Elected officials evaluate school board budget By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – How much Powhatan County Public Schools will need in fiscal year (FY) 2023 – as well as how that number might still be reduced – was the focus of board meetings held over two days last week. Finding ways to cut the budget was a big focus of a workshop the Powhatan County School Board held on Monday, March 14. The next day, the school board and board of supervisors discussed the school board budget, efforts thus far to trim it to make it balanced based on the current information available, and plans in the coming weeks to continue to evaluate expenditures. The balanced budget Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, proposed to the two boards on March 15 currently totals $54.76 million, which is a roughly $4.4 million increase over the FY 2022 ad-
opted budget. About $2.09 million of that increase is part of a state grant proposed by the General Assembly that would be earmarked for specific kinds of projects such as construction, renovations, land acquisition for a new school or paying of debt service, not the general operating budget. Just as with the final operating budget for the state, the final amount and how funds would be divvied out to localities remained unresolved when the General Assembly finished its 2022 session, so schools are still waiting on guidPHOTO BY LAURA McFARLAND ance.

POWHATAN – The aspect of becoming the new director of Powhatan County Public Library that made Chandra McPherson the most excited was the people. Throughout the interview process and into her first few weeks on the job, McPherson, who started on Valentine’s Day, has definitely been feeling the love. From the start, she said she has been impressed with the wonderful synergy of the library staff and the library board that was already in place and was excited to see how she could add to both those relationships and the overall working environment. “What I have brought that I think the staff is most attached to is I do have a very open, team-minded approach, and I think that enriches our programs, collections and every product we produce,” McPherson

said. “I am not the library, the staff is the library, and we are all working together. … The team – if they feel like exploring something new or learning something new – I am willing to partner on that.” For now, they are still working everything out. In addition to the dynamic of acclimating to a new director after being without one for the better part of a year, the library has been working in recent months to slowly increase its programming and activity opportunities toward pre-pandemic levels, she said. “We are getting into the rhythm of working together and playing with a lot of ideas and hoping we will solidify some new programs soon,” she said. McPherson came to Powhatan from Heritage Public Library in New
Kent, where she had been the director for four years. Before that, she was deputy director at the Appomattox Regional Library System for about eight years. McPherson started her off-and-on library career when she was studying English at Virginia Tech, working part-time at Blacksburg Library and continuing there after she graduated. Through the years, she would work part-time at the library assistant level at libraries in Richmond and Chesterfield. “I liked the active sharing of information at a library and the informal educational setting. I liked getting random requests and just digging in to find information. I found that was a very librarian thing to do,” she said. In tandem with some of those posisee LIBRARY, pg. 3

CHAMBER Continued from pg. 1
Speaking to the attendees for about 30 minutes, including taking time for questions, Ware touched on a variety of topics from the 60-day regular session that ended on March 12. They included bills he patroned or was involved with, some of which passed and some that failed, as well as bills he felt were important to Virginians. The General Assembly failed to move forward on many important matters for the state as bills passed the Republican majority House of Delegates and failed in the Democrat-controlled State Senate, or vice versa. As usual given the setting, the issues Ware addressed tended to veer toward business and education and stay away from some of the more controversial issues reviewed by the General Assembly. State Budget Ware briefly talked about the state budget, which was not passed when the session ended. Ware said what he sees as the largest differences between the two budgets is that the House version has a large amount of tax relief, such as the proposed elimination of the state’s grocery tax and a proposed increase of Virginia’s standard deduction on the individual income tax, while the Senate version has a more modest amount of tax relief, a significant amount of infusion into state programs and a slightly large increase in teacher and state employee salaries. Fair Labor Standards Act Ware was the chief patron of HB 1173, the Fair Labor Standards Act, which passed 55-42 in the House and 33-6 in the Senate. The bill sought to eliminate new requirements and return the state to the overtime law that existed prior to the Virginia Overtime Wage Act being passed in 2021. While the new bill didn’t accomplish everything supporters wanted, “what was politically possible to do was to amend it back so that it reflects and mirrors more accurately the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.” The bill dialed back damages to double instead of triple damages, as it was for some cases under the 2021 law. The new bill also addressed exemptions, the statute of limitations for bringing claims and methods of calculation for overtime. “It was widely supported; it was one of the significant changes that we made this year. I was talking to a fellow not long ago who said he expects that there will be millions of see CHAMBER, pg. 6

tions, she also worked for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Division of Dam Safety, making for a varied career. McPherson also brought with her a love of history that will likely come into play in the library at some point. She is an amateur archaeologist who volunteers with the State Department of Historic Resources and the USDA Forest Service Archaeology Division. She is certified by the state to do archaeological field work and tries to actively participate in a dig every summer. She added that she has two grown children, a German shepherd and “more cats than I will admit to because I foster them and try to find them homes.” During the search for a new director, the library board of trustees prioritized looking for a candidate with experience in a library system similar to Powhatan; someone who could work well with the wonderful staff and create an environment where they felt like they could take initiatives, and someone who understood the library was part of the community and was interested in doing outreach and working with others to create an open door policy, chair Joanne Fico said. “They were things she brought up herself even before we asked as part of her answers to certain questions. Sometimes you prompt a candidate and they will answer and kind of guess what you want to hear. But these

were things she willingly expressed as she was being interviewed without being prompted,” Fico said. McPherson said she is somebody who rolls up her sleeves and “gets right in there where needed because I like to know the library from the bottom up.” She said he wants to be as involved as the staff needs her to be, seeing her role as a combination of letting the staff grow and develop in their own creativity so she doesn’t impede them while working with them where needed to both offer support and create a great collaborative environment. “I am very active in what we are doing here. That is how I can be in tune to people on staff and people out in the stacks,” she said. “My door is always open, so if folks want to drop in to say hello or they have ideas, I do want to meet them, I do want to talk to them.” Fico said she has been thrilled with McPherson’s work in the weeks since she was hired and is happy to see the working dynamic the director is building with the staff. “She is a very positive, very accessible person. I really had a good feeling about her, and some of it is just gut feeling sometimes, but what I have seen over the past few weeks has been very positive. The staff hasn’t been this happy in years it seems,” Fico said. In her past jobs, McPherson said she was highly interested in outreach and partnering with other organizations in the community because that helps both the library and
residents know what their available resources are and what they can do to add to those resources. “It is great to have that mutual support and awareness,” she added. While plans for the future are still in the works, there are already some upcoming programs they are working to put in place. Staff intends to return to their involvement in the annual Powhatan Farmer’s Market to do outreach. They also are bringing back initiatives such as outreach into local daycares and doing kindergarten class tours in April. “This is going to be great,” she said of the tours, obviously excited. “We intend this time to have all of the kindergarteners come through and leave with a library card of their very own. We really want to get them on the path of reading and enjoying the library.” She added that by sending the paperwork home with the kindergarteners for the children to apply for cards, staff hopes those parents who have not yet discovered what the library has to offer will consider coming to get a library card as well. In the midst of all that, the staff is wrapping up plans for grants the library received for work such as meeting space improvements; working on the summer reading program; exploring possible STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) programming, and looking at other options the staff wanted to propose once the new director was on board.

St. Luke’s to hold preschool open house Contributed Report As families are in the process of deciding on preschool programs and looking for options to engage their young children next fall, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is inviting parents to consider a Wednesday morning Montessori-based Christian formation for children ages 3 to 12. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) program is centered on the belief that there is a deep spiritual bond between God and the child and that children want to explore and develop their relationship with God. CGS draws on the educational principals of Maria Montessori with a focus on the spiritual contemplation and enjoyment of God. The program, which is also offered on Sunday mornings during the school year, is designed to meet the spiritual needs of the child and is supported by a loving church community. Each of the “catechists” who work with the children have over 100 hours of training and are certified CGS instructors. The classes meet in a special area called the Atrium, which has been carefully prepared with everything the children need to explore and grow in their faith and knowledge of God’s love for them. St. Luke’s has been offering this program for over 10 years and is excited to continue offering a place for our community’s children to come and fall deeper in love with God. Hear what some of our parents are saying about how this program has impacted their families. One
“The staff have had some great ideas that we have said let’s go with it, so we are looking to explore those ideas,” McPherson said. “We are still kind of going forward with a wait and see as far as what folks want to do. We are not trying to race ahead of their comfort with programming, but we are trying to develop some things that are new.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

mother shared, "My children have been coming to St. Luke's Atrium for about five years and it has been remarkable to see them learn to quiet themselves before the Lord in prayer. It is a beautiful thing to witness how the Catechists have tucked God's word and teachings into their little hearts over the years. They look forward to their time there as they learn, quiet themselves before the Divine, and feel the presence of community gathered around each other." Another mother shares, "My son, age 9 told me one morning that he had woken up with a bad dream in the night and, when I asked him why he didn't wake me up, he said he was OK. He just lay in bed and sang the songs he has learned at Cat-
echesis class until he did not feel afraid anymore and was able to go back to sleep on his own." The program is offered free of charge and will meet weekly on Wednesday mornings beginning in midSeptember from 10-11:30 a.m. For more information on the nationally-recognized CGS program, parents can visit www.cgsusa. org For information on St. Luke’s Church, visit www. stlukespowhatan.org. Space is limited so, those interested in the fall program should contact the church office (804) 794-6853 and request to be placed on a list. The church is hosting an Open House at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 30 if parents would like to come visit and learn more about the program.

Hey Guys, So I heard a saying that the Third time is the charm. Well I sure hope that is true, because I have been featured a few times, and no one has came to visit me yet. I am really a good boy. I have been tested with other dogs, and I did great. My people at the shelter even had a Trainer come out to assess me, and she said I was a perfect dog. I had no guarding over my food or toys, and I sat when I was told to. I would need a home with no small children, or cats. I think my ideal play buddy should be at least 13 or older. I am really into my people, and I watch them while they are preparing our food, or cleaning in the back, I love to come up front and have office time so I can play tug of war with the staff. I have days where I think no one is gonna come and adopt me and give me love, So I get really sad. If you would like to come meet me Please call 804-598-5672 and the staff will be happy to assist you in scheduling an appointment to meet me. Hope to see you soon.

The Rotary Club of Powhatan is hoping to have a panorama of red, white and blue blowing in the breeze this summer when it hosts its first Field of Honor display. The Field of Honor will see Rotary members selling U.S. flags that will be on display from June 10 to 14 at the Village Meadow, located at 3920 Marion Harland Lane. An opening ceremony with host Bill Bevins will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 10. The ceremony will precede a Village Vibe Concert at 7 p.m. featuring the KOS Band. The flags can be purchased in honor of a “Hometown Hero” of the owner’s choice, living or deceased. People who purchase a flag, which costs $40, can take it home at the end of the event and display them as a continued tribute to the honorees and a memento of the Field of Honor event. Flags may be picked up after a closing event on June 14, which is Flag Day, or on June 15. Final orders for flags purchased from Colonial Flag Foundation, which started the Field of Honor program, are due by May 6. The flags will be delivered on June 6 and stationed on the field on June 9.Sponsor a flag or download the form at www.healingfield. see CALENDAR, pg. 8
STEM Expo to highlight division’s courses, clubs Contributed Report The Powhatan County Public Schools STEM Expo will return in 2022 to highlight the division’s courses, programs, clubs and resources in a fun way. The free event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 24 at Powhatan High School, 1800 Judes Ferry Road. The evening will offer youth a chance to explore their interests and talents. Come enjoy a night of hands-on family fun as youth and their families experience many exciting STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities available in PCPS. Activities will include engineering design challenges; science demonstrations; robots for every age; interactive CTE tours; makerspace activities; virtual reality immersion; door prizes for students, classes and teachers, and more. This event is different from an open house in that PCPS high school teachers and students have created activities to engage our younger PCPS students. There is a wide variety of learning that falls under the STEM umbrella, and this is an opportunity for parents to see what piques their child’s interest. It also affords parents the chance to learn more about STEM education in PCPS. The division has more than 50 K-12 teachers, coaches, librarians and administrators who volunteer at this event, so if parents have specific questions, educators can route them to the person who can best assist. Powhatan High School student volunteers are also a great source of information. Are there other benefits of participating in the STEM Expo? Absolutely!
So much of what makes Powhatan special is its sense of community, and staff members are so excited to see things returning to normal. If for no other reason, they hope that families will attend so that they can reconnect with one another. The STEM Expo is fun. Staff members are confident that parents and their children will enjoy the evening. The STEM Expo is entirely funded through grants, as is much of the technology that will be showcased. Over the past five years, Dominion, Verizon, The Powhatan Education Foundation, and Bob and Karla Curtis have been incredibly supportive of STEM education in Powhatan. The PCPS’s STEM program at a glance: In the past six years, over $100,000 in grants have been awarded to PCPS to support STEM education. The Powhatan High School library has a large, well-equipped makerspace that houses a collection of supplies and equipment for students to use for school and personal projects, including 3D printers, a laser cutter, several green screens and video and audio equipment. Powhatan High School offers 46 different STEM courses, including a plethora of less traditional electives: Game Design and Development, Cybersecurity, Computer Systems Technology, Launch: A Design Thinking Capstone Project, Engineering I and II, Veterinary Science, Agriculture Fabrication and Emerging Technologies, Firefighting, Sports Medicine, Construction Technology, and Electricity.

dle School Innovation Lab provides cross-curricular lessons that integrate STEM into all content areas. So far this year, there have been over 3,300 student visits to the Innovation Lab for 31 different lessons, and every student has had at least one opportunity for a lesson in the lab. Powhatan Middle School students have the opportunity to work on independent STEM projects during ACCT. Some of their favorites include solar and battery powered cars and creative cardboard structures. Each elementary school houses a STEM Lab where STEM coaches work with classroom teachers to provide lessons for all grade levels, and teachers can check out materials or bring classes in for hands-on lessons. Students also study and care for worm bins, giant hissing cockroaches, ants and brook trout, Virginia’s state fish. STEM Days are held in each elementary school for every grade level, K-5, where students explore a science topic in the morning and then apply what they have learned with an engineering challenge related to real-world topics. PCPS has three fulltime STEM coaches who develop curriculum, collaborate with teachers and conduct STEM lessons with students. PCPS offers a variety of activities to engage students in STEM, including summer and afterschool camps, special events during the school day, field trips, and STEMbased clubs and competitions. Frequently, community partners collaborate with PCPS in these endeavors.

Brain power changes impacted heavily by choices By Barbara Brown Special to the Powhatan Today
No one ever said they wanted an elderly brain that is forgetful, unable to learn or confused. Until recently, science appeared to say that such an outcome was a given. Newer studies refute that notion (David Robson. The Seven Primes of LIfe: Why Each Decade Comes with its Own Superpowers. New Scientist, 3341: 7/3/2021). Instead, our brains change in positive ways throughout life and the factors that make the most difference in keeping brains “young” are in the owner’s hands. The twenties are the fast years when it comes to thinking. Twenty-somethings have the fastest reaction times and the ability to solve novel problems quickly. But their brains are underdeveloped in some very important skills - including working memory, face recognition, emotion

creases the school division doesn’t control, salary rankings when compared with other divisions and offering competitive wages to attract and retain employees. The two boards discussed various aspects of these and other topics. At one point, supervisor Bill Cox, who represents District 4, pointed out that the proposed percentage increase to the schools is outpacing the county’s total revenue growth, which is not a sustainable model, he argued. The school board was scheduled to have the public hearing on the FY2023 operating budget at its March 22 meeting, which occurred after press time.
perception, decision making and the ability to sustain concentration. If the 20s are defined by speed, then the 30s are the decade of endurance. The extra years of experience seem to bring improved emotional regulation and planning. This translates to better endurance when coping with stress and exhaustion. The experience of parents with several very young children comes to mind. During their 40s most folks are in the middle of work and family careers. Maybe as a result of juggling both, people in their 40s are best at inferring emotional states from small differences in facial expressions. They are also the best at tasks demanding sustained attention. They can withstand interruptions while doing a task better than those younger or older. Those in their 50s and 60s have brains with the best “crystallized intelligence.” It consists of the knowledge,
facts and skills accumulated through life. Vocabulary size is an example. Midlife is an important milestone for future brain functioning as some activities need to be incorporated into lifestyle, if they are not in place already. Three factors make the biggest impact: physical activity, social support, and one’s sense of control over life. Participating in an exercise class checks the boxes for physical activity and social support. Improving one’s sense of control over life is usually accomplished by “talking” therapies that help individuals see the potential to make changes. Midlife is not the time to say “ I can’t” to learn new skills. New learning is a precursor to having a healthier brain later. The new learning needs to be something that is complex enough to tax one’s mind such as learning a language, or musical instrument. The adage “use it or lose it” applies to bodies and brains
visors raised the same concerns at the March 15 meeting about not wanting to see instructional assistants cut because they may seem more expendable when they actually carry a vital role in classrooms. Jones explained to both boards that four of those instructional assistant positions would not be needed anyway for FY2023 for various reasons, which is why they were chosen as an early cut. He also pointed out that in staffing levels, paraprofessionals had seen the highest increase in numbers in recent years, and where there has been growth staff has to evaluate if those numbers are still needed. He added it had nothing to do with the value that they offer as all employees are valued.
matched raise is whether localities are locked in to giving a set percentage raise across the board or whether they have the discretion to give more targeted raises that still add up to the average of a complete 5% raise. The balanced budget that Jones presented last Monday would see all employees receiving 5% and the employees ranking lower in regional comparisons receiving targeted increases. In some cases, the targeted increases still weren’t as high as they would have liked. For instance, Jones proposed the teachers being considered for targeted raises would be brought up to the seventh rank in a 13-division comparison. School board chair Kim Hymel, District 5, said she would rather bring them up to the sixth rank. To fund that change, she proposed not giving all employees a 5% raise. Ones she specifically mentioned getting less than 5% were administrators making more than $100,000. Earlier in the workshop the board took a look at the school division’s organization chart, which was part of a discussion about possibly making changes to what she described as a top heavy division administration. “I don’t want to not give anybody a raise, but we’ve got to look at this budget and we’ve got to start thinking about doing some things differently,” Hymel said. “Every little bit is going to help whatever we do. I don’t think we need to decide that right now, but I think that needs to be on the table. Everything needs to be on the table.” Susan Smith, District 2, built on that, saying the school board has spoken repeatedly about the importance of classroom teachers. When supervisor Mike Byerly, District 3, asked at the March 15 meeting why the proposed cuts didn’t include more related to central office administration, Smith reiterated that the school board was still in discussion about how any raises awarded for the FY2023 budget would be awarded and to “stay tuned” until the school board votes on the budget. Rick Cole, District 1, said he had a problem giving any employee less than 5% because of inflation and health insurance increases. “It would break my heart to tell any staff member this year, ‘hey we are going to cut your raise so we can give more money to somebody else.’ I just think that is wrong from a lot of different perspectives, so I hope we can stick with that 5% minimum for everybody,” he said. During the joint meeting, Cole also pointed out that the school division’s central office staff is consistently lower than other similar localities and they all carry a great deal of responsibility.
Additional cuts Closing the gap In planning this year’s budget, one of the big blows to PCPS was learning the county’s Composite Index, which determines a school division’s ability to pay education costs fundamental to the Commonwealth’s Standards of Quality (SOQ), had seen a dramatic increase, meaning less state funds than they originally anticipated. That news combined with a 19.1% health insurance increase coming in at $856,000 meant the school board started its budget season with a possible $2.77 million dilemma. The release of county administrator Ned Smither’s recommended budget a few weeks ago brought significant relief, as he proposed the county increase local funding by $2.1 million. Cutting the remainder has been the focus of several in-depth school board budget meetings and many hours of work by staff to find line items – and possibly people – that could be reduced. A proposal Jones brought forward on March 8 kicked off discussion on some significant cuts: elimination of 10 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions for a savings of $543,074; deferring replacement of chrome books for grades three to five for a savings of $320,503, and reducing memberships and travel by 20% for a savings of $36,353. The 10 FTEs staff suggested cutting were the assistant director of human resources, a special education lead teacher, a computer technician, a parent resource coordinator, and six instructional assistants. The school board made it clear coming into last week that the lead teacher position needed to be retained and other positions that directly impacted students in the classroom should be reevaluated as well. Several super-

The school board had continued the discussion about where additional cuts could be made at its March 14 workshop. They started with a discussion about the memberships that the school division and its employees belong to but didn’t make any decisions on which of those might be cut until they get more information. While some of the memberships might have only small benefits, others come with possible grants and direct benefits to students, and the school board wanted to know that information to weigh it against whatever membership dues an organization might charge. In the area of travel and conferences, Jones proposed an additional 50% reduction, reducing the line item to only absolute necessities. The $56,790 left under the travel category for the division would mostly fall under the heading of mileage paid to employees who have to travel between schools and to students’ homes for instruction purposes, he said. That travel reduction helped offset the cost of adding back the lead teacher position in the budget, Jones said. A key portion of the school board budget revolves around proposed salary increases for employees. The school board is considering a 5% increase for all employees plus targeted raises for specific positions that are below the median in regional comparison rankings, which is teachers on certain pay scales, mechanics and secondary assistant principals. According to Jones’ March 15 presentation, those salary increases would cost $1.99 million, a portion of which would be paid for by the state for SOQ funded positions, with the amount dependent on which version of the state budget is adopted. One of the big questions anytime there is a state-

Contributed Report The week of March 7 to 11, Powhatan High School held a Spirit Week to celebrate the end of winter sports and the Powder Puff game on Friday night. The Student Council Association (SCA) along with their sponsors, Amanda Wilson and Christian Miller, created all of the events for the week. On Monday, students wore their wackiest and tackiest; Tuesday, students dressed as twins; Wednesday was western wear; Thursday, stu-

Capturing small moments from a distance By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
S
taying connected with people is not just a choice, it’s a privilege. When the COVID-19 pandemic saw us hunkering down mostly in the isolation of our own homes, a new breed of connectedness emerged. I went from having one form of video chat app on my cell phone – used mainly to connect to an overseas friend – to downloading no less than six new video chat apps just so I knew I had the major platforms people might suggest for a meeting or conversation. I missed the personal touch; most of us did in some way or another. So to say that I was ecstatic when people began scheduling in-person events again would be a massive understatement, as I am sure many of you reading this have experienced in the last year or so. And as I look ahead to community events being planned for the coming months that promise to bring us back together even more, there is a great deal of happy anticipation, both personally and for our community. We have options in the coming months like library programs, volunteer opportunities, club meetings and special events such as the Powhatan County Earth Day Celebration (April 22), the 46th annual Powhatan Lions Club Steer Roast (April 27), three Village Vibe concerts, The Rotary Club of Powhatan’s
Field of Honor (June 10 to 14), and Relay for Life South of the James (June 11). But as much as I missed the personal connection in my daily life here in Virginia, I did come to appreciate the advances that came out of the pandemic that help me stay connected to those farther away. For instance, in the year or so before the shutdown, I had started becoming highly interested in playing board games, a hobby that piqued the interest of several family members in Texas as well. Local board game events shut down pretty quickly, what with the close personal nature of playing a game together and touching all the pieces, but my mom, oldest sister Heather and I found a fantastic website where you can play board games reproduced in an online format. By playing the games on my computer and participating in a video chat on my phone, we could have a somewhat traditional game night together even though I was 1,300 miles away. It was the most connected I had felt with them in a while, short of the limited number of visits we manage each year. I now look for those opportunities to be involved in – not just big special occasions like holidays you miss but the little things, like helping my middle sister Stefanie, who is a fellow quilter, decide on fabric, or letting my mom just see my face because she misses me. Most recently, I organized a little surprise for Mom that was no hassle to me but meant the world to her.
Mom is a lifelong John Wayne fan, and I learned that one of her favorite movies of all time, “The Quiet Man,” would be having 70th anniversary screenings at theaters across the country last week. I secretly called my sisters and said that if one of them would take her, I would pay for the movie tickets. All they told her was that they were taking her out for dinner. After that, they drove to the theater and surprised her with the movie. As I couldn’t be there, the best part for me was when Heather called me in a video chat from their seats in the theater and I got to talk to them several minutes before the movie started, including listening to Mom answer some of the onscreen John Wayne trivia. I’ve read different news accounts of how technology changed our society during the pandemic – the good, the bad and the practical – and how many relationships changed as a result. I saw plenty of pros and cons on both sides and think it is way too complicated a nut to crack here. What I will say is that I value that it brought to my attention in a new way that I didn’t have to miss out on all the small moments in my loved ones’ lives – that the tools to be more connected were already there. We just needed to make the choices to not wait for the big moments but savor the small ones as well. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Working with former PCPS superintendent was an honor Dear Editor, I was saddened to read of the passing on Maynard Bean (Phd. and Col.), former superintendent of Powhatan County Schools. Maynard was a first class person who poured his heart and soul out for the good of the students, faculty and staff of Powhatan County Schools. I was on the school board in the early 1980s and found that working with him was a privilege. This was a difficult time for the school system but, along with many other improvements, he worked tirelessly to see the “new” elementary school built. If I remember correctly, this was the first school built in Powhatan since 1929. Go in Peace, My Friend, Richard F. O’Hare Powhatan County
Local citizens need to pay attention to budget process Dear Editor, As I drive around Powhatan, I see many new homes under construction. Recently, I have been cold called by real estate agents hoping that I would place my home on the market. Clearly people are moving to Powhatan to enjoy the benefits our county offers. Despite this increase in county population, the number of students in our schools has decreased. Parents can no longer be assured that their children will receive a decent education in our public schools and those with the means to do so are choosing better options. Local private schools are full, and 506 students in Powhatan are home educated. Despite serving fewer customers, the school board is requesting more funding. Contrary to the remarks made in school board meetings about cuts, the Commonwealth of Virginia is actually increasing the amount they will send to localities for education, including Powhatan. The board of supervisors has also well-funded the school board. School expenditures make up over 58% percent of the entire county budget. The Landmark Center is overflowing with administrators, instructional specialists, and learning coaches who continue to find expensive new programs to try, but these expenditures have not led to improved academic outcomes for our children. The school board has spent our tax dollars on memberships to lobbyist organizations who support legislation that many in our community oppose. Powhatan paid $7,835 to Virginia School Boards Association who actually lobbied against legislation which requires localities to keep
schools open. Over $100,000 was spent on Wi-Fi for school buses. Random items such as “fidget spinners” are being purchased from Amazon each month. When I was in school, we were able to use pencils, pens or the zippers on our jackets for fidgeting; we didn’t need fancy gadgets paid for by the taxpayer. None of these items were prudent or helped our students succeed. I encourage my fellow citizens to attend the upcoming budget hearings scheduled by the board of supervisors and the school board to make their views on expenditures known. I do see positive movement in the area of transparency from the current school board and I believe they are starting to listen to the community rather than being a rubber stamp for school administration. It will take time to eliminate the established patterns of mismanagement and to rebuild community trust. Reducing wasteful expenditures would be a good place to start. Sincerely, Jacqueline Anderson Powhatan County
There is room to disagree in discussions on racial issues Dear Editor, While the concerns alluded to by Mr. Asip deserve consideration (Powhatan Today, March 9th Letter to the Editor), I disagree with his assertion that “… dialogue about race in our schools has devolved over the last several months.” Hopefully he’s not suggesting all exchanges on the subject have actually degenerated as opposed to simply not arriving at conclusions he embraces. I’d ask for specifics detailing exactly how public dialogue many have done so. I suspect his concerns stem from the conversation simply not comporting with his worldview. I do agree with him that the murder of Mr. Floyd resulted in a great deal of anger but did very little to enable the study of history with a “wider lens.” I’d much prefer that he use his “wider lens” to accurately depict the aftermath of riots, burning, destruction of property and the injury of scores of police and innocent citizens. All done under the BLM banner flown by a radical fringe with motivation far, far different from what I believe Mr. Asip advocates, at least one would hope. It would be more constructive to realize the lens to which he refers, no matter if portrait or wide angle, is selective capturing only the image intended by the taker and therefore never objective. As to Mr. Asip’s reading list, he doesn’t provide a bibliography, but like the owner of the camera I suspect his learning a

“whole lot” might simply be more supportive of already well established positions. The stance taken by Mr. Asip loses all credibility when he does exactly what he accuses others of doing, i.e., “devolving the dialogue” by making assertion that Critical Race Theory has been “falsely publicized as some educational evil.” For the record – IT IS EVIL! Admittedly, those fixated on the color of one’s skin have narrowed their lenses but don’t teach with a syllabus that specifies – “CRT.” However, rest assured teaching a child’s skin color as the primary determinate of societal position, i.e., being white must be equated with oppressor while all with black/brown skin are oppressed, is conveyed in our schools. Perhaps not in Powhatan, but the woke, liberal left is preoccupied with the mistaken view that all must be seen through the viewfinder of race, and that the only way to recalibrate is to move the fulcrum convincing kids that self-worth is conditioned by skin color. As far as the governor’s “tattletale” website is concerned, me thinks the gentleman protests too much. The serious minded among us should doubt if the administration will use such a public forum without dedication to separating wheat from chaff. One last point, I find it absurd and painfully disingenuous for any democrat progressive liberal expressing alarm at “this new area of cancel culture and attempted thought control.” Please, those in the democrats glass house should not be throwing stones.

Be aware of where your taxpayer dollars are going Dear Editor, We are so fortunate to live in Powhatan County. We truly have a caring community, but unfortunately the majority of our community does not attend board of supervisors, school board or other county meetings. I have found there are a fair number of citizens who do not know what issues are facing us in Powhatan County. In order to continue to have a strong community we all have to be involved and informed. We certainly do not have to all agree, but we need to listen to each other and build a consensus in order to solve problems and move our county forward. It is not necessary to speak at a meeting but you can send an email. You do not even have to physically attend a meeting as many are available online. YOUR ATTENTION AND INVOLVEMENT IS NEEDED! A huge reason to be aware of what the issues are in our county is the fact that we are all paying! Did you see LETTERS, pg. 8

CHAMBER 100% of electric production be provided by renewables by 2045. Ware said his biggest concern was for rate payers who continue to see their bills increase. He wanted to see the State Corporation Commission have its oversight restored to determine the most effective and reasonable way to produce reliable energy.

Ware pointed out that the only marijuana-related bill that passed modifies the definition of marijuana to include substances containing certain concentrations of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). That bill passed by large majorities in both houses.

Schools
There were numerous bills related to marijuana that failed one or both houses this year, including one Ware patroned, HB 72, which would have prohibited the sale of marijuana plants or seeds to consumers. The House defeated efforts to create a process to reconsider the sentences of felony marijuana-related offenses. It also blocked a bill that would have allowed limited retail sales of recreational marijuana by medical marijuana providers and a limited number of industrial
The continued use of masks in school was one of the most high-profile school issues during this session. The General Assembly passed Senate Bill 739, which barred Virginia schools from requiring students to wear a mask against their parents’ wishes and gave them until March 1 to comply. Ware voted for that bill. Ware also mentioned efforts to ban critical race theory that failed to make headway. HB 787 would have made it illegal to teach students to believe ideas such as that

Repercussions of 2020 election are now being felt Dear Editor, To borrow a phrase from the pundits on a political opinion TV show: permission to make an analogy. When we were children our moms would admonish us to eat everything off our plates, including our peas, because many people were starving around the world. The inference was that we were lucky that we had plenty to eat, and we should not waste food. Some nutritionists say that this advice, though well meaning, contributes to the obesity problem in America because now as adults we feel compelled to al-

one race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex or that an individual, by virtue of race or sex, is inherently racist, sexist or oppressive. The bill passed the House but failed in the Senate.
Ware talked about the differences in tax incentives outlined in House and Senate bills aimed at luring the NFL’s Washington Commanders to Virginia. He talked about early efforts in the session to freeze increases in the current minimum wage of $11 an hour instead of moving to $12 an hour next year and holding studies leading to an increase to $15 an hour by 2026. Ware also touched on how redistricting has changed Powhatan to the 5th Congressional District and the 72nd District in the House of Delegates. Ware said he does plan to seek reelection in the 72nd District.

heads the importance of the individual vote, swaths of adult democrats screeched to a halt at a crossroads. They felt obliged to cast their vote. Had to. But what to do if their party’s choice was damaged goods? However, there was a third option for these conflicted democrats and that was for them to refuse to cast their vote for Joe Biden, much less Trump. Stay home instead and not vote. (The fourth solution was to vote for a third party candidate, Bernie Sanders if he ran, but that would split the democratic vote favoring a republican to win.) The dilemma for them was that if they didn’t vote for Biden then Trump might win because of their Stay At Home Protest Vote numbers and there might not be enough other democratic voters for Biden to win. In the end, sending a message to the Democratic Party by not voting because of their wreck of a candidate was ruled out. There was no courage by them to think outside of the box. These fence sitting democrats couldn’t just not vote, no matter what their consciences told them otherwise about Biden’s perceived inherent weaknesses in ruling the country. They were compelled to do what they were instilled to do: clean their plates and vote. So, they voted for Team Biden Politics. And partially because of their decision to do so, the ills our country faces today, no matter how democratic press secretary Jen Psaki tries to spin their many devastating policy mistakes, especially the ones coming out of Ukraine, must be placed on the doorstep of the Biden administration.

ways finish off everything on our plates. Loading up our plates with too much food is another matter. When we were in grade and high school studying American history it was impressed upon us that we lived in a democracy (republic actually) and the importance of voting. This was pounded in our heads over and over again. Vote. It’s important and vital. The inference was that we were lucky to live in a democracy, and we must not waste this tremendous responsibility to keep our country strong. Again, not only well meaning advice but essential for democracy to survive. But like the analogy of cleaning off our plates, this guidance too could be flawed. The presidential election of 2020 featured two candidates: Joe Biden and Donald Trump. We had two vastly different candidates from which to choose. Donald Trump, a rambunctious businessman populist president with only four years of political experience representing the Republican Party, and Joe Biden, a politician with just shy of fifty years’ experience as a former senator and vice president long-inthe tooth septuagenarian with in-the-trenches D.C. bona fides representing the Democratic Party, were running for the highest office in the land. Both had serious flaws as perceived by opposite sides. You know what they are. And here is where the analogy comes in. Vast numbers of Democrats had a dilemma. They couldn’t stand President Trump for mostly visceral reasons, dismissing his many accomplishments and bombastic style, and knew that Joe Biden was, in their hearts, an extremely weak candidate. But, after years of drilling into American children’s

Hat trick hero Sloan fuels overtime win By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
In its first game of the season, Powhatan’s boys soccer team faced what felt more like a playoff atmosphere than a season-opener. Facing the Manchester Lancers on March 15, it took a brilliant hat trick performance from senior Parker Sloan to get it done, but the Indians were able to start the season off with a win, beating the Lancers 4-3 in overtime. It was a true back-andforth battle between the two Dominion foes, especially in the second half, but Powhatan was able to make the necessary adjustments late to keep the one-goal lead in the overtime period. Head coach Willie
Miles says he credits the team’s depth as a main factor in their close win, something that will be huge for this group throughout the season. “We had a solid contribution from 15 of our players in this game. That excites me knowing we have this depth for the rest of the season,” Miles said. He also says coming out of the gate strong was a big focus for this team kicking off the season. “A big emphasis with this new campaign is setting the tone, especially with our intensity, as early as possible in any given match,” he said.

Girls lacrosse opens season with two wins By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
It’s been just two games into the season for the Powhatan girls lacrosse team, and while there’s certainly a long way to go in the season, they’ve already shown plenty to get excited about. The Indians won their first two games of the season, one a convincing 23-0 win over Manchester on March 14 and the other a 19-9 win over Cosby on March 16. While the Indians cruised in their season-opening blowout of the Lancers, it was their comeback efforts against a tough Titans team that really proved just how big of a threat they could be in the Dominion District. In the first half against the Titans, the Indians were in a back-and-forth battle that saw the teams trade scores and leads before halftime. It was a 9-8 Titans lead early in the second half before the Indians rose to the occasion and completely took the game over with 11 unanswered goals to cap off an see LACROSSE, pg. 3
Entering the fourth inning with just a 1-0 lead, the Powhatan Indians were locked into a defensive battle with the Goochland Bulldogs that saw just a few scoring opportunities for either side. At the bottom of the fourth inning though, something awoke in the Indians that led to a fourrun inning and a 5-0 lead that paved the way for a 7-3 victory and their second win in as many games. “Hitting is contagious,” head coach Marie Crump said. “It takes somebody to step up and get it started, and it leads to a snowball effect. That happened to us tonight.” Led by two-RBI performances from seniors Carsen Hogston, Savannah Johnson and Payton George, the Indians found their groove at-bat in that fourth inning and ran away with the game despite a solid performance by Goochland pitcher Jasmine Price. Powhatan’s first score of the day came at the bottom of the first when senior Joy Johnson got a hit off Price that put Hogston in for a 1-0 lead. The Bulldogs had some good hitting themselves early on, but the Indians managed to come

together to keep them scoreless. At the top of the second with two outs and runners on first and second base, Goochland’s Abrielle White tried to steal for third and was caught in the act, leaving the Bulldogs emptyhanded despite a few promising highlights. The fourth inning was when things truly began to go Powhatan’s way offensively, but it also started with the same rocksolid defense that kept the Bulldogs out of the score column. Facing Price, Powhatan pitcher Madalyn Johnson struck out the oppos-
ing pitcher with a laser down the middle. Then, Savannah Johnson made a great play in the outfield when she saved a potential home run with a catch on the fence for the second out. After another strikeout, it was Powhatan’s turn, and they would take full advantage of the momentum their defense gave them. Their run-filled inning started when Savannah and senior Emma Phillips smashed doubles that put them on second and third. After two strikeouts, George hit a single that sent Savannah home for the first run of the inning.
Then, Hogston got in on the action with a double of her own that put both George and Phillips on home plate. One more single from freshman Ava Harper put Hogston in for the fourth run of the inning to make it a 5-0 score in Powhatan’s favor. With their backs to the wall, Goochland responded well in the fifth inning with three runs to cut Powhatan’s lead down to two, but Powhatan’s fourth inning success smoothly transitioned into their next run at the bat with two more scores to make it a 7-3 see SOFTBALL, pg. 3

Sloan, who is committed to playing at the University of Virginia after this season, has long been one of Powhatan’s most lethal scoring threats on the pitch and it was no different against Manchester, as he scored a hat trick to help knock off the Lancers in a 4-3 overtime win.
Sloan is one of six seniors playing for the Indians this season and will look to lead the way with a Powhatan team that aims to compete at the top of its district. After Sloan’s three-goal performance against the Lancers, the Indians made a great first impression to kick off a season.

VA residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls VIRGINIA - Once Virginia residents got wind that Virginia State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value. “It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Virginia State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Virginia residents already have and you don’t
want to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped minting these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these Virginia State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Virginia residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.
■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Virginia who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.
Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Virginia residents Virginia residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per VA resident has been imposed VIRGINIA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Virginia Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Virginia residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘Very few people have ever actually saw one of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Virginia Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Virginia residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Virginia Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Virginia residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Virginia you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing Virginia residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of Virginia residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Virginia and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:
Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.
How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:
It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Virginia State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.
Why are so many Virginia residents claiming them:

Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all Virginia residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.

Indians tennis start season against Goochland, Dinwiddie By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
This past week, Powhatan’s boys and girls tennis teams opened their seasons on the same path with games against Goochland and Dinwiddie. Both teams split their opening matchups, with the girls team winning its first matchup of the season against Goochland in a 7-2 home victory while the boys beat Dinwiddie with a dominant 9-0 final. The boys kicked off their season with a matchup at Goochland that came down to the wire, with the Bulldogs just getting past the Indians with a 5-4 win. Led by head coach Lee Kelley, the Indians are a young group of up-andcoming players still finding their groove within the sport. Senior Jacob Pfab, last year’s 4B singles champion and states runner-up, returns as the team’s undisputed leader and top player. Though there were hopes that he’d be able to match up with Goochland’s Evan Bernstine, last year’s 3A state champion,

incredible finishing performance for their second win. Head coach Laura Camp says the team did a great job of looking past its first half problems and playing the brand of lacrosse she knew they were capable of. “I think we struggled in the first half with rushing the ball and just not having patience,” Camp said. “We weren’t working together like we have been in practice, but in the second half we turned it around and hit reset. We decided to erase the first half and just start out as the team that we know we are.” Team captain and star senior Jordan Krauss shared similar sentiments, saying the team was playing into Cosby’s game plan during the first half. “It was definitely a frustrating half because we came out fast, but
Pfab was limited to playing in doubles in the season-opener due to injury. Still, Pfab was able to face Bernstine in their doubles battle alongside freshman Jamison Wallace. While Bernstine and junior Alex Peskin won in a 9-7 final, Pfab looked good in his first action of the season alongside Wallace. His laser serve and quickness off his feet was in mid-season form and he helped make it a close battle until the very end. Wallace performed admirably as well, taking on Bernstine in the singles competition in place of Pfab. While the more experienced Bernstine won 8-0, Wallace showed tons of potential hanging with a state champion. That potential came through again against Dinwiddie, when Wallace beat Shane Cunningham handily with an 8-0 result. In the other singles matchups from Goochland, Powhatan received wins from Kayden Rogers in an 8-3 set finish and Isaac Kelley in an 8-5 win. In their Dinwiddie matchups, Rogers won 8-0 and
Kelley won 8-1. On the girls side, there were plenty of new faces for the Indians with sophomore Carter Quinn being the lone returning starter from last year’s team. Beyond Quinn, one of Powhatan’s new players to watch is freshman Emma Carter, who possesses a rare amount of experience in the sport. The freshman has been playing tennis since she was 4 years old, and head coach Anne Louise Maliff believes she will be a special talent during her time at Powhatan. “After losing five starters last year, she is a welcome addition to our team and brings a level of experience that our team has not seen in my three-year coaching tenure at PHS,” Maliff said. In her first game with the Indians, Carter beat Goochland’s Margaret Townsend in two sets, winning both 6-1. She also won alongside Quinn in their doubles matchup with an 8-5 win. Rounding out their home win, Quinn and sophomores Zoe Lucas
well-organized as Manchester, they had trouble handling Sloan, who added two of his three goals before overtime started. In overtime, Sloan saved his best for last with a rocket shot outside of the 18-yard box to seal the deal for the Indians. Miles credited Sloan, Elzey and freshman forward James Davis as the standouts that played a part in capitalizing on that fourth goal and hold-
ing the Lancers scoreless before the final whistle. He also credited his assistant coaches, Paul Smartschan and Zachary Yorl, for leading by example and keeping the team focused on the bench when things got tough.

they just matched our speed, and then we slowed down to the pace they were playing at,” Krauss said. “We were playing hectically, we were giving off bad passes, we weren’t settling with the ball.” Those issues were put in the rearview mirror though, as Powhatan’s scoring burst started with the team dominating possession, winning their draws and playing with a pace that Cosby struggled to match. Goals from senior Kendall McMullin, Krauss and her sister Erica and freshman Caroline Camp pushed Powhatan ahead with a 12-9 lead with 12:50 left to play in the game that forced a Cosby timeout and provided Powhatan all the momentum it needed to finish the game with a win. “We were using each other in the correct way, we did exactly what we needed to do and that
showed in the score,” Krauss said. The nonstop scoring picked up again with two goals in 37 seconds from junior attacker Kate Adams and Camp. On Camp’s goal, she utilized a quick fake pass that threw her defender off completely, giving her a clear lane at the net and one of her three goals on the evening. Camp also finished the night with four assists. In total, seven different Powhatan players found their names in the score column, with Jordan Krauss leading the charge with a miraculous seven goals. Camp, Adams and Erica Krauss also had hat tricks to add to the 10-point victory. “We got the momentum and just didn’t stop from there,” Camp said. Powhatan will look to add to its strong start when it takes on Atlee in its first road match of the season on Thursday, March 24.

the Generals had led 4-2 entering doubles. After losing in singles, Carter and Quinn paired together for a competitive matchup with Dinwiddie’s Sydney Moore and Serena Amato that came down to a 9-7 finish in Powhatan’s favor. An 8-5 doubles win by the duo of Overboe and Roark gave the Indians a chance, but Dinwiddie’s one doubles win by Mor-
game. With runners on first and third, George made full contact on the ball that earned her an RBI and put the Indians up four. “We didn’t come out with a big lead, but we hung in there defensively and came out with two really good innings,” Crump said. That would be it for Powhatan’s scoring burst, but it finished the game strong on the defensive end to avoid any
chance of a late comeback from Goochland. At the top of the sixth, a terrific diving catch from Joy on first base was the third out that killed the inning, while strong communication between Joy and Savannah in the seventh inning led to three quick outs and a Powhatan victory. With a 2-0 record and 14 runs in two games, Powhatan is starting the season on the right foot, though Crump believes there’s still work to be done to improve even more.
“Two games in, I think we can see some of our strengths and we see what we need to work on, though I wouldn’t necessarily call them weaknesses,” she said. “We expect to see that this time of year.” Powhatan gets to play Goochland again in a quick rematch on March 25, with the Bulldogs hosting the game this time around. They then play Monacan at home on March 29. Robby Fletcher can be reached at rfletcher@ powhatantoday.com.

The parcel is located along the Appomattox River and is approximately 400 feet west of #51-3 which is included in the core of the Appomattox River AFD. Tax map parcel #50-27A is located near the southeast end of Worsham Rd. This parcel is within a mile of the already established Appomattox River AFD and would be contiguous if Tax Map Parcel #50-27 were to be added to the AFD.
