PCPS staff turnover higher than usual at year-end By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – New school years are always times of transition, but with a divisionwide staff turnover that is higher than usual – especially at the administration level – the start of the 2022-2023 school year is anticipated to be a time of significant transition. As of May 23, a total of 86 of the 635 full-time employees on staff, or 13.54%, have departed or announced that they would not return next school year, according to Terri Allison, director of human resources for Powhatan County Public Schools (PCPS). A variety of reasons were given for the departures – retirement, other job offers, changing careers, moving, entering the military, stress from the COVID-19 pandemic, personal reasons and more. There were also three deaths during the year. PCPS was already expecting to see substantial change with the hiring of a new superintendent after Dr. Eric Jones announced his plans to retire at the end of the school year, and some staff turnover is normal in most school divisions when there is a change of leadership, Allison said. But with 38 teachers and 17 administrators not returning next year, it is going to have a huge impact in the
beginning of the year to have so many people in those key roles facing a major learning curve, she said. “It is scary times for our school division. It is the reality of what we are facing,” she said. “The reality is there are a lot of changes going on in Powhatan County Public Schools. We have people who are going to step up to the challenge, there will be new people coming in to step up to the challenge, but it will be a time of transition.” The school division has already been preparing for that transition by having staff members prepare overviews of departments so employees taking on major leadership roles can get a quick understanding of the positions and resources, said Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendent for instruction. The goal is “to really showcase what we do for the people who are coming in and to create some really good examples of the strong program we believe we have here” as well as “capturing the institutional knowledge that may go with some people.” Omohundro said she has visited schools recently and spoken with staff who were worried about what comes next. Her response, she said, is that PCPS has an amazing foundation with great students, teachers, resources, facilities and instructional supports, so it is go-
ing to be OK. “While I understand that change is going to be hard for a lot of people, what we do day-to-day in our classrooms, we’ve got that foundation already built and it is a strong foundation and I would attribute that to the last nine years. I look forward to the new energy that may come with some of these changes, but I am very confident in what we have built so hard,” she said. She added, “Change is going to be hard; it’s scary but we have work to do.” Increasing numbers There is some degree of turnover in any given year, but a comparison of the past four school years shows the numbers are significantly higher this year, Allison said. PCPS saw 56 of 615 employees leave after the 20182019 school year, or 9.10%, she said. Despite worries about the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 – or maybe because of it – turnover wasn’t as high for the 20192020 school year, with 47 of 612 full-time employees leaving, or 7.68%. The number was higher again after the 2020-2021 school year, with 66 of 626 employees leaving, or 10.54%. But the 86 leaving this year is still a see TURNOVER, pg. 4

Choir sings at memorial service for fallen officers By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – The men and women of the Virginia State Police and their families gathered together Wednesday, May 25 to honor all public safety professionals who have given the ultimate sacrifice in their service to the Commonwealth of Virginia, including the late Special Agent Michael T. Walter of Powhatan. Because of the pandemic, this was the first year since 2019 that the state police has been able to host its traditional Police Officers’ Memorial Service. The Honorable Henry E. Hudson, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia, served as keynote speaker during the ceremony. The service recognized all 66 of the department’s law enforcement professionals who have died in the
line of duty and included a special tribute to nine sworn members in which either 2021 and 2022 marks a significant milestone, a five-, 10- or 15-year anniversary. Among those was Virginia State Police Special Agent Michael T. Walter, who was shot in the line of duty on May 26, 2017, and died several hours later. “We, too, understand the silence from the void of losing that loved one,” Col. Gary T. Settle, VSP Superintendent, said during the ceremony. “We, too, miss hearing that contagious laughter or classic one-liner of our shift partners and best friends. Just as you and your family do of your loved one. That silence can be so deafening, especially in our times of need and greatest sorrow. The silence of loss can weigh heavy in times of great celebration and achievement, too.” During the ceremony, One Voice Choral group from Powhatan High School had the opportunity to sing the National Anthem and “That Lonesome
Road” (by James Taylor). Large photographs of the nine officers were displayed during the ceremony. The special tribute had an Honor Guard member posted on either side of each portrait and they stepped forward when the name of the officer was called by Corinne N. Geller, public relations director for the state police, who also read their biographies. When she finished each biography, a bell was rung and the two Honor Guard troopers commanded a slow salute while facing one another. Walter was born in Philadelphia and graduated from Schalick High School in Elmer, New Jersey, Geller said, sharing the biography. He was a decorated veteran during his service with the U.S. Marine Corps from 1989 to 1994. Prior to joining the Virginia State Police in 1998, he see FALLEN OFFICERS, pg. 5

of Lee McCullough and Amanda McCullough, and the brother of Addison and Camden McCullough. His family is his greatest support system; he is full of love for them and they are full of pride for him. McCullough leaves his mark on Powhatan High School in many ways. He was a member of the Advance College Academy, a partnership between Powhatan County Public Schools and Reynolds Community College. As a member of the ACA, he graduated with an Associate of Science degree in social sciences, as well as a high school advanced diploma. McCullough is a dedicated member of the PHS Varsity boys soccer team, which had one of its best seasons on record. He was also a member of the National Honor Society, The National English Honor Society, the National Math Honor Society and the National Computer Honor Society. In McCullough’s spare time, he finds pleasure in sharing his love of soccer with the younger generation as a coach for a youth team. In the fall, he will attend the College of William and Mary. Although
he is unsure about his major at this point, he is content to go “wherever the wind takes him.” Cascone is the daughter of Anthony and Utari Cascone, and also finds great support from her brother AJ and her favorite four-legged friends, Zoey and Mojo. During her four years there, Cascone has embraced life at Powhatan High School. She also graduated with her associate degree on May 15 through the high school’s
that will receive this award will demonstrate the dedication, commitment, service and excellence to his/her community that Special Agent Walter did to his. Walter served in the US Marines, the Virginia State Police, as a wrestling coach and started the Blackhawk Gym in Powhatan. His dedication to the youth of Powhatan through wrestling was unparalleled. Walter, along with his wife Jaime and Richard FitzSimmons, founded Powhatan Youth Wrestling and Community Development Corporation as a nonprofit in 2008. To the Blackhawk Gym members and wrestlers, he was known as “Coach Mike.” Coach Mike founded the club for the purpose of molding and Advance College Academy with Reynolds Community College. Through the years, she has passionately participated in numerous volunteer activities to support the Spanish Honor Society and maintained memberships in both the Science National Honor Society and Spanish National Honor Society. Cascone also shows her love for her community by planning various cultural events and being an active member in the PHS
Leftovers Club. Cascone was awarded the Spanish global seal of literacy for excellence in Spanish. Cascone said one of her proudest high school accomplishments was the moment she understood the importance of life balance during her sophomore year thanks to ACA. Cascone will attend the honors college at Virginia Commonwealth University to study prenursing. She then plans to attend graduate school, where she will continue
shaping our youth to become our future leaders. The Mike Walter Memorial Officer of the Year Award will therefore be presented to a Virginia Law Enforcement Officer that best exemplifies and carries on Walter’s tradition of commitment and service to their community beyond their normal duties as a law enforcement officer.

Contributed Report
Summertime is near, and finding things for children and grandchildren to do is always a challenge. Most children do not want “something like more school,” so options of how to encourage learning may seem limited. The Friends of the Powhatan County Public Library conducted a survey last year. Although from a limited sample of children who visited the library during one week, the responses to the question of “Why do you read?” seems right. The two most common responses were “for self-improvement and for entertainment and escape.” Some favorites were: “reading opens the world to me,” “reading can take me to another world,” and “reading is entertainment without screens.” In addition to being a welcoming and safe environment for children, the library has recently up-
graded its online computer resources to help children with selfimprovement, entertainment and escape. A wealth of new apps can be found on the library web site. Search for Powhatan County Public Library at PowhatanLibrary.net. Then in the left column on the library home page, find and click on Digital Branch Library (http://www.powhatanva. gov/1723/Digital-Branch-Library). It opens to the descriptions of several apps that might just fit a child’s summer tastes. Gale in Context: Elementary Learning Materials. For preschoolers and elementary students, this app has creative, colorful, and short interactive links listed by topic for news, pictures and videos.

significant jump. The week contracts were due, May 13 to 20, Allison said she received 14 resignations, and two teachers resigned as recently as last Thursday. The number of teachers leaving has been rising each year. From 22 departures in 2018-19, it went to 30 (2019-20), 31 (2020-21), and 38 this year currently. But where PCPS will see the most dramatic change this year is at the administration level, which is made up and school and division leaders, secretaries, and computer technicians. The division went from 10 leaving in 2018-19, to two (2019-20), seven (2020-21), and now 17 this year currently. At the school level, two principals are leaving – Tanja Atkins-Nelson will retire from Flat Rock Elementary and Michelle Martin is leaving Powhatan High for personal reasons. The high school is also losing assistant principal Nicole Arnold and student activities director Tim Llewellyn. At the division level, Larry Johns, director of finance; Becky Boswell, assistant director of finance, and Linda Hockaday, executive assistant and school board clerk, are all retiring, and Jason Tibbs, director of facilities, has taken a position in another school division. “To me the biggest impact is the institutional knowledge leaving us,” Allison said. “Take Jason Tibbs, who has been here 18 years as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and director of facilities. He has had a lot of roles in this school division, and he knows the ins and outs of every building. That is a lot of knowledge you are losing.” The good news is that the structures currently in place have allowed staff at the division level to have a “good understanding of the interconnectedness of departments,” Omohundro said. “While I don’t obviously deal with the day-to-day operations that Dr. Tibbs does or Mr. Johns does, be-

cause we work so closely together on things that overlap within our programs and within our departments, there will be some continuity,” she said. Finding reasons As with any school year, losing this number of employees can’t be attributed to one or even two reasons, Allison said. However, there were some that really stood out as contributing factors to this year’s departures. The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors voted on May 18 to approve a school budget that included money for a 5% raise for all employees and targeted raises for a few groups to address compression, including making sure all teacher pay scales were at the median ranking out of the 12 other localities PCPS compares itself to each year. However, there were other localities that gave even higher raises, Allison said. For instance, five teachers are going to schools in Chesterfield and two in Henrico. On the flip side of that, Allison noted Powhatan has already hired five Chesterfield teachers who want to teach here. “We called teachers from Chesterfield and they don’t even want to know the salary before they say, ‘I will take it!’ They just want to get out of the large school division and they want to know what school they are going to, which is a big sell for us,” she said. “We can tell you as an elementary teacher, we are hiring you to go to Pocahontas or Powhatan Elementary. When you are hired in Chesterfield, you don’t know what school you are going to.” Allison added that even though there was a 5% salary increase, school division employees who participate in the health insurance plan saw a 19.1% increase. With some neighboring localities paying more toward employees’ health insurance, it is a huge consideration, especially for people with families. see TURNOVER, pg. 7

Cumberland Library has more to offer than residents know, survey finds Contributed Report As the month of May was coming to an end, the Cumberland County Public Library began looking at the results of their recent Community Survey. With over 200 responses from online and paper formats, there was a lot of information to be analyzed. However, one thing was immediately clear: County residents do NOT know what the library has to offer. Some even suggested program and service offerings that are already in place. They had no idea that the library does laminating or that notary public service is available at no cost. They weren’t aware that curbside service for library materials or COVID-19 at-home rapid response kits are offered during business hours with lockers that can be used after hours to pick up checked out items. Respondents didn’t know that a public meeting room was available without fees or that the library taught classes on a variety of topics while also having classes (including language courses) available on DVD or online. Neither did they have knowledge of the library’s fine forgiveness policy, which result-
ed in over $2,500 in overdue fines being forgiven when it was first implemented. One of the issues that contributes to this lack of knowledge is the absence of news media that focuses solely on Cumberland County. The library is lucky to have access to a Cumberland page in the Powhatan Today paper at the beginning of each month, which does let people on the northeastern side of the county know about things going on. There is also the Farmville Herald, which informs primarily those on the southern end of the county. However, that still leaves a large part of the county without any real news coverage. Popular “local” radio stations are also located just outside the county as well since the sale of community-based WFLO late last year. Some would say, “What about the internet and social media?” The county is making strides in internet access with plans to have about 90% to 95% of the population hooked up by 2026; but, currently the poor internet accessibility in the area makes it difficult for people to interact online with the library website or Facebook page. As a matter of fact, the library’s survey found that just over
50% of their respondents use a smartphone with about 40% of respondents reporting Facebook usage and about 35% using Twitter. This, coupled with the lack of news coverage, makes it difficult to get information on new programs and services out to the public. Besides the new library-sponsored Cumberland County VA Happenings TeamUp calendar, there is currently no one place to find information, and even that calendar is only accessible online. This makes it really difficult to publicize the library’s annual Summer Reading Program with the 2022 theme of Oceans of Possibilities. Using the Beanstack app or reading logs to track reading and Checkers LibraryTV for part of the children’s programming, the program will run from June 1 to July 24 with weekly in-person sessions for both children and adults on Mondays beginning on June 6 and ending with the program finale on July 25 where prizes will be awarded. It’s also hard to talk about the 2022 Reading Challenge with over 50 broad categories of see LIBRARY, pg. 10

Postal pick-up: A reminder to look for the good By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News
S
ometimes it takes an act of God to remind you that there is goodness all around us. But sometimes all it takes is a mailbox. Please allow me to explain. A few weeks ago, after a particularly long day during which an uncanny number of things had gone terribly wrong, I trudged up the front walk of my house in Powhatan County intent on a quick dinner and an evening spent under the anesthetizing spell of whatever Netflix suggested. While I can no longer remember the specifics of the day, as I pushed open the door I remember feeling as though the world was suffering from a sudden and unexplained dearth of civility and kindness. I’m not sure that I had been home even a half hour when I thought I heard what sounded like a loud bang and the angry scrape of metal on metal, almost as if someone had slammed an old iron gate. Fortunately, since I don’t have an old iron gate, I quickly came to the conclusion that whatever that noise was did not concern me. Unlike just about everything else that day, I grumbled pitifully to myself, this was someone
else’s problem. Cut to less than three minutes later and I hear a knock on my front door. It is my neighbors, and they are carrying my mailbox—now mangled but still attached to a piece of wooden post. They had heard the bang too, and had looked up from their yard work just in time to see a dark sedan obliterate my mailbox and continue down the street like a bat out of youknow-where. While they didn’t have any more details, they seemed somewhat incensed on my behalf. It just wasn’t right, they said, and they had wanted to do what they could to help find the person responsible. I did what I figured I was supposed to do and called the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office, though I had serious doubts that they would take this case very seriously. They had so many important things to deal with, I figured – they would probably laugh me off the phone. Instead, the dispatcher who answered was kind, attentive and polite and said she would send an officer right out. Within 10 minutes, he arrived. As it turned out my husband and I knew the officer, who admitted that these cases could sometimes be tough to solve. Still—and even though it was the
L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R
very end of his own long day—he told us he was going to drive down the street and see if he saw any hints as to who might have been the culprit. In just a few minutes he was back, and just a few minutes after that a serious-looking gentleman I vaguely recalled seeing around the neighborhood was nudging his terribly embarrassed teenage son up our front steps into our living room. Both apologized profusely for the incident—the son had apparently glanced down at his phone while driving past our house and drifted too far to the right --and assured us that they would be back as soon as possible to install a new mailbox. The next day, before most of the world had woken up, they did exactly that. Perhaps it may not seem like much to some people, but that afternoon I couldn’t help but think about the kindness of my neighbors, the dedication of the sheriff’s office, and the determination of the young man’s father to set the right example for his son. Yes, it had been an awful day, but it was also a reminder – on a day I really needed one – that there are still good people all around us. And all it took was a mailbox.

Pastor offers insignt on honoring the deceased
Art appreciation is in the eye of the beholder
Dear Editor, A question I get asked frequently as a pastor and as someone who has worked in the funeral business part-time for over ten years is: Is it okay for Christians to be cremated? In the Bible, God honors burial as His method of disposing of the human body. In Genesis 23, we see the importance of burial with Abraham burying Sarah, his beloved wife. God personally buried Moses in the valley of Moab. Jesus Christ was temporarily buried after His death on the cross. Cremation in the bible was only identified with a curse or used to burn graven images. Amos 2:1, Duet 7:25. There is nothing positive about cremation in the Bible. But to not have a proper burial in the Bible was a dishonor to God. When it really gets down to the fine line and you are a believer in Jesus Christ, there is nothing to prove that your eternity will be affected because of your choice to be cremated. I know that times have changed and that the cost of a funeral can be expensive. My concern with what I see as a pastor and as a worker in the funeral industry is that there is a lack of celebrating a person’s life after they are gone. Closure is important and sometimes when a loved one dies and they are immediately rushed off to the crematory, there is no time or place for closure. A life needs to be remembered; it needs to be celebrated. Funerals really are for the living; you need a time to stop and reflect on a person’s life and allow closure in your own life. Especially during COVID, people would say we will have a celebration of life at a later date and many of them the later date never came. So, whether you choose cremation or traditional burial, make sure you celebrate a person’s life or you allow your family to celebrate your life. So many today say they want no services or viewings etc.…but sometimes that can be hard for a family. They need to be able to say Goodbye. If you choose cremation most funeral homes offer services that your body can be present at the service. Two things I would definitely recommend you do to prepare for death. Get a burial insurance policy, this will help your family so much. But more importantly make sure you have a relationship with Jesus Christ and that your eternity is secure in Him. John 3:16 Pastor Travis L. Keith Powhatan County
Dear Editor, Two friends are standing before an abstract painting at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. “Whaddaya think?” Cedric asked his best friend Johnny. “It certainly is big. And blue,” responded Johnny. They were standing before an eight-by-eight foot canvass painted entirely in Cerulean blue entitled, “Big Blue.” “Fantastic,” admired Cedric his eyes glittering. “I don’t get it,” admitted Johnny. “What’s it supposed to be?” “Blue. Just blue. And big. Hence, Big Blue.” “But what’s it supposed to be?” “It’s not supposed to be anything. It’s non-representational. The artist, John Donohski, has studied art and art history through the ages and is trying to evolve visual art to a new next level. A new appreciation. A new artistic dimension never been seen before.” “Hmmmm.” Johnny said. “I could have done that.” “Yeah but you didn’t. He did after years of study and assimilating past artistic trends. He’s pushing the boundaries of visual art forward based on what was done in the past. Or trying to.” Cedric is getting miffed with Johnny’s ignorance. “But it’s just a big canvass painted blue. So what?” “That’s it in a nut shell. Never been done before. First time, artistically speaking. Out with the old. Avant guard 2022. Ground breaking.” Give me a break, Johnny thinks. “Still don’t get it. There’s nothing to see but blue.” “The total blueness and the large canvass size is what’s it’s all about. That’s what you’re to see.” “Still don’t get it.” “Maybe you’ll get this, it’s worth over $150,000.” “For real? You’re yanking my chain, right?” “Nope. Says so right here on the info card next to the painting.” Johnny turns and takes off running for the exit. Cedric bellows, “Hey, Johnny, where are going?” “Going to Walmart to buy a gallon of blue paint and a nine-inch roller. Maybe I’ll even pickup a gallon of green.” “Cretin,” mutters Cedric under his breath. “And to think he’s my best friend.” Almost sincerely yours, Joe Ondishko Powhatan County

“We lose some people to Goochland or we interview people who want to come to Powhatan but then see our health insurance plan and say, ‘I can’t come to Powhatan because there is such a big difference,” she said. Even among existing employees, Allison said the spike in premiums caused many people to switch to plans with higher deductibles and lower monthly premiums. She added about 68% of employees are on the school division’s health insurance plan. “I have had a lot of conversations, mainly with teachers, about how they can’t afford to stay on the higher plans. It really made a big impact when we announced the rates versus the raise,” Allison said. “I had a few tearful conversations with some young families who don’t have any other options. I try to talk them through each option and give the advantages of a high deductible plan.” Health insurance costs also influenced some employees’ decisions to retire early, she said. With the school board planning to make changes to the retiree health care supplement, which pays a portion of insurance costs for qualifying retirees not old enough to receive Medicare, she had at least five people say getting the full benefit was part of the reason they decided to retire now. Changes the board adopted on the program don’t take effect until July 1, 2023. The stress of the last few years, which were unprecedented in the situations educators were called on to manage, was also a factor for some, Allison said. The pandemic and everything that went with it took their toll, and then it was compounded by morale taking a hit be-
cause of some of the controversial issues that caused so much strife and tension. “It has been a couple of hard years and that has taken its toll on staff, as it has across the country. That is not a Powhatan issue; that is a nationwide issue – a worldwide issue probably,” she said. Fortunately, the reintroduction of vital parts of PCPS life – parents allowed in schools, field trips, group activities, parties and graduations – has been going a long way this year toward boosting morale again, she said. Hiring Despite issues with turnover, Allison said the hiring process has gone better than can be expected. There were 11 teacher openings as of May 27 with several positions recently filled or going through the interview process now. Some of the more difficult jobs to fill have been the school counselor and social worker positions. Allison praised her small team – Terry Stokes, supervisor of human resources, and Karen Bradbury, administrative assistant – for holding it together during a busy, stressful time. “As soon as we have the interview, the panel gets back to us on their choice, we call the references and then we call the candidate and make an offer. It has been fast and furious, because we know that every other school divisions is doing the same thing,” she said. Fortunately, when making offers, PCPS has been seeing about an 80% acceptance rate on job offers, she added. “I have been pleasantly surprised of the people we call and they say yes. I think it is the reputation of Powhatan County Public Schools. People want to come to a small school division that they know is a good school division.”

TIMBERLAKE Continued from pg. 1
Powhatan Farm Bureau since 2013, served on the board of directors starting in 2011 and was a member of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation since 2007, said Charlene Spigler, senior member service specialist for the federation. He used his position to both educate people about agriculture and its role in everyone’s lives and advocate for ways to celebrate and preserve it. Timberlake grew up in Powhatan, graduating from Powhatan High School in 1965, said Virginia Merle of Powhatan, his sister. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Army Signal Corps, serving for three years, including being deployed to Vietnam. She said her brother tested well when he first joined, which eventually led him to a role that saw him dealing with sensitive communications in Vietnam. When he returned, he was stationed at Ft. Detrick, in Frederick, Maryland, where he met Kathleen Snoots-Blair. The couple married in 1970 and were together until she died in 1984. They had four children together, Max, James, Betty and Virginia. After leaving the military, he began working for AT&T as a project supervisor responsible for establishing and maintaining communications. He received the Spirit of Service gold award for his work setting up communications after the 1982 tornado in Marion, Illinois. He retired from AT&T after 27 years or service. He was an active member of his community at the Libertytown Volunteer Fire Department as both an EMT and treasurer, a member and treasurer of the Johnsville United Methodist Church, and a member of the Frederick Jaycees. Timberlake returned to Powhatan in the early 2000s to help take care of his elderly parents, Anne Virginia and Max Sr., his sister said. Timberlake and his brother went into the hay business. The more he got involved in the business as a farmer, the more Timberlake expanded his interest in the farming community as
a whole and preserving that way of life, Merle said. “He wanted to keep the rural character of Powhatan and promote farming for the betterment of everyone,” Merle said. “He loved educating people on understanding on the whole cycle of where your food comes from. Whether it is dairy farming or hay farming or whatever, there is not much you eat anymore that doesn’t come from a farm somewhere, somehow.” She added that some people thought her brother was against Powhatan growing. She thought it was more that he just wanted growth in a way that didn’t detriment Powhatan’s history and rural character. Former Powhatan Cooperative Extension agent Johns Bailey said he had known Timberlake for decades, and the two men shared a common interest in promoting agriculture, keeping the county as rural as possible and working with youth in the 4-H and FFA programs. He agreed Timberlake was passionate about reminding the public about where their food comes from – that the produce, milk and meat they put in their carts at the grocery store all got its start on a farm. Timberlake lobbied on agriculture issues at the local and state levels and helped forge relationships with other agencies with shared goals, such as the Cooperative Extension and Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District, Bailey said. Those relationships flourished because of the personality he brought to the table. “He was just really a good, down-toearth person with a lot of common sense, a lot of good people skills and communication,” Bailey said. “He was a good person who would ask questions on different things. He didn’t just rubber stamp what somebody else said. He would dig down into it and get to the bottom of something and get to the root of what the issues were.” Timberlake was instrumental in working with the board of supervisors to promote a “Share the road” sign cam-

paign several years ago. He was a huge proponent of the Virginia Century Farm Program, which recognizes and honors those farms that have been in operation for at least 100 consecutive years. Extension agent Rachel Henley recalled how Timberlake embraced the idea of getting more Powhatan farms into the program to recognize their longevity and history. “Max took that as his challenge and mission. There might have been one or two at the time,” she said. “He got it to 13 farms. He personally went to these people and helped them with the application, helped them with all the parts. He wouldn’t want the glory for that, because that wasn’t him, but it was him. He worked his butt off.” For the last few years, Timberlake and former supervisor Carson Tucker had been turning that same type of passion to getting local landowners interested in Agricultural and Forestal Districts, serving on the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Advisory Committee until January 2022, when Timberlake wasn’t reappointed. Henley had the opportunity to interact with Timberlake on plenty of projects, including Farm Days held for elementary students and Powhatan’s Celebration of the Horse and Ag Expo, which lasted five years.

They haven’t gotten the word that their child can receive a free book until they turn 5 as long as they live in Cumberland County and have registered for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. And people in the local area definitely didn’t know about the Community Survey, which offered $200 in gift card prizes for either completing the survey or simply sharing the news about it. According to Library Director Lisa Davis, “When it comes down to it, the survey will be very helpful to the library in planning for the future. It lets us know which social media platforms are most popular with our patrons for future marketing efforts. It also gives us a list of classes and
“Maybe not to everyone’s knowledge he silently brought people together to better people, whether it was supporting 4-H and FFA, encouraging kids to farm or support of fire and EMS. He was always an encourager,” she said. At the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ meeting held May 23, several supervisors spoke about Timberlake and his contributions to Powhatan. David Williams, who represents District 1, said learning earlier that day about Timberlake’s passing was a “gut punch.” After Timberlake became ill, Williams said he started having conversations in the evenings and was grateful to get to know the farmer and fellow Vietnam veteran better. “We talked about his experience in Vietnam, I would talk about mine and what was going on in the world back in those times. I have to say I probably got more out of those conversations than he did. I don’t mind telling you, it hurts. I really miss him,” said Williams, describing Timberlake as a lovely guy who always had a smile on his face, loved his family and loved Powhatan County. Bill Cox, District 4, said Timberlake was a good friend who did more for agriculture and keeping Powhatan rural than anyone he knows. He was a recognized leader in the statewide Farm Bureau family who brought a number of awards to the local organization, a longtime advocate and a hardworking farmer. “Beyond what he has done for the county, I am going to miss his laugh – Max had a wonderful laugh and I am going to miss him,” he said. Cox said later that as kind and affable as Timberlake was, he could also be passionate and fierce. For instance, if someone called a solar facility a solar farm, “his eyes would change and there would actually be fire in them.” “That was his commitment and his emotional love of farming and what it did for people and what it did for the community,” Cox said.

There’s always a comment or two that are eye-openers and become key points of future staff development training. But, it’s the heartfelt compliments and comments of appreciation that touch our hearts and remind us why we do what we do.

Girls lacrosse dominates in quarterfinals By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
Finishing the regular season with a perfect record and one of the most balanced rosters in the state, the Powhatan girls lacrosse team’s postseason started out with yet another commanding performance. For the third time this season, the Indians took on their Dominion rival Monacan Chiefs (3-10), and for the third time, the Indians took control almost immediately. Powhatan — currently ranked 17th in the state according to MaxPreps — has now improved to 14-0 on the season with the 23-5 win on May 25
and proved once again that as the 4A Regional Tournament one-seed, they are a team to be feared. The quarterfinals win is only the second time in program history that the Indians have won their opening regional tournament game. “It feels exciting,” head coach Laura Camp said. “To advance to the semifinals is encouraging, and we’re so proud of the girls with the way they played today. I’m just excited to continue this journey.” The Indians had seven players score at least two goals on the day and nearly every player that saw the field put one in the back of the net. The result was also their seventh
team’s scoresheet all season, and that trend wasn’t any different in their postseason debut. The Indians also saw senior Jordan Krauss follow close behind with three goals and two assists in the win, while her sister Erica added two of her own. Joining the sisters in the multi-goal club was freshman Caroline Camp and juniors Carly Rehme, Sophia Payne and Lexi Campbell, with each adding two goals. “I think our team is PHOTO BY ROBBY FLETCHER very good about using Junior defender Samantha Flippo (4) deals with aggressive defense each other, not playing from the Monacan Chiefs while making a run into the attacking zone in selfi shly and using every Powhatan’s 23-5 4A regional quarterfinals win on May 25. single girl to their maxiKate Adams with a four- mum potential,” Jordan time this season scoring quick second half.

Powhatan softball starts regionals with shutout By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
After ending the regular season in a close 1-0 loss to the Cosby Titans on May 19 — just the fourth time the Indians have been held scoreless all season — Powhatan entered its opening matchup of the Region 4B Tournament on a mission. Taking on the Eastern View Cyclones on Wednesday, May 25, Powhatan’s mission to run up the score while still playing the same brand of defense that pushed the team toward the top of the Dominion District paid off, resulting in a 7-0 shutout led by a Madalyn Johnson no-hitter. The Cyclones’ season ends with a 9-11 record out of the Battlefield District, but the Indians have the intent to make a serious tournament run after missing out on a sized-down 2020-21 tournament that carried just two teams out of the district. see SOFTBALL, pg. 2B

Two Indians states-bound By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
A
fter seeing one Powhatan track and field athlete make it to the state finals after their indoor track and field season, the Indians are now sending two more to the highest level of Virginia competition after competing in the Region 4B Championships on Tuesday, May 24. Sophomores Mayson Jenkins and Leyla Sakrisson booked their tickets to the state championship held at Liberty University on June 3 with top-5 finishes in their events. Jenkins, competing in the 400-meter dash against 34 of the region’s top sprinters, stepped up
on the big stage with a run that earned her fourth place in the competition with a time of 1 minute, 1.30 seconds. Jenkins was in the middle of the tight race alongside the rest of the top-7, with a difference of just two seconds separating first and seventh place. In Jenkins’ case, she was behind the second place finisher Evelyn Anderson of Eastern View by less than a second, crossing the finish line 0.58 seconds after the Cyclones junior. The state-qualifying time is a well-deserved one for the Powhatan sophomore, who just barely missed out on qualifying for states during the indoor track and field season in the 300-meter dash
after placing fifth. Jenkins also competed in the 200-meter dash and the long jump. She posted a time of 28.58 seconds in the 200, good for 18th place among 47 runners, and she placed seventh in the long jump with a leap that measured out to 15 feet, 4.75 inches. Sakrisson, competing in the discus competition, will accompany her sprinting teammate Jenkins after a stellar best throw of 89 feet, 6 inches put her in third place. Sakrisson’s monster throw was far ahead of the throws outside of the top3. The impressive display of strength is a true achievement of how much Sakrisson has improved from her first year with the team to this year. One
of Sakrisson’s most notable performances last season came on Powhatan’s senior night when she threw for 61 feet, 6 inches. Now, she’s blowing previous results out of the water, and is poised to have a shot to compete at states in Lynchburg. While only two Indians are heading to states, there were plenty of strong performances of note that found athletes place within the top-5. Notably, senior Asher Timberlake went out with another impressive discus performance to cap off a decorated athletic career at Powhatan. Timberlake placed fifth in the contest, with a best throw of 125-2 that was 2 inches away from fourth place finisher see STATES, pg. 2B
C&F C&F BankBank’s AthleteAthlete of the Week of the Week SOCCER ALL-STAR WHO: SYDNEY ARNOLD WHAT SHE DID: The Powhatan girls soccer team celebrated its four seniors in style on May 18, as the team dominated the L.C. Bird Skyhawks in a 10-0 blowout on senior night.
Leading the charge was senior Sydney Arnold, who had a marvelous goal-scoring performance for the Indians, scoring three goals for a hat trick. The Skyhawks had no answers for Arnold, who put herself into position in front of the net to earn arguably her best performance of the season. Arnold, the only senior to not have been with Powhatan all four years,
says her lone season with the Indians has been a special one, as the team’s chemistry has proven key to some of their best performances of the year. “Everyone feels like more than just a teammate, and more like a best friend,” Arnold said. The Indians now hold a 4-11-1 record, with two of those wins coming against the Skyhawks.

Powhatan tennis: Top doubles pairings advance to next round By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
With their team competitions finished last week, Powhatan’s boys and girls tennis teams come down to the singles and doubles regional tournaments headlined by senior Jacob Pfab and freshman Jamison Wallace on the boys side and freshman Emma Carter and sophomore Carter Quinn for the girls. After their first round matchups, Pfab advanced to the quarterfinals with a perfect two-set sweep against Patrick Henry, the doubles pairing of Pfab and Wallace shut out Henrico’s doubles pairing in two quick sets and the pairing of Carter and Quinn also took down Henrico to move on to their doubles quarterfinals. In Carter’s singles matchups, she won her first round game against Patrick Henry’s top player Emma Goldman before falling to Atlee’s Elizabeth Hughes in the next round. For Pfab, the dynamic senior made quick work of his opponent in the singles
match, proving to be the more seasoned and disciplined player as he won every game on the way to his victory. In doubles, that success was still a constant, this time benefitting from the help of Wallace as the tandem played off each other extremely well for a game that ended in a blink of an eye at Mechanicsville High School’s tennis courts. Pfab’s patience playing close to the net and his ability to perfectly time his shot off lobs proved to be the difference in most of the games, but Wallace was dominant in his own right, delivering deadly serves that whizzed past the Warriors players on numerous occasions. On the girls side, Carter and Quinn traveled to Dinwiddie High School for their tournament matchups, with the freshman No. 1 getting a solid winning result in her opening singles matchup with Goldman. While Goldman won two games in both sets, Carter proved to have the
more well-rounded game, as she started off her first regional tournament of her young career with two 6-2 sets for the win. In her next matchup, Carter faced Hughes for the second time in a week, and though Hughes won with two 6-1 sets, it was an improved result for Carter after she lost earlier in the week with two 6-0 sets. Carter’s season is not over yet though, as she teamed with Quinn for an impressive win over Henrico. While Henrico gave them a strong fight early in the first set, the Powhatan duo responded when they needed to and put the set away with a 6-4 win. In the second set, they appeared to have figured things out, ending things with a 6-2 set to pull away for a victory that pushes them toward a matchup with the top-seeded Monacan Chiefs. With plenty of tennis left to be played, the Indians’ top players are showing out to keep their seasons alive.

Johnson’s terrific evening on the mound becomes all the more impressive when you factor in the hitting talent of Eastern View, who finished the season having three games with 10 or more runs and averaged five runs per game. In her seven innings pitched, Johnson struck out 12 batters and walked just two, making quick work of the Cyclones and getting her team off the field quickly. While Eastern View struggled connecting on the ball, they did start the game off well in limiting Powhatan’s offense from earning runs. The game was scoreless for four innings, with credit going to some strong play in the outfield by the Cyclones. After the Cyclones left

is something that we use every single game and it gives us an edge.” Powhatan’s excellent playmaking and off-ball movement with the ball set up behind the net were crucial to their scoring success. It all started with the playmaking of players like Camp, who led the team with three assists as well as passing contributions from Jordan Krauss, Rehme, senior Kendall McMullin, sophomore Grace Hayden and junior Hunter King. Defensively, the Indians let a few goals get past them, including two each from senior Natalie Seaton and freshman Emily Miller, but those goals were not nearly enough to

Indians on the board with an RBI single that sent Flora home. The Cyclones started to lose composure from there, with the Indians scoring their second run immediately after off a costly error from the shortstop that got senior Emma Phillips to second base and allowed Savannah Johnson and George to score two more runs. The final run of the inning came courtesy of a 2-RBI single from senior Carsen Hogston after her line drive to center field scored in Phillips and freshman Megan Gobble. In the blink of an eye, the score read 5-0 in favor of the home team Indians, who continued to frustrate the Cyclones offense thanks to four Johnson strikeouts and two fly out catches by Phillips and Hogston. The final two runs
both came in the bottom of the sixth, with the first being scored thanks to an RBI single from Phillips, capping off an all-around fantastic day for the graduating second baseman. The seventh run was a mad dash to home base from Savannah Johnson off a wild pitch. With it all said and done, the Indians made a strong first impression in their first game back in the regional tournament. After the win, the Indians now head to the regional quarterfinals for a matchup with the Atlee Raiders, who were second in the Capital District behind Hanover with a 15-4 record. The Raiders, currently the 4B three-seed in the tournament, are coming off of a first round bye. Robby Fletcher can be reached at rfletcher@ powhatantoday.com.

With multiple faceoff wins, the Indians trucked forward on the attack with numbers and a roster full of players capable of scoring themselves or setting up a teammate for a quick shot. Going into the half, the Indians led with a 15-2 advantage, never seeming to let the Chiefs get comfortable or have any semblance of momentum at any point in the first 25 minutes. When the final whistle called the game in Powhatan’s favor, the Indians celebrated on the field like a team experiencing the feelings of elite-level status for the first time, and
while there’s still a long way to go before they can crown themselves the champion of the region, there doesn’t seem to be much standing in their way to get to that championship trophy and a state tournament bid when they play this level of lacrosse for a full game. “I’m looking forward to seeing the girls step up their game and play under pressure and play a competitive game of lacrosse. We’ve just got to finish this season strong,” Camp said.
