Powhatan County Commissioner of the Revenue Jamie Timberlake was elected by his peers to lead the Commissioner of the Revenue Association of Virginia as the 84th president during the group’s 103rd annual Conference on Sept. 14 held in Blacksburg, Virginia.

The offi ce of the Commissioner of the Revenue evolved from the Commissioner of Tax, which was created by the Virginia General Assembly in 1782. The Commissioners of the Revenue Association of Virginia was formed in 1919 to support all Commissioners of the Revenue, Directors of Finance or any other offi cer who performs the duties of a Commissioner of the Revenue across the Commonwealth.

The motto of the Association is “Elected to Serve, Committed to Excellence.” The Commissioner of the Revenue is one of the fi ve remaining closest forms of government to the people that elect them in the United States.

In his induction speech, Timberlake challenged his peers to get out of their comfort zones. “Serve the people where they are because these are the places we grow and learn how to better serve our localities. We are the last local checks and balances system for the people who put us here. Serve them with a servant’s heart.”

Proclamation recognizes Fire Prevention Week

PHOTO BY LAURA McFARLAND

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently recognized the week of Oct. 9-15, 2022, as Fire Prevention Week throughout Powhatan County. Accepting the proclamation on behalf of Powhatan Fire and Rescue were chief Phil Warner, from left; Taylor Goodman, deputy fire chief; and Art Tate, assistant fire marshal.

Contributed Report

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors recently recognized the week of Oct. 9-15, 2022, as Fire Prevention Week throughout Powhatan County.

The board unanimously passed a proclamation at its meeting on Monday, Sept. 26 that highlighted the vital role Powhatan Fire and Rescue plays in keeping local residents safe.

According to the proclamation, fi re is a serious public safety issue both locally and nationally, and homes are the locations where people are at greater risk from fi re. Home fi res caused 2,265 civilian deaths in the United States in 2021, according to the United States Fire Administration, and fi re departments in the United States responded to 356,500 home fi res.

Smoke alarms sense smoke well before you can, alerting you to the danger; in the event of a fi re you may have as little as two minutes to escape safely. Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fi res in half.

Powhatan residents should be sure everyone in the home has a fi re escape plan and is prepared and will therefore be more likely to survive a fi re. Powhatan residents should make sure their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms meet the needs of all their family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.

Powhatan fi refi ghters are dedicated to reducing the occurrence of home fi res and fi re injuries through prevention and protection education. Powhatan residents that are responsive to public education measures are better able to take personal steps to increase their safety from fi re, especially in their homes.

The 2022 Fire Prevention Week theme, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape,” serves to remind Powhatan residents and visitors it is important to have a home fi re escape plan.

The board urged all people of Powhatan to plan and practice a home fi re escape for Fire Prevention Week 2022 as well as supporting the many public safety activities and efforts of the Powhatan Fire and Rescue Department, whose diligence and professionalism keep our county and citizens safe.

Powhatan County employee charged with distribution, possession of child pornography

By Laura McFarland

Managing Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan County employee was arrested and charged on Oct. 6 with one count of distribution of child pornography and two counts of possession of child pornography as the result of an ongoing investigation by the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Offi ce.

Detective Austin Schwartz confi rmed Friday, Oct. 7 that Stephen Russell Shaw, 56, of Powhatan is a Powhatan County employee in the Building and Inspections Department and a volunteer fi refi ghter.

A release from the county later that day announced that Shaw was immediately suspended without pay or benefi ts from county employment.

“The alleged actions of this member in no way represent the expectations of Powhatan County leadership or our volunteer fi re community. We hold our staff, volunteer and career members accountable for their actions, and will continue to provide professional, ethical service to our citizens and visitors,” according to the release.

Powhatan County Fire and Rescue Chief Phil Warner confi rmed Friday that Shaw is a member of Powhatan Volunteer Fire Department Fine Creek (Company 4). He also said Shaw was immediately suspended by the fi re company pending the investigation by law enforcement.

A release from fi re and rescue later Friday explained that Shaw “answered only three calls for service since January 1, 2020 and had very little contact with the public as a member of the fi re department.”

Shaw is an active member of the Central Virginia Wrestling Offi cials Association (CVWOA, Inc.), which provides offi cials for middle schools and high schools within the tri-cities area, according to Chris Giles, commissioner of the organization. He said Friday Shaw’s membership with the association will be under suspension pending the investigation of the charges.
