Powhatan Today Profi les August 2009 | 3

It is with great pride that I wel-come you to the 2009 edition of the Powhatan County Profi les. We like to think of it as both a

guide to help you get things done, as well as a tool to fi nd the best spots to sit back and not do much of anything at all … except relax that is.

Putt ing the guide together each year is a reminder of how much the coun-ty has grown — even during what has undoubtedly been a diffi cult year economically we have still managed to add new businesses — and how, if you look away for even a minute, Powhatan has something new for residents to enjoy.

One highlight of this year has been the opening of the ball parks at Fight-ing Creek Park, a testament to the in-vestment Powhatan has made in its children.

There are, of course, the old favorites as well. The Powhatan library re-mains a truly impressive sanctuary for residents looking for a quiet place to get away, and the county also add-ed sidewalks in the Village for easier access and walkability.

New things are happening every day, all around us, and we hope you fi nd this edition of Profi les handy as you navigate your way around this wonderful place we call home.

Real estate assessments occur every four years. The Commissioner of the Revenue’s offi ce is responsible for real estate assessments that occur between assessment cycles.

Real estate taxes are due and payable twice a year, June 5 and Dec. 5. Failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve residents of interest and penalties. Ques-tions or concerns should be directed to the Treasurer or Commissioner of the Revenue as soon as they arise.

On August 4, 2009, before a crowd of eager young local ball players and residents, county leaders of-fi cially opened Powhatan’s $3.2 million athletic com-plex at Fighting Creek Park to the public.

Off ering a 16-acre, four-fi eld baseball and soft ball complex in the shape of a cloverleaf, an 18-hole disc-golf course and a network of new trails, the addition is a welcome one for county athletes of all ages.

The 220-acre park already contained three soccer fi elds, a library, the county’s YMCA branch, a Na-tional Guard Armory and an animal shelter.

The idea for the new complex dates back to Super

Bowl Day 1985, when Charlie Green, now a county supervisor, and fellow members of the recreation ad-visory committ ee took a trip to Dorey Park in eastern Henrico County. They saw what the park meant to residents and decided Powhatan needed one, too.

Then they waited. And waited some more.“We were patient but persistent,” he said. “We

never let the ball drop.”The new complex features two 200-foot fi elds,

one 275-foot fi eld and one 300-foot fi eld.

WaterWhile most of Powhatan must

depend on wells, there are privately owned water companies in Powhatan. The two main fi rms are AquaVirginia and Sydnor Hydro.

Although privately-owned, these systems are still required to operate as a public utility in the areas they serve and must meet the same quality standards as any other municipally-owned system. Customers’ water is tested for problems such as bacteria, metals, inorganic materials, high radioactive levels, nitrates, pesticides and other contaminates.

Water and sewer services in Pow-hatan are provided mostly by private wells and septic tanks. Regulations and other information regarding wells may be obtained by calling the environmental health specialist at the Powhatan Health Department at 598-5680.

In order to draw economic devel-opment to the county, Powhatan has started a program to provide water and sewer service to certain areas. A Sewer Service District has been cre-ated by the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors. This district encom-passes the Village as well as the Route 60 corridor, roughly from Bell Road

to Academy Road. A Sewer and Water Service District exists along Rt. 60 from Academy Road to the Powhatan/Chesterfi eld boundary.

The Fighting Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant was opened in 2000. This facility serves the village as well as a portion of Rt. 60. Sewer service is currently available in some areas of the village as well as along Rt. 60 from Mann Road to Academy Road. Future service could be extended along Rt. 60 from Academy Road to Red Lane. Powhatan County does not off er water service in the village area, thus only a Sewer Service District was created. However, public water is available in this area. Aqua Virginia (formerly Sydnor Hydrodynamics) operates a water system and currently serves portions of the village and Rt. 60.

The Dutoy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant was opened in 2003. This facility serves Powhatan High School and portions of Rt. 60. Pow-hatan County also owns and operates the Flat Rock Water system. There are currently two public wells that provide the water for this system. A 500,000 gallon elevated storage facility provides pressure for this system as well as storage for fi re protection. An extension of water infrastructure will

soon be in place that will allow Pow-hatan County to begin using a water source purchased from Chesterfi eld County in the late 1990’s. Currently, sewer and water service is available for a small portion of eastern Rt. 60, from Batt erson Road to the eastern boundary of South Creek Com-mercial Center. When the extension mentioned previously is completed, service will then be available from Batt erson Road to the Powhatan/Ches-terfi eld boundary. Future extensions could make utilities available along Rt. 60 from Batt erson to Rocky Oak Road, then further west to Red Lane.

SNOW CLOSINGS

Inclement Weather PolicyThe decision to close school is

made by the Superintendent with the advice of many others. On mornings when bad weather is forecast, school division employees begin checking the roads at 3:30 AM to 4:00 AM. They also consult with law enforcement, weather services, other school divi-sions, and the highway department. Each section of the county is checked since weather conditions can vary a great deal between the eastern and western areas. The determining factor in making decisions is whether or not it is safe for school buses to travel

The two-hour delay is put into ef-fect for several reasons, the most obvi-ous being that it allows for a rise in temperatures. Second, the bus drivers have greater visibility because they are traveling in daylight. Third, a two-hour delay is sometimes used to al-low more time to observe a situation. Generally, some of the buses are on the road by 6:30 a.m., therefore, a clos-

ing or late opening decision is usually made by 6:00 a.m.

How to fi nd out if there is a delay or closing

When there is closing, delay, or early closing once school is in session, the schools notify major radio and television stations. Parents can re-ceive text message alerts about school closings, delays, or schedule changes by registering on the SchoolDispatch link on the Powhatan County Public Schools web site at www.powhatan.k12.va.us. Parents can also sign up for email notifi cation about changes in the school schedules by logging on to www.schoolsout.com. Both notifi ca-tion systems are free, although your phone carrier may charge for receipt of text messages. Please do not call the schools, central offi ce, or bus shop. Staff will unable to take your calls since they are busy trying to check on road conditions.

Creating a planSometimes the weather or situa-

tion, such as loss of water dictates an early closing. If parents work, they need to develop a plan for the care of their children if school lets out early. Arrangements for responsible adults to meet children at the bus stop should be in place prior to an emergency closing. Teachers need to be made aware of the need to place children on diff erent buses if neces-sary. When the decision is made to close early, it takes approximately one and a half hours for the buses to be in place and ready to leave. Bus drivers must be located and notifi ed to report to work. Dismissal times are stag-gered to allow for double-run buses to return for the second pick-up. Please keep in mind that dismissal times are estimates. During bad weather buses move slowly and may take awhile to arrive home.

The school system stresses the need for working parents to develop a plan for the care of their children when they are not in school. When school closes, especially aft er the school day has begun, children need to know specifi cally where they are to go and what they are to do. Parents need to be very clear in instructing a child to do what they want them to do, such as, go to a grandparent or a trusted neighbor.

HOME SCHOOLINGInformation for Parents from the

Virginia Department of Education’s Home Instruction in Virginia is as follows:

Home Instruction Qualifi cations: As prescribed in § 22.1-254.1 of the Code, any parent who elects to home instruct a child in lieu of school att en-dance must meet certain requirements annually. A parent may home instruct a child if:

I. The teaching parent holds a high school diploma. (Option I)

II. The teaching parent meets the qualifi cations for a teacher prescribed by the Board of Education. (Option II)

III. The teaching parent provides a program of study or curriculum which may be delivered through a correspondence course or distance learning program or in any other manner. (Option III)

IV. The teaching parent provides evidence that the parent is able to provide an adequate education for the child. (§ 22.1-254.1.A) (Option IV)

Parents who wish to homeschool their child(ren) in Powhatan County should submit their Notice of Intent and other documentation to the Pow-hatan County School Board Offi ce by August 15th each year. The contact person is Brenda Voss, Homeschool Registrar, at 598-5700. Parents need

to be aware that they must submit evidence of adequate achievement for each year of home instruction. Home Instruction in Virginia states that “(t)o comply with § 22.1-254.1 of the Va. Code, the parent is required to submit, by the following August 1, evidence of the child’s academic achievement in one of the following ways:

1. Evidence that the child has at-tained a composite score in or above the fourth stanine on any nationally normed standardized achievement test; or

2. An evaluation or assessment which the school division superinten-dent determines to indicate that the child is achieving an adequate level of educational growth and progress.”

Additional options for supplying evidence of achievement include “(a) an evaluation lett er from a person licensed to teach in any state, or a per-son with a master’s degree or higher in an academic discipline, having knowledge of the child’s academic progress, stating that the child is achieving an adequate level of educa-tional growth and progress; or (b) a re-port card or transcript from a commu-nity college or college, college distance learning program, or home-education correspondence school.”

The information manual further states that “If the parent does not pro-vide the required evidence of prog-ress, the superintendent may place the home instruction program on proba-tion for one year. (For the purpose of this provision, “not provided” means either that no information is submitt ed or the child is not making satisfactory academic progress as determined by the results of testing or the results of an evaluation or assessment.) If this happens, the parent will be required to fi le a remediation plan and evidence of the ability to provide an adequate education for the child. The superin-

tendent must determine whether these submissions are adequate.” It should be noted that the “evaluation require-ment does not apply to children under the age of six as of September 30 of the school year.”

“Parents seeking a religious exemption must petition the school board and show that, by reason of bona fi de religious training or belief, the pupil, together with his parents, is conscientiously opposed to att endance at school. The term bona fi de religious training or belief “does not include essentially political, sociological, or philosophical views or a merely per-sonal code.” (§ 22.1-254.B.1) “

on the communities’ assessment of needs and the funds available to assist individuals with a “Hand-up to Self Suffi ciency.” As a non-profi t agency established to serve qualifi ed indi-viduals in need, CAPUP continues to provide services or refer individuals to a variety of service providers for assistance. With more than 2,000 in-dividuals in these two counties living below the poverty level, many contin-ue to be in need of food, clothing and adequate, suitable shelter including indoor plumbing, water and wastewa-ter disposal. Defi ning the number of low-income individuals in Powhatan and Goochland under the state’s defi -nition of “self suffi ciency” indicators, the number of poor exceeds 4,000.

CAPUP provides services that al-low needy individuals to get through a diffi cult period in their life. “Emer-gencies” come in the form of a lay-off , unexpected medical or dental need, vehicle repair work including license plates, inspections and personal property taxes and the need for basic food, clothing and adequate shelter. As an agency, the PGCAA works very closely with the community’s faith-based institutions, civic organizations, service organizations and local gov-ernmental agencies in order to provide

a service and not duplicate a service. They strive to provide a temporary solution, not a lifetime of care.

ORGANIZATIONS

Powhatan Chamber of Commerce3829 Old Buckingham RoadP.O. Box 643Powhatan, VA 23139804 598-2636info@powhatanchamberofcommerce.orgwww.powhatanchamberofcommerce.orgwww.powhatanwinefestival.com

As the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce works toward making a diff erence in the economic climate and quality of life in Powhatan, it continues to grow in number and sig-nifi cance in the Powhatan community. The Chamber promotes economic growth, which in turn strengthens the community. It serves as a liaison be-tween business and community sup-port groups, and disseminates tourist and community information.

The Chamber serves as a link between businesses and commu-nity support groups, and provides a detailed county map as well as the Membership Directory and Consumer Guide. Several years ago the Cham-

ber launched their ongoing “Give Powhatan the Business” campaign to encourage County residents to shop locally. The Chamber continues this campaign designed to keep sales tax dollars at home by creating the aware-ness that when residents spend their money for services within the County, not only do local merchants benefi t, the County benefi ts from sales tax revenues generated.

A primary att raction for new business growth in the County is the absence of a gross receipts-based busi-ness, professional and occupational license tax (BPOL tax). The Chamber is proud to stand up publicly against this unfair tax.

The Chamber is a nonprofi t as-sociation guided by a volunteer Board of Directors. They are: Dan Jones, Christy Polster, Kathy Grasty, Ray Dewey, Sandy Duncan, Coley Ecken-rode, Tuck Pulliam, Ron Smith, Shelia Sowell, and Joe Walton. Sherry Swin-son serves as an ex offi cio member of the board. The board changes every year, with board members serving 3 years terms.

This year has been an exciting year for the Chamber with the addi-tion of Powhatan’s newest community event: Powhatan’s 4th Fridays. Held

the 4th Friday of each month from May thru September, this event is con-sistently drawing approximately 2000 people to Friday Park which has been created in the Southcreek Industrial Park. Many businesses and chari-ties have come together to bring our county together and have given over $10,000 back to the community since its inception in May.

Extension Service/Homemakers Clubs to meet the needs of the less fortunate in our community. In 1988 the pro-gram became the Powhatan Christmas Mother’s Everyday Committ ee, which assists neighbors in need throughout the county. It is in operation through-out the entire year to help families (especially children and the elderly) with special emergencies. The Com-mitt ee and the Christmas Mother work closely with the Social Services Department.

As this is strictly a volunteer program, manpower and funds must be donated by the community. Each year the schools, churches, businesses, community groups and residents donate goods and the funding to pur-chase gift s, food, clothing and toys.

The Christmas Mother Commit-tee has offi ce and storage space in the old War Memorial Building on Skaggs Rd. This is the hub for collecting do-nations, preparation of gift s and gift boxes and the pick up and delivery of Christmas boxes.

The Christmas Mother program accepts monetary donation or con-tribution at any time throughout the year. Next season’s Christmas Mother will be announced in the fall.

Habitat for Humanity Powhatan Post Offi ce Box 416 Powhatan, Va. 23139804-794-1700hfh [email protected]

Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan was established in 2001. Habitat for Humanity is an ecumenical, Chris-tian ministry, founded on the basic principle that all people should have simple, decent housing and that help-ing people get out of housing should be a matt er of conscience.

While the building of a house is what HFH is most well known for, the work of the affi liate goes all year. Other committ ees include construc-tion, public relations, family selection, family support, fi nance and volun-teers. There are many people working behind the scenes, doing things most people never hear about, with the ultimate goal of building a house for another deserving partner family.

Volunteers are always welcome. People wishing to be on the Board, on committ ees, or help in any way are welcome.

Lee Ware represents all of the people of Powhatan and citizens residing in the thirteen precincts of western Chesterfi eld in the Virginia House of Delegates for the 65th District. He is serving his sixth full term. With increasing seniority, Ware has gained increasing stature in the legislature, as refl ected in his appointment during the 2008 Ses-sion as chairman of a major new

joint subcommitt ee of the Coal & En-ergy Commission to oversee a study of Uranium Mining protocols in the Commonwealth.

Delegate Ware serves on three of the principal standing committ ees of the House. He is a ranking member of the Finance and Commerce & Labor committ ees, and he is vice chairman of the committ ee on Agriculture, Chesapeake, and Natural Resources. Further, he serves by appointment as chairmen of two major subcommit-tees. In addition, Speaker William J.

More recently, Speaker Howell has termed Ware “one of my all-time favorite delegates,” and he said that Ware is noted for “the careful and principled deliberation he brings to every issue that comes before the legislature.”

Ware said that, despite his in-creasing responsibilities within the legislature, his fi rst priority remains representing the interests and re-sponding to the needs of his fellow residents of the 65th District. Accord-ingly, he labors to ensure that every

inquiry meets with as prompt and thorough a response as is possible for a citizen-legislator. Ware, 57, served two terms on the Powhatan Board of Supervisors, including one year as chairman, and he was the fi rst public school teacher in modern times to serve, by appointment of Governor George Allen, on the State Board of Education.

Ware taught for 15 years in Pow-hatan High School. Currently he is a teacher of History and Government in Blessed Sacrament Huguenot School. Ware was graduated from Wheaton College with a double major in His-tory and Literature, and he has un-dertaken graduate work at Harvard College and Virginia Commonwealth

One year later, he became the Senate Republican Floor Leader. He served in the State Senate for 3 1/2 years, until his election to the U.S. House of Representatives. Forbes was chief patron of some of Virginia’s most im-portant legislation in the past decade ranging from state funding for school construction to the abolition of parole. From 1997-2001, he also served as the Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia.

Forbes graduated from Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake in 1970. He was valedictorian of his 1974 class at Randolph-Macon College. In 1977, Forbes graduated from the Uni-versity of Virginia School of Law.
