Sanchez said. “I really feel mentally I’ve just matured because wrestling is a huge mental game, it’s really a mental sport.” Looking ahead to next season, Sanchez is hoping to grow more as a leader for Powhatan’s younger wrestlers joining the team. While she plans to continue improving on her own craft on the mat, she wants the team’s suc-

down and not rush into moves despite the intensity of the match continuing to grow. Johnson ran the gauntlet by perfectly executing the art of the escape, earning multiple crunchtime points through the method. The keys to perfecting the escape, Johnson says, are to keep your feet under you, drive with hip separation and keep popping back up when forced on the bottom. After beating Deep Creek’s David Adjepong with a 39-second pin in the opening round, Johnson carried that momentum into a thrilling quarterfinals matchup with Loudoun Valley’s Brendan Hartley. After earning a second period escape to take a 2-0 lead, Johnson knew he was in for a dogfight, but his focus was on slowing things down. “You’ve just gotta take it slow. Once your brain starts working faster than your body, then things become difficult to do,” Johnson said. “You have to take it slow: move for move, round for round.” Johnson knew it’d be difficult to set up shots for points against Hartley, so he felt holding his opponent down and putting pressure on top was

game. In the first half, Powhatan dealt with turnover problems dealing with King’s Fork’s on-ball pressure, but when they were able to settle down, they had success scoring at the basket. The Bulldogs led by four entering the second quarter and pushed the lead to eight, but two tough drives from Cerullo led to four points to cut the lead down to five. After a three-point play by Henderson, that deficit was cut down to two, 2119. Powhatan also got a nice spark from freshman Emma Terry, who buried
the right way to go. That decision worked, as he held on for a 2-0 decision win. His semifinal victory over Great Bridge senior Jared Williams saw him battle back from two deficits, one in the final minute of the third period and the other in the first overtime. Both were, of course, tied up with an escape as Johnson won with a game-winning point in a sudden death 30-second third overtime. Johnson credits the work put in the practice room as key to fighting in yet another close battle even if it’s hard to simulate a real fight, especially one that leads to multiple overtimes. “When your adrenaline starts going, you have to find it within yourself and see how bad you really want this,” Johnson said. Entering that final matchup with Dominion’s Jimenez Jacob, Johnson could sense the pattern of close matches continuing. It proved to be the closest one yet. Johnson scored the first points of the match through yet another escape in the second period, but Jacob tied things up with a penalty point late in the third. Yet another overtime would’ve drained most athletes, but Johnson and his coaching

It may not look like it, but the exhausted wrestler on the left, Powhatan’s Mitchell Johnson, survived a grueling multi-overtime match with Dominion’s Jimenez Jacob (right) to claim the 195pound championship in in the Virginia High School League Class 4 wrestling championships at Virginia Beach Sports Center on Feb. 19.
staff could sense that Jacob was playing a significantly more tired and patient style during the match. The solution they decided on was to utilize Johnson’s elite endurance to push the pace and force even greater fatigue on Jacob in the overtime period. What happened next was the stuff of legend, something future generations of Powhatan wrestlers will talk about as a
moment firmly cemented in the very fabric of the program’s history. In yet another overtime bout, Johnson claimed the state title in a way that only felt appropriate: a gamewinning escape. The moment firmly etched in history didn’t immediately hit Johnson until he left the mat and had his teammates and family surround him in celebration. “I don’t think it really hit me until I got off the
mat. It started to sink in that man, that just happened, and you realize that this doesn’t happen for everyone. I was truly blessed,” he said. With Johnson committed to playing football at Emory & Henry next fall, the state title will end up being the thrilling conclusion to his wrestling career. He’ll miss the game for sure, especially the thrill of raising his hand in victory or traveling to
tournaments with his teammates, but he’s ready for the next step in his equally dominant football career at running back. Thinking of the teammates, coaches and family members that were there to support him right as he won the title, Johnson will remember the feeling of being crowned a champion for the rest of his life, just like the people who were there to bear witness to it.
for changing gears and using the clutch – has made it a challenging transition that he’s still getting used to. “It’s not an easy car to drive with the power-toweight ratio, so you really have to drive with your
foot,” he said. “It was definitely a learning curve and something to get used to and something I’m still learning, but I’m all for it, I’m having a great time in legends.” Beyond legends racing, Trey has dreams of poten-
tially racing late models or limited late models as his next step, but as long as he’s behind the wheel, he says he’s grateful. Starting off, it was just him and his dad working together to make some-
thing special. Now, he has a larger team helping him, including a crew chief, and hopes of finding sponsors to further help with his driving career. Even as the pressure of being a champion grows
with each race and the adjustments to new cars prove challenging, that same feeling of excitement and wonder that Trey had at 8 years old at the race at the Richmond Coliseum has truly never gone away.
a three off-the-catch and fought for a jumpball on the ensuing possession that led to a Henderson jumper to tie the game. At the half, it was a 31-28 Bulldogs lead, but the Indians were grinding hard in the post defensively and fighting to stay in the game. Coming out of the locker room, the Indians did well in adjusting to the full court press, but the Bulldogs made adjustments of their own. By letting the Indians go up the court, the Bulldogs decided to start trapping the sideline ballhandlers, which the Indians struggled breaking through. A 14-7 run late in the third helped give the Bulldogs a 14-point ad-
vantage entering the fourth quarter, and their swarming defense continued all throughout the fourth quarter. Despite getting down big, coach Henderson was proud of her team for playing hard up until the final whistle. “They’re an excellent team, but we did good, we held our own and I was very proud of us,” coach Henderson said. Looking ahead to next season, the Indians will need to fill the void of losing three key seniors that helped spark one of the best seasons in program history. With six returning players, they’ll have a chance to build even further on what the team did this year.
