Davis: service is issue-driven Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com In his re-election message, Sean Davis focused on the people he represents and the commitment he has to Hanover. Davis stated, “The past three years have been filled with addressing important issues on behalf of the people of Hanover. There has been a need to exercise leadership — to make tough calls during tough times.” He said he is proud of many accomplishments but among the top are: “renewing our commitment to public safety, focusing on educational needs by increasing local funding to schools, and DAVIS advancing pro-business initiatives.” When asked about public safety, Davis stated, “You simply can’t compare Hanover to any other locality.

asking for your support for Chief Piland’s request for 12 positions,” Hutchinson said. The eight proposed new positions are targeted to meet staffing needs at Companies 1 and 3. “The additional four positions are needed to fill the demands of the citizens as our call volumes continue to grow,” Hutchinson said. The four additional positions would be utilized in adding another ambulance transport unit to the Ashland area. The chief requested 12 additional positions in his 2016 budget proposal, but the board included eight in its projected expenditures for 2016. “The 12-person request is, in reality, still not enough to get our system to the minimum required staffing levels as recommended nationally by the Fire Service,” Hutchinson told board members. “In our business, seconds and minutes do matter and they do save

The Joyful Noizes Homeschool Bell Choir, led by Lori Ferguson, recently participated in a clothing drive competition to benefit Life of Hope Ministry’s clothing outreach, The Conduit. The contest was a way to engage the children, ages 4 to 8, in giving to local missions. They donated clothing of all sizes as well as shoes and purses. This photo shows a small portion of the items they collected. Their contributions will be added to clothing donations from other organizations and individuals. These items will be made available free of charge to local residents at the ministry’s bi-annual swap and shop, which will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 25, at Walnut Grove Baptist Church in Mechanicsville.

remarked, “Funding that is focused on the classroom is important, and we have made huge strides in that area. Additionally, some substantial maintenance needs in the schools have been corrected. This is what parents wanted, and I’m happy about that progress. Let me be clear, all of this was achieved by working closely with the superintendent and School Board. This was definitely a team effort.”
Davis said he has become known for his no nonsense approach and straight talk. “I don’t pick and choose what issues I advance on behalf of the citizens I represent. If it is important to the people, it is important to me. That’s why I voted against the Comprehensive Plan, and why I advanced measures to start the live streaming of board meetings,” As chairman, Davis’ first action was to freeze supervisors’ salaries.

Siblings exchange same birthday card for 20 years Sister and brother share special tradition By Meredith Rigsby News Editor
M
ECHANICSVILLE — Tattered, taped together and bursting at the seams with well wishes and fond memories, local resident Toni Liskie unearths a birthday card from the top of her closet. But this isn’t just any card — this particular card has been passed between Liskie and her brother, Richard McGhee, for exactly 20 years this month. In 1995, Liskie unassumingly picked out a funny birthday card for her brother, whose birthday falls on April 16. Inside she wrote, “It’s too cute to sign, pass it on.”
When her birthday arrived on April 26, to her surprise, Liskie’s brother handed her the same card she had given him just a week earlier. A tradition had begun. For the following 20 years, the pair passed the card back and forth, sending birthday wishes, sharing pictures and recounting milestones and memories. “It’s just a sweet thing that we’ve been doing for 20 years,” Liskie said. “We just love it. We wouldn’t have any other present, this is our present to each other and we expect it, we don’t just take it for granted.” Meredith Rigsby can be reached at mrigsby@ mechlocal.com.

Spring Break and flood of memories
From the editor
Make a difference by donating your organs For as long as this writer remembers, the designation of organ donor has been included on my driver’s license. There has never been a moment of hesitation at that decision. In our letters to the editor section today, the president of the Children’s Organ Transplant Association addresses the need for funding and organ donors. April is designated as National Donate Life Month. If you aren’t registered in some way as an organ donor, make the time to do so as soon as possible. Not to sound morbid, but there are no promises of tomorrow. Your heart could beat in another’s chest; your lungs can help another breathe. A friend’s brother was killed when he was in his early 30s. He was in relatively good health and their mother decided to donate his organs. A nurse told her that nearly 100 people would benefit from his body. In addition to the donation of his organs, skin was available for grafting. My father died suddenly and, since he had cancer, only his corneas could be harvested for transplant. My sister, brother-in-law and I had left our hometown the day before, so Mom was alone with him when he passed away. We were so proud of her for making that decision. There’s nothing more heartbreaking than to read about someone waiting for that very special gift that will lengthen a life. While I hope to be around a while longer, I smile when I see that little heart symbol and the words organ donor on my driver’s license. On my to-do list is getting on the bone marrow registry. Sure, if I’m a match to someone somewhere, take it. Anyway, read the letter from Rick Lofgren and consider the lives you may be able to save. In closing, we welcomed Meredith Rigsby as news editor of The Mechanicsville Local and The King William Local last week. We are pleased to have her join the Richmond Suburban News family. And, yes, as of April 27, we will be in new offices at 8460 TimesDispatch Blvd. We’re excited and, as always, will have the welcome mat out for you, our readers. Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist In years long past, the declaration of Spring Break evoked a sense of excitement and unbridled energy unequaled by few events in my life. The annual respite from responsibility usually meant a trip to Florida where other youths gathered for a week of frolic and immature behavior. No doubt, the annual rite of passage had its detractors even then, and its reputation often shocked the general public. I can’t remember my mother ever actually endorsing one of my escapades. There also was a prevailing permissive sense by authorities who looked the other way as we crowded their streets and took over different beaches in Florida. As many Spring Breaks passed and my expertise regarding the escape
improved, my choices for Spring Break also evolved. I spent my first spring break in Daytona Beach as a junior in high school. It was a different environment, and, as naïve firsttimers, we were easily overwhelmed. As the years passed, the trips progressed farther South to Fort Lauderdale, the proverbial capital of sun and fun during Spring Break. It was a unique blend of hippies and fraternity types gathered for the same week-long goal of fun and sun. By far, my best collegiate Spring Break trip was spent in Key West in the early 1970s. The small island was still a largely undiscovered cove of creative and off the grid residents mixed with a large military presence. The culture was changing as the large Naval Base that dominated the small island for years began to close. Lazy days relaxing by the sun at
the submarine slips gave way to fruity drinks and warm breezes at night, and the week passed too quickly. We became part of a community centered around a small hamlet called Boyd’s Campground on the causeway, and formed relationships that, in some cases, lasted a lifetime. Snap back to the future, and I was not shocked to see a Fox News report citing the potential hazards of college kids on Spring Break. The network has become an annual permanent feature in Panama City, Florida, for years, as they expose the sins and sensation of Spring Break 2015. A reporter seemingly tried to keep a straight face as she listed the increased number of arrests, assaults and other elements that donate to the image of Spring Break today. Question is: Do the increased see SPRING, pg. 8

‘Put Kids First!’ rally to be held Saturday in Richmond Virginians have come to expect excellent public schools, especially in Hanover County and our educators have delivered on those expectations. Why then, do we rank 39th in state-supported school funding yet rank as the 10th richest state in per capita income? To add to that, we are currently funding our schools at a lower level than we did in 2009 yet Virginia is ranked 5th in the nation by “Education Week.” Think about what our schools could be if we, as a state and local community, really decided to “PUT KIDS FIRST”! That’s the name of a joint campaign by the Virginia Education Association and the Virginia PTA, going on right now to change the conversation about our schools here in the Commonwealth. Part of that campaign is a momentum-shifting rally of educators and families, to be held in Richmond on Saturday, April 18. If you are dissatisfied with our kids being in over crowded classrooms, using out-dated resources, and being
over-tested, then join us at our Puts Kids First Rally. Meet us at noon at the Richmond Convention Center and march with us to the Capitol. Be a part of history in the making! See you there! Afreen Y. Gootee President Hanover Education Association see LETTERS, pg. 8

Peaces opening renovated and award-winning home for tour MECHANICSVILLE — This year’s visitors to Ashland’s Historic Garden Week will be treated to a tour of White Plains, home of the Honorable and Mrs. Christopher K. Peace, who earned Preservation Virginia’s Historic House Rehabilitation Award in 2013 for their efforts to rehabilitate this historic Hanover County home. The Preservation Virginia Awards have been given since 1971, honoring Virginians who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to preservation. “Ashley and I love Hanover County’s rich history. As mere stewards of this fine place, we hope to inspire a new generation of preservationists,” said Peace. White Plains farm was first established on 362 acres in 1787 by the Ellett family. It lies adjacent to the south side of the Pamunkey River Valley in the hamlet of Old Church. The community, which is featured in Ashland’s Historic Garden Week this year, is charming, picturesque and steeped in history. White Plains farm was once described as one of the loveliest plantations in old Hanover County. The home has now been restored to a
stately manor house that is inherently beautiful and without pretention. The owners describe the

I’m not sure what this means for Ashland, Virginia, but I just read that Felicity California (a two-resident town) is now the center of the world. I’m thinking center of the world and center of the universe are one of the same. If this is true, what’s next for Ashland? I see maybe two options to make Felicity pay for insulting Ashland. First, maybe organize all the small towns on Amtrak lines around the country and put sanctions on both residents of Felicity, California. Second, the most probably and most popular with Republicans would be to wait
parties or the hint of a beach. We’ve planned things like a day at the park, a trip to the mountains and a most anticipated trip to Southern Season for milk shakes. I don’t begrudge or judge the students who probably do things on Spring Break they wouldn’t in their normal routines. After more than seven decades, Spring Break is becoming as American as
apple pie. For those who are annoyed by the rituals performed at beaches around the country as spring arrives, perhaps they should turn their heads. As we prepare at my house for a less exciting Spring Break, what happens in Florida stays safely away, and, for years now, out of mind. Like the man said, “They have their way of partying, and we have ours.”
until another Bush gets into office and keeping with tradition will instruct the U.S. military to invade the silly little country of Felicity. Who needs them anyway? I’m sure that more than half of our politicians all together have as much sense as those two residents. If those options don’t get Ashland “The Center of the Universe” title back, how about naming Ashland “The Best Little Town” on the other side of the tracks? I got this idea from being in Ashland one day and as I was stopped at the tracks I heard a person on my side of the tracks yell to a person on the other side, “How do I get to the other side of the tracks?” To which the person on the other side yelled back “You are on the other side of the tracks.” So, you see, being on the other side of the tracks will
make no difference, either way you will still be part of the best little town on the other side of the tracks. Another thought just crossed my mind: What if someone now questions the validity of the Hanover Tomato? What would that do for the economy? We have a tomato festival; why not include a tomato contest. Invite tomatoes from around the country to come to Hanover to be judged and voted on. I can see a shoo-in for Hanover as we can use our experienced revote judges. Someone may ask what if Hanover would lose. Well, it’s simple, after our judges finish happy hour and get a few calls from local farmers and residents informing them that Selbyville, Delaware, won best Tomato, they can admit they voted the wrong way and have
a re-vote. Nothing wrong with it, that’s admirable when people who need to be told they voted the wrong way can admit they voted the wrong way and then vote the right way, which, who knows, may still be the wrong way and now it’s hard to tell right from wrong. Ted Mentz Old Church

Korean War veterans are taken on a space available basis. Veterans interested in participating must submit an application. Applications can be found at www.honorflighthtva.org or by calling 1-800-619-0578. The trip is free for the veteran. Veterans will visit the Arlington National Cemetery, Iwo Jima Memorial, WWII Memorial, Korean War Memorial and other surprises throughout the day.

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Chance, 396020, is a 6-year-old male beagle. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Chance came to the shelter as a stray from the western part of Hanover County. He is very playful and has tons of energy. He gets along very well with other dogs. Chance will most likely require lots of playtime and exercise at his new home. Betsy, 395800, is a 6-year-old female domestic short-haired cat. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Betsy came to the shelter in rough shape. A citizen found her as a stray. She initially had some health issues, but after some veterinarian care and tender loving care (TLC), she has turned out to be a great cat. Betsy is a litter boxtrained and loves to be brushed and petted on the head and chin. Betsy will make a great house cat. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

lives and property.” Glenn Millican, a Mechanicsville resident and former member of the Hanover County School Board, echoed those concerns, among others, as he spoke against County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr.s’ 2016 budget. “I’m here tonight to express my opposition to the 2016 budget as proposed,” Millican said. “This is not a conservatively responsible budget.” He cited deficiencies in funding in several major areas, including education, economic development, fire and the sheriff ’s office. Millican hinted the budget lacks the foresight and vision required for long-term financial success. “It reflects a spread the money around concept, not an acceptable strategy built on problem solving, goal attainment, citizens needs or asset protection,” he said. Millican said the budget ignored requests from agency professionals like the sheriff and fire chief. “ Additional positions are needed,” he added. Representatives from professional teacher associations expressed thanks for the county’s 2 percent raise, but listed Jan Turner REALTOR®

continuing concerns regarding class size, teacher retention and increased workloads. Randy Sherrod representing Friends of Hanover Schools, said this year’s budget and fiveyear plan continue to address maintenance issues at campuses throughout the county, but he noted that it’s time to begin looking at renovation and replacement of some of the county’s older campuses. “We appreciate that identified maintenance needs have been fully funded,” Sherrod step. “The next step should be a plan to renovate or replace or oldest facilities. There are only so many times that we can patch a roof.” He also cited the need for improved working conditions for Hanover teachers. “We need to do whatever we can to improve those conditions and stem the tide of teachers leaving,” Sherrod said. Angela Downer, president of Hanover Professional Educators, followed other speakers in expressing appreciation for the increased proposed employee raise, but said issues still remain regarding education. “We are receiving reports that some high school academic teachers have loads of more

accounting at Strayer College and Randolph-Macon College. As a young man, he had a keen interest in flying and for a number of years maintained his own private plane near his home in Ashland. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, he joined the Army Air Corps, where he attained the rank of Captain, flying air transport and Medevac missions across North Africa from Casablanca, Morocco, to Karachi, India, and airbases in between, and was an instructor pilot in the Air Corps’ C-46 “Commando.” After the war, he became a certified public accountant and commenced his public accounting career at the firm of Ernst and Ernst. In addition to his public accounting career, he served stints with the Virginia Auditor of Public Accounts and as an officer of the Hanover National Bank and ultimately established a private accounting and tax practice in Ashland.

PATSY SWINK Patsy Ruth Swink. Clyde and Patsy Swink came together in marriage “until death do us part” for 56 years. Clyde Leo, a faithful husband, died on March 25, 2015, at the age of 83. Patsy Ruth followed her husband in death on April 8, 2015, at St. Mary’s Hospital at the age of 85. Patsy was born in Mount Airy, North Carolina, to Elsie Simpson Barker and Robert Simpson. Moving from Mount Airy, Patsy came to Richmond, where she met her husband while working at the Carillon Theater on West Cary Street; also, working at Gary’s Music Shop at Willow Lawn.

Abbott and Kathleen Swink of Richmond. Patsy was honored as a true sister. Other survivors include nieces, nephews
of three generations, and she was loved by all. Patsy will be remembered by friends and all.

RALPH WILLIAMS JR. Ralph Milton Williams Jr., 93, of Mechanicsville, passed away peacefully and went home to be with God on April 9, 2015. He was born in Richmond on October 3, 1921, and will be remembered for his great sense of humor, love of animals and passion for music. He was a devoted husband, brother, uncle, great friend, loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He is survived by his wife and sweetheart of 69 years, Mary Perkins Williams, with whom he had an uncommon devotion and love; sister, Evelyn Castle, and her son, Gary, and wife, Renee; daughter, Donna Cornett, and her husband, David; daughter, Judy Coe, and her husband, Donnie; son, David Williams, and his wife, Amy; four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Ralph served in the Army during WWII as a high-speed radio operator, and returned home to meet his soulmate, Mary, on a blind date that lasted the rest of his life. He was an organist at Boulevard United Methodist
Church for over 30 years, and went on to continue to play as a guest pianist in churches well into his 90s. People would comment on how moving his music was and how much they enjoyed his playing. He retired from Sears Roebuck, where he designed custom kitchens for many years. He will be missed deeply by his
family, but we take comfort in knowing he is with God and his failing body will no longer bother him. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Monday, April 13, 2015, at the First Baptist Church at 800 Thompson Street in Ashland. Interment will be private in Riverview Cemetery for the immediate family at another

condition of the home prior to purchase, Ashley Peace said, “Nothing could prepare us for what we encountered during the actual restoration process.” Neither the mechanical or electrical systems, nor the bathrooms and kitchen, had been updated since the early 1950s. Restoration efforts included updating and replacing electrical and plumbing systems, drilling a new well, removing and replacing an asbestos-lined boiler and oil heating system, abating mold and removing asbestos wallboard, installing an HVAC system, demolishing and renovating bathrooms and kitchen, and performing an “unbelievable” amount of carpentry work to repair and replace damaged beams and trim. Many areas of the brick foundation were repaired and repointed, the front porch was rebuilt, the garage was converted to living space, and the interior and exterior were scraped and painted. The first phase of the restoration included everything that was necessary to stabilize the house and make it livable, but it did not include interior decorating, new patio, resto-
ration of wood windows and storms, relining of chimneys, installation of fireplace inserts, or other items on the expansive wish list. These were accomplished subsequently. Very recently, talented interior designer Patti Ryan of Williams and Sherrill has been working with Ashley to ensure the interior spaces are beautiful. Ashley and Chris Peace credit David Cooley of Restoration Builders of Virginia for much of the success in the historic restoration project. Cooley and his team brought to the project a lifetime of knowledge and experience renovating historic properties. Painter Danny Paxton repaired and repainted each of the 37 windows, which are one of the most important and defining features of the house and were one of the last projects to be completed. Reflecting on the restoration, Ashley Peace said, “Looking back, it is hard to comprehend all that has been accomplished.” Now that restoration of the home is complete, one might expect that the Peace family would be relaxing and basking in the fruits of their labors. However, work is continuing on the property.

Confederate pitching snuffs Freeman rally By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Just when Lee-Davis could relax in the thouht that they had victory secured, Douglas Freeman made it interesting. The Rebels rallied for three runs in the sixth inning, but the rally was one run short as the Confederates held on for a 4-3 victory Wednesday. Lee-Davis scored three runs in the first inning and added another in the fifth to take a 4-0 lead before Freeman’s Ethan Payne opened the top of the sixth with a single and Travis Stackow followed with a tworun home run. One out later, Luis Barrios singled and subsequently scored on a Confederate error. Lee-Davis coach Kenny Lewis said he wasn’t surprised the Rebels almost caught up to them. “They’re a very good team. They’re well coached, a quality opponent,” Lewis said. “We jumped on them early, but were very worried. They’ve got people in the lineup, obviously – that was proved to be correct – that could make this game close in a hurry. They did.” The Confederates’ starting pitcher, Adam Trice, allowed no runners the first two innings. But Douglas Freeman batters started touching him in the third inning, getting runners in

than-normal fast ball and some tough, long at-bats by determined Freeman hitters, said he was starting to tire by the sixth inning. “I told coach Lewis if I get into any trouble, go ahead and take me out, and [Stackow] put it out,” Trice said. He allowed a single to Barrios and a walk to Greene before Lewis called in Justin
Sorokowski to finish the inning. Sorokowski got Jake Gerkin to hit into a fielder’s choice. Gerkin advanced to second when the throw to get him at first base at the end of a would-be double play went wide and allowed him to reach second while Barrios scored on the same error. Sorkowski then got a groundout to end the inning. “I knew I could trust my
defense,” Sorokowski said. “I’ve just got to get those guys to ground out, pop up, something. I’ve just got to throw them off. I can’t throw fast balls down the middle. I’ve just got to mix it up.” Sorokowski retired the side in the seventh to end the game. “Their pitcher was in control of the game the first five innings – Adam Trice – and we

Raiders let victory slip away in final seconds By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – In a span of 18 seconds, Richmond made a big play that could have won the game, then gave up a big play that lost the game. The Raiders, after taking a 43-41 lead on a 13-yard pass from quarterback Jonathan Bane to wide receiver Gerron Bryant with 18 seconds left, gave up a 40-yard touchdown pass – from Columbus quarterback Casey Kacz to wide receiver Terrance Ebagua – with nine seconds left to fall 47-43 to the Lions at Richmond Coliseum Saturday night. Richmond (1-3) was plagued by missed opportunities all night. While the Raiders made their share of plays, they
periodically struggled to handle the Columbus (3-0) pass rush. Under pressure, quarterback Jonathan Bane was repeatedly forced to dump the ball – on a couple of ill-advised attempts in the first half, he was flagged for intentional grounding. Bane said, however, that he was the one who needed to improve. “[The offensive line] did a good job,” Bane said. “I need work on getting the ball out quicker. A couple of times I held on to the ball a little bit too long. … I take it on myself to find the open man. I didn’t do that a lot tonight, and that results in a loss.” Columbus head coach Jason Gibson said the addition of a key player, nose guard David Washington, helped deny Bane

time to read the field. “I thought David Washington made a huge difference at the nose,” Gibson said. “That was his first game. I thought the pressure he got on Jonathan [Bane] was good. You

know, their quarterback to me is one of the best in the league if not top two or three. So we needed pressure on him.” Bane said his receivers did a good job, though in the first half they struggled to handle a handful of good passes that would have led to big gains had they been hauled in. Nevertheless, Bane managed to connect for three touchdown
passes, a 22-yarder and a 15yarder to Ron Davis and a 28yard pass to Gerron Bryant. The Raiders’ defense stepped up the pressure on Columbus quarterback Casey Kacz in the second quarter, recovering a Kacz fumble that led to a 25yard field goal by Richmond quarterback T.C. Stevens. Later, Richmond defensive back Lynn Williams tipped a Kacz pass that teammate Kevin Allen hauled down, helping the Raiders take a 27-22 lead into the half. The Raiders had little time with the ball in the third quarter, coming away with only a 40-yard field goal by Stevens while the Lions scored two touchdowns to take a 34-30 lead. Neither team seemed ready to fold in the fourth quarter. After Columbus regained the lead with seconds left, the Raiders were in a position to come back before Bane threw
an interception to Marvin Ross in the Columbus end zone to end the game. “That’s how these games go,” said Richmond head coach James Fuller. “You’re never in a great position, especially with a one-score game. With 18 seconds left in the game, defensively we’ve got to make a play. … They go deep, we’ve definitely got to make the play and win the game.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

for the Toyota Owners 400 on April 25. “We’re just continuing to try to build better cars. That’s the constant fight that we’re in in our sport – staying on top of the game,” Hamlin said in another appearance at RIR on March 31. “We were so far behind … last year that it was going to take a long time for us to get back to being a race-winning organization every single week. … We’ve really shortened that curve here in the last few weeks.” Hamlin said the early season victory gives his team plenty of time to experiment. “We’ve got, really, three or four months now that we can start learning some different things, trying some different things, to make our cars handle better and run faster,” Hamlin said. “So this [win] takes a huge load off our shoulders as a team. … Our team isn’t executing very well right now. We’re struggling on pit road. We have all new mechanics and everything. This buys us some time to get better.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

School libraries aren’t just a place where students go to hear a story and check out a book anymore. I loved “library day” when I was in elementary school and surely missed those days as I moved into middle and high school.

I remember the library was always an exciting and fun place for to visit. The librarian always knew what great stories to read and books to introduce us to that would peak our interest. School libraries today are still that way, but also are different in so many ways. There are so many more opportunities in libraries in
this age of technology. Librarians are teachers, technology specialists, team players, and school leaders. They spend many hours collaborating with teachers on all grade levels, as well as administrators, to provide a well-rounded learning environment to all students on all levels. They are helping to develop 21st century learners
and leaders through the lessons, activities and programs they provide. Librarians also work every school year to create an atmosphere that is open, friendly and fun, and at the same time developing programs and events, then working to find funding for these programs. Librarians work hard to be sure that the entire school com-
munity — teachers, students, administrators and parents — are all involved with, and an active part of, the library program. As the members of these school communities, we need to advocate and support these school library programs, the librarians,and the schools they are in. Please remember our
school libraries and librarians, not only in the month of April, but all year long. The library is the heart of the school … come on in and “check them out.” Staci Smith Mechanicsville Henrico County Pre-K teacher Library Science student Old Dominion University

Gillis, Jr. / Ashland Branch Library 201 South Railroad Avenue, Ashland, VA 23005 Find out about the Hanover County Department of Public Works’ proposal to realign Woodside Lane approximately 100 feet west of its current intersection with Patrick Henry Road (Route 54) and Providence Church Road (Route 662).

Existing Woodside Lane will be demolished. The primary purpose of this project is to improve driver safety through these stretches of Town of Ashland and VDOT owned and maintained roads.
