Juneteenth events shine light on road to freedom

By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – More than 125 people came out to the Powhatan Branch NAACP’s Juneteenth Program to learn more about the history and meaning behind the nation’s newest federal holiday.

The program, which was held on the evening of Saturday, June 18 at the Powhatan African American Cultural Arts Museum, was a mix of national and local history, honoring the past while also celebrating the future. Organizers called this first observance of the holiday at the museum a “day of recognition, restoration and celebra-

POWHATAN – Great weather and water levels and excited participants combined last week to make the 37th annual James River Batteau Festival a big success.

Fifteen boats left Lynchburg on Saturday, June 18 for the eight-day float down the James River, ending when boats pulled out of the river Saturday, June 25 at Maidens Landing in Powhatan County. Three boats did

pull out along the way and didn’t complete the entire trip.

But while the historical boats and their crews, which are inspired by the shallow draft river craft used to transport goods in the 1700s and 1800s, are the focus of the event, the festival touches hundreds of people, including the ground crews helping them along the way, the canoers and kayakers sharing the river and the spectators that come to watch and offer greetings see BATTEAU, pg. 6

POWHATAN – The lives and service of three Powhatan veterans were recently recognized with Senate resolutions passed during the 2022 session and a special ceremony held in their honor.

A special memorial ceremony was held Saturday, June 18 at County Seat Restaurant to honor Maj. Gen. Henry Jervey (18661942), Brig. Gen. James Jervey (1869-1947), and Col. A. S. Quintard (1891-1972) and present copies of the Senate resolutions sponsored by Sen. Ghazala Hashmi to their descendants.

Paul Mitchell, the organizer of the event, began researching the three men in 2021 to supply the necessary information for the resolutions. He already believed going into the experience that the three men had done a great deal in their lifetimes worthy of recognition, but as he received information from sources such as various archives in Virginia and elsewhere and conducted interviews with people who knew the men or knew of them, even he found some neat surprises.

“All three men were so incredibly modest that even their descendants were not well informed of how grand these men had been,” Mitchell said. “Now the descendants and their relatives are fully informed of how extraordinary these three men were and Powhatan is informed of how extraordinary they were.”

Hashmi agreed to sponsor the three resolutions in honor of the men and presented framed copies of them to descendants as well as providing the opening remarks at the ceremony.

She said in a separate statement that when Mitchell shared his research on the three Powhatan veterans, “all three of whom led exemplary lives of service to their country and to their communities, I realized that it was im-

portant to honor their memories with a Senate of Virginia Memorial Resolution.”

“Paul’s research not only highlights the impacts of these individuals but also provides a compelling narrative of the ways in which their lives intertwine through Powhatan’s history and the legacy that they have left through their descendants,” she said. “I am appreciative of Paul’s dedicated efforts to illuminate this history, and I was honored to carry the Senate resolutions during this past 2022 Session of the General Assembly.”

Having once been connected to the Jervey family by marriage and growing up at John Tree Hill, which was the home of James Jervey, so many of Mitchell’s friends and neighbors were descendants of James Jervey, all of which made the project highly personal, he said.

But beyond that, the point of trying to get the resolutions, Mitchell said, was to honor men who he didn’t feel got enough attention and recognition for all they did on American soil and around the world.

During the ceremony, Mitchell invited three special speakers to talk about each individual and his accomplishments. Dr. Susie Jervey Walleron spoke about her great-grandfather, Maj. Gen. Henry Jervey; Dr. Mary Ashby McDonaldon talked about her great-grandfather Brig. Gen. James Jervey, and Pete Ashby spoke about his grandfather, Col. Alexander Quintard.

Ben King, director of operations for the Virginia War Museum, also spoke about how the museum’s four core goals match the core values of The Jervey Project.

Black bear goes for a stroll Cumberland man killed in crash Contributed Report

A Cumberland County man was killed last week in a two-vehicle crash in Cumberland County.

At 6:14 p.m. on Sunday, June 19, Virginia State Police responded to a two-vehicle crash on Route 60 just east of Route 606.

A 1995 Pontiac Firebird was traveling west on Route 60 when it moved into the eastbound lane to pass another vehicle. As it came back into the westbound lane, it struck a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe that was traveling in front of the passed vehicle. The impact of the

crash caused the Firebird to strike the guardrail on the left side of the road, spin and strike the guardrail a second time.

The driver of the Firebird, Dalton G. Stetson, 31, of Cumberland died at the scene. He was not wearing a seatbelt.

The driver of the Santa Fe, Clifford E. Brooks, 82, of Cumberland was uninjured in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.

The Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District has approved approximately $260,000 dollars of funding to area farmers and landowners.

The funding is from the Virginia Agricultural Cost Share Program (VACS). The purpose of this funding is to cover a portion of the cost for farmers to install conservation practices to reduce erosion and nutrient runoff to improve water quality. This funding will implement approximately 144 separate conservation practices in Goochland and Powhatan counties. These practices included converting erosive cropland to permanent grassland, installing fencing and excluding livestock access and waste from streams, continuous no-till cultivation of crops, and several new practices to more efficiently use and prevent runoff in the application of nitrogen and phosphorous from cropland. The grant of funds from the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for this program is the largest amount of funding the Monacan District has received in the last ten years. There are still funds available to assist other farmers and landowners with installing additional practices.

For information, contact the Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District at 804556-4936.

Mills area of Powhatan, according to the resolution in his honor. His education in civil engineering took him from The University of the South to the United States Military Academy at West Point, both times graduating top of his class, and then on to the Army Corps of Engineers’ Engineering School of Application at Willet’s Point in the New York Harbor.

Just some of the accomplishments of Jervey’s long and varied career include: being in charge of the Mississippi River Improvement Fourth District, supervising a crew of 19 aboard a ship taking up mines which had been laid at the onset of the Spanish-American War (surviving unscathed when one exploded and sank his ship); supervising hundreds of laborers who moved 200,000 cubic yards of earth in the construction of the Kempe Levee; being assigned to the defense of rivers and harbors in Florida and Alabama; being responsible for the improvement of the Ohio River for navigation, including completing the Fernbank Dam and beginning construction of several other dams in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana; writing “Warfare of the Future,” and overseeing the construction of fortifications along the south Atlantic coastline, including Cape Henry at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. He worked as assistant chief of staff/director of operations for the first Chief of Staff of the United States Army in the build up to World War I. Jervey was among the first six officers to receive the Distinguished Military Service Medal, created by Congress in

SECOND ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH

1918, for “especially meritorious and conspicuous services as Director of Operations, General Staff during the Great World War” and also received honors from the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and Italy.

After the war, Jervey oversaw the purchase of 135,000 acres near Fayetteville, North Carolina, for the creation of what is now Fort Bragg and served as commander of posts in New York and Hawaii. He retired from the Army in 1922 and was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery after his passing in 1942.

James Jervey James Jervey was born on Nov. 14, 1869, and was one of Henry Jervey’s brothers, also growing up in Powhatan. He followed in his brother’s footsteps to study civil engineering at West Point and then Army Engineering School of Application at Willet’s Point.

James Jervey also had a long career with plenty of significant accomplishments: being placed in charge of fortification work and underwater mine defenses at Pensacola, Florida, during the SpanishAmerican War; completing a tour of duty in the Philippines that saw him fulfilling several roles; commanding the 1st Battalion of Engineers and the post of Fort Mason, California; being selected to assist with the construction of the Panama Canal (working on it from 1908 to 1913), and serving as a district engineer in Wheeling, West Virginia, building dams and locks to make the Upper Ohio River navigable for shipping, and in Norfolk, where his duties included expanding and

improving the intracoastal waterway in the region.

During World War I, Jervey commanded the 304th Engineers of the 79th Division, participating in the Meuse-Argonne offensive and later became chief engineer of the 7th Corps and assistant to the chief engineer of the American Expeditionary Forces. He received the Distinguished Military Service Medal for his contributions to maintaining roads in a suitable condition for the transportation of artillery and large quantities of supplies during the attack on Montfaucon and Nantillois.

After the war, Jervey was assigned to postings in Washington, D.C., Delaware, and Maryland and served as a member of the River and Harbor Board. He retired from the Army in 1920 with the rank of brigadier general.

After the military, he served as the city manager of Portsmouth and then worked as chair of the mathematics department at the University of the South. At the onset of World War II, he contributed to the war effort by teaching an accelerated course in navigation to Naval ROTC cadets and United States Navy officers before retiring in 1945 and settling in Powhatan with his wife, Jean, until his death in 1947.

Alexander Quintard Alexander “Alec” Quintard, who was born in 1891, would graduate from Sewanee Military Academy, located on the campus of The University of the South, in 1909 and travel the country as a member of the United States Geological Survey. He worked for banking and insurance firms in Norfolk

A special memorial ceremony was held June 18 at County Seat Restaurant to honor Maj. Gen. Henry Jervey, Brig. Gen. James Jervey and Col. A. S. Quintard. Shown during the event, from left: Sen. Ghazala Hashmi presents Gen. James Jervey’s Senate Resolution to Capt. Jack McDonald, who spoke about the life and incredible achievements of his great-great-grandfather; Keith Evans, the only Eagle Scout during Alexander Quintard’s 12 years as Scoutmaster of Troop 869, holds up the latter’s army uniform, which had been given him approximately 50 years ago by the Ashby family; former BSA Troop 869 Scouts who served under Alexander Quintard include Paul Mitchell, Robb Gwaltney, Rick Cole, Billy Lee Llewellyn Jr., Jim Blandford, Pete Ashby, and Keith Evans, and the reception’s organizer Paul Mitchell stands with Ben King, director of operations for the Virginia War Memorial, who spoke at the event.

until he volunteered for military service in the lead-up to World War I. In 1918, he was assigned to the Eighth Field Artillery Regiment in Georgia, where he met his wife, Jean Postell Jervey, with whom he proudly raised three daughters.

Quintard earned the Distinguished Service Medal for his meritorious actions during the Battle of Saint-Mihiel and continued serving on active duty with the Army after the end of the war. In the 1930s, Quintard served as a field artillery instructor with the North Carolina National Guard, and in 1941, he was promoted to colonel and given command of the 301st Field Artillery Regiment in the Philippines.

After Japan launched a surprise attack on the Philippines on Dec. 8, 1941, Quintard was tasked with organizing a field artillery unit with civilian volunteers; in a testament to his abilities, he trained nearly 600 volunteers with no prior military experience as heavy artillerists that courageously opposed the Japanese invasion force. During the Battle of Bataan in 1941, he commanded the heavy artillery for II Corps and received another Distinguished Service Medal for his gallantry and exceptional leadership. After the fall of the Philippines, Quintard and his fellow prisoners of war participated in the infamous Bataan Death March, a grueling forced march from the Bataan peninsula to a concentration camp between 60 and 70 miles away that resulted in thou-

sands of Allied casualties. He was transferred to several different camps during three and a half years of captivity before he was freed.

Quintard returned to Virginia and commanded what is now Fort A.P. Hill in Bowling Green from 1946 to 1949; he later retired to the Fine Creek Mills area of Powhatan County, naming his home “Midway” as a reference to the decisive Battle of Midway during the war. Many people alive today remember Quintard as a highly admired community leader in Powhatan, establishing two Boy Scout troops in the area and serving as Sunday school superintendent and senior warden at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. He died in 1972.

Some of his former Boy Scouts were able to attend the ceremony, Mitchell said.

Habitat’s Juneteenth Celebration focused on fellowship, family, food PHOTOS COURTESY OF HABITAT FOR HUMANITY-POWHATAN

Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan’s second Juneteenth celebration was held June 18 on the lawn beside the ReStore. Visitors had the opportunity to shop with black-owned businesses and visit booths run by local churches and nonprofit groups. State Sen. Ghazela Hashmi also visited the ReStore for the first time and stopped by each booth

By Susan Winiecki Special to the Powhatan Today

Latrice Samuels attended her very first Juneteenth event last year — a cook-out at a friend’s house, where she received a special Juneteenth shirt.

She wore that shirt to Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan’s second Juneteenth celebration June 18 on the lawn beside the ReStore at 1922 Urbine Road.

Samuels, in turn, found a complementary shirt for her mother, Barbara Taylor, to wear in their Juneteenth decorated vendor booth filled with poundcake slices inspired by a recipe from Taylor’s mother, Alberta Watson of Powhatan.

“This celebration is important to be part of,” Samuels said, “to mark the day” when the news of freedom finally reached Texas, where more than 250,000 black people were still enslaved in June 19, 1865 — two months after the Civil War concluded.

Taylor started Barbie’s Cakes &

More last June as a way to honor her mother and foster a business that would be something that she could manage after she retires as a full-time cook. Selling 83 of the 95 poundcake slices she brought, Taylor is on her way to a sweet foundation for her business — many in the crowd purchased and raved about her honey bun poundcake creation.

Before eating and shopping began, Deone and Roger Allen of Powhatan’s EPIC Fit greeted the crowd and kicked off the morning with a challenging fitness class at 9:30 a.m. on the lawn.

State Sen. Ghazela Hashmi also visited the ReStore for the first time and stopped by each booth, meeting businesses owners and listening to local history.

Over at the booth devoted to the history of Powhatan’s Pocahontas School, graduates Grace Anderson-Hawkins and Julia Thornton Carter welcomed visitors. Anderson-Hawkins shared a prized copy of “And Still We Rise,” which was given to her mother, Cora Anderson, by Beverly Funn before she

passed away. The book by Carolyn Mazloomi chronicles 400 years of African American history through 97 quilts. The book inspired AndersonHawkins to begin a quilt made from pieces of her mother’s clothing.

Anderson-Hawkins also had a printed copy of Langston Hughes’ poem, “A Negro Speaks of Rivers,” and encouraged attendees to read and act out the poem. The following day, Anderson-Hawkins presented the poem at First Antioch Baptist Church for Father’s Day. Habitat-Powhatan’s Juneteenth Celebration also included a number of other black-owned businesses, churches and significant sites including Little Zion Workshop Way Preschool, the Drexel-Morrell Center at Rosemont House, which was constructed by William Sturdivent Taylor, an ancestor of Powhatan families today; locally owned The Cozy Headband; L’Essentials by Llorel Eldridge; Planet ICE, and door hangings by Martha Cox.

Nurse educator Sharon AlexanderFeggins, who retired from the Free Clinic of Powhatan last May, displayed and sold jewelry she creates for the second year.

With the tagline, “One of a kind with you in mind,” Alexander-Feggins expresses her Jamaican and African ancestry through her pieces — “the vibrant colors of enjoyment and happiness.”

Alexander-Feggins, who always had a love of fashion and jewelry, began designing when she needed to find balance to a challenging career in oncology nursing 20 years ago.

She combs Harlem markets, New York City’s garment district and other shops for her beads, adding that she likes to use pieces and parts made by women and that support womanowned enterprises. “For example, I have beads made from magazines by women in Kenya.”

as the boats pass.

After leaving Lynchburg on the first day of the festival, crews float and pole down to different private properties along the James River with whom they have an agreement to camp each night. The days are marked with polling the batteaux down the river and the nights spent in the campgrounds or back on the boats.

At the annual festival meeting held Friday, June 24 at the Cartersville Landing, festival chairman Andrew Shaw remarked on how incredible it is that the festival has been going for 37 years, even continuing in a somewhat limited capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. He encouraged participants to promote the need for more boats being built to help keep the love and intereste in the festival alive for future generations.

But focusing on the here and now, Shaw said it was a great week with only one night of bad weather when the boats were docked in Scottsville. The rest of the time, he said, it was amazing.

“I loved the water level. It is low enough to be a little bit of a challenge but it is high enough not to just be painful. There is a good line pretty much everywhere if you work for it, so I think it is an ideal water level,” Shaw said.

Powhatan County was once again represented through the crews of two batteaux, Fine Creek Mill and the Lady’s Slipper.

Powhatan resident Ned Nelson, who is co-captain of the Fine Creek Mill with Carter Anderson, agreed the water levels were at the “perfect low level” to create interesting challenges in reading and navigating the river all week.

“It is the ‘perfect wrong level.’ That is what I called it. If it had been a little higher we would have gone right over some of those rocks; if it had been a little lower, it would have given you the direct route you needed. It was hard to read for a lot of people,” Nelson said.

He added that his crew did an amazing job throughout the week, and he was happy to have family on the boat, including his grandchildren at times.

David Samuel of Powhatan, a member of the Lady’s Slipper, celebrated his 14th year with the festival last week. The camaraderie and the fun of being on the river with his “batteau family” keeps him coming back every year, he said.

Unlike years with extremely high or low water, Samuel noted that there were parts of the James River where boats had to carefully choose their routes to avoid hitting or getting stuck on rocks but still plenty of routes that went pretty smooth and made for some wonderful days on the James River.

Legacy of great batteauman still lives on

By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – We rarely wanted help, but when we needed assistance, it was good when it was nearby.

Floating the James River Batteau Festival as a crew member of the Powhatan-based batteau the Lady’s Slipper has become a highlight for me every summer. Sure there are a few challenges – going several days without showering, no flushing toilets, sometimes blistering sun or heavy rain, the constant reminder to respect the power of the rushing river, and the epic number of bug bites.

And while the replicas of the shallow draft river craft used from around 1775 to 1840 to transport tobacco, other cargo, and sometimes passengers down rivers in colonial days may seem long when you see them on the river, there are only so many places you can go to get a little privacy and alone time. Regardless, all these challenges pale in comparison to the benefits.

In addition to enjoying the beauty of the natural surroundings and the time to decompress and disconnect, the people are my favorite aspect of the experience. From the first year I attended the festival to cover it for the Powhatan Today – and more so now several years later in my role as a crew member – what has always stood out to me about it is the fellowship and solidarity it encourages. A respect for the power of the river comes with a respect for the part our crew and others sharing the river – whether in a batteau, kayak, canoe, or tube – have in making

the experience as safe as possible.

We look out for each other, and if help is needed, it is almost always offered, whether it is extra muscle getting off a tricky rock or an extra set of eyes when we are away from our boat at night and it is taking on water. This obviously isn’t a trait exclusive to our festival, but it is an aspect of the celebration that makes being on the river with these other crews each year a true joy.

During this year’s festival, I sat down for a long conversation about the history of the festival with Dr. Bill Trout, curator of the Virginia Canal Museum.

The Virginia Canal Society works in tandem with the festival to promote the historical and educational aspects tied to the use of batteaux in Virginia. Dr. Trout sets up a table at each campsite to sell books published on the subject and talk to spectators and participants.

During that discussion, I learned about a batteauman we would have been proud to have as part of the festival because of his strength, bravery and willingness to help others, even at the risk of his own life.

Historically, and still today, the batteaux flow with the river but are propelled by crew members pushing it down river faster using long poles. Boatmen in colonial days were nearly all enslaved and free African Americans.

One such man was Frank Padget, who was born an African American slave and later became a batteau captain along the James River. His strength would all be put to the test on Jan. 21, 1854, when heavy rains saw water conditions on the James River running

Urban legends, real or imagined, provide intrigue

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

I’m sure we all have stories from our past that seem unbelievable, either in actuality or in accordance with today’s standards. And then there are those stories that no one can actually confirm, but plenty will attest to its authenticity.

It’s probably better not to delve into the details of most of these quasi legends, but there are a few that baffle me to this day. After decades of consideration, I’m still not sure any or all of them have any basis in fact, but they sure make for good conversation.

Back in the days when hitchhiking to the Rapids was a daily occurrence for me and most of my friends we often wondered if anyone had ever jumped off the old Huguenot Bridge.

I’m not sure what the attraction was, but jumping off high rocked walls held enormous intrigue for us, and we never passed on an opportunity to take a precarious leap in to some quarry or river.

Jumping off the Huguenot Bridge seemed akin to going over Niagara Falls in a barrel to most of us, but legend has it that one man accomplished the feat.

Whether or not a friend of ours, who shall remain nameless, leaped from the bridge safely and splashed down in the Kanawha Canal is still a mystery, but knowing the man, the story seems plausible.

Another notable local legend involves a spot on the river just east of the bridge that once served as a recreational spot for local teenagers called the Z Dam. A calm wade across the old structure provided access to a place called Sandy Beach notorious for its raucous beach parties.

It was not unusual on a summer

night to see reflections of numerous groups as they crossed the dam, lined up in caravan tope fashion with coolers and other accessories packed on their backs headed for Sandy Beach.

Although the parties were legendary, the number of parties decreased in late summer as the water flowing across the dam slowed to a trickle.

The rocks below provided an easy path to the popular beach, but few were interested in sitting on a beach with little or no water.

Again, legend has it that it was during one of these less intense evenings when a group of kids packed a 1953 Chevrolet full of 3.2% beer and drove across the rocks to Sandy Beach.

Now, I can attest a similar vehicle did wind up in the river yards down from the dam.

Perhaps, the legend evolved as a way to explain the positioning of that car, but the talk around town settled on the claim of the impossible journey. The boy who claimed to have piloted the joy ride never wavered in his claims of authenticity.

I certainly can’t confirm that any of these events actually occurred, and my evidence is at best sketchy; but there’s no doubt these tidbits of a city’s past provide food for thought.

And, these are only two examples of fantastic tales told by the ones who remember those unheralded highlights.

I’m sure you have your own version of local urban legends, some too fantastic, illegal or dangerous to mention. Maybe, it’s all part of that part of the past often referred to as best forgotten to many but worthy of a whimsical smile from others.

To this day more than five decades later and true or not, I never cross the Huguenot Bridge without glancing over at the canal and wondering “how did he make it.”

high and fast, Dr. Trout said.

A canal boat carrying rail workers upriver to work was crossing the North River (now the Maury River) when its tow rope broke and the boat began to drift downriver toward a dam. As the canal boat passed large rock formations in the river, many of the passengers and crew scrambled off the boat and onto them. Others cried out for help from a nearby batteau.

Henry Padget, along with other canal workers, answered the cry for help, beginning to rescue the people on the rocks and the canal boat. During the attempt to save the last man, the batteau struck a rock and started to sink. Padget and the man he was trying to rescue drowned; the other batteau crew members made it onto a rock and waited in the freezing cold until they were later rescued.

A granite monument in Padget’s memory, which is now on private property, was paid for by a planter and slaveholder who saw the rescue and was moved

by Padget’s sacrifice. Other efforts have been made through the years to honor his memory and promote the importance of Padget and others like him to the James River’s history.

“He is our batteau hero. Once the batteau people got interested in batteaux and started the festival, Frank Padget became a kind of icon for us as the famous batteauman,” Trout said.

Dr. Trout said more efforts are still being made to promote that history and gather more information so it can be preserved. For more information on those efforts, visit https://www.vacanals.org/.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Pride Month deserves local recognition Dear Editor, This is a copy of a letter sent to the Powhatan Board of Supervisors and the Powhatan School Board.

Pride Month is celebrated each June in recognition of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City. This event sparked the contemporary movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States. We celebrate the long battle against discrimination based on sexual orientation and the fight for marriage equality. Equality finally became federal law with the 2015 Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges.

Pride Month celebrates the many and varied accomplishments of the global LGBTQ+ community. Special recognition and celebration are needed as our fellow citizens have been marginalized for centuries. Their invaluable contributions to humankind would fill the pages of hundreds, if not thousands of books.

While we commemorate the progress of LGBTQ+ rights in the United States, we are deeply disturbed by the ominous backlash that has recently arisen. This month’s Texas Republican Convention’s platform included the following homophobic language.

“Homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice.” “We believe there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of

state of origin.”

Just as disturbing is the resurrection of the discredited, despicable lie that LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles. The all-too-common lie now being spread on social media and other outlets is that children are being systematically indoctrinated and groomed in the LGBTQ+ lifestyle. This is dangerous and divisive for our society and cannot be allowed to go unchallenged. This stereotype led to “gay bashing.” These assaults were common and generally ignored by law enforcement until recent years.

The Powhatan County Democratic Committee stands with our LGBTQ+ friends and family. We celebrate their accomplishments and recognize that we are a better and freer society thanks to them. We also stand with them in fighting against any threats, accusations and lies which may be leveled.

Ultimately, they are a part of us. Abraham Lincoln’s words still ring true, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

As members of the Board of Supervisors and the School Board, we call on you to recognize Pride Month and the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. We also respectfully ask that you accept, respect, and support the rights and dignity of all citizens and fight back against any cynical attacks against them.

Sincerely, Robert J. Kelly Chair of the Powhatan County Democratic Committee

neteenth is acknowledging that it represented freedom finally being a reality for all Americans, which is something that people should want to celebrate regardless of their age or ethnicity, she said.

“A lot of people didn’t know about Juneteenth. It has been in existence but they didn’t know a lot about it until two or three years ago,” said Gail Hairston, president of the NAACP. “When it was made into a federal holiday last year, a lot of people asked, ‘Why are we celebrating Juneteenth? We thought everybody celebrated Independence Day.’ ” Visitors to the museum had a variety of ways to immerse themselves in the event, through a combination of static displays as well as speakers, music and performances.

After opening words from the Rev. Darnell Carruthers, readings pertaining to events of June 19, 1865, were done by Andrew C. Snead, the Rev. Michael K. Edwards, Chiara Hoyt, Rick Montgomery, Leslie Baskins-Asip, Nicolas Snead and Andrew D. Snead. Spiritual songs such as “Down by the Riverside” and “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” were performed by Gail Hairston.

In addition to the regular museum exhibits, special displays from the DrexelMorrell Center highlight the genealogy efforts of 10 Powhatan families, said Geri Venable, an advisory board member with the center and historical program coordinator. The displays served both as a way to share local history and showcase the importance of genealogy searches and how they are done.

“We invited the families to come and talk about their families and how they did their research,” she said. “It was understood that those 10 families would be willing to assist other families who wanted to do ancestry research.”

Sandra Kemp, also an advisory board member as well as an author and local historian, was incredibly excited to see

the displays up at the museum, including ones she worked on for the Morris and the Carrington families. She traced her family history back to slaves on the Powhatan property known as Belmead on the James.

“In 1835 my African American ancestors came to Belmead with Philip St. George Cock. I can trace my ancestry from slavery through reconstruction, segregation days and integration,” she said.

These displays are just the beginning, Venable said. Depending on the interests people have in researching, the DrexelMorrell Center volunteers are glad to help, she added.

“There are not only resources on the internet but the county, the historical society, the library, the Library of Virginia.

All of them have all of this information just waiting for people to ask,” she said.

And unlike many of the more widely known people and events studied during Black History Month, these displays offer a distinctly Powhatan perspective, Kemp added.

“For so long in February we talk about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. We need to know that history too, but we need to know the history that took place right here in Powhatan,” she said. “By watching or listening to the speakers and reading the details from the displays of the different families, that will enlighten individuals to the happenings in Powhatan. How it was in Powhatan – not things taken from the history books. This is learning about your actual history in a particular community.”

The displays about the 10 Powhatan families will be up in the museum until July 5. If the doors of the the Pocahontas Landmark Center gym, where the museum is located in the lobby, are locked, contact Powhatan County Parks and Recreation to be let in to see the exhibit at 804-598-5275.

Powhatan AD Llewellyn looks back on career

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

A

fter 33 years as an educator, coach and athletic director, Tim Llewellyn is ready for a change.

Announcing his retirement from his position as athletic director at Powhatan High School this past May, Llewellyn ends a five-year tenure as the head of the Indians’ athletic department, which has taken major strides as a whole in his time with the school.

Llewellyn, who was a basketball standout at Clover Hill and Bridgewater College, had felt since high school that this was the career path he wanted to pursue, saying he owes much of his passion for the job to the coaches he played under.

“Since I was in high school myself, I always wanted to coach basketball and be a teacher just because of the coaches that I had in high school and the respect for them that I had,” Llewellyn said.

When Llewellyn looks back on the accomplishments from the student-

athletes at Powhatan, he says moments as recent as this year’s boys soccer and girls basketball teams reaching the state tournament all the way back to the softball team reaching the state championship in his first year in 2017 are notable highlights he’ll always remember fondly.

“The student achievements at Powhatan the last five years have been remarkable, especially the resiliency the kids showed coming through COVID,” he said.

He also says getting the school into the Dominion District and watching them immediately flourish was something he feels is a career highlight of his time at Powhatan.

“A lot of people did not feel like we could be that competitive leaving the Jefferson District and heading into the Dominion District, and we showed right away that we could be competitive in all sports right off the bat.”

Llewellyn’s professional career started at Midlothian Middle School as a teacher and coach, before he eventu-

in high school.

He said the only place he’d take an AD position was at Powhatan, and in 2017, that opportunity became a possibility after Jimmy Woodson retired from the position.

“I took over for a legend. I feel like I took the program that I inherited from him, and I hope that I made it better,” he said.

The new position also gave him an opportunity to watch his daughter Lauren in nearly every volleyball game she played in her last two years while also having her as a student aid working alongside him.

For Llewellyn, the job was always tied to his family the entire way through. Even when his kids graduated, his wife Beth was still a constant presence around him and the Powhatan community, helping at every home varsity football game for all five years that he worked as AD.

Multi-sport star Cheatham ready for new chapter

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

D

rew Cheatham is a man of many talents.

A multisport athlete that left an impact on the Indians football, baseball and wrestling teams, the versatility and overall respect Cheatham had earned after his four years at Powhatan High have ensured he leaves behind a legacy of class and highlight reel moments that future Indians will view as an example to be followed.

Now heading to Christopher Newport University to continue playing baseball, his first love between the three sports, Cheatham may be leaving behind two sports he’s grown to love, but he says the coaches and teammates he’s met from those teams have all influenced him into becoming both a better athlete and better person.

At 2 years old, Cheath-

am first tried picking up a baseball bat, sparking a lifelong interest in the sport that he’s now played for 16 years. With his dad coaching him until he was 12 years old and his younger brother following in his footsteps in every sport they played, there was always a level of competitive drive with baseball that was instilled in Cheatham from an early age.

“Whatever my brother was doing, I was trying to do at the same time even though he was three years younger,” he said.

His start in wrestling wasn’t as quick of a developed passion though.

Starting his time on the mats at 6 years old, Cheatham says while his parents had to continuously push him to keep trying the sport, the coaching influences of people like Zach Olson and legendary Powhatan wrestling coach and founder of Blackhawk Gym and Powhatan Youth Wrestling Club

PLL All-Star teams shine in district tournament

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

Taking the fields at Manchester High School for the 2022 Virginia District 5 Little League Tournament, Powhatan’s 9/10/11 softball and Majors baseball All-Star teams proved their star power against top-tier talent.

The baseball All-Stars team kicked off its journey in the winner’s bracket with a nail-biting 1-0 victory over Mechanicsville on Saturday, June 25 before falling 9-0 to Huguenot the very next day.

The softball All-Stars, meanwhile, continue on in the winner’s bracket after a dominant 12-0 win over Mechanicsville on Saturday and a close finish of their own in a 2-1 result against Huguenot.

In the baseball team’s matchup with Mechanicsville, the group’s outstanding pitching was the story, as Ryan Plunkett impressed on the mound for almost the entire game before Nick Dekeyser closed out the win in the

CHEATHAM Continued from pg. 1B

The fact that Cheatham’s been around so many influential sports figures in Powhatan has not been lost on him.

While coaches like Olson and Walters fostered his early interest in wrestling, Powhatan’s beloved former baseball coach Gregg Conner helped him tap into the finer elements of his game as a baseball player.

“He was a really good fundamental coach,” he said of Conner. “He just takes the game and simplifies it, yet makes it more complex and more understandable and fun.

You just soak it all in, and it definitely helped me develop into the player I am today.”

While Cheatham feels lucky to have played under Conner during his last season as the high school head coach, there’s also an element of what-if to it all, as Cheatham’s sophomore season was disrupted after just a few scrimmages due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With a loaded baseball team led by current UNC third baseman Brandon Eike, Cheatham still wonders just how far that team could’ve gone in the postseason.

“If we would’ve had that season, we would’ve

final inning.

After allowing a few hits in the first inning, Plunkett shut things down for Mechanicsville’s batters, allowing just one bunt hitter on the bag after the opening inning.

The winning run came courtesy of leadoff hitter Jett Hansen, who scored on a passed ball in the third inning.

In the following matchup against Huguenot, the opposing AllStars had a great day offensively, scoring five runs in the second and three more in the third for an 8-0 lead.

Despite its offensive struggles, Powhatan had some positive moments, including some nice strikeouts from Eli McAteer and Matthew Sabatini on the mound and an impressive leaping catch from Caleb Williamson in the outfield in the fourth inning. Powhatan will now head to the losers bracket with a chance to still make it to the championship game in the double elimination tournament.

The 9/10/11 softball All-Stars played on the field next to the Majors baseball team, and their tournament couldn’t have started any better. Against Mechanicsville, Powhatan’s offense didn’t have a single walk or strike out all afternoon, with each batter making an impact in the 12-0 win.

Their path to victory was not nearly as straightforward against Huguenot, with both teams playing great defense to keep it low scoring all the way until the final pitch. Powhatan pitcher Autumn Adkins threw for the entire game and gave Huguenot fits all day, not allowing a run until the sixth inning.

After both teams remained locked into a scoreless, yet exciting defensive battle, Powhatan finally got the scoring edge in the fifth. With bases loaded and Skyler Jones on the plate with a 3-2 count and two outs, she delivered on a two-run RBI line drive that brought Amiyah Studivant and Raegan Tucker home for a 2-0 lead.

developed more as a team, and then moving on to coach Conner’s last year, we would’ve been absolutely unstoppable,” he said. “I just don’t think we had that team chemistry or experience yet.”

There aren’t many unresolved questions for Cheatham beyond that as he heads to college-level baseball. It’s mostly a swell of great memories: the moments under the lights on the football field where he was a starting outside linebacker his last two years, the feeling of winning two region titles with his wrestling teammates and his first ever winning run in an extra innings classic against Monacan on a day where the team honored Conner with the changing of the baseball field’s name.

With enough moments to last a lifetime, he’s fully prepared to give it everything he’s got with this next step up in college. His decision to go to CNU wasn’t solely focused on the athletic side of the equation though.

During the recruiting process, something he admits started slow, Cheatham had interest from CNU, Lynchburg College and Virginia Military Institute to continue his athletic career, with each interested team reaching out in a sort of

snowball effect that hit him all at once during his junior year.

“I just think it’s funny how the recruiting process works: that first team takes a chance on you and has interest in you, and it sparks a whole lot of other conversations, which I thought was cool,” he said.

Though he had interest in all three of those schools, he says the important part of his decision came down to which school he’d go to if the athletic career was completely thrown out to the side.

When his travel coach James Bierlein of RISE baseball asked him where he would go if he couldn’t ever play baseball again, Cheatham ultimately knew the answer would be CNU. It helps that he developed an immediate respect for the CNU baseball coaching staff as well, who he felt he could grow under.

“They really wanted me, and I felt like I really wanted to be there,” he said.

Entering his freshman year with the Captains, Cheatham feels ready for any on-field opportunity that’s given to him, but the focus right now lies on improving his own game rather than competing with others.

“The expectation is to just come in and compete

and better myself,” he said. “It’s not about looking at who’s in front of me, I’ve got to work on myself. As long as I’m the best version of me, I don’t have to worry about that.”

Living in Powhatan his entire life, baseball is just one of many new challenges he’s ready to face head-on. Majoring in business, he says success with his academics is just as important as

what he does on the baseball field.

“I’m just trying to make my family proud by going out there and getting good grades and trying to make some history playing baseball.”

Post 201 wins doubleheader at home

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

A

fter getting swept in last week’s doubleheader against the Post 284 Bucs, the American Legion Post 201 seniors team came out stronger and more focused this week to capture three straight wins.

Besting Post 39 on Tuesday, June 21 in an 8-2 win to snap the twogame skid, Post 201 kept the momentum from that Tuesday victory and turned it into a sweep in its favor over Post 137 on Sunday, June 26.

In the first game against Post 137, Connor Smith went the distance on the mound with an excellent showing, allowing just one hit and not allowing a single run against Post 201 to lead a 4-0 victory at Baltimore-Conner Field. Smith struck out 12 batters and walked two more over seven innings of play.

Leading the team on offense was a two-hit, two-RBI outing from Reece Hamilton, who kicked off the scoring with an RBI single on a pop fly to center field that scored in Josh Boelt for a 1-0 lead in the second inning.

Boelt had two runs on two at-bats during the game.

Incoming Christopher Newport freshman Drew Cheatham later added to the lead in the bottom of the third, nailing a triple toward right field that scored in Ethan Smith to make it 2-0.

Post 137’s defense stepped up well to avoid any more runs for the next two innings, until Post 201 saw two runners reach home on consecutive singles from Joe Gordon and Hamilton in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Up 4-0 with Post 137 on the ropes at the top of the seventh, Post 201’s

Though he’s interested in something in the athletic world, he says

defense closed the first game out with an early line out credited to Cheatham and a gamedeciding double play.

In the second half of the doubleheader, the bats were cracking early for Post 201, who finished with nine hits to win an offense-heavy 11-7 game.

Post 201 scored seven runs in a near instant after two innings, as they cleaned up defensively with three outs on three batters to start the game, then got a two-run RBI from Stone Talley on a grounder and an RBI single from Jalen Greenidge in the first inning.

In the second, three runners scored on a Boelt grounder, who reached third base after an error at third allowed Cheatham,

Smith and Jody Morris to score to make it a 6-0 game.

Immediately after, Talley was again behind a Post 201 run, singling on a ground ball to left field that scored Boelt in from third base.

Talley was a constant thorn in Post 137’s side, finishing the game with an incredible six RBIs and three hits.

Post 137 kept things relatively interesting with a three-run fourth inning to make it 8-3 entering the fifth, but a three-run RBI single from Talley was more than enough to help Post 201 keep its distance from its opponent.

Post 137 added two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings for an 11-7 score, but it wouldn’t

whatever the next phase of his life presents him, he’s ready for it.

With his last day on the job coming on June 30, he says he’s thankful for the abundance of legendary coaches who helped make his experience on the job a smooth one. Coaches like Marie Crump, Jim Woodson, Gregg Conner, Linda Farmer, Paulette Bowman and Bob Baltimore come to mind as just a few of the people he personally wants to thank for their positive impact on the Powhatan community.

He’s also thankful for Superintendent Dr. Eric Jones and his positive im-

pact and relationship with the school.

“The coaches I was able to work with were unbelievable,” he said.

“For one high school to have that much experience and have those coaches stay is phenomenal, and that made my job so much easier. Talk about steadying a program and building on it year after year and building on that continuity.”

Thanks to the efforts he’s given to helping build Powhatan athletics into what they are today, it’s safe to say that Llewellyn himself will be added to the list of celebrated figures in Powhatan sports.

be enough to fully close the gap created by Talley’s monster performance, as the door was officially shut after a Thomas Whitley strikeout and a game-ending pop out to Connor Smith to hold the result in Post 201’s favor. Whitley was one of four pitchers to make an appearance in the second game, with Hamilton leading the way with three innings pitched. He was the only one of the four to not allow a single hit.

Post 201 plays at home again on Wednesday, July 6.
