Supervisors pass 77-cent tax rate, $109M budget Board eliminates license fee; despite reductions bills still expected to rise By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors made some big decisions on May 18, with a mix of votes that saw them, among other decisions, adopting a reduced tax rate that still represents a tax increase; adopting the fiscal year 2023 operating budget; eliminating a $35 vehicle license fee levied on every vehicle in the county; eliminating the county’s revenue stabilization fund, and not taking action to reduce the impact inflated vehicle valuations are going to have on personal property bills. The board’s meeting last Wednesday lasted three hours and touched on a myriad of topics, with both unanimous and divided votes. At the root of most of the decisions the board made was deciding how they planned to act – or not act – to balance accomplishing county business while lessening the burden on Powhatan residents at a time when staggering inflation, assessments and personal property valuations are hitting hard.

How hard the board’s May 18 decisions will hit residents will depend on a number of factors, including their 2022 reassessments, their incomes, and their vehicles, as the board did pass some measures that night and previously designed to provide relief. Powhatan County residents will see the impact of this budget season’s decisions on their June 2022 tax bills, which will be mailed out later than usual. Issues with holding public hearings pushed the board’s decision on the tax rate back to last week. As a result, the board voted unanimously to extend the due date of tax bills until June 24 to allow the county to send out bills that reflect all of the May 18 decisions. The penalty date will still be on the day after the due date, but the interest date was extended to Aug. 1. Tax rate The supervisors voted unanimously to adopt a real estate tax rate for Calendar Year (CY) 2022 of 77 cents per $100 of assessed value. This is the rate that taxpayers will pay on their June and November 2022 bills. This decision was passed in a unanimous 5-0 vote by chair Mike Byerly, who represents District 3; David Williams, District 1; Steve McClung, District 2; Bill Cox, District 4, and Karin Carmack, District 5. The 77-cent rate is a reduction from the CY 2021 rate, which was 79 cents per $100 of assessed value. However, because of an increase in real estate assessments, Powhatan County’s actual 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 that the 77-cent rate, while a reduction from last year’s real estate tax rate, is still a two-cent increase. How it will impact homeowners will depend on their assessments, but most property owners are likely to see an increase on their real estate tax bills. County administrator Ned Smither sent a review of budget changes document to the board members on Friday, May 13 that showed the county would lose $858,539 in revenue by reducing from 79 to 77 cents. Discussion about the tax rate has been tense for weeks, with McClung, Byerly and Carmack maintaining a stance of adhering to a plan made last budget season to keep a stable 79-cent tax rate from year to year, with the understanding they don’t have the power to bind future boards. Meanwhile, Williams and Cox argued that, while they voted last year to keep the stable rate, they couldn’t have foreseen the way residents are being hammered – in soaring reassessments, inflation, gas prices and more. The conversation took a turn at the board’s May 3 meeting, where it was never stated outright but implied that there had been a shift among board members and a tax rate lower than 79 cents seemed to be on the table. That concession seemed to open the floodgates at that May 3 meeting, with board members tossing out nusee SUPERVISORS, pg. 4

By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – When the Clothes Closet operated by the Woman’s Club of Powhatan closed in mid-2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was a lost resource in Powhatan for people on a tight budget who need to clothe their families. As months – and then more than a year – went by, Sandra Cowles, a club member and volunteer at the store, couldn’t stop thinking about that need that wasn’t being filled locally in the community anymore. While she couldn’t see salvaging the whole

concept, Cowles of Powhatan started thinking about one area where it might be possible to help – children’s clothes. “After the Clothes Closet closed I started thinking we should open up a Closet particularly for children because I think they were the hardest hit during COVID,” she said. After months of planning and people stepping up to help, that is exactly what is going to happen. On June 7, Just Kids, a shop selling gently used clothing for children from newborns to size 8 will open in the youth building of May Memorial Baptist Church, located at 3922 Old Buck-

ingham Road. The shop will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays and sell clothing and shoes only for $2 a bag full. Proceeds from the shop will be used to purchase special items like winter coats for local families. The Rev. Michael Edwards, senior pastor of May Memorial Baptist Church, said Cowles, who is a church member, reached out to him in early 2022 with the request for May Memorial to house the shop. He was impressed that she didn’t present him with a concept but with an actionable plan. see JUST KIDS, pg. 3

Village Park comes together as county works with donors By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently heard about and approved changes to a Village Park project that is currently under construction. During the board’s meeting on Wednesday, May 18, county administrator Ned Smither gave the board an update on a small park being built near the corner of Marion Harland Lane and Old Buckingham Road. The park, which caused a great deal of tension between the board members toward the end of 2021, seemed poised to be a hot issue again last week but ultimately moved forward with only a robust discussion. The park itself was approved in a split vote on see PARK, pg. 5

According to the proclamation, “the safety of our sheriff’s deputies, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel is dependent upon the quality and accuracy of information obtained from citizens who telephone the Powhatan County Emergency Communications Center.” The proclamation also read, “Public Safety Communication Officers with Powhatan County’s Public Safety Department are the first and most critical contact our citizens have with emergency services and are the single vital link for our deputies, firefighters, and emergency services personnel through monitoring their activities by radio, providing them information and ensuring their safety.” Accepting the proclamation at the meeting were Tom Nolan, from left, Kimberly Schmitt and David Samuel.

All of the clothes would be items from consignment shops that didn’t sell within a set time, which Cowles had already arranged, negating the need to constantly ask the public for clothing donations. This also helps ensure a consistently higher quality inventory. However, monetary donations are welcome. Eventually they might seek volunteers from the public, but at least in the beginning, church members and former Clothes Closet workers have been stepping up to volunteer. “She is a very detailed oriented person who can see something from an idea to it actually taking place,” Edwards said. “Honestly by the time she brought it to me she had done a lot of the ground work.” Edwards and Cowles went to the church’s leadership council, which approved the plan. In April, a team was formed consisting of Cowles, Sophie Edwards, Laura Young, Becky Thomas and Nancy Wood to coordinate getting the project started. Edwards said he appreciated that it quickly became an intergenerational project, with volunteers ranging from high school to senior citizens stepping up to help by cleaning the space, building racks, developing a logo, organizing volunteers, sorting and hanging clothes, and more. Over the weekend, volunteers spent hours sorting clothing Cowles has been picking up to make sure the store had a nice inventory when it opened.

After Byerly made the motion to eliminate it, the majority of the discussion that followed until the 3-2 vote was taken touched on the $35 fee but mostly in comparison to a proposal to address how to mitigate the impact of inflated vehicle values on personal property bills.

merous possibilities of making cuts to revenue sources, some of which they followed up on last week. Despite being such a point of contention before, the tax rate was actually one of the quickest decisions of the May 18 meeting, with only Cox offering much comment, giving a presentation about the county being able to afford reducing the tax rate and not being as financially fragile as some claim, he said. After that, the board voted unanimously on McClung’s motion to pass a 77-cent tax rate. While many residents will be impacted by the tax increase, the board previously gave the promise of relief to some of the county’s most vulnerable adult citizens. During the board’s March 28 meeting, the board voted unanimously to amend the county’s code of ordinances to increase the maximum relief on taxes for the elderly and people with disabilities from $800 to $1,600. Smither told the board at the time that this change would cost the county about an additional $200,000. That was the same night the board was unified on fixing the calendar year 2022 personal property tax rates, although there was discussion on May 3 about possibly lowering the long-established $3.60 rate. Vehicle license fee Up until May 18, Powhatan County levied a license fee of $35 on every vehicle in the county. The board voted 3-2 in favor of eliminating that fee, with Byerly, McClung and Carmack supporting it and Williams and Cox opposing it. When Byerly first proposed this cut on May 3, it seemed to have general support from all board members as it would save residents $35 for every vehicle they owned. With so many people owning multiple vehicles, and most owning at least one, it was viewed that getting rid of the fee could touch a wider swath of people. The review of budget changes document that was sent to the board members on May 13 showed the county would lose $1,198,160 in revenue with the elimination of the license fee. The dissent on the issue at last week’s meeting stemmed in large part from Cox and Williams saying the license fee was a small savings for taxpayers when stacked against a substantial increase in the personal property taxes people would be seeing on their bills (see next section). They didn’t seem opposed to eliminating the fee – Williams even called it a “great idea” – but they were opposed to only eliminating the fee.

Personal property taxes The county has to assign a fair market value for vehicle assessments using a recognized pricing guide (Powhatan uses J.D. Power). Based on those numbers, commissioner of the revenue Jamie Timberlake said there is as much as a 40% increase in vehicle values, which is going to increase most residents’ personal property tax bills. Timberlake sent an email to the board of supervisors in February 2021 warning them of the dramatic rise in car values impacting personal property tax revenues, meaning citizens are paying higher taxes. He sent the board another email on Jan. 25, 2022, giving them the same warning. “Last year this resulted in approximately $2.5 million increase in the (personal property) book which was not true growth but inflated assessments due to the market value increase,” Timberlake wrote on Jan. 25. “This year the values are up even higher again due to the continued strain on the supply system in the auto market.” Several board members admitted last week that they did not listen to Timberlake’s warning. In the May 13 budget review document Smither sent the board members, it laid out that the county is expecting an increase in the personal property tax estimated at $2,911,126. (More on how this excess revenue will be used in the budget section.) Williams advocated for a plan that Timberlake had offered that proposed adjusting the tax bills before they are sent out to lower the percentage the county taxes them at (vehicles would be assessed at 100% but taxed at a percentage of that) so taxpayers’ bills would be more in line with a normal depreciation level were it not for this high assessment “bubble.” There was a discussion about this choice being “smoke and mirrors” but Timberlake said he wouldn’t recommend it longterm, only as a tool to deal with the current situation. When Williams initially presented the plan, it would have involved pushing back the due dates for personal property tax bills until after the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 2022, which McClung, Byerly and Carmack adamantly opposed, saying it was not good practice and worrying about the impact on the audit and the budget. see SUPERVISORS, pg. 6

tioned her greatest passion in life – pleasing people. Daughter Tracy Cifers said her mom could best be described with a joke they used to share about what words could immortalize Dean on her tombstone. so often when someone visited Dean’s home and complimented something she had, she would say, “you can have it.” “She was just so giving. Her own landlord used to joke she was her own worst enemy because she put everyone before herself,” Cifers said with a smile. Dean had three children – Cifers, Amy Dean Elliott and the late John Brian Dean – and three grandchildren. But she also created a second family through her restaurant. Cifers described how much her mother meant to longtime friends and employees through the years such as John Rothert, Duane Brown, Ernestine Johnson, Joe Downs, Robin Freeman, Will Schaffer, Bryan Donohoe, Sally Holladay, Sandy Shortridge, Jackie Moehling and Natasha Slagle. Senior server Sally Holladay said it was her genuine privilege and honor to work with Dean side by side for over 21 years. She said she will never forget one of the first things Dean told her when she started working for County Seat all those years ago. “Janie said she wanted everyone who

came into the restaurant to be treated like they were guests in her home. If you ever had the opportunity to be a guest in Janie’s home, you understood precisely what it felt like to be welcomed with graciousness and warmth,” Holladay said. “As a role model for all of us, I have always remembered that and try to replicate her goodness and charm when caring for our guests at the restaurant.” No matter how chaotic the day may have been at work or how exhausted she was from “basically working 24/7,” Dean always made sure she greeted each employee as they came in and thanked them as they left, Holladay added. Robin Freeman, who has worked for County Seat for 25 years, said Dean wasn’t just a boss; she was her second mom. “She was genuine and welcoming and I felt like I was part of the family from the second week because that is how she made you feel,” Freeman said. “She was so genuine and always had a helping hand. Before we could even ask for something we needed, she would come to us and say, ‘Are you OK? Do you need anything?’ ” Dean took over the Udderly Delicious snack bar located inside Maxey’s Store (until recently the home of Four Seasons Restaurant) in 1993 and renamed it the County Seat. She kept her business there until 2001, when the res-

PARK Continued from pg. 1

Nov. 22, with Steve McClung, who represents District 2; chair Mike Byerly, District 3, and Karin Carmack, District 5, voting to approve it and David Williams, District 1, and Bill Cox, District 4, voting against it. The biggest news in Smither’s update last week was that the park, which was approved with a $50,000 estimated budget, would not cost the county anywhere near that amount thanks to Carmack and Byerly reaching out to local businesses about donating goods and services. During the course of that discussion, one hiccup arose when it was revealed that the logistics of the site’s topography had led to the relocation within the design of a water feature. When the board approved the park, which was not a project in the county’s capital improvement plan (CIP), the only information provided to the public was a rough color drawing of a proposed pollinator park and a non-itemized $50,000 construction cost estimate provided by Timmons Group, as well as an estimate of $800 annually in maintenance costs. Carmack said she asked that concerns previously made by board members be taken into consideration when working on the final design of the park. One of the main changes, she said, was an added water feature. When the park was approved, the motion McClung made at that time was to “replicate the Timmons plan,” which was approved by the 3-2 vote. County attorney Tom Lacheney recommended the board hold another vote last week to adopt deviations from or modifications to the plan, using a more detailed drawing from

taurant moved to its current location, a new building built by John Rothert – something for which Dean always remained grateful. Dean and her family worked hard to build the restaurant up and keeping it going through the years – sometimes too hard. Thinking back to all the dishes the restaurant has been known for through the years such as fried chicken, homemade pies, and cobblers, Cifers’ mind first went to the bread her mom insisted be made from scratch. “She made so much bread she actually developed a gluten intolerance with her hands,” Cifers said. “She made everything from scratch. She was adamant about that. She was a people pleaser and she wanted to offer people something they couldn’t get somewhere else.” So many of her best memories with her mom are tied to the restaurant where they worked together since Cifers started with the business 24 years ago. One of her favorite memories is of the pair working in the kitchen late at night baking cheesecakes. When they were pulling them out, one of them flipped and fell on the oven. “We sat down and ate it off the oven.” Dean’s contributions were recognized in 2020, when she was named the 11th recipient of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce’s annual Kathy Budner Award of Excellence. The award is given

Balzer & Associates as a guide with the wording “substantial compliance” allowing for more leeway if modifications are needed. The board did eventually approve that recommendation in a unanimous vote. However, the discussion to get to that point had a few key points. Smither started off the discussion with the update about the park and news about the donors. Several trees were cleared from the site in recent months, and work has begun on the paths. He offered a cost estimate that put the Village Park total at $64,526. Of that amount, $20,592 would be paid for by the county and $43,934 is donations. According to Smither’s presentation, donors already include a AARP Community Challenge Grant, Watkins Nurseries, Luck Stone, Yard Works, Boulder Center, Aqua Virginia, Bruce Lapierre, Powhatan Anti-Litter Council, Central Virginia Waste Management Authority and Sign Design. The donations range from $550 to $16,000, depending on the items. The discussion that followed was driven initially by Cox, who asked pointed questions about the project and who is managing it, saying there is no transparency on the project or who is spearheading it. He asked why this project seems to be getting special treatment and pushed through so quickly as well as being led by a “mini committee” run by Carmack and Byerly. Smither said staff is excited about the project and has been pleased with the community support it is receiving, which is in large part driven by Carmack and Byerly reaching out and seeking support. “It has taken off. It is on fire. People want to partici-

pate,” Smither said. Carmack said she has been working with public works staff closely on the project and that, based off of the list of items needed for the park, she and Byerly have been calling different people in the community to see if they wanted to support the endeavor. “Candidly I took a … very special interest in this park because I know it created a lot of controversy,” she said. “Some board members were really upset with it, so I really wanted this to be perfect, to be totally honest with you and I wanted to make sure we were not over budget, we came far under budget, and it was something that the county could be really proud of.” She added there is no effort to hide anything and that changes made to the original Timmons plan were in direct response to the criticisms from Cox and Williams in the fall. There was a change to add a water feature, she said, but key elements like a pavilion, native plants, pollinator plants and walking paths remain the same. Cox said he is not trying to instigate another board fight about the park or shut it down, but he did want to bring the project into the “daylight.” He said he wants information on the county website people can search and find. Before the board voted, Williams raised reservations with voting on something he had not seen, especially the vague term “water feature.” After looking at the new schematic and an example of a “pondless waterfall” found on the internet, the board eventually held the vote to update the plan.

While the board was discussing, Timberlake and treasurer Becky Nunnally conferred and said that to make this change in the bills before the end of the fiscal year, personal property tax due dates would needed to be extended to June 29 and the board would have needed to make a decision that night. The kink in the plan for McClung, Byerly and Carmack came with its execution. At the time of the meeting, neither the constitutional officers nor staff could accurately project the reduced percentage the county would need to value vehicles at to bring bills down to a more normalized amount and eliminate that additional $2.9 million the county expects to receive in excess personal property tax revenue. Williams and Cox proposed Timberlake work with Nunnally, Smither and key finance staff to determine what that

Spring is a wonderful time to get out and experience these gardens. To encourage residents to come out and see what’s growing, the GPMGA will hold a free Scavenger Hunt at the Fighting Creek Park Native Plant Trail on Sunday, June 12 at 2 p.m. The garden is in Fighting Creek Park at 2200 Mann Rd, Powhatan, 23139. It follows the 1/4 mile loop trail behind the Powhatan County Library. This is a free event for everyone and families are encouraged. The scavenger hunt will consist of finding some favorites among the 150 species of native plants marked with signs on the trail. Both adults and children will have fun while enjoying the beauty of nature. Prizes will be given so participants can celebrate their success. Registration is not required. Just arrive a few minutes before 2 p.m. on June 12 and get ready to begin your hunt.

percentage was, but the other three supervisors were not comfortable with passing the plan without a set figure. Byerly also said that even if they got a rate and started the process, they would be relying on everything in the process to go perfectly. One of the big reservations with trusting that can happen involves the struggles the county has faced with the implementation of Keystone Information Systems, its new mass appraisal system and countywide ERP system. He pointed out staff repeatedly reporting how Keystone was not performing as it should and their confidence in it was low. The eventual vote on this matter did not come until after the budget was passed, with Williams making a motion to implement the plan to extend the personal property bill due date to June 29 and have staff come up with the correct percentage to eliminate the “bubble.” However, the motion failed in a 2-3 vote,

If you can’t make it out on June 12, the Fighting Creek Park Native Plant Trail is open to the public during all park hours. The GPMGA volunteers maintain the trail as an educational display of native plants. Visitors can learn about native plants that thrive in Central Virginia by observing them growing along the trail. Native plants attract a variety of birds, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife by providing diverse habitats and food sources. Native plants are also crucial as host plants, or food, for pollinators. Without pollinators such as the hummingbirds, bats, bees, beetles, butterflies and flies that carry pollen from one plant to another, it is estimated that 40% of the fruits, vegetables and nuts that humans eat would disappear. Because native plants and animals have evolved together, they support each other, and humans enjoy the beauty and fruits or their labor. Typically, native plants are more disease resistant, drought resistant, pest resistant and deer resistant than non-natives. For Virginia home gardeners, these attributes mean native plants are typically lower maintenance than non-native plants.

with Cox and Williams supporting it. This vote means most personal property tax bills will see a significant increase. Balancing the budget The board voted 3-2 in favor of passing a proposed budget of $109,908,958 net of transfers. Byerly, McClung and Carmack voted to pass the budget and Williams and Cox voted against it. The adopted FY2023 budget represents a $9.83 million (9.8%) increase from the FY2022 adopted budget. The board has talked about different aspects of the budget in the past. Some – but not all – of the key features of this approved budget are a 5% raise for all county and school employees; fully funding the school budget as proposed by Smither, including a $2.1 million increase in the county transfer; covering a 19.1% increase in health insurance rates for county employees, and $400,000 to address compression issues for county employees. While there had been talk about making changes to some of those or to projects in the county’s capital improvement plan (CIP) during other workshops and meetings, they were all adopted in the budget as discussed. However, where there was apparently confusion that wasn’t cleared up until after the budget was already passed came with how the budget was balanced in the face of cutting two cents from the tax rate and eliminating the license fee. According to Smither’s May 13 budget review document, the board would eliminate $858,539 in revenue by lowering the tax rate two cents to 77 cents and $1,198,160 by eliminating the license fee. The way the May 13 budget review document proposed offsetting that total reduction of $2,056,699 in revenue – as well as reducing the amount of the county’s fund balance being used for pay-as-

see SCAVENGER HUNT, pg. 7

you-go CIP projects by $854,427 – was to use the $2.911 million in personal property increases. That means the tax reduction, elimination fee and part of the CIP will be paid for with the excess revenues brought in by the inflated vehicle values. There was a good deal of confusion on this issue as Williams’ motion to follow the plan regarding reducing the personal property tax rates by an as-yet-unknown percentage came after the budget was passed. Cox, Williams and Timberlake had said a few times that returning the $2.9 million to taxpayers would not impact the budget as it was not built into the current budget figures, apparently not immediately understanding that, by passing the budget, the money had already been budgeted to offset the reductions the board voted on earlier to the real estate tax rate and with the elimination of the license fee. Revenue stabilization fund The board also voted 3-2 in favor of ending the county’s revenue stabilization fund and returning those funds to the general fund balance. Byerly, McClung and Carmack voted for this action and Williams and Cox against. Before it was eliminated, the fund, which was adopted in 2020 in reaction to the uncertainty about COVID-19, accrued 3% of the total annual adopted general fund budget, plus the non-local portion of the school operating fund budget, over and above the 15% fund balance minimum the county currently keeps. Finance director Charla Schubert said in a separate email May 18 that the reservation of fund balance for the revenue stabilization fund was $2,861,863 as of June 30, 2021. The county will not have an updated number until the end of the current fiscal year.

Young artists bring big impact in special exhibit By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

ave you ever looked at a piece of artwork and felt yourself getting lost in it? Or better yet, have you ever felt like you were finding part of yourself in a piece of art? To be completely honest, I am not in any way an art aficionado. In my travels, I have stood in museums in front of some of some of the world’s great masterpieces and felt nothing and then walked a few steps and felt like sinking to a bench and staring at another piece for hours. While there are downsides to being mostly uneducated about “great art,” the one upside is that it tends to lead to admiration without pretension. It’s not about the name or the monetary value of a painting; it’s about the emotion it can evoke that draws my appreciation. That doesn’t equate to not knowing the difference between the mastery that produced pieces in the Louvre over some of the fantastic pieces of student art that were on display for a few months as part of Powhatan County Public Schools’ Youth Art Month Exhibit. What it does mean, at least for me, is being open to the beauty and emotion you can find in artists of all skill levels to a certain degree. So when Powhatan High School Art teacher Stephanie Wirt put out information about her AP Art students’ final exhibition at the War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center this month, it sounded intriguing. Art by 10 students that were produced over the last school year was on display throughout the big room:

Owen Franklin, Meagan Lively, Peyton Baker, Belle Koelzer, Traci Vaughan, Lindsay Freeman, Miranda Dearbeck, Logan Anthony, Olivia Seaver and Hayden Beasley. Student Preston Pullin was a special guest artist in the show. Each student’s display represented a “sustained investigation of a chosen concept or idea,” Wirt told me. Some of the concepts represented there were emotion through portraits, endangered animals, emotional and mental illnesses and fashion. It didn’t matter what the chosen media was, because “as long as you can see the unifying concept, it is a series.” “That is what we focus on – how many ways you can vary an idea,” Wirt said. “That comes to media, that comes to perspective. There are quite a few of the kids who went more than half the year trying different media to finally find the one that really clicked. “They found their style in the process, and I want to jump up and down. I am excited because that is when they find their most success. What is difficult is getting kids to experiment, because they are afraid of failing,” she added. Wandering and enjoying the art on my own while reading the artists’ statements to get some context was lovely. The breadth and skill demonstrated by the students and the tremendous variety and quality produced by such a small group was wonderful to explore. Bravo to teachers across the disciplines who find ways to showcase their students’ talents to the community. What was even more illuminating was speaking to some of the students about their portfolios of work and how they progressed when creating them.

Owen Franklin, a PHS senior, went with a topic I never would have imagined – Victorian and Edwardian medicine, drawn by the era being a time with significant medical advances and highly questionable practices. He talked about how his focus shifted to the impact art from the time period has on our understanding of medicine of the day. He also touched on aspects of that era that mirror issues of today, such as pandemic, war, the opioid crisis, debates of personal responsibility and distrust in medicine. I appreciated how Owen talked about the various media he tried through this project and the setbacks he faced when he completely hated a piece he had finished and felt compelled to try again. Fellow senior Meagan Lively focused on the physical and emotional effects of endangered species. She also talked to me about struggling throughout the school year to find a medium that worked for what she wanted to accomplish. She finally arrived at pen and ink, finding it worked best with the detail she wanted to capture the right emotion for each piece. “It definitely affected me a little bit just because people are still continuing to hunt them. I just wanted to show the pain they go through and portray that to people who are viewing my artwork,” she said. Like I said earlier, I am not an art aficionado. But I was impressed with the young artists’ talents and depth. Whether it was the work of a student trying to break the stigma of ADHD or that of a student wanting to create “moments in time that are just pure joy,” the experience was at times uncomfortable, sad, joyous and contemplative, but always impactful.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Civility returning to Virginia thanks to new governor Dear Editor, Spring always brings a welcome breath of fresh air. This year it’s not only the wonderful weather with trees leafing out, flowers blooming and new life coming to nature. Civility and respect for our fellow Virginians is also returning. A leader sets the stage for how we react to each other. One that cares about all Virginians, not just one party or group is a rarity in today’s political world. In the few months that Governor Youngkin has been in office he has shown that while members of one party or philosophy may disagree with the other, we can all get along personally and professionally. Virtually all of us want the same things. A good education for our children to prepare them for the challenges they will face in the 21st century, safety from record violent crime, a clean environment, good jobs and a government that listens to its citizens and provides the services that we all want and need are high on everyone’s priority list. This year, for the first time in recent memory, lawmakers came together and, while they all had their priorities, they treated each other with the civility that Virginia used to be famous for. As I write this letter, the Commonwealth budget still has not been completed but both sides are making a diligent effort to do the right thing as they see it without rancor. Now, if only our public servants in Washington could follow the same path, America would be a much better place for all its citizens. Richard F. O’Hare Powhatan County

Board meeting was a bad night for local taxpayers Dear Editor, It was a sad night for taxpayers on Wednesday, May 18 at the board of supervisors (BOS) meeting. It started off with a motion that the county eliminate the $35 vehicle fee to give taxpayers a break. And as usual that was voted yes with a 3-2 vote and it passed. What that means for me is that I am not going to have to pay the county’s $70.00 vehicle fee for my 2 cars. However, what came next was the sad part! Our Commissioner of Revenue, Jamie Timberlake, and our Treasurer, Becky Nunnally, and the Director of Finance, Char-

la Schubert, stood up and presented to the board a proposition that simply put would reduce the personal property tax for Powhatan citizens. Back in January Jamie Timberlake, Commission of Revenue, sent an email warning the board about the tsunami coming for personal property tax. They all admitted on the 18th that they ignored the email but as Jamie Timberlake pointed out it wasn’t too late to put something into practice. This is part of what he said, “A better suggestion that is being discussed across the state is an agreed-upon ratio of assessments. With the BOS agreement we could use a flat percentage rate reduction of the assessment and show it on a bill without changing the tax rate. Then once a used car values have returned to acceptable depreciation assessment we can go back to the normal assessment method. This option shows good faith effort to the citizenry to recognize this is an industry issue and also allows you to maintain a stable budget line item in Personal Property with the same rate of revenue while not affecting the BPP rate.” I know it sounds confusing, but in essence it’s going to save the taxpayers’ money because your personal property tax for your vehicle is going up hundreds of dollars this year. Because this year car values are up even higher due to the continued strain on the supply system in the auto market. As part of the presentation the Commissioner of Revenue said that he would consult with the treasurer, the director of finance, and the county administrator to come up with a good ratio for Powhatan. Other counties are doing similar tax breaks for their taxpayers. A vote was taken and, as per usual, a vote of 3-2 killed any chance to significantly help taxpayers. There is no doubt that you will get a larger personal property tax bill! Be ready for sticker shock! But wait a rebate was mentioned as an alternative and maybe at some time the BOS will discuss that prospect. I suggest you call your BOS and ask them “Can you do something to lower the Personal Property Tax NOW? When will a rebate come? How much will this rebate be?” All the phone numbers are listed on the Powhatan Government Website. However if you do not have access to the internet here are the phone numbers: M. Byerly ( 804-998-7350), K. Carmack (804-721-0571), B. Cox (804-372-0664), S. McClung (804-892-4268), D. Williams (804-598-5187). In closing I want to remind you that the BOS serves you the taxpayers. You voted them into office and they have an obligation to do their very best to serve the taxpayers and citizens of Powhatan County. Please go to the Board of Supervisors meeting, call your representative and ask them questions! Fran Carleton Powhatan County

The Powhatan High School Leftovers Club continued its efforts to fight against cancer with the Color-A-Cure Fun Run/Walk held May 7 at the high school football field. The FUN 5K featured several color stations where each participant (dressed in white) was doused with color each kilometer. Each color represented a different type of cancer and the fight against it! The fun run had 130 participants and raised about $2,300. Tyler Atchison, a rising junior and newly elected president of the club, said ‘I feel really good about how the run went. It truly was amazing to watch all of the people that came enjoy themselves and help fight cancer. I am super excited for all of our upcoming events.’

Boatwright still recalls when Dean first opened the County Seat in what was then still a fairly rural community, creating a hub that “gave Powhatan people a place to have parties, eat lunch and do all the different things people still do.” Despite being well known, Dean didn’t make her impact in a big, splashy way, Boatwright said. Her impact came through being genuine, hardworking, sweet and always doing her best to make people feel better. “Janie was so well loved because she loved people. It was a bond that Janie had with the Village of Powhatan. She was such a special person,” Boatwright said. “You think about important people and what they have done, they don’t hold a light to Janie Dean.”

Girls soccer dominates on senior night By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

aying goodbye to your senior class is never easy, but with the way the Powhatan girls soccer team came out in its senior night matchup against L.C. Bird, the dominant result might just be the perfect send off. Honoring seniors Hope Burton, Lena Parker, Meghan Hodge and Sydney Arnold on Wednesday, May 18, the Indians had their most impressive result of the season, crushing the Skyhawks in a 10-0 beatdown for their fourth win of the year. The Indians had seven different goal-scorers over the course of the game, and all three seniors who played on the field scored at least one

goal while Burton pitched a clean-sheet shutout in the net. “Senior night’s always just an emotional thing,” head coach Jared Rottmund said. “Parker, Hodge and Burton have all been here since they were eighth graders. These girls are always first class.” Leading the way in scoring was Arnold, who earned a hat trick to cap off an impressive season as one of the team’s top scoring threats. While Arnold is the lone senior to not have been here all four years, she says this senior year has been her favorite, noting how special this group’s chemistry has been over the year. “Everyone feels like more than just a teammate and more like a best friend,” Arnold said. Parker also had a spe-

Redlich was close behind with three assists. Hodge, who added a goal late in the first half when she played up from

the defense, says the team’s love and respect for each other can be seen through the way they share the ball and lift

each other up during the game. Hodge also says the way the team supported her and the rest of the senior class made for a truly special night on the pitch. “It was so great to see my team cheering me on and seeing the decorations and how the JV team even put in the time and effort,” Hodge said. “Everyone was there to support, and it was a really great night.” Perhaps the highlight of the night came on the last goal courtesy of junior midfielder Rebecca Ray, whose shot to get the lead into double digits sent the Powhatan bench into an ecstatic frenzy while her teammates on the field rushed to celebrate around her. “The last one was the best one.

Down 1-0 entering halftime against the Cosby Titans — a team ranked third in the state and locked into a battle for second in the region with the Indians — it took late game heroics from senior Parker Sloan and junior Fischer Daniel, but the Indians pulled out all the stops for an incredible 2-1 victory that locked them into the second seed heading into the upcoming regional tournament.

Indians tennis starts regionals By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

owhatan’s boys and girls tennis reached the first round of the regional tournament this past week, with the boys falling in a match to the Atlee Raiders and the girls moving on to the quarterfinals after upsetting Matoaca. Both teams had to battle through brutally hot conditions as well as a strong wind that made things difficult for players looking to drive the ball with power and precision. While Atlee was able to get the advantage in a 5-2 team victory at home over

the boys, the 11-seed girls thrived through the brutal May weather against the six-seed Warriors. Girls tennis coach Anne Louise Maliff praised her team’s fitness and preparation to take on not only a strong opponent, but also the weather conditions. “I was exceedingly proud of our girls for their ability to play in those conditions,” Maliff said. In the match before Matoaca, Powhatan fell at the hands of the Cosby Titans — currently the top team in the Dominion District — in a 9-0 loss on May 18 that saw them play without two starters. Fully healthy and ready

for the Warriors, the Indians won 5-0 in the road victory that saw the match end without a doubles matchup played. Though No. 1 player Emma Carter’s game didn’t finish against Danielle Hargrove, the two top players were in a tight battle that saw Hargrove win the first set in a 7-6 tiebreaker, and Carter grab a 2-0 lead to start the second set. Once the Indians’ other starters won their matches, there was no need to finish what was an exciting game of tennis. Powhatan’s No. 2 Carter Quinn also impressed with a 6-2 win in her first set against Dylan Burkhardt,

but that match also ended prematurely due to Burkhardt conceding the match during the second set. For the boys team, the team’s top two players in senior Jacob Pfab and freshman Jamison Wallace won their singles matches to keep Powhatan in contention after Atlee took a 4-2 lead heading into doubles. Pfab took some time to develop a rhythm due to the wind, especially on his serves, but once he found a rhythm, he controlled the match with ease, taking the first set 6-2 and the second set 6-1.

C&F C&F BankBank’s AthleteAthlete of the Week of the Week SOCCER ALL-STAR WHO: JAMES DAVIS WHAT HE DID: Freshman soccer player James Davis has been one of the more exciting young players to earn time on the field for the Powhatan Indians, and this past week, he showed out with

some of his best soccer of the season. The speedy midfielder was dynamic in Powhatan’s biggest matchup of the year, as the Indians tied the James River Rapids 2-2, with both goals coming from Davis. The Rapids were undefeated coming into the game, but Davis’ scoring streak ended their chance at a perfect season, scoring the first off

a Parker Sloan through ball and the second off a breakaway into the open field. “That young man’s pace of play and joy of life just makes my dream of running this program to the top just that much better,” head coach Willie Miles said. “He’s a team player, everyone loves him and I’m so glad he had his moment to shine.”

Harrison Lee signs letter of intent with Chowan By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

While Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot’s topranked defense is losing one of its best defensive backs in senior Harrison Lee, the Chowan University Hawks will be gaining a major acquisition to their own team. Wrapping up a senior season that saw him lead the team in tackles on their way to a 10-1 record and a state title, the twotime All-State defensive back is onto the next destination in his football career, as he signed his letter of intent to join a Hawks team that went 7-3 this past season at the NCAA

Division II level. Lee says the decision to pick Chowan came down to the team’s interest in him as well as the support of his own coaches to look into the school’s fit for him both academically and athletically. “We meshed quite well, and it’s just a nice experience to be a part of,” Lee said. Lee leaves the Knights as a decorated defensive star, accumulating 67.5 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, a pick-six and two forced fumbles and fumble recoveries this season. He was also a huge offensive weapon at running back, with his most notable mo-

ment coming in the team’s 54-12 state championship victory over Kenston Forest on Nov. 13. In that game, Lee ran for 203 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries to help the Knights win their first state championship since 2013. With his classmates, coaches and family by his side for his signing day on Monday, May 16, Lee officially took a step forward as a student-athlete. Lee says he looks forward to coming back to Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot to help kids reach their own goals as student-athletes.

Powhatan track competes in district event at Cosby By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

Traveling to Cosby High School on May 18, the Indians track and field team had another opportunity to impress against some of the top athletes in the Dominion District. Facing six schools, the boys and girls of Powhatan finished fifth and seventh in their competitions, with four different first-place finishes. On the girls team, senior Shaniece Morris and freshman Ellen Weimer headlined the individual events for the Indians with two of the team’s first place finishes, while the girls 4x100 relay team also came away with a win. Morris was fantastic in the 100-meter dash event, pulling in a blazing 12.88-second finish that cruised past 29 other run-

ners. The next closest runner, Monacan’s Taylor Samuels, clocked in at 13.15 seconds. Morris’ result was even faster than her first-place result on her

senior night, when she finished at 13 seconds. Weimer, competing in the 3200, was in a league of her own with her performance at Cosby, turning in

an outstanding result of 12 minutes, 16.96 seconds. The freshman was 30 seconds ahead of Cosby sophomore Kirsten Morley and over a minute

ahead of the three other competitors in the event. It was one of Weimer’s most impressive performances in her first year on the track for Powhatan, and the rising star is only expected to get better as she continues her running career. Powhatan’s relay team in the 4x100 also put in a great time, just edging the Manchester Lancers for the top spot with a final time of 51.73 seconds. The Lancers crossed the line at 51.84 seconds. On the boys side, senior Mekhi Langhorn had a great all-around day in his three individual events, including a wild long jump finish that was tied for first place with Manchester junior Liam Callahan. The springy Dominion athletes both separated themselves from the other 19 jumpers, but couldn’t get themselves ahead of

each other, resulting in two 19-foot, 7-inch performances that capped off an impressive long jump final. Outside of that performance, Langhorn also finished seventh in the triple jump and sixth in the 100-meter dash, with his run clocking in at 11.74 seconds in a crowded 39-person event. Other solid results on the boys side include senior Asher Timberlake’s second place discus performance that saw a best throw of 126 feet, 4 inches, as well as sophomore Tane Jeffs’ third place finish in the 3200 run with a time of 11:26.01. The Indians now focus on the regional championships, with multiple seniors getting one last chance at a trip to states with a great regional showing.

With the spring sports season wrapped up for the Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot Knights, the school took some time to give praise to its student-athletes at its endof-the-year awards ceremony on May 16. Six awards were given to a number of athletes who represented the school in a positive manner, starting with the Golden Knight Award, which was given to three student-athletes who met the criteria of playing three different sports. Seniors Harrison Lee, Garrett Musselman and Ethan Bishop were honored with the Golden Knight, with all three playing baseball, football and basketball for Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot. The next award given was from the Richmond Times-Dispatch for both a male and female studentathlete for every public and private school in the area. This year’s scholar recipients were Sara Kline and Julian Alcazar. Kline earned the honor thanks to her 3.89 GPA, her captaining of the cheerleading squad and her time as a member of the Knights tennis team. She will be attending George Washington University next fall. Alcazar earned the award with his 4.27 GPA as well as his role as an All-State defensive back on the statetitle-winning Knights football team. He will attend PHOTOS COURTESY OF ANNELISE SHELTON UVA-Wise next fall.

Next was the Jean Manley Athletic Director Award that’s named after the longtime Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot and Huguenot Academy athletic director. The award was given to Lee, who exemplified teamwork and the representation of the school in a positive manner. Lee will attend Chowan University next fall. The last award was the Gary M. Brock Male Athlete of the Year, with the legendary longtime football head coach announcing Musselman as the recipient. With another successful year of sports wrapped up, the Knights waved goodbye to an impressive crop of senior student-athletes that will go on to represent Blessed Sacrament well in the next stage of their academic lives.

Indians softball loses defensive battle against Titans By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

Powhatan softball’s unwavering defense allowed just one run in its senior night contest against the Cosby Titans, but that one run would be all that Cosby needed, spoiling a special night that honored five Indians athletes with a 1-0 result. Seniors Carsen Hogston, Payton George, Emma Phillips, Savannah Johnson and Joy Johnson have all been major contributors to Powhatan’s excellent season and the state of the program in general. Though they’ve dealt with a myriad of factors outside of their control to finally get a relatively normal season of softball, head coach Marie Crump says they’ve handled everything thrown

waiting for Becca to score a goal, and we were all watching her to get to that point and to see her finally get it, we all just cheered and got excited for her,” Arnold said. The rest of the goals from the game came from three defenders in junior Sarah Barnett and sophomores Sadie Bondurant and Sally Woodard. The 10-goal total was

breaking through the wind was to hit up and create more spin, as well as focusing on what head coach Lee Kelley calls “the controllables” rather than the things that are uncontrollable. “It’s just about getting it out of your mind,” Pfab

their way like true leaders. “This senior class has meant a lot to this program,” Crump said. “I was glad we were able to have a regular season for them, and for them to experience the whole season.” The Indians, now 14-5 and third in the Dominion District standings behind Clover Hill and Midlothian, lost both meetings against the Titans this season, who are now 13-6. While Powhatan’s defense, headlined by another standout performance from pitcher Madalyn Johnson, did its job to keep the Titans from getting to home plate, a lot of credit goes to Cosby’s stellar defensive ability. Considering the Titans are the only team to hold the Indians scoreless twice, they’ve proven to be another strong

threat to make a postseason run out of the district. The game’s lone run came at the top of the first inning, when Cosby’s Alexandra DiNardo’s line drive double scored in Jessica Purgason. Right after, Madalyn Johnson had one of her 10 strikeouts to get

the Titans off the field before they caused any more damage. From there, the Titans struggled getting anything past Johnson, who allowed just four hits all game. On the other side though, Cosby pitcher Kam Brown was just as ef-

fective getting batters out, striking out seven while allowing three hits. The Indians had some chances to pick up momentum, including an early single by Hogston in the first inning, but Cosby’s fielders communicated well to limit mistakes and

hold on for the strikeout. In the seventh inning, two Johnson strikeouts and a fly out caught by Hogston gave the Indians a chance, but three straight ground outs on their end gave the Titans the win in a heartbreaking finish in front of the home crowd.

the second-highest scoring performance of the season for the Indians, with their 15-0 masterclass in offense against Huguenot on May 3 still standing in a league of its own. The Indians can now turn their attention to the regional tournament, as Rottmund hopes to see the energy and momentum from this win carry over into the postseason for the team. After giving the unde-

feated Cosby Titans a strong fight in a 3-2 loss on May 19, just a day after their convincing win over the Skyhawks, it’s looking like the Indians are peaking right as the games start to become win-or-go home battles. With four seniors looking to continue playing in a Powhatan uniform, Rottmund’s squad is looking to build off their recent stretch of strong all-around performances.

GOAL

when Sloan received a pass from junior Connor Nickerson and willed the ball into the net to send the game into extra time. The Indians defense was similarly impactful, keeping the Titans lead to just one goal until Sloan’s finish. In the second half in general, Powhatan looked like the more energized team on the attack, consistently getting pressure in the box to break through for that late-game score. Just 30 seconds into the first overtime period, Daniel

wouldn’t let Sloan’s gametying goal go to waste, sending the Indians ahead with another clutch finish that would solidify yet another impressive win to the team’s rapidly improving resume. The Indians now head into regionals with arguably the most momentum of any team in the Dominion District. With the second seed, the Indians will receive a first-game bye and await their matchup to shape out in the quarterfinals on Friday, May 27.

said. “When you’re thinking of it too much, that’s when you start making a lot of errors.” Wallace, meanwhile, continues to prove he’s in line to be the team’s next No. 1 when Pfab leaves, demonstrating a veteran savvy on the courts as he finished with two 6-2 sets for another win. Wallace has lost just one match all

season. In doubles, only one match was finished once Atlee got its fifth win to end the game, but Pfab and senior Peter Rusin were in the middle of a riveting battle that truly could’ve gone either way. The two seniors went down in the first set 6-4, but they fought back from a 5-2 deficit to make things interesting.

history — gives the Indians a 13-2-1 record to close out the season, as they also beat George Wythe 7-0 the next day on May 20. In their previous matchup on April 19, the Titans won in a 4-3 finish. That high-scoring result would not be the case this time around. The Titans defense held the typically high-flying Indians scoreless all the way until the final minute of regulation,

After the Confederate surrender, more than 1,000 now-freed slaves honored recently deceased Union soldiers during a ceremony in which they sang hymns and distributed flowers

Memorial Day has rich history dating to Civil War Contributed report Each year on the last Monday of May, Americans celebrate Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a federal holiday that honors and mourns American military personnel who died while performing their duties in service to the United States Armed Forces. Memorial Day has a rich history and one that’s worth revisiting as the nation prepares to honor the sacrifices made by its military personnel over the centuries. Freed slaves played a role in the establishment of Memorial Day. The American Civil War is the deadliest military conflict in American history, as the Union and the Confederacy each suffered more than

800,000 casualties by the time the war ended in 1865. According to History.com, as the war drew to a close, hundreds of Union soldiers who were being held as prisoners of war died and were buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp in South Carolina. After the Confederate surrender, more than 1,000 now-freed slaves honored those recently deceased Union soldiers during a ceremony in which they sang hymns and distributed flowers. The ceremony was dedicated to the fallen soldiers and served as a precursor to what is now celebrated as Memorial Day. Confederate soldiers were honored, too. Confederate losses during the Civil War

outnumbered Union losses, and those losses were not forgotten by southerners who survived the war. History.com notes that, in 1866, the Georgia-based Ladies Memorial Association, one of many similar organizations to arise in the aftermath of the war, pushed for a day to honor fallen Confederate soldiers. In fact, these efforts are believed to have influenced General John A. Logan. In 1868, General Logan, a Civil War veteran who was then serving as commander-in-chief of a group of Union veterans, ordered the decoration of Union graves with flowers on May 30. The day would ultimately be known as “Memorial Day.” It took a long time for Me-

morial Day to become a federal holiday. Despite tracing its origins to the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, Memorial Day did not become an official federal holiday until 1971, more than a century after the war ended. This is the same year the holiday was officially designated as taking place on the last Monday in May. The designation has periodically drawn the ire of veterans and military supporters who suggest it is now more widely seen as the unofficial beginning to summer and not a day in which the sacrifices of fallen U.S. soldiers are honored to the extent that they should be. Debate exists about which town has the longest history of

celebrating Memorial Day. A handful of towns claim to be the first celebrants of Memorial Day. That debate figures to continue in perpetuity, but History.com notes that Waterloo, New York, was officially recognized by U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson as the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1966. Doylestown, Pennsylvania, and Rochester, Wisconsin are some other towns that claim to have celebrated Memorial Day since the mid1860s. Memorial Day has a rich history that highlights the importance of honoring the men and women who have given their lives while in service of the United States military. —MetroCreative

Service members make many sacrifices to protect the lives and freedoms of their fellow citizens, but there are several ways the rest of us can give back.

Three unique ways to give back to service members Contributed Report Military service in the United States was once more common than it is today. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, the draft for military service was ended in 1973, a point in time when 2.2 million men and women made up the country’s active military personnel. By 2018, the number had dipped below 1.3 million. The vast majority of people in countries where military service is not compulsory will never serve in the military. But that does not mean non-military personnel do not appreciate the sacrifices service mem-

bers and their families make. Service members and their families make many sacrifices to protect the lives and freedoms of their fellow citizens. The following are three unique ways to give back to these selfless men and women, who often benefit greatly from even the simplest of gestures.

Serve as a driver Unfortunately, many service members return from overseas missions with disabilities, some of which prevent them from driving. Adults who want to help service members can

serve as drivers for veterans who can’t drive themselves. Such a gesture ensures they won’t miss any appointments with doctors or physical therapists, helping them get on the road to recovery that much quicker.

Donate your miles Some disabled veterans receive medical treatments far away from home at facilities that specialize in treating certain types of injuries, which can make it difficult for their families to be there for them during their recoveries. By do-

nating airline miles to military families, ordinary adults can ensure injured servicemen and -women can still see their families during difficult times in their lives. Access to such support systems can be a big help as veterans work to recover from their injuries.

Sponsor a service dog A significant percentage of veterans return home with posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. PTSD has been linked to a host of conditions, including depression and anxiety. However, programs such as

Companions for Heroes, an organization that places service dogs with veterans, has helped many veterans successfully cope with PTSD. By sponsoring a service dog through an organization such as Companions for Heroes, adults who want to help service members can provide an invaluable service to men and women fighting to regain their quality of life. There are many ways for ordinary citizens to show their support for the brave men and women who selflessly serve in the military. —MetroCreative

The Department of Defense controls each military branch, except for the Coast Guard, which is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security.

Each branch of U.S. military has unique role Contributed Report The United States military is one of the most comprehensive, effective and respected armed forces in the world. Without the tireless commitment of military personnel — from the soldiers on the ground to the support staff behind the scenes — America could not be the world power it is today. Each branch of the U.S. military has a unique mission, and here is a brief rundown of what those missions entail, courtesy of Military.com and the U.S. Department of Defense.

U.S. Army

ports directly to the Department of Defense. The Army conducts operational and institutional missions around the world, typically handling landbased missions. The Army also guards U.S. installations and properties throughout the world.

U.S. Air Force

U.S. Coast Guard

The Air Force also reports directly to the Department of Defense and trains for and maintains global superiority in air, space and cyberspace. Air Force personnel fly planes, helicopters and even satellites.

The Coast Guard safeguards maritime interests through both civil and military missions. The Coast Guard operates around the world and in domestic waterways and ports.

U.S. Navy

U.S. Marine Corps

Serving to protect the freedom of the seas, the Navy is another branch of the military that reports directly to the Department of Defense. Among its many missions, the U.S. Navy serves to make the seas safe for travel and trade.

The Marine Corps is a component of the Department of the Navy. It carries out global missions on both sea and shore and serves as an expeditionary force. Marines are a rapid-reaction team and are usually the first boots on the ground in a conflict.

The Army is one of the three military departments that re-

U.S. Army National Guard The oldest branch of the U.S. military, the National Guard serves as a complementary force to active duty. Those in the National Guard are trained to be versatile, providing for humanitarian aid, domestic emergencies, combat missions, and homeland security operations.

The Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, Army Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve, and Navy Reserve are the other branches made up of servicemen and servicewomen who primarily work civilian jobs but may be called to full-time military duty if necessary. The U.S. Armed Forces are headed by the President of the United States. The Secretary of the Department of Defense reports directly to the Commander-in-Chief. The DOD controls each military branch, except for the Coast Guard, which is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security. Learn more about the U.S. military at dod.defense.gov. —MetroCreative

Proclamation in 2012 set aside day for Vietnam veterans Contributed Report The Vietnam War is among the most complex conflicts in world history. The war ended in 1975 when South Vietnam surrendered to North Vietnam, but the effects of the conflict continue to reverberate today, nearly half a century later. In March 1965, American President Lyndon Johnson made the decision to send U.S. combat forces into battle in Vietnam. Ultimately more than 2.5 million American troops would serve in South Vietnam alone. Since President Barack

Obama signed a proclamation in 2012, Americans have commemorated the sacrifices its military personnel made during the war by celebrating Vietnam Veterans Day on March 29 (the holiday would be signed into law in 2017). One way to let Vietnam veterans know those sacrifices have not been forgotten is to learn about the war. Such knowledge can inspire a greater appreciation of the cost of the war on the service members who fought it. Though President Johnson ordered combat troops into

Vietnam in 1965, the conflict between North and South Vietnam began much earlier than that. North Vietnamese fighters began helping South Vietnamese rebels in 1954, marking a start to the conflict. American involvement in combat began even before President Johnson sent troops to Vietnam in 1965. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. combat involvement is now recognized to have begun on January 12, 1962, which marks the launch of Operation Chopper. That operation re-

quired U.S. Army pilots to airlift more than 1,000 South Vietnamese soldiers to an area west of Saigon to capture a territory that was being held by communist fighters. More than 58,000 American military personnel lost their lives as a result of the Vietnam War. Data from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency indicates that, as of April 2021, 1,584 Americans lost in the Vietnam War remain unaccounted for. The vast majority of unaccounted military person-

nel were lost in Vietnam, though hundreds were lost while serving in Laos, Cambodia and China. The number of U.S. troops in Vietnam peaked in April 1969. By that point, the U.S. government had deployed 543,000 troops to Vietnam. The last American ground troops left Vietnam on March 29, 1973. Fighting between the North and South Vietnamese would continue for two more years, but the United Sates would not return to Vietnam. —MetroCreative

Effects of World War II still remembered worldwide Contributed Report World War II was a devastating conflict that involved countries around the globe. The deadliest war in military history, World War II claimed some 70 million civilians and military personnel. World War II affected a demographic that is now often referred to as the “Greatest Generation,” who previously had to face the Great Depression and were shaped by parents who experienced the first World War.

The effects of World War II can still be felt and remembered today, well into the 21st century. World War II began when Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. However, it wasn’t until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 that the United States formally entered the fray. By the beginning of 1945, Germans were largely in retreat, and by May 7, 1945, Germany surrendered to the western Allies. However, the fight against

Japan raged on. Throughout the summer of 1945, Allied troops faced Japanese forces. The United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on Aug. 6 and another on Nagasaki three days later. On Aug. 14, 1945, Japan unconditionally surrendered by a radio address from Emperor Hirohito, a day that has come to be called Victory Over Japan Day, or V-J Day. August 14 is widely celebrated as the effective end of World War II. According to Hirohito,

“Should we continue to fight, it would not only result in the ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but would also lead to the total extinction of human civilization.” President Harry Truman indicated that V-J Day was vindication after Pearl Harbor. The formal surrender took place on September 2, 1945. As a result, V-J Day is celebrated by some in August and others in September. Commemorations take place in Europe as well as

North America. In the United States, Rhode Island is the only state with a holiday specifically dedicated to V-J Day, officially called Victory Day. It is celebrated on the second Monday in August. World War II was a long and bloody conflict that involved many world powers. It ultimately came to its end in mid-August with victory over Japan on a date that still bears deep meaning today. —MetroCreative

Know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day Contributed Report Memorial Day and Veterans Day each honor the military, though the two holidays are not the same. Memorial Day, which is celebrated annually on the last Monday in May, honors the brave men and women who lost their lives while serving in the

American military. Many communities host memorial ceremonies honoring their fallen soldiers on Memorial Day, ensuring such soldiers’ bravery and sacrifices are never forgotten. While many people now view Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of summer, the weekend

should not be celebrated without also pausing to reflect on and recognize the military personnel who lost their lives in defense of freedom and the American way of life. Veterans Day is celebrated annually on November 11 and recognizes all men and women who have served in the mil-

itary. Veterans Day coincides with Remembrance Day, which is a celebrated by the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 member states with connections to the British Empire. Though Veterans Day and Remembrance Day are each celebrated on November 11, the latter recog-

nizes armed forces members who died in the line of duty, making it more similar to Memorial Day than Veterans Day. It’s not uncommon for people to recognize fallen soldiers on Veterans Day, but many use the holiday to express their appreciation to existing veterans. —MetroCreative
