ASHLAND — The Hilliard Park Garden Club and Hanover Habitat for Humanity used their unique skills to help four families on Tuesday, June 7. Coordinated by Jean Fender, a member of the Hilliard Park Garden Club, four of Hanover Habitat’s homes in the Bailey Woods neighborhood, received landscaping. Fender conducted an initial site analysis and selected plants appropriate to the property, with the help of the homeowners. The club provided perennials such as daylilies, iris, and hostas, as well as several shrubs such as azaleas, firepower nandinas, and lorepetalum. Glen Allen Nursery donated more than 30 shrubs and Pete Rose Inc. donated 6 cubic yards of mulch. Thanks were extended to Glen Allen Nursery, Pete Rose Inc., Hilliard Park Garden Club, Hanover-Towne Garden Club, one member from Windsordale Garden Club who volunteered, and others from Midlothian Garden Club and Northam Garden Club for

Surprisingly, many homeowners pick the first Realtor® they meet, or a friend of a friend, to sell their property. We always recommend that you interview a few agents. This will help you determine who’s an experienced local professional and who’s just winging it. An exceptional Realtor® will do a lot more than place a sign in your front yard or run a few newspaper ads. They’ll have a well-thought-out marketing plan. Visit my website today to learn more about me and my approach. Then, choose option “C” for “Chuck” and call me today to put my award-winning team to work for you.

| The Local Views From the editor

How do we end the violence in our nation?

While the debate continues to rage about the pros and cons about access to firearms, there is, without a doubt, a troubling and growing problem in our country. I grew up in a home with a man who owned a rifle and pistols and was a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association. I won’t even attempt to dissect the mind of Omar Mateen and his coldhearted shooting of people simply out for a good time. Was he conflicted about his own sexuality? Did he hate gays? Was he just another extremist who wanted to go down in history as one of the most evil men to be born on U.S. soil? The images have filled newspapers, TV news broadcasts and social media, leaving an indelible mark on what is good about who we are as Americans and how we must unite to move forward. Without question, whenever these horrific acts occur, we show the rest of the world how Americans band together, helping in the worst of times. I’m numb. I’m puzzled. I’m sad. What do we do? Where do we go from here? As always, your opinions are most welcome.

Looking over violent acts in Hanover County Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, provided the following statistics for 2014 and 2015 concerning violent crimes. They are listed by the crime, and numbers for ’14 and ’15. Forcible rape, 5, 12; kidnapping/abduction, 3, 7; forcible sodomy, 2, 7; murder and non-negligent manslaughter, 3, 3; sexual assault with an object, 3, 3; statutory rape, 5, 3; negligent manslaughter, 0, 1. While any number other than zero is alarming, the data shows we live in a pretty safe county. While we can’t comprehend the violence shown in other areas across the United States, Hanover County residents have, for the most part, been fortunate. The first time I heard of Ashland, Virginia, was when the D.C. sniper struck. Former sheriff Col. V. Stuart Cook had organized a regional task force to be prepared if such an attack occurred. The one answer to all these questions is to pray for our nation, our state, our county, our homes. Melody Kinser

Winning, losing — and learning By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

While most of us go about our daily routines as one season transitions to another, it’s easy to forget the importance of this time of year to the younger generation. With countless graduations and awards ceremonies, coupled with a slew of state and regional championships, it’s an exciting time for many youths who are just beginning their journey to adulthood. For some, it’s the first time in life that society takes account of winners and losers and places its endorsement on those expected to excel and offers the promise of achievement to all. In a world where grey seems to be the new black and white, it’s a time when our youth gain their first realization of how life works. At first glance, what could be more clearly defined and obvious than the difference between winners and losers?

It’s easy to find victory in the lines of excited graduates as they line up to receive diplomas across our region and our nation. Some will finish high school studies with honors, while others view their achievement as a stepping stone to a future goal. In my mind, they are all winners as they complete 12 years of education and face endless possibilities for a rewarding future. It’s also a time when teams across the state are wrapping up their seasons, and the best are heading to playoffs or state championships. It’s no secret who the winners are when it comes to this group . . . or is it? Here at Richmond Suburban News, we covered a number of teams that made it to the playoffs. Some continued and won state championships; others fell just short. But, by any definition, all fit into that winners’ category. Over the past few weeks, I’ve watched numerous students achieve

unbelievable academic achievements, capturing scholarships and grants for their future educations. I can only describe that group as winners in the true sense of the word. I thought of that concept of winning and losing as my son Jack departed for his fifth year of MDA [Muscular Dystrophy Association] Camp in Wakefield. The kids who attend this camp will never experience the joys of athletic excellence. They won’t run the fastest time or score the winning touchdown through no fault of their own. But, they treat camp like it’s their state championship, and the week is filled with carefree activities usually off limits for disabled kids. Volunteers make the drive to Wakefield to provide wholesome and delicious meals for the campers, and thoughtful and dedicated counselors make this week a special memory for all who attend. see WINNING, pg. 8 

Protect our bikers, runners and walkers Virginia has laws against DUI, DWI, speeding, texting and other distracting activities while behind the wheel of an automobile. As we have seen over the last couple of years, people are still getting killed and injured while biking, running and walking on our county’s barely wide enough roadways built for motor vehicles. As the above mentioned laws were intended to stop accidents and deaths of innocent people and property damage of others, they don’t seem to be very effective in protecting the lives of our road warriors and other athletes. Saving lives and protecting the public being our number one concern, I’m wondering if it has crossed anyone’s mind to make it illegal to bike, run or walk on public highways as a way to save lives. It’s been proven over and over that the law can’t stop all

the drinking and driving, speeding and texting, but at least a biker, runner or walker won’t be in front of them when they lose control if they are not on the road. A 150-pound body is not going to stop a 5,000-pound illegally driven vehicle. Ted Mentz Old Church

The request to rezone the land from agricultural to single-family residential sailed through Thursday’s meeting, with no members of the public showing up to support or oppose the project, which must still receive final approval from the Board of Supervisors. Under the proposed rezoning, homes with one and a half levels must meet a 2,200-square-foot minimum,

and homes with two levels must be at least 2,500 square feet. The homes will range from $450,000 to $750,000, Rogers said, adding that the yard maintenance will be provided. The desired subdivision sits near Totomoi, an 18thcentury plantation that sits on 540 acres and is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register as well as the National Register of Historic Places. The subdivision would feature pedestrian benches, bird houses and a multipurpose field. A 50-foot street buffer is proposed along Rural Point Road.

Mechanicsville Martin’s closing July 23 Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – The Martin’s Food Market located at 7324 Bell Creek Rd. in Mechanicsville will close on Saturday, July 23. The announcement was made Tuesday, June 14. In addition to the local store, two others will be closing next month. They are: 3330 S. Crater Rd. in Petersburg, July 16, and 3000 Stony Point Rd. in Richmond, July 30. The company announced in

over the past few weeks, this group represents the biggest group of winners I’ve encountered. And groups like the Hanover Professional Firefighters who cook for and entertain the campers in

December 2015 that the stores would close this summer. “With the leases for all three locations expiring, we made the business decision last year not to extend the leases for these three stores,” said Tom Lenkevich, Martin’s president. “We appreciate the hard work of our associates in providing quality service to our Petersburg, Mechanicsville and Stony Point customers over the past several years.” A total of 257 associates will be impacted. All associates will be offered the opportunity to transfer to nearby stores.

Wakefield display what winning really is about. If gold medals were awarded for compassion, they would have too many to count. A smart man once offered his perspective on winning and losing.

“With the leases for all three locations expiring, we made the business decision last year not to extend the leases for these three stores.” TOM LENKEVICH Martin’s president

The business decision to close these stores is not related to the pending Ahold Delhaize merger.

“There are no winners and losers,” he said. “There are just winners and learners.” And those lessons come from the most unexpected places and often offer life’s most valuable tips, like a small camp full of disabled campers

Local woman not guilty in stabbing death of companion By Brandon Shulleeta Richmond Times-Dispatch HANOVER — A 64-yearold Mechanicsville woman was found not guilty of first-degree murder Tuesday, after testifying that she stabbed her longtime companion in the chest in self-defense. Taking the stand Tuesday, June 14, during her bench trial in Hanover County Circuit Court, Toni S. Gohagan testified that the stabbing came after years of violence from her companion, Thomas King, 58, with whom she had lived for 28 years. Gohagan said King dragged her to their shared bedroom and began sexually assaulting and strangling her in the latenight hours of April 14, 2015, and that she pulled a knife from under the mattress and stabbed him once. Gohagan claimed King was on top of her on their shared bed and had both hands around her neck while assaulting her. She said he released one of his hands from her throat to close a window by the bed, and said: “Nobody can hear you scream now.” It was about that time, she testified, that she reached for the knife, which she had long kept under her mattress.

“I raised it up, and I meant to stick him in the arm, but I somehow missed,” she said. A wounded King went to the bathroom and collapsed, she said. Police, called by Gohagan, arrived to their home on New Bethesda Road off Mechanicsville Turnpike shortly before midnight. King was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. King suffered a single blow to the chest from a knife with a 3½-inch blade, according to experts, who said an autopsy showed damage to his heart and internal bleeding. Prosecutors called numerous witnesses, who said they heard Gohagan say many times over the years that she would kill King, though some took the statement more seriously than others. The pair argued often, and King would make jokes at Gohagan’s expense and often called her “the devil,” witnesses said. Gohagan said she drank about six beers and King had many more in the hours leading up to the stabbing. Defense attorney G. Russell Stone Jr. shot down the notion that Gohagan planned to kill King. Stone contended that Gohagan was in a tumultuous

and sometimes abusive relationship with King and stabbed him to get him off him of her. He said it was merely “dumb luck” that the single stabbing wound killed him. Just before finding Gohagan not guilty, Judge J. Overton Harris noted that violence, as well as the two talking down to each other, seemed “to be the nature of their relationship.” Overton also noted key evidence in the case that showed Gohagan had bruises on both arms and two areas of her neck, consistent with her account that King grabbed her arms and then strangled her. Gohagan’s son also testified that he had previously witnessed King slap her in the face. In audio recorded inside a Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office vehicle shortly after police responded to the stabbing scene, a handcuffed Gohagan is heard crying for minutes at a time. She also expressed hope that King would survive. “Lord, have mercy. When he wouldn’t stop, I had to do it,” Gohagan told a sheriff ’s deputy. Before about four consecutive minutes of audible weeping, Gohagan exclaimed: “Oh my God, what in the hell have I done?”

‘Who’s your driver?’ has new meaning in Virginia By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor HENRICO – Who’s your driver? When Gov. Terry McAuliffe

asked the question Thursday at Richmond International Raceway, he wasn’t interested in chatting about the pros and cons of various NASCAR stars.

Instead, he wanted Virginians planning a night on the town, a day at the lake or some other type of fun to make sure they know who among them will stay sober and drive

them home alive. “When NASCAR fans meet, as you know, for the first time, they always have the same question: Who’s your driver?” McAuliffe said when announcing the program in an event in RIR’s Victory Lane. “It’s also a great question to ask yourself and ask your friends when you’re going out at night. If you’re going to go out and you intend to have a few beers or other alcoholic beverages, you need to be prepared to answer the question.” The program, created by a partnership among Richmond International Raceway, DRIVE SMART Virginia and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles Highway Safety Office, also promotes seat belt use. “It covers two of the areas

With an infectious funky soul score and lyrics by Charlie Smalls, ‘The Wiz’ brought renewed relevance to a timeless classic,” She said the 1975 Broadway production was “like nothing Broadway had ever seen, and ultimately won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Score.” The recent TV version see WIZ, pg. 17

have, so we’re thrilled to see efforts like this.” Baker noted that alcohol is a factor in about 11,000, or 30 percent, of traffic fatalities each year – a figure that has remained more or less constant the past decade. She also noted that the toll from alcohol-related crashes is much greater still. “Unfortunately, the carnage doesn’t stop with just fatalities,” Baker said. “About 290,000 people are injured each year in alcohol-related [crashes]. That could fill this stadium five times over. And those are people who usually suffer very devastating injuries, sometimes lasting throughout their whole lives.” The program was a natural fit for a partnership with Richmond International Raceway, as a substantial portion of NASCAR’s fans are drawn from the same demographic that is the primary target of the campaign: men aged 18 to 44. According to NASCAR, its fans overall are 62 percent male. Two out of five are in the 18 to 44 age range. George Bishop, deputy commissioner of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, said the target audience of the “Who’s Your Driver?” cam-

downed trees, downed wires, high water, etc.), 10 motor vehicle crashes. 18 alarms. 10 weather-related assists. Battalion Chief Jason Williams of Hanover FireEMS said, “We were very busy through the night with trees down, power lines down, six structures damaged with trees into homes and one injury

paign are males 21 to 35. He said nearly 44 percent of all alcohol-related crashes in Virginia in 2015 involved people in that age group, and that 76 percent of all alcoholrelated traffic fatalities in the state in 2015 were male. But drinking and driving is not the only problem with that age group. “In addition to driving after having a few drinks, many of those men are not buckling up,” Bishop said. “Last year, 310 people were killed and nearly 3,800 injured in a crash simply because they were not wearing a seat belt. More than 62 percent of those were men and 55 percent of those were in the targeted age range of 18 to 35.” Bishop said the message is simple. “Wearing a seat belt saves lives,” Bishop said. “Riding home with a safe and sober driver saves lives. And the statistics make it clear that the male audience, ages 21 to 35, need to hear this message in a

persuasive manner.” Both McAuliffe and Baker noted that scare tactics don’t work very well in encouraging save behavior. “Who’s Your Driver?” tries a different approach. “[We’re] trying to make people think that there are going to be consequences if they drink and drive or don’t wear their seat belts,” Baker said. The announcement of the campaign seems especially timely for Hanover County, given the recent accident in which two were killed and four injured in an alcohol-related accident on Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville. “Awareness and advertising and these types of programs are extremely critical,” said Lt. Col. R. Allen Davidson, chief of staff of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. “That is a big part of our community plan, to not just be the law enforcement folks, but more the community partner. … Zero deaths is the only acceptable answer.”

from a tree into a home.” He also said there were “at least two structure fires as a result of the storm.” Williams issued safety reminders: “We’d like to remind people to stay away from a downed power line and always assume they are live. Always operate generator outside with plenty of ventilation.” Godfrey said late last

week that the Sheriff ’s Office had worked closely with Hanover Fire-EMS, VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation), Dominion Virginia Power, Rappahannock Electric, and other utility providers “to ensure services are restored in our community as quickly and safely as possible,” Deputies were working intersections where lighting

systems were impacted by power outages. Those areas include: U.S. 360, Cold Harbor Road, Creighton Road, West Patrick Henry Road and Blanton Road. On Friday, many roads remained impassable and posed a safety risk due to power/utility lines. see STORM, pg. 14

Hanover High School senior Georgia Geen and Stephanie Mayle are members of Hanover Students for Freedom of Information and Learning, a student group that has been active in the Hanover County School Board’s efforts to revise its policy on controversial subject matter displayed in Hanover schools. The board’s revised policy did not meet all of the demands outlined by HSFOIL.

ed changing the word dispassionate to unbiased. The committee also suggested a clarification on the use of full-length films in the classroom. The new wording requires a rating on films shown in their entirety in the classroom. Regarding the rating system currently in effect that allows only PG (parental guidance) rated films in high school classrooms, no changes were offered. No changes were recommended for the policy involving instructional materials and learning resources. The panel did recommend including a statement in the current handbook that sufficiently advises students and parents that college level material is covered in advanced

icy at previous board meetings citing the need for controversial material in advanced high school courses. Student activist Georgia Geen echoed those same concerns as she addressed the board during a public comment period last week. “There are several elements of our request for which I will continue to lobby,” Geen said. “An element should be added to the policy that prevents a teacher from being punished for violation of this policy without proof of willful or malicious intent.” Members from Hanover’s student-based Hanover Students for Freedom of Information and Learning have monitored board meetings for the past 18 months and have maintained a vigilant

ASHLAND — Following an exhaustive review procedure, the Hanover County School Board approved minor changes to its current policy regarding controversial subject matter taught in county classrooms at its regular June 14 meeting. The new language clarifies current policy that requires teachers to obtain prior approval when showing controversial films or presentations and provide alternative lesson plans for students who are uncomfortable with the subject matter planned. The approved changes were introduced by an advisory committee headed by Julie Tate, head Media Services teacher, and Debbie Arco, director of Curriculum and Instruction. Originally formed in 2014, the committee initiated changes to the policy, but reconvened to consider additional requests submitted by students earlier this year. The controversial material issue gained attention when some parents complained regarding the showing of Thomas Friedman’s “Exploring the Roots of 9-11” at Hanover High School in 2014, a film that explores alternative views of the attack on America. In a companion motion, the board rejected a request from students that contained suggestions for more sweeping changes, especially where teacher retribution is involved. Students presented board members with a list of suggested changes earlier this year. The approved changes approved were minor.

Regarding the policy regarding teaching controversial subject matter, the committee suggest-

Leash laws remains in effect until June 30 (Editor’s note: The leash law is not new; it happens every year at this time. This article was submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer, as a reminder.) Every year, beginning April 1 through June 30, it is unlawful for dogs anywhere in Hanover County to be running off their property without being leashed. The county’s “leash law” applies throughout the year in the suburban area. Between April 1 and June 30, it is extended to the rural areas as well because the births of vulnerable livestock, such as baby lambs and calves, tend to take place during this period. Wildlife activity and rabies cases also generally increase in the April 1-June 30 time frame. Any dogs caught running off their owner’s property will be impounded. Impoundment fees are $25 for the first violation and an

additional $10 for each subsequent violation within a 12-month period, including a $5 per day boarding fee. Violations also can result in uniform summons or a written warning being issued. Each instance of a dog belonging to a particular owner running at-large is a separate violation, and an additional penalty will apply regardless of whether or not the same dog is involved. If you see a dog running at large, call Hanover County Emergency Communications at 804-365-6140. Any dangerous animal can be reported by dialing 911 for immediate assistance, 24/7. For more information about Hanover County’s running atlarge laws, call Animal Control at 804-365-6485. Dogs cannot run off of their owner’s property at any time of year without a current county license tag affixed to their collar.

Equestrian places 7th in Nationals Rising junior at Hanover High School has been rising since she was 5 years old Staff Report news@mechlocal.com

rising junior at Hanover High School recently placed seventh in the Nationals of the Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA). Holly Longest, in her first year, qualified for Regionals and Zones to advance to the Nationals, which were held in late April in Lexington, Kentucky. Out of two rounds of competition and more than 1,200 competing in her class throughout the year, she rose to the challenge in placing seventh. Holly is a member of Team Silver Lining and her head coach is John West of Hanover. He has a riding academy at Coventry Farm in Ashland. Wendy Keller Longest, Holly’s mother, said she “has been riding since she was 5 and is very committed and passionate about her sport. Her goals are to ride on a competition team in college and continue riding, training and showing.” For 11 years, Wendy and

her husband Doug have supported their daughter with her dream. Holly followed in her mother’s footsteps as a equestrian. Wendy showed in Hunter/Dressage. According to the website, http://www.rideiea.org/, the Interscholastic Equestrian Association was established in the spring of 2002 and held its first annual national finals event the following year in Willoughby, Ohio. A nonprofit organization, the IEA – for student equestrians in grades 6 through 12 - has grown geometrically and geographically each year. Beginning with just 200 participants, the IEA now has over 12,500 members in 42 states across North America. The IEA supports two disciplines: Hunt Seat and Western. There is no need for any rider to own a horse because competition horses are provided at each venue to the contestant. IEA’s mission is to introduce students in private and public middle and secondary schools to equestrian sports and to promote and improve

the quality of equestrian competition and instruction. Its purpose is to set minimum standards for competition, provide information

concerning the creation and development of school associated equestrian sport programs, promote the common interests of safe riding

instruction and competition and education on matters related to equestrian sport at the middle and secondary school levels (primarily ages 11 through 19). To fulfill its purpose, the IEA offers guidance regarding the creation and development of school and/or barn associated equestrian programs. IEA coaches aim to develop understanding and appreciation of equestrian sports through organized student competitions and additional

equine educational opportunities. Students have the opportunity to earn scholarships toward their college education through awards in competition and through sportsmanship activities. In 2011, the IEA established the Benevolent Fund to assist riders and coaches in need through programs such as the IEA Financial Assistance Program and the IEA Coaches Assistance Grant.

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO

HANOVER — The Independence Day holiday is almost upon us, and with it comes celebrations, festive times and fireworks. Hanover County Fire-EMS wants to be sure that citizens are aware of the laws regulating fireworks and their proper use. In Virginia, it is illegal to sell, buy, use, ignite, or explode firecrackers, skyrockets, or similar things that contain any explosives or inflammable compound or substances that explode, rise into the air or travel laterally, or fire projectiles into the air. The only fireworks legally allowed to be sold or used in Virginia are sparklers, fountains, Pharaoh’s serpents, caps for pistols and pinwheels (commonly known as whirligigs or spinning jennies). Observe these safety precautions when

using fireworks of any kind: m Always read and follow label directions. m Have an adult supervise all fireworks activities. m Buy from a reliable fireworks dealer. m Ignite outdoors. m Have water handy. m Never experiment or attempt to make your own fireworks. m Light one at a time. m Never reignite malfunctioning fireworks. m Never give fireworks to small children. m Store in a cool, dry place. m Dispose of properly. m Never throw fireworks. m Never carry fireworks in your pocket.

m Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers. “All fireworks are extremely dangerous, especially in the hands of children,” said Jason Williams, battalion chief and public information officer for Hanover Fire/EMS. “Instead of handling these fireworks yourselves, it is much safer to visit the many fireworks displays available throughout Hanover County and the region. Let the professionals handle it and keep your family safe.” Remember, fireworks are only allowed on private property if the permission of the owner has been obtained. If you have questions concerning fireworks, call the Fire Marshal’s Office at 804-365-6195. Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

County Cannery to open for season July 1 ASHLAND — July signifies the opening of canning season. Canning, the old practice of preserving fruits and vegetables has traditionally been done in the home. Hanover County has a Cannery that also operates as a commercial kitchen where residents, non-residents and commercial customers may process their produce on commercial-grade equipment. The Hanover County Cannery, located at 12491

Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, opens on Friday, July 1. It will be open Mondays (including July 4), Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays in July and August. The Cannery will be open on Saturdays in September and October. On Mondays during these months, processing can take place between 4 and 7 p.m. (the cannery closes at midnight on Mondays). On the other days of the week, processing can take place between 8:30 and 10

a.m., with the Cannery closing at 3 p.m. The canning process must begin during these designated times in order to have the process completed by the Cannery closing time. Processes that take longer than the average of five hours must be approved in advance by the Cannery Supervisor. To check on the availability before you travel, call the Cannery Supervisor. The Cannery supervisor’s number is 804-365-6484.

For Hanover County residents, the cost is $1.17 a can or .30 cents a jar. For those who do not live in Hanover County, the charge is $1.32 per can and .40 cents per jar. You must bring your own jars. Additional charges apply for use of the kettle, blancher or corn machine. Commercial customers are encouraged to set up an appointment with the Cannery supervisor.

sation for teachers who take sabbaticals for academic and other reasons. In the past, teachers approved for that type of leave were issued one-half of their annual salary when they left for study with the remaining half distributed when they return.

The new policy will not affect a teacher’s right to apply for sabbaticals, but will no longer compensate them for the time off. The board will consider the matter at its July 12 meeting. School board meetings begin at 7 p.m. at the Central Office at 200 Berkley St. in Ashland.

The Hanover Vipers traveled to Mathis Fields in Hopewell and after three hard-fought victories claimed the Hardball Challenge Tournament (10U) for their second consecutive travel baseball tournament victory. The Vipers were once again led by strong pitching, gritty defense and timely hitting. They ran the bases very aggressively and constantly had runners in scoring position throughout the entire tournament. The Vipers defeated teams from Glen Allen (6-5) and South Boston (4-2) to reach the tournament final where they defeated The Hit Doctors of Midlothian by a final score of 8-6. The Vipers were anchored by dominant pitching all day long as Seth Jones, left below, Ty Herndon and Hudson Williams each came up with victories in their respective starts. Shayne Lawlor, right below, led the way offensively for the Vipers with strong hitting all day, including a critical lead-off triple in the top of the sixth inning of Game 2, which led to two Viper runs and broke a previous 2-2 tie. Defensively, Ryan Crist was stellar at third base while catcher Brent Bainbridge was the anchor of an overall stingy Viper defense. Herndon came up with a spectacular diving catch in center field to end the championship game and squelch a late short-lived Hit Doctor rally sending the Viper players, coaches and fans into jubilation. Kyle Bowles is the manager of the Hanover Vipers.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Lando, 441504, is a (estimated) 1½-year-old male canine/Mastiff mix. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Lando came to the shelter as a stray. He was very why when he first arrived, but has come around slightly. Lando would love a new home that can give him lots of love and affection. He does well with other dogs and also walks well on the leash. With some work, Lando will be a great dog. Ms. Emma, 433443, is a domestic short-haired feline. She is one year and eight months old. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative.

Ms. Emma uses the litter box well and seems to be friendly around other cats. She has a small growth on her right eye that is not harmful but might have to be surgically removed. She will make a great house cat. For more information on this great pet, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

HAMMERS Continued from pg. 36

Post 175 quickly shook the Powhatan threat off and put runs on the board in the bottom of the inning. Mechanicsville started with Canon Lambert doubling off Powhatan starter Hunter Langston and then Brandon

Crosby reached on a misplayed grounder. Strong made his offensive presence known by drilling a Langston offering to center field. It hopped over the wall for a ground-rule double that scored Lambert and Crosby – who had stolen a base during Strong’s at-bat. After Post 201 left a runner on base in the top of the second

inning, Post 175 exploded in the bottom of the second. Tyler Blaum and Chip Granderson opened with backto-back singles. Justin Bishop loaded the bases after reaching on a sacrifice bunt and error with no outs. Aaron Saunders then came to the plate and singled in two runs to make it 4-0. Post 201 then brought in relief pitcher Brian Fitch, who

– after allowing Saunders to reach second on a wild pitch – issued a walk to Lambert. Bishop scores on a wild pitch. Crosby singles in Saunders and steals second. After Lambert is picked off at third, Strong hits a deep fly to right field. He is out, but Crosby advances to third on the play. Austin Morris gets hit by a pitch. He steals second, but

Chip joins Cougars

Powhatan catcher Justin Bales throws the ball into the outfield, allowing Crosby to score on the error to make it 7-0. Powhatan tried to get on the scoreboard in the top of the third inning. Three straight singles by Jacob Talley, Logan Allen and Korey Singh loaded the bases with no outs, but the Post 175 defense stood tall.

Strong struck out two and got a flyout to right field to get out of the inning with no runs scored. Granderson would score with two outs in the bottom of the third inning. He reached on a walk, stole second scored on a Bishop single to make it 8-0.

GRAL swim season gets oﬀ to stormy start By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor GLEN ALLEN – The Greater Richmond Aquatic League summer swim season began last week with school calendars and weather concerns scrambling a hectic meet schedule. Some teams began swimming as early as the previous Saturday, while others who could not get their Thursday night meets completed as

scheduled because of the severe weather than moved into the area had to finish with selftimed events over the weekend. Two local teams, Ashland and Old Church, were among a handful who gambled on the weather by sticking to the usual Wednesday-night meet schedule. Hanover Country Club and Pebble Creek, who tried to avoid keeping kids up on what was still a school night, found the weather catching up to them on Thursday. “I am glad that we got through [the first week] and everyone was safe, especially with the storms on Thursday,” said Pebble Creek head coach Morgan Steiner. “I think the first meet is always a big learning experience. I’m glad that that’s behind us, and I think it will help us go in to the rest of the meets this season.” As far as overall results go,

numbers matter, said Ashland head coach Kevin Trent. Teams with more swimmers – thus more opportunities to score, generally do better in terms of team scores than those with fewer swimmers. Trent’s Barracudas, with fewer than 100

swimmers, had a harder time against host Wyndham, which had more than 120, particularly in the younger age groups. An increase in swimmer numbers can bring bigger challenges – but fun ones. “I’m really excited,” said Old Church head coach Courtney Hurtubise. “This is our biggest team we’ve ever had as far as I know. When I started six years ago, we had 55 kids. We have 97 this year. And we moved up a division, which is a tougher division, but a lot better com-

petition.” Trent said the goal is to get as many kids to score as possible. The Barracudas had their share. Five Barracudas – Christine Datovech, Paul Datovech, Steven Dinger, Kayla Maxey and Samantha Seinfeld – were triple winners in Ashland’s meet with Wyndham. Trent said 10-year-old Christine Datovech, already a record holder in the 7-8 girls 25-meter freestyle, looks to be a breakout swimmer for the team this year. She won the 9-

going 2 of 3 from the plate with a double and two runs scored. Crosby singled and scored three runs. Morris, Saunders and Strong each had a hit and two RBI for Mechanicsville. The win against Post 201 was one of a pair of wins that put Mechanicsville on track after season-opening loss to South Richmond Post 137 earlier in the week. Post 175 defeated Lakeside Post 125 10-0 Wednesday. “It was the first time out on Tuesday night and that was the first time the group had played together,” White said. “We made a bunch of errors, but we’re doing OK now.”

Continued from pg. 37

The hits kept coming for Post 175 in the bottom of the fourth. Lambert led off with a double. Cosby walked, and Hayden Moore moved the pair over with a sacrifice bunt. Austin Morris brought them home with a single for the final 10-0. Mechanicsville reliever Jacob Weis struck out three straight Post 201 batters before lightning from approaching storms forced umpires to end the game. Lambert led Post 175 by

10 girls 100 freestyle, the 9-10 girls 50 butterfly, and the 9-10 girls 50 freestyle at Wyndham Wednesday. Old Church had five quad winners in its meet with Raintree – Alex Brehm, Brooke Foster, Niki Kreynus, Avery Martin and Katelyn Vieni – and 10 triple winners: Kyle Anderson, Henry Atkinson, Madeline Atkinson, Max Bidou, Morgan Bowman, Caroline Fisher, Bryden Hurtubise, Liz Laprade, Omeed Quarterman and Kendall Underdown. Hanover Country Club had 12 triple winners and Pebble Creek eight. The Sharks’ triple winners were Jacob Cox, Farray Hollender, K.K. Kashinejad, Rawlings Leachman, Melanie McAdoo, Sydney McAdoo, Will McAdoo, Maddie Medei, Dalton Nash, Shelby Nash, Logan Nuckols, Dylan Schloss and Lily Voekler. Pebble Creek’s triple winners were Tyler Carneal, Christopher Gilley, Ryan Griffiths, Jayden Hill, Sam Patterson, Carsyn Poppa, Tessa Santelli and Chloe Ulm.

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, take some time out of your schedule for a fun day trip or another spontaneous activity that enables you to escape the daily grind and unwind for a little while.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, your mind is set on a new opportunity, but you do not yet have the finances to make it happen. See if you can find an investor or another way to fund the project.

A letter to the graduate:

337767-01

(Editor’s note: A parent of a member of the Class of 2016 in Hanover County Public Schools wrote the following poem, but asked that it be published anonymous. Since we consider the words worth sharing, we agreed not to include a name.)

We were there for your very first steps into this world. We were there for your very first words that were said aloud. We were there for your first day of school.

And we were there for your last day of school. It is true that every parent is proud of their child. Of every accomplishment both little and big. Remember you are not leaving friends behind.

You are going forward to make new ones. And now we have to let you go into this world alone. And accomplish so many more things on your own. But know that we are so

proud of everything you have done. And will be so proud of everything that you will do. So, graduate, go forward with your head held high. And go make your place in this world!

Congratulations Class of 2016! SHANNON PROSSER-WALL REALTOR®
