The company and the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors will hold a community meeting and discussion of the proposed project at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 7 at Cumberland Elementary School, 60 School Road, Cumberland, according to Vivian Giles, county administrator and county attorney.

The proposed landfill will also be on the agendas as public hearings for the Cumberland County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors later in the month. The planning commission will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 14 at the elementary school. The board of supervisors will meet at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 28 at the elementary school.

UMBERLAND – A community meeting will be held this week to disseminate information and allow discussion on a municipal landfill being proposed in Cumberland County near the Powhatan County border.

A representative for Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility turned in rezoning and conditional use permit (CUP) applications to the Cumberland County government on Friday, May 25, according to JP Duncan, the county’s planning director/zoning administrator. The applications asked for the rezoning of 15 separate parcels totaling 1,143 acres located on the far eastern side of Cumberland County, just north of Route 60 at its intersection with State Route 654. It will be developed between State Route 654 and State Route 685.

A conceptual rendering of the landfill as it is planned now shows that the entrance to the landfill is about ¼ of a mile from the Powhatan County line, but then there’s 1 mile long private driveway off of Route 60 to get back to the actual site and that comes as close as a few hundred feet from the border at places.

County Waste of Virginia will own and operate the

Harvard Business School alum, author to speak in Powhatan Contributed Report In anticipation of the upcoming June 9 event at the Powhatan County Public Library, "An Evening with Author Lillian Lincoln Lambert," where Lambert will talk about overcoming obstacles to becoming successful in business and life, the Powhatan community may be excited to know of some of the more recent events about the Powhatan native. The event will be from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 9 in the library’s large meeting room.

On April 20-21, Lambert was honored and recognized at Harvard Business School, where she was the first black female to graduate with an MBA from this prestigious institution. The April program celebrated the 50th anniversary of the African American Student Union (AASU), an organization for which Lambert is one of the original four founders from the class of 1969. The formation of the AASU in 1968 was a response by Lambert and her fellow founders to the turbulent civil rights atmosphere of the 1960s, both on and off campus, as well as an opportunity to establish a much needed supportive and encouraging environ-

ment for the few minority students on campus.

A year-long exhibit at the Baker Library at Harvard’s Business School will spotlight the accomplishments of black alumni from 1925 to 1990, the essential role and impact the AASU had on the school’s academic and social environment, and its contribution to school history.

Lambert, as well as former classmates and founders of the AASU, Roy Willis and Ted Lewis, were completely surprised when in addition to the planned 50th anniversary celebration they were also awarded the prestigious W.E.B. DuBois Medal. The W.E.B. DuBois award is Harvard's highest honor in the field of African and African American studies. It is awarded to individuals in the United States and across the globe in recognition of their contributions to African and African American culture and life. Recipients have included Donna Brazile, Oprah Winfrey, Muhammed Ali, Ava DuVernay, LL Cool J, just to name a few; so Lambert and her fellow recipients are in good company. This award was presented to the three by Dr. Drew Faust, president of Harvard University.

Blessed Sacrament recognizes valedictorian and salutatorian

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Zachary Dickerson and Molly Morgan lead the 2018 Class of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School as valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, with grade point averages of 4.50 and 4.47.

Dickerson is the son of Kathryn and Richard Dickerson of Powhatan.

He plans to pursue a degree in music from either King’s College London or the University of Edinburgh.

“Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s strong and fo-

cused academic rigor gave me all of the tools I needed to pursue a degree in music from some of the world’s best universities.

Meanwhile, the tight-knit, family-like community has given me a place to always call ‘home,’” Dickerson said. “I am eternally grateful to my family, friends, and teachers for pushing me to be the best student and, more importantly, person I can be.”

During his time at BSH, Dickerson was involved in a range of academic and sports activities. He was president of the National Honors Society, participated in the

drama department, served as a student ambassador and was captain of the swim team.

Outside of school,

Dickerson’s other interests included playing piano, attending the HOBY Leadership Conference and participating in Boys

State.

Morgan is the daughter of Todd and Kimberly Morgan of Powhatan. She plans to study geology at Sewanee: The University of the South, where she will also be a harpist in the school’s orchestra.

Had it not been for the wonderful, extraordinary opportunities afforded to me by BSH and the teachers that fostered a wonderful learning environment, I could never have had the same success in the college admissions process. I feel as though BSH has truly prepared me for college and whatever my future may hold,”

Morgan said.

While a student at Blessed Sacrament, Morgan served as president of the Latin Club, president of the Student Government Association and treasurer for the National Honor Society.

Outside of school, she was a member of the American Youth Ensemble and Touring Ensemble and was a music teacher at Richmond Boys and Girls Clubs through the Sound Experiences Harp Outreach program.

ments they can bring them to the planning commission’s public hearing as well as the board of supervisors’ public meeting,� Giles said.

The applications submitted to the county ask to rezone the undeveloped land in District 2 from Agricultural (A-2) and Residential (R-2) to Industrial (M-2).

The rezoning and CUP would allow the design, construction, and operation of the landfill as well as a convenience center and recycling facility. At some point, the site will also have a facility that converts gas from the landfill into electricity and other types of power.

If the supervisors approve the rezoning, the proposed landfill would also have to go through the full approval process of the Virginia Department of Equal-

ity (DEQ), which could take 12 to 36 months. Once the DEQ permit is issued, it would take about eight months to construct enough to be operational and accept the first truck load.

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors first became aware of the landfill so close to the county line not from official notifications from Cumberland County or County Waste of Virginia but from residents passing along information, said Ted Voorhees, Powhatan’s county administrator. There were rumors about it progressing that were confirmed with the announcement of the community meeting.

A potential landfill being built in Cumberland close to the Powhatan line was an issue several years ago when Republic Services, the waste-disposal company behind that project, proposed, got approval for and built the facility a short distance from where Green Ridge is now proposed. However, that landfill never opened for business.

Then, as now, the landfill is ultimately a land use decision by a neighboring jurisdiction that Powhatan County will continue to monitor now that it is aware of it, Voorhees said.

powhatandental.com Visit us on

Green Ridge has a comprehensive website at greenridgeva.com that answers questions about the proposed facility.

The most obvious one, why build the landfill in Cumberland County, had several reasons listed. According to the website, County Waste of Virginia mostly services central and southwestern Virginia, which makes Cumberland geographically attractive.

Also, there are a number of other facilities in the central Virginia region that are quickly approaching their maximum capacity, increasing the demand for new disposal capacity within the region.

Additionally, the website references the landfill that was previously proposed in Cumberland and how it demonstrated Cumberland’s openness to that kind of project.

According to the website, of the 1,143 acres that would make up the facility, about 500 acres would be for landfill disposal based on the current conceptual design. As of now, the disposal units are divided into a western area of approximately 300 acres and an eastern area of approximately 200 acres.

In addition to the landfill disposal units, acreage will be needed for borrow areas, stockpile areas, stormwater management, leachate and gas management, scales and scale house, offices and maintenance facilities, parking and trailer storage, citizen convenience and recycling center, roads and compliance monitoring, according to the website. The acreage of the ancillary activities necessary for landfill operation is estimated to be 150 to 200 acres. Final acreage of the layout of the facility will depend on VDEQ permitting and the county site planning process.

According to the website, the facility would not accept any toxic materials, hazardous materials, nuclear waste, wall board or wastewater treatment sludge. Green Ridge would take non-hazardous household waste, construction and demolition debris and approved industrial waste from Cumberland County and other municipalities within a 500-mile radius of the facility, with the vast majority of the waste it receives coming from Central Virginia.

One of the most effective ways to keep odor from a landfill to a minimum is to tightly control what ma-

terials are accepted, the website said. For a number of reasons, including odor control, Green Ridge will not accept any waste water treatment sludge (human or animal waste) or processed sheet rock.

Green Ridge would be open 24 hours a day Tuesday through Friday, and have more limited hours on Saturdays and Mondays, according to the website. It would be closed on Sundays.

How long the landfill will operate depends on the incoming waste stream, tonnage, compaction and final design, according to the website. If 3,500 tons per day are received, then the facility would remain open for approximately 35 years (24 years in the western fill area and 11 years in the eastern fill area). This would decrease to 25 years at 5,000 tons per day.

Potential problems Green Ridge’s website offers assurances to Cumberland residents about several issues that they might find to be potential problems, including worries about ground contamination, odor, and traffic. However, some of the issues, especially traffic, could have a significant impact in Powhatan.

The traffic impact that the facility would have on Cumberland County as a whole would be minimal because Green Ridge is on the far eastern edge of the county, and most of the trucks will be coming from the east on Route 60, according to the website. To minimize the impact of traffic in the area surrounding the facility, traffic flow will be controlled using signage that denotes the direction of traffic flow, speed limit signs, and other traffic-related directions such as yield and stop signs. The ingress and egress to and from the facility will be by way of a new private mile long road connecting the facility with Route 60.

Green Ridge controls much of the incoming waste hauling traffic and can control transportation routes of its trucks and timing of deliveries, the website said. It is currently envisioned that much of the waste will be delivered at night to alleviate stress on Route 60 during the day. “We expect 175 to 250 truckloads on average each day. The majority of the loads will arrive on site during off-peak hours, therefore minimizing traffic,� according to the website.

Powhatan Board of Supervisors Chairman Carson Tucker said that last time a landfill was proposed and approved in Cumberland, Powhatan County protested but really could only monitor the situation. “We conversed with the sheriff’s department over making sure that the trucks coming through Powhatan were driven in a safe manner and were in a safe condition. But we were in the same situation then as we are in now – there is not a whole lot we can do about it except express our dismay,� Tucker said.

Besides the traffic, other concerns that concern Powhatan citizens are the odor coming off of the landfill and the potential for water contamination in nearby properties, Tucker said. Potential water contamination was a big worry for landowners surrounding the previous landfill, and Tucker said he expects it to come up again. “There was some sense that it was only a matter of time before any landfill, no matter how closely monitored, begins to leachate. There was concern about surface water but there was also concern about well water,� he said.

According to the website, the landfill area will be see LANDFILL, pg. 5

constructed with a composite liner system consisting of a clay liner component covered with a membrane made of 60-millimeter-thick high-density polyethylene. The membrane rests on a 2-foot layer of compact clay (or equivalent) that acts as a second natural barrier. Above the synthetic liner is a drainage system used to collect any water that enters the fill area (called leachate) whether from the waste deposited or rainwater infiltration.

A final cover will be installed over the disposal units upon receipt of the final waste, the website said. This final cover system must be permitted

by DEQ and will be designed to inhibit landfill gas migration, minimize stormwater infiltration, support plant growth, and allow for a long-term sta-

bilization of the disposal unit that will minimize erosion and maintenance requirements.

Greenridgeva.com addresses many more of the specifics of the project that people can read about in detail, including stormwater management, leachate collection, compliance monitoring, odor and methane gas management, noise and light limits, dust control, and equipment.

As far as how the facility would impact the property value of neighboring landowners, the company expects “there will be limited impact on property values to the adjoining properties,” and said it “make every effort to ensure we are exemplary neighbors by making certain that any and all potential impacts are monitored to the best of our ability.” With that said, the company claimed to be willing to discuss buying property

for fair market value from owners who don’t want to live near a landfill. However, it did not say whether that offer was good for only landowners in Cumberland or applied to Powhatan as well.

expected that the company will spend $125 to $150 million over the lifetime of the facility in construction costs but added that “local Cumberland County residents and companies will receive preference for any and all jobs requiring a third-party contractor.”

The facility will also be staffed by about 30 employees and led by Jay Zook, the general manager of the facility, who has more than a decade of experience in the waste management industry, according to the website.

For more detailed information, people can visit greenridgeva.com or attend the community meeting or public hearings being held throughout the month in Cumberland County.

Potential benefits A fact sheet provided

by County Waste of Virginia on the Cumberland County government website offers a long list of benefits to building the landfill in Cumberland.

However, most of them would mainly benefit Cumberland County.

Examples include a large annual hosting fee; machinery, equipment and tools tax revenue; scholarship and educational program funds; and free trash disposal for Cumberland residents and the county government.

Green Ridge’s website said that in total, it is

TEACHERS Continued from pg. 1

Teacher of the Year from the county’s five schools’ as well as naming the Teacher of the Year for the entire division.

This year’s divisionwide honoree was Alison Harding, who was also Teacher of the Year at Powhatan Elementary School.

The division also honored the service of 17 employees retiring this year, eight of whom were present at the dinner.

Collectively, the employees gave 405 years of service to Powhatan County Public Schools, Jones noted.

Because PCPS is so student-focused, student participation was weaved into the program, Jones pointed out.

Artwork by students embracing the evenings theme, “Seasons,” was on display at all the tables. The program also featured performances by the PHS Jazz Band, PHS Chorus 2 and Chamber Ensemble.

“We wanted to make sure that the focus is on our students even at this important evening because to us, that’s what it’s all about. That is why we are honoring the Teachers of the Year and all the retirees, because of everything they’ve done to serve our students,” Jones said.

PCPS employee Beth Humphrey and her husband Chip also performed the song “Legacy” to honor the retirees.

Powhatan Elementary School Principal Constance Deal first recognized why Harding was named her school’s Teacher of the Year, and then Jones talked about why she deserved the divisionwide award.

Harding is a second grade inclusion teacher who works alongside co-teacher Mary Angel and has taught for 17 years at various grade levels. Deal pointed out Harding was a preschool teacher to the principal’s now 19-year-old son when he was 2.

Harding is an exceptional teacher who welcomes new and younger teachers and student teachers and has a positive attitude for all around her, Deal said.

“She is very observant and perceptive to the needs of her students and to others. Her engaging classroom is always focused on what the students need and what their achievements are,” Deal said.

Deal also noted Harding is cooperative with parents, students, colleagues and administration. She is kind, friendly, passionate, enthusiastic,

knowledgeable, caring, hard working and demonstrates a high level of commitment as a teacher.

Choosing a divisionwide Teacher of the Year from the candidates is always hard because of the outstanding quality of their work, and it was even harder this year, Jones said. To help make the decision, the teachers come in and present a model lesson and answer questions about teaching and learning. The selection is important because the teacher represents Powhatan County at the next level, the Virginia Teacher of the Year.

Harding said she was shocked to be named Teacher of the Year because she has been teaching with PCPS for 17 years and has seen so many great teachers receive the honor. She also noted the high caliber of educators who had also been nominated that year.

The day she learned she had been chosen for the divisionwide event, Jones came into Harding’s classroom, which was extremely messy because they were doing an experiment that day.

“The room smelled like vinegar and the kids were going crazy. He came in with flowers and (the students) were so excited, so that made it fun,” Harding said.

Teaching is her life, Harding said. She will see people she taught as small children now grown and even starting families of their own.

“It’s just like family when you are in Powhatan because you’ve watched these kids grow up,” she said.

The other Teachers of the Year honored at the dinner were: Ebony Roberson, special education teacher at Flat Rock Elementary School – Principal Tanja Atkins-Nelson said in the last nine years she has worked with her, Roberson has proven to be a wonderful teacher who inspires the students and the staff members around her. She is a strong advocate for her students with special needs and making sure they get the resources they need. She arrives at school early and often leaves late. She seeks out professional development so her students can have great outcomes inside and outside of the classroom.

Josh Wright, music teacher at Pocahontas Elementary School – Principal Tom Sulzer said Wright has been with the district for five years and is a committed member of the division’s exceptional

bands program. Wright was selected because of his dedication to educate students and his passion for music. He is one of the few people who stays after school all season. He runs the Fifth Grade All-County Chorus and leads every grade level in an after school or evening performance, which takes hours of dedication. As a music teacher, Wright sees the raw potential in students and encourages them to engage in the music and showcase their hard work in performances. Sulzer said Wright also goes above and beyond to work with various levels of classes.

Jimmy Roberts, earth and physical science teacher at Pocahontas Middle School – Principal Samantha Martin said Roberts joined the staff of Powhatan Junior High School in 2011. He graciously accepts changes in teaching assignments and still approaches them with enthusiasm. He is widely respected by students and faculty and one of the most conscientious people in the school. He also works the bus loop on a daily basis, rain or shine, with a smile on his face.

Martin also shared the nomination submitted by a fellow teacher to name Roberts for the award. Roberts’s enthusiasm and joy of life and learning helped this teacher rekindle his or her own joy of teaching while going through a rough patch. Professionally, Roberts is the type of teacher one should aspire to be because he holds his students to a high standard and is rigorous in his planning and instruction. He is an excellent role model for the middle school students.

Christian Miller, Spanish teacher at Powhatan High School – Principal Mike Massa said that he has worked at many schools during his career and has found it extremely rare to observe a teacher who has established such strong, organic relationships with students

as he has seen with Miller. One person who nominated him pointed out Miller works hard to make sure each student reaches his or her potential.

Miller is involved in many aspects of the school, including FCA co-sponsor and sponsor for The Leftovers Club, which raises money for Relay for Life. He also created Christmas Around the World, a cocurricular activity that highlights the way cultures around the world celebrate Christmas and other winter holidays. He works hard in his classroom to make world languages relevant to students and remains one of the most popular teachers among students. A teacher who nominated him wrote that Miller consistently strives to find new and innovative ways to teach Spanish by getting students out of the classroom to learn languages and culture and make real world applications. Miller is a gifted teacher, a strong advocate for students and a selfless educator.

Retirees The retirees who were honored were: Karen Horn (20092018); Paula Benge (1990-

2018, 8/1992-12/1992); Pat Bethke (1994-2018); Barbara Watson (1981-2018); Mary Anderson (2000-2018); Hedy Keller (2000-2004, 20052018); Debby Dunn (19852018); Lois Paris (2000-2018); Terry Selbert (1991-2018); Jeanette Patrick (1998-2018); Delores Taylor (2000-2018); Deborah Flinn (1987-1990, 1996-2018); Betsy Blandford (1992-2018); Helen Carroll (1991-2018); Regena Royal (1999-2018); Cassie Tomlin (1987-2017), and Nora Cosner (1988-2018).

The eight retirees who were present were individually honored and praised for their hard work through the years.

The program was an opportunity to recognize years of service and dedication to Powhatan students, said Powhatan County School Board Chairman Joe Walters, who represents District 4.

“We sincerely appreciate that, and this is an opportunity for us as a school board, as a school system, as the county, as citizens, as parents, to thank you for that,” he said.

Four-year mark offers special remembrances

By Laura McFarland News Editor

A

nother year, another milestone.

It’s been four years since I became the news editor of the Powhatan Today on May 27, 2014, and the job still constantly keeps me hopping.

The two times of the year I typically get most nostalgic in this job are around New Year’s, when I am working on the final issue for one year and the first issue for the next, and the anniversary of being hired here. I think about the stories I have written, the people I have met and the new things learned about Powhatan County.

This year’s retrospective is far different from last year’s if for no other reason than it doesn’t involve surgery on my neck, being out of work for six weeks and months more of recovery and my mom worrying about me picking up anything heavier than a handkerchief. I have no desire to repeat that ever again.

It’s always interesting to write this column about this time of year because it has such a different feeling than just a few months ago.

The early part of 2018 was spent largely in meetings. In addition to all of the regularly scheduled board of supervisors and school board meetings, budget seasons leads to even more workshops and discussions added to those. On top of all of that, the board of su-

pervisors has added plenty of workshops to review the comprehensive plan update submitted by the planning commission, and that looks like it will still be front and center for many months to come.

That isn’t a complaint. Yes, it does mean attending a great number of meetings, but that just means Powhatan’s elected leaders are seriously thinking about what the document is and means for the future of the county. It would be more worrying if a document detailing how this county wants to develop (or not develop) in the next few decades simply got the bare minimum of discussion and a rubber stamp.

Spring has come and gone and summer is beginning in earnest. We went from almost no options for local entertainment to a festival or cultural event of some kind almost every weekend. It is a busy and joyous time in Powhatan.

My schedule allowed me to make it to a few of those events, including the Celebration of the Horse, the annual Earth Day festivities, the Hops and Barley Festival, the Steer Roast and, most recently, the Powhatan County Fair. All were great days out, even if they didn’t have the best weather. These and other local organizers for events I couldn’t make it to deserve high praise for the offerings they put on for the county and its visitors.

For all the highs a year might contain, we have definitely had some lows. May 27, 2018, while special to me as my anniversary working in Powhatan, also

was a sad reminder this year. May 27 was the one-year anniversary of the day Powhatan County lost a great local man, Virginia State Police Special Agent Michael T. Walter, who was killed in the line of duty last year in the City of Richmond. Recent local, state and national events honored Mr. Walter and all of the law enforcement officers lost in Virginia and the nation, and it is an incredibly sad time.

On a personal note, I am getting involved in something that has fascinated me since my first summer in Powhatan. Back then, I was told you have to check out the James River Batteau Festival, which I did and have continued to do every year for both the Powhatan Today and the Cumberland Today. Last year was even sweeter because I got to ride along one day on one of the batteau, the Lady’s Slipper, which is based out of Powhatan. It was such a fascinating experience that later this month I will be participating in the festival as a full-fledged member of the boat crew.

Some things about covering the news in Powhatan are predictable and others still blindside me sometimes. Both can be fascinating. Either way, I look forward to keep bringing Powhatan residents news and information about the county and thank our readers for inviting us into your homes and businesses every week.

A soldier’s boots, a son’s respect

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

When my father returned home from World War II, he left most of the reminders of Army life behind, and, unlike many of his friends’ dads, he left uniforms, weapons and mementos behind.

He had other things on his mind, namely a newlywed wife and a strong desire to get on with his life. Besides a couple of trunks that sat in our attic never opened for years and a pair of old worn combat boots, that portion of his life seemed buried.

As children, we would gather the few items he did retrieve and play army in our backyard. Two older shelter halves and some rickety poles served as our headquarters, and we huddled in what we called our bivouac and made plans to defeat the Germans.

I had my father’s old canteen, a few badges and medals whose meanings I hadn’t a clue and an old hat from his days as a lieutenant in the quartermaster corps.

It seemed my friends had much more WWII paraphernalia, and some wore old uniforms, wore battle-worn knapsacks, and bragged that their fathers still had a knife from the war. How lucky could a kid get, I thought to myself.

I never paid much attention to the old boots, but, they, somehow, seemed like his most valued memento from his war days. Despite my mother’s insistence that we throw the old eyesores out, he managed to hang on to those boots.

We only saw him wear the boots when it snowed, and while the rest of us struggled with non-forgiving rubber boots, he slipped on what must have been familiar-feeling boots.

He would tuck in his tailored pants into the worn boots, and, as he stood outside, you could sense the boots transformed him to his days in the Army. We thought the boots looked funny with his pleated pant legs tucked neatly around the tops, but we showed him and the boots the respect they deserved.

As they years passed, the boots were relegated to a corner in our furnace room. Each year, they became more weathered and worn, finally approaching what looked to

be an unwearable condition.

The boots were there on Christmas Eve 1960 when he died unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. My mother always believed my father’s time in the Army contributed to his early demise, and the boots became a reminder of that sad reality; but, somehow, they survived and remained tucked in that corner, undisturbed.

Decades later I returned to my mother’s house to change the filter on the furnace, and noticed that the boots were no longer there. I didn’t ask. I didn’t have to. I was convinced the boots had finally received their just reward from my mother.

Years later, when my mother passed, my daughter and I were cleaning out an old jewelry box and discovered all of those old medals we wore as children tucked away in a small pouch. The fact she had saved the faded silver and gold bars, the brightly colored decorations from the campaigns in which he served and the numerous patches from his uniforms surprised me.

METRO CREATIVE It shouldn’t have.

I realized that because those things were important to my father, they were valuable to my mother, an important memento of a span in his life.

I immediately thought of those boots and had a degree of lament as I considered their fate.

Years later, the furnace finally quit and had to be replaced and I went by the house to watch as workers removed the old furnace. After much banging and tearing, the old behemoth surrendered.

The old furnace room was empty for the first time in my lifetime, and sitting from what must have been a position behind the old furnace were those old boots.

I surmised that my mother garnered the fortitude to move the boots, but couldn’t bring herself to throw them out.

The boots now sit in my closet, and, hopefully, someone will take the care to preserve them once that cleanout takes place.

As beaten as they are, they are precious to me because they were important to my father and eventually important to my mother.

And that makes them priceless to me.

Changes needed to make schools safer Dear Editor, Given the recent incidents of school violence, let us hope that Powhatan is considering ways to keep the schools safe and present a good learning environment for our student population.

First and foremost, parents need to do a better job of parenting and watching for “red flags” in their own children’s behavior. Perhaps, restricting or monitoring internet and video game usage would be a start. Teachers and guidance counselors need to have specific training to help in spotting signs of future troubled behavior. Students must see a guidance counselor on a regular basis. For this to be effective, regular communication must occur among groups of teachers and staff who can compare observations. If someone sees something, he/she must say something.

Next, each Powhatan school should have at least two resource officers in the building at all times. We can use full-time deputy sheriffs as we do now, plus volunteers who have been well vetted and trained by the sheriff.

These volunteers will be armed. How many military veterans would stand up and be counted? Also the number of entrances into the school buildings must be limited. Security experts could recommend how to achieve this. Perhaps metal detectors or random bag searches could be used at entrances. Conduct regular active shooter drills accompanied by regular training of all teachers and staff on campus.

Third, if there is not already one, pass a law that makes parents legally responsible for the action of their under-age children who are found guilty of using or handling a firearm in an unlawful manner. If there are youngsters in the family, guns in the home should be locked up.

If there is added cost to accomplish these three things, who would object?

In another moving section of the program marine Gerald Buckner did a presentation to honor the fallen and Cody Hinson played Taps on the trumpet.

Young spent a good portion of his speech describing his time during the Vietnam War. He was drafted in 1968 but allowed to finish his neurosurgery training. He was sent to Vietnam in 1969 and spent most of his time with the 312th Evacuation Hospital.

“The doctors I was privileged to serve with were the best doctors in the world. They didn’t want to wear uniforms and polish their shoes, but they could take care of patients and they could take care of patients very well,” he said.

He said he spent a year caring for more than 600 patients with head injuries and another 50 patients with spinal injuries. He described surgically removing the shrapnel from missiles and booby traps from soldiers’ brains and the damage they wrought. As a doctor, he saw and learned a great deal, he said.

“I can honestly tell you I learned more medicine in one year there than I learned in four years of medical school. I learned more surgical technique and got more experience in my year there than I did in a four year residency in my training in Cleveland,” he said. “That is why they always say war is horrible, it’s terrible, but it’s great for surgeons. Surgeons learn to operate and learn to take care of a lot of casualties.”

Vietnam was a place like no other, Young said,

from the bad weather in the monsoon season to the seemingly invisible enemy who was fighting a guerilla war and had the patience to do it.

Young talked about the soldiers he met, many of whom he ended up treating. Some made spectacular recoveries. Some went home in body bags. Some never made it home and are still missing today.

Fast forwarding to 2018 and what is going on now, Young talked about the rampant epidemic taking the lives of far too many veterans: suicide. He talked about the devastating effect on the mind and body of military personnel who make it home but bring the war with them.

“The cost of war goes on forever,” Young said.

Young also called four teens in the audience up to the stage, including his two grandsons, and said they are the future of this nation.

“I hope and pray our children and grandchildren will never have to shed blood on any battlefield,” he said.

Young also introduced his daughter, Melissa

Huguenot Springs Cemetery Every year, the Huguenot Springs Cemetery Memorial Day Service breathes energy and reverence into traditions that allow those present to honor the men who fought and died as part of the Confederate Army. Those traditions continued uninterrupted this year with activities such as the singing of “Carry me Back to Old Virginny” by all present; special tribute offered by the Virginia Scots Guard Pipes and Drums and the General W.C. Wickham Camp #2250 Color Guard; a laying of wreaths from various groups in Virginia and beyond; and a three cannon artillery salute offered by Knibb’s Battery, Artillery Regiment, 1st Division A.N.V. Keynote speaker Larry Nordvig focused his speech, titled “Worth Remembering,” on the relevance of Memorial Day. From his first words, Nordvig set the scene of the gruesome reality of war.

He described the situation as it might have been experienced by a soldier in the Civil War, whether it was chafing in a wool uniform

under the hot Virginia sun, the sound and heat of muzzles erupting all around him, or the shock to his system of a cannonball exploding nearby, knocking him into oblivion.

“Later, the awakening, the pain, the shock, the anger, the sorrow, and sense of failure hit you all at once.

You endure the unspeakable sufferings of the field hospital, then still further, the long, agonizing, jolting ambulance ride in a converted farm wagon on your way here, to Huguenot Springs.

Your last stop on the way to eternity. That was the reality of many whom we remember here today, on this day of memory, Memorial Day,” Nordvig said, referring to the estimated 250 Confederate soldiers buried in the cemetery.

Being there, one could ask the question what can people today learn from the men buried there, how the situation came to the point of war, and how the two sides could reconcile when it was all over.

Nordvig said he likes the complexity of history.

Rather than the “cleansed version of the Civil War” where “thanks to Abraham Lincoln, the northern armies swept into the south, defeated those mean ‘ol southerners, freed the slaves, and saved the Union.”

Instead, he offered a version of history in 1860 in America that was more complex and had issues such as rapid technological progress, even more rapidly changing demographics, immigration, interior migration, overreach of the

federal government, congressional factions battling for power and money, wages and job concerns, states rebelling against federal directives, demonizing of opponents, and failure to compromise. He then drew a comparison to America in 1860 and today.

But for Nordvig, the question of why those men fought often came back to one word: home.

“North and South had vastly diverse cultures. One wished to impose their culture, their way of life, on the other. They moved too aggressively. They didn’t allow events to unfold in their natural course. They threatened Home. The result was war,” he said.

Today, Confederate statues and monuments have been taken down both legally and illegally and calls have been made to erase signs of other controversial historical times and figures, he said.

He closed with a story about two brothers who fought on opposite sides of the war but reconciled shortly before they died, both having been wounded in the same battle and ultimately unable to recover from their wounds. One man initially refused to see the other but relented when he saw his brother and was offered a smile.

“In this residue of war, each died for his cause. But, before they died, they discovered a profound truth. A smile can stop a civil war.

And, when one has the courage to offer and outstretched hand, and the other accepts it, brotherhood is restored,” Nordvig said.

Powhatan’s softball team poses with the Region 4B trophy for the third season in a row after a 9-6 win over Dinwiddie on May 31 at Powhatan High School. The Indians defeated the Generals for the second consecutive season to win the region crown.

Indians softball wins third straight region title

By Ellis Hopson Contributing Writer

P

owhatan High School’s softball team took a significant step on the journey of its season when it recently captured the Region 4B title with a 9-6 victory over Dinwiddie.

The title was the Lady Indians’ thirdstraight region crown, a testament to the team’s consistency over several seasons.

However, for this game, the focus was on the moment at hand and how the season had prepared them for it.

The Indians displayed the poise and resiliency they have been crafting since day one in their win over the Generals.

After a scoreless first inning, Dinwiddie threatened in the top of the second,

hitting back-to-back singles and using a deep flyout to set up runners on the corners with two outs.

However, a clutch strikeout by senior pitcher Mason Basdikis kept the game scoreless.

The Indians’ offense responded to the scare in the bottom of the inning. A double by junior Lindsey Elam was bookended by singles from seniors Teri Jackson and Taylor Dickerson, loading the bases with one out.

A single from junior Autumn Lederman drove in the first run of the day to open the scoring for Powhatan.

The game was blown open during the next at-bat, when sophomore Madeline Peloke smacked a triple into the outfield that brought home the remaining three

runners.

Powhatan held a 4-0 lead after two full innings.

“We came out offensively and got ahead. I thought that was great as far as momentum for us,” Powhatan coach Marie Crump said of the offensive spark.

The Generals did not go quietly, however.

They started to claw their way back into the game in the top of the third inning, thanks in part to defensive errors committed by the Indians.

After the first batter was struck out, two Dinwiddie hitters reached base on back-to-back singles.

A fielding error at second base allowed the lead runner to advance from second to third, and a second error al-

lowed the runner to score for the first run by the Generals.

Powhatan escaped from the inning with minimal damage thanks to a pop out at second base.

The Indians’ bats responded in the bottom of the frame.

A fielding error at first allowed sophomore Rileigh DeWeese to get on base, before a double by Jackson advanced DeWeese to third.

A pair of RBI singles by Dickerson and Lederman scored a total of three more runs for Powhatan, extending the lead to 7-1 before the inning was over.

The top of the fourth inning brought more trouble for the Indians defensively, see SOFTBALL, pg. 3B

Powhatan baseball falls to Dinwiddie in region final

Powhatan’s Nick Rini hit a solo home run against Dinwiddie, which tied the game at 3-3 at the time. The Indians would lose 11-5.

Powhatan’s baseball team faced a familiar postseason foe in the Region 4B championship game at Powhatan High School on May 31.

The Indians had faced the Dinwiddie Generals in the Conference 20 playoffs last season.

While the result was the same in a Dinwiddie win, this one being 11-5, the consequences of the loss were very different this time around.

By reaching the region championship game, the Indians had already clinched a berth in the Class 4 state playoffs, which began on June 5.

The loss to Dinwiddie ended Powhatan’s 16-game win streak and was the first loss of the season that the Indians had suffered in the state of Virginia.

“We just didn’t play very well tonight,” coach Gregg Conner said. “We weren’t very sharp. It just the way it is.”

The Generals jumped right on Powhatan in the top of the first inning.

Dinwiddie knocked in runs with a triple and back-to-back singles to jump ahead 3-0 in the top of the first inning.

The scoring outburst also chased Powhatan’s starter Tommy Preston for reliever Zach Tillery.

Pocahontas MS girls track continues title dominance

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

I

n any sport, winning 14 out of 15 of anything, whether it is games or matchups or faceoffs or anything else, is quite difficult to do.

But, the Pocahontas Middle School girls track team has continued its dominance year after year and 2018 was no different.

The team won its 14th title out of the last 15 years at the Southside Middle School Conference meet on April 28.

Pocahontas scored 101 points in the meet, defeating Prince Edward’s 79.5 and Bluestone’s 70.5.

Track coach and Athletic Director Bill Wasosky said that the

school has had a lot of good athletes come through over the years.

“They commit to it,” he said.

“They want to be better every meet and every practice. The girls buy into the system and it works.”

Earlier in the season, the team competed at Prince Edward and was missing several of their key athletes that day.

Pocahontas lost that meet and it served as a wake-up call of sorts for the team.

“After that, we started working on some things after spring break,” he said. “It all worked out.”

Wasosky also pointed out his assistant coaches as huge reasons for the team’s success this

season. Jean Wood coaches the distance runners and Kellen Keys handles the throwing athletes.

Rebecca Stevens won the 800 meters with a 2:54. Kaitlyn Rissmeyer was fifth in that event with a time of 3:02.

Faith Henderson won the high jump with a mark of 5 feet.

Jaila Scott was fourth in that event with a mark of 4 feet, 4 inches.

Wasosky said that Henderson’s mark was both a new school and conference record.

“That was pretty amazing,” he said.

Henderson was also second in the 400 with a time of 1:07.7.

Hanna Vosburg was third in that event with a 1:08 and Rachael

Wade was fifth with a 1:15.8.

“She holds our hurdle record,” Wasosky said. “She’s such a hard worker.”

The 4x400 relay team won their event with a time of 4:51.

Reagan Hansen won the 1600 meters with a 6:06. Rebecca Ray was second in that event with a 6:07 and Rissmeyer was fourth with a 6:30.

Shaniece Morris finished third in the 100 meters with a time of 14.3.

“She’s the second-best sprinter I’ve ever coached,” Wasosky said of Morris. “She’s pretty amazing.”

Morris was also fifth in the 200 with a 28.9. She was also seventh in the long jump with a 12-foot, 3 ¾-inch leap.

Jayla Scott was sixth in the 100 with a 14.4.

The 4x200 meter relay team was third overall with a time of 2:01.3.

Catherine Griffin was third in the shot put with a throw of 29 feet, 8 inches.

Vosburg was fourth in the 100 hurdles with an 18.5.

Despite a class that will graduate several top athletes from the team, Wasosky said that the team will just reload for next year.

“We’re losing a lot of pointgetters for us,” he said. “We’re confident, though. We have some really good distance runners.

We’ve always have some kids who come out of nowhere who contribute. It will be a challenging year to start from.”

Then, Painter sent a ground ball to the Dinwiddie shortstop, who couldn’t handle the ball and Eike scored on the error to make it 3-2.

In the bottom of the third inning, Powhatan set up shop early after Amiss sent a shot to right field for a double and Willis singled.

But, Beil grounded into a double play and Eike struck out to end the inning.

In the fourth inning, however, Powhatan was able to take the lead.

Nick Rini led off the inning with a home run to dead-centerfield to tie the game at 3-3.

Tymothy Hart reached with a single and Hop-

kins singled to put runners on first and second.

Church walked two batters later to load the bases and a run scored on a fielder’s choice from Amiss to make it 4-3 Powhatan.

But, the next inning saw the lead swing decisively back to Dinwiddie.

The Generals sent 12 batters to the plate in the top of the fifth inning and scored eight of them.

Tomas Sanchez of Dinwiddie had a two-run home run and a 3-RBI double in the inning.

After that, the Indians were only able to score one more run, in the bottom of the seventh inning, when Rini knocked in Willis on a single to make it 11-5.

While the Indians had two on base with just one out, a fly out and a strikeout ended the inning and the heroics of the semifinal would not be repeated.

All told, the Indians left 10 runners on base against Dinwiddie.

As region champions, Dinwiddie hosted its first round game of the state playoffs, while Powhatan hit the road and faced off against Grafton.

“You never want to lose,” Conner said. “But, our focus now is on the next one. I’m not down on them and they can’t be down on themselves.”

“This group has worked hard,” Conner said of the state tournament berth. “Alot of them have been here for four years. They just keep battling and battling. They just don’t give up.”

The result of the Class 4 state quarterfinal game between Powhatan and Grafton occurred past the deadline for this edition.

Powhatan’s baseball team piles on Hunter Hopkins in celeberation at first base at Powhatan High School on May 29 after Hopkins delivered a tworun single for a walkoff win for the Indians over Hanover.

Hopkins’ heroics leads Powhatan’s semifinal action

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

It is the situation every player wants to be in.

Down by two runs, in the bottom of the final inning, with the winning run on base and the chance to bring home that run to win the game for your team.

That’s exactly the situation that presented itself to Powhatan’s Hunter Hopkins.

And, Hopkins delivered.

Hopkins took the first pitch he saw from Hanover relief pitcher Nicholas Zona and put it in left field, scoring Jacob Beil and Tanner Ritt to lift the Indians to a come-frombehind 6-5 walk off win over the Hawks in the Region 4B semifinals at Powhatan High School on May 29.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a situation like that, personally,” Hopkins said. “I knew they would throw strikes and I knew they’d give me one to hit.

I was just really excited for that opportunity.”

Hopkins was 3 for 4 for the Indians in the semifinal, which is a valuable bat to have in the number nine

with a familiar story.

Back-to-back singles by the Generals put runners on base, before errors at second and in right field allowed them to score.

“We made some uncharacteristic errors, but after we made them we didn’t put our heads down or let up and made the plays at the end,” Crump said. “I was pleased.”

Powhatan’s offense responded once again in the bottom of the fourth, starting with back-to-back singles from DeWeese and senior Tori Gilbert.

This time it was Elam who drove in two runs to stretch the Indians’ lead to 9-3.

Dinwiddie stayed within shouting distance

runs on the board against Hanover on May 29.

Led by a three-run home run by Tori Gilbert in the first inning, Powhatan rolled to a 9-2 win over the Hawks in the region semifinal.

Mason Basdikis opened the bottom of the first with a single, followed by Sami Pleasants reaching on an error.

Basdikis had advanced to third on the single by Pleasants and Pleasants advanced to second with a stolen base.

Then, Gilbert took an offering from Hanover pitcher Leslie Currie over the wall in centerfield to make it 3-0 Indians.

In the second, the flood gates opened up for the Indians offense.

Taylor Dickerson reached on an error to open the inning, followed

by Autumn Lederman and Katlyn Mayo reaching on singles to load the bases.

Basdikis then doubled, scoring Dickerson and Lederman to make it 5-0 Indians.

Pleasants cleared the bases with a triple, which SOFTBALL scored Mayo and BasdiPowhatan’s softball team kis and it was 7-0 Indians. wasted no time in getting Pleasants would score

batting position.

The Indians were down 5-2 to Hanover entering the seventh inning. Overall, Powhatan had hit Hanover ace Jack Dragum, a University of Virginia commit, very well, but had left a lot of runners on base.

Powhatan had stranded eight runners over the first six innings, despite racking up 11 hits against Dragum.

Matthew Church led the seventh inning off with a double. Dragum exited the game due to hitting his pitch limit and Camden Grimes took the mound.

Logan Amiss flew out to right field, but Cody Willis reached on an error and Church scored.

Jacob Beil worked a walk, followed by Brandon Eike doubling Willis home to make it 5-4.

Tymothy Hart struck out for the second out.

Then Hopkins strolled to the plate.

“I just told him to get a fastball and go hit,” coach Gregg Conner said of his advice to Hopkins.

After he made contact with the ball, Hopkins didn’t even keep track of

where it landed.

“I don’t remember it, really,” he said. “I knew I made contact and that was it and next thing I knew, everyone was on top of me at first base.”

Hopkins, a switch hitter, had never batted lefthanded for the Indians prior to this season.

“He played with it, but had never done it in a game,” Conner said.

“Then he came in this year and said he was going switch hit.”

Hopkins has hit mostly left-handed this season.

He estimated he’s taken 90-percent of his swings from that side of the plate.

That approach has led to around a .350 batting average this season.

The game lifted Powhatan to a state tournament berth and a spot in the region final.

“It was a great ballgame against a really good Hanover baseball team,” Conner said. “They’re well coached and a great program. It was a good baseball game.”

in the top of the fifth, scoring on a home run to make it 9-4 before Basdikis managed to retire the side.

An uneventful sixth inning set the stage for Powhatan to close out the win heading to the seventh with the five-run lead.

After a walk put a runner on first base, a two-run homer by the next Dinwiddie batter caused palms to get a bit sweaty as the Generals closed to within three runs.

The pitcher-catcher tandem of Basdikis and Jackson used their poise to close the door on Dinwiddie and seal the win, and Crump commended the Indians’ defensive effort.

“Coming into the game, we knew that Dinwiddie was going to hit the ball,” she said. “We
