BOARD

plication.
Some of the comments from the opposing public revolved around the importance of keeping the current parcel in line with its residential and rural neighbors – although it also has a commercial neighbor – and stopping “commercial creep” up Page Road.
More comments revolved around transportation issues, including Page Road already being in bad condition and having dangerous shoulders; the greater need for a focus on public safety; the impact of traffi c already on Page Road from existing businesses; not having a good feed onto Anderson Highway from the rural collector road; and the danger of having the company’s four large trucks sharing – or not sharing, as many people argued – the road.
The one person who spoke in favor of the project said she had worked next to Stroud’s existing business for years without incident for her or others on the road and she felt his limited number of vehicles would have a minimal impact on Page Road. She also pointed out the buffers owner Kevin Stroud had proffered to install and said she trusted him to live up to his promises.
Kevin Stroud was given a chance to address the board about his case following the public hearing and was obviously upset by many of the comments, which he said were untrue and amounted to calling him “a piece of crap.” He talked about organized efforts to disrupt his family business.
Stroud staunchly defended the quality and consideration he would bring to the project, which would include an offi ce portion of the building that would be 1,600 square feet and a storage portion proposed at 8,000 square feet. He talked about the limited traffi c his employees would add to Page Road, usually only twice a day; the building façade and landscaping he was proffering to not be an eyesore to his neighbors; the right turn exit only from his parcel that he proffered and the subsequent short stretch from his driveway to Anderson Highway; being shut down for much of the winter and early spring months as a seasonal operation; and his previous history operating his business in Powhatan with the same kinds of trucks without incident.
While the traffi c impact did come up during board discussion, the fact that the property is so close to Anderson Highway and that Stroud proffered to install a right turn exit only from the parcel and dedicate right of way for any future road improvements seemed to go a long way in the supervisors’ considerations.
One major issue for the board was that Stroud’s parcel is designated on the 2021 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map as Rural Areas and Protected Lands. Stroud bought the property before the new plan was passed, when the 2019 Comprehensive Plan was still in place, at which point the property was designated on the map as Commerce Center.
Carmack insisted the fact that Stroud’s property was changed on the map was a mistake and that his property, which was already being considered in a case at the time, was never meant to be changed. She also argued the comprehensive plan is a “guide” and as such is not set in stone, which has been a point of disagreement among board members at times and continued to be as Cox argued it needs to be adhered to or it serves no purpose.
Williams pointed out if a mistake happened and wasn’t corrected, it is part of an ongoing problem regarding communication, both internal and with prospective businesses owners and developers.
Stroud had originally intended to do a large RV and boat storage business but, due to neighborhood concerns, has scaled back his project to be a contractor’s offi ce. The timeline of events was discussed in detail, especially what conversations Stroud may have had with staff and what intentions or advice may have been conveyed to him and how the public meetings and fi ling of Stroud’s fi rst and second rezoning attempts were handled.
Another aspect of the case discussed was the allowed uses under the rezoning application, which had been reduced signifi cantly but still had types of businesses listed that concerned Williams should Stroud ever decide to close his current business or sell the property.
After Williams raised a concern, Stroud offered to add an additional proffer that his fi nished buildings would be substantially similar to the conceptual plans in the board’s budget packet. The board then took the split vote.

Elementary schools shine at fall festivals
By Laura McFarland
Managing Editor
Gleeful and organized pandemonium is the best way to describe attending all three Powhatan County Public Schools’ elementary fall festivals.
It was a fi rst for me to attend any of the fall festivals, and being an overachiever, I decided to do all three, including two in one night.
Before going any further, I need to give a huge kudos to all of the three schools’ staff members and parent volunteers who made these events possible. The three schoolwide events were incredibly well organized and seemed to be a blast for children and even some younger and older siblings. There was a great deal of stimulation and sugar compressed into each event – too much to truly do justice here, really – but isn’t that what people love about these types of happenings?
The fun started on Oct. 20, when Pocahontas Elementary School had its Fall Festival with seemingly every corner of the building fi lled with decorations, games and treats. Children had the opportunity to snack on popcorn, candy apple bowls and ice cream and decorate cupcakes, cookies and rice crispy treats. There were games of every kind and prizes galore – even live fi sh, which I could see several parents carrying with a hilariously put-upon looks on their faces.
All of the people running the rooms – which embraced a variety of themes – were incredibly welcoming and excited for the kids, whether it was a glow party, a bean bag toss or picking up pieces of candy with chopsticks. The creativity was amazing, as I would see at all three schools. A special shout out to the room that let me play a round of skeeball during a lull in young visitors. I have not talent for the game, but it still brings back good memories.
Attending two fall festivals in one night would be tricky but not impossible, so I said “why not?” Flat Rock Elementary School’s Fall Festival began an hour earlier Oct. 27, so I started the evening there.
On a special note, as someone who does not have children or spend an inordinate amount of time in large groups of them save for special events like this, having a great deal of energy and noise coming at you all at once from hundreds of children can be a little overwhelming. So I appreciated especially how spread out Flat Rock’s festivities were, including utilizing the playground, which was hugely popular and surely helped work out some of the evening’s excess sugar, and the fi rst responders in the bus loop.
Back inside, whether it was the awesomely decorated class pumpkins, the games, taking the risk of putting your hand through a mysterious door with secret panels, spinning a prize wheel, bouncing in a giant bounce house or getting a balloon animal, there was an incredible amount of activities and decorations for the children to enjoy.
Rushing over to Powhatan Elementary School, I found more happy madness with a huge concentration of the Game Night focused in the combined cafeteria and gym. Just a few of the activities in that room included a football toss, bingo games, utilizing the rock climbing wall, a cupcake walk, a huge bounce house, and other games. My personal favorite to observe was a station where children ate doughnuts dangling from a string without the benefi t of using their hands, which was hilarious regardless of whether you knew the youngsters trying to chomp down on their wily moving targets. Outside of the gym were other activities such as a haunted house, glow party, more games and plenty of trick or treating.
One last observation. All three events were fundraisers for their respective schools, and aside from selling tickets/wristbands, the raffl e prizes put together by staff and volunteers were epic and another prime example of how hard the men and women of this community worked to pull off these massive endeavors.
To that point, I reiterate my kudos to all three schools. As far as covering events for our local community go, events like these are some of the more entertaining and highly likely to just leave you with a smile at the end of the day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Reader doesn’t agree with all but still chooses Good
Dear Editor,
As one of many new constituents in the 5th Congressional District, I admit that I didn’t know much about Bob Good’s stances or record as we approached the next election. Mr. Robert Kelly’s well-crafted opinion from the October 26th edition spurred me to do some research. I humbly offer a counter opinion. Personally, I need only read that Bob Good’s opponent is endorsed by Mark Warner, Tim Kaine and Abigail Spanberger to know in what box my mark will be struck. For the open-minded, here is some information pulled from offi cial congressional voting records and ratings agencies to consider.
Along with cosponsors to include patriots Paul Gosar, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Greene, Bob Good has introduced legislation such as the Empowering Parents Act and the Defending Student’s Civil Liberties Act. Both are crafted to help parents fi ght against racial discrimination in schools and protect children from the evils of Critical Race Theory. He sponsored the Close Biden’s Open Border bill to help stem a fl ood of dangerous narcotics and put an end to human traffi cking. He also introduced the One Citizen One Vote bill in an effort to make sure every valid vote, from every eligible voter, is accurately and fairly counted.
Good voted no to the Trump impeachment. He voted no to the Build Back Better plan. Consider the damage done to our economy from reckless government spending. He voted no to Pelosi’s Presidential Election Reform. Good voted yes for End Human Traffi cking legislation. He voted yes for Access to Baby Formula to remove restrictive tariffs and controls.
Bob Good is rated highly rated by the likes of Freedom Works, Gun Owners of America and the NRA, and the Susan B Anthony Pro-Life organization. He is very poorly rated by the ACLU, the NEA and Planned Parenthood. The latter two give him a whopping 0%. We should all be so recognized.
I do not agree with the entirety of his voting record. For instance, I believe we need to concentrate on problems here and not meddle in Ukrainian entanglements. But, I know that we are in desperate need of a massive red wave of newer leaders this cycle to help pull our country back from the brink of collapse. Bob Good is the clear choice. We need to remain a shiny beacon of hope to the world against the dark tide of Marxism and Progressivism. For me, and for Virginia’s remapped 5th district, I say Good is Best.

Hurt supports building a foundation for children
Dear Editor,
How can someone running as a “write in” candidate for an elected offi ce profess to be “a voice for all” and not expect to be compromised?
Does this mean Michael Edwards will be a voice for those who want transgender sports? Transgender bathroom facilities? CRT curriculum? Will Mr. Edwards be a voice for the boy who wants to enter the girls bathroom or a voice for the little girl who resents sharing the bathroom with a little boy? Where does it end? Abraham Lincoln had a quote which ended “you can never please all of the people all of the time.”
Mr. Edwards’ slogan concerns me because as a taxpayer I don’t support the aforementioned and I certainly don’t think he should be “my voice.”
Vicki Hurt believes in a good foundation for your child embracing the basic fundamentals for a good, sound education.
I fully intend to cast my vote on November 8 for Vicki and hope the citizens of District 1 will also maker her your choice.
Sincerely,
Maria Picchi Powhatan
Timeline shows reasons for firing county administrator
Dear Editor,
After reading a disparaging letter regarding the Board of Supervisors about Cox, Williams and McClung, I felt perhaps a timeline of the Smither-driven events might help people understand the cause and effect of the need to fi re County Administrator Ned Smither. March 2021- Mr. Smither’s proposal for an ERP system for effi cient, transparent and responsive services to our citizens to be used by the fi nancial arm of the county, by the Treasurer and by the Commissioner of Revenue. The vendor is known as Keystone. Keystone conversion and operation starts in fall of 2021. It has been a disaster from day 1! April 2021- Mr. Smither’s proposal of an assessor change moving in-house (from Commissioner of Revenue which cost $300,000 over 2 years and was biannual) to an annual assessment with an estimated cost between $780,000 spread over 2 years. March 22, 2022- Tax rate fi asco where Mr. Smither assured BOS that the tax increase did not require a public hearing. The rate was set at .79 with the usual Byerly, Carmack and McClung voting Yes and Cox and Williams No. March 31, 2022- Mr. Smither admits he was wrong and that the reassessment produced a + 0.4 tax increase. April 22, 2022 - The BOS voted 3-2 (Cox, McClung, Williams) to return the Assessor’s job back to the Commissioner of Revenue. Byerly and Carnmack voted No. May 2, 2022 - Mr. Smither admits the tax rate was advertised incorrectly. The hearing was rescheduled for May 18. May 18, 2022 - Mr. Smither was not supportive of the motion by Williams to allow the Commissioner of Revenue, the Treasurer and the County Administrator to reduce the Personal Property Bubble created by infl ation and supply system issues in the auto market. The motion was voted down by Byerly, Carmack and McClung. As a result of the infl ated vehicle prices the vehicle tax went through the roof for most taxpayers while the county reaped $2.5 million dollars off of the taxpayers. As a result of delays created by Smither the tax bills were not mailed until June 10 with penalty and interest not due until August 1. It was very confusing for mortgage companies as well as taxpayers. July 25, 2022 - Williams motioned to have Mr. Smither fi red over 32 unauthorized employee salary changes. It was defeated by Byerly, Carmack, McClung. Then Byerly made a motion to do the following with Mr. Smither’s contract: First, to eliminate the requirement of relocation. Second, to change the severance package to be paid as follows; fi ve votes (the package would be 6 months), four votes (7 months), three votes (8 months). Lastly, to change the salary of the County Administrator from $173,250 to $190,000. August 23, 2022- Powhatan County BOS adopted a motion instructing the HR Manager and the County Attorney to make specifi c assessments to the Pay Compensation Plan. The motion was passed unanimously. September 26, 2022- County Attorney, Mr. Tom Lacheney, reads his report, Integrity of Pay and Class Plan. The report confi rms 16 unauthorized actions taken by County Administrator, Mr. Smither which begin or end with the following words, “the BOS did not approve or none of the actions complied with the Plan or HR manual and were not approved by BOS.” Yet when a motion was made to fi re Mr. Smither, it was defeated by Byerly, Carmack, McClung and the County Attorney quit. Oct 11, 2022- McClung moved to ask for Mr. Smither’s resignation. Vote was 4 to 1. Williams voted No as a protest because he wanted Smither to be fi red with cause to prevent the enacting of that July 25 severance package. Smither received $136,342 as his

severance. Oct 24, 2022 - Although Mr. Smither is gone the effects of his tenure still haunt the taxpayers. It was motioned that we drop Keystone because it isn’t working for the taxpayers and our citizens. Do you think good sense would now prevail? You would be wrong because we are continuing with Keystone until December as if they can improve their services! And of course Byerly, Carmack, McClung voted to continue while Cox and Williams voted to drop it sooner than later. There are 1,571 credits (as in money) due Powhatan tax payers and good luck waiting for that! A Vehicle tax bill came to my house and it was wrong. So I called to see if I could get a corrected tax bill sent out so I could pay it. “No, I can’t because Keystone is backed up,” said the nice lady. She gave me a formula and helped me fi gure out my bill. It was to divide the tax bill by 6 and multiply by 2. And she hoped that was correct. I am going to overpay by a few dollars so as not to incur interest and penalties. Please Powhatan folks please do not blame the county employees who have to deal with this on a daily basis. It is not their fault. The fault belongs to the BOS who have supported and advanced Mr. Smither’s plans even when cautioned. November 2023 elections are coming. Remember it’s your government and your money!

Knights close out regular season with win
By Robby Fletcher
Sports Editor
In what would be the senior class’ fi nal regular season game on its home fi eld, the Knights went out in style with yet another display of high quality football as they fi nished off an impressive 2022-23 regular season.
The Knights (6-3) won their fi fth game by double digits when they hosted the Broadwater Academy Vikings (5-4) on Friday, Oct. 28 with a 44-12 fi nal. The Knights defeated the Vikings with a balanced diet of runs and passes from head coach Gary Brock’s offense, while the defensive line controlled the trenches, effectively shutting down the Vikings’ attempts at generating points and momentum.
Seven Knights were honored for senior night, with Justin Johnson, Jeb Hatfi eld, Jackson Hawkins, Tanner Wood, Kendrick Sheffi eld, Nathan Barras and David Mann earning recognition.
“They’ve made a tremendous impact on our program,” Brock said.
Though not every Knight has been a part of the program the entire time, Brock notes transfers like Wood and Sheffi eld as key parts of the senior class’ leadership ability, saying they embraced the culture and their respective roles seamlessly.
Guys like Barras, a two-year starter on the line,

Powhatan’s senior night gets spoiled by Midlo
By Tim Pearrell
Richmond Times-Dispatch
The Midlothian High football team won a playoff game for the fi rst time last season, part of an incremental trend of achieving new standards the past few years.
The Trojans have another step in mind this year.
“Thanksgiving practice,” Midlothian coach Matt Hutchings said.
That would put the Trojans in the Region 5C championship game. They continued to make headway on that goal on Friday night, using Ashby Berry’s 146 yards rushing and three touchdowns, plus four interceptions from the defense, to beat homestanding Powhatan 23-6.
No. 7 Midlothian accomplished a few more things in the process: It improved to 8-1, the fi rst time the program has had eight wins since 1986, and it broke a Powhatan hex.
With records through 1956, Midlothian has never won more than nine games (1965, 1975). Of its four playoff appearances, three have come since 2017. The Trojans lost in the fi rst round in 2017 and 2018, then got over the hump last year by beating Mills Godwin 42-13. They fell to Hermitage 24-14 in the region

Titans outlast a tough Indians team
By Robby Fletcher
Sports Editor
The Powhatan volleyball team closed out an eventful regular season with a tight contest against Dominion competition.
The Indians (13-7), ranked third in the district, took on the Cosby Titans (13-5), who are just ahead of them in the standings at the second spot. The home fi nale on Thursday, Oct. 27 saw the Titans take a 3-1 victory, though that score is no proper indication of just how close the two sides were in every set, matching each other point for point for the majority of the night.
The Indians opened up the game with a win in the fi rst set, taking that opening frame with a 2517 victory, but the Titans would come back strong to take the next three. The fi rst Titans win was a fl ipped result from the fi rst set, winning it 25-17, while the next two sets were true battles that went down to the wire. The third set took some extra time to fi nish, as the Titans were only able to get the two-point advantage necessary to win once they reached 27 points to the Indians’ 25.
In the fi nal set, the Indians again played hard and looked like a threat to win to extend the game to a fi fth tiebreaker set, the Titans were able to just get ahead at the end to take a 25-22 win that ended their regular season on a high note.
Leading the charge was a brilliant performance from freshman Mazie Harmon, who displayed advanced defensive expertise that helped keep Powhatan alive. Harmon’s 30 digs led the team, while her passing ability helped set up teammates in the score column.
Senior Sydney Wade, coming off an impressive 17-assist outing in her senior night, once again recorded a double-double with 30 assists and 10 digs. Senior Chesed Russell led the team in kills with 14, while senior Sam Flippo pitched in 11 kills and three blocks.

Huge congratulations to the Powhatan Middle School Lady Indians Volleyball Team as they have been named the 2022-2023 Southside Middle School Champions.
The girls headed into their tournament on Saturday, Oct. 22 in Mecklenburg.
They came in as the No. 1 seed and played against Lunenburg, defeating them in a 3-1 fi nish before beating Mecklenburg in fi ve sets to bring home the cup.
The Indians concluded their season with a 15-1 record.
Head coach Sean Bates says he liked the determination and resiliency he saw in the Lady Indians as it came down to set fi ve to bring the championship trophy home.
It was a win that was important to the team as it could have truly gone either way. The volleyball team worked hard against great competition and showed that team work and communication is what you need to be successful.

and Mann, one of the team’s most talented allaround athletes, have been part of the team’s winning culture headlined by last year’s state title and countless hours spent on the practice fi eld that have paved the way for the team’s on-fi eld success.
While it was a great night for all seniors, it was a particularly special night for Hatfi eld, who shattered last year’s record for most tackles in a season for a Knight with a fantastic defensive performance that generated praise from the coaching staff and his teammates.
The record was set by Harrison Lee at 67.5 tackles last year, while Hatfi eld left the fi eld with 73.5 with a potential for more in the postseason.
Against Broadwater, Hatfi eld was all over the fi eld, bringing in 11.5 tackles and two tackles for loss.
Hatfi eld, who has been with the program for fi ve years, has made a tremendous impact on the fi eld for the Knights and Brock says the praise he’s received has been wellearned.
“Jeb’s been a solid defender in pass defense, and he’s also been a clutch offensive threat and receiver,” Brock said.
Leading the offense was a do-it-all evening for junior Will Fichter, who was a true jack of all trades on the fi eld with highlights as a passer, runner and receiver.
The star Knight tossed a touchdown through the air and completed both his passes for 92 yards, caught another touchdown to fi nish with two receptions for 47 yards and rushed for a touchdown while picking up 112 yards on the ground on just fi ve carries.
While Fichter led the team in rushing yards, he wasn’t alone in the ground game barrage, being joined by running back Hunter Case and Afton Harrow with strong games of their own that had the Vikings crowding the box regardless of who was in the backfi eld.
The running triumvirate accounted for 233 total yards, while both Case and Harrow joined Fichter with touchdowns.
Harrow tossed fi ve passes in the win as well, completing four of them for 55 yards and a touchdown that went to Mann, who caught two passes for 92 yards.
The defense had just as many highlight plays coming from multiple players. Defensive coordinator Patrick Winterrowd aptly described the unit’s performance as “outstanding,” with the line swarming the pocket all night long.
The senior trio of Mann, Wood and Sheffi eld combined for 13 quarterback pressures, constantly fi nding themselves in the backfi eld.
Sheffi eld was named the team’s defensive player of the game for his performance, fi nishing the night with six tackles, a tackle for loss, a sack and a forced fumble.
When Case wasn’t picking up yards at running back, he was occupying a spot at linebacker and also making plays across the fi eld, fi nishing his night on the defensive end with 7.5 tackles and one tackle for loss.
Out of the secondary, Harrow stepped up with a six-tackle outing while breaking up two passes down the fi eld.
With the regular season in the books and the No. 2 seed entering the playoffs, the quest to defend their state title starts with an immediate rematch versus the Vikings, who will likely use their tape against the Knights to adjust and come in with an underdog’s mindset.
“I think it’s going to be a tougher ballgame. The familiarity of our teams is going to play a role in that,” Brock said. “I’m sure they’re going to tweak a few things or things that didn’t work. We’re going to be in the same boat, too.”
Though the lopsided score indicates the defending champion Knights as the clearcut favorite, the Vikings are capable of giving them a worthy fi ght to get to the next round. Before BSH dominated on their home fi eld, the Vikings were winners of four straight contests.
That playoff rematch will be on BSH’s home turf, and will kickoff at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 4.

semifi nals.
“[Getting to the championship game has] been the goal,” said Hutchings, whose team went into the weekend second in the region ratings behind Highland Springs. “It’s been a process of teaching how to win. … There’s been so many guys [20 seniors] who have learned how to do this over a period of four years. It’s been amazing.”
Hutchings said Powhatan has “had our number in really weird ways.” The Indians beat the Trojans 14-7 in 2018; 2-0 in 2019; 20-13 in the delayed COVID-19 season in 2021; and ruined a 5-0 start by Midlothian last season with a 42-7 victory.
“We talked about [last year] a little bit,” Berry said. “They came in on our senior night, and we all know how that went. Coming in on their senior night, we kind of wanted to get them back and do the same thing.”
What Berry does for the Trojans is multifaceted. As a linebacker, the 5-foot-9, 185-pound senior had several tackles and a sack Friday. As a running back, he got chunks of yardage after following blockers until spotting an open area.
Shifty in the open fi eld, he had carries Friday of 11, 34, 10, 12 and 21 yards. The 21-yard run came on second-and-20 from the Midlothian 4. He averaged 8.1 yards on 18 carries.
His ability to fi nd holes, he said, comes partly from being a fullback in youth league and learning to run hard on dive plays up the middle. Hutchings said Ashby’s athleticism as a state champion wrestler also helps.
“He knows how to use his body really well,” Hutchings said. “And he’s put on 15 pounds since last year, so he’s got that thickness to break tackles. If he can get 7 yards a carry, we’re making money.”
The Trojans have made bank off their defense this season. They have allowed more than 7 points once, that coming in a 31-30 double-overtime loss to Manchester.
Powhatan (6-3) hit some big pass plays and kept the ball away from Midlothian at times, but it wasn’t able to sustain drives. Quarterback Dylan Trevillian threw for 208 yards (17 of 33).
He was picked off by Zachary Wirt, Makhi Jackson, Conor Harrington and Ethan Shelor. Wirt’s interception, on the fi rst possession of the game, gave the Trojans the ball at the Indians’ 37 and led to Berry’s 1-yard TD run.
Trevillian’s 50-yard TD strike to freshman Ben Whitver (four catches, 113 yards) cut Midlothian’s lead to 13-6 1:39 before halftime. The Trojans responded by executing an NFL-style 2-minute drill, using short passes, runs and timeouts to travel 47 yards and get Avery Heleniak’s 35-yard fi eld goal as time expired.
“We work on that a lot in practice for that exact reason,” Berry said. “Scoring that fi eld goal at the end of the half and then coming out [on the fi rst drive] after halftime and putting a touchdown on the board, that was pretty much where we felt we were a good position for the rest of the game.”
Trevillian was one of 21 seniors honored at Powhatan’s senior night on their home fi eld. Though it wasn’t the result the Indians were looking for, they still hold a respectable 6-3 record with a season fi nale on the horizon against a Cosby Titans team that enters the matchup with a 4-5 record.

The Indians also took on L.C. Bird earlier in the week, which was a result that went in their favor in just three sets. That one featured set wins of 2511, 25-11 and 25-15.
The Indians saw Sophie Payne serve seven aces, Grace Hayden add three more aces and Avah Etheridge contribute four kills.
With an exciting regular season that featured more fi ve-set matches than Bryant has seen in a single season at Powhatan, the Indians can now look ahead to the upcoming Region 4B tournament.
Considering that the Indians boast a resilient, veteran group that’s been able to match up well with some of the best teams within both the district and the region, the Indians will pose a threat to win the tournament and set up a chance at a state tournament appearance in the process.

Contributed Report
In preparation for the 2022-23 fl u season, the Chesterfi eld Health District encourages everyone 6 months and older who lives, works or plays in Chesterfi eld County, Powhatan County, and the City of Colonial Heights to receive their annual infl uenza (fl u) vaccine.
“With the fl u season quickly approaching, please be sure to continue to do your part to protect yourself and loved ones,” said Chesterfi eld Health District Direct Alexander Samuel, MD, MPH.
Flu season, the period of highest infl uenza activity, normally begins in early October and ends in late May. While seasonal infl uenza outbreaks can happen as early as October, during most seasons, cases often peak in January or February.
A fl u vaccine is needed every season for two reasons. First, the body’s immune response from vaccination declines over time, so an annual vaccine is needed for optimal protection. Second, because fl u viruses are constantly changing, the formulation of the fl u vaccine is reviewed each year and updated to keep up with changing fl u viruses.
You should get the infl uenza vaccine as soon as it becomes available. However, as long as fl u viruses are circulating, it’s not too late to get your fl u vaccine.
Infl uenza, commonly called “the fl u,” is a serious disease caused by the infl uenza virus that affects the respiratory tract. It is highly contagious and generally spreads from person-toperson when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can be transmitted even before fl u-like symptoms appear. A person usually becomes sick one to three days following exposure to the virus. Typical fl u symptoms include fever, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headache, muscle aches and extreme fatigue. For the 2021-22 fl u season, Virginia spent 11 weeks at widespread. During that season, Virginia reported 4,977 infl uenza infections, 24 outbreaks, one infl uenza-associated pediatric death and 3,895 pneumonia, infl uenza and/or COVID-19 associated deaths.
To minimize your risk of contracting or transmitting the fl u, follow these simple steps: Get vaccinated; Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly, for at least 20 seconds; Cover your cough, either by using a disposable tissue or coughing into your sleeve, not your hand; and Stay at home when you are sick.
Visit www.vaccines. gov/fi nd-vaccines/ to fi nd a location near you to get the fl u vaccine. It is safe to get both the fl u and COVID-19 vaccine at the same time. For more information, call the Chesterfi eld Health Department at (804)-748-1691.
