CUMBERLAND – They wanted to show they still have a voice. The handful of people who stood out on Route 60 near the Cumberland/ Powhatan line on Tuesday, Oct. 1, were hoping their demonstration would be seen by Gov. Ralph Northam. They had heard he was staying overnight at Bear Creek Lake State Park and planned to put on a peaceful demonstration he would see if he was traveling east on Route 60, as they expected. Their goal was simple – remind the governor of the negative impacts on Virginia if County Waste of Virginia’s proposal to build Green Ridge RecyCONTRIBUTED PHOTO cling and Disposal FaciliMaria and Javier Agosto demonty becomes a reality, said strate hair cutting to a woman in Betty Myers, co-chair of Indonesia as part of Hair Aid Inc.

POWHATAN – The memory that stands out the most for Javier Agosto was watching a woman learning to cut hair while three young children clung to her shoulders and legs. The woman’s husband had died of cancer and his family kicked her and her children out without possessions. They were living on the streets. She had no one to care for her children while she sought to learn this new skill so she did the best she could, he said. And to top it off, she was learning to cut hair not in a classroom or special room but outdoors in the middle of a hot, hu-

mid jungle. Seeing the woman’s determination to learn a skill set that could help raise her family out of poverty humbled Javier Agosto and was just one more confirmation to him and his wife, Maria, that they had done the right thing by participating in an international nonprofit called Hair Aid Inc. The Powhatan residents flew to Indonesia in September to teach in one of the nonprofit’s five-day hair cutting courses. Volunteer hairdressers from around the world participate in the trips, which see them teaching five basic hair cuts to people living on the streets, in slum communities, or with ladies ressee STYLISTS, pg. 6

development project By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Planning Commission and a good number of residents made it clear last week that they don’t support a proposed mixed use development that could see up to 249 “dwelling units” built near the Chesterfield County line. During the commission’s meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 1, the four members present voted unanimously to recommend denial of a rezoning application for East West Communities, which proposes to build some commercial development and up to 249 homes on a 120acre site on the north side of Page Road at its intersection with U.S. Route 60 (Anderson Highway) adjacent to the Chesterfield County line. This project, called the Ellis Farm Development, would include single-family detached, duplex, and townhouse dwellings.

It would also come with a major traffic pattern shift with the VDOTapproved addition of a restricted crossing u-turn (RCUT) intersection on Anderson Highway across from Page Road to handle the increase of traffic that would be expected to come with the project. The RCUT, which the developer has offered to fund, would also accommodate the future plan of access for Classic Granite across the highway. The planning commissioners had deferred the rezoning case from their Sept. 3 meeting after new information about the RCUT was presented. They said they wanted more time to review the new information. They also decided to hold another public hearing when the case came back on Oct. 1, which saw 12 residents offering their opinions on the case. They ranged from being adamantly opposed to the new project to having consee PLANNING, pg. 9

If approved two communications towers could help public safety, communications By Laura McFarland Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Planning Commission recently approved two telecommunications towers to help upgrade the county’s emergency radio communications system. During the commission’s meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 1, the four members present voted unanimously to recommend approval of a telecommunications tower at 1725 Cook Road and another at 2040 Anderson Highway. Both received conditional use permits for telecommunications towers up to 400 feet in height. Thomas P. Nolan, director of emergency 911 communications, spoke to the commission about how these two towers would be part of building up a next generation 911 system that allows first responders to communicate no matter where they are in the county. This is part of the county’s plan to replace its land mobile radio system (LMR), which is no longer supported. The Cook Road tower’s location was chosen because it gives the maximum coverage for the greatest return on investment, he said. “That geographic location that right now is underserved doesn’t have any other options. There are no towers; there is nothing else there,” he said. The county is building out a 20-year system, but the towers will last much longer than that, Nolan said. Verizon has agreed to locate on the Cook Road tower, giving the county the opportunity to make some money off of it and give residents a better chance of making calls. The second tower will be located on an undeveloped portion of a parcel currently occupied by Dutoy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, Nolan said. Having the tower will allow the county to not rent tower space at a lower level, meaning the coverage wouldn’t be as good. Nolan talked about the county’s plan to replace the LMR system. The board of supervisors

moved forward in March on executing a contract with Harris Corporation in Lynchburg to build a $9.7 million LMR system. Replacing the county’s current outdated system has been in the works for several years as it is no longer supported and is basically being main-

land to a cell tower company in 2018 but turned it down because of a long list of health problems that can be caused by cell towers, she said. She asked a number of questions about the safety of the tower, its visibility, the effects on humans and animals, and more. Nolan addressed

tained by buying used parts when equipment needs to be replaced. The new system will serve emergency 911 communications, fire and rescue, the sheriff’s office, emergency management, and the school system. The total funding for the project is just over $10.7 million, which includes $9.2 million in bond funding for the LMR project, more than $1 million in bond funding for towers and money for interest and a transfer from the general fund, Nolan said. Subtracting $975,170 non-system expenditures the county has either spent or is projected to spend, that leaves the $9.7 million left to actually build the communications network and towers. During the public hearings on the towers, Floyd Green, former communications director; fire and rescue chief Phil Warner, and Taylor Goodman with Company 2 spoke about the necessity of the towers. They stressed the need for a better LMR system both to serve and protect the citizens of the county and provide better communications for first responders while working. During the Cook Road tower public hearing, Margaret Taylor, who lives on that road, said she would not feel comfortable or safe living so close to a tower. Her church, Mt. Pero Baptist Church, had the opportunity to lease

several of those questions after the public hearing. The commission was also interested in knowing if the towers could be used to help with the county’s broadband coverage, and Nolan said it did. The cases for the two towers will now be heard by the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors, likely at its meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 28 in the Village Building. Other business handled by the planning commission included: The planning commission unanimously recommended approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) for HCE Powhatan Solar 1 to permit a solar energy farm. It is a smallscale, 5 megawatt project that would involve 23.5 acres of fenced in area but only 8.2 acres with solar arrays on them. Davis Plunkett, development project manager for Holocene Clean Energy, gave a brief presentation to the commission regarding issues they had wanted to be flushed out. He especially focused on vegetative buffers that will keep the solar farm from being seen and the driveway that will be used to enter and exit the property. The commission unanimously recommended approval of a rezoning application for Stavemill II LLC to rezone about 16.19 acres at the southeast corner of the Anderson Highway and

Stavemill Road intersection from General Commercial (C) and General Commercial with proffered conditions to Commerce Center (CC) with proffered conditions. The subject properties are undeveloped parcels within Stavemill Crossing, a commercial development in eastern Powhatan County. The C zoning district currently permits fewer uses by-right than when the project was originally rezoned in 2003. To allow a greater variety of commercial uses by right, the applicant is requesting rezoning to CC with proffered conditions. Attorney Mark Kronenthal pointed out that all offsite traffic improvements have been built and existing pad sites, no longer owned by the applicant, were constructed before the county initiated zoning changes to GC. During the public hearing, resident Carl Schwendeman asked about the developer adding a sidewalk along the project. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

The Powhatan Farm Bureau recently asked candidates running in the Nov. 5 General Election to support its Powhatan Ag Vision. During the Farm Bureau’s annual meeting on Sept. 19, candidates were invited to meet members and review a five-year update to its vision statement in hopes that they would support it and what it means for the county. The Powhatan Ag Vision is an effort on behalf of agriculture leaders in Powhatan County to educate county leaders about agriculture and forestry issues. To preserve the

Virginia heritage of farming for our children and grandchildren, it is imperative that we take steps to ensure that farming operations are protected, they said. More than 260 farms occupy nearly 80,000 acres of farmland, open space and forest in Powhatan. These lands are re-

Thousands pour into Powhatan for wine fesival By Nick Vandeloecht

Richmond Suburban News

POWHATAN – Beautiful weather and a lively crowd characterized the 17th Annual Festival of the Grape held this past Saturday in the Powhatan Courthouse Historic District. “The weather was absolutely perfect today,” said Ashley Ray, who manages the social media for the festival and on Saturday donned the costume of the event’s longtime mascot, Marilyn Merlot. “You can just feel it – people are very excited. There were lines at the gates – people waiting to get in.” Not long after the festival began at 11 a.m., people were already three to four rows deep at the various winery tents that lined up and down Old Buckingham Road, eager to try wines from vineyards across the state of Virginia. Food, shopping, and music were also plentiful, and, after the festival brought in distilleries and a cidery for the first time last year, the event expanded again to include multiple cideries as well as more distilleries pouring drinks as part of the tasting tickets this year, Ray said. Carol Grant Casting was also at the festival, seeking people interested in roles as background actors in the final two episodes of ‘The Good Lord Bird’ – an upcoming limited SHOWTIME series focusing on John Brown and his abolitionist soldiers, as well as on the raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859. For people interested in acting in the show, they can visit www.carolgrantcasting.com and follow the signup links from there; they can also listen to the hotline number ((323)-390-9422), email cgcastingvirginia@gmail.com or visit Car-

ol Grant Casting on social media including Facebook and Twitter (@cgcasting). Ray, who has been in charge of the festival’s social media for four years, said it was one the busiest years she’s seen. “Our ticket sales are higher than the previous four years,” she said. “It’s a big year.” Bill Bevins, the Master of Ceremonies since the very first festival – when it was held in the summertime – remembered that first one being so hot that, while he was standing of the stage, 90 percent of the people who were there – which weren’t many according to Bevins – were under the tree; there were also misting tents. But from then to now – over the last 17 years – “it’s grown into this magnificent thing,” he said. “I look forward to it every year,” Bevins said. “Everybody has such a great time, such a friendly environment. They’ve gone out of their way to make it friendly for everybody – family and everybody. It’s great!” Reuniting at the Festival on its 25th anniversary was the Powhatan High School Class of 1994. “It’s wonderful – we’ve had opportunity to come back home to a great extent, just a few miles – not even miles – from where we went to school,” said Class of ’94 alum Tanya Ross. “To be here and be able to spend time together in the county has just been awesome. It’s been a great opportunity on a beautiful day.” Ross, who has attended the Festival in years past, said that it has “grown exponentially” from the number of vendors to the number of people. “I tell people all the time: I think it’s one of the greatest events that Powhatan has ever put on,” Ross said. The festival “reflects beautifully on the community,” Bevins said. “Everybody’s so friendly, it’s so well-organized,” he said. “It’s a great party and everybody has a fantastic time in a good, safe, friendly environment…I just think Angie (Cabell) and the Chamber of Commerce deserves a huge, huge ‘Thank you.’ I also do the Village Vibe concerts, emcee those, and that kind of work that goes into that…I know the man hours and woman hours that go into it, and they do a great job. It works every time.”

cued from the sex trade and prostitution gangs. “Every night after we were coming back from our project, we were meeting. Everybody shared the spirit for that single day of teaching,” Javier said. “We went over there with the purpose of helping these people and teaching them, but actually we were the ones changed. “We saw a world that that is completely different than what we normally see in our regular day – the conditions and the joy of every day. Even if they have nothing, they want to give us so much. We cried every day. Sometimes you tried to be tough but it gets to the point where you have to break down,” he said. The Agostos’ trip to Indonesia lasted from Aug. 28 to Sept. 9, although a good chunk on both sides of the trip was spent traveling to and from the Asian country. It was their first time participating with the nonprofit, but they are sure it won’t be their last, said Maria, who

owns Studio 9:13 in Powhatan. The inspiration for the trip actually started with a dream Maria had back in February. In the dream, she saw herself on a huge jumbo Asian jetliner with Javier, carrying her hair cutting tool bag, and helping those in need. Four days after she had the dream, Maria saw an Instagram post from a

Hair Aid

PAID FOR BY VICKI HURT FOR SCHOOL BOARD

Founder and CEO Selina Tomasich started Hair Aid in her native Australia. She had already started a similar program teaching poor people sewing skills in Manila. She and volunteers she recruited took donated sewing machines and taught short courses to people in Manila so they could work their way out of the slums. When she asked what other skills would be useful, the locals requested hair cutting. Selina said in an email interview that she had no experience with hairdressing, but she was fortunate that many people with that skill were willing to share it. In the roughly six years since Hair Aid was formed, more than 3,500 hairdressers have helped Hair Aid in some capacity worldwide. It is a little known fact that it is illegal for children in some countries to go to school unless they have a regulation haircut, Selina said. This creates a ready-

made potential customer base. “The fact that many people that live in poverty strive very had to send their children to school also means that they constantly have to pay for haircuts. Teaching people in local communities to cut hair, their own children’s hair, saves them money,” she said. “They can also cut hair in the community, bartering their services in exchange for food.” It is unthinkable to many, but sometimes these parents have to make the choice to spend 50 cents on rice so their family doesn’t starve or 50 cents on a haircut to keep their child in school, Maria said. The small nonprofit expanded to include trips to the Philippines, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Thailand attended by volunteers coming from all over the world, Selina said. Despite sometimes facing grueling conditions, volunteers have trained more than 5,000 people. After the volunteers arrive, they go through an induction/cultural training, review the training manual, and pack of the kits that will be taken to the various sites where the courses will be held. Volunteers are placed in teams of two to four and travel to locations daily as a group. Maria and Javier worked in two different spots in Denpasar, Indonesia. Maria’s group worked inside a church, while Javier was literally working out in the open in the middle of a jungle. Three other teams did their projects at a community center, a dump, and a jail.

Cutting hair Over the course of a little less than five days, volunteers work to teach five basic haircuts to the participants – straight across, diagonal-forward (long in front, short in back), diagonal-backwards (like shape of V in back), layered, and men’s haircuts.

On the final day, they demonstrate a few different styles, encouraging the learners to see what they can achieve with more practice, Selina said. Then they hold a celebration party and everyone that has completed the training and can do the haircuts gets a personal certificate from Hair Aid. They also receive a free scissors kit, with scissors, clips, a comb, and a cape to help them get started. “The learners have such a capacity and limited barriers to learning. The desire to learn is fuelled by a desperate need. They learn much faster than we do. The class is a very hands-on. The people are cutting hair within two to three hours of us arriving,” Selina said. Much of the training is done on live people using volunteers from the local community, friends or family, and even workers in local businesses. There weren’t as many people at his location, Javier said, so some people got their hair cut multiple times. They also cut bamboo and put wigs on them to make makeshift mannequins. “It was doing hair with giant spiders overhead and bats on the wall. The conditions were bad,” he said. Maria said working with the women and seeing how much they have to overcome put things into perspective for her when she came home about “not sweating the small stuff.” “Really when you look at some of the things that get on our nerves or challenges on a daily basis, they’re First World problems,” she said. “We came home from this trip where some people didn’t know where their next meal was going to come from or where they would sleep that night.” Despite some harsh conditions, it was a great experience, and one they want to repeat, she added.

Work of many goes into informing readers By Laura McFarland Editor

he newspaper industry is a business of storytelling. I have known that since my freshman year of high school, when I saw my byline for the first time in my high school newspaper. I was hooked and have been devoted to pursuing a career in newspapers ever since. But while I realize that my name or the name of sports editor Nick Vandeloecht might be the most visible in the Powhatan Today, it would be incorrect to say we are solely responsible for producing this paper. Oct. 6 to 12 marks the 79th annual National Newspaper Week, a recognition of the service of newspapers and their employees across North America that is sponsored by Newspaper Association Managers. As I thought about how to recognize National

Newspaper Week, it seemed fitting that I also would be attending a ceremony to honor milestone years of service in my company. The celebration recognized 65 employees with years of service ranging from five to 45 years. I fell at the low end of the scale, happy to celebrate my five-year anniversary in May. But as I listened to the accomplishments of the men and women in the advertising, circulation, news, production/facilities, marketing, and corporate departments, it was a wonderful reminder of how many people work so hard to create the ultimate product that is the Powhatan Today and other newspapers in our group. As was pointed out during the ceremony, years of service do matter and all of these people are the bedrock of who we are as an institution. In the past when I wrote about the importance of newspapers, it was always from the perspective of the news side. I touched on how our readers can come to

our newspaper for everything from county government and schools coverage to crime, courts, sports (excellent job by Nick), festivals, features, and more. But the paper also is the ads of our local businesses, events, political candidates, real estate, and more. It is the classifieds selling everything from tractors and cars to yard sales and rooms to rent, as well as people seeking something to put out their pleas. It’s also the legal ads, including the mandatory advertising of local board and commission matters, which I hope people are paying attention to, because they announce some important potential changes in Powhatan. I have only high praise for the sales and design staffs that make the newspaper possible as well. In the end, all of those parts combine to create a finished product that is designed to inform our readers of what is going on in Powhatan County. From all of them to all of you, thank you for letting us continue to bring you your weekly hometown newspaper.

Dear Editor, For three consecutive years, I’ve been lucky to be involved with the Powhatan Leadership Institute (PLI). It has provided an outstanding opportunity for me to meet a diverse group of Powhatan citizens that all share common goals for our county. According to PLI’s website, http:// www.plipowhatan.com/, where I originally learned about the course and signed up, the goal of the course is to “develop on an annual basis, a group of county citizens motivated to participate in current and future county activities” and achieve that by “educating participants about the opportunities and challenges in Powhatan County.” There are many interesting sessions during the course, to include a tour of the county; information sessions with

various county departments and numerous clubs; a leadership development class, and a visit to the state capitol to meet our representatives. A common theme throughout the course was “learning something new about the county” each session. Each event helps introduce participants to the many opportunities in the county that are available for citizen involvement. I’ve realized that despite our varied backgrounds and whether someone has lived in the county their whole life or recently moved here, we all have a common goal to maintain Powhatan county as a great place to live. Signups are now occurring for the 2020 course. Jim Carver Powhatan County

State Fair highlights best of Virginia PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND

Members of Cumberland County Landfill Alert stage a demonstration along Route 60 on Oct. 1 in hopes the governor, who they thought would be passing by, would hear their opposition to the proposed Green Ridge Landfill.

The State Fair of Virginia was held Sept. 27 to Oct. 6 at The Meadow Event Park in Caroline County. The event offers food, rides, entertainment, educational displays, and the opportunity for people to showcase their talents.

WRONG PLACE.” Part of the point of protesting where the governor might see them was pointing out how CCLA’s mission coincides with Executive Order 29, which dealt with the establishment of the Virginia Council on Environmental Justice, said Keith Oulie of Cumberland. The council was formed based on the premise that, “All deserve to live in a healthy environment. The Commonwealth has a duty to protect our air, water, and land, and to ensure that no community in Virginia is disproportionately impacted by the negative effects of climate change.” Oulie especially pointed to one line in the executive order that said, “No population, especially minority, low-income, or historically-underserved communities, should face higher levels or greater impacts of pollution than

other populations.” Yet that is exactly what is happening with the building of this landfill, he argued. He also said that Virginia’s regulations regarding landfills are more lax than other states, which has made it a “target” for trash companies. The group is also concerned that the state works hard to protect public water but does not have enough regulation in place to protect well water, which so many people in rural counties like Cumberland and Powhatan are dependent on, Myers said. The entire time the group was camped out on the side of the road across from where the landfill is supposed to be built, Iris Grimseley, 68, of Cumberland stood by the highway holding a sign that read “NO MEGA LANDFILL.” She and her husband, Marshall, have lived in Cumberland for 14 years and will live about 2 miles from the landfill if it is built. They are concerned about the hardships the landfill will bring to residents of both counties through traffic problems, potential water contamination, air quality, smell, pests, etc., and wanted to remind the governor of their concerns, she said. “This is not just a countywide issue; this is a state issue. Some of the state officials might not look at it as being a state issue, but it will be a state issue, because the road runs from county to county, and the trucks will be coming in from county to county. There is more than just Cumberland County involved in this,” she said. To be honest, they don’t know if the gover-

nor ever saw their demonstration. They were expecting a caravan of cars to go past, and that never materialized. They wondered if his team got tipped off and went another way. Either way, they ended their demonstration with smiles. “We didn’t know for sure. It’s a gamble. But we couldn’t pass up the opportunity,” Myers said. Regardless of whether the governor saw their protest, the message was still put out there with the untold number of vehicles that passed them by that morning. Grimsley said she was pleased at the response in the cars that went by in the few hours they were by the road. “I have gotten a lot of support from people going by with thumbs up, waving, blowing the horn. I had one person that gave me a thumbs down. I think that is the only one so far that has been negative. I think our odds of people who agree with it are a lot better,” she said with a smile. Because the demonstration was planned last minute and on a workday, the protestors weren’t surprised that they had less than 10 people come out to protest in two different spots along the highway, Grimsley said. She said they have done research on other fights against landfills across the country and found small groups who successfully campaigned against them. “It doesn’t take a lot of people; it just takes that one thing that can stop it to stop it,” she said.

Powhatan Today, October 9, 2019

County working to promote businesses Powhatan County is making strides to attract new businesses to the county. The county approved eight new businesses in August, five of which were home-based, according to the August monthly report of the Powhatan County Economic Development department. The breakdown of the new businesses was: two contractors, one retail, and five services (professional and non-professional). Other highlights for the month included: The county’s 2018 employment finishes above 2017, and 2019 starting ahead of 2018. Economic development staff organized a CTE Teacher Tour of Powhatan businesses with the high school to facilitate connections with businesses and teachers for future workforce opportunities. Staff also held a Young Entrepreneurs Roundtable discussion for young business leaders in Powhatan. As part of the economic development department’s business recruitment and retention program, staff or business ambassadors visited the following businesses: Firefly Childcare, Mabel’s, SSEC, VA Tourism Corporation, Outdoor Pursuits, Ultimate Cycle, Barham’s Seafood, Four Seasons Restaurant, Fine Creek Realty, Holicong Farm, Home Builders Association of Richmond, and Crazy Rooster Brewing. Several local businesses and nonprofits received Best of Richmond Awards from Richmond Magazine: Best Under-The-Radar Brewery, first, Fine Creek Brewing Co.; Best Restaurant in Chesterfield (Powhatan), third, Wild Ginger; Best Urban Farm, second, Shalom Farms; Best Youth Music Instruction, second, Passion Academy, and Best Festival or Event in the Counties, third, Powhatan’s Festival of the Grape.

cerns about the new traffic pattern to worrying about the county’s water resources. In a presentation he gave before the public hearing, Chris Shust with Balzer and Associates once again spoke for the developers and outlined all of the positives they feel they are bringing to the county, as well as trying to alleviate concerns that had been raised. The case will now be heard by the board of supervisors, likely at its meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 28 in the Village Building.

Benefits to the county During his presentation, Shust again outlined the benefits the Ellis Farm Development would bring to the county. When the project is built out, it would realize about $1 million in reeal estate tax revenue, or 3 cents on the real estate tax rate, he said. The owners of the land currently pay $8,000 a year. In terms of utilities, the project would bring roughly $3.036 million in water and sewer connect fees, he said. The developer is also providing a new $500,000 pump station to serve the development. The connection fees, the new pump station, and the $1.5 million the developer would spend to add the new RCUT all adds up to about $5.036 million being brought into the county, Shust said. He pointed out that the traffic improvement they would fund means residents don’t have to wait until VDOT agrees to fix the traffic problem that exists on Page Road. The development would feed into Flat Rock Elementary School (currently at 81 percent capacity), Powhatan Middle School (currently 86 percent capacity), and Powhatan High School (cur-

NAACP to hold Candidate’s Forum Contributed Report The Powhatan County Branch of the NAACP will hold a Candidate’s Community Forum to allow the voting public the chance to meet their potential elected leaders. The forum is driven by the belief that the right of all citizens to vote is among the most sacred rights guaranteed in our constitution and that right carries the responsibility to be well informed. The event will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19 at the War Memorial Cultural Arts and

Community Center, 2375 Skaggs Road. It is open to all citizens of Powhatan County. The forum allows each candidate the opportunity to share his or her platform with the branch’s membership and the community. This event is designed for candidates to interact with citizens, not each other; please understand this event is not a debate. Candidates have been presented with several questions from the organization and will answer these questions in the context of their pre-

sentation. This event honors the heritage of the NAACP in engaging all citizens in the democratic process. The NAACP has invited local and state representatives that will be on the ballot in the General Election on Nov. 5. The local branch has received confirmation from many of the candidates. They hope all of Powhatan citizens can come to the event. NAACP does not endorse any candidate; it only provides the necessary information for all citizens.

rently 92 percent capacity). The projected increase in student population at Ellis Farm’s full build out are estimated to take the schools up to 87 percent, 89 percent, and 95 percent, respectively. He added that the division has said the high school could repurpose underutilized space to avoid the need to build a new school and that the build out of this project in 2026 or 2027 might coincide with capital improvement expansion plans already discussed regarding the middle and high schools. Shust said the developer is not trying to overbuild the project, choosing to bring 2.2 units per acre instead of the 4 units per acre allowed by the comprehensive plan. He added that there would be a minimum of 9 acres of open space for active recreation, including a pedestrian trail system, pocket parks, and a central park. Shust also showed illustrations of the types of architecture that he said would be in keeping with the “community character” of Powhatan County.

Planning commissioners Before the planning commission took its vote, some of the planning commissioners gave the reasons they would be denying the request for rezoning. Bill Cox, who represents District 4, started by talking about how long it took the project’s details to become more evident and his concerns about them now that they have. The transportation component has issues because it does not meet the county’s access management standards, does not conform to Powhatan’s Long Range Comprehensive Plan, and the “public does not like the restricted RCUT approach,” Cox said. He raised issue with the lack of clarity on the actual make up of num-

bers and types of housing that the finished project will entail or a development phasing plan. He also said the developer has “offered no cash proffers, preferring that any off-site infrastructure costs created by this project be borne solely by the citizens of Powhatan County.” Cox also criticized Shust’s showing of the financial benefits to the county without highlighting any of the costs to the county that would be incurred because of the increased population. Chair Karin Carmack, District 1, said one of her main issues was this is one of the largest rezoning Powhatan has ever had and it is located right on the border with Chesterfield. That means adding a large number of residents whose needs – education, fire and rescue, fixing roads, etc. – the county will be responsible for, but the majority of their spending dollars will likely go elsewhere. The county currently flushes 165,000 gallons of water per day, and this project will not help with that water and sewer issue, she said. She also cited no commercial phasing with the development as a problem. “I never questioned the quality of your development. I do believe you would build nice homes with the walking paths and all that – that I never questioned. But overall it is just not the right fit for the county,” she said. David Van Gelder, District 5, concurred with his fellow commissioners in saying it is “the wrong size, the wrong place.”

Citizen comments A dozen citizens spoke in all on this case, with their comments ranging from asking questions to raising concerns to voicing outright opposition to the project. Ed Wickham, who lives very close to the proposed development, said Page Road currently is

not wide enough for two trucks to pass each other without one stopping. If nothing is done about the road system, it is an accident waiting to happen, he said. But if the project is built, he asked the county and state to work together to create “an acceptable traffic pattern for both the residents that exist today on Page Road and any future residents that might come in as a result of this property.” Mike Hall said the county needs smart growth that is supportable. He said this proposed development’s location does not make it a good location for a Village-Residential project, in particular pointing out it is supposed to be created so people can walk to multiple destinations, which doesn’t exist there. Page Road cannot support the kind of increased activity this development would bring, he added. Andy Edwards said he is “ambivalent” about the development and can see its pros and cons. He instead focused on the proposed RCUT, which he has experience of in another state. Once people do it once, it makes sense, he said, and “given the choice between an RCUT and the nightmarish game of Russian roulette that is out there now, I will take the RCUT.” Whatever action is taken on the development, he asked that something be done with the road. Rocky Gary said he travels Page Road all the time and the only solution at that intersection if the development moves forward is a four-way signalized intersection. He pointed out the conditions of the road that easily lead to wrecks. Elaine Hall said high density housing belongs in the Village area. She criticized the lack of transparency with this development, which she said does not work for the location. The RCUT is a “disaster waiting to happen,” which will be

jammed by work trucks in the area,she said. Curtis Newton said he opposed the project because of the increase in costs to the county through demands on schools, police, social services, parks and recreation, and more, in addition to the increased traffic. He said the developer hasn’t been clear on what it is going to do in regard to types of housing and added it won’t do anything to bring affordable housing to the county. Floyd Greene said when the county built its water and wastewater system, it was done with the promise that the water would be used for county projects like schools and to bring commercial development to the county, not for residential users. The county only has a finite amount of water available to it, and using some of that water for this

development will not help that situation and may cost the county at a later date when it is reaching its water limits. Other points raised including asking about sidewalks on the development; having to wait for the development to be farther along or finished before a traffic change is implemented; putting hundreds more cars on already full roads; the disconnect between residents saying they want Powhatan to remain rural and the increasing development of the east end of the county; the traffic impact on Route 711 of more cars choosing to use that road; concerns with having a limited sight distance approaching the county line on Route 60, and the already tricky conditions of driving on Page Road.

That deep team effort propelled Powhatan Girls Volleyball out of an early 1-set hole and on past the Trojans (1825, 25-18, 21-25, 25-18, 15-10) in a 5-set thriller. “What a fun match of volleyball!” Powhatan coach Cindy Bryant said. “Those are the kinds of matches you just want to play all the time.” With the win, Powhatan avenged an early regular-season 3-0 loss to Midlothian and further built on a 2-0 win over the Trojans in the Virginia Volleyball Showcase invitational that followed. Giving the Indians’ triumph even

more meaning was the fact that they had to win without the on-court contributions of outside hitting force Sierra Ellison, whom they didn’t expect to still be out at that point as she continued to recover from an ankle-related injury. The Indians went into Tuesday night’s game talking about where their mindset had to be in order for the win to become possible. That included showcasing total aggression and not giving up. “The girls did that,” Coach Bryant said. “We saw some huge play out of some bench players who came in at some key times.” “In the beginning, in our huddle, we were like: Look, they’re gonna have some see VOLLEYBALL, pg. 2B

“She’s been the boss at those,” Tyson said. “That’s the third she’s won this year.” Stephenson’s aggressive play in goal, combined with the lone successful penalty stroke from Ella Weber, helped the Indians achieve a comefrom-behind victory over Maggie Walker Governor’s School 2-1, 1-0 in penalty strokes on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Maggie Walker dominated most of the first half, containing the Powhatan offense and spending a significant amount of time in their offensive zone. After the Indians’ defense repelled four consecutive corner chances, Caroline Brickley scored for the Green Dragons in the 19th minute to give her team a 1-0 lead. Powhatan had three consecutive chances at a corner in the 29th minute for the equalizer, but couldn’t beat

really good plays,” said Star Bryant, who knows several of the girls on Midlothian’s team and played club volleyball with one of them a couple of years ago. “But so are we, so we can’t let those plays get us down. We’re just gonna come out on top and stay out on top.” That’s what Powhatan did in the fifth, tiebreaking set, rocketing out to a 10-3 lead and holding on against a short run from Midlothian to watch the away team’s serve fly too far and outof-bounds for Powhatan’s match point at 15-10. Powhatan’s team depth also shined on the back line, as five players – Natalie Mueller, Libero Allie Dulio, Star Bryant, McKenzie Urbine and Bryson Amorese – were key in limiting the Trojans’ fiery attack. Mueller was an all-around force, leading the team with 15 digs to go along with her 9 kills and 5 blocks, including a pair of back-to-back stops in the tiebreaking fifth set. Sophomore Allie Dulio made 10 digs, and she contributed two serves for points to help Powhat-

we finally just put it together.” Getting to advance to his first-ever regional tournament was something that Voorhees had been working towards for a couple of years. In the Oct. 1 sub-regionals, Voorhees was the third best golfer behind the medalist from Hanover (70) and the runner-up from Patrick Henry (72). “It felt great just to finally get some birdies to

the Maggie Walker keeper. “I told them: Just don’t give up,” Tyson said. “They’re getting it. This is the second game we’ve come from behind to win.” The Indians came out with renewed energy in the second half and had more consistent and quality pressure on the Green Dragons’ net. Then, Taylor took a breakaway in the 58th minute through three defenders to beat the keeper and score. In overtime, both teams had opportunities, but neither could get the would-be game-winning goal. Penalty strokes commenced. Stephenson was in the net first, and she was aggressive in taking on Maggie Walker’s Erin Winters on the penalty stroke attempt. “Typically, I’ve learned that when you’re more aggressive and louder in goal, it’s a lot more intimidating for the offensive players,” Stephenson said. “I’ve stuck with that. Coach (Margie) Baker has been a huge help this year.”

an lead 9-3 in the tiebreaker. Star had 6 digs to go along with her 3 blocks – including a big one to set up match point in the fifth – and a team-leading 12 kills on the night. “To have a good night for blocking…that’s the best feeling in the world” – Star said – “is just having a powerhouse hitter (attack from the opposing side) and just stuffing it back. “ Sophomore Amorese racked up 31 assists to continue her brilliant season at setter. Sophomore Henderson, who got pulled up from JV this season, delivered the very first point of the game and finished with 7 kills. The two units traded sets of 25-18 to tie the match before the Trojans rallied from a 12-6 thirdset hole to power past the Indians at 17-16 and fend off the home team from there to lead 2-1. But Huber helped her Indians rally from a 4-8 deficit in the crucial fourth set to tie Midlothian at 8-8 with the help of a couple of timely serves for points. “I made sure that I didn’t want to rush it,” Huber said, “and took my time to breathe and then think about open spots on the court…” The Trojans then hit away an attack by Star and a serve by

drop on those first few holes to get my round started,” Voorhees said. “Started to fall apart a little toward the end of the front nine, but I kept it at even par.” In the back nine, there was a tough stretch of par-four’s where Voorhees went over par, but he was able to come back on the last couple of holes on key birdies to almost catch up to evenpar, which felt great to the junior. Washburn made major gains from last year, when he was competing

PET of the WEEK Hello, ladies and gentlemen, my name is Colypso. I am an American pit bull terrier. I am 2 years old, am up-to-date on shots, and spayed. Now, let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a princess, and I love to dress up and have my picture taken. I love the people here, and they treat me like the princess that I am. I was an owner surrender in March, so I have been here for quite some time with very little interest. I just want a home to call my own, a couch I can lie around on, and a family that I can call my own. I am rather picky about my fur siblings, but if you will work with me, I will gladly give it my all to show you that I am worth it. If you would like to meet me, please call (804) 598-5672 and the staff will be happy to schedule you an appointment. I can’t wait. Hope to see you soon.

“I think (Stephenson) honestly scares some girls out there,” Tyson said with a laugh. While Stephenson stonewalled the Green Dragons on their stroke attempts, her counterpart for Maggie Walker was doing the same as Taylor, Kaitlin Thompson and Erin Barney failed to convert on their tries. And then Weber stepped up. “It was a blur,” she said. “We’ve had three shootouts and that was the first that I’ve scored, so it felt good.” Maggie Walker’s goalie was also aggressive in facing Weber, but too much so as she left the ball in play and a wide open net for Weber to score. “My plan didn’t go as I thought,” she said. “I meant to pull, but ended up just going through and I got it.” Weber said the win over Maggie Walker was a “big deal” to the team. “We’re not really a second-half team,” she said. “We really came out in the second half and tied it up. It felt

Mueller to fall behind Powhatan at 11-10; they hung with the Indians up until their 17th point, but a 6-1 final stretch – which saw Mueller send a short ace scraping across the top of the netting and onto the hardwood in the 25-18 fourth-set win – set the tone for the Indians’ commanding effort in the fifth. “The key was staying calm and not over-thinking it,” Huber said, “and just playing our own game.” Powhatan (11-1 on Oct. 6) played 10 sets in two games across the week. On Thursday, Oct. 3, the Indians went toe-totoe with Cosby all the way to the fifth set, winning the tiebreaker on a wild final of 18-16. Powhatan fell behind early on a 25-12 first set; Coach Bryant described how Cosby “came out with aggressive everything” from serves to swings to downballs. “Our passing was totally off,” Bryant noted, “and I think there was a little shock and awe at how much better Cosby was than the first time we played them.” But the Indians pulled together and came out fighting in the second set, winning it 25-22. Ellison - who had returned from an ankle injury - helped pull togeth-

to get the no. 6 spot every match, to become one of Powhatan’s consistent leaders on the golf course and reach his first-ever regional tournament as well. But it wasn’t easy. Washburn on Oct. 1 had a rough start - he hit two out-of-bounds on the second hole, ending up with a 9 on that hole and starting 4-over going into Hole 3 - but he more than rebounded, reeling off three birdies on the way to shooting his seasonbest of 38 on the front nine. The two golfers have been practicing almost every day, including on the weekends and in the offseason. At least four days a week, they’ve been at their home course of Mill Quarter Plantation Golf Club, getting out on the range, getting reps on the course and practicing together with their teammates, who include senior Logan Wyatt, junior Parker Snellings and sophomores Adam Camp, Cade Van

er the back row defense. She led the team in digs with 11; four of her teammates made at least 6 each. “Her strength of presence on the back row was the perfect gift to our team tonight,” Coach Bryant said Oct. 3. “We anticipate her return to our front row hopefully by the end of next week.” Higley had several huge offblocker digs and smart net plays that gave the Indians momentum in both the fourth and fifth sets. The two teams traded stanzas in the third and fourth (Powhatan narrowly lost 28-26, then won 25-20) to force the tiebreaker; the Indians were down 14-10 in the fifth, but - in the words of Coach Bryant - “just kept fighting one point at a time” to edge past the Titans beyond the regulation 15-point ceiling. “We are so proud of these girls and how they keep pulling together,” Coach Bryant said. “They are truly displaying ‘team’ match after match. “ Amorese made 32 assists, 7 digs, 2 kills and 1 ace, Star delivered 15 kills, 5 blocks and 9 digs, and Mueller made 10 kills and 6 digs. Versatile McKenzie Urbine came up big again with 9 kills, 6 digs and 2 aces.

Buskirk and Jack Altieri. And Powhatan head coach Chris Leech, Voorhees said, has been very helpful. As a whole, Powhatan Golf showed major improvement in the Oct. 1 sub-regionals, placing fourth (329) behind firstplace Monacan (307), runner-up Patrick Henry (314) and Hanover (315), and ahead of Lee-Davis (391) and tournament host Dinwiddie (438). “Our team this year is definitely a lot better than we have been in the past; we’ve got a lot of great players, and next year I think we’ll be even stronger than now,” said Voorhees, who has one more year of high school golf after this while Washburn has two. “To have this performance at this stage in high school...it shows that we’re gonna be really good in the next coming years.” “The team grew over time - we have more experience, we’re more focused,” Powhatan Golf

nail,” Powhatan head football coach Mike Henderson said after the game. “Our guys played with great composure; those guys had a ton of adversity they had to overcome throughout the game and we just kept battling and kept playing the next play.” Powhatan defenders Wyatt Lowe and Chase Gayness made 9 tackles each – Lowe delivered 7 solo tackles and 2 for loss and Gayness had 5 solos – and TJ Gates made 8, including 1 for loss.

good.” Powhatan (7-4) next played L.C. Bird on Oct. 2 to extend its current winning streak to three games with an 8-0 shutout of the Skyhawks. Seven different players scored for Powhatan in Wednesday’s game: Taylor, Weber, Bella Lhuillier, Ryann Overboe, Lexie Campbell, Joy Johnson and Megan Shortridge. Lhuillier led the Indians in the game with 2 goals scored. The Powhatan Indians, as of Oct. 2 this season, are 3-for-3 in winning games when they go to penalty strokes. So if any more shootouts come up this season – particularly around playoff time – expect Stephenson and the Indians to be ready. “Practice makes perfect,” she said. “It’s a lot of practice and it’s helpful to be in real game situations and be able to play through it. I think we’ll be ready for regionals or whatever the next big game is.”

head coach Chris Leech said. “I think guys have just found their swings compared to those earlier 18-hole tournaments which were still just very early in the season. And they played good golf they minimized mistakes.” Coach Leech was very happy with all the players this season and the good effort they put in. “Everyone contributed at some point during the season, which is nice,” he added. “Everyone at one point took a score.” Voorhees and Washburn played in the Region 4B tournament on Monday, Oct. 7 at Mattaponi Springs Golf Club in Caroline County. The top two teams and the top three individuals from the tournament advanced to the state tournament in Williamsburg. Results will be featured in next Wednesday’s print edition of the Powhatan Today.

tion. On a night where special teams endured struggles, Powhatan receiver Tye Morris was a bright spot as he ran forward to haul in a second-half punt return and reel off 45 yards for a touchdown to tighten the game to an 8-point lead as Powhatan’s point-after kick sailed just wide of the upright. Morris also had 2 catches for 45 yards. Despite their bounce-back effort in the second half, the Indians are still trying to find a way to score on offense.

Powhatan Cross Country hosts meet at home By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - Davis and Jackson Tester both ran a 19:34 or better to lead Powhatan Cross Country in its home meet held Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2019 at Powhatan High School. Manchester, Monacan, Thomas Dale and runners from Carver Academy were in attendance in addition to Powhatan’s teams, and the Indians hosted three races: the girls A race, the boys A race and a combined boys and girls B race. Powhatan took the team win in the girls A race with a low score of 30 against Manchester’s 34. Monacan was third with a 63. Powhatan’s Rebecca Ray finished second in the race overall on a 22:08.13. Her teammate Lucy Redlich placed 4th on a 24:26.45, and Audrey Lennon (6th, 24:44.76), Alyssa Gorman (8th, 25:02.44) and Virginia Bird (10th, 25:54.70) all placed in the top 10 for Powhatan. All five runners are freshmen.

Junior captain Alexis Elzey took 11th (26:04.50), and Powhatan’s remaining finishers in the race were Sophie Dolan (26:42.91) and Chloe Grell (28:24.28). Manchester senior Mackenzie Young won the race (21:02.07), and her teammates, freshmen Emma Davies (23:13.60) and Cheyenne Hill (24:36.72), placed 3rd and 5th, respectively. Monacan’s Sydney Carlstrom (24:50.20) and Kriston Seward (25:11.64) ran 7th and 9th, respectively. Thomas Dale was the narrow team winner in the boys A race with 38 points against Monacan’s 39 and Manchester’s 43. Juniors Davis and Jackson were fast, as Davis ran a 19:07.62 to finish in the overall top 5, and Jackson took 8th on a 19:34.15. Freshman Gavin Rice ran a 20:23.42 and sophomore Russell Holland notched a 22:01.70. Junior captain Gavin Timmons, who ran 16th with his second-ever best time of 16:46.7 in the massive VTCA cross country invite held 3 days before at Pocahontas

State Park, did not race in the meet on Oct. 1, but he was involved in pumping up the team before the race began, and he could be seen on the course updating the runners on their times as they ran past. Manchester senior Mason White won the boys A race on an 18:10.92. Behind him in the top 5 were Monacan senior Mason Colt (18:41.45), Carver’s Aaron Wilson (18:58.68), Monacan senior Harrison Ivy (19:00.50) and Davis Tester.

BSH FB shows improvement in loss to St. Michael By Kate Gibson Correspondent POWHATAN -- Despite taking a 28-13 setback to St. Michael the Archangel on Friday, the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights showed major improvement in front of their home crowd on Homecoming as they kept a stout Warriors team on their toes all the

way through the fourth quarter. “I think we’re going to take away a lot of positive things from this game tonight,” said BSH head football coach Gary Brock. “The fact that we hung with them -- and a lot of people didn’t give us a chance on it earlier -- that meant a lot.” Brock noted that St. Michael came into the

game with only one loss on the season - a narrow 43-41 defeat to Fuqua. “We’ve improved a lot, and our young guys stepped up tonight and just played their rear ends off,” Brock added. “We just laid it all on the line, and we can’t ask for any more than that.” At the end of the second quarter, down 14-0, Knights junior Ben Newton plucked a St. Michael punt from the sky and ran it to midfield; from there, senior Chase Musselman and junior Dom Falchi chipped away at the Warriors’ defense, and Falchi found an opening to run the ball into the end zone from 5 yards out for the Knights’ first touchdown of the game. With seconds left in the third quarter and his team trailing 28-6, junior Trevor Parker caught another punt and ran it

downfield, setting up his team in strong field position to start the fourth quarter. Parker and Newton kept the momentum, and sophomore Zander Nadeau came through with the catch that put the Knights on the scoreboard once more.

forts stalled out on downs, the first time with 3:19 to play at Bird’s 27 yard line, and again with 1:10 remaining at the visitors’ 16, from which point the Skyhawks kneeled twice to secure the victory. “We have to find a way to score some touchdowns, and we’re struggling with that,” Henderson said. “At some point we’ve got to score.” After Powhatan won the coin toss and deferred to L.C. Bird, the Skyhawks chose to receive, and before the game could even begin, two penalties – an offsides call and a false start – were assessed against Powhatan’s kicking team. The miscues preceded an incendiary 83-yard kick return up the middle from L.C. Bird’s Justice Eason, who stayed on his feet after contact around midfield to finish-off his blistering dash to the house. Powhatan’s first two drives on offense stalled out, and Bird let loose a couple of big plays – a 47-yard romp by Kerlin Miles and Quentin Elliott’s 38yard touchdown pass to Xavier Gordon – to sprint out to a 21-0 lead with more

than a minute still left in the first quarter. But after Powhatan’s offense surged on sophomore quarterback Hans Rehme breaking free for a 43-yard touchdown burst around the right side, the defense held Bird scoreless on its next pair of drives, and Powhatan – after getting the ball back at its 23 but also getting moved back behind its 20 on a pass caught in the backfield – moved over 80 yards to the Skyhawks’ goal line with the help of several personal foul penalties called on the Skyhawks. But Bird kept the Indians from breaking the plane, and the ball got away from the Indians on the turnover on downs; the Skyhawks held onto the ball through the closing seconds of halftime. Morris’ punt return accounted for the only points scored by either team in the second half. Rehme completed 13 of 26 passes for 121 yards, and he rushed for 92 yards and a touchdown. Nate Moyer made 5 catches for 36 yards. Collectively, Powhatan was held to under 100 yards rushing. Powhatan (3-2) will look to bounceback on the road this coming Friday, Oct. 11 at Cosby (4-1) for a 7:30 p.m. matchup.
