Tomato Festival still a successful tradition

By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Rainy days heading into the 2011 Hanover Tomato Festival couldn’t keep 38,000 people from making their way to Pole Green Park on Saturday. And the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, which started the festival 33 years ago, should see a profit of $13,000 to $15,000 in Hanover Tomato sales.

Last year, the Black Creek VFD made about $10,000. On Monday, Hanover County Parks & Rec director Greg Sager said the expected increase in profits to the department “is great it’s all for a good cause.”

He also said this year’s festival was “probably our second largest event.” In

Sheriff ’s Office preparing for National Night Out he Hanover County Sheriff’s Office has started planning for National Night Out 2011, which will be observed on Tuesday, Aug. 2.

“National Night Out is an annual event designed to strengthen our communities by encouraging neighborhoods to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners,” Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, said. “The goal is to heighten crime-prevention awareness, build support and participation in local anti-crime programs, and, most importantly, send a message that our neighborhoods are

T

organized and fighting back. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get to know your neighbors even better.”

Capt. Michael J. Trice said that any community planning an event, or in need of more information, is asked to contact Deputy Barry Bland at 3657116 or at bwbland@ co.hanover.va by Friday, July 22.

Neighborhood organizations are urged to contact Bland so the Sheriff ’s Office can participate in those communities.

Information submitted by Capt. Michael J. Trice.

Shaffer named director of emergency communications Curtis J. Shaffer has been hired as Hanover County’s new director of Emergency Communications. He begins on Monday, Aug. 1.

Shaffer is currently emergency manager for the City of Hampton and has more than 15 years of experience managing an Emergency Communications Center. He has served the City of Hampton in various capacities since 1988 and also has been a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.

“We are fortunate that Curt Shaffer has decided to join the Hanover senior management team,” said Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr., county administrator. “He offers great leadership experience, emergency manage-

ment knowledge and the technical skills necessary to take our emergency communications operation into the future.”

Assistant county administrator Jim Taylor said Shaffer’s experience in working with a new public safety radio communications system in Hampton brings great value to Hanover, which implemented its new system last year.

“He has had the opportunity to implement a radio system very similar to our new system and this will be critical as we work toward final acceptance and managing its life cycle,” Taylor said. “We also feel that he will be an important player in the region representing Hanover as we work through

banding issues, regional 911 grants and next generation technology.”

Shaffer was selected by Hampton’s city manager last year to reconstitute the Emergency Management Office and transition it into an independent office within the city manager’s office. He also continued as project manager for Hampton’s new communications system, which became operational in December.

Prior to his appointment as cmergency manager, Shaffer had been Emergency Communications cirector for the City of Hampton. In that position he oversaw the see SHAFFER, pg. 8

where she worked as a prosecutor in the Commonwealth Attorney’s office. Violent crime cases became her specialty. “When you get a case as a prosecutor, there are numerous people you’ll be working with. There’s the investigator, forensics people, maybe even specialists about a particular aspect of the case,� she added. “It can take weeks, months and even years to get a case to the point that it’s ready to take to trial.� “There are a lot of variables when you go to trial as to what justice might be,� the new judge said. “Is the person a past offender where a jail term is called for, or is the defendant someone who just made a mistake and maybe community service is appropriate?�

Almost five years ago, Hoehl came back to Hanover as the chief deputy prosecutor in the Commonwealth Attorney’s office. “I’ve always wanted to come back to Hanover County, and this was a great opportunity,� she said.

Now opportunity has knocked again. “In a normal five-day week as a judge, I’ll have one day of criminal court and four days of dealing with family issues. I might deal with foster care issues, child support issues, child custody issues or almost any family issues that are causing problems. My goal is to help these people and give them the support needed to become a whole family again.�

Hoehl has plenty of support at home.

Her husband Andrew is an Investigator for the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office.

“We’ve had quite a few discussions about my becoming a judge. To avoid any conflict of interest, I’ll not try his cases. I haven’t tried any as a prosecutor and will not as a judge. When one of his cases comes up, Judge Patricia Kelly will come down from Spotsylvania [County] to hear it and I’ll go there.�

Hoehl’s last day in the Commonwealth Attorney’s office was June 24. Before she heard her first case on July 1, she had to attend New Judge’s School. “It’s in Richmond and there will be a courtroom where mock trials will be held.

New judges from all over Virginia will be there. We’ll hear cases and there will be actors playing the various roles. Then, we’ll render decisions. There will be experienced judges present who will talk with us about how we’ve done in class and also about expectations we must now strive to meet.�

When asked what kind of judge she was going to be, she had an honest answer. “I don’t know. I think a lot of people expect me to be a hard-nosed judge. I believe a judge has to be able to listen, know the rules of evidence and be fair in the way he interprets the law and the decision he hands down. “I’m going to be one of the younger judges (38) and I think that’s good. I’m sure I’ll make mistakes, but I plan to be doing this for a long time. So, I’ve got a long time to work at getting it right.�

And she didn’t even need a scarecrow, tin man or cowardly lion to help her.

my mother and go upstairs and watch court. I’d watch Nina try cases and daydream about what it would be like if I was the judge.�

Hoehl, isHanover County native, is the daughter of parents John and Helen O’Connell. She said her parents have always supported her interest in the law. “While mom was a paralegal most of my childhood, before I was born, my father had been a police officer,� she said. “Even after he left police work, he had a great sense of justice and how important it was in someone’s life.�

Hoehl’s undergraduate degree is in history from Virginia Tech. “I just loved going to class and listening to my history professors tell me a story,� she said. “I made good grades and a lot of it was because I was able to remember what the professor had told me in class about a subject.�

She said having a good memory is an attribute all lawyers and judges need. “My legal career, up to this point ,has been as a prosecutor, where you have to be able to study and remember the facts of a case, especially when you are trying to sell your case to a jury. As a judge, you have to be able to remember the facts lawyers present to the court so you can make a fair and just decision.�

After graduating from law school at DePaul, she returned to Newport News

said Winans, “but our board has worked together with staff to keep the tax rate the lowest in the region, even while less revenue was coming into the county. We decided to make budget cuts everywhere we could instead of laying off valuable employees. Our efforts proved worthwhile when our county received a triple-AAA bond rating in May 2010, our public school system ranked as

one of the top in Virginia while at the same time being one of the lowest in per student costs, and our sheriff ’s department continued to maintain a low crime rate and keep our neighborhoods safe.“ Winans currently serves as a representative to the Capital Area Alcohol Safety Action Program board, the Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the Richmond Regional Planning District Commission.

She also serves on the board’s Finance and Rules com-

mittees, as well as being the board representative on the Historical Commission, Social Services Board and Hanover’s Promise.

Having completed the Virginia Association of County’s Certified County Supervisor Program in 2009, Winans also participated in the Leadership Metro Richmond Program in 2010. She said she brings the knowledge gained from both programs back to Hanover to better serve its citizens. “I really do appreciate the

confidence the citizens of Mechanicsville showed in me four years ago by electing me to this position.� Winans said. “I’ve done my best to represent the values and concerns of the citizens I serve. I’m committed to maintaining the great achievements we’ve been able to accomplish here in Hanover County, and I would appreciate the opportunity to return to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors for another four years to continue to improve the county’s service to its citizens.�

TOMATO Continued from pg. 1

2009, 42,000 people attended, filling the park and experiencing traffic tie-ups that have led to ongoing attempts to ease congestion.

Committee members and volunteers in the tomato tent, which is always in the center on the park grounds, celebrated with the last bag of tomatoes being sold as the festival drew to a close at 4 p.m. “At 4 o’clock sharp,� Sager said, “we sold the last bag of tomatoes, which I don’t know how we could have timed it any better than that.� Two hundred bushels are purchased and, he added, “that’s 400 boxes of tomatoes.�

A high point of the day is the crowning of the 2011 Tiny Miss and Little Miss Hanover Tomato Festival. Director Lynn Watson, who emceed the pageant on June 25, brought the 29 contestants to the stage in the main tent as she announced the winners. Claiming the titles were Miranda Paige Gagnon, Tiny Miss, and Sydney Waldrop, Little Miss.

He praised the volunteers, noting those who “actually volunteered for parking,� rather than the “fun� events like the children’s area. Sgt. Gary Abele, whose wife Janet works for Parks & Rec, brought National

Guard members to help with traffic control. Lt. Kenny Epling of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office heads up traffic. Deputies were positioned in several locations along Pole Green Road. “The guardsmen did a phenomenal job,� Sager said. “Everybody who volunteered had a smile on their faces.� He also acknowledged the support of spouses of Parks & Rec employees who volunteered their time to the festival.

Despite plans to use Tate Lane as an exit, rainy conditions that started on Wednesday and continued through Friday forced motorists to leave on the same road on which they entered.

According to Sager, the rain gauge at the park measured five inches total since Wednesday. Three and a half inches fell on Friday.

The rainfall saturated the

grounds, but it did not dampen the spirits of those participating or attending.

Rain also was an issue last year, when a downpour struck about 90 minutes after the festival began.

Looking back to 2010, Sager said the estimated 35,000 who turned out on Saturday was “a lot more than last year. The weather was obviously a whole lot better than last year, but not nearly the record we had two years ago when we were busting at the seams.�

Last year, Sager said “just under 25,000� attended, citing the inclement weather as a factor. “We were going to use Tate Lane,� Sager said about the traffic situation. “The new access road was a muddy mess, so we did not get an opportunity to use that or a few other areas at the park because we had three

inches of rain on Friday. That was what our rain gauge measured for Friday alone and five inches since Wednesday.�

With the exception of the parking areas, which Sager said “were fine,� the Tomato Festival Committee and volunteers could not keep grassy areas from being soggy. “The good news is no one had to be towed out of there,� he added. No spectators The only vehicle that had difficulty because of the wet grounds was an ice truck that became stuck in one of the middle aisles around 8 a.m. “We were able to get it extracted,� Sager said. “It was probably 10 o’clock before we were able to get him out of there.�

He did say that the stuck truck did provide for some humorous moments. “It was

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

33 years later: Tomato Festival still delivers The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl, serial killer Ted Bundy was captured, Annie Hall won the Oscar for Best Picture, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds got his 3,000 Major League hit, Louise Brown became the world’s first test tube baby born, Pope John Paul II became the first Polish pope, the Camp David Accords are signed between Israel and Egypt, the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series, and Jim Jones led his Peoples Temple cult in a mass murder-suicide in Guyana.

When Mechanicsville-area residents think back to 1978, some of the news items listed above may come to mind, but what stands out here is that was the year the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department started the Hanover Tomato Festival. And, 33 years later, it remains “the” event in our community.

Thanks to those efforts three decades ago, the Tomato Festival reigns supreme in what is a must-do day. Saturday’s 2011 version continued the tradition, with many vendors, entertainers, attendees and, most of all, the Hanover Tomato.

The festival serves as the major fundraiser for the Black Creek VFD. To the department, this is a year-round project. Oscar Watson, who has been with the festival since day one, is always working and planning ahead. In addition to his responsibilities with the VFD, he is a member of the Tomato Festival Committee.

While most of us can venture out to Pole Green Park for a day of enjoyment, there are so many people working tirelessly to make the festival a success — and their efforts are greatly appreciated.

This year — despite forecasts of continued rainfall — saw a very successful Tomato Festival. The park was filled with the sights and sounds of a good time being had.

As we look forward to 2012 — and Oscar and the committee start working on the 34th festival — we must thank all those involved in bringing this to our community. The Black Creek VFD has come a long way in the way this event has evolved — and we thank them.

Criticism warranted I feel that Mr. Jennings’ criticism of Jamelle Wilson, who is now our new superintendent of schools, is definitely warranted.

Do we really want a superintendent of schools who would make such asinine statements as she made concerning the word “Dixie?”

Jamelle must go into trauma every time she picks up the well-known drinking cup by the sane name.

Are we not all sick of this political correctness in our country?

Did we not just see the words “Under God” edited out of the children’s Pledge of Allegiance on TV at the start of the U.S. Open golf tournament?

Mr. Hinos missed the point completely.

Jamelle’s remarks on the word “Dixie” indeed gives exposure of policy decision in this same mode in the future.

Yes, Mr. Jennings, this is a problem in America today.

WWII veterans invited to take part in D.C. trip The United States is losing its World War II veterans at a rate of 1,200 per day. The Honor Flight Program is dedicated to making sure all WWII veterans are provided a chance to be safely taken to the memorial that was built in their honor on the National Mall in Washington, DC. With that goal in mind, the local Honor Flight Chapter (HFHTVA) has scheduled its sixth trip to Washington on Saturday, Oct. 22.

The bus trip will depart from Imperial Plaza in Richmond, after a departure ceremony. The event is open to all WWII veterans who have not already visited the WWII memorial, free of charge.

Veterans interested in participating must submit an application available at www.honorflightHTVA.org or call toll-free at 1-877-424-VETS. Bob Doherty, director of the local Honor Flight Chapter, said, “The opportunity for WWII veterans to see this magnificent memorial is a not to be missed experience.�

The first five Honor Flight trips included more than 300 WWII veterans and the universal reaction was one of sincere enjoyment and appreciation. Veterans from Richmond, Petersburg, Charlottesville and Hampton Roads participated.

Honor Flight is a local nonprofit organization that conducts bi-annual charter bus day trips

for veterans to visit the National World War II Memorial.

Veterans also visit the Arlington National Cemetery and the National Museum of the Marine Corps. All veterans on the trip are accompanied by a trained volunteer guardian, who will assist the veteran for the entire day, and a staff of paramedics. Wheelchair-bound veterans can be accommodated. Meals are provided to all attendees.

HFHTVA also is looking for volunteers to serve as guardians for the trips to stand in as caregivers and ensure the safety of each veteran.

Those interested can submit an application available at the HFHTVA website.

----HFHTVA is a nonprofit organization formed in 2008 and is a part of the national Honor Flight Network.

Through 2010, the national Honor Flight Network has taken 63,000 veterans to the WWII memorial and the goal for 2011 is an additional 37,000 veterans.

There are more than 100 chapters of Honor Flight in almost all states.

Donations to support this program are welcomed. All donations are tax-deductible and can be made at www.honorflightHTVA.org.

Sierra Club oďŹƒcial addresses King William Democrats Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Glen Besa, state director of the Virginia Chapter of the Sierra Club, recently addressed the Democratic Committee of King William County about clean wind energy. He said Dominion Virginia Power should invest in the project.

He listed several economic benefits and jobs their efforts could mean to the Commonwealth, including

ports and industries involved in the manufacture, transport and erection of the technology.

He said that off-shore wind is more constant than inland locations.

The Hanover Arts and Activities Center in Ashland once again played host to town residents with its annual Fourth of July celebration. A parade, as well as festivities on the lawn of the center, highlight the event. In the photo at left above, the Lawn Chair Brigade makes its way along the parade route. Above, a patriotic pet shows off its American flavor. At left, the Latin Academy participates in the parade. Below left, “Dancing Uncle Sams” strut their stuff for the crowd. Below, the Civil Air Patrol Virginia Wing proudly displays the American flag.

Parsons’ Cause continues Saturday The Parsons’ Cause Foundation Inc. will present free public performances of The Parsons’ Cause — Prelude to Revolution this summer on the following dates: July 16, July 30 and Aug. 13.

The performances will get under way at 11 a.m. at the historic Hanover Courthouse (U.S. 301/Hanover Courthouse Road).

In 1763, in a court case known as The Parsons’ Cause, which

took place in the same courthouse, Patrick Henry was thrust into the forefront of Colonial legal and political circles by challenging the authority of the Church of England and the King of England.

Audience members are encouraged to participate by assuming roles as jurors, parsons, parties to the case, or gentleman justices.

Math and reading center to open Kumon, the world’s largest after-school math and reading enrichment program will open a new center in Mechanicsville.

The center, located at 7230 Bell Creek Road, Suite J, will open its doors in August.

“At Kumon, we believe children have unlimited potential to succeed,” said owner Gargi Pal. “Our goal is to help each child develop strong academic skills, a love of learning and the confidence to excel beyond the classroom.”

Kumon’s individualized approach helps children progress by ability rather than age or grade. In the U.S., 200,000 students from preschool to high school are developing advanced skills and confidence through Kumon’s Method of Learning.

In a recent report, “Teaching Math to the Talented,” published in Education Next, American students were significantly outperformed by 33 countries, including Taiwan, Hong Kong,

South Korea and Finland.

Pal said she was inspired to help students through the after-school enrichment program due to America’s lack of advanced students and the impacts on the country’s future economic growth. More than half of U.S. Kumon students study advanced math, and 24 percent of these students are learning materials two to three years above their grade level.

Gargi holds an MBA from see CENTER, pg. 17

Knollwood adds curbside recycling On July 1, Knollwood became the 17th subdivision in Hanover County to receive curbside recycling through an arrangement made with the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority.

Knollwood and the other subdivisions that participate

in the program have been designated as special recycling tax districts by the Board of Supervisors. Each household within these curbside recycling districts pays $22.80 annually for the service, collected through the real estate tax bill.

If you live in a subdivision

that might be interested in becoming a special Recycling Service District, call the Department of Public Works at 365-6181 for more information about how the program works.

Luthern Family Services also recognizes mentors at picnic at local church On June 27, Lutheran Family Services of Virginia (LFSV) honored its foster and adoptive families and mentors at its annual picnic hosted by Messiah Lutheran Church in Mechanicsville.

LFSV is a nonprofit, mission-driven organization dedicated to placing children in foster care with loving families in temporary and permanent homes. It also coordinates mentoring services for foster children with positive, caring adults who bring them potential for personal, social, and vocational growth.

The organization serves the entire community regardless of religious affiliation.

LFSV is a family-oriented agency, not only in its mission in finding loving homes, programs, and services for foster children, but also in its desire to maintain relationships with the children and adults involved. “We enjoy seeing the connections made and the benefits to the children that occur while the children are in foster care and after they leave the system,� Amy Dyer, lead services manager at LFSV in Richmond, said. “We also see former foster children, now adults and parents, maintaining connections with their foster families and LFSV.�

Also volunteering at the celebration was Maurice Gallimore, family resource coor-

Taneika Goldman, services manager and MentorMatch coordinator, was also present. She described the event and its relationship with Messiah Lutheran Church as “divine.�

She also emphasized LFSV’s need for volunteers and adoptive and foster fami-

lies.

Bennett Funeral Home, the Richmond Kickers and magician John Smallie also were thanked for their support of the event.

Of the 11 fatal crashes, at least four were alcohol-related.

At least five of the crash victims were not wearing seat belts.

The Albemarle County crash claimed the life of a Crozet man who was riding a motorcycle.

“To see traffic deaths spike so significantly from one year to the next, with alcohol and a lack of seat belt usage as common factors, is extremely alarming,” said Col. W. Steven Flaherty, Virginia State Police superintendent. “These are more than just statistics — they are people’s lives and loved ones.

For two years, he has been learning about residential driveway seal coating. His business, Seal This! LLC, is based in Mechanicsville.

He decided to pursue a full-time direction with his “side� job, based on what he called “the demand for a trustworthy driveway sealing company.�

“Since opening our doors, we’ve sealed over 500 driveways and several parking lots in the greater Richmond area,�

Steve said. “My goal is to create a company that homeowners can trust and depend on while providing quality craftsmanship�.

He said his business is unique in that the sealer is hand applied with squeegees versus being sprayed. In addition to that method of applying the sealer, he said his business will trim the grass along the driveway, clean the surface, fill any

Fashion show from a personal perspective

By Forrest H. Gladstone news@mechlocal.com When my mother called to ask if I wanted to be in a fashion show to raise money for Hanover County’s Hilliard House, I made some vague noises about how that sounded fun and could she please send me some more information?

Then she mentioned it was a wedding dress fashion show.

“Yes. Done. I’m there. No more details necessary.”

The words were out of my mouth almost before she finished speaking.

Why do wedding dresses hold such an intense fascination and appeal, even to those of us with no immediate plans to marry? Sure, they’re pretty, but it’s easy enough to play dressup in gorgeous dresses at any department store. What sets a wedding dress apart?

The Hilliard House’s annual fashion show and afternoon tea at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center is an anticipated event in Hanover.

This year’s theme, “All Weddings Are Royal,” paid respect to the recent marriage of Prince William of England to Kate Middleton, featuring dresses from the late 1800s to present day. Nearly every decade was represented, and each dress was exquisite. However, what was striking, particularly from a behind-the-scenes perspective, was how each dress transformed once on its model.

Hanging, the dresses were a collective mass of white satin, tulle, silk and lace. At times it was difficult to tell where one began and another ended.

Photo submitted by Lauren Earley

Participating in the wedding dress fashion show were, from left, Maggie Gladstone, Emma Gladstone, Forrest Gladstone, Rebecca Sherrod, Brooke Tyson, Noah Maphis and Lauren Earley.

My sister Emma was modeling our mother’s dress — a gown with which she clearly was very familiar — and even she had a couple false starts trying to find it on the rack.

But once on the models, it was hard to understand how any of the dresses had ever seemed remotely similar.

From the tiny girls modeling the flower-girl dresses, to teens and women modeling the actual wedding gowns, every single model looked as though her dress had been made just for her.

And though this wasn’t as much of a surprise in cases like my sister and model Elizabeth Papoulakos, who were wearing their mothers’ dresses, it was impressive considering most of the models not only lacked this direct connection to their dress but also were not wearing a style they necessarily would have picked out themselves.

Mollie Hargrove wore a delicate 1950s tulle and lace princess-style dress that fit her like a glove, and made it impossible to envision on anyone else.

Lauren Earley was dressed in a fitted 1940s suit with black details and looked as though she had stepped straight out of The Notebook.

Brooke Tyson and Noah Maphis both went barefoot in their 1970s empire waist gowns and the hippie influence was

clear even before they donned crowns of flowers.

My youngest sister, Maggie, wore a western-style dress with beaded fringe, complete with white boots and a cowboy hat (veil attached!) and instead of looking like a costume, it somehow worked.

It made me think: Maybe the appeal of wedding dresses, especially those that have been worn before, is the knowledge of the sort of dreams attached to them. It’s impossible to laugh or poke fun, even at the more outrageous styles, because a wedding dress is more than a fashion statement — it’s a reflection of the personality of the bride and her hopes for the future, from the simplest suit to the most extravagant gown.

And what stylists Chris McKelvy, Lori Foley and Carol Kennedy managed to do beautifully was match each dress with the model able to communicate that dress’s unique perspective.

As for me, I was assigned a 1920s lace flapper-style gown, with a matching hat that sat low on my forehead, almost at my eyebrows. I felt like Daisy from The Great Gatsby.

I won’t be the judge of whether or not my dress suited me the way I observed others’ suiting them, but I will say this: When the show ended, I was sad to change back into my jeans.

Battlefields offer ‘History at Sunset’ series

Resolution for Buddy Photo submitted by Carol Umbel

Del. John Cox, left, R-55, along with Aubrey M. “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, recently presented Hilda Kelly with a resolution in memory of Buddy Kelly, who served in the U.S. Air Force and was the first paid Hanover County fire chief. He was the first firector of the Office of Fire Service Training for Virginia appointed by Gov. John Dalton. He was very active in many civic groups, including the Ashland Lions Club, Richmond Metropolitan Lodge #11, A.F. & A.M., Hanover AARP Chapter, Hanover County Council on Aging, Hanover County Veterans Memorial Foundation, and the executive committee of the History and Heritage of Hanover County Inc. He also was an active member of St. James the Less Episcopal Church and a longtime member of Hanover Country Club. He was a recipient of the Melvin Jones Fellow Award in 2001 and the Andrus Award in 2009. In 2010, he received a resolution from the Hanover County Board of Supervisors for his lifetime of service to Hanover County. The resolution was presented to Mrs. Kelly at the kickoff fundraiser for Stanley for Supervisor. Stanley said he has dedicated the 2011 election campaign in memory of Buddy Kelly.

Women house painters share their skills on Style Network In April, S&S Painting LLC of Mechanicsville was selected

by Style Network to appear on its Emmy Award-winning show, “Clean House.”

This year, a Richmond area resident won “Messiest Home in the Country” and received a complete home makeover, courtesy of Clean House.

The all-women crew of S&S Painting of Mechanicsville was chosen to complete the interior painting of the 2,800-squarefoot home in the historical Bon Air neighborhood.

“Painting every inch of a house this size in less than 24 hours seemed like an impossible task, but we did it.” S&S coowners Stacey Spear and Valerie Abbott said. “As huge fans of the show, we all knew we couldn’t turn down this challenge. It was fun and it was hard work.”

The show aired on June 29 on Style Network.

A sudden changing of the guard at RIR Bickmeier named new track president; Fritz resigns

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last Wednesday morning, International Speedway Corporation (ISC), announced that Richmond International Raceway President Doug Fritz had resigned and 44-year-old Dennis Bickmeier, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Michigan Speedway, would replace him.

Only five days earlier it appeared to be business as usual when Fritz held a press conference at Daytona International Speedway to introduce a new track promotion entitled “The Road to Richmond”. On the same day RIR and Fritz also announced the track would install SAFER barriers along the backstretch wall prior to this September’s race. Therefore the change in track leadership came as a sudden and unexpected announcement, shocking both local race fans and the community around RIR that had worked closely with Fritz.

Bickmeier indicated that he was equally caught off guard in taking over for Fritz, having been told he would become the president at RIR sometime shortly before the change was announced Wednesday morning. “I got up, packed and got

Above left: New Richmond International Raceway President Dennis Bickmeier met with local media members on Friday morning to talk about making the move to Virginia. The press conference followed a tumultuous Wednesday when International Speedway Corporation, owner of RIR unexpectedly announced that former President Doug Fritz (above right) had resigned and Bickmeier would take over the lead role in Richmond.

on an airplane and got here late Wednesday evening,” he said. “I got to meet the team (Thursday) for the first time at 10 o’clock.

“I tell you I was nervous but excited,” Bickmeier said. “In a short amount of time, just the range of emotions was really great and trying to sort through all of those. As I told the group yesterday, I have a thousand things going through my head and they all want to come out at the same time.”

Though RIR will be Bickmeier’s first stint as a track president, he comes to Richmond with a diverse range of experience in both professional and college sports. Bickmeier, who grew up in southeastern Ohio along the Ohio River and began his professional sports career in sales, promotions and public relations for the Los Angeles Rams from 19891993. From 1993-97 he served as Information Director for the Big West Conference and from

1997-99 he was the Manager of Community Relations for Disney-owned Anaheim Sports Inc., which owned MLB Angels and MLH Mighty Ducks.

But it was helping out a friend at the newly built California Speedway in 1997 that set him on his road to Richmond. “I wasn’t a race fan,” Bickmeier said. “A buddy of mine needed help, he was a PR director. He called in some resources for help. I went there and I was just, ‘Wow, this is amazing.’”

On his way out of the media center following that race Bickmeier got an unexpected ride to the parking lot from track owner Roger Penske. The trip took 45 minutes as Penske picked Bickmeier’s brain on what he thought worked and didn’t work with the track opening. “I remember telling him, ‘I’ve worked Super Bowls and I was like, this is like putting on a Super Bowl,” Bickmeier said the feeling has remained with him fol-

lowing every race since. “I get through an event I’m like, we just put on a Super Bowl and NASCAR does this 36 times, but I’ve grown to love it for sure.”

So much so that Bickmeier became the full time PR director at California’s Auto Club Speedway in 1999 and eventually moved on to his position in Michigan.

Bickmeier indicated that he never interviewed for the see RIR, pg. 31 `

Post 175 enjoying role as ‘the’ target team Mechanicsville enters final week of regular season leading league

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com On Thursday night, former Hanover Hawk Travis Tyree stepped to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning with his Post 175 team holding a 10-3 lead over visiting Glen Allen Post 244. Subbing for Hank Parsley, it was Tyree’s only at-bat of the game but that was all it took to make his night. With one out and bases loaded, Tyree blasted a shot to the centerfield fence for a three-RBI double that ended the game by the 10-run rule and kept Mechanicsville atop the American Legion standings with a 14-2 record as of Sunday evening.

“No I didn’t really work up a sweat today,” Tyree said. “It was really fun. I was kind of glad I got to get in and get on that ball.”

While getting the win may have never been in question versus Post 244, Coach Eddie Gates felt getting the early end to the contest was very important.

“We’re at the position now where we’re playing so many games in very short days that the shorter games, it’s going to benefit us,” he said. “I don’t have to use the pitching.

With a rescheduled rain-out on Monday throw in, Post 175 is set to play seven games in six days.

“The number of games we’ll play in the next seven/eight days is a bunch, then playoffs start,” Gates said. “It could be a tight situation. The shorter game, it sure benefits us.”

Tyree’s game-ending hit was only further evidence as to the depth of talent on the Mechanicsville team. Besides

Tyree, Patrick Holler and Rich Hurson picked up hits on their only trips to the plate in the final innings.

“Players came in, substitutes, hit the ball,” Gates said. “That’s what you’ve got to have.”

With the team still having not reached its peak, infielder Conner Hall feels team numbers compensate for lapses. “We’ve always got room to improve, but we’ve just got so much depth, when somebody’s having a bad game, one-through-the-whole-team we can hit the ball.”

And due to such depth Post 175 finds themselves in the unusual position as ‘the’ team to beat, leading the American Legion as the regular season winds to a close.

“It actually feels pretty good,” Tyree said. “Everybody wants to beat us. We’re the team to beat and we’ve got the talent to go all the way I believe.”

Hall agrees. “It’s just awesome to be #1 and know that everybody is coming after you,” he said.

“It makes you step your game up so you don’t disappoint your

legion or your fans or everybody that comes to the game.”

Gates feels his players feed off of the pressure. “It’s fun to get in this situation where everybody’s trying to beat you,” Gates said.

“You can see the intensity level on some of the teams picks up when they play a first place team.”

Against Post 244, Mechanicsville pitcher Michael Thomas started slow but got himself out of early jam. Glen Allen’s Chance Yahley led off with a single to short and moved into scoring position on a bunt from Nick Toombs. Post 175 appeared to be in position to get a double play when Toomb’s bunt went to Thomas but the field umpire blocked his throw to second leaving only the option of a force at first.

But Yahley pushed his luck in an attempt to reach third on a single to short from Andrew Props and was tagged out by Jordan Boze allowing Post 175 to escape unscathed on a strikeout of Korey Smith.

Any slips Thomas may have shown on the mound where

quickly erased by his presence at the plate as the lead off batter. On the night Thomas was 3-for-3 with a double, triple and two RBI. ‘I’m swinging pretty good right now,” he said. “I had a bad game the other day and came back, got a couple hits here to help out.”

Post 175 got on the board in the bottom of the first when Thomas tripled to right then scored on Will Connerley’s ground-out to short.

Mechanicsville widened their lead to 5-0 in the bottom of the second. Ryan Bettinger led off with a single to right and Hall followed with a double to right center. A single up the middle from Zach Broaddus drove them both home. Thomas drove Broaddus home on a shot to right center.

Glen Allen answered in the top of the third. Pierce Colley reached on a lead-off walk and advanced on a single to short left from Yahley. A sacrifice bunt from Elliott Cliborn advanced both runners and they scored on a single from Smith to pull within 5-2.

Post 175 tacked on four more

runs in the bottom of the fourth.

Broaddus was dinged by a pitch to start things off, advanced on a single from Parsley and came home on a sacrifice from Jack Edwards. A single from Thomas drove in Parsley and a two-run homer from Connerley gave Mechanicsville a 9-2 edge.

The lead moved to 10-2 on a fifth inning RBI double from Parsley which drove home Broaddus.

Post 244 added one more in the top of the sixth on a RBI double from Jackson Wright to set up Tyree’s game ender in the seventh.

Last Tuesday, Mechanicsville suffered only its second loss of the season (both on the road), falling 6-5 at Post 361. But following the win over Glen Allen, Post 175 swept 244-B in a double-header on Saturday then beat host 284-P on Sunday. Mechanicsville’s final four games come on their home field at Atlee.

“We haven’t lost on this field yet so I think we’re pretty comfortable here,” Tyree said.

But biggest game down the

stretch comes on Tuesday night at Atlee against Post 125, a team that handed them their first loss of the season and sits 1/2 game back in the statndings.

Post 175 then closes out the regular season with home matchups against Powhatan Post 201 on Wednesday and Midlothian Post 186 on Thursday, all at 7 p.m..

While finishing the regular season on top is a milestone for Mechanicsville, the players know they need to accomplish more.

“The regular season doesn’t matter except for your seed,” Hall said. “You still have to come to play in the tournament.”

Times-Dispatch Athletes of the Year

File photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local

Lee-Davis junior Kelly Heinz, above, and Atlee senior Cameron Overstreet, left, were named All-Metro Players of the year in softball and girls outdoor track. Heinz led the Confederates to the VHSL Group AAA state championship while Overstreet claimed a Group AAA state championship in the pole vault while tying the state record.

Lee-Davis’ Kelly Heinz also is an offensive force for state champions

Commitment has been springboard to success for Atlee’s Overstreet

By Arthur Utley Media General News Services Kelly Heinz whiffed Battlefield’s Kat Palmer for the final out of the Group AAA softball tournament championship game and turned her attention to onrushing LeeDavis teammates converging to celebrate the state title they had just won.

Softball pitchers, especially the good ones, are the center of attention in any game. Heinz, a junior, had been brilliant again.

She struck out 16 in the final and drove in the only run. She allowed five hits, two more than she had given up in the previous five games.

Her teammates’ defense, which had faltered and contributed to a loss in the 2010 state final, was nearly perfect through the region and state

By Chris Harris Media General News Services “Give 100 percent all of the time.”

That reminder is one of many movitational lines found in the journal kept by Cameron Overstreet, The Times-Dispatch girls outdoor track and field athlete of the year.

The Atlee senior read words of inspiration during her pole vault competitions to maintain focus.

On the surface, it almost seems that for every line written and every page completed, another height is cleared and another meet is won.

But this season has culminated a two-year plan.

“Two years ago, coach [Kyle] Bishop sat down with the pole vaulters and changed our techniques. So last year was a

tournaments The celebration at the back of the circle was a celebration of team.

“We really grew toward the end of the season. They always supported me and showed me they were there, and that I didn’t have to do it on my own,” Heinz said.

Said shortstop Taylor Melton, a senior: “We have confidence in (Kelly’s) ability, but we have to make the plays to keep us ahead.”

The day before the state semifinal game against Grassfield (Chesapeake), Heinz was named the Virginia Gatorade player of the year.

Postseason honors had come Heinz’s way before, but all had been for pitching.

She was the Capital District pitcher of the year the past two

seasons and was the pitcher of the year in the Central Region and for The Times-Dispatch All-Metro team as a sophomore.

The Gatorade award and the 2011 Times-Dispatch player of the year honor, for which Heinz is the recipient, recognize her for more than pitching. She can hit (.455 batting average, 5 home runs, 26 RBIs), and as coach Jackie Davis points out, “She fields her position very, very well. She knows what to do with the ball when it’s hit to her.”

Heinz, who has committed to Virginia Tech, wants to be an all-around player.

“I don’t want to be seen as the girl who can only pitch.

That doesn’t make you a softball player,” she said. see HEINZ, pg. 30 `

little rough. But looking back, I couldn’t have wished for a better senior year,” Overstreet said.

Overstreet sparkled in 2011.

Her harvest included a victory at the prestigious Penn Relays Carnival. She also broke a record at the Southern Track Classic (12-1) and tied the mark in the State Group AAA meet (12-6).

Her effort at the state meet enabled Overstreet to complete high school with a state title and all state distinction.

“It is rare to have a young person that is willing to say that they’ll work two years for a goal.

But Cameron was willing to do it,” Bishop said. “She was willing to put up with all of the things I felt she needed to do to prepare for a successful season.”

Bishop added, “We had a rough outdoor season because

the weather disrupted our training cycle. But she hung in there.”

Overstreet will continue her education and competitive career at North Carolina. And while she will be the youngest of three pole vaulters on the Tar Heels’ roster this fall, she concedes nothing to anyone.

“My goal next year is to be in the top three in any ACC championship I compete in,” she said.

Overstreet believes she will take a big step in that direction if she follows another line she has written in her journal: “Leave it all on the track.”

HIENZ Continued from pg. 29 b

What position, then, would she play if she weren’t pitching?

“Wherever the coaches needed me; probably first base or the outfield,” she said. “It would take some getting used to, but it’s always a good thing to play another position.” Heinz won’t be moving to a new position. She finished this year 22-1 with a 0.09 ERA. She struck out 292 in 151 innings.

High school pitchers threw from 43 feet this season. In previous years, the distance was 40 feet.

Whereas batters got a little extra time to see a pitch, some pitchers, Heinz among them, benefited from the longer distance.

Heinz pitched from 43 feet in travel ball before the 2010 high school season and had to re-adjust to the shorter distance.

This year, she didn’t have to make the adjustment.

Hanover coach Chris Pace was quoted in the Gatorade press release as saying, “She can throw it into a shoebox at 60 miles per hour from 43 feet.”

He can revise that speed to 67-68 mph.

“She kept telling me last year that it was going to help her to move to 43 feet, and I think it really did,” Davis said. “It

allowed her ball the extra time to move. Her ball movement this year was way above what it was last year, and she’s by far the fastest pitcher in the area. No one is close.”

president’s position at RIR. “I’d like to think I’ve been interviewing for the past 10 years,” he said. Bickmeier became one of the first to take part in an ISC development program created among track vice presidents several years ago.

While the announcement of the transition at RIR came as a surprise, the change in presidency will go smoothly as Fritz has indicated he will provide assistance to Bickmeier and has already contacted him via email.

“Change is never easy and I think that’s why it was so important to get here as fast as I could,” Bickmeier said. “It was so important to get here and see these guys (RIR staff) and let them see me and tell them my story and how I got from small town Ohio to here.”

Also key for Bickmeier is maintaining the foundation of community relations that Fritz has established over his 12 years at the track. Bickmeier’s first

order of business after reaching Richmond on Wednesday night was to personally call each member of the local community group that has worked with Fritz in the past.

“I thought it was very important for me,” Bickmeier said. “It’s going to be very important for me to meet them face to face and continue to move forward with the foundation that’s been established because they’re impacted no doubt about it.”

The new track president also wants to create a close connection with any fan of RIR and plans to set up a direct email account. “I want one where they can reach me directly and I will respond,” he said. For the time being, Bickmeier can be emailed at ririnfo@rir.com.

Bickmeier plans to establish his own path when it comes to the future of RIR and was given no indication from ISC that there were any problems under Fritz’s leadership. “They’ve not told me one thing, that this wasn’t right or this wasn’t right here… The only thing I’ve been told, three

ESPN3 to show entire Legion World Series Contributed report ESPN and the Cleveland County American Legion World Series Committee have agreed to a four-year contract, beginning Aug. 12-16, to feature all 15 American Legion Baseball World Series games on ESPN3, the network’s live sports broadband network. The games, taking place in Shelby, N.C., will be shown online and on mobile devices to Internet customers with high-speed connections from affiliated service providers.

In addition to coverage of the games, ESPN3 also will provide coverage of events associated with the World Series, such as the Legion’s salute to military families and Blue Star Banner Day on Aug. 14, and the Ronnie Dunn concert on Aug. 11. The network also will provide coverage of the presentation of a Gold

Star Banner to the family of a North Carolina military pilot recently killed while deployed overseas.

“We are extremely pleased that the Legion baseball committee in Shelby, N.C., has reached this agreement with ESPN3 which will allow hundreds of thousands of fans maybe even millions of fans - to enjoy watching The American Legion Baseball World Series,” said Jimmie L. Foster, national commander of The American Legion. “The people of Shelby, ‘The Home of The American Legion Baseball World Series,’ have done everything possible to make this a great and memorable event for those who can attend. Now they have made it possible for all of America to watch these fantastic young athletes in action.”

simple two letter words; Go, Go, Go.” Being Bickmeier’s first ever trip to Richmond, he spent Thursday evening on the road getting to know his new home.

“I just drove,” he said. “Got on the freeways and just drove. I ended up at Kings Dominion and then came around I-295 and in on I-64 and just drove around town and just kind of looking things over.”

With a late August race at Michigan still ahead and the ‘One Last Race to Make the Chase’ at RIR in nine weeks, Bickmeier’s slate of tasks has suddenly doubled. Bickmeier flew out of Richmond on Friday evening and will make a trip to Daytona this week for further meetings with ISC officials.

“If something’s broken they’re going to tell me,” he said. “If something’s solid, they’re going to tell me. Then I’ve got to be smart enough not to mess that up.”

Bickmeier, along with his wife and three young children plan to move permanently to Richmond soon after the September race at RIR.

Jordan Walton named to VBL All-Star game Contributed report Randolph-Macon AllAmerican Jordan Walton continues to garner accolades on the diamond as the junior first baseman was recently named to the Valley Baseball League All-Star game and will also represent the VBL in the second annual Mid-Atlantic Classic.

Walton (Lee-Davis), who became the first R-MC baseball player to earn First-Team All-American honors in May, is currently hitting .362 for the Waynesboro Generals. His batting average ranks sixth best in the league, while his 34 hits ranks in the top-10 as well.

Walton is one of just three players from Division III programs to be named to either team and is the only player from the ODAC. Walton will represent the South squad in the annual VBL All-Star game on July 10th at Battlefield High School in Haymarket, VA. Battlefield is the home of the Haymarket Senators of the VBL.

On Monday July 11th, Walton was one of 30 players from the Valley League that took on a group of All-Stars from the Cal Ripken League.

The game was hosted by the VBL at Veteran Memorial Park on the campus of James Madison University.

The VBL is a summer baseball league founded in 1923 that plays in cities and towns in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia.

The Valley League became an NCAA-sanctioned league in 1961. The league adopted the use of wooden bats in 1993.

The VBL is funded in part by a grant from Major League Baseball and is a member of the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball, a national

affiliation of summer leagues.

The league has produced well over 1,000 professional baseball players, including a record 79 former players drafted in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft in 2008.
