3-2-3 rail alternative endorsed Supervisors’ resolution leaves 2 tracks in place, allows 3 north and south

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

HANOVER -- The Hanover County Board of Supervisors’ cards are on the table regarding its position on a highspeed rail project from Washington, D.C., to Richmond.

At its regular meeting last Wednesday, the board passed a resolution endorsing a plan that, for now, leaves two tracks in place through the Town of Ashland, and allows three tracks both north and south of the municipality.

A Community Advisory Committee (CAC) recently included the 3-2-3 option in its list of “least objectionable� alternatives regarding routing of the proposed and yet unfunded project.

The CAC also listed a western bypass and three-track trench option in its recommendations to the Commonwealth Transportation Board that will make the final decision on alternative routes through the Ashland sector of the project.

MECHANICSVILLE – Despite a strong police presence and deputies with years of experience in narcotics, Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, acknowledges the opiate crisis, which he calls, “just really frustrating.�

Hines brought 15 years of law enforcement experience in narcotics to his office.

He and his staff track the numbers of heroin deaths in the county. In the 1980s and 1990s, he said, “Most of the heroin we were seeing on

the street was somewhere to about 5% to 7% heroin. If we saw heroin coming in that was 15% at that time, MCV (formerly Medical College of Virginia, now VCU Health Systems) was full of overdose victims.

Heroin we’re seeing right now is someMetro Creative Graphics where around 40%. You put on top of that the heroin that we’re seeing today is cut with fentanyl (100 times more powerful than heroin). Now they have a substance called carfentanyl that is 10,000 times more potent than mor-

Thaler recognized for work with Effective Ministries Inc. Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

NEWTON, Massachusetts – Michael Thaler, co-founder and managing partner of Equity Concepts in Richmond, won the 2017 Invest in Others Global Community Impact Award, one of seven awards presented on Sept.

28 at the 11th annual Invest in Others Awards Gala in New York City.

Thaler, a Hanover County resident, earned the honor for his charitable work with Effective Ministries Inc., which received a $20,000 donation from the Invest in Others Charitable Foundation.

He is an active member of the Mechanicsville Christian Center.

Hundreds of nominations were received for the Invest in Others Awards this year.

Winners were selected based on their leadership, dedication, contribution, inspiration, and impact on a nonprofit and the community it serves.

The Global Community Impact Award is presented annually to a financial advisor who has made a lasting impact on a community in another country by actively serving as a

volunteer for at least three years with a charity whose primary mission is to help those who live outside the United States.

Thaler was one of three national finalists for the award.

“The Invest in Others Awards showcases the selfless efforts of financial advisors to improve communities across the country and around the world. Michael Thaler has helped save and enrich the lives of Nigeriens through his vision, leadership, and dedication to Effective Ministries, continuously multiplying the organization’s impact across Niger.

Michael and the other advisors honored this year represent the very best of the financial services industry,” said Megan McAuley, executive director and president of Invest in Others.

Inspired by a mission trip to Niger, Africa, in 2001, Thaler founded Effective Ministries Inc. (EMI) in 2003 to improve the physical and spiritual lives of Nigeriens.

EMI works with multiple partner organizations to enact change in the following five focus areas: health, water, orphans, education see THALER, pg. 4 

County school board receives preliminary budget requests ASHLAND -- It’s never too early to begin budget discussions, and the Hanover County School Board got a jump on the process as it held its prebudget public hearing at last week’s meeting in Ashland.

Only one speaker took advantage of the opportunity to outline future budgetary goals before the board begins

3-2-3 Continued from pg. 1 

“One of the challenges is, given changing technology and transportation methods, it’s very difficult to predict when and if specific improvements in any sector of this corridor will be needed and even more difficult to predict when they may ever be funded,” Rives said.

“Of all the alternatives that were presented and discussed, the 3-2-3 option, that is retaining the two existing tracks through Ashland with some improvements … is the alternative that has less impact from its selection and less impact should it ever be built,” Rives concluded.

Beaverdam District Supervisor Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley and South Anna Supervisor Wayne Hazzard suggested and worked on the resolution and met with Ashland town officials to discuss the matter earlier in the week.

“I think this is a reasonable resolution and is something we can bank on so I’m going to move for approval of this resolution,” Stanley said.

Ashland supervisor Faye

formal work on the document later this year.

At its annual workshop session on Tuesday, Oct. 10, the board outlined its budgetary goals for the upcoming process.

Hanover Professional Educators (HPE) new president Bill Callahan told school board members that his members would be polled at a later date to assess specific issues

for this year’s budget, but presented a preliminary outline of his organization’s goals for the upcoming budget process that begins with a formal budget presentation in December.

Callahan said his concerns fall into three groups: class size, staffing and compensation.

During the past two years, Callahan acknowledged that secondary academic class sizes have been reduced, and urged

the board to continue the process of lowering class sizes and lightening teacher loads.

“We also ask you to examine elementary class sizes to see what reductions can be made at that level,” he said.

HPE also is requesting that special education teachers be restored to all collaborative classes. Students who are mainstreamed in those classes

Prichard thanked Hazzard and Stanley for their efforts, but could not support the resolution.

“I’m not going to be able to support the resolution because it is my job to represent the Town of Ashland and the Town of Ashland does not support the 3-2-3,” she said.

Prichard noted that projections estimate that, by 2045, the number of trains traveling through Ashland will double from its current 40 to 50 a day. Motorists spend a combined 12 hours a day waiting for trains in Ashland.

“I understand that this (resolution) takes away a lot of fear for a lot of people, but it does pose a long-term threat to the Town of Ashland,” Prichard said. “It certainly kicks the can down the road and certainly gives us opportunities to solve those problems in the Town of Ashland but those problems are very real.”

CSX has expressed concerns that a 3-2-3 alternative would not meet its future freight needs and could result in a bottleneck situation through the town.

Hazzard said the 3-2-3 option closely resembles the no build option in that two tracks will continue in use through Ashland

“for probably the next 20 years.”

“We don’t know whether the third track is ever going to be built north of us,” Hazzard said. “There are too many things that could be in the way like funding and everything else. What we’re saying is that at this point we don’t want you to do anything.”

Chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek said she felt it was appropriate for the board to take a stand on the controversial issue.

“Sometimes in the positions that we hold, it is incumbent on us to make tough decisions, and those decisions have con-

sequences for the residents and property owners of Hanover County” Kelly-Wiecek said.

She pointed to the number of variables surrounding the project and projections that could easily change with advancing technology or other improvements to the My Business” HomeHome is MyisBusiness” our“Your corridor.

She was determined to beat breast cancer

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor To see her today, you’d never know what she had been endured to become the survivor she is today. She has a newfound zest for life and is enjoying every minute she can with her family and friends. Her lustrous hair grew back.

She won a very frightening battle: She beat breast cancer.

As we all know, October is observed as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But how much time do any of us take to learn about this horrific disease that, as celebrity Julia Loius-Dreyfus said in revealing her own diagnosis, impacts one out of every eight women?

When I was 34, my gynecologist said he wanted me to have my first mammogram the next year.

I did and then it’s been every year since 40.

The friend who is the survivor was one of those women whose cancer was discovered dur-

ing a routine mammogram. She did have one the year before.

While it is still important to do self-exams, as my longtime gynecologist in West Virginia told me: “By the time you discover it (in a self-exam), it’s a lump; a mammogram can detect a pencil point (referring to size).”

I have repeated his quote many times to family members and friends who have avoided undergoing an imaging procedure that is lifesaving.

My friend never complained as she underwent chemotherapy and radiation. She would get the treatments heading into the weekend so she could confront the worst of the side effects at home.

She never let her fight with cancer interrupt her work schedule.

Yes, she is definitely one of the lucky ones because she didn’t hesitate when the time came to take on the “Big C.” Her determination was inspirational to all who know her.

Early detection is the key when it comes to cancer. If something doesn’t seem right, get to your doctor as soon as possible.

My mother will be a 40-year cancer survivor in January because she acted quickly. She had thyroid cancer and most of her thyroid was removed.

I found myself in a pre-cancerous situation a few years and acted quickly. Problem solved.

While I, like my friend, get a mammogram every year, I encourage women and men alike to be aware of prevention. Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate -- anyone can become a victim.

In closing, since next year will be my 10-year “anniversary,” be sure to get a colonoscopy when you reach the age of 50. Trust me, it’s worth the peace of mind.

While researchers continue to wage war on cancer, our diligence will make a huge difference in our own lives.

Disaster relief also can refer to the bond of helping

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

After four consecutive hurricanes and a deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas, our country is ready for some disaster relief.

I’m not talking emergency responses or federal assistance, but something more simple and basic.

The country could use a break from the constant stream of disaster news and pending doom, and some Americans are expressing a feeling of crisis fatigue.

Thankfully, the hurricane season is winding down, and, perhaps, Mother Nature is ready to aim her fury elsewhere, but there are no guarantees.

The natural disasters reminded us that crisis is just a weather forecast away, and things we thought were constant and safe can be taken in hours.

But, the real impact of the recent disasters lies in the goodwill of Americans who were willing to step up and help when a crisis arose. The government responses to the storms

were almost immediate, and first responders provided safety and security to thousands in peril during the disasters, but a flood of volunteers also provided immeasurable support to the victims.

The real relief, however, came in the form of neighbor helping neighsee DISASTER, pg. 8 

Here are some takeaways from the Oct. 3, 2017, planning public hearing: l The fact that enough development has been approved to provide a 1½% growth rate for the next eight years is going to be ignored.

A report says that the county hopes road money will be available in five years but they cannot be sure.

l The fact that our board of supervisors has known there was no money for roads for at least five years and took no action is ignored.

A report says that the county hopes road money will available in five years but they cannot be sure.

A report on other infrastructure (water and sewage) states that water and sewage are at are near capacity.

Millions will have to be spent on Capital Improvements.

All roads will have to include bike trails.

A Commercial Node is proposed for the Ellerson Garage intersection. In order to make this Node a commercial success, Beulah Church Road, Cold Harbor Road, Rock Hill Road, Crown Hill Road and Parsleys Mill Road will have to be developed. Cold Harbor is a target.

There is an all-out effort being made to “BEAT the PROFFERS.” Nothing is off limits.

HANOVER -- Thanks to the generosity of the Hanover County community, many local students started school this year with the tools they need to succeed.

The Hanover Youth Service Council’s (HYSC) 20th annual school supply drive collected over 16,000 school supplies by the time

man. Some made the ultimate sacrifice trying to save a fellow concert-goer, many of them unknown to each other until the last moments of their lives.

It’s easy to not recognize the goodness and kind acts that surround us each day, and it’s unfortunate it takes natural disasters or mass shootings to reconfirm our belief in the goodness of our fellow man.

Even with the timing, it’s a message that enables us to proceed with our lives following these disasters — the knowledge that there is someone there to lend a helping hand in our time of need.

It’s also important to note these acts of compassion and charity don’t just take place when tragedy occurs. They occur daily in little known episodes of our lives and seldom are recognized or acknowl-

the official drive ended on Aug. 23, and items continue to be donated.

The collected school supplies were distributed to all of Hanover County’s public schools.

edged.

That makes no difference to the majority of Americans who treat their fellow citizens with respect and dignity and are always first to offer aid when it’s needed. Their motivation for selfless service is not prompted by a need for recognition or a sense of selfachievement. It’s a basic belief that decency and good will are valuable, and bending to help someone in need is noble.

In the past few weeks we’ve seen the worst of circumstances confronting our nation, but we’ve also seen the best in the responses of our citizens and the sincerity of their response.

And that reflects the true greatness and resilience of a country that refuses to fold in the face of adversity, and never forgets its citizens in time of disaster or crisis.

HANOVER -- Hanover County will celebrate “America’s Recycles Day� with a special recycling event on Saturday, Nov. 18, between 8 a.m. and noon at the Mechanicsville Solid Waste Convenience Center on Verdi Lane in Mechanicsville.

In a period where fewer students are pursuing degrees in education, Callahan said it’s important to remain competitive. “Not only must Hanover compete with surrounding school divisions for the best teachers, but paying our hardworking teachers a decent salary is the morally right thing to do,� Callahan said.

He also requested additional benefits for the county’s bus drivers, who he said often leave

because of a lack of benefits.

Adding VRS retirement benefits for those employees also is a priority for HPE. Callahan said his organization would work with school officials to find savings to provide those vital benefits.

Formal budget presentations begin in December.

In other news, assistant superintendent for instruction Jennifer Greif introduced four new classes for the 20182019 schedule of classes for the

board’s consideration.

They include a patient care tech second level class, advanced placement Computer Science principles and Composition Theory, a writing lab where students assist other students.

Math 7/8 also is a new class that coordinates with new SOL (Stanards of Learning) requirements and is on the list of new classes.

The board approved all of those classes.

Tracy will be dearly missed.

Tracy worked at Bank of Virginia/Signet Bank/Capital One for almost 25 years.

Tracy started working there directly from high school.

Planners want residents’ input on zoning code

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local

ASHLAND -- In hopes of generating more interest among residents after a Thursday, Oct. 12, public hearing at Ashland Town Hall, action on a staff-proposed ordinance (ORD201702) recommending an update to the town’s residential zoning was deferred unanimously by the Ashland Planning Commission in a vote – with the public hearing being continued to the commission’s Wednesday, prior Nov. 8, meeting.

When the public hearing was opened, nobody took the floor to speak.

Commissioner Bob Flanagan, chairman, said

Library needs smart phones for project ASHLAND -- The Liberty Middle School library is in search of smart phones to use for a long-term project.

Minor cracked screens are fine to donate.

Those who have the charger are asked to donate it too.

“I would love to take your old phones off your hands and put them to good use in the library,” Kim McCallister, librarian, said.

For more information, contact McCallister at kmccallister@hcps.us.

he was disappointed with the scheduled hearing’s non-event, and stressed the importance of attending these public hearings because it’s an opportunity for the community to voice its own opinions, and provide feedback for the town to consider in the proposed ordinance to update Ashland’s residential zoning code.

Flanagan said he realized that members of the community may be waiting for the case’s advancement to Ashland Town Council before appearing at a public hearing.

Later in the meeting, two Ashland residents approached commissioners and gave their individual input and concerns after members had already brought the conversation back to the governmental body, but the public hearing had remained open if someone wanted the floor. “[That’s when] we’ve already got the zoning rules in place,” Flanagan said. see ZONING, pg. 24 

Trails, replacement playground top Parks and Rec discussions

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local

ASHLAND -- More discussion about trails in Ashland and a request for proposal (RFP) seeking designs to construct a replacement playground were two of the main items addressed at the Thursday, Oct. 12, regular session of the Ashland Parks and Recreation Committee.

Committee members previously had approved the October meeting location to be the picnic shelter at Carter Park at 1112 Maple St. in Ashland.

Giving the updates to committee members, was Clerk of Council Joseph Collins, who also serves as the town’s parks

and recreation coordinator.

Collins said the town engineer and Public Works Departments are working on a trail connection that would connect Early Street and Stony Run Trail.

This trail connection has not been approved for construction yet by Ashland Town Council. Collins said it should come before town council soon.

“Part of that connection will be sidewalk and part of it will be trail,” Collins said.

He also said “it won’t necessarily be connected to another trail, but it will be connected to the sidewalk on South Center Street, and will make it a lot easier to get from the trail to Carter Park, and from Carter Park to Stony Run Trail.”

Committee member Cedar Reiner has expressed a lot of interest in bringing that connection together.

On Friday, Oct. 13, Collins said he noted how the town isn’t working on any of these trails currently in terms of construction, but they are studying them very closely to develop a

priority list.

“We are trying to prioritize what we believe should be completed first,” he said.

While he doesn’t have a timeline, he said he’s hopeful in their development of at least a formal draft RFP that will be made public as soon as confirmed.

In other news, an RFP is being drafted by town staff in the Parks and Recreation Department to request approval to seek out designs for a new playground to replace the existing one at Carter Park.

There also are plans in place to construct a new snack bar at Carter Park Pool.

Madison Dehais and Ryan Allen, two students from Patrick Henry High School, attended the meeting as part of an assignment for a government class, and they helped provide input on the conversation surrounding the playgrounds designs.

Emotions run high at public meeting on rail

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Ashland area residents packed the auditorium at Patrick Henry High School last Wednesday to take full advantage of a public hearing regarding a proposed high speed rail project from Washington, D.C., to Richmond.

The Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) has scheduled a series of public hearings to gather public input on its issuance of a draft Environmental Impact Study outlining the project.

Following the review and public hearings, the analysis will move forward to the Federal Railway Administration for final review and approval. Officials estimate the project’s construction could be decades down the road.

The DRPT issued the draft

EIS minus a recommendation for the Ashland portion of the project as the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CBT) considers options for that stretch of track.

They must choose between a western bypass alternative that requires the condemnation of more than 20 homes, a third rail trench that allows trains to travel through Ashland in a partially covered arrangement, or a third rail both above and below Ashland on the route but maintaining two rails through the town.

Hours before the hearing began, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors drafted and passed a resolution stating the county’s position favoring the 3-2-3 approach, citing its lessened impacts on the community. While the other two options will impact businesses and landowners almost immediately, the 3-2-3 alternative

leaves time for further consideration and builds portions of the project based on need.

Many are hoping that need never comes.

South Anna District Supervisor Wayne Hazzard noted that technological advances like the installation of positive train control could increase efficiency along the corridor, making it impossible to judge when and if improvements would be needed in the Ashland sector.

Most speakers said none of the options were acceptable, but acknowledged just the discussion of the issue has divided the community pitting neigh-

bor against neighbor.

Ashland mayor Jim Foley relayed his consistent message of opposition to a third rail

through Ashland, and said a last-minute third rail trench through town would cause “generational� destruction to

its business community.

He expressed support for the western bypass option, a see RAIL, pg. 21 ď ˝

position that many speakers took issue, especially those in the path of the proposed western bypass alternative.

Speakers who live in the proposed eight-mile stretch of the western bypass expressed betrayal at the town’s willingness to endorse a route that disrupts their lives and leaves the town untouched. Many also expressed displeasure with the town’s effort to rally support for the western bypass with a website called Save Downtown Ashland, http:// www.savedowntownashland. org/.

“Tonight I want to address the Ashland community,” said Ellen Papoulakos. “What you are trying to do to your neighbor is immoral. Instead of taking the heat and finding solutions … you turn to your neighbors who never wanted to live near the tracks, who never wanted to take the risk.

Find an Ashland solution to an Ashland problem.”

phine.”

The heroin/fentanyl/ carfentanyl combination is, Hines said, “why we’re having the overdoses and the deaths that are associated with those overdoses. But, because we’re talking about opiates, when you are purchasing heroin on the street you do not know what you’re purchasing, you have no idea. And that’s why we’re seeing people dying because you cannot ingest fentanyl and carfentyal with heroin and not overdose and in many cases not die.”

Efforts to educate those who choose to use heroin and add fentanyl and carfentanyl continue, but, as the sheriff added, “Everybody’s talking about it and yet we still have people that are smok-

ing, snorting and injecting this type of substance. This is what’s happening with the overdoses and the deaths that are associated with them.”

As the purity in heroin increased, he said there were those users who said they would smoke it, snort it, “but I’ll never inject it.”

“That same person that said they would never inject heroin is injecting 47% heroin with fentanyl and they’re overdosing.”

Hanover County has seen 40 overdoses this year, with six confirmed deaths. Of those 40, Hines said 30 were county residents and 10 were from outside the jurisdiction.

“Our breakdown on it is 59% of white males, 14% black males, 28% white females.

Our drug arrests are up by 29% year to date over last year’s numbers. Even though

our drug arrests are up, this is not something we can arrest our way out of it,” the sheriff continued.

“I’ve said this for years and I will continue to say we cannot arrest our way out of a drug problem,” Hines said.

“If we could arrest our way out of this, we wouldn’t have a problem today, but it’s not just a law enforcement issue. Law enforcement plays a large role in this – there always has to be consequences, illegal distribution, illegal use, there has to be consequences.”

As Hines and his officers focus on dealing with decreasing and eliminating the drug problem, he pointed out the educational and preventive side, as well as the treatment side. “And we as a society have to understand that we’re going to have all of these in place if in fact we’re going to be seri-

ous about attacking the drug issue.”

He was emphatic in saying he is “tired of people talking about it; we have got to stop talking and we have to start putting things in place. We need to look at our statutes and particularly for a first offender and we need to find a method that when these people are first brought before the courts that we can force them into treatment.”

“I keep hearing lawmakers and professionals say that the drug problem is a mental health issue; then we need to start treating it like a mental health issue. Even if addiction is a mental health issue, it started, in some cases, with a poor decision and I’ve heard the arguments of overprescribing opiate medication

They want us to Others cited increased safety choose between destroying our

historic town or our historic farms. There is another choice -- to say no.”

Tom Wolfe of Ashland Main Street Association said a third rail through the town would result in an “economic death spiral” that could result in lowered tax revenues and decreased services.

Mike Martin, who lives on Center Street in Ashland, said the impact of a third rail through the town would be devastating. “Construction of a third track or trench downtown would destroy Ashland,” he said. “These impacts would soon extend well beyond Center Street and ripple through all of Ashland.”

Hanover County Attorney Sterling Rives outlined the supervisors’ recently passed resolution supporting the 3-2-3 option and rejecting both the western bypass alternative and the third rail options.

While the other options have immediate negative impacts, the 3-2-3 approach has the least affect on property owners or businesses in the

town.

Randolph-Macon College and Del. Buddy Fowler, R-55, endorsed the county’s position supporting the 3-2-3 alternative.

“We tried to speak with Ashland officials to get them on board, but they could not support the 3-2-3. I understand their position,” Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District representative on the

board of supervisors, said after the meeting.

The CTB will choose from the list of alternatives at its meeting in December, and the EIS will be forwarded to the FRA for final consideration.

The DRPT and the FRA have scheduled a series of public hearings throughout the statement during the 60-day comment period.

Tuesdays

The Hanover Concert Band rehearses from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. every Tuesday, mid-January through mid December, at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center at 500 S. Railroad Ave. in Ashland, just south of U.S. 54.

Membership is open to anyone who can read music and play a non-string instrument. High see CALENDAR, pg. 27 

OPIOID Continued from pg. 21 ď‚€

and that has been an issue but it’s not the only issue. “Yes, there have been some individuals that have become addicted to heroin because of the over-prescription of opioids, but I would dare say that that’s not the majority,� Hines added. “What we’ve seen is and what it appears is that many of the overdoses we’re dealing with today and many of the heroin users that we’re dealing with started with other illicit drugs prior to their use of heroin.�

The hines sheriff said Hanover County has an advantage due to the partnership the Pamunkey Regional Jail has with the McShin Foundation. He said, “All the professionals that I’ve spoken with have talked about the best time to talk to a person about an addiction is in the very beginning of their addiction lifestyle. We need to find a way, whether it’s legislatively, whether a change in the statute when law enforcement comes in contact with that first offender who is an opiate addict to get them into treatment and if that treatment is forced treatment in the jail then so be it.�

When looking at the drug issues in the country, Hines said, “If they haven’t already been declared a threat to national security they should be. As the sheriff in Hanover, I feel safe in telling you that the majority of our property crimes, the majority of our robberies, all have their roots in the drug addiction.�

Having been in law

enforcement for 34 years, he said he knew of one instance where a man was stealing to feed his family. “The others I’ve dealt with, that I’m familiar with, have been robbing or stealing to support an addiction.�

He said he was once told that fighting crime was expensive, and that the least expensive method was to prevent crime. “And that’s been our philosophy in Hanover is we work on a philosophy of prevention, partnering with our community towards that effort. I have to believe that treating drug addiction is an expensive proposition and again prevention would be the least expensive route. We as a nation are going to have to face the reality that if we’re going to impact our drug issues today it’s going to be through prevention, treatment and accountability with arrest.�

He said appropriate funding also is an issue in the war on drugs.

Change is needed too. “We’re going to have to be willing to change some of our philosophies on treatment and how we get people into treatment,� Hines said. “If you call me or you call the police and you say my loved one is in a mental crisis and is harming themselves, we have the authority as law enforcement to do what is called an emergency custody order and then to seek a temporary detention order to get this person in front of a mental health official and to get them help – forced help.

But if you call me or if you call the police and tell us that your child or your loved one is killing themselves with heroin my only alternative to get them help is through arrest. “So if we’re going to call drug addiction a mental health issue, then it’s high time that someone starts treating it as a mental health issue. I’ve grown tired of the conversation and the talk that we’re going to do something about it and we’re

not. There has to be change -- because this is not just a law enforcement issue.�

His frustration came through when he talked about cities considering implementing “safe zones where you can safely inject and use heroin where medical personnel are available in case you overdose.

The Chinese fought a war in the 1850s called the Opium Wars because they understood the dangers that opium played within their society and they fought two wars over this. If this was a city looking to do this, why don’t we just open up opium dens?�

The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and Hanover County Public Schools have joined in presenting drug forums since the late 1990s.

The emphasis is placed on citizen input, professional input and student input.

Hines offered the following ideas on defeating the opioid problem: m We need to change our first offender statute in order to force people into drug treatment. m We need to keep accountability high for those persons convicted of selling illegal narcotics. m We need to have accountability for those that are using narcotics and are victimizing our community. m We need to better fund prevention and treatment options. m We need to look at public/private partnerships in order to save funding for treatment options.

Hines said as he looks ahead he is determined for his office to continue to address community and school organizations about the dangers of drug use and efforts to safeguard the county. Partnerships remain a key component of his department’s goals – even in a nation plagued by opioid abuse.

The sheriff said they are committed to winning the fight.

Applications accepted for Christmas parade MECHANICSVILLE – Applications are now being taken for the Mechanicsville Rotary/Ruritan Christmas Parade, which will kick off at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3, in the

they make them heard early on and during the middle stages of the process.

“This is the part of the job where you can get the work done – and can actually set forth what is coming … The discussion needs to be held now, not then,” the chairman

continued.

Garet Prior, senior planner for the Town of Ashland’s Planning and Community Development Department, gave the presentation on the proposed ordinance for the zoning update to commissioners.

Prior has been directly involved in the development of this residential zoning update, its overall planning and creation of the draft proposal, which recommends amendments to the current zoning ordinance and is guided by the town’s comprehensive plan.

The residential zoning update substantially rewrites all residential zoning districts within the Town of Ashland’s corporate limits, according to the currently drafted proposal, the first paragraph of which states: “Citizens are encouraged to obtain a complete copy for full information.”

Town staff ’s proposed ordinance would amend the current “Ashland Town Code, Chapter 21, ‘Zoning.’” Chapter 21 of Town Code details Ashland’s existing current code on zoning, while ORD1702 details comments made by staff on items proposed to amend, which are outlined in red text and can be found on the town government’s web-

site at www.town.ashland. va.us/89/Town-Meetings.

Once on that web page, those who are interested in learning more can open the agenda for the Oct. 12 regular meeting and public hearing of the Ashland Planning Commission – and there, folks can open a link giving them access to the Planning Commission packet of the staff report pertaining to ORD1702.

During an interview with Prior on Monday, Oct. 9, he said that, when considering this proposal, the town must first ask itself a question: Are the rules being used in the independent town’s current zoning regulations enough, if Ashland someday develops out, to meet the goals of what the town wants met?

“Currently the thought is that this more traditional term of zoning is [this],” Prior started to explain, continuing with an example of how the current zoning code operates, saying, “you’ve got a [group] of apartments – we need to buffer them, and set them back farther from the road to sort of isolate them.”

Prior said one of his passions when it comes to planning and government work is de-coding the confusing language embedded in regu-

lations to make it easier for people to accept and get their minds around it.

“A major purpose of the zoning update is to break that behavior away, making more multi-family developments integrated into our neighborhoods,” he said, referring to the behavior of isolating apartment buildings.

Prior also wanted to clarify how town staff ’s proposed ordinance isn’t retroactive; it only applies to future redevelopments going forward.

The senior planner explained how some people can become confused about this, and thus, “Freaked out”, but assured it was not the case.

“I think we’re very much at the start of this process, as far as a lot of the vetting and investigation that we do with the Planning Commission [goes],” Prior said with excitement.

“But it’s definitely not a finished product. It’s one that I think through public hearings and people going down [to town hall] and asking questions … we’ll get it to a point where it’ll be [before council members].”

Prior said he was hopeful that they could advance the case to the Ashland Town Council for a final action to be decided on it within the next four to six months.

Anyone who has questions or comments can contact Prior by email at gprior@ashlandva.gov. Further information regarding the residential zoning update in Ashland can be found by visiting the town’s “Zoning Update Webpage” at http://garetprior.wixsite.com/ cotu16/zoningexplained.

O-Line clears path to Confederate victory

By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – The Lee-Davis offensive line was the star of the Confederates’ visit to Atlee Friday night, controlling the line of scrimmage from start to finish and allowing for a big night from running back Josh Rice and the rest of the Confederates’ rushing attack in a 48-21 victory over the rival Raiders.

Rice finished the game with 29 carries for 212 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

“The offensive line was dominant tonight” Rice said. “They made it easy for me. Some of those holes were big enough to drive a truck through.”

Confederates’ coach Ryan Turnage, who takes additional pride in the unit as he coaches them personally, agreed with Rice’s praise.

“We made some adjustments to hold our blocks a little longer” Turnage said. “The kids listened and played really well.”

Lee-Davis took their opening drive right down the field, running straight at the Atlee defense. Zach Lass capped the six play, 80-yard drive – punctuated by a 57-yard run by Rice – with a quarterback sneak to get the scoring started.

While the ground game was the centerpiece of the Confederates’ game plan, they were efficient with the pass

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Lee-Davis linemen Jalen Hargrove (87), Damien Crawley (52) and Jeb Boswell (63) open up a big hole for running back Josh Rice (5) in the Confederates’ 48-21 victory over host Atlee Friday. Rice finished with 212 yards and three touchdowns.

as well. Lass took the air six times, completing half of those attempts for a total of 97 yards and two touchdowns.

Over half of Lass’s total passing yards came on a quick strike from near midfield. Lass found tight end Jalen Hargrove over the middle. Hargrove went untouched the rest of the way to

the end zone. The score gave the Confederates an early 13-0 lead with three minutes remaining in the first quarter.

The Raiders would answer with a long touchdown pass of their own. Quarterback Tyler Warren hit receiver Cameron Foreman up the left hash mark for a 63-yard touchdown to

bring Atlee within six points of Lee-Davis.

The Confederates’ offense then went on a methodical 12-play drive. Helped by the play of their offensive line, Lass finished the drive on a playaction fake, rolling to his right and finding Ned Anthony in the end zone. The ball was placed

perfectly, just out of the reach of the Atlee defender and putting the Confederates back up by two touchdowns.

For the second straight time, the Atlee offense answered to keep the game close. A few quick passes and a Lee-Davis personal foul brought the Raiders just outside the red

The Mechanicsville Local

zone. Warren then capped the drive with his first of two rushing touchdowns, this one going for 25 yards straight up the middle.

The Warren touchdown helped energize the Atlee crowd as the Raiders entered halftime trailing by just 20-14.

This would be as close as the Raiders would get. Halftime adjustments made by Lee-Davis proved to be too much for Atlee to handle. The Confederates’ next three offensive possessions all ended in Josh Rice touchdown runs. “[Atlee] had no answers for us up front” Rice said. “They couldn’t stop us.”

The Lee-Davis defense also answered coach Turnage’s call in the second half. The unit gave up only 37 yards in the final two quarters and forced a turnover.

“The defense played solid when we needed stops.”

Turnage said.

The big win not only returns the “Stew Bowl” trophy to East Hanover, but it also gives the Confederates some much needed momentum going into what will be a very tough stretch of the season. Their final three opponents all have winning records at this point in the season.

“You want to hit your peak when it starts to matter” see O-LINE, pg. 30

Patrick Henry recovers to hold off Hanover batic Tyler Elrod run, and this time Rankin converted the twopoint conversion to keep the Hawks’ hopes alive. But Patrick Henry’s Brandon Sullivan smothered the onside kick to seal the game.

By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – While Patrick Henry kept shooting itself in the foot on its decisive fourthquarter drive, at least coach Keith Braxton never had to put his punt team back on the field.

Two punt-related mishaps led to two Hanover touchdowns and a narrow fourth-quarter lead for the Patriots in a game they led comfortably at the half.

But late touchdown runs from Hunter Hart and Alex Sikkar gave Patrick Henry the breathing room it needed in a 28-20 homecoming victory Friday night that ended a three-game losing streak.

“It’s been tough the last month,” Braxton said. “We challenged them this week and they responded.”

Hart ran for 172 yards and two touchdowns to lead a potent Patrick Henry rushing attack.

The Patriots (4-3) rang up 379 yards on the ground, and Hart and Terrance Oxendine staked them to a 14-0 halftime lead with long touchdown runs.

They held that lead until late in the third quarter, when the Hawks got a short field after a snap sailed over Patrick Henry punter Maurice Fountain’s head.

Five plays later, Eric Rankin bulled in from four yards out to cut the lead to 14-6.

Patrick Henry’s punting troubles continued on the next possession, when Hanover’s Parker Chenault nearly took the ball off Fountain’s foot before returning it 27 yards for a touchdown. As was the case on their previous score, the Hawks (1-6) went for the twopoint conversion and didn’t get it, leaving them down 14-12 with nearly a full quarter left to score again.

For the Atlee Raiders, a trip to this year’s playoffs is unlikely.

The team will look to develop its young but talented roster in the weeks ahead and try to end its season on a high note.

Hubbard’s strong finish earns state golf title

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor HARRISONBURG – King William sophomore Taylor Hubbard began the second day of the Virginia High School League Class 2 state golf championships Tuesday in a tie for second place, two strokes behind East Rockingham’s Alex Czerwinski. Early on the back nine at Heritage Oaks Golf Course, it looked like Hubbard’s chances of overtaking Czerwinski were slipping away.

But, starting with the 14th hole, Hubbard settled down, turning mistakes into pars and pars into birdies, and he closed his day by sinking a 25-foot birdie putt to win the state championship Tuesday.

“That tee shot I hit off 18 was crazy. It’s probably the worst shot I’ve hit this golf season.

I’m just happy I didn’t shank it, to be honest,” Hubbard said.

“But then the shot after that was great. The shot after that was great. And then I made the putt.

That’s the first [long] putt I’ve made this state championship, and it couldn’t have happened at a better time.”

He felt something special was happening as he walked up to the 18th green with King William head golf coach Jay Blanton.

“I said, ‘Blanton, I’m making this putt.’ He said, ‘Taylor, lag it up close.’ I said, ‘I’m making

“I was hoping to make top six. … There wasn’t really anything to look forward to. The back nine is difficult,” Hubbard said of his low point mid-way through the final round. “Alex [Czerwinski] … he’s one of the best I’ve ever met – great guy … great competitor.

“They ran well today, real well. It’s great to see that,” Atlee head coach Tyler Busch said of his team.

The Raiders ran well in a pack, especially on the boys side – in which a large group of finishers from a number of teams came in at the front together.

“It was tough passing today,” Busch said.

By Wayne Epps Jr. Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – A fter finishing first in the boys varsity “A” race at Saturday’s MileStat.com Invitational at Pole Green Park, Cosby senior Grant Northcutt hugged his sister, Rachel. Rachel, a junior at Cosby, has also been a standout in cross country. She’s the twotime defending All-Metro girls cross country runner of the year and has won the past two girls varsity “A” titles at the MileStat. com Invitational.

On Saturday, Grant got one of his own.

“Going down the final straightaway, I was thinking like, this is kind of what Rachel’s experienced the past two years,” Grant said. “So it was kind of cool to have that same thing.”

Grant’s winning time was 15:19, which is a new personal record. He bested his previous PR of 15:21, which he set at last year’s MileStat.com Invitational when he placed seventh.

Rachel has been out this season with what Cosby coach Chris Averill termed a back/ hip pointer and didn’t compete Saturday. And Grant has had to deal with his own health issues.

He suffered a hip injury at the end of last cross country season.

It forced him to miss the state meet and also the indoor and outdoor track seasons.

His first race back was last month’s Pole Green Classic. He said he had a lot of motivation coming into this year. His goal to start the season was to prove to himself and to others what he can do.

“So, that’s kind of what I’ve been driving on throughout the whole season,” Northcutt said.

Averill said that Grant has gotten better through each race this season. He ran a 16:06 at the Pole Green Classic. The next week, at the adidas XC

On Sept. 30 at the Octoberfest Invitational, he finished with a 15:25. And he followed that with Saturday’s 15:19.

“And his window of doubt has shortened,” Averill said.

“And so, this is big.”

Among area runners, Deep Run senior Zachary Levet (seventh, 15:38), Douglas Freeman senior Ryan McCracken (eighth, 15:39) and Glen Allen junior Ali Ibrahim (ninth, 15:45) also cracked the top 10 in the boys varsity “A” race.

“I thought it went pretty good,” Lee-Davis head coach Neil Mathews said of his team’s performance. “Some of our kids

looked a little tired. We raced a lot recently, three weekends in a row, but I thought we ran well.

Our young guys and young girls did a real nice job today, so that was exciting. It’s always good to get a good shot in the arm from the young kids. It shows everybody that the work we’re doing will pay off.”

Patrick Henry’s Noah Campbell finished 13th in the varsity “A” race.

In the girls varsity “A” race, South Lakes senior Olivia Beckner won with a 17:30.

Patrick Henry resists Lee-Davis challenge

By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – When the Patrick Henry boys volleyball team is playing at its best, head coach Michael Townsend is not sure the team can be beaten.

“We walk into the gym every night thinking we’re going to win this game, knowing were going to win this game,” Townsend said.

On Tuesday night, the Patriots played their best, at times – enough to continue its undefeated season. Patrick Henry (14-0) rolled in two sets and made a comeback in another to defeat rival LeeDavis (10-3) in four sets; 25-19, 25-27, 25-9, 25-18 on senior night.

“They (Patrick Henry) don’t have a weakness,” said LeeDavis head coach Nick Brown.

“There was a lot of energy in the building, which added to it, but they’re just a good team, solid all the way around.”

Patrick Henry controlled the action in the first and third sets, using well placed serves and good defense and taking advantage of some spotty passing by Lee-Davis to jump out to double-digit leads. The Patriots were able to effectively transition from defense to offense in both sets, leading to easy points. Leading that defensive effort was Connor Logan, who recorded 42 digs in the match.

“The guys dug deep. Games one and three, we got our serves in and we started digging and blocking everything,” Townsend said. “[Lee-Davis is] probably one of, if not the best offensive team we’re going to face this year and the fact that we played defense that well is looking pretty promising for the next couple weeks.”

Lee-Davis trailed 24-19 in the second set before coming

However, the Patriots closed the game on a 15-3 run after some words of encouragement from Townsend.

“We were playing really fast, which really isn’t our game when it comes to passing,” he said. “I told the boys to slow it down, pass the ball high and let the offense develop itself, and that’s what we did.”

Jaxon Delgado led Patrick Henry with 15 kills, four blocks and three aces while Jarrett Carrano recorded 12 kills, nine digs and four blocks. Joseph Lane had 46 assists in the victory.

Across the county, Atlee swept Hanover in a highly contested battle; 25-23, 29-27, 26-24. Mason Ellenberger led the Atlee attack with 13 kills and 16 digs while Blake O’Donnell added nine kills and nine digs and Michael Norris recorded 34 assists. For Hanover, Turner Cole had 14 kills, 11 digs and five assists, Conner Askew recorded eight digs and seven atrickNick Liberante for The Local kills and Brendan English had Patrick Henry’s C.W.
