Its 44th home for the Derricott family was dedicated in May and two additional homes are under construction this summer for the Spurlock and Althizer families. Lafaye Derricott said she and her young daughter were thrilled to receive the keys to their new home on Karen Drive in Ashland. Lafaye is a life-long resident of Hanover County, put herself through college, and works two jobs. She said she had always shared a room with her daughter in a cramped home with extended

Tim Bowring, Habitat for Humanity’s executive director, said at the home’s dedication that, “It’s such an amazing thing that complete strangers come together to build a home in partnership with a hardworking family that otherwise would not be able to afford a home here. It’s very powerful and moving.” Wayne Hazzard, who represents the South Anna District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors,

Just a few weeks after the Spurlocks’ groundbreaking, Robbie and Ashley Althizer celebrated the start of their new home at 4223 Studley Rd. in Mechanicsville. Both Ashley and Robbie grew up in Hanover, and they currently reside with in-laws because they had a difficult time finding an affordable home for purchase in the county. Robbie Althizer is a mechanic with Bill Talley

Lafaye thanked everyone who came out to help build her home and all the donors who contributed, noting, “You’ve turned our dreams into reality.” The Spurlock and Althizer families’ dream of an affordable home of their own also is coming true, and both their homes will be finished by summer’s end. The Spurlocks have rented a small two-bedroom apartment in Ashland for over three years. Randy Spurlock grew up
in Hanover and is employed at Sunbelt Rentals. Martha Spurlock is a stay-at-home mom for the couple’s three young children and is taking online courses to earn her college degree. Hanover Habitat demolished a vacant and dilapidated home at 222 Randolph St. in Ashland to make way for the Spurlock’s new two-story home, which will be traditional in design and consistent with Ashland’s historic charm. The Spurlocks said they are thrilled that they will have an affordable mortgage and that

From the editor
Celebrating the tomato: Continuing a tradition For those of you who have called Hanover County home for any length of time, or even if you’re new to the area, this is the time of year when — thanks to the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department — we celebrate the Hanover Tomato. Oscar Watson, who passed away last year, may not have realized what a visionary he was when that first Hanover Tomato Festival was held at the fire station. Rather than vendors and thousands of people attending, it was small in scale in 1978. Thanks to Oscar and the other dedicated organizers and volunteers in their community, the festival grew and grew and grew. From the fire station grounds to Battlefield Park Elementary School to its current location at Pole Green Park, the Hanover Tomato Festival is considered “the” summer event in Mechanicsville. And people pour in from all around the region to purchase those famous tomatoes, check out the variety of vendors and their offerings, and enjoy a Saturday that provides something for everyone. It is absolutely family-friendly and special activities are planned for children. Merchandise, food, entertainment. You name it, you’ll probably find it at the Hanover Tomato Festival. The Mechanicsville Local is proud to be part of this Mechanicsville tradition. We’ll be out and about on the grounds, as well as in our tent near the entrance. Stop by and say hi. Without question, the Hanover Tomato Festival has grown by leaps and bounds. So many people are involved and our thanks go out to them before Saturday’s 35th Anniversary. Hanover County Parks & Rec joins with the Hanover Tomato Festival Committee in bringing the event to the community. Planning and more planning are involved. And, as soon as the 35th festival wraps, it’s time to start on No. 36. On Saturday, we will pay tribute to Oscar Watson as the festival is being dedicated in his honor. He was always so gracious to this writer. While his absence will be noted, he leaves behind a remarkable legacy. The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pole Green Park at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville. See you there. Melody Kinser

Public education benefits the student and the public To the letter writer who wishes to opt out of paying any taxes to support public education: Because the writer sends their child to private school, that is totally fine with me as long as you also opt out of any services provided to you by those educated in public educational institutions. So, please find doctors, nurses, attorneys, librarians, chefs, small business owners, college professors, private school teachers, government workers, public transit workers, etc., who have not received taxpayer-funded education. My taxes not only go to my child who receives excellent public education, but future nurses and physicians who will care for me in old age, the agricultural extension agents who help me with garden problems, and librarians who find information and services for me when I need them, among many, many others. Public education does not only benefit the student, it is good for the public too. Judy M. Thomas. Mechancsville
Reasons to support Radler for House noted I am writing to express my support for Toni Radler, who is running for the Virginia House of Delegates because I think she will truly represent the people of the 55th District (parts of Hanover, Caroline and Spotsylvania counties). We need a delegate who can think for herself and not say “yes” to everything the party bosses demand. She will vote for what’s best for her constituents, not what’s best for the lobbyists. Toni is smart, aware of what is going on and aware of the issues. I think she represents mainstream thinking, not extreme ideology. She wants the General Assembly to focus on jobs, the economy and education. And that’s what we need. To me, the choice is clear as to who will better represent the people of Hanover. Mary Knight South Anna District Ashland
Thanks to Davis for internet forum I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Sean Davis, vice chair and Henry District representative on the Hanover
County Board of Supervisors, for hosting a community forum that discussed access to high-speed internet. We live in an era where the internet plays a role in our daily lives, both in the professional and personal realm, and this topic deserved the attention that it was given by Davis. The community forum featured a representative from Comcast and addressed in an open and transparent manner this issue and allowed me to understand that our elected officials would like to explore and pursue all available options to help resolve this problem. I have lived in the Cold Harbor Magisterial District of Hanover County nearly my entire life and grew up in Old Church. As such, I have experienced first-hand that many of the conveniences that are associated with an urban lifestyle are compromised when living in a rural environment, but living in Hanover is a personal choice and one that I am most happy about! I currently live in an area of the Cold Harbor District where I have access to high speed internet, but with 4G capabilities now in Hanover I have chosen to decline the traditional method of obtaining high speed internet at my home and instead prefer to get access to the internet using a WiFi hotspot built into my cell phone. I am hopeful that some of the folks who can’t access high-speed internet may decide to pursue a similar option if available. I appreciate Davis bringing the community together to discuss the issues that are so important to us and I hope that our elected officials can continue to host forums like this one that directly affect our community.

MCKENZIE QUAINTANCE
After spring planting, producers should certify their 2013 acreage. Filing an accurate acreage report for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage and prevented planting acreage, can prevent the loss of benefits for a variety of programs. Failed acreage must be reported within 15 days of the disaster event and before disposition of the crop. Prevented planting must be reported no later than 15 days after the final planting date. Acreage reports are required for many Farm Service Agency programs. For crops enrolled in programs other than NAP see PRODUCERS, pg. 14

second time an announcement over the loudspeaker that, in lieu of the National Anthem, we would hear the Little League Pledge. As quaint as the Little League Pledge may be, it left me wondering why the abandoning of our National Anthem seems to be spreading to other localities. Prior to the start of the game, I introduced myself to a young man who was a former marine (t-shirt said so) and had served in Afghanistan in 2006. The prosthetic arm is his daily reminder. We chatted briefly, discussing the pending game where his son and my grandson would be facing off against one another. When the announcement was made stating the Little League Pledge would be said in lieu of the National Anthem,

I happened to look over and catch the expression of sadness and a quiet anger that was clearly visible on his face. I pondered what was going through this mind at that very moment, perhaps asking why he, along with thousands of others, made sacrifices only to come home to a nation that is visibly running from its own heritage? A century ago immigrants came here and assimilated over a generation or two, coming to love this country as much as any native born citizen. Today we set aside our own American culture in the mindless pursuit of not wanting to “offend anyone.” If the liberty and opportunity this nation provides, or if you have no appreciation for the sacrifices made by young men and women in uniform, then go back to wherever you came from. You simply are not welcome here.

VBS brings out cowboys and cowgirls Photos submitted by Rev. Jeff Scott
Area children said they loved the Western theme at this year’s Northside Baptist Church Vacation Bible School. Grade school children enjoyed dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls, completing creative crafts, singing, and hearing stories from the Bible. Not only does VBS give parents a break and children something fun to do, but it conveys lessons about values, faith, family and citizenship that enhance young lives. Among those participating were: photo at left,Kayla Schneider with crafts, Eva Bayer, Jack Pennington and Karsen Harrell.

Tigressá carpets are known for their combination of strength and softness. “This is a winning combination in flooring,” Morris Shelton, owner of L&M Carpet One Floor & Home, said. “Our customers want
beautiful, soft carpets but they don’t want to compromise performance. Tigressá Cherish has it all.” Shelton said that Tigressá Cherish is the softest Tigressá yet thanks to ultra-fine fibers that are 20 percent of the thickness of an ordinary carpet fiber.

Upward Flag Football & Cheerleading
For the third year in row, members of the Three Rivers Livestock 4-H Club participated in the 2013 Ag Literacy Week. Club members read this year’s Ag Literacy Week Book Kelly’s Big Day to various day cares, preschools, home school groups and several classes in Beaverdam, South Anna, Mechanicsville and Rural Point elementary schools in the Hanover County Public Schools district. They also donated a copy of “Kelly’s Big Day” to each Hanover County elementary school library so that all elementary students in the county will have the opportunity to learn about agriculture and its importance in
our daily lives. The theme of “Kelly’s Big Day” is about a little girl who shows her cattle at the State Fair and all the work that goes into preparing and participating. It was considered an excellent book for members of the Three Rivers Livestock to read to youth as these club members understand all it takes to be successful in the livestock show ring. For more information on 4-H livestock clubs, contact Lynn Whiteside-Jones at 804-752-4310 or go to the website at http://offices.ext.vt.edu/ hanover/programs/4h/index.html.

BARKSDALE SEASON at Hanover Tavern
Photo courtesy of Jay Paul
The cast of the Virginia Repertory Theatre’s production of Steel Magnolias includes: Maggie Roop, Kelly Kennedy, Aly Weeplo, Joy Williams, Cathy Shaffner and Jackie Jones. The show opens on Friday at Hanover Tavern.
Steel Magnolias opens Friday Virginia Repertory Theatre celebrates the 60th anniversary of the founding of Barksdale Theatre at Hanover Tavern with a production of Steel Magnolias featuring an all-star cast. The show opens on Friday, July 12, at Hanover Tavern at 13181 Hanover Courthouse Road, and runs through Aug. 25, coinciding with the official anniversary on Aug. 1. Sixty years ago in 1953, six actors, two children, a dog and two pigs moved into a historic ruin called Hanover Tavern. The transplanted New Yorkers founded Central Virginia’s first professional theatre and named the company in memory of a deceased college friend, Barbara Barksdale. When the founders, Muriel McAuley and Pete and Nancy Kilgore, learned that their new neighbors looked forward to eating on evenings out, they combined favorite recipes and created the nation’s first dinner theatre. They lived upstairs, performed downstairs, and served hearty meals in the historic rooms that fell in between. The restaurant at Hanover Tavern continues to serve dinner to theatre patrons today. Bruce Miller, artistic direc-
tor for Virginia Rep, said he loves to talk about the history of Barksdale Theatre and its importance in the regional theater movement in the early to mid-1900s. Barksdale and Theatre IV merged last year, forming Virginia Repertory Theatre.Virginia Rep is staging Steel Magnolias as the anniversary production. The comedy by Robert Harling is set in Northwest Louisiana, and based on the author’s own experience with the death of his sister. Six strong, Southern women gather regularly at Truvy’s beauty salon to have their hair done and to share stories, recipes, triumphs and loss. Under the direction of Steve Perigard, the show assembles some of Richmond’s most beloved female actors. Perigard’s directing talent is well known in the Richmond area where his work has been seen on the stages of Virginia Rep, Cadence Theatre, Richmond Shakespeare, Firehouse Theatre, Theatre Virginia, SPARC, Theatre VCU, Randolph-Macon College, and Company of Fools. In addition to Steel Magnolias, Perigard’s directing credits this past season include
The Pillowman for Cadence Theatre, Hay Fever for Virginia Rep, and The Comedy of Errors for Richmond Shakespeare. He is on the adjunct performance faculty at SPARC and will be teaching and directing at Collegiate School in the fall. Virginia Rep brings back longtime local favorites for this production. Joy Williams plays the role of Truvy. Kelly Kennedy reprises her role of M’Lynn. Catherine Shaffner and Jacqueline Jones return to Hanover Tavern as Ouiser and Clairee. Rounding out the cast are Aly Wepplo as Shelby and Maggie Roop as Anelle. For ticket information, call the Box Office at 804-282-2620 or visit www.va-rep.org. Full price tickets are $38 standard and $40 premium. Supersaver and discount performances are $30 to $36. Discounted group rates and rush tickets are available. U-Tix for college and high school students are $10 and available by phone or in person. A student ID is required. Evening performances begin at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Police investigating threat at King William High School BY REED WILLIAMS Richmond Times-Dispatch
Twitter.com/TheKWLocal
Authorities are investigating a message scrawled in a bathroom at King William High School that threatens to “kill everyone.” The message was brought to the attention of the school’s principal about 10 a.m. Thursday,
said King William County schools Superintendent Mark Jones. Officials said they are taking the message seriously and will be adding security at county schools today and next week. The message, written in a boy’s bathroom at the school, says, “I will kill everyone.” Written below the threatening words is Monday’s
date. Beside the message is a crudely drawn symbol that authorities said they do not recognize. King William sheriff’s Lt. Tim Hixenbaugh said he has sent a picture of the symbol to law enforcement officials nationwide to see if anyone recognizes it. Authorities on Thursday were

trying to determine who wrote the message and why. Hixenbaugh and school officials said they were unaware of any other similar incidents at the school. “This is somewhat out of the ordinary for here,” Jones said. About 650 students attend the

solutions to the problem, no fault of their own. They did come up with some recommendations,” Davis said. While technology is addressing new options, there’s still no cure all for the county’s access problems in areas like Old Church, Black Creek and Studley. “One of the issues that has plagued this conversation is providing accurate and timely information to the citizens about the challenges of high speed Internet accessibility in rural areas,” Davis said. Some at the meeting expressed a philosophy that it is government’s responsibility to ensure access for all of its citizens. While conceding government should be involved in the process and should not place barriers for the private sector to solve the problem, Davis said he thinks government funding to
entice providers to come to the area is not an option. “The government’s role here is to try to put the private sector in contact with the people who need the service and remove any barriers we can for them,” Davis said. Verizon and Comcast have experienced physical restraints when studying the possibility of wired Internet in the questioned areas, and expressed a position that hard wiring these sections doesn’t make financial sense. “There are some topography issues that mean there’s not one fix for everybody,” Davis said. Some speakers at the meeting said air cards were undependable, while others complained of having to climb hills to gain access to the Internet. The issue is even more pressing now that Hanover County Public Schools require all students to take an online course. “I’m talking to the schools about this problem now, but I
can say no child will be penalized because they can’t access the Internet at home,” Davis said. School schedules allow students time to take the online course on campus utilizing HCPS computers. Davis said he’s willing to talk to any provider that will come into those areas of the county and provide service. The same offer was issued by the committee on completion of its work. “They had no takers,” Davis said. He also said the real solution might lie in evolving technology that will eventually make high speed Internet available for everyone, no matter the location. “The issue is really economics,” Davis said. “The county is not going to raise taxes to provide infrastructure for high speed Internet. If this can’t be done in the private sector, then there’s no way that the county can do it when it comes to infrastructure.”

Hanover’s Searles heads All-Metro baseball team By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch Just how good were Keith Searles’ offensive statistics this season? His .494 batting average was second best in Hanover High School history. His eight home runs tied the school record, and his 42 RBIs set the program mark. And when the Hanover catcher was asked about those phenomenal statistics a week after the season, his response was surprising. “Honestly, I haven’t seen my numbers,” Searles said. “I haven’t seen any of them. I was just having fun playing the game.” After leading the area in home runs and RBIs and finishing among the leaders in batting average, Searles was named the All-Metro player of the year. The only Hanover player to

Hanover’s Keith Searles (right) celebrates with teammates after hitting a home run against Oakton in the Group AAA state semifinal in June. Searles finished with two homers and five RBIs.
eclipse his batting average was Patrick Long, who hit better than .500 in 2005 and went to Georgia Tech. Searles’ home run count tied Austin Erb and Laine
Denton’s total, both achieved in 2009. “To hit .500 in high school, or darn close to it, is pretty remarkable,” Hanover coach
Charlie Dragum said. “That’s really hard to do.” To Searles’ credit, his eight home runs came with the new, weaker bats that 2009 players
had the luxury of not using. More important than his numbers were the wins Hanover racked up in part thanks to Searles’ offensive prowess. The Hawks won the Group AAA title. In the state semifinals against Oakton, Searles blasted two home runs and recorded five RBIs. “I’ve won so many championships with travel teams and showcase teams,” Searles said. “But this one stands out way over top of them.” In April, Searles committed to Randolph-Macon. Hawks assistant Bobby White played for Macon and initiated the conversation between the Hanover
catcher and Macon coach Ray Hedrick. Hedrick praised Searles’ bat and his character. “He just seems like a very good person,” Hedrick said. “He’s grounded. He’s very close with his family.” In his junior year, Searles tore a ligament in his right knee. The injury kept him from catching the rest of the season. But he returned to his spot behind the plate in 2013 and, in his opinion, had his best defensive season in addition to having his best offensive season. Searles will get the opportunity to catch in college. But he could be moved to first base. “It’s clear that he’s a tough kid, and he certainly persevered to do the rehab necessary to come back and catch 27 games,” Hedrick said. “It says a lot about his work ethic and his makeup.”

Patrick Henry’s Phillips determined to finish on top By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times-Dispatch Patrick Henry’s Travis Phillips wanted to go out on top before his high school career was finished. He entered the 2013 outdoor track season coming off a Group AAA title in the 55meter hurdles, seeking to capture the state crown in the 110 hurdles. Phillips never lost focus, though. He gave it his all at each meet and never waivered. At the Group AAA meet on June 1, Phillips accomplished his goal and won a state championship in the 110 hurdles to follow up a Central Region title the week prior. For that, he is the All-Metro Athlete of the Year. “This is a great honor for me,” Phillips said. “I couldn’t ask for a better way to go out. Winning two state titles is a big accomplishment, and I’m thankful for my family, coaches and teammates who helped get me there.”
Travis left for East Carolina University a few days following his graduation from Patrick Henry. The honor roll student is planning to study accounting and is using the summer months to knock out some of his general education requirements. He will be doing this all while preparing for his freshman season as a member of the ECU football team. Even though he will put on the helmet this fall, Travis still plans to run hurdles for the Pirates in the spring. “I’m really looking forward to getting everything going,” he said. “It’s a really exciting time, and I hope to do the best I can.” Phillips was fortunate not to face any injuries during the season. However, he did encounter some adversity– A battle within himself. “I felt like I wasn’t running as good as I could be,” he said. “I wanted to run under 14 seconds, and it just wasn’t happening. I knew I had to dig deeper.”
Daniel Sangiib Min/Times-Dispatch
Patrick Henry’s Travis Phillips, center, won the boys’ 110-meter hurdles during the Group AAA state outdoor track and field championships at Todd Stadium in Newport News in June.
But Phillips rebounded, running a season-best 13.86 in the preliminaries at the Central Region meet. He attributes his improvement to the work he put in during practice, and he explained that much of his time devoted to becoming one of the top hurdle runners in the state was spent on the track after
school. “I give it my all when we’re out there,” he said. “My coaches do a great job of staying on me, keeping me focused. The push me really hard, and it helped me.” While the bulk of Phillips’ success came in the 110-hurdles, he also saw success in the
300-hurdles. Travis earned all-region honors three years in a row from 2011 to this season, including winning the Central Region title in 2012. He never won a state title, but when he got on the biggest stage, he always managed to find himself in the mix.
In the Friday preliminaries on May 31, he had run a season-best 37.9 seconds to have the top time entering the final. He looked like the favorite. And a short time after winning the state 110-hurdles crown, he found himself back in the blocks again. Although he didn’t complete the state sweep, he did cap off his final state meet by finishing fourth (38.88) to earn all-state recognition. The finish came a week after Phillips was third at the Central Region meet to earn all-region honors. His accomplishments that day helped cement a great legacy of success at Patrick Henry as he moves on to the collegiate level. “I’m very fortunate to have had all this success,” he said. “I would have liked to have won state titles this year in both the 110 and the 300, but I’m happy with a top-eight finish in the 300. It was a great way to cap it all off. I feel like I left it all out there on the track, and that’s what I wanted to do.”
Williams travels bumpy road en route to girls shot put title By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times-Dispatch

Shania Williams winds up for a shot put throw at Patrick Henry High School in June. Earlier that month she won the Virginia High School League Group AAA girls’ shot put championship.

The Mechanicsville Local July 10, 2013
The road to a state shot put championship was not always a smooth one for Patrick Henry’s Shania Williams, the girls AllMetro outdoor track athlete of the year. Her attitude changed during the season. Attitudes on the team changed. All of which was essential. For the Patriots to be successful, Williams and her teammates needed to get on the same page. “My grades weren’t that great, and I wasn’t really giv-
ing it my all in practice. I was struggling,” said Williams, a rising senior. “But we held a team meeting and let everyone just put it all out there, and it helped. “Some of us were going through the same sorts of things, and we knew if we were going to beat Cosby and win a region title, we all needed to work together.” Things turned around. Williams found herself on a roll and playing a key role in the Patriots’ success. She was all-region in the discus with a second-place throw of 118-10
before capturing her first region shot put title and setting a meet record with a mark of 44-3. Her performances helped Patrick Henry cruise to a Central Region crown over Dominion District powerhouses Midlothian and Cosby. “I was just happy to help my team in any way I could,” Williams said. “In the shot, I really wasn’t trying to go out and break the record. My goal was to just throw 44 feet, but when I did and found out I broke a meet record, it was just see WILLIAMS, pg. 33

icing on the cake.” The next week at the Group AAA meet, she duplicated her success from the week before. She earned all-state distinction with an eighth-place throw (114-9) in the discus. She captured her state shot put title with a heave of 42-6 1/4 . That effort was two feet better further than that of Galissia Cause from Battlefield. “It was really great to win a state title,” Williams said. “I
am thankful for everyone who helped me get there.” Williams originally wanted to run for Patrick Henry. She tried out for the team her eighth grade year with hopes of one day being one of the team’s top sprinters. But that all changed when a friend introduced her to the shot. “I remember them giving me the shot, and then on my first try I threw it 30 feet,” she said. “Everyone was really surprised and realized I’d probably be pretty good at it. So I researched it and figured that it was probably the best way to go.”

Many schools in the area have plenty of coaches to work with runners and jumpers. But when it comes to the throwing events, coaches often are scarce. At Patrick Henry, head coach Scott Brown’s wife works with the throwers. For Williams, it’s a blessing, but she also takes to the internet to get help with her technique. “I usually just watch videos on YouTube,” she said. “But Coach Brown’s wife is very helpful, too. It helps to have another set of eyes watching to help correct some things you may be doing wrong.”
Williams recently joined the Richmond Heat AAU track team. She said she has already been in contact with a few college teams, but nothing is in place yet. For now, she will continue to improve upon her shot put and discus throwing while keeping up with her other responsibilities. “I’m excited for the future,” she said. “I work two jobs, I work for Hanover Parks and Recreation, and I also wait tables. Time management is crucial for me. But it’s what I have to do. I really want to throw at the next level.”

Post 175 surfs streak into Legion season’s final week By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Mechanicsville Post 175 is making up for lost time with a vengeance. After two early losses in its 2013 American Legion campaign, the team has defied weather and its Legion opponents by winning eight straight games going into the final week of the District 11 regular season. Post 175 took advantage of its depth on the pitcher’s mound and roster of skilled hitters to defeat Midlothian Post 186 9-3 and 15-1 Friday, sweep Powhatan Post 201 9-5 and 5-1 Saturday, and avenge an earlier loss to West End Post 361 10-4 Sunday. Post 186, which hosted Post 175 at Rockwood Park Friday night, could not compete with Post 175’s depth. “They were slim. They were down to 10 players,” Gates said. “They had to work to play the game.” The numerical advantage was especially felt on the pitcher’s mound. Post 186 had few arms to choose from, and it showed, especially in the nightcap in which Post 175 outslugged its host 11-2 en route to a 15-1 victory. Part of Post 186’s problem was that the doubleheader was a makeup for a rainout in June, and that many of its players were out of town for the July 4 holiday. Post 186 manager Roger Carmony had to use relatively inexperienced pitchers against Post 175. “Two of my best pitchers are not here tonight,” Carmony said. “[These] guys have not had a lot of mound time. But it’s OK. It’s good to give them some experience. I don’t like to get them hammered like that … but it’s good to get them out there.” Mechanicsville’s Cody Powers got the big hit of the opening game with a three-run home run. Mitch Keeler had three hits, including a double and an RBI. Bryant Lowery had a double, two RBIs and one run scored, and Dalton Ruch had two hits and an RBI. In the second game, Luke Bolka had a solo home run and two runs scored. Michael Thomas knocked in the most runs, however, with two hits, including a triple, four RBIs and one

Three-run blast gives Post 74 edge over Post 206 By Paislee Winkler sports@mechlocal.com Post 74 designated hitter Josh Gibson gave his mother a birthday present she may never forget: hitting a three run home run, in the fifth inning to lead the Albemarle post to an 183 victory over host Post 206 at Patrick Henry High School Saturday afternoon. After the handshakes and “good games” of the night Post 74 joined Gibson along the first base line to sing “Happy Birthday” to his mother. The night did not start off so well for Gibson. He struck out in his first at-bat in the second inning and grounded out his next time up in the fourth. After the groundout, He was overheard complaining that he could not get a decent pitch to hit.
That changed in the fifth. “There were a lot of pitches,” said Josh Gibson. “I finally saw one good pitch and did what I’ve got to do. Luckily I got good results.” The inning began with the score tied 2-2. Post 74’s leadoff batter, Jordan Gentry, opened the inning by striking out. Lonnie Dillard and Keagan Woolford followed him with back-to-back singles. Austin Batton hit into a fielder’s choice that led to Dillard being retired at third, and Kyle Vidono doubled to drive in Woolford. Then Gibson came to the plate looking for a pitch he could handle. “It was a fast ball right down the pipe,” Gibson said. “It looked good.” By the time Gibson crossed the plate, Post 74 had a 6-2 lead.
Dave Lawrence/The Local
Ashland Post 206 Nathan Steele center fielder launches the ball in the third inning of the post’s 18-3 loss to Albemarle Post 74 at Patrick Henry High School Saturday.
Post 74 manager Mike Maynard said Gibson has been a key component of the team’s offense this season. “Josh, I think that’s his fourth or fifth home run already of the year,” Maynard said. “He’s one
of our better hitters. When he gets his pitch he usually doesn’t miss it. He had a good game for us.” Gibson led Post 74 with two runs scored and six RBIs. Austin Batton scored three
runs for Post 74, including the first run of the night, two hits and one RBI. Lonnie Dillard got four hits, including a double, three RBIs and two runs scored. Post 74 kept Post 206 from
scoring in the sixth with a defensive double concluding the sixth. Post 206 held its own against Post 74 until the fifth inning when Post 74 finally got a handle on Post 206’s pitching. Post 206 did not go down without a fight, but Post 74’s defense stifled a nascent rally with an inning-ending double play in the sixth. Austin Heilman led Post 206 with a solo home run to tie the game 1-1 in the bottom of the second inning. Hunter McKinley had two hits, including a triple, and Joe Buehren had two hits and an RBI. Post 74 has been a tough opponent for Post 206. “We have five losses and three of them are from Post 74,” said Coach Earl Steele of Post 206. “You know one pitch can throw a whole ball game.”

I know God brought you into my life and came to take you back into his arms for a reason. Because of God’s grace, and the beautiful memories you left behind I hope to meet you in Heaven someday. When the journey gets rough and I become weak I just stop and call upon God for strength to find my way. The joy of being married to you for 61 years was a gift from God and one I will always cherish. I will love you forever.
