STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN
Retiring supervisor puts aside politics for college By Melody Kinser Managing Editor ASHLAND – When G. Ed Via III decided he wasn’t going to seek re-election to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, the two-term Ashland District representative went back to school. He has enrolled at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College to audit some classes. And, even though he will serve through the end of the year, he is studying environmental biology. “I want to take American history and English literature,” Via said. “That’s what I majored in in college so I wanted to refresh my memory on some of those things. I do a lot of readings on Revolutionary Times, John Quincy Adams, John Adams, George Washington. I’m doing that.” Returning to college has been “absolutely wonderful,”

ECHANICSVILLE – Life Church in Mechanicsville welcomed members of the Guilty Ones Motorcycle Club to host its annual “Impact a Child” fundraiser on Saturday, June 27. Due to recent, unrelated motorcycle gang violence in Waco, Texas, the club was having a difficult time securing a site to raise money for a chronically ill 3-yearold Hanover resident named Annabelle. When presented the opportunity to partner with the Guilty Ones to help Annabelle and her family. Life Church opened its doors to ANNABELLE Annabelle and the Guilty Ones. Late afternoon showers did not stop over 300 area residents from attending the “Answers for Annabelle” event that featured music, bounce houses, food vendors and craft booths. The cornhole tournament was described as a big hit and one guest won a 12gauge shotgun in the raffle. The highlight of the day was the final presentation of over $7,200 from the Guilty Ones to Annabelle and her family to help with expenses related to Annabelle’s illness. Pastor Buddy Thompson of Life Church said, “There was never a question of whether
or not we would open our doors for this outstanding cause. Our prayers are with Annabelle as she travels to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital for what might be a life-

changing meeting with her specialist. We look forward to partnering with the Guilty Ones in the future.” Annabelle has a rare life-threatening chronic immune system disease called Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Eosinophilic Esophagitis, among other things, prevents the carrier from eating and swallowing through the esophagus. Annabelle is forced to eat through a feeding tube due to her body painfully rejecting food proteins. Without further treatment, her large and small intestine and colon and also may succumb to the disease. There are no known cures for the illness, only a prognosis of longterm painful and costly options.

SUPERVISOR Continued from pg. 1
Via’s public service started in 1988 when former Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling, then a member of the board of supervisors, appointed him to the Hanover County Parks and Recreation Commission. He spent 16 years with Parks and Rec. “When I first got on the Parks and Rec Commission, there wasn’t much going on except a softball league. The director was Don Seay.” According to Via, there were some in the county who didn’t support Parks and Rec and sought to disband the department. “Fortunately, that didn’t happen.” “When I first got on,” he said, “we had Poor Farm Park [in the Ashland area]. The first thing we did was run a water line from Liberty Middle School to service Poor Farm Park.” When Brad Ashley became Parks and Rec director, Via said, “The county had very little money to send to Parks and Rec, so we had to work on grants from the state and other government entities to try to move the Parks and Rec Department along.” An amphitheater was built at Poor Farm Park. “A lot of people don’t know about it. It used to have summer concerts, bands and things. It has a stage and the whole works. It had little shelf-like places on the grass where you could sit and

board to the board of supervisors and we took a look at the issues and all sides. The planning commission votes and makes recommendations to the board of supervisors and we pretty much were able to do what we thought we should do and then pass our recommendation on to the board of supervisors,” he said.
As a member of the planning commission, Via said he was “instrumental in getting the board to put utility lines under Creighton Road. My opinion was we need to take advantage of these things and be ready for growth when it comes. That was the way I approached the planning commission, where the county was moving towards and try to do things as smartly as we could so the county would continue to move forward in the direction that it should.” He was on the planning commission from April 1, 2004, to 2008, when Ernst told him he wasn’t going to seek re-election to the board of supervisors. “There was a dilemma for me,” Via recalled. “I had never thought about running for public office so I did have to take some time to think about that and talk to some friends. I really wasn’t crazy about the idea and then I talked to a couple of close friends and one of them told me, ‘Ed, if you don’t do it, you’re always going to wonder what if you had.’ And so after much thought and deliberation, I decided to run.” In 2008, he defeated opponents Kevin Damian and Steven Wright by 16 votes. There was a recount and the judges determined that the votes were legal. “To my knowledge, it was the first time

Via said he takes public service seriously and visibility is important to him. “I have participated in every parade in Ashland and Mechanicsville since I’ve been a supervisor. I’ve been to all the high school graduations.” During his two terms on the board of supervisors, he held the office of chairman in 2010 and 2012.

Among those is a clipping from USA Today, dated Sept. 16, 2009, referring to an ordinance he introduced on banning selling or soliciting on roads.

Hitting the road promotes learning
From the editor
Tomato Festival time brings back memories As Mechanicsville prepares for the biggest single-day event (yes, that would be the Hanover Tomato Festival) in this part of Hanover County, thoughts turn to the late Oscar Watson and his dedication to making what started out at the old location of the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department into a must-go destination every year. This writer was initiated well in 2009 when a record-setting 42,000 people filled Pole Green Park. Even though traffic created some challenges for the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and volunteers, it was the start of something special when I experienced my first Tomato Festival. Well, to clarify, it was the first Tomato Festival that I actually attended and worked in The Mechanicsville Local booth. (It was a hot day and we were moving cups of water as fast as possible.) In 2008, just days before becoming editor of The Local, I made the trip from Winchester to check out the festival. Upon entering Pole Green Park, I saw people and vehicles in every direction. So, my first festival was pretty much driving through the park and checking out the vendors all over the park grounds. The initial reaction was “Wow!” Fast forward a year and there’s an interview with Oscar, his daughter Lynn and Donnie West, all representatives of BCVFD. That article has been rewritten and included in our special Tomato Festival supplement in today’s edition. I always smile when I think about Oscar. He was so kind and gracious. While humble about his work with the festival, he devoted himself to its success year-round. Since his passing in 2012, the members of the Hanover Tomato Festival Committee — the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, The Mechanicsville Local, The Herald-Progress and Hanover County Parks and Recreation — have continued a tradition that started in 1978. Thanks to them, and the countless hours they give, we are able to enjoy a day filled with fun, food and entertainment, and, most of all, the Hanover Tomato. Stop by the tomato tent in the center of the park. Those proceeds benefit the Black Creek VFD and keep Oscar’s dream alive. The festival runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Just when I thought I was ready, sort of, to deal with the fact that none of my three school aged children can read or write in cursive, or script, as we knew it, I’m now lamenting the loss or reduction of another longstanding traditions in some elementary schools. I have two children who recently completed the fifth grade at one of the county’s elementary campuses. They learned early in the year they would not be taking the, up until now, annual and much anticipated trip to the nation’s capitol. While they did enjoy several trips to local parks and museums, the big trip to Washington eluded them due
to budget restraints. I think that’s a shame. Some of my fondest memories of elementary school involve field trips to Washington, Williamsburg and Jamestown. Somewhere buried in some attic is the old horseshoe I received from the blacksmith in Williamsburg neatly engraved with my name. And walking through the catacombs under the National Cathedral is a memory that still scares me a little. It’s difficult for me to understand how services like field trips, band and chorus in elementary school were affordable when I attended in the 1950s, but are now unavailable to our children. The absence of music and chorus, the elimination or reduction
of field trips and other cost savings measure may produce short terms results, but rob of our children of priceless childhood experiences that also form a productive base for future success. Maybe, in this case, we should look at the small things, and understand that bold budget policies have consequences. While the cost of educating our children has constantly increased, it might be time to examine where those increases actually land. As taxpayers, it’s mandatory that we demand representation that does not shortchange our students. Perhaps, making sure every student travels to Williamsburg in the fourth grade and Washington in the fifth see LEARNING, pg. 8

Supervisors asked: When will people of color be honored? How long, Hanover County? How long must we as a people positively contribute to this community and not be recognized as whole citizens of this community? In the 1920s, Lucian Hunter had to use his money to purchase a bus to transport children of color to school while other students were provided that transportation. In 1934, Lucian Hunter asked the Hanover County School Board for assistance with the funding of the bus. Their reply: . . . “acceptance of such obligation would not be wise.” How long, Hanover County Board of Supervisors, should we continue to bear the injustices heaped upon us? A year later, 1935, the school board saw the error of their ways and stated “It is a matter of social justice that, as far as practical, Negro bus transportation be provided.” Is it not a matter of social justice to have representation of people of color on our school board? Today, as our minority students attend schools named in honor of your Confederate heroes, in honor of those who fought to suppress people of color, how long, Hanover County, must we wait to be treated with the same respect and equality?
You name your schools after those you call Confederate heroes but they are not heroes to us they chose to enslave. Why should we suffer these indignations? For years, my children were forced to wear your band uniforms with the word “Confederates” on them. For years, when asked, “What is your school’s mascot?,” my children had to reply “The Confederates.” Where are the schools, monuments, streets named after any people of color?

visors, will you ignore the almost 20 percent of your population (all people of color in Hanover), or the 9.5 percent of black Hanover people? The hearts of all of God’s people should be weeping with those who continue in 2015 to bear this injustice. Scripture says to love your neighbor as yourself. We aren’t feeling the love, board of supervisors. The hearts of all of God’s people -- no matter your race -- should be outraged that we continue to carry on these traditions of racism in 2015. In 1965, the black residents of Hanover had to file a suit to ask the school board to “promptly” implement a plan to desegregate Hanover County Public Schools. On Wednesday, June 24, 2015, the only African American on the Hanover County School Board, after having had only two people of color serve on the board in its history, this board of supervisors, chose to get rid of Earl Hunter Jr., who is the grandson of Lucian Hunter. Why did you take this action? At the meeting to nominate persons for the school board, over 50 people of all backgrounds, economic, community and religious groups came to the meeting to support and/or speak on behalf of Mr. Hunter. Supervisor Sean Davis saw it differently. Mr. Davis who spearheaded Mr. Hunter’s removal sat in the room after all speakers completed their affirmation of Mr. Hunter’s reappointment and praised Mr. Hunter for his service, he praised his military service, he praised his commitment and dedication to the children of this community, and then he
plunged the sword. Mr. Davis and his other supervisor buddies chose to appoint Mr. Davis’ fellow committee member from other groups in which he is involved, rather than Mr. Hunter. Why, Mr. Davis? What is your explanation? It can’t be the length of his service; Mr. John Axselle from the Beaverdam District has served just about the same length of time and he was reappointed. It can’t be Mr. Hunter’s lack of experience because the person appointed had no school board experience. It can’t be that he did not actively participate, because in his 24 years of service he missed only six school board meetings. Mr. Hunter has served for 24 years and, with all the praise reaped on him by Mr. Davis, why wouldn’t he want to reappoint him? When asked by CBS 6, Mr. Davis’ only comment was “Mrs. [Marla] Coleman has an impeccable resume.” Well, Mr. Davis, and other members of the Board of Supervisors, so does Mr. Hunter. Add to Mr. Hunter’s impeccable resume his 24 years of service to Hanover, add to his resume the fact that he is a native Hanover resident, add to that what his grandfather did to help students in this county, add to that the fact that Mr. Hunter has served our country as a U.S. Army veteran. We are very aware of how much Hanover adores their veterans as we should and we as a people do as well. The question would be: Is the service of an African American veteran as important? After being applauded for that service by Mr. Davis, he obviously did not take it into account in his decision. Here, in 2015, our strug-
gles for equality continue in Hanover County. Our students study under the stigma of the Confederate banner with no thought of the people who were suppressed by that same institution. Our people struggle under the suppression of this board of supervisors. How much longer, Mr. Davis? In five years, it will be 100 years since Lucian Hunter purchased the bus to allow children of color to ride a bus to school. When will you, Mr. Davis, and the rest of the board end our current disenfranchisement? How long, Mr. Davis? Finally, Mr. Davis, exactly what was your reason for not reappointing Mr. Hunter? Mr. Davis, we are in prayer that God will bring to you and the other board members to full knowledge and understanding about all of the people in Hanover County. We pray that you will come to know that the history of Hanover County is the history of not just Confederates but of other people as well. We are in prayer for your courage to do the right thing in the future. We are in prayer that our community can unite and not continue to be divided by the lack of fair treatment for all Hanover County citizens. We pray that as you speak of all we should do for our veterans and the fair treatment they deserve that you will remember African Americans and other people of color served as well and deserve the same respect. How long, Mr. Davis? How long must we wait? Mr. Davis, we look forward to your reply Patricia Jordan Mechanicsville

participate in activities while in school. For the first time since graduation, after retiring from her career, she is finally now able to share how this affected her. She did not want to wear those words, “The Confederates!” How many children have we disparaged by making students of color wear those words on band, sports and other uniforms? Colleges still look at activity participation for entrance, this action of having mascots and schools named after your heroes has caused some students to not meet this criteria. Why should we be forced to hear the reminder of our enslavement announced at sports games and have to wear it on school apparel? The Lee-Davis Confederates, the Stonewall Jackson Rebels. Then there is Lee Davis Road and Stonewall Jackson Middle School? Do the names Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks or Oliver Hill, who fought the battle to overturn segregationist policies, or even Lucian Hunter from Hanover appear anywhere in Hanover as symbols of freedom? Don’t their struggles count? How long, board of super-

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett
The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Rip, 401643, is a 4-yearold male canine/pitbull mix. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test positive. Rip is a very nice guy who loves to play with his dog friends at the shelter. He gets along very well with them. He also is friendly with anyone who comes around him. Rip did test positive for heartworms. Please contact the office with any questions. Annabelle, 405596, is a 10-year-old female spayed domestic short-haired feline. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Annabelle came to the shelter in early June with two other sister cats. Her two sisters have since been adopted. She would love to be next. Annabelle is a very sweet girl who would make a great house cat. She is litter box trained and very friendly. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-3656485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Kimberly Farnsworth.) Alex Moore, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident, was an excellent student, dedicated citizen, as well as a former Hanover Hawk soccer goalie, described by his coaches Brian Smith and Joe Broscious as being “majestic in the goal.” The Hanover Hawk soccer family was moved to honor him on June 12 in Amherst at their semi-final state championship game. Each player wore a black arm band to show their respect for this young man whose “light went out of this world too soon.” A moment of silence was observed and Alex’s soccer team photo was held high by the Hawks as they prayed. Alex’s spirit was surely present on the field that night as the Hawks won their PK shootout 4-2, leading them to the state final championship game. The Hanover Hawk soccer family wishes to express to the Moore family their heartfelt sympathy for their profound loss.

Girl Scouts deliver cookies to jail ministry County-operated Cannery now open for the season Photo submitted by Suzanne Casey
New Hanover Presbyterian Church’s twoyear-old jail ministry recently joined with the Girl Scouts and packaged and delivered over 6,000 Girl Scout cookies to the Pamunkey Regional Jail and the Richmond City Jail. The Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia have donated cookies to support this ministry. The packages of cookies have encouraging Bible passages on them. Many Girl Scouts have helped with the packaging, including those in Troop 189 (although they are not shown here).

Review: ‘Bye Bye Birdie’ rocks with local talent By Natalie Miller for The Mechanicsville Local
Natalie Miller for The Hanover Local
Chance Johns as Conrad Birdie performs on the Ed Sullivan Show.
HANOVER – “Bye Bye Birdie” recently came to life on the stage at Hanover Tavern, thanks to the efforts of the Center Players. For four days – Thursday through Sunday, June 2528 – Michael Stewart’s 1960s musical featured the talents of students throughout Hanover County and neighboring counties. The Center Players, whose members range in age from 6th to 12th grade, did an incredible job with Stewart’s Broadway hit.
Directors Lorie Foley and Patrick Warren chose to use the 1995 revised version of the musical. The storyline followed the original script and only a few songs differed from the 1960 version. “Bye Bye Birdie” tells the story of the impact of heartthrob rock star Conrad Birdie being drafted into the military during the 1950s. Though much of the musical is based on Birdie and his fame, the real story is that of Albert Peterson, a meek music industry worker played Natalie Miller for The Local by 2015 Patrick Henry High Seniors took their final bow in the Center Players’ production of “Bye Bye Birdie,” which was see BIRDIE, pg. 17

Hanover Humane does more than help animals get homes By Meredith Rigsby mrigsby@mechlocal.com

SHLAND — The Hanover Humane Society in Ashland is unique in that it provides grooming and boarding services to local pet owners, amenities that most humane societies do not offer. Formed in July 1986, the Hanover Human Society began offering grooming and boarding services in 2006 when it purchased, and began operating, at what was previously known as the Yopaka Kennels. The five-acre facility includes multiple buildings

and features individual rooms where potential adopters can visit with adoptable pets, an on-site office space, a kennel consisting of 71 dog runs, grooming facilities, a gift shop and a Paw Paw Path, or a dog walking trail that goes through the woods around the facility. “The majority of our work is done by volunteers; we do have some paid staff to operate the kennel facility here in Ashland,” said Andy Paine, operations director at Hanover Humane Society. “We do full-service boarding and grooming there also, and the proceeds from that help offset our operating costs.” The main groomer for the

Hanover Humane Society has 30 years of experience and the organization also has a trained bather on-site. What sets Hanover Humane Society apart from big box stores like PetSmart and Petco is that it is able to offer clients a “boutiquestyle” experience for their pets. Unlike corporate stores, the Humane Society requires that pet owners make an appointment to get their animal groomed, usually about a week or so in advance, and only so many dogs will be groomed per day. In addition, the small staff size allows the groomers and bathers to develop a rapport with the

ASHLAND — Thanks to what is described as “a gracious donation from Olde Town Bicycles in Ashland,” the Ashland Police Department is providing a limited number of free bicycle lights to increase the visibility and safety of people riding bikes at night. Beginning this month, night shift police officers will be able to provide a free bike headlight, taillight and batteries to cyclists they observe riding after dark without proper illumination. Currently, the department has 16 sets of head and taillights that will be distributed only by officers during patrol duties. “We’re very grateful to Olde Town Bicycles for their generous donation of bike lights see APD, pg. 18

Because the Hanover Humane Society groomers are able to provide the extra time and care for these pets compared to big box stores, they also are more likely to notice if something is wrong with the animal. “Groomers will often catch a lot of things, physical problems.

This musical, which is typically viewed in big theaters on Broadway, felt right at home on the Hanover Tavern’s smaller stage. The small-town feel of the production added a special charm to the show that made it even more enjoyable than viewing the same musical on Broadway.

You don’t get that when you’re going to one of these big box places where they’ve got five or six groomers and you’re getting somebody different each time — they don’t know the animal.” In addition to grooming and boarding services, the Hanover Humane Society also provides a Wellness Clinic every first and third Wednesday of each month and Loving Critter Camp for kids during the summer. The Wellness Clinic is not
a full-service veterinary facility, but does offer preventative care for healthy animals, including routine vaccines and testing. The Wellness Clinic is open to the public from 4 to 5:45 p.m. twice a month and clients are seen on a first come, first served basis. A $45 exam fee will apply for clients with five or more animals seeing the vet at any one clinic. Loving Critter Camp is a day camp that takes place every summer. At the camp, children make crafts and participate in other activities. Hanover Human Society’s Loving Critter Camp also
teaches children about different types of animals and how to care for them. “We’ll have people bring in birds or we’ll have canine officers bring in dogs and they have some other people that are bringing reptiles and things like that,” Paine said. “And we just teach them about care and management of those animals and teach them how to be a humane citizen.” The Hanover Humane Society is always looking for additional volunteers and extra funds to support the organization’s efforts.

community effort, as actors not part of the Center Players offered their time to the show. This particular production required children younger than 6th grade to perform, and the Players’ younger siblings were eager to step up and dance alongside their older counterparts. The Center Players had six weeks to rehearse their lines and dance moves. They performed with sincere professionalism. What is even more impressive is that these dedicated Center Players chose their passion for acting over beach trips and other summer vacation activities. This outstanding cast did an excellent job of making audience members feel like part of the performance and fun. The actors clearly enjoyed
every second of the show and seemed as though they would perform with just as much enthusiasm and joy had there not been an audience. The chemistry among the actors was felt during moments when a line was misspoken or a smaller actor needed assistance with a dance move, and they shared a quick, secret smile. Performers also encouraged one another both on- and off-stage. While a few cast members performed solos of some of their favorite songs during the pre-show, the rest of the crew shouted and cheered on their friends from backstage. Audience members were caught up in a setting comparable to a close group of friends sharing their passion with their community. Hanover Tavern’s theater
seating contributed to the intimate feel of the show. Seating wrapped around the front three sides of the stage so that viewers in the front row were only inches from the actors. In scenes with over 15 actors singing on stage, audience members could make eye contact with the young actors and even see the non-Center Player children catching their breath after a dance number. Sunday’s show was especially memorable for the graduating high school seniors who took their final bow as actors with the Center. Carleigh Luck, Joseph Sandler, Chance Johns and Katelyn Tate gave their all for this final performance. Tate, a recent Patrick Henry graduate, stole the show in her role as Mrs. Mae Peterson, Albert Peterson’s obnoxiously overbearing mother. Tate
brought the audience to tears with laughter through her snarky comments and outrageous actions — even standing in a trash can and lamenting dramatically about how her
son no longer loves her. This show was absolutely delightful and proves that Hanover County is its own stage filled with talent and creativity.

Hanover County Public Schools celebrated “Music in Our Schools Month” by hosting its first-ever instrument donation drive. The community was asked to donate gently used musical instruments. The response yielded over 95 percussion, brass, woodwind and string instruments. They were refurbished by the school system’s business partner, Music and Arts, for use in HCPS classrooms. Orchestra teachers are shown inspecting some of the donated and refurbished instruments before they were distributed to the schools. They are, from left, Brent Idleman (Liberty Middle School and Patrick Henry High School), Maureen Hawley (Stonewall Jackson Middle School and Lee-Davis High School), Melissa Jones (Chickahominy Middle School and Atlee High School) and Lucretia Davis (Oak Knoll Middle School and Hanover High School).

Witnesses claimed that Chiswell and Robert Routledge, a mer-

chant, argued in a tavern in Cumberland County and that the argument culminated in an intoxicated Chiswell running through Routledge with his sword. Chiswell claimed Routledge’s death was an accident. Chiswell was arrested and transferred to Williamsburg, where he was released on bond. Chiswell was besieged by the populace, who believed a rich and arrogant man was about to get away with murder. Before the case could come to trial, however, Chiswell died under mysterious circumstances. Did Chiswell die from suicide, or something else? Performance on Aug. 15. Lt. George Finley – Pickett’s Charge March with Lt. George W. Finley and his men into the mouths of the Union guns at Gettysburg. Finley was a native Virginian who was one of a handful of Southerners who got over the stone wall at Cemetery Ridge. He was captured and spent the next two years in federal prison camps. He vowed that he would become a minister if he survived the war. He eventually returned home and became pastor of a Presbyterian church in Fishersville, Virginia. Pickett’s Charge was the most dramatic event in the most dramatic battle of the most dramatic war in American history. Finley’s story captures all the drama and illustrates principles of leadership, courage and character. Performance on Aug. 22.
Sheriff: start planning for National Night out activities HANOVER – Maj. Michael J. Trice of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office has announced that National Night Out will take place Tuesday, Aug. 4.

communities safer. Neighborhoods, businesses and community organizations across the nation host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and other various community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel and exhibits. “Our mission is to continue to build strong partnerships with our citizens and commu-
nity partners. Participating in National Night Out is a great way to meet our neighbors, raise awareness about crimeprevention programs, and send a message that our communities are organized and committed to partnering with each other and the Sheriff ’s Office to keep Hanover a safe place to live, work, and raise a family,”
In 1978, that first booth was devoted to tomatoes. There were upwards of 15 craft-related vendors, a dunking booth, fire and rescue demonstrations and competitions, including the quickest firefighters putting on turnout gear and climbing a ladder. As far as demonstrations, Lynn Watson said, “We’d burn up cars.” Even though that interview took place six years ago, one statement Lynn Watson made at the time still rings true: “It’s just gotten more and more popular. People love their hometown festivals.” Growth prompted the Black Creek VFD group to seek a larger space for the festival. For several years, it was held on the grounds of Battlefield Park Elementary School. With the festival becoming so popular throughout Hanover County, shuttles had been to used to transport people from parking areas to the school. In 1999, the Hanover Tomato Festival found its current home at Pole Green Park. West said Pole Green Elementary School was under construction. The move was a testament to what the festival had come to mean to the people of the county. Attendance
spiked was what Oscar Watson said of the location change. Lynn Watson compared the move to the Kevin Costner movie, “Field of Dreams.” “If you build it, they will come,” she said in paraphrasing “If you build it, he will come.” In addition to the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, the Tomato Festival Board includes Hanover County Parks and Recreation, The Herald Progress and The Mechanicsville Local. Meetings are held throughout the year because, as Lynn Watson said, “As soon as this one is over, we start [planning for] next year. There’s a lot of behindthe-scenes things that we do. Our members, of course, help with parking cars and selling tomatoes and parking vendors – just whatever it is that needs to be done.” Monies raised at the Tomato Festival are still channeled to the BCVFD. Funds are used for training and equipment and even helped purchase a utility truck. “All proceeds benefit us,” Lynn Watson said. “Whatever they buy – tomatoes, t-shirts, cookbooks – that all comes right back to us.” Oscar Watson’s death moti-

vated the committee, as well as county and community leaders, to continue the path of success for a festival to which he gave so much of his time. Throughout the years, he remained modest about his role, saying the day is about the community and the fire department. “Neighbors helping neigh-
bors” has been a longtime theme in the Black Creek VFD, Lynn Watson said. She added she knows how significant that “down-home community feel” is to the festival. With the 2015 Hanover Tomato Festival scheduled for Saturday, July 11, attendees can expect safety remains a prior-

The Mechanicsville Local traveled with Kevin Jones and CA Handy on their third trip to the Arctic where they visited the Inuvialuit home of James Pokiak in Tuktoyaktuk, NWT. James and his family took great pride as they shared the Inuvialuit history and customs with their guests. Mrs. Pokiak included many of the local “country” foods, such as musk ox, caribou, whitefish and wild berries, in the meals she prepared for them. From Tuktoyaktuk, Kevin and CA, accompanied by James and his son-in-law, made the 10-hour ski machine trip to the Pokiaks’ remote Arctic cabin. While enjoying the 24 hours of daylight and traversing miles of frozen lakes and spectacular, snow-covered tundra, they took every opportunity to spot and photograph the Arctic and its wildlife, including musk ox, caribou, Arctic fox, snowy owls, ptarmigan, cranes and geese. They said that harvesting a gorgeous old barren ground grizzly boar proved an exciting ending to the memorable trip.

the Pamunkey’s identity and makes its members eligible for well-earned benefits, including housing, education and healthcare funding,” he said. “The Pamunkey are the first Virginia Indian tribe to receive federal recognition, over 400 years after making contact with the first European settlers.

and Kaine have introduced the bipartisan Thomasina E. Jordan Indian Tribes of Virginia Federal Recognition Act, legislation that would grant federal recognition of six Virginia tribes: the Chickahominy, the Eastern Chickahominy, the Upper Mattaponi, the Rappahannock, the Monacan and the Nansemond. ‘These tribes have received official recognition from the Commonwealth of Virginia, but have not received federal recognition. The bill cleared its first procedural hurdle in March with passage out of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee.

Atlee All-Stars win District 5 softball title By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Mechanicsville was guaranteed a champion in the District 5 Little League softball tournament. Two teams remained: the Atlee All-Stars and the Mechanicsville All-Stars. Mechanicsville, coming from the losers’ bracket, needed to beat Atlee twice to win the district title. Atlee, which had not lost a game yet, needed just one win. Atlee, in a performance that began with a crawl and ended with a rush, got that one win with a 10-0 victory over Mechanicsville Thursday night at Lee-Davis High School. Atlee pitcher Riley Dull held Mechanicsville to two singles and a walk, striking out six batters in five innings of work. She said confidence in her defense allowed her to relax on the mound. “I just have such a great team behind me,” Dull said. “I’m just ready to throw the ball and I know if they hit it, [the defense has] got my back.” Mechanicsville manager Steve Harmon said his problem was an abundance of Atlee talent rather than a lack of it among his own roster. “We played really hard,” Harmon said. “But we didn’t have the fuel in the team that

Atlee does. Very dominating pitcher.” Harmon’s batters made contact, but the ball was usually sent toward one of the Atlee defenders. Atlee’s batters, on the other hand, more often than not found the gaps. While Mechanicsville’s defense helped Atlee with three walks and two errors, Atlee tallied 10 hits.

Long-time L-D baseball coach steps down By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The proverb says “All things must pass.” That time has now come for one of the deans of Hanover County – Richmond-area – baseball, for Lee-Davis head baseball coach Kenny Lewis has stepped down after 23 years at the helm of the Confederates’ squad. Lewis tendered his resignation after the end of the 2015 season in which Lee-Davis advanced to the Conference 11 semifinal, where it was eliminated by Douglas Freeman 2-1 in a nine-inning dogfight. According to Lee-Davis athletic director Tripp Metzger, Lewis said it was time to step down and give someone else a chance to lead the team. Lewis confirmed that. “I just think it’s time,” Lewis said. “It’s time for me for me to move on. I’m at the end of the road, of my road. But I think it’s time for a … fresh, invigorated voice. The kids deserve that.”

Former Lee-Davis head baseball coach Kenny Lewis in 1996 (above) and last week (right).
Lewis’ teams won two state AAA championships, in 1997 and in 2001. While the Confederates consistently had winning teams despite an often
brutal regular season schedule, Lewis said he had been thinking of stepping down the last couple of years, but held off thinking the energy to live up to his own
standards would reappear. “It just didn’t,” Lewis said. “So at the end of this year, I’m at the point both personally and professionally where I feel
guilty. This is not the way I have done it. It’s not what the kids deserve. So the right thing to do is, in a sense, put myself out to pasture and let someone else come in with a new perspective and a fresh voice.” Lewis is not leaving coaching altogether. He will continue to coach the Confederates’ golf team as well as to teach history at Lee-Davis. “I love being in the classroom,” Lewis said. “I’ve always considered myself a teacher first.” The highlight of Lewis’
coaching career may not have been either of his two state championships, but instead his first Lee-Davis team in 1993. Despite a .500 record, the team won the Capital District tournament and then played a tough Mills Godwin team in the first round of the region tournament. While the Eagles edged the Confederates 1-0, Lewis was proud of how hard – and well – his team played. “It was then that we, and certainly I, realized that this could be pretty special,” Lewis said. “This is fun. The hard work wins. … How we ended that season really gave us all a certain amount of confidence in what we were doing.” Everything after that seemed like gravy. “The other things, I’m just very happy for the kids,” Lewis said. “I hope that it’s been a good impression, a favorable impression, and a lasting impression on them.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
Mechanicsville edges Atlee in 9-10 tourney By Kris Mason For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Mechanicsville American used a 12-run fifth inning to break open a tie game and coast to a 17-5 victory over the Atlee All-Stars in the District 5 Little League tournament at Mechanicsville Little League Wednesday. Mechanicsville American brought 18 batters to the plate that inning as they captured a win in their first game of the double-elimination tournament while Atlee dropped to 1-1. Big innings are nothing new for this Mechanicsville team.
“This team tends to get on a roll,” said Mechanicsville manager Adam Baker. “They can catch on and get contagious.” The game was a backand-forth affair before Mechanicsville’s 12-run inning. Back-to-back solo home runs by Cody Christman and Kyle Allgood helped Mechanicsville jump out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Atlee bounced back in the second inning, scoring five runs to take a 5-3 lead. Mechanicsville responded in the top of the fourth inning when Christman hit another home run to cut the Atlee lead to one. Mike Castaldo then
singled with the bases loaded to the tie the game at 5-all. It looked like the game would be a nail-biter before Mechanicsville stepped up to the plate in the fifth. Baker felt his team’s fifth-inning outburst was the result of his players relaxing. “I think they just went up there, they’ve settled in after one time through the lineup and after that it was they were seeing the ball well enough to hit,” Baker said. Atlee manager Don Smith could not quite explain how the game unraveled for his AllStars. “I’m not sure I can tell
you what happened, just what didn’t happen,” Smith said. “Everything we threw at them they hit, the hitters just started hitting and it seemed like we couldn’t stop them.” Smith said that he would tell his players to move on from that inning. “I’ll tell them forget about that inning and comeback and play our game,” Smith said. Adverse weather forced numerous postponements in all the District 5 tournaments, and Dave Lawrence/The Local the Little League tournament Mechanicsville American’s Nolan Baker slides home ahead of has been no exception, with the tag attempt by Atlee All-Stars catcher Joshua Smithson in both teams’ next games played Mechanicsville’s 17-5 victory over Atlee in the District 5 Little League tournament at Mechanicsville Little League Wednesday. see EDGES, pg. 32

Relays give Atlee edge over Hanover Country Club By Danny Polk For The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – It was a busy night at the scorers’ table: Four hours and all 55 events were needed to determine a winner in Wednesday’s Greater Richmond Aquatic League swimming duel between Hanover Country Club and visiting Atlee Recreation Association. Atlee’s Gators escaped with a 19-point victory, 1,150-1,131, in large part due to their strong relay performances. In events 52 through 55, all relays, Atlee outscored Hanover 116-104. Depth helped. The Gators raced a five more relay teams in those events. “There were a lot of really close races between both teams and it really came down to the last few relays,” said Atlee’s firstyear head coach Matt Elliot. “Both teams were battling back and forth. The relays score double points, so those were key. It came down to the end and we were able to pull it out.” The meet featured fourteen quad winners – eight from Atlee and six from Hanover. Atlee’s quad winners were Colleen Blakeney, Eryn Comer, Corinne Daley, Grace Daley, Luke Daley, Sophie Lacatell, Abby McEntire, and Riley Wade. The Gators’ triple winners were Emily Beaudin, Mackenzie Brittle, Camden Byrd, Taylor Grubb, Avery Jenkins, Nathan Kennan, Jake Kilpatrick, Nick Ligday, Jacob Mandelbaum and Meghan Powers. The Sharks quad winners were Jacob Cox, K.K. Kashinejad, Maddie Medei, Dalton Nash, Cole Nuckols, and Logan Nuckols. Hanover Country Club’s triple winners were Brendan Cox, Caroline Cox, Kemp Jones, Melanie McAdoo, Sydney McAdoo, Shelby Nash, Buddy Page,

Dalton Nash, a swimmer and baseball player at Patrick Henry High School, completed a sweep of the club’s boys 1518 record book. Entering the night, just one record – the 100 yard freestyle – was owned by someone else. Nash conquered that feat, swimming a 51.65 to oust the previous record by more than a second. “I had every other record here in the Yard up until this one, the 100 free,” Nash said, “I thought I could get it here and I got it. I swam faster than I did at Patrick Henry during the winter season.” After week three of the six meet season, both teams stand at 2-1. Atlee’s only loss came in a 13 point defeat in week one against Tuckahoe Village West. “We’re trying to swim personal bests,” Elliot said. “It’s not really about placing.
