As Hanover County residents prepare to celebrate the Independence Day holiday, Hanover County Fire-EMS wants to be sure that citizens are aware of the laws regulating fireworks and their proper use.

In Virginia it is illegal to sell,

Lee-Davis High School DECA has operated its studentrun school store known as the “Spirit Shop” for more than 16 years.

The school-based enterprise was expanded to include a satellite operation this year — the “Spirit Shack” is open during all home football games.

A school-based enterprise (SBE) is an entrepreneurial

operation in a school setting that provides goods and services to meet the needs of the market.

SBEs are managed and operated by students as hands-on learning laboratories that integrate National Curriculum Standards in Marketing, Finance, Hospitality and Management.

Marketing educators and DECA advisors have utilized this effective educational tool for over four decades to provide their students with realistic and practical learning experiences that reinforce classroom instruction, enhance 21st century skill development, and prepare students for college and careers.

DECA’s School-based Enterprise Certification Program was developed to provide recognition for outstanding achievement by school-based enterprises and to motivate SBEs to strive for excellence and growth.

SBEs can be certified at three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold. In order to apply for the

certification, SBEs must submit extensive documentation that demonstrates their adherence to various marketing and retail standards. After the documentation is submitted, a review committee evaluates the documentation to determine which level of certification has been achieved.

DECA Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit student organization with more than 200,000 members in all 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Canada, China, Germany, Guam, Hong Kong, Korea, Mexico and Puerto Rico.

OPINION | The Local Views

What happened in 7th District?

From the editor

Class reunion proves you can go home again A few weeks ago, Tommy Thompson, considered by many as Mechanicsville’s unofficial mayor (since we aren’t an incorporated town), called about getting out some information about his upcoming class reunion. As mine was fast approaching, I told him I too was preparing for one. To our surprise, we both graduated from high school in 1974.

He was excited to share the news about his Lee-Davis High School class reuniting. For those who graduated with Thompson in 1974, you can RSVP on a Facebook page dedicated to the class at www.facebook.com/leedavisclassof74reunion. The group will gather on Sept. 27.

Yours truly traveled to West Virginia for two of the three days (June 20-22) of reunion events. Admittedly, there was a modicum of ambivalence about attending. One of my best friends makes her home in Southern California, so it provided an opportunity to spend some time with her.

I hadn’t attended a “major” reunion since 1984 when I still resided in Logan, West Virginia. So, there were mixed emotions about the whole reunion scenario.

Well, the experience proved to this nine-year resident of Virginia that you can go home again. I actually realized while there that I kept referring to Mechanicsville as home in conversation. The same can be said here when talking about Logan.

Life is good here, but there’s a connection, a unique bond with the people I graduated with in 1974. I learned Saturday night that we were the 60th class to graduate from Logan High.

I know I’m fortunate for the life and friends I have made since arriving in the Ville in 2008. Like my hometown, it is a special place. And I’ll most likely continue to refer to Mechanicsville and Logan both as home.

As for the reunion, it was great to renew friendships and become acquainted with members of the class I didn’t know “back in the day.” There were 396 members in our class. The paths we have chosen are varied but we share a common connection — just like the Lee-Davis group will discover in the fall — as members of the class of 1974.

In closing, being part of that reunion was well worth the drive west.

July 2, 2014

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Virginia politics is getting a little like Florida weather. If you don’t like it, stick around . . . it’ll change in a few minutes.

David Brat’s recent upset victory over incumbent Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor shook the national political ground, and every pundit weighed in on just why and how the upset happened.

After each and every one failed to predict the landmark election, they all took a shot at telling us just what happened in Virginia’s 7th District on Tuesday, June 10.

Problem was, none of them had a clue.

And as a local reporter, I didn’t either, but, on reflection, the upset seemed far less earth-shattering than I first thought. Signs that I had missed now seemed obvious, and hints along the way that could have revealed the obvious seem clearer.

So, as national experts repeated their reasoning over and over, I was skeptical. Did Eric Cantor lose the election because he was soft on immigration? I’m not sure that tells the entire story.

For months, a dedicated, devoted and high-energy group of citizens entered a contest they refused to con-

cede and proved that politics is still local. Earlier this year I received several emails from this very group of citizens updating me on the happenings at the local Republican convention.

“They booed Cantor off the stage,” one email read.

Now, I had covered previous Cantor campaigns where Democratic hope was eternal and this had to be the year we got rid of the incumbent representative . . . but it never happened.

So, what changed this year? Local Republicans achieved what Democrats and thousands of political dollars couldn’t in previous years of trying. see 7TH, pg. 8

LETTERS | Reader Views tion I received was apparently false.

As I stated previously, there is a lack of competition in Hanover, thus giving Comcast a monopoly on high speed internet. I believe the residents of this county deserve to (Editor’s note: The following was addressed to Sean Davis, know exactly why that is. Thanks!

Mr. Davis, thank you for taking the time to address the lack of cable availability in the more rural areas of Hanover County.

If anyone states something to the contrary, it is simply not accurate.”

On your Associate of Science Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology, Cum Laude from ECPI University.

Could it be that the American political system worked just as it should, and the citizens of the 7th District decided it was time for a change?

The speech at the convention by Cantor was the last straw for many of them, who hit the streets running with energy and passion, something the Cantor campaign had neither of.

These citizens did not depend on national money or endorsements and ignored poll-

zens coming up in September.

We are well protected by the best Sheriff ’s Office anywhere in the country. They are knowledgeable about how the laws are to be enforced, yet they are compassionate sometimes about not writing tickets and just give warnings. They are professional in every way.

For such a small county compared to surrounding counties, we have our own dive team, crisis negotiations team, SWAT team and other special units that I wasn’t aware of.

Also, we have a first class County Emergency Communications Unit that didn’t cost the citizens a dime to obtain.

Thank you Col. David R. Hines, sheriff; Deputy Jim McLaughlin and all the other deputies that put this class

sters who had Cantor up by 40 points heading into last week’s primary election.

And Brat showed that an accessible candidate can work amazing magic when paired against an incumbent who hadn’t held a town hall meeting in five years.

And Cantor proved that money couldn’t buy an election, despite his best efforts to glorify the opposite.

On the morning of the primary, Cantor was in Washington, D.C., having breakfast at Starbucks with a

group of lobbyists and cronies.

Some media outlets reported that Cantor’s campaign spent more on steak than Brat’s team spent on the entire campaign.

But, the real red meat was on his opponent’s side, which took each insult from Cantor with renewed dedication to elect their candidate.

No matter the result, the process was refreshing as citizens ruled the day in a voting process that worked the way the Founders envisioned.

In the end, the underdogs got what they wanted, a goal

achieved through hard work and putting political boots on the ground.

To all of us who thought money and corruption ruled politics — even on a local level — the upset meant more.

The voice of the American voter is alive and well, unencumbered by big donations or PACs (political action committees), undeterred by national political trends, and tuned in specifically on their local priorities.

At least, that’s true in the fighting 7th District of Virginia.

Lawyer ads’ claims at issue

You would get 23 1/3 more by dealing directly with the insurance company.

I think I would go to the insurance company first and get a proposed settlement amount.

Then go to a lawyer and say, “This is their offer, guarantee me that I get more after you deduct your 33 1/3 and you get the case.”

Just asking, but it seems strange to me that the insurance companies do not make an advertising counter attack if they are paying out more than the claim is worth.

After hundreds of years of insurance claims, I’m sure there is a menu of settlement amounts for legitimate claims but -- if you want to scam the insurance company -- you definitely may need some help.

I’m sure there is something I am missing in the TV ads but being from West Virginia I just can’t figure it out.

By the way, I am also working with authorities to stop the West Virginia jokes as we find them disparaging to Native Appalachian Americans.

Ted Mentz Old Church

Thanks given for budget Thank you, Del. Chris Peace and the rest of the General Assembly, for passing a budget, avoiding a government shutdown and making the extremely tough choices given the state’s possible budget shortfall. Although I know that some elected officials are not as responsive to their constituents, Del. Peace has always responded to my emails and calls to his office.

Thank you, Del. Peace, for voting to support your district and for always being mindful of the people who have voted you into office.

Debbie Blanchard Aylett

Just a thought, but has anyone before me questioned why the insurance companies do not retaliate against the law firms who advertise daily that the insurance companies will take advantage of you if you file a claim without a lawyer?

Could it be that the insurance companies are happy with the results when handled by a lawyer?

After all, the lawyer fees come out of your settlement.

Think about it. Insurance companies are not dummies; they know what a claim is worth as well as law firms know what a claim is worth.

Supposing your lawyer and the insurance company both agree a claim is worth a certain amount.

Maybe you and the insurance company would have come to the same conclusion.

The difference is that your lawyer gets 33 1/3 percent of your money.

Assuming the insurance company would only rip you off for 10 percent.

in English. She served in the U.S. Marine Corps Women’s Reserve during World War II from 1943 to 1945. She was stationed at Camp Lejeune, and then at Goleta Marine Corps Base in Santa Barbara, California. She returned to Camp Lejeune for officer training school, where she was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. She was then stationed at Quantico as Personnel Officer of the airstrip. She was later promoted to 1st Lieutenant, and her last tour of duty was in the Bureau of Records in Washington, D.C. After World War II, she went back to the University of Illinois, earning her Master of Arts degree in 1948. She taught at the university while working on her masters and then doctorate degrees, and also met Jack Gorman Sjogren during this time. They married on Jan. 28, 1950, and had four children. His career in advertising took them to several locations

around the country, including Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Dallas, Texas; Ocala, Florida; Virginia Beach and Murrysville (Pittsburgh), Pennsylvania.

Dona taught elementary school in Virginia Beach and high school in Murrysville for 29 years. She retired from teaching in 1983. Her husband Jack passed away in 1996, and in 1998 she moved to Mechanicsville to live with son Robert and his family. In 2002, she received a phone call from her teenage sweetheart, Cecil Petty, from whom she had not heard directly for 63 years.

In a storybook romance that she called “First Love, Last Dance,” they courted briefly and then married on May 25, 2002 at Beulah Presbyterian Church in Mechanicsville, where she was a member.

They lived in wedded bliss until Cecil’s death on Feb. 8, 2007. Dona continued to tutor her grandchildren and other students in English

during her last years. She never hesitated to correct her children and grandchildren on the proper use of the English language, and was particularly careful about the distinctions between “lie,” “lay,” and “laid,” until her last breath. She was dearly loved by her family and friends and will be missed in more ways than we can possibly describe.

2. Limit outdoor activities. If you must go outdoors, wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing that allows your skin to keep cool.

3. If you become overheated, increase the ventilation in your home by placing a fan in a window or installing an air conditioner.

Deadline nears for Conservation sign-ups underway HCSO’s Citizens Police Academy

By Ken Upshaw County executive director

Farmers and landowners committed to protecting and conserving environmentally sensitive land may sign up for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). The sign-up began on Monday, June 9.

CRP provides incentives to producers who utilize conservation methods on environmentally-sensitive lands.

For example, farmers are monetarily compensated for establishing long-term vegetative species, such as approved grasses or trees (known as “covers”) to control soil erosion, improve water quality, and enhance wildlife habitat.

CRP consists of a “continuous” and “general” sign-up period.

In lieu of a general sign-up this year, USDA will allow producers with general CRP contracts expiring this September to have the option of a oneyear contract extension.

The opportunities available to farmers and landowners under the continuous CRP and CREP programs are practical and flexible.

Since the Virginia Farm Service Agency (FSA) began

enrolling land in CREP in 2002, thousands of participating farmers and landowners made a commitment to protecting natural resources in Virginia by enrolling in CREP. The “enhanced” version of the national CRP program aims to improve Virginia’s water quality and wildlife habitat by offering financial incentives, cost-share and rental payments to farmers who voluntarily restore or create: Filter strips.

Riparian forest buffers.

Grass and shrub buffers.

Wetlands.

CREP helps producers overcome financial barriers of buffer projects and grazing systems by providing financial incentives and cost-share reimbursement for expenses; including costs for associated components such as wells, pipeline, watering troughs, and livestock crossings.

CREP participants quickly realize that the program offers more than environmental benefit and peace of mind.

Livestock producers see herd health benefits after excluding animals from natural water sources.

A decreased instance of

waterborne illness, improved rate of gain and overall production benefits are a few.

Crop producers also enjoy economic benefit from removing marginal, shaded field border from production and dedicating those acres to a conserving use.

Input costs are reduced on enrolled acres and CREP also provides an annual rental payment on the acres.

Producers who decide to offer acreage for enrollment in CREP will benefit from technical assistance from Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

NRCS helps CREP participants by assessing natural resources on the farm and helping to determine conservation objectives and make decisions.

Since June 9, offers to enroll in CRP and CREP have been accepted at all FSA offices.

For more information on CRP and other FSA programs, visit a local FSA county office or go online to www.fsa.usda.gov.

committed to protecting and conserving environmentally sensitive land may sign up for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).

Sign-up started on June 9.

The secretary also announced that retiring farmers enrolled in CRP could receive incentives to transfer a portion of their land to beginning, disadvantaged or veteran farmers through the Transition Incentives Program (TIP).

The Transition Incentives Program provides two additional years of payments for retired farmers and ranchers who transition expiring CRP acres to socially disadvantaged, military veteran or beginning producers who return the land to sustainable grazing or crop production.

Sign-up also began June 9.

TIP funding was increased by more than 30 percent in the 2014 Farm Bill, providing up to $33 million through 2018.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Coco, 365172, is an 11-month-old female husky.

She has had her first set of vaccines and is heartworm test negative. Coco is a nice little girl but has a skin condition that will require more medical treatment after she leaves the shelter. The good news is that her condition is very treatable. She will make a great companion for someone. She is very playful and sweet. These 2-month-old kittens, 362512 and 362513, are male domestic short-hair felines. They have been given their first set of vaccines and are FELV/FIV negative. These little guys are just as playful and nice as you can get. They will be great companions for anyone looking for a cat to raise.

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 804-3656485 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.

“What you’re paid isn’t what makes you stay,” Michele Karlix, an accountant at the 40-yearold dental practice, said. “It’s a wonderful place to work. You’re treated with respect and they care about you.”

Many employees have worked at the practice for decades. “We’ve always known the value of long-term employee retention,” founder Baxter Perkinson said. “Patients love to see familiar faces. You can’t put a value on that. And you can’t put a value on our employees.

School and adult center celebrate special ‘G.I.F.T.’ Children in Kate Smith’s second grade class at Battlefield Park Elementary School along with participants from Hanover Adult Center have established a community partnership through a volunteer-based educational pilot program entitled “G.I.F.T.” (Growing Intergenerational Friendships through Teaching).

The G.I.F.T program, initiated by Debbie Preston, gerontologist, and parent of a second grader in Smith’s class and in collaboration with Marie Riley, volunteer community liaison at HAC; Dearl Pollard, activity

coordinator at HAC; and Kate Smith, second grade teacher at BPES; was established to generate a community intergenerational partnership within a learning environment.

The G.I.F.T program, which began on Dec. 3, 2013, was held at BPES within Smith’s classroom on the first Tuesday of each month throughout the school year for about one hour.

The G.I.F.T. program provides an opportunity for the adult volunteers to share their talents, wisdom and experiences through mentoring students with reading and writing and

storytelling.

Such teachable moments are considered rewarding as they provide an opportunity for positive social interactions that foster respect and appreciation among the generations.

The benefits derived from

the G.I.F.T program are said to be numerous.

An older adult volunteer stated after leaving Smith’s classroom, “It felt like pouring gold into my spirit.”

Another older adult volunteer was a student a BPES and

said she was proud to come back to her roots and share her stories with the children.

According to Smith, “The G.I.F.T program was a great avenue for students and adults to share their stories. The students were so excited each

month when the adults came to visit and showered them with hugs and high fives when they left. We cannot wait to continue with the G.I.F.T program next year.”

Col. David R. Hines, left, sheriff of Hanover County, is shown with April Adams and Michele Hottle, who recently were recognized for their commitment and dedication to local community service by receiving the Excellent Service to Law Enforcement Award.

The Hanover Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program recently was awarded certification by the National Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Association. This certification recognizes that Hanover CASA is in compliance with National CASA’s high standards for quality child advocacy.

Michael Piraino, CEO of the National CASA Association, said, “The National CASA quality assurance process is very rigorous and reflects our commitment to ensure every child we serve has the most powerful volunteer advocate working on their behalf. This certification

says Hanover CASA has demonstrated to us a strong capacity to provide excellent services to the abused and neglected children within their community.”

Hanover CASA is in its 26th year of serving abused and neglect children within Hanover and Caroline counties.

During the past year, 11 CASA volunteers dedicated 1,320 hours as advocates for 29 children involved in the court system due abuse or neglect or other juvenile dependency proceedings.

Since the program’s inception, more than 184 citizens in the community have been trained as CASA volunteers and more than 540 children have been

given a voice in court that would not otherwise be available to them.

For more information about the program and how you can help, contact Melanie Baker, Hanover CASA coordinator, at 804-365-4300.

About the National CASA Association In 1976, concerned over making decisions about abused and neglected children’s lives without sufficient information, a Seattle judge conceived the idea of using trained community volunteers to speak for the best interests of these children in court, helping to

ensure that they will live in a safe and loving environment. So successful was this Seattle program, that soon judges across the country began utilizing citizen advocates.

In 1990, the U.S. Congress encouraged the expansion of CASA/GAL with passage of the Victims of Child Abuse Act. Today, there are more than 950 National CASA member programs across the country, with more than 70,000 men and women serving as CASA or Guardian ad Litem volunteers.

Plymouth Fife & Drum Corps Seven county schools 36 YEARS OF needs lodging for Virginia tour receive VIP awards A Fife and Drum Corps from Plymouth, Mich., is planning a 10-day tour of Virginia this August.

The Plymouth Fife & Drum Corps (PFDC) is made up of students ranging in ages 12 to 18 from Plymouth, Mich. They need the community’s help.

To save on traveling expenses they typically stay in high schools, churches and community centers. They will stay anywhere that can provide a gymnasium or large area to sleep in and access to shower facilities; kitchen facilities are a plus.

PFDC adds insurance riders to their policy to cover liability at the location.

In return, the group offers

a donation to help cover the expenses. But currently, they have nowhere to stay.

This year is proving to be more difficult than past tours.

PFDC president Sue Momano expressed her concern. “Our kids learn so much as we travel to historic landmarks every year. We’ve never had this much trouble finding a place to stay, so we’re putting out a call for help.”

If anyone has any connection to a school, church or facility large enough to house a group of 80 to 90 students and chaperones, contact the Corps.

PFDC is a self-supporting nonprofit youth group. It does not have the budget to fund a hotel stay.

The Plymouth Fife and Drum Corps will need lodging for a three-night stay within a 25-mile radius in the

Supervisors approve restructure plan for Winding Brook

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Edwin Gaskin, Hanover County economic development director, said the county has a chance to correct a serious problem with the bonds on the Lewistown Commerce Center.

Originally formed in 2007, the authority restructured the debt in 2011, but development of the property has not met expectations.

The bonds are currently in default, and landowners in the CDA are paying around $300,000 an acre assessment on each tract. The burdensome debt makes the property almost unsaleable in today’s market.

“When we have prospects look at the acreage within Winding Brook, they are attracted to the location. They are attracted to Bass Pro [Shops]

and everything that is going on around that.

When they get to the details, they usually head for the exits,” Gaskin said.

The new restructure plan will reduce that assessment to around $100,000 per acre amounting to a two-thirds reduction in assessments. Currently, stakeholders are paying about $18,000 per year.

“Based that $300,000 that is in place today, HOUSUM they are paying roughly $18,000 above and beyond the taxes they pay and everything else,” South Anna supervisor Wayne Hazzard said. “If we

redo this, I understand their payments will drop to about $7,200.”

One of the selling points of the new deal is the county’s ability to eventually exit the arrangement. “We have no exit points right now,” Gaskin said. “It’s fun to have friends, but it’s also fun to home some time. This provides us a way to get off the bus at the right time.”

Gaskin said the current arrangement is making the property almost unmarketable, and potential investors are discouraged by the debt associated with the development.

He said the foreclosure process is less than optimal and the burdens remain even when new owners come into the project.

“Our fear is that this would continue to be in default, and the new owner would come in and be subject to exactly the same burdens and realize

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO

project.

Conceptual plans call for 48 single-family homes blended with 73 town homes in addition to the three-acre commercial component.

Planning director David Maloney said the current plans are conceptual, and drainage and erosion problems will be addressed as the project moves forward.

Supervisor Canova Peterson represents the Mechanicsville District where the project is planned, and said the developers have altered their plans from an original version that included apartments.

“They went back to the drawing board again,” Peterson said.

Following a second meeting, the developers again listened and made changes, resulting in a new plan forwarded to all the neighbors.

After Planning Commission approval, Peterson said he met again with neighbors and spoke with developers to obtain even more screening and buffering along the eastern border of the property.

“The screening was abso-

that they can’t move forward either,” Gaskin said.

Gaskin stressed the county is not financially responsible for the bonds, but does have a stake in a positive outcome at the Lewistown project.

“We have no direct financial responsibility,” Gaskin said. “The area continues to be paralyzed.

It’s now further stigmatized with this aura of default around it. We are affected by the negative messaging.”

Bondholders relinquished a year’s worth of interest in the restructuring plan and also picked up the tab for all the legal costs associated with the proposal.

The county had promised a tax revenue share for perpetuity in the original agreement, but that allotment is eliminated in 2054 under the new

lutely necessary to maintain the integrity of the neighbor’s property,” Peterson said.

He said, “Developers have rights too, but they also have a responsibility to look after the neighbors.”

Peterson moved for approval of the project as presented and said no project is perfect and will satisfy all the concerns of affected neighbors.

To accommodate those concerns, Condlin said the revised design allows single-family homes closest to the affected neighborhoods, and the development’s density is at the low end of the allowed capacities.

Peterson acknowledged the existing traffic problem on Pole Green Road.

“It’s one that this development won’t fix,” he said.

But, Peterson added, improvements to the Bell Creek intersection will offer some improvements to the traffic flow.

“I have to rely on the engineers who tell us it will function as well or better than it does now,” Peterson said regarding the traffic problems.

He also addressed the residential commercial mix the county seeks for all developments.

see RESTRUCTURE, pg. 26

“I think we have the balance the Comp [Comprehensive] Plan calls for,” Peterson said.

“I know everybody would like to keep things the way they are, but we have worked many things on this,” Peterson said.

“He (the developer) has complied with everything in our ordinances and I don’t think there’s anything we can do except recommend approval.”

Supervisor Aubrey Stanley, Beaverdam District, said he also visited the site and was against it as late as Monday, June 23.

“Apparently, a lot of things have been addressed,” Stanley said. “I could make all kind of points against this, but, since only two people spoke against this tonight, I’m going to change my support in favor of this.”

South Anna District supervisor Wayne Hazzard said this project “would normally cause me problems,” but supported the project as presented.

“Nobody likes anything being built in their backyard,” chairman Sean Davis, Henry District, said. “It’s easy to say no and you have to look for reasons to say yes. This is how things should be done.”

The project gained the supervisors’ approval by a unanimous vote.

She likes small Minnie Mouse figurine. to play in the sandbox and go She said she likes princesses, especially Cinderella, and Hello swimming. She has one big Kitty. Sarah said she likes to eat brother, and likes her doggies, Lily and Bailey. She said she tomatoes and macaroni and has friends at school, but not cheese, but doesn’t enjoy the two foods together. This sum- too many. When asked if she mer, she plans to go swimming likes to swim with her friends in the pool and the beach, at school, Elayna said, “No, where she will build sandcastles because there’s not a swimming and see sea stars. Sarah also pool at my school!” Elayna also said that she has a new house enjoys red and pink balloons.

Little Miss contestants are: Emma Fisher, 6, is in first grade at Cold Harbor Elementary School. She said she likes to ride her bike, which is pink with flowers on it. Her favorite foods include tomatoes, sunflower seeds and pepperoni pizza. She likes to swim with her cousins at her Uncle Sherwood’s house and at Pebble Creek. She likes horses, especially her family horse, Grace the Tennessee Walker.

She said she likes playing with her boy cousin, who she said is sometimes nice, but sometimes more interested in playing his

Nintendo DS. Ava Lucia Lucas, 7, is in first grade. She said she likes math and reading, and especially enjoys reading butterfly books. Ava’s favorite toy is her toy horse, Brownie, but she also enjoys her American Girls doll.

Ava is one of a set of triplets — including co-contestant Emily Lucas. Ava said she likes tacos and tomatoes. This summer, Ava said she looks forward to swimming in her Aunt Maria’s pool, noting she can touch the bottom. She also looks forward to going to King’s Dominion and riding the ferris wheel and

the Cobblestone Express. She is a fan of Elsa from “Frozen,” and also likes “Tangled.” She added that she enjoys history and fondly remembers a time when she went to Battlefield Park with her uncle and saw Robert E. Lee. “That was awesome!” she said.

Emily Lucas, 7, is in first grade and is Ava’s sister. She said she likes school. “We do fun activities,” Emily said, adding that she made an insect in library class. Her favorite toys are her electronics, along with her stuffed bear, tiger and dog.

Emily said her favorite foods

are macaroni and cheese and tomatoes, along with chocolate. This summer, Emily said she looks forward to playing outside and going to King’s Dominion, where she likes to ride the bumper cars.

Nicole Maleta, 6, is a first grader at Cold Harbor Elementary School. At school, Nicole said she does fun activities like going to art to draw

on these bonds,” Housum said.

“We all see that the only way the bonds will be paid is through development. Right now, this district is paralyzed. The property is worth less than the assessments.”

“This is the perfect opportunity to help Winding Brook compete in the marketplace,” the Kansas City bank executive said.

Housum noted that bond-

holders have made concessions.

In essence, they are restructuring the debt that originally matured in 2027.

“They see that they are benefited by bringing about development,” she said.

The interest forgiven amounts to about $2.3 million.

Most supervisors endorsed the restructuring plan.

“Most of the give has come

from the bondholders. The county wins any way this development changes for the better because we then get the development that we need,” Hazzard said.

“It is vital to our health as a county,” Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District supervisor, added.

Supervisors approved the restructure plan by a 6-1 vote, with chair Sean Davis, Henry District, casting the only dissenting vote.

“This was a bad plan from the giddy-up,” Davis said. “The burden has been placed on us due to over-speculation. We didn’t create the problem, yet

we are now asked to fix it.”

He said real estate is a speculative field, and urged the county to allow the free market to function.

“Let capitalism work,” he said. “We’re fixing a mess and should not feel obligated to fix something doomed from the start.”

In addition, associate membership is open to those who study and support the brigade.

About the battlefield tour Each year of the sesquicentennial, the association has conducted a battlefield tour called “In the Footsteps of the Brave,” which follows the experiences of Hood’s Texas Brigade as it fought under Robert E. Lee. Many direct descendants of Hood’s Brigade soldiers attend the tours, seeing the battlefields where their ancestors fought and often were wounded and died.

The battlefield tour this year focused on The Wilderness Campaign, which took place in 1864 and was the first clash between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. The tour featured noted historians and authors, Gordon Rhea, Dr. Richard Sommers, and R.E L. Krick. It was designed by the Hood’s Texas Brigade Association Re-activated’s historian, Rick Eiserman.

Errors costly for Post 175 in College Day game

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Mechanicsville Post 175, playing its third game in three days, was beginning to feel a bit tired. West End Post 361, playing after a rather emphatic inspirational talk by manager Doug Toombs after the third inning, was beginning to feel a bit fired up – or at least feeling a bit of fire where it counted most.

After falling behind 5-1 after three innings, West End took advantage of aggressive hitting and a wave of Post 175 errors to earn a 9-5 American Legion baseball victory in the closing game of College Day at James River High School Saturday.

Mechanicsville committed nearly twice as many errors as it scored runs, with nine miscues on the day.

“We’re going to be a team that wins because we pitch and play defense,” said Post 175 manager Bobby White said.

“Today we didn’t play defense. … We made nine errors. When you make nine errors and give a good team like Post 361 that many extra opportunities, they’re going to make you pay

for it – and they did.”

White said the team’s schedule – Mechanicsville was in the middle of a six-game, sixday stretch – and length of the games was catching up to it.

“I don’t think their heads were anywhere else. It’s a function of three games in three days,” White said. “They’re mostly high school kids used to playing seven inning games. I know it’s only two extra innings, but for whatever reason those two extra innings can mentally affect you.”

Toombs was also struggling with mental effects. His between-inning talks inspire results.

“Basically, we had the same talk Tuesday night when we were down 4-1, 5-1 and we came back and beat [Post] 125 six to five and today we came back and won nine to five,” Toombs said. “My comment to them was, ‘Why do I have to motivate you? You should come out ready to play.’ But they seem to like that.”

The Dynamo Soccer Club U13 Navy girls travel team won the SCOR U15 second division title in March, finishing with a 12-4 record and 69 goals during the season.

Atlee assistant football coach J.C. Kimes held a twoday kicking camp at Atlee High School in June, with 16 placekickers and punters attending from a number of schools in the Richmond area. In addition to working hard and having fun honing their skills, the campers enjoyed a guest appearance by former William and Mary standout and Detroit Lion Mike Salazar. In this photo, former Atlee and current Old Dominion University punter/holder Joseph Pulisic (with football) works with campers on proper holding techniques.

The Dynamo Lightning and Thunder U13 team defeated a strong U14 Strikers team for the championship at SCOR in March. The team was (back row, left to right): coach David Rittenhouse, LaDawna McEnhimer, Nikki Rittenhouse, Natalie McLean, MaryPat MCcombs, Whitney Anderson, Shea Sager, Rachel Andrzejewski, McKenzie Bradley, coach Andrew McEnhimer and coach Roger Bessette; and (front row): Summer Hansen, Maddie Dunn, Willa Coombs, Elise Borghi, Madeline “Sunny” Radolinski, Logan Wells and Brittany Bessette.

Post 175 pitchers outlast Post 206 in scrap

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Hanover County’s two American Legion baseball teams met at Hanover High School Friday night, and they gave their fans a tight defensive contest.

After the home team, Mechanicsville Post 175 took an early lead, its defense held on to preserve the lead despite a strong challenge by Ashland Post 206 for a 3-2 victory.

Early defensive mistakes

by Post 206 undermined a strong pitching performance by Ashland starter Brett Whitlow.

An error in the outfield allowed Post 175 shortstop Christian Buckler to score a run in the first inning. Another error in the infield allowed Mechanicsville’s Trevor Denton to reach first.

Denton subsequently scored Post 175’s third run.

Whitlow threw a complete game, giving up six hits and striking out 11 in the loss.

“You’ve got to tip your hat to Brett Whitlow from 206,” said Post 175 manager Bobby White.

“He had us off balance all night long. We were really trying to hunt the fast ball, but then he’d throw the changeup [on the] first pitch and we’d be out front.

His curve ball is pretty good.

Any time he can throw that curve ball for a strike and come back with a fast ball – which I would guess was in the mid to upper 80s today – it makes it

tough.”

Whitlow had a shaky start against Powhatan Post 201 the previous week, but came out feeling much better against Post 175 Friday. He said good preparation was key.

“I got my bullpen done. I felt really good in my bullpen,”

The Mechanicsville Local

July 2, 2014

Whitlow said. “All four of my pitches were working – fast ball, curve ball, slider, changeup – so I just kind of mixed it up going throughout the order and let them get themselves out.”

For its part, Mechanicsville continued with its doctrine of using multiple pitchers on the

evening. Josh Lam pitched five shutout innings, followed by two innings by Patrick Holler. Josh Shepherd pitched the eighth inning and Trevor Denton closed out the ninth.

Post 175’s Haiden Lamb opened the bottom of the first inning with a single. He stole

Thompson single to make it 30.

Post 206 scored two runs in the eighth inning. Cole Potridge and Hunter McKinney opened with back-to-back singles, advanced on a balk by Shepherd, and scored on ground balls to make it 3-2, but that was as far as they would get.

“Everybody knows [Post 175] is one of the best teams around, if not the best,” said Post 206 coach Cody Crawley.

“We kind of came into this game wanting to prove something – we haven’t won a game yet still – but I’ll take three to two against them any day.”

White said the team’s schedule – Mechanicsville was in the middle of a six-game, sixday stretch – and length of the games was catching up to it.

“I don’t think their heads were anywhere else. It’s a function of three games in three days,” White said. “They’re mostly high school kids used to playing seven inning games. I know it’s only two extra innings, but for whatever reason those two extra innings can mentally affect you.”

Toombs was also struggling with mental effects. His between-inning talks inspire results.

“Basically, we had the same talk Tuesday night when we were down 4-1, 5-1 and we came back and beat [Post] 125 six to five and today we came back and won nine to five,” Toombs said. “My comment to them was, ‘Why do I have to motivate you? You should come out ready to play.’ But they seem to like that.”

Teamwork paved way for L-D state track title

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The Lee-Davis boys’ track and field team did not find it easy to win its first state title in the Virginia High School League Group 5A state championships at Todd Stadium in Newport News in June.

The Confederates had never won a state track championship before, and despite having a strong indoor season marred somewhat by a second-place finish to Highland Springs, head coach Neil Matthews thought they would have a harder time repeating the performance as the outdoor season began. Mathews said they had to work harder to hold the team together.

“We did early on, especially after the disappointment of

indoors,” Matthews said. “We had a great indoor season, but when you come as close as we did a couple of weeks in a row and in the state meet we were blown out – Highland Springs really had a perfect day in the indoor state meet – our guys really were down and they weren’t sure what we were going to be able to do.”

Lee-Davis was going to lose sprinter Haiden Lamb for a substantial part of the season to baseball. Its top distance runners, Paul Adam and Grayson Morgan, and its top pole vaulter, Michael Doggett, struggled with injuries or illnesses.

Because of the gaps at the top of the lineup, though, a lot of younger team members, though, got valuable experience.

“We told the guys, ‘Look, it’s your team. These guys might not come back. … You guys have to step up,” Matthews said.

“We put some guys in different events that they hadn’t been doing out of necessity and it actually paid off because they got the experience early in the year.”

The pieces came together at the right time. Lamb, for example, had extra motivation on the track following the baseball team’s early exit from the playoffs this year.

“As you saw, in baseball, we kind of had a rough ending,” Lamb said. “Knowing I had another sport to [fall] back on, putting it all into track, dedicating everything to it, felt really nice.”

day of the state tournament, and a championship seemed unlikely, but team members stepped up the final day and edged second-place Highland Springs by seven points.

“I really couldn’t wrap my head around what happened,” Lamb said about his realization that the Confederates had won. “ Lee-Davis hurdler Lee Warren wanted to close out the season with a 300-meter hurdles title, but was spent after he contributed to the Confederates’ winning effort in the 400-meter relay. He came in third in the 300, but he was more focused on the team title by then. He said the victory – even his thirdplace finish in the 300 was huge at that point – depended on effort and luck.

“It took one heck of a fight,” Warren said. “We came out Friday and didn’t have our best day and we thought we had already lost it. But we came out Saturday and just fought

and fought and fought, and we win, and we won. It was just caught a few lucky breaks. That’s some validation for all the hard what has to go right for you to work we put in.”

WASHINGTON – Calling him the “Michael Jordan of NASCAR,” President Barack Obama honored six-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Jordan at a ceremony in the East Room of the White House Wednesday.

Obama lauded Johnson for his achievements so far: among them the only drive to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup every year since it began, and being the fastest drive to earn a six pack – six Sprint Cup championships.

The president talked about how he usually compares champions honored by the White

“Usually when we do these sports events I make some crack about how the football team isn’t as good as the ‘85 Bears, or

the basketball team isn’t as good as the Bulls,” Obama said. “But to that I can’t really say anything because Jimmie Johnson is pretty much the Michael Jordan of NASCAR.”

Nicole likes swimming with her floaties, and hopes soon to learn to swim without them like her brother, Junior, who is 7. Nicole looks forward to advancing in Girl Scouts from Daisies to Brownies, which reminded her of a dog she used to have, also named Brownie, who “would not stop yapping.”

Her family now has a dog, cat and fish, which Nicole said seem to get along most of the time.
