OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

Do you feel secure returning to life before COVID? By Melody Kinser Managing Editor ust as I started to write this last Tuesday, an alert came up on my Apple Watch from the Richmond Times-Dispatch about COVID-19 possibly having already arrived in the U.S. by Christmas 2019. No one has to twist my arm to convince me. I know some people who were so sick with what were extreme flu-like symptoms at that time, and the illness lasted about a month. I’m one of those who usually waits to see if a flu bug is going to “run its course” in a few days before seeking medical treatment. And my mother and I get our flu vaccine every

September at a local drug store. In catching up with friends during that holiday time period, I learned at least one had been sick with a dreadful flu in November 2019. I’ve been around long enough to remember the swine flu, Avian flu, and a few others whose names evade me. The point is, none of them were particularly alarming. And then COVID arrived. I don’t have a fear of needles, so any time a vaccine was being offered to prevent whatever disease at the time I accepted. As I said a few months ago, I was so relieved to receive both doses of the Moderna vaccine. If a booster is mandated, count me in.

As a Hanover County resident, I still can’t sing the praises enough for the Chickahominy Health District and the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. The vaccine clinics were run so smoothly by staff and volunteers. Now we’re at the point of returning to normal. But, what is normal today? Have you ventured out to businesses that you had been dealing with through delivery? What about entertainment? Are you ready to see a movie in a theater or a concert at a large venue? I did take Mom to a nice restaurant on Mother’s Day. We couldn’t remember the last time we had been inside one. I had managed pretty well throughout

2020, but I have now reached that “I’ve got to get out of here” phase of experiencing a pandemic. I keep thinking “I need to see the ocean.” Hopefully, that will become a reality before too long. How about you? Are you ready to return to the lives we were living pre-COVID? Do you have any concerns about coming into contact with someone who refused to get the vaccine? I’m about half and half in terms of how often I wear a mask. It certainly depends on the number of people I may encounter. My hope is that you feel secure in how the pandemic was handled, and that we can return to a sense of normalcy. Fingers crossed.

‘Fatal Vision’ remains a haunting story after almost 51 years By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist When I arrived at Southwood College in the fall of 1970, one of my first meaningful decisions, in other words, was something that did not involve scheduling of classes or purchasing books, involved alcohol. Although North Carolina allowed the purchase of beer and wine at age 18, the matter was left for localities to decide, and the institution I had selected was situated in the middle of

a dry as a bone county. For those of us born south of the Mason-Dixon Line, Sampson County was culture shock for sure, but all of the seemingly strange customs and quirks seemed somewhat familiar to those of us raised in the South. But, the numerous and large road signs announcing that you had entered Klan Country must have been disturbing to students who somehow found themselves in Salemburg lacking a proper knowledge of how things

worked in that part of the Carolinas. The decision on which direction we would take to obtain alcohol involved two distinct choices, both of equal distance and quality of road. The road to the northern county line was a curvy two-lane highway that tested the most sober of drivers and proved too ambitious for many students following a Wednesday night blowout at the Village Inn. Or, you could drive the same distance west to a confluence of human-

ity called Fayetteville, a venue that offered more than just watered down beer and cheap wine. I can only compare my first trip to downtown Fayetteville during that period to a feeling I had when I first disembarked a plane in a foreign county. Everything was new and vibrant, a neon haze of crowded sidewalks of slimy balkers enticing soldiers to enter one of the many establishments near Hay Street. Peaceniks, hippies, refugees

from Vietnam, students and soldiers walked the same infested streets searching for the same excitement or some other validation. My arrival in the Fayetteville area coincided with a well-publicized inquiry that involved the murder of a young mother and her two girls at Fort Bragg, one of the busiest military bases in the United States made even more frantic by a full-scale war raging in Southeast Asia. The news of Captain Jeffrey MacDonald and the accusations surrounding him could have easily been lost in the shuffle, but, for college students with an ample amount of spare time, the case seemed intriguing; and many of our trips to the surreal atmosphere of a city like no other ended with a visit to the scene of the crime. Castle Drive seemed like all of the residential streets in Fort Bragg, the only distinctive feature being yellow crime tape that surrounded the small officers’ quarters. There was little question in our see FATAL, pg. 8

He recalled a woman with a floppy hat, long blond hair and boots being one of the attackers. Back in the dorm, we’d laugh about the woman in the floppy hat, since almost every female in Fayetteville wore one, and MacDonald’s description of the three men who accompanied her fit the majority of the male population. Most of us were surprised when the Army found no evidence and dismissed the charges later that fall. For most of us, that ended the case and I’m sure none of us thought we’d still be talking about it five decades later, or that the crime tape surrounding the scene of the crime remained in place until the unit was demolished decades later.

In the more than four decades since the murders, MacDonald has exhausted his appeals and has made numerous unsuccessful attempts to reopen the case, still clinging to his story of a hippie attack and the woman in the floppy hat. My family recently watched a series on the MacDonald case that concluded he was possibly wrongly convicted and the murderers of two small innocent girls and their mother remain free, walking the streets of who knows what city. Most of the members of my family also were convinced by the documentary, but it did little to alter my long-held beliefs regarding MacDonald’s guilt. I never doubted it for a minute

Foreman’s solo almost wins title for Atlee By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – If Atlee junior Jada Foreman could have run the 4x400-meter relay all by herself Friday, she might have won the Virginia High School League Class 5 state outdoor track and field championship . . . all by herself. As it was, Midlothian’s girls needed to finish at least sixth in the 4x400, the final event of the day, to edge Foreman’s 43 points. The Trojans finished sixth, edging Foreman by a point to win the state team title in the 2021 championships held at Todd Stadium in Newport News. Foreman scored in all six events she competed in, winning the girls triple jump, finishing second in the high jump, long jump and 200 dash, fourth in the 100 hurdles and fifth in the 300 hurdles. She did all that in one day – in a compressed schedule that, at the longest, allowed her no more than an hour of rest and leaving her little time to appreciate her achievement. “Everything happened really fast,” Foreman said Sunday. “So it really hasn’t sunk in, the fact that like that it all happened.” Not many did at the time. Because of processing issues, few knew how the team scoring stacked up. Foreman’s coach, Neil Mathews, and his staff resorted to the old-fashioned way of figuring it out – adding the results up by hand. The old-fashioned math had him prepared for the 4x400, the final

event of the day, and he knew what Midlothian’s girls needed to do to beat Foreman. Mathews surprised Trojan head coach Stan Morgan when he walked up to congratulate the Trojans on their state title. “They were, like, ‘Why is he coming around congratulating us? We had a good race, but it wasn’t like we won,’ ” Mathews said. Soon the event announcer confirmed the news: Midlothian’s girls in first place with 44 points. Jada Foreman – er, Atlee – in second with 43. Foreman wasn’t the first to nearly pull off a state team championship all by herself, but it hasn’t happened often and hasn’t happened in such a timecompressed fashion. “I would say it’s one of the historically best performances I’ve ever seen,” said Nolan Jez, senior editor of Virginia Milesplit. He and a few “old-timers” including Mathews and former national coach of the year Eddie Williams of Bethel and Grafton’s Jim McGrath talked afterwards trying to figure out who had pulled off a similar feat as Foreman. The list is short. One was another athlete coached by Mathews, Rachel Butler at what was then Lee-Davis High School in 2007. Grant Holloway, a world champion hurdler from Grassfield, is another. One has to go further back in time to fill out the list: Felicia Majors Mary Ann Magnant for The Local of South County and Doug Atlee’s Jada Foreman won the girls triple jump in the Virginia High School League Class 5 Championships at Todd Stadium in

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor LYNCHBURG – Hanover’s Alli Crytser headlined the local performances at the Virginia High School League Class 4 state outdoor track and field championships Saturday at Liberty University, finishing first and second, respectively, in the 3,200-meter and 1,600meter runs. Crytser’s performance, along with a trio of all-state efforts by Khia Holloway and another pair by Rachael Turner, lifted the Hawk girls to a close fifth-place finish out of the nearly 40 teams competing. Patrick Henry’s boys, with a trio of strong relay performances, including a pair of secondplace finishes in the 4x100 and 4x800, led local teams with a fourth-place finish. The Hawk girls were within two points of third place. Loudoun Valley won with 71 points, followed by Jefferson Forest (55), Fauquier (42), and King’s Fork (41). Hanover scored 40. Patrick Henry finished in 24th place with 5.5 points. “It went very well for the most part,” said Hanover head coach Rich Firth. “It’s been a crazy year. We’ve done three seasons since January 1, with the seasons overlapping by weeks. So I think everybody is a bit mentally fried at this point, but the kids did really, really well.” Holloway finished third, fifth and eighth, respectively, in the 100, 200 and 400. Turner finished fourth and sixth, respectively, in the shot put and discus. Ethan Coleman led the Hawk boys with a second-place finish in the 1,600 and a third in the 800. The Patrick Henry boys

Burnap, Mines, Michael Leff and Davis combined for a seventh in the 4x400. “Overall, I’m real proud of the kids,” said Patrick Henry head coach Scott Brown. “I know they wanted a little bit more out of the day. . . . Overall, everybody gave everything they had, and that’s all I can ask for.” Mechanicsville was led by its boys 4x800 relay team of Austin Runne, Carter Smith, Jackson

McMackin and Grayson Clark, which finished fifth. Clark also finished seventh in the 3,200. “The kids performed pretty well,” said Mustang head coach Andy Ordaz. “A couple of things didn’t go our way. . . . I can’t ask for much more out of these guys, though. I’m proud of every one of our athletes.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Dickinson of Newport News High School. Foreman wasn’t looking to make history. She had made a list of objectives she wanted to achieve. She wanted to beat herself in the events she had signed up for. Personal history was the only thing on her mind at the time – a less-than-ideal performance at states in her freshman year and no outdoor track to compete in during her sophomore year last year. “I just I feel like I was really determined to, like, get what I needed to get done there,” Foreman said. “Freshman year, I didn’t have the best outdoor states.

Orange puts up a fight but Hawks take title By Rob Witham for The Local MECHANICSVILLE – It wasn’t a doubleheader, but it sure felt like one. After six innings dominated by strikeouts and small ball, the bats came alive for both the Orange Hornets and Hanover Hawks in the Region 4B softball championship Wednesday evening. A seemingly solid 2-0 lead disappeared in the top of the seventh when the Hornets, aided by a Hanover error, scored two runs to tie the title game. But the Hawks answered in kind as Jenna Currie doubled, then Alyssa Broaddus singled to bring Currie home with the winning run to capture the region crown by a 3-2 score. “At the beginning of the game, they weren’t going after her pitches,” Currie, the Hawks’ catcher said of the Hornets’ approach to sophomore pitcher Julia Cuozzo, who registered 10 strikeouts. The approach changed when the heart of the Hornets order came to bat in the top of the seventh in do or die mode. “They tried to hop on other pitches, and it helped them out a little bit,” Currie said. “I told (Cuozzo) to take a deep breath. She was throwing fine. Don’t overthrow. Throw like you can, and you’ll be fine.” It was easily the biggest pressure situation this year for Cuozzo, who has been dominant in her first season of varsity high school softball. After Reese Rogers reached on the error to begin the Orange seventh, Haley Martin reached on a bunt down the first base line. Both runners advanced on a passed ball, and, suddenly, the Hornets had the tying run in scoring position. Jachelle Mosley, who had

the only hit off Cuozzo to that point, a single in the second inning, singled again. Reagan Hill’s quick return of the ball to the infield prevented Martin

The Mechanicsville Local

June 23, 2021

from scoring from second. But Martin would eventually score on Maci Fayard’s ground out to third base. Ayla Fincham, pinch running for

Mosley, reached third, representing the go ahead run. Cuozzo induced a ground ball to shortstop Julia Mardigian by Orange pitcher Hannah

Hearl, Mardigian deftly making sure Fincham wouldn’t take off for home plate before firing to Bella Pastore at first base for the second out. A Megan Fincham grounder to Pastore stranded Fincham, keeping the game tied at two apiece. Hanover (14-0) scored its first run in the second inning thanks to a double by Hill, who later stole third, and a sacrifice fly caught down the right field line in foul territory from Currie. They added the second

run in the fifth on a double by Beanie Acors, who also stole third, then scored on a sacrifice bunt from Broaddus. Broaddus reached third, but was picked off to end the inning. She would get her chance at redemption in the seventh after Currie led off with her double. “I look at my mentality and think, all I have to do is get a base hit. That’s all I need,” Broaddus said when asked about the clinching at-bat. “I was just thinking, drive it back side, because I wanted to advance that runner.” Broaddus’ wish came true as the second pitch from Hearl was in perfect position for her to punch the ball into right field, just past the diving glove of second baseman Kennon Burnett. Brianna Michaels, courtesy running for Currie, flew around third and scored standing up to spark a quirky combination of relief and celebration by the Hawks. When Broaddus reached first base, she couldn’t contain herself. She quickly turned to see if Michaels had reached home. “I had to (look). I was like, (assistant coach) John (Mardigian), I’m not going, I’m not going,” Broaddus said with a smile. Hanover hasn’t been this close to a state championship since capturing their lone title in 2006. With a victory at Region 4A champion Grafton Tuesday (after this edition went to press), the Hawks would have the honor of hosting the Class 4 title game Saturday. “I think we have a really special team and I think we could win states. For me, that’s just excitement,” Currie said, echoing the sentiment of the entire team. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Last-second score ends Hawk soccer season By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Three years ago, Hanover’s girls soccer team won a playoff on a goal in the last few seconds of regulation. This year, the Hawks learned what it felt like to lose a playoff – the Region 4B final – on a goal scored in the last few seconds of regulation. Monacan’s Maci Hulver broke through the Hawk defense for a 1-on-1 and put a ball into the left side of the Hanover net in the final seconds of regulation to break a 1-all tie and end what had been a perfect Hawk season one game short of the Virginia High School League Class 4 state tournament. “I’ve been on both ends of this game,” said Hanover head coach Manny Tavares. “We won this in 2018 with a couple of seconds to go. I guess it was my turn to feel what it’s like to lose with a couple seconds to go.” Monacan striker Olivia Woodson slipped past the Hawk defense in the fourth minute for the game’s first goal. Hanover was rattled for a bit, but recovered and equalized on a penalty kick by Ava Olson in the 20th minute. lots of mayhem in front of the onds on the clock. a great season,” Tavares said.

Atlee girls victim in Freeman’s region lacrosse sweep By Rob Witham for The Times-Dispatch RICHMOND – Score on the ends, win it in the middle. That was the mantra of both the Douglas Freeman boys and girls lacrosse teams Thursday night as they owned faceoffs, built big leads and each captured Class 5, Region B cham-

pionships at Mills Godwin High School. The boys topped Midlothian 18-4, while the girls defeated Atlee 17-13. After stunning top seed and defending region champion Atlee 13-12 in overtime in the semifinals on June 14, Midlothian’s boys entered with momentum, but Douglas Freeman (10-1) quickly

quashed it, controlling faceoffs with ease, slicing through the Trojan defense at will to score six goals in the first 7:04 of the match. Two early goals were from junior attacker Dell Vidunas, who has seen huge improvements in his team’s play since its only loss, on opening night to Deep Run.

“We made a bunch of changes, and I think everyone bought in,” Vidunas said. “We knew we had the pieces to be really good. We’ve gotten hot, and we’re peaking at the right time.” Midlothian (7-5) struggled early defensively and never recovered. Maxx Lawton had two goals for the Trojans, while

Wesley Hazzard and Otto Waldbauer added one apiece. Gavin Stone led the Mavericks with five goals, while Vidunas tallied four and his best friend, Matt McCabe, scored three times and added seven assists. “We know each other so well,” Vidunas said of McCabe, voicing his confidence for his

team next week. “I think we have the best horses in the area, no question.” Next is a Class 5 state semifinal home date against Region 5C runner-up Freedom. Coach John Neal’s attention turns to them, happy to not have to travel on Tuesday. “We’ve been focused on get-

and just do better than I did.” Mathews said she had a different face on Saturday morning at states. “She was going to have to be really on her game to compete with the level of competition that was there,” How does one go to a one day meet and how does one put it together to score in six different events? It obviously takes a lot of guts to even want to try it. She has to be extremely tough. She has to be physically tough and talented. “But she also has to be very mentally tough because, you know, any one thing goes wrong or off or she feel the fatigue setting in she could very easily shut down. Like you’re in six events, why not take one off, you know. For her, I think it takes a lot of guts, a lot of cour-

age, a lot of talent.” She refused to give in to the temptation to take an event off. “My body, it was definitely in some pain,” Foreman said. “I couldn’t tell if I needed to warm up or if my legs were like super tired. They were just like almost numb feeling because I’d just done so much and it was hot.” To make her achievement Saturday all the more impressive, Foreman had to do the same thing the week before at the Region 5B championships at Glen Allen. Because of the pandemic, there was no automatic qualifying standards. One had to do well at his or her respective regional meet, and, because fewer entrants were allowed in states, one had to be in the top four finishers in an event to qualify. And the regional meet was, like the state meet, a one-day affair. But Foreman obviously han-

dled the pressure well. And she let life return to normal as soon as the meet was over. “I did a little shopping out there then because we were kind of near a mall,” Foreman said. “Then on the ride home, I passed out in the car.” Don’t worry. She wasn’t driving. She was finally getting some well-deserved rest. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

ting through [regionals], but we’re excited to do some work and see what the team up north brings to us,” Neal said. In the girls game, the faceoff is called a draw control. It perfectly described the game plan and execution of the Mavericks, who won seven of the first nine draw controls of the match, drawing their offense into a quick chemistry, seemingly a step ahead of the defending champions. Kerry Nease, the leader of the draw control dominance, scored two of the first five Maverick goals of the match. Twelve seconds after her second tally, Claire DeSouza scored to give Douglas Freeman a 5-1 lead just 6:47 into the contest. According to Nease, who will play for Duke, the ability to win in the middle, then capitalize on opportunity, comes down to one element.

Hitting the water

Joel Klein for The Local

Old Church’s Gabriella Sanchez, Milestone’s Elizabeth Eavey and Old Church’s Annabelle Baker hit the water for the first leg of the 8 & under 100-meter mixed medley relay in week 2 of GRAL competition Wednesday at Milestone.

Varina, Matoaca 5; 37. Gloucester 4; 38. Riverside 3; 39. Granby 2; 40. Thomas Jefferson S&T 1. Local results 3,200: 7. Travis Albon (Atlee) 9:55.65, 13. Patrick Allen (Atlee)

10:04.88; 4x100 relay: 4. Atlee (Keith Green, Caleb Warren, Cullen Carter, Efe Obrimah) 43.60; Pole vault: 7. Will Rittenhouse (Atlee) 11-0; 9. William Wimmer (Atlee) 11-0; 10. Greg Durgin (Atlee) 10-6.

“This time, in particular, we worked together so well. On the circle, Grace Moore, Bridget Wilson are incredible on the draw and so ambitious,” Nease explained. “They always seem to know where I’m going to put it. Everybody was engaged and ready to play today.” Atlee (10-1) finally got its offense on track in the latter part of the first half, scoring three goals in 81 seconds, Ashley Karn and Olivia Ritter, who tallied twice, cutting the margin to 8-5. The teams traded goals the remainder of the half with the Mavericks up 12-7 at intermission. The Raiders found their groove in the middle in the second half, winning seven of 12 draw controls, keeping the margin at five until the Mavericks scored two over a four-minute span for a 16-9 lead. While the Raiders scored four of the last five goals of the match, it was too little, too late as the Mavericks began burning time off the clock after a

timeout with seven minutes left. Kate Miller ends her illustrious career with five goals, while Karn added three. It’s the first region crown for the Maverick girls, who next travel to face Patrick Henry (Roanoke) in a Class 5 state semifinal Tuesday. For Douglas Freeman head coach Christina D’Angelo, it’s back to work with some familiarity, as the Patriots feature players that Nease and others have faced on the club circuit. Her postgame perspective was simple. “We used [the pandemic] to motivate us. We kept saying, this could be the last time, at any moment,” D’Angelo said. “We held on to the feeling we had when [last] season was taken away, reminding ourselves, this is precious.” Nease stood savoring how precious the moment was, holding the trophy in one arm and D’Angelo’s young daughter in the other.
