Fire station has a rich history

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A neighborhood meeting to talk about plans to renovate the original Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department building into a resale shop for Habitat for Humanity Powhatan turned into more of a walk down

Memory Lane last week.

A handful of people attended the informal meeting held Monday, Jan. 29 led by Joe Hefferon, president of Habitat for Humanity Powhatan. He answered questions about the organization’s plans for the building, which see HABITAT, pg. 4 }

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors continued its review of the Powhatan County 2017 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan last week, touching on issues involving the county’s economic development and infrastructure.

The board held its second workshop specifically about reviewing the comprehensive plan on Tuesday, Jan. 3. The document, which the planning commission presented to the board last fall, is an update to the county’s previously-adopted plan from 2010.

Last week’s meeting focused on two meaty chapters in the plan – Chapter 4, Economic Development, and Chapter 6, Infrastructure and Facilities.

With each chapter, Bret Schardein, who was recently promoted to assistant county administrator, introduced the chapters and what had been updated or changed in the new revision of the plan before the board members asked questions or held discussion on certain points.

The comprehensive plan document can be downloaded on the county’s website at www.powhatanva.com/documentcenter/ view/3147.

Economic Development Some of the changes Schardein initially laid out for the board for the chapter on economic development were that it contained updated statistics and employment figures, implemented many of the goals and visions of the 2016 Economic Development Strategic Plan the county prepared, and removed an objective regarding utilizing the Norfolk Southern Railway access in the Moseley area, which was investigated and found unfeasible for economic development.

The board took its time reviewing the six objectives for economic development and the various strategies to implement them. The six objectives in this section are: Implement the 2016 Economic Development Strategic Plan.

By Laura McFarland News Editor

“I didn’t have any idea that this was going to take place this evening so I was really surprised,” said Potter, a local developer and resident of Powhatan since 1980.

When she started coming more than five years ago to the neighborhood gathering place for seniors, her intention was to help get her motherin-law, Florence Harper, started there and adjusted to attending. Lona Harper figured she would have to go about a week, two weeks tops.

MABEL TAYLOR Mabel “Lubbie” Evans Taylor of Lawrenceville and Powhatan passed away on Wednesday, January 31, 2018. She was the daughter of the late Joe and Ruby Evans and was preceded in death by her brothers, Billy Joe Evans and Earl Eugene Evans.

She is survived by her husband, Phillip L. Taylor; her daughter, Wanda Myers and husband, Dick; and her grandson, Taylor Myers and wife, Katelyn. The word firecracker is the perfect description for Lubbie. You knew TAYLOR when she entered the room and if she didn’t like anything, fireworks appeared. She loved her high school sweetheart, my grandfather, Phil “T” for 63 years. Her best friend in the entire world was my mother, Wanda. There wasn’t a time that she and my mother were separated. Her most precious moment was watching me, her grandson, draw his first breath and I was with her when she drew her last. I was her world; my mother and I were her life. My father and her son-in-law, Dick, was her son she never had. She loved him and everyone worshipped her. My wife and her granddaughter-in-law, Katelyn, saved her life on Sunday. She and Lubbie were mirror images of one another. We will always have a little piece of Lubbie with Katelyn. She was the most stylish woman, the most honest, the most beautiful and loving person that anyone could ever know and boy was she a fighter; a 10year survivor of breast cancer, she was the toughest woman I ever knew. She was the matriarch, the rock, and taught us how to live life to the fullest. Between going to the beach at Nags Head, North Carolina, going on cruises, vacations, or watching UVA baseball games, she loved, laughed, lived and never held back on what she wanted or said. She’s now looking over everyone she loved or touched. She had the biggest heart because it had to beat for everyone she met, cared for, and loved. She’s our guardian angel and our super hero wearing her pink flashy stylish cape. You’ll always be my buddy buddy and palzywalzy. Fly high with Jesus, my Lubbie.

The family received friends from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, February 3, at Williams Funeral Home, Lawrenceville. A memorial service was conducted at 3 p.m. on Sunday, February 4 at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School, Powhatan.

Sheriff’s office arrests man wanted in Nevada for abducting ex-wife N ew s Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office on late Thursday evening arrested a Powhatan man who is accused of abducting at gunpoint and later releasing his ex-wife in Nevada before fleeing the state.

In the late evening of Thursday, Feb. 1, the sheriff’s office’s emergency response team arrested Guy Robert Lowery in the 1400 block of Page Road, according to Sheriff Brad Nunnally. Currently, he is being held by local authorities pending extradition.

According to a release from the Boulder City Police Department, in the late morning of Tuesday, Jan. 30, a 65 year-old Boulder City resident was abducted at gunpoint from in front of the Boulder City Post Office. The victim's assailant was her ex-husband, who resides in Powhatan County, according to the police department.

“The victim was forcibly driven to a remote desert area outside of Boulder City, where the suspect held her for over two hours and had a gun pointed at her while the suspect repeatedly threatened to shoot her. At one point the victim was tied to a tree and threatened with death,” according to the release.

The suspect eventually agreed to return the victim to Boulder City, where she was released, and then immediately fled the area, the release said.

Boulder City detectives were able to track the suspect as he drove across the country. They obtained an arrest warrant and notified the Powhatan County Sheriff's Office and requested its assistance in serving the arrest warrant.

Nunnally said his office was notified on Wednesday, Jan. 31 by the Boulder City Police Department that felony warrants had been taken out against Lowery for assault and kidnapping with a deadly weapon. His of-

ship spiked from 42 to more than 230.

Budner said it makes her feel wonderful to see Potter named as this year’s recipient of the award named for her. But she pointed out it is also called an award of excellence, so the people chosen as the recipients have excelled in what they have done.

“Michael is a pure example of caring about the chamber. A lot of it has to do with the chamber but also community and different things he has accomplished in the community,” she said. “You have to be a member of the chamber to get this award, but we pick sterling people, and Michael is sterling.”

While presenting the award during the annual meeting, Budner described Potter, who had not yet been named as the recipient, as an innovator and visionary.

When she first started with the chamber and was becoming familiar with the community, she heard about this “bright, energetic young man that John Rothert had taken under his wing. I had already met John and thought this

guy must be pretty special to be able to work with John. Together, they have taken care of the county facilities and lawn maintenance since 1980.”

As this young man grew in experience, he developed into an integral part of the Powhatan community, she said, before listing some of Potter’s accomplishments.

Potter served on the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Board for 14 years; for years he was instrumental in developing and continuing the Christmas Parade, which for several years was sponsored by the chamber; is invaluable every year to Powhatan’s Festival of the Grape from beginning to end; has been captain of Powhatan Volunteer Fire Department Company 1; served on the chamber board; was part of the first group that started 4th Friday’s/ Village Vibe, and was a founding partner of the Village Building Company and a founding partner of Village Concepts.

fice then received a call earlier in the day on Feb. 1 saying Lowery was believed to be in Virginia only a few hours from his home in Powhatan.

“We had emergency response team members respond to his residence and await his arrival, at which time they placed him in custody after a brief struggle,” Nunnally said, adding the arrest took place about 10 p.m.

Lowery didn’t fight extradition, so he will be held locally until the authorities from Nevada come to Powhatan to pick him up and transport him back for arraignment, Nunnally said.

The release from Boulder City confirmed that its detectives will be travelling to Powhatan to continue the investigation and aid in the extradition of the suspect.

Potter saw a need for a housing development that would encourage the older generation to stay in the county and developed the Scottville community for ages 55 and older. Then he saw another housing need for people looking to scale down their property maintenance now that their children had moved out, but they weren’t 55, which has led to the Erin Hill development project. He also renovated an 1820 home in the Village area to turn into Bienvenue, an elegant events venue.

“He thought this would go along with keeping the Village vibrant and a place to visit.

So far the property has hosted family reunions, graduation parties, birthday parties, celebration of life services, company meetings, oyster roasts, Historical Society meetings, as well as other events. There are weddings planned for this spring,” Budner said.

Budner and all the years she gave as executive director. It has been passed on to others that have given countless hours and time to the community,” he said.

Potter added that he sees the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce as a nucleus of business development and resources in the county.

Habitat for Humanity seeks future homeowners HABITAT Continued from pg. 1

has sat vacant for nine years since the new station was built across the street.

In January, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) signed a five-year lease with Habitat to use the old fire station on Urbine Road as Habitat’s headquarters and for the occasional sale of materials. Habitat will be making substantial repairs and upgrades to the structure and the EDA has applied to rezone the 1.581acre property the building sits on from a split zoning of R-C Residential Commercial and A-10 Agricultural 10 to CC Commerce

Contributed Report The best-kept secret in Powhatan is, “Who can help me buy a great house that I can afford on a limited income?� The answer: Powhatan Habitat for Humanity.

The local nonprofit organization is currently in the process of Center to facilitate the use.

The resale shop will be a nonprofit home improvement store and donation center that sells new and gently used furniture, appliances, home accessories, building materials and more to the public at a fraction of the retail price. It will be independently owned and operated by Habitat for Humanity Powhatan to bring in funds for the nonprofit.

But rather than permits and site plans being the main focus of the neighborhood meeting, talk kept coming back to Francis “Chuck� Urbine’s stories of the origins of the building and how people

came together to build it in 1970 and form the station. Based on their methods of salvaging parts from other buildings no longer in use, giving the old fire station a new purpose like that of a resale shop seems fitting.

A resourceful group The founders of the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department had their first meeting at Holly Hills Methodist Church and stored the three used trucks they bought from Chesterfield County for $500 at Yard Works before they completed the station, Urbine said. “They sat over there until we brought them over here and repaired them all, got them in shape and painted them.

We painted them in that building there and when you get in the top of that building, you will find yellow paint,� Urbine told Hefferon. “I’ll know where it came from,� Hefferon said with a laugh.

The fire station was built by the volunteers who would work out of it, Urbine said. The only contractor they had was the one who laid the cinderblock for them. “We did everything else. We did the wiring, we did the concrete, we cleaned the lot and my brother donated the land,� he said.

The founding members borrowed $5,000 from the bank, but they also were incredibly resourceful, Urbine said.

When Interstate 195 was built and several buildings were torn down, the volunteers scavenged as

much as they could. They were also given donations, such as concrete for the floor (which they laid themselves) and asphalt for the front. “We just had people give us a lot of stuff. We kind of scrounged around,� he said.

The men building it also had jobs, so they worked on the station on nights and weekends.

Once it was built, the station would hold ham and turkey suppers that filled the building, dances, made stew and other fundraisers to help pay for it, he said. “It was a great place.

We built it and we put all the equipment into it at no cost to the county. The county didn’t give us a penny. It took us a few years ‌ to convince the county that they needed to give us some money,� Urbine said.

He recalled the fire department financing two trucks through Central Virginia Bank at Flat Rock and then being unable to save it when it caught on fire. “The double ceilings in there is what burnt the building down – one built on top of the other. You think you are through, you chunk a hole through to get some water in there, but above it is another one. You thought you were doing something and you weren’t,� he said. “We lost a little bit of money because Larry was the treasurer at the fire department and he kept our change in a bucket and it was toasted.�

In another story, he recalled the siren the fire station would use to call men out to fight fires. The

roughly 400-pound siren – he pronounced it sireene – was also salvaged from another building. One of the volunteers built a system using a phone line that allowed dispatchers in the Village area to set off the alarm at the Huguenot Station with a push of a button. “You could hear it from here to Midlothian.

We didn’t have any other communication but a phone tree,� he said.

Urbine said he and many other people have many great memories and a great deal of hard work associated with the old fire station. He still thinks the building should have been sold after volunteers moved to the new one across the street, but for now, he said he is glad that at least with Habitat using the space, the old station won’t be neglected and falling down anymore.

Moving ahead With the five-year lease in place, Habitat has already received its permit to start putting on a new roof and working on the ceiling from the inside, including sandblasting and painting the metal girders and painting the walls, Hefferon said.

After that, they will apply for another permit to redo the electrical, plumbing and heating and air systems, he said. They will also put in a new public restroom and refurbish an office space that will be used by executive director Tim Bowring.

An old kitchen – the same one that housed all those ham and turkey suppers – and a storage space

will be added with the bay to use as space for the resale shop and some storage. Upstairs, a multipurpose room will not be open to the public and will likely be used for training, breaks and storage, he said.

All told, the entire renovation project is still estimated to cost about $38,000, Hefferon said. “With everything considered, with the five-year lease and some of the donations we are getting and some of the work we are going to do, we felt that over a five-year period we could recoup the investment partnering with the county,� he said.

Habitat is still looking for a used truck to pick up donations, used commercial shelving, paint and other items to use for the refurbishment, as well as people with experience is managing a resale store and volunteers willing to work it, he said.

Depending on the weather, the renovation projected is expected to take about three months, at which point the new resale shop will hold a grand opening or rededication, Hefferon said. He pointed out that the store will only be open part time. “As a citizen of Powhatan, the Economic Development Authority is making a good choice here and revitalizing this corner and changing it so we can make good use of it as a commercial center.

I think that is a great decision, partnering with the county,� he said.

and attraction of clean, small, and medium-sized industrial, office, and commercial enterprises.

Bill Melton, who represents District 4, asked specifically about a strategy to adopt a fast-track program for the county economic development services addressing rezoning, utility connections, site review, and state and local government department reviews. He said this strategy has been on paper for awhile, but it needs to be a priority for staff.

David Williams, District 1, said staff also needs to make sure the review process is what they want it to be.

This led to a discussion with the board and former Senator John Watkins, who is chair of the Economic Development Authority, about having more communication between all of the entities to make sure everyone is doing what they need to meet this objective, including the role and responsibilities of the EDA. Angie Cabell, District 3, also asked for a brief discussion to better define a fast-track program, when it would be used, and make it clear it would not mean that the county would circumvent or ignore any ordinances to bring a business into the county.

Encourage and support initiatives to target economic sectors that capitalize on local and regional strengths through a systematic approach based on an economic development plan.

Strive to move closer to a commercial/residential tax base valuation of at least 30 percent / 70 percent in order to be able to fund infrastructure and community facilities in a fiscally-sustainable manner.

Melton said he felt the 30-70 ratio of commercial/residential tax base is not realistic. He would rather set a more tangible, trackable number, create a plan on how to achieve it and get busy on it.

County administrator Ted Voorhees agreed that tracking those numbers and setting a positive direction is essential so they can assess what is working or not in helping shift more of the tax base to the commercial.

Chairman Carson Tucker suggested leaving the objective but adding to it steady goals the county can reach incrementally each year regarding revenues.

“What we are after is something specific. If we keep going around 30-70, which we all know even Henrico doesn’t have, what’s the point? It’s never going to happen unless we say 2 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent… until the curve begins to move on its own with its own inertia.

That’s all we’re after,” Tucker said.

Infrastructure and Facilities The chapter on infrastructure and facilities covers a wide range of services – sewer and water, broadband, schools, county facilities, parks, libraries, emergency services and solid waste management, Schardein said.

High level changes to this chapter included updating descriptions and figures; capturing facilities that have been built since the 2010 comprehensive plan; removing a recommendation to consider a service area on the west end of the county for utilities since there are no current plans to extend utilities beyond Routes 522 and 60; updating phases of the public utilities based on the Water and Wastewater Master Plan adopted in 2015, and adding new goals of securing a long-term service water supply, exploring water reuse options and further investigating alternative wastewater treatment options, Schardein said.

tives: develop a needs assessment to identify needed capacity and new locations for additional school facilities based on projected population growth; develop a school “level-of-service” analysis utilizing long-range impact analyses; plan for an addition to Powhatan High School; plan for maintenance and major capital improvements to existing school buildings and operating facilities, such as reroofing, expansions, or replacement of HVAC equipment, and evaluate and procure land for future schools in the near future, especially a fourth elementary school.

The board did not have any discussion on this item.

County facilities – Some of the recommendations offering general direction to help achieve the stated objectives were: planning for financing to maintain existing facilities and build new facilities per the Facilities Space Needs Assessment Phase II; maintaining and repairing existing county facilities on an ongoing basis in order to provide a safe environment and an attractive appearance, and grouping county administrative functions near one another for maximum efficiency and locate in the Courthouse Village to support the commercial base in this growth area.

The board had some discussion about the location of county administration offices not in the main administration building and whether they should all stay in the Village area.

Parks – At the start of this item, Cabell suggested changing this item to Parks and Recreation. Other than that, the board did not have any discussion on this item.

A few specific goals Schardein highlighted were researching and acquiring additional property to expand trails; improving access to water and river activities; meeting open space needs; and providing alternative recreational opportunities, such as a skate park. He also mentioned working with Powhatan County Public Schools to effectively coordinate the use of existing recreational resources and work together to address the future needs and reuse of spaces owned by Powhatan County and Powhatan County Public Schools.

Libraries – Two specific goals Schardein pointed out were evaluating the need for satellite and/or branch locations for library services throughout the county and working with other departments and agencies (school board, parks and recreation, and fire/rescue) to consider co-locating libraries with other county facilities. The board had no discussion on this item.

Emergency services – Some of the

CHURCH DIRECTORY 794-5864

Expect great things from God; Attempt great things for God!

Water and wastewater – In this section, there was a long list of directions to help achieve objectives of the 2015 Water and Wastewater Master Plan and the comprehensive plan. The board modified the language on a few of them.

Another section under this topic looks at developing water and sewer infrastructure. It includes descriptions and a map that show geographic service areas that are currently operating on separate systems. The long-term objective is to connect the systems by laying lines along the Route 60 Corridor and expanding service in other areas through cooperation with surrounding localities, according to the plan. The intent is to direct growth to locations where the county has planned for utility services. The board had minimal discussion on this section.

Broadband – Schardein addressed the aspect of the comprehensive plan with goals regarding broadband access.

The plan identifies a few strategies on how to improve broadband access. The strategies included developing “technology zones” throughout the county where new or current businesses can utilize high-speed internet broadband or wireless communications; continuing to monitor the wireless broadband project in the county and work with the private partner that has been chosen to bring high-speed broadband to underserved areas and for businesses; exploring any grant opportunities to accelerate the wireless broadband project deployment timeline and minimize the amount of county funding needed, and working with the local representative on the Virginia Wireless Communications Infrastructure Group to further promote bringing broadband to underserved areas of the county.

Schardein also mentioned recommendations to improve the county’s telecommunications infrastructure; continuing work with the radio project consultant to provide a telecommunications design plan for a new radio system that includes new towers and exploring all co-location opportunities on existing towers to remove “holes” in radio communication; centralizing and maintaining a countywide telecommunication tower inventory and users process, utilizing the GIS system, and maintaining a uniform and comprehensive set of standards for development and installation of telecommunications towers and related facilities.

A few of the board members said they thought the first line about developing “technology zones” should move to the chapter on economic development and have its language adjusted.

Schools – Several recommendations in this section offer specific directions to help achieve the stated objec-

side the county.

The board had a discussion about environmentally-sensitive tourism, what Powhatan has, and where the county should concentrate its focus.

Watkins said one thing the EDA has discussed is that agro-tourism really doesn’t generate tax dollars for the county.

“Powhatan County forgoes a significant revenue stream in land use taxation, so that is a negative. But it maintains a quality and value of life that most of the people in Powhatan feel acceptable,” Watkins said. “That is where this comp plan really gets important, because if you want the growth and if you want to change that residential tax base, you are going to have to do some things that may not be popular. You are looking at somebody who has learned the hard way, commercial follows rooftops, period.”

This started the board on a discussion about how much of what the board wants to accomplish in preserving Powhatan’s farms and natural resources and promoting agro-tourism is actually an economic driver.

The board ultimately decided to move this objective to the chapter involving natural resources.

Retaining existing businesses is of high priority and present employers and job opportunities should be maintained and enhanced.

Watkins said the EDA is due to adopt a business retention and expansion plan in February. That is key to members of the EDA because “if you want new business, they are going to ask old businesses how they were treated. And the foundation for that is what we do to keep existing businesses and expand existing businesses here in Powhatan County.”

Bailey’s Café students serve up tasty treats

By Laura McFarland News Editor

S

ometimes it feels as though finding a good meal is like hitting a moving target.

Like most people probably do, I have my favorite meals and even most adored restaurants, but even they don’t always match up to perfection. Maybe the taste is a little off or less than stellar service mars the experience. Maybe it was just an off day and my enjoyment of the meal suffers as a result.

Thankfully, none of those things happened when I recently returned to one of Powhatan’s hidden culinary gems after a long absence.

Bailey’s Café is a student-run restaurant tucked away beside the cafeteria at Powhatan High School.

With the exception of Mark Robertson, culinary arts instructor, the restaurant is entirely staffed by students in the school’s culinary arts program.

The students who actually run the restaurant – which means both cooking and serving – are in their second year in the culinary arts program. The schedule is designed so that students rotate jobs every few days worked, Robertson said.

“I like for each to work a minimum of two days on each position,” he said. “They need exposure to the front and back of the house. While some are very personable and will make an excellent server or host, the ones who would rather stay in the dishwasher area need to see what the service jobs are like.”

The class before lunch, usually a first year class,

takes care of setting up, and the later class, a first or third year class, finishes the cleanup, Robertson added. Sometimes those classes also make food that is served in the restaurant.

Since first trying the restaurant in 2015, I have managed to make it to Bailey’s a handful of times for lunch. It would have been more, but it goes back to the reference about hitting a moving target. Bailey’s doesn’t have a set schedule, and matching up the days it is open with my hectic schedule hasn’t always been easy even when I am making a concerted effort.

But the two finally matched up one day in January, and I was able to stop by and enjoy the daily special, which featured chicken tenders, macaroni and cheese and green beans. It obviously wasn’t the healthiest meal I could have chosen but it tasted pretty darn good. The meal was made even better by an attentive and efficient waiter named Trevor.

And what made the experience the most impressive was it was only the second day the café has been open all school year. Robertson said the café usually is open some in the fall, but other events they were involved in delayed the opening.

The restaurant will continue to operate a few times a month through May. Robertson said he does try to put out a monthly schedule with dates, times and menu options.

The restaurant’s grill menu remains constant, including a salad bar, burgers, chicken sandwiches, French fries, etc. There also is always a daily special that is both appetizing and something that can be pre-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor, Please stop, think and reevaluate. Local, state and federal governments will never need less revenues. If the need is less, they will define a new need (entitled to a free cell phone, free college education, healthcare, access to WIFI without going to the library) or expand the base that should qualify for the existing need (you get food or medical support if you are 120 percent of poverty, now it should be 140 percent of poverty and next year it should be 170 percent of poverty). Governments define needs to gather more revenue to define a new or expanded need. It is a never-ending cycle with no true checks and balances for common sense since we have decided the Constitution is a living changing document and we are all entitled.

How wonderful is that concept so we can never run out of roles for the government monster. As for those of us that vote for and feed the monster, we have truly lost sight of what is a need and what is a want. We are arguing over who the winners and losers should be of the revenues feeding and receiving the needs, and we are good as long as it does not affect our front step or our pocket or we are one of the winners of the free or discounted goods and services. We want it all as long as someone else has to provide it and pay for it.

We should all be ashamed and stop the madness to look deeper into this destructive road we have taken. This was not the path our founding fathers laid out for us. I think they wanted us to have the freedom to support and do for ourselves and to define our own happiness and path as long as we did not harm others, and that included the taking of our hard earned money by gun point to redistribute it to others.

The saddest part of all above the self-serving, greedy, instant gratification attitude so prevalent today is I don’t think we are happier, better or more productive as we self-medicate (over spending, over indulging, over dosing) in so many ways to try to find a happy place. Our founding fathers, who lived much simpler, cleaner and more gratifying lives than most of us, are for sure turning in their graves.

There is a time to take a step back and take responsibility for our own selves, our own happiness and our own success.

If not now, then when? If not me, then who?

The Powhatan Extension office and Powhatan Department of Public Works have partnered with Virginia Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (VDACS) to bring a free recycling service to area farmers and horticulture businesses. You may be wondering what old containers you can clean out of your home garden shed, but this program does not include homeowner products. Before bringing containers to the collection site, applicators must triple rinse or jet rinse containers, remove plastic sleeved label and/or label booklets, remove caps and contact either Rachel Grosse or Dave Johnson to schedule a drop off. For more information on acceptable containers and drop off information, contact Rachel Grosse at the Powhatan Extension office 804-598-5640. u

Backpacks of Love, nonprofit committed to eliminating hunger in school-age children by providing nourishing food for their weekend, needs help. In addition to the constant need for donated individual-sized food items, adults or students are needed to double bag the plastic bags the group packs in, which will help expedite the packing process. (This job can be done at home if people pick up bags at the pantry office.) The group also needs help breaking down boxes for recycling. This job should be done weekly preferably on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and/or Thursdays after packing days. These are great jobs for students looking for community hours.

pared to fit in with the lunch breaks of teachers and staff. Some of the items scheduled to be upcoming daily specials included roast beef with homemade mashed potatoes, grilled chicken with broccoli and fettuccine Alfredo, and baked lasagna, Robertson said.

Although the clientele of Bailey’s Café is mostly faculty and staff, it is actually open to the public. Robertson said that getting the word out can be a challenge, but Bailey’s does get parents and families of students, and occasionally community groups, looking for a new lunch spot. (If you do manage to make it, the only forms of payment taken are cash or check.)

If you are interested in the schedule, contact Robertson at mark.robertson@powhatan.k12.va.us.

As the culinary instructor pointed out, students who come through these career and technical education (CTE) classes are learning skills they can use in everyday life but also are being exposed to a possible career. It gives them a chance try out this field while they are in school and may save them some trial and error once they have moved on and are trying to support themselves.

“For the students, they get that life skill, and for some they learn whether or not this is a possible career, or at least an option for part-time work as they are moving into their adult life,” Robertson told me.

“We also see this as a way to connect with the community, and showcase what skills are being taught that will be usable throughout their life.”

FRIENDSHIP Continued from pg. 1

diverse activities that assure that seniors remain active and connected to the community while meeting their nutritional needs, said Kim Bise, Powhatan’s Friendship CafÊ manager.

The Friendship CafĂŠ in Powhatan is one of 21 across the state offering seniors a nice lunch program with activities and field trips, she said. “I want them to have a nice day, to have fellowship and friends. If we are exercising, I like to build up their bodies. A lot of them are shut-ins and don’t have anybody. I like to give them a place that’s a nice environment,â€? Bise said.

Powhatan’s Friendship CafÊ has been around at least 30 years, used to meet in other locations many years ago and has a steady crowd of regulars, but Bise added there is still plenty of room for growth.

Seniors go through an application process, but the program is open to older adults who are: age 60 or older; independently mobile and not homebound; physically, mentally, and medically independent and able to attend the Friendship CafĂŠ without assistance, and living independently in a private residence and are not current residents of an adult care residence, assisted living facility, or nursing home.

Participants can drive themselves, get rides with friends and family, or use one of the transportation providers coordinated

by Senior Connections. If available, transportation to the cafÊ will be arranged by Senior Connections’ staff after someone is deemed eligible through an application process.

Bise said she constantly challenges herself to keep the programs interesting for the seniors.

The program almost always includes modified exercise classes twice a week, with an instructor from the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA coming to teach as part of the Aging Strong Program. Seniors are encouraged to exercise at their comfort level and ability, whether they need to sit or stand.

Lona Harper, who is usually one of the youngest in the group, said the older members at Friendship CafĂŠ have actually helped her become more active. “I had gotten in a little rut.

This has made me more active than I was before and I enjoy the exercise. I exercise at home once a week, but I enjoy coming here two days a week for exercise,� she said.

Other activities include attending free programs offered by other organizations, such as the movies at the Powhatan Public Library or a senior Bingo at the YMCA; taking field trips to

stores in and out of Powhatan; going grocery shopping; or holding special classes, Bise said.

She has had a painter come to do a paint party with the seniors, had a hat making and wreath making classes and holds an annual Christmas party.

Seniors are given a hot meal if they are staying at the church or a bagged lunch if they go out. Once a month, they usually eat at a restaurant while they are on a field trip but pay for it themselves.

Some days are more low key and the seniors are content to stay at the church to talk, work in puzzle books, celebrate birthdays and enjoy each others’ company, Bise said. “A lot of them have no way to get out of the house. They are widowed or alone. The van is able to pick them up, bring them to a place where they see people, have an activity and a nice meal,� she said.

Mary Eggleston, 80, of Powhatan started attending the Friendship CafĂŠ back in 2008 and has kept coming because she enjoys everything about it, from activities like making wreaths or attending her first art class to other seniors she gets to see every week. The people who attend get along well, and when there is a conflict, they work through it, she said. “It’s a great friendship here.

We are just a family,� she said,

adding that if someone doesn’t show up, she calls them to check on them.

Eggleston said she doesn’t drive, so if Senior Connections didn’t offer the free transportation, which is carried out by VanGo Transportation Services, she couldn’t attend. “The drivers are nice. They attend to us like we are their children. They make sure we get in the house before they leave,� she said.

Cordelia Davis, 68, of Powhatan said she was at home and not doing anything when several people talked about Friendship CafĂŠ and convinced her to give it a try about four years ago. If nothing else, she figured it was a chance to get out and talk with other people. She came regularly until a death in the family in May 2017 made her visits more spo-

appropriate emphasis on the activities necessary for a successful, sustainable economic development enterprise. “I have great confidence in Bret’s commitment to our community and know he will make an impact,� Voorhees said.

Schardein brings a wealth of local government experience working in growing rural localities, having been the director of community development for Powhatan County since August 2016; planning director/deputy county administrator for Cumberland County; and director of community development for

radic. Now, she is back trying to attend more regularly.

Davis said she mainly enjoys getting together and sharing life stories. It’s better than sitting at home alone, she said, adding this motivates her to get up and dressed and out of the house. “A lot of times when you are at home you want to stay at home. You have to push yourself.

Once you get up and get out, you feel better and you feel like you’ve accomplished something during the day,� she said. “I feel better when I get home. I feel as though I am refreshed when I get home.�

t was the final regular season match for the Powhatan wrestling team on Jan. 31 and the Indians sent their seniors off in the best way possible.

Facing off against a Region 4B opponent, the Indians dominated Monacan

57-4, with all four seniors on the team claiming wins over the Chiefs.

Senior Ian Oliver won by decision over Dylan Frederick 6-4 in the 126-pound weight class.

“I think I did pretty well,” he said.

“Obviously, there are always things to work on, especially (when I’m) on bottom. I think I can do better there. But, overall, I think I did pretty well.”

Collin Gerardi pinned Muzehe Tuyisenge in the 138-pound weight class in 2:44.

Gerardi wrestled up a weight class as Monacan was forfeiting the 132 class, Gerardi’s normal slot.

“I’m glad I got a match,” he said. “I think I did pretty well. I just went out there and wanted to put on a show and have some fun. That’s what I love about

wrestling.”

In the 145-pound weight class, Jeffrey Hoyt returned to the mat following his recovery from a broken nose and took on an undefeated opponent in Monacan’s Ian Baker.

Hoyt not only battled with Baker, but also with the protective mask that Hoyt wore. see INDIANS, pg. 2B}

Despite a lackluster win-loss record, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s young team has taken great strides this season.

This kind of in-house improvement amidst a trying year doesn’t happen without strong leaders.

Two of those leaders, seniors Dion Butler and Colby Johnson, were honored prior to their final home game against Brunswick Academy.

Though the Knights suffered a 53-44 defeat to the Vikings, the focus of night was to commemorate the contributions of the two outgoing seniors.

By the time the ball went up for the opening tipoff, the Knights’ home gym was nothing short of electric.

The home crowd came out in full force to honor the seniors and support the team, and their enthusiasm did not go unnoticed.

A hotly contested first quarter featured a number of steals and blocks by Blessed Sacrament Huguenot and Knights coach Chris Hamner didn’t hesitate to identify the reason for the team’s defensive intensity: “I really think all our energy and effort was for our two seniors, and we wanted it see KNIGHTS, pg. 3B}

Big early run dooms Powhatan against Lions

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

T

hroughout this season, Powhatan’s boys basketball team has often had trouble getting going at the beginning of

games.

Louisa’s boys basketball team rolled into the Powhatan High School gym on Feb. 2 and pounced all over the Indians, racing out to a double-digit opening run that resulted in a 66-53 victory.

“We started out really slow,” Powhatan boys basketball coach Steve Washburn said. “We were down (by 18) before we even got engaged. After we did, we settled in. I thought we strung together some good stretches. The result obviously wasn’t what we wanted, but I thought there were parts of the game where we showed that fight and the type of team that we really are. That’s been our season.

We’ve played well in stretches and not played well in others.”

In the blink of an eye from the opening tipoff, the Lions went to work.

Louisa’s Carlton Williams, Malik Bell, Xavien Hunter and Christopher Steppe were big players in the opening 18-0 run that quickly silenced the home Indians

“Wrestling with the mask, you have no peripheral vision,” he said. “So, you have to keep the guy right in front of you. It’s kind of annoying, but next week I don’t have to wear it anymore.”

While the mask might have annoyed Hoyt, it didn’t stop him from handing Baker his first defeat of the season in a 6-2 decision.

“I haven’t wrestled much this year because I’ve been hurt on and off,” he said. “It felt good to be out there. I felt really good on my feet and attacking.”

The Indians fourth senior, Sam Tomlinson, pinned Monacan’s Damien Henderson in just 45 seconds.

“It was really fun,” he said. “I just love the atmosphere. It’s really changed over the past few years.

We’ve never had an atmosphere like this in any way, shape or form in the crowd. We’re still working on it, even in the next few years to come. It’s

crowd and set the tone for the game.

Louisa’s size advantage over Powhatan was abundantly clear when it came to grabbing rebounds off the glass on both ends of the floor.

“It wasn’t the first shot that hurt us,” Washburn said. “We defended the first shot pretty well. It was the second and third shots.”

It wasn’t until the 2:08 mark in the first quarter did Powhatan get on the board with two free throws from Joseph Santiago.

“That team can do that to you,” Washburn said. “They can hit you quick. We had a tough time responding early.”

Powhatan woke up in the second quarter and put some pressure on the Lions.

The Indians ended the first quarter with three-straight points and opened the second with a 10-2 run that made it a 2115 game after a 3-point shot from Deven Van Natter.

Anthony Nelson went on a personal 5-0 run, which was followed by a 6-0 run by the Lions that silenced the Indians chance at getting back into the game.

Louisa did not let off the gas in the second half.

Junior Robert Shelton opened the second half with a personal 5-0 run and Lou-

just going to get better.”

In the other matches against the Chiefs, J.D. McMillin won by pin over Ishmael Meredith in 1:04.

Powhatan’s Cole Burton pinned Jack Murphy in 1:25, Jacob Moss pinned Jack Vestal in 1:15, Linwood Hill pinned Jacob Poh in 26 seconds and Jarrett Tronge won by decision over Joshua Moore 9-7.

Monacan’s lone points in the match came at 152 pounds, when Monacan’s Ethan Carpenter won by major decision over Colby Cheatham 10-2.

The seniors and their families were honored prior to the match and soaking in the experience of the night.

Oliver said that making the state tournament was one of his highlights of his four years at Powhatan and hopes to return there this season.

“It means a lot,” Oliver said. “Going from a freshman when I was just starting out and didn’t know anything about the sport to now…it’s just crazy.”

Gerardi is a three-time

state champion for the Indians and is on track for number four.

“The time flew by,” Gerardi said. “I just went through the years and was enjoying every minute of it. I look back now and I’m like…’holy cow.’ It went by really, really fast.

I regret nothing, it was all fun.”

Tomlinson was a state qualifier last season as well for Powhatan.

“There’s no question, this is my favorite team that I’ve ever been a part of,” he said. “I feel like I can really count on this team. Everyone in the lineup does their job.”

Hoyt also wrestled in the state tournament for the Indians last season and said that he hopes to return to his form he was in prior to his injury woes this season.

“Having everyone here and having this big crowd here is really nice,” he said.

“I remember watching when I was a little kid and now being out there doing it is really cool to see. It’s a good thing to be a part of.”

The Indians continued

isa continued to pour it on with a 3-point play from Bell and free throws from Williams and one from Bell.

Seemingly, the only weakness that Louisa displayed against the Indians was a propensity of foul trouble in the second half.

The Lions committed their seventh foul with 2:26 left in the third quarter, as Santiago sank the first of the one-andone.

But, that only cut the Louisa lead to 50-26 and with the Indians only going to the line three more times for the remainder of the game, it was a non-factor.

Powhatan’s offense started making shots in the fourth quarter as Jaylen Hempfield and Austin Washburn started heating up.

Hempfield and Washburn combined for 19 points in the fourth quarter, which was more than the Indians scored in the entire first half.

Washburn led the team with 19 points, while Hempfield had 13 and Van Natter had 12.

On Jan. 30, Powhatan hosted Monticello and it went down to the wire against the Mustangs.

Washburn hit a 3-point shot with just seconds remaining in the game to tie the

game at 50.

But, the Mustangs were able to go the length of the floor and score a basket with two seconds remaining to win 52-50.

The loss to the Mustangs was another close loss for Powhatan, which has been something else the Indians have battled this season.

“We’ve been in a lot of games,” coach Washburn said. “We’ve held the lead or been tied with two minutes to go in six of our losses. We haven’t come out on the winning end of any of those. But, I think our team has developed and we’re learning and we’re getting better. We just need to develop some consistency.”

As the end of the regular season nears and with the Jefferson District and Region 4B tournaments approaching, Powhatan will hope to see more of what they saw in the fourth quarter against Louisa as opposed to the first half.

“We go through these stretches of offensive lapses,” Washburn said. “I think sometimes those offense lapses lead to defensive lapses. Those compound themselves. We battle back and get ourselves back in the game, but then we’ll hit a scoring drought. We have to block that out and play the next possession. That’s what we have to do.”

their week by winning the Jefferson District tournament crown on Feb. 3 at Orange.

Powhatan needed Tronge to stay off his back and protect the Indians’ slim four-point lead. Orange County needed Ray Pierce to come up with a pin to steal the trophy.

Pierce put up a fight, cutting what was an 8-3

lead to 8-7 by the third round, but Tronge did just enough to earn the win and clinch Powhatan’s championship with 183 team points.

The Indians sent six wrestlers into the finals of the tournament bracketed by weight class and came away with four individual titles.

Sean Hall (27-7) and

McMillin each came away with a wins in the 106 and 113 divisions, respectfully.

Gerardi (35-2) and Moss (28-11) also won titles.

Gerardi was named Most Outstanding Wrestler.

Roundup: Trevillian, Fanz win district titles

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

KNIGHTS Continued from pg. 1

bad for them,” Hamner said. “These guys really love our two seniors. With this being senior night at home, we wanted this one bad. The whole team wanted it, we wanted it as a staff. These two seniors were probably the two leaders of the team, and we wanted to send them out the right way. So I think that’s why our defensive intensity and our rebounding were better than they usually are.”

The raucous homecourt environment left an impact on the players as well.

“It felt good playing my last home game in front of my friends, family, and loved ones,” Butler said. “I had a good time even though we didn’t get the win.”

“It was a great vibe.

Every time we had a big game on a Friday night, they always came out to support us. It helps us a lot in big games like this,” Johnson said.

The Knights trailed 8-7 after one quarter of play.

Unfortunately, Brunswick Academy took some of the energy out of the building in the second quarter, during which they outscored the Knights 2210.

The Vikings led 30-17 at the half.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot refused to lay down, however.

They came out and battled during the third

quarter, where much of their scoring came in the form of 3-point shooting.

“We have guys that can shoot. To be honest, I’m surprised we didn’t knock down more. If you give us that many open looks, we make enough to win the game on most nights,” Hamner said.

Freshman Tyler Hall was Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s main shooting threat, sinking four 3-point shots as part of a team-leading 20-point effort.

The Knights outscored Brunswick Academy 14-9 during the period, but still trailed by eight points heading to the fourth.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot went toe-to-toe with the Vikings for the duration of the fourth quarter.

One of those leading the charge was sophomore Raymond Avery, who converted several times around the rim and from mid-range as he scored 12 points on the night.

Brunswick Academy pulled away late in the game to seal the ninepoint margin of victory.

“We had the right guys shooting, but they just weren’t falling. We had the right guys driving to the basket, but it just wouldn’t fall. It just wasn’t our night,” Hamner said.

After the game, Hamner praised his seniors for their contributions to the team, starting with Dion Butler.

The Indians fell to the Mustangs 54-31.

“Dion is a special kid. I love him to death,” he said. “I probably rode him harder than anybody on the team last year. He’s been a leader this whole season. We had three guys hurt to start the season, including Colby, and Dion stepped up tremendously.

I had no idea he was that type of leader, that type of kid. He showed me a lot during the beginning of the year. He had a lot of weight on his shoulders, and he carried us for a few games.”

Butler expressed similar sentiments about his coach.

“I love Coach Hamner,” Butler said. I’ve loved playing for him. It’s made me love basketball.”

Hamner also had glowing words to say about Colby Johnson.

“Colby is probably one of the best kids I’ve ever coached,” he said. “He’s just a good all-around kid.

He’s good at football, soccer, and basketball. He’s good in the classroom.

He’s just one of those kids who you hope your kids watch guys like him and model themselves after him. He’s that good of a kid.”

Johnson reflected on what his time at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot has meant to him.

“It’s meant a lot. I’ve been playing basketball here since seventh grade.

Through all these years, it’s been great to come out here in front of our home crowd and try to get a win.”

Kylee Maiolo scored 13 points for Powhatan, while Maggie Salomonsky scored 11 points.
