Supervisors take step back on tax rate adoption Board to extend first tax bill due date to June 15 By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors had to take a step back from its vote to keep the county’s real estate tax rate unchanged at 79 cents after it came to light that there had been a miscalculation in how the county’s assessment growth was calculated and a public hearing would now be required. The board voted in a 3-2 split on Monday, March 28 to set the calendar year 2022 real estate tax rate at 79 cents per $100 of assessed value. The vote on an official resolution for that decision came about a week after the board decided in the same split to keep the tax
rate unchanged at 79 cents in a March 22 workshop, not realizing they needed a formal resolution to do so. Chair Mike Byerly, who represents District 3; Steve McClung, District 2, and Karin Carmack, District 5, voted in favor of the 79-cent tax rate. David Williams, District 1, and Bill Cox, District 4, voted against. But one of the few steps in the fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget process the board thought it had accomplished was actually not valid based on new information the county received the day after the March 28 vote from the Virginia Department of Taxation. The new information came after inquiries Williams made about concerns over this year’s tax rate calculations. According to that information, the county was not using the correct calculations to determine the equalized tax rate that resulted from the 10.4% increase in the county’s total assessed value of real property, county administrator Ned Smither told the board in a complicated budget workshop held Friday, April 1.
Instead of 79 cents, the new calculations show the equalized tax rate – the tax rate that would levy the same amount of real estate as last tax year when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate – would be 75 cents. That means if the board decides to stick with its decision to keep the tax rate the same at 79 cents, the difference between the lower equalized tax rate and the proposed rate three board members have been favoring would represent a 4-cent increase for taxpayers, or about a 5.3% increase. But the possible increase itself – or the discussion about whether to lower the tax rate after all – were not the main focus of Friday’s workshop. Instead, supervisors were more focused on making sure the timeline was set that would both give the public the opportunity to have input on the rate and get it adopted with enough time to mail out the first half of the calendar year 2022 see TAX RATE, pg. 9

Powhatan Chamber honors Ickes for business excellence By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – Tiago Erazo looked every bit a professional chef in his domain as he paused in stirring his Pollo Susado – aka Sweaty Chicken – to taste the dish to determine if something was missing. “It needs lemon,” he said after a pensive pause and then went to make his adjustment. He apparently got the recipe right, because the four volunteer judges of the Sodexo Future Chefs Contest chose Tiago as the winner for the 2022 competition held March 25.
The Powhatan Elementary fifth grader competed against five other young chefs, all of whom impressed the judges with their takes on dishes inspired by a movie or book. Tiago was competing against fellow young chefs Lanie Jastram, a third grader at Powhatan Elementary; Chase Jones, a fifth grader at Flat Rock Elementary; Jeremiah da Silva, a fifth grader at Pocahontas Elementary; Rylee McNutt, fifth grader at Pocahontas Elementary, and Wyatt Stallworth, a fifth grader at Flat Rock Elementary.
POWHATAN – When Kendall Ickes accepted the 2022 Kathy Budner Award of Excellence, he didn’t see it as an honor for a single individual. Ickes said he has made some decisions in his life that might make some people question if he really knew what he was doing, such as opening DRP Collision Repair LLC with his wife, Margo in 2010 in Powhatan despite not knowing a single person from the county. Many of those steps came at the encouragement of others – people who saw a potential in him he couldn’t always see. So when he accepted the award at the Powhatan Chamber of

Steer Roast to raise funds for local charities, nonprofits Contributed Report

C&F Bank and its subsidiaries recently announced that it will support Ukrainian families by partnering with ‘PAH,’ a Polish humanitarian action group supporting many of the refugees fleeing the war in their country. Staff will show their support through donations and by dressing in Ukrainian colors or wearing yellow and blue ribbons. The bank is also accepting donations from the public through April 13.
C&F Bank announces support for Ukraine
Contributed Report C&F Bank and its subsidiaries recently announced that it will support Ukrainian families by partnering with “PAH,” a Polish humanitarian action group supporting many of the refugees fleeing the war in their country. An employee at C&F Bank, whose family lives in Poland, shared the story of this relief agency with the company. Operating since 2004, PAH is a Polish non-governmental organization that is focused on providing humanitarian aid, protecting the civilian population, and educating those in need. C&F will also invite its employees and members of the communities the bank serves to join in the effort. News reports from Ukraine are horrifying, especially the impact seen on Ukrainian mothers, fathers and children, many of whom are at risk for insufficient food, clothing and medical supplies. The company will leverage its ongoing C&F Gives Back initiative to support these families. Nearly 650 employees at C&F Bank, C&F Finance, C&F Mortgage and C&F Wealth Management showed their support on Friday, March 25 and will do so again on Friday, April 8 by dressing in Ukrainian colors or wearing yellow and
blue ribbons. These teammates have been invited to make personal donations and the bank will make a matching donation. Customers who would also like to receive and wear a ribbon may contribute to the local C&F Bank account set up to fund donations. All donations will be gathered and sent to PAH on April 15. “While most of our charitable efforts focus on the local communities we serve, we also felt the pain and suffering these families are experiencing should have our attention” stated Tom Cherry, president and CEO of C&F Financial Corporation. “We also knew that this would be something our employees and customers would want to know about, and that’s why we’re conducting an employee campaign as well as accepting donations from customers and the community at all C&F locations.” C&F Bank’s campaign is scheduled to run through April 13; donations made payable to C&F Bank/PAH Relief Fun can be made at any C&F Bank branch or by mail to: C&F Bank, Attn: PAH Support, Post Office Box 391, West Point, Virginia 23181. For more information, visit www.cffc.com or call 1.800.296.6246.

the community who cannot always help themselves. The club collects hearing aids and glasses and gives free eye screening and testing to qualified individuals.

The Lions help fund many local charities and provide many needed items to those in need.

Jason Talbot convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2020 crash that killed one By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – A Powhatan man was recently convicted for involuntary manslaughter in relation to a 2020 wreck that killed a Powhatan woman. Jason Talbot, 21, was found guilty on March 24 of felony involuntary manslaughter and three misdemeanor charges of reckless driving, driving on a suspended operator’s license, and driving a commercial vehicle without a commercial driver’s license (CDL) in a bench trial presided over by Powhatan County Circuit Court Judge Paul Cella. Sentencing in the case is set for May 2. The charges against Talbot stem from an accident that occurred April 24, 2020, in which a Virginia State Police investigation found Talbot was driving a Ford F-550 hauling a trailer with a skid-steer loader westbound on Route 711. Talbot braked to avoid striking a vehicle in front of him and then veered left crossing the center of the highway and into the eastbound travel lanes, state police said. A Volkswagen SUV driven by, Rebecca M. Wolf, 56, of Powhatan was traveling eastbound
when she was struck head on by Talbot. Wolf was wearing her seat belt but unfortunately succumbed to her injuries and died at the scene. Talbot sustained minor injuries and was not transported to the hospital. A male passenger in the Ford was not injured. Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney, said last week that getting an involuntary manslaughter conviction involved proving criminal negligence. In this case, the trailer Talbot was hauling had no brakes because there was no battery in the battery box the wires were supposed to attach to so the brakes would work, he said. Talbot drove the truck as an employee of T&B Landscaping & Tree Service in Farmville knowing the brakes didn’t work, Cerullo said. “Not only was there not a battery. Even if it had (a battery), testimony of expert witness was it still wouldn’t have worked because of defects in the brake wiring,” Cerullo said. “The defendant made statements to law enforcement at the time that when he hooked this trailer up on that day, he knew there wasn’t a battery because he saw the battery box was empty. He decided to drive anyway.”

The 2022 Sodexo Future Chefs Contest was held March 25 at Powhatan High School. Shown clockwise from top left: Rylee McNutt makes her Naruto’s Ramen dish with chef helper Jessie Fens; Chase Jones makes Arepas with chef helper Suzane Johnson; Jeremiah da Silva makes his Grandma Dodgen’s Chicken Tenders with Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts with chef helper Katie Moyer; the contestants all work to finish their dishes in the kitchen; Wyatt Stallworth talks about his Sloppy Joes to judges Eric Jones, Samantha Flippo, Mark Robertson and Kim Hymel, and Lanie Jastram plates her Best Banana Bread.
CHEFS Continued from pg. 1
The school division first participated in the Future Chef competition during the 2018-2019 school year but couldn’t in the last two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, said Dorothy Kohler, Sodexo Food Services director. She was excited to bring the contest back this year and to see so many students wanting to participate. The division received 17 initial entries between all three elementary schools, and two finalists were chosen from each school, she said. The students had a month to practice their dish before competition day. “The recipes were really a higher caliber than the last time we did this, I think because these students are older and a little more mature,” she said. “I also think elementary students are more into cooking because of the shows on TV. These kids were much more into it and had a lot more experience in cooking, so it was a lot more competitive and a lot of fun.” In choosing his recipe for the competition, Tiago said he was inspired by a food table scene in the animated movie “Encanto.” He loves food, especially dishes from his father’s birthplace, Ecuador, and likes helping out in the kitchen at home. Cooking in the kitchen at Pow-

hatan High School, where the contest was held, was an adjustment for the young chef, who is more familiar with his kitchen at home. But he enjoyed being in the room with all of the other young chefs and competing against them. “It was honestly pretty fun, but there is a joke my mom said – ‘yeah, I don’t have to cook anymore,’ ” he said, laughing. “It made me feel a lot of joy in myself.” Chase Jones was also inspired by the Arepas made in “Encanto” for his entry in the competition, although after he made them he found them “too cheesy” for his personal taste. Chase said he had never been in a competition like this, so he wanted to try out and see if he could get in and compete, but he wasn’t overly concerned about winning. Each student had a chef helper there for an extra pair of hands and to maintain a safe cooking environment. Three were Sodexo employees – Katie Moyer, Mary Smith and Suzanne Johnson – and three were PHS Culinary 3 students – Landon Hutchison, Jessie Fens and Ava Kahn. Chase said he was grateful for Johnson being his chef helper. “I thought it was fun. Miss Suzanne helped me out a lot. If it wasn’t for her the arepas probably would have been half burnt,” he said. Fellow competitor Rylee McNutt earned second place for her
Naruto’s Ramen dish, which was inspired by a favorite anime, as well as earning the Best Chef Hat Creation award for her origami dragonthemed hat. Rylee said she finds cooking fun and she enjoyed practicing for the competition. Once she got in the kitchen, she was nervous but she eventually relaxed, having fun making her dish and occasionally watching the other students at work. “It was very interesting to see what they were making – to see if I could get inspiration off of them if I ever make what they made,” she said. Mark Robertson, who is the culinary instructor at the high school, was a judge along with Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, school board chair Kim Hymel and Culinary 3 student Samantha Flippo. In addition to tasting their dishes, the judges asked the competitors about themselves, their dishes and their inspirations. Robertson said he was impressed with all of this year’s entries from the elementary school students. Tiago’s dish had good flavors, and it showed that he took the time to taste and season, Robertson said. “He just had a really well orchestrated plate. Everything went together and was really tasty,” he said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Earth Week bird watching fun and site cleanup In a partnership program with High Bridge Trail State Park, the Margaret Watson Bird Club will have volunteers on site to share their avian knowledge during a birding adventure on Saturday, April 23. Help our local bird club conduct a bird survey of wild birds on our park’s Rochelle Tract, located 1.6 miles east of Farmville along High Bridge Trail. This program will require participants to walk for about 2 miles of varied terrain. A modest level of fitness is required. Participants are to meet at the Charley’s parking lot in Farmville near the trail crossing with Main Street at 8:30 a.m. We will convoy in vehicles to an access to the program area. Visitors will find this outing enjoyable and informative at all knowledge and experience levels. We will conduct a brief cleanup on site just prior to the bird hike. We recommend sturdy, seasonal clothing. For more information, contact the High Bridge Trail State Park office at 434-315-0457, or email highbridgetrail@dcr.virginia.gov.

Spelling bee celebrates a love of language By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
I
t’s time to be a word nerd again. Around this time of year it has become a favorite tradition of mine to write a column inspired by my participation as a helper with the Richmond Times-Dispatch Regional Spelling Bee. The regional bee was held via Zoom again this year instead of the pre-pandemic tradition of a live competition in an auditorium at the Library of Virginia. The six top-scoring spellers participated in the regional bee held March 26 – vying for the chance to represent our region at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in June. The winner, Trey Felton from Northumberland Elementary, earned the right to represent the region at the national bee by correctly spelling “corollary” in Round 56. He beat Zainab Iqbal from Al Madina School of Richmond, but it was a close match. And by close I mean that for 55 of those 56 rounds, it was a match solely between the two of them. Their stamina was incredible. That said, with the bee lasting for 56 rounds, I had plenty of exposure to new words without having to thumb through the full word list, although I did it anyway. I can’t even begin to fully articulate how difficult some of these words are to pronounce, much less spell, so my hat is off to all six contestants for the work they put into getting ready for this bee. Now, on to the fun part – at least it is for me. But I am, as I mentioned above, a word nerd who enjoys exploring the wonderful world of language. For some reason, out of the 107 words used in the spelling bee (this includes practice and championship rounds), the one that tickled my fancy the most was pangram, which is a short sentence containing all 26 letters of the English alphabet at least once. A “perfect pangram” includes each letter only once. I knew this word at one time – some of you might remember learning it with a catchy sentence like “A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” The ex-
ample the bee had for the students in the “use the word in a sentence” portion included a different example of a pangram: “Jinxed wizards pluck ivy from the big quilt.” I have no idea why this entertained me so, but it did, and the other examples I found online were equally amusing. I always appreciate recognizing a word, especially in the later rounds. I knew that a clocher is a bell tower from my high school French classes. I admit to only being familiar with the existence of Santeria, a religion practiced originally in Cuba in which Yoruba deities are identified with Roman Catholic saints, because of some cop show I watched years ago that probably got all of the history and traditions wrong anyway. A Gila monster – a large stout sluggish venomous lizard that has a thick tail and a rough skin pinkish or dull orange marked with black – is an animal I do not need to meet, either in a zoo or its native arid regions like Arizona and New Mexico. I’ll trust National Geographic when it claims the lizard’s bite has not resulted in a reported human death, but the bit about its bite being “extremely painful” would still make me keep my distance. A mental image of watching westerns with my grandfather came to mind when one of the competitors was asked to spell spittoon, which was where tobacco chewers spit in those old movies. Now not being a musician, I was unaware that a tessitura is the part of the register in which most of the tones of a melody or voice part lie. Not being a gardener, the only thing I could imagine when reading that fastigiate referenced shrubs or trees that have branches clustered upwards was an image of the trees in photos of Tuscany. When beau sabreur was called, I could think of a few onscreen “dashing adventurers” who make you want to travel the world – or curl up for a good movie night. In a good historical movie, I might see a fleuret, a light fencing foil or small sword, in use. If those travels took me to Southeast Asia, I might have the chance to observe a binturong, also known
as a bearcat, in the wild. The definition is more confusing than the name itself, so if you want to know what a binturong looks like, I suggest looking it up. Their tails look magnificent, and the photos of them lazing about on tree limbs almost rival the cuteness of sloth photos. When Guggenheim was called, my mind immediately went to the museum in New York City designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. I was unaware there is also a game by that name in which the players decide on a keyword and a list of categories (such as cities, animals, tools) and then try within a time limit to fill in under each letter of the keyword a name beginning with the letter to fit each category. It sounds like it could pass some time on a road trip. As you can imagine from reading this column, it would be devastating to me to suffer from dysphasia, which is the loss of or deficiency in the power to use or understand language caused by injury to or disease of the brain. Finally, I am still trying to wrap my idea around the concept of alectryomancy, which is divination by means of a rooster encircled by grains of corn placed on letters of the alphabet which are then put together in the order in which the grains were eaten. I will freely admit that I immediately had some fun thinking about the practical applications of this one today in the decision-making process. I would adore it if some of our poultry owners in the county pose a question – for example, what is for dinner or what are we going to do for date night – and have your rooster choose your course of action out of available choices you pick and write down on pieces of paper with food on top of them. If you do this, PLEASE write us a letter to the editor (contact information is at the bottom of the opinion page) and share the results. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to return to oohing and aahing over photographs of napping binturongs. 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 With heightened tensions, be prepared for the worst Dear Editor, This old carcass has lived through a lot of things, but I want to talk about the current situation and the potential ramifications. My reading is that Putin is extremely frustrated. When he has reached his limit, he will do many irrational things, including attacking us and Europe in a number of ways. When it hits, it is likely to come very fast. Western society is very dependent upon energy/ electricity, banking and the internet. All of these can be attacked by his army of hackers. This is probably happening right now. Companies are on High Alert but one slip could spell disaster. As a kid, I remember the great Northeast blackout where everything went dark. Our country was very different then. We didn’t depend on all the things that we do today. The Middle East oil crisis - twice in the early 1970s was a very difficult time. The recent Colonial Pipeline shutdown that hit us was a wakeup call. I was on the road and within hours I started to notice gas stations closing. I didn’t have enough gas to get home but luckily, I found a station and got some before it closed down. This happened when a hacker stole 1 password. One password!!!! We can’t control what is going to happen but we need to formulate plans now to mitigate a major disruption in the short term. Here’s what I am doing. 1. Keeping all vehicles full. 2. Having extra cash (smaller bills) in case ATMs go down, bank computer systems are hacked, etc. 3. Charging up all lanterns and having batteries, etc. 4. Propane for gas grills. 5. Testing our generator and extra fuel. 6. Making sure we have needed medications. 7. Stocking up on nonperishable foods - no stuff that can go bad quickly.
8. Some bottled water (water is usually the last thing to be disrupted but an attack on the grid could put pumps out of action. Even with emergency generators they run on petroleum products). 9. Checking fire extinguishers. 10. Backing up computers and shutting them off when not in use to mitigate power surges. I have a battery backup on my computer in the office. There are others but you get the idea. Perhaps there is someone out there who can give us some tips on protecting electronic equipment. Remember proper prior planning prevents poor performance! I hope this is all for nothing. Richard F. O'Hare Powhatan County
One study is not definitive proof of mask effectiveness Dear Editor, The good DMV should know better than to offer up a one-off study as proof of anything (Powhatan Today 3/30/22, “Studies show masks help prevent spread of COVID-10). To do so is intellectually disingenuous and amounts to scientific method heresy. And had the hamster study resonated within the scientific community, I’d fully suspect it would have made front page headlines as soon as Dr. Walensky’s news release hit media inboxes, “CDC Declares Hamster Study Proof-Positive – Masks Work.” First, and foremost, to be conclusive, a researcher’s efforts must be conducted from within the rigor of a double-blind study. One including a description of methodology, control groups and the resulting data supporting the original hypotheses. In turn, the results must be published, preferably in a reputable journal, where all can be exposed to peer review, including efforts to replicate the results. Such rigor was not undertaken in the sited study. In the spirit of transparency, I note the referenced study was done out of China and released by the Department of Microbiology at The University of Hong Kong un-

der the supervision of Professor Yuen Kwok-yung. However, I don’t believe the study has been subjected to peer review and the double-digit hamster sample size calls statistical significance of the results into question. Plus, the work was done in 2020, well prior to anyone in the US being vaccinated even once, much less twice with a booster. Of critical importance is Dr. Beyer’s pronouncement does not take into account the risk/reward of forcing children to wear masks the entire school day. Masks that stray far from being “surgical” and certainly not worn properly throughout the day. Not to mention that the rate of infection, transmission, hospitalization and death in the those under 15 years of age DOES IN NO WAY justify the wearing of any face covering – no matter if the good doctor is correct in his assertion that the masks provide “protection”….which they don’t…. except for hamsters in cages. The following is offered as opinion ONLY since no psychological training, degreed or otherwise is claimed: “Modern psychology contends that without face we don’t exist as independent beings. The child looks in the mirror between the ages of two and three and is discovered as an independent being.” Perhaps, the reason as parents of our first child we were advised to include an unbreakable mirror in the crib as a method of contributing to his visual and cognitive development. So, isn’t it possible that the mask might well be the beginning of our abbreviating that development in our school-aged kids. I have some first-hand observational experience supporting the contention that my grandchildren are being raised in fear. Fear of not strapping on their masks even when walking along with me in an open parking lot. They are being taught to fear everything. “Prolonged fear is terror, and terror becomes trauma.” The psychological damage from mask wearing is real and I’m concerned may take many years to reverse. So let’s keep the surgical material on the hamster cages and off our children. We’ll all be better off for doing so. Robert Powers Powhatan County

EAGLE Continued from pg. 1
Scouts of America program. Nicholas Solzbach, Vincent Torrijos and Colin Weinhardt were honored with an Eagle Scout Court of Honor held March 27 at St. John Neumann Catholic Church. The young men, who are all members of Troop 832, were honored not only for the recent final steps to achieve the Eagle Scout rank but for the years of commitment it took to reach this point. To reach the rank, each young man had to earn at least 21 merit badges, which each NICHOLAS SOLZBACH exceeded, and plan, develop and give leadership to others in a service project. Nicholas Solzbach Nicholas Solzbach, 17, currently attends John Tyler Community College and was a Boy Scout for 11 years. He wants to attend James Madison University and study cybersecurity. For him, having good friends in his patrol and going on trips with all of them throughout the years made him want to stay involved as he loved the good memories he was making with them. There have been many friendships that he made through the years that went beyond Boy Scouts as they still stay in touch and hang out every so often. “I have learned a lot in scouting over the years and that has definitely helped me in life, as well as just made me an overall better person,” he said. Solzbach decided to become an Eagle Scout because he knew that not many people reach that achievement. He made it a personal goal to be one of those few and “it feels good knowing I can say I am one.” The idea for Solzbach’s Eagle Scout project came from his dad, who suggested doing something at Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center, a horse riding center dedicated to helping veterans with disabilities through the therapeutic effect horseback riding. Solzbach liked the idea and came up with a plan to create a peace garden for the veterans. The peace garden includes a working fountain, two benches and an umbrella so veterans could sit away from all the noise of everyone else and calm down to themselves. “This project is important to me, because I know that the veterans use my peace garden and they love it,” he said. He funded the project through St. John Neumann Catholic Church and had a number of people help him throughout the process. It took Solzbach six months from when he started planning to when he completed his Eagle Project in November 2019. He added he hopes the lasting legacy of his Eagle Scout project will be that his peace garden will continue to help people. Vincent Torrijos Vincent Torrijos, 17, is a PHS senior who has belonged to scouts since he was in the fifth grade. What has kept him

Commerce’s annual celebration on March 31, he insisted it wasn’t just about him. “There are people in our community that are more than happy to just hide and not try to make a difference because they are afraid,” Ickes said, getting emotional. “This award isn’t about an individual. It is about a community of people that would encourage someone to do exceptional things they would otherwise not.” To that end, the local business owner urged those in attendance to be that person who encourage others to get out of their comfort zone and make a difference or, if they need a mentor, to be brave and reach out. “You have nothing to lose; you have everything to gain,” he continued.
Hello Everyone, My name is Cooper, and I am around 8 yrs old. My owner passed away and I found myself looking for another home. I am a clean gentleman, I love my toys, I love my people, and I love to go on walks. I am also neutered, and up to date on my shots. In my picture you might notice I have a cherry eye, but that has since been removed thanks to the wonderful people who donate to our medical fund, because of outstanding people like you, I as well as others have been blessed with various medical treatment. I know there is a home for me out there, and I am not giving up. Please call 804-598-5672 and schedule an appointment to meet me, You will not be disappointed. I also Thank Brittany Rose Petochgraph for my awesome picture!

in so long was the feeling of self-improvement that came with every rank advancement and merit badge, he said. “I feel that Boy Scouts has given me a strong appreciation for nature, community service, and leadership I likely wouldn’t have developed otherwise,” he said. “I’ve met quite a few friends through scouts, and though most of our interests may differ, scouting gives us a place to just hang out and enjoy the few common ones.” Torrijos saw becoming an Eagle Scout as the end goal, and the simple act of reaching it was enough for him to strive for it, “though, it being the top, I feel a bit lost now that there’s nothing left to do VINCENT TORRIJOS within scouting.” His Eagle Scout project was a helmet rack and flag stand for Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center. The project came from the beneficiary, secretary and treasurer Karen Ylimaki after fellow Eagle Scout Nicholas Solzbach had his Eagle project there. “Their old helmet rack and flag stand were worn down, so they really needed the new equipment, and since the organization was dedicated to helping veterans, and through both my education in Junior ROTC and having veteran family members, I wanted to help them in any way I could,” he said. The project was funded via a public Kickstarter campaign and with a generous donation of materials by Home Depot, Torrijos said. He also showed appreciation for all the scouts, parents and representatives who helped make the project possible. It was almost a year in the making, primarily due to COVID-19, so finally getting to finish the project on Nov. 17, 2020, felt good, even though the paperwork led to the full completion date being pushed to almost a year after that. “I hope that the veterans and volunteers alike can look at my flag stand and be happy that an Eagle Scout allowed them to hoist and hold their flags with pride, and that same eagle Scout kept them safe on the road to recovery with a secure helmet rack,” he said. Torrijos added it is important to remember that, “at the end of the day, an Eagle Project isn’t necessarily about the project or service itself, though it is incredibly useful, but rather learning to plan, lead and manage a community service project.” “It’s a test in leadership skill rather than community service, which is why smaller projects count toward the rank just as much as bigger ones. It is to ensure that those who hold the rank, no matter how clever or with how many resources, are competent leaders who are more than well equipped to bring our society into a brighter future,” he said. Torrijos intends to attend John Tyler Community College, soon to be Brightpoint, under an English major, hoping to be a novelist. Colin Weinhardt Colin Weinhardt, 18, is a PHS senior who started Cub Scouts in first grade and crossed over to the Boy Scouts in sixth grade, where he has been ever since. There are a few things that kept Weinhardt in scouts, the biggest being his
Ickes is the 13th recipient of the Kathy Budner Award, which is given to a chamber member who has demonstrated a selfless contribution to local businesses and to the chamber. Recipients are chamber members whose service and performance positively reflects excellence as demonstrated through their work ethic and contributions to the Powhatan community. The award honors Budner, who was instrumental in starting the chamber in 1992 and served as its executive director for 16 years. During that time, membership spiked from 42 to more than 230. Budner was in attendance at the annual celebration, which was held at the Bienvenue event center in the Village. Budner said she had known Ickes “since he was as skinny young man who was starting his business and was kind of timid.” “I got the feeling he knew where he was going; he just didn’t know how he was going to get there. To see him blossom like this has been just a wonderful experience for me,” she said. “He is a wonderful part of the community.” Chamber board member Susan Ash added that Ickes is “very well-rounded in terms of everything that supports what the Kathy Budner Award is and what Kathy Budner was and is, but particularly when she was part of the chamber and what she did for the chamber.” Past recipients of the Kathy Budner Award of Excellence are: 2010, Larry Lyons; 2011, Ruth Boatwright; 2012, Dan Jones; 2013, Kathy Grasty; 2014, Susan Ash; 2015, India Cox; 2016, Connie Moslow; 2017, Carson Tucker; 2018, Michael Potter; 2019, Robbie Urbine, 2020, Janie Dean, and 2022, Tracey McClung. Brian Grizzard with New Horizon Bank introduced the award for Ickes, whom he praised highly. He talked about Ickes starting a vending machine business at age 15; learning to repair and rebuild computers in high school, and building an eBay business in college. He spoke about a career that took Ickes from being a college professor to his decision to open DRP Collision in Powhatan. Through the years, he continued to grow and evolve the business, which started with two employees but now has 23 employees, Grizzard said. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when so many businesses had to close their doors or lay off employees, DRP Collision used the time to streamline its processes and build out improvements in preparation for the return to normal. Ickes was also honored for mentoring other business owners and participating and taking leadership roles in organizations such as Powhatan Leadership Institute, BNI and the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce and its
friends. He had a few friends who crossed over with him into Boy Scouts who have stuck with it, but he also appreciates all the new people he has gotten to know. “I’ve gotten close to a lot of the scouts in the troops and the adults, too. I can tell that the younger scouts look up to me. I’ve made a lot of friends who I know will be there for me and I’ll be there for them. These are people who I trust and have a bond with,” he said. He also appreciates the feeling of achievement he got from ranking up or even just learning something new and using it in the real world. “Boy Scouts taught me how to be a leader and to think for myself. It’s done this COLIN WEINHARDT by teaching me that there is a lot more to life than just simple tasks such as school and sports,” he said. “Most of these lessons were learned later in scouts when I was no longer the younger but the older scout who was expected to lead and come up with activities and games for the troop to do.” Also a huge component was all the fun outings, whether it was the yearly ski trips, summer and winter camps, hiking in the mountains, or white water rafting, he said. “One year, we went to the Virgin Islands and lived on and learned how to sail a boat for a week. That is something I will never forget.” Weinhardt said he has wanted to be an Eagle Scout since he was in Cub Scouts, but what really made him decide to go for the rank was when he had a few months until he aged out and Quinn came to him and said, “Alright Colin it’s going to be now or never.” “I went home that night and started my paperwork for my project and got my application together. But it feels amazing having completed this milestone. I feel like now that I’ve done this I can do anything that I set my mind to and really want,” Weinhardt said. The idea for Weinhardt’s project actually came from his dad, who had had recently built a kayak rack for his boats at the family’s house and said he could do something similar for a park. His project was to build a kayak rack that can hold four boats at Tucker Park in Goochland. Weinhardt pitched his idea for a kayak rack to the Goochland director of parks and recreation and she liked it, which got the ball rolling. “It’s important to me because I like going out on the river for kayaking trips and even just floating down the river,” he said, “but more importantly it was something that was just an idea and it became a reality.” The total time from planning to completion was about three and a half month, which is considered fast but he added he also was running out of time quickly and needed to get it done. The project was completed Sept. 25, 2021. The project, which had a budget of about $650, was funded through donations from Weinhardt’s family. He reached his goal and the leftover money was donated to Goochland Parks and Recreation. “My friends and a few adults from the troop had volunteered to help with the project. It was especially hard to lead them because it is a group of my peers and my friends but we got the job done in one day,” he said.

board. “What Kendall has done and continues to do for Powhatan, the Chamber of Commerce and the business community at large is what the Kathy Budner Award embodies,” Grizzard said. In a separate interview after the award was presented, Ickes said he has a personality trait that drives his friends and family crazy – letting doubt convince him that he has not accomplished anything. “To get some recognition that I don’t feel like I really need, but to get that recognition is special and makes you feel good,” he said. “I am well aware that accountability and recognition are critical to any organization’s success. I am not used to being on the receiving end of the recognition piece so it is strange for me.” But he did circle back to appreciation for those who encouraged him to do things he never would have done otherwise, pointing out not only the difference that made in his life but the impact it has had on others through how he has been able to help and mentor them. “I am now the catalyst for change in their lives. The more I can do that, the more they can do the same thing and follow that model, I think that is how you can change the world,” he said. Ickes and his wife Margo have four daughters together, Carter, Reagan, Kensington and Madalyn. He is an avid beekeeper, a builder of 3-D prints, a machinist, teacher, welder, learner, gardener and LEGO aficionado.

It’s not often a team of Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot’s caliber gets stymied in front of net. In fact, it hadn’t happened all season before their rivalry matchup with Isle of Wight Academy. Kicking off the season with a perfect 5-0 record and averaging six goals per game, the Knights were held scoreless for the first time all season in a close 2-0 loss that saw them fall behind in the opening minutes of the first half. “We knew coming in that Isle of Wight would probably be the strongest team that we’d play this season, and that we’ll definitely see them again in the playoffs,” head coach Patrick Winterrowd said.

Somehow managing to add even more to his special performance, Bishop had two hits on four attempts at bat, recording two RBIs and two runs in the process. He was one of
three Knights to finish with two hits at-bat, with the team finishing in total with seven hits and five RBIs. The very next day in a game against Quantico, Bishop made a huge impact yet again, hitting a late two-run home run to hold off a late Quantico comeback attempt. The Knights won the game with a final score of 23-16.

Hamlin takes the lead late for win on home track By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
On Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Richmond Raceway, Chesterfield-native Denny Hamlin pulled ahead with five laps to go to steal a crucial firstplace finish for his first victory of the 2022 season. With the win, Hamlin is now 20th in the points race with 148. “Just drove as hard as I could,” Hamlin said after his late push toward the finish line. “Just so proud of this whole FedEx Camry team, man, just never giving up. There was no doubt in my mind, maybe just a little, but they got this car right there towards the end. Wow, unbelievable.” The victory is Hamlin’s fourth win and 20th top-10 finish in 31 races at Richmond Raceway, and much of the credit for his finish goes to excellent pit stop

of strong pitching and great plays in the outfield. Holding the Chiefs scoreless after the second inning, the Indians were then able to gain momentum when it was their time to bat. In the bottom of the fourth inning, that hitting momentum resulted in runs, with two hits bringing in two runs to make it 3-2 entering the fifth. Defensively, Powhatan continued its dominant play, quickly getting three outs with no errors and no one left on in the top of the sixth to leave the Chiefs frustrated and empty-handed. One noteworthy play at the top of the sixth came from first baseman Hayden Wasson, who made a lunging catch with his foot on the bag to get the second out. At bat, the Indians came away scoreless entering the seventh, but all

“Now we know how high the mountain is to climb, and I was heartened to see that we were closer than I thought.” The Chargers got on the board in the fourth minute of the game after getting a penalty kick from a handball in the box. The Knights responded well to that first goal, finding their rhythm and taking control of the possession battle for the majority of the first half. Chances in front of the net came for the Knights, including three quick free kicks just outside the 18yard box, but the Chargers deserve credit for their defensive fortitude. One of the best chances came on the third free kick, which found its way to the feet of senior Stephen Dinora in front of the net. Dinora made good contact on the ball with a shot-on-goal, but the goalie’s decision to slide low for the save proved the correct move, saving his team from a game-tying score. Later on in the first half, the Knights found another great opportunity

strategy that gave him fresh tires to close out the short-track race. The win, Hamlin says, is one he hopes gives the team momentum after a tough start to the season. “I don’t want to look
too far ahead because I certainly want to celebrate this one,” Hamlin said. “It sure is a positive sign considering how we ran as an organization at Phoenix.” Pulling in second behind Hamlin was Kevin
three batters got hits, continuing their trend of improved offensive play. At the top of the seventh, the Indians once again produced stops, catching a pop fly, striking out the second batter and getting a grounder toward second base out before the hitter reached first base. With a chance to extend or win the game in the final inning, the Indians stepped up to the plate and tied things up after a grounder near third base by McMinn toed the line and resulted in a double, and a line drive by sophomore Hunter Beil tipped off the glove of Monacan’s third baseman and gave McMinn just enough time to head home to make it a 3-3 game. In the eighth inning, the Chiefs received the first chance to reclaim the lead, but were met by two fantastic plays by outfielder Carter Dawson, who caught two outs near the centerfield fence and at right field.
After a third out, the Indians had a chance to take its first lead of the game to win, and they did not disappoint. Powhatan’s comeback started with a single by senior Drew Cheatham, who then stole second on the pitch and third off an errant pitch that found its way to the back fence. “Coach has a lot of confidence in me stealing so I decided that if I got on base that I was going to go, and he gave me the green light,” Cheatham said. With senior Thomas Robinson at bat, his sacrifice fly sent Cheatham home, capping off an incredible comeback that pushed the Indians to a 3-1 record on the season and honored a well-respected figure in Powhatan baseball in the best way this program knows how. The Indians play again on April 12, when they take on Clover Hill on the road.
to score, this time through their short passing and quick decision-making. A linkup between Dinora, Kenny Hickey and Nick Hickey gave Nick Hickey space in the middle of the net that was once again blanketed by a tremendous save to keep the Knights scoreless heading into halftime. In the second half, the Chargers’ offensive attack began creating more pressure on goalie Tyler Jenkins, though he stayed composed defending the goal. In a low-scoring affair such as this one, credit also goes to Huguenot’s back line for holding together during every threatening offensive attack sent their way. Defenders Josh Decker, Kennedy Dowdy, Jeb Hatfield and Patrick Maynes all played as a unit and stepped up to the challenge of defending a strong Chargers offense. With the clock winding down and their chances growing more desperate to level the score, the Knights sent an all-out blitz on net to steal a late goal, but it only led to denied chances and a fast break run toward net for the Chargers that produced a dagger goal with
two minutes remaining to end their undefeated streak. The goal just barely grazed the fingertips of Jenkins, who nearly made a miraculous save to keep it a one-goal game. Despite the loss, the Knights didn’t keep their heads down in the postgame huddle, instead using this as a wakeup call and learning experience to continue improving. The season, Winterrowd says, is far from over for the Knights. “There’s always positives coming from a loss,” junior Jackson Hawkins said. “Most of the time, a loss is going to give you the most information about how the season’s going to go, and we’re just going to take this loss and keep improving because we’re looking to see this team in the championship.” With a rematch against Isle of Wight on April 6 along with a tough matchup against Greenbrier Christian Academy on April 8, the Knights will look to get back to their winning ways after their first loss of the season.

been a constant thorn in the sides of defenders this season. The lethal forward gave the Indians a 2-0 lead with a header. Competing with the keeper for the aerial, Sloan leapt for the ball and smashed it toward the open net with just over 17 minutes left to play to give Powhatan a two-goal advantage. “We set the tone for what we wanted to do, and the chances just didn’t finish our way,” head coach Willie Miles said. “We had to collect ourselves toward the first part of the second half and the guys just got to what they know best.”
in the final stretch. “The lap cars there kind of got in the way, and I lost a little bit of ground,” Harvick said. “Still a great day for us, just hopefully a little momentum in a positive direction.” Rounding out the top-5 were drivers William Byron, Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Larson. Truex Jr. led on four separate occasions for 80 laps and also was in contention to win the race at the end, but he ultimately had to settle for fourth. “It’s frustrating,” he said after the race. “But that’s part of it here. It’s part of the whole day. Obviously we did good there for a while.” Ryan Blaney, 28, started the race off in pole position after a strong performance in his Team Penske Ford Mustang in practice and in qualifying. Blaney won Stage 1 and led through Lap 129 for the
longest leading run of the day; the stage victory was his third of the season. Blaney is now tied at the top of the points standings with 241 points next to Chase Elliott. There were three cautions during the course of the 400-lap race, with one coming in Stage 1 after Kurt Busch had to stop due to low fuel pressure, ending his chances of contention early. He ended the race with a DNF. There were two threecar incidents later in the race, with one at Lap 247 after Cody Ware hit the wall on the backstretch after contact with Erik Jones. The next caution came on Lap 258 when contact between Ty Dillon and Cole Custer led to Austin Cindric losing control. The next race in the NASCAR Cup Series is on Saturday, April 9 at the Martinsville Speedway.
Two minutes later, Sloan scored yet again, retrieving a well-placed pass by junior Connor Nickerson to beat the keeper in the open field for the team’s second goal in as many minutes. Sloan only needed to poke the ball past the rushing keeper to earn his brace. Sloan credits the work of his teammates for his success as a goalscorer, though he believes they are still building up their team chemistry. “As a unit, we’re still working on chemistry because we come from a lot of different clubs, but we have a lot of spirit here,” Sloan said. Adding to the late scoring onslaught was junior Fischer Daniel, who made
a run to the left side of the box that was sparked by a nice outlet pass by goalie Tucker Thomas. Seeing the keeper once again charge out of the box, Daniel cleverly chipped the ball up just high enough in the air to sail over the diving goalie for a score that punctuated an overall dominant second half performance by the Indians. The win gives Powhatan loads of confidence entering its spring break, as they find themselves competing at the top of a loaded Dominion District. They will look to continue their winning ways when they play again on April 12 in a matchup with the 2-1 Clover Hill Cavaliers.

hatan up 1-0 in the team score by defeating Monacan’s Izaak Brown 6-1 in both sets. Isaac Kelley of Powhatan controlled his match by going strokefor-stroke with varying touch and power, defeating senior Ajai Upadhyaya 6-3 and 6-1. After Monacan earned its first win, Powhatan would then seal the team match by winning the next three matches. Powhatan’s Kayden Rogers kept his opponent under pressure with great baseline rallies and a soft feathery drop shot at the net. After Rogers took the first set 6-2, Monacan player Chris Counoupas started pounding great out-of-
reach cross-court shots from both backhands and forehands to go up 4-3 in the second set. A hard fought eighth game in the second set proved to be the decider. The two exchanged points back and forth until Rogers won two consecutive points to pull even at 4-4. Then, Rogers refocused to win the next two games, finally winning the match. Noah Lawson of Powhatan took the third singles position by defeating Will Dossick 6-4 and 6-2, thus giving Powhatan the advantage match with a 4-1 lead. Powhatan player Samuel Kernstine was not waiting to have the team match score settle with the doubles. Monacan’s Andon Simpson was winning the second set and trying to
force a final set tiebreaker, but Kernstine closed out the final two games to win the match and make the team score 5-1 from singles, giving Powhatan a team match victory. In doubles, Powhatan won the first and second positions, but fell to Monacan at the third position. The Powhatan pair of Rusin and Wallace proved too strong for Monacan’s Howard and Brown as they won 8-1. Monacan would not go away silently and took the third doubles as Upadhyaya and Simpson defeated Nathan Anderson and Aaron Sharpe, 8-3. Rounding out their matchups in the doubles events, the Indians did well in the final four matches to finish strong in front of fans to take a much-needed victory.

Boys lacrosse looking to build off 3-3 start to season By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
Entering a break in regular season play, the Powhatan boys lacrosse team has a week to prepare for an eight-game stretch against a slew of competitive opponents. Sitting at 3-3 to start the season, the Indians have demonstrated an ability to win games both in the form of dominant beatdowns and clutch nail-biters. They’ve also shown at times to be overmatched by programs that have reached a level of postseason success that the Indians aspire to obtain. For head coach Joe Niles, the key to success for this group is to focus on consistently building up the good habits that have led to those three wins. "The big thing is the consistency of our effort,” Niles said. “In order for us to be successful, it really boils down to working hard and having that consistency for an entire game." A lot of that early-season success has been built on the foundation of

experience that the Indians have cultivated over the last six years of Niles’ coaching tenure. Boasting a roster that features
nine juniors and seven seniors, Niles hopes the leadership he’s seen this season will guide the program to new heights.
"I always make sure our seniors understand how important their job is as a senior for that leadership role,” he said.
“We rely on our seniors to lead the team and help the younger players understand the culture of our program."
