Large crowd voices concerns about possible landfill

By Laura McFarland News Editor

CUMBERLAND – Emotions ran high last week at an almost three-hour community meeting as residents from two counties came with questions, concerns and outright anger about a landfill being proposed in Cumberland County near the Powhatan County border.

The meeting, which was held the evening of Thursday, June 7 at Cumberland Elementary School, drew at least 250 people from Cumberland and Powhatan counties and beyond.

They came to both listen and be heard regarding a proposal to build Green Ridge Recycling and Disposal Facility on the far eastern side of Cumberland County, just north of Route 60 at its intersection with State Route 654. It would be developed between State Route 654 and State

the company that will own and operate the landfill, took over and started its presentation.

But only a few minutes into senior vice president Jerry Cifor’s portion of the presentation, the first interruption expressing displeasure with building the landfill was voiced and joined by a chorus of others. This trend would continue for much of the meeting, as frustrated and angry residents continually interrupted first the presentation and then the question and answer session that followed.

The statements ran the gamut from questions to concerns to personal stories to residents outright telling County Waste of Virginia to take its business elsewhere.

They ranged from a couple who had closed on their new house a day before many in the public became aware of the proposed landfill all the way up to people see LANDFILL, pg. 2

Partnerships help improve dogs’ time with animal control

POWHATAN – One of the main goals of Powhatan Animal Control deputies is to make the animals in their care as comfortable as possible until they are returned to their owners, taken in by a rescue or find a new forever home.

But while their essential needs – food, water, shelter, medical care – are always met, operating a busy shelter with a small staff means they can’t always dole out all of the attention they would like to shower on the animals in their care, said Sgt. Christine Boczar.

That is a big reason she works so hard to build collaborations with other regional organizations aimed at giving the animals who come to the Powhatan shelter not only a little

extra tender loving care but also a better chance of finding a new home.

Those chances might have improved even more thanks to a new pilot program the shelter is

trying as a partnership between it, Ring Dog Rescue and Canine Adventure, Boczar said.

For about 10 years, one of the biggest outside resources at the shelter’s disposal was volunteers certified through Ring Dog Rescue, a rescue group dedicated to “pit bull type dogs” that helps or links to other groups. Animal control doesn’t have enough staff to allow and monitor volunteers through its program, so the only volunteers it allows to work with the animals are those trained and insured through Ring Dog Rescue.

Using donations that come into Ring Dog, the nonprofit has begun paying to have an employee of Canine Adventure, a professional dog care provider service, come out each Friday and work with the dogs. see ANIMAL, pg. 5

O B I T UA R I E S MATTHEW BRAME Matthew "Matt" David Brame, 31, died suddenly at his home in Sandston, on Monday, June 4, 2018. He was born August 11, 1986 and resided in Midlothian and Powhatan for most of his childhood. Matt was a gifted musician with the natural ability to play many instruments from a very young age, but he gravitated to the acoustic guitar and mastered the Suzuki method of classical guitar. Matt was also a math and numbers genius and could talk for hours about how BRAME things worked and why. He loved computers, and was a whiz at IT. He had a generous, loving heart and attended Atlee Community Church regularly with his mother. His family is devastated at this loss. Matt is survived by his mother, Debra Lynn Bahen and her husband, Danny Bahen; his father, David Brame (Beverly); and his two sisters, Jessica Erin Brame and Jennifer Brame Boettigheimer (Michael). He also leaves grandparents, Betty Dipboye, Doris Brame; aunts and uncles, Donna Dipboye Spurrier, Don Spurrier, Douglas Dipboye (Heather), Donna Brame; niece/nephew, Brianna Lara and Kai Martinez;

who had lived on their land for decades and had hoped it would be the final place they called home.

At one point, Cumberland Sheriff Darrell Hodges had to urge the somewhat volatile crowd to let the company representatives talk and then they would have their time to speak as well. Several times he went and individually talked to people who were especially heated and often speaking out of turn.

On the company’s part, representatives acknowledged that while nobody wants a landfill in their backyard, they are a necessary part of modern society. In the face of the constant expressing of fears, concerns, arguments, representatives for the company offered promises and assurances that they would run an exemplary operation if they get the go ahead to build in Cumberland.

But many in the audience rejected the assurances and some even called others to rally together to figure out a way to stop the landfill from being approved.

Although all five members of the Cumberland County Board of Supervisors were present and it was presented as an official meeting, no action was taken on County Waste of Virginia’s request to rezone almost 1,200 acres to Industrial (M-2) and grant a conditional use permit (CUP).

Instead, those two applications will be on the agendas as public hearings for the Cumberland Coun-

ty Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors this month. The planning commission will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 14 at Cumberland Elementary School, 60 School Road. The board of supervisors will meet at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 28 at the elementary school.

Green Ridge The bulk of the presentation about Green Ridge was given by Cifor and Lynn Klappich, waste resources engineering program manager with Draper Aden Associates.

One of the first points Cifor made was that County Waste of Virginia currently does not own its own landfill in Virginia, so this would be its first and is one the company needs to service the waste needs of its customers in Central Virginia. He said there are three landfills in Central Virginia likely to close in the next five to seven years, causing disposal rates to go up significantly without good alternatives.

“This would be our first landfill within the state of Virginia. Right now we are dependent on our competitors’ disposal facilities, which is not an ideal situation. So, we are really building this facility to serve our needs in Virginia,” he said.

The fact that the company has never had its own landfill was repeatedly brought up by residents who questioned how they could trust the lack of track record. Cifor argued that they could trust the combined years of experience of employees in the industry.

Cifor gave an overview

cousins, Meredith (Spurrier) Herrera, Molly (Spurrier) Tyndall, Madison Dipboye, Davis Dipboye, Gabe Dipboye, Wells Dipboye, Brice Harrington and Lindsey Harrington. He was preceded by his grandfathers, Jess Jardin Dipboye, a loved and respected TV personality of Richmond, and J.W. Brame of Clarksville. Matthew also leaves his best friend of 20 years, Todd Henderson, who had been a friend throughout all of life's challenges and he will miss Matt so very much. The family wishes to thank Dr. George Bright, who had been his physician, mentor and friend since 2009. A memorial service was held at 11 a.m. on Monday, June 11 at Bennett Funeral Home, 11020 West Broad Street, Glen Allen.

SALLY SILVEY Sally Montgomery Silvey of Midlothian and Irvington, formerly of Powhatan, died at her daughter's home on Tuesday, June 5, 2018. Sally, also affectionately known as "Mama" to her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, was born on February 3, 1938. She was preceded in death by her husband, Mayo Singleton Silvey Jr.; and is survived by her sisters, Ann Hogg and Betty Handy; her daughter, Jean Silvey Enroughty and her husband, Wayne, her daughter, Cabell Silvey Cunningham and her husband, Edward; her grandchildren, of the project, including talking about the layout of the two landfill areas making up 500 acres of the larger 1,200-acre property, and the roughly 1 mile long entrance road leading off of Route 60 to allow trucks to queue up without backing up the highway. He also covered the hours; staffing about 30 employees at the landfill; the $9 million investment in equipment on the road and at the facility; paying for the county to hire a landfill monitor; turn lanes from both directions; and lighting on the extended entrance and on the facility to minimize impact on neighbors.

The noise limit the company agreed to was 67 decibels at the edge of the property, “which is equivalent to your dishwasher running in your house,” Cifor said. Cifor talked about the odor control measures the site will use, including not allowing the disposal of wall board or sludge; covering the waste daily and possibly using odor neutralizing agents.

Regulating the landfill Klappich also spoke about the large amount of regulations and guidelines the landfill would be subject to meeting.

“A landfill is a highly engineered, highly sophisticated, highly regulated facility. It is not a hole in the ground. It is not like they were 30 or 40 years ago. There is a whole host of regulations Green Ridge will have to meet in order to operate this landfill,” she assured the audience.

Klappich talked about

Other insurance companies just see a car, but I see something that really matters to you. That deserves the right protection.

It’s why I’m here.

the design of the landfill, which would be lined with a 60 mils (0.06 inches) HDPE membrane, a drainage layer to capture water that enters the fill area (called leachate) and a compacted clay liner.

Leachate collected from the facility will be transmitted to permitted tanks and treated as permitted.

When a landfill reaches capacity, another membrane cap goes on it to prevent any further infiltration into the landfill to minimize the leachate and gas production.

As soon as the trash begins to accumulate, an active gas extraction system would be installed to withdraw the gas being produced and use it beneficially to make electricity, she said.

Landfill permitting and construction is a lengthy process that takes anywhere from 18 to 30 months, Klappich said.

Green Ridge is in the first step of the eight-step process, which is the notice of intent, and includes the local government approving the landfill meets local requirements. The other steps are a hydrogeologic evaluation; technical design; draft permit issued; public comment; final permit issued; construction, and certificate to operate issued.

Klappich also briefly reviewed the post-closure procedures for the landfill when it is closed in an estimated 35 years. She pointed that the company operating the landfill is required by law to assure the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) that it has sufficient funding to close the landfill and carry on the post-closure obligations for a minimum of 30 years.

Cifor closed the presentation by talking about the financial benefits to Cumberland County, including the hosting agreement, tax benefits, job creation with Cumberland residents given preference, and more.

Question and answer With the presentation lasting a little more than 30 minutes, the remaining almost two and a half hours was used to either give people a chance to voice their concerns or asks questions of the company. The meeting covered a wide range of topics. Because of the large number in attendance and the fact not everyone identified themselves before speaking, the names of

Lucy Block Rimington and her husband, Caulin, Michele Block Norrington and her husband, Brett, David Silvey Block, Patrick O'Brien Cunningham, Catherine MacRae Cunningham and Eileen Mayo Cunningham; her great-grandchildren, Hadley Jean and Charley Alexander Rimington; and stepgrandchildren, SILVEY Allie Enroughty, Price Enroughty and his wife, Cabot, and Garrett Enroughty. Sally graduated from Collegiate and then attended the University of Mary Washington. Sally's primary passion was raising her children, her nieces and nephews and later devoting her time to her grandchildren. Sally was an active member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church. Sally was responsible for forming the first children's choir, was a soloist in the choir, and acted as treasurer of the St. Luke's Endowment funds for many years. A memorial service was held at 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 10 at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 2245 Huguenot Trail, Powhatan. A reception followed at the home of Sally and Gray Schmidt at 3210 Bourbon Lane, Powhatan. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the St. Luke's Heritage Endowment Fund. some people aren’t listed.

Here are a few of the highlights of the meeting: Bill Bruce of Cumberland told the crowd that the only chance residents have of stopping the landfill was to get an injunction on the decision to call for a referendum so Cumberland’s residents can decide.

One woman asked about the wetlands, which Klappich said had to be permitted but couldn’t give many specifics because the final design is still being created. She said the company would work with the Army Corps of Engineers soon to work on the delineation. A company can disrupt wetlands, but there is a prescribed permitting process with the army corps and there are creeks that will have to be protected. She said the company is working to give the wetlands more of a buffer than the DEQ requires to protect it.

William Shewmake, a land use attorney and partner at LeClair Ryan, which is representing Green Ridge, talked about the traffic impact statement done by the company. He pointed out the previous landfill approved in Cumberland that never began operations was approved at up to 7,500 tons of trash coming in a day, while County Waste of Virginia would have a maximum of 5,000 tons a day. He projected about 250 trucks coming into the landfill daily over a 24-hour period.

Bryant Gammon, a traffic engineer and president of Highmark Engineering, talked about the turn lanes for the facility.

The company intends to put in 200-foot turn lanes coming from both the east and the west.

Regarding the height of the landfill, Cifor said that by its closure the trash would be about 250 feet high and it also goes down about 20 to 30 feet in the lined landfill hole.

Nearby landowners who will be affected range from a man who said he closed on his new house on Brown road the day before the landfill became well known to a woman who said her elderly mother has lived on her property nearby for more than 50 years. The woman was also the first of many that night who asked how many of the company representatives have to live next to a landfill.

Ralph Earnhardt of Powhatan talked about the

large number of other vehicles the dump trucks would be sharing the road with, including Luck Stone work trucks and school buses. He raised concerns about the risk of everyone on the road and the impact on Route 60.

The timing of the process leading up to last week’s meeting was brought up repeatedly as so much work had gone on behind the scenes for anywhere from six to nine months. Many residents were angered that they would find out only as the issue is about to go before the planning commission and the board of supervisors.

Cifor explained he started looking for land for the landfill two years ago and his search took the bulk of that time. Of the 1,143 acres that will make up the facility, County Waste of Virginia has only purchased about 230 acres from property owners who were insistent. The rest of the land is optioned.

In regard to the secrecy before the landfill news went public, Shewmake added that the company also wanted to have more specificity when it brought the issue to the local government and the community rather than vague ideas.

One woman pointed out that the company representatives are taking a lot of heat from those present but added that many of the residents in the room are extremely worried about their properties. She said she has been a Cumberland resident for 25 years and has her life savings tied up in her property. “It’s all I’ve got,” she said.

Klappich addressed concerns about wells and surface water saying that the hydrogeologic evaluation would identify all water sources within a certain radius of the landfill as well as the water that flows beneath the landfill itself and how it could impact those sources.

Decreasing property values was a worry expressed throughout the meeting. Cifor said that the company would be willing to speak with any adjacent Cumberland County property owners whose properties are next to the landfill.

Melinda White said she and her husband moved from Kansas City to Cumberland and took three years to build their house right across the see LANDFILL, pg. 9

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office recently released that it had received calls from a few local banks reporting a suspected skimmer at a local gas station.

To date, the sheriff’s office has only found one skimmer at a Powhatan gas station, which was Henry’s Market, Detective Arthur “Rudy” Gregory said in an email he shared with the department and the Powhatan Today. The skimmer suspects don’t usually hang around long or use the same station very long.

“The skimmer device was inside the pump attached to the back of the credit card reader. There was no way of knowing the skimmer was there unless you have a key to open the pump such as servicing it or changing receipt paper,” he wrote. “That skimmer was about the size of a thumb drive and had few wires and was spliced into the machine.”

When speaking with the maintenance company for the pumps, after the

School board recognizes support staff and volunteers Contributed Report Public school divisions are most successful when all employees and members of the community invest their energy toward the common goal of excellence for greater learning. The yearly recognition of both support staff and volunteers is one way school division employees can celebrate excellence.

PCPS staff in each building nominate support staff for this recognition using the criteria below. The principal and a small committee then review all the nominees and select the Support Staff of the Year.

Some of the criteria is that the individual carries out duties and responsibilities crucial to the

smooth running of the school that would otherwise have to be undertaken by leadership staff and teachers; frequently demonstrates he/she has the best interests of the school and its community at heart, often going beyond the call of duty; and is flexible and adaptable, frequently multitasks, problem solves, and is proactive. Additionally, support staff who worked with teachers and students in teaching and learning contexts are also recognized for providing essential support that facilitated improved learning and other outcomes for students.

Using the same staff nominations to principal selection committee, the volunteer nomination process is open to all

The Volunteer of the Year uses his or her unique talents to serve others, has a strong ethic of ser-

skimmer is installed it can be wirelessly downloaded so the device can almost be a thrown away or left there until found, Gregory said.

The device the sheriff’s office found was sent to the lab but didn’t yield any information.

Generally the people placing the skimmers use the pumps farthest away from the store and often not a franchise because of the low surveillance visibility, Gregory said. Also, it is more common over the weekends and then reported on Monday. By then they’ve made several transactions and move to the next victim or stations.

Some of the pumps here in the county have an integrity seal, but there is no promise or guarantee that they will have them, Gregory said.

“When checking the pump during business hours most of the stores in the county are more than happy to open up the credit card section just to make sure nothing has been placed on the pumps,” he said. “I also pull on the part where you actually put the credit card in because some devices just slide over the existing reader.”

Amateur Radio “Field Day” to demonstrate science, skill, service Contributed Report Members of the Powhatan Area Radio Club (PARC) will be participating in the national Amateur Radio Field Day exercise for 24 hours non-stop starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 23 through 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 24 at Fighting Creek Park, 2505 Mann Road in Powhatan.

Since 1933, ham radio operators across North America have established temporary ham radio stations in public locations during Field Day to showcase the science and skill of amateur radio. This event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend. This will be the second year that PARC has participated in this nationwide communications exercise.

For more than 100 years, amateur radio — sometimes called ham radio — has allowed people from all walks of life to experiment with electronics and communications techniques, as well as provide a free public service to their communities during a disaster, all without needing a cell phone or the Internet. Field Day demonstrates ham radio’s ability to work reliably under any conditions from almost any location and create an independent communications network.

Over 35,000 people from thousands of locations participated in Field Day in 2017.

“Hams can literally throw a wire in a tree for an antenna, connect it to a battery-powered transmitter and communicate halfway around the world,” said Jim Merritt, KK4IUH, “Hams do this by using a layer of Earth’s atmosphere as a sort of mirror for radio waves. In today’s electronic do-ityourself (DIY) environment, ham radio remains one of the best ways for people to learn about electronics, physics, meteorology, and numerous other scientific disciplines, and is a huge asset to any community during disasters if the standard communication infrastructure goes down.”

Members of the Powhatan club will be on hand to answer questions about amateur radio, demonstrate the equipment being used, and even allow you to make a call across the country yourself.

Anyone may become a licensed amateur radio operator. There are more than 725,000 licensed hams in the United States, as young as 5 and as old as 100. And with clubs such as the Powhatan Area Radio Club, it’s easy for anybody to get involved right here in Powhatan County.

Each week, all the dogs in the shelter receive an adventure walk and photo session. This program aims to get the dogs out for exercise all while finding out more about them so that the shelter can highlight those available for adoption and their personality traits, said A.K. Taylor, Ring Dog Rescue president and co-founder.

Knowing more about the dog’s personality helps match it to an appropriate home where it will thrive.

“We want people to adopt but we also want people to adopt the right dog for their home,” she said.

Ring Dog Rescue identified Powhatan County Animal Control as a possible partner many years ago because it did not have a great deal of foot traffic and they had limited resources, as most jurisdictional shelters have, Taylor said. So Ring Dog organizers decided to help them and found the staff in Powhatan very open to the offer.

For one, people who wanted to help the shelter but couldn’t be allowed to as volunteers for the county could now help firsthand as a member of Ring Dog. These trained volunteers give the dogs “spa days” complete with baths and nail care, transport them to appointments or to a rescue group, or do evaluations. Another effort is

the Popsicles for Pups program. Ring Dog provided a chest freezer that is used to create frozen treats filled with only good things: peanut butter, vegetables, kibble, treats, broth, and water, which volunteers then hand out to the dogs in the participating shelters. Ring Dog also offers the program in Richmond City and Amelia and Chesterfield counties.

“It helps us out because it gives the dogs more interaction with the public. It gets them out and keeps them from getting depressed. They get kennel crazy from being stuck in that environment for days on end,” said Boczar, who added that staff does watch out for them, but if the shelter is full and they “only have one person here doing cleaning, that is only one for 16 dogs.”

Taylor pointed out that each employee at a shelter, whether they are an officer or a kennel tech, all have assigned jobs. Working within a shelter being an animal control officer, they are out on the road, taking animals to the veterinarian, conducting investigations and much more.

Likewise, a kennel tech may be responsible for cleaning, feeding, doing paperwork, answering phones and more, she said.

“All of those things take up a large period of the day. Your job is not necessarily to go there to play with animals; you have to give the basic care in the time you are allowed,” Taylor said.

Canine Adventure employee Sarah Waldron lets a dog being held at by Powhatan Animal Control get used to her before going for a walk.

A new adventure The solid partnership with Ring Dog has led to working with Canine Adventure to provide a new enrichment program designed to improve the quality of life of the dogs at the shelter and increase their visibility to the public, Taylor said.

Ring Dog raises money to send a Canine Adventure employee out once a week to help exercise and socialize the dogs, gather more information on each one and take photographs, “which I think has increased their adoptions or visibility of the animals out there and gotten them either adopted or into a rescue,” Taylor said.

Ring Dog raises the money to pay for the adventure walks because the employee needs to travel to the place and is taking out an average of seven to 10 animals each week, which takes up quite a bit of time, Taylor said.

Taylor said the program started in early 2018 and is going well, so it doesn’t seem like it would be discontinued unless there be-

came some sort of issue.

That means the biggest need with that particular program is the donations.

For more information on donating, visit ringdogrescue.org.

While Boczar said she hopes the shelter can start its own volunteer program next year, currently, if somebody is interested in volunteering with Powhatan Animal Control, the best thing to do is to send an email to Ring Dog Rescue at ringdog@ringdogrescue. org stating that they are interested in helping in Powhatan. There is a volunteer application process so they can be approved through Ring Dog Rescue.

“I think personally, and I think from Ring Dog Rescue’s point of view, we are super proud of shelters like Powhatan Animal Shelter because they do a very good job with the resources they have and they are very good at partnering and reaching out,” Taylor said. “These are the things we want all shelters to do so each animal does have the chance and the ability to find its home.”

It’s not too late to plant great Zinnias

By Virginia McCown

Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardener

Question: There’s little to brag about in my garden this season thanks to our cold spring and all that rain! Worse yet my budget is shot. Is there a cheap and quick fix for my bland and colorless plot?

Answer: Yes child, I have a remedy for your backyard Netherworld. But first we must invoke the name of Zinnia, warrior princess of the summer garden.

A summer flower garden requires plants with three basic elements: ease of propagation, heat and drought tolerance, and dazzling color. By planting the zinnia, you too will fall in love with this perky, beautiful warrior.

And it’s not too late to plant zinnias from seed! Zinnias love heat. Planting when the nighttime temperatures are still below 60 degrees, does not please the zinnia. It’s best to postpone sowing seeds until the soil has consistently warmed. In Central Virginia, zinnia seeds can be planted in late May, late June, and even late July.

The zinnia is one of the easiest and most satisfying flowers to grow. It’s considered an annual, meaning that it goes from seed to flower to seed quickly or in one growing season. Annuals grow from seed or reseed themselves every year. Unlike perennials, the zinnia doesn’t need

several seasons to establish itself. The seedlings can pop up within days and zinnia flowers bloom quickly and keep blooming until frost. Beware, however, zinnias require well-drained soil and lots of sun. Don’t select boggy or shady sites.

Brilliant Colors and Varieties Except for blue, zinnias come in nearly every bright and pastel hue. Cultivar names include, Candy Cane, Persian Carpet and Pop Art. There are varieties called daisies, dahlias spiders and quillleaf cactus. The flowers can be "singles," with petals lined up in a row around an open center, semi-doubles, or doubles.

Zinnia elegans, reaching the height of 12 to 14 inches, remains the classic selection for rear borders. Shorter versions called Thumbelina grow a mere six to eight inches tall. There is even a creeping variety, a Mexican native, called Zinnia angustifolia which does well as a ground cover or in containers.

Powdery Mildew: Arch Enemy of Zinnias Zinnias are native to Mexico and southern North America. So they prefer hot and dry weather. A word of caution: a wet summer can prove difficult for the zinnia. Too much moisture causes powdery mildew and leaf spot.

All zinnias are susceptible to mildew.

If and when mildew occurs, try to strip foliage and destroy it to eliminate spores that can further spread mildew.

Help Feed Hungry Kids in Powhatan

METRO CREATIVE

Consider planting mildew resistant varieties. Introduced in 2009, Zahara zinnias top out between eight and 12 inches. Zahara is one of the first varieties to be truly disease resistant. The Starlight Rose won a 2010 AAS (All-America Selections) award.

Like Zaharas, the Profusion Series (hybrids between Z. elegans and Z. angustifolia) are resistant to the scourge of powdery mildew.

Most of the time, zinnias are low maintenance. They don't require much in the way of fertilizing, and they don't need mulching. Since they're fast-growing, they shade out weeds. Although not a native plant, zinnias attract butterflies, pollinators and hummingbirds.

Zinnias Grew in Outer Space!

In January 2016, NASA announced that a zinnia had blossomed on the International Space Station. It was the first flower that ever flourished outside the Earth's biosphere.

Back here on Earth, deadheading will encourage more flowers on your zinnias.

Deadheading is the practice of cutting off flowers after they’ve reached their peak. Regular deadheading stimulates the zinnia to produce more flowers rather than form seeds.

Remember, don’t throw in the towel.

Introduce zinnias to the battle. You won’t regret it.

Don’t forget to soak in the beauty of everyday life

By Laura McFarland News Editor

S

ometimes it’s good to just sit back and soak in the moment.

It was mentioned a few weeks ago in this column that I would be heading to my hometown of Houston, Texas, for a few days for the purpose of attending my nephew Mason’s high school graduation. That went ahead as planned.

It was a great trip as a whole, but there were several moments along the way when I found myself pausing and just thinking, savor this.

The first moment happened at the graduation. A sea of purple caps and gowns filled the arena of the coliseum where Mason’s graduation was held, but, once we found him in the crowd, I couldn’t unsee him and keep looking over at him.

I listened to the speakers and the names being called, and occasionally my attention was drawn to the other graduates and how they were behaving.

With a class of more than 800 students, it probably seemed like a great deal to sit through for some of them. Some looked anxious, some excited, some bored, etc.

Having his name called near the middle of the CONTRIBUTED PHOTO pack, Mason was a combination of looking bored and laughing with friends seated nearby. My oldest News editor Laura McFarland and her nephew, sister and I, his aunts, made it our mission to let him Mason Otto, share a moment after his recent know we were watching and proud of and happy for graduation from high school in Houston, Texas.

A double dose of goose bumps

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

It’s an exciting time of year as parents prepare for a milestone in their children’s lives that transforms them into young adults and begins a new cycle of young adultism.

Yes, I’m talking graduation and the change it represents for children who once seemed like helpless babies unable to care for themselves and now appear on the verge of adulthood.

It’s always a special day when a parent can enjoy that pride and accomplishment that can only happen when your childs’ name is called, and someone you’ve loved since their first breath walks across the stage and accepts their first real symbol of things accomplished, a diploma.

We’re not quite there at my house, but, when Jack and Emma graduate later this month, it’s a sure sign that my kids are growing up. It’s also an opportune time to take stock of the past years, and to sit back and sigh a brief hint of relief at their successes.

Ever since they were born, I’ve marveled at the mystique that is only evident in the relationship between twins. They search for each other in a crowd, and it’s the first face they seek when entering a room, a sort of telepathic connection that defies explanation.

My mother would say they are like two peas in a pod, but their common tendencies don’t outweigh their differences, and each has a unique and distinct personality. But, that twin attachment is always there, even with the unique personalities.

When Jack began his journey at Tuckahoe Middle School three years ago, no one could predict what lay ahead. He began his middle school years with limited mo-

bility, but still able to walk for short distances and move around at will, albeit with difficulty.

His middle school years have been marked with numerous challenges, and he is now confined to a wheelchair all the time. Steps now come at a great premium, and Jack’s life is more challenging, his daily grind more complicated and burdened.

And through it all, Emma has remained the constant, his partner, support system, caregiver extraordinaire and best friend. When Jack has endured the cruelest of insults, the most deliberately vicious comments regarding his condition, Emma shed the tears.

And when someone offends or abuses Jack, they quickly find an awakened sleeping giant in the form of his twin, always ready to defend, promote or protect her sibling.

So, their graduation means much more than just the sense of accomplishment any parent enjoys as their children learn, grow and succeed. It’s a symbol of persistence, personal sacrifice and a bond between brother and sister that makes me proud to be called their father.

Few will realize in that moment of joy the true sacrifices made by my twins in their years at Tuckahoe, and I suppose the obstacles are less important as we enjoy their accomplishments.

But, the dedication of a sister to her brother won’t be lost on the ones who love and respect Jack’s courage and determination for they know the role Emma plays in his life each day.

And as the journey continues, it gives me a certain sense of assurance that Jack will be OK as long as Emma is not far from his side, and Emma will be fine as long as Jack has her back.

him.

On most of the occasions I caught him looking up where our group was seated, I gave a not-so-subtle wave (OK, waved like a maniac) just to see him smile.

In between the videos and the hundreds of photos I took, I made sure to just sit there at one point and enjoy it – revel in his accomplishment and the potential of a new chapter of his life ready to be written.

As fate would have it, my trip coincided with the arrival of my friend Kristin, who moved to Turkey with her husband a few years ago but was coming to visit family.

In the midst of all of my family time, I made sure to carve out some time with my friend, who I feel like I see more now that she has left the country than I did when we just lived in different states.

We had a great night of laughing, talking, catching each other up on our lives and talking about what is next. And at the end of the night, we shared a hug.

You know the kind – the ones that say I don’t know when I will see you again so I am happy we get to cherish this moment now. It was a good hug.

The next morning, my mom asked me if I wanted to go on an organized ride with a Harley motorcycle club she recently joined after buying her trike. The heat would have been unbearable were it not for the speed and wind on my face. see MOMENT, pg. 8

Senior Health Fair

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

The Senior Health Fair on M T May 24 b brought h llocall seniors i out ffor a morning of information, free gifts and door prizes, a ttalk from Del. Lee Ware, and a free lunch cooked by voluntteers from the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office.

MOMENT Continued from pg. 7

Again, there on the back of the trike with my newly adventurous mom, with the rural Texas scenery whipping by on the back roads we traveled, I had a moment where all other thought ceased and that feeling was all that existed.

The final one I will mention came on the flight from Houston to Richmond. Not long after we took off, we reached the clouds just before the sun set. I’ve been flying for years and seen some gorgeous sights from those tiny airplane windows.

But, believe me, when I say the way the clouds were formed and the light of the waning sun played across them was one of the most breathtaking scenes I have witnessed (and this includes flying

over Alaska). I took photos. I even took photos for the girl across the aisle who was witnessing the same natural wonder without the same vantage point.

And, for once, my phone did not disappoint with the photos I was taking.

But, after the photos were snapped and the plane was beginning to leave, the amazing cloud formation behind, I actually reminded myself to put the device down for just a minute and simply live in the moment. And it was glorious.

I love that life is filled with these moments – that the ordinary can be so extraordinary when your heart is open to them. The big moments are great.

But the little ones that make everything feel right in the world, those are worth savoring, too.

Habitat for Humanity Powhatan depends on volunteers and so many friends and companies have helped in the past and continue to do so.

The need is for so many different skills - just showing up and helping, specific talents like plumbing, electricity and drywall, cooking for events, and staffing the new soon to be open Habitat Store. Habitat has hired a part-time volunteer coordinator, Maria Sharples, to set up a data base, respond to volunteer phone calls and assign volunteers to projects. The volunteer hotline number is 804-372-9755. It is an answering machine and phone calls are returned on a daily basis. Call and volunteer!

St. John Neumann Catholic Church, in partnership with the Powhatan Community Action Agency, is currently looking for volunteer drivers for a pilot transportation program to provide rides for the elderly and disabled. Riders may need transportation to the Free Clinic or another health care providers, to the grocery store, or other necessary tasks. Drivers must provide a current driving record, be able to pass a background check, and take a Driver Safety Course. Drivers may be compensated for their mileage if they choose, and the program will cover insurance on the vehicles while driving for the program. At this time, we are only looking for volunteer drivers. Rider applications are not being accepted at this time. For information on becoming a volunteer driver, contact Maria Sharples, Get A Ride Program director, at 804-3729755.

The Powhatan County Cooperative Extension Office and Powhatan Department of Public Works have partnered with Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Sciences (VDACS) to bring a free recycling service to area farmers and horticulture business that were, up until now, without a location to recycle their properly rinsed pesticide containers.

ginia. Cifor said several times that the company was projecting most of the waste would come from Virginia. However, the company is authorized to take trash in a 500-mile radius and if something were to happen to drop the trash production he might have to accept out-ofstate trash.

A few of the residents pointed out the landfill’s effect on the local ecosystem, whether it is animals who lose their habitats

or increased pests such as birds and rodents that carry trash to nearby areas.

In response to criticism of the board of supervisors, Kevin Ingle said that County Waste of Virginia has a right to make applications to the local boards just like any other business seeking to come to Cumberland. Whether it is an autocare facility or a landfill, they all have the same opportunity and have to be treated the same, he said.

Habitat for Humanity Powhatan volunteers, board members and more participate in a groundbreaking on June 4 at the future site of the organization’s first home build in more than two years. The home will be for Erica and Nate Muncey, who stand on either side of the Habitat sign.

Continued from pg. 1

since 1992. Rick resigned from her position as a Habitat board of directors member to start her new role on June 1, a day after Tim Bowring retired from the position.

She is the nonprofit organization’s first full-time executive director, a move that took into account the board of directors’ desire to take a more progressive and aggressive approach toward Habitat’s mission to help families build or improve a place they can call home, Hefferon said.

Those more aggressive measures include a ramped up critical repair program, building the local chapter’s first house in more than two years and hopefully a second later in the year; hiring a new part-time volunteer coordinator, and opening a new store for donated building supplies and office building in the old Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department building.

Although it might not be ready for business yet, the new retail store is set to be dedicated at a ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 16 at 1922 Urbine Road, Hefferon said.

The event will include light refreshments, a short ceremony and a chance to tour the building to see what has been done to it since it was a fire station to make it usable again.

All of these new efforts and adventures combined are making for a grand reemergence of Habitat for Humanity Powhatan in 2018, Hefferon said.

“It is really a new beginning for us to reengage with the community in a real positive, aggressive way and seek the support of businesses, community leaders and the whole population to chip in and help the people in Powhatan who really need affordable housing and life sustaining critical repairs,” Hefferon said. “The need

out there is tremendous. I see it every day as I travel through the county. It is sometimes hard to believe our aging homes are really falling apart. The ability to have seniors age comfortably in their own homes is important to everybody and that is what we are doing.”

A new executive director Rick had already been on the Habitat board for about a year and a half, having been lured to it in the first place by Terry Sanders because her background in law, teaching and coaching could be a big help, she was told.

“I have lived in Powhatan for a long time and I was a little bit involved in things, but I had the time to become much more involved,” Rick said of joining the board. “I think Powhatan is the poster child for a generous and compassionate community and it was wonderful to be invited to participate.”

Rick and her husband, John, who is the former county attorney for Powhatan, have two daughters and several grandchildren.

Most people call her Spud, a result of her father being born in Ireland and a chance remark by her grandmother.

Rick said she was a lawyer for 40 years before she retired in July 2010 and became a certified executive coach and a consultant. In her final two decades of practicing law, she was a partner with the law firm of Troutman Sanders LLP and her practice involved commercial financing and commercial real estate.

Rick noted that Terry Paquette did a tremendous job for many years with Habitat and then Bowring built on that solid foundation. As a result of both of their efforts, as well as those of the board members and volunteers, Habitat was on the cusp of hav-

ing significant growth potential and was ready to move forward. That is why she decided to apply when the executive director position was advertised.

“I think I saw a need. I saw that my financial and loan background would help. I thought somebody who is familiar with the operation of Habitat for Humanity Powhatan was going to be able to be a better executive director than somebody who didn’t have that experience because of the learning curve. And I have the time,” she said.

All of those reasons and more are the same ones the search committee saw in her when they reviewed 27 applications from around the nation and even the world and ultimately made the decision to hire Rick, Hefferon said.

“After reviewing all of them, even though some were qualified, none had the specific qualifications that Roseleen had. Particularly being a resident of Powhatan was important to us and having those homegrown contacts and understanding the culture of Powhatan,” Hefferon said. “She of course also was a sitting board member who had intimate knowledge of what needed to be done and improved upon. And of course her legal background has helped us tremendously in our administration of the organization.”

Hefferon added that Rick had already proved she was a super intelligent, articulate individual who naturally has a wonderful personality and gets along with everybody she engages, which is wonderful in a position that involves fundraising and establishing relationships with so many people in the community.

Rick said her immediate focus will be on raising money, public rela-

tions and seeking donations of land, which are essential to the program’s success.

She and the board will also be focused on the growing critical repair program, which has become increasingly active in the last few years, repairing dozens of homes to make them livable for their occupants, many of whom are seniors.

More growth The dedication of the store this weekend is the next immediate focus, and organizers are expecting good support for the project. Habitat worked with the Powhatan Economic Development Authority to work out a five-year lease for the old fire station.

In addition to grants and monetary donations, the building materials do-

nated and sold in the store will provide a new funding stream to help Habitat continue its work, Hefferon said.

Even as Habitat is trying to get its part-time store ready to open, the organization is also gearing up for its first home build since spring 2016.

Habitat held a ground breaking ceremony on Monday, June 4 for a home that will be owned

by Erica Muncey and her son Nate on land that was donated off of Route 60.

Habitat also has another family going through the application process, and if all goes according to plan, that house will come soon after and be built on an adjoining lot, Hefferon said.

Rick said it feels energizing to be part of Powhatan as it gets back to a task that is an essential

part of its mission.

Even with one or two houses being built, Habitat will still place a heavy emphasis on its critical repair program, which helps people with bad heating and air conditioning situations, plumbing, electricity, leaking roofs and more, she said.

With all of those balls in the air, Maria Sharples was hired to work five to 10 hours a week as the volunteer coordinator to make sure they all stay aloft, Rick said.

“We needed somebody to basically keep track of people who were calling, who could donate and who could line up people when there was a specific need,” Rick said.

The volunteer hotline number is 804-372-9755.

Indians bested by Woodgrove in state title game

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

T

he Class 4 state softball championship game at Moyer Sports Complex in Salem on June 9 featured two teams with histories of greatness on the diamond.

Powhatan softball has had a long history of success, winning five state championships in all.

Woodgrove, the Indians’ opponent, had won the last two state championships and three of the last four.

Boosted by a dominant performance by pitcher Camryn Dolby, the Wolverines made it three-in-a-row with a 9-1 win over the Indians to win the state championship.

“I think we have to be proud of the fact of where we’ve come this season,” Powhatan head coach Marie Crump said.

“We’re disappointed in the loss, but we’re very proud of what we’ve done this year.

We might not have been playing today, so these kids have a lot to be proud of.”

It was Powhatan’s first state final appearance since 2006.

Woodgrove got on the board in the first inning with an RBI single by Dolby to make it 1-0, but the Indians were able to escape the inning without further damage, as Autumn Lederman got a key out with two runners on to get out of the jam.

The offense for the Indians got off to a rough start as pitcher and Region 4B Player of the Year Mason Basdikis had a foul ball go off her hand on the very first

pitch she saw from Dolby. Two pitches later, Basdikis was hit again and advanced to first.

Tori Gilbert was also hit by a pitch in the inning and put two on for the Indians.

But, Dolby recorded three strikeouts in the inning to sit the Indians down.

In all, Dolby struck out 16 Indians batters.

In three instances in the first, fourth and fifth innings, after the Indians had managed to get a base runner on through a hit batter, a walk, or an error by the Wolverines defense, Dolby got a strike out to end any chance of the Indians taking advantage of the opportunity.

“She’s a phenomenal pitcher,” Crump said of Dolby.

Despite getting hit on the hand, and

showing discomfort through the rest of the game, Basdikis remained in the circle until the sixth inning.

“I think when Mason got hit, it took a little off her pitching,” Crump said. “But, she’s a tough kid. She wanted to go and she wanted to pitch. As a coach, I respect that.”

The Wolverines scored a run in the third to make it 2-0, but broke it open with three runs in the fourth inning and four in the sixth to make it a 9-0 game.

While Woodgrove did score nine runs, the Indians defense managed to strand eight runners on base with some solid defensive plays.

In the first, Basdikis had a grounder see SOFTBALL, pg. 3B

Powhatan’s Trenton Tiller had a strong performance in the Class 4 state quarterfinals at Grafton on June 5.

For five and a half innings, Powhatan pitcher Trenton Tiller and his counterpart, Trey Gibson of Grafton, dueled in a hurler matchup that will be talked about in conversations that will outlast the entirety of these Class 4 state baseball playoffs.

But in the bottom of the sixth, on their last round of at-bats, the Clippers finally managed to take advantage of Tiller’s weariness and tag three runs on the scoreboard, which was enough to give the hosts a 3-0 victory in the June 5 quarterfinals.

“It was a good game,” Powhatan baseball coach Gregg Conner said. “It was a pitcher’s duel. Trenton pitched very well.”

“Someone was going to have to break it open,” said Grafton head coach Matt Lewellen.

Grafton’s Zach Wojnarowski opened the bottom of the sixth with a double.

Two batters later, Gibson, who struck out seven Indians on the mound, while giving up four hits over seven innings, helped his own cause by driving in the game’s first run with a single to left, reaching second as the throw toward home flew wide of the plate.

Tyler Cotten was walked intentionally as Powhatan elected to get a force with one out.

by Ashley Trevillian, who finished ninth in the state with a mark of 4 feet, 10 inches.

Blake McCoy finished 17th in the discus with a throw of 123 feet, 1 inch.

“It means a lot to make it to states and have all the hard work pay off in the end,” he wrote in an email.

McCoy placed third in the region, which qualified him for the state meet.

Overall this season, he wrote that it has gone well, but there is room for improvement.

“My performance could have been better for sure,” he wrote. “The technique will be my main focal point to improve on.”

However, the rainy conditions at the state meet were not favorable to preparing for McCoy. “I don’t know what is in the rain,” he wrote. “It’s like my kryptonite in these bigger meets. It made preparation very hard.”

Colton Vosburg finished 20th in the state in the 800 meters with a 2:07.02.

“Qualifying for states is a huge payoff, especially seeing I did not expect to make it this far this season,” Vosburg wrote in an email. “I (was) beyond happy to have such a rare opportunity to run with the best in the state.”

The rain that plagued

Farmer’s Cooperative 182 SMI Way Farmville, VA 23901 434-392-4192 www.farmerscoopfarmville.com

the event definitely had an impact on Vosburg.

“The rain had the biggest effect on the mind,” he wrote. “We have practice time and time again in the wet and enjoyed it, but states being there and having the rain all weekend put a damper on the positive mental game.”

Vosburg wrote that this outdoor track season had a “different energy” about it.

“The new freshmen and Coach Wildauer made the season so much fun and complete with laughs and the most encouragement I have had in a great while,” he said. “I personally reached new heights getting a (personal record) the first meet and continuing to push the limits of my mind and body while Coach (Wildauer) pushed me and encouraged me along the way. I have been very happy with this season and the results of hard work and perseverance.”

He also noted that he exceeded his personal goals that he set for himself this year.

“I was very pleased with my performance this season,” he wrote. “I have been pushed to be in the best physical shape for the 800 meters, and I continued to push the envelope testing how far I could go.

If I were to improve on anything this season, I would say pushing through the last lap as hard as I can and not letting my mind tell me the pain will last more than it really does in the race.”

Finally, Powhatan’s

Lindsey Fanz qualified for the Class 4 state track meet in the 800 meters.

According to the results posted on Milestat. com, Fanz finished outside the Top 14 finishers in the event.

“My senior season is definitely one I’ll remember,” she wrote in an email. “I’ve loved getting to spend my last months at PHS with such a great team. Running with the right people is an important part to a great season.

I’m really proud of the performances I’ve had.”

Fanz has been a frequent qualifier in the state meet in cross-country, indoor track, outdoor track and swimming.

“This (was) my last state meet,” she wrote. “It carries a lot of meaning to me to make it back one last time. States is never a guarantee, so making it back feels like a big accomplishment.”

Fanz will continue her running career as a preferred walk-on at the University of Louisville.

SCHOLAR ATHLETE Powhatan wrestler Collin Gerardi was recently recognized with another honor to add to his resume of high school athletic and academic accomplishments.

At the Times-Dispatch Scholar Athlete of the Year banquet on June 3, Gerardi was recognized as a finalist for the Scholar Athlete of the Year award.

Gerardi was one of 10

boys finalists for the award, which was selected as part of a process that pared 92 seniors that were nominated by their school or were Scholar Athlete of the Month down to 10 boys and 10 girls finalists.

Gerardi was the Scholar Athlete of the Month in December 2017 and was named All-Metro Wrestler of the Year after completing his four-for-four run of state championships in his high school career with the Indians.

Powhatan’s Lindsey Fanz was the female representative for the Indians.

Anna Gestwick and Colby Johnson were the nominees from Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

Road to State Final: Indians beat Wildcats, Generals Gilbert, Jackson provide finishing touches in win over Great Bridge

By Ellis Hopson Contributing Writer

This season’s playoff run by the Powhatan High School softball team has been one that has emphasized the mental toughness and grit the team possesses this year. That trend continued for the Indians in their Class 4 state quarterfinal win over Great Bridge on June 5.

Despite some early struggles and mistakes, Powhatan was resilient enough to mount a comeback and overcome the Wildcats in a 9-3 victory that booked the Indians’ place in the Class 4 state semifinals.

Trouble started for Powhatan right from the jump in the top of the first inning. After a walk put a runner on base, a fielding error on a deep fly into left field allowed a run to score all the way from first.

Great Bridge doubled their lead in the top of the second. Another error at first allowed a runner to get on base before an RBI triple brought the run home.

“We got down 2-0 early. I was very proud of the young ladies because they didn’t get down on themselves. We did make some mistakes early, but we didn’t let them get us down,” Powhatan coach Marie Crump said.

The Indians bounced back in the bottom of the second.

After consecutive walks put two runners on base, a single by senior Taylor Dickerson loaded the bases with only one out.

During the next at-bat, junior Autumn Lederman worked her way to a full count before earning a walk and forcing in a run for Powhatan.

The Indians tied the game when sophomore Madeline Peloke came up with an RBI single to make the score 2-2.

The Indians took their first lead of the

back to her and she threw home, where Teri Jackson made the tag and the out to save one run. The same sequence occurred in the second inning as well.

In the sixth inning, Sami Pleasants made a difficult catch in centerfield and threw to second base to double up the Wolverines.

Powhatan broke through when Gilbert led the sixth inning off with a double. It was the first hit that Dolby had allowed in at least the last 12 innings, as Dolby pitched a no-hitter in the state semifinal.

Rileigh DeWeese brought Gilbert around to score on a single, which was the first run that the Wolverines had allowed since May 21 against Loudoun Valley.

game in the bottom of the fifth.

After a single by Lederman, a wellplaced sacrifice bunt by Peloke moved the runner into scoring position.

A single by senior Mason Basdikis allowed Lederman to advance to third, before another excellent bunt by senior Sami Pleasants allowed her to reach first and load the bases.

A deep sacrifice fly into left field by senior Tori Gilbert allowed Lederman to score from third, giving Powhatan a 3-2 advantage.

Powhatan’s lead did not last, as Great Bridge bounced back to tie the game again in the top of the sixth.

A single and a fielder’s choice allowed a runner to reach second base, before an RBI double brought the run home and made the score 3-3.

Powhatan’s defining moment came in the bottom of the sixth.

After the leadoff batter popped out to center field, three consecutive singles loaded the bases.

Two batters and another out later, Pleasants earned a walk on four pitches and a run was forced in.

The game was blown open on the ensuing at-bat, when Gilbert cleared the bases with a three-RBI double that put the Indians up 7-3.

“Tori has a great bat,” Crump said.

“They threw an inside pitch and we knew that would be trouble. She connected and made good contact.”

Later in the inning, Jackson smacked a two-RBI double and put the Indians up 9-3, and out of reach for Great Bridge.

“I was glad to see Teri come back and be aggressive at the plate. I wanted to see her go get it and to make something happen,” Crump said. “We showed a lot of gumption and heart in coming back. We got ahead and we had the momentum on our side.”

two losses, both to teams that won the state championship. Powhatan fell to Prince George earlier in the season, with the Royals capturing a state championship in Class 5 on Friday.

Powhatan will lose seven seniors, including Basdikis and Gilbert, but the experience of a state final is not insignificant for the Indians non-seniors that will return next season.

“The main thing is experience,” Crump said.

“Not just this game, but going through regionals and the state games just to get here. The more times players can experience that…it doesn’t get any easier, but learning how to handle the pressure is what helps. The non-seniors can learn from this.

You give it your best, you go hard and go get it and let things happen.”

Crump said that getting to the state championship game was “something special” with an even more special event occurring prior to the game beginning.

The Indians seven seniors, Basdikis, Gilbert, Jackson, Pleasants, Katelyn Mayo, Kaylee Harris and Taylor Dickerson, graduated on the field at Moyer.

The seniors were joined by their families on their walk down the third base line as “Pomp and Circumstance” played on the public address system.

Powhatan athletic director Tim Llewellyn handed them their diplomas and they were cerified as graduates.

While they weren’t able to join their classmates in the graduation ceremony at Powhatan High School, it was a fitting ceremony for the seniors, most of

Offense scores 12 runs in third win over Dinwiddie this season

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

After missing the last two state finals by a grand total of two runs over the two years, the Powhatan Indians left no doubt about their spot in the Class 4 softball championship at Moyer Sports Complex on Friday.

Powered by live bats up and down the Indians lineup, Powhatan blew past Dinwiddie 12-1 to advance to the state championship game.

“I’m really excited,” Powhatan senior Tori Gilbert said. “The third time was the charm.”

Powhatan’s offense wasted no time getting runs on the board in the bottom of the first.

Mason Basdikis led off with a single and moved to third on two groundouts by Sami Pleasants and Gilbert.

Then, Rileigh DeWeese ripped a double into left field to score Basdikis and make it 1-0.

Teri Jackson reached with a single, followed by a 2-RBI single by Lindsey Elam that made it 3-0 in the blink of an eye.

“I was really excited to go out there and move my teammates around,” Elam said.

After DeWeese worked a walk in the bottom of the second to load the bases, Dinwiddie brought in relief pitcher Holly Naylor to replace starter Taylor Johnson.

Naylor got the second out of the inning when Jackson flew out to third, but Elam worked a walk, which forced Basdikis in to make it 4-0.

Dinwiddie scored its only run of the game in the top of the fourth inning on an RBI single by Lauren Lindsey.

The Indians plated four in the bottom of the fourth.

Gilbert led that inning off with a double, followed by a walk by DeWeese and whom were members of three consecutive region championship teams.

“That was great,” Crump said. “I know, as a

an RBI double by Teri Jackson, which scored Gilbert to make it 5-1.

“I was just trying to stay loose,” Gilbert said of her approach at the plate. “I had been here twice before, so I knew it was a lot of pressure. I know that I hit better when I’m loose, so I just tried to stay that way.”

Then, Taylor Dickerson beat out a play at first, with DeWeese scoring to make it 6-1.

Autumn Lederman hit a slow roller between shortstop and third base, which got by the Generals defenders and scored another run to make it 7-1. A fielder’s choice later in the inning upped the tally to 8-1.

The Indians added another in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single by Gilbert, and Pleasants knocked in two more in the bottom of the sixth. Gilbert would knock in pinch-runner Briana Hensley, who ran for Pleasants, on the next pitch to make it the final of 12-1.

Basdikis had a strong performance in the circle for the Indians, striking out five Generals batters and allowing just seven hits.

“I thrived off my team’s energy,” she said. “They had my back, so I knew I could pitch my best.”

Elam said that the energy on the field during the win over the Generals began on the bus ride from Powhatan to Salem on the morning of June 8.

“We had a lot of energy going onto the bus and on the bus,” she said. “We had so many pep talks on the ride up here. We hit amazing today. I’m so excited for the team.”

The Indians defense also stranded eight Dinwiddie base runners.

The win for Powhatan was the third this season over the Generals, with the first in the regular season and the second in the Region 4B final.

Powhatan also defeated Dinwiddie in last season’s Region 4B final.

coach, I love to see that for them. They spend so much time on the field and to have the opportunity to graduate on the

ered the crushing blow.

Daszkowski’s liner to left field was bobbled by Jacob Beil, allowing Gibson and Cotten to score the game-deciding runs.

Grafton almost got on the board in the first inning as Trey Gibson leveled Trenton Tiller’s pitch, but Tymothy Hart reached over the fence in center field to steal a sure homerun ball and end the scoreless inning.

In the bottom of the second, Cotten drilled a grounder between the third baseman and foul line for a double.

Adam Sanders added a sacrifice bunt, to move Cotten to third, but Tiller struck out Daszkowski and Tyler Davis to get out of the jam and keep the game scoreless after two innings.

Tiller kept the Clippers off-guard throughout the game, taking little time between pitches and not allowing any of the Grafton hitters to get comfortable in the batter’s box.

“He pitched one heck of a game,” said Lewellen, of Tiller, who struck out seven Clippers and had allowed only one hit through the first six innings. “I didn’t mind what

he was doing. That’s part of the game, and he was doing what he does well.”

However, Tiller threw 54 pitches through the game’s first three innings and began to tire in the sixth.

On the other side, Gibson was able to escape his own jams.

In the fifth, Nick Rini and Zach Tillery opened with singles.

A groundout advanced the runners to second and third.

But, Gibson got Powhatan’s Hunter Hopkins out on a grounder to second, and then Brad Painter hit a grounder back to the mound for an easy out, to end the inning.

In the sixth, Logan Amiss reached on a single up the middle then advanced to second during Beil’s at-bat.

However, Gibson struck out both Cody Willis and Beil to end that chance.

In the seventh, Brandon Eike led the inning off with a single, followed

by Rini reaching on a long single to centerfield.

But, Gibson got Hopkins to ground into a double play to end the game and the Indians season.

Powhatan ended the season with a 19-4 record

and only lost two games in the state of Virginia.

It will still be a season to remember for the Indians baseball team, despite falling short in the state tournament.

Powhatan went on a 16-game winning streak, which started on April 3 and continued until the region final against Dinwiddie.

During that run, Powhatan had close wins over longtime Jefferson District rivals, such as a 1-0 win over Albemarle and a 3-2 win over Louisa, which hardened the team and prepared them for their postseason run.

Powhatan baseball had one of the highlights of the entire Indians athletic season after Hopkins’ heroics in the region semifinal 6-5 win over Hanover.

Conner also achieved the 500 win plateau after the Indians 12-0 win over Charlottesville on May 8.

The Indians will lose 11 seniors to graduation.

“The guys will have to step up,” Conner said.
