The tradition continues.

On Saturday, for the 36th year, Mechanicsville and Hanover County residents, as well as neighboring communities, turned out to pay tribute to the Hanover Tomato and help the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department raise funds for equipment and training.

The 2014 Hanover Tomato Festival found the grounds of Pole Green Park filled with attendees, vendors, entertainers, kids’ activities, and, most of all, tomatoes.

“I said, ‘I’m from Richmond, Virginia! I’m so excited to be here! I’ve waited 42 years for this! It’s my 50th birthday!’ ” Naughton said, adding that the interviewer, who identified himself as Stan, asked her if she was going to be okay.

Naughton said that when she, her two sisters and her sister-in-law were seated, she noticed Stan and other Price is Right officials were looking at her.

Travel reduced to one Covenant Woods HR lane over I-95 in Ashland director earns designation Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com As of Thursday, July 10, drivers have been experiencing a new traffic pattern on Route 54 over Interstate 95 for a bridge replacement project.

According to Lindsay LeGrand with the Virginia Department of Transportation, Route 54 will be reduced to one 12foot lane in each direction between Hill Carter Parkway and Mount Herman Road.

She also said a temporary traffic signal has been installed at the interchange of I-95 north and Route 54 west to ease exiting interstate traffic congestion.

For the duration of the project, the posted speed limit will be reduced to 35 mph.

Drivers can expect delays, particularly during peak travel times.

Crews began work to replace the bridge over the interstate in May. The project is expected to wrap up in November 2015.

For more information on the Route 54 bridge replacement project, go to www.ashlandinterchange.org.

When asked why the show appeals to her, Naughton said she’s enjoyed it as long as she can remember.

Unlike other game shows that operate on one concept, the Price is Right has diverse games and a zany audience, she added.

“It was the dream of my life,” Naughton said. “Not too much could top it. It was one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. Meeting my husband and having my two children were the first, second and third, and this was the fourth greatest experience of my life.”

OPINION | The Local Views

Summer memories bring a smile

From the editor

Hanover Tomato Festival still takes the No. 1 spot Thank you! That’s the best way to start the conversation today. Thanks to the efforts of so many, including volunteers, we were able to enjoy another successful and fun-filled Hanover Tomato Festival.

On Saturday, Pole Green Park was alive with the sounds of young and old taking the sights and, most of all, paying tribute to the Hanover Tomato. Of course, by buying those tomatoes, the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, which started the festival in 1978, benefits financially through the sales.

Whether you live in Mechanicsville isn’t an issue on the second Saturday in July. People from all around the area — and probably beyond — head to our community for a memorable day.

We’re so very fortunate to be able to take part in this event and sincerely thank all those involved. And, there are many people who give their time to make the day-long festival “the” event in the Ville.

When one wraps up, it’s time to start the planning stages for another.

Mother Nature cooperated (yay!) and, as always, the lovely faces of the pageant contestants joined in the opening ceremonies.

Businesses and vendors show their support every year and we join in extending our thanks for their participation.

The festival also is known for its entertainment — and this year’s lineup continued the tradition of toe-tapping good music.

New for 2014 was the Un-Cookoff. How cool was that?! And, this addition opened the festival a day early!

Community comes to the forefront at the Tomato Festival and we’re blessed by the generosity of those who take part in any way.

To Hanover County Parks & Rec, The Mechanicsville Local, The Herald Progress and the Black Creek VFD, we as a community again say “Thank you.” The committee members devote so much energy to make the day special for us. Their time means a great deal to those of us who get to enjoy the festivities — and the delicious variety of foods. Yum! Even after 36 years, the Hanover Tomato Festival remains the destination of thousands. We’re always glad to be part of this special day.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist While summer is a time of carefree days spent doing almost nothing for most children, almost three months off provides more than a challenge for many parents.

Finding things to do that will entertain children is a taxing and perplexing process that takes every bit of imagination a tired parent can muster.

Thank goodness, swimming is still the number one attraction for my kids, and swimming lessons are a regular portion of their summer routine.

I’m not sure how I learned to swim, but the endless lessons each year didn’t

seem to be an integral part of that procedure.

But the excitement of summer swim lessons was surely something to look forward to, especially the little American Red Cross patch received at the end of a successful week.

My sister and I took lessons at a rural pool in Maryland, where we spent many summers at our grandmother’s house. It was more like a concrete enclosed lake than a pool.

The only thing that stands out in my mind was the coldness of the water on misty Maryland mornings when we jumped in.

Between the Red Cross swimming lessons and the YMCA instruction I

received at camp, somewhere along the line I learned to swim.

Two of three of my young children can now swim, and the other is right on the brink. This year, they took a combination swimming and tennis class. It’s one of the many activities parents look for to fill some of the long summer days.

Entering July, there’s always Vacation Bible School at their grandparents’ church in Dinwidde, so that’s another week planned.

Birthdays and vacation are planned for late July, and summer camp begins the first week of August. Filling the see SUMMER, pg. 8

Motorist asks about bicyclists and runners Well, it is that time of year again. Summer is in the air.

Unfortunately, that brings out the bicyclists. Already I have run into them on back roads.

Now I am not talking about the two or three that ride together. I am talking about the packs of 10, 20 or more.

The ones who travel on the back roads where there is no shoulder and you in no way can pass because of the curves ahead or because they are riding three and four wide with no spacing between themselves.

Do they realize how hard it is to pass all of them at one time? Then, when you try or crowd them into spacing themselves apart, you get obscene hand gestures thrown at you.

I have been online trying to find the laws on this and cannot. To be honest, it is hazardous to us both.

Maybe someone in the biking community or the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office can help out as to what we as automobilists are supposed to do. It is very frustrating following these people at 20 mph.

The other thing I want to touch on is runners. Since when is it OK to run on a back road with no shoulder. I see this all the time on River Road.

One day I was going to the transfer station on 301 at Courthouse Park and here are a couple of runners running on the road going to the station. Hello, there is a running track at the park. There are tracks at most schools.

Why are you people (runners and bicyclists) putting yourselves in harm’s way against a more than 3,000-pound of rolling metal.

Accidents do happen. Your bike could blow a tire. You could trip on a loose rock. The person driving could be texting, talking on the phone, changing the channel on the radio. I just don’t get it.

Roads were not designed for people running or bicyclists riding on them 50 years ago. Some new roads are and that is great stay on these roads. Not 54 and back roads to Montpelier, Ashland, Mechanicsville and Hanover.

July 16, 2014

(Editor’s note: The following was directed to Sean Davis, chair of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, who recently addressed Internet issues in a guest commentary.)

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

In early June, I had written a letter to the editor seeking information on why Verizon FiOS is still not available in Hanover County. We are the only Metro Richmond county without this service, and it has been available for five-plus years in the area.

In your commentary you noted, “Let me be clear, the Hanover County Board of

of my condo pool, which is seldom crowded.

It’s one of the few pools left around where you can still enjoy the pleasure of blowing up a rubber float, kicking back and relaxing.

When my children were small, we didn’t have access to a pool, and a backyard variety wading version had to suffice.

They spent endless hours

bouncing on the sides, requiring endless reinflations.

But, the experience was far short of the exuberant feeling of diving in crystal clear water in a real pool, complete with lifeguard — or so I thought.

While returning from the pool over the Fourth of July weekend, an odd question came from the back of my car.

“Daddy, can we get one of those blow-up pools like the

one we used to have?” one of my children asked.

Just goes to show: Summer memories are made anywhere there’s water, no matter the amount.

The recollections of days spent at a lemonade stand that never made money are the treasures we hold the dearest in our minds, and the time spent with friends and family . . . well, that’s just priceless.

Supervisors has never stopped any Internet provider from supplying service to Hanover County residents. If anyone states something to the contrary, it is simply not accurate.”

I’m assuming this was directed at my statement a few weeks earlier about Hanover County preventing Verizon FiOS from providing service here due to them not agreeing to lay fiber optic cable throughout the county.

That being said, you did not address in your letter why there is no presence of Verizon FiOS in Hanover. I would really like to know the “true” reason behind this since you have now made it clear that Hanover County is not preventing Verizon from providing FiOS here.

I would love to finally get an answer being the information 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 know exactly why that is. Thanks!

Phillip Adams Mechanicsville

able to obtain the American dream, I have only a few things to say.

I am a disabled Hanover resident who cannot find affordable housing in the county. My income is not enough to qualify for a Habitat home.

I recently moved in with my sister and brother-in-law because I can’t make it on my own to live independently. Prior to that, I was renting a room in Ashland.

In addition, I don’t qualify for most programs because those programs say I make too much money. So I’m stuck in a trap of not making enough in one area and making too much in another area.

I’m sure there are many residents like myself who would love to be able to live independently again. What can be done to help Hanover residents such as me?

Melody H. Pruett Mechanicsville

that Hanover County could not underwrite the cost either.

As a Tea Party representative said at a recent town hall meeting on the issue, “Don’t raise my taxes to bring Internet because I don’t need it.” No doubt he would have said the same thing about bringing electricity to the final mile. Great thinking and certainly progressive. And, of course, it’s all about him.

What we need are new alternative and innovative suggestions.

Supervisor Sean Davis mentioned the towers located throughout the county. Has the county reached out to wireless providers to provide tax incentives for placing relay stations on these towers?

Verizon’s Homefusion is tailor-made for these towers and designed for rural areas.

What can we do to “entice” providers to bring service to the rural areas of the county?

Sad to say that Korea provides better broadband access to its population then the U.S. and certainly Hanover County.

Like electricity, access to broadband is no longer a novelty or luxury. It’s a competitive necessity for our kids. It’s necessary for bringing and supporting small businesses to our area.

It’s essential for the future home value of our properties. It’s also a safety necessity in cases of weather emergencies.

I strongly urge our Board of Supervisors to look at new and innovative ideas (and likely federal funding opportunities)

Housing questioned I read with interest the story titled “A joyful day . . . a new home.”

While I support the work of the Habitat for Humanity and all the churches involved and even the lovely family who were

Incentives may attract service For crying out loud — FiOS or Comcast — it does not take a rocket scientist to know that the cost benefit of a company to bring cable to the “final mile” is simply not going to happen.

There is just no way that the companies can ever recoup their financial investment and, frankly, they are in the business to make money. In addition, laying cable is “old” technology.

Sadly, the political reality is

Harley Bradshaw Mechanicsville

Project concern As a resident of Mechanicsville for the last 20 years, I am very concerned about the Garrison Manor project.

We must be sure we are protected from developers that are planning to turn this 58-acre site into something we cannot sustain or support. This rezoning affects the immediate neighborhoods as well as the

landowners to make a bundle of money at the expense of our area, leaving us with overcrowded schools, inadequate sewers and roads and overburdened police, fire and Department of Public Works.

Our infrastructure and road cannot sustain this.

In a perfect world our best option is not to rezone at all.

We need to think outside the box for land use and read The Hanover County Land use plan and what their goals are.

The Hanover County Land use plan states “Their goal is to maintain the independent but harmonious balance between the suburban and rural areas of the county.”

It also says this plan is “achieved by directing higher residential densities and more intensive non-residential uses, encouraging uses intended to maintain the character and agricultural integrity of the rural land.”

The Garrison Manor project will destroy the character and agricultural integrity of Studley

surrounding community.

At the June 18, 2014, community meeting, many residents, myself among them, spoke out to voice our concerns about the current plan for this land. This is one of the largest, last undeveloped parcels of land on Studley Road.

As residents, we all want to work together to keep Studley Road communities with a good quality of life; therefore, we must organize and let those with decision-making power, know that as a community we are against any high density development.

Make no mistake, those that claim this development will help keep taxes down are wrong.

Development never reduces or even helps to stabilize property taxes.

If you don’t believe this, go live in Chesterfield County where development has caused lots of problems and cost citizens more money.

I would like to believe that this town has no obligation to assist developers and current

Road — bottom line.

From what I’ve seen, the Garrison project will not provide development that compliments nor preserves the rural and cultural characteristics of the area and needs to be drastically reduced in size at rezoning.

One hundred forty-two houses on 58 acres is just too much development for our only open area on this side of Studley Road.

As Hanover County taxpayers, we certainly should have the final say on how this tract of land is developed. Our voices must not only be heard but also listened to by our elected officials.

Progress is inevitable; destroying our land is optional, and that, my friends, is what this developer plans to do.

We need as a community to be at that rezoning hearing in August and vote no to overdevelopment of our rural community.

Kaine said they often display different leadership styles or can provide different takes on the same issues.

businesses. Among the crowd were owners of small local businesses like dance studios, automotive shops and flooring firms, corporate representatives from large companies like DuPont and Dominion Virginia Power, real estate agents, financial services professionals, community college workers and information technology experts.

Kaine acknowledged that, while the country is recovering from the recession, there are still difficulties at hand. The country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) isn’t growing as quickly as federal officials would like, and there is uncertainty about policies at the federal level, he said.

Education issues Danna Geisler, chamber president, told Kaine that she has concerns that the education system isn’t necessarily set up to help working women succeed.

In many communities, she said the school day starts early and

ends early, while summer vacations create logistical issues for mothers with children.

Geisler noted that her own mother, a small business owner, had to leave work for more than an hour at a time to pick her up from school, then had to bring her back to the office to sit until the day was over.

“Women who work and have kids are the ultimate jugglers,” Kaine said. He added that he supported early childhood education programs during his time as governor, and hopes to support similar measures at the federal level. Early childhood education is critical for learning, but also can help working women by providing childcare.

As for school schedules, Kaine said, what time to start and end the school day and whether to shift to year-round calendars are worth discussion, but are local issues. see KAINE, pg. 24

On Thursday, July 10, Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell announced that $400,000 in Land and Water Conservation Funds will be used to acquire and preserve an additional 285 acres of hallowed grounds on the Gaines Mill battlefield at Richmond National Battlefield Park.

Last week’s announcement was part of a weeklong series of events across the country by Obama Administration officials to highlight the 50th anniversary of the Fund, which invests part of the revenue from oil and gas leases on federal lands to support communities’ conservation, outdoor recreation and clean water projects, as well as preserve historic sites across the country.

Only once in the past 50 years has Congress appropriated Land and Water Conservation Fund funding at the full authorized level of $900 million and the program is set to expire without action from Congress.

Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources Molly Ward, left, joins U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and Dave Ruth, superintendent of Richmond National Battlefield Park, on Thursday at Gaines Mill Battlefield. Land and Water Conservation Funds will be used to acquire 285 acres of hallowed grounds on the Gaines Mill battlefield at Richmond National Battlefield Park.

President Obama’s budget request includes a legislative proposal to establish dedicated mandatory funding for Land and Water Conservation Fund programs, with full funding at $900 million beginning in

“Congress should make good on its promise and enact full and permanent funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund so that future generations of Americans can learn from the important history lessons played out on these battlefields which have shaped the course of our American history.”

“The permanent protection of this important Civil War battlefield is an example of how the Land and Water Conservation Fund has helped state and local governments fund more than 40,000 close-to-home projects over the past half century,

Fund so that future generations of Americans can learn from the important history lessons played out on these battlefields which have shaped the course of our American story.”

Jewell cited the Gaines’ Mill battlefield acquisition as a prime example of how the Land and

Water Conservation Fund can honor our nation’s important history by preserving key Civil War battlefields and other hallowed grounds.

The property was acquired for $3.2 million in 2012 by the Civil War Trust, capped with a matching grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The $400,000 in funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund enabled the transfer of the property to the National Park Service for perpetual stewardship as part of Richmond National Battlefield Park.

Secretary Jewell was joined at Thursday’s announcement

by Jim Lighthizer, Civil War Trust president, and Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources Molly Ward.

The Commonwealth of Virginia has long been a supporter of historic preservation, and provided $1.5 million in public monies towards the Civil

War Trust’s acquisition of the Gaines’ Mill battlefield.

“From the Tidewater to Blue Ridge, Virginia is home to some of the most beautiful and historic places in America,” Ward said.

“It is an honor to stand side-byside with the Department of the Interior, the National Park Service and outstanding private organizations like the Civil War Trust to ensure that these landscapes are protected for future generations of Americans.”

EDUCATION | School Board, Student News & Announcements Evan Harris of Mechanicsville, a student at Hampden-Sydney College, recently was initiated into the honor scientific society Chi Beta Phi. Membership recognizes individual excellence and passion in any respective field of science. Chi Beta Phi became a nationally chartered organization in 1925 and has since grown to consist of more than 25 chapters. A Patrick Henry Scholar, Harris is a member of the ROTC. He is a member of the swim team and the cross country team. He also is a member of the Union Philanthropic Literary Society and Garnet and Grey. Harris works as a swim instructor and lifeguard for Tiger Recreation. A biology major, he is a graduate of Atlee High School and is the son of Campbell and Beth Harris.

Jackson Snyder of Mechanicsville was part of a team of 11 James Madison University Army ROTC Duke Battalion cadets that recently competed in the 2014 Sandhurst Military Skills Competition at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The Ranger Challenge Team finished 24th of out 57 teams from across the world, and members were the first JMU team to qualify to compete in the prestigious event. Snyder, an economics major, was described as an integral part of the team’s efforts.

The competition tested cadet’s weapon skills, Army tactics and physical fitness. JMU’s team earned the right to compete by virtue of winning the October 2013 competition with 40 other college and university teams making up the 4th Brigade, one of eight Cadet Command brigades represented at the West Point competition.

Jamelle Wilson, left, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, joined with Robert Hundley, right, chairman of the Hanover County School Board, in recognizing Jim Ridolphi, a freelance photojournalist for Richmond Suburban News. Ridolphi was named to the Media Honor Roll of the Virginia School Boards Association for his coverage of education in Hanover County. He received a certificate during the July 8 regular meeting of the school board.

Dr. Michael Gill, center, was welcomed aboard by fellow Hanover County Public Schools officials and members of the Hanover County School Board as he prepares to embark on his new role as assistant superintendent for instruction. He is shown with Jamelle Wilson, superintendent, and Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor District representative.

HUNDLEY Continued from pg. 1

The board again discussed opportunities for retired employees after an initial presentation last month.

Charla Cordle, assistant superintendent for human resources, updated the board on a proposal by Lee-Davis High School teacher Marty McDonnell that would have expanded part-time employment opportunities for retirees.

McDonnell’s proposal was reviewed by a number of county principals, but the cons outweighed the pros.

School board members said they liked the idea of getting instruction from an experienced and dedicated educator, but they found problems with the equity issue in part-time appointments and how schools would be selected for employment.

Cordle said another concern expressed in her research was that there is no equivalent benefit for elementary retired staff, and it would be unfair to current employees if part-timers were allowed to pick the classes they wished to teach.

Another drawback was the unavailability of part-time employees to perform additional duties.

“As you know, teachers do

many things other than just teach.”

In the end, the negative effects outnumbered the positive in the minds of the 13 administrators who were surveyed regarding the new program.

Superintendent Jamelle Wilson recommended the board not move forward on the proposed part-time proposal, but did express support for programs that take advantage of retired educators’ expertise.

The non-action leaves in place the county’s current retirement employment policy that allows many educators to return to the classrooms.

“Retirees always get the first choice when it comes to substitutes,” Cold Harbor representative Norman Sulser said.

Teachers have several options, including a program that allows them to work 30 days at 10 percent of their former salary. Sulser said that comes out to about $200 a day.

They also can substitute on a long-term as needed basis and principals appreciate the value of having experienced teachers in the substitute roles, both long- and short-term.

But Sulser agreed that McDonnell’s plan would have created more problems than it see HUNDLEY, pg. 24

KAINE Continued from pg. 16

Student debt was a concern for several roundtable participants, including J. Greer Johnson, who pointed out that students are expected to go to college, but then end up graduating with an unmanageable amount of debt and having trouble finding jobs to pay it down.

“What can be done? This is a looming disaster,” Johnson said.

Kaine agreed, and pointed out that young adults struggling to pay down debt affect plenty of aspects of the economy, including delaying home purchases for young professionals.

One option, he said, is to try to encourage workforce training.

“We’ve put too much attention on everybody having to go to college,” Kaine said.

Meanwhile, many companies have to import welders, construction workers, IT (informational technology) technicians and other skilled workers because they can’t find enough qualified individuals in the states. Despite paid apprenticeships and high wages, trades are having trouble recruiting new workers.

Jen Kostyniuk, who serves as Dominion’s regional manager for state and local affairs, said her company and other companies struggle with that

solved, and noted many educators have had enough once they retire.

“Many of them don’t want to go back in to the classroom,” he said.

The superintendent also presented a preliminary list of goals for 2014-2015.

“This is intended to reflect what we have heard you say in the past,” Wilson said. “The intent is to reflect areas of interest for you. The board goals are

over proposed increases in the minimum wage. She said some proposals she’s heard, including increasing minimum wage to $15, could really hurt some operations.

“I can’t see how smaller businesses will survive if that’s the case,” Nelson said.

Kaine said there’s a Senate proposal on the table to increase the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour incrementally, with three step increases separated by six months each.

“I support that,” Kaine said.

Handling the minimum wage by setting it and leaving it alone for years on end means bigger increases when increases come, he added, and more impact on businesses.

Regular, recurring increases would help keep the wage realistic while allowing businesses to plan for the increased cost, he said.

Kaine pointed to the example of Henry Ford, who doubled his automotive plant workers’ wages to $5 per day. Not only did that help keep employees on board, it also allowed them to afford to buy cars, which supported the business.

Kaine was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2012. He is a member of the Senate’s Budget Committee, Armed Services Committee and Foreign Relations Committee. His wife, Anne Holton, is the Virginia Secretary of Education.

STUDENT

Keeping up Laura Sanchez of Del Solar told Kaine that while Virginia’s Small, Women-owned and Minority-owned business program, also known as SWaM, is a good idea, the certification process is long and difficult.

Even though the program is designed to help smaller businesses remain competitive while vying for contracts through the state’s procurement system, she added, it can still be hard to

remain competitive.

Others expressed concerns over the cost of implementing requirements of the federal Affordable Care Act. “The Affordable Care Act is not affordable for us,” Kimberly Taylor, owner of Titan Auto and Tire, said. She added that she has lost potential employees because she cannot afford to provide the level of healthcare they’re looking for from employers.

Linda Bilger, who owns On The Spot, a flooring and carpet cleaning company in Powhatan, agreed. Under Virginia’s Healthcare Exchange, she said she was unable to find affordable insurance for her employees.

Kaine said the struggle over healthcare reform led both sides to dig in — Democrats didn’t want to seem unsupportive by considering reform, while Republicans wanted it repealed.

Now, both sides have cooled down and seem open to fixing some of the issues that have arisen. He added that, either way, 12 million Americans who previously didn’t have health insurance are now covered.

“There’s still work to do,” Kaine said. “We spend more than any other county — 18 percent of our GDP — on healthcare.”

Tara Nelson, who operates the Omega Learning Center in Chesterfield, expressed concern

er effective instructional services through programs like the Specialty Center, professional development and pre-school education.

The list also includes special education, the delivery of online instruction and an examination of the current grading scale.

Another board priority is the hiring and retention of quality educators in Hanover schools, achieved through maintaining competitive salary and working conditions.

Also highlighted on the list

is a continuing evaluation program for teachers, principals and the superintendent.

The goals included the board’s intent to monitor the effects of market and growth patterns that could affect capacity and efficiency at some campuses in the county.

Throughout the 2014-2015 school year, the board will continue to monitor a number of capital projects in progress at numerous county campuses.

“It is brought to you for your consideration. It’s just an

attempt to commit to paper what we’ve heard you talk about for the last several months,” Wilson said.

The board will take action on its list of priorities later this summer after considering the draft presented at last week’s meeting.

In other matters, Michael Gill was named assistant superintendent for instruction, replacing Daryl Chesley, who resigned in the spring.

The board also adopted its meeting schedule for the

upcoming year, including a change in starting time for regular meetings.

The public sessions will now begin at 7 p.m.

Last week’s meeting also was the first for newly-appointed Mechanicsville District representative Roger Bourassa, who pledged his commitment to continuing the legacy established by his predecessor, Glenn Millican.

“Everyone has been great and I’m looking forward to serving,” Bourassa said after the meeting.

issue, and pointed to the stigma associated with career and technical training.

Kaine agreed, and said he is working in the Senate to help erase that stigma and funnel funding toward skill training.

Right now, in Virginia, community college funding is based on the number of students who are seeking degrees there — not students who are seeking trade certificates. Military tuition benefits have similar restrictions on how beneficiaries can spend them, sending veterans toward degrees, not trade certifications.

“We ought to be funding skill acquisition,” Kaine said, adding that people with career-technical training are more likely to become entrepreneurs.

Carol Nitz of RichTech, an IT firm, said local officials from state-of-the-art career technical centers have told her they have trouble recruiting students — not because the kids aren’t interested, but because the parents don’t want to consider an option other than college.

Attorney Sarah McCurry of Winslow & McCurry said that some young people who start to pursue higher education stop simply due to debt concerns, hampering their educational attainment and success. A paralegal at her firm finished college early and decided not to go to law school for that very reason, she said.

Another challenge facing businesses, McCurry added, is the high expectation among young people entering the job market. Some job seekers have unreasonable expectations for pay and benefits that smaller businesses simply can’t meet.

“They want to start out with three weeks of paid vacation and a 401(k), and you want to say, ‘Hey, we have seven employees!’ ” she said.

Kostyniuk agreed, and said some young jobseekers also don’t have the “soft skills” needed in the workplace, like talking on the phone rather than sending an email or text message.

Kaine suggested that small businesses should look into hiring veterans, who come with plenty of training in appropriate behavior, teamwork and performing under pressure.

“We have to make sure they know how to market that in the private sector,” Kaine said.

general. The board will provide direction for staff,” she added.

The outline was general, with board action needed to fill in the blanks as the school year continues.

The list reflects the board’s priorities, including the need for them to continue its role in the community as an educational leader through monitoring programs, legislative agendas and improving quality in Hanover County Public Schools.

The list also outlines the board’s responsibilities to deliv-

Former Girl Scouts CEO gets 3 months for embezzling

By Bill McKelway Richmond Times-Dispatch The former leader of the 12,000-member Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia will serve three months in jail for a felony embezzlement scam that drained an average of more than $1,000 a month from Scout funds.

Linda Carne, 62, had entered a guilty plea in April and was released on bond after hearing special prosecutor Matthew Ackley describe a complex scheme in which Carne disguised family trips and luxury accommodations as part of outreach efforts.

Hanover Circuit Court Judge Patricia Kelly ordered Carne, a former associate of author

Patricia Cornwell and an administrator at Randolph-Macon College, to serve five years in prison, but she suspended all but three months.

Carne will serve 85 percent of that term and was taken immediately into custody as a smattering of well-wishers and detractors watched from the courtroom. Kelly said CARNE Carne can apply for work release if she is eligible.

Carne, who lived in Crozier, pleaded guilty after a complex investigation by forensic accoun-

tants that cost nearly $52,000 — more than twice the $22,979.80 that Carne admitted she stole.

Carne was fired in December 2011, about 20 months after having been brought into the administrative branch of the 12,000-scout, century-old organization in April 2010.

Carne was paid in excess of $100,000 a year, according to the Girl Scout organization, which covers some 30 counties and multiple cities, including Richmond, in the central Virginia region.

Ackley said earlier this year that investigators with the Virginia State Police and forensic accountants tracked down alleged contacts Carne said she had made on trips across the country, but discovered that Carne rarely, or

barely, met with them.

Instead, she used her Scout-issued credit card to stay at such luxury hotels as The Algonquin in New York City, attended an equestrian event in Kentucky that cost $4,218, and scheduled her trips to coincide with professional baseball games in Major League cities. She often took family members along.

“This is not a happy day for us,” a Scout spokesperson said when Carne was convicted, noting that tight restrictions have been placed on the use of the Scout credit card.

After Carne resigned, she worked briefly in Ashland for Randolph-Macon College’s see SCOUTS, pg. 30

TOMATO Continued from pg. 1

That tradition continued on Saturday when thousands poured onto the grounds to buy the famously delicious fruit – always supplied by Robbie Dodd of Dodd Farms – and partake in the offerings provided by rows and rows of vendors.

While the sun shone bright over the festival, the opening ceremonies included the recognition of Larry Leber, president of the Black Creek VFD. Since the first festival in 1978, he has devoted himself to its growth and success. The 2014 event was dedicated to him.

A presentation recognizing Leber’s designation was made by Jethro Piland, chief of Hanover Fire-EMS. He was joined by Donnie West, representing the Hanover Tomato Festival Committee and Black Creek VFD, and Greg Sager, director of Parks and Rec. “Oh, wow, this really is a surprise,” Leber said. He noted that he had watched the festival grow from a small local event to the largest single-day festivity in Hanover County.

Piland said he was humbled to stand by someone as dedicated as Leber to the community. According to the chief, Leber has served as a volunteer firefighter for 46 years.

Also part of the opening ceremonies is the announcement of the Tiny and Little Miss Hanover Tomato Festival Pageant. Taking those honors were Bailee Long and Nicole Maleta, respectively.

During the pageant, which was held on June 28, 3-year-old Bailee Long told Lynn Watson, director, that she likes to eat spaghetti and looks forward to swimming at the beach and at the pool, but only with her arm floaties on for safety’s sake.

She also said her favorite toys are her dragon castle, princess dresses and baby dolls.

Nicole Maleta, 6, is a rising first grader at Cold Harbor Elementary School.

During her interview, Maleta told Watson that she looks forward to advancing in Girl Scouts from Daisies to Brownies, which reminded her of a dog she used to have named Brownie who “would not stop yapping.”

She also said her favorite foods are tomatoes and strawberries, but added that the ants often get to the strawberries in her family’s garden before the humans have a chance to pick

them.

“I believe you are all winners,” Watson told the contestants before the winners were crowned. “I’ve enjoyed having you as my princesses this year.”

The envelope with the winners’ names was delivered to the stage by Princess Jojo, a tiny Yorkshire Terrier.

And, there was entertainment. This year’s event had a different look, thanks to the E.J. Wade Foundation, which donated use of the organization’s state-of-the-art stage and sound system to the Hanover Tomato Festival Committee.

“The stage, obviously, was a huge, huge addition and focal point,” Durrer said. “It really showcased everything from the opening ceremonies to the pageant.”

A bonus with Wade’s stage, Durrer said, was that “no matter where you went in the festival, you could hear the music; you were still part of the event.

It just provided a much more festive experience across-theboard.”

She also pointed out that the elaborate sound system enabled festival-goers from anywhere in the park to receive communications.

Also taking part in the opening ceremonies were Sean Davis, Wayne Hazzard, Ed Via, Canova Peterson and Elton Wade, Hanover County Board of Supervisors; Col. David R. Hines, sheriff; Del. Chris Peace, R-97; and Miss Virginia Courtney Garrett.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Miranda Gagnon, the 2013 Little Miss Hanover Tomato Festival. Marquita Whisonant performed “The Star Spangled Banner.”

New to the 2014 festival was the Un-Cookoff, which was held Friday evening at the park.

In addition to unique recipes, musical entertainment was performed for the enjoyment of those taking part or on hand

to view the addition.

Durrer said the Un-Cookoff “was good. We had two tasting booths, one with Kroger and one with Arc Angels.”

“A lot of people were excited about it and for it to grow,” Durrer added. “So we’ve got a lot of great cool ideas.”

Winners of the Best Dressed Tomato Contest were: Most Creative — ages 3 to 5, Gabriel Jordan; ages 6 to 8, Braden Deis; and ages 9 to 12, Noah Carney.

Funniest – ages 3 to 5, Kaiden Myers; ages 6 to 8, Jordan Johnson; and Arionna Raymond, ages 9 to 12.

Cutest – ages 3 to 5, Adriana Carpenter; ages 6 to 8, Emily Rios; and ages 9 to 12, Hannah Knight.

Best Overall – ages 3 to 5, Makayla Grattan; ages 6 to 8, Steven Payne; and ages 9 to 12, Rachel Wheatley.

Durrer did address the traffic issue that has become a challenge for the committee and all the volunteers associ-

ated with the festival for several years.

“Over 30,000 people went into the park for a one-day event. Our challenge is the exiting traffic because so many people are trying to leave at the same time and, quite often, it’s when so many people are trying to come in,” she said.

According to Durrer, organizers and volunteers work with deputies by “running three lanes of traffic: two in, one out; one in, two out. We’re doing the best that we can and we continue to look at it and improve on it every year.”

As Durrer and all those affiliated with the Hanover Tomato Festival start looking to 2015, she extended a special thank you to the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, Hanover County FireEMS, Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Virginia Department of Transportation and all of the sponsors and partners that make the event a success.

dren, great- grandchildren, nieces, nephews and close cousins. Tommy retired after 22 plus years with the USPS. He held several patents at the post office for the many parts he developed over the years. He always enjoyed the challenge of learning something new. Tommy’s friends are often quoted stating, “What a smart and talented man!”

He had a strong love for technology, mechanics, music and fishing. In his early years, he devised and invented many creative adventures with his best friend, Teddy Frederickson. And later owned S&W High Performance and a shared passion for award winning drag racing with his friend Glenn Stone. In recent years, he renewed that love of mechanics and racing with good friend, Chester Houghtaling. Tommy will be greatly missed by his family and friends. A memorial and celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, any memorial contributions may be made to Elizabeth A. Watkins.

175 claims third straight regular season title

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The previous two year, Mechanicsville Post 175 won the American Legion District 11 regular season championship. It captured the District 11 tournament championship, but fell both years in the Virginia state tournament.

Wednesday, with a 72 victory over Lakeside Post 125 at Hanover High School, Mechanicsville had claimed the regular season district title for the third straight year.

Post 175 begins the district tournament Thursday against Ashland Post 206 at Hanover.

Now it hopes to earn its third straight tournament title – and go on to break its string of frustration in the state tournament, which begins July 28.

Mechanicsville lost twice in a six-game-in-six-day stretch in the middle of the season when fatigue overcame its focus. It should go into the District 11 tournament well rested and on point.

“We have a four-day break,” said Post 175 coach Bobby White. “We should go into the tournament completely healthy, ready to go. The main focus is just to be playing good baseball.”

Post 175 was certainly playing good baseball Saturday night when it thrashed Post 206 at Atlee High School. The

game was close until the fourth inning, when Mechanicsville scored seven runs to go ahead 12-2.

Unlike in previous years in which the batting order was loaded with power, Post 175 has to rely on aggressive baserunning and thoughtful hitting.

First baseman Andrew Sergent is one Mechanicsville player who has been working on improving his approach at the plate, and it paid off Saturday

The Mechanicsville Local

July 16, 2014

with a 5-for-5 performance.

“Sometimes at the beginning of an at-bat, I get unfocused and just try to hit the ball as hard as I can,” Sergent said. “But after I get a strike on me I zero in and, like, ‘Get good contact. Hit the ball in the grass somewhere.’

That’s what I do, and sometimes I get a good pitch and hit it well.”

Post 125 coach Doug Wagner admires Mechanicsville’s defense, which robbed Lakeside

of several hits Wednesday night, and its pitching depth.

“They can play,” Wagner said. “Their outfield, I tell you what – nothing drops in that outfield. Those kids fly around.

That left fielder [Anthony Zona] and center fielder [Haiden Lamb] ... they’re good.

Defensively, they’re real good.

And you see how many kids [White] pitched against us. He can just keep mixing it up.”

For now, Post 175 is focused

on its first tournament opponent, Post 206. Ashland will be sending its best pitcher, Brett Whitlow, who held Mechanicsville to just three runs in a 3-2 Post 175 victory in their first meeting this season.

“We’ve got Brett, who’ll be on the hill for us,” said Post 206 coach Cody Crawley. “And we’ll have some guys that we didn’t have tonight. I think we’ll be alright.

White expects nothing less.

“Clearly, as a coach, I’m going to remind [the team] that every team that we play from this point forward is going to give their best effort and going to throw good arms – 206 is no exception,” White said. “We know we’re going to have our hands full. They’re not a bad team when [Whitlow is] on the mound.”

Rush earns shot at college basketball career

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch Blake Rush took the pen in his right hand, leaned over the table and signed his name on the dotted line of his college scholarship. With a few squiggles of his pen, he was one of a handful of college athletes nationwide in the sport of wheelchair basketball.

It was late May, just a few weeks before Rush graduated from Lee-Davis High School.

Teachers, administrators and his parents joined him for a ceremony to formally commit to Edinboro University in Pennsylvania. While wheelchair basketball has grown in exposure, what is not as well-known is a few colleges have teams and offer scholarships.

Across the country, there are about nine.

“It blew my mind that there were programs out there like that,” Lee-Davis boys basketball coach Robert Rice said. “I was so excited to hear that.”

When Rush learned he could get a scholarship for wheelchair basketball, he had an incentive to better his game and his grades.

Two schools, Alabama and Edinboro, offered Rush scholarships.

Rush chose Edinboro, a school that caters to students with disabilities and employs one of the sport’s most notable coaches, Jim Glatch. Rush and Glatch met at a basketball camp when Rush was 12 or 13 years old. It didn’t take long for the two to hit it off.

“He’s just a good kid,” Glatch said. “He’s a very good basketball player. I know he’s a great student.” §§§ Born with spina bifida, a congenital disorder that causes the vertebrae to never fully

Right, Rush wears an Edinboro University shirt while shooting hoops after a press conference at the school on May 20 where he talked about the scholarship.

form, Rush has been confined to a wheelchair his whole life.

He has two older brothers, and all Rush ever wanted was to do what they did: play sports, hunt and fish.

His parents looked for opportunities for Rush to keep up with his brothers. They found the Wheelin’ Sportsmen, a group that takes people with disabilities outdoors. And they found Little League’s Challenger baseball, a league he played in for eight years.

But Rush yearned for something more competitive.

That’s when his parents found Sportable, an organization that provides adaptive sports for kids. He tried tennis, rugby and lacrosse. But basketball, he discovered, was his calling.

But there weren’t any other teams to play in town. The next closest youth team was in Fairfax. So the Sportable Spokes traveled up the East Cost to Philadelphia or Washington or Baltimore to find opponents.

In a weekend tournament, they

might play four games.

There aren’t age groups, really. Anyone 18 or under can play in the junior division. Once, Sportable traveled to North Carolina with a squad of young teenagers. Their opponent was a team of 17- and 18-year-olds.

“That didn’t really work out so well,” Rush said.

He stuck with Sportable, and the team got better each year. The sport is coed, but Sportable had mostly boys on the roster. Now 18, Rush played his final season with the group last winter.

Rice, the Lee-Davis boys basketball coach, offered Rush the opportunity to practice in the gym alongside the varsity

team. The two started talking basketball strategy and developed a friendship. Rice invited Rush to sit beside him on the sidelines as an assistant coach.

“His love for the game was as much as my love for the game,” Rice said. “So I wanted him to be with us every day.”

When he was 14, Rush joined an adult team, the Richmond Rim Riders. That’s when the competition got intense. Many of his teammates were grizzled veterans who have played for 10 or 20 years.

The game was faster and rougher. It wasn’t uncommon to see a player knocked to the ground, his wheels flying into the air, when he leaned too far

to make a pass or slammed too hard into an opponent’s chair.

“It was a little scary at first,” Rush said.

At the most basic levels, wheelchair basketball is the same game played on playgrounds and in expansive arenas. The hoop is the same. The 3-point line is the same. Two pushes on the wheels equal two steps. If the player holding the ball doesn’t dribble every two pushes, he’s called for traveling.

Where the game changes is in the nuance of strategy. A good defender will block the ball holder by driving his chair into his opponent’s. The wheels are angled inward so players’ hands won’t clank when their

chairs make contact. With nowhere to go, the offensive player is forced to pass. At the same time, other offensive players use their chairs to set screens and open up a clean shot. §§§ This fall, the Edinboro wheelchair basketball team will celebrate its 30th year. Back in 1985, a group of students approached the school’s administration and asked to start a wheelchair basketball team.

Edinboro already offered a number of special services for students with disabilities.

The school provides vans for students who need trans-

MRA dominant in GRAL win NASCAR tests tires (again) at RIR

Most of the swimmers were dressed in 21st-century aquatic attire, but some outside Mechanicsville Recreation Association’s pool Wednesday night did what they could to recall the past.

But they did not try so hard so as to distract from the swimming – and that was a good things for the Marlins, who dominated visiting Tuckahoe Village West in a Greater Richmond Aquatic League swim meet.

Audrey Leonard was the big winner of the evening, claiming four victories in the 8-andunder age group: in the 100meter mixed medley relay (with Tyler Earley, Zachary Conti and Dylan Haggerty), the 100-meter

Mechanicsville coach Ari Brothers said she put a number of swimmers in events that had not competed in before.

“I just put a lot of my kids in 100 [butterfly], which is one of the hardest events, so I know they weren’t too happy with me,” Brothers said. “But they all did it. … So I’m very proud of them.”

Weeks before the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway, NASCAR and Goodyear came to town to test new tire composition on the three-quarter mile oval.

Something did not quite work out, as anyone who saw the race – full of disintegrating tires spreading debris and setting cars on fire – knows.

Last week, they came back to try again. Goodyear, along with drivers Aric Almirola, Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson and Cole Whitt came to the track last Tuesday and Wednesday in an effort to try to avoid a repeat performance in the Federated Auto Parts 400 in September – the last race to make the Chase.

The challenge is in the right front tire, which takes the brunt of the shear forces in the turns. Hamlin said a change in the design of the cars, which produces more downward force, makes it difficult to design a tire with sufficient grip and durability on

the corners.

“We added more down force, but the tires didn’t change too much,” Hamlin said. “These cars are putting out so much down force now that it really puts Goodyear in a tough spot to build a tire that’s reliable enough, without making it so hard that it’s like concrete and the racing is awful. … The more down force we put on the car, the more it’s going to lead to tire problems.”

Biffle said the testing was going pretty well, with

Goodyear putting forward a design that represented a compromise between a new design and past designs that worked well.

“We all liked the 2013 tire which seemed to have good grip and all that, but I understand NASCAR’s, or Goodyear’s, concern,” Biffle said. “With this car being a little bit faster, a little more grip, a little more down force, they made a decision to go with a little bit different tire. So, obviously, they want to come back and find something a little bit better than [the tire used in April]. I think that we’ve found a tire that’s a decent compromise.”

Testing conditions may play a role in finding the right mix. During the spring testing session, cool temperatures made it difficult to replicate racing conditions. Last week, conditions were more realistic.

“The track is hot enough where it’s actually taking rubber,” Hamlin said. “So it simulates a pretty good race surface even though the track is pretty hot. These are extreme conditions. These are the conditions you want to be tire testing in.”

portation from dorm room to classroom, a wheelchair repair room stocked with chair parts, and textbooks written in braille, among many other services. So adding a wheelchair basketball team was a perfect fit.

At first, it was an intramural group. After a few years, it became more competitive and scheduled opponents outside the boarders of Edinboro.

In 1995, the Rolling Scots, as they became known, hired as their coach Glatch, who had worked for Special Olympics.

Glatch started recruiting players and building the team.

“The more I got to play it, the more I fell in love with the game,” Glatch said. “It’s a great game.”

But most of his players were coming from outside the state of Pennsylvania and paying higher tuition. So he and his wife, Sandy, started a scholar-

Instead, they’re part of the National Wheelchair Basketball Association, which oversees collegiate and club teams across the nation. Only seven teams in the country compete in the men’s intercollegiate division: Edinboro, Alabama, Wi s c o n s i n - W h i t e w a t e r, Southwest Minnesota State, Texas at Arlington, Illinois and Missouri.

Arizona has a team, too, but it plays in a different division.

So does Auburn, which just started a wheelchair basketball program.

During the season, the Rolling Scots will attend four tournaments with other college teams. They might play six games in a weekend. The rest of the season is made up of games against high-level club teams.

That kind of travel won’t

be new to Rush. He’s used to crisscrossing the country to play wheelchair basketball. His last tournament was held in Louisville, Ky. That’s when he started to feel pain in his abdomen.

The tournament ended, and Rush tried to survive the long drive home. But the discomfort became too much. He stopped with his parents at an emergency room in West Virginia.

“It was hurting me too bad,” Rush said.

A few days later, he had surgery at VCU Medical Center, and a kidney stone the size of a golf ball was extracted from his bladder. For three or four days, he was stuck sitting in one position, barely able to move.

What really hurt, he said, was not being able to play basketball. But Rush has never been one to complain.

“He could have every right to wish he was someone else,” Rice said. “And he never once had anything other than a smile on his face.”
