STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Supervisors defer action on 2 project applications Hickory Hill and Horseshoe Road put on hold for now By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — Although the deferral of pending projects or applications are not unusual occurrences at Hanover County Board of Supervisors meetings, one request received more attention than usual at last Wednesday’s meeting. The supervisors deferred action on two pending applications, both of which have received a fair amount of input from the public. A mixed use development planned for Hickory Hill and approval of a recreation events venue near Patrick Henry High School were deferred until the board’s January meeting. Both projects are located in the Beaverdam District represented by Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley who opened last week’s meeting by requesting the pair of deferrals. Stanley also serves as the board chair. While supervisors quickly deferred the Hickory Hill request until January, they were less anxious to defer the event venue request. “It might be beneficial to hear this case tonight. It’s been going on for quite some time,” said South Anna District supervisor Sue Dibble, while noting that board members had

received more than 100 pages of documents for review regarding the case. Dibble also said it would be helpful to hear from the applicant as well as the opposition “so that all of us are up to speed on this particular case.” The applicant originally requested a conditional use permit that would allow three barns on the property located near Horseshoe Bridge Road to be used for weddings and other similar DIBBLE events, but amended the application that indicates the venue will be used for company meetings, baby or bridal showers, church meetings or birthday parties, but not weddings. At a community meeting held earlier this year, several issues were raised, including the impact of a business on residential neighbors and their property values.

Five sworn in as Hanover County CASA volunteers

ANOVER -- Hanover County’s newest class of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) was sworn in on Nov. 13 by Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge Shannon O. Hoehl. The newest CASA members are Jenna Coyle, Amber Faniel, Elizabeth Rafferty, Linda Tyler and Josie Voorhies. CASA volunteers advocate for the interests of abused and neglected children who are involved in cases being heard by the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Last year, 35 children were served by volunteers who contributed nearly 1,178 hours of service to the youth served by the program. “It literally is the first report I look at when I review one of these cases,” Judge Hoehl told the graduates, who added the CASA reports make it “much easier for me to understand what is going on in the life of the child you are serving.” The volunteers also were thanked by John A. Budesky, County Administrator, and Melanie Baker, CASA program coordinator. “Hanover CASA exists to be a voice for abused and neglected children in court, to educate the community on child welfare issues, and to advocate for safe and permanent homes for all children,” Budesky said. “I, along with my colleagues in the County Administrator’s Office as well as the [Hanover County] Board of Supervisors, support and

endorse the Hanover County CASA Program. Congratulations to our new CASA training class on your achievement and your dedication to the children of Hanover County.” Baker noted that COVID-19 changed the manner in which the graduates were trained this year and expressed gratitude for their willingness to serve during a global pandemic. “Our traditional in-person training was postponed to transition all of the training materials to an online format,” she said. “We all then became experts in navigating both Google Classroom and Zoom. They showed up every week for three hours at a time as well as an all day Saturday training for approximately 40 hours to sit in front of their computers to become Court Appointed Special Advocates.” “Through all of the training all five of these citizens showed patience, understanding, flexibility, dedication, concern, and a willingness to learn – all great qualities for a Court Appointed Special Advocate,” Baker said. “I am very grateful to them as they have shown me such grace in traversing through these unprecedented times.” For more information about Hanover’s CASA program, call Melanie Baker, coordinator, at 804-365-4296 or e-mail her at mdbaker@hanovercounty.gov.

“We wanted to find a way to make marriage licenses easily available, since they are of great interest to genealogists,” said Hargrove. “Chief Deputy Clerk Jan Major suggested loading high resolution digital copies into the records management system searchable database so copies could be printed without disturbing the fragile originals.

In three years, Eddleton processed 70 years of licenses dating to 1930, while keeping up her daily work. After Eddleton’s retirement in 2019, part-time clerk’s office employees Diana Sadler and Cheryl Harris indexed and scanned licenses issued between 1864 and 1930.

Sadler and Harris flattened the tri-folded licenses and mended them using special tape before they were scanned. Now copies of the licenses can be printed from the digital images, saving the originals from further damage. “When we conserved the licenses from the 1800s and early 1900s, we were surprised to find that some were filed with a letter from a parent or an acquaintance vouching for the parties’ ages or granting

The low number of licenses issued in the months immediately after the surrender at Appomattox in April 1865 suggests that clerk’s office operations were disrupted at the war’s end. By September 1865, five months after the war ended, the clerk’s office seems to have gotten back to business as usual as six licenses were issued in that month. One of the licenses was issued to 59-year-old Thomas Harris and 45-yearold Charlotte Coy, who may be the first African American couple to obtain a marriage license in Hanover County. “The clerk’s office will

Some of the letters contained touching personal information about the applicants” said Hargrove. “We scanned the letters along with the licenses.” Many clerk’s office records were destroyed during the Civil War by fire or vandalism. Only one marriage license issued before the war ended in April 1865 survived the war. That license issued in 1864 has a letter written on the reverse side by a Union soldier during the Battle of Cold Harbor that starts, “In The Rifle Pits before Richmond June 9th 1864”. The writer says, “I took it from Hanover C. H. while we were skirmishing with the Rebs.”

From the managing editor

We still have so much to be thankful for By Melody Kinser Managing Editor eing thankful during a pandemic may seem a bit odd, but we, as Americans, have much to be thankful for every day that the Good Lord gives us. Yes, celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow will be different than the turkey and trimmings holiday of the past. But, those of us who have not lost loved ones to the coronavirus (COVID-19) are blessed. I find myself doubly blessed by not having had any family member or loved one battle the dreadful virus. Sadly, the friend’s husband I wrote about a few weeks ago did lose his month-long fight. Linda was only able to see him twice during that period. She was allowed to visit him for about an hour after he had been heavily sedated. It seems to be common that COVID patients become combative. Larry was a big man and had

to be sedated and put on the ventilator. The next visit was that call to rush to the hospital to say “Goodbye”. Linda is struggling with the loss of her great love. But, as is often the case, the Lord works in mysterious ways. He had placed a great-granddaughter in their arms for them to raise. Willow has given Linda the purpose she desperately needs as the holidays approach. As for tomorrow, most of us will be in small groups (if you can even use the word group) for all the Thanksgiving “fixins”. There will probably be plenty of Zoom and FaceTime greetings taking place among family members. Being separated beats the alternative in this situation. This is where we have to turn to our faith and look ahead with optimism that a vaccine will be developed and proven to be effective in eradicating this horrible virus.

For you and your families, I wish you all the best for Thanksgiving 2020. Despite the cracks in our nation at this time, we’re still the greatest country in the world. And I am a glass half full person when it comes to positive thinking and what our future, as well as that of the younger generations, has in store. While close contact isn’t advised, if you have some leftovers you’d like to share, I’m sure there are shelters and areas where the homeless would greatly appreciate a Thanksgiving meal. Should you venture out, remember to wear the mask and gloves. This isn’t a political statement; this is simply about safety. Yes, this will be a unique holiday, but if you are with loved ones -- in person or by technology -- tell them you love them. And while you’re at it, say a prayer for next year. Happy Thanksgiving!

Resident asks that solar facility be built elsewhere (Editor’s note: The following was addressed to “Dear Hanover Supervisors”.) I write you today with great concern. It recently was brought to my attention and neighboring adjacent property owners in Montpelier of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP2020-00017) application by Stephanie Ballard and Rainbow Trout Solar Partners, LLC for a Solar Facility to be located at Old Mill Road and Saint Peters Church Road. This parcel is directly across the street from my homestead. Please know that we are not against solar or any other green systems. We each purchased our properties in an effort to support the local agriculture and the local community. We are animal owners, farmers and citizens who maintain land/ecological friendly habits while enjoying the absolute serenity of each of our properties. As residents with a common interest in our community, ecology and agricultural future we feel that this “facility” has no business being installed in an A-1 zone. Hanover County’s Land Use Code Under Section 26-17, Hanover County defines the purpose of A-1 agriculture land as: “The purpose of this district is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural land, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectionable, hazardous, and unsightly uses. The district is also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas, and scenic values, and at the same time to provide for spacious residential development for those who choose this environment and to prevent untimely scattering of more dense urban uses which should be confined see LETTERS, pg. 8

globe search for a cure for a disease that shows no compassion or mercy for the people it affects. For the past 10 years or so, we’ve spent this fall weekend celebrating with Goochland’s varsity football team on Coach to Cure weekend. The cold, sometimes rainy nights at the stadium are memories no one in my family will forget, especially my son Jack who suffers from Duchenne. As I reflected on the many years of great memories associated with Coach to Cure and the Goochland Bulldogs, I thought back to those first events organized shortly after Jack’s diagnosis. Things were different in those days. I recall a small boy who at first was intimidated by a bunch of giant athletes

who liked to whoop it up. I remember the first time he let go of my hand to accompany his teammates to midfield for the toss. He stubbornly clung to my hand as the players extended theirs for the short walk. Jack didn’t want to let go. The players noticed Jack’s hesitancy and the look of dismay on my face as the officials waited patiently. As one of the players knelt beside Jack and spoke with him, another looked at me and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Ridolphi, we’ll take care of him.” I let go and stood on the sideline as the group walked away — four giant football players with one tiny boy with the number one on the back of his jersey extending well past his knees. I never worried again in the many years that followed, and, in fact, the Goochland players have always taken care

of Jack, handling him with care as his condition worsened over the years. And when he could no longer walk with his teammates, they grabbed his wheelchair and rolled with him to begin the game. It’s the kind of display that brings tears to a parent’s eye, watching a team of good kids and great athletes reaching out to help a child that will never carry the ball or score a touchdown. Truth be known, mine aren’t the only tears I've noticed on these special nights, and it’s often the comments of Jack’s teammates that mean the most to me. Throughout the years, hundreds of Goochland players have dedicated a small part of their experience with Jack and displayed a sense of kindness and compassion that my family won’t soon forget. I suppose I didn’t appreci-

ate fully the commitment contained in that simple statement made by a player to reassure a parent at that first Coach to Cure event, but looking back, it’s something that Goochland players and coaches have done for more than a decade: take care of Jack. So, on this Coach to Cure weekend when the field at Goochland is dark, it’s important to recognize the special people who make this event special for many reasons. They are my heroes. Hopefully, they’ll be back on the field soon accompanied by a kid in a wheelchair with a #1 on the back of a jersey that is still too big. It’s what I call a winning combination. Again, my thanks to all who make this event possible in Goochland and the many friends and supporters who make it a great event for Jack and his family.

to areas planned for efficient extension of public service.” This facility is clearly an Industrial Exposure and does not meet this definition. A solar facility of this size is detrimental to the land, the abundant wildlife and the wetlands within and outside the project site not to mention the lifestyle of the immediate residences. As residents we have not been able to obtain complete information of the plan and no community meeting will likely be held to address our concerns of the process and/or project. Hanover County’s Compre-

hensive Plan has no direction for the growth of such facilities and must be amended if the residents of our county should be accepting of such growth. I cannot imagine that a project of this size that has to be drawn to accommodate wetlands would not be subject to a complete Environmental Study period. The requirement of such should not be determined by size or output of such a facility. I feel that they should be required to complete a DEQ study in accordance with Code Section 9VAC15-60-30. The runoff that is common

and natural for these facilities will have great impact on the wetlands that lead to the adjacent creek that feeds the South Anna River. Disruption of a farmer’s ability to produce crop is happening here as well. Not to mention the loss of natural pollinator community that lives amongst the existing crops on this land. Where will we be if we keep shutting out our productive farmland with poor planning? Even once decommissioned, the land will be unusable for many years to come. We have so many questions with very little information to provide about a plan that effects more than just the adjacent property owners. A two-week notice for citizens to wrap their minds around this and have an understanding of how this impacts not only their daily lives, but the lives of others around them, wildlife that they watch on a daily basis, and changes in the local community in general is just not

Mother follows up on what you see with Type 1 (Editor’s note: In last week’s Letters, Tara Gray wrote about “What you don’t see” with Type 1 Diabetes, which her daughter Cassie has been diagnosed. She follows up with the following.) Type 1 What you do see: Finger pricks to check glucose levels, boxes of supplies, insulin, needles, glucose monitor, test strips, a loud alert when their number is going high, a loud alert when their number is going to low, frantically eating to correct a low glucose level, counting carbs for every single meal, everything that a Type 1 eats or drinks must be calculated, rec-

ognizing the signs of a high glucose level, recognizing the signs of a low glucose level, extreme glucose levels high or low affect mood and personality, sleepless nights when your day is just rough managing diabetes, afraid to sleep too heavy thinking maybe you might miss an alert. The “what if ” scenario plays in every Type 1 parent’s mind every night they go to sleep. Multiple finger pricks, daily insulin injections. It is a lot of work. If you see or know a Type 1 family, just know they are tired; they work their butts off every day. It is a tired you can’t explain. A type of tired coffee can’t fix. Ironically, it is the type of tired that pushes you to try harder the next day! Please remember Type 1 is an autoimmune disease the child or parent did nothing to bring this lifelong illness on them. Thank you.

Charity golf tourney brings peace to date of loved one’s death By Logan Barry Special to The Local SHLAND — For Brock Buchanan, the date Oct. 12 has been a tough reminder of the day he lost his father to a rare form of cancer over a decade ago, but not this year, and never again. The Mechanicsville resident decided that he wasn't going to let Oct. 12, 2020, be the day that made him upset anymore regarding the death of his father, Will “Web” Buchanan. Instead, he celebrated the life of Web with his father’s friends all from Hanover County. First, a little history: Brock Buchanan was named after his father’s best friend growing up, Greg Malcolm Brock of Ashland, who was killed in a tragic accident while limbing a tree near a power line in 1985. Besides the two making the front page of the local newspaper skinny-dipping in the South Anna River at Horseshoe Bridge while playing hooky from Patrick Henry High School, both can be remembered as frequenters of the Hanover Country Club (HCC). In planning how he could best celebrate his father’s life, Buchanan felt the light bulb go off in his head. He planned a golf tournament, the first annual “Web Buchanan Open” at HCC, and invited everyone who shared the same wonder-

ful memories with his dad that he did. “Part of this tribute was that my dad, Billy Doswell Jones, Greg Kelly, Rich Hynson, Brad Wickham and many of their friends got together as a group when Malcolm Brock passed away, and decided that they were going to throw a tournament for Malcolm, and it ultimately became the ‘Brock–Mills Memorial Golf Tournament,’ ” Buchanan said. Most of Brock’s friends referred to him by his middle name. “A big piece of my inspiration was that my dad and his buddies created a golf tournament for their best friend who had passed away, so this tournament for me is my way of paying a homage to the

Brock–Mills Memorial Golf Tournament, in honor of my father.” Web passed away in 2009 after a fight against Leiomyosarcoma (LMS), a very rare form of cancer. “It’s such a rare cancer that if you were to do a fundraiser for LMS, the money would only go so far in terms of how many people it can benefit,” he said. “So, my father, being forward looking as he was, made sure I knew that his charity of choice is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — he really believed in their mission and had so much respect for what St. Jude does.” The 2020 Web Buchanan Open raised $5,700 at the tournament. Afterwards, Buchanan was proud to report

November 25, 2020

they received a few last minute donations from friends who couldn’t take part, topping the fund off at $7,000 for the children’s hospital, a success that he was very pleased about because he knows how happy that would make Web. Team Greg Kelly took home the “Web Cup,” after a cart-path only day as the rain came down, something Buchanan said would be typical of his dad: to get out there and play rain or shine. The tournament kicked off shortly after 10:22 a.m., commemorating the high school jersey numbers of Web and Brock. Afterwards, everyone

enjoyed food, games and plenty of raffle prizes, with all of the proceeds going to St. Jude. Buchanan’s mother, Carol Buchanan, reflected on the tournament, saying, “I am so proud of the hard work and effort my son put forth to create such a memorable event. It’s a tremendous moment as his mom to see him honor his father and donate to such a special charity that was so dear to Web’s heart. I know yesterday would not have been the success it was without the support and overwhelming generosity of family and great friends who battled the elements.”

“Casie Buchanan Hathaway and Somer Raye Adkins helped so much to keep registration organized and set up everything needed for lunch and the awards ceremony. I guess what I’m saying is that we are so lucky to be surrounded by such a giving and caring community. I count my blessings for all that I have. It was certainly evident at the tournament,” she said. In addition to Professional Carpet Cleaning Services Inc. sponsoring the tournament as Buchanan’s employer, he secured numerous corporate co-sponsors, see GOLF, pg. 16

Planning Commission OKs CUP for R-MC site By Melody Kinser Managing Editor ASHLAND – RandolphMacon College President Robert R. Lindgren’s appearances before the Ashland Planning Commission apparently proved successful with a Conditional Use Permit being approved at last Wednesday’s regular meeting. A property at 301 Caroline St., which is owned by the college, had been discussed at the September and October meetings, with no action being taken by the Planning Commission. Lindgren addressed the planners at both sessions, talking about the partnerships the school shares with the town, as well as the revenue generated by employees and retirees of the college that reside in Ashland. “Randolph-Macon College is grateful for the support we’ve received from the Planning Commission and from many members of this extraordinary Ashland community throughout this process,” Lindgren said.

“R-MC is fully committed to all the conditions attached to the CUP, including keeping the exterior, landscaping, lighting, and parking at 301 Caroline St. in conformity with the neighborhood’s residential character. Indeed, we plan to add trees and landscaping to this beautiful home,” he said. “The college is a strong and important feature of this wonderful town, inextricably linked. Therefore, we are mindful of being good neighbors, protecting the integrity of this property, and have insured our proposed use of 301 Caroline St. will not impact the character nor increase traffic or noise in the neighborhood,” he added. At the Sept. 9 meeting, a delay in moving forward on approving the CUP involved the town’s Comprehensive Plan’s goal “of limiting R-MC’s expansion within the existing campus footprint.” While the planners agreed with the goal’s intent, members “express skepticism that approving the request would

be detrimental to the neighborhood since the lot is surrounded on three sides by R-MC property.” The commission then directed staff to provide draft conditions at the Oct. 14 meeting. Action was deferred at that time due to concerns regarding parking and preservation of the building. The 301 Caroline St. property, located next to the Blackwell Auditorium, just outside the R-MC campus, is the site of a single-family detached home, which has been used as a residence. The Georgian/Colonial Revival house was built in 1926 and is within the Ashland Historic District. R-MC bought the property in November 2019, with the intention of using it for offices and administration. According to Planning Department staff, the property is zoned R-2, Residential Limited, and office uses are permitted with a CUP in conjunction with a college or university.

Concern about legalization of marijuana Over the years, a deceiver (Mathews 12:36) has presented avenues leading one to blindly travel the roads of life where one can become trapped in the forest, resulting in poverty, crimes, health issues, or even death. Not too long ago we were encouraged to replace well known cooking oils with Canola oil. We were told cooking oils causes heart, high cholesterol, and blood pressure conditions, but later we learned there is little, if any, advantage to consuming Canola oil. We were warned to replace butter with margarine, only to learn that the human body has difficulty processing marga-

The owner of a nearby horse farm also requested a fence separating the property lines as opposed to a tree barrier. Noise and trash also were

passing away,” he said, explaining that “Every year on Oct. 12, I just have an absolutely terrible day; it’s just a slap in the face reminder that my dad is dead. So, taking that, and the gritting of my teeth for 11 years, I decided that I’m going to take Oct. 12 and commandeer it for something different. Instead of it being the day my dad died, it’s now the day of the Web Buchanan Open.” Lastly, it’s important to illustrate how much Hanover

County meant to Web. Buchanan said his dad’s favorite quote by George Eliot sums it up the best: “A human life, I think, should be well rooted in some area of native land where it may get the love of tender kinship from the earth, for the labors men go forth to, for the sounds and accents that haunt it, for whatever will give that early home a familiar unmistakable difference amidst the future widening of knowledge.”

rine, and we are encouraged to return to using butter. How about the warning that led us to replace sugary sodas, juices and flavored liquids with diet liquids, only to learn that the artificial sweeteners and corn syrup fructose causes equal or greater harm to the human body, as does sugar. Although the state operates alcohol beverage stores, the State Police penalize persons who drive after drinking and too often injure themselves and/or kills others. Our personal health care providers warn against alcohol, and other supplements and drug usage. Too often we hear from celebrities, prisoners, friends, and even family members who say they started their downhill spiral to drug addiction by using marijuana at the early stage, and then moved on to

other stronger chemicals. It is with a sad heart that I anticipate the persons who will be misguided into potential drug addiction due to our 2020 governor being in favor of legalizing the purchasing and usage of marijuana. Is marijuana to be our next generation’s government encouragement, leading to opioids, and other pain and mood-controlling chemical addictions? I believe too many will be roped into a life of addictions. There are many lives lost in other states by guns purchased in Virginia, known as the go-to state for guns. Will there also be many who will lose their lives because of marijuana purchased in Virginia? Will Virginia become the southeast, go-to state to easily buy marijuana? I pray not! M.

listed concerns, but noise tests conducted at the site indicated music was within acceptable limits. In the amended application, music is restricted to inside the barn within certain hours. There are other restrictions, including a limit of 65 participants at a single event, with no more than 50 inside the barn. For larger events, a tent will be erected to accommodate those activities. Dibble said going forward with the public hearing fol-

lowed by a deferral also would allow the applicant a better idea of “what we would like to see to improve the case.” Planning director David Maloney said a notice was forwarded to interested parties informing them of the deferral request by the applicant, but said final action on all deferrals are made at the board’s prerogative. “The appellant has been advised that there is a potential that the case could be heard

tonight,” Maloney said. Mechanicsville supervisor Canova Peterson said he had received information that some interested parties were informed the case was deferred and he was concerned that could preclude some of those interested parties from attending the public hearing. Maloney indicated the deferral was requested to allow the applicant adequate time to seek legal counsel regarding the case.He also noted the amended application contains more stringent restrictions than the original request.

“I am in receipt of an email that came from someone in planning that indicated that Mr. Stanley has indicated that he will be deferring the case,” Ashland supervisor Faye Prichard said. She said the communication was “misleading” to some who received it, and said she supported holding the public hearing and then considering the deferral request. “It makes me uncomfortable deferring before we have all the information or before we can give direction. It doesn’t seem fair to anybody,” Prichard said. Vice chair Sean Davis, Henry District, noted the applicant’s case could change once he is counseled, and also said

in order to gain more insight regarding the request. “We’ve had public hearings and then deferred,” she said. “We’ve even come back and held additional public hearings so we could do more, and, given the amount of attention that this particular case has received, I would offer to the chairman that might be a helpful solution.” Stanley noted that all applicants deserve equal treatment and said his request to defer was based on his belief that a small business owner has the same rights as a large developer. “I’m just wondering why we deferred Hickory Hill and don’t require those folks to present, and now we’re going

confusion regarding the deferral could cause some to not show up for the public hearing. The chair noted that requests for deferrals by the applicant are not uncommon and said he’d never seen one denied. “I’ve never seen a deferral that was asked for by an applicant turned down,” Stanley said. “I indicated to the Planning Department that I planned to move for a deferral.” Chickahominy supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek said she could recall times when citizens were confused as to whether a case would be heard and suggested possibly deferring the case, but allowing the public hearing to proceed

to ask the Masons (applicants) to present their case when they’ve asked for a deferral,” Davis said. “It looks like we’re being pretty inconsistent.” Dibble said there is a distinction in the two cases, and, while she feels comfortable with information regarding the Hickory Hill project and its status, she is less familiar with the Masons’ request. The only information available for her consideration is “a big stack of papers from opponents.” “I don’t feel like I have enough information to make a decision on what to do with the case,” Dibble said.

Stanley said he has not reached a conclusion on either of the cases but noted that “Hickory Hill is getting a lot more opposition that this one.” Kelly-Wiecek said she also is seeking more information on the case and suggested allowing those who did show up for the evening’s public hearing be allowed to speak during Citizen’s Time.

Clockwise from above: Allie Jones, the newest member of the Randolph-Macon women’s lacrosse team in 2016, shows off her stick technique; R-MC women’s lacrosse head coach M.K. Geratowski (left) and Allie’s mom, Amanda Jones (right), look on as Allie signs her “Letter of Intent” to join the team; Allie (front) dresses up as Mario and the members of the women’s lacrosse team dress up as characters from the Super Mario Brothers’ games for Halloween. It’s a Halloween tradition for them.

TEAM Continued from pg. 20

Randolph-Macon head women’s lacrosse coach M.K. Geratowski had been involved with a non-profit that helped kids like Allie before she arrived in Ashland. “When I had been at some previous schools, we’d been involved with Friends of Jacklyn, which is an organization that helps kids, specifically kids with brain tumors,” Geratowski said. “My assistant [at Randolph-Macon] at the time had mentioned that there was another organization called Team Impact. That was more broad-based in the sense that it helped any kids that had sort of any life-threatening illnesses. “And so, we contacted them, and it turned out one of their employees had actually played for me at another school years ago. So she started working with us and got us connected with the Joneses and so we adopted Allie.”

When Allie joined the team, they had a proper college signing ceremony. They even had folks interview Allie, and Allie gave gifts to her new team members. She’s been a key member of the squad since, with her own number, 32. When announcing the team lineup before a game, Allie’s name is the last one called. Joining the Yellow Jackets’ women’s lacrosse team helps inspire her to work harder to meet and exceed her physicians’ expectations. “For people who’ve been a part of a team, there’s that a different kind of family feel than having your mom tell you you can do it,” Amanda Jones said. “It is different having your teammates telling you you can do it – and they give her a drive that nobody else in this house could give her. “I mean, she rolled up out of surgery from having a major bowel resection two years, three years ago, and she was wanting to sit up as soon as she came out of surgery just to call them

to show her team that she was working to sit up. She was supposed to be in the hospital for three weeks. She was there for just under a week because she got up and she started walking. And she used to walk despite a terrible amount of pain. But her and her team, her team did it with her.” The inspiration flows both ways. “Every time we see her, like the excitement that we bring her and that she brings the team, is so important to me,” said team member Katie Sheehan. “It’s

such a cool experience, because it’s not something that every team gets to do. The joy that it brings her is it really important. But also the team dynamic, it’s something that the whole team can get around, that we all love, and we all want to spend time with her. “But also, I think for me, just like seeing that we are so fortunate, like we all can play for a team, and we can all do all this stuff and she can’t. … Doing what we can to make her feel like part of the team and make her feel special is really

important to me.” Allie stays on the sidelines during games, dancing when the Yellow Jackets score a goal and joining in the handshakes afterward. She hasn’t seen much of the team since the COVID-19 pandemic began, but the team stays in touch with her. They chat on the phone and do a Facetime call at least once a week. Allie loves to show them her room and any new dinosaurs she’s added to her collection, and they read her stories. Probably her favorite thing

The Mechanicsville Local

to do with team members is play “Would you rather?”, a game where they ask each other questions like, “Would you rather read a book or go to school all day?” Allie faces a tough future with her mitochondrial disease. She’s already had numerous surgeries and faces more, among them a complete digestive tract transplant when a suitable donor can be found. But, no matter how hard it gets for her, she knows her team is behind her – all the way.

Getting by with a little help from her team Allie Jones embraced, encouraged by R-MC women’s lacrosse team By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor Allie Jones might only be 11, but she’s an important part of the Randolph-Macon women’s lacrosse team. And, since she joined the team five years ago, the other team members have been an important part of her life. Allie lives in King and Queen County with her parents, John and Amanda Jones, and siblings Parker, Kaylei, Sebastian and Ryleigh. She has both cerebral palsy and mitochondrial disease, the latter a life-threatening, genetic disease in which the mitochondria – the parts of the cell that produce the energy needed for cells to function – don’t function properly. The effects of mitochondrial disease depend in large part on what body systems are most

affected. No matter what system is affected, the effects are potentially devastating. In Allie’s case, her gastrointestinal tract is most affected, so she has difficulty getting enough nutrition out of the food she eats. “It affects her ability to maintain her energy, so she tires out really easily. That’s why she uses a wheelchair sometimes,” her mother, Amanda, said “She has stomach paralysis as well as intestinal paralysis, so she has the feeding tubes. … She’s just off of her IV nutrition for the first time since she was, like, 2. “It has affected her brain. She has cerebellar atrophy. She has lost all of her cerebellum over the years, which affects her walking, too.” Given all the effects of mitochondrial disease, Allie Jones needs lots of therapy – and lots of motivation to go through with her therapy. Allie’s family were looking for something to help her in that department, and that’s when they got hooked up with the Yellow Jacket women’s lacrosse team. “I found an organization called Team Impact. They match kids with chronic lifethreatening illnesses with college teams across the country to let them be a part of that scene,” Amanda Jones said. “Often, the kids may not live to experience it anyway.”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

I’ve worked with Robbie for countless years in buying & selling homes. He has worked tirelessly in ensuring that my best interest was ALWAYS met!! From late night conference calls with builders to walk-throughs that lasted hours to driving HUNDREDS of miles to COUNTLESS homes, Robbie has always been there for whatever I needed and whenever I needed it!! What’s most important to me is that I know I can trust Robbie like I trust my own family; there’s not many people I can say that about. If you want a genuine and honest guy to handle your real estate needs, Robbie is the one for you! Lindsay York
