Retired FDNY firefighter honors L&M’s support By Meredith Rigsby News Editor MECHANICSVILLE — Tom Delpino, a retired New York City firefighter and representative of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to the Towers Foundation, visited L&M Carpet One in Mechanicsville last week to honor and personally thank owner Morris Shelton for his support of the foundation’s Building for America’s Bravest (BFAB) program. L&M Carpet One and its manufacturing partner, Mohawk, have committed to provide the flooring and installation for 46 “smart homes” under this initiative.

David Deal, Hanover Tavern Foundation executive director, points to the exposed beams that will highlight the new center’s interior space.The new building will host weddings, receptions, business meetings and any other gathering in a fullyheated year-round venue, which is situated in historic Hanover Courthouse.
In recognition of its dedication and support, Delpino visited the Mechanicsville Carpet One on Tuesday, May 5, to present a speciallydesigned shadowbox containing 9/11 steel from Ground Zero to the store owner. “It’s a great cause, one that we are on board with 100 percent and I couldn’t think of a better cause,” Shelton said. “We are behind it all the way.” Through the Stephen Siller Tunnel to the Towers Foundation, the BFAB program builds hiMeredith Rigsby/The Local tech smart homes for service members returning L&M Carpet One owner Morris Shelton, second from right, and employees Renton Arkesteyn, from war who have been catastrophically injured. second from left, and Matt Shelton, right, were presented with a special gift of recognition from see FIREFIGHTER, pg. 4

Hanover Tavern addition almost complete By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — After a slow start due to weather delays during the winter, a new educational and activities center at Hanover Tavern is almost complete and ready for spring activities. “They started construction in very late December with some basic things and really got cranking the first of January,”
said David Deal, executive director of the Hanover Tavern Foundation, the group entrusted with the care and management of the county landmark. “We lost three weeks in the winter due to bad weather,” Deal said. “From beginning to completion, it’s still going to be less than five months.” h The new center is an integral part of the tavern’s “Building our Future” campaign, a $2 million effort that involves the new cen-
ter, expanded educational programs and upgrades to the existing tavern. Deal said the foundation has a five-year plan to accomplish those goals, and the new center is a welcome addition to the tavern’s facilities. For the past decade, a large tent in the rear yard has accommodated concerts, receptions and other events. The bookings see TAVERN, pg. 4

Andrew Gayle of Troop 534 is working on his Boy Scout Eagle project, a five-piece dog agility course for the new Pole Green Dog Park in Mechanicsville. His plans include a teeter-totter, a-frame walk, platform walk, jump ring and single jump. He started building on Saturday, May 9. A representative from the dog food company Nutro, which is owned by Mars Inc., purchased many supplies for this project. They nationally known dog food company has headquarters in Richmond. That donation, along with many others, has made Andrew’s project possible. Many dogs and their owners will be able to utilize the dog park and equipment for years to come. A large group of Mechanicsville residents, as well as from across the state, joined Andrew on Saturday at Pole Green Park to construct the pieces. Another work day is planned from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 16 at the dog park. According to Andrew, the Friends of Hanover Dog Parks installed water lines and the land was donated by Hanover County. “This is an important project that will benefit the dogs in our community as well as their owners,” he said. “Everyone will be able to enjoy the socialization and outdoor exercise time.” To register to participate, go to www.SignUpGenius.com/go/ 10COE49ACAE28A0FB6-andrew.

These houses are adapted to each soldier’s specific injuries and needs. Some of the houses have wider hallways or elevators and most everything in the home is controlled via a smartphone. Manufacturer Mohawk is providing the flooring and carpeting for the homes while Carpet One is providing the labor. Combined, the flooring, installation and labor equates to a donation of anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the size of the house and what has to be done.

are a vital part of the facility’s revenue and the new facility will only enhance those opportunities. “This is a fully-heated, yearround facility with catering facilities and restrooms. We’ll use it for fundraising events and increased educational programs,” Deal said. “It’s going to be a great source of revenue for the Foundation because people will be able to rent for business events as well as weddings and receptions.”
“So far, there’s 15 houses completed, 14 are under construction, 12 are in the planning stages and we promise 200,” Delpino said. Wounded soldiers are selected for the smart home program based on the severity of their injuries. Many of the candidates are double, triple and quadruple amputees or have suffered injuries such as severe burns on the majority of their bodies. In addition to providing flooring and installation for the soldiers’ smart homes, L&M Carpet One also is asking all customers to donate $10 toward the program. The majority, 89.7 percent, of every monetary donation goes toward support-
ing the building of the smart homes, which cost on average $500,000, depending on the soldier’s needs. “If 10 percent of all the sales in Carpet One gave $10, that’s $800,000 —that’s almost two houses,” Delpino said. “If 50 percent gave $10, that’s $4 million — that’s eight houses completed. It really goes a long way and to get our goal of 200 houses we need the money.” The Stephen Siller Tunnel to the Towers Foundation was named in honor of Fire Department of New York City (FDNY) 9/11 fallen firefighter Stephen Siller and is best known for its annual Tunnel to the Towers Run at Ground Zero
in New York City. The annual 5K run and walk takes place in September and follows the footsteps that firefighter Siller ran on the morning of 9/11. On September 11, 2001, Siller strapped on his gear and ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers to provide aid and assistance. During his service, he perished along with 342 other soldiers. “You are our frontline soldiers now,” Delpino said. “These guys and girls wrote a blank check for our country and we need to take care of them so they can have a decent life.”
Deal said the Foundation has raised $1.6 million of the necessary funds for the campaign and fundraising for the project should be completed by the end of the year. “Then we can start working on the five-year plan to make the improvements to the building and the educational programs,” Deal said. Carlton Abbott, an architect who specializes in historic structures, designed the building that is inspired by a stable at Hickory Hill Plantation. “We wanted to find a barn here in Hanover County to
model it after,” Deal said.” It’s nice to have the building based in Hanover history.” E.J. Wade Construction of Mechanicsville is constructing the building. “They were excited about doing a stickbuilt, custom-built building,” Deal said. Deal said the past five months have been hectic with numerous deadlines and tight schedules, but he also said he is convinced the efforts have been well worth the time and energy. “We are really excited about this,” he said. “There’s not other
venue like this anywhere close. This is going to be one of the nicest facilities available for any meeting.” The building hosted it first event, a Casino Night, on Tuesday, May 12, to raise money for the Foundation. After that, Deal said the schedule goes full tilt throughout the coming months. “We already have a number of wedding receptions booked for the facility,” Deal said. “We think it will be great investment for Hanover Tavern. We put a lot in it and we expect to get a lot out of it.”

ERA Woody Hogg and Associates to raise funds for MD By Meredith Rigsby News Editor MECHANICSVILLE — On Saturday, May 30, ERA Woody Hogg and Associates will host its first-ever fundraising event to support children with Muscular Dystrophy. A Day in May for MDA is free to the public and will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 9173 Chamberlayne Road. The fundraiser will collect money to provide kids suffering with Muscular Dystrophy the opportunity to go to a summer camp that is specially tailored to their needs. At the camp, “They modify
the activities so that the kids can either do it [activities] in their wheelchair or they have certain things that can be done with assistance,” said ERA Woody Hogg and Associates office coordinator Savannah Scott. “The kids are still getting to do the same activities that they see their classmates doing, but they’re just modified to fit their specific physical needs.” The cost of the week-long camp is about $1,000 per child and ERA Woody Hogg and Associates hopes to raise at least $3,500 for the cause. Thus far, they have managed to raise

Lessons learned the hard way
From the editor
Are you ready? GOP primary election nears Teresa Smithson, Hanover County voter registrar, and her staff always seem to be ready for whatever is headed their way at election time. And sometimes that can be overwhelming. She, however, leads well and is prepared for the June 9 Republican Party Primary Election. In-person absentee voting is now available. Those who qualify may submit their ballots in the Voter Registration office in the Wickham Building at the County Complex between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 6. Mark your calendar if you haven’t registered to vote or need to make changes to your voter registration. Monday, May 18, is the last day to do so. Tuesday, June 2, is the last day to request an absentee ballot by mail or fax. The last day of in-person absentee balloting is Saturday, June 6, with the schedule of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. being available in the registrar’s office. Those who need to submit an emergency ballot have until 2 p.m. on Monday, June 8. As usual, polling hours are 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Hanover County. Again, the Republican Primary will be conducted on Tuesday, June 9. According to Smithson, the election canvass will get underway at noon on Wednesday, June 10. Those who wish to register to vote or update their registration may go online at www.vote.virginia.gov. To check your status or polling place, visit www.sbe.virginia.gov or contact the Hanover County registrar at 804-365-6080. I would be remiss if I didn’t include my traditional election time theme: If you want to be a part of the solution, vote. You do make a difference.

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Nothing exposes a nation’s sore spots more than a week of rioting, and the intense media coverage that accompanies it. That was certainly true this past week, as protesters took to the streets of Baltimore to voice their objections to police brutality. Specifically, residents of Baltimore took exception to a lack of transparency surrounding the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African American man arrested two weeks ago. It is unclear why police chased,
eventually caught and detained Gray for carrying a knife later determined to be legal. Sometime during that process, Gray’s spinal cord was severed and he died a week later after never regaining consciousness. The incident exposed a system that often does not value the rights of the arrested, and a philosophy that whatever it takes to keep the peace is okay. It’s not. The weeklong rioting also exposed a level of inconsistency in policing that sometimes exhibits an appearance of unfairness. In reality, all situations are
not the same when it comes to community policing and factors like officer safety are important. While protesters were genuinely concerned over the death of Gray and the circumstances that surrounded it, the upheaval revealed more serious problems that many of our suburban centers are experiencing. The sense of hopelessness that permeates some of these neighborhoods provides the perfect fuel for civil disobedience, and people feel disenfranchised as they have nothing to lose when they take to the streets. see LESSONS, pg. 8
LETTERS | Reader Views
Public education: Who can be trusted? In the Spring 2015 issue of the Hanover Review, Wayne Hazzard, chairman of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, penned a note for the public. Hazzard writes, “… I think 2015 is going to be a good year because of the way your board of supervisors started it. The very first vote … was approval of a resolution to allow “IN GOD WE TRUST” to be displayed in our Administration Building.” That statement raises several interesting questions. Some folks may be concerned about separation of church and state. Some, on religious grounds, will be offended by this prominent display of our religious heritage. Personally, neither of these issues concerns me. As our nation was founded with a strong belief and frequent reference to God, and as long as we are tolerant and accepting of other faiths, “In God We Trust” is fine by me. The important question for those concerned about public education in Hanover County is “Who can we trust?” I expect God, or whoever you define as the higher power in your life, has his/her hands full with all the issues exploding on our planet. Public education in Hanover County may not get much attention from that sector. So, on this matter of public education, who can we trust? Unfortunately, in my opinion, I find it difficult to place trust in the board of supervisors. Why is this? For the 2016 fiscal year funding for public school education operations (excluding capital improvements) from the county’s General Fund is set at $77 million, or about 35 per-
cent of the total General Fund. At the outset of the country’s economic recovery (2009) funding was $79.4 million, or 37 percent of the General Fund. In inflation adjusted dollars, the only true way to look at expenditures, public education has lost some $10 million in funding from Hanover County. The board of supervisors controls this flow of funds to our public schools. Two years ago, the Capital Improvement Fund for public education included $55 million for the renovation of four decades-old schools. Today, the fund for the schools is down to $16 million. The county has, or so it would seem, eliminated the long overdue school renovation. In its place, the county will build a new $40 million monument to our judiciary system. The board of supervisors controls this flow of funds. Various members of the board of supervisors speak frequently about public education. see LETTERS, pg. 8

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. C.J., 398184, is a 3-year-old male fox hound. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. C.J. is a very nice dog that loves to run and play. He also is very mild-mannered in his cage. The staff at the pound said he could work as both an indoor/outdoor dog. He has a friendly personality and gets along well with other dogs. Big Boy, 400739, is a 4-year-old male neutered domestic short-haired cat. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Big Boy is a cat that was brought to the shelter earlier this month. He is very friendly to the staff and to the visiting public. He is very well litter trained. Big Boy will do best as a house cat. He is used to being inside. He also has was the only cat at his old house. There might be some adjustment if he were to go to a household with other animals. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

No one defends lawlessness, unlawful breaking and entering, auto theft and robbery, just a few of the crimes that gathered the national attention for days in Baltimore. Throwing rocks at police is not a legitimate protest, and stealing from and destroying the only pharmacy in the area is a short-sighted exercise in frustration. The only redemption that lies in the streets of the disenfranchised are the businesses and residents who refuse to give up on their communities,

Hazzard is concerned about “teachers standing around.” Sean Davis [Henry District, HCBOS] and others only want 100 percent certified pro-American material in our classrooms. Two years ago, an appointee the BOS’ Proffer Committee made no bones in forcefully advising me, “Teachers only work four hours a day …” Hopefully, members of the board do not hold this belief. From these remarks, along with the reduction in funding referenced above, could one detect a lack of respect from the board of supervisors for our public schools and our teachers? And, in this morass, where is the school board? With the exception of Glenn Millican, who was removed from the board by Canova Peterson [Mechanicsville District, HCBOS], I have yet to see any school board member stand up and challenge the board of

assumed its usual position in the post mortem analysis, how we move forward is much more important. Conversations that began in uncomfortable situations on the streets of Baltimore should continue in cities across America. And, perhaps, the latest episode in the growing pains of a nation will open some eyes as to the plight of people who survive in these depressed areas on a daily basis. Access to grocery stores, healthcare and other basic services are not available in many of these communities. Life becomes a struggle that
does not resemble the daily existence to which many of us are accustomed. It’s easy to watch the turmoil from a distance and exist in the false sense of security that the problems of a few are not the concern of all. Ignoring the problems result in situations like the week we’ve just endured in Baltimore. Providing fair and equitable opportunities for all Americans is a major portion of the dream that makes this country great. After Baltimore, it might be time for us to listen, discuss and act on longstanding problems that challenge our nation at its most basic core.
supervisors. In an apparent subtle step to take even further control of public education activity, the board of supervisors now conducts “Joint Education Committee” meetings with the school board members and other high profile county officials. The meetings are open to the public (but I expect most county residents have no idea about these highstake meetings) and they are usually held in mid-afternoon when parents, teachers and other stake-holders are unable to attend. All in all, when it comes to public education, it is hard to develop a sense of “trust” with the current board of supervisors. There is, however, an underlying issue that is even more critical than these actions by the BOS. Parents, residents and business owners/managers in Hanover County have, in large part, become too “busy” to delve into school issues. School Board meetings are one-way conversations that fail to address issues raised by
the public. It is generally perceived that our school system is “unsinkable.” This same hubris existed in 1915 in the days prior to the sinking of the Lusitania. Education is the cornerstone of a great community. With the sweep of globalization and hyper- technology, it is essential we give our students an opportunity to be ready for their future. Teachers don’t “stand around.” Teachers don’t work “four hour days.” If we, as a community, fail to support and respect our teachers and assure proper funding the school system will sink. I would like to believe that the God Hazzard wrote about would cause all this to turn out right. But as the wonderful Southern writer, Robert Inman (Old Dogs and Children, 1991), points out, “… you got to hoe. God do the growin’ but you does the hoein’. “ Our community needs to start hoeing.

So, it was especially hard for many Americans to empathize with the protesters as they virtually destroyed their own neighborhoods. The week of protests also peeled back the covers on long and continuing problems in our communities and our nation. Racial equality is a mission that never ends, and constant vigilance is required to ensure progress continues. While the blame game has
Melody Kinser, the managing editor of The Mechanicsville Local, wrote a powerful and insightful editorial entitled “Intolerance and bigotry have no place in society.” I agree with every word that she wrote. The article shows the double standard that exists in our country’s social and political culture today. Fourteen years of war, high unemployment, economic failure were all going on upon the arrival of President Barack Obama. Throughout his presidency, he has experienced opposition from a Right Wing Conservative Tea Party Congress and an unprecedented assault by them. Yet, today unemployment is at an all-time lower rate than before, the economy is above what he inherited and he is attempting to stay out of fullscale wars. At this time, the Right Wing see LETTERS, pg. 17

ASHLAND — Julie Coggsdale, chief of staff for Del. Chris Peace; Melissa Miller, executive director for Hanover Chamber of Commerce; and Lowe’s Heroes employee volunteers were among more than 50 volunteers to join Hanover Habitat for Humanity to help build affordable housing in the Hanover County area in recognition of National Women Build Week, May 2-10.

These will be the final two homes built in the Bailey Woods neighborhood, Hanover Habitat’s first neighborhood. National Women Build Week is a week-long event created by Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program that challenges women to devote at least one day to help build affordable housing in their local communities. Across the nation, more than 15,000 women were expected to volunteer at Habitat construction sites last week to spotlight the homeownership challenges faced by women.

OCKVILLE — Adversities are a fact of life for many people. How one handles adversity, however, can affect the outcome of the situation. In the new book, “When Lilacs Bloom” (published by Westbow Press), author Nicholas Lanni’s boyhood memories inspire a story of awakened faith and hope in spite of adversity Mike and Angel are courageous, despite the impossible situation they encounter. The couple keeps their faith and love alive, and is able

PHun Run set May 30 at PHHS Staff Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – As the 20142015 year prepares to conclude, several significant dates are on the calendars of Patrick Henry High School students. Principal Wanda Bibb noted that the PH Emerging Leaders will be hosting a PHun Run on Saturday, May 30. The event will be a color run/ walk held at the school. (A color run is an event where “runners are showered with colored powder, made of food-grade corn starch, at stations along the run,” according to en.wikipedia. org/wiki/The_Color_Run.) Carnival games, food and fun will follow the run. see PHHS, pg. 17
“Progress without consideration of the consequences can lead to social despair” Lanni said. “Only compassion for others can lead us away from social despair and closer to the word of God. Through his story, Lanni encourages readers not to judge others on appearances or first impressions. Everyone has stories to tell, he said, as he reminds readers that some stories end badly and that life’s circumstances and the choices people make must be dealt with in faith and love.

is threatening to close down Homeland Security, even though the President gave Congress one year and a half to pass legislation for humane treatment of millions of immigrants, but they failed to do it, so he used his executive powers to pass the legislation. Yet, they say he over-reached. The U.S. Supreme Court has turned over the Voting Rights Act that was enacted after many years of civil rights activities. This should never have been done because many people were hurt and lost their lives trying to get these laws passed so that all people would have the right to vote. Now, some states are using this restrictive voting access to prevent some people from voting that these laws were originally supposed to protect. The Affordable Care Act is now being attacked because there are those who do not want health care for people who cannot afford it. Since the President introduced and got

All other proceeds will go to CHOP (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia). Bibb also reminded students, it is relevant. It is not banned. Relevant is the key word. We all remember what happened several years ago. The education (teachers union) lobby had students lined up from the podium at the school board all the way out into the hall. They did the same thing at the Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting. The education (teachers union) lobby does not hesitate to play politics with students. The education (teachers union) lobby found this use of students to be counterproductive and for a period of time it stopped. Now we have Plan B. Plan B is social media. The formation of the Hanover Students for Freedom of Information and Learning is Plan B. Facebook and students is now the way to go. The goals of the education (teachers union) lobby have not changed. They want a meals tax. They want Common Core. They want to spend, spend and spend. They want to teach liberal politics.

Delegate’s Baltimore post on Facebook criticized By Jim Nolan Richmond Times-Dispatch Amid the civil unrest in Baltimore over the death of a black man in police custody, a Virginia lawmaker from Hanover County ignited controversy Tuesday, May 5, by posting a photo of a snarling police dog on Facebook and adding a suggestion. “I wonder if a few of these would help bring calm to Baltimore?” Del. Hyland F. “Buddy” Fowler Jr., R-Hanover, said in the comment he posted with the Facebook photo. The PoliceOne.com image depicted a K-9 handler in SWAT gear restraining the snarling police dog. At the top of the picture is a dare: “Go ahead and run.” The caption at the bottom of the picture reads: “He likes fast food.” The posting and picture were captured Tuesday and reposted on the left-leaning political blog Blue Virginia. Parts of Fowler’s Facebook page are acces-
sible only to those with whom he is a Facebook “friend.” Soon after the post became publicly viewable, it drew harsh criticism from fellow lawmakers and African-American leaders. They said they were disturbed and disgusted by the juxtaposition of Fowler’s comment with the photo of a police officer and a threatening dog, and that it conjured images of brutality used by law enforcement against protesters during the civil rights marches in the South in the 1960s. “I don’t know whether he thinks it is a joke or funny, but what I do know FOWLER is that it is insensitive, unhelpful and in total disregard for the difficult situation facing the citizens of Baltimore and, honestly, the public safety officers,” said state Sen. A. Donald McEachin, D-Henrico.
“As Baltimore residents express their frustration and anger over the death of an unarmed citizen and as police struggle to maintain order in these difficult times, Del. Fowler chooses to exacerbate a tense and very difficult situation with his idea of humor, if one can even stoop to call it that.” Six officers have been charged with homicide in the death of Baltimore resident Freddie Gray, who suffered a fatal injury while riding in a police van after being taken into custody. Gray’s death led to days of protests and civil unrest in the city, which was under a curfew for several days. McEachin said Fowler “abrogated his responsibility as a public servant.” Fowler acknowledged the Facebook post in a statement forwarded by Matt Moran, a spokesman for Speaker of the House William J. Howell, R-Stafford. “I took the post down,” Fowler said. “It was not very thoughtful and I apologize to anyone who was offended by it.
“The situation in Baltimore is difficult and complicated and comments like that don’t help. I hope people understand I didn’t mean anything by it, that it was just a mistake.” The Fowler post also brought a rebuke from Toni Radler, his Democratic opponent in November for the 55th District seat. “I think this Facebook post shows both a complete lack of understanding of problems between African-Americans and police — we can’t deny they exist — as well as a disregard for building trust,” Radler said. “And worse, I think it’s racist, whether intentional or not.” Radler, a retired director of communications for what is now ChildFund International, lost to Fowler in 2013. The reliably Republican seat had opened with the retirement of Del. John A. Cox, R-Hanover. Fowler served as an aide to Cox from 2009 to 2013 and as an aide to his predecessor, Del. Frank D. Hargrove Sr., R-Hanover, from 2000 to 2009.

SJMS principal receives REB Leadership Award MECHANICSVILLE – Nancy O. Disharoon, principal of Stonewall Jackson Middle School, recently was recently named the Hanover County Public Schools winner of the 2014-2015 REB Distinguished Educational Leadership by The Community Foundation. As a recipient, Disharoon will receive a $7,500 cash grant, as well as an additional $7,500 to be used towards a school project. This annual award is presented to one principal from each school division in the counties of Hanover, Henrico and Chesterfield, as well as the City of Richmond. It serves to “recognize the principals who go beyond the day-to-day demands of their position to
create an exceptional educational environment.” Candidates can be nominated by the public, school community, or they may submit themselves for consideration. “It is really hard to put into words what the REB award means to me. I do my job and I love it, and that is reward enough. When I was nominated, I felt like I had already won. I was humbled to know that my colleagues and a parent had taken the time to recognize me. I am overwhelmed with emotion, and I’m grateful for every single person who has helped me throughout my career to get to this point,” said Disharoon. “I’m incredibly proud of Nancy’s well-deserved accomplishment. Her genuine and
selfless nature is evident in all that she does on behalf of our students, her staff, and school division each day. While there are so many demands placed upon a principal, she never loses focus on what matters most—her students and their achievement,” said Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson, superintendent. Disharoon said she plans to use the $7,500 in school project funds to create a dedicated “maker space” within the SJMS library called “Innovation Station.” Here, students will have the opportunity to work with a variety of materials and technology to create artwork, build machines, develop models, and test their creative ideas. The funds also will be used to purchase of a 3D printer.

“The possibilities are only limited by the students’ imagination,” said Disharoon. Disharoon began her career in education in 1986 as an ele-
mentary school teacher and has been employed with Hanover County Public Schools since 2004. She has served as the principal of Stonewall Jackson
Middle School since 2009. Information submitted by Chris R. Whitley, Hanover County Public Schools public information officer.

a senior history major at Bridgewater College, is among three students who are co-curating the exhibition, “BC Goes Downton: Life Here and Across the Pond from 1900-1920.” The hit PBS television series “Downton Abbey” and life in the Edwardian era provided the inspiration for the exhibition, which is free and open to the public. It continues through June 1, on the lower floor of the Alexander Mack Memorial Library. During the school year the library is open Monday– Thursday from 7:45 a.m. until 1 a.m.; Friday from 7:45 a.m. until 9 p.m.; Saturday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m.; and Sunday from noon until 1 a.m. Summer hours are Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. In the exhibition, the college gives a nod to the Edwardian era as portrayed in “Downton Abbey,” and moves forward to explore life in Bridgewater, as well. Three spheres of life are examined: those of a Bridgewater household, a Bridgewater
College student and a World War I soldier. Edwardian and post-Edwardian items from the college’s Reuel B. Pritchett Museum, as well as archives and photographs from Bridgewater College Special Collections, will anchor the exhibition. Artifacts on display include a set of regional calling cards and trade cards, a stoneware jug from the early Bridgewater College dining hall, Edwardian era china used in Bridgewater, vintage clothing, popular World War I sheet music and items carried by World War I soldiers. “We especially enjoyed connecting with early 20th century Bridgewater College students, administrators and faculty by viewing photographs of these people, reading about them in archived college publications and examining items that they owned and created,” said Gardner. “Many of us are ‘Downton Abbey’ fans, and I think visitors will enjoy how the see HONORS, pg. 26

For Locks of Love Photo submitted by Chiara Bailey
For 10-year-old Rosalia Bailey, the holiday spirit is a year-round thing. She’s been letting her hair grow long ever since she last donated 10 inches of it to Locks of Love at age 5. Around Christmastime, she donated 10 more inches of her hair with her mom, Chiara Ascari Bailey, once again, to Locks of Love. “I’ve been growing my hair out for a little more than five years, waiting to donate to kids who need wigs, and I was very happy to get a new cut that I really love and give some kids that really need it a great Christmas present,” Rosalia said. She is a dancer, she takes acting classes, and she plays the piano. She’s a fifth grader who really enjoys being the team captain on her Reading Olympics team and reading all the books.

Farmers’ Market Ministry opens today at local church Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
Photo submitted by Donald Rozell
The Cold Harbor Ruritan Club spent a brisk Saturday morning cleaning up the Cold Harbor Battlefield Park and The Garthright House. As a club, Donald Rozzell, president, said they took on this task for the rest of the year. “Our club enjoys giving back to our community as we approach our 50-year anniversary. For people that have not visited this park , the park has paved walking trails , lots of nature to take in , and picnic tables . The parks belong to the people, let’s enjoy them and keep them all clean.”
MECHANICSVILLE — A new season of the Farmers’ Market Ministry is scheduled to open on Wednesdays, starting today (May 13), at the New Highland Baptist Church in Mechanicsville. “The mission of the NHBC Farmers’ Market is to help local growers and vendors, who grow or make their own products, connect with the community and provide fresh, locally-grown food,” said Buddy Johnson, co-manager of this ministry and church member. “In addition, the church is answering God’s call to practice environmental and resource stewardship by providing healthy food options and reducing the carbon footprint of what is consumed.” This will be the fourth season for the Farmers’ Market. New this year is a collaboration with Feed More, which is Central Virginia’s hungerrelief leader made up of the Central Virginia Food Bank, Meals on Wheels Serving Central Virginia and the Community Kitchen. In addition, the NHBC Farmers Market is one of the first markets to participate in the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. By expanding the marketing scope, New Highland members said they hope to double the customer base to provide more healthy food options to the community. The idea to bring a market ministry to the New Highland campus stemmed from a strategic plan done by the church in 2010. The church campus is adjacent to a large field and ideas were generated on how the church can use its resources to help the community. “There are a number of local farmers around us who sell items on the weekends in other markets. However, this Wednesday weekly opportunity will give them a mid-week option to sell their produce before the next weekend rolls around,” said Mike Sandridge, church member, NHBC Market co-manager, and owner of Sandridge and Sons Honey. For the initial year (2012), the church received a grant through Dover Baptist Association to help with start-up funds for marketing, signs and advertising cost. see MARKET, pg. 35

McIntyre has a big blast against Hanover By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – For the first four innings, Hanover and Lee-Davis fought to a virtual draw in their softball contest at Lee-Davis High School Wednesday. But Lee-Davis shortstop Lauren McIntyre’s bases-loaded single with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning drove home a pair of runs to give the Confederates the boost they needed to coast to a 4-0 lead over the Hawks. Hanover pitcher Haley Gilbert began the Lee-Davis fifth by getting two straight fly outs, but then ran into trouble, giving up a single to Lee-Davis left fielder Sydney Guess and back-to-back walks to center fielder Heather Childress and designated player Jesse Gentry to load the bases. McIntyre stepped up to the plate knowing Gilbert was under pressure. “My first two at-bats I had
gotten a lot of balls,” McIntyre said. “I knew the bases were loaded, so obviously she was not trying to walk another person. I wanted to get ahead before she got a chance to get ahead. … [The pitch] was inside – it was right there. It was like, ‘All right, I’m going for it!’ ” McIntyre dropped the ball over the third-baseman’s head in left field, and Guess and Childress scored to give the Confederates a 3-0 lead. McIntyre could barely contain her excitement. “I’m not going to lie – I did a little dance on first base,” she said. “It’s such a big rivalry game.” Guess opened the game for Lee-Davis (14-1) with a triple and scored on a Hanover error. The Confederates got their final run in the sixth inning. With one out, Elizabeth Hudson walked, stole second, advanced to third on a bunt single by Brooke Martin and scored on see BLAST, pg. 38

Yellow Jackets reach regional finals in first NCAA appearance By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor NEWPORT NEWS – Randolph-Macon’s softball team made a dent in its first appearance in the NCAA Division III

tournament. The Yellow Jackets, who earned an automatic bid to the tournament by winning its first Old Dominion Athletic Conference championship in April, began the tournament
The Mechanicsville Local
May 13, 2015
Friday by knocking off Ramapo – ranked No. 23 in the nation – 8-6 and ended the tournament Sunday as region runner-up. The only team RandolphMacon lost to in the double elimination tournament was
the champion and regional host, Christopher Newport. The Yellow Jackets first fell to the Captains 3-2 Saturday. Despite taking a 4-0 lead in the first inning of the region final Sunday, the Yellow Jackets fell
again to the Captains 11-6 to end what has turned out to be a spectacular season – and spectacular end – for them. “It’s honestly the most fun, you know, I’ve ever had playing softball,” said Katie Woody, a
former Patrick Henry standout. “It was a great experience, so, yeah, we had a lot of fun.” The Patriots gutted the first two (and a half) days out to get see NCAA, pg. 39
Youth movement helps Hawks pass C-feds By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – There’s a youth movement afoot at Hanover High School. The baseball team is filled to the brim with young, talented players. Of the 17 Hawks on the roster, there are four seniors and two freshmen. And one of those freshmen, Camden Grimes, provided the initial offensive firepower Wednesday night, propelling No. 7 Hanover to a 2-0 victory over No. 6 LeeDavis. Grimes rocked a 2-1 fastball over the center-field fence, breaking a scoreless tie in the top of the fourth. It was his third homer of the season. There are 10 juniors on the Hanover roster, including two committed to Division I teams, shortstop Cayman Richardson (Virginia) and first baseman John Gregory (Richmond). The other freshman is coach
Charlie Dragum’s son, Jack, who started at second base and pitched one inning in relief. The decision to keep Grimes on the varsity roster, Charlie Dragum said, was an easy one. He can hit for power and for a high average. He also can run, play catcher and third base. While playing varsity as a freshman has been a strange experience, it’s been an enjoyable one. Grimes batted second in the lineup and went 2 for 3. “It’s different,” Grimes said. “But (my teammates) have welcomed me in.” Grimes is the nephew of Charlie Dragum, so he’s attended Hanover baseball games for years. When the Hawks (11-3) won their second consecutive state title last year, he watched from the stands, wondering if he’d be on the field the next year. “I was hoping for it,” Grimes said. Hanover got its second run later in the fourth inning when
Hunter Marshall hit an RBI single, scoring Brady Didlake, one of Hanover’s four seniors. Didlake finished with a 2of-3 performance on the night. Hanover starter Grey Lyttle, who wasn’t at his best Wednesday night, threw five innings and persevered. He allowed a runner in all five innings. Three times, the Confederates (11-4) got a runner to third base, 90 feet from home. But all three were stranded there. When the game was over, Charlie Dragum praised his starter for hanging in there, eating up innings and not allowing a run. “That was awesome,” Charlie Dragum said. Eric Kolenich can be reached at ekolenich@timesdispatch. com.

Big second-inning lifts Patriots over Hanover By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – The expectation anytime two Hanover County high school softball teams get together is that a competitive game ensues. Patrick Henry was happy to shred that notion last Friday night when the Patriots, ranked No. 3 in the Times-Dispatch poll, played host to sixth-ranked Hanover in the schools’ only meeting this season. The Patriots scored six runs in the second inning, added two runs in the fourth and concluded the game in the bottom of the sixth based on the slaughter rule when Jenna Pitts’ single drove in two runs to make the
score 10-0. “Coming off a couple of weeks where we haven’t had a lot of games and our strength of schedule hasn’t necessarily been as strong in the past few weeks, we were a little bit nervous about how we would come out [against Hanover],” Patrick Henry coach Shelby Foltz said. “We came out hitting the ball, and Candace [Whittemore] was throwing really well and we made plays on defense we needed to make. It definitely feels good whenever you can get a Hanover County win in.” Whittemore, the Patriots’ pitcher and a second-team All-Metro pitcher a year ago, struck out six Hawks, walked two and allowed only one hit.
As the team’s leadoff batter, she claimed two of the Patriots’ 13 hits. She supplied a two-run single in the Patrick Henry’s six-run second inning. Whittemore doesn’t consider herself a strikeout pitcher. “I don’t throw 65 miles an hour so I just do my best to try to get a groundout or an easy pop fly, and I know my defense is behind me to take care of that,” she said. Whittemore began the season with a new catcher, Grayson Radcliffe, but the Patriots needed Radcliffe at third base so Alex Reed catches now. “Me and Alex are getting in a groove now with each other, so that’s good,” Whittemore said. “Change was stressful at
the beginning because me and Grayson had started to get in the groove me and Alex are just now getting into. Then the switch changed it up a lot, but it’s worked out.” Radcliffe, a sophomore, has adapted to third base, and she is one of Patrick Henry’s most aggressive hitters and baserunners. Of the Patriots hits’ against Hanover, two were for extra bases: a double by Briana Woody and an RBI triple by Paige Mitchell. Radcliffe had two singles but stretched each one into two bases. “I’m always looking to take an extra base whenever I have the opportunity or when anybody has the opportunity, we
are always willing to take it because if you can get yourself in scoring position I know that I have people behind me who are going to get me around,” Radcliffe said. Past Patriots teams have been known for their power. “This year, we’re blessed with wheels,” Patrick Henry coach Shelby Foltz said. “Any extra base you can squeeze out is one step closer to scoring a run. … We have a lot of lefties in the lineup so small ball has been one of the tools we’ve been using. … We have girls who can do both. We do use small ball, and we do have girls who can hit for power.”
ERIE, Penn. – The Richmond Raiders took advantage of big second and third quarters to muffle the Erie Explosion 7046 Sunday. Richmond outscored the Explosion 49-25 during the course of the two quarters to overcome a slow start in the first quarter. The two teams traded touchdowns until mid-way through the second quarter. But in the final four minutes of the first half through the first eight minutes of the second half, the Raiders scored four touchdowns to just one for the Explosion to take a commanding 63-32 lead. Richmond split time between two quarterbacks. Jonathan Bane completed 13 of 18 passes for 162 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. Phil Konopka completed 10 of 18 passes for 122 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Robert Holland and Gerron Bryant each had eight receptions for the Raiders, with Holland gaining 131 yards and scoring two touchdowns while Bryant gained 106 yards for one touchdown. Herb Jones had five catches for

Hare, Hawks sweep C-feds in girls tennis match By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – If you look at the overall score, you might think that Hanover’s girls tennis team had an easy time getting past host Lee-Davis Tuesday night. Sure, the score was 9-0. But it sure wasn’t easy. Three of the victories were decided by tiebreakers, and one of the victories – a doubles victory – was anything but a cakewalk when one of the Confederates in the combo had to withdraw from the match because of a sudden illness. Hanover’s No. 1, Caroline Hare, needed tiebreaker to defeat Lee-Davis’ Casey Dunivan 46, 7-5, 10-6. Hare’s teammate Breanna Mouer, in
the No. 3 spot, likewise needed a tiebreaker to beat Confederate Adrianna Pope 6-2, 4-6, 10-5. The Kazelskis twins, Breanna and Morgan, needed a tiebreaker to defeat Pope and Taylor Crabbe 9-8 (7-5) in the No. 2 doubles. “Some of the girls didn’t play their best, but they pulled it out. They mentally were in there even though they weren’t playing their best.” said Hanover head coach Lindsey Hein. “Some of them played really well. It’s the mental toughness that carried us through. We try to harp on that in practice.” A good example of the importance of mental toughness was in the Kazelskis’ victory in the No. 2 doubles match – the last one of the day to finish.
FOUNDATION
“It was back-and-forth, back-and-forth, and they were down, actually, almost the entire match,” Hein said. “I don’t think they had the lead until they were up 8-7 – and they it went 8-all and then they won in the tiebreaker. That takes a lot of mental toughness, being down the entire match and then finally, toward the end, getting the win.” The Hawks’ other singles’ winners were Mattie Moon, Brooke Kazelskis, Emma Zombro and Lani Lestourgeon. Hare and Mouer in the No. 1 doubles and Zombro and Taylor Smith in the No. 3 doubles picked up Hanover’s other two wins. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

the threat. “We watched way too many strikes. That was our downfall tonight,” said Hanover head coach Stephanie Acors. “We just weren’t hitting our pitches. … We just weren’t taking quality at-bats.” Stonebraker finished with 12 strikeouts, giving up just two hits to Hanover batters. “She’s a great pitcher,” Acors said of Stonebraker. “I think she threw her ball game tonight and we let her. That’s what good pitchers do.” Lee-Davis head coach Jackie
Davis said Gilbert did a pretty good job on the mound for the Hawks too. “I thought their pitcher did a nice job of mixing things up and she kept us off-balance,” Davis said. “The innings that we were able to put the ball in play and make some things happen were innings that we were able to keep our hands high and cut through the ball. It was just a matter of adjusting and making things happen.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Lee-Davis attacker Mitchell Childress (11) scrambles for a ball near the Hermitage net in the Confederates’ 16-5 win Thursday.
C-fed lacrosse tames Panthers By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – For the first quarter, Hermitage kept within striking distance of host Lee-Davis in a Conference 11 boys lacrosse contest Thursday night. But in the second quarter, the Confederates took control, scoring six unanswered point to take a commanding 12-2 lead. By the time the game ended, Lee-Davis – led by five goals from Harrison Dixon – had finished off the Panthers 16-5. The Confederates (8-3) had

to the final with the Captains. They needed two extra innings to defeat Ramapo. After falling to Christopher Newport in their first game Saturday, they found
a 12-2 lead at halftime, which allowed them to substitute freely in the second half. “We were trying to make sure we could run a lot of our guys,” said Lee-Davis head coach Jarrott Patteson. “Just run a lot of our plays and get a lot of kids in just to get repetition and get used to playing.” Hermitage (0-11) was able to take advantage of the substitutions to generate more offense, particularly in the fourth quarter when the Panthers scored three goals, but two of those goals came on impressive shots. The last goal, by Mayson Davis, was
on a shallow angle from the left side. Davis – who finished with four goals on the night – had little room for error, but fired the ball perfectly into the opposite side of the Confederates’ net. “It’s just an instinct, ’cause I’ve been playing my whole live,” Davis said of the shot. “I’ve been practicing a lot lately.” The Panthers’ next-to-last goal was even more impressive. Justin Roberts was falling in front of the Lee-Davis goal when he fired through a crowd and scored. “I don’t know how he did it, but I loved it,” Davis said.
Those moments of celebration came too infrequently for Hermitage, however. The Panthers were under a relentless Confederate attack most of the night, and the score would have been even more lopsided were it not for the work of Hermitage goalkeeper Sean Boyer, who finished with 17 saves. L.B. Butler had three goals for Lee-Davis and Mitchell Childress had two. Six other Confederates each scored a goal. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
themselves in a 12-inning marathon against Salem – a game that had to be finished with five innings Sunday morning. They also had to overcome 17 errors in their first three games. But they found ways to get the runs they needed against all but the top-seeded Captains.
“They’re definitely a good team,” Woody said. “We enjoy playing them – it’s a little bit of a rivalry. We did the best we could.” Randolph-Macon head coach Kevin Proffitt they accomplished their mission. “Our mindset really wasn’t
just to show up and just be kind of content with that,” Proffitt said. “Our hope was and our goal was to get to the final day and give ourselves a chance to hoist another trophy.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
MECHANICSVILLE – While both Hanover and LeeDavis’ boys tennis teams are in rebuilding mode this season, the Hawks need less rebuilding than the Confederates do. Hanover’s greater experience came in handy when the Hawks hosted Lee-Davis is a crosstown match Tuesday. Hanover easily handled the Confederates to claim an 8-1 victory. Turner Cole, Alan Meade, Jacob Blevins, Chase Lewis and Ryan Madison all won their singles matches, from the No. 2 spot to the No. 6 spot, respectively. The Hawks swept the doubles matches: Zach Palmer and Meade in the No. 1 spot, Cole and Tommy Newton in the No. 2 spot, and Andy Loce and Jack Proctor in the No. 3 spot. Hanover head coach Bill Wheaton said the victory felt good for the Hawks, who four

Also contributing to the Patriots’ attack were Beth Ford, who delivered three hits, and Taylor Prokopis, Avery Houtchins and Hailey Thomas, who had singles. Playoffs are a couple of weeks away. The Patriots are in Conference 16 in the 5A North region. Their opponents aren’t teams they see during the regular season. “We’ve had some messengers delivering us some news about our opponents in the conference,” Foltz said. “Playing our Hanover County teams is the best preparation that we could
heavy hitters – such as Danny Polk, the Virginia High School League Group 4A singles champion, and James Pollard, who with Polk advanced to the Group 4A doubles final – who led the Hawks to the 4A semifinals last year. “It’s been a really big transition year for all of us. But I’m really proud of how everybody – all the way from one through six – has had to step into something completely new,” Wheaton said. “We lost four seniors that had been four-year starters, so when you have that going on, everything’s going to change really, really quickly. … There’s been some bumps, but everybody’s getting used to playing at a higher level than they were previously.” The only match the Hawks dropped was at the No. 1 singles, when Lee-Davis’ Josh Carnohan – who missed the first part of the season because of work obligations – defeated Palmer 6-3, 6-4.
possibly have because Hanover County traditionally has some of the best softball around.” Hanover starter Haley Gilbert gave way to Mackenzie Wyatt after 1-1/3 innings. Wyatt struck out four and walked one before the game was called. The Hawks lost earlier in the week to Lee-Davis, which handed Patrick Henry its one loss this season. “We’ve had a rough week. We’re trying to work through some things as a team,” Hanover coach Stephanie Acors said. “Hopefully, we come back next week with a fresh perspective. … We’ll be back. I’m not worried about that.” Arthur Utley can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Anyone owning property who has not received a bill and whose real estate taxes are not processed by their Mortgage Company may go on-line to www.hanovercounty.org to pay, review and/or print their bill(s), or may call the Hanover County Treasurer’s office at 804-365-6050 or 804-730-6050.

If you purchased a parcel during 2015, contact the Treasurer’s office to have a copy of the tax bill forwarded to you. If you are 65 years old or over, or are permanently disabled, you may qualify for real estate Tax Relief. There are very specific criteria which must be met, including residing on the property for which you are applying.
