Ashland digs deeper into trench option with rail

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Crunch time is quickly approaching for a group of elected officials, citizens and experts attempting to reach a consensus on the best option for a high speed rail project slated for construction in the next 15 to 25 years.

Ashland Town Council met last Wednesday evening at Randolph Macon College to consider the latest option being considered for a controversial high speed rail project from Washington, D.C., to Richmond.

Representatives from Ashland serving on a Community Advisory

Ashland Mayor Jim Foley fielded questions and listened to questions from Ashland residents who are pondering the best alternative for a high speed rail project.

Committee (CAC) formed by the Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) called the meeting to gather

public input on an alternative to current through town rail options, some that include installing a third rail that would disrupt the town’s downtown area.

Ashland Mayor Jim Foley, who is a CAC member, has repeatedly stated that a third rail above ground option is not acceptable.

At last month’s meeting of the CAC, DRPT officials unveiled a third underground option called a three-track trench that appeared to have some positive aspects.

Ashland business owners and residents gathered at Birdsong Hall to hear available

National Park Service hosting Harvest Days RICHMOND.—Three hundred years of Virginia’s storied past will come alive at Rural Plains on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 16-17, during Richmond National Battlefield Park’s first-ever Harvest Days.

Offered in partnership with the Rural Plains Foundation, the weekend celebration will feature Revolutionary War and Civil War camps, kids’ games and crafts, artisans, historic weapons demonstrations, and much more.

The event is free and open to the public.

“Few places embody our history the way Rural Plains does,” said Richmond National Battlefield Park Superintendent David Ruth.

“Harvest Days promises to be a wonderful and experiential event with something for everyone.”

With roots back to the 1720s, the Rural Plains property witnessed the birth of America, experienced first-hand the ravages of the Civil War, and transitioned from a working farm into a 124-acre National Park site.

Throughout Harvest Days, that rich his-

tory will be reflected in a variety of living history demonstrations and activities.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, living history volunteers will be on hand in Revolutionary War and Civil War era troop camps and will offer historic weapons demonstrations.

Highlighting the site’s history as a working farm, artisans will offer weaving, spinning, and quilting demonstrations, illustrate how perfume was made in the 18th century, and give visitors an opportunity to try their hand at rope-making.

Historic figures will come to life as reenactors portraying Patrick Henry and an enslaved plantation worker share their experiences and thoughts about America in the 1700s and 1800s.

A number of hands-on activities for kids will be available, including games that were popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, such as hoop and stick, graces, spinning tops, and more. Featured crafts include designing and see HARVEST, pg. 4

details on the latest proposal, only one of many alternative routes that must be considered and prioritized by the community committee.

DRPT consulting engineer manager Wayne Hyatt told the group the trench option was the result of public input received in previous meetings allowing them to target negative aspects of some alternatives.

The third rail option would require the removal of some right-of-way from Railroad Avenue, eliminating some businesses and impacting all of them.

Josh Farrar, town manager and also a member of the CAC, explained the need for public input to assist committee members in making decisions.

The CAC is tasked with

selecting the “least objectionable option” from each category of alternatives that include: through town above ground options, three below ground plans and eastern and western bypass routes.

The group also hopes to reach a consensus on one option, a recommendation that will go forward to the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CRB) as it prepares a final Environmental Impact Study for the Federal Railway Administration (FRA).

Foley said it is important for the CAC to speak with one voice in that recommendation and he fears anything less could result in a least acceptable selection such as a third rail above ground project through downtown Ashland.

But the trench proposal also has a number of drawbacks. Construction time could take up to three years,

And there’s another element of the trench option that does not appeal to some residents.

The latest option also would eliminate the current Ashland train station but also would remove current railroad crossings and improve safety for R-MC students.

Residents had a number of other questions regarding the trench option, including concerns over foundation damage from trains passing under the town at 90 miles per hour, or the potential explosive hazards of exhaust fumes emitted in a below ground ditch.

But, many of the concerns centered around the impacts on the town’s business community and its downtown area.

Why is being sensitive to others taboo?

Election officials needed in Hanover County

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor There seems to be a considerable amount of criticism about being politically correct. Why is that? If we’re being sensitive to others, how can that be categorized as wrong?

I don’t have any memory of ever insulting or antagonizing someone based on their race, religion, sexual preference — you get the idea.

Having been raised in a Christian home (and I’ll readily admit I didn’t always adhere to the lessons my parents instilled in my sister and me), I did respect others — even when I didn’t agree.

Some recent events in our country have played out like an elementary school playground scene.

I completely support the right to peacefully protest, but the name-calling, egg-throwing, brawling

behavior can’t be explained or accepted.

Opinions differ and we all know the old saying about opinions — yes, everybody has one. But that doesn’t require an ugly response.

Civil discourse must return to our society. It seems people are running amok with little, if any, thought for others.

Social media has opened a floodgate for those who hide behind that forum to ridicule, humiliate and even push them to suicide.

I continue to maintain that most of those who try to appear as though they’re so tough couldn’t interact in a face-to-face conversation, much less a confrontation. They choose to hide behind the curtain of the internet.

So many times, the words of Rodney King ring through my ears: “Why can’t we all just get

along?”

As managing editor of the six publications in Richmond Suburban News, I will fiercely defend free speech. And there have been countless times when I didn’t agree — especially in our letters to the editor forum.

Still, I won’t verbally assault someone because we disagree.

But, getting back to the politically correct theme. It’s simple to me: respect for all.

How is being offensive for senseless reasons even comprehensible? I just don’t understand.

Have I had heated arguments? Sure, but they have been issue-driven, not anything personal.

Let’s stop the attacks and return to a civil society. This beat ’em up attitude only takes the soul out of what is good and right in America.

You don’t know someone’s circumstances so be charitable

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I never gave much thought to the man who sits daily at a stoplight near my house. His sign indicates he is homeless and needs help.

I’ve never stopped to question his motives, or ponder what happens to the dollars given by motorists as they sit and wait for the light to turn green.

And the folks who give the donations have garnered even a lesser amount of attention and their actions haven’t evoked any emotion on my part.

As I gassed up my car last week at a local quick stop, where it seems that I’m always the last in line for an open pump, all that changed.

I leaned on the trunk of my car as the pump clicked when I noticed a distraught woman going from island

to island asking for money from the many customers filling their tanks.

Most politely rejected her pleas as she continued undeterred from customer to customer.

A young woman with three children in a van responded with a dollar bill, and the presumably homeless lady disappeared into the night.

Now, I’m still not paying much attention to any of this as my tank fills and I finish pushing buttons.

But, no one could ignore what happened next.

As the young mother got back in her van, a car pulled alongside her vehicle on the passenger side and displayed the internationally accepted “roll down your window” sign.

Only a few feet away on the opposite side of the island, I heard the lady in the car speak.

The November elections for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and the House of Delegates are fast approaching.

The Hanover County General Registrar, Teri Smithson, and her small staff and the Hanover County Electoral Board are busy preparing.

The paper ballots have been ordered and will soon arrive. Some new vote counting machines also have arrived to replace older, worn equipment. And refresher training for the citizens who run the polling places on Election Day will begin in mid September.

There is one more thing that is needed. Hanover County needs more “Officers of Election”. That is the formal term for your fellow citizens who run the polling places in each of the county’s 36 polling places.

A General Election such as we will have in November requires a minimum of 196 Officers of Election to be working.

A Presidential Election requires a minimum of 277, because of the added number of citizens who come to vote.

We need a pool of trained alternates as well, because there are always some Officers of Election who cannot serve on a particular election day due to illness, work conflicts, family events, and so on.

Furthermore, each year there is some turnover in Officers of Election due to death, disability, moving out of Hanover County and the like.

All of this means that Hanover County needs a pool of over 300 trained Officers of Election.

So, I am writing this as an appeal for Volunteers.

Hanover County needs reliable, public-spirited citizens, who are willing and usually able to work on Election Day and to attend several short trainsee LETTERS, pg. 8

CHARITABLE Continued from pg. 6

giving them money. They just go inside and spend it on alcohol,” she said in a distressed tone.

At first, the mother in the car did not respond, and she seemed almost scared with the unexpected encounter.

Her response was much more polite than mine would have been, but she sheepishly told the intruding woman that she was only trying to help someone who needed it.

That response only intensified the passion of the lady in the car, and proceeded to provide an over-abundance of information regarding how people should and should not give.

The mother looked around with a look of confusion, finally putting her car in gear and pulling out of the station.

A more socially committed person would have, I suppose,

intervened, and I felt the urge to unload on the intrusive person, but years of experience have taught me to steer clear when you can and confront only when you must.

But, she wasn’t finished with her commentary on charity and since I was the only one left in earshot, she saved her parting remarks for me.

“You only hurt those people by giving them money,” she said to me.

I could have said a lot but I kept it short. “It’s none of my business, and none of yours either.”

I got back in my car without waiting for another couple of minutes of verbal barrage citing her objections to folks who beg for money on the street, or the gas station.

I wondered if even charity has become a point of contention in our divided nation, and will we be judged for who we do or do not help with assistance.

The whole episode seemed

insignificant when Hurricane Harvey hit Texas last week, and many Americans find themselves in the position of depending on the kindness of their fellow citizens for assistance.

The response for aid has been overwhelming and it will take a sustained effort to allow devastated residents to get back on their feet.

And, somehow, the act of people helping people doesn’t seem as petty as that incident at the gas station, but it does make me wonder.

Does it really matter who we help or how we do it, or is the act of charity the real important element in this equation?

It also reinforces my belief that people are basically good and helping those less fortunate is not something we do with judgment but with compassion …. Just like that young mother who gave a dollar at the gas station.

ing sessions each year before Election Day. Officers of Election are paid for both training and for working on Election Day, but we do not want people to do it just for the money.

We need volunteers who want to help for the sake of good government and honest elections.

Two classes to train new Officers of Election will be held at 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 14.

New Officers of Election serving for the first time in November need to attend one of those classes. They also will be given on the job training by the “old pros” during the course of Election Day. Nobody will be asked to take on responsibilities they are not prepared to do.

If you want to embark on this very rewarding public service, please call Deputy General Registrar Sheilah Frattini at the General Registrar’s Office, 804-365-6080, or send her an e-mail at safrattini@hanovercounty.gov.

Russ Boraas Chairman Hanover County Electoral Board

Success takes more than talk As I read the article, Continuing path of success is goal in the Aug. 30, 2017, issue of The Mechanicsville Local quoting Michael Gill, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, repeating the same ideas for this school year that he has echoed since the beginning of his tenure, I couldn’t help but be confused at his use of words like “innovative” and “outside of the box.”

Dr. Gill did a superb job stating every one of the latest educational buzzwords.

He nailed every talking point like a professional politician.

Teachers have heard these same words repeated every school year as they’re parroted by the superintendent to the VSA has primary Virginia office locations in Richmond,

media and in speeches.

He quotes these buzzwords to score political points, not because he has any intention of executing them.

Parents want to know what’s going to be done to improve education for their children now, not in six years when they don’t attend Hanover schools anymore.

Dr. Gill stated that he was excited and impressed with teachers taking professional development over the summer.

However, teachers are forced to take the same old mundane and useless professional development over the summer; it isn’t optional.

He then proclaimed that “our staff ” is excited about his vision.

Dr. Gill made sure to take credit for the success of the Hanover school division last year, not mentioning that Chesterfield students scored equal or higher than 54% of Hanover students on tested subgroups last year; King William scored higher on 43%; and New Kent County scored higher on 38%. (Henrico even scored higher than 32%!)

that “innovation� and “outside the box thinking� are what he wants to see from Hanover teachers.

Randall White Sr. Mechanicsville

Reader takes issue with recent letter As a “mindless simpleton� called out in Michael Reardon’s Aug. 30 letter entitled, “North had exploited the South�, I feel compelled to address the many incorrect statements he made.

After insulting his audience, Reardon opens his letter by stating ž of U.S. tax income came from the South.

I found this an extraordinary statement, so I looked further into it.

Using data from the New York Chamber of Commerce’s 1859-1860 report, and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury’s report from 1859-1860, I found numbers that dispute that claim. During that period, the federal government collected $38,834,212 in import tariff revenue from the Port of New York while the federal government’s total receipts for that year were $76,752,033.89.

This means the Port of New York paid over 50% of the federal government’s income before the Civil War making it impossible that the South could have paid ž of the government’s taxes.

After that, Reardon assumes Lincoln’s only reason for fighting the Civil War was to save his tax revenues. He brushes off the possibility that Lincoln had no other reason to hold the Union together than for tax revenue, assuming that Lincoln had no measure of patriotism, no fear for his legacy, that his public distaste for slavery played no role, that he had no duty as president to

quell a rebellion, and that he didn’t worry about the strategic danger of having a hostile southern neighbor who nearly surrounded his capital.

I am curious how Reardon was privy to such a monopoly on our 16th President’s thoughts.

While Reardon cites two quotes from the Englishman Charles Dickens to discern the cause of the South’s secession, my simple mind would like to cite the states themselves to see why the South tried to leave the Union.

The constitution of the CSA protected slavery in Article I, stating, “No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in Negro slaves, shall be passed.�

Texas went further in its Declaration of Secession, stating Northern states did not uphold the Fugitive Slave Clause of the U.S. Constitution and that “that the servitude of the African race ... is mutually beneficial to both bond and free�.

South Carolina complained that the North allows abolitionist societies, describing them as “societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to eloign the property of the citizens of other States. They have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who remain, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures

While their people are away, the dogs will play!

to servile insurrection.�

Mississippi was the boldest of all the states, stating in the second sentence of its Declaration of Secession, “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world.�

I recommend Reardon read all the Declaration of Secessions he can find online, as slavery is brought up far more often than tariffs.

The South seceded because of slavery. The South said so themselves.

To conclude, Reardon extols the virtues of Robert E. Lee and compares him to Union Gen. Sherman.

‘LauraDell’ rezoning proposal OK’d by council ASHLAND — A historic rezoning case in the Town of Ashland, which involved a property owner’s proposal to develop 52.5 acres of his land that borders Ashland’s rural “western gateway” on the municipality’s edge with Hanover County, was approved Sept. 5 by Ashland Town Council after the final public hearing on the matter was conducted.

Council’s approval of Jones’ request for a development cleared the pathway for him to bring into action the construction of, at most, a 148-house neighborhood recently entitled “LauraDell.”

Yancey Jones filed the application with the town to rezone the large parcel, which is a big plot of undeveloped land mainly consisting of open field, from a “planned unit development” (PUD) that authorizes 5.12 units per acre “with a plan of development” to a PUD authorizing 2.82 units per acre – also attached with a development plan.

During last week’s council meeting, members heard from several different parties involved in the rezoning case during the public hearing.

They included: Nora Amos, town director of planning and community development; LeClairRyan, counselor representing the applicant; attorney William Shewmake; Ashland citizens and effected residents, including former Planning Commissioner Bob Brown and the

applicant.

Amos opened the discussion on REZ16-1220 (LauraDell), representing town staff, which recommended approval of the rezoning request to council.

She said staff suggested approval to council due to the elements provided in the PUD standards meeting a sufficient amount of Ashland’s comprehensive plan density bonuses, in addition to the proffers addressing off-site improvements in AMOS transportation that are recommended by their traffic impact analysis.

Staff also noted a request for “a multi-use trail” to be constructed alongside the soon-to-be “LauraDell Road/West Vaughan Road extended” – citing how it is called for in the comprehensive plan and the town’s strategic plan that it be included to replace closed sidewalks along one side, or by providing on-road bike lanes.

The latter was rooted out as being unsafe and not falling under Virginia Department of Transportation regulations.

When Mayor James Foley turned the floor over to the applicant, Shewmake, a lawyer with the LeClairRyan firm, approached council as a

AIRPORT Continued from pg. 16

County’s Airport] basically is that it was authorized in 2002,” Rempe said.

The development for east side parking was approved for authorization by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors in 2002.

Since its authorization roughly 15 years ago, Rempe said “there’s been a lot of changes going on in the aviation industry … plus we had the big recession back in 2008.”

“Now, prior to this development that we have currently, and the construction, we had to do an environmental assessment – that environmental assessment took a period of about five years or so, but wasn’t approved until 2008,” Rempe said.

Due to the explosion of an $8 trillion housing bubble in December 2007, creating what is now known as the Great Recession that lasted until June 2009, the loss of wealth that resulted from it led to steep declines in spending.

“Once the environmental assessment was approved in 2008 [by the HCBOS], we were into the recession – there really wasn’t any justification for the need at that point in time because the business was

actually dropping,” he continued.

“The airplanes weren’t flying as much as they used to, there was this period of time when it was unpopular for corporate chief executive officers (CEOs) to fly their own aircraft and that sort of thing. The face of business aviation has changed a little bit; it’s coming out of that recession now and we’re starting to see more corporate traffic.”

Rempe said the county’s municipal airport is starting to see a decrease in smaller, general aviation aircraft, but more of the corporate aircraft.

Since the corporate aircrafts tend to be larger than ones being used for general aviation purposes, it required the need to start searching for spaces to park the big planes.

“The total number of aircraft coming in and out is probably the same. It’s just that the fleet mix has changed a little bit,” Rempe added.

He said the development is being carried out in three phases, and the first phase was granted last year. That phase included taxi cab connections to the runway, some additional ramp apron and a new access road to Sliding Hill Road from the east side as well as a nine- or 10-car parking lot.

“The second phase is the one that

just recently got awarded; that was just under $2.8 million that is to expand the phase one ramp apron space a little bit to the north and a little bit to the south,” he said.

Rempe predicted that phase three probably won’t begin for several years.

“It’s all depending on, you know – the need, and traffic for whatever is going to be established on the east side.”

He said it would include more treeclearing and more future hangar space.

“But, like I said, it’s all depending on what the demand might be. So, we’re looking to have phase one completed here sometime before the end of October.”

The second phase will begin immediately after the completion of phase one sometime in the next year and also is expected to be completed in the same year.

Mike Flagg, Hanover County director of public works, provided a short overview of the construction process.

“An apron is basically a big flat asphalt area where planes can park. That [construction] will occur through this fall and up into the spring, and we’ll be finished up with [the second phase] after that. Then after some time, we plan to build some hangars, but those have not been scheduled yet,” Flagg said.

Federal funds help build expanded aircraft parking

An application had been submitted by Hanover County to the FAA applying for the grant, which is awarded to certain airports across the nation that qualify for funding as part of the federal agency’s Airport Improvement Plan (AIP).

A $2.8 million federal grant is allowing the Hanover County Municipal Airport to build an apron that will expand aircraft parking on the east side of the Ashland area facility.

According to its website’s information page about the AIP, the grant covers a range of 90 to 95% of eligible costs based on statutory requirements for small, primary, reliever and general aviation airports.

Shewmake was accompanied by the project designer, Keith Whipple, a principal and co-founder of Virginia-based landscape architecture firm, Waterstreet Studio; and founder of Stockbridge Cos., a development and project advisory group in Richmond.

“We think we’ve gone about as far as we possibly can in terms of meeting what the town wants, and accomplishing both their visions,” Shewmake said.

During the last public hearing regarding the case at the Sept. 5 regular meeting, Ashland residents who are opposed to the rezoning and live near the then-proposed location of interest mainly have concerns with traffic and how it will affect safety.

Many Ashlanders living near

the development site said council is allowing their existing neighborhood to essentially be split in half to open enough space to build a new neighborhood.

Brown then addressed council. “My simple question is: Do you want an Ashcake Road going through a nice

neighborhood? Very simple. It just seems absurd to me to consider a road like that through a place like this.”

Brown recently voted to recommend approval to town council when he was

still serving on the Ashland Planning Commission; but certain aspects with plans for street designs were continued in a preliminary plat that was approved during the Sept. 5 regular meeting after the rezoning passed the vote.

Council voted unanimously to approve the rezoning, and members were enthusiastic about its future.

“When you look back at the date – this is 34 years of trying to decide of what to put on this property. I think we’ve got the best we’ve seen for applying the standards that we’re looking for in 34 years,” said Vice Mayor Steve Trivett.

“I do appreciate the fact that I heard the word ‘compromise’ used between town staff and the applicant. When any jurisdiction can use the word ‘compromise’ without giving up standards that are important, it’s hard not to find a good solution,” he added.

new technology and a different way of doing it.”

Council member Karen Abbott said statistics gauging the effects of major construction projects like the proposed trench on existing business areas are not encouraging.

“I say this not because I do not think the spirit of Ashland is strong enough to overcome this construction project, what I’m suggesting is that the Ashland that comes out on the other end is not going to be our Ashland,” Abbott said.

“To me, is it OK for us as a community to accept that or do we fight to keep Ashland as we all know it?”

“Yes, there will be an impact on property values,” Farrar said.

But DRPT and RVA2DC project manager Emily Stock said property values could actually rise after the construction is completed.

That seems remote to many affected residents, but Farrar said he would encourage town officials to begin a reserve fund to assist those affected businesses as early as next year.

He also said the town will do whatever is possible to mitigate concerns and address issues that invariably arise dur-

Even with the additional information, Foley didn’t show his hand on how he planned to vote when the CAC convenes early next week, but hinted another committee meeting might be necessary.

But he stressed the importance of the CAC speaking with one unified voice with a clear choice of alternatives. ”I’ve been told that if the CAC is united, it’s very likely the CTB will follow that and choose that option … and it’s also likely the FRA will sup-

port that,” Foley said. “If we don’t come to an agreement … the third rail is still alive.”

Stock confirmed that.

“Technically, all options are still on the table,” she said. “No decisions have been made and no options are off the table.”

Farrar and Foley urged residents to contact their town council members and provide input on the upcoming decision.

“We’ve been asked to make a recommendation as part of a process,” Farrar said. “We can go back and say no … and say we’re not going to participate. In my mind, that leaves to someone else to make the decision. I think the appro-

priate thing is for us to make our own hard decision than leave that decision to someone else.”

Funding for the project has not been identified, and officials speculate that improvements on the 123-mile sector will be done in sections, and prioritized regarding need and traffic.

Portions of the project that impact Northern Virginia and Tidewater are likely to get first priority when it comes to funding, so a start date for the Ashland portion of the project is unclear.

The CTB will make a final recommendation to the FRA by late this year.

“A lot of big plays. Huge plays on special teams. We’ll take a win, but we’ll keep coaching and get these guys better.”

By Weldon Bradshaw For the Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Chances are very good that Josh Rice will not soon forget the highlight-film performance he administered to the Douglas Freeman Rebels on Friday night.

The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Rice scored four touchdowns and contributed a fourthquarter interception as he and his Lee-Davis teammates dispatched the visitors 35-21 on a cool, breezy evening in eastern Hanover.

“I’m hoping that I have games as good or better,” he said, “but, yeah, I’m definitely not going to forget this first home game. It was great.”

Standing at midfield afterward, he spoke with poise and confidence but nary a trace of cockiness. As any running back knows, he didn’t cross the goal line once, much less four times, without plenty of help.

“I can only go as far as my line takes me,” he said. “Shout out to them. It’s not one against 11. It’s 11 against 11.”

Rice’s first touchdown came on a 71-yard run up the home sideline at 6:18 of the first quarter. The first of Joseph Hudnall’s 5 extra points gave the Confederates, 2-0 and No. 8 in the Times-Dispatch Top 10, a 7-0 lead that they never relinquished.

Late caution allows Larson to slip by Truex

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor HENRICO – With two laps to go, it looked to be Martin Truex Jr.’s night in the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway Saturday night.

Truex, who had already clinched the Monster Energy Cup regular season title, was sailing away to what looked like a sure victory.

But then race officials threw a mystifying caution. Kyle Larson, who had been trailing Truex before the flag, got past Truex after the restart. Before Truex could catch up, Denny Hamlin got into him in turn one, knocking him into the wall, and Larson claimed the checkered flag.

The caution and subsequent accident robbed Truex of a post-race burnout – he was guaranteed of one no matter who won the race because of his regular-season title, but his burnout time was spent instead in the Infield Care Center.

“Tonight sucks, plain and simple, just the way it ended up,” Truex said. “You’re out there dominating like this. You know car is not very good on restarts for a couple laps. Caution for a

Kyle Larson signals victory with plenty of smoke after claiming the checkered flag in the Federated Auto Parts 400 Saturday.

guy that shouldn’t be out there is ridiculous. I don’t know. I don’t really know what to say about all that.”

The “guy that shouldn’t be out there” was Derrike Cope, who came out along the outer wall of turn 4 going much slower than the rest of the field.

“I don’t know if he apparent-

ly scraped the wall a few times and, I don’t know, couldn’t stay in the racetrack as slow as he was going. It’s unfortunate they threw a caution for that. … I don’t know if it should have been thrown or not.”

The caution gave Larson the final break he needed. He had led the race twice before, and

had been running at or near the front of the pack all night long.

“Good night for us to win at a short track. Feels amazing,” Larson said. “To have our pit crew perform like they did tonight makes me feel very proud for them and our whole organization. I’m not a very good short track racer, so for

us to come here and challenge for the win and get the win, it feels great.”

Truex likewise led three times, for 198 of the race’s 405 laps – the race went long because of the late cautions. He was more upset about the caution that forced the final restart than he was about the accident

that ended his race.

“I know he didn’t do it on purpose,” Truex said. “That stuff happens.”

Hamlin explained the accident.

“We both drove in really, really deep,” Hamlin said.

“When I got on the brakes, the splitter slammed down on the ground, shot me up the track into him. We weren’t racing for the win or anything, but it’s unfortunate – didn’t want to get into him. He’s a great teammate of ours.”

The race marked the end of an era as Dale Earnhardt Jr., who needed a win to qualify for the Chase, finished 13th despite leading from lap 335 to lap 347.

Earnhardt said he might have had a shot at a win if he had gotten a caution late – but leaving enough time to make some passes.

“That was the only way we were going to win the race,” Earnhardt said. “I mean, we had speed. We could run up to fifth and sixth. We weren’t going to get around those five guys running in front of us, so we had to pull that strategy. If the caution comes out while we’re leading, see LARSON, pg. 28

Field of Monster Energy Cup contenders set

By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – The last time that Joey Logano was in the media center at Richmond Raceway, he was celebrating a victory in the Toyota Owners 400 in April.

It wasn’t until his car went to the NASCAR R&D center that Logano’s joy turned to despair as his win was ruled to be encumbered and it wouldn’t

count toward the playoffs.

Coming into the Federated Auto Parts 400, Logano was one of a handful of drivers who needed to win the race in order to make the playoffs.

But, Logano fell one position short as he finished second in the regular season finale for the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series.

“It stings a little bit,” Logano said. “After a second overall for Richmond, you’d say that was

pretty good for a first and a second in one year. It stings to come up one spot short. To not get into the playoffs, it’s reality, but we’ll move on. It was a test of our character. We don’t want to roll over. We want to help our teammates win a championship. It may be the end of our championship run this year, but there’s a lot of races and stats we can rack up. It is what it is.

“We were close. I said before the race, second is a failure and

we finished second. We knew how to handle these situations and we executed as good as we knew how. It’s a humbling sport, that’s how it is sometimes. We’ll fight hard to come back.”

Of the 16 spots available in the Monster Energy Cup playoffs, only three hadn’t been clinched via race wins.

Keselowski outduels Busch in Virginia529 race rounds getting to Homestead means a lot to our team,” Sadler said. “It means we can go to Chicago and be aggressive and take some chances. We’re going to use it as a preseason game – to use the NFL analogy – to kind of warm us up for Kentucky.”

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor HENRICO – Brad Keselowski felt his car would be the best out there for a long run in the Virginia529 College Savings 250 at Richmond Raceway Friday night.

After a long battle with Kyle Busch lasting nearly the entire race, Keselowski proved himself right. Keselowski overtook Busch in traffic on lap 235 and pulled away to take the checkered flag.

Busch finished second followed by Ty Dillon, Daniel Hemric and Elliott Sadler.

“From my view, that was just one of those race wins that was just extremely personally gratifying,” Keselowski said. “To race [Busch] and know that you are probably as good as someone on short runs and just trying to wear them down every lap, knowing that if you get a long you’ve got a shot at it – and we did. We got a long run, but still had to make the right moves.”

Busch started in the pole position and used it to advantage, opening up a big lead over the field early in the race.

But as his tires began to wear, Keselowski crept up and overtook Busch for the first time on lap 47.

Keselowski’s first lead lasted only 12 laps before Busch regained the lead on lap 59, but he could only hold it for five laps. From lap 64 to 98, the lead changed from Ty Dillon to Brendan Gaughan and finally Daniel Hemric before Busch and Keselowski resumed their battle on lap 98.

Busch dominated – he led 182 of the 250 laps – but Keselowski kept him in his sights, creeping up and waiting for a chance to get around Busch for the final stretch.

That occurred when Busch and Keselowski got caught up in a

But the retiring Earnhardt hopes to make the most of the remaining 10 races of the season, even if a championship is not in charge.

“Tonight showed us that we can certainly run well if we work hard. So we’ll see if we can get a few more good runs, maybe a win – you never know,” he said. “We’ll keep plugging away and see if we can’t have some fun before the end of this season.”

When a gap finally opened enough, Keselowski was the one in position and he broke through first. Busch also got through, but he was now behind Keselowski and he slowly fell back.

Busch said the traffic wasn’t the reason why Keselowski got ahead.

little bit. Our stuff was worn out by then,” Busch said. “Actually, I was a little surprised it took him that long to get to me. I thought he was going to pass us a lot sooner. He must have just been waiting and biding his time a little bit more, and waiting for that traffic to get there. He had more tire and had everything he needed to get us at the end.”

Keselowski celebrated the victory with an epic burnout that featured a long drift down the front stretch – just inches away from the wall – and a spin

around, and equally close to, the bed of a safety truck containing NBC racing analyst Rutledge Wood and a videographer who were waiting for the chance to interview him.

“I think I was watching too many Ken Black videos,” Keselowski said of the inspiration behind the burnout.

“There will probably be a rule that nobody can do that anymore after that one. … I knew I wasn’t going to hit him, but I really wanted Rutledge and his face and I saw it – and it was

priceless.”

While Sadler didn’t win, the top-five finish added 15 more points to his Xfinity series lead, which was already enough to clinch for him the Xfinity regular season title. The regular season concludes at ChicagoLand Speedway next Saturday. The series playoffs begin at Kentucky Speedway on Sept. 23 and end in a series finale at HomesteadMiami Speedway on Nov. 18.

By Wayne Epps Jr. Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – With a pair of strong performances, two Deep Run runners picked up right where they left off last season, leading the way for the Wildcats at Saturday’s Pole Green Classic cross country meet.

Senior Zachary Levet took third in the championship boys race, and junior Lily Snow was fourth in the championship girls race. They were the top finishers in their fields among runners from local schools.

And, for the second year in a row, Deep Run won the boys title.

This was also the second consecutive year that Levet took third in the race held at Pole Green Park in Mechanicsville.

This year’s time of 15:53.00 is a personal record.

“A lot of my training paid off over the summer,” Levet said.

“I felt really comfortable in the woods. And I just kept building confidence up the hills. The hills were really where I felt the best.”

Grafton senior Price Owens won the boys race with a time of 15:40.60. Jack Ikenberry (Lee-Davis) was the top Hanover county finisher, coming in 11th in 16:14.50. Atlee’s Kameron Helmlinger was 12th in 16:26.80.

Snow won the girls race last year at 19:22.23. This year, she finished in 18:46.80. She said this year’s race was more competitive than last year’s.

“I didn’t really know anyone going into the race, so I just went out hard just to see how I could do,” Snow said. “And, the woods were really hard with the hills and stuff, so I kind of died a little bit on there. But then I just came out strong and then was just going for best time at the end.”

Cross country teams return strong

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – New seasons usually bring turnover as last year’s seniors graduate and a new crop of freshmen arrive.

“They all did their work

Hanover hitters hammer Powhatan in 3-1 win

By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Coming off a strong performance at a showcase, the Hanover girls volleyball team didn’t give its best performance against Powhatan on Wednesday night, but did enough to earn a four set victory, 25-15, 25-21, 19-25, 25-16.

Powhatan head coach Amber Ortolano described the Hawks as the “hardest-hitting” team her squad had seen to date, and the Hawks showed why early.

Hanover came out of the gates with a flurry of big points behind the play of senior Kylie Tuxford and junior Megan Kratzer. The duo combined for 11 kills in the first set, with four coming early to help the Hawks jump out to a 5-1 lead.

Powhatan was able to battle back and tie the score at 77, but the offensive capabilities of Hanover proved to be too much. The Hawks scored the next five points and didn’t allow the Indians any closer than four the rest of the set.

“They’re probably the hardest hitting team we’ve seen.

I do have to give that credit to their hitters. They’re smart playing, they’re placing the ball where we aren’t,” Ortolano said. “The moment we try to adjust; they’re hitting it somewhere else. As the sets went on, we progressively got better. We

praised Kellogg for her steady, and continuously improving game, and further praised Tuxford, his outside hitter, for her steadiness throughout the night.

“It’s pretty impressive that no matter what’s going on, [Tuxford] seems to be on it.

She’s always helpful, commits very few errors, and more so

than ever is a positive energy that we can look to,” Knight said.

going to be a really interesting year.”

Atlee’s roster features a number of familiar names – either because individuals have returned, or because younger siblings have joined the team. On the boys side, senior Kameron Helmlinger will set the pace. Sophomore Cabell Franklin and freshman Rachel Mudd should do the same on the girls side.

While first-year Raider head coach Tyler Busch likes his team’s athletic potential, he likes the kids even more.

“They’re talented runners, but most importantly, they’re really good kids – real friendly.

They’ve been real nice,” Busch said. “They’ve worked real well together. We’ve got a few new kids coming in – freshmen, eighth graders. This is their first time doing it. You see the experience kids being friendly helping them out.”

did have some big blocks and adjustments.”

Hanover won the second set in come-from-behind fashion, as it was Powhatan that controlled the action early on. The Indians didn’t come through with powerful offense in the same form as the Hawks, but were able to strategically find weaknesses at the Hanover net.

The effort led to a 16-10 lead before another strong effort

from Tuxford brought the Hawks back for the win.

Powhatan, however, was able to carry over momentum to the third set, where it earned a victory.

“We’re usually the queens of unforced errors, but the moment the other team started to make mistakes, we started to play a little bit more strategic, got them out of system and started to make plays,” Ortolano

said.

The fourth set began in the same fashion as the first with Hanover racing out to a 6-1 lead before Powhatan could close it down to 9-6. However, Tuxford continued her strong play to push the Hawks through and get the win. The outside hitter finished with 22 kills, many off sets from Quinn Kellogg, who finished with 33 assists.

“They put in a lot of work this summer. The rest of my guys are pretty young.”

Patrick Henry’s girls will be led by senior Jennifer Macias.

She will get help from a lot of underclassmen.

“I’ve got a plethora of freshmen, sophomores and juniors that can all step in and help out,” Dobrinski said.

Hanover head coach Cameron Hopper said that his boys – led by Nathaniel Good – look pretty solid for the season.

The girls, however, have a few questions following Courtney Rosser’s decision to focus on soccer. Still, they have a solid leader in sophomore Rachel Crytser, who had an impressive freshman season.

“It’s really hard to say how we’re going to stack up because they’ve changed everything this year,” Hopper said. “I think it’s

Kenseth was caught up in the chain reaction and got into the back of Clint Bowyer, which caved in the front of the car and caused race-ending radiator damage.

“We were pretty decent early on,” Kenseth told NBC Sports

after he was out of the race. “If I hadn’t been back there to start with, maybe I wouldn’t have gotten wrecked.”

On the sidelines, Kenseth needed to hope that a first-time winner did not break through and win. Fortunately for him, that was not the case and he qualified for the playoffs.

McMurray and Elliott both

had uneventful nights, which was exactly what those drivers needed to in order to qualify for the postseason.

“We’ll try to get to Chicago and step up more than everyone else,” Elliott said. “We’ll have to be on our game, better than we’ve been all year. Once this deal starts, anything can happen. The way it works is pretty

unique. We’re not all equal as far as points go, but we’re going to have to run really well.”

By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILE – Against an untested quarterback, Mills Godwin bet the house on the blitz and got the results it needed.

Linebackers Aaron Miller and Will Shulleeta spent enough of the second half in the backfield to throw off Atlee quarterback T.C. Nance, making his first start in relief of the injured Tyler Warren. The Godwin duo each made a key sack to lead a defense that preserved a 147 victory Friday night at the Raiders’ field that sent Atlee to its worst start in nine years.

Godwin (2-1) built its lead on two one-yard sneaks by quarterback Sean Bowers, with the eventual winner coming off a lightning-quick drive answering Atlee’s lone score, a sneak of its own from Nance that tied the game midway through the third quarter.

Bryce Safferwich broke free for two big runs on the first two plays of the drive, the latter aided by a facemask penalty.

Two plays later, Bowers bulled in from one yard out to cap a drive that took just 46 seconds off the clock.

From there, the Eagles were content to focus on keeping Atlee (0-2) out of the end zone. Miller sacked Nance to scuttle one Raiders drive, while Shulleeta drilled him from the blind side on a key third down on another.

Nance was a late selection as the starting quarterback when Warren was ruled out on

Mills Godwin 7 0 7 0 — 14 Atlee 0 0 7 0— 7 MG – Bowers 1 run (Wisch kick) A – Nance 1 run (Marcos kick) MG – Bowers 1 run (Wisch kick)

Friday.

“We just had to get ready with what we saw,” Godwin coach Ron Strine said. “We didn’t really change our defensive game plan that much.”

The second drive ended when Nance’s fourth-down pass to Cameron Foreman ended just short of the first-down

marker, but the Raiders had one more drive left in them. They capitalized on back-to-back Godwin penalties to get to the 5-yard line, but Max McRoberts blew up Tucker Bratton’s run on third down. On the next play, Nance bobbled the snap and was forced to scramble, and Austin Pitts brought him down

short of the marker.

The bobbled snap was one of several throughout the game that put Nance under pressure, while Miller and Shulleeta each got into the backfield unblocked at times.

“We’re making a lot of mistakes right now, across the board. It’s not just offense, not

just defense,” Atlee coach Matt Gray said. “It’s all the way across the board. We’re just making mental mistakes that we’ve got to get better at.”

For their first score, the Eagles asserted themselves quickly after an Atlee three-andout, going 85 yards in a six-minute drive that featured a 17-yard

RUSHING MG: Safferwich 14 carries 91 yards, Bowers 20-74, Stanton 3-13, Pitts 1-(-2), team 4-(-29). A: Isaac Abel 12-53, Bratton 7-5, Nance 2(minus 5), TEAM 6-(minus 43).

PASSING MG: Bowers 2 completions 6 attempts 30 yards 1 interception. A: Nance 5-17-50-1.

RECEIVING MG: Massie 1 reception 21 yards, Stanton 1-9. A: Konecny 1-30, Belvin 1-7, Johnson 1-6, Foreman 1-4, Bratton 1-3.

Records – Mills Godwin 2-1, Atlee 0-2.

and, according to Kyle Busch, the favorite is crystal clear.

Continued from pg. 30 “The 78 car has been the best car, with me and (Larson) two and three, flip a coin,” Kyle and McMurray.

The first round starts on Sept. Busch said. “(The 78) is really 17 at Chicagoland Speedway good and we know they’re going

to be the ones to beat.”

Truex, who was dejected after dominating the race in Richmond but lost the race on the final restart and eventually crashed on the final lap after getting into an accident with

Hamlin, is thankful for the big lead he has coming into the playoffs, but said he hopes to run well enough that he won’t have to fall back on them.

“Obviously, it’s a good thing that we have them,” he said. “I

think for us, we have to run as good as we can. We’ve had lightning fast cars and I feel like we’re one of the strongest teams.

I hope we can continue to perform at the level we’ve been performing at. Hopefully we won’t

need those bonus points, but they’re nice to have.”

Improve lighting One of the easiest ways to reduce the risk of falls is to improve lighting around the home.

The National Institutes of Health state that adequate lighting is important at entrances to the home, stairways, hallways, and other frequently traversed areas. Make sure lighting fixtures are using the highest wattage light bulb allowed.

Artificial lighting sources become even more vital in fall and autumn, when natural light is less abundant in a home. In addition, install lighting outdoors by the front door, over the garage and where garbage pails are stored to facilitate safe passage.

Eliminate slick surfaces

At Yard Works, we know that a little bit of preparation in the fall can really give you a spectacular lawn when spring arrives. That’s why we are offering these great fall specials on Yard Works’ highest quality lawn products.

njuries that occur around the home contribute to millions of medical visits and tens of thousands of fatalities each year. Falls account for the largest percentage of home accidents, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that around 30,000 fall-related fatalities occur each year in the United States. Many home accidents are entirely preventable when proper caution is exercised.

As homeowners prepare for homeimprovement projects, improving safety inside and outside the home should be a priority.

Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings.

Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs.

Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matteor textured-finished flooring to improve stability underfoot.

Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates.

Make needed repairs Repair loose floorboards and pull carpet taut if it has started to stretch out. Address cracks outdoors and ensure that patio stones, bricks and pavers are secure and level to reduce tripping hazards. Fix areas of the landscape where water may pool and freeze, creating potential hazards.

Stairs should be free of clutter and have sturdy railings.

Declutter all spaces Remove unnecessary items and furniture from rooms to free up more space to get around.

Be sure there are no obstructions in walkways, entryways and near doors. Keep staircases clear at all times.

Invest in assistive devices Handrails, grab bars, nonslip stair treads, and many other devices can make homes safer for people of all ages and abilities. Outfit cabinets and closets with organizers that put frequently used items within easy reach. A sturdy step stool can reduce the risk of injury while reaching for items stored on high shelves.

Taking measures to reduce the risk of falling around the home is a worthwhile home improvement project.

FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT Must-have kitchen remodel features omeowners looking to renovate often see room for improvement in their kitchens and bathrooms.

The National Association of Home Builder’s Remodeling Market Index Survey, which measures conditions in the remodeling market, indicates that, in 2015, the two most common remodeling jobs were bathroom remodels (81 percent) and kitchen remodels (79 percent). According to HGTV and Statistics Brain, a new kitchen remodel for a kitchen measuring 12 by 12 feet may cost homeowners anywhere from $17,000 to $37,000.

Before investing so much into their remodeling projects, homeowners should think carefully about the features that will improve their time spent at home.

Although high-efficiency dishwashers are popular, deep sinks to soak soup pots or woks are still useful. Deep sinks may be preferable to double sinks, especially for homeowners who use lots of kitchen tools when preparing meals.

Soft-closing hinges When replacing cabinets (or just the hardware), consider installing soft-closing hinges and slides on doors and drawers. These devices eliminate slamming and caught fingers, reducing noise and injuries in the kitchen.

Foot-pedal water operation When outfitting a sink, think about foot controls, which are popular in doctors’ offices and hospitals. Turning on the water with the tap of a foot can reduce the transfer of pathogens to faucets from hands during food preparation. These pedals also free up hands for other tasks.

choose a model with the fridge on top and freezer on the bottom, especially if anyone in the household has mobility issues.

urtailing energy consumption is a great way for people to protect the planet’s natural resources and save money at the same time.

Part of the difficulty with regard to reducing energy consumption is that energy plays such a big role in our lives.

Smartphones and tablets have become must-have items, and these items, though not necessarily big consumers of energy, must be plugged in and charged. But individuals won’t have to unplug from their lives to reduce their energy consumption.

In fact, there are several easy, non-invasive ways for everyday people to reduce their energy consumption.

Ceiling fans can help homeowners and apartment dwellers reduce energy consumption and save money.

The windows in a home can help homeowners and apartment dwellers reduce their heating and cooling costs.

On cold days, pull back curtains so the natural sunlight can come in and warm the house, reducing the need to turn up the temperature on the thermostat. When the weather outside is especially warm, hang blackout curtains to prevent the hot sun from warming rooms and increasing the need for air conditioning. In addition, address any leaks around windows to ensure hot and cold air is not escaping and contributing to excessive energy consumption.

Maintain appliances and replace older ones While reducing reliance on energythirsty appliances is a great way to reduce energy consumption, no one needs to throw away their refrigerators. Instead, maintain appliances so they are not forced to work

harder, and thereby consume more energy, to function. Routinely clean the filters on window air conditioners, replacing them if they’re worn down. In addition, have HVAC units serviced annually to ensure they’re operating at peak capacity. Replace older appliances, including refrigerators, that are no longer effective.

Install a low-flow shower head The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their energy consumption install low-flow shower heads with flow rates less than 2.5 gallons per minute. This is especially important for people living in homes with dated fixtures. Water fixtures installed before 1992 might have flow rates as high as 5.5 gallons per minute, which is both wasteful and costly. Test the flow

of a shower head by placing a one-gallon bucket beneath a shower head running at the pressure you normally use. If the bucket fills up in less than 20 seconds, install a low-flow shower head.

Install ceiling fans Ceiling fans can be installed to reduce energy consumption in both summer and winter. In summer, ceiling fans can make home interiors more comfortable by circulating air around a room. That circulation can make rooms feel cooler, providing the same benefit of an air conditioner while consuming considerably less energy. In winter, reverse the rotation of ceiling fans so they circulate warm air and reduce reliance on heating systems.

Reducing energy consumption does not require substantial sacrifice, but it can produce substantial savings and benefit the planet in myriad ways.

where visitors can feel at home.

When furnishing a living room, keep the guest room in mind. A sofa that opens up to a bed or a convertible sectional can be a comfortable place for guests to lay their heads. Side tables provide guests with places to store their belongings, and an empty storage chest can house bed linens or guests’ clothing.

Den/playroom Children tend to accumulate toys and games. And as kids grow from children to young adults, their list of must-have items, from video gaming systems to other electronics , grows along with them.

Storage can make a room functional for both adults and children. Devote an entire wall to a closet or drawer system where toys can be stored out of sight when necessary. Storage ottomans can be used for extra seating while also providing

somewhere for homeowners to stash stuffed animals or games for easy access. When choosing furniture, look for fabrics that are resistant to stains and modular pieces that can be moved around as necessary to create room for playing or entertaining.

Bedroom/ home office In 2015, 24 percent of employed people in the United States did some or all of their work at home, says the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Bringing work home means men and women will need a space to work. In tight quarters, bedrooms may be the only available area. An armoirestyle desk will blend in with the decor and can hide paperwork and electronics behind doors.

Otherwise, a makeup vanity can serve the dual purpose of providing a place to get ready

for a night out and a ready space to house a laptop during the day.

In smaller homes, homeowners may be forced to turn rooms into dual purpose areas.

any people feel the dawn of a new year provides an opportunity to clean the slate and begin anew. That notion can be applied in various ways, including around the house.

Cleaning the slate at home may involve reducing clutter around the house. Clutter can gradually overtake a home’s interior, turning a once pristine home into one overwhelmed with nonessential items.

Clearing a home of clutter can seem like a monumental task, but the following tips can help homeowners and apartment dwellers make the year ahead clutter-free.

Scan important documents and save them on a computer. Some documents cannot be discarded, but that does not mean they have to be stored in bulky file cabinets or desk drawers. Scan important documents such as medical receipts or tax returns and save them on your computer where they won’t take up any physical space. Purchase an external hard drive as a safety net where you can store backups of important documents in case a computer crashes and cannot be rebooted.

Millwork can add appeal and a classic feel omeowners are discovering that architectural accents can go a long way toward improving both the look and value of their homes. When renovating a space, the term ‘millwork’ may be mentioned by designers and contractors.

While it might be a mystery to some, millwork can give rooms unique looks.

Millwork refers to items traditionally made from raw lumber in a sawmill. Examples of millwork include crown molding, base trims, door frames, window casings, chair rails, and paneling. Cabinets may also classify as millwork.

Used for both decoration and to increase the functionality of buildings, millwork comes in various types. Generally, millwork is fabricated in two ways. Stock millwork tends to be mass-produced commercial items. These low-cost items are interchangeable and may be widely available at retailers, including home improvement centers. Custom millwork is a product that is custom designed

H

and produced for individuals and special building projects.

Sometimes referred to as ‘architectural millwork,’ these pieces may be more ornate and made-to-order. Homeowners who want to match a focal point of a home or an existing style often turn to custom millwork.

Between the 15th and 18th centuries, ornate millwork was largely reserved for royalty or the very wealthy. Skilled carpenters would hand carve each piece, taking weeks to finish most projects. Eventually, millwork became more commonplace.

Distinguishing one property from another today could mean turning back to the more distinctive designs of the past.

Homeowners looking for ways to enhance their properties can embrace millwork to achieve a luxury feel without a sizable investment. The first step is to choose millwork that will coordinate with the era and style of a home’s existing decor.

Ornate millwork in an overly modern house may seem out of place. The millwork should match the architectural theme

of the home.

Although some do-ityourselfers can successfully install prefabricated millwork, for custom designs and a truly seamless look, it is important to have millwork professionally installed. Individuals should research carpenters who specialize in millwork and verify their license and reputation through a consumer protection agency.

Popular types of millwork include crown molding, corbels, wainscotting, and custom bookcases. Homeowners may not realize that millwork can be added to spaces of all sizes to give them an air of sophistication.

Although millwork was traditionally formed from hardwoods, eco-friendly homeowners can now find millwork crafted from synthetic materials and even reclaimed woods.

Millwork can add that special touch to the interior or exterior of a home. Learn more by visiting worldmillworkalliance. com.
