Some of the criteria covered in the evaluation include a customer service element, attendance and overall job performance.

Wawa opening store on turnpike Planning officials confirm site under development between Lowe’s, bank By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com Local planning officials have confirmed that a site under development between Lowe’s and Union Market Bank, at the intersection of Compass Point Lane and the Mechanicsville Turnpike (U.S. 360), is the future site of a Wawa convenience store. According to Hanover County principal planner Mary Pennock, a site plan for the future Wawa was approved on March 20, and developers are “tying up a few loose ends” for a building permit. “They’re moving along,” Pennock said.

OPINION | The Local Views
High tech can lead to high anxiety
From the editor
School Board seat open for nominations Nominations are now being accepted by Canova Peterson, who represents the Mechanicsville District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, for the Hanover County School Board seat. Those interested need to contact Peterson by the May 14 regular meeting of the supervisors. Glenn Millican has held the Mechanicsville District seat on the School Board for 24 years. He has expressed his desire to continue to serve the county’s education needs. No reflection on the current member, but we encourage others who think they have “what it takes” to help lead Hanover County Public Schools to submit their names for consideration. In last week’s edition, Peterson admitted it won’t be an easy decision to make. This will be his first time appointing a School Board representative since taking office in January 2012. The supervisors will receive nominations on May 14, but, ultimately, the appointment will be made by Peterson. Again, if you believe you are “the” right candidate, get your name out there. That being said, this writer would be remiss without — yet again — stating support for an elected School Board. And that opinion doesn’t have anything to do with the Board of Supervisors. It’s about the voters — and what should be our decision in who serves and leads the education system in Hanover County. Whether this ever “sees the light of day” in a referendum is yet to be seen, but we have received calls and emails of support for an elected School Board. Most agree with us in saying that it’s about our choice and not anything derogatory concerning the supervisors. Although there are some who are less than kind in their references to the supervisors, but that’s another story. At any rate, if you have an interest or know of someone you think would represent the Mechanicsville District’s needs on the School Board, or if you’re satisfied with Millican’s years of service, then contact Peterson and be part of the decision-making process.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I heard one of those billion dollar teenage tech wizards on a recent business show stating the old ways of doing things are gone and today’s world is totally about high tech solutions, cyber interaction and social media. Now, that’s the vision of the future I never could quite understand. The speedy electric floating cars and computerized house cleaning I got a good idea of from the Jetsons, but I never could envision how humans would act in the totally automated, one swipe future. Over the years, I’ve watched movies where androids from the future
are often thrifty with words, short on interpersonal interaction and almost machine-like in their actions. Future cities always look like very quiet, barren, non-distinct architectures with no traffic jams, or folks jabbering on the street. Point is, we may be heading to a point where those fantasies become reality if you take this guy’s word for what lies ahead for humankind. And his theory may hold more water than I originally considered, as I study my fellow earthlings in recent situations. Heads are usually bowed, intently flipping through their mobile devices. Interaction with other specimens is sparse, at best, and all action is mingled with regular return visits to
the hand-held device. Students don’t take notes. They take photos or record teachers’ lectures with their iPhones, admittedly more efficient than pen and paper. Yes, this tech savvy youngster on a national cable news show had it all figured out, and, surprisingly or perhaps not, was counting his millions well before his 25th birthday. And while I agree that technology will eventually change our everyday lives, people becoming non-communicative and eliminating the need for real human interaction is a resulting theory I don’t buy. Which brings me to a new phesee TECH, pg. 8

Delegate says he’s committed to state’s education system As your state delegate, I am committed to investing and improving Virginia’s K-12 education system. Over the last nine years, Virginia has increased funding statewide to public education by nearly $1 billion. At the same time, members of the General Assembly have worked to steward this money efficiently and effectively. By enacting a number of reforms, Virginia is now spending more money directly in the classroom. In fact, nearly 65 percent of all public education dollars are spent in classrooms where are students receive instruction. I am particularly proud of my good relationship with our school superintendents Jamelle Wilson, Rick Richardson and Mark Jones. Last year was dubbed by many as the “Year of the Teacher” in the General Assembly. The legislature provided funding for a two percent teacher pay raise, created a “Teacher Cabinet” to advise on educator-related issues, and implemented a strategic compensation program created by teachers from Salem, Va. This year, your General Assembly worked to build on those reforms by passing legislation that significantly reforms the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests. This initiative, championed by the House of Delegates, reduces the number of tests students must take in grades three through
eight from 22 to 17, and improves the SOLs by emphasizing problem solving and critical thinking skills necessary for quality employment. I successfully patroned legislation to help create a Governor’s School for Career and Technical Education and to provide greater information to consumer students and parents about the return on investment in higher education. These reforms are working. Despite less cumulative per pupil spending than in 2009, Virginia students are scoring better today on standardized tests and college entrance exams, and Virginia now ranks as the fourth best public education system in the country, according to the Education see LETTERS, pg. 8

was once called the real world, the face-to-face personal interactions that provide the most reward in life. It’s a world where texting is replaced with talking, and relationships are touchable and up-close. An atmosphere where online personas are replaced with real and tangible attributes may provide a much more valuable experience than chatting online.
Perhaps, it’s just a question of how to achieve the perfect blend of new technology and tried and true personal interaction that will provide the ultimate solution to a tech crazy world. The simple reality is the beauty and sounds of a spring meadow cannot be recreated in a virtual environment, and photos of glowing fireplaces will never supply the warmth
and security of the real thing. Many of life’s most enriching moments are not cyber based. And, perhaps, a man who made billions with high tech innovative thinking and a more than stubborn will to succeed said it best. “I believe in the triumph of humanity with a little help from technology,” Twitter co-founder Biz Stone recently said. True that.
our investment in public education. In fact, the House has urged the Senate to separate Medicaid expansion from the budget so we can pass a budget that provides the funding for our schools and raises pay for teachers. Unfortunately, the Senate refuses to do so. The Governor and Senate’s decision to delay the entire state budget over Medicaid expansion is already having a negative impact on our school systems. Without a state budget, school boards cannot make informed decisions about hiring teachers or planning for the next year. In Roanoke City, the school board was forced to adopt two calendars for next year because of the uncertainty caused by the budget gridlock. I am hopeful that we can reach an agreement on the budget in Richmond, but if you
believe that maintaining high quality schools is important then we need to pass a “clean” budget without expanding Medicaid. We need to act now so that our schools and students can move forward. Join me in signing the petition to pass a budget now at www.passthebudgetterry.com and contact the Governor and Democratic Senate members let them know how important it is to pass a budget quickly.

where hunting is illegal, barking dogs are illegal and shooting a gun is illegal. Why do they figure people living outside the subdivisions would like to be disturbed on Sundays? It’s bad enough we “nonsubies” have to put up with the shooting and barking dogs six days a week during hunting season. The bill makes it illegal to shoot within 200 yards of a place of worship. Don’t they know that 200 yards is only a par 3 on a golf course? You can hear a golf club strike the golf ball at 200 yards and they figure a gunshot will not be heard in the church. Somebody needs to get a life, VOTE NO on things affecting others and not affecting you. I for one do not want to sit on my deck on Sunday afternoon and have someone shooting 300 feet away.

could to get Eli “into our world.” I was hoping with enough therapy we could change him and make a difference. I am happy to report that all of the speech therapy, occupational therapy, special education, etc., has made a huge difference but I bELIeve that the biggest victory is that we stopped trying to put Eli into “our world” and we accepted entering “his unique world.” Some of the past years and days have been really ugly and challenging for my family. There were (and still are) days where Eli has difficulties with developing relationships with peers or has a “meltdown” simply because his daily routine has changed.
Situations where most kids can “go with the flow” can be very challenging for Eli to say the least. But I will let you in on a little secret: Autism isn’t always bad. You see, Eli and many children with ASD have a beautiful and unique view of the world. Just the other day Eli commented how the road that we were traveling on was “beautiful” because someone had paved it and now it was no longer bumpy. I didn’t even notice it. I had driven on the road every day and never noticed that the road was now nice and smooth because someone paved it that day. This is a common daily occurrence I have with Eli --
whether he is pointing out how Target has painted their doors a different prettier color or how Dunkin Donuts has changed their doorknobs or telling a waitress at a restaurant after he orders that he simply “likes her and she is pretty.” He points out the daily beauties in life that most of us overlook all the time. I love being in “his world” and, yes, at times it is challenging and very different from what I imagined but I am so thankful for it! Please join my family and me in being part of Eli’s and many other wonderful children’s world by participating in the Autism Society Central Virginia 5K run/walk on Saturday, May
24. In the words of Winnie the Pooh, these children are “braver than you bELIeve, stronger than they seem and smarter than you think!” With a lot of support from friends and family, I raised over $8,000 last year! I even won the highest fundraiser award for the third year running. I bELIeve we can do it again! All funds raised from this event will provide much needed support to families and individuals living with autism in the greater Richmond area. I hope you will consider supporting Team bELIeve in one of

difference in the autism community. My husband Nathan and I were very fortunate and had recognized early signs when Eli was a baby. He was not talking, showed little eye contact, and was experiencing many sensory issues. We were able to seek out early interventions through our amazing community, Hanover County, that has contributed to Eli’s success. When we officially received Eli’s diagnosis I felt like it was a death sentence, but after some time mourning we “dug our heels in” and tried everything we

Holloway replaces Moore as HAAC executive director Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Hanover Arts & Activities Center is welcoming a leadership transition, but it didn’t have to look too far to find its next executive director. After two years as executive director, Tayloe Moore will leave the Center to become development manager for the Virginia Baptist Homes Foundation. Moore has led the Center as important renovations were made to the 155-year-old facility, including a new roof and exterior painting. The Center hosted numerous successful programs, including the 2013 “Ashland’s Bandstand: Raise the Roof ” Variety Show,
annual Railroad Run, Fourth of July celebration, first ever Off the Rails Craft Beer Festival and programs marking Black History Month in 2014. Moore’s last day on the job was Friday, April 25. Replacing her is Sara Holloway, who has served as a volunteer at the Center for three years, including the last two as Center board president. Holloway, who will leave her position as special events scheduler at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, is described as being well suited to take on duties as executive director.

makes you feel guilty. What makes you think that God will change his mind about what is or is not a sin and whether it applies today as it did then? Is it because it’s popular or “Politically Correct” to accept the deviant behavior of homosexuals? If this is what you think, then the rape and sodomy that takes place in prisons should be accepted as natural and justified. And what’s next, the acceptance of Man-Boy sex? Where do you draw the line? Or do you have a line? These people are to be pitied and prayed for, not placed on a pedestal or given special privilege and recognition. If you believe in the Bible’s Gospel, then you know why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. Like Ms. Townsend and millions of others, I believe that
the Bible is and always will be a directive from God, as a life’s guide so that we, the children of God, may try to avoid the pitfalls of deliberate sin, then as-well-as today. No one is free of sin, not since Jesus Christ walked the earth, but we are expected to avoid these temptations. Satan wants us to accept these ways and especially wants us to join in. This is unacceptable to the teachings of God and the Holy Bible says so. Our bodies were created in His image and a “Temple unto Him” not to be destroyed or defiled by homosexual activity or body piercings or tattooing. If you don’t believe it – read it and weep! May God forgive you for attacking Ms. Townsend and bless you for resisting the temptation to retaliate. Tom Jernigan Mechanicsville

The National Day of Prayer will be observed at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow (Thursday, May 1) at the Historic Polegreen Church site at 6411 Heatherwood Drive in Mechanicsville. The Foundation and its community partners will commemorate the 63rd annual National Day of Prayer by meeting at the site significant to the Great Awakening and the struggle for civil liberties and religious freedom. In many ways, executive director Chris Peace said, Polegreen is “the cradle of religious freedom,” and all are invited to visit the site to learn more about the first freedoms enjoyed as Americans. The program will run about an hour and is free to the public. Organized in 2008, this commemorative community program is co-sponsored by several organizations and will represent various walks of life in the community. Past events have welcomed clergy and lay representatives from Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center, the Virginia State Police and several local churches. Visitors will enjoy prayers offered by community representatives for the nation, government and military. The ecumenical event has been well attended by community leaders. Patrick Henry, one of America’s most influential patriots well known for his “Give me liberty or give me death” speech, credits his oratory skills to listening to the Rev. Samuel Davies. For 12 years, Henry’s mother Sarah took young Patrick to listen to Davies at Polegreen. Davies delivered his sermons with great conviction and often spoke of the freedom of conscience and individual liberty.
After services, legend has it that Henry would recite those sermons back to his mother on their way home to nearby Studley Plantation. Sarah’s dissent from the established church was particularly noteworthy considering that her brother-in-law and Henry’s namesake was the local Anglican minister. In recent years, the Foundation has enhanced the site with a visitors’ center and office building, new hardscaped pathways and improved outdoor lighting. Polegreen also is a proud partner in the Road to Revolution Heritage Trail (www.roadtorevolution.org), which honors those significant men

Admitted arsonist may serve only 10 months in jail By Bill McKelway Richmond Times-Dispatch A college-bound Hanover County man whose guilty pleas to three arson charges could have generated a 40-year prison sentence is expected to be freed from jail in about 10 months. In an hours-long sentencing hearing on Thursday, April 24, delayed from a December appearance when convicted arsonist Jacob G. Spiro, now 20, apparently suffered a nervous breakdown. Spiro was revealed as a mentally troubled young man who bragged of wanting to kill schoolmates and who obsessed over early college acceptances. Hanover County prosecutor Shari Skipper described Spiro as someone who willfully terrorized his Kings Charter sub-
division in 2012, setting three fires, including one in which a mother and her children were put at risk and another that destroyed the Kings Charter community center. Restitution will amount to nearly $1 million. “We’re not here to fix his mental illness. We’re here because of what he did,” Skipper told Hanover Circuit Judge J. Overton Harris. But Harris, obviously moved by Spiro’s ordeal and restored condition, sentenced him to 15 years, suspending all but three years on a conviction of setting fire to an occupied building. Spiro, jailed since August 2012, could be released in 10 months. The arsons, to which the former Atlee High School student pleaded guilty last July,
were the work of a young man who confessed to a friend who had been fitted with a wire by investigators. SPIRO
“There was no recorded telephone call of him showing remorse,” Skipper said, referring to monitored jail phone calls and describing Spiro as “a felon and a serial arsonist.” But defense lawyer Craig Evans, using mental health experts, portrayed Spiro as a brilliant student whose com-
pulsiveness degenerated to a near-psychotic state that led to bizarre behaviors but fell short of legal insanity. Spiro’s mother, Vicki Ferris, tearfully described the guilt she feels over allowing her son to use marijuana at home because it relieved his anxiety, sleeplessness and helped him focus. Experts said the marijuana use clouded their ability to clearly isolate the reason behind his mental condition. “Everyone talks like he’s a helpless child. He did this because he wanted to,” Skipper argued. But a psychologist and Dr. Evan Nelson stressed that Spiro, in fact, was becoming increasingly psychotic and part of his illness dealt not only with paranoia but also with the notion that nothing was wrong with him.

more months at the Pamunkey Regional Jail. When released he will remain on indeterminate probation requiring medical care and medications. “Our son deeply regrets his actions and accepts full responsibility,” Vicki Ferris said in a statement she released Thursday, thanking Kings Charter residents for their understanding and Central State for helping her son. “There are significant barriers to getting a teenager hospitalized once he’s turned 18, even when it’s obvious that help is desperately needed … Illness robbed him of many of his hard sought-after goals but because of the appropriate help he finally received we fully believe in him and his ability to overcome any challenge to a promising future.”

He had few friends, got little sleep, handled a crushing load of school work and dealt with a compulsion to excel. The fires were set simply for the rush, they testified. Spiro’s deterioration after his arrest and his failure to regularly get medications in jail culminated in an explosive sentencing hearing in December that had to be postponed. Spiro screamed and yelled from a holding cell area and refused to take part in the hearing. Judge Harris, recalling the tragedy of the Gus Deeds suicide case last year in western Virginia and the fear that sending Spiro to prison would simply result in the deepening of his mental illness, settled on a sentence that apparently will see Spiro serve about 10
Virginia House of Delegates Speaker William J. Howell recently appointed Del. Christopher K Peace (R-Hanover) to the Virginia Housing Commission. The mission of the Virginia Housing Commission is to study and provide recommendations to ensure and foster the availability of safe, sound and affordable housing for every Virginian.

As a member of the General Laws Committee, I am tasked with deliberating over many bills that impact the housing industry. Additionally I work with affordable housing advocacy groups.

He said the cleared debris piled on the sides served as a berm to halt stray bullets, but the safety measures fell well short. “The top of the berm is level with their line of sight (and fire), so one stray bullet would be over the top of the berm,” he said.

Chairman Sean Davis, Henry District, who met with Giannasi and Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, earlier in regard to the matter, told Giannasi that the Commonwealth Attorney said tannerite explosions are illegal in Hanover County under current state code. “Tannerite is covered under explosive devices and is a chargeable offense,” Davis said. “That’s a matter for law enforcement and the Commonwealth’s Attorney, but it doesn’t seem to be a matter that would be taken up under the noise ordinance.” Giannasi said he is more concerned with the noise ordi-
nance violations that increased repeated firearm discharge creates. “I’m a supporter of the Second Amendment, but this is definitely a quality of life issue. The degradation of quality of life is definitely there,” he said. Giannasi said things like a cat’s meow or horn blowing are covered in the ordinance, but “I don’t see homemade bombs or repeated firearm discharge on the list (of violations).” Davis said the county would continue to monitor complaints regarding tannerite and its discharge in the county. Giannasi “implored” board members to put “some teeth” in the current noise ordinance. “The repeated discharge of firearms degrades the quality of life on a Saturday or Sunday; it surely does.”

Currently, no county
employees received the lowest rating on the proposed new scale. The new plan established the new category that would provide partial raises for employees rated in the sub proficient category, 2.50 to 2.99 on the new scale. County administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. said the question of consistently low performing employees is handled in a straightforward fashion. “This is an annual tool we use, but we don’t wait if we’ve got someone that is not measuring up,” Harris said. “We meet
throughout the year with all those employees, develop a corrective action plan and create a timeline for that corrective action and it’s measured,” he said. The consequences also are simple. “Either you come up to the appropriate standards, or we help you find the appropriate place to expand your career,” Harris said. The supervisors approved the changes to the current employee policy. The new system will be phased in over the next two years.

Police investigating threat at King William High School BY REED WILLIAMS Richmond Times-Dispatch
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

One Hanover County resident told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors that he’d had enough when it comes to continual gunfire in his usually peaceful Henry District neighborhood. Larry Giannasi said a recent weekend’s continued shooting of standard and automatic weapons crossed the line when it comes to public safety and quality of life. He told the supervisors that the problem of continued and repeated discharge of firearms escalated last fall, but a recent incident reinforced his concerns. While sitting in his home, Giannasi said he was startled by
a barrage of gunfire and explosions coming from one specific location. “The discharge began at 11:15 a.m. and was repeated with no interruption with explosions occurring every 15 minutes that shook my home,” Giannasi said. “I knew they were multiple caliber weapons from the change in pitch. I had a good idea where the firing was coming from,” he added. After scouting out the source of the continuing fire, he cordially confronted a group of men gathered on the property to fire weapons. And he said that array of weapons included everything from pistols to assault rifles, all displayed on tables set up in the make shift shooting range. He said an area of land had been cleared on the uninhabited

Casey faces big decisions on and off mound By Danny Polk For The Mechanicsville Local When this year’s Major League Baseball draft is over, one of Hanover High School’s own, Derek Casey, will have a big decision on his hands. The Hawks’ ace pitcher is ranked by some experts among the top 50 high school prospects in the country, and is projected to be drafted as high as the top five rounds. Casey, a right-hander who stands at 6 feet, 1 inch, boasts a 94 mph fastball – one of the highest velocities among pitchers in this years’ draft class. He is committed to pitch for the University of Virginia, which is currently ranked No. 1 in the country. “I think his potential is limitless. Depending on how he continues to grow, I think he’s got the ability to play at a really high level,” Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum said, “I know he’s good enough to play professional baseball, but whether he makes the big leagues will depend on his health and how much better he can get.” Over the past year Casey has met with nearly every big league team – the lone exception being the Baltimore Orioles. “They all come into my house and give me the whole spiel about how their organization works,” Casey said, “The only advice they really give me

Derek Casey (left) may be one of Hanover High School’s top college prospects — he’s committed to the University of Virginia — but he is also one of the top prospects for this year’s Major League Baseball draft.
is to not pay attention to them when they’re at the games. They don’t want me throwing to a radar gun, they want me to pitch as if they’re not there.” Casey was the front man
in Hanover’s Group AAA state championship run a season ago. He pitched all three games in the state tournament, including a complete game shutout in the quarterfinals, a save in the
semifinal, and six innings of the title game with Great Bridge High School. In his four years, Casey has thrown 142 innings and surrendered just 16 earned runs
– six of those in his 11 innings freshman year. His ERA was sub-one in both his sophomore and junior seasons – 0.481 and .778, respectively – and he’s well on the way to doing that again
this year. Through six outings for the Hawks in 2014, Casey is 5-0 and has given up just 10 hits, notched 46 strikeouts, and given up just one earned run in 25 innings for an ERA of 0.280. “Each year he seems to have grown and worked on his game, not reinventing himself, but he’s recognized his shortcomings and has continued to get better over the course of the four seasons,” Dragum said, “His velocity has had big gains each of the four years and he’s become a competitor over that time too.” Casey’s biggest jump in velocity came after his freshman year, when according to him, “It just clicked.” “Going into my freshman year I was about 80-83 mph. That summer I was up to 8889 mph,” he said, “After all the hard work it all made sense.” Should Casey choose to go to college first, his goal is to make an immediate contribution for the Cavaliers while improving his draft stock. Per MLB rules, if he attends Virginia he will not be eligible to re-enter the draft until after his junior season. “I want to get some playing time as a freshman, maybe close some,” he said, “Of course I’m shooting for the stars, I want to start, but that all depends

Logano earns victory in wild finish at RIR By David Halstead For The Mechanicsville Local
For more race coverage, go to mechlocal.com
There were plenty of sparks and flames flying Saturday night during the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway. By the end of the night, Joey Logano took the checkered flag in the Sprint Cup Race. Jeff Gordon, the current points leader, finished second and Kyle Busch came in third. Logano took advantage of a late caution to jump in front in the final 10 laps. “What a crazy finish,” Logano said. “I had a really bad restart and thought I screwed up and wasn’t going to win. It was pretty cool to finish first at a racetrack where you’re not used to winning.” The action got started early on the first lap with pole-sitter Kyle Larson getting spun out by Clint Bowyer on the first turn. Larson had to return to the back of the field, but climbed his way back to the front to finish in 16th. “I really hate that happened,” Dave Lawrence/The Local Bowyer said. “I really like Kyle Joey Logano weilds the steering wheel like a battle axe after a dramatic victory in the Toyota Owners 400 Saturday and I’m a big fan of his.

Kyle Busch, who finished in third in both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races, said that he was satisfied with his finish. Busch bolted up to the front in the final laps after hanging around the middle of the pack for the majority of the night. “I have no idea the last 10 laps, I have absolutely no clue,” Busch said. “I started 16th and finished third – that’s about all I know. It was pretty crazy with everything going on. I was shaking in my seat just because of how fast I was passing guys.” Jeff Gordon ran in the front for most of the night and led the most laps with 173, but couldn’t make a final push at Logano in the closing laps. “To come home second is still a great finish,” Gordon said. “I would’ve liked to have seen a longer run because we were really good with 20 laps to go ... when our car really seemed see LOGANO, pg. 37
Harvick gets another Nationwide win By David Halstead For The Mechanicsville Local After a rain delay lasting more than three hours, Kevin Harvick emerged through the fog to win the ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond International Raceway early this morning. Harvick took the checkered flag just after midnight in a race that was scheduled to begin just after 7 p.m., but which did not go green until 10:26 p.m.

Harvick took over the lead from pole-sitter Brian Scott at lap 43 and held on to it until he had to pit for new tires on lap 132. Harvick regained the lead on lap 134 and never relinquished it. In total, Harvick led 202 laps on the night. “There were definitely a few adjustments during the race, but all-in-all, I ran as hard as I could every lap,” Harvick said. The drivers had to maneuver through dense fog that covered

the track throughout most of the race. Most said that it didn’t affect them too much. “It was noticeable under caution but that was really about it,” Chase Elliott said. “It was good to get in the race tonight and it was probably better for TV also to get the race in on Friday night.” Elliott, who won the past two Nationwide Series races finished in second with Kyle Busch taking third place. Kyle Larson fin-
ished in fourth and Scott came in fifth. Elliott still leads in points by 19 over Reagan Smith and 23 over Elliot Sadler. “I hate that we didn’t get the win tonight, but it is good to have a teammate get to victory lane.” Elliott said of his JR Motorsports teammate. “We gave it our best Dave Lawrence/The Local effort and didn’t have enough Kevin Harvick, in the No. 5 Tide Chevrolet, held off Chase Elliott, to beat Kevin, but we will take in the No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet, in the final laps of the ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond International Raceway Saturday.

Patrick Henry needs big inning to beat Atlee By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch Patrick Henry jumped out to an early lead, lost it, then used a four-run fifth to take it back before leaving Atlee with an 8-4 win Wednesday in a matchup of two T-D top 10 softball teams. The Patriots, ranked No.4, scored two runs in the second inning when starting pitcher Candace Whittemore gave herself some early run-support with a two-RBI double, scoring Taylor Prokopis and Beth Ford. The No.8 Raiders answered with a three-run third. Catcher Cameron Hall, who made a heads-up defensive play in the Patrick Henry half of the third when she caught a foul ball beside the third-base line and threw out a runner at first for the double play, blasted a solo home run over the left-field wall for Atlee’s second hit and first run of the game. Mattie Fitzgerald singled in Raine Wilson, who had doubled, to tie the game at two. Annamarie Warley then drove in the go-ahead run with a single before the inning ended with Atlee leading 3-2.
Whittemore knew she had to forget about it and keep pitching. “I can’t really let it get to me,” the junior and secondteam All-Metro pitcher last year said, “because then my pitching would go down, then I’d let the team down.” She didn’t let them down. Whittemore scattered a few more hits and surrendered an unearned run before finishing with seven strikeouts and the win. Her teammates didn’t let her down, either. The Patriots scored four runs in the fifth. With the bases loaded and one out, Grayson Radcliffe hit a RBI single up the middle to tie the game. The Raiders brought in freshman Peyton St. George to replace sophomore Laura Kate Moss in the circle, and Kendall Thomas welcomed her with a three-run double to put Patrick Henry ahead 6-3. “I was a little nervous with a new pitcher coming in,” Thomas said, “but Ashley (Samuels) and Grayson (Radcliffe) came over and gave me a little pep talk and
I was just able to help the team out with a nice double.” Their pep talk included a tip to look outside. Thomas said when she watched the first two go by outside, she knew the third would be there as well. Atlee scored a fourth run in the sixth when Shelby Hill tripled, then came home when Blair Jones reached on an error Dean Hoffmeyer/Times-Dispatch by the Patriots center fielder.

Mitchum, Hawks tame Glen Allen’s Jaguars By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local The Hanover softball team spends much of its practice time working on hitting. The Hawks, ranked No. 2 in The T-D Top 10, did a fine job swinging the bats in their first game back from spring break. They stroked nine hits in a 5-0 shutout of Glen Allen Tuesday night at Glen Allen. Seven of the hits, four in the first inning and three in the second, led to four runs and put the sixth-ranked Jaguars in a hole too deep from which to escape. “They found holes early and put up runs early,” Glen Allen coach Layne Nuckols said. Seven Hawks collected hits. Maura Long and Kaylyn Shepherd had two each. Pitcher Kiandra Mitchum reached base twice on walks and had a hit. Erin Watkins, running in Mitchum’s stead, scored three times. “We just focus a lot on hitting. Our hitting, I can’t stress enough of how important that is and we’ve done a good job of spreading our hits up and down the lineup,” Hanover coach
Stephanie Acors said. “It gives you a lot of confidence when you need to push a run across. Our number nine hitter can get the job done just as easy as our number one hitter.” Mitchum opened the game with a walk. Catcher Maura Long followed with an RBI triple to the right-field corner. “I always bunt. That’s always my thing because Ki always gets on base first so getting the hit was awesome,” Long said. “That was like my first legit hit of the season. “ One out later, Shepherd drove Long home with a single to right. Lacey Sullivan and Jessica McLaughlin sandwiched hits around an out to load the bases, but Emily Wyatt grounded to Jaguars pitcher Brianna Tarzia to end the inning. Hanover’s pair of runs in the second inning came on three hits, a Glen Allen error and an RBI groundout by Shepherd, who picked up her third RBI of the night in the fourth inning. Shepherd, the first baseman, had a stellar night on defense as well. Mitchum was her usual self on the mound. She gave up two hits, struck out seven batters
and walked one. The Jaguars spent most of the night hitting the ball in the air. “She is a smart pitcher. She got ahead in the count on most of our batters and then out worked out of the zone from there,” Nuckols said. “Our hit-
ters chased on two strikes, and we couldn’t get good wood on the ball.” The Hawks are 6-0. The Jaguars dipped to 5-3 with the three losses coming to teams (Cosby, Lee-Davis and Hanover) ranked higher in the
Mitchum to CNU
T-D poll. “After the second inning, our pitcher pretty much shut them down,” Nuckols said. Down the road, “defensively we’re very solid, we just have to put the bat on the ball and give ourselves more of an opportu-
nity (to score). We can’t win if we can’t score.” Hanover 220 100 0 — 5 9 0 Glen Allen 000 000 x — 0 2 2 Mitchum and Long. Tarzia and Black. W — Mitchum. L — Tarzia. Records: Hanover 6-0; Glen Allen 5-3.
