When compared with the five previous regular grand juries in 2017, the numbers were starkly different. The number of regular grand jury indictments was: 22 in October 2017, eight in August 2017, 21 in June 2017, 36 in April 2017, and 20 in February 2017, Cerullo said.

POWHATAN – Almost 50 years after the death of Martin Luther King Jr. and exactly 89 years after he was born, several hundred people are expected to come together in Powhatan County in a celebration of him and his legacy.

The seventh annual MLK Jr. Youth Community Breakfast will be held at 8 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 15 at Powhatan High School, 1800 Judes Ferry Road.

The breakfast is a morning of celebration in honor of the late Civil Rights leader, focusing on the talents and accomplishments of local youth working together to help bridge the gap to unify

the Powhatan community, said April Gray, co-chair.

“Most definitely it was in the back of my mind that it was 50 years,” she said. “This year we really want to make it a big celebration. The mere fact that it is at the high school and it is 50 years – there are a lot of things contributing to make this year a really great year.”

Breakfast is $10 for adults and $8 for youth 11 and under. The event will be catered this year, so organizers are asking people to reserve tickets in advance for a more accurate head count.

The annual breakfast, which is sponsored by Little Zion Baptist Church, will once again feature a disee MLK, pg. 5 }

POWHATAN – Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan recently held its annual meeting to highlight and reaffirm the mission of the local nonprofit’s role in the community and honor the men and women who make it possible.

Board members and supporters met on Dec. 7 at The Mill at Fine Creek for an evening focused on the accomplishments of 2017 and why they show how important Habitat is for the lives of local people in need.

One of the biggest announcements was that the local group was in negotiations with the county to lease the old Huguenot Fire Volunteer Fire Station on Urbine Road so it could open a small Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Joseph Hefferon, president of the nonprofit’s board, told the people present at the annual meeting and dinner.

ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used

furniture, appliances, home accessories, building materials and more to the public at a fraction of the retail price. ReStores are independently owned and operated by local Habitat for Humanity organizations and can be lucrative fundraisers for the local chapters.

Powhatan didn’t have the market to bear a full ReStore, but local leaders

believed it could support one operating part-time, Hefferon said.

“If it is one weekend a month, that is fine. If it turns if we need it open two or three – whatever the market bears as far as opening the store and taking in goods, that is what we will do,” he said.

Her family had stewarded the property for six generations dating to 1834, when Robert Beverley Randolph (1790-1839) purchased the land and the original brick farmhouse that he greatly enlarged into the building that stands today. It is a view that is mostly frozen in time and will remain so due to the permanent protections afforded under a conservation easement recorded with Capital Region Land Conservancy (CRLC) on Dec. 20, 2017.

As described in the nomination form listing

Historic 19th century Powhatan farm Norwood was recently protected by a conservation easement recorded with Capital Region Land Conservancy.

Norwood on the Virginia Landmarks Register in 1975 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, it forms “a memorable picture of rural antebellum gentility” and is one of the principal historic plantations of the Upper James region.

Today, the 145-acre property along Route 711 (Huguenot Trail) encompasses 112 acres of prime farmland, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs has designated Norwood as a “Century Farm” in honor of the same family residing and operating a farm there for at least 100 consecutive years.

The property also shares 1,500 feet of

shoreline on the south bank of the James River. This portion of the James River is potentially eligible for state Scenic River designation under the plans prepared by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. A 100-foot riparian buffer area on the property along the James River will help ensure that runoff is limited and water quality is improved in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The terms of the perpetual conservation easement also incorporate viewshed protection that will allow passersby on Route 711 to enjoy the tranquil setting of Norwood.

vestigation was spearheaded by Powhatan Animal Control officers with assistance from other deputies because of the scope of the case. The sheriff’s office is also a member of the Virginia Animal Fighting Task Force, a nonprofit aimed at stopping animal fighting and cruelty, and other members of the task force were contacted to assist in the investigation.

The animals were being raised at the property in Powhatan but not actually fought there, Searfoss said.

“We contacted the task force for assistance because it was such a large operation. Plus that is a statewide thing. They will connect those fighting cocks and that organization, the people associated with it, to other places in the state where they fight them or raise them or train them or sell them,” he said. “You need to have that task force online to connect those dots that are way outside of Powhatan.”

The two men charged did not live at the residential property where the chickens were being raised for cock fighting, so it took several months of investigation to build the case about who was caring for them and tracking their movements, Searfoss said.

“It culminated in a search warrant in October where we seized the animals and made the arrests shortly thereafter,” he said.

Hundreds of birds were seized and had to be euthanized, Searfoss said. The way fighting birds are raised, they can’t be used

Cora is survived by her four children, Charles Jr. (Loretta), Robert (Amy), Deborah Clarke (Aubrey), Jacqueline Gray; 10 grandchildren, 11 greatgrandchildren; one sister, Edna Johnson of North Chesterfield; three sisters-in-law, Octavia Lawson, Hattie Harris of Richmond and Geneva Henderson of Powhatan; a host of nieces, nephews and friends; and a devoted great-granddaughter, Paris Gray of Powhatan. Remains rested at Michael W. Hawkes Funeral Home, Rt. 360, Amelia. Funeral services were held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, December 27, 2017, at Second Antioch Baptist Church, Powhatan. Pastor Mark A. Divens Sr. officiated. Interment church cemetery.

RONALD LEWIS Ronald Otto Lewis, 78, a resident of Eagle Pointe at Cahoon Plantation in Chesapeake, formerly of Powhatan, died on Monday, December 25, 2017, in his home. Born in Madison, Wisconsin, he was the son of the late Frank W. Lewis and Margaret Haas Lewis. Along with his wife, Nancy, he was an active member of Great Bridge Baptist Church and Pairs & Spares Sunday School Class, with a sincere love for his church family and the Lord. He enjoyed traveling, cruising, and sharing vaLEWIS cations with his family and friends. There was also a special fondness for his five cats during their marriage. Ron enjoyed Golf and NASCAR as well. Ron was a friend to many and was always willing to help those in need and give guidance when asked by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He served his country in the Army National Guard from 1956 to 1962, and had a long career in the automobile mechanical and gasoline business. Ron served two terms as president of the Virginia Gasoline Marketers Council and retired as owner of Jahnke Road Auto Center in 2008.

Survivors include his wife of 30 years, Nancy Broyles Lewis, of Chesapeake; his two daughters, Crystal Harris and her husband, Bobby, of Richmond; Debbie Heaney

for any other purpose.

“Believe it or not, a fighting cock is an extremely dangerous animal. You can’t do anything with it but fight it really,” he said.

“They are not even good for eating from what I understand so they can’t even be harvested for food, primarily because ... they feed them a special food and they pump them full of drugs to make them larger.”

Raising animals for this purpose can be easily hidden because cages can be stacked up indoors in large buildings to help avoid detection, Searfoss said. He commended the investigation done by the Animal Control Division and many members of the sheriff’s office because of the training and hard work it took to recognize and then investigate the case.

Drug charges Also of note during the December term was that 38 of the indictments, or almost 36 percent, were related to the distribution or possession of some type of either prescription or illegal drug, according to a list of indictments released by the commonwealth’s attorney’s office.

The opioid epidemic that has been gaining increasing public awareness is a factor, with a number of the charges related to heroin or other opioids such as buprenorphine. However, there were also a number of other drug-related charges dealing with a wide range of substances, including marijuana, pentylone, amphetamines, clonazepam, lorazepam, cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, and zolpidem.

legacy and ensure its proper stewardship.”

KENNETH SEAL Kenneth Ray Seal, 75, of Powhatan, went to be with the Lord, on Wednesday, December 27, 2017. He is survived by his wife, Joann C. Seal; aunt, Iva Maye Purdy of Richmond; brother-in-law, Mark Caldwell; sister and brother-in-law, Deborah and Don Mitchell; beloved companion Ginny Jo; many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and beloved friends. The family received friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, December 29, 2017, at Powhatan Mennonite Church, 3540 Old SEAL Buckingham Road, Powhatan. Graveside services were held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, December 30, 2017, in the Powhatan Community Cemetery.

“Drug dealers will deal whatever they can get their hands on. You might have a drug dealer who is dealing heroin today.

There might be a buy from him and next week you make a buy from him and he says ‘I don’t have heroin but I do have X, Y or Z,’ ” Cerullo said. “Or they might even say this is heroin when really we send it off to the lab and it is not heroin, it’s Oxycontin or ephedrine or something like that. That is why you see so many different drugs, because that is everything that is floating around out there.”

Sheriff Brad Nunnally said his office is trying to be proactive in working toward limiting the impact of the opioid epidemic in Powhatan. A significant tool in that fight is the Amelia Powhatan Drug and Gang Task Force, which is a collaboration between the Powhatan and Amelia Sheriff’s offices and the Virginia State Police.

“The drugs aren’t originating in Powhatan; they are coming in from other places. By having the state police and some of our guys sworn in outside of the county, we can go to other counties and have law enforcement authority. It helps us to investigate these crimes,” Nunnally said.

In addition to the taskforce, several other factors may have also contributed to the high number of indictments in the last term of the year, Searfoss said. He pointed to the commonwealth’s attorney’s office now having a third full-time prosecutor to share the workload and a solid number of detectives and deputies investigating.

“You have more people involved in the justice system then you are going to end up with more crime being addressed,” he

cludes Norwood on the list of important places to safeguard. The plan designates the property in “rural preservation” and “natural conservation” areas.

“Norwood is a very special place and we appreciate CRLC’s work in helping the family preserve it,” said Powhatan county manager Ted Voorhees.

David Williams, District 1 supervisor, remembers “my great uncle worked at Norwood for the Kennon family for many years and owned land adjacent to the farm, so the property has particular meaning to me. I am certain it does for other county residents and delight in knowing it will be protected forever.”

CRLC’s easement includes specific provisions that apply to the manor house and other buildings, and the land trust will provide ongoing

said. “I think what we are seeing is an overall increase in focus in manpower and resources – just addressing crime more efficiently. Everything is kicking along on eight cylinders. It is working like it is supposed to work.”

Searfoss also pointed out that crime sometimes comes randomly and appears to happen in waves.

“There are times when you are going to have more of something and times when you are going to have less of something with no real explanation,” he said.

Both Nunnally and Cerullo also pointed out the importance of the sheriff’s office, commonwealth’s attorney’s office and clerk of the court’s office working together to accomplish the kind of workload involved with 106 indictments.

Teresa Hash Dobbins, clerk of the Powhatan Circuit Court, said the December regular grand jury represented a great deal of paperwork but added the criminal court clerks in her office did a “wonderful job with that because they have to make sure they are entered into the system, that they are presented properly to the grand jury. Then when they return a true bill, we have to issue the capiases for those. It definitely increases our workload.”

“It was a little overwhelming. I think before that the most we had was 58 in a term,” she said.

Other significant indictments were for charges related to Medicare fraud, aggravated sexual battery of a minor, grand larceny and driving under the influence second offense.

stewardship with annual monitoring visits. Harriss (and any subsequent owner) retains all rights of ownership except those expressly prohibited by the easement, primarily development and industrial or commercial uses.

Assisting the landowner in drafting the conservation easement were CRLC Land Conservation manager Jane Myers and Taylor Cole from Conservation Partners.

Speaking about Myers, “she had answers to my questions and was diligent in keeping this project on track,” said Harriss.

“I am grateful for her good work.”

“Norwood is a great example of bringing together many facets of CRLC’s mission into a single project by conserving and protecting both natural and historic land and water resources for the benefit of current and future generations,” said

Parker C. Agelasto, executive director for the Capital Region Land Conservancy. “CRLC is honored to be part of the history of this property and serve as an additional steward.”

CRLC seeks to conserve and protect the natural and historic land and water resources of Virginia’s Capital Region for the benefit of current and future generations. CRLC is the only non-profit organization devoted specifically to the conservation of land within the capital region serving the City of Richmond and the Counties of Chesterfield, Henrico, Hanover, Goochland, Powhatan, New Kent, and Charles City.

CRLC educates landowners about voluntary land protection tools, facilitates the process of donating conservation easements, and co-holds conservation easements with other conservation organizations.

they settled on the vacant fire station, which has a roof that needs work but has a sound building, he said. Renovating the building so it could house a small ReStore as well as the local Habitat office would cost about $38,000, and organizers are looking for donors to help with this amount.

Tim Bowring, executive director, confirmed last week that since the meeting, a five-year lease has been signed with the county to use the building. Habitat will pay $1 a year to lease the building. His office will move to the new building, although a timeline hasn’t been set yet since the lease was just signed.

During the meeting, Bowring also talked about another initiative the local Habitat is using, the Neighborhood Stabi-

Also during the meeting, the nonprofit recognized several people who have made great contributions to the community through Habitat.

Hefferon awarded the organization’s first two Golden Hammer Awards to Dan Niccolucci and Joseph Romeo for their work with the Critical Repair Program with the local Habitat.

Niccolucci was honored for his work in doing critical repairs for homeowners who are elderly, single parents or others and are living in unsafe conditions.

As part of an earlier presentation about Habitat’s activities in the past year, Niccolucci had already talked about what it is like to visit some of the Powhatan residents requesting help to evaluate their situations.

lization Program, which was focused on stabilizing communities that have suffered from foreclosures and abandonment but now has funds becoming available in rural areas. The program focuses on the purchase and redevelopment of foreclosed and abandoned homes and residential properties. Using this program would help a Habitat candidate get a higher quality house at a much lower mortgage.

“The money is probably going to run out in 2019 so we are looking hard for a family to do this with and looking hard for a house to buy,” Bowring said.

Awards During the meeting, Bowring told those present how Habitat for HumanityPowhatan recently received two awards from Habitat for Humanity Virginia. The first was for most families served through critical home repair between 2015 and 2017 in a service area under 50,000 population. The local group was also recognized for tithing as a ratio to service area population to the national and internation-

Many of these people are elderly and use crutches or walkers,” he said. “All of these people are so humble and so appreciative and so welcoming to me when I first meet them that it is very hard to not say yes.”

Since Niccolucci became involved with Habitat in October 2016, he said he and Hefferon have worked on 25 individual projects.

“Nothing has touched my heart and soul as much as what I have been doing for Habitat for the last 15 months,” he said.

Romeo, whom Hefferon called his “sidekick,” was honored for his hard work on projects and always being willing to step up and help when asked.

“He was with me so many times. I can always count on him. He is on the board and devoted to our cause,” Hefferon said.

The breakfast, which drew about 350 people in 2017, has been increasing each year as it gained more and more support, said Shirley Goins, co-chair. Making the move from Powhatan United Methodist Church to the new location at the high school was partly driven by the need for more space but also because of the increasing role of the school district in the program.

Students participating in the fundraiser collected more than $34,260, 236 backpacks and care packages full of hygiene and beauty products, toys and supplies for the teenagers of Fostering Hope in Conway.

The funds and supplies were the culmination of a semester-long service project where students worked in teams of four to eight to raise money, show creativity and bring in high quality supplies. The top teams received an award at the wrap-up event.

or an outing that was supposed to be about handing out Christmas cheer, a surprising portion of it was spent learning about Powhatan’s history and illegal whiskey.

Let’s rewind a bit. On Friday, Dec. 15, I once again was in a vehicle with Elwood Yates and Roy Harrison as they drove around Powhatan delivering presents for the Powhatan Christmas Mother program. I joined them last year on the spur of the moment and so enjoyed myself that this year’s ridealong was planned in advance.

About 40 volunteers met on that morning at May Memorial Baptist Church to deliver the last of the presents that hadn’t already been picked up.

After sharing a breakfast provided for them, the volunteers loaded up their vehicles and drove off in pairs of two, usually with presents for two or three households to be delivered.

Elwood, who is native to Powhatan, has been participating in these deliveries so long he can’t remember when he started, although some estimates put it at five decades. Roy (a relative newcomer who moved to Powhatan in 1974) hasn’t been delivering presents with Elwood nearly as long but it is long enough that, again, both men are fuzzy on the start date.

“You just do it and look forward to it every year and are just thankful you can do it,” Elwood said before we started.

After putting the first address in the GPS, we were off, heading out on Old Buckingham Road nearly to the Cumberland line. It gave us plenty of time to talk and spend a good deal of time listening to Elwood, who is a fount of information about Powhatan.

While on Old Buckingham Road, he indicates when we were passing a drive leading to a place where he has been hunting for 60 years. He talked about Belona Beach, a part of a turn in the Appomattox River with a nice sandy spot to sit and enjoy a day.

I’m always hesitant to compose year-end wrap-up stories for fear of forgetting something important that happened in the last 12 months. And that peril is more magnetized when you begin considering a list of important people who have passed in the last year.

I never read one of those memoriam articles without being surprised by at least one of the entries, and it is always with a sense of melancholy to consider the great names who left us as the year closes.

As one gets older, the list includes the names of great icons of a generation, people who shaped and symbolized the era of a group we now call baby boomers, a name that does not aptly describe their current status.

It’s a list that continues to mount through time and memoriam, a tally that reminds us all that life is fleeting, and all of us face the same inevitable end. It’s a dose of reality that causes me

the same way he came, so we turned on Ballsville Road to get back to Anderson Highway. And, just like that, illegal whiskey was back.

“Back in the day when they carried illegal whiskey, it was dangerous if it got to be daylight because the law might catch you,” Elwood said. So they would hide it in the forest and come back for it.

Only they didn’t always find everything they buried.

This led to an amusing story talking about Elwood’s time in the Air Force Reserves when he was stationed at the Pentagon for many years and would bring people out to Powhatan to hunt. One day, they were dragging a deer back and found a box of illegal whiskey in Mason jars that must have been hidden in the forest for years. Good times were had by all. Elwood might have even been promoted after that.

“Half the people up here made illegal whiskey,” he said and later pointed out that “Back in those days nobody looked down on somebody trying to make a living making illegal whiskey. That was just a way of life.”

Then he and Roy proceeded into a detailed discussion about how the makers of said illegal whiskey would transport it in their vehicles. I will admit, my lone contribution to that portion of the conversation was mentioning an episode of “The Dukes of Hazzard” dealing with cars and moonshine.

As we passed the Macon District Volunteer Fire Department on Old Buckingham Road, Elwood talked about the department and its rich history, including all of the hard work the volunteers put into starting it.

At another point, the two men noted the mistletoe they saw growing in other-

to pause and consider the certainly of the eternal circle, and how it begins and continues for all of us.

Last year will be remembered for many things, but the passing of three icons whose lives vividly provided a backdrop for the lives many of us remember stand out in my yearend recollection.

I first remember seeing Don Rickles on The Johnny Carson Show on a television that flickered a black and white image that seems antique compared with today’s high definition productions.

On first impression, Rickles seemed to enjoy a unique sense of freedom that allowed him to query the most uncomfortable of human experiences . . . and dig a needle deep into that very core.

Rickles represented a disrespectful, irreverent side of human nature that, up until he took the stage, had seldom been explored. Insult humor became a regular item on the menu of American culture, and no one did it better than Don Rickles.

When I asked Elwood how long his family has been in Powhatan, he shared another story. It seems in the 1920s, Elwood Floyd Yates, his father, went from being a storekeeper to opening a Ford dealership in Mineral. However, he found it difficult to sell the cars in winter because the Model Ts couldn’t handle the bad roads. He gave up that dealership but was later offered a chance to open another one in Farmville.

Only when he was on the way to Farmville, he stopped in Powhatan at Maxey’s Store (currently the Four Seasons Restaurant) and bought a Coca-Cola in the bottle. He was told by William E. Maxey that he could either drink it there or pay a deposit to take the bottle with him. He stayed to drink it and the two men started talking.

When Mr. Maxey found out that Mr. Yates was heading to Farmville to open a Ford dealership, he suggested he stay in Powhatan instead. He then went and got Winfrey “Pinky” Parker at the Bank of Powhatan and the two men talked Mr. Yates into opening a dealership here.

That was 1927. Elwood was born two years later.

There were more stories, such as Mr. Yates offering to put an electric pump on the hand pump well on the courthouse lawn (which is still there today) if he could have access to it and running the well dry with the first car he washed.

Roy also shared a little about himself, talking about his career and “how good a decision it was to raise a family in Powhatan.” He and his wife raised three daughters in the county, two of whom still live here. He said his second daughter was born two weeks after they moved to Powhatan.

Before you know it, the three senior citizens receiving presents had been visited and we were back at May Memorial.

Elwood and Roy shook hands and exchanged a hearty “Merry Christmas.”

“Until next year,” Roy said to his friend and fellow Christmas Mother helper as they parted ways.

Who else could point to an aging member of his devoted audience and exclaim, “I contacted the home. You’re going back.”

Even through the abrasive exterior, it was clear that Rickles’ heart was indeed more compassionate and loving than his humor might indicate. Through the years, the biggest of stars found some kind of honor at being the brunt of one of Rickles’ viscous attacks.

There’s enough hate and ridicule in this world to last a generation, but the man who lived by the insult, offered a kinder side to the art of confrontation.

And losing him is almost akin to losing a good friend, just one of the great men and women who exited in 2017.

I was never a Glen Campbell fan, but no one from my generation can dispute his influence on the world that surrounded us.

Campbell was an accomplished guitarist and homespun vocalist whose songs touched a note in the hearts of the people who listened.

When I hear the beginning chords of

“Gentle on My Mind,” it still brings goose bumps and a tingling in my spine, but it was just one of the songs that made Campbell an everyday part of our lives.

The Rhinestone Cowboy made an indelible mark on American music, but his real impact may have come late in life when he exposed America to a disease all had heard of, but few had seen close up.

Campbell’s documentary, “I’ll be Me,” gave us a glimpse of what Alzheimer’s disease does to a man, his family and the millions of fans who remain dedicated.

Through the eyes of the camera, Campbell showed us that the most dire circumstances also have a bright side, as we marveled at a man who could no longer remember vital facts regarding his own life, but never lost the ability to remember intricate notes on a guitar neck.

Campbell lost his battle with that cruel disease in 2017, but none of us see 2017, pg. 7 }

For most of my life, I could not stand to even hear the voice of a star that many considered Hollywood box office gold. I found the humor of Jerry Lewis too basic and obvious for my tastes, and the high-pitched screams seemed more irritating than funny.

The only time I actually watched Lewis was during his annual telethon that raised money and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, an organization that sits at the forefront of research and treatment of the chronic disease.

Even then, I watched the marathon telecast to catch of glimpse of some other performer, always tuning out when Lewis offered up some of his commentary.

Lewis’ telethon ended about the same time my son was diagnosed

St. John Neumann Catholic Church, in partnership with the Powhatan Community Action Agency, is currently

with MD, and I immediately changed my opinion of the famous comedian and actor.

Honestly, I still didn’t care for his humor, or his movies, but I was so impressed by his commitment to help this group of children that I became a Jerry Lewis fan, of sorts.

Lewis spent decades of his life committed to a group of affected children who eventually became known as “Jerry’s Kids.” With failing health and personal struggles of his own mounting in his later years, his compassion and tenacity never wavered regarding a cause that was so close to his heart.

My son is one of Jerry’s Kids, and I’ll remain always thankful and dedicated for his role in providing hope and the possibility of an eventual cure for a disease that has become so important in the life of my family.

Powhatan’s girls basketball team won the Douglas Freeman Holiday Basketball Tournament after a dramatic come-from-behind win over Manchester on Dec. 28. Kelsey Mawyer (40) hit the game-tying 3-point shot, with the Indians securing the win at the free throw line in overtime.

Powhatan’s Kelsey Mawyer inbounded the ball with 5.4 seconds remaining in the championship game of the Douglas Freeman Holiday Basketball Tournament on Dec. 28 as the Indians trailed Manchester by three points.

Mawyer sent it off to teammate Kylee Maiolo, who looked for a player with an

open shot.

She sent it right back to Mawyer, who was stationed several feet beyond the 3-point arc.

Mawyer let the ball fly as the clock was under one second left in the game.

Swish.

“It was incredible,” Mawyer said.

The Indians celebrated as the buzzer sounded and sent the game to overtime.

Powhatan would defeat the Lancers 50-

48 in the extra frame and take home the title at Freeman.

“They believed that could do it,” head coach Kristi Henderson said. “That was the greatest thing for Kelsey Mawyer.

She needed that so badly. She’s such a good basketball player. For her to take that last-second shot and for it to go in was awesome.”

Manchester led for much of the first three quarters of the game as the Indians

defense had problems defending against the Lancers’ perimeter-focused offense.

The Lancers sank six 3-point shots in the first three quarters.

“The first half just wasn’t a good half for us,” Henderson said. “Defensively, it just wasn’t us. We’ve had to make some adjustments because of some of our setbacks. The girls stepped it up after halftime. We got back to playing good desee INDIANS, pg. 3B}

Powhatan’s Linwood Hill had a strong match against Kellam at the Hawk Duals on Dec. 30. Hill, a freshman, recorded a pin.

Powhatan’s wrestling team ended their 2017 calendar year at the Hawks Duals at Hanover High School on Dec. 30.

The Indians went up against some top competition from around the state and finished third in the championship division, the team’s highest finish ever at the Hawk Duals.

“Overall, we had to make up for some holes, but I felt pretty good about the individual performances,” coach Jonathan Tanaka said. “Taking third in that field, I was really happy about that.”

The Indians were 3-2 on the day, only falling to longtime powerhouse Kellam and in a close match with William Fleming.

“Kellam is a tough team out of Virginia Beach and they took it to us pretty well,” Tanaka said. “We were very competitive in our other loss to William Fleming. That’s a match we should win, so we’ll make our adjustments from there.”

Powhatan defeated Smithfield, Henrico and Hickory.

Against the Knights, Powhatan had a few close matches and a couple wins, including Linwood Hill pinning his opponent.

The freshman has been coming along for the Indians this season.

“He’s still going through the rigors of his first varsity season,” Tanaka said.

“He’s handling it really well. He’s starting to really learn to trust his coaches and you can see it paying off. He has his ups and downs and his weight class see WRESTLE, pg. 2B}

Powhatan drops two close games at Freeman

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s boys basketball team battled throughout the Douglas Freeman basketball tournament on Dec. 27 and 28 against two tough teams.

But, the Indians fell in both games by a combined total of just five points.

First, on Dec. 27, the Indians faced off against Region 4B foe Hanover, a team that Powhatan had defeated earlier in the season.

Hanover sank a 3-point shot with 40 seconds left to lift the Hawks over the Indians 66-64.

“I thought we lacked some toughness down the stretch,” coach Steve Washburn said. “I thought we gave away some possessions late and it’s something we have to learn from. One of things with having a younger back court is sometimes they’ll make those mistakes. We’ll learn from them and hopefully won’t make those mistakes again. We’ve been in close games before, but they’ve been at home.

Sometimes on the road like this you have to learn from this to get better.

The two teams traded the lead 13

is filled with juniors and seniors. He’s a good little wrestler.”

Wins by pin were a common occurrence between the Indians and Knights, with Kellam flipping the script on wrestlers such as Colby Cheatham and Sam Tomlinson, who had strong openings but were unable to finish against their opponents.

JD McMillin also scored a pin for the Indians in his match against Kellam.

While Smithfield and Hanover were the only Class 4 teams in the field, getting experience against teams like Kellam and William Fleming can only be a benefit for the Indians wrestlers as they look forward toward 2018 and the postseason.

“We got to wrestle Smithfield, which is always a luxury since we don’t get to wrestle them

times through the entire first quarter and the early second quarter until the Indians went on a 14-0 run to gap the Hawks in the middle of the second quarter.

Jaylen Hempfield sank two 3-point shots during that run and was a big part of the Indians offense in the game.

He led the Indians with 20 points.

Austin Washburn sank a 3-pointer right before the halftime buzzer to make it a 45-32 lead for the Indians at halftime.

While Powhatan largely dominated the first half, the second half was a different story.

While the Indians maintained their offense, Hanover’s offense was coming alive.

Two separate five-point runs shrank the Powhatan lead and gave the Hawks momentum going into the pivotal fourth quarter.

The Indians opened on a 5-0 up, with buckets from Joseph Santiago and Henry Atkins, along with a free throw from Atkins, but then the Hawks took over.

A 13-2 Hanover run all but eliminated the Powhatan lead with 1:18 left in the game.

Washburn sank both of his free throws

much,” Tanaka said.

“Smithfield is a team who we’re always neck and neck with them.

We’re always right behind them. It’s good to come out on top with a win over them.”

Powhatan utilized the first week of winter break as valuable healing time, as several of the Indians were dealing with injuries or illnesses.

Tomlinson was one Indians wrestler who was still battling an illness at the Hawk Duals, but Tanaka praised his ability to wrestle despite not feeling his best.

“The first week of winter break was great for us,” Tanaka said.

“Coming out of break, we’re feeling really good. Everyone is back to full health, or as good as they’re going to be for a while. Sam Tomlinson was really sick, but he gutted it out yesterday, I was happy with his performance. He got caught up in that Kellam match,

but got some big wins for us, especially in the Smithfield dual. Overall, just stepping up and being a senior and a leader when he’s not anywhere close to full health.”

Tanaka said that his team being able to rest up and have the time to lift weights, for example, was a big deal for his team.

“We’ve had some down time to just relax and lift some weights,” he said. “Not necessarily wrestle as much to kind of give our bodies a break. We have a lot of new kids on the team this year and it’s been cool to see the varsity and JV kids get to know each other better and continue to build the program.”

While the high finish against in the Hawk Duals was a sign of the team’s strengths this season, Tanaka would still like to see some improvements as the calendar turns to the new year.

in the one-and-one for Powhatan to give the Indians a three-point cushion with 1:03 left.

But, Hanover sank back-to-back shots, including a 3-point shot with 40 seconds remaining to give the Hawks its first lead since early in the second quarter.

“We got a little too relaxed,” Washburn said. “I thought our attention to detail slipped a little bit. There were a lot of second-chance points and 50-50 balls we didn’t come up with that we needed to come up with in order to win.”

Deven Van Natter had a chance with 20 seconds left beyond the arc, but was off target.

Hanover went to the line with 13.4 seconds remaining, but missed the free throw to give Powhatan one final chance.

Van Natter was the shooter as he drove in the lane for a layup, but the ball rimmed out and Hanover rebounded to end the game.

Washburn said that he hopes that the game is a learning experience for his squad.

“I think anytime you lose a close game like this, you hope that they don’t dwell on it,” he said. “You hope that they learn

from the opportunities that we had. We played a solid first half and we relaxed a little too much in the second half and let some possessions get away. Hopefully they’ll learn from it and not let it defeat them.”

The Indians took on Patrick Henry on Dec. 28, but fell to the Patriots 65-62.

But, it wasn’t for lack of a fourth-quarter surge.

Van Natter led the team with 22 points, sinking three 3-point shots in the fourth quarter and 11 points in the third.

The Indians scored 24 points in the fourth quarter, trying to trim into the Patriots game-long lead and did take the lead briefly.

But, Devyn Coles scored 12 of his 18 points for Patrick Henry in the fourth quarter. Patrick Henry was just able to run out the clock on Powhatan and didn’t give the Indians a chance at a potential game-tying or winning shot.

Austin Washburn added 16 points for Powhatan.

Powhatan’s Sam Tomlinson had a tough match against Kellam, but was able to grind out big wins at the Hawk Duals, despite being sick.

McMillin striving for top honors this season

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s J.D. McMillin follows the same routine as many of his Indians wrestling teammates.

He listens to music, gets into his own zone and gets ready to grapple on the mat.

But, prior to him standing across from his opponent, he has one final step that his other teammates don’t have to worry about.

McMillin takes his Cochlear Implant off and hands it to one of his coaches or teammates to hang on to until he is done on the mat.

The Cochlear Implant is an electronic device that is surgically implanted behind a deaf person’s ear and gives the person a “representation of sounds in the environment and helps to understand speech,” according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD).

The implant is a complex device, consisting of a microphone, a speech processor, a transmitter and receiver as well as an electrode array.

Unlike a hearing aid, the implant goes directly into the auditory nerve, which feeds information directly to a person’s brain, which it understands as sound.

But, the Indians started rolling late in the third quarter.

Powhatan went on an 8-0 run, fueled by two 3-point shots by Mawyer, which cut the Lancers lead to one point.

The Indians only had one 3-point shot in the first quarter, but in the second half, Powhatan hit five from beyond the arc.

Maiolo sank back-toback shots to give the Indians its first lead since early in the first quarter.

Manchester attempted a near mid-court shot at the buzzer of the third quarter and the Indians were called for a late foul.

The Lancers hit one of the three shots to tie the game at 34.

In the fourth, Powhatan’s Charlotte Kramer and Sophie Jaconski each hit two free throws to give Powhatan a two-point lead.

Manchester then went on a 6-0 run to go up by four.

Reese Vandell then hit a 3-point shot to trim the lead to one point.

The teams exchanged free throws, followed by Maggie Salomonsky sinking a layup to tie the game at 44.

Manchester was in the double bonus when the Lancers were sent to the line two times in a row, but only hit two of the four combined attempts.

McMillin was born deaf and said his parents discovered it when he was around 10 months old.

He had the Cochlear Implant surgery and said it was something that took a while to get used to.

“It took me about six months to a year or a yearand-a-half to really get adjusted to hearing,” he said.

“Ever since then, I’ve been great.”

McMillin has been wrestling since he was in fourth or fifth grade and was introduced to the sport

by Mike Walter.

“Mike and one of my best friends, Jack Leipertz, got me into it,” he said.

“Mike was the one who hooked me onto wrestling.”

When McMillin takes off his implant prior to his match, he loses his ability to hear.

He said he doesn’t view it as a disadvantage that he can’t hear on the mat.

He believes it is the opposite.

“I’m completely deaf on the mat,” he said. “It’s different. It helps me focus a lot. Some people see it as a disability. I don’t. I see it as it helps me focus and I don’t have to listen to anybody or anything else.”

“He doesn’t use it as a disability and we don’t see

44 prior to Mawyer’s heroics.

“We had four 3-point shooters at the time,” Henderson said of the final play of regulation.

“We just ran the play where we spread it out and Kylee did a great job of creating opportunities.

Not every team remembers the inbounder. It was a deep three too.”

Henderson said that she was confident in her team’s resiliency.

“I’m confident and they are confident as well,” she said. “That’s a great combination to have.”

In overtime, Kramer sank a free throw to give the Indians a one-point lead.

Manchester continued to struggle from the free throw line and the field in general, only making one of four free throws in the overtime period, with several missed shots as well.

The Lancers turned the ball over on each of its first three possessions in overtime.

As the Indians entered the double bonus, Mawyer hit one of her two free throws to make it 49-47 Powhatan.

Manchester made its one free throw of the overtime with 10.4 seconds remaining to make it 4948 after an error on the Indians as they had possession and the ability to run the clock out, but turned it over.

Salomonsky hit one of her two free throws on the Indians next possession to make it 50-48. She led the team with 16 points, followed by Mawyer’s 14 points.

Powhatan’s J.D. McMillin works to pin his opponent against Kellam High School at the Hanover Hawk Duals on Dec. 30. McMillin would win by pin in the match against the Knights.

it as a disability,” Indians coach Jonathan Tanaka said.

That focus has boosted McMillin to a successful season thus far with the Indians.

At the Hawk Duals on Dec. 30, McMillin secured a pin in his matchup against one of the premier teams from the Virginia Beach area in Kellam.

“I’m doing pretty good so far,” he said. “It’s the first competition in a couple weeks. I feel like I’m doing things well and everything is going pretty smoothly. I’ve been wrestling really well.”

McMillin went 2-2 at

Powhatan didn’t attempt a free throw until the fourth quarter, but the Indians made their chances count, going 8-for-13 from the line.

Manchester missed its final shot to give the win to Powhatan.

“We made a few mental mistakes there,” Henderson said of overtime.

“They made the mistake, but they stayed positive.

We knew what we had to do to keep it going. We knocked down some free throws, Charlotte did a great job there.”

The Indians opened the tournament on Dec. 27 with a 42-33 win over Douglas Freeman.

Against the Rebels, Powhatan took the lead early on and didn’t look back.

Vandell stared a 10-0 run that ran from the end of the second quarter to the start of the third, which gave Powhatan a 20-point lead that the Rebels wouldn’t recover from.

Salomonsky led the team with 12 points against Douglas Freeman.

Powhatan, now 7-1, returns to play on Jan. 3 in its first home game of the season against Clover Hill.

Henderson said that her team will benefit from its first game in its own gym.

“That’ll be nice to be on our home court,” she said. “We’re working hard and the players are believing.”

After traveling to Charlottesville on Jan. 5, the Indians will play games in a row at home.

the prestigious Beasts of the East wrestling tournament in Delaware on Dec. 15-16.

He had a strong showing at the Glen Allen Invitational on Dec. 1-2, falling in the semifinals.

Tanaka said that McMillin is an athlete “who just loves wrestling.”

“He’s a funny kid and easy to get along with,” he said. “He’s a worker. He’s always working out, always trying to get better.

Sometimes he goes out to Hanover to train. He travles to New York with Coach Olsen. He’s a kid who loves wrestling and finds different competi-

tion and get better. He’s had some good role models in front of him...Collin, Sam, Jeffrey, Elijah Jordan, John Reid...kids like that who he could learn from.”

Tanaka said that while McMillin hasn’t needed to be a leader in his first two seasons, he has stepped up in that role in his junior year.

“You’re seeing him grow into more of a leader,” he siad. “You’re seeing him be more vocal and be a kid who is taking kids with him to train and get better. He looks phenomenal this year.”

Last season, McMillin

was a Conference 20 champion and was the runner-up in the 106-pound weight class in the Region 4A East tournament.

“Most of the time, I don’t focus on rankings or how good this person supposedly is,” McMillin said of his mindset prematch. “I just get out there and wrestle my match.”

This season, McMillin said he has his goals set high.

“I’m really excited for the rest of the season,” he said. “I’m hoping, individually, to win states.

I’m hoping my team is top two at states.”
